Chapter 1174: Tracking
Out of Cloud Swallowing City, Lin Yue suddenly became dazed, looked at Tie Ruhua with a pleading gaze, and asked, "Sister Ruhua, where should we go next?"
Tie Ruhua spread her hands helplessly and said, "You just went on the road without thinking about it, and now you came to ask me?"
"Yes, yes, who called you more experienced?" Lin Yue began to be coquettish.
"Okay, first of all, I'll give you and Zhan Chen a map each, you must know that on this Taihao Star, if there is no map, it will be difficult to move an inch. ”
Zhan Chen couldn't help but nodded, it was true, this planet was full of windy sand, and if it was too far away, it would be difficult to find the right way home.
Lin Yue said: "The Cloud Swallowing Storm around our Cloud Swallowing City is so obvious, I can see it at once, do you still need a map?"
"Of course, this time we're going to a farther place, and it's quite easy to get lost without a map. Sister Lin Yue, you rely on me too much, now as a bounty hunter, you have to gradually learn to rely on yourself, I have been wandering around for so many years and have realized a truth, sometimes you can only believe in yourself in this world. ”
Lin Yue was confused, but she still nodded.
Tie Ruhua sighed, she took out two jade slips and handed them to Zhan Chen and Lin Yue respectively, and said: "These two maps are all the places I know, I have been wandering around all these years, and every time I go to a new place, I will add its terrain and landforms and active star beasts to it, and I have this map over time, and I will hand it over to you now, I hope they will also be helpful to your future adventures." ”
Zhan Chen took the jade slip and felt that it was very heavy, and this jade slip was undoubtedly a precious gift.
Tie Ruhua continued: "Most of the places on Taihao Star do not have place names, and the place names on this map are all named by me at random, and now the place we are going to is a place called Qianfeng Ridge on the map. ”
Zhan Chen hurriedly began to check the map, and found that this Thousand Peaks Ridge was located in the southeast of Swallowing Cloud City, nearly one hundred and fifty-three thousand miles away from Swallowing Cloud City, and three giant cities had to pass through in the middle.
"One hundred and fifty thousand miles! I've only been to a place at most 100,000 miles away from Cloud Swallowing City. Lin Yue sighed.
"Hmph, do you know now? If I leave you alone, you're going to get lost. Tie Ruhua said.
"But I'm still a little excited, it's going to be so far away, it must be interesting!" Lin Yue began to be confident about this journey again.
Zhan Chen said: "Sister Ruhua, it's a long way to Qianfengling, let's hurry up and get on the road." ”
"Yes, we're going to get back quickly. Tie Ruhua said.
The three of them walked together and marched in the direction of Qianfeng Ridge. It took more than half a month to walk, and it took them half a month before they arrived at their destination.
Qianfeng Ridge is a huge mountain range, composed of more than 1,300 peaks of all sizes, the highest is as high as 10,000 meters, the lowest is less than 1,000 meters, and all of them are covered by silver ash trees and trees.
It is precisely because of the high mountains and dense forests here that it has become the habitat of many star beasts and a paradise for adventurers, so when they reached the edge of the woods, they heard the roar and roar of wild beasts faintly coming from the distant mountain peaks.
Tie Ruhua turned her head and said solemnly to Lin Yue and Zhan Chen: "Sister Lin Yue, Zhan Chen, I hope you know what kind of place we are going to, there are not only powerful star beasts, but also many bounty hunters who have come here in search of opportunities, there are dangers buried everywhere, we must be careful. ”
Tie Ruhua's words were mainly said to Lin Yue, Zhan Chen was just an outsider to her, but Lin Yue, who was not deeply involved in the world, was like her own sister.
Zhan Chen listened to this, in fact, his experience was several times richer than that of Tie Ruhua, but he looked at Lin Yue with a casual look, obviously he didn't take Tie Ruhua's words seriously.
"Okay, let's go. Tie Ruhua said.
She has the most experience and the highest cultivation, and has already become the leader of the three-person team.
They made their swift weave through the trees, and soon they reached the mountains, where the mountains and tall silver-ash trees kept out the bitter cold wind, and silenced the surroundings.
However, in this silence lurks a danger, and many lurking hunters are waiting for the prey that passes by.
Zhan Chen and the others expanded their divine senses, carefully probing everything around them, and moving forward cautiously.
Suddenly, Tie Ruhua made a move, she took out a spear and stabbed it out, its speed was as fast as lightning, and Zhan Chen didn't see how she made a move at all.
I saw a cold light, a painful roar came from the grass opposite, and then a huge centipede two meters long came out, but it died after not taking a few steps, and Zhan Chen noticed that there were no wounds on its entire body, except for a blood hole about one centimeter in diameter on its head, which was obviously the "masterpiece" of Tie Ruhua.
