Chapter 13: Growth
On the endless wilderness, the remnant sun is like blood, and it is trying to radiate the last rays of light; The desolate ancient road, the warm gusts of wind blew, rolling up a puff of dust, only the last few vultures that did not forage soared in the air, "squeak" and "squeak" sounded from time to time, adding a touch of desolate atmosphere.
But at this time, which was supposed to be as usual, and immediately fell into the silence of the night, there was obviously an unusual movement with a slight tremor on the ground; In the distance, I saw that dozens of horned beasts were galloping wildly, and on them, each of them sat a figure; When I got closer, Liu Ming's figure was also impressively among them, obviously these were all members of the Tianfeng team.
"Stop!"
As Hua Yu shouted to stop, the speed of the entire horned beast team suddenly slowed down, and then the rest of the people controlled their mounts and stopped in one place; High in the sky, after a crisp soft whistling, two knights riding the Hippogriff Bird suddenly swooped down in the air,
"Captain"?
"Let's camp here tonight, rest for the night, and we'll continue on our way tomorrow! You first survey this prescription dozens of miles away, and you two will have to work harder tonight! ”
"We know this, don't worry, leave it to us! Oh yes! It seems that our dinner has been brought to us just now, and it will be in about half an hour, so don't forget to leave us a few more! ”
The two members of the reconnaissance laughed and teased, and then once again controlled the Hippogriff to rise into the sky, slowly disappearing from sight; Hippogriff is a carnivorous beast of prey, with a strong torso and limbs like a lion, a pair of huge wings on its back, and an enlarged version of an eagle's head.
Although the flight speed is not as fast as that of birds in the traditional sense, it has extremely strong combat effectiveness and is an ideal mount partner; In order to add these two Hippogriffs, the members of the entire Tianfeng Squad also fought hard once, gritted their teeth before buying them, and spent a huge amount of assets.
But he had to do this, after all, he had been fighting for life and death in a barbaric area for a long time, and he had not done sufficient reconnaissance work and sharp intelligence, and he was almost joking with his own life; High-altitude reconnaissance can easily detect the threat ahead, so that you can choose to meet or retreat; The safety factor can be greatly improved; Otherwise, you will directly crash into the herd, or you will be wrapped in dumplings when the herd comes!
This is also where the Tianfeng team is very proud! Ordinary teams may not even be able to afford flying battle pets.
"The rest of the personnel prepare for themselves! We're here tonight; Oh yes! Liu Ming, prepare it, our dinner is coming soon, and I'll leave it to you to solve! ”
Huayu, the obscene uncle, must have nothing good to do when he speaks! Liu Ming was a little helpless, and sure enough, it was himself again.
It has been almost ten days since the departure of the team; In this rapid march, not only did he see more things, but it also opened his eyes and made him miserable;
Not to mention the risks of the outside world, first of all, a long and rapid march; The wilderness is located in a barren and desolate area, most of the area is a wilderness plain area, it is rare to see other scenes, it is a yellow sand wasteland, monotonous and maddening; The scorching sun and dryness were also one of the cruel tests, and even when he stopped every day, he secretly sighed and missed the old leisure.
The long jolting on horseback made him try it for the first time, although it was strengthened and improved, but it also made his legs weak for a while when he got off the horned beast in the first two days; Not to mention that he can participate in the battle to help, it is good that he can take care of himself; Fortunately, he is a very adaptable person, and his strong will allows him to persist as always without the slightest complaint.
It took several days for the situation to get better, but the danger of the wilderness area really began to manifest itself; Since the third day, there have been scattered demon beasts or groups of beasts attacking, and even encountered thousands of beast tides at one time, but fortunately, the investigators in charge of the sky gave a timely warning, and it took a lot of exhaustion to get rid of it.
The danger in the wilderness made Liu Ming, who had really seen it, know that it was cruel; On the way, he will also pass through some tribes and go inside to make some supplies, which makes Liu Ming sigh for a while, when he first came to this world, he also suddenly appeared in such a tribe, after some twists and turns, it was really a sigh in retrospect.
But such a tribe learned from the conversation with Hua Yu that without the garrison of the city wall and a large number of people, if they are lucky, they can survive without encountering the beast tide; If you're unlucky, maybe tomorrow a beast tide army will attack, and the entire tribe will have hundreds or thousands of people in an instant;
It's not like tribal warfare where there is a chance of survival, and if you encounter these beast tides, no one will be spared; This is the cruel surname of this world, survival of the fittest;
When encountering a large group of beasts and powerful demon beasts, the general policy adopted by Huayu is to hide if he can, and everything is mainly in a hurry; In this way, the journey can reach about 500 kilometers in a day; But as Liu Ming gradually got used to it, the speed slowly slowed down, according to Hua Yu's obscene uncle's words, he had to let the newcomers practice more to adapt to this bloody and cruel combat life, avoid dragging the team's hind legs, and accelerate the speed of becoming stronger.
So in the next day, Liu Ming's bitter words came; It was not easy to adapt to the day of riding a horned beast on the road, and immediately the style changed again, and all kinds of battles large and small began to come one after another; His current strength is barely a third-tier celestial cultivator, but his foundation is a little weaker; But it was barely able to keep up with the crowd.
