Chapter Seventy-One: The Giant Tree and the Monkey
The Moonlight Horse carried Lin Jing and Yan Yao through the lake in the forest to a forest full of life.
In front of their eyes, a huge tree grew.
This tree is really big, one of its leaves is seven or eight meters wide, and the trunk is so thick that dozens of people may not be able to surround it.
This is the largest tree Lin Jing has seen so far.
I saw that some unknown creatures were flying around the tree, and they glowed beautifully at night.
Some herbivores come here and frolic around.
The arrival of the Moonlight Horse did not frighten these animals, and even Lin Jing and Yan Yao were ignored by these animals, as if there was no danger here.
"It's Floral"
Lin Jing sniffed the air and sensed something.
"What?" Yan Yao didn't hear clearly.
"It's because of the fragrance of flowers that these animals become tame, and they don't even fear our arrival," Lin Jing pointed to a purple flower growing under the tree.
This flower was glowing, and it was also a magic plant, and Lin Jing felt a faint magic fluctuation from it.
Since it was a magic plant, Lin Jing didn't plan to let it go.
She told Yao to put herself down.
Reaching out to pluck the magical plant, he heard the sound of leaves rattling from above.
"Be careful!"
Yan Yao rushed over and quickly drew his knife and slashed out.
"Ding!"
The expected severing scene did not occur, and the bone knife slammed together with a hard claw.
Lin Jing had already seen the creature that had attacked him at this time, it was a vicious-looking monkey with long hook-like claws.
This monkey is a fighting beast, and its aura is not weaker than Yan Yao, or even stronger.
One man and one monkey fought as a group.
Lin Jing ran away quickly, nervously watching the battle on this side.
There was another noise in the trees, and four more monkeys jumped up and joined the band.
They're all fighting animals.
Lin Jing discovered this unusual situation, it stands to reason that it is rare for a fighting beast to appear in one place, and it is the first time that five fighting beasts appear at once.
I remember the last time I saw a fighting beast, it was when the Qingyuan tribe was attacked, and two rock armor bears with fighting beast strength appeared.
The scarcity of the number of fighting beasts has also caused the scarcity of bone weapons, such as the bone knife in Yan Yao's hand, which was passed on to him by his father, and before that, this bone knife had been passed down for several generations.
The bones of ordinary beasts can also be polished into weapons, but they are not hard enough and can only be used for some simple purposes, not for hunting beasts.
I saw that the surface of Yan Yao's skin appeared with a golden luster, which was a sign of his use of Douqi, his Douqi ability is to strengthen all aspects of the body's functions, including speed, strength, ear power, explosiveness, etc., but it is very average, and the effect is not as obvious as the Douqi that simply strengthens speed or strength.
Even so, it seems that he has twice as much strengthening ability as an ordinary fighter, and he will not be left behind when dealing with the three fighting beast-level monkeys in front of him.
Why do you say three, because there are still two more that ran to attack Lin Jing.
Lin Jing didn't dodge, in fact, with her agility, she couldn't dodge the two agile monkeys, so she simply didn't dodge, and the result was that as soon as the two monkeys approached her, the effect of the ice shield talisman was activated, and she was directly frozen into an ice sculpture.
Lin Jing recited the incantation, and a ball of fireball magic appeared in her hand and threw it at the three monkeys.
Speaking of which, the monkey is really an agile animal, and he even dodged the fireball magic in advance.
Yan Yao took advantage of this great opportunity to rush out with an arrow step, and the bone knife in his hand struck the nearest monkey like lightning.
The monkey had just dodged the fireball magic, and was unprepared for an attack next to it, and unfortunately was slashed into the monkey's leg, and blood flowed out instantly.
The monkey let out a shrill cry and ran away, followed by two other monkeys.
Yan Yao still had to chase after him, but was stopped by Lin Jing "Don't chase, don't forget that we still have important things to do"
Hearing this, Yan Yao hesitated, a little pity for the three fighting beast monkeys that escaped, they were precious materials that could be made into weapons, but after all, he listened to Lin Jing's words and did not catch up again.
Lin Jing's purpose of not letting Yan Yao chase is very simple, these monkeys run so fast and can go up the tree, the chance of being caught up is not great, and the purpose of her coming is to get the leaves of this tree and observe the lines on it, which is related to Yan Yao's future strength improvement, which is much more important than the three wild monkeys.
Before going up the tree, I collected some of the magical plants that emitted a strange fragrance, which can make the beast tame, but it doesn't seem to have any effect on the fighting beast, just look at the monkeys.
"This tree may be the home of those monkeys"
Lin Jing thought like this, and five monkeys with fighting strength lived on a tree, and they became more and more curious about this tree.
"Let's go up," Lin Jing said.
"Well, I'll go ahead, you follow me"
Yan Yao protected Lin Jing behind him, he was worried that there were still monkeys hiding in this tree, at this time, he forgot that Lin Jing had a talisman on his body, and he was not afraid of general danger.
And Lin Jing didn't say anything to remind her, enjoying the feeling of being protected.
The tree is huge, and there is something on it that is easy for people to climb.
Yan Yao climbed very fast, and when he climbed up a little, he would turn around and pull Lin Jing along.
In this way, it took more than twenty minutes for the two of them to climb to the middle of the giant tree, and they were not ready to continue.
The branches of this tree are very wide and large, and it feels very stable to walk on, without the slightest feeling of shaking.
"I'll hold you"
Yan Yao changed positions and helped her walk behind Lin Jing.
"Hmm"
Lin Jing didn't refuse, she was a little afraid of heights, and if she didn't let someone help her, she really didn't dare to go.
Cautiously walked to the tip of the branch, and at this time I already felt that the branch under me was shaking, and I couldn't go any further.
"It's almost here, Yao, you pick me up," Lin Jing said.
Yan Yao picked up Lin Jing's body from behind.
This height is about as high as the nearest leaf above.
Lin Jing reached out and carefully touched the root of the leaf, took out a bone knife, and slowly cut it.
I don't dare to cut too much, for fear that my body will lose its stability, and if I fall from this height, it will become a human biscuit.
I finally managed to get a leaf down, but the leaf was so big that it could be used as a quilt, and it was very difficult to hold steadily.
"Hurry back"
Lin Jing was very scared and urged.
Yan Yao carried her and retreated backwards, not stopping until she reached a thicker position on the branch.
Take a break.
Lin Jing picked up the leaf and began to carefully observe the lines on it.
