Chapter 86: Spirits
What tripped Li Ruochu was a bone that had been inserted diagonally into the ground, very long, like the thigh bone of some kind of animal. As Li Ruochu tripped over, the part buried in the soil was also lifted, revealing other things in the soil, broken fur and more bones, the fur seemed to be torn, and there were tooth marks on the bones.
"What the hell!" Li Ruchu exclaimed in surprise and hid behind Wang Dao, but he couldn't help but look curiously.
Wang Dao and Hong Tiancai's eyes lit up, and they all squatted down to check, Hong Tiancai also has a lot of hunting experience, otherwise there would not be a bow and crossbow on the car at any time, and they smiled after identifying it.
"It's a wild boar, it hasn't been bitten to death for more than two months, it seems that there are big guys in this forest. ”
Wang Dao nodded, "Well, the tooth marks look like leopards, wild boars, and leopards, which is interesting." ”
"Haha, if you know, I won't buy sheep, I'll look to see if there are any footprints. ”
Hong Tiancai is also a master of the arts, and immediately searched around like a chicken, but he did not leave the sight of the king. This forest is very large, stretching all the way to the mountains, and this is to meet wild boars and leopards, and he is only two layers of quenching, which is not easy to do.
"Let's go out and tell the people first?" he shouted at the king.
Wang Dao shook his head, there are still two half-demons outside, not to mention bodyguards, even if there are leopards and wild boars rushing out of the forest, they will die.
"Bang ......"
Suddenly, a low gunshot rang out, which startled Hong Tiancai, and shouted in surprise, "Who shoots, we don't have guns!"
After speaking, he slapped his head with his hand, remembering that Zhang Liang was an evolutionary with long-range offensive ability, and muttered with jealousy, "Damn Zhang Liang, don't scare the big guy away!"
"His air bomb can't hit it very far, and the smaller prey is shattered when it is hit, maybe it is the big one. ”
Wang Dao spoke, and ran with Li Ruochu to the place where the gunshots were made, he knew Zhang Liang's ability, the range was not more than ten meters, the power was not small, it should not be a hare or a pheasant, Hong Tiancai hurriedly followed.
"Don't come here......"
Seeing that Zhang Liang's figure was found, but hearing him shouting and warning people not to approach, the three of them quickly stopped.
"Leopard or wild boar?" Hong Tiancai couldn't help but ask in a loud voice.
Zhang Liang looked around vigilantly, and shouted at the same time, and slowly walked towards the people of the royal road, "I don't know, I was almost ambushed, that thing disappeared in a flash, it should still be nearby." ”
Hong Tiancai's hair immediately stood up, and he raised his bow to look around, but he knew Zhang Liang's strength, compared to him, he was a shrimp, but Zhang Liang was almost ambushed, God knows what it was.
Wang Dao was also taken aback, is there a monster in this barren mountain range?
But this is just a small mountain range in the hinterland of the continent, although the aura of heaven and earth can be sensed, but it is surrounded by cities, and under the pollution, it is fatal that there is little aura of heaven and earth, and there should be no environment for monsters.
He let out a low voice, "Let's go out first." ”
At the same time, he also looked around vigilantly, waiting for Zhang Liang to approach, and the three big men protected Li Ruochu in the center and slowly withdrew from the woods.
"Ryoko, you won't be dazzled, right?" Hong Tiancai couldn't help but ask.
"Look at my back. Zhang Liang let out a deep voice.
Hong Tiancai glanced at it, and then saw that the left clothes on his back had three cuts, and there were faint traces of blood.
"Hold the grass! The one with claws can't be a leopard, right?"
Zhang Liang said in a deep voice, "I can strangle a leopard with my hands." ”
After all, he hadn't awakened for a long time, and he didn't know many things, and now was not the time to explain carefully, and the four of them didn't go deep into the woods, and slowly withdrew to the river.
"Don't scare anyone else. ”
After Wang Dao finished speaking, he walked easily towards the bonfire that had been lit, still holding the wild pigeon that had been shot and killed, and the only prey of the four.
Li Ruoying greeted everyone with a smile, "Why are you coming back soon, you haven't started roasting yet." ”
A sheep has been skinned and put on a wooden shelf, not far away is a pair of burning charcoal, someone is smearing material on the sheep, as long as the charcoal is burned red, the sheep will be roasted, Wang Dao easily threw the wild pigeon over.
The chef smiled and reached out to take it, "Haha, it's not enough to eat." ”
Hongtiancai was quite nervous, and seeing so many people present, he felt more at ease.
Wang Dao shouted, "There are leopards and wild boars in the woods, don't get too close." ”
Everyone didn't take it seriously, feeling that so many people leopards and wild boars didn't dare to approach, but they were very excited, they didn't expect that there were wild large animals in this place.
