Chapter 323: Soul Beast Swarm
When Xia Hao's consciousness swept through like a flood, Xia Hao finally met the consciousness of the griffin. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Without words, Xia Hao had already felt the obedience of that consciousness.
Xia Hao gave an order to the griffin, and it immediately flapped its wings and flew high into the air.
"It worked! I've got this griffin under control! Xia Hao was ecstatic.
Through the eyes of the griffin, the situation of the nameless island clearly appeared in Xia Hao's mind.
The Nameless Island covers a vast area, most of which is covered by dense forests, and when viewed from the sky, the island looks like a sea of green. Xia Hao controlled the griffin to fly towards the center of the island, but at this time, he received a strong sense of resistance, which seemed to be the griffin's survival instinct.
Xia Hao knew that there must be something hidden in the center of the island that made the griffin feel dangerous, so it would have such a big resistance, and Xia Hao didn't dare to force it, otherwise it would probably let the griffin out of his control.
The reason why Xia Hao gave up was another factor, that is, the nameless island was too big, he controlled the griffin to fly in the sky for more than ten minutes and then he felt tired, at this moment, Xia Hao saw a building complex through the griffin's gaze, which was a relatively open area, and there were faint figures flickering in it, and it was estimated that this was the base mentioned by Xiao Shisan.
Xia Hao was trying to let the griffin get closer to observe, but a few kilometers away from the complex, Xia Hao was suddenly attacked by a deep sense of exhaustion, and Xia Hao's spirit was suddenly relaxed, and the griffin controlled by Xia Hao instantly fell from the air to the ground.
The griffin is now one with Xia Hao, and the huge impact force made Xia Hao in the wooden house feel like he was hit hard, and blood oozed from his mouth and nose, Xia Hao bit the root of his tongue to sober himself up and stabilize his spirit again.
Suddenly, Xia Hao found that a black metal lid was exposed on the ground where the griffin had knocked out a large pit.
This black metal cover looks like it has been around for some years, and it is strange that it is covered by thick damp fallen leaves, but it has no rust, I don't know what kind of material this metal is made of, and there is a circle of capital English letters on the edge, Xia Hao can only recognize the word "laboratory", and the rest don't know what it means at all.
Xia Hao remembered the laboratory that Xiao Shisan said, and this metal cover obviously had some connection with that laboratory.
At this time, Xia Hao really couldn't hold on, and he left a spiritual imprint in the griffin's head, so he withdrew from the spiritual connection with the griffin.
The skill of mind control, once it becomes the target of control, can be used through the spirit imprint, allowing the user to establish a connection with it at any time, in other words, this griffin is now a slave under Xia Hao's complete control.
Before Xia Hao left, he gave orders to the griffin to guard the metal cover.
The spirit returned, Xia Hao did not stay, but immediately returned to the wooden house. Although Xia Hao's control of the griffin just now was not too long, it consumed a lot of mental power, and he needed to rest to recover his mental power.
After sleeping in the wooden house for a while, Xiao Shisan came back with a group of young people, but these people looked very tired, obviously coming here through a freighter, it was definitely not as fast and comfortable as the teleportation array.
"I know you're tired, but it's not safe here, we need to get off to the base on the island as soon as possible, it's relatively well-equipped, very well-guarded, and very safe." Xiao 13 said to the group of weak-faced Heavenly Spirit Masters, "You guys take a rest first, and after three hours, we will head towards the base." ”
This news undoubtedly made everyone very excited, most of them are from the city, and it is really difficult for them to accept it psychologically when they are suddenly asked to live a primitive life in a place where birds do not lay eggs, and fortunately they can also enter the game world of "Top of the Gods" at night, otherwise I am afraid that no one will be able to stay here.
Xia Hao was about to enter the house to pack his luggage, but was stopped by Xiao Shisan.
"What's the matter?" Xia Hao asked.
