Chapter Seventy-Five: The Beast Tide
The sea of trees and laterite forests are the more central areas of the whole continent, close to the tropics. Further north, there is a forbidden land that the entire human civilization has hardly set foot in.
But there are also more complete maps, which come from the knowledge gained by unlocking the pyramid levels, and also from the exploration of the human sages.
Because the mining area was first visited by humans, the location is conveniently in the subtemperate zone of the southern hemisphere, and even after hundreds of years due to climatic reasons, the mining bases of various human fortresses are also near these areas.
The northern part of the sea of trees is collectively known as the Northern Regions. Correspondingly, south of the continent of Amara in the southern hemisphere, it becomes the Southern Regions.
So the scope of human activities is actually very small. Right in the middle of the world, just as they are in the real world.
Although there are many pioneers in the world of mining areas who have set foot and drawn a relatively complete map, the concept of setting foot and conquering are completely different.
And the Yopera Plain, where human beings are about to prepare for the war, is in the northern region, but it is extremely close to the west, and the current shipping routes are also extremely far away from the sea of trees. This is also in line with Tang Xian's calculations.
The battle route of human conquest of mining areas should be relatively circuitous. For decades, Jukai should be a relatively secluded area.
Tang Xian and his party are stepping into the Northern Regions.
In less than fourteen hours, they had already encountered several waves of creatures from the mines.
Tang Xian carefully calculated, the strength of Winter Dye was close to that of elite-level ordinary creatures, and weaker than BSS-level creatures.
But with Qiao Shanshan's help, Winter Dye can even fight a perfect-level creature. At least it can hold off time.
Akasi's awakened combat ability is speed, and with Thunderbolt's serum, his speed is even more exaggerated.
But the weakness is also obvious, sharp weapons are not easy to use in the mining area, and his attack ability is in some cases even inferior to the wind pressure of Winter Dye.
However, the terrifying speed makes Akasi almost one-sided when facing elite-level creatures and even perfect-level creatures. It's so fast that the creatures in the mining area can't react.
Tang Xian did not use the spray extracted from the red line grass by Shanglu.
Along the way, he deliberately wanted to get close to the creatures in the mines.
Once there is no red thread grass, the human taste naturally has a certain attraction for these creatures.
The group had come to the wasteland in the northern part of the Remnant Canyon.
Further north, there is the Scarlet Wasteland, and after reaching the Scarlet Wasteland, go northwest to the White Bone Mountains.
The terrain here is flat, there are not many trees, and life is relatively scarce.
But the creatures encountered are more tricky.
Along the way, Tang Xian also asked a lot of creatures through Tang Ga Squeak, there were birds and beasts, and everyone also got some useful value.
Walking on the mud,
"In a few hours, it should rain, so find a place to shelter from the rain tonight."
Qiao Shanshan asked puzzledly:
"Those animals said that they did see a big snake passing by three days ago, but why did they follow this direction, in this open place, but there was no trace?"
Tang Xian didn't answer, he shook his head and said:
"I don't know."
Dong Ran was surprised, it was the first time he heard Brother Tang say he didn't know about the knowledge of the mining area.
Qiao Shanshan looked at Tang Xian's expression, and always felt that Tang Xian had something to hide.
"Don't look at me like that, what you can tell you will tell you."
Of course, the snake does not disappear suddenly. The huge Wa snake is more than ten times larger than the Amazon Moridu, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are dragons walking on the ground.
But if you become a human, you will definitely shrink a lot.
The huge nine-tailed demon fox can be transformed into a woman with all kinds of charms. The white-scaled snake demon might be able to do the same. Of course, it could also become something else.
This means that the snake is probably about to evolve or has already done it.
Before arriving at the Scarlet Wasteland, the group found a cave and built a bonfire in the cave.
Dong Ran stroked the little head of Tang Refrigerator, and his fingers shaved the cat's cheeks from time to time, and this colored cat was obviously also very useful.
Tang Xiaojiu opened the prop bag, took out the fish, and looked at Tang Xian with blank eyes.
Joe Shanshan says:
"The snake has been gone for a long time, what if we don't find it in seven days?"
"The place we're going to shouldn't be able to reach it in seven days at this rate, and we'll return to the pyramid once along the way."
Qiao Shanshan nodded, this was similar to what she thought.
