Chapter 272: Beast Control Stone
The roar of the beast like thunder echoed across the empty basin.
The dense red obsidian leopard occupied most of the basin, and after a slight pause, they moved their limbs together, and slaughtered Lin Ze and the others with their teeth and claws, and the body composed of red spars galloped and galloped, as if an endless fiery red wave swept in, making many young warriors look pale.
Most of the obsidian leopards roared and attacked, but hundreds of them landed behind, guarding the entrance of the cave, as if to prevent them from escaping, seeing this, Lin Ze became more and more sure of his guess.
Taking advantage of the fact that the obsidian leopard had not yet attacked, he hurriedly whispered his guess to Lin Yingning beside him, the girl was stunned when she heard this, and after observing the performance of the obsidian leopards around her, she suddenly felt that Lin Ze's guess should be correct, thought about it and frowned: "It shouldn't be a human race, I haven't heard of anyone who can control a fierce beast, let alone such a large number of obsidian leopards." ”
"That means they have a leader-level beast behind them?"
“...... I'm not so sure. Lin Yingning smiled bitterly, she had never encountered such a thing.
Guo Xiaozhi said hurriedly: "Now is not the time to talk about this, there are too many red obsidian leopards, we have to find a way to escape!"
As he spoke, he threw a punch out and smashed a red obsidian leopard that had rushed to him.
The distance of more than 20 meters passed in an instant, and the dense red obsidian leopard finally attacked, and hit the people of the Firefox Village who formed a circle near the stone pier to protect themselves, the average strength of the latter was much stronger than that of the red obsidian leopard.
However, the red obsidian leopard in the rear was not afraid, and still rushed forward without fear of death, and under the countless fierce beasts one after another, the people of Firefox Village were like a light boat in a raging storm for a while, and they would capsize if they were not careful.
Seeing that the attack of the red leopard was becoming more and more fierce, and everyone was more and more difficult to resist, Lin Yingning took the time to look around, his eyes fell on the cave wall behind him, his eyes lit up, and he immediately shouted loudly:
"Retreat to the cave wall in the back and rely on the cave wall for defense!"
Sticking around the stone pier, they had to face the red obsidian leopards that were constantly attacking from all directions, but retreating to the front of the cave wall, the rear had no worries, and they only needed to defend the front three directions on the left and right, and the pressure would undoubtedly be much lessened.
Hearing this, the people of Firefox Village hurriedly responded, and while resisting the attack of the red obsidian leopard, they slowly moved in the direction of the cave wall.
As soon as they moved towards the entrance of the cave and tried to escape, the obsidian leopard would block them like crazy and force them back again, but this would cause them to retreat, and the obsidian leopard's reaction was not as fierce as before, but slowed down the attack, as if allowing them to retreat deeper into the basin.
Looking at this scene, Lin Yingning and the others' faces changed, and they couldn't see that this group of fierce beasts wanted to kill them here.
But knowing that with the strength of their team, if they want to break out of the encirclement of seven or eight hundred red obsidian leopards, the hope is very slim, not to mention that the driving force behind them has been hiding in the dark and has not shown up so far.
Among the group, only Lin Ze was still calm.
The current situation is far from a desperate situation for him, and if he does it with all his might, he will not need a quarter of an hour to destroy the obsidian leopard group in front of him, but in this way, the plan to hide his strength and slowly develop will be in vain, and it is better not to do it if he can.
Casually killing a red obsidian leopard with a wide mouth and sharp teeth bared, Lin Ze distracted part of his mind and sensed the aura around him.
The red obsidian leopard is formed by the mutation of the fire source stone, and the body is born with the breath of the fire source stone, which is mixed with the fire source stone breath in the mine, which is extremely difficult to distinguish, so that even if there is a giant red obsidian leopard hidden behind the more than ten holes around him, it is difficult for him to perceive it.
After perceiving the holes and finding nothing, Lin Ze's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, and a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes.
"In this case, you can only expose your strength. ”
Just as he was about to act, his expression suddenly moved.
In his perception, in the aura of the fire source stone that permeated all directions, a human breath suddenly appeared, which was extremely abrupt as standing out from the crowd.
The place where the breath was located was a hole more than thirty meters away on the right.
