Chapter 57: The Hunt Begins
“...... In this way, Lao Li killed his two elder brothers, forced his father to abdicate, and then became the emperor himself. Got it?"
Baili Yiming reacted for a long time before he realized what Shen Lu meant. was so frightened that he almost fell off the chair, and hurriedly said, "Brother-in-law, you can't talk nonsense." I just didn't show any ambition when I was a kid to live to this day. If my two bastard brothers heard your words, my little life would not be saved. ”
"Why are you so cowardly, there is no pursuit. ”
"I'm not the material to be an emperor, I just want to travel the world and see more of the world. The second is to cook and enjoy the pride of cooking your own food after hunting. If I really want to be an emperor, do you think you will meet me in the deep mountains and old forests last time?"
Shen Lu sighed, knowing that this idea would not work.
Although he is confident to help Baili Yiming win the throne, his character is the kind of idle clouds and wild cranes, and forcibly forcing him to be the emperor will hurt him.
Can he only choose one of his two older brothers to support?
Baili Yiming was afraid that Shen Lu would mention the matter of being the emperor again, so he deliberately diverted the topic and said: "What, brother-in-law, the poison in your body has not been cleared yet, this kind of physical condition to hunt the Wandering Cloud Beast may be dangerous." ”
"It's okay, I can't die. I'd rather deal with the beast with my injuries than get involved in this mess of your house. ”
......
Yangchu Peak and Yuegui Peak are two adjacent peaks. From a distance, they looked like a whole mountain, split into two mountains in the middle, with an extremely deep canyon in between.
The hunting party came to a high slope at the foot of the mountain, and looked up at the two peaks, and there was a sense of despair.
How do you find two mountains of this size?
There were less than 30 people in the hunting team this time. In addition to Shen Lu and Xu Wenrui, including Xu Ting, there are more than a dozen good players above Zhou Yingjing, as well as more than a dozen hunters with rich hunting experience.
"Uncle Liu, are these two mountains in front of you?" Xu Wenrui turned his head and asked.
A dark-skinned middle-aged uncle walked out and explained, "This is it. In the past, several of our brothers had found traces of the killing of alien beasts in Sunrise Peak and Yuegui Peak. These strange beasts around Zhou Yingjing are usually overlords in the mountains, but now they are suddenly killed, and they should have encountered more powerful Wandering Cloud Beasts. ”
Shen Lu asked, "But with such two big mountains, how can we find traces? Even if we find them, we can't besiege them, right?"
This is also a question that many people want to ask. It may not be too difficult to fight against the alien beasts, but the difficult thing is to hunt them down.
Even if the Wandering Cloud Beast was injured in its wings and could not fly, it was still a giant beast. If it wanted to escape, with more than 30 people such as Shen Lu, it would still not be able to trap it.
Uncle Liu pointed to the canyon between the peaks and said, "So we have to do everything we can to lure the Wandering Cloud Beast into this canyon." In this way, as long as we block the way in front and back, we can rely on the cliffs on both sides to trap it. If you fight directly in the woods, there is indeed a high chance that it will escape. ”
"Then how can we make sure that the Cloud Wandering Beast is on these two mountains? ”
"The purpose of the Cloud Wandering Beast is to heal the wounds, and it is only beneficial to recover from the injuries by hunting and killing the beasts with high mana all the time, and running around all the time will aggravate the injuries. In this vicinity, only these two mountains have more high-level alien beasts, so the Wandering Cloud Beast should not be too far away. ”
Shen Lu said with an open face: "Uncle Liu is really an experienced old hunter, and the younger generation has learned. ”
After some deliberation, it was decided that most of the people should stay in the canyon and set up traps, ready to face the Cloud Wandering Beast at any time.
And Shen Lu, Xu Wenrui and Xu Ting, with Uncle Liu and two hunters, these six people went to the mountains to find the traces of the Wandering Cloud Beast.
There is a great danger of scattering and searching, and there are not enough of them, so they simply act together with six people, so that if something happens, they can take care of each other.
The six of them walked through the mountainside of Yangchu Peak, and as Uncle Liu explored the surrounding traces, they soon discovered something unusual.
Uncle Liu came to a tree, pointed to a pile of broken branches on the tree, and said, "It's unusual for a branch of this height to be broken, and it is very likely that a tall and incomparably tall Cloud Wandering Beast can do it." Although there are no footprints around this place, you can vaguely see that the ground has been swept back and forth. This proves that the Wandering Cloud Beast is extremely intelligent and knows that someone is following it, so it covers its footprints by sweeping its tail. ”
Shen Lu was initially a little surprised that the high-level alien beast could be so smart, but he was relieved to think that the little clever ghost was also quite smart.
Following the traces of broken branches, everyone gradually walked into the depths of the mountain forest.
Xu Wenrui lifted the cocoa and let it smell in front of it.
Xu Ting on the side smiled when she saw this: "It's not a dog, can it really smell something?"
"Anyway, it's smarter than a human nose. ”
As soon as Xu Wenrui's words fell, Shen Lu suddenly sniffed and said to the left: "There's a smell of blood coming from there!"
"Don't make a fuss, I don't even smell it. Xu Wenrui looked incredulous.
At this time, Coco also sniffed to the left, and then meowed a few times.
Xu Wenrui laughed dryly, turned to Xu Ting and said, "I was wrong, maybe sometimes people's noses are smarter." ”
Xu Ting said: "I envy you, you have cats and dogs at home." ”
Shen Lu glared at the two of them and said, "Be serious, do the right thing." ”
The crowd held their breath and crouched forward, trying not to make any noise.