His gaze condensed slightly, and he looked at the woman who looked like a man again, there was a trace of awe in his eyes, this shot seemed ordinary, but it reflected the extraordinary strength of Tie Ruhua, the strength of the strong person in the crosshair realm was extremely great, and every blow was earth-shattering, but she was able to collect the huge power in one click, so there was such a powerful penetrating force.
Lin Yue was taken aback when she saw the centipede, and shouted, "This is the giant sickle centipede, why didn't I notice it before?"
Tie Ruhua glanced at her and said, "Sister Lin Yue, your attention is focused on the surroundings but you don't notice the underground. Although this giant scythe centipede is a one-star beast, it has a strength that can be compared to a four-star quasi-star realm powerhouse, and its poison is even more powerful, and if a strong person below the earth star realm is bitten by it, he will immediately lose his combat ability. ”
Hearing her words, Zhan Chen couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, he didn't find the existence of this giant sickle centipede just now, and he had to admire Tie Ruhua's carefulness and prudence here.
Tie Ruhua said, "Everyone pay attention to their feet and surroundings, some star beasts are very cunning, they will lurk in the grass and even underground, and launch a surprise attack on us at any time. ”
After her reminder, Zhan Chen and Lin Yue both paid more attention, and then they eliminated more than a dozen one-star beasts, most of which were waiting for an opportunity to sneak attack them and the like snakes and insects. However, on the whole, there was no danger, because they were still active on the periphery of the Thousand Peaks Ridge, so they did not encounter much danger.
The three of them walked around the mountains for three days but found nothing, Lin Yue couldn't help but be a little anxious, and asked, "Sister Ruhua, when can we find the Snow Wolf King Spider?"
Tie Ruhua glanced at her and said, "What, are you in a hurry? It's only been three days." ”
"It's been three days, and we haven't even seen the shadow of the Snow Wolf King Spider, do you think I won't be in a hurry?
Tie Ruhua said in a deep voice: "Sister Ruyue, you are too anxious, do you think that Xingshi is so easy to earn? Sometimes bounty hunters often spend years trying to complete a task. The Snow Wolf King Spider doesn't jump in front of us on its own to let us kill, it likes to lurk in the caves of Thousand Peaks, which requires us to find their old nest. ”
Lin Yue pouted and said, "This is too difficult, there are thousands of mountains in this Thousand Peaks Ridge, and the size of each mountain is even more innumerable, if we search for the past one by one, I'm afraid it will take decades to find it all." ”
Tie Ruhua smiled confidently and said, "I have a way, it doesn't take a few years, maybe a few days will be enough?"
"Sister Ruhua, don't sell it anymore, tell us!"
"Well, although the Snow Wolf King Spider will not run out of the burrow easily, the snow tarantulas it gives birth to are different, they will often run out to feed, and if we find them, we can roughly determine the location of their nest, so that we can save a lot of effort. ”
"It turns out that it can still be like this, then let's find the snow tarantula quickly!" Lin Yue suddenly realized.
Tie Ruhua glared at her and said, "Haven't we been looking for it all these days?"
Zhan Chen said on the side: "However, in the vast forest, finding a specific star beast is still like looking for a needle in a haystack, and we will also encounter other star beasts, if we encounter them, it will inevitably be a fierce battle, it is not cost-effective." ”
Tie Ruhua said, "Although most of the star beasts lack soul strength, their sense of smell and hearing is very sensitive. So everyone has reined in their breaths, and try not to alarm them, otherwise it will not be good for our actions. ”
They wandered around the mountains for another three days, and their efforts paid off, and on this day they finally found a clue.
Tie Ruhua was the most experienced, and it was she who first discovered the target, a snow tarantula hiding in the grass, so she stopped and hurriedly beckoned Lin Yue and Zhan Chen to stop.
Lin Yue was still puzzled and asked, "What's wrong with Sister Ruhua?"
"Shhhhh
Zhan Chen fixed his eyes and saw that there seemed to be a demon beast hiding in a bush three thousand meters away, it was perfectly integrated with the surrounding environment, and if you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to detect the existence of the other party at all.
However, if you use your divine sense to probe carefully, you can still accurately detect the existence of the other party, this is a huge spider, its diameter is up to three meters, its whole body is snow-white, and it can fully blend with the surrounding silver ash trees and white grass, and there are sharp bristles on the surface of the body, which looks hideous. And this is the snow tarantula they have been looking for for these days.
Seeing the snow tarantula, Lin Yue immediately took out his sword and wanted to step forward to kill it, but was stopped by Tie Ruhua on the side, and asked, "Sister Lin Yue, what are you going to do?"
Lin Yue felt strange and said, "Of course I went up and killed it!"
"And then? We killed the snow tarantula and still couldn't find where their nest was. ”
Zhan Chen on the side immediately understood, and said, "Sister Ruhua, you want to put a long line to catch a big fish." ”