Lin Ze raised his eyebrows, thought for a few seconds, and said to Lin Yingning beside him: "I think I found the person who controlled the Red Obsidian Leopard." ”
Lin Yingning's forehead was already covered with a layer of fine sweat, and the wave after wave of attacks of the red obsidian leopard made her exhausted, and when she heard Lin Ze's words, she was stunned for a moment before she reacted: "People, it is the human race that controls these obsidian leopards?"
After being surprised, she looked overjoyed, and she didn't care to ask Lin Ze how she found it, and said in a loud voice: "Where? Let's catch him first and force him to disperse these obsidian leopards!"
Lin Ze quietly pointed out the location to her, and only then did he say: "There are many people who are inconvenient to move, you pretend to break through to the exit to attract the attention of the red obsidian leopard, but I will take the opportunity to rush to the entrance of the cave where the person is hiding." ”
"Are you going to go alone? No, it's too dangerous!" Lin Yingning's face changed slightly.
With his toes, he could think that the main messenger behind the control of the obsidian leopard must have a large number of obsidian leopard guards around him, and Lin Ze must be very dangerous to face alone.
"Don't worry, I'm a Fire Ring level warrior. Lin Ze glanced at the rest of the people who were sweating profusely, and said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid the others won't be able to hold on if it drags on any longer." ”
Lin Yingning was stunned when she heard this, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally bit her silver teeth and said, "I understand, you have to be careful!"
Seeing Lin Ze bowing her head slightly, she immediately turned her head and whispered a few words to Guo Xiaozhi, who glanced at Lin Ze in surprise, but did not hesitate for too long, gritted her teeth and nodded heavily.
The battle situation was urgent, and there was no time to explain it to others in detail, Lin Yingning immediately pointed to the entrance of the cave when he came and shouted: "Everyone hold on, we will break through to the exit now!"
The soldiers didn't understand why they were breaking through now, but seeing that Guo Xiaozhi had responded, they had to grit their teeth and follow, cheering in unison, and rushing towards the entrance of the cave with the footsteps of Lin Yingning and Guo Xiaozhi.
Seeing that the prey was preparing to break through and escape, the red leopard's attack stalled slightly, and the next moment it became more violent, rushing towards everyone, intending to stop their steps.
The roar of the beast that echoed over the basin suddenly became louder for several minutes.
Everyone struggled to resist, and when they were halfway through, Lin Ze suddenly broke away from the team, and crashed into the two red obsidian leopards in front of him with lightning speed, and in a few flashes of his body, he had already approached within ten meters of the target hole.
This move was very abrupt, not only was everyone in the team surprised except Lin Yingning and Guo Xiaozhi, but even the red leopard and the mastermind who was manipulating behind it failed to react in time, until Lin Ze almost rushed into the hole, the red obsidian leopard group suddenly let out a fierce roar, and nearly half of the red obsidian leopards suddenly left Lin Yingning and the others, and hurriedly returned to the cave entrance.
It's a pity that it's too late at this time, Lin Ze's lightning raid, and the seven or eight red obsidian leopards guarding the vicinity of the cave can't even stop a single face, and they are blasted into fragments like a machine in an instant, and Lin Ze's figure has already broken through the curtain formed by the fragments, and flashed into the cave like a whirlwind.
The red light behind the entrance of the cave was pervasive, and the passage of Nuoda was illuminated by the fire source stone and the red light overflowing from the red obsidian leopard's body, Lin Ze looked up, a middle-aged man in his forties with rough skin was looking at him with a surprised face, and the four giant obsidian leopards in front of him were slightly exposed, drinking and drinking, and their cold eyes looked at him without blinking.
Lin Ze's gaze swept straight over the giant obsidian leopard, swept over the face of the middle-aged man, and finally landed on the crescent moon jade in his hand, and in his other hand he was holding a fire source stone, which was clinging to the surface of the crescent jade.
The middle-aged man was obviously very surprised by Lin Ze's appearance, looked him up and down a few times, and said in his mouth: "You can actually find out where I am, it seems that Cheng Xing and Liang Jianming are not exaggerating, your strength is indeed good." ”
Lin Ze raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "You are from Fire Bear Village?"