Xiao Shisan smiled bitterly: "The base is far away from here, and there will definitely be a lot of beast attacks along the way, I called you here to let you serve as a guard and assist us in escorting these people to the base safely." ”
"How far?"
"I leave in the morning, and I don't think I will arrive until the evening." Xiao Thirteen told the truth.
Xia Hao was taken aback and said, "So far? Is it safe to build a camp at that depth? ”
"Don't worry, it's very safe, there are no wild beasts around, it's close to the water source, and the only downside is that it's too far from the port." Xiao 13 explained.
"Then we need more people to be in charge of guarding, otherwise it will be difficult for the five people you brought with you to reach the base through the dangerous dense forest." Xia Hao said.
Xiao 13 was also very helpless, and said: "If we are optimistic, we will meet the person who responds halfway, but in this half of the journey, we can only rely on ourselves." The best way is naturally to wait here for the receiving team to come here to meet him, but gathering so many Heavenly Spirit Masters together is very likely to attract a group of soul beasts, so it is safer to set off early. ”
"How many people can go into battle?" Xia Hao asked.
"There are a total of six Heavenly Spirit Masters who are guarding near these wooden houses, including me, and if you add you, we only have seven relatively strong people."
"There are about thirty newly arrived Heavenly Spirit Masters in total, and if you want to take so many people on foot through the dense forest, there must be a great chance of encountering wild beasts!" Xia Hao sighed that in fact, he had a better way, and that was to use the huge griffin as a means of transportation, which could transport everyone away at once.
However, Xia Hao didn't want to reveal the secret that he could control the griffin.
Xiao Shisan shook his head helplessly, and said: "I have already told them about the situation on the island, there is no way, this is the dilemma they have to face after all, and it is not a bad thing for them to realize the cruelty of the environment earlier." If as a Heavenly Spirit Master, they don't even have the courage to face danger, then they can't have their true strength at all. ”
While Xia Hao was talking to Xiao Shisan, Da Hei walked out of the wooden house with a yawn and asked a little strangely, "Why do I feel that there are many more people in the camp?" ”
Xia Hao couldn't help but laugh at Da Hei's rough nerves, this thing didn't seem to be scared at all because of the danger on the island, but was extremely excited, and he could sleep so sweetly.
"Those are the ones I just picked up." Xiao 13 explained, and said to the big ****: "Hurry up and pack your things, and we'll set off later." ”
Dahei exclaimed excitedly, "Great, my fist is already hungry and thirsty!" ”
Xia Hao looked at the big black man, shook his head, turned around and returned to his wooden house, ready to change into a pair of suitable shoes for a later walk, but turned his head and saw Da Hei following behind him, he couldn't help frowning and asked, "What are you doing with me?" ”
"You can even kill griffins, hehe, it's still the safest by your side! If I'm in danger, you're not going to die, are you? Da Heihan said with a smile.
There are really no fools in the world, this big black man looks brainless, but when it comes to the life of his family, he is not stupid at all!
"I don't have an obligation to protect you, you get out of here, or don't blame me for being rude." Xia Hao said with a cold face.
Da Hei ignored it completely, still smiling and following behind Xia Hao.
Xia Hao reacquainted himself with the thickness of Da Hei's face, and after kicking him a few times, he still followed him obediently like a pug, which made Xia Hao very helpless, and finally simply ignored him.
Xiao 13 lit a fire outside, took out the leftover food from last night and heated it on the fire, and after a group of people had a simple breakfast, everyone took their belongings and began to move towards the dense forest, as for those cars and other things, they stayed in front of the wooden house.
After half an hour of hiking, Xia Hao and the others faintly heard the sound of running water, which rumbled endlessly, even the air became moist, and the surrounding trees were even greener.
"Haha, it seems that there is a big waterfall when I hear this sound, I must take a comfortable bath for a while!" Da Hei shouted excitedly beside Xia Hao, Xia Hao was about to speak, but when he looked up, he saw a frightening scene!
What is that?
