Chapter 37: Anomaly
Ever since Jian Wendao revealed such a hand of strengthening, Dahe's choice was much bolder. The targets of the jump in the past few days are all spirit beasts that are extremely difficult to deal with but have high returns. It's a pity that I haven't even encountered a fire-type spirit beast.
After leaving the Blood Crown Forest, this hunting operation has also passed the halfway point, but he has not yet encountered a fire-type spirit beast. In order not to disappoint the two bosses, Dahe decided to temporarily reroute to the gathering place of fire-type spirit beasts, Red Fall Mountain.
According to the records of Tsukimori Castle, hundreds of years ago, there was a meteorite carrying a large amount of spiritual energy that fell on the Red Meteor Mountain, causing an earth-shattering forest fire. The fire burned everything on the mountain. Since then, the environment of the Red Fall Mountain has changed rapidly, and all the creatures on the mountain have turned into fire and have a strong aggressiveness, and even people who stay there for a long time will become inexplicably irritable and belligerent.
At the foot of the Red Fall Mountain, it was noon, outside the camp of the hunting team.
Seven or eight giant scorpions, the size of buffaloes and dressed in fiery red, were engaged in a fierce battle with the hunting party. Everyone's expressions were still so calm, but everyone's faces had to be a little tired. Since establishing a camp here, it has been constantly attacked by spirit beasts near the foot of the mountain. These guys appear almost every hour, leaving everyone unable to rest.
Although these fire scorpions are not poisonous and their combat power is quite average, their tails can shoot powerful flame rays that can easily penetrate everyone's armor. If you are accidentally shot, you will be severely burned.
After such a long period of spiritual breath control practice, his control over the flame aura had reached an extremely exaggerated level, although he had just risen to the eighth level of martial arts, he could easily be immune to the flame rays of these fifteen-fold fire scorpions.
The most well-known thing in the eyes of others seemed to him to be even unnecessary! With a slight wave of his hand, all the flame rays that shot at him would automatically disintegrate and revert to ordinary flame aura, and even if he was accidentally hit, it would only be a small piece of red, similar to being scalded by hot water.
"Scatter, scatter, scatter, scatter, scatter for me!" Jian Wen simply stood in place and specially disintegrated all the flame rays that were fired at them for the hunting team, the surrounding flame aura had been completely controlled by him, and the frequency of fire rays fired by the fire scorpion continued to decrease.
"Boss, hold on a little longer!we'll get it done right away!" Liu Yue turned back to the sword and smiled, turned around and jumped on one of the scorpions with a flying pounce. Poof! A sharp green and orange arrow pierced the tail of a scorpion and fixed it to the ground, and Wang Lao Er immediately surrounded it and smashed the scorpion's head with his giant shield.
"I didn't expect my control of the flame aura to reach this point. Jian Wendao sweated on his forehead, his hands were excited to open and tremble a little, and all the nearby flame aura was restrained by him, and the highly concentrated flame aura formed a large red mist that enveloped him. It was the first time he had controlled such a large amount of flame aura, although it was only a dozen seconds later, he could already feel that his brain was starting to get groggy and his control had decreased.
As a storm of arrows fell, Rong San and He Ba's joint efforts took the lives of all the scorpions. Jian Wendao took a deep breath, slowly let go of his control over the aura, and then sat on the ground and gasped for breath.
"Although the spirit beasts of the Red Fall Mountain have always been violent, they rarely take the initiative to leave their territory, could it be that something happened on the mountain?" Dahe looked at the Red Fall Mountain not far ahead, and was very puzzled.
"Isn't that good? We just have to wait at the bottom of the mountain, and those spirit beasts will automatically send them to the door. Boss Wang said with a smile.
"It's just a bit fast. Eizo smiled helplessly.
"Why don't we step back a bit?" Zhou Guang suggested tiredly. He couldn't bear this kind of continuous battle with an assassin-type warrior like Gao Zhu, and now he was so tired that he didn't want to move a finger.
The rest of the people nodded one after another, they didn't want to be interrupted by the intrusive spirit beast in the middle of their meal, this was too uncomfortable!
Sure enough, just after everyone had moved to the camp, another group of fire-type spirit beasts came! Dahe was the most concerned about this matter, and he was hiding on the side to monitor the movements of this group of spirit beasts.
"Huh, why do the eyes of this Flamehorn Deer glow red?" Taihe quickly noticed the problem, the Flamehorn Deer was gentle by nature and would only show its rampage when provoked, but now the red-eyed Flamehorn Deer were destroying everything around them like crazy.
Soon everything in front of him was in a sea of fire, the trees were staggered and ignited by the fire, and the red light in the eyes of the group of firehorned deer slowly faded after they were destroyed, and then they walked back and forth in confusion before walking back to the mountain. Dahe slapped his palm on the ground with a force, shaking up a large cloud of dust and splashing it into the sea of fire, and it took a while to extinguish the fire.
"Could it be that someone is planning some conspiracy?" Dahe felt that the red light was definitely not a natural formation, someone must have used some secret method to manipulate this group of out-of-control Yanhorn deer to attack them, and the previous waves of spirit beasts should be the same reason before they took the initiative to attack! But since this is the case, such a large group of spirit beasts can be controlled, why don't they come to attack with all the controlled spirit beasts at once? instead, let them come and send them one by one?
The price of the other party controlling so many spirit beasts must be very high, so what is his purpose?
With a long list of questions, Dahe returned to the camp, and after thinking about it, he still told the team members his thoughts and Jian Wendao followed Guan Xinlan. He needs the help of the crowd, although this is not the responsibility of the hunting party.
"Captain, let me investigate in the afternoon, right?" Gao Zhu took the initiative to stand up, "I can stealthily go deeper and see the situation inside." ”
"That's right, Yuesen City is our home! we can't let that guy mess around!" Zhou Guang nodded and said.
"Then I will pick you up at the bottom of the mountain with the second child!" Liu Yue said and looked at Wang Er, who also nodded in agreement.
"Okay, be careful. Dahe looked at the crowd with emotion, he thought that he was the only one willing to take care of this idle matter, after all, it was dangerous and unknown, and there was no reward. They go back and report back and let the people from the association investigate, and you have no problem at all.
But! This will delay for too long, and perhaps by the time the association's investigators arrive, the man has already moved his position in advance. Dahe felt that he must find out about this before going back!
"Controlling the spirit beast?It's so much fun!Did that person use a secret method or a life pretend?" Shangguan Xinlan still looked excited.
"Let's hope it can be stopped in time. Hearing this, Jian Wendao sighed and prayed silently. Now he also lives in Tsukimori Castle, which is also his home.
