"It can live up to 3,000 years old, and if it uses fur as its fur, it will not scorch when it enters the fire, and it will not sink in the water for several days, and it is in this way that this creature can survive in Antarctica without fear of weak water. ”

"Natural selection, only those who can adapt to the environment can survive. "Summed up," I have gained knowledge. ”

At this time, they had already gone deep into the forests of the Arctic Continent, and all the way they saw were full of admiration, but they did not see the danger described outside, and they did not know if it was a rumor made up by the world that they could not reach here.

"Don't take it lightly. Yan Lie looked at the six roads and listened to the eight directions, "We haven't encountered danger for the time being, it may be that we are still far away from the location of the Blood Spring, the Blood Spring is the treasure of the Long Pole Continent, and there must be many guardians around it to prevent outsiders from coveting it." ”

He paused and made an even less optimistic guess, "There is another possibility, that is, the creatures here can sense the arrival of the Blood Moon, and all of them who have the ability to snatch the Blood Spring have already rushed there to wait for an opportunity to hibernat. ”

This is the worst-case scenario, and if that is the case, they will never be able to make it all tonight.

Tomorrow is the sixteenth day of the lunar month, and the time when the blood moon rises should be after tonight, and if they want to obtain the blood spring, there is still a tough battle waiting for them.

Knowing that the road ahead was dangerous, the two still didn't dare to delay, and hurried to the highest peak of the Long Pole.

As the two of them were about to cross the forest, at the edge of the periphery, they ran into a number of aggressive creatures that appeared to be so manic that even their own kind would attack.

Yet they are gathered here, and no one wants to retreat.

"These creatures have low cultivation, do you see? No matter how manic they are, they only dare to wander around this area, and they don't dare to move any further. Yan Lie led her silently, passing over the branches on the heads of the fierce beasts.

"That means there's something ahead of them that they're afraid of. "In this way, there is a high probability that your speculation just now is correct, and it is very likely that all the fierce beasts on the Pole Continent have fled here." ”

There was the most unoptimistic situation, and their hearts were all sinking, and they could only muster up 120,000 points of spirit, and be cautious and cautious.

Not wanting to alarm those fierce beasts too early and fight them, before going up the mountain, Bang Xi and Yan Lie used the technique of hiding breath to hide their breath.

As soon as they entered the mountain, they encountered a creature covered in barbs, which was much larger than the one in the forest, but fortunately it was resting, probably recuperating for tonight's battle, and it was easy for Bang Xi and Yan Lie to leave its territory.

"Is it the guardian of the Blood Fountain you mentioned?" Wan Xi glanced back, thoughtful.

"How do you know it's a guardian and not a pretender?" Yan Lie raised his eyebrows, but there was approval in his eyes.

"It dares to sleep so aggressively in broad daylight, and it doesn't look like a thief or a robber. "Besides, this is still some distance from the top of the mountain, if you want to grab the blood spring, it's not a good position to stay here." ”

"You're right. Yan Lie nodded, "But there is a quicker way to tell. ”

"Oh? ”

Yan Lie drew a rough range with his fingers, "Don't you notice that this place has the same smell of that creature? The creatures that live in the mountains and wilderness like to use smell to distinguish territory, and those who can have territory on this mountain can usually only be the guardian." ”

Wan Xi carefully sniffed out the air and found that this was really the case, but she was not as sensitive as Yan Lie, and if she didn't pay attention, she might have missed it.

The two of them continued on their way, passing several more Guardian territories of various sizes.

It wasn't until the sun set that they finally crossed the mountainside, and from here on, the number of fierce beasts increased dramatically, and in addition to the guardians, they had to guard against the predators who lurked in the shadows.

These pretenders are well disguised, and some will also integrate their appearance with the surrounding environment, so that people can't notice anything unusual, if Yan Lie hadn't noticed their breath in time, it is estimated that the two of them would have bumped into each other a long time ago, or stepped on others.

But after all, there is still a time when he can't be guarded against, and he still has palpitations when he watches Yan Lie neatly twist the cartilage between the other party's neck.

"This thing jumped up and moved too much just now, so it won't be heard by the guardians, right?" The closer to the top of the mountain, the greater the pressure of the guardians, and in addition to the transmission, he no longer dared to speak, for fear of alarming the guardians living nearby.

"I'm not sure, we'd better get out as soon as possible. Yan Lie gently placed the corpse of the fierce beast on the ground, in order to avoid the smell of blood from attracting a large number of fierce beasts, he couldn't let the other party have a wound now.

Bang Xi nodded, tiptoed to do so, only took a few steps, and suddenly the corner of her eye swept to something on the tree next to her, she subconsciously turned her face to see, a cockroach was facing her face, and the two whiskers were raised!

Bang Xi's eyes were wide in shock, and she was about to react instinctively when she was startled, but before she could retreat, her retreat had been firmly blocked, and a man's hand covered her mouth in time.

"Shhhh Yan Lie's calm voice sounded in her head, "It's the protector." ”

This thing is actually a protector? It was incredible, she thought that the deeper the cultivation, the bigger the body should be.

Although the two of them were now hidden, at such a close distance, in order to avoid being detected by the protectors, not only could they not make any movements, but they could not look directly at it.

The other warm, dry hand gently covered the wide open eyes.

"If you're afraid, don't look at it. ”

Yan Lie's voice was still calm and calm, with the steady and powerful heartbeat that clinged to her vest, and in this darkness, the beating heart finally gradually calmed down.

The cockroach-like guardian stretched out its tentacles and felt it for a moment, but without noticing anything unusual, he went to the pretender's body.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yan Lie stayed away little by little with his worries, and finally left this place of right and wrong.

At this moment, the night is already falling, the blood moon is approaching, and there must be a lot of creatures who want to snatch the blood fountain tonight, and even if the cockroach finds that there is a dead beast corpse on its territory, it will not necessarily catch up and hunt it down.

But the only thing that is certain is that the road ahead must be more difficult, and when night falls, all the guardians or pretenders who are napping should have fully woken up by this time.

(Xiao Xia's words: On my history of blood and tears from childhood to adulthood and Xiaoqiang, I moved before, and there was Xiaoqiang in the new apartment, and I was coding words a few days ago, and I turned my head to see one next to the bed, so scared that I really lost the computer and flew out TT has sequelae now.) ）