I saw dozens of dog-shaped monsters with a circle of blood-red lines rushing towards them, their eyes were blood-red, Bai Sensen's sharp teeth could not be concealed from the mouth, and a foul smell penetrated into the mouth and nose far away, making people want to be disgusted, like a buffalo-like huge body covered with scars, some have been scarred, some are still dripping blood, giving people an extremely strong shock.
"Oops, it's the blood-streaked dogs, I'll lead someone to block them first, and you guys hurry up and retreat to the forest to the east! Run, don't stop! Xiao Shisan's face changed dramatically and exclaimed.
The blood-streaked dog's limbs are thick and powerful, and it runs like a thousand horses charging, and its momentum is amazing. The newcomers had already been frightened stupidly, and when they heard Xiao Shisan's shouts, they rushed to the east of the forest.
Xia Hao also knew that this was not the time to be a hero, so he followed the newcomers and retreated. If you want to talk about reaction speed, I have to say that Da Hei, a seemingly simple-minded guy, has been running at the forefront at some point, which is completely inconsistent with the usual style of learning when you see someone.
Xia Hao followed behind, glanced back from a distance, and saw that Xiao Shisan and the three Heavenly Spirit Masters who were in charge of guarding the camp had led the blood-patterned dogs in the opposite direction. Wherever the blood-streaked dogs passed, they left a mess, and many of the thick trees were broken by them, as if they had been hit by a storm. The number of blood-streaked dogs in this group was less than a hundred, but the momentum was really amazing, and it made people shy away.
After waiting in the woods on the east side for a while, Xiao Shisan and the others returned unharmed, and the newcomers couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw that the four of them seemed to have a backbone.
"The blood-streaked dogs are the bullies in this area, they just left, it's still safer to go get water now, you move quickly, we are responsible for guarding." Xiao 13 explained to everyone.
It's finally a thrill to encounter the blood-streaked dogs, but for the newcomers who have just arrived here, it is still a little scary.
The group didn't need Xiao Shisan's supervision, they all consciously accelerated their speed, wanting to leave this place of right and wrong.
But this kind of rapid march was a great drain on everyone's physical strength, and Xiao Shisan had to order a rest.
Xia Hao took advantage of the rest to come to Xiao Shisan and asked, "We should have already left the gathering place of the Blood Pattern Dog, right?" ”
Xiao 13 shook his head, "These blood-streaked dogs have a wide range of activities, I'm really not sure when we'll run into them again." ”
"Is that blood-streaked dog really powerful?"
Xiao 13 nodded affirmatively: "You haven't seen them hunting, this group of beasts is in groups of dozens or hundreds, wandering all over the island, and they are not afraid of death, every time they attack, they have the idea of dying with the enemy, as if they are crazy, they will not stop until they kill the enemy, they are completely killing machines." If you are trapped in a group of blood-streaked dogs, there is only one way out! ”
"Let's hope we're lucky not to encounter this bunch of brutes." Although Xia Hao had never seen the hunting of blood-patterned dogs, it was not easy to deal with the soul beast that Xiao Shisan was so afraid of.
After a rest, the crowd pulled out again.
The group walked quietly through the dense forest, only the sound of the rubbing of leaves. Although apart from the blood-patterned dogs just now, everyone had not encountered any other soul beasts at present, but Xia Hao was faintly uneasy, this seemed to be the calm before the storm.
At this moment, a sudden roar appeared in everyone's ears, and Xia Hao looked up just in time to see a huge monster slowly walking towards them from a distance.
Where this huge monster passed, the dense forest was like a fragile grass being dumped to the ground, and the huge body was like a majestic mountain, insurmountable! One can imagine the amazing power contained in such a huge monster!
The sudden appearance of a huge soul beast made everyone's faces change drastically.
Xiao Shisan immediately asked everyone to stop, and called Xia Hao and them to his side to prepare a countermeasure.
When they got closer, Xia Hao and the others saw the appearance of this soul beast clearly.
