Chapter 0565: Hunting Competition

It can be seen that Li Tong is also full of expectations for this hunting competition, and it is estimated that it is mostly due to the fact that he has a longbow in his hand, which makes him more confident.

Xia Yu knew that there were many masters in the hunting area, and there was never a shortage of talented people here, and the rest depended on personal luck.

Since the last time he went up the mountain with Li Tong, Xia Yu has a general understanding of the beasts here, and the beasts in the hunting area are all fast, keen, and very alert, it is really not easy to hunt these animals easily!

The next morning, the two went up to the mountains to hunt.

Xia Yu and Li Tong have been in the mountain for two days. The two of them still followed the direction they had advanced last time into the forest, but this time Li Tong finally showed the demeanor of a master hunter, he had already shot no less than ten ordinary small beasts, as for the large beasts, Xia Yu and Li Tong did not encounter them.

Xia Yu's harvest is also good, he uses the little turtle's strong perception, he is not inferior to Li Tong in terms of the timing of discovering beasts, but unfortunately Xia Yu is good at bending the bow to shoot prey, every time he has to try his best to get close to the prey, and then make a move, which makes Xia Yu's efficiency greatly reduced, but Rao is so, Xia Yu also hunted four or five beasts, and the results are remarkable.

On the morning of the third day, there was fog in the forest, which Li Tong said was extremely rare, because the temperature difference between day and night here is very small, and there is rarely fog, and the fog will affect the hunter's sense of smell and vision, which is extremely bad for hunting.

However, for Xia Yu, it has little impact, after all, the little turtle's perception relies on consciousness. In the middle of the morning, the sun had already risen high, but the dense fog showed no signs of abating, which made Li Tong more and more careful.

The direction chosen by Xia Yu and Li Tong is relatively remote, there are few people here, the two of them have hardly stopped for the first two days, they have been walking towards the depths of the forest, and they occasionally saw a few hunting groups at the beginning, since last night until now, they have hardly seen a trace of people.

By all indications, no one has ever been here, after all, the hunting area is so mountainous and forested that many of them have not been visited.

The mist gradually dispersed, and the sun softly spilled down from between the branches and leaves of the trees, turning into golden shards, which began to change irregular shapes as the breeze blew through the leaves.

Rustle, rustle......

A strange sound suddenly appeared, Xia Yu and Li Tong stepped forward and one after the other, and the two of them stood cautiously at the same time, this strange sound seemed to be near them, and the clear and audible sound made the two of them highly concentrated, and even the little turtle didn't realize what it was.

Rustle, rustle, rustle......

It seemed to be the sound of rotting leaves on the ground, and it was like the sound of something digging into the soil, and the sound would sound when the two of them moved, and when the two of them stood still, the sound disappeared without a trace.

Xia Yu and Li Tong glanced at each other, this kind of strange thing Li Tong also encountered for the first time, he signaled Xia Yu to be careful, took off the longbow on his back, and bent the bow to wind.

The two of them stood still, waiting for the sound to sound.

Rustle, rustle, rustle......

Li Tong relied on his intuition, let go of the arrow in his hand, and with a "whoosh", the feather arrow crossed an arc and was inserted straight into the ground not far away, at this time the strange "rustle" sound also disappeared, and the two cautiously approached the place where the arrow hit, but unfortunately there was nothing.

"Could it be a digging beast?" Xia Yu asked.

Li Tong looked around cautiously and shook his head, "If the digging beast burrows into the soil, it will leave a hole in the ground, and I don't smell the smell of dirt at all, so it shouldn't be a digging beast." โ€

Xia Yu nodded, he had heard Li Tong talk a lot about the smell and habits of various beasts along the way, and the earth-digging beast had a special earthy smell, and Li Tong could easily identify that smell.

Suddenly, Xia Yu found that a leaf on the ground moved, he quickly lifted the leaf, but saw a yellow ant, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it seemed that he was too nervous.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Li Tong saw the earthy yellow ant, he suddenly changed color, and he shouted: "Hurry up!" As he spoke, he ran towards the depths of the forest first.

"What's ......" was about to ask Li Tong what was going on, but saw a second and a third appear...... Almost subconsciously, Xia Yu thought of the gray spine ant, that terrifying scene he still remembers, he immediately summoned the little turtle and flew in the sky.

