Chapter 57: Chalcedony
Don't look at the area of this hunt is only a small hill, but the trees here are so lush that as soon as the students of the Blackstone Academy enter it, it is like a river flowing into the sea, completely swallowed by the forest, and it is difficult for them to meet each other.
Zhao Yiming and Xia Siyu worked hand in hand, all the way Zhao Yiming was searching for the traces of the demon beast, and then the two of them worked together to kill, and distributed the crystal nucleus of the demon beast equally.
After half a day, Zhao Yiming's sack was filled with one-third.
Looking at the harvest in the sack, Xia Siyu looked at Zhao Yiming with admiration on his face, and said, "Yiming, you are really amazing, how do you know that there are demon beasts there?" Even if you awaken your spiritual power, but this mountain is so big, it is impossible for you to completely cover it. ”
Zhao Yiming smiled and said, "Silly girl, have you forgotten my identity?"
"Identity?" Xia Siyu was stunned, what identity could Zhao Yiming have? She had a headache because Zhao Yiming had no identity, after all, it was not right with her.
Looking at the stunned Xia Siyu, Zhao Yiming touched her head, and said with a smile: "Have you forgotten? I am the most powerful hunter and martial artist in our Zhaojiazhuang, as the so-called relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and rely on the water to draft water, our Zhaojiazhuang has been hunting for a living all year round, this tracking prey is a skill passed down from our ancestors for generations, and you people in the city don't hunt, how can it be compared to us." ”
Xia Siyu suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, daring to love Zhao Yiming's identity is this, she wanted to cry without tears.
"Let's go, let's move on to the next monster hunt. Zhao Yiming immediately picked up the sack and beckoned Xia Siyu to set off.
Looking at the woods in front of him, Zhao Yiming said confidently: "Don't worry, we have won this hunt, maybe some of those students are stronger than me, but when it comes to tracking prey, you people in the city are not as good as me." ”
"Yes, yes, I know you're good, okay. Xia Siyu rolled her eyes, and suddenly she twitched her nose, frowned, and said, "Yiming, have you smelled any fragrance?" This fragrance is a little familiar, but I can't think of what kind of fragrance it is for a while. ”
"Scent?"
Zhao Yiming picked up the talisman he wore around his neck and said with a smile: "That's what you said, I also discovered it just now, this thing began to release a faint fragrance not long ago, and it smells pretty good." ”
"Hehe, you also believe this!" Xia Siyu looked at Zhao Yiming's talisman and smiled.
Zhao Yiming shook his head and said, "It was given to me by Liu Qiang, and her mother asked for one for everyone in our dormitory." ”
"Mrs. Liu has a really good heart. Xia Siyu said.
Zhao Yiming nodded, and the two continued to track the demon beast, and soon after obtained a demon beast crystal nucleus again.
However, at this moment, the ground shook suddenly, as if ten thousand horses were galloping.
The two looked at each other in shock.
Zhao Yiming hurriedly released his spiritual power to probe the surrounding situation, but as a result, his pupils shrank, and he said in shock: "A lot of demon beasts are rushing towards us. ”
"How can this be? Isn't the identity of this demon beast we killed simple?" Xia Siyu looked down at the corpse of the demon beast lying on the ground, this was just an ordinary bear demon beast, nothing special.
"Don't think about it, hurry up and find a place to meet the enemy, in this kind of open area, once we are besieged by a large number of demon beasts, then we will die, after all, our vitality is limited. Zhao Yiming hurriedly pulled Xia Siyu and rushed forward.
Through his spiritual power, he saw a slit in the stone wall not far away, and they could completely hide in it to avoid being attacked from behind, as long as they were responsible for defending the front.
"Roar, Roar, Roar, ......Roar, Roar, Roar, Roar, T
By the time Zhao Yiming and the others entered the stone crevice, a group of demon beasts had already surged, they roared one by one, opened their bloody mouths, showed their cold and shining teeth and claws, and slaughtered Zhao Yiming and them, all of them were like crazy, their eyes were red.
"Yiming, how do I feel that something is wrong with these demon beasts?" Xia Siyu said in confusion as he killed the demon beasts that pounced.
"I don't know, maybe we were unlucky and encountered a tide of beasts. Zhao Yiming shook his head, while killing the demon beasts, he used his spiritual power to control the silver needles, and stabbed fiercely into the eyes of the demon beasts in front of him.
Suddenly, some of the demon beasts that rushed over were blinded by Zhao Yiming's stabbing eyes, they lost their direction, they couldn't see the enemy, and they ran rampant in front of them, killing the demon beasts they encountered.
Zhao Yiming: Their pressure suddenly decreased.
"Yiming, your trick is really powerful, now we are much easier. Xia Siyu praised.
