Chapter 39: The Hunter and the Prey
Li Mu only felt that his whole body was burning as if he was being burned by fire, his internal organs had been shaken and displaced, and the tidal wave of pain made his consciousness on the verge of dissipation.
"I didn't expect to be beaten so badly after wearing the thorn armor, this is still a first-level demon beast, I really don't dare to imagine what kind of strength a high-level demon beast will have, wake up, wake up, Li Mu, you can't just admit defeat!"
Li Mu gritted his teeth in his consciousness, constantly trying to stay awake, because he knew that if he gave up resistance at this time, it was very likely that he would never wake up again.
Just as Li Mu's battle with himself entered the white-hot stage, a blue-green energy suddenly appeared, flowing along his meridians to his whole body, and the pain of being burned by the fire slowly alleviated under the washing of this strange energy, and finally disappeared completely.
"Saved, this power is very curious, it contains such a strong vitality, I think it was Xiaoyu who gave me some healing pills. ”
Li Mu's consciousness began to stabilize after the pain subsided, and this sudden strange energy dragged him back from the ghost gate like timely rain.
On the stone platform, the girl's body was soaked with sweat, her delicate face was bloodless at this time, her eyes were closed, and her expression was painful, but even so, she was still running the healing exercises, and constantly injecting her vitality into the body of the young man in her arms, if I need to hand over my life to protect you, then I will not hesitate, this is the simple thought in Nie Xiaoyu's heart at this time.
I don't know how long it took, the young man's originally rapid breathing in his arms finally began to become stable, and the hot body slowly returned to normal, the girl breathed a long sigh of relief, and after giving Li Mu two pills, she stopped the input of vitality and quietly waited for the young man to wake up.
"Water ......"
I don't know how long it took, but night had completely fallen, and a murmur so light that it was almost inaudible made Xiaoyu, who was breathing, suddenly open her eyes.
"Brother Mu, are you awake? Great, come, drink water." ”
Taking the bamboo water kettle handed over by Xiaoyu, Li Mu gulped it down, the cool spring water flowing through his throat, and the burning sensation was replaced by indescribable comfort.
"Whew, comfortable, Xiaoyu, how long have I been unconscious, where is this?"
At this time, Li Mu had recovered most of his injuries with the help of pills and light rain healing exercises, although there was still some faint pain in his chest, but there was no major problem, he slowly sat up, looked around, and found that it was a unique hiding place.
Li Mu didn't say thank you to the pale-faced girl next to her, the so-called great grace is not thankful, not to mention the life-saving grace, if there was no girl's response before, he would not have had the opportunity to fight back against the storm wolf, even if he succeeded, if there was no girl who moved herself to a safe place, and then fed the pill and helped heal, I am afraid that most of them would have been killed.
Looking at the tiredness and happiness in the girl's eyes, an urge to protect her kept surging in Li Mu's heart.
"How can I Li Mu He De, be saved by such a good girl, Xiaoyu, from now on, I will be your protector, whoever wants to hurt you must first step over my corpse. ”
Secretly silently thought in his heart, Li Mu had already regarded the girl as the object to cherish and protect in his life.
"The Storm Wolf was directly pierced through the head by the sword qi and died, is this something that the Half-Step Jie Dan Realm can do?
The man in the black cloak crouched beside the corpse of the storm wolf and carefully observed the wounds, and the shocking traces of battle around him all proved that the storm wolf had firmly gained the upper hand, but what made the target who had been passively beaten be able to kill the storm wolf in an instant?
The man's mind was even more confused, and he realized that the information about the target seemed to be wrong.
"The bloodstains disappeared quickly here, it seems that at least one of the two is a monk with healing powers, and there is only one person's footprint from beginning to end, indicating that the other has lost his ability to move, you are very careful, constantly erasing the traces, but unfortunately you are still inexperienced, and some things are not visible to the naked eye. ”
I saw the man with the bad-word token on his waist take out a wooden box from his arms, slowly open it, and a dark golden strange insect flapped its wings and flew out.
Tracer insects, rare exotic insects, can track the target through the slightest smell, once the breath is locked, no matter the ends of the world will be relentless, this kind of insect is fierce by nature, it is extremely difficult to raise and domesticate, and it takes a special method to be fully controlled.
The tracer insect swayed and flew to a piece of broken fabric in the man's hand, it was the corner of Li Mu's robe that was punctured when he fought with the storm wolf, as his body flashed and dimmed, this insect finally locked on to the target's breath, and then shot out in an instant, flying in one direction.
"I found you, I hope you don't disappoint me too much, and do your duty as a prey. ”
The moon above the Black Dragon Mountain Range was exceptionally round today, illuminating half of the man's face, and the terrifying scars were dense all over it, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised at this time, and the smile was terrifying.
"Xiaoyu, I'm almost recovered, how are you?"
After running the Great Zhou Tian's Innate Recipe for a while, Li Mu had completely straightened out the original disordered aura in his body, and his strength had also recovered to ninety percent.
"Brother Mu, I'm fine, fortunately, with your Golden Crow Qi Replenishing Pill, I've recovered to my peak state. ”
Xiaoyu tied the leather whip around her waist again, stood up and slapped her skirt, indicating to Li Mu that she could start again.
"Well, let's go quickly, let's go back to the post station first, I always feel that something is wrong, it stands to reason that the storm wolf should not appear in the outer area of this mountain range, I suspect that we are being targeted by someone with a heart. ”
The sense of crisis that Li Mu has cultivated in online games for many years reminded him at this time that the attack of the storm wolf is definitely not so simple, and now maybe there is a pair of eyes chasing him tightly, he and Xiaoyu are like prey in this dense forest at this time, and the hunter is waiting for an opportunity in the shadows.
The two reached a consensus, and without further words, they left at full speed in the direction of the post station outside the mountain range.
After about half a pillar of incense, a black figure landed on the rock, it was the mysterious bloody camp killer called the beast armor.
"Hmm? I went in the direction of the mountain, did you notice it? I wanted to ambush it, but it seems that there is no way, we must fight quickly, and it will be a little difficult to do it when we get to the outside of the mountain, if you let these two little dolls go, the boss may kill me, no, he will definitely kill me." ”
The expression on the beast's face began to become hideous, and he took out a black jade bottle from his sleeve, hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and threw it to the ground, and as the jade bottle was shattered, a thumb-sized rat demon beast appeared in front of him.
With short red hair and a pair of blood-red eyes, the rat demon who was thrown to the ground immediately entered a state of rage, and pounced directly towards the right hand stretched out by the beast armor.
"Squeak ......"
With a muffled snort, the beast armor's right hand was bitten fiercely by the rat demon, and then the demon beast's body deflated at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the blood-red eyes also became dim, and finally ran out of life and fell to the ground.
"Ahh
At this time, the beast armor covered his right hand and let out a violent scream, and the green tendons began to spread from his right hand, until the whole body, and a manic aura rose up.
Panting, he finally got used to the sharp pain all over his body, and when he looked up, his eyes became as blood-red as the little mouse.
"Come on, it's time to hunt. ”
With one step, the beast armor shot out at an astonishing speed in the direction where the tracer flew away, and the surging and majestic momentum was no longer concealed, and the rich killing intent made the grass and trees in the place where it passed all shatter.
And Li Mu, who was also running with all his might in the distance, also felt this undisguised momentum, and suddenly looked back at the rear.
