Chapter 8: Into the Wild Forest
Five days later, in the wild forest, a group of mercenaries began to advance to the depths, this group of people is Li Hao, Fan Chen's group, familiar land, familiar environment, familiar soil, all this, Fan Chen is no longer familiar, and their group has been in the forest for three days, and in these three days, Fan Chen and his party only hunted a few low-strength demon beasts, and there was no big gain, and the third day was even more fruitless.
"Hey, this line of luck is really a bit bad, it's been three days, but I haven't even encountered a demon beast that cultivates in the foundation building period, if it goes on like this, this time it will be a waste of work to enter the wild forest, and I will drink the northwest wind when I go back." Qiu Lin, who was walking in the middle of the line, complained to Fan Chen on the side.
"Don't say that, it's only been three days since we came in, maybe we'll have a big harvest next, enough for us to make a big deal. Fan Chen persuaded him.
"However, in other words, you kid, at such a young age, you have embarked on this path of adding blood to the tip of the knife like us, so why bother, with your cultivation qualifications, you can completely find a major sect to cultivate with peace of mind, and your qualifications are estimated to be not low in the future. Qiulin said.
"Well, I need to find the blood of the demon beast, and the blood of the demon beast is of great use to me, so I will venture into the wild forest to obtain it. Fan Chen said helplessly, it is estimated that it is impossible to find the cultivation of the Great Gate Sect, and Fan Chen has not mentioned it to everyone about his ethereal root, because he is not good enough to attract onlookers, and he has crushed two mirror stones before, which has stunned everyone.
Although Fan Chen is a novice who has just entered the cultivation world, after a few days of understanding, he already knows that the ethereal spirit root cannot be cultivated, which is recognized by the cultivation world as a waste spirit root, this kind of spirit root is universal in the world, and in history, there has never been a precedent for the ethereal spirit root to become a cultivator.
"The blood of the demon beast, isn't that thing very easy to obtain? You know, although the demon beast is full of treasures, but the blood of the demon beast is the most worthless, because the blood of the demon beast has no effect on auxiliary cultivation, it contains violent energy, and it cannot be used directly, so the ones that can generally be used are those alchemists, and in fact, alchemists are so rare, I have never seen it at all, which also causes the situation that the blood pressure of the demon beast is that there is no market for things, so you can buy some blood at a low price, just fine. Qiulin said.
"Well, actually, I want to do that, but I'm penniless. Fan Chen touched his head embarrassedly and said.
"Hmm........... When I didn't say. Qiu Lin was about to say next, he was directly choked back by mortal dust, how poor this must be, he didn't even have the money to sell blood, and he didn't know how he got to this rank, it was really more human than human, angry people, and it was the kind that didn't pay for his life, in the mortal world, it was difficult to move an inch without money, and this principle also applies to the world of cultivators.
"Well, then how did you get into this business?" asked Fan Chen.
"Hey, this is hard to say, for some reason, you can only be a casual cultivator, although it is a casual cultivation, but you still have to continue to practice, don't you have to come out to earn spirit stones, in exchange for cultivation resources, tell you, everyone here before becoming a mercenary, there are people with a story.........."
Everyone continued to walk in the wild forest, and suddenly, Li Hao, who was walking in the front, made a gesture and signaled everyone to stop advancing.
"Boss, what's wrong? Shi Hu asked.
"It's strange, it's too strange, this mountain forest is too quiet, we've been walking for a day, but we haven't encountered a monster beast again, it's counterintuitive. Li Hao said.
"Indeed, there must be demons when things go wrong, and we have to be careful. Ye Yanyu said.
"According to my years of experience, it is very likely that we have entered the territory of a powerful demon beast, and it is a demon beast with an extremely strong sense of territory, and it is not allowed to have any other demon beasts in our territory. Li Hao speculated.
"So what do we do now? Are we going back the way we came?"
"I'm afraid it's too late, I think we've gone deep enough into his territory, guys, get ready to fight, life and death, wealth in the sky. Li Hao ordered.
A loud bang suddenly came from the ground, causing the earth to shake, and a behemoth with a rocky skin and spikes on its back, several meters high, emerged from the ground in front of everyone.
"I'll go, Rock Iron Beast. When Fan Chen saw this beast, he exclaimed.
"Okay, boy, you have a good eye, you can recognize it at a glance. Qiulin exclaimed.
"Once, the old man of the family once described this kind of demon beast, this beast has a skin like a rock, hard as iron, and extremely powerful, ordinary sharp weapons can not pierce his skin at all, although this kind of demon beast is not carnivorous, but the sense of territory is extremely strong, will attack all life that intrudes into his territory. Fan Chen explained.
