Chapter 170: Encounter
Saleen and Lin An walked through the jungle leading from the entrance to the interior of the mountain range. 「」
This is already the middle of the entire island, and it is very close to the source of the demon, and even if you don't sit down to meditate, you can clearly feel that the concentration of elements around it is more than twice as high as it is by the sea.
The day and night of this plane fragment are almost indistinguishable, and the four seasons must not be obvious.
However, when viewed from below, the vegetation on the mountain still seems to be distributed according to the latitude of plants unique to the high mountains.
At the foot of the mountain are mostly rainforest plants covered with an oily layer, and both the rhizomes, branches and leaves are obviously huge.
The humus in the forest is like half-dry mud, and if you step on it, you will sink into half of your heels.
Lin An and Salin walked one after the other, guarding against snakes that suddenly fell from tree branches, and reptiles that suddenly turned into a gecko-like crawler after stepping on their tails, which they thought were dead branches under their feet.
Their location should be considered a canyon from the topography.
"Salin, that's not right, there seems to be something wrong here."
After entering the canyon for a short distance, Lin An stopped and called Salin, who was walking in front of him.
As she spoke, she waved her hand and sprinkled a piece of powder, the pale red powder happened to form a three-meter diameter circle around her, and the moist and rotten air around her became dry and clean.
Salin was stunned for a moment, then stopped, and his eyes became clear after a trance. 「」
There was some movement in his right sleeve, and Lin An knew that he had already taken out the repeating hand crossbow, and at the same time, Salin quickly approached Lin An and entered the circle surrounded by powder.
"The smell of this forest is a little abnormal."
After removing the damp and rancid smell, Lin An smelled a faint sweet smell hidden underneath, and after they stopped, the surroundings were a little strangely quiet, as if only their breath was left.
A hint of discoloration flashed in Lin An's eyes. Approaching Salin gently, she leaned into his arms as if afraid, grabbed the robe on his chest with one hand, and swiped her fingers over his chest.
Salin was only surprised for a moment, but quickly reacted, and cooperatively reached out to wrap his arms around her slender waist, taking advantage of the momentum to deflect his body slightly, and looked at where she was pointing.
He couldn't help but constrict.
"Get down!"
As Lin An shouted loudly in his ears, a scorching flame rose around them, seemingly draining the breathable gas in an instant.
A scream of pain and anger sounded overhead!
The crisis comes from above!
Linked to what Yu Guang had just seen. Saleen already knew what was above his head.
He raised his hand and shot a crossbow arrow, not looking at the result. "" Hugged Lin An and rolled on the spot, but he was still drenched on the corners of his robe by some dark green body fluids sprinkled on his head, quickly corroding into small holes.
Salin turned his back to the attack and couldn't see it, but Lin An, who was in his arms, clearly saw that the attacker had been burned by the flames. And Salin's blow happened to tear through the attacker's fat belly.
The attacker lost contact with the tree branch above his head and fell heavily to the ground. There was a snapping sound.
But Lin An's face was tighter, and the surrounding forest sounded a hissing sound of mouthparts rubbing.
"-Damn! It's a swarm of spiders! Come on!!! ”
"Get out of the way!" Saleen said hurriedly.
Dense shadows surrounded them, and Lin An quickly threw a few handfuls of incendiary powder towards the place where the hissing was most dense, and ran in the direction they came from.
The flames exploded behind them, and the surrounding cotchs retreated, screaming in rage.
In the run, Saleen moved back to take the lead. Instead, he took Lin An's hand and half-dragged her, striding forward.
Before escaping the canyon, all he remembered was the hissing that was getting closer and closer in his ears, and the chirping that later seemed to be a little abnormal.
"Let go!"
Treading water and running through a stream that just barely reached the surface of your feet, the view was brightened by the lack of shade from the trees. 「」
The two threw themselves on a smooth boulder by the stream. All are exhausted and have uneven breath.
I don't know if it's intentional or not. Salin seemed to be extremely tired, and suddenly fell to the ground, and Lin An was almost crushed under him.
Lin An pushed him aside in annoyance, struggled to get up, and looked in the direction of the rainforest.
"Why are you stopping me from setting fire to the forest?"
Wheezing evenly, Salin turned over, supported his upper body with one hand, and looked at Lin An's back.
The snow-white skin on his bare slender neck somehow reminded him of the soft touch in his hand when he dragged her away just now.
After the powerful stimulation, the body involuntarily gets excited.
Salin felt a slight heat in his body.
"You can't burn in the rainforest with that burning powder. Don't worry, though, the spiders won't chase them out. ”
After waiting for a while, Lin An said, as if absent-minded.
At this time, her spirit was still immersed in the atmosphere of killing, and she stayed in the rainforest to let go of Titi, who was restraining and sucking the flesh and soul of life, and raised a bloody storm among the spiders.
Its spirit kept screaming and leaping, and shared the thrill of killing with its only closest friend, Lin An. 「」
"What are you thinking?"
Salin got up and came to Lin An's back, one step away, close enough to see the fine pale white fluff on her pale pink earlobes.
"I'm thinking about what just happened."