"Hey, I don't like that kind of barren little village. The middle-aged man sneered disdainfully, then looked at Lin Ze, and a sneer gradually appeared on his face, "I have to praise you for discovering my existence, but it's a pity, if you don't find out, you can live for a quarter or two more hours." ”
As he spoke, the four obsidian leopards suddenly let out a low roar and slowly stepped forward towards him, their sharp fangs and claws glowing with an icy glow in the red light.
Guo Cong looked at Lin Ze with cold eyes, from Cheng Xing and Liang Jianming, he had already known about the competition, and Lin Ze's matter was naturally clear.
A 20-year-old Fire Ring level warrior can only boast well in Yanlong City, but in a village with scarce cultivation resources, he can still have such a cultivation speed, and his talent is extremely eye-catching.
That being said, he was now only a Fire Ring level beginner warrior, and two Obsidian Leopard Leaders were enough to kill him.
Strangling a genius with his own hands, this made Guo Cong's heart couldn't help but feel a little twisted pleasure, and with five fingers, he crushed the fire source stone that had been absorbed, and the fine stones slipped from between his fingers, but he stared at Lin Ze without blinking.
What made him strange and puzzled was that in the face of the leader of the four obsidian leopards slowly approaching, Lin Ze never saw a frightened look on his face, but a calm and indifferent face, as if it was only four harmless puppies that were approaching him.
"Pretend!" Guo Cong snorted coldly.
With his snort, the leader of the four red obsidian leopards changed his slow pace and suddenly pounced, opening his mouth to bite Lin Ze fiercely.
The passage selected by Guo Cong was extraordinarily spacious, enough to accommodate the four leaders of the Red Obsidian Leopard to attack at the same time, and a beginner-level warrior of the Fire Ring level could face the siege of four fierce beasts with similar strength, and the fate could be imagined.
However, just when Guo Cong thought that Lin Ze was about to be torn to pieces, the leader of the obsidian leopard who rushed to the front seemed to hit a solid wall head-on, and flew back upside down at a faster speed than when he rushed, and a continuous clicking sound sounded in his body in mid-air, and the moment he landed, he was scattered into countless spar fragments.
Guo Cong's eyes widened.
Looking at Lin Ze again, the figure had disappeared in place, turned into a red afterimage and swept out, rushing towards the leader of the other obsidian leopard, slamming into it like a cannonball, and immediately heard a deafening sound, and the leader of the obsidian leopard split his waist in half in an instant, and fell to the ground without a sound.
The leader of the remaining two red obsidian leopards stopped in panic, but Lin Ze had already attacked without stopping, and the two fierce beasts could barely resist before they followed in the footsteps of their companions.
In the blink of an eye, the four menacing red obsidian leopard leaders turned into splinters of spars all over the ground, and the red light refracted on Guo Cong's face through the spars, reflecting his pale complexion.
Guo Cong only felt that he was in a dream, his mouth and tongue were dry, and he couldn't speak for a while.
It was a long time before he said in a trembling voice: "Fire, fire source level!"
His teeth chattered, and his heart welled up with disbelief.
How is it possible? Firefox Village is only a small village, how can there be a fire-level warrior? And so young?
Even in Yanlong City, there is no way to find a 20-year-old fire-level warrior!
Frightened for a long time, Guo Cong suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, and when he looked up, he found that Lin Ze had come to him, and he screamed strangely, and turned around and fled without thinking about it.
The enemy of the fire source level is definitely not something that he can compete with as a mid-level warrior of the fire ring level, and there may be a glimmer of hope if he escapes.
Well, perhaps.
Guo Cong had just run a few steps, the ground in front of him suddenly broke, and six thorns burning with raging flames broke out of the ground, like sharp arrows shooting quickly, he had already been frightened by Lin Ze's strength, and his strength could not be exerted fifty percent, and he only had time to tear two red thorns when he was caught off guard, and then he was tied into zongzi, and the scorching red lotus flame stirred up violent ripples on the Huo Yuangang clothes on the body surface.