It was covered in pimples, with a disgusting bump like a toad on the surface of its body, four pairs of strong lower limbs that allowed it to stand firmly, and its upper limbs were as slender as two fishing rods, with sharp black hooks at the top, and if it was hooked by such a huge and sharp hook, the human body would be penetrated like a fish ball.
"It's a swamp black toad. Such a big movement will definitely attract a group of soul beasts, Leopard Nine, Tiger Ten, you are familiar with the jungle, those newcomers will be handed over to you to take away, here to us. Xiao Thirteen said to a lean man.
The lean man named Leopard Jiu didn't talk nonsense, and took another sturdy middle-aged man with him to signal the others to quietly follow the two of them and leave, while Xia Hao was left behind.
The swamp black toad seemed to sense Leopard Nine's movements, and it let out an earth-shattering roar, a viscous black liquid sprayed out of its mouth, and the sky was like a black stinky rain.
"Fire Eight uses your abilities to attract it and buy them both some time." Xiao 13 saw that the monster was getting closer and closer, so he said to a man left beside him.
Huo Hachi was a strong man with tangled muscles, and I saw his hands quickly raised, and one by one burning fireballs appeared from his hands, shooting at the eyes of the soul beast with the precision of bullets.
But the stinky rain emitted by the swamp black toad was too dense, and the fireballs shot by Huopachi were doused by the black slime in mid-air, and none of them could hit it, but the bright fireballs still attracted the attention of the swamp black toad.
"The life and death of those newcomers depends on whether we can hold back this swamp black toad, as long as we can hold on for a few minutes, and after alarming the nearby soul beast group, we will wait for the opportunity to escape and let them kill each other." Xiao Shisan said with a smile on his face.
Xia Hao could see that including Xiao Shisan, the expressions of these people left behind were not very nervous, and Huo Ba and they all showed extraordinary skills and abilities, and they were obviously experienced in combat.
"Xia Hao, are you nervous?" Xiao Shisan turned his head and asked with a smile.
"It's fake not to be nervous, it's not easy to mess with the appearance of this soul beast." Xia Hao was actually not nervous at all, with his teleportation ability, it was still very easy to escape.
Hopachi continues to use the fireball to attract the attention of the swamp black toad, running away with it in the other direction.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the movement here to attract the attention of the soul beast group.
The first to arrive were the bully blood-streaked dogs, numbering more than two hundred, who smashed the emaciated trees so hard that only the thicker ones were saved, turning the dense forest into a sparse blank space in an instant.
Xia Hao and the others hid in the thick trees in time to avoid the blood-streaked dogs.
Seeing such a huge swamp black toad, the blood-streaked dogs did not pounce directly, but hovered around the soul beast and roared with Bai Sensen's sharp teeth. Some relatively thin blood-streaked dogs were driven by their strong counterparts to pounce, their completely lifeless attack shocked Xia Hao, although their way of using their own kind as cannon fodder was cruel, but it revealed a wisdom different from ordinary beasts!
The next scene was even more cruel, the cannon fodder blood-streaked dogs were contaminated with the black slime sprayed by the swamp black toad, and their strong bodies immediately began to rot and stink, instantly revealing the white bones and internal organs, but those blood-streaked dogs still fiercely pounced on the swamp black toad's side!
The severed limbs of the blood-streaked dogs were everywhere, and they didn't seem to feel the slightest pain, like moths to a fire that bit the lower limbs of the huge swamp black toad.
More than 200 huge blood-streaked dogs were not afraid to die and pounced on the swamp black toad, even though the black slime of the swamp black toad made them bruised all over their bodies, they still did not flinch! The four pairs of lower limbs of the swamp black toad are covered with blood-streaked dogs, and once they bite the limbs of the swamp black toad, they will not let go, like bats hanging upside down on a tree branch.
The swamp black toad did not show weakness, and the hooks on the upper limbs did not know how many lives had been harvested, and there were rivers of blood flowing everywhere they passed.
