Volume 2 Growing Up Chapter 76 Into the Mountain Stream

At noon, when the sun was at its strongest, the fog in the cauldron was a little lighter, about 10%. Visibility was still less than 20 feet.

Without further ado, the merchant immediately set out and walked along the edge of the high and steep cliff into the mountain stream.

"Grandpa Fang said that the secret realm is in a small section of the cliff depression five hundred zhang deep in the mountain stream. I don't know how they managed to get to that far. ”

Zishang was in a twelve-point spirit, guarding the surroundings. Fang Kill once told him that there was a dangerous and strange species in the clouds and mist of the cauldron - the fog sting!

They resemble jellyfish, with translucent, membranous bodies that swim in thick fog. If the fog is thin, they sink into the water, curl up into a small transparent ball, and fall into a semi-deep sleep.

Stingers eat plankton in the water and tiny flying insects in the air, but if there are large animals, they prefer flesh and blood!

Unlike leeches that paralyze and suck blood, the sting is more similar to jellyfish in that it does not have many and long tentacles, but only four chopsticks...... Belch...... The tentacles are called straws or prosthetic feet, and the ends of these things have "needles" that are hard and much thinner than a human hair.

When the fog sting senses the prey through the smell in the mist, it will flutter close to the prey, and then pierce the prey with a faint "needle" at the end of the tentacle, and the poison is instantly injected into the body, paralyzing the nerves, and the body cannot move for a short time.

In addition, the poison of the sting is relatively special, although it is highly poisonous, but unless it is injected in a large dose, it is generally poisonous and undead prey. If you use too much poison, the sting itself will die.

So unless it wants to die together, the prey can only be paralyzed, unable to move, and endure the pain of being sucked alive!

Fortunately, these stings are not too fast, and as long as they are not surrounded by thousands of them, the possibility of encountering accidents is not very likely.

After walking a hundred steps or so, he really came across four fog stingers and floated leisurely in the air.

"I guess it's a coincidence. ”

Zishang muttered in his heart, before entering the mountain stream, he had already smeared a layer of powder on his body to block the smell, and the fog sting should not be able to detect his scent.

However, to be on the safe side, he still clings to the cliffs, slowly moving his body to avoid them.

As if they hadn't seen it, the four fog stingers continued to wander aimlessly, and Zishang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and continued to move cautiously into the depths of the mountain stream.

Knock! Knock!

The dull footsteps were like drumsticks smashing on the skin, and it also made Zishang's heart thump.

I quickly recalled the words introduced by Fang Kill in my mind.

"Is it the White Decay Bear?"

Thinking of the white decay bear described by Fang Kill, Zishang's heart suddenly rose to his throat.

In this dense foggy mountain stream, the white decaying bear is one of the few terrifying beasts. Although they are scarce, they are extremely dangerous.

From the sound of heavy footsteps, it can be seen that the white bear is a "seriously overweight" guy. Incredibly, it was not very large, about the size of an adult man.

It has the same white fur as the mist, and exaggerated arms and a pair of large feet, and because its arms are so large and heavy, it is difficult to walk upright, so it generally bends its waist like a weak old man, and its arms are used as front legs to crawl, and the large and heavy soles of the feet are like large slippers, which greatly limits the speed of movement.

It may seem like nothing to be afraid of, but in fact it is not like that at all.

If nothing else, its bear arms can easily crush stones, and the ten sharp blades in its palms can cut through rocks like tofu.

You might say it's big-footed, thin-legged, fast, and inflexible.

Wrong!

When fighting, its big feet and legs are not used to run. It will stand upside down in a strange way, running and moving with its huge arms, and its speed is very fast! Ordinary Qi Refining Realm martial artists are far inferior.

So what is its big foot for?

The White Decay Bear is super powerful, but it has no vocal organs, which means that it is mute.

The thick pads on the soles of their feet wrap around the peculiar bones of their feet, giving them the dull sound of footsteps they can make when they move.

And there is a low-frequency sound wave implied in this footsteps, like the "click" sound of bone rubbing, and the same kind can communicate through this sound.

When Fang Kill and his party were about to leave the mountain stream, they met a family of three white rotten bears, if it weren't for the Handan toddler baby, the white rotten bear couple might have been chasing them.

"What to do!

Zishang was anxious in his heart, the adult white decay bear was not weaker than the peak martial artist of qi refining, and he was completely abused by Zishang.

Looking left and right, he found that there were many vines hanging down from the cliffs, although they may not be fruitful, but they are densely numerous.

Zishang grabbed a handful of vines, struggled lightly to make sure he could bear his weight, and then climbed up the rock wall.

Climbing to a height of about four or five zhang, there is a protruding stone that can barely settle down.

Zishang stood trembling on it, leaning his back tightly against the cliff, tilting his head slightly, and glancing at the situation below.

Although it was already a little foggy, he still saw a large, slightly white figure.

"Can't see me, can't see me......"

Zishang only glanced at it, then turned around, tried to hide his body, and secretly prayed not to be discovered.

At this time, his heart was very nervous, on the one hand, there was a white decayed bear below that was comparable to the peak of qi refining, and on the other hand, the place where he was standing was not so reassuring.

After ten breaths, Zishang looked at it again, and saw the white rotten bear spinning in place directly below Zishang.

"If you don't leave, you won't find me, will you? No, you can't sit still!"

Carefully detach a small stone from the surrounding area and throw it towards the periphery of the mountain stream.

Da!

"Huh?"

The white bear suddenly became vigilant, sniffing quickly in the air, but did not move his body.

