Chapter 3: Crisis
After the two of them had eaten, they didn't dare to delay for a moment, after all, what happened just now was just a little episode today, and it was not worth caring about the two of them at all.
"Ling'er, the front is the entrance to the Lost Forest, this thing is for you. After speaking, Lu Yu handed something similar to a mask to Lin Ling.
"Mr. Lu Yu, what is this?" Lin Ling asked. The thing in front of you resembles a full-face mask, except that the area around the mouth is completely transparent, as if covered with some kind of crystal.
"This thing is a mask, the transparent spar you see on it is called the Awakening Stone, this lost forest is full of dense fog and miasma, after entering, the visibility is very low, it is easy to get lost, if you inhale the miasma again, you will be delirious or even comatose, naturally I don't need to say more, it is estimated that the two of us will become the bait of the demon beast." This is also the reason why most people who are not strong do not dare to enter the Misty Forest. It's not just because of the horror of the demon beast, in fact, the really terrible thing is the fog and miasma, I don't want us to give the lives of the two of us here. ”
Lin Ling didn't expect that as soon as he left the village, the first stop was the Misty Forest, which made countless people fearful.
As soon as the two of them entered the misty forest, a thick fog came to their faces, and the visibility was only about one meter in front of them, and what was waiting for the two of them in front of them, they didn't know at all, or they couldn't foresee it at all!
"Ling'er, wear a mask, try to minimize the frequency of breathing, and keep your attention highly focused, as far as I know, this forest is not very large, if nothing else, we should be able to go out before evening, don't be careless." Lu Yu said with a solemn expression.
Unexpectedly, as the tutor of the First Academy of the Continent, he didn't dare to slack off on the Lost Forest, so Lin Ling naturally didn't dare to underestimate it, so he hurriedly put on a mask and followed Lu Yu towards the depths of the forest.
The effect of the mask was immediately apparent, and in the face of the dense fog in front of him, with the filtration and help of the Awakening Stone, the visibility was greatly improved, and a range of about 10 meters could be seen, and the air was much better. But the two of them still didn't dare to relax for a moment, after all, there were still those unknown demon beasts waiting for them lurking somewhere, only 10 meters of visibility, with the speed of the demon beast, maybe the next step was not stepped out, and the demon beast wiped their necks. Thinking of this, a cold sweat broke out behind Lin Ling, no wonder this lost forest makes people talk about the tiger's color, the slightest negligence here will cost him his life, the Star Continent is indeed full of dangers, no wonder his father told him to be careful in everything before leaving, it seems that the road in the future is not easy to walk!
The two of them walked forward step by step, although the time was pressing, they did not dare to speed up their pace, and were very careful.
"Ling'er, be careful! There seems to be something ahead. Lu Yu raised his vigilance: "I have opened my star soul power since I entered the forest, and I kept probing forward, I feel that something is moving rapidly in front of me, but it has been moving around you and me!!"
"What?centered on you and me?Mr. Lu Yu, we won't be targeted by any demon beasts, right?" Lin Ling said: "According to common sense, when a demon beast finds that a human has entered the forest, as long as it has the opportunity, it should immediately attack, right, why does this guy keep wandering around the two of us but not attacking us?"
"I don't know about this, maybe it's because I don't think it's strong enough to fight the two of us. That's why they didn't dare to attack rashly. Lu Yu said: "I hope that it will leave by itself, lest the two of us make a move, if we do it here, the physical exertion will be too great, the breathing rate will inevitably increase, and if we inhale too much miasma, if we are unconscious here, the two of us will really die here." ”
"Mr. Lu Yu, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not. ”
"When is it, the safety of the two of us is the most important thing! If there is anything to say, as long as it is beneficial to the current situation, what do you think, say it quickly. I don't want to have any trouble here, let alone my own safety, if you have three longs and two shorts, I don't know how to explain to the old fellow of the village chief. ”
"I think maybe this monster beast is just testing the strength of the two of us, and maybe, it's not necessarily waiting for a companion. Lin Ling's expression was solemn.
"Hehe, why are you so pessimistic at a young age. Lu Yu smiled bitterly: "However, to be honest, I really hope that your judgment is wrong."
About half an hour or so passed, and nothing happened, just like just now, this demon beast had been moving at a certain distance from Lin Ling and Lu Yu.
"Ling'er be careful!" Lu Yu exclaimed: "The number of demon beasts is increasing, hehe, it seems that you kid is really right, this guy is really cautious, it seems that he has been waiting for the support of other demon beasts!"
"Mr. Lu Yu, what should we do now?, shall we continue to move forward?" Lin Ling asked.
"Don't panic, we don't know what kind of demon beast the other party is, what level it is, let's rest here first, the enemy doesn't move, I don't move, now we can only respond to all changes with the same." ”
The demon beasts are getting closer and closer to the two, unlike just now, they have been keeping a distance from the two, on the contrary, they are rapidly approaching, Lu Yu can surmise with the perception of star soul power that the number of demon beasts is about 30, and a bitter battle is about to begin.
