Faced with the fangs in the night, Xia Zuo instinctively used the "Pale Claw" to resist, and the pitch-black giant teeth left black marks on Xia Zuo's pale ghost claws, which failed to strike a single blow, and then melted into the dead darkness.

You must know that the teeth of the mid-level rune beast "Flame Tiger" can't bite through the defense of "Pale Claw".

Locke also reacted in time, and the fire burst into a line of fire and rushed towards the place where the black mass had escaped.

Xia Zuo continued to maintain the input of runic power, and the black marks of the "Pale Claw" gradually disappeared, only to realize that the black marks were not wounds but corrosion, which was the nature of the dark element.

"Be careful, Uncle Locke, this could be a runemon of the dark element. ”

The Dark Elemental's Runemon is usually as cunning and eerie as its runic skills.

Shadow...... Black Giant Fangs...... Dark Elemental ......

The rune technique did not break the defense of the "Pale Claw", and it should be a low-level rune beast.

Xia Zuo searched for runemons that met these conditions in his mind.

......

It's the Dire Serpent!

Xia Zuo quickly shared the information with Locke.

"Dire Serpent, a low-level rune beast, has two low-level runes "Latent" and "Corrosive Black Tooth", which are non-poisonous, but its runic skill "Corrosive Black Tooth" has a powerful dark elemental corrosiveness, and "Latent" allows it to lurk in the shadows and control weaker creatures than it. ”

"When the shadow is in its "shadow" state, it may be discovered because the actual state of the shadow is inconsistent with the shadow's supposed state. ”

As soon as Xia Zuo finished speaking, Locke pulled out two lit wooden sticks from the fire and threw one of them to Xia Zuo.

The two turned their backs to the fire and used their torches to close to their shadows, which were dispelled by the light of the flames, and there was no anomaly.

"It ...... the Dire Serpent, still around, it hides in the shadows until its prey relaxes, and if there is no absolute disparity in strength, it will not die. Xia Zo reminded Locke.

"I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing, I thought the worst would be a pack of wolves, which is why I walked close to the river, and those beasts didn't want to go into the water. Locke's brow furrowed, things had been more than he had expected, and Mount Cahill was far more dangerous than he had imagined.

"The Dire Serpent only hunts in the night, or we keep watch until dawn, and it is always in its mind. Either that...... Look for a chance to take it out. "Xia Zuo didn't expect to be in danger in his first encounter with a wild rune beast.

Locke was silent for a moment.

"There is danger during the day during the day, and it is not okay to be mentally stressed overnight. Can it swim?"

"I don't know. ”

"That'...... Lure the snake to the bait?"

"How?"

"Pretend to be asleep. You're in the state you're in just now, and the Dire Serpent is clearly coming for you. ”

"In a moment, you will do it first, and I will do it later. ”

"Dodge my Flame Blaster for a moment. ”

Xia Zuo remembered Uncle Locke's large fireball with a diameter of one meter, which could fly fifteen meters and explode.

"This ...... It's so close, you can't hide from it. ”

"I don't release it with all my might, just such a big fireball in my head. Locke said, gesturing at his head.

“...... Yes. ”

Xia Zuo lay down on the ground to meditate again, and Locke closed his eyes and held his breath.

Xia Zuo's spiritual power was released, constantly scanning the surroundings, under the light of the fire, every shadow that continued to distort with the firelight was like a hidden fang, always ready to choose someone to eat.

A cloud obscured the crimson moon in the night sky, and the fire grew brighter and brighter in the dark forest.

The crimson moon vanished, and shadows shrouded in shadows.

The fire is like a pure land floating in the dark, but it is precarious.

Beneath the shadows, the dark tide surges.

The blood-colored moonlight of the Crimson Moon fell again, and nothing happened.

The sound of fluttering wings was heard, and an owl flew by...... Under the light of the crimson moon, the shadow is imprinted on the ground.

......

"Shadow!" Xia Zuo yelled.

Locke's long-awaited "Flame Blast" suddenly struck, enveloping the shadows that flew across the ground.

The power of the runes in Xia Zuo's whole body exploded, and his right hand condensed the "Pale Claw" and charged a blow!

The power of the runes that enveloped his body resisted the bursting flames, and his right claw slashed towards the shadow in the center of the flames.

The feeling of cutting was really fed back to Xia Zuo.

Hit!

The infinite fire quickly dissipated, and a snake, covered in ink, broke into several knots, and the fading runes showed its extraordinaryness.

Runes of the Dark Element...... It is bright black.

It's really bright black, and this contradictory description in a previous life couldn't be more appropriate here.

Phew, a snake more than a meter long actually brought such a big danger, Xia Zuo felt that he had underestimated the rune beast.

The Dark Elemental Rune Beast is already weird, and the "Dire Serpent" has two low-level runes, and its strength is the most difficult among the low-level rune beasts.

However, his talent is clearly focused on attack and stealth, and his body is brittle like papier-mâché...... No stone hard as the school.

Xia Zuo went over and rummaged through the corpse of the Dire Serpent, and the Shulker rune had been damaged, but the Corrosive Black Tooth had been saved because it was in the head.

Xia Zuo quietly condensed the white mutilated ring in his hand, devoured the broken but not yet dissipated "Latent", and then used the "Blue Moon Dagger" to cut off the "Corrosive Black Tooth".

"Two low-level runes, one broken. ”

After Xia Zuo finished speaking, he threw the "Corrosive Black Tooth" to Uncle Locke.

"Okay, put it here for me, and then divide it when I go back. ”

Locke placed the rune in a cloth bag behind him and walked towards the corpse of the Dire Serpent.

Out of nowhere, he pulled out another knife, gouged out the teeth of the Dire Snake, and cut it a few more times.

"The snake gall is intact, it's really good. ”

Locke shook the snake fangs and snake gall in his hand at Xia Zuo.

"It's not just runes that are valuable, but it's a pity that the snakeskin is too broken. ”

“......”

"Sleep in peace, it's been a long day, and the rest of the night will be half a person. ”

......

The night passed peacefully.

Breakfast was snake meat, and it tasted good, but Xia Zuo kept muttering that this was not game, this was a rune beast......

"Uncle Locke, do you want to go to the depths?"

Locke looked in along the river, frowning.

"I haven't been further afield, but it was before, and now it is, so you can give it a try. ”

"That ......"

Before Xia Zuo could finish speaking, a huge fireball flew over.

"Wolves, jump into the river!"

Fortunately, not far from the river, Xia Zuo and Locke jumped directly into the water, and the fireball bombarded the river, and a large amount of water was evaporated, causing bursts of white mist on the surface of the river.

Xia Zuo held his breath and hid underwater, the fireball bombarded the surface of the water with great pomp, but he couldn't even feel the change in temperature below half a meter above the surface of the water, Locke suddenly grabbed his arm and motioned for him to swim to the opposite shore upstream.

Sure enough, the fire wolves closed their huge mouths full of flames, and they couldn't shoot and didn't want to cross the river, so they could only go away.

Xia Zuo gave another thumbs up to the experienced Locke in his heart.
