Although Li Ji planned to go down the stream, the direction was clear. However, for safety reasons, it is safer to let the young beasts take the lead. No one can guarantee that there are no magical beast ambushes or natural traps in front of him, and the young beast has rough skin and thick flesh, and its defense and strength are stronger than him, so it is easier than him to deal with unknown dangers.

In view of the wide field of vision by the stream, there is not much to hide the figure, and it is easy to fall into a situation where the enemy is dark and the enemy is bright, so Li Ji decided to walk with the young beast against the edge of the forest, and also go down the river, after changing positions, it is better to hide himself.

Walking through the dense forest as usual, the obstacles were not small, and the "rustle" of dead branches and weeds being trampled under his feet became a shining signal, and Li Ji could only rely on the young beast to identify the dangerous targets lurking around him, and was ready to deal with them at any time. This was the first time since he learned that the young beasts could not completely discover those astringent magical beasts, because this time he was exploring in an unknown direction, and he was no longer in the environment he was familiar with before, and the probability of encountering danger was likely to increase exponentially. Therefore, Li Ji felt that it was better to be careful.

Because it was an unfamiliar environment, Li Ji and the young beast did not walk fast, and they probably walked less than a thousand meters in half an hour, although there were reasons why Li Ji deliberately slowed down, but there were also factors such as complex terrain. For example, now, Li Ji and the young beast are standing on a steep slope, and the stream flows further before it is a waterfall seven or eight meters high. Li Ji looked at it from a side angle, and under the waterfall was a deep pool about six meters wide, the water of the pool was turquoise, and there were ripples under the splashing of the waterfall. It was like being cut off by a knife, and the waterfall that he suddenly encountered stretched for dozens of meters, and at this height, Li Ji had no other way but to obediently look for a relatively gentle path, after all, he didn't have the courage or ability to climb on the seven or eight meter-high stone wall.

More than ten minutes later, under the leadership of the little pioneer of the young beast, Li Ji made a roundabout turn and came to the edge of the deep pool under the waterfall. Strange to say, after coming below, Li Ji found that the environment around this deep pool is very strange, there is a crooked neck tree growing on the right side of the deep pool, and this tree is also like most of the trees in this forest, it grows extraordinarily large, the tree body grows from the right to the left side of the deep pool, and the shadow of the lush branches and leaves covers most of the deep pool, and the morning sun can only shine on some of the edges of the deep pool. Of course, except for this strange tree, there is no giant tree within tens of meters around the deep pool, only some low weeds and miscellaneous trees, far from the scene that should be seen by the stream on the way, this unique scene shows the strangeness of the crooked neck tree.

Looking at the ground that seemed to have traces left by the demonic beast not long ago, Li Ji was vigilant, although now the young beast was standing beside him, and did not give a warning, indicating that it was safe at this time, but the unconscious tension, Li Ji could not control it. Because as he walked around Tan's side, after careful observation, he found that there were too many traces left by demonic beasts here. It is conceivable that even if there are no Warcraft around at this time, there is no guarantee that there will be Warcraft in the future, and this is definitely a gathering place for many Warcraft to drink.

This discovery made Li Ji excited and a little worried, excited that he might encounter a second-level demonic beast later, and in view of his understanding of the young beast, it is very likely that the person who came here to drink water would not be a second-level fire-attribute demonic beast, because the young beast that is a fire-attribute demonic beast does not like to drink water very much, except for the broth, of course. The worry is that it is more likely that there are other levels of demonic beasts, or even demonic beasts with a higher level than the young beasts, in case that situation really occurs, then Li Ji's situation is not good, although it is possible to be safe and sound under the protection of the young beasts, but today's training task will be in vain, wasting precious time. Therefore, at this time, Li Ji was very entangled, hesitating whether to wait for the rabbit and wait for the second-level demonic beast to appear. Or stop staying and continue to search downstream.

After thinking about it again and again, in the end, Li Ji felt that it was better to wait and see, if there was no second-level demonic beast by noon, then he would continue to search downstream. Anyway, there is plenty of time today, and it is okay to waste two or three hours.

However, Li Ji still has some uncertainty about the hiding location, and he doesn't know where to hide, there are no special sheltering plants or rocks near this deep pool, and it is really difficult to hide without being discovered. Moreover, how far to hide so as not to be sensed by the Warcraft, Li Ji has no idea in his heart, so in the end, he still has to ask for the opinion of the young beast, after all, the young beast should have more say in playing peek-a-boo with the Warcraft.

"Where do you think I'm going to hide so I don't get discovered?"

