Chapter 40: Retreat
"It's not good, let's get out." Chen Chao took his son's hand and hurriedly shouted.
"Retreat, this is already a whirlpool of beasts. First come to me for a gathering. Li Xing issued an order at the right time.
Everyone knew that there was no time to delay, so they gathered around Li Xing in a few clicks, with the sword hand rushing forward and the archer behind forming a simple defensive circle.
In front of everyone, a large group of snakes of all kinds swarmed, and the spectacle was not comparable to the earthworm swarms that crawled out of the ground after a rainstorm.
The target of the group of snakes was obviously not this group of humans, and their crawling speed was not very fast, so Li Xing and the others had plenty of time, their knives and guns were unsheathed, and they were ready for a surprise attack with bows and arrows. And take advantage of such a rare time to give good snake medicine to hunters who have been bitten by snakes before, and the bitten calves have also been tightly tied with cloth bands to prevent the rapid flow of blood.
"Chen Chao, you and Chen Long are responsible for supporting the injured Ah Shui, just follow the back of the team. The others followed me out of the way. After seeing that everything was ready, Li Xing, the supreme commander, assigned the task to start breaking through.
"Good!" The crowd responded in unison.
"The knife hand is responsible for defending and opening the way, don't take the initiative to attack, and if there is a branch blocking the way, you will split it for me. Remember, we're a team, and you can't just get through it. Everyone's speed is based on me, don't be too fast or too slow, and remember not to scatter the formation. Remember them all! ”
"Remember!"
"Good! Let's go! Launch! Li Xing chose a road with fewer snakes, and led everyone to break through with a finger from the tip of the knife.
"Buzz??? Buzz???" When the archers heard the command, their fingers loosened, and with the sound of the bowstring, a volley of sharp arrows was fired at the snakes blocking their way.
Li Xing led everyone in the platoon to advance slowly in small steps, and after three small steps, the sound of a bowstring sounded behind him, and another row of sharp arrows killed the enemy.
After four or five rounds of salvos, the small tree in front of Li Xing was like a bowl of leftover noodles splashed on the canopy of the small tree, and it was full of bloody "dried noodles".
Although the target of the group of snakes was not Li Xing's group, after being attacked, some snakes nearby naturally counterattacked.
The big weapons of snakes are just a pair of fangs and a sinister sneak attack in the shadows, and it is natural to have a face-to-face confrontation with this group of hunters who are quick to see and hold sharp weapons.
The swordsmen raised and fell, and there was already a snake with a different head. The gunners either threw two or three snakes far away with a single pick, or turned the spears into sticks, and when they fell, a remnant snake with cracked skin and bones collapsed on the ground.
But snakes have never been good, and after Li Xing and the others broke out of a snake circle, they encountered a small crisis.
Suddenly, a thigh-thick python flipped out from under the ridge, and with a sweep of the thick snake body, it swept the four knife hands on the outside to the ground. The python's bloody mouth widened, and it swallowed towards the head of the hunter who fell to the ground.
The team had been swept away by the python and had become a little disorganized, and the panicked others did not bother to help their companion in distress for a while. When the hunter saw that he was about to suffer, a white light suddenly flashed in the air.
The white light flew towards the python quickly, and the next moment the snake's blood splashed, and the python writhed in pain and weakly. Under the big neck of the giant python, a large knife slashed deep into it.
"Good knife technique! Brother Xing, your wrist strength and eye skills have improved greatly! Chen Chao praised.
"Pause and move forward, and first bring the team together." Li Xing instructed everyone to calmly pick up the only remaining family heirloom knife that was burned by his mother.
Li Xing took advantage of this gap to smile at Chen Chao and said, "Chen Chao, in the past ten years, you have been studying people, and I have been studying reading. Both of us have their own gains, you gain wealth and fame, I gain knowledge and heart, and by the way, this martial arts! ”
"That's right! But Brother Xing, you're smart! Your cultivation has not only benefited you, but also benefited Li Wen's kid a lot. You don't look like this unpromising person in my family, and your feet are so scared that your feet are weak. ”
"Dad, how can I have it!"
Chen Longcha was distracted by the crisis just now and the big snake's head that was now gushing blood, but when he heard his father's agitation, he immediately abandoned his mood and defended himself dissatisfied. At the same time, he danced the steel knife in his hand to show that he was full of courage.
