Chapter 51: The Sword Pine Forest
At the foot of the Great Wall, looking up, the black beast towers into the sky, shaking people's heartstrings.
Lu Feng'er has been here for so long, but this is the first time she has come here.
The wooden gate in front of you, though large, is so dilapidated that it's hard to imagine that it's the only way connecting the town to the snowy land.
The wooden door opened a thin slit, and no one cared for it all year round, just let it sway with the cold wind, making a creaking and creepy sound. But the amazing thing is that no matter how much it endured the devastation, it still supported it so strongly, from beginning to end.
'Out of here, it's the snowy region!' Lu Feng'er would never have thought that the first time he set off to the snowy region was actually to seek revenge for his friend.
He breathed a sigh of relief, walked out of the Great Wall, and headed northwest.
Not much beyond the Great Wall is a large forest of trees. He heard Mu Xu say that most of the forest is sword pine, and it is named because the branches and leaves are naturally like a sharp sword.
Fortunately, the trees are towering into the sky, and so are their foliage. Otherwise, it will not be easy to move here, and anyone with a sword on their head will be restrained, right?
This place is the world of monsters.
As soon as night fell, there was the slightest sound of scolding on the snow on both sides, and the weak but cautious beasts came out to feed. Lu Feng'er, who grew up in the city, was away from the area of human activities for the first time, and for this reason, he was still a little excited in his heart.
But even so, this is still on the edge of the Great Wall after all, and there are almost no large demon beasts, let alone Hua Dan, and even demon beasts above level four are rarely encountered.
So, it's a relatively safe area outside of the snowy area.
Gradually, Lu Feng'er went deep into the sword pine forest. The night was brighter, and he could clearly see some small insects, and the little lizards crawled over the bushes on the side, looking at him with a probing head, and frightened at the slightest disturbance.
Seeing this, he smiled at them, thinking it was extremely interesting.
After walking for about ten miles, he suddenly felt a vicious chill attack, and subconsciously jumped back, and a sword pine leaf almost grazed his body, inserting it into the place where he was standing before.
'It's dangerous!' he was shocked, 'I'm almost going to confess here!'
At this moment, there was a shrill 'squeak' sound overhead. He looked up and saw an ugly monkey scratching its ears and cheeks, baring its teeth at him and hissing fiercely.
A first-level demon beast, an arrow monkey, he recognized the demon beast in front of him at a glance.
Because he heard from the mercenaries in the hotel that there is a kind of demon beast in the sword pine forest that grows with the sword pine, and its own strength is not strong, and it is generally wandering between first-level and second-level demon beasts. But the advantage is that they can build their nests on top of the sword pine, and the sword pine leaves on the sword pine are inherently sharp weapons. Therefore, many mercenary groups that have just arrived here have suffered a lot of losses, and even confessed that many people are here.
'Is this their territory?' It squeaked and screamed at Lu Feng'er, who raised her hands and slowly retreated, although she was very unhappy in her heart.
One arrow monkey is easy to deal with, but the terrible thing is that they live in groups, as few as thirty-four and as many as fifty-hundred.
Although I don't know if this is a large community or a small community, no matter what, dozens of arrow monkeys are throwing at you with sword pine leaves on it, and it is also a small round of arrow rain, which no one wants to feel. Besides, those little things are at least fifty or sixty meters high, and even if they want to, they can't hit them.
A good man doesn't suffer immediate losses, Lu Fenger can only comfort himself like this, it is the choice of a wise man to leave the land of right and wrong in time before things get bigger.
After retreating about a hundred meters away, the arrow monkey turned around, shook Lu Feng'er with its red buttocks, and disappeared into the sword pine forest after soaking shit.
"him!" Lu Feng'er scolded with the corners of his mouth, he didn't do anything, and he had already given it enough face to retreat, but this insulting behavior made him annoyed.
'I'll clean you up when I'm free!' he thought angrily, going around the circle and moving on.
In order to avoid long nights and dreams, he deliberately quickened his pace.