Salin's eyes were slightly solemn, and he remembered the two dried corpses he had just seen on the top of the tree that had been fished by spider silk, and the appearance had long since been shriveled and could not be seen as it was.
"It seems that Ling's detection method is flawed."
Saleen also knew what was wrong.
Lin An was responsible for guiding and detecting all the way, and they had never encountered an accident like this.
Lin An smiled bitterly.
Just now they broke into the territory of the spider colony, those spiders should be the magical beasts that coexist with this rainforest, although the plant perception is aware of their existence, but perhaps because the symbiosis of the spider colony is not harmful to the plants, she does not feel the dangerous breath of the spider colony.
So although he was aware of the spider swarm, Lin An thought it was just an ordinary spider swarm and not a demon spider, until he saw the two dried corpses hanging in the air.
"I can't see the images directly, so I don't know the preservation of the two bodies, otherwise ......," she guessed, Salin probably had also observed some clues, so she simply explained.
Although the range of plant perception is very large, it cannot image everything within the range and reflect it into her spirit, but only indirectly judge and speculate through the traces left on some plants. 「」
The two dried corpses were hung from the branches of the tree by the spider swarm with spider silk. There was no contact with other plant entities, so before seeing it with his own eyes, Lin An didn't even notice the preservation of the dried corpse at all.
In the spirit, the spider swarm was slaughtered by Titi and fled, and Lin An could stop and call Titi back.
There was a flicker of sensitivity in her afterglow, and she suddenly jerked in one direction, raising her hand and shooting out a frost ray.
"Who!"
"What?!"
At the same time as Lin An, a black figure jumped out of the shadows, carrying flying branches and leaves. Rolling and fluttering, as if something was chasing behind him.
"Stop! Stop it! I have no ill will! I'm a Terran participant—"
The shadow screamed urgently. Speaking in a sharp voice that could not distinguish between men and women, he tread a strange pattern under his feet, writhing from side to side, running in a direction away from them.
It's like a wolf, but it feels like it's at ease.
Lin An did not pause. Indifferently speculating on the direction of the black shadow's irregular movements, the spell was fired back and forth. The zigzag shoots back and forth, with only one ice flower blooming on the back of the black shadow.
Lin An was surprised by this hit rate.
"His pace creates visual misalignment."
Salin said coldly, staring at the black shadow with sharp eyes, looking for an opportunity, while pulling Lin An back behind a large rock that could be used as cover.
"Beware of accomplices." He said.
The black shadow was chirping, very noisy, and people couldn't help but be irritable. But it was the two mages who wanted his life, calm as a sniper before shooting, and with coordination, the spell reduced his space of movement step by step.
"Don't you want to know how to enter the mountain or the other participants——! The shadow cried.
Lin An'an stopped suddenly, but Salin on the side suddenly shot a crossbow arrow.
The shadow breathed a sigh of relief. When Xinli was not born, he was caught by an arrow in the cold. There was a gurgle in his throat, and he immediately softened without a sound.
The poison on the Salin arrow, with the resistance of the demons, is immune.
Lin An frowned and glanced at Salin, who smiled at her absently.
The value of the dead is not worth her turning on Saleen.
Lin An glanced at Salin lightly warningly, and wanted to recall Titi, but suddenly remembered something, and was shocked, and pinched the spell to release the spell.
"Ahh
Another ice flower bloomed on the black clothes, and Huo Ran, who thought he was dead, deceived the corpse, turned around before the ray was headed, and actually dodged the blow to the head, and then a huge cloud of white smoke exploded on his body, covering the surrounding radius of more than ten meters, making it impossible to see where he was.
The bolts had clearly hit the man's arm, but he was immune to the toxins on it?
Lin An frowned slightly, and Titi took advantage of the grass cover to sneak into the smoke.
Saleen was on the alert.
There was a muffled grunt from the smoke, and the black shadow fell out, more wolf than before, but still not dead.
Lin An's eyes darkened, this person was able to dodge Titi's repeated attacks, and he was a great threat to her, and she must not stay!
Her eyes flashed fiercely.
Saleen suddenly pressed her down so hard that it was all over her, as if he had covered them with something.
Lin An's vision instantly darkened, and he heard an explosion close at hand.
It was as if someone had placed a million-equivalent explosive charge on a boulder in front of them, and a trench had cracked in the ground beneath them.
The explosion rushed out, and Lin An only felt a strong press, as if to squeeze out all the gas in her chest, and her head was buzzing.
Salin on his body seemed to snort, but Lin An didn't hear it clearly.
However, the spiritual connection between her and Titi was not broken, and at this moment she finally really pierced the other party's body-
"Stop!"
Someone was screaming in his ear, as small as a mosquito, Lin An didn't realize that this was actually the other party using communication techniques to speak loudly.
Her eyes were bloodshot, her mind was a little blurred by lack of oxygen and concussion, and there was only one thought in her heart—
Kill him!
“…… Otherwise I'll kill this man! ”
The mosquito screamed again.
Lin An suddenly stopped. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the Biquge www.biquge.info (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, your support is my biggest motivation. )