Through Huo Yuan Gangyi, Guo Cong could feel the terrifying high temperature contained in the red lotus flame, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to relax, and hurriedly mobilized Huo Yuan to maintain Huo Yuan Gangyi, lest as soon as the Gang Yi was scattered, he would be burned to charcoal, so he couldn't break free from the shackles of the red thorns, and could only watch Lin Ze slowly walking towards him.
snatched the crescent jade from Guo Cong's hand, Lin Ze glanced at it and said lightly: "Tell me how to control those obsidian leopards outside." ”
Guo Cong just hesitated, and then felt that the air around him suddenly became extremely stagnant and heavy, pressing him to a chest tightness, a palpitation spontaneously arises, when he raised his head in shock, he met Lin Ze's cold gaze, and the whole person suddenly shook his spirit, and shouted loudly without hesitation:
"These obsidian leopards were hatched by me with the beast control stone, and they will only obey my orders!"
This thing was originally called the Beast Control Stone.
Lin Ze groaned secretly, glanced at Guo Cong, and saw that his face was panicked, his eyes were frightened and shocked, and he didn't look like he was lying, so he put away Long Wei.
He had a whim just now, and wanted to use the dragon power skill to force information, and now it seems that the effect is not bad.
"Let the obsidian leopards outside disperse and stay away from the basin. ”
Guo Cong nodded with a dejected expression, he had long lost the will to fight against Lin Ze in his heart, not to mention that hundreds of red obsidian leopards could not pose the slightest threat to a fire source level warrior.
I didn't see how he moved, and the incessant roar of the beast outside suddenly stopped, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps, and in a short time, silence returned outside.
Lin Ze condensed and sensed it, and found that many moving fire source stone breaths were moving away at a rapid speed, so he rubbed the jade in his hand and asked lightly: "How is this beast control stone going to hatch the obsidian leopard?"
"Will you let me go?"
Lin Ze didn't answer, just glanced at Guo Cong coldly, and stretched out his hand towards his neck with his five fingers open.
This action immediately frightened Guo Cong, and he hurriedly shouted: "Wait! I said! I said yes!"
Hearing this, Lin Ze stopped moving.
Guo Cong didn't dare to bargain anymore, and told dejectedly, it turned out that the Obsidian Leopard was not born directly from this Beast Control Stone, but first absorbed a large number of fire source stones from the Beast Control Stone to create the Obsidian Leopard Leader, and then the Obsidian Leopard Leader hatched an ordinary Obsidian Leopard.
This is how almost all the obsidian leopards that are wreaking havoc in the mines are born.
"Where did this thing come from, and what is your purpose?"
After listening to Guo Cong's words, Lin Ze pondered for a few seconds and asked slowly.
"I'm from Yanlong City. While Guo Cong said this, he secretly paid attention to Lin Ze's expression, and saw that his face was pale, without showing the slightest fear or jealousy, and he couldn't help but be very disappointed, "The beast control stone was given to me by an adult in the city, and I was asked to go outside to find the fire source stone vein to cultivate a large number of fierce beasts. ”
"Fire Bear Village is also involved?"
"That's not true, I just happened to know Liang Jianming, so I lived in Huoxiong Village. ”
Lin Ze glanced at Guo Cong coldly.
Not long after Firefox Village won the competition and took over this vein, this incident happened, and if you want to say that Firebear Village didn't intervene, he doesn't believe it at all.
Most of the Fire Bear Village knew Guo Cong's mission, and they just lost the battle to hand over the ore vein, so they simply let Guo Cong use a large number of fire source stones in the ore vein to cultivate the Red Obsidian Leopard, which might also cause huge damage to the Fire Fox Village.
If it weren't for Lin Ze, most of their plan would have succeeded.
In the blink of an eye of thought, Lin Ze had roughly sorted out the origin of the matter, and he had to ask for more details, when he heard footsteps outside the entrance of the cave, and there was a faint call from Lin Yingning.
"Cousin!"
The moment the voice came, Lin Ze's eyes flashed, and the lightning in his right hand poked out, directly hitting Guo Cong's throat.
Click!
The sound of the throat bone shattering, Guo Cong's eyes suddenly widened, he looked at Lin Ze in disbelief, his mouth opened and closed a few times, but he couldn't make a sound, as the red thorns dissipated, his body slowly collapsed to the ground, and soon there was no sound.
