Chapter 95: Finding the Target
After cleaning the battlefield and introducing each other, the group did not move forward immediately, but found a hidden place to meditate and breathe. Yan Biao's team doesn't consume much, it doesn't matter if he rests or not, the main thing is that the four people in Wang Dongsheng's team have been fighting for a long time, and the true qi has been lost a lot, especially Zou Zhang, who is almost to the point of depleting his true qi, so it is necessary to reply immediately.
In the meantime, Wang Dongsheng, Yan Biao, Zou Zhang, Wu Baonian, and others discussed in detail the route of the subsequent journey, and after the two of them synthesized their opinions, they made some subtle adjustments, which deviated slightly from the original route.
After the body was rectified, he set off on the road, opened by Yan Biao and Wu Baonian, Wang Dongsheng and Zou Zhang, a group of nine people, continued to march to the depths of the Broken Soul Slope, and the road was surprisingly smooth, there was no mistake, and there were no large-scale beasts and difficult beast demons, and occasionally one or two lone ones were also quickly killed by Wang Dongsheng and Yan Biao, the two masters of the peak of condensation. After more than an hour, they finally reached their final destination, which was the area rumored to be infested by the Ape-headed Ironback Bear.
None of the two demon slaying teams had ever set foot in this area, and the exact location of the Ape Head Ironback Bear needed to be further explored. Usually the hunting targets of the demon slaying team are the middle and low-level beast demons on the periphery, and the danger of the high-level beast demons is already quite large, if there are many of them, even the peak cultivators of Qi Condensation may die, let alone the top-level beast demons, so the depths of the Broken Soul Slope are basically inaccessible, unless they are cultivators who have reached the realm of refining gods, they can enter and exit this area with confidence and boldness.
Because of the danger here, the team didn't dare to scatter and search at all, and still maintained the original formation and wandered cautiously to investigate, at this time Wu Baonian's role was reflected, and I don't know if it was because of his talent or the special exercises he cultivated, this person's hearing was much more sensitive than that of ordinary Qi Condensation Cultivators, and he could hear sounds from other places from afar.
The group searched for a while, but found nothing, let alone an ape-headed ironback bear, and even the other beast demons didn't see one, so Qi An pulled Yan Suqing's sleeve and asked in a low voice: "I haven't met a living creature for half a day, isn't it a little abnormal?"
Because of the embarrassment that happened in the tree hole, Yan Suqing still had a little resentment towards Qi An, and glared at him before replying: "What's abnormal? This is the normal situation!"
Qi An asked, "Why?"
Yan Suqing explained in a low voice: "The more powerful the beast demons, the more territorial they are, and this is the case with the ape-headed ironback bear, within the range they inhabit, the other beast demons are almost extinct, otherwise they will be regarded as provocations and attacked." ”
Qi An thought for a moment and then asked, "If there are no other beast demons, then where does the food for the ape-headed ironback bear come from?"
Yan Suqing replied angrily: "Beast demons are not ordinary beasts, they are just like monks, there is no problem if they don't eat or drink for a long time, they can survive by swallowing the vitality of heaven and earth, and the reason why beast demons attack other creatures is usually not for food, but their natural killing habits." ”
Qi An suddenly realized: "Oh, so that's the case, I've been taught!"
After searching for a while, seeing that the sun had sunk and darkness was gradually coming, everyone could only stop, find a leeward stone wall and sit down in turn, intending to rest for the night and continue to explore tomorrow morning.
Yan Biao and the others set up some simple alarm devices around, and then came back and allocated the time period for everyone to sentry, a total of nine people were divided into three groups, each group was on guard for two hours, Wang Dongsheng, Lin Fang, Ruan Feiyu was the first group, Yan Biao, Yan Suqing, Wu Baonian was the second group, Zou Zhang, Qi Daoren, and Qi An were the third group, the strength was evenly divided, and each group had at least one experienced demon slaying team veteran, such a grouping plan was very reasonable, and everyone had no objections.
So, the cultivation of cultivation, the sentry of sentinels, everyone did not talk much, and tried to avoid making sounds.
Qi An was assigned to the third group, and the duty time was ranked last, that is, the time of Yin and Mao, and in the period from the second half of the night to dawn, he leaned against the stone wall and meditated with peace of mind to practice Vajra.
Time passed, and there was hardly any sound except the sound of insects and the wind, and it was not until Qi An heard Yan Suqing whispering to him in his ear that he closed his eyes and opened his eyes, and it was his turn to start the night duty.
The Qidao people turned over to the top of the stone wall and hidden, while Qi An and Zou Zhang each held one end of the stone wall, paying attention to the movement on both sides.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, Qi An secretly condensed ten drops of essence blood to repair the Mo Ling Ruyi Armor, because he was marching and fighting all day, and there were others by his side, Qi An couldn't repair the armor with essence blood, and he didn't have a chance until this time.