In the blink of an eye, the group of demon beasts came to the two of them. This group of demon beasts looks similar to wolves in appearance, but the difference from wolves is that they only have one fang, but they have a lot more fangs than normal wolves, their eyes are blood-red, their whole body is covered with pitch-black animal hair, and their tails have two tails. Just looking at this appearance, it is not a good type.
"Lone fang, twin-tailed beast! I didn't expect that not long after entering this forest, I would encounter such a difficult bone, Ling'er, give me a 12-point spirit, it seems that this battle is not easy!" Lu Yu said.
Lone fang, twin-tailed beast: A monster beast equivalent to the level of a human star controller, never haunts alone, and lives in groups. Generally follow the leader in and out, very organized, individual combat ability is not strong, single attack skills are single, but whenever there is prey, most groups move, the ability to move at high speed, plus sharp fangs and the advantage of numbers, is really a headache.
"Ling'er, so far, there are some things I can't help but say, in fact, the first time we met in Starlight Village, I learned that you are the son of the Shaking Light Star Breaking Army, as the inheritor of the orthodox Shaking Light Star power, presumably your father should have taught you a lot of things, I hope you don't hide anything from me, after all, life safety comes first now, I'm not good at hand-to-hand combat, but this one-fanged twin-tailed beast is a good hand in hand-to-hand combat, I need you to support me, contain me in front, try not to let me be attacked in close quarters, and leave the output to me." 。 Do you think it's good?" Lu Yu said.
"Okay, Mr. Lu Yu, to be honest, I have cultivated the Star Catching Technique taught by my father to the Nian Star Rank Star, and I have about the strength of the 5th Star Spirit Envoy, according to what you just said, the single strength of the Lone Horn Twin-Tailed Beast should not be strong, if you don't fight hard with it, it shouldn't be a problem as a containment, just do as you say." ”
After speaking, Lu Yu took out two pills from his pocket and handed them to Lin Ling.
"Ling'er, this is the Soul Power Pill and the Strength Pill, which can improve the recovery of your star soul power and physical strength in a short period of time, remember, you can only contain it, you can't fight hard with it, saving your life is the most important thing. ”
"Don't worry, sir. I'm not going to disgrace my father. Lin Ling took the pill, gathered the star soul power in his legs and hands, and rushed into the herd
Seeing that the prey took the initiative to attack, the one-fanged twin-tailed beast couldn't hold it back, after all, it was a demon beast, and in the face of prey and blood, it would always become extremely irritable and face Lin Ling.
Seeing that the two sides were fighting, Lu Yu took out a wooden tripod from his pocket, put the wooden tripod on the ground, and sat cross-legged next to the wooden tripod, clasped his hands together, and read in his mouth: "Tianji stars move, the star soul turns nine times, the soul power is condensed, and the poisonous dragon is born." ”
After reciting the incantation, Mu Ding immediately changed, Mu Ding slowly changed from the initial brown to turquoise, and wisps of turquoise poisonous smoke rose from the tripod, floating towards Lin Ling and the beasts.
The venomous dragon descends. The alchemist's intermediate magic, with the power of the Dimensity Star, sucks air into the wooden tripod, and then refines the Dimensity Star soul power into poisonous gas to attack the enemy.
The poisonous dragon floated towards the herd of beasts, and it immediately worked, and the speed of the demon beast that inhaled the poisonous gas immediately became sluggish, and its eyes turned from the initial blood red to green, and black blood flowed from the corners of its mouth, which was a sign of poisoning. In the blink of an eye, five or six demon beasts had been killed, and the poisonous gas was still spreading.
"Ling Er, take this medicine!" Lu Yu threw a pill at Lin Ling and said: "This is the Heart Protection Pill, eating it can temporarily cut off your sense of smell, and the star soul power will replace breathing to supply oxygen to the heart and brain, and you must not inhale the poisonous gas, otherwise your life will be in danger." ”
Lin Ling took the pill, didn't dare to delay for a moment, hurriedly swallowed it, and continued to fight with the one-fanged twin-tailed beast.
I thought that it would only be a matter of time before the two-tailed beast herd continued according to this method, but who knew that at this moment, a gust of wind struck, blowing away all the poisonous gas that had just spread to the beast herd, Lin Ling found that the situation was wrong, and immediately retreated to Lu Yu's side, and the strange thing was that the beast herd did not continue to launch a follow-up attack on Lin Ling, and also stopped the offensive, standing in place, motionless, as if waiting for something.
The herd made way for a passage through which a larger, one-fang, twin-tailed beast emerged. Different from other demon beasts, the fangs of this one-fanged two-tailed beast were sharper, and there was a pinch of white beast hair between the ears on its head, and what shocked Lin Ling and Lu Yu even more was that the tail of this one-tailed two-tailed beast was different from other demon beasts, not two, but three tails!!
"Three-Tailed Demon Beast King, I can't imagine that in this small misty forest, there are demon beasts that can break through the level and cultivate to become the Beast King," Lu Yu said: "Ling'er, it seems that we have died nine times today!"