"Since we know so clearly, then don't run quickly, this is a rock iron beast that has reached the late stage of foundation building, with our attack power, it can't meet the requirements of breaking his defense, and when we meet him, we can only escape, and this kind of pure meat demon beast hard steel, is the head is lacking and dazzling. Li Hao shouted loudly.
After saying that, all the people collectively turned around and ran away from the road they came, and at this time, all the bodies of the rock iron beast drilled out of the ground, only to see that this was a behemoth three meters high and five meters long, the rock iron beast let out an angry roar, and then chased after Li Hao and the others, vowing to tear these intruders to pieces.
The huge body ran up, the bulky body did not affect his speed at all, and the trees in front of him would be cut off directly under his violence, and on the other hand, Fan Chen and the others, the mountain and forest areas seriously affected the speed of everyone, making the distance between the two gradually decrease.
"Everyone work hard, as long as he runs out of this big guy's territory, he will give up the pursuit. Li Hao shouted loudly.
As the distance narrowed, everyone used their strength to increase their speed and get rid of the pursuit of the Rock Iron Beast as soon as possible, but as expected, everyone entered the attack range of the Rock Iron Beast.
I saw that the broken trees or rocks were thrown into the air by the rock iron beast, and then smashed towards everyone, everyone dodged again and again, while continuing to run forward, which seriously affected the escape speed of everyone.
Finally, Ye Yanyu in the crowd couldn't dodge, and was directly hit by a boulder weighing several tons, although at the last moment, he blocked in front of him with his weapon, but his body was still like a kite with a broken string, flying out, and the power of the rock iron beast was not something that could be stopped by the cultivation of the first level of foundation building.
"Bondage rope. Li Hao shouted loudly.
"Understood. Immediately, everyone sacrificed the restraint rope, and instantly tied a pair of front legs of the rock iron beast together, and the rock iron beast was suddenly inaugurated, so that it was not in a hurry, and it was directly hit, and its huge body turned to the ground, but in an instant, the rock iron beast broke the binding rope and continued to kill everyone, but this moment was enough for everyone to carry Ye Yanyu and continue to escape.
chased and fled, and continued to stage in the jungle, and in just three minutes, three people were hit again, and the injuries were not light, which also caused the speed of everyone to slow down again.
"Boss, it's not a way to go on like this, before we run out of his territory, we will be caught up by this big guy. Shi Hu said loudly.
"In that case, then give him a soft spot, don't ask for a kill, just be seriously injured. Li Hao said, and then killed with his sword, "Shi Hu, I will contain it head-on, and you will lead people to attack from the rear." ”
"Understood. "The rock iron beast is huge, and the defense behind it is the weakest, so it is the best choice for attacking, and Fan Chen, as a member of the group, also drew his sword to meet it.
However, it backfired, even if everyone approached the body of the rock iron beast behind them, the weapon in their hands still couldn't cut through the big guy's defense, and only splashed sparks, "It's so fucking hard." ”
"Don't complain, keep attacking. ”
The tug-of-war has started since then, although the strength of everyone is not as good as that of the rock iron beast, but relying on the tacit understanding between each other, they have been cultivated for a long time, and they are also fighting with the rock iron beast, and for a while, they can't help each other, after all, although the realm of the rock iron beast is higher than everyone else, but the attack relies on the strength is strong enough, and there are no other means of attack, everyone just needs to be careful to dodge.
However, as the time was delayed, everyone finally fell into a state of fatigue, and the speed was not as fast as at the beginning, and finally let the rock iron beast seize the opportunity, and hit Ye Yanyu, who was the most injured among the people, with a sweeping tail.
Although the intelligence of the rock iron beast is not as good as that of humans, it also understands the weaknesses of the enemy, so it moved its four hooves and killed Ye Yanyu, at this time Fan Chen is the closest teammate to Ye Yanyu, in addition, others have no time to rescue, at this time, the simplicity of the people in the mountains is shown, as a teammate, they will not see death without saving.
Fan Chen rushed forward, holding the Tianyin Sword and the Rock Iron Beast shook a hard blow, the powerful impact force, directly knocked Fan Chen and Ye Yanyu out together, Fan Chen suffered most of the strength, a mouthful of blood spit on the Tianyin Sword, although Fan Chen was seriously injured, but Ye Yanyu did not suffer a fatal blow, at this time, Fan Chen did not realize that his blood made the Tianyin Sword emit a strange red light.
"Stop this brute. Li Hao roared, and then rushed towards the direction where Fan Chen and Ye Yanyu fell to the ground.
In this process, everyone had already rushed over and stopped in front of the rock iron beast, the stalemate for so long had already made the rock iron beast irritable, and the irritable rock iron beast stared at the most seriously injured mortal dust and Ye Yanyu, and vowed to solve them first, so as to solve these intruders as soon as possible.