The pine forest was uneven, and he rounded a bend and jumped into a pit, and after a few steps uphill, it was another downhill. He accelerated, followed the inertia and dodged a few times before rushing to the bottom of the slope.
When he reached the bottom, a small stream flowed slowly between them, and he knelt on the bank and splashed water with his hand on his face. 'It's so cold!' he shivered, but instantly sobered him up.
He touched his face and prepared to get up and continue on his way.
'Squeak!' Suddenly, an untimely voice sounded behind him, and he stopped suddenly.
Time seemed to have stopped, frozen in place.
But in the next moment, he pulled out his sword violently with the power of time, and turned around to make a whirling slash!
'Zi!~' The sword collided with the claw, and a spark was sparked before parting. He was slapped the snow, and a black shadow was cut out five or six meters away, and he rolled several times.
He stood up, stared at the sturdy figure in front of him, and gritted his teeth, "Snow leopard!"
The snow leopard is suitable for living alone, and it is born as a second-level demon beast, of course, it has to wait for it to run before it can exert its strength. When the snow leopard reaches the juvenile stage, it can reach the third level of demon beasts, and the adult is about the fourth to fifth level.
And the one in front of him doesn't look too big, it's obviously a juvenile, and it's still a third-level demon beast. However, although the body looks a little petite, it is full of ferocity.
There was a trace of blood on the ground, and it was obvious that Lu Feng'er had also cut its claws with a sword just now, and he let out a low roar towards Lu Feng'er.
Generally speaking, humans of the same level are generally not opponents of demon beasts, and its sense of smell tells it that the human in front of it is only a second-level martial artist, and it is alone. This is the most perfect ingredient, but it has suffered a small loss, which makes it a little difficult to accept.
So, it roared under its breath, looking for an opportunity. Next time, a blow kills, its instincts tell it.
Lu Feng'er walked with a sword, one step at a time, and he slowly approached. The first time he experienced a life-and-death struggle with a demon beast, his mind was unexpectedly calm, and he thought that he would still be nervous.
'Just let it test the results of my cultivation. He thought to himself.
The hair of the snow leopard stands up like a steel needle, ready to be released.
When they were only two meters left, they burst out at the same time.
Take a leap forward.
The power of time was circulating in her eyes, and Lu Feng'er's originally forward body suddenly dived, dodging the snow leopard's fatal grasp, and then slashed forward quickly.
The snow leopard was startled and suddenly bowed, but it still didn't have time to dodge completely. The tip of the sword sliced open the belly on the side of it, bringing up a line of blood.
Its body slammed to the ground, rolling uncontrollably, and slamming into the nearby rock, shattering the rock to pieces. The force of the shock made it dizzy.
Lu Feng'er would not let go of this opportunity, he quickly rushed forward, and raised his sword to its belly again. In desperation, the snow leopard could only shrink and slap its claws on the sword in an attempt to block it.
If it is an ordinary iron weapon, it can barely be blocked this time, but this sword was given to him by Mu Xu from the sword training room before, and the worst weapon there is also composed of black gold and iron.
Although it is nothing in Mu Xu's eyes, at their level, it can be regarded as a sharp weapon, at least comparable to the claws of a fifth-level demon beast.
A sword slashed, and its front claws were severed. The snow leopard roared loudly in pain, flicked its tail violently, and whipped Lu Feng'er in the face with all his might. Lu Feng'er hurriedly used the power of the time, but it was too late, and she took a solid blow and retreated again and again.
There was a thick red line on his cheek, and he was dizzy.
The snow leopard has no intention of fighting at this time. Seizing the opportunity is like jumping in front of you, trying to escape from here.
However, it had lost its forepaws, and when it landed, it was unstable, and its severed limbs were involuntarily pressed into the snow. The sudden sharp pain made it scream, and the other front leg couldn't help but go limp. So it could only try to move forward little by little.
At this time, Lu Feng'er had already recovered. He strode forward, stabbing his sword into the back of its head, and in a few struggles it died.
Then, he drew his sword, shook off the blood from it, and sheathed it, spreading a puddle of scarlet in the snow.
