It's extremely vindictive and won't let go of any creature that has hurt it. It flies extremely fast and has powerful claws that can pick up its prey with ease.

After more than an hour of hard work, Zhao Dabao finally found the target in a hidden weed.
The Scavenging Raven King, which is only the size of a normal Scavenger Crow, but has twice as many feet and wings as they are, is perched on the back of the Swamp King, which is more than half the size of the ordinary Scavenger Rhino and has a single horn more than a meter long.
For some reason, this weed grows unusually lush. Any weed has a height of more than three meters. Lying in such a weed, if it weren't for the fact that there was a 'scavenging crow king' on its back, Zhao Dabao would not have been able to find this 'swamp giant rhino king' unless he came to its side.
What Zhao Dabao didn't expect was that these two king beasts seemed to have just shipped a battle with a powerful opponent. Not only are their lives less than in their heyday, but even their bodies have many large and small scars. Some are already scarred and not very visible; But some of them are very strict, and they are still flowing red blood outward.
At the same time that Zhao Dabao discovered them, the two king beasts also discovered Zhao Dabao's figure. Whether it was the movement of the weeds or the light emitted by the 'fluorescent stone' held in Zhao Dabao's hand, it clearly exposed his existence.
There's no way around it. Not wanting to be disturbed by the dense fog of the 'Dense Fog Swamp', Zhao Dabao must always keep the 'fluorescent stone' in his hand. But in this way, his traces are also easier to find by the monsters in the swamp. This is the price that must be paid for ignoring the dense fog of the 'Dense Fog Swamp', and Zhao Dabao has no way to do it.
As soon as they found out about Zhao Dabao's storage, the two king beasts instantly became furious. There was a look of resentment in his eyes, and his mouth continued to let out angry roars. didn't even give a little time for psychological preparation, and both directions Zhao Dabao launched an attack. One in front and one behind, one spreads its wings and glides, showing off its thick and powerful feet; One lunged down and raised the horn high.
Although he was still a little unclear about the situation, he still reacted accordingly to the attack of these two king beasts at the first time.
The core area of the 'Dense Fog Swamp' has always been the territory of two strange beasts that are almost in an associated state, the 'Scavenging Land Crow' and the 'Swamp Giant Rhinoceros'. Those who can injure the leaders of these two tribes, king-level fierce beasts, in their territory should not exist at all.
What's more, the place where Zhao Dabao found these two king beasts was still some distance away from the center of the 'Dense Fog Swamp' where they were under normal circumstances. In other words, they escaped from their territory after being wounded. This must have happened a short time ago, otherwise they wouldn't have so many wounds on their bodies.
It was already a very rare thing to be able to injure these two king beasts, and they were even forced to leave their homeland and take out their territory. It seems that in the heart of the 'Foggy Swamp', there must be some amazing guy. I just don't know what kind of storage zĂ i will cause such a thing!
While dealing with the attacks of the two king beasts, Zhao Dabao's brain was also running rapidly. Countless conjectures about such an unexpected situation floated around in his mind like a marquee.
Fortunately, the two king beasts were both injured and their state was greatly affected. Otherwise, such a distracted expression in the battle would definitely make Zhao Dabao suffer the consequences.
Zhao Dabao, who used two light dodges to dodge the first wave of attacks of the two king beasts, slapped himself hard, so that he could no longer be distracted and focus all his attention on the battle with the two king beasts.
Although the opponent is injured, he is in poor condition. But that doesn't excuse him from being distracted in battle. Zhao Dabao, who has a beautiful vision for his future, cannot allow himself to always make such the lowest mistakes.
Perking up and looking at the two king beasts that had turned around and launched a second wave of attacks on him, Zhao Dabao pinned the soft whip in his right hand to the belt around his waist, and reached out to take out the special item he had purchased from the mustard seed bag to deal with the 'Scavenging Raven King'.
Monsters like the 'Scavenging Land Raven King' are really fighting, but they are actually not very powerful. There is only one thing, it can fly.
For players who don't even have a few skills in the early stage, this kind of flying monster is the most unpleasant for them. Because many times, players can only defend passively. Wait for the opponent to attack, and give the player a brief opportunity to counterattack.
In order to change this situation, Zhao Dabao spent a huge amount of 120 copper coins to buy such a special prop in the grocery store.
Old Rattan Hand Net (Mortal Weapon): A tough hand net made of 100-year-old rattan that can trap small flying units.
This 'old rattan net' is made of old rattan as thick as a thumb, and the whole net is more than four meters long, and it is a fan-shaped net. At the two corners of the front end of the net, a weighted iron counterweight is tied to prevent the target from escaping in the first place. The reason why it is called a hand net is that this kind of net needs to be thrown by the player with both hands, and it can be folded back. If you use it well, it's equivalent to a good control skill. But if you don't use it well, you will consume your body in vain, waste time, and even miss opportunities, and even be raided by your opponent.