Li Tong looked back at Xia Yu's movements, and hurriedly shouted, "Hurry down!"

After Xia Yu was stunned for a moment, he hurriedly withdrew the little turtle and twisted it in the air a few times before it fell to the ground.

"Brother Li Tong, what's wrong?"

"Look at the ...... behind" Li Tong's speed is fully open, and the six senses are all used, if you are not careful this time, there will be no bones left!

Xia Yu turned around and glanced at it, and suddenly saw a yellow cloud floating in the sky, accompanied by a subtle sound of wings vibrating.

"Who was that ant just now?"

"We call it the soil ghost, it's the most terrifying thing in the whole forest, I didn't expect us to encounter it here! Hurry up and rub some on your body, what we saw just now is the front of the soil ghosts, and those in the air are the guardian ants that live with the soil ghosts, they themselves have no attack power, they will spray a strong corrosive agent, this corrosive agent also has an anesthetic effect, once it is stained with this liquid, it will fall on the ground, and the soil ghosts on the ground will take the opportunity to devour people, but they will leave their favorite brain marrow to the guardian ants, these two terrifying things are not available on the periphery, only in the deepest part of the forest can be encountered, it seems that we are very unlucky, and we have encountered these thingsใ€‚ โ€

Li Tong finished speaking in one breath, but he didn't dare to stop at the slightest, at this moment Xia Yu had clearly heard the louder and louder movements behind him, he looked back, and suddenly a cold sweat flowed, and the ground between them was densely packed with yellow ants, they did not sweep around like gray spine ants, but only ate living things.

A wild boar was alarmed by this group of terrifying killers, and half of its body turned into white bones as soon as it was exposed, but the other half of the ground was still intact, but this only kept a breath, and then the whole wild boar was carried out of the ground by the torrent of ants, and in the blink of an eye, the wild boar was left with only a white bone and braincase, and there were no bones left in other places.

When the guardian ants in the air saw this braincase, they immediately rushed up to surround the braincase, and when they flew again, there were no bones left on the ground......

It seemed that Xia Yu and Li Tong had been discovered, and the guard ants in the air chased after the two first, and then the earth ghosts also rushed towards the two of them.

"Brother Li Tong, what should I do?" The speed of those guard ants was obviously faster than the two of them, and even the speed of the little turtle was not as good as that of this group of small things.

"We can only hope to meet the nemesis of the Soil Ghosts, the Saliva Bird, otherwise, we may have only one way to die!"

In front of this kind of earth ghost army, Xia Yu can't use all of his abilities to transform into auspicious stars and war beasts, the only thing that is easy to use is endless spiritual power, as long as he gathers up the spiritual power cover and supports it until the earth ghost army, he can survive, but unfortunately Xia Yu just has no spiritual power, in this situation, Xia Yu once again felt the line between life and death.

"What do saliva birds like best, and how do they come?"

"Soil ghosts are the sworn enemies of the saliva birds, and the only ability of the saliva birds is to spray their special saliva, which can stick the soil ghosts together, like glue, and they are immune to the venom of the guardian ants, they are natural soil ghost killers, they only kill soil ghosts. Where the soil ghosts appear, there will inevitably be saliva birds following, just to see if we can hold out until the saliva birds repel this group of soil ghosts, otherwise, we will have to wait for death!"

"Be careful!" Xia Yu suddenly saw several streams of green liquid spraying towards Li Tong's body, and without hesitation, he used his vortex attack to shoot down all the green liquid, and the scattered power suddenly hit the few guard ants that were closer, what shocked Xia Yu was that the guard ants only sank after being hit, and then continued to fly towards the two of them unharmed.

More and more green venom sprayed towards the two of them, and some of the venom landed on the trees, leaving charred black marks on those trees, and some trees even fell to the ground directly.

Seeing that these venoms were about to fall on the two of them, two soft blue rays lit up from Xia Yu and Li Tong respectively, Xia Yu and Li Tong were each wrapped in a layer of blue light, all the green venom touched the blue bubbles and suddenly rose a burst of smoke, although the green mangs were blocked, but the blue mangs were also much weaker, it seems that the venom is still harmful to the blue bubbles!

