Chapter 85: Hunting the Wild Old Demon Encountering the Faceless Beast
In the place where the long-haired old demon haunts, waiting for the arrival of the long-haired old demon, it seems to be crazy.
But Xiaoran, Gong Liangxin, Liu Hai, Zu Tao, Xuan Xiaofu, Zhou Shoujuan, Mei Fanglan, Sun Chuanfen, and Lan Xinger did not go crazy to such an extent.
This was one of the items in the afternoon selection competition, and all twelve groups of new initiation disciples had their own tasks. Their group's mission is to hunt down a savage and ferocious long-haired demon without using mana.
Anyone who uses mana in violation of the rules will be expelled from the cloud gate.
This is not only a test of their physique, but also of their intelligence. For this operation, they have already thought about it again. In Xiao Ran's opinion, this operation seems to be the best plan to capture the long-haired old demon.
Xuan Xiaofu, the sixth prince of the Southern Wilderness, also agreed with this plan. He felt that this operation would be an exciting adventure for him!
In this way, they hid in a shelter surrounded by thorn bushes, and watched as the sky grew dark.
In the hunting account of Xiaoyu City, people call such a sword bush "sword fortress", but Gong Liangxin feels that this kind of bunker is not very safe.
"It's only over two meters tall," he whispered, "and the hairy old demon can easily fly in." ”
"But it can't fly," replied Zhou, whose father was a well-known hunter who had been hunting with him since he was a child.
Sun Chuanfen was curious: "In that case, then why do you still use the sword bushes? Why don't you just sit on the empty ground and wait for him to come?"
Zhou Shoujuan said seriously: "To do that is to ask for trouble." You think, in the dark, if a Brilliant Beast, or a Whiskered Beast, or a Rhino, or a Great Drakemon, or some other demon beast, inadvertently trips over you, it will be frightened. It will attack you in self-defense, and a single blow to you with its claws is enough to kill you. But all the monsters hate the Sword Tree. They will bypass as soon as they touch the sword tree. At least, I hope they will. ”
"Except for the hairy old demon we're waiting for. ”
"Yes, except for this hairy old demon. We've got a gift ready for it, and we're welcoming it. If it smells us, it will definitely come at us. ”
"You want it to come?" Gong Liangxin's voice trembled a little.
"Of course I want it to come, that's why we're here. How's it going? Gong Liangxin, scared?"
"I'm not afraid," Gong Liangxin argued, "it's just a little cold." ”
Zhou Shoujuan has been catching demon beasts since he was a child, and this time he signed up for Cloud Gate together, and he happened to be assigned to Xiaoran's group. He was trained by his father and had a great skill in catching monsters.
"Today was a very unfortunate day, nine Orions were bitten to death and eaten by the Hairy Old Demon in the morning. Zhou Shoujuan's expression was a little sad, "I know most of them...... The long-haired old demon is really notorious. More than fifty years ago, I had heard the terrifying story of the long-haired old demon devouring the Orions of Xiaoyu City. Now, these long-haired old demons, perhaps their descendants, are back to their old jobs! However, the long-haired old demons are not all feeding on our spirit foxes, they like to eat goats very much. But as long as you eat the spirit fox once, you won't touch other prey again. So, I'm putting this goat in kind of experiment. If it comes directly at us, it must be the long-haired old demon who eats people, and if it only goes to eat goats, it is not. ”
Lan Xing'er said strangely: "Why?
"The meat of our spirit fox is a bit salty, and it is tender and delicious. Compared to the monsters that bounce around all day long, eating filth, our muscles are clean and soft, our skin is smooth, and there are no feathers or spikes to puncture the thick soft jaws of the hairy old monsters. Either way, I promise I won't put you in danger. ”
The sixth prince hurriedly said: "I let you do everything, this is really not exciting at all." ”
Lan Xing'er patted his head with her hand, "Okay, let's go now." Tonight, it's up to you to capture the hairy old demon!"
"Little junior sister, I didn't mean that...... I just don't think we can help with anything!" the sixth prince touched his head and smiled, he fell in love with Lan Xing'er at the first sight, and even changed the arrogant prince's temper. In the palace, if anyone dares to pat him on the head, he will definitely not be spared. Of course, except for his father, the Southern Desolate Fox Emperor Xuanding, no one dared to pat him on the head.
"Don't call me junior sister! My master and you are senior brothers. You are a generation older than me, and you are my little uncle. ”
"Little junior sister screamed kindly, and I don't know how to call you......"
Just then, there was a clatter of movement in the bushes.
"Listen, it may be the hairy old demon here. ”
Everyone clenched their weapons tightly.
The six princes also brought a few thunderbolts from the Tang Sect, which could be thrown at the demon beast if necessary, and the thunderbolt exploded in front of the demon beast.
He thought it would scare the monster into a daze.
"Light up the sea lanterns. Zhou Shoujuan whispered.
The six princes lit up the sea pearl lantern, and there were at least a dozen demon beasts tearing at their lure - the bloody goat. It's disappointing - they're not hairy old goblins, they're terrifying facelets about the size of dogs.
Unoblivious to the light, they tore at the goat and dragged it toward the bushes. If they drag the goats away, the whole plan is over.
"These faceless beasts are too bold to dare to come to the long-haired old demon's lair to forage for food!" Zhou Shoujuan, despite his experience, also felt incredible.
The sixth prince said excitedly: "Do you want to throw thunderbolts at them to scare them away?"