Wang Dao glanced at it and saw Tian Meiqi take off her shoes and soak her feet in the shallow river water, which was only two or three meters wide, and walked over and sat on the big pebbles beside her.
Seeing her small and delicate feet poking into the clear water, and a few small fish swimming closer, it looked like a painting.
He looked around at no one else and whispered, "How many years have you been here?"
"Four or five years ago, I came here with the bureau on a mission. What's wrong?" Tian Meiqi asked suspiciously.
Wang Dao immediately rolled his eyes, gritted his teeth a little and said, "You have carried out a mission here, and you dare to bring us here?"
"A mutant beast attacked humans and livestock, and the villagers ran away. I cleaned it up earlier, what's wrong?"
"Are you sure you're cleaned up?" Wang Dao looked at her with a gloomy face.
"The specimen is in the General Bureau, or did I make it myself. Wait a minute...... And?" Tian Meiqi opened her mouth in surprise.
Wang Dao rolled his eyes angrily, and asked again, "What kind of mutant beast was back then?"
"A money leopard, smaller than a wolf dog, said in the bureau to live for at least 50 years, and is about to become a sperm. ”
This reassures the king, spirits and monsters are two grades, and the monsters that can transform into human form are extremely powerful, but that refers to the first generation of demons that transformed from beast form to human form.
As the beast form is transformed into a human form, the offspring born in the future will be directly in human form, although it can also be demonized, but the strength is much lower. After years of accumulation, you can slowly improve your strength, and if you have mixed blood, it will be even slower.
Hu Jing and her mother are like this, and Tian Meiqi is the same, the vast majority of demons on the earth today are in this form, and bullets or other high-power weapons can kill them.
Spirits are creatures that have lived for a long time and have understood human nature, and know how to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon and the aura of heaven and earth. Because of the long life span, it is more cunning, and it will slowly transform into a monster in the long run.
But if you want to become a monster, it must be enough now, in the final analysis, it is still the lack of aura on the earth, heaven and earth, and it has become a rare breed like the monks.
Seeing him pondering, Tian Meiqi continued, "By the way, it was only a female at the beginning, could it be a couple and a male?"
"Whatever the hell, the corpse of the spirit has been made into a specimen exhibition, it is a tyrannical thing. ”
Tian Meiqi also looked pity, "I didn't wake up at the time, otherwise I would have eaten it secretly!"
Wang Dao grinned, "It's a waste to eat it, I have a way to refine it into an elixir." ”
"Can you do alchemy?" Tian Meiqi's eyes immediately lit up.
Wang Dao's expression immediately became tangled, "Huh...... Theoretically, yes. ”
Seeing Tian Meiqi's contemptuous eyes, she hurriedly said, "That's because there are no suitable materials, even if there are materials in the past, they will be occupied by the master and the senior brothers and sisters, which round will get me." Don't worry, it's okay with Daoye's means. ”
"Then we have to hunt it first. Tian Meiqi struck out.
"Don't worry, leopard creatures like to haunt at night, and then call Hu Jing, she has a smart nose. ”
Tian Meiqi also knew Hu Jing's identity, and nodded with a smile, her eyes full of expectation.
Although we all came to play together, some people could know about it, and some people couldn't. At the signal of Wang Dao, Tian Meiqi waved her hand towards Hu Jingyi.
"Quietly, you can come here. ”
Hu Jing was originally making a vegetable salad with Chen Jiajia, and ran over happily when she saw it.
"What's wrong?"
Originally, Wang Dao wanted to explain, but when she saw Li Ruoying waving her hand to herself, and Li Ruochu was still sitting next to her, she realized that Li Ruochu must have said something, so she had to walk over and hand over the work of explaining to Hu Jing to Tian Meiqi.
"What are you talking about mysteriously with my cousin?" As soon as she got closer, Li Ruoying deliberately asked with a straight face.
Wang Dao sat down on the horse next to her and whispered, "Didn't Ruochu tell you, we met a powerful creature in the forest and injured Zhang Liang." ”
He also fingered Zhang Liang, at this time Zhang Liang had already dragged his camouflage uniform bare-chested, revealing a strong muscle, but fortunately, he was only scratched by his claws, and Ah Hu helped him wipe the medicine and disinfect it.
"How powerful?" Li Ruoying was also aroused.
"Tian Meiqi and I suspect that it was a fish left behind when the Special Affairs Bureau rounded up the spirits here a few years ago. ”
"What's the weird?" the sisters asked in unison, the first time they had heard of such a term, and they were all aroused by curiosity.
