Chapter 286: Leeches
Haicheng.
After handing over the last water ghost task, he accompanied Xiaocheng to practice singing for two days, and Qiao Yang received a new task.
It's no wonder that the tasks given by the mentor are frequent, Haicheng has been blocked for several days, and all work has been stopped for several days, and the losses caused by this are incalculable.
This time it was also a small solo mission, and although it was carried out in the wild, it didn't take much time.
After confirming the goal, Qiao Yang packed up a series of food, medicine, tents, and a series of necessities for survival in the wild, and left the direction of the campus with the three generals of Black, Red and Blue.
Since Qiao Yang was not familiar with the topography of Haicheng, He Yi also prepared a map for reference.
Map Shanghai City is located in the center of the map, with the sea as the center to expand around, many peaks are painted with some Q version of the monster portraits, next to the portrait there is a text introduction, representing the general habitat of this kind of monster.
The goal of Qiao Yang's trip was a mangrove forest dozens of miles east of the city.
It is said that it is a mangrove forest, but in fact, it is very different from the deep mountains and old forests around Jincheng, and the ancient giant trees.
Mangrove forest is a tidal flat wetland woody biome that grows in tropical coastal areas and is flooded by tidal water all year round, with mangrove plants as the main body, and belongs to the unique landform of coastal areas.
There are no towering giant trees, they are basically herbaceous and vines.
After carefully identifying the map, Qiao Yang pondered for a moment and chose a relatively close and safer route to move forward.
In fact, with the combat power he currently carries with 3 general-level demon beasts, he can basically walk sideways in the wild areas around the city.
But it's always a good thing to be careful and be more cautious.
After half a day, the group walked more than 10 miles.
There were also some demon beasts that were alarmed on the way, but Qiao Yang's speed of one person and three beasts was very fast, and they did not stay after passing through their territory, and they also sensed three faint general-level aura, so these demon beasts did not have much to do, and acquiesced to their group passing through their territory.
Qiao Yang's legs and feet were a little numb, looking at the 3 demon beasts that were still alive and well, he couldn't help but sigh, the physical fitness of this demon tamer and the demon beast is really incomparable, even the fattest Xiao Chi is still a flexible little fat man, his face is not red and he is not panting, and it seems that he still has spare strength.
I don't know when I will be able to have a demon beast that can act as a mount, and with a demon beast to travel, the future journey will be much easier.
Qiao Yang wiped the sweat from his forehead, Haicheng is located in the tropics, the climate is relatively hot all year round, fortunately, the surrounding trees are relatively lush, and the sunlight shining from the top of his head is basically blocked by plants, and the air is very cool.
The breeze was blowing on his face, and Qiao Yang's eyes narrowed, looking at the scenery in front of him.
It is a small lake, and several mossy boulders stand firmly around the lake.
In a city like Haicheng, which is near the sea, the surrounding river flows straight into the sea, and lakes are not uncommon in such a complex environment.
But what really caught Qiao Yang's attention was that there was a Q version of the demon beast picture near this lake on the map—the Wind Moth.
It may be the reason for the unique climate, the insect monsters in the tropics are always normal and wanton, and the environment around Haicheng, in addition to a large number of aquatic monsters, is also a paradise for insects and monsters.
The wind moth is a common insect, wind attribute, social animal, docile personality, like to swallow pollen, suck plant juice for a living.
A single moth is not very aggressive, so most of them live in groups, which is their way of survival in nature.
The moth prefers a hot and humid environment, and at the same time likes to stay in a cool place, and most importantly, there must be a strong wind element near the place where the moth gathers.
Just as wild animals must replenish salt, elemental monsters must also replenish the corresponding elements regularly, otherwise they will languish and degenerate in the long run.
Therefore, most of the elemental monsters will choose the environment with a strong corresponding element as their habitat.
Perhaps it was because of the presence of three general-level demon beasts, it became extremely quiet within a radius of several miles, and even the noisy insects stopped chirping.
Qiao Yang was still looking around for traces of the survival of the Wind End Moth Clan, when suddenly a black shadow flashed in the corner of his eye.
The next moment, Qiao Yang staggered back two steps, only feeling like someone had punched him in the chest, but it didn't hurt much, but the incident happened suddenly, so the center of gravity was a little unstable.
Holding on to the trunk of a tree beside him to stabilize himself, he realized what had attacked him.
A lump of black stuff stuck to his chest like jelly, making a gnawing sound, but because he was wearing the uniform of the association, his defense was acceptable, so this little thing couldn't bite through it in annoyance.
【Leech】
[Attribute: Elemental/Hunting]
[Rank: Soldier Level]
[A creature that lives in inland freshwater waters, usually hiding in the water, and prefers to eat the flesh and blood of living things.] 】
[Level: 15]
......
Leech?
Qiao Yang felt a tingling of his scalp, although it was normal for leeches to be abundant in the tropics, he didn't have the slightest affection for this creature.
He remembered that the last time he was in the secret realm of Yecheng Cemetery, he was also attacked by Yin Water Leeches.
Is the leech race so obscene? Quietly hiding, taking advantage of people's unpreparedness to carry out sneak attacks?
It's a big lump of wet flesh, it's not good-looking, and it specializes in sucking blood, which is also disgusting......
Qiao Yang felt that he pulled down the black leech on his chest and slammed it to the ground.
The leech snapped to the ground, like an egg cake...... Then it slowly squirms, and there is a large amount of viscous and transparent liquid on the surface of the skin, and its skin looks rough and grainy.
The leech seemed to be very uncomfortable after leaving the water environment, shaking its head, feeling the moisture in the air, and finally judging the location of the lake, desperately trying to climb back to the lake.
Following the direction of the leech crawling, Qiao Yang looked at it.
At the edge of the lake, a thick layer of leeches is piled up, and the wind element seems to be rich in the ability of these leeches to camouflage.
The leeches' bodies are translucent when they are submerged in the water, and they only appear black when they leave the water.
But they hardly dared to leave the lake, and a few leeches carefully touched the wet dirt and then retracted, as if the shore was a very terrifying presence for them.
Only a few activists are still eager to try the fresh flesh on the shore.
Qiao Yang frowned, such a dense leech, even if the strength was very low, it was enough to give him goosebumps.
He decided to take the lead in the first wave.
Make a detour!
