Chapter 220: The Legend of the Ocelot
Thanks to Huang Miao, Legend Zhong Dё, and Donald Duck for eating rice balls for the monthly pass, and thanks to Count Machinery for the reward.
Under normal circumstances, if there is a strong creature in nature that occupies a place, there will be no other large predators within a radius of thousands to tens of kilometers. Like a tiger, except for those that inadvertently intrude, there are no medium- and large-scale animals that dare to settle down and live in its range of more than ten kilometers of mountains. Tiger whiskers only Han Xiong dares to pick it up, like pythons, they can generally dodge it!
Out of the vine world, Xu Ling walked for thousands of kilometers without encountering any aggressive animals and plants. Think about ten kilometers, now at least two or three thousand meters, as long as there are no more obstacles like vines along the way, I believe that you should be able to reach the edge of the sinkhole by noon.
Xu Ling thought very well, but the skinny reality often shattered the plump desire. Xu Ling had just walked a few hundred meters briskly away from the vines, and found that there was a roadblock in front of him: a piece of water, trees with red trunks growing in the water, and there was a layer of dead leaves of more than ten centimeters on the water surface! This is simply a swamp, and it is also a swamp where a huge trap is buried, once an animal steps on it, it will sink and disappear in an absolute instant, and there will be no chance to resist!
"Alas, is it that entering the sinkhole is the same as learning scriptures, and it has to go through eighty-one difficulties. Xu Ling sighed, with a wry smile on his face.
The water is bottomless, and it is unclear whether there are predatory plants and animals. Xu Ling would rather believe that there are dangerous predators below! Looking up at the ancient trees, the dense leaves are like red clouds in the setting sun, looming strangely in the white mist, swaying gently with the breeze. Many ancient vines hang on the branches of the trunks, like blood-colored giants wearing gold and silver, rippling with strange style.
The front was a swampy water covered with dead leaves, and Xu Ling could only swing over the trees to be safest. Moreover, the branches between the trees are connected, and the ancient vines are entwined and circulating, which is easy to borrow!
"I'm going to make an ape Tarzan today!", after speaking, Xu Ling gritted the Tai'a sword with his teeth, and his hands leaned against the vines hovering around the trunk. Climb up hard. But as soon as he was halfway up, a blood-colored tree python with the thickness of an arm appeared above his head! Xu Ling was so depressed that he couldn't see the fog under the tree, and it was uncomfortable to not go up or down.
Wait for the moment when the tree snake hovers down and opens its mouth to bite. Xu Ling grabbed the vine with his left hand, and quickly stabbed the Tai'a sword with his right hand into the mouth of the tree python. Immediately nailed it to the trunk of the tree. Then when it collapsed, it threw itself into the swamp and threw it violently, and a few seconds later it fell on the dead leaves with a "poof".
However, Xu Ling thought that this was the case, and suddenly the sound of the water waves rolling came, apparently a large carnivore was lurking in the water and waiting for the rabbit. This made Xu Ling glad that he didn't take a wooden boat and left. If you encounter a monster like Snake Mountain, you can't go into the space to hide from them?
From a tree, with criss-crossing branches and thick red python-like vines, Xu Ling finally figured out the swamp area. The moment he fell to the ground, he touched his back, and it was all sweat, and his shirt was already soaked.
"This Tarzan of the Apes is not something that ordinary people can do. Xu Ling said with a sigh. Although it may be safer in the trees, more often than not, there is no place to hide in the trees when they encounter danger. Especially like the man-eating tree, it can't fall to the ground. He glanced back at a long strip of water tens of meters wide, lying behind him. Xu Ling only felt that this place was like a blood-colored dragon lying on its stomach, staring at the prey that was approaching it!
Waving away the darkness in his heart, Xu Ling raised his sword and continued to move forward. Halfway through the journey, there may not be too many beasts and monsters ahead. According to the general situation, the closer to the location of the sinkhole, the stronger the monster's strength, then the range it needs to hunt is larger, and there will be no other large beasts in the territory it occupies.
Sure enough, as Xu Ling thought, he walked for more than ten minutes, and there were hundreds of meters without encountering any attack. And Xu Ling didn't even hear any bird calls and small animal chirps nearby. At this point, Xu Ling secretly raised his vigilance in his heart, and his spirit once again concentrated on the surroundings and the underground. The search radius of more than ten meters is enough to react when there is a fierce beast attack.
The sound of trampling on the thick dead branches and leaves came from underfoot, lonely and crisp. The surroundings seem to be isolated. There is no more wind, no trees shaking, no birds and beasts chirping. A qiē made Xu Ling feel quiet and weird, and the feeling of loneliness lingered in his heart, making people panic, and they wanted to escape immediately, the faster they ran, the better!
