"Lao Chen, this is the first rotten beast we have killed?" Su Fanchen asked with a breath.
"I can't remember clearly, there should be six or seven," Chen Yifan said slowly.
"Six or seven?" Su Fanchen frowned, "Rotten armor beasts are snoozes all year round and rarely take the initiative to attack, but the fact that we have encountered them one after another is enough to illustrate a problem. ”
"What's the problem?" Chen Yifan asked curiously.
"I'm afraid there are some changes here that we don't know about, Lao Chen, how many plants have we collected from Hanyoucao?"
"I look, thirty-one plants have been collected, and there are still nineteen plants left. Chen Yifan looked down.
"Collect the cold grass as soon as possible, I have a faint bad premonition in my heart. Su Fanchen said with a somewhat heavy face.
"Okay, let's do it, let's collect it separately, it's relatively fast. ”
"Okay, pay more attention to yourself. If you encounter a rotten beast, try not to fight. ”
After agreeing on the idea, Chen Yifan and Su Fanchen acted separately, because both of them tried to avoid places infested with rotting armor beasts, the speed at which the two of them collected cold grass greatly increased for a while.
Half an hour later, the sunset on the horizon was gradually approaching the western mountains.
"Old Chen, how is the harvest on your side?" Su Fanchen, whose face was slightly pale, asked Chen Yifan.
"I've already picked ten plants, how are you doing over there?" Chen Yifan, whose face was also a little pale, responded.
"I've picked ten of them, and now that the task is complete, let's go. Just go to the Bee Valley and make the carrion hides we collected into armor. Su Fanchen nodded.
"Alright, let's go. After saying that, the two turned into a streamer and broke through the air.
At the edge of the dense forest swamp, looking at the exit that was already close at hand, Su Fanchen's heart couldn't help but feel the slightest relaxation, but felt a throbbing in his heart.
"Stop!" Su Fanchen shouted.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Chen Yifan looked at Su Fanchen suspiciously.
"It's not good! Retreat!" said that, he grabbed Chen Yifan's shoulders and quickly stepped back.
"Whoosh" A fishy wind struck towards the location of the two just now.
There was a heavy "bang" sound, splashing a large area of sewage.
Su Fanchen looked ahead with a solemn face.
The sound of "rustling" came from the front, getting closer and closer to Chen Yifan and the others.
Soon, a huge black snake with a tail very similar to a scorpion's tail appeared in the field of vision of the two.
"Scorpiontail snake!" The moment he saw the black snake appear, Su Fanchen's face changed drastically.
"Let's go, go deep into the swamp forest!"
Su Fanchen shouted anxiously at Chen Yifan, and quickly flew towards the depths of the dense forest.
Along the way, Su Fanchen's face was extremely solemn, and he completely ignored the consumption of spiritual power in his body. Flying at full speed towards the depths of the forest.
Chen Yifan saw Su Fanchen like this for the first time, although he was puzzled in his heart as to why Su Fanchen made such a decision, he knew that this was not the time to ask. With all his strength, Edgeworth kept his head and followed Su Fanchen's figure closely.
In this way, the two of them flew towards the depths of the dense forest swamp with solemn expressions all the way. At this time, the sky gradually darkened, the miasma in the forest became heavier and heavier, and Chen Yifan gradually couldn't see Su Fanchen's figure not far from him.
Suddenly, Su Fanchen's figure stopped in front of him.
"What's wrong?" Chen Yifan wondered.
"Shhhh
He took out a talisman from his bosom and threw it forward.
"Burst"
The talisman instantly turned into a huge fireball, and then the light Su Fanchen hurriedly glanced at it and ran away again.
Chen Yifan's face was speechless, and he had no choice but to follow Su Fanchen's steps closely.
In this way, after Su Fanchen used four or five talismans one after another, Chen Yifan finally saw his position clearly.
"You're not sick, are you?It's taken so much effort to go back to the place where you were still in the talisman for the first time?" After seeing his position clearly, Chen Yifan suddenly lost his breath.
"Shhhh Su Fanchen, who was standing on the demon pestle, slowly landed on a relatively flat high ground, "You come down too, be quiet." ”
"You can't be confused by the miasma, right?" Chen Yifan said angrily, "Without explaining the reason, he ran all the way to the depths of this dense forest, and now he is still staying." ”
"You know, if you want to live, stay here honestly. Su Fanchen glanced at Chen Yifan, "Do you know what is chasing us?"
"Didn't you mean the manticore?"
"And what do you know about a manticore?"
"Well, this, I don't know" Chen Yifan spread his hands, looking innocent.
Seeing Chen Yifan's appearance, Su Fanchen was almost angry.
"I don't know what you're saying, as if you know it very well. ”
"And what do you say is a manticore?"
"The scorpiontail is a demon beast with extremely strong territory, and its strength is roughly equivalent to the sixth layer of the Mortal Realm, do you say that I can't run away when I encounter it?"
"In that case, why don't you run in any other direction but into the depths of this dense forest?"
"Are you a pig? Didn't you hear me just say that the manticoree is a very strong demon beast?" Su Fanchen looked at Chen Yifan with an idiotic gaze.
"What about that, it doesn't mean anything. ”
"I'm really convinced of you, let's tell you this, generally as long as the demon beast is lower than the realm of the manticore, when it encounters it, it will often choose to leave its territory or avoid it, but although the rotting beasts we saw today also left their caves, they did not choose to leave, but were watching the general, which means that there should be a strength among them that is not inferior to the existence of the manticore. This is the only way to cause the phenomenon we see and explain why we encounter carrions so often today. I detonated the talisman just now just to lure the two of them over" After Su Fanchen finished speaking, he no longer looked at Chen Yifan, but lowered his head and dug down.
"Are you going to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, but what are you doing here?" Chen Yifan asked again.
"Didn't you see it?!Dig a hole!Otherwise, how can you sit?!Being with you will make you angry sooner or later, why don't you hurry up and help!" Su Fanchen yelled at Chen Yifan almost groaning, he was really fed up with Chen Yifan's IQ.
Soon, a cave large enough for the two of them to hide appeared below, and after Su Fanchen beckoned Chen Yifan to jump down, he reached out and grabbed a handful of rotten grass to cover the entrance of the cave.
"Oh, I see, you're doing this to prevent the manticores and carrions from getting into a fight, aren't you? Chen Yifan said suddenly.
"You finally understand, it's not easy in terms of your IQ. ”
“……”
Time passed little by little, and suddenly a fishy wind swept over the heads of the two.
"Whew!"
"Shhh
Soon, there was an earth-shattering collision sound not far from the entrance of the cave, and bursts of roars were made from time to time, while the two people in the cave held their breath tightly and quietly listened to the sound of fighting outside the cave.