Zhou Shoujuan shook his head calmly, "That will also scare the lion away, no- we have to keep quiet." ”
"But you can't let them mess things up, how about throwing stones?"
"Yes, if we can find the stones. He touched the ground with his hand, "There's a piece here." ”
Zhou Shoujuan stood up and threw it hard, hitting a faceless beast in the mouth impartially, and immediately erupted into a terrifying scream.
The throw did not drive the Facelings away, instead, instead of tearing at the goats, they roared towards the Sword Fortress.
Facelings alone are cowards, but when they are in groups, they are terrifying. Knowing that he will get help from his peers, he becomes bold and fierce. Now, they were surrounded by a horde of hard-jawed facebeasts that circled the sword bushes in search of a hole to get into.
"Hurry up and light up the sea pearl lanterns in your hands!" Zhou Shoujuan became nervous, "Everyone form a circle back to back to see if any faceless beasts have come in the sword fortress." As soon as they show their heads, slam them with your weapon!"
As he spoke, several Faceless Beasts stuck their heads in, and when they were attacked by their weapons, they retracted, leaving a puddle of blood, a hole, and a howl.
But the other end drilled in again, squeezing the hole a little wider, and everyone slammed it again.
At this time, there was a howl from the other side of the "Sword Fortress", which was to tell the partner: Come here!
"Oh no, this is a companion summoning order! Otherwise, after a while, more Faceless Beasts will rush in regardless of life or death! The number of Faceless Beasts is extremely large, even if we use mana, we will be torn apart!" Zhou Shoujuan's voice was extremely anxious and nervous, he just wanted to use this method to drive away the Faceless Beasts, but he didn't expect that these Faceless Beasts were not only afraid, but also regarded them as a group of good prey, and were ready to do their best to encircle and suppress them.
"Could it be that our group's mission is going to fail like this!" Lan Xing'er was unwilling.
"What mission do you want? While the large group of faceless beasts has not yet gathered, let's quickly cast a spell and escape!" Zhou Shoujuan roared and rushed out of the "Sword Fortress" with his sword raised.
"You follow Zhou Shoujuan to escape, and I will cover you behind!" Xiao Ran knew that Zhou Shoujuan would not lie, and as he spoke, he pulled out the "witch slaying sword" on his waist with a brush.
"Master, I will die with you!" Lan Xing'er pulled out his blue dagger and leaned close to Xiaoran.
"I'm the Red Fox Realm, I can escape at any time, you don't have to worry about me, escape with them!" Xiao Ran gave an order to Lan Xing'er.
"No!"
"Hurry up, I'll protect you here, just drag you down!" Xiao Ran finished speaking, swinging his sword and slashing open the "Sword Fortress". Countless faceless beasts had already pounced, and Xiao Ran immediately cast the Red Fox Realm, forming a red light curtain to block the group of faceless beasts.
"Let's go!" Zhou Shoujuan swung his sword and slashed several faceless beasts around him, and was the first to rush towards the jungle in the opposite direction. The rest of the people followed.
"Little junior sister, come with me!" the sixth prince grabbed Lan Xing'er, who was still in a daze.
"Master—you have to be careful—" Lan Xing'er was reluctant to give up, and glanced at Xiao Ran, who was alone in the group of beasts, before fleeing with the six princes.
Xiao Ran didn't expect that the number of Faceless Beasts was so huge, their temperament was so ferocious, and during the battle, their bodies were bitten in many places. It was the hairy old demon who saved him. It was attracted by the scream of the hairy old demon. The Facelings immediately changed their minds and fled into the bushes with a strange scream.
This unusually large long-haired old demon walked towards Xiaoran. Xiao Ran gasped, no wonder it ate so many Orions in one go!
This wasn't a good deal, driving out a pack of Faceless Beasts in exchange for an even more dangerous Hairy Demon!
The pearl of sea swayed on the face of the long-haired old demon—Xiaoran's hands were trembling. The hairy old demon stopped, staring at the light. It's not that it's scared, it's just attracted to the light. Its eyes are the size of a sea bowl, like two giant shiny light bulbs. At night, the eyes of the long-haired demon are the same as the cat's eyes, and as long as there is strong light on it, it will shine as brightly as a mirror.
Xiao Ran felt a pang of fear at the shining eyes, and a chill crept up his spine, and he raised his sword.
The long-haired old demon looked at Xiao Ran for a moment, and then it snorted and walked over to the dead goat, and began to eat it in large gulps.
Xiaoran lowered his sword, and it successfully passed the test - it was not the hairy old demon that preyed on the Spirit Fox Clan. Xiao Ran quickly hid behind the "Sword Fortress" again.
A goat is not enough for the long-haired old goblin, but they are social monsters and must share their prey with their own kind when they find it. When the hairy old demon had satisfied his appetite a little, he stopped eating. Raise your hair and let out the roar of the meal, which is to tell the companions within miles: here is dinner.
After a while, the long-haired old demons appeared from the bushes, a total of five, and divided the remaining goats at once.
But the last long-haired old demon did not join the ranks of sharing the goat meat. It looked different from the other hairy elves - it was clearly not one of them. The hairy old demon had some black and red hair, instead of the usual black, and was much larger. It crouched aside, staring at where it was hiding.
Although the goat had not eaten at all, judging from the saliva coming out of the corner of its mouth, it was clearly very hungry.
After a while, it stood up and slowly walked towards the sword bushes.
"It seems that this is it!" Xiao Ran has already made up his mind, even if he is expelled from the Cloud Gate because of the use of mana, he will eliminate the harm for the people today!