After a short rest, most of the snakes did not regard them as their main target, and seized the opportunity to start breaking through again. Either inspired by Li Xing's sword and leisurely spirit, or these snakes didn't take them seriously at all, everyone was no longer hindered by the big obstacles, and they broke through without danger.
But the snake crowd inevitably made mistakes, and Li Xing's team was still injured by three more hunters. Fortunately, they were well prepared, and of course this snake medicine was available before entering the mountain. After sucking off the poisonous blood and applying snake medicine, the person who was injured by the snake was fine, and returned to Dushu Village with the support of others.
"Brother Xing, what did you say happened in the Meteorite Valley? How do we tell the folks when we go back? On the frightened return, Chen Chao and Li Xing discussed.
Hearing Li Xing and Chen Chao discussing the problem, although the hunters were also full of questions, they also closed their mouths with interest, but pricked up their ears to listen to the business discussions of the two leading figures.
"I was wondering what was going on along the way, and now I have a little bit of a figure."
"Tell me about it!" Chen Chao spoke his mind for everyone.
"Have you heard of 'Dragons Playing with Pearls'!" Li Xing asked rhetorically. Seeing that everyone nodded in unison, Li Xing said with satisfaction: "The dragon ball is a dragon ball, and the dragon ball is said to be formed by the essence of the dragon's body." Dragon Balls are the most precious to dragons, and with Dragon Balls they can cultivate well. ”
"I think that the meteorite that fell is a beast bead to the beasts!" Li Xing uttered his inference in a deep voice.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Everyone agreed in unison, their heads were like a chicken pecking rice, and they agreed with Li Xing's inference.
"Yes, you didn't look at the intoxicated look of the tiger when he stepped into the meadow, which means that the meteorite may really be a beast bead."
"Later, those animals were lying on the edge of the pit, staring at the pit, and they all looked like they were enjoying it!"
"But I've never heard of such a thing as a beast bead!"
??????
"You all shut up for me, don't disturb me and Brother Xing to discuss, how to talk to people noisily." Chen Chao drank this discussion scene with dissatisfaction.
"Is it really a beast bead? What's the matter with the Beast Beads? After Chen Chao suppressed the noise, he asked Li Xing, who was still in a pensive state.
Li Xing spread his hands to show that he was also powerless to explain, after all, the concept of this beast bead was something he had just come up with on a whim.
"However, I don't dare to say anything about Dragon Balls, after all, dragons are much more advanced than us. But we should be much more advanced than the rabbits, pheasants and boars, and even they have a sense of the meteorite, but we didn't notice it just now? We're on the cliff, so we should be a little closer than them in a straight line! This time, it was Chen Chao's turn to replace Li Wen and become the curious baby next to Li Xing.
Li Xing is used to always asking people endless questions, and this also helps him to expand his thinking. Therefore, Li Xing was not annoyed at all, and patiently explained:
"When a great natural disaster strikes, just like before a great earthquake, aren't the animals all running around with their young children in their hands? At that time, they were also fearless, not afraid of people, not afraid of natural enemies? Yet, we are unaware of the crisis that is coming.
"Is the situation in the valley similar to when the natural disaster is coming? But it was a natural disaster, and this treasure from the sky can be regarded as a heavenly joy. Before the natural disaster, the animals were fleeing for their lives, but before the day was happy, it became a desperate fight. ”
"Makes sense, it makes so much sense! Brother Xing, what you said is too reasonable! ”
Li Xing ignored Chen Chao's praise, and said in a heavy and regretful tone: "We human beings are more advanced and intelligent than the beasts, but I always feel that we have lost something, something very precious and crucial!" ”
"Don't ask me what it is, I can't think of it now, and I can't find what I've lost." Li Xing looked at Chen Chao's puzzled eyes and said with a sense of loss.
"Hey, Brother Xing, it's better for you to study, there are so many things to explore and pursue."
"What's good, there are some things you know more about??? Alas, let's talk about how to deal with this matter! ”
The origin of this meteorite really gives Li Xingchai four or five points accurate, but this is not a beast bead, this meteorite is later more accurately defined by Li Wen as a "solid god bead", it has a miraculous effect on all living beings to condense their consciousness, and it has great benefits for the growth of animals, including humans, especially the growth of the spiritual level. This is a blessing for mankind, but it's a pity??????