The fierce battle took a heavy toll on both sides, as the swamp black toad's four pairs of lower limbs were all bitten off by the blood-streaked dog, and when it fell to the ground, its body close to the ground was covered in wounds. The number of blood-streaked dogs was less than fifty, and the ground was littered with blood-streaked dog corpses, and none of the blood-streaked dogs that survived were intact.
The body of the swamp black toad is too large, its body can crush a blood-streaked dog with a slight movement, and fortunately, these blood-streaked dogs have an incomparable intuition of danger, and the speed is like lightning, and the number of blood-streaked dogs crushed to death is not too many.
Xia Hao looked at the red-stained ground, with stumps and broken limbs, brains and intestines all over the place, and couldn't help but feel sick to his stomach.
At this moment, a regular strange vibration sound came into Xia Hao's ears like a movement. Hearing this strange voice, Xiao Shisan, who had always been relaxed, finally changed his face, and said to Xia Hao with a smile that was more ugly than crying: "Run, run, don't stop......"
"What is this?" Xia Hao had never seen Xiao Shisan so out of shape, and followed him to jump forward at a high speed on the branches of the dense forest, and asked strangely.
"Ghostface Black Fly! Plug your ears with your clothes! Xiao 13 shouted anxiously.
Xia Hao just wanted to ask what was so strange about the ghost-faced black fly, but suddenly felt that the sky seemed to be covered with a black curtain, turning into darkness in an instant, and at the same time, countless fine "buzzing" sounds were overwhelming, making Xia Hao's head fall from the tree as if he had been hit hard.
"Xia Hao!" Although Xiao Shisan couldn't see it, he could hear that Xia Hao beside him had an accident, and quickly reached out to grab it, but he didn't catch Xia Hao's falling figure.
"Boss, it's too late, let's go......"
Xia Hao faintly heard Huo Ba screaming, but his vision was dark, and he could only estimate the height above the ground according to the speed of the fall, if he couldn't use teleportation in time to stop the fall, he was estimated to be crippled.
The "buzzing" sound in his ears was endless, and Xia Hao waved his hands wildly, hoping to grab some branches. Perhaps it was the providence of heaven in the dark, Xia Hao grabbed an arm-thick branch with his right hand, and with a strong impact, his arm was pulled violently, and then the branch was torn off by force, and after a few seconds of falling, it fell heavily on the ground.
Xia Hao was secretly glad that if it weren't for this branch to cushion his falling power, he would have been thrown half to death even if he didn't die, and now although he was in pain, he finally survived.
With a move of his left hand, Xia Hao fumbled and tore two lumps of fabric from the torn clothes to plug his ears, and the deafening "buzzing" sound around him slowly disappeared.
Although Xia Hao didn't see the ghost-faced black fly in Xiao Shisan's mouth from beginning to end, the fear of this ghost-faced black fly in his heart was better than the blood-streaked dog, if he was given a choice, he would rather choose the blood-streaked dog that was not afraid of death than be the enemy of the ghost-faced black fly.
It was pitch black all around, Xia Hao's eyes widened and he wanted to figure out the situation nearby, but everything was in vain, in such darkness, his eyes were completely unable to see. Xia Hao is completely blind now, in this case, he doesn't dare to break in, if he accidentally walks into the battlefield of the swamp black toad and the blood-striped dog, then he will die happily.
Xia Hao felt that the only safe way was to lie down and wait. His right hand was still in pain, and although his left hand was also in severe pain, he was able to move freely. Using his left hand to dig through the thick fallen leaves, Xia Hao slowly hid his body under the fallen leaves.
The rotting fallen leaves burrowed into Xia Hao's nostrils with a fishy smell, and pain hit him from time to time all over his body, and he could only endure quietly.
Suddenly, Xia Hao felt that something was very close to his body from time to time, and the speed was so fast that it even rolled up a lot of fallen leaves! (To be continued.) )
