Chapter 178: Hunting the Mountain of Life and Death

The beast tide, although extremely dangerous, is also an opportunity. Usually those rarely appear in the beast tide of soul sucking beasts, which means a lot of wealth, the various villages of the Mountain of Life and Death will naturally not let go of this opportunity, and the hunting competition came into being, and it is said that the person with the most prey can also get the rich rewards from the surrounding villages.

Xia Yang's strength had increased greatly, and after he had shown Li Tong his newly acquired abilities, he reluctantly agreed to Xia Yang's request to follow them up the mountain to hunt.

"That's a good bow, isn't it?" Xia Yang couldn't help but ask with a smile when he saw the longbow Li Tong was carrying behind him. This bow was one of the prizes that Xia Yang won by betting on it, and it was a gift he gave to Li Tong.

Li Tong took off the bow and said lovingly: "This is the best longbow I have ever seen!" ”

Xia Yang patted Li Tong on the shoulder, "Then you have to thank Li Ling, this is what she chose for you, I don't know the goods, originally according to my meaning, I directly took the most expensive longbow, but Li Ling said that she wanted this, it seems that her vision is really good!" ”

"Lingling, this girl was born to be hunter's material, she can go up to the mountains to hunt by herself at the age of eight! And she also has a good attainment in hunting props, if it weren't for the lack of materials, she would probably have to make hunting props by herself! ”

The age requirement for the hunting competition is fifteen to forty-five years old, in addition to Li Xun and Li Tong and Li Ling shortlisted for the top three hundred in the last hunting competition, no one else in the whole village was shortlisted, this time Li Xiaohe, Li Hong and others are in good hands, there should be a chance to be shortlisted, and this is the last hunting competition that Li Xun participated, next year Li Xun's age will exceed the age of participation, and the hunting group in the village is expected to be able to win glory for Li Xun in the last competition that Li Xun participated, and at the same time, they are extremely hard for the reputation of the entire village. I just hope to get a good result. It can be seen that Li Tong is also full of expectations for this hunting competition, and it is estimated that it is mostly due to the fact that he has a longbow in his hand, which makes him more confident.

Xia Yang knew that there were many masters in the hunting area, and there was never a shortage of talented people here, and the rest depended on personal luck. After experiencing the horror of the beast tide, Xia Yang already had a clear understanding of the power of the soul-sucking beasts here, and the beasts in the hunting area were all fast and keen. And very vigilant, it's really not easy to hunt them easily!

Li Tong had already prepared to stop hunting on the mountain, and when the hunting competition officially started, he took Xia Yang into the mountain again. The number of soul-sucking beasts that the two of them encountered along the way was extremely large, but there were only two of them, and they still couldn't make a move against the powerful soul-sucking beasts, they could only attack those who were lonely, and even so, their harvest was extremely rich.

Two days later. Xia Yang and Li Tong have gone deep into the Mountain of Life and Death. The main purpose of Xia Yang's trip is naturally to hone his newly acquired ability, with the help of spiritual power, his strength has soared a lot, Li Tong has a weapon at hand, and he also shows his superb archery skills, and the two cooperate to hunt a lot of beasts.

It was on the morning of the third day of going deep into the Mountain of Life and Death. Suddenly a thick fog rose in the dense forest. Li Tong said that this is an extremely rare situation, because there is almost no temperature difference here, and fog is very rare. Moreover, the dense fog can affect the hunter's sense of smell and vision, which is extremely detrimental to hunting. In the middle of the morning, the sun had already risen high, but the dense fog showed no signs of abating, which made Li Tong more and more careful.

The direction chosen by Xia Yang and Li Tong is relatively remote, and it is inaccessible here, and it has gone deep into the Mountain of Life and Death. At first, they had seen a few hunting groups occasionally, but since last night until now, they have seen almost no trace of people. By all indications, no one has ever been here. After all, the mountains and forests in the hunting area are too large, and there are many places where no one has ever visited.

Gradually, the mist lifted, and the sun softly shone through the branches of the trees. Turning into bits of golden shards, the golden shards on the ground began to change into various irregular forms as the breeze blew through the leaves.

Rustle, rustle......

Before Xia Yang and them were happy, a strange sound appeared in their ears, Xia Yang and Li Tong walked one after the other, and the two of them stood cautiously at the same time, this strange sound seemed to be near them, and the clear and audible sound made the spirit of the two highly concentrated, and even the little turtle didn't realize what it was.

Rustle, rustle, rustle......

It seemed to be the sound of rotting leaves on the ground, and it was like the sound of something digging into the soil, and the sound would sound when the two of them moved, and when the two of them stood still, the sound disappeared without a trace.

Xia Yang and Li Tong glanced at each other, this kind of strange thing Li Tong also encountered for the first time, he signaled Xia Yang to be careful, took off the longbow on his back, and bent the bow to wind.