As soon as he finished it, Qi An heard a soft sound in the distance, and then a wave of branches and leaves shook, and it was the sound of a twine tied to two small trees being torn off, which was a warning method set by Yan Biao and them, which immediately made Qi Anxin feel alarmed, and immediately pinched and exploded the black soft beads in his hand, so that they could be stretched out to form armor, and at the same time looked towards the place where the sound came from.
With Qi An's eyesight, he could still see far away in the starless and moonless night, and his eyes penetrated through the cover of the woods, and Qi An saw a huge black shadow moving slowly in the distance, with a length of more than one zhang and a height of nearly one zhang, and he was on all fours, resembling a black-haired bear.
"Could this be the Ape-headed Ironback?"
Qi An's pupils shrank, and he immediately retreated silently, and quickly returned to everyone's side, not bothering or not, he patted them on the shoulder to wake them up, and pointed in the direction where the black-haired bear was found, and said very quietly: "Ape-headed iron-backed bear." ”
At this time, even the Qidao people at the top of the stone wall spotted the ape-headed iron-backed bear, and quickly turned over and slipped down, and also followed Qi An in the same direction.
Yan Biao immediately made a decision and said to the experienced veterans: "Hurry up and set a trap, and then lure the ape-headed ironback bear over to kill!"
Qi An and Qi Daoren continued to watch the movements of the Ape Head Ironback Bear, and the others placed traps under the instructions of Yan Biao and Wang Dongsheng, due to the rush of time, they could only arrange some relatively simple traps, mainly trapped, most of the killing traps were likely to be useless against the Ape Head Ironback Bear, and its defense was helpless even with ordinary low-level attack magic weapons.
Wang Dongsheng carefully took out a bottle, poured the black-brown slime with a strange smell on his axe blade evenly, handed the remaining bit to Yan Biao, and said very solemnly: "This is the venom that Wang Mou got at a great price, and the top-level beast demon can't bear it, so you quickly wipe a little on the tip of your spear." ”
"I knew that you kid must be prepared!" Yan Biao took it with a smile, and dripped the residual venom in the bottle on the tip of the Killing Beast Spear with great care like Wang Dongsheng, and the strange smell even covered up the bloody smell of the Killing Beast Spear.
After all the preparations are completed, she wants to lure the ape-headed iron-backed bear over, this kind of thing was originally done by Yan Suqing in Yan Biao's demon slaying team, but this time the target is the ape-headed iron-backed bear, her flying knife is completely unable to cause damage to the ape-headed iron-backed bear with thick skin, I'm afraid it's like tickling, the other party doesn't pay attention to it at all, so Yan Biao had to look at the Qidao people and whispered: "Trouble Brother Qidao to use the talisman to lure that animal over." ”
When they all arrived at this place and saw the final goal, the Qidao people didn't care about a talisman anymore, they immediately nodded, approached the ape-headed iron-backed bear, and then took out a fire talisman and sacrificed it, turning it into a dazzling firelight, and flying towards the ape-headed iron-backed bear from a distance of hundreds of zhang.
The ape-headed iron-backed bear was facing sideways at that time, and his eyes were attracted by the firelight flying through the sky and turned his head, Qi An happened to see the face of this huge beast demon through the firelight, not like a bear, but like an ape, no wonder it is called "ape head". As for the "iron back", if you look closely, you will find that the back hair of this beast demon is sparse, and there are signs of keratinization, such as slashing with a weapon, it will be bounced away, making a sound of hitting a hard object, this is the origin of the name of the ape-headed ironback bear, and its back is also the most defensive part of its body.
I don't know if it was because the ape-headed ironback bear was slow to react or too bulky and inflexible, but it didn't avoid this fire, and the fire charm exploded directly on its shoulder, turning into flames and burning. The ape-headed ironback let out an angry roar, and with a slap of its thick arm, the flames that had just risen were extinguished, and there was no obvious damage to the part of the attack.
The ape-headed ironback bear spotted the attacker, the Gidao man, roared again, spread his four thick legs and feet, and rushed towards the Gidao man with a mountain of momentum, knocking down countless earth, rocks and trees along the way, making a rumbling sound, and the whole ground seemed to tremble with its running.
The Qidao people hurriedly retreated, leading the Ape-headed Ironback Bear into the ambush circle, and everyone in the rear watched nervously at the huge figure of the Ape-headed Iron-backed Bear rushing towards him, and they all tightened their weapons.
Yan Biao and the others prepared two traps, one is a net, and the other is a ground nail, but these traps are used to deal with low-level and middle-level beast demons, and it is not known whether it has any effect on the top-level beast demons, it is likely to be completely useless, or they need to rely on the joint efforts of everyone to besiege and kill, so Yan Biao They don't have much hope for the trap, try it for the time being, it's better than nothing.