This kind of prop can be said to be a common occurrence in Zhao Dabao's memory, and it is quite popular with players, almost a rhythm of one person. Whether there is a good way to use the hand net is also an important benchmark to measure the level of a player. Some players will even spend a lot of money to refine this kind of hand net into a magic weapon.
You know, as the game progresses, every player will have some magic weapons in their hands that can fly around. Especially the Sword Immortals, their flying swords are the best among them.
To deal with such a magic weapon, this kind of hand net has a very powerful function. After all, magic weapons are also a type of flying unit, aren't they?
In order to be able to free up his hands to use this 'old vine hand net', Zhao Dabao put the 'fluorescent stone' into the wolf's mouth of Ou Shou's wolf's head glove, and let the wolf's mouth hold the 'fluorescent stone' to continue illuminating.
Zhao Dabao hadn't thought of this method before, but how could it be as convenient as holding it in his hand when he held it in his mouth? But now, in order to be able to catch this 'scavenging crow king', Zhao Dabao had to be reluctant like this.
Not unlike the partners of the Scavenger Raven and the Swamp Rhino, the leaders of the two tribes still retain their way of fighting. The 'Scavenging Raven King' interfered and restrained first, and then the 'Swamp Giant Rhino King' who followed up dealt a fatal blow.
Their way of fighting just gave Zhao Dabao the opportunity to use the 'Old Vine Hand Net' to capture the 'Scavenging Land Raven King'.
Taking advantage of the fact that the 'Swamp Giant Rhino King' had not yet arrived, Zhao Dabao threw the 'Old Vine Hand Net' towards the 'Scavenging Land Raven King' that flew to the front.
Even if it was not injured and in good condition, at such a distance, with the ability of the 'Scavenging Land Raven King', it would be impossible for it to dodge the hand net thrown by Zhao Dabao. What's more, there are still a lot of injuries on its body now, whether it is flight speed, or the flexibility and reaction of the body.
At the same time as the net caught the 'Scavenging Land Raven King', Zhao Dabao suddenly used his strength, and threw it heavily on the mire with the net. Due to the relationship between the two counterweights, the whole hand net formed a net pocket, and with the struggle of the 'Scavenger Raven King' to adjust his own position, he could firmly trap it in it, unable to escape.
Zhao Dabao, who trapped this 'scavenging land crow king', did not hesitate at all, and waved the 'spiky soft whip of the elephant trunk stabbing pig king' in his hand, and continuously whipped it on its body.
Before the 'Swamp Giant Rhino King' who followed in the back row arrived, the 'Scavenging Crow King' had already died at the hands of Zhao Dabao. Even the corpse of the 'Old Fuji Tenet' and the 'Scavenging Raven King' was placed in the mustard seed bag that had previously stored the 'Mire Tiger'. While staring at the 'Swamp Giant Rhino King' that had stopped, Zhao Dabao re-grasped the 'Fluorescent Stone' from his left hand and activated the mechanism of the 'Wolf King's Wolf Head Fist Sword' in his left hand.
Seeing that the 'Scavenging Land Raven King' was killed and collected by Zhao Dabao like this, not even a single hair was left, and the eyes of the 'Swamp Giant Rhino King' became redder and redder until they all turned bloody. I only heard its fierce roar, and outside its huge body, in addition to being full of mud, there was a faint red light out of thin air.
Moving together again, the speed is absolutely not the same as just now. Bowing his head and leaning over, he showed the sharp, hard single horn, and rushed towards Zhao Dabao with an indomitable momentum.
The moment a faint red light lit up on the body of this 'Swamp Giant Rhino King', Zhao Dabao already knew what it was going to do next. The 'Full Speed Dash' skill from the 'Leopard Dog King's Leather Boots' was activated immediately.
Facing the 'Swamp Giant Rhino King' who suddenly started speeding up and launched a 'savage impact', Zhao Dabao's speed also changed drastically. He took a few quick steps to the left front, and turned sideways past the 'Swamp Giant Rhino King' who rushed by.
At the same time, his right hand swung the 'Elephant Trunk Thorn Pig King's Spiked Soft Whip' and whipped the 'Swamp Giant Rhino King' twice on the buttocks. Two more wounds were added to this already scarred big guy.
The 'savage impact' had no effect, and he was whipped twice by Zhao Dabao. The momentum of this 'swamp giant rhino king' suddenly weakened a lot, and there was more fear in his eyes when he looked at Zhao Dabao. paced in place, as if hesitating whether it was going to fight to the death with Zhao Dabao; It's better to save your life and escape from this sad place quickly.
