Chapter 11 The Beast Hunter
At the right time, Sha Li woke up from his meditation.
"The vitality is getting stronger and stronger, but it still can't reach the realm of Kaiyuan, and it seems that it is difficult to improve just by meditating. ”
Sha Li sat on the futon and muttered to himself.
Immediately afterward, he made a strange move. With both hands together, except for the left and right thumbs, the index fingers are stretched out against each other, and the rest of the fingers are crossed and clenched.
Soon after, the left and right index fingers, which were clinging to each other, lit up with a faint white light. Then, the white light gradually became rich and dazzling.
"Poof!"
As Sha Li's hands shook, the rattling screen left a thumb-sized hole.
Sha Li withdrew his gaze from the small hole in the screen window and landed on the index fingers of his hands that were closed.
"Kaifeng Sect's trick of 'bullet without missing hair' has been preliminarily practiced. It's a pity that I'm not skilled enough to use the vitality, otherwise I could have done it with a single finger. ”
Sha Li was ashamed in his heart of the power of his move, and after practicing for two days, he still couldn't satisfy himself. In fact, he didn't know that Kai Feng, who taught him this Yuan technique, had only taken half a month to initially learn, and it was after stepping into the Kaiyuan Realm.
"Shali, it's time for us to go. ”
Triumphant's voice sounded outside the screen window.
Sha Li opened the door and saw the familiar pretty face. The difference is that tonight's Kaifeng changed into a black gauze skirt, which made Sha Li's gaze obviously stagnant.
"After all, it's night, so it's safer to change your clothes. ”
Feeling Sha Li's strange gaze, Kaifeng didn't think much about it before explaining. As soon as the words came out, she regretted it a little, and he didn't ask why he said so much.
"Oh. That one...... Where's the Where's the Hunt?"
Sha Li touched the tip of his nose.
"He's already in the lead, and we'll meet him at the appointed place. Let's go. ”
In order to take care of Sha Li, Kaifeng did not rush with all his might, and at first he only traveled at a speed of 20%. If half a month ago, Sha Li would definitely not even be able to see her shadow, but at this moment, Sha Li is walking with her.
Kaifeng was playful, gradually increased his speed, and slowly increased to three percent, so that he could open a significant distance from it.
"This stupid melon, although he has not yet broken into Kaiyuan, but his vitality is so strong, he is really a freak. ”
Although the volume of the Yuan Qi can be preliminarily judged by the cultivation level of the Yuan, the specific amount can only be roughly estimated depending on the action or battle.
"Kaifeng, how do you know that Qi Gu will appear tonight?"
As Kaifeng's feet slowed down, Sha Li quickly caught up.
"Most of the sea beasts around Qiyuan Island are amphibious on land and water, and this evil beast is naturally no exception. ”
"Although the island guards on the island go out on night patrol every day, Qiyuan Island is not small after all, and the evil beast will take advantage of it at the slightest gap. ”
"The beast has come ashore from the sea three times recently to hunt the islanders, almost every three or four days. ”
There is no concept of how big Qiyuan Island is. But he had heard Xue Qi say that if the mortals on the island walked with all their might, it would take them two full days to cross the entire island from south to north without eating or drinking.
"Well, we may not be able to meet it tonight. ”
"That's true. But we still need to try, and we really can't do it, so we'll have to wait for the beast there. ”
Kaifeng didn't seem worried.
About half an hour later, Sha Li and the others had arrived at the agreed place and saw Zhi Yu.
"Hasn't the beast come ashore yet?"
As soon as Kaifeng saw him, he opened his mouth to ask about Qi Gu's whereabouts.
"I've been waiting here for an hour, not feeling its breath. ”
Zhi Yu also looked depressed.
"Then let's keep waiting, anyway, we'll spend it tonight. ”
Kaifeng didn't seem to be in a hurry.
"Maybe it won't take too long, but it's expected to be at the right time, and the last time it will appear will be at the right time. ”
"Sha Li, why don't you speak? Could it be that you are really scared?"
Kaifeng nodded slightly after listening to Zhi Yu's words, and saw that Sha Li had been silent, so he began to make fun of him.
