Chapter 317: Unreliable teammates
"What did you find?" Seeing Lu Xiu frowning, Lu Yingying also approached. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeใ info
"Look here." The dragonman plucked the cage hand from his right hand and stretched out his fingers to cautiously touch the mottled trunk in front of him. A burning sensation fed back to the young man's fingertips, and he withdrew his hand and wiped his fingers on the armor, "This sap is poisonous?" โ
"How is that possible," said the little scholar, "these are just ordinary cedar trees. The girl crouched down, and the skin of the tree in front of her had festered to the point that it had festered, and the soil around her had a strange purple color, "This is foreign venom." โ
"Monsters?"
Lu Yingying re-unfolded the map and searched back and forth on the nearby nodes, "Strange, the nearby is the territory of the water beast group, and its only poisonous subspecies of purple water beast is not suitable for such a living environment. Could it be that the territory changed hands overnight? โ
This puddle of venom is just as much a sign of territory as other monsters have left a trail of deposition, and perhaps some new monster has made their home here.
"All in all, let's be on guard." Lu Xiu pressed a hand on the hilt of the big sword behind his back, "Let's leave quickly, staying here always feels like being spied on." โ
"Oops!" was pulled by the boy involuntarily took his hand, Lu Yingying's face couldn't help but turn red, her arm twisted and struggled twice, but she couldn't escape the other party's powerful hand, so she had to give up.
The two of them quickened their pace again, so that after ten minutes, there were more and more corroded trees and ferns on the side of the road, one appearing almost every few meters, and the degree of decay became more and more violent. Further on, a tree that had been eroded by the venom came into view, the cedar tree was tall and thick, and the trees and ferns on both sides were also particularly dense, and the two teenagers were blocked by it and had to stop again.
"The monster's footprints are still new." Lu Xiu touched the messy footprints under his feet.
"Bird and dragon species, four toes," the little scholar observed carefully with a professional attitude, "the depth of the pit is more than three fingers, and the length is close to a meter...... This guy weighs at least two tons. โ
"Will use poisonous large ornithosaurus species, is there anything consistent with your impression?" The traces of monsters appear frequently, maybe the main lord is already very close to them, even if he doesn't want to waste time on monsters, but Lu Xiu must be ready to fight at any time.
"Impressions...... You're a hunter, don't you know what kind of monster this is? Lu Yingying tilted her head and said.
"I've only been a hunter for two months, and the monsters I know are limited to the ones that Uncle Mo caught me." The little dragon man was a little impatient, "You're a scribe, of course I have to ask you." โ
"What a ferocity." The girl muttered, and then said aloud, "I've read so many books, how can I remember them all for a while?" โ
"This section is still wet." Luciu completely ignored the little scrivener's complaints, "This is a chisel mark...... No, the monster that eroded this tree was deliberate, it's still nearby! โ
"Still ......" Lu Yingying was startled.
In the afterglow, a large blue-green head with a brown beak that encompassed half of the head reached towards the girl's cheek.
"Ding!" The tip of the beak collided with the greatsword, and there was a crisp sound. The little dragon man was a few meters away from the scribe, and as soon as the monster sneaked in, the boy drew his sword and ran, narrowly blocking the first blow from the defense.
"Hide!" Lu Xiu's muscles bulged, and the big sword in front of him slapped out with his backhand, causing the giant bird to stumble backwards. The monster did not expect that the blow he was determined to win would be met with such an amount of resistance. It looked at Lu Xiu with interest, and touched its beak up and down, making a terrible "da-da" sound.
The little scribe was so frightened by the sudden attack that it took him a long time to scream out of his mouth. The monster's old bark-like beak and sharp fangs in its mouth were still visible, making it difficult for the girl's four stiff legs to move.
"What a daze, hide behind a tree!" Lu Xiu looked at the monster vigilantly with his sword crossed, and shouted sharply. The girl stumbled to her feet, ran to the stump of the fallen tree, and cowered and refused to come out.
The dragon man finally took the time to identify the monster in front of him, the previous guess was good, this guy is indeed a bird dragon species, with a body length of more than ten meters, and a height of more than four meters, a curved brown beak is particularly special. The monster's body was not scaled at all, but was wrapped under a strange turquoise skin, and its body color was close to the background color of the swamp, no wonder the two teenagers didn't notice it.
"It's a poisonous monster bird," Lu Yingying said in a weak voice as she hid behind a tree stump, "Beware of venom." โ
"Does it have any weaknesses?" Lu Xiu approached the behemoth in front of him step by step.
"I don't ...... Probably not, but be careful with Venom! The little scribe pursed his lips with an embarrassed look before replying.
Lu Xiu made up his mind, although the young man was not afraid under the blessing of the dragonman bloodline, he could clearly feel the strength of the other party, since this monster called the Poison Monster Bird had no special abilities, it probably only had strength and speed.
The last thing dragonmen fear is frontal combat.
The young man exhaled, dragging the big sword and rushing towards the other party, he followed Jia Xiao in the camp to practice the basic posture of the big sword for several days, and the actions of attacking and moving have taken shape, at least he will no longer use weapons to slash indiscriminately, wasting physical strength.
The poisonous monster bird's neck stretched out, and its hard beak slammed into it, and Lu Xiu's feet slid down, staggering past the monster's attack, and slashing a sword cleanly at the junction of the opponent's wings and body.
"Poofโ"
The sword body entered the flesh, but Lu Xiu's eyebrows wrinkled, and the feedback from the sword blade was too strange, not like it was cut into the flesh, but like it had sunk into a pool of foam. The young man looked up, and the blade of the big sword sank into the skin of the poisonous monster bird less than an inch, and he couldn't cut even a trace of oily skin, but the skin around the focus point was covered with a layer of fine ripples, dissolving the slash cleanly.
"How ......"
The sword barely did any damage, and a hint of pride flashed in the eyes of the poisonous monster bird, and its feet turned sideways, and its thick tail flung towards Lu Xiu like a whip. Lu Xiu subconsciously drew the sword rung, and before he could block the action, the monster's elastic tail instantly stretched out, bypassing the sword body and slamming it into his face.
"Brush!"
This sound exploded in Lu Xiu's ears like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and the little dragonman's body flew out uncontrollably, and he hurriedly plunged the blade of the heavy sword into the ground before returning to normal. The young man's left hand swept towards his face, and a sticky colloidal touch covered his face, even covering the scars of the tail whip.
"Didn't you say this monster's skin is made of rubber!" Lu Xiu gasped and said.
"Rubber...... Is there such a thing? The little scribe said innocently, "I...... I forgot. โ