Zhao Dabao would not give it such a time to think. After performing the 'full speed sprint', his body is now less than 2,000 points. The 'Full Speed Sprint' skill consumes 30 percent of the body, but it is 30% of the maximum body value.
If you rub it out for a while, if you encounter any unexpected situation again, Zhao Dabaoke will fall into a crisis of insufficient body. Unwilling to take this risk, he naturally hopes for a quick victory and an immediate end to the current battle.
Taking advantage of the effect of the 'Full Speed Dash' skill, Zhao Dabao rushed towards the hesitant 'Swamp Giant Rhino King'. Without leaving it the slightest time to react, it directly activated the 'Roar of the Enemy' skill carried by the 'Black Armor Dog Lizard King's Spirit Blood Helmet'.
With Zhao Dabao's angry shout, the 'Swamp Giant Rhino King' instantly stopped all his movements, his eyes were full of convulsion, and he let Zhao Dabao slaughter at will.
Under the whipping and fisting, the 'Swamp Giant Rhino King', who was shocked by Zhao Dabao, did not struggle in the slightest, and in this way, he followed in the footsteps of the 'Scavenging Crow King' and became Zhao Dabao's mustard seed bag collection.
Not daring to stay too long, Zhao Dabao, who had cleaned up the battlefield, quickly left the weeds, found a safe place, stopped, and waited for the recovery of his state.
Taking advantage of this free time, Zhao Dabao once again began to think about the abnormal behavior and state of the 'Scavenging Land Crow King' and the 'Swamp Giant Rhino King'.
Apparently in the 'Swamp of the Fog', which had no rivals, why did the 'Scavenging Raven King' and the 'Swamp Giant Rhino King' be seriously injured and expelled from their territory?
Is there a new powerful swamp creature born, or is there some other unknown factor?
A strong curiosity filled Zhao Dabao's brain, and if he didn't solve this puzzle, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to leave with these loot with peace of mind.
Taking the corpses of the two king beasts out of the mustard seed bag again, Zhao Dabao carefully examined the wounds left on their bodies before. It is hoped that from these wounds, the approximate identity of the murderer who caused them to be seriously injured and uprooted from their homeland can be identified.
After a careful examination, Zhao Dabao's face showed an extremely excited look.
The old wounds on the two king beasts showed no signs of biting or scratching, and those wounds were more like they were led by the monk's spells and sharp weapons such as swords.
In other words, there are no new powerful swamp creatures, and the reason why the 'Scavenging Land Raven King' and the 'Swamp Giant Rhino King' were picked up by him Zhao Dabao is artificial.
Players at this stage, Zhao Dabao can be sure that they do not have such ability. Even if there is, with the player's character, he will not just let the two injured bosses leave without searching and looking for them.
Such a human factor can only be guided by special NPCs.
The reason why it is said to be a special NPC is because Zhao Dabao clearly knows that in a place like Novice Village, any NPC with strength is not allowed to act recklessly. NPCs who can do such things must have a special mission in their place.
There are two such special missions, one is for players to kill their target monsters in exchange for rewards from their hands; The other is for the player to kill them and exchange them for rewards from other NPCs.
The king-level fierce beast of the Novice Village, in Zhao Dabao's memory, there seemed to be no other tasks other than this kind of task on him. This excludes the first case just mentioned. The greatest possibility of this human factor is the second case just mentioned.
Such a situation is not uncommon in Zhao Dabao's memory. Although it is more difficult, the other party can force the two king-level fierce beasts to abandon their territory and escape injured after all. But correspondingly, the rewards for such a task will also be very generous.
And the target is a humanoid NPC, and in addition to the rewards of the mission, you can also get a lot of loot from the opponent.
Under the temptation of this double harvest, it is no wonder that Zhao Dabao is so excited. This was the first time he had ever been able to confront a humanoid NPC since starting over, and in the Novice Village, such an opportunity was almost impossible to achieve except for the out-of-village mission.
Although the strength of this unknown opponent should not be underestimated, I decided to take a risk and try it out. Even if you can't beat it, it seems that you can still escape by relying on 'full speed sprint' and other control skills.
It seems that the opponents that can be encountered in the novice village will not have a movement speed of more than 76.
The pros and cons are already in front of him, and if he doesn't try to see it, Zhao Dabao will not be willing. With memories of the next ten years, he is deeply aware of the importance of every opportunity. Now there is such an opportunity in front of him, and he has a certain degree of certainty that he can grasp such an opportunity. This is too difficult for Zhao Dabao, who used to be very unlucky, to refuse.