"Not really. I wondered, this beast came ashore from the sea to eat people, and the island guards here never caught it?
Sha Lijian's eyebrows twisted slightly.
Kai Feng and Zhi Yu glanced at each other, obviously not expecting Sha Li to ask such a question.
"Brother Sha, you're right. When the beast went to the island for the second time to kill people, it was bumped into by the island guards on patrol, and the two sides also fought. As a result, the two island defenders were defeated and were not lightly injured. ”
Zhi Yu paused.
Subsequently, the detachment of this defense area organized the island guards to conduct a hunt. But the beast seemed to be unusually sensitive, and did not appear dead or alive. However, as soon as the hunt was temporarily canceled, the beast immediately went ashore to kill people. ”
"Then, the Island Guard Detachment will no longer be in charge?"
Sha Li asked again.
"It's to be managed, but the strength of the evil beast should not be underestimated, and the island guards with low cultivation don't dare to catch it alone. Once again, I organized a large-scale combat force, but I was worried that I would return empty-handed like last time, so I simply gave up. ”
Isn't it the duty of the island guards to kill that beast and keep the islanders safe?"
Sha Li was visibly skeptical.
"Not really. Today I met with the detachment leader of this district, and he told me that from today onwards, a reward will be offered for the capture of that evil beast, and any islander can take action except for the island guard, whether they live or die. ”
After hearing this, Sha Li lowered his head and pondered.
"I still have a question, why don't the captains and above shoot directly, isn't this solved quickly?"
"This ......"
Zhi Yu seemed to be a little tangled.
"Because at present, it is only the mortals on the island who are suffering from the poisonous claws. ”
Kai Feng's tone was a little heavy.
"I see. ”
Sha Li muttered in his mouth.
"Shhhh ”
Kaifeng suddenly became alert. She cultivates the water system of vitality, and the range of perception is already wider than that of other systems, especially the perception of movement in the water.
"Could it be that we really touched it?"
Although there were doubts in his tone, it was difficult to hide his expectation.
Since the three of them were standing on a thick branch of the banyan tree at this moment, Sha Li Ning Yuan gathered in their eyes, and by the moonlight, this coast was in full view.
"Hey, it's so cunning, it seems to have stopped, and its breath has become much weaker. ”
Kai Feng sneered as he spoke.
"If he hadn't been cunning, he would have been caught. ”
Zhi Yu also thinks so.
"Breathe down, don't disturb it. ”
The three of them quickly did their best to restrain their entire body breath.
After a few breaths, the sea surged, and a huge human face poked out.
Sha Li looked at it and realized that it was actually a beast head with a human face, and three black curved horns grew on the back of its head. The huge beast's head swayed from side to side on the surface of the sea, and after confirming that there was no threat, it slowly moved towards the sand.
In the end, its entire beast body also appeared in the sight of the three of them. The huge red beast body was also dazzling in the moonlight, and the body of a cow was slowly moving forward with four horses' hooves. From time to time, he looked around, looking vigilant about to dive back into the sea at any moment.
Suddenly, the beast Qi Gu stopped, and its huge head leaned forward, as if sniffing something. It stood still for a few breaths, then slowly walked east.
The three of them looked at it lightly lifting its four hooves, and they all looked dumb as if they didn't want to make any movement.
"Could it be that it found us?"
Zhi Yu couldn't hold back at first.
"It stands to reason that it can't find you and me, maybe ......"
Kaifeng looked at Sha Li.
"Maybe I sensed the breath of Shali. ”
After all, Sha Li has not really stepped into the Kaiyuan realm, so he is not a yuan, and since he has not been cultivating the yuan for a long time, his control of the yuan qi is not as good as the two of them.
"Even so, Sha Li has such a weak vitality, there is no reason for this evil beast to hide!"
Zhi Yu was puzzled.
"I guess he wanted to hide and wait for me to show up. ”
A glimmer of light flashed in Sha Li's dark eyes.
Sure enough, just as Sha Li thought, the evil beast was hiding in the east, under another thorn banyan tree not far from them, where the moonlight could not shine.