"Hey, so good?"

Helplessly, Zishang had no choice but to take the huge risk of falling, and took out a fist-sized round stone, shook it in his hand, and then threw it down.

If he was fifty zhang high at this time, then he would definitely throw it directly at the head of the white decay bear.

However, at this time, he was only about five feet above the ground, and a three-pound stone was thrown down, and with the defense of the white decaying bear, he had a headache at most and was dizzy for a while. Not only could he not escape, but he also revealed his location.

Boom!

This time the movement was a little bigger, and the white bear trotted over to investigate.

Zishang hurriedly pulled out two daggers, inserted them in the gap of the cliff, and crawled with difficulty.

Why didn't he jump down and walk on the ground?

The place where he was standing just now was four or five feet above the ground, and although it would not kill him if he jumped down, it would not be uncomfortable, and it would make a loud noise, and if the white rotten bear ran back, Zishang would definitely not be able to escape.

So he could only climb sideways on the rock wall with half the effort.

In addition, he found that he could avoid a lot of trouble by climbing the rock in this way.

At the same time, this does not mean that there is no danger on the cliffs. According to the information provided by Fang Kill, there are three kinds of demon beasts that are active on the cliff of the Cauldron Stream:

Cliff scorpions, lizard tigers, vine snakes.

The three demon beasts are very small in size, and they are all demon beasts that use poison.

Therefore, Zishang has been kept four or five feet above the ground, neither high nor low, and if there is an emergency, he can jump.

He traveled four hundred feet in fear and without danger, during which he encountered hundreds of fog stingers floating in clusters, and fortunately he found four latent and ready rattan snakes in advance, and the true qi shocked and blew them down the cliff.

You must be cautious when dealing with snakes, it's okay if it's not poisonous, poisonous snakes are all thieves, and most of them won't end well.

However, these are not the most terrifying, he has also encountered a high-level Xuan Demon Beast, comparable to a God Refining Realm martial artist!

I haven't heard of this guy before, and I guess they were lucky and didn't meet it.

At that time, six frost iron jackals comparable to the pinnacle of qi refining found Zishang and stared at him from below, drooling all over the ground.

Fortunately, Zishang saw that the situation was not good, so he climbed high in advance, otherwise with the bouncing power of the frost iron jackal, he would definitely be dragged down.

At that time, it was really a dilemma, no matter where the sub-merchants went, the six of them followed.

It stands to reason that Zishang is just such a piece of meat, compared to six frost iron jackals, it is just enough to stuff the teeth, why do they bite Zishang and hold on?

Maybe it's because you're full, so it's okay to play tricks on people, so let's eliminate your appetite......

Just when Zishang was hesitating whether to return the same way and exit the mountain stream, an accident happened.

A huge white fur ball with a diameter of one foot floated silently......

There seemed to be nothing but long, thick white hair on the top and bottom of the body, and it could float ...... The speed is also very fast, and you can float two or three feet in the blink of an eye.

But when such a furry giant ball floated quickly, the surrounding airflow did not change much, and it was very difficult to detect!

At that time, the Frost Iron Jackal was staring intently at Zishang, playing with him, not noticing the situation behind him at all.

Then, the mutation protrusion!

Zishang was condescending and could see clearly: the white-haired giant ball suddenly cracked a long crack a moment before it touched a frost iron jackal. The crack instantly expanded, and a hideous and ugly bloody mouth full of fangs appeared!

The seven-foot mouth was covered with hundreds of bloody fangs, and even the merchants who were on the cliff felt the thick bloody breath in the bloody mouth.

At this time, the white-haired giant ball was only a foot away from the Frost Iron Jackal, and that evil bloody aura also made it tremble, and it stiffened in place for a while.

Click!

As soon as it bit down, the frost iron jackal was swallowed by the hairball. The furball couldn't stay afloat either, so it flicked twice on the ground and rolled to the edge of the cliff before stopping.

After swallowing the frost iron jackal, the hairball returned to its previous appearance, with white fur all over its body, and nothing else could be seen. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you wouldn't have thought that there was a terrifying bloody mouth hidden inside.

The other five Frost Iron Jackals also recovered from a brief moment of fear, scratching and biting angrily.

But even if they have the strength that is not weaker than that of the peak martial artists of Qi refining, there is still no way to take the hairball monster.

Sharp claws can't scratch a single wound on the hairball.

In addition, there is a creepy sound of chewing bones from the hairball. The bones of the Frost Iron Jackal are as hard as metal, but the Furball Monster can easily chew them up!

Proper high-level Xuan Demon Beast! Mysterious and silent!

The five Frost Iron Jackals tossed for a short time before leaving in a huff, apparently also worried that the furball monster would eat them again after digestion.

Looking at the huge hairball waiting quietly below, he came down from the cliff on a whim, cut down a two-zhang tall sapling, and poked the hairball monster.

No response......

"Haha!"

Zishang became excited, holding a metal explosion ball in his left hand to prevent accidents. Holding the trunk of a sapling in his right hand, he pushed the hairball into the mountain stream......

The furball monster is elastic and lightweight, so it rolls him effortlessly.

With such a "shield", he really didn't encounter any danger, and even the stinging didn't dare to approach, or rather didn't want to approach.

The poor hairball monster was pushed by a low-level Qi Refining Realm boy with a "stick" in this way.

It took more than an hour to climb a distance of 400 zhang before, but now the hairball monster is rolling, and in less than half a cup of tea, it is trotting more than 100 zhang.

At this time, Zishang also found what Fang Kill said...... Secret Place!
