Chapter 020: Entering the Wolf's Den by Mistake
The stone bridge spanning both sides of the Chisha River was about ten zhang long, and when Lu Ping'an stopped grabbing the stones, Chen Hao had already driven the battle puppet to the middle of the bridge.
Woohoo!
Finally, Chen Hao was in a state of almost torment, waiting for Lu Ping'an's attack, and saw the latter use both hands and throw the stones piled in front of him one by one.
"Hahahaha!
While laughing, Chen Hao moved his left index finger lightly, erected the Xuantie armor on the turtle's back, and blocked it in front of him to defend.
Immediately after, the thumbs of his two hands suddenly exerted force, and as the machine bracket moved, he saw the puppet's human head split into two halves from the middle, and a crossbow arrow the size of a fist slowly stretched out from it.
Although puppetry is a branch of alchemy, it can in turn draw on the strengths of various schools, and as long as the technology allows, it is theoretically possible to equip any magic weapon inside the puppet.
Although the crossbow arrow hidden inside the ghost horn is of ordinary material, it is made of the silk of the golden-eyed tarantula with its bowstring.
The golden-eyed sky tarantula is a low-grade yellow-ranked, but it can hunt and kill the high-grade spirit beasts of the yellow-level high-grade, or even the lower-grade spirit beasts of the Xuan-rank.
The refiners took advantage of this property of the golden-eyed tarantula, and the bowstring refined from its spider silk could increase the power of the crossbow tenfold, or even a hundredfold.
And this arrow shot by the ghost horn is powerful enough to penetrate the city wall, and only a strong person who has cultivated to reach the Yuanwu realm can carry it down with the majestic aura to defend the wall.
Chen Hao began to continuously inject spiritual energy into the bowstring through the two puppet wires connected to the crossbow machine in the ghost horn's body, at this time, as long as his taut two thumbs loosened slightly, the next moment, Lu Ping'an would be pierced by the crossbow arrow and killed on the spot.
However, in order to ensure the power of the crossbow arrow, Chen Hao did not fire it immediately.
It was this momentary delay that made him miss the opportunity to kill Lu Ping'an.
"Huh, is this guy crazy?"
Just as Chen Hao was about to fire the crossbow arrow, he was surprised to find that Lu Ping'an did not attack him with stones, but smashed them on the bridge deck on the left and right sides with extremely regular landing.
"What, you can't figure it out, can you?" Lu Ping'an kept the action of throwing stones, and said to Chen Hao with the corners of his mouth raised, "Remember, you barbarian and contemptible, this is called resonance!"
"What......? What's going on!"
At the same time as Lu Ping'an said this, Chen Hao suddenly felt that the bridge deck under the puppet began to shake up and down.
Crash!
Before he could react, he saw that the originally solid stone bridge had no warning, and it collapsed in an instant!
Chen Hao and his people took the puppet and the fallen stone bricks around them and fell towards the fast-flowing Chisha River.
When a large number of people walk across the bridge in unison, if the frequency generated is consistent with the natural frequency of the bridge itself, the vibration of the bridge body will be strengthened.
When the amplitude increases to a certain extent, the bridge will inevitably break.
It was according to this principle that Lu Ping'an used the stones that were smashed on the bridge deck with spiritual energy to replace the walking crowd, and then destroyed the solid stone bridge.
Indeed, in terms of realm cultivation, the current Lu Ping'an is still far from Chen Hao.
However, the victory or defeat of the actual battle does not only depend on the level of cultivation of both sides, but also on many other factors.
The stone bridge collapsed, the Onihorn lost its balance, and the long-stored crossbow bolt finally missed the opposite bank.
"Lu Ping'an! you wait! I, Chen Hao, swear to kill you!" Chen Hao shouted hysterically before falling into the Chisha River.
Although he can step on a stone and jump onto the riverbank, for a puppeteer, the special puppet must not be lost, and he can only fall into the river with the ghost horn and be swept away by the torrent.
Thump!
It wasn't until Chen Hao disappeared from view that Lu Ping'an's hand attached to the bridge section was released, and he also fell into the Chisha River.
There was no way, he had been running wildly for more than ten miles in a row just now, and he had been injured by the lightning explosion technique in the spell scroll before, and he had already exhausted his strength.
In fact, it is already a miracle that he can survive Chen Hao's pursuit.
Lu Ping'an's consciousness gradually blurred, and finally fell into a coma, floating down the rolling river.
When he opened his eyes again, it was completely dark.
"Hiss......"
Lu Ping'an tried to move his hands and feet, although the pain was unbearable, but this was also good news, at least his arms and legs were not gnawed by the big fish in the river.
It was cloudy tonight, the moon was being covered by clouds, and Lu Ping'an couldn't see his surroundings clearly.
However, based on the familiar smell of rotting leaves in the air, as well as the sound of birds, beasts and insects everywhere, he guessed that he must have been washed into some tributary of the Chisha River and drifted into the Daxu Mountains.
After relieving for a while, the pain on Lu Ping'an's body weakened a lot, and he climbed to the shore with difficulty, and while listening carefully, he turned on the phagocytosis system to investigate.
What he is most worried about now is that Chen Hao and himself were washed into the same tributary, if the two of them met again in this deep mountain and old forest, then he would only have to be slaughtered.
Fortunately, after the devouring system was turned on, no Terran bloodline source was found nearby.
"The fourth scan is complete, and the nearby Qui wolf bloodline has been newly detected.
Bloodline grade: Yellow rank lower grade.
Spirit Beast Core Grade: Yellow Rank Lower Grade.
Assimilation side effects: moderate.
System advice: Devour with caution. ”
As Lu Ping'an kept walking, the detection area also changed, and finally, when the fourth scan was performed, a new discovery was made in the phagocytosis system.
"The wolf is not difficult to deal with, you don't want its bloodline, just the spirit core. Lu Ping'an nodded lightly and said to himself.
He went out of the city to come to Daxu Mountain to experience, although there were some twists and turns during the period, but the purpose was achieved.
After searching in the mountains and forests for a while, Lu Ping'an finally heard the chewing sound of the carnivorous spirit beast inside gnawing on its prey outside a cave, presumably this was the lair of the Kui wolf.
Although it is a spirit beast of the lower grade of the Yellow Rank, but the combat power of the Kui Wolf is far inferior to that of the King Kong Ape of the Rank, Lu Ping'an is not afraid at all, and walks straight into the cave, ready to kill the beast and take the core.
However, he had only walked a few steps before he was stupid.
At this time, in the dark cave, more than a dozen pairs of blood-red beast eyes were staring straight at him.
"Oops!"
Lu Ping'an's brain buzzed, and he remembered that Kui Wolf was a social spirit animal, and his heart said that this is the end!