Tang Xian saw her uneasiness and said:
"In fact, we shouldn't divide each region into red areas and yellow areas, after all, it is not impossible for blue areas to encounter powerful creatures, and dividing a safe zone will only lower the vigilance in my heart. But don't worry too much, a team like ours, as long as you are vigilant at all times, can deal with general dangers. ”
Tang Xian glanced at Tang Suoye. Still asleep.
In retrospect, Akath has an extremely biased ability and is too fast, but the other stats are mediocre.
Tang Xiaojiu is a hole card, and Tang Xian is a player who can trust himself, but he is still in the spirit of being able to not expose it.
If Tang Suoye can wake up, his chances of winning against Cataclysmic creatures will be much greater.
The bonfire was lit and the group sat around it and began to enjoy the food.
Dong Ran and Qiao Shanshan were chatting about some trivial matters, and Tang Xiaojiu was eating without distraction.
Tang Xian's nose moved, and his expression gradually became solemn, but he was still a little uncertain.
Ten minutes later, Akasi opened his squinted eyes, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he glanced at Tang Xian.
Tang Xian shook his head slightly, signaling to be restless.
The enhanced sense of smell gave Tang Xian an extremely distant detection ability.
Akath relied on a keen sense of slight vibrations.
Both of them noticed that something was approaching. It's just not clear what the situation is.
The feedback given by the sense of smell is very complicated, and it is a situation that Tang Xian can't even judge.
After a while, Dong Dye suddenly said:
"Sister Shanshan, did you feel a slight vibration?"
Qiao Shanshan was stunned for a moment, the two girls were originally sitting far away, talking some whispers between girls.
Immediately, Qiao Shanshan glanced at her water glass, and the water streaks in the cup indicated that it was indeed shaking.
"It's a low mountain, it's impossible to collapse, and I've never heard of an earthquake in the terrain here. What's the deal with this slight tremor? Qiao Shanshan said.
She looked at Tang Xian in confusion.
Tang Xian's expression became more and more solemn:
"When you're in danger, find something to plug the hole and put out the bonfire! Fast! ”
Akasi also got up and prepared to take out the red thread grass in the prop bag.
Tang Xian stopped: "Don't use this thing, they should be patrolling the territory, and the smell of red line grass will expose us at this time." ”
Akasi nodded, extinguishing the campfire.
"Put all the food back in the prop bag! Don't leave anything behind! ”
Tang Xiaojiu was a little reluctant, and the two small animals, Tang Ga Squeak and Tang Refrigerator, shrank behind Akasi.
They are creatures of the mines, and they also sense the smell of danger, especially the touch of the ground gently shaking, which makes them even more frightened.
Dong Ran looked at Tang Xian's expression, and asked in a trembling voice, "Brother Tang...... What's going on? ”
Tang Xian looked around and said in a condensed voice: "Everyone wait a while, lie on their stomachs, stick around the cave wall, and don't make a sound if you can."
Akasi seems to have experienced such a scene. But never has it been so terrifying.
He estimated that it was the migration of the beasts, but where would there be such a big battle?
Tang Xian leaned out of the cave and looked north, he couldn't see anything outside the cave, it was getting late, and he couldn't see too far away.
At the end of the line of sight, there was still nothing, but the smell in the snort was getting stronger and stronger!
Several people in the cave didn't dare to speak, and Akasi put his ear to the ground, and after another ten minutes, Akasi's pupils shrank,
Tang Xian's eyes widened as well.
On the edge of the setting sun, in the last remnants of the red light, the smoke and dust in the sky appeared.
Countless Wasteland Cattle from the North, under the leadership of the new leader Yi Niu, are running wildly!
It was as if all the Wasteland cattle in a whole blood-colored wasteland had gathered together, and they were running straight in a certain direction!
Tang Xian suddenly retracted his body back into the cave. Like Akasi, he pressed against the ground and made a boo gesture at the same time. (, domain name (remember _ three.)
The crowd lay on their stomachs, looking at the magnificent sight outside the cave that they had never seen before.
The iron hooves of thousands of elite-level creatures resounded at the junction of the Remnant Canyon and the Scarlet Wasteland.
This scene is so spectacular that although everyone knows that the mining area is dozens of times more numerous than the human population combined, it is rare to see such a large-scale action of the mining creatures.
