Chapter 21: The Stalker
Qingying was dumbfounded, and glanced at Huo Yue with some confusion.
Huo Yue smiled, "Do you think it's so difficult for them to fight a beast of the same level? The three of them, it is indeed easy to deal with a beast of the fifth layer of the Wuyuan Realm, but we put safety first.
"In the forest, safety encompasses every aspect.
"First of all, they can't go all out, remember the last time we encountered the remote silk spider? Because of the mistake, we didn't have any combat effectiveness for several days. Will you, in order to protect us, do your best?
"No, it won't. The forest is far more dangerous than you can imagine.
"We're on the periphery, and it's a good thing I found a hiding place before I fell unconscious, otherwise with the power of the beast, it would have been easy to find us.
"Now, they're so time-consuming, but they're not working hard.
"Why, don't you understand?
"That's right, each of them has the ability to fight with Ghost Hand Song and even kill, but after that, they will have a vacuum period, during which they will have no combat effectiveness.
"As a third-order and near-fourth-order alien beast, Ghost Hand Song will not have any means, at least it is not a problem to drag a person seriously injured before dying. Who will have time to take care of the wounded after that?
"Three people, it seems to be overkill, but the cost is evenly divided, each of them looks tired, but it only takes an hour to recover, and the price is much smaller than a serious injury. ”
Qingying silently looked at Huo Yue, who was groping on Ghost Tematsu, and fell into deep thought.
Now he is not an elemental master who doesn't understand anything, and he can more or less guess some of the battles in the elemental world, so as soon as Huo Yue reminded him, Qingying thought of many things, and what he had to do now was to connect these things.
"Tut-tut. ”
Huo Yue let out a sigh of admiration, holding a black spar in his hand, Qingying knew that it was the Beast Soul Crystal, so it seemed that the Ghost Hand Pine should be a strange beast of the dark element.
Alien beasts can appear with any element, not like the rarity of the main elements in the elementalists.
If the beast has no element, the beast soul crystal is milky white, which is said to be the initial color of chaos.
The milky white beast soul crystal is extremely precious, because it is not disturbed by the rest of the elements, so the star soul contained in it is extremely pure and can be directly absorbed by the elementals, but as a foreign beast living in the elemental realm, it is too difficult to not be disturbed by the elements at all.
Qingying Void Consciousness is contained, carefully observing the elemental crystal, the elemental crystal and the beast soul crystal are actually not much different, the reason for the difference is only that the beast soul crystal can be materialized and can be touched after the alien beast is killed, and the elemental crystal of the elemental master will disappear by itself after the death of the elemental master. It can't be said to disappear, but it is assimilated by the elements of heaven and earth.
I don't know if this is a good thing, at least there won't be a phenomenon of indiscriminate killing elementals in order to improve cultivation.
Qingying pondered, Huo Yue had already packed everything, beckoned to Qingying, and continued to hurry.
Qingying's footsteps suddenly paused, as if he remembered something, looking at the back of Huo Yue leaving, Qingying wanted to stop Huo Yue to discuss some things, hesitated for a moment, Qingying sighed, and hurriedly caught up.
On the road after that, although there were still some obstacles, it was generally quite easy, at least there were no third-order beasts like the Ghost Hand Pine.
Some first-order and second-order alien beasts, they are too lazy to kill, this level of alien beasts, the probability of producing beast soul crystals is almost zero, after they are idle, the anger in their hearts is not as heavy as before, and they are directly avoided when they encounter low-level alien beasts.
Along the way, Qingying can sometimes feel that someone is following, but unfortunately it is only a vague feeling, and without confirmation, it is difficult for him to say.
However, Huo Yue should have noticed something wrong, after all, Huo Yue's strength was there, and he was still a water elemental, and his perception was several times stronger than that of Qingying, and it was not impossible to find some subtle changes under careful observation.
Qingying also corrected her mentality, doing what she had to do in obscurity, trying her best to reduce her sense of existence.
To be able to track to this point, the strength of the tracker must not be too bad, and the current cultivation of Qingying is completely inferior to the meat shield, and it is basically not an exaggeration to be able to be dropped by a high-level elemental master in a second.
All the way silently, two hours later, Huo Yue waved his hand, and several people stopped by a river to rest, and replenished fresh water by the way.
After Qingying fetches water, he looks around and understands why Huo Yue stayed here.
The river is nameless, but there are countless demon hunters on missions, and if you want to travel far, you naturally need to replenish the water source.