"What does he want to do? Even if it hides, Sha Li may not show up, it just waits?"
Chen Yu was puzzled, but Kaifeng and Sha Li were interested in the beast.
Just as the words of Zhi Yu fell, a voice floated intermittently towards the three of them.
"Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow......"
"Listen, it's like, baby's cry!"
Kaifeng quickly recognized it.
"How can there be babies around here, shouldn't they!"
Zhi Yu was confused.
"No, it's Qi Gu. You've forgotten how the beast booby-trapped the islanders. ”
Kaifeng's face was unquestionable.
"I'll go. It must be me who it wants to trap. ”
Shali didn't think much about it before making a decision. Just as he was about to leave, a slightly cool hand was lightly clasped on the back of his left hand.
Looking at Kaifeng's starry eyes and feeling the worry in his eyes, Sha Li smiled kindly.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine. Besides, you and Zhi are not going to let me have an accident, are we?"
After hearing Sha Li's words, the worry in Kai Feng's eyes seemed to have eased a lot. She let go of Sha Li's hand, wanting to confirm the surprise attack plan with Zhi Yu.
"Ah, beast, give me death!"
A piercing scream pierced the silence of the beach and the three of them's surprise attack plan.
The three of them hurriedly looked intently. But under a thorn banyan tree between them and Qi Gu, a figure rushed out, which seemed to be a man.
A fishing fork longer than its body was held tightly on the right side of its body with both hands, and the tip of the hook was slightly tilted upward. Although the speed of the figure is not as fast as that of Kaifeng and the three of them, it is not slow, and it is far from comparable to that of ordinary people.
Qi Gu, who had been hiding under the banyan tree, also leaned out, facing the rushing human, raised his right hoof, and tried to slap the head of the human smaller than its hoof into meat sauce.
"Stupid, get out of the way!"
He exclaimed in a low voice.
The man did not dodge, but continued to rush forward against Qigu's huge hooves.
Just as the hoof was about to make intimate contact with his head, he didn't know what to do, but he quickly leaned back, and the back of his body was almost attached to the sand.
Relying on this dangerous move, he finally narrowly avoided the originally deadly beast's hooves, and slid into Qi Gu's lower abdomen, as if he had known that Qi Gu would attack him like this.
"It's dangerous, it's lucky, this guy. Wait, what is he going to do!"
His eyes widened. At this moment, the figure that attacked Qigu was stabbing the fishing fork in his hand into the lower abdomen of the evil beast.
"It's completely over now, just the broken fishing fork, and even the skin of Qi Gu can't be broken. ”
"Roar!"
A roar of pain and anger shook the hearing of everyone present, and his mouth opened exaggeratedly.
"Is that okay?"
In the midst of the beast's painful roar, the man immediately rolled to the sand, left the beast's belly, and sat up quickly.
However, he didn't get up and flee, I don't know if it was because the attack drained his strength, or because the fear awakened after Fearless made it difficult for him to move.
"It's not good, run away!"
Sha Li rushed ahead before he could speak, but Kaifeng was faster than him, and Zhi Feng was also in hot pursuit.
Sure enough, the furious beast immediately began to retaliate. Ignoring the fishing fork stuck in its lower abdomen, it swung its huge hooves again, as if it contained a huge amount of force, trying to instantly crush the food that had angered it into meat sauce.
After all, food has to be chewed when you eat it.
The man who attacked him seemed to be completely unable to move at this moment, and had to close his eyes and wait for death.
But after he waited for two breaths, but did not feel the giant hoof falling, he slowly opened his eyes.
It turned out that the huge hoof had stopped in mid-air, only an inch above his head, but it could not fall in any way. If you look closely, a light blue film of water lies between you and the giant hoof, like a dream in the moonlight.
Then, he was suddenly picked up and left in an instant.
"Sha Li, take him farther away!
Just as Sha Li was holding the man and walking away from the battlefield quickly, he subconsciously turned around and saw a picture that surprised him.
A huge fist, facing the moonlight, smashed into the beast.