No one dared to make a sound. Although these creatures are elite-level creatures, they change quantitatively and qualitatively.
Even dozens of regular combat troops will be instantly crushed by a herd of cattle of this size!
For half an hour, the mighty herd of cattle rushed over, during which Tang Xian found that not only the herd, zebras, antelopes, and even lions, but also some enhanced-level elite-level creatures were all among them.
No wonder the whole earth trembled.
Long after the creatures had gone in an unknowable direction, Winter Dye asked:
"Brother Tang, are we safe?"
Tang Xian shook his head and said, "There is still a wave of the epicenter. Don't move while lying on your stomach. There are also a lot of birds in the sky. ”
After the deafening sound of iron hooves died down, the shrill bird cries in the sky resounded in everyone's ears.
Tang Ga let out a crunching sound and said:
"There are Zudunns! Crunch! ”
Qiao Shanshan was puzzled and said, "What are the Zudun people?" ”
Tang Xian moved, looked at Tang Ga Squeak, and said, "Tang Ga Squeak, are you sure?" ”
"Yes! Crunch! It's a night vulture flying in the sky! ”
"Brother Tang, what are the Zudun people?"
"A perfection-class BSS creature."
"It's just...... Perfection only. We're all going to hunt the Scourge class...... Don't worry so much. Winter Dye said uncertainly.
Tang Xian shook his head, after all, the Zudun people were extremely rare creatures, and Dong Ran and Qiao Shanshan didn't know, and they couldn't say anything.
But he still said:
"We walk in nature and prey on all things, but we should also be in awe of all things. It is true that following me these days, you think that the days of the sea of trees are very comfortable, but don't forget, this is a bad world that isolates the entire human civilization in the cracks. ”
It was rare for Dong Ran to see Tang Xian speak so seriously, and he was a little worried.
At this time, everyone felt that the originally calm earth began to tremble violently!
The magnitude of the earthquake is far more exaggerated than the tens of thousands of creatures running wildly!
Tang Xian made a silent gesture again.
He didn't dare poke his head out, but he knew it should be dark by now.
It's as if one second it's dusk, and the next it's night.
It wasn't nightfall, but giants walking like mountains, obscuring all light.
The huge ball area is close to a basketball court, and you can imagine how big and huge its whole body is.
The feedback of the sense of smell told Tang Xian that there were nearly forty Zudun giants here.
His breath strained.
Creatures that are too large have significant drawbacks, but they also have huge combat advantages.
A single Zudun giant, Tang Xian naturally didn't care, but there were forty perfect-level BSSs walking through.
Feeling the sound of their terrifying footsteps, he was really worried that if one foot accidentally stepped on this low mountain, everyone would be seriously injured even if they did not die.
Winter Dye covered his mouth, his eyes were about to burst out, he wanted to make a sound, but he didn't dare to speak.
Not only Dong Ran, but even Qiao Shanshan and Tang Xiaojiu, and even Akasi's expressions were extremely dignified.
In sight, they saw a large pupil.
A Zudun crouched down, as if sensing the breath of the cave.
It bent over, its face against the ground, but the entrance to the cave was too small for it.
So what everyone saw was a huge eye!
Tang Xian had his back to the cave, and his body was only a meter away from this eye.
Cold sweat overflowed from Tang Xian's back. Even if he didn't see this eye, he probably knew the current situation from the expressions of everyone.
The huge eyes turned, and finally focused on Tang Xiaojiu.
Puzzled gaze. After looking at Tang Xiaojiu for a long time, it fell back to Tang Xian.
For the people in the cave, this feeling is like facing an alien that looks like an eye.
Then it let out a loud roar.
Why are you with humans?
Such information flashed in the sea of knowledge, and Tang Xian was taken aback. Suddenly reacted.
Yes, the legendary Giant Clan, the Zudun people are perfect-level BSS units, so they can naturally communicate with themselves.
But Tang Xian didn't speak.
What happened today sent a lot of thoughts through his mind.
The Scarlet Wastes have been a habitat for cattle for hundreds of years.
And those lion antelopes must have come from other forests in the northern regions, and Zudun was huge, hiding in Daze like a stone sculpture all year round.
None of them are creatures that should be in this place.