Zhao Yiming was not much relaxed, he calmly analyzed: "Many demon beasts do not rely on their eyes, they rely on their noses to smell the bloody smell of their prey, and we kill more and more demon beasts, causing the smell of blood on our bodies to become stronger and stronger, so even if these demon beasts are blind, they will continue to kill us later." ”
When Xia Siyu heard this, his face suddenly became solemn.
Sure enough, Zhao Yiming was not wrong, about half an hour later, even if those demon beasts were blinded by Zhao Yiming's stabbing, they continued to kill them.
In this way, Zhao Yiming's silver needle is useless.
The weakness of the demon beasts is their eyes, and in addition, the fur and flesh armor on their bodies are very hard, and Zhao Yiming's silver needle can't pierce them at all, so it can't cause too serious damage to them.
In the end, Zhao Yiming could only keep casting "Nine Flame Blades", fighting side by side with Xia Siyu, holding on.
Time passed bit by bit, Zhao Yiming and Xia Siyu's faces became paler and paler, and their vitality was almost exhausted to the limit.
"Yiming, I can't hold on. Xia Siyu looked at Zhao Yiming, there was no fear in her eyes, but a joy, "I have no regrets about dying with you." ”
"No, you're not going to die. Zhao Yiming said with a firm look in his eyes: "Siyu, you quickly climb up along the stone crack, and I will open the way for you." ”
After speaking, Zhao Yiming stood in front of Xia Siyu and stopped the demon beast that had been killed.
At the same time, he controlled a silver throwing knife and dug small holes in the stone wall, enough for people to settle down and climb up.
As soon as Xia Siyu saw it, he understood that Zhao Yiming was going to sacrifice himself to protect her and leave, after all, after she went up, Zhao Yiming couldn't come up at all under the siege of the demon beast.
In this way of life, only one person can stop the demon beast and let the other person escape.
Of the two of them, only one person can survive.
"I really didn't see the wrong person!" Xia Siyu was very sweet in her heart, she didn't turn around and leave, but killed the demon beast side by side with Zhao Yiming.
"Siyu, let's go!" Zhao Yiming yelled.
Xia Siyu shook his head and said, "I want to die together." ”
Her tone was firm.
"Stupid, it's better to die one person than two people, I still have a mother to take care of, after you escape, you must take care of my mother. Zhao Yiming roared.
Xia Siyu gritted his teeth and said, "Then you go, I'll stop these demon beasts for you." ”
"Obedient, you go quickly, I am stronger than you, I still have hope to stay alive. Zhao Yiming continued to urge Xia Siyu, and at the same time, he manipulated the silver flying knife to create a small pit on the stone wall for people to settle on.
Xia Siyu didn't leave, she shook her head and said, "If you don't leave, I won't leave." ”
"You ......" Zhao Yiming was happy and anxious in his heart, Xia Siyu's decision made him helpless, but this also means that he did not look at the wrong person, this is a girl who is worth his life.
"I'm not going to let you die here!"
Zhao Yiming's eyes burst out, and the long knife in his hand swayed a knife shadow, and the nine knives in "Nine Flame Knife" were displayed by him, and the blazing sword light engulfed all the demon beasts rushing in front of him.
Taking advantage of this moment, Zhao Yiming grabbed the stunned Xia Siyu and threw her above the stone wall.
"Let's go—"
Zhao Yiming yelled.
"Boom!" At this moment, the ground under Zhao Yiming's feet suddenly collapsed, and even his whole person fell into the dirt.
"Yiming!" A hint of firmness appeared in Xia Siyu's eyes, she suddenly let go of the palm that grabbed the stone wall, and jumped into the deep pit with Zhao Yiming.
The dirt continued to fall, drowning them completely.
The demon beasts who rushed over twitched their noses and found that there was no more such unique fragrance, so they scattered in a hurry.
......
"Poof!"
In the deep pit, Zhao Yiming and Xia Siyu fell into the water one after another, and there was a dark river below.
However, fortunately, it was a dark river, so they were prevented from being buried alive by the dirt and stones.
The two of them were very excited to see each other underwater, it was really a death escape.
Suddenly, Zhao Yiming pointed in a direction and asked Xia Siyu to swim with him.
Xia Siyu understood that that was the direction in which the river flowed, and there would definitely be a way out.
A few minutes later, they entered a karst cave along the dark river, and at the top of the cave, a drop of crimson solution was falling, Zhao Yiming thought it was blood, but Xia Siyu next to him had already shouted with surprise on his face: "It's chalcedony, the color is red, this is a hundred-year-old chalcedony, and its value is comparable to an elixir." ”
"What! this thing is an elixir?" Zhao Yiming was taken aback when he heard this.