This situation is not right! Xu Ling came to his senses in a panic moment, and he had already had this experience two hours ago. Apparently caught up in some kind of fantasy. And it was an extremely strong psychic attack, unconsciously letting people enter the trap it had set! Xu Ling's mind moved, and his body suddenly disappeared into the woods. At this moment, in front of Xu Ling, five or six meters away, from behind a huge Babel tree, a huge white animal like a Tibetan mastiff turned out, like a fox like a leopard, with a cat's mouth and big eyes, a fox-like body and a mink-like tail and limbs, which was extremely weird!
However, after Xu Ling entered the space, he had palpitations after he woke up. Because just now he was confident that the mental sensing detection distance was definitely more than ten meters! There was no discovery, this was his own mind, mind and spirit had been controlled by this thing! And the place where this thing appeared was actually five meters away, and a few steps further his own little life Thinking of this, Xu Ling's heart was cold. The Tai'a sword didn't make any noise, probably thinking that this thing didn't pose any threat!
Like a cat when quiet, like a leopard when running, like a tiger when pounced on food, Xu Ling remembered an animal in the chapter of rare and strange beasts in the Classic of Mountains and Seas: the leopard cat! According to the records of Yizhi, in the ancient flood period, when the heaven and earth first opened, when the body of the Pangu god fell, a wisp of attachment to this world dissipated and disappeared, and wandered around unconsciously in this world. Occasionally, a male leopard inhaled the sun and moon on the top of the mountain, and I don't know what happened, and it became a good thing to catch a passing Tmall in a daze. And after that, the leopard died of exhaustion, and Tmall gave birth to an animal like a leopard and a cat after nine years of pregnancy, and at that time, the leopard cat only glanced at its mother, and Tmall committed suicide in a daze!
But whenever there is a strange thing, it is always accompanied by auspicious clouds or blood. As soon as this ocelot was born, he used his mental power to accidentally control his mother and let it commit suicide. Next, it kicked off the beginning of the ocelot legend: a six-like person passed by its cave dwelling, and saw that the little guy seemed to be hungry and uncomfortable, and the six-like who happened to be still breastfeeding didn't think much about it, and knelt down to feed it at the moment, and waited for it to eat and drink before getting up and preparing to leave. At this moment, the ocelot's natural mental control, or mental confusion, found the six dislikes, this time not to let it commit suicide, but to kneel in the hole to breastfeed it without leaving!
Three years later, Liubi was drained of his essence and died. Naturally, its children would have died long ago. And in the past three years, the ocelot has finally grown up a lot. When Liubu died, he immediately got out of this mountain and started a journey of chaos in the world!
But any creature that encounters it, no matter what it is, as long as it is within the range of its spiritual control, none of them can escape. And this is the time when the Lich Tribulation has passed, and the heavens and the earth want the human race to prosper. However, the ocelot does not believe in evil and focuses on the weak human race. It doesn't eat it all, but when it does, it always plays a trick and makes people kill themselves or kill each other, just like a cat playing with a mouse. The leopard cat is even more so, more often than not, it is for the kind of challenge and excitement that is looking for excitement.
In just a few years, countless human races have died under its control. For a time, the Terran was terrified and mourned, and everyone was in danger! And the co-owner of the Terran also prayed for the blessing of the gods again and again, so that the incense of the Terran would not be cut off!
It's a pity that the gods will rule over the life and death of the fragile and useless human race. Even Lao Tzu, who claims to be the Taoist of the human race, is also sanctimonious, and looks like a master outside the world who does not eat fireworks in the world. The co-owner of the human race traveled thousands of miles to ask for help, but he only let the Taoist boy send him out and travel to the clouds!
After this incident, the co-leader returned to the Terran settlement and convened the Terran elders to discuss important matters! When the entire Terran tribe learned that there was no help from any gods, they all fell into despair. At that time, it can be said that human beings are the most helpless, and the hateful words of "heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs, and the gods are unkind, and all beings are used as the furnace" were shouted from the weeping mouth of the human race from time to time!
Seeing this situation, the co-owner of the human race endured the sadness in his heart and called on the human race to be self-reliant! Since others can't rely on it, then rely on yourself! If the gods can't rely on it, then give full play to our own creative power, and if God can't help it, then use our hands to protect our human race!
In just a few months, the people built the city-state, strengthened the guardrails, and invented tools to deal with the ocelot. It can be said that this incident has played a great role in promoting the self-reliance and self-development of the human race. (To be continued.) )