"It's useless for you to hide anywhere, you'll definitely be discovered. You won't hide your aura, in this range, except for the first-level demonic beasts that may not be able to find you, other demonic beasts can find you no matter how well you hide them. ”

The young beast struck with a straight blow.

"Isn't that me, that I'm like a prey wherever I go, and I'll never be able to escape the pursuit of the beasts?...... Oh no! Why didn't they notice me when I hid with you to watch the Piercing Mountain Beast and the Boar Monster fight over something, I wasn't very far away from them at that time!"

"Who said they didn't notice you, they just didn't bother to pay attention to you!"

In the face of Li Ji's questioning, the young beast continued to strike at his gradually fragile heart.

"Is there no way to do it? Is there any way you can help me hide my breath from detection?"

"Nope. ...... But in fact, it's okay if you hide, and those who can find you may not be interested in you, at least the Warcraft above the third level will not pay much attention to you, and the Warcraft of the second level is not exactly what you want to challenge? When it is discovered, just come out and fight it. ”

Hearing that the young beast had such an idea for himself, Li Jian was also half happy and half worried, mixed joys and sorrows, and he didn't know what to say for a while, but in the end, he still decided to find a place to hide, at least he would not be seen by the demon beast at a glance, and barely increased a little concealment.

Looking around, after overturning the screened hiding spots, Li Ji fell in love with the peculiar crooked neck tree. As for why they fancy the crooked neck tree, there is a reason. First of all, the crooked neck tree has dense branches and leaves, which can cover his body well (although it is useless, but it can also deceive himself and seek psychological comfort.) Secondly, in terms of hiding at the height of the crooked neck tree, you can better detect the enemy situation and detect the arrival of the monster; Even if he takes 10,000 steps back, he is trapped in a tree, but under the tree is a deep pool, it's just a big deal to dive, although he used to be an otaku, but he can still swim. So, to sum up, hiding in a crooked neck tree should be his best choice.

Now that he had decided on his hiding position, Li Jian no longer procrastinated, and walked towards the crooked neck tree.

Li Ji, who was walking along the edge of the pool, did not notice that under the turquoise water surface of the deep pool, there was something slowly approaching him, although its shape was not small, but it was silent when it swam under the water, especially the shade of trees and the sound of falling water, which was even more difficult to detect. Even the young beasts did not feel anything abnormal.

A pair of cold and ruthless eyes stared indifferently at Li Ji who was approaching, its swaying posture seemed to be unable to shake Gu Jing's unwavering eyes, and only a flash of blood red in its green pupils could prove its cruelty under indifference.

Just as Li was about to walk under the crooked neck tree, his steps stopped, and he seemed to see something unusual out of the corner of his eye, which had been looking around.

On the edge of the pool, where the sun could not shine much, there was a reflection in his eyes. This special scene made Li Ji stop, and he looked down at the reflective object. What caught his eye was a snake head larger than his head, two fist-sized eyes staring at him indifferently, its head was regularly covered with scales two fingers thick, and the dazzling reflection was emitted by the scales on its forehead.

At the first sight of the snake's head, Li Ji's heartbeat stopped for a moment, and then he beat rapidly, beating faster and faster, as if he needed to breathe quickly during the run, and beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his forehead at some point, although his body looked a little trembling unconsciously, but he didn't dare to move a little, because the snake didn't move.

At this time, Li Ji was very close to the giant snake, so close that he didn't even have the courage to escape, as if the giant snake could swallow him as long as he stretched out his neck and opened his mouth.

The breeze blew, which was supposed to take away the hot and dry cool breeze, but it made Li Ji feel cold all over his body at this moment, like being drenched from head to toe by a basin of ice water, and he was so cold that he shivered.

Stalemate, formed in silence. Li Ji on the shore did not dare to move, for fear of being attacked by the slightest accident. However, the giant snake under the water did not know what it was thinking, whether it was exhausting Li Ji's energy, or whether it was looking for Li Ji's flaws?

The young beast originally walked side by side with Li Ji, but it walked outside, and due to the height limit, it was not able to see the reflection that Li Ji found. However, after Li Ji stopped, the young beast that walked forward a meter away still found the clue. It followed Li Ji's eyes and saw the giant snake hiding under the water. It's just that the young beast's actions after that were beyond Li Ji's expectations, it actually sat down, silently watching the confrontation between Li Ji and the giant snake, and had no intention of going up and kicking it off. If he didn't dare to move, he really wanted to pry open the young beast's head and see what was growing inside, and he actually dropped the chain at such a critical time.

However, this can only be blamed on Li Ji's lack of understanding of the young beast's good intentions. It can't help it.