Every time they encounter an unavoidable battle, after everyone quickly dissolves the threat, they will specially leave a few as the stones of Liu Ming's trial; According to the distribution of the strength and number of demon beasts, every time it can make Liu Ming's desire to fight to death, and it takes all his strength to win the battle.
It is also thanks to his special physique, otherwise after a long period of various trainings, ordinary people would have fallen down long ago; However, it is also because of this almost crazy tempering that Liu Ming's combat experience is also growing rapidly; He was already experienced in fighting people, but when it came to fighting monsters, it would be miserable.
At the beginning, even a few Heavenly Fanged Pig Beasts equivalent to refining the body had to make him struggle to achieve victory, not to mention the time and effort, and he was almost injured; If it were to be replaced by any member of the Heavenly Wind Squad, it would definitely not take more than a few breaths to be able to deal with these little demon beasts that did not enter the stream; With the guidance of a group of members of the Heavenly Wind Squad who had been fighting with demon beasts for a long time, he quickly began to learn and adapt.
Up to now, he has been able to exert his strength to seven or eight percent, and he can fight with the Triple Heavenly Demon Beast of the Refining Body, and he can hold on to it, of course, only temporarily; In any case, Liu Ming is growing rapidly in the battle day by day, and has even been unanimously recognized by everyone, secretly sighing that the person that the captain values does have some ability.
So much so that later, as long as a small group of demon beasts attacked, as long as there was no big threat, Liu Ming carried his small short blade alone; The reputation is to train and enrich his combat experience, this gang of evil guys.
Hearing Hua Yu say this this time, Liu Ming already knew that there must be a small group of demon beasts that did not open his eyes again, and in the face of this scene, he could only roll his eyes helplessly, looked at this evil uncle, pulled out his small short blade, and slowly walked to the front of the team to silently alert.
Although he looked very helpless, but in fact, he was extremely excited and enjoyed in his heart, and with the battles one after another, he felt that he was steadily improving regardless of his combat experience and strength; This feeling makes him addicted, in this case, even if it is a little harder and more tired, what does it matter?
Moreover, he is also very grateful to all the members, if it weren't for their help and help, he would not have been able to grow so quickly in this short period of time.
Sure enough, less than a moment later, several fat-looking fanged pig beasts rushed out, the fangs of the surname and the strong body shape, like a brute bull, the speed and impact of the strength are extremely strong demon beasts, looking at their size, these fanged pigs are probably equivalent to the realm of the double heaven of body refining.
looked at the guy who could embarrass himself with any one before, but at this time, he walked up with ease;
"Hey! Liu boy, this time it's good luck! There are such delicious dishes delivered to the door, remember to wait for your subordinates to pay attention to proportion, don't waste good meat, it's very good to make a roast whole pig! Don't make it all meatloaf! ”
"I really don't know what kind of monster you kid is, you're so crazy when you're fighting, and you like to play corpse abuse!"
Afraid that Liu Ming would "abuse the corpse" of the food again, the big stomach king Chenlong and the armored leopard shouted loudly, they didn't want to pick up the dusty meat from the ground to eat, and hurriedly reminded them.
Liu Ming rolled his eyes, his speed suddenly exploded, and he rushed towards these fanged beasts quickly; Seeing that the food in front of them actually launched a counter-charge against them, the stimulated few tusked beasts immediately howled a few times, and then used their long fangs to slam into the target with their long fangs.
At the moment when the two were about to make contact, Liu Ming slightly, with a quick wrong step under his feet, the upper body twisted and turned and flashed the attack of a fanged beast, and at the same time, the cold light in his hand flashed, and lightning slashed through its throat, and in an instant, blood splashed, and a terrifying wound suddenly appeared!
The fanged beast, which had been hit so hard, let out a scream, staggered and fell to the ground, but then quickly stood up and crashed towards Liu Ming even more frantically; This is the strength of the vitality of the demon beast, even if it is seriously fatally damaged, it can burst out with more terrifying and crazy combat power in a short period of time.
In the face of such a situation, Liu Ming still did not panic in the slightest, and even the range of movement under his feet did not change much, relying on the subtle pace change and quick reaction, these fanged beasts couldn't even touch the corners of his clothes; From time to time, he took the time to leave wounds on the bodies of these big guys.
With an opportunity, he slashed again at the throat wound in the first place, which was already somewhat non-tusked; This knife came even more ruthlessly, directly cutting its trachea, and receiving a fatal blow, the poor big creature immediately fell to the ground and struggled desperately, and then there was no sound.
According to the law, in a short period of time, several ferocious fanged beasts fell to the ground; Only a short moment has passed, not only has he successfully killed a few demon beasts with good strength, but he has not been damaged in the slightest, although he is a few small demon beasts that are not in the stream, but his progress can be seen;
"Good job Willow boy! We've got a good mouth tonight."
Yuzi slowly lived a thrilling and exciting life, every day was full of different challenges and faces, and slowly Liu Ming began to integrate into this small team and became a member accepted by others.
Finally, after a long journey of almost a month, in the distance, a huge rolling mountain range appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and there was no edge in sight, like a giant dragon coiled between heaven and earth, majestic and magnificent is synonymous with it; For a while, everyone was shocked by this majestic scene, and secretly pondered!
The prestige of the Hengduan Mountains is synonymous with death and bloody wealth, and here we come