Why did the snake move south from the far north, even at the expense of facing the fox clan with a catastrophic BSS unit?
Tang Xian thought about whether it could have anything to do with the white-scaled snake demon, but then shook his head again.
Unlikely.
With a herd of beasts of that size, as well as these forty or so Zudun giants, it is impossible for a catastrophe-level BSS to cause such a big impact, even a catastrophe-level BSS.
Don't speak? Then I'll take my people and go first.
The huge eyes blinked, and slowly left the cave.
The information in the sea made Tang Xian unable to calm down for a long time.
Until the real night fell, until the earth was already calm, Tang Xian's group was still vigilant.
After a long time, Tang Xian said in a deep voice:
"Historically, there has been a record of such a great migration, not just one biological, but a collective migration of the ecosphere of several regions."
"It was three hundred years ago, when the scholar Publius traveled to the Southern Regions to see it. Contrary to what we have experienced, the creatures are from south to north. And this group of creatures goes from north to south. ”
Tang Xian took a deep breath, calmed down, and lit a bonfire.
Qiao Shanshan Dongran saw Tang Xian's expression regain her calmness, and she was also at ease.
Seeing Tang Xian's calm and normal appearance, he instinctively felt a sense of security.
As for the beast tide not long ago, it was the first time they had seen Tang Xian so nervous.
"What is the reason for the migration?" Qiao Shanshan asked.
"Publius only put forward the hypothesis that the world has some kind of special force field that resonates with the crystals in the brain of living beings, but this force field will change for some special reason."
"Some creatures are unaffected, while others are driven away by this force field."
"I have no way of confirming Publius's point. Because he mentioned a statement that struck me a little scary. ”
Akasi was curious, "What is the statement?" ”
"He was a scholar who had traveled farther than Fernando, and he had seen the remains of creatures of the north in the far south, and the footprints of creatures of the plains of the east in the highlands of the west."
"Does that mean?" Qiao Shanshan was puzzled.
"It doesn't mean much, but the scholar had a very bold conjecture that he thinks there is something in this world that controls the habits of living things."
Dong Ran didn't understand this concept, Qiao Shanshan shook her head and said:
"That's, isn't it?"
Tang Xian didn't respond, and thought of the Ten Thousand Beasts Court mentioned by Qing Jiuyu in his mind.
Qing Jiuyu is a catastrophe-level BSS creature, and among the creatures known to mankind, she is enough to be the strongest, but it seems that she also has to obey the orders of the Ten Thousand Beasts Court.
Tang Xian shook his head and said:
"Have a good rest, this migration does not affect our hunting, but I hope that while you are not afraid of this world, you will not underestimate this world."
Dong Ran and Qiao Shanshan nodded. Qiao Shanshan originally wanted to ask if she could find the snake, but looking at Tang Xian's appearance, she should be a little sure.
Tang Xiaojiu suddenly said:
"Brother Tang Xian, I miss Aunt Qing. We're done catching the big snake and we're going to see if she's a duck. ”
"Yes, I have something I want to ask her. Take the snake gall and she should be happy. ”
Dong Ran was startled, and Qiao Shanshan also pricked up her ears.
Tang Xiaojiu's identity and the two daughters were very curious, and Akasi was also a little curious, unlike the second daughter, he could detect some strange aura of this little girl.
It's a feeling more dangerous than a perfection-class creature.
Dong Ran asked in a hurry:
"Brother Tang, who is Aunt Qing?"
"Do you want to ask yourself, or do you want to ask for your second lady?"
"When...... Of course, it's for the second lady to ask ......"
"Oh, don't tell you. Tang Xiaojiu, you are not allowed to tell them. ”
"Oh, big-breasted sister, Brother Tang Xian won't let me tell you, and you don't have to ask me." Tang Xiaojiu said.
"......" Fuyuran stopped talking.
Qiao Shanshan was stunned again, there were so many women Tang Xian knew...... It seems that the second lady of the winter dyeing family should have some interest in Tang Xian. Sometimes I feel that Dong Ran looks at Tang Xian's appearance and admires it. That Aunt Qing is estimated to have something to do with Xiao Jiu, did she entrust the little girl to Tang Xian? The relationship is certainly not ordinary.
Hmph, scumbag stone hammer.
