The mountains are high and the forests are dense, and it has just rained, and the woods are filled with the smell of earth, but this can't hide the very obvious smell of blood, and the two of them can easily find the source of the smell of blood by following the taste.

The closer she got there, the harder Li Qingyu's heart beat harder, it was a kind of depression and trembling from the depths of her soul, as if there was her natural enemy in front of her, and she had already sensed the impending danger before she had met.

The natural predator of the spirits of plants and trees?

While moving forward, Li Qingyu thought about this question in his heart.

Plants and animals are different, there will be no natural behavior such as lions fighting rabbits, let alone the difference between meat and herbivore, it stands to reason that there is no such thing as "natural enemies", and there will be no blood coercion similar to spirit animals, she will have such a feeling that it is not common sense at all, but her current heartbeat cannot be faked, and all doubts can only be attributed to the source of the sense of danger that has not yet appeared.

After walking forward for about a kilometer, Li Qingyu, who was overwhelmed by that abnormal feeling, could no longer take a step forward, leaning against the trunk of a big tree with a pale face and gasping, his eyes staring at the dense forest in front of him were full of fear.

Unlike Li Qingyu, Yu Chen didn't feel anything at all from beginning to end except for smelling blood, so he couldn't understand how she was feeling now, at first he thought it was just Ah Li's premonition, but now her appearance is really a little scary.

"How are you? Can you feel what's up ahead? ”

Li Qingyu leaned against the big tree and took several deep breaths without adjusting his breathing, there was no way to speak, he could only shake his head and say that he didn't know what was in front of him, and then Shen Nian said: "I can't go any further, just wait for you here, you go and see what is there, and then come back to me, be careful yourself." ”

Yu Chen looked at her painful appearance and had the thought of "Otherwise, I still won't watch it", but in the end, the curiosity in my heart overcame him. So he said, "Then you stay here and don't run around, I'll go and see and come back." "There's nothing else around here except plants and a few small bugs, and it shouldn't be dangerous for Ali to stay here, so he can go and get back as quickly as he can.

Li Qingyu nodded and waved his hand to signal that he could go.

Yu Chen saw that she was fine except that her face was not very good, so he turned around and quickly rushed towards the source of the smell of blood, and disappeared into the woods in two or three seconds.

Seeing him walk away, Li Qingyu sat on a tree root three feet high with his back against the big tree, and used his spiritual power to resolve the unknown pressure, and after two or three weeks, his heartbeat was not as fast as just now, and after another week. She moved her hands and feet, and found that she seemed to have regained her mobility, so she stood up and prepared to move another place to rest, and near the place where she was now standing there was a small puddle full of dead branches and leaves, and there might be some small animal corpses in it, and a faint putrid smell kept burrowing into her nose to make her a little sick to her stomach, and it was simply self-abuse to continue to stay here.

But as soon as she stood up straight, she lost her vision as if someone had covered her with a thick black veil, and then she felt her brain sink and knew nothing after that.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

From where Li Qingyu stopped, he walked forward for about two or three miles. Yu Chen finally felt a little bit of coercion at the level of the divine soul, but it was only a little feeling, it didn't affect his actions at all, and he walked forward for more than ten meters. He found that there were faint reddish-brown traces on the wet soil on the ground, and if he looked closely, it was supposed to be left by blood penetration.

It seems that the destination is not far away.

Thinking so, Yu Chen took out the Chang Geng umbrella and held it in his left hand, and pinched the spirit trick in his right hand just in case. It's no longer as fast as just now, but a step-by-step exploration ahead.

The trail of blood just now was like a dividing line, and the forest after that was like a hurricane. Many thigh-thick tree trunks were broken from the trees and fell to the ground, blocking in front of the road that there was no road, Yu Chen looked up and found that the canopy of this forest was destroyed and he could already see a large blue sky, and he didn't know how the culprit caused all this was done.

After bypassing these branches, he walked some distance forward, and looking at the scene in front of him, Yu Chen felt that he could stop there.

Several ancient trees that could only be hugged by four or five people were cut off and fell aside, looking like they were broken by something, and the part of the tree that fell to the ground also left a deep trace, and a few spikes as thick as his calf pierced the part that left the traces, and the exposed parts of those spikes possessed some blood, if it wasn't for the smell of blood, the bright color of the fine red dye would only make him think that it was the color of the spikes themselves.

The one that can cause such a result must be two or even more giant beasts, the kind that can kill him with a single claw according to the body size, although one of them was seriously injured, but because he did not lose his ability to move, judging from the remaining spiritual power fluctuations in the air, those giant beasts are likely to be spirit beasts, even if they do not have the strength of transformation, they should not be underestimated, if he rashly mixes in, he may be injured.