The water here is clear, and the surrounding beasts should be cleaned up by the passing team, also so that the later team can have a place to relax.
There is a stone monument on one side of the river, the stone monument is full of wind and frost, and there is the word demon hunting on it, and if you look closely, you can find that these two words have been filled in I don't know how many times.
When Qingying was observing carefully, his eyes suddenly froze, and he closed his eyes for a moment, and after not noticing that someone was looking at this side, Qingying was holding on to the stone tablet with one hand, as if he was sighing something.
After a few moments, Huo Yue greeted him, and several people set out on their way again.
Before leaving, Qingying's fingers deftly danced, and he took out an elemental stone from a hidden gap in the stone tablet. Before the elemental stone could see the sun, it had already been put into the sleeve of the green shadow.
At the moment of putting away the elemental stone, Qingying paused slightly, and then quietly followed Huo Yue.
Elemental stones can transmit messages in some cases, but they are not stored for a long time, and as long as there are elementals with high cultivation level to carefully probe them, it is easy to know the information in them, so few people use this way of transmitting messages.
As a common currency in the elemental world, elemental stones are used for a variety of purposes.
The message Qingying received was a piece of speech, and according to the clarity of the speech, Qingying estimated that the message would not take more than two days to put down.
"The Flowing Dragon Squad pays close attention, the War Dragon Squad has a backlash, I am afraid that something may happen to you, we will complete the task in a few days, and will go to the place where you are waiting for the task at full speed, and help when necessary. A thousand clouds. ”
Qingying's eyes flickered, and he didn't tell Huo Yue about it immediately, because at the moment of leaving, the vague feeling of being watched resurfaced in his heart, Qingying didn't want to be noticed by the people behind, and it was not good for Huo Yue to know now.
Even with a slight change in expression, Qingying himself can judge many things, not to mention that the stalker behind is an expert in this area.
Moreover, it was already very close to the territory of the fourth-order wind thunder wolf, and he didn't believe that the same elite team would be able to wipe out the Flowing Dragon team.
What's more--a thousand uniques-but a saint-level squad-
For the unknown, Qingying has always held an attitude of awe, for nature, or the world, he doesn't know if there is a human who can fight against it, if there is, it should not be him.
Awe at all times can make him sober and remind himself that he is still very weak.
Two days passed in a flash-
Uh, that's right, the meaning of being close to the destination - here, almost, two days is indeed close, after all, they have been stranded in the forest for nearly half a month, two, compared to it, it is indeed short.
Qingying slandered in her heart, but her face was indifferent.
On the way to integrate into the Demon Hunting Society, Qingying didn't learn a way to increase his strength, except for Wucang and Qifengdu, Qingying really didn't know what he had learned-
However, the members of the Demon Hunting Club team have the ability to be angry and angry, and he has learned three points, although sometimes it is very poor, but it is really useful, even if he knows that the heart of the person concerned is extremely unpeaceful, but at least he can't see it, which is extremely important for concealing the purpose.
Huo Yue stretched out his hand and probed, this is a means that elemental masters will have after reaching the fifth layer of the Wuyuan Realm—probing the elements.
It is also a very practical thing, at least when cultivating, you can explore more of that element, which is more suitable for your own cultivation, and you can also use this to detect which kind of alien beast activity is mainly in the area.
In this area, if the thunder element is predominantly present, then they will naturally find the right place.
For a territorially strong beast like the Wind Thunder Wolf, a beast of comparable strength is never allowed to appear within its territory.
It's also a good thing, if the Wind Thunder Wolf is an extremely explosive beast living in a group, even Yan Long can only walk away with a black face.
Huo Yue probed for a moment, nodded his head, and the three of them jumped out.
They're going to look for signs from the team that entered the place early.
After a pillar of incense, the three of them returned to Huo Yue, all of them looking like they wanted to say something.
Huo Yue glanced at it, looking depressed. He waved his hand and asked a few people to follow.
Qingying was clear, looking at Huo Yue's expression, they should be the last team to arrive, this is also a matter of no choice, who told them to encounter bad luck before they went deep into the forest, and they were directly delayed for three or four days, which could not be caught up.
Huo Yue and a few people have already penetrated deep into the territory of the Wind Thunder Wolf, and according to their plan, several squads will converge in the same place.
The moment they entered here, Qingying and Huo Yue's eyes narrowed slightly at the same time, and at this time, the feeling of being like maggots attached to bones disappeared.
Of course, Qingying will not think that the other party has given up, but here, the other party has prepared a big gift for them!