The two of them stood still, waiting for the sound to sound.

Rustle, rustle, rustle......

Li Tong relied on his intuition, let go of the arrow in his hand, and with a "whoosh", the feather arrow crossed an arc and was inserted straight into the ground not far away, at this time the strange "rustle" sound also disappeared, and the two cautiously approached the place where the arrow hit, but unfortunately there was nothing.

"Could it be a burrower?" Xia Yang asked.

Li Tong looked around cautiously and shook his head, "If the digging beast burrows into the soil, it will leave a hole in the ground, and I don't smell the smell of dirt at all, so it shouldn't be a digging beast." ”

Xia Yang nodded, he had heard Li Tong talk a lot about the smell and habits of various beasts along the way, and the earth digging beast had a special earthy smell on its body, and Li Tong could easily identify that smell.

Suddenly, Xia Yang found that a leaf on the ground moved, he quickly lifted the leaf, but saw a yellow ant, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it seemed that he was too nervous.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Li Tong saw the earthy yellow ant, he suddenly changed color, and he shouted: "Hurry up!" So saying, he ran into the depths of the woods.

"What's ......" was about to ask Li Tong what was going on, but saw a second and a third appear...... Almost subconsciously, Xia Yang thought of the Gray Spine Ant, that terrifying scene he still remembers, he immediately showed his new ability to fly, floating in mid-air and speeding forward.

Li Tong looked back at Xia Yang's movements, and hurriedly shouted, "Hurry up!" Hurry up! ”

After Xia Yang was stunned for a moment, he hurriedly put away the light wings behind him, landed on the ground and asked, "Brother Li Tong, what's wrong?" ”

"Look at the ...... behind" Li Tong's speed is fully open, and the six senses are all used, if you are not careful this time, there will be no bones left!

Xia Yang turned around and glanced at it, and suddenly saw a yellow cloud floating in the skytop in the treetops, accompanied by the faint sound of wings vibrating.

"Who was that ant just now?"

"We call it the Soil Ghost, it's the scariest thing in the entire forest, I didn't expect to encounter it here! Got it! Li Tong said and threw a bottle to Xia Yang, "Hurry up and rub some on your body, what we saw just now is the front of the soil ghosts, and those in the air are the guardian ants that live with the soil ghosts, they themselves have no attack power, they will spray a strong corrosive agent, this corrosive agent also has an anesthetic effect, once it is stained by this liquid, it will fall on the ground, and the soil ghosts on the ground will take the opportunity to devour people, but they will leave their favorite brain marrow for the guardian ants, These two horrible things are not found on the periphery, and can only be encountered in the deepest part of the forest, and it seems that we are unfortunate to have encountered these things. ”

Li Tong finished speaking in one breath, but he didn't dare to stop at the slightest, at this moment Xia Yang had clearly heard the louder and louder movements behind him, he looked back, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and the ground between them was densely packed with yellow ants, they did not sweep around like gray spine ants, but only ate living things.

A boar-shaped soul-sucking beast was shocked from the crypt by this group of terrifying killers, and half of its body turned into white bones as soon as it was exposed, while the other half of the ground remained intact, but this only kept a breath of effort, and then it was brought out of the ground by the torrent of ant colonies, and in the blink of an eye, the soul-sucking beast was left with only a white bone braincase, and there were no bones left in other places.

When the guardian ants in the air saw this braincase, they immediately rushed up to surround the braincase, and when they flew again, there were no bones left on the ground......

It seemed that Xia Yang and Li Tong had been discovered, and the guard ants in the air chased after the two first, and then the earth ghosts also rushed towards the two of them.

"Brother Li Tong, what should I do?" The speed of those guard ants was obviously faster than the two of them, and even the speed of the little turtles was not as fast as these little things.

"We can only hope to meet the nemesis of the Soil Ghosts, the Saliva Bird, otherwise, we may have only one way to die!"

In front of this army of earth ghosts, all of Xia Yang's abilities could not resist, and when he heard Li Tong's words, he asked, "What is the favorite thing of the saliva bird?" How can they come? ”

"Soil ghosts are the sworn enemies of the saliva birds, and the only ability of the saliva birds is to spray their special saliva, which can stick the soil ghosts together, like glue, and they are immune to the venom of the guardian ants, they are natural soil ghost killers, they only kill soil ghosts. Where the soil ghosts appear, there will inevitably be saliva birds following, just to see if we can hold on until the saliva birds repel this group of soil ghosts, otherwise, we will have to wait for death! ”

"Be careful!" Xia Yang suddenly saw several streams of green liquid spraying towards Li Tong's body, and without hesitation, he used his ice wall ability to block all the green liquid, and several relatively close guard ants were also hit by the ice wall, what shocked Xia Yang was that the guard ants only sank after being hit, and then continued to fly towards the two of them unharmed.