But he didn't stop in the end, because he saw a small pond in front of him, the water in the pond was a very bright red, and it looked the same color as the blood on the spike, so it seemed that the owner of the spike should be seriously injured, and even the most powerful spirit beast could not recover in a short time. With this in mind, he took a slight detour towards the "little pond".

Bypassing a large tree that had been damaged but fortunately not broken, Yu Chen finally saw the owner of the spike.

This is a spirit beast that looks like a giant porcupine, but its body is not as bulky as a porcupine, but more like a wolf, covered with blue-black spikes, but the spikes on its abdomen are slightly lighter in color, and it doesn't look as hard as the spikes on its back.

The "porcupine" had its eyes closed and motionless, and it looked like it had lost its life, and on closer inspection, something had carved a large hole in its abdomen, revealing its bright red entrails, from which the blood of the "little pool" had flowed.

Yu Chen leaned out his mind and carefully investigated the "porcupine", and found that it was indeed a lifeless corpse now, and then saw that there were no other animals around, so he dared to approach slowly.

When he got closer, he saw that the "porcupine" had a pair of huge three-foot-long fangs growing from its mouth, one of which had been broken and the severed part was missing, and the other fangs had a dull yellow piece of minced flesh hanging from it, which looked like a part of the body of its opponent who had killed him. On the ground, in addition to the bright blood of the "porcupine", there is also a dark red and purple blood, but the amount is far less than the bright red blood, and it is very thick, and it is not so conspicuous when mixed with the dark earth.

It seems that this "porcupine" should have only one opponent.

Yu Chen's gaze stopped for a long time on the large hole in the belly of the "porcupine", then he approached cautiously, picked at a few pieces of broken internal organs with a Chang Geng umbrella, and then saw the expected result - its spirit core was taken away by that opponent. The obvious traces of spiritual power proved it.

Since he was already dead, in the face of such good materials, Yu Chen naturally would not be polite, took out a short sword after putting away the Chang Geng umbrella, and began to divide the body of this "porcupine" unfamiliar but quickly, dismantling all the useful parts of its body and placing them aside, ready to wait for further processing and then take it away.

Half an hour later, a giant spirit beast was dismembered by him in this way, and it was completely impossible to see its original appearance, only the pile of spikes placed alone on the side could vaguely identify its original race.

The most useful part of the "porcupine" is this pile of spikes, the long ones can be used as long swords, and the short ones are as long as daggers, but they are softer, but they are much more flexible than long spikes.

The second is the pair of long fangs, the broken one is only half the length, but if it is put in the hands of the refiner, it is also a good material, and the intact one is even more so, even Yu Chen, who doesn't know much about refining weapons, knows that it can definitely become the main material of a spiritual weapon.

Then there is its pair of eyeballs, which look like a pair of blue-black crystal balls after peeling off the outer layer to leave the core, which is also a good refining material.

As for the broken and disfigured animal skins, he gathered them together, and a spirit weaver might be able to make a good piece of soft armor.

In the end, the largest area is the flesh and skeleton of the "porcupine", the flesh and blood are easy to handle, look at the meat quality is very good, it should be delicious to eat it, but this skeleton is a bit of a chicken rib, if you say take it to the refining weapon, he tried it with a short sword, the hardness is not enough at all, but after all, it is the skeleton of a spirit beast, and it seems to be a bit violent to throw it around, and finally it was slightly washed and put into the storage ring.

After disposing of the corpse of this spirit beast, Yu Chen sighed and felt that it was more tiring than fighting against people, but fortunately, he had gained a lot from picking up the leaks this time, and when he returned to Qiu Ling Mayang's side, he could exchange it for a lot of value, and he could be regarded as a full return.

After a final glance at the mess, Yu Chen didn't chase the traces left by the dark yellow flesh owner, turned around and hurried back. Although he really wanted to know what the spirit beast that could kill this "porcupine" looked like, but after obtaining its spirit core, that spirit beast should be greatly strengthened, even if the wounds on his body have not healed, it is not easy to match, Li Qingyu is still waiting for him in place, he has no time to entangle with a big guy with unknown strength now, and it is the wisest choice to accept it when he sees it.

The speed of walking back was much faster than when he came, and with the familiar terrain of returning the same way, it only took Yu Chen one-third of the time he came to return to the place where he had been separated.

But Li Qingyu, who was supposed to be waiting here, disappeared-