Xia Yu shouted, "Well done, little turtle!"

Li Tong was also shocked into a cold sweat, he reached out and touched this layer of blue bubbles, which were as soft as water, but he didn't feel a little stuffy, but this weak protective layer stopped the venom of those guard ants.

"Brother Li, let's run as far as we can!" Xia Yu said helplessly, he knew that the little turtle couldn't last long.

Only then did Li Tong remember that he was still under the watchful eye of the guard ants, Li Tong looked back at the guard ants close at hand, and his heart was horizontal, "Brother Xia Yu, you go first, leave me alone!"

"Brother Li Tong, what stupid thing are you talking about!" Xia Yu reached out and grabbed Li Tong's shoulder, "Both of us will be fine!"

Xia Yu said, and his body floated forward with Li Tong.

Li Tong was taken by Xia Yu and couldn't help but fall silent, although he knew that those earth ghosts only needed one breath to finish eating him, but instead of both of them dying, it was better to drag these terrifying killers down, even if it was only for a while!

However, the vigorous force from Xia Yu's hand made Li Tong know that it was impossible for Xia Yu to let himself die, and after thinking about this, Li Tong let out a sigh of relief and shouted: "Okay, Brother Xia Yu, if you want to die, we will die together!"

Xia Yu let go of Li Tong at this time, "Let's just run forward, the little turtle can hold on for a while, it's better than staying here and waiting to die!"

"Wait......" Li Tong's nose twitched a few times, "Haha, Brother Xia Yu, there seems to be a fishy smell unique to snakes here, and there are quite a few of them, we can lure this group of earth ghosts over, so that we have time to escape!"

The little turtle did not notice it because he was trying his best to maintain the blue protective layer, but Li Tong's nose did not lose its previous sensitivity under the blue protective layer, but on the contrary, made his sense of touch more sensitive.

"Brother Xia Yu, follow me!" Li Tong shouted loudly and turned to the left first.

The guard ants continued to spray green venom on Xia Yu and Li Tong's blue protective layer in the back, and some even landed directly on Li Tong and Xia Yu's protective layer, and this blue protective layer would soon roll over under the control of the little turtle, shaking off all the guard ants on it.

As Li Tong turned left and right, the blue light on the two of them became weaker and weaker at this time, and the little turtle was about to run out.

"Brother Li Tong, how far is it? The little turtle is about to lose its support!"

"Coming soon!" As he spoke, suddenly there was a sudden light in front of him, and the cover of the trees above his head had all disappeared, Xia Yu looked back and realized that there were no trees here, surrounded by a patch of grass, and the sun was sprinkled warmly, it was hard to imagine that there was such a flat and quiet grassland in the depths of the woods.

The sudden appearance of Xia Yu and the two made the grass on the ground churn for a while, and suddenly several huge figures flew up from the ground, and then it seemed that the arrival of the guard ants caused panic in the entire grassland, and a strong fishy smell rose from the ground, Xia Yu and Li Tong turned around again, and the guard ants obviously found several huge figures in the air, and they immediately turned their interest to several figures in the air, followed by the eyes full of earthy yellow.

Xia Yu and Li Tong landed on the trees in the distance and observed quietly, they didn't dare to rush out directly, after all, there were endless army of earth ghosts behind them!

The seemingly calm green grassland suddenly churned violently, and countless snakes appeared out of thin air on the ground, all kinds of colorful snakes mixed together, and the formation was not much worse than that of the group of earth ghosts.

This is simply the kingdom of snakes, from the weakest black iron tail to all kinds of poisonous snakes, even the rarest winged snakes appear in the air.

Those huge figures Xia Yu only saw clearly at this moment, these were the rare winged snakes, their cyan bodies were rolling in the air, two pairs of powerful flesh wings were inserted from their abdomen, as soon as they appeared, they aimed their cold eyes at the group of guard ants in the air, and almost at the same time, both sides spewed out their most powerful venom.

A cyan, a green, two clumps of venom scattered in the air, two different stenches made people almost faint, those venom fell to the ground, immediately made the snake sea and the earth ghost group convuls, both sides were killed and wounded, but for the large number of both sides, almost no effect on them, the armies of both sides advanced forward without stopping, and the battle in the air continued.