Following Shen Lu's command, everyone came to a haystack. Shen Lu gently opened the gap in the haystack and looked out, just staring at two fist-sized eyes.
Woo!
A low roar was heard, followed by the claws of the beast, like a small mountain, slapping down from the air.
"Found, run!"
Shen Lu roared, grabbed Uncle Liu's shoulder, and escaped with him.
Xu Wenrui and Xu Ting also took a hunter's shoulder and led them out of the danger zone.
Although the giant claw slammed into the air, it shook the surrounding ground. Weeds and clods of earth were blown everywhere, and many birds perched on trees were frightened away in the mountains and forests.
After a chaotic uproar, the Cloud Wandering Beast retracted its front paws, and then began to scan its surroundings in all directions with its two heads.
Shen Lu hid behind a tree, and he didn't dare to take a breath for fear of being discovered by it.
Good fellow, the Wandering Cloud Beast's entity is far more terrifying than in the painting. Aside from its lion-like appearance with two heads and wings, the mana around it was the most terrifying. For cultivators, as long as they get close to the Wandering Cloud Beast, they will receive the invisible suppression of this mana.
Feeling it up close, Shen Lu knew that the strength of this Cloud Wandering Beast should be around five levels in the Xiaocheng Realm, ten levels higher than himself! No wonder so many people had to be dispatched to hunt and kill it, this was really not a foreign beast that one person could fight.
[Hidden Quest Trigger: Heavy Damage to the Cloud Wandering Beast!] Time Limit: Today. Success Reward: Significant weapon evolution. Failure Penalty: None. 】
"Damn, this system is really playing with me!"
Shen Lu really didn't want to do this task, but the task reward was too tempting.
After so many times of fighting with people to the death, Shen Lu lost a lot of others in weapons. If you can complete this hidden mission this time, you can at least have a weapon at hand in the future, instead of having to fight hand-to-hand every time.
Forget it, die or die!
Shen Lu stood up from behind the tree, came to a wider place, and shouted at the Wandering Cloud Beast, "Hey, don't look for it, Lao Tzu is here." ”
Hearing the movement, the Wandering Cloud Beast turned its body violently, staring at Shen Lu with both heads and four eyes, revealing two sharp fangs.
It can be seen that there are obvious blood stains next to both of its mouths, and it seems that it has just eaten the alien beast, but it has not eaten enough.
Now Shen Lu's appearance happens to be his after-dinner dessert.
Shen Lu felt the mana pouring out of the Wandering Cloud Beast, and his original pride suddenly deflated more than half of his anger, swallowed his spit and said, "I'm sorry to disturb your meal, you continue." ”
As he spoke, he turned around and ran.
But the Cloud Wandering Beast didn't chase after it. It's not like any other beast that can be lured at will. Everything the Cloud Wandering Beast does now is premised on healing, and as long as it is not attacked, it will not take the initiative to attack.
Shen Lu ran a few steps and found that it was useless, and ran back again, and the super wandering cloud beast shouted, "Hey, you really didn't come to chase me?"
The Cloud Wandering Beast wagged its tail, then simply squatted on the ground, looking like it hadn't moved.
"Well, you'd better never move. Shen Lu muttered, a strange smile on the corner of his mouth.
Three arrows shot at the Cloud Wanderer from three directions at the same time, hitting the ground in front, to the left, and to the right of its body.
Each of the three arrows had about twenty charms stuck in them. At this moment, the spell detonated, and thick hemp ropes burst out of the void, flying towards the Cloud Wandering Beast.
In an instant, nearly sixty or seventy hemp ropes as thick as an arm wrapped around the body of the Wandering Cloud Beast.
These days, only one or two nets are needed to bind some tigers, lions and other beasts. Now these sixty or seventy are used together, and the effect is naturally extraordinary.
The Wandering Cloud Beast was wrapped in ropes, and although it was not immediately tied up and unable to move, it was unable to break free.
And in the process of breaking free, the hemp ropes became tighter and tighter with each other, and they also tied dead knots with each other. As long as the Wandering Cloud Beast struggled a little longer, it would gradually strangle to death by these ropes.
Naturally, it was the three hunters who shot the arrow. Although they are not very strong, they are extremely skilled in studying the habits of beasts, archery, and using charms.
The six of them regrouped, and they all felt a little relieved as they looked at the Cloud Wandering Beast that was constantly struggling in the distance.
So it's that simple, huh?
Uncle Liu said to the others: "Don't take it lightly yet. We'll attack with the Oil Charm and the Fire Charm to make sure nothing goes wrong. ”
The other two hunters looked at each other with something strange in their eyes. One said: "Okay, let's go to the fire talisman and the oil talisman." ”
As they spoke, they immediately walked in the direction of the Cloud Wandering Beast.
Uncle Liu reminded behind his back: "It's best not to get close, what is the habits of the Wandering Cloud Beast, we don't know anything, or it's safer to shoot arrows from a distance." Eh, stop, what are you doing?"
Who knew that Uncle Liu was talking behind his back, but instead of stopping, the two of them quickly ran towards the Wandering Cloud Beast, and drew their long knives one after another, intending to attack the Wandering Cloud Beast closely.
Killing the Wandering Cloud Beast is a great achievement, and if you can slaughter the Wandering Cloud Beast with your own hands, the reward you will get will far exceed that of others. The two hunters thought that they had won the game, so they wanted to take a step ahead of the credit for it.
However, at this moment, something unexpected happened.
