Chapter 2: Soul Eater
The atmosphere is eerie.
As a professional mercenary, Leping naturally has his own unique perception skills for the environment, and he didn't notice the abnormality before just because, it's normal to have a strange smell in the forest, but the change in the color of the ground and grass often means something unusual......
Leping looked at Qian Fei's back and became more and more surprised.
Who the hell is he? How can you have such a keen sense of perception?
She also looked surprised, she hurriedly turned on her spiritual power, covering the surrounding ground, groping for anything suspicious!
……
How did Qian Fei know?
Hehe, the passive perception of the writing wheel eye is not in vain......
However, perception is perception, and all he can do is to detect anomalies in time, and as for finding the root of the problem, he does not have this ability.
Leping has a lot of experience in hunting, and can find anomalies through the environment and some clues.
Although she has no experience in wilderness survival, she has a unique talent that can be searched through the carpet of mental power.
This is also the main reason why Qian Fei did not insist on letting them leave.
Qian Fei was also in the wilderness for the first time, and he did not have the ability to deal with many unknown dangers alone.
As for Bai Ding, of course, he is responsible for shouting 666......
……
moment
"There!" Suddenly, he pointed at his ear.
At the same time, a cluster of extraordinarily dense grass in the distance suddenly flickered, and then it was completely lifted, revealing a pair of scarlet beast pupils behind it!
Brush Brush Brush!
Creatures the size of puppies jumped out, in all directions, and Qian Fei and the others were surrounded!
Qian Fei's eyes narrowed slightly, and he recognized their names.
Leping was also slightly stunned, and said, "Spirit devouring beast? ”
I saw a group of small demon beasts with fangs and thick scale armor staring at them not far away, looking at them with fierce faces.
They look a bit like groundhogs, with sharp fangs, but they are much taller and more robust than groundhogs, and their big ears look like pampas fans.
"Soul Eater?" He looked at Leping with some confusion.
"Well, a low-level small demon beast, dispatched in groups, and their adult strength is about the level of a human level 1 Qi Refiner, but their adult period is too long, so most of them only have a level 1 lifespan, and do not have a level 1 strength and defense ......," Leping explained.
The main reason for his surprise was that this kind of demon beast was extremely rare, after all, a demon beast like this, which had no strong strength and no strong reproduction efficiency, was already on the verge of extinction, and it was rare to see so many ...... at once
Just when everyone was listening to Leping's popular science, the Spirit Devouring Beast rushed over and poured into this grassland, completely surrounding Qian Fei and the others, and filling this space to the brim!
Leping casually took out a [sharp arrow talisman] and threw it at the beast herd, unexpectedly through several spirit devouring beasts, in front of the energy-activated arrows, the scale armor of the spirit devouring beasts was as vulnerable as fragile tofu, and was immediately penetrated, and then flew backwards with their bodies, and finally nailed directly to the trunk of the tree.
Only a pile of bloody demon beast meat was left!
Bai Ding also followed Leping's example, and threw out a [Sharp Arrow Talisman], which also missed without accident......
"The quasi-head sucks!" He pouted, and then took out a [Sharp Arrow Talisman], and his spiritual power attached to it, and he threw it out directly, unsurprisingly penetrating the five spirit devouring beasts and nailing their corpses to the trunk of the tree.
Leping showed a surprised expression, he didn't expect this pampered eldest lady to dare to hunt demon beasts, and judging by her skillful skills, it was obviously not the first time to use the [Sharp Arrow Talisman].
It seems that the training at the academy is not entirely about coping with errands......
Qian Fei also took out ......
Well, he didn't......
Qian Fei said it was unfair.
……
Seeing that his companion was killed, the Spirit Devouring Beast blew up, and then pounced on it with a low roar, and the scene was chaotic for a while, uncontrollable!
At this moment, a Yuan-devouring beast quickly flew up from behind Er'er and rushed directly towards Er'er, its sharp fangs and bloody mouth wide open, as if it was going to kill her with one blow!
Qian Fei decisively opened the writing wheel eye, clearly captured its traces, and hurriedly pulled the ear down, rolled and fell to the other side.
Bang!
Qian Fei took advantage of his inertia and kicked it out with one kick, kicking it directly to the opposite tree, smashing the big tree out of a shallow pit.
The Spirit Eater had unsurprisingly turned into a corpse.
At this time, another spirit devouring beast was cut off by Leping, and landed steadily on the grass beside him, its big beast pupils still open, as if wondering why he couldn't move......
It can be seen that Leping's actual combat experience is far richer than Qian Fei's, his speed is very fast, there are almost no superfluous movements, everything is based on fast, accurate and ruthless, one hit will kill, never drag mud and water!
Jiao Er turned his head, and was about to say something to Qian Fei, and then when he saw this scene, he seemed to feel that it was not right, and this hideous head also blinked subconsciously and died......
Qian Fei secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly covered his ears.
really
"Ahh
A sharp exclamation, and the ears were frightened!
……
After a while, the remaining demon beasts were all dealt with by Leping and Qian Fei, and only then did he get up, as for Bai Ding, he had been hiding behind the two big trees, for fear that he would become the target of the spirit devouring beasts.
The ground was littered with severed limbs and stumps, and the corpses of the Soul Devouring Beasts with blurred flesh and blood looked a little scary.
Occasionally, a relatively complete soul devouring beast could be seen, and Leping was digging out its heart with a knife, and then sighed helplessly.
Leping raised the filthy short knife in his hand to Qian Fei, and said, "There is no demon core......
Qian Fei spread his hands and said that it didn't matter.
As we all know, almost all level 1 demon beasts will produce a kind of crystal called demon core in their bodies, similar to the "inner dan" in the previous fantasy, but this situation only exists with demon beasts above level 1, and the group of spirit devouring beasts in front of them is not level 1.
The cultivation of demon beasts is not like that of other living beings, they cannot gain strength through their own efforts, they can only accumulate bloodlines through killing and devouring, and use the rich bloodlines to give birth to high-strength demon cores, and demon cores are their source of energy.
Their long lifespan, strength and defense far beyond those of humans of the same level, as well as the power of the rich bloodline, all come from it!
Since the demon core is a power crystal spawned by demon beasts by constantly devouring other creatures, the energy of the demon core is extremely mixed and violent, and it is almost impossible to refine the energy in it through normal means.
With the assistance of special runes, humans can simply withdraw the energy in it, but the utilization rate is generally less than 10%, and even the top runes can extract at most 20% of the usable energy!
Due to the limitations of rune technology, it is difficult for humans to make breakthroughs in quality, so they can only be forced to use quantity to make up for the gap, and finally give birth to professional mercenaries who specialize in hunting monsters to obtain demon cores.
This is the main business of the LTTE.
But hunting demon beasts is not so easy, the more powerful the demon beast is, the more powerful the demon core in the body, but at the same time, the higher the difficulty of its hunting, it can be said that danger and opportunity coexist.
But even so, the Elemental Eaters aren't without their use - their flesh is ready to eat, and they're packed with energy!
This is also the reason why their numbers are getting smaller and smaller: they are not strong but the meat is tender, and there are many of them, and clusters appear......
Among the vast majority of carnivorous monsters, they are well-deserved walking reserves!
