Volume 2 Chapter 57 Flying Spirit Beast (1)
I'm afraid that even Yan Shisan didn't realize that because of Lu Yu's casual words, he talked to Lu Yu from the first field experience, talked about all kinds of dangerous experiences on the grassland, and talked about the winter ...... of the grassland covered with heavy snow from the spring of the grassy grassland.
By the time Yan Shisan realized that he had talked a little too much, more than an hour had passed.
Sometimes the way to shorten the distance between the two is not a deliberate please, nor is it a conspiracy, but a casual sentence that just opens the other party's heart.
Lu Yu also realized that Yan Shisan was so good at chatting, and he wanted to continue listening, but Yan Shisan closed his mouth.
Seeing that Yan Shisan no longer spoke, Lu Yu also closed his eyes, and according to the method Yan Shisan said, he transferred part of his divine thoughts to the five senses, and unconsciously relaxed his spirit and fell asleep.
By the time Lu Yu opened his eyes again, it was already dark, and the caravan was preparing breakfast.
Seeing Lu Yu open his eyes, Yan Shisan put a golden roasted jerky in front of Lu Yu and said, "Our speed was slowed down yesterday, and I'm afraid we will have to stay in the mountains for one night tonight." ”
If there is no attack by wild beasts on the way, the caravan will travel at a normal pace, and will leave the mountain around the evening of the next day.
Yesterday, the caravan encountered seven attacks by beasts, large and small, and one of them was attacked by the green sword mantis, which directly slowed down the caravan for more than half an hour.
"Did any beasts attack the caravan last night?"
"There were two beast attacks in the second half of the night, but they were both repelled by the caravan guards, and there were no escort losses!"
No loss of guards does not mean that no guards are injured, these are two concepts, but as long as you don't die, getting a little injured is a trivial matter.
Hearing that nothing major happened last night, Lu Yu also breathed a sigh of relief, and he was most afraid that the loss of the guards would be too great. Like this slow-moving caravan, the targets are too large and very vulnerable to attacks by wild beasts.
This is also what Yan Shisan told Lu Yu yesterday, but the caravan also has a big advantage, that is, there are many people, and it is easy for other monks to fight this caravan, even if they encounter a small group of beasts, they can easily deal with it, like the green knife mantis directly appearing in the middle of the caravan, it usually rarely happens.
After breakfast, the caravan soon departed.
The caravan had been gone for less than a quarter of an hour before it stopped, and found a beast at the front, which had been blocked for a minute before being killed by the combined forces of the guards.
After yesterday, Lu Yu was not surprised by this situation, but he and Yan Shisan stood at the end of the caravan and watched, waiting for the caravan to kill the beast and continue to move forward.
When Lu Yu and Yan Thirteen walked to the place where the guards had killed the beast just now, Yan Thirteen looked at the remaining beast corpse and said: "This is a bobcat, it has not yet reached the level of spirit beasts, most beasts have their own territorial awareness, this is also the reason why we will not encounter a large number of beasts at the same time at once, if all the beasts on the mountain road are united, I am afraid that this caravan will not be able to pass through Elephant Trunk Mountain at all." ”
"Didn't you say that the monster already had a consciousness of its own? Why would they attack caravanserans? ”
After talking with Yan Thirteen last night, Yan Thirteen also talked a little more, and he no longer looked like a mute.
"The so-called consciousness of the beast is actually very low, even if it is a spirit beast, it is impossible to make a correct judgment like a human, only the beast general who is more advanced than the spirit beast will have the simplest wisdom, know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and know to gather a large number of beasts to attack together, so as long as the caravan does not meet the beast general, this caravan is safe."
"Have you ever seen a beast general?"
Yan Shisan looked at the surrounding mountains and said, "I haven't seen it yet, a cultivator like ours, if you see a beast general, you must remember to run away as soon as possible, maybe there is hope to escape." ”
In the eyes of the monks of the Tianlan World, except for humans and domestic animals, they are all beasts, but beasts are also strong and weak in rank.
The lowest beast is called a fierce beast, a fierce beast, and then a monster, the birth of a trace of wisdom is called a spirit beast, and the beast that can command the beast is called the beast general, also known as the war general level, and the beast general has the commander level, the lord level, and then the legendary beast king and beast emperor are above.
Walking on the post road, you can usually only encounter some monsters, and even spirit beasts are extremely difficult to see.
But it's hard to say when you enter the mountains, swamps and lakes, when you're unlucky, you can meet the beast general, and if an ordinary monk meets the beast general, if you don't run for the first time, you don't have to run in the future.
Like the more powerful Commander and Lord, as long as the monk himself does not seek death, under normal circumstances, he may not be able to encounter one in his life. Because the beast generals have their own fixed sphere of influence, as long as they do not enter the beast general's sphere of influence, the beast generals will not leave their sphere of influence and run out to hunt down the monks by themselves.
For a mountain like Elephant Trunk Mountain, it's hard to say if there are beasts above the command level, but there must be beasts.
However, the beast general will not usually take the initiative to attack the monk, if the mountain road is occupied by a beast general, the mountain road will be abandoned, or a more powerful monk will kill the beast general.
Yan Shisan was introducing Lu Yu to the differences between beasts, when suddenly a roar came from the valley, and the horses walking on the valley post road began to be restless, and the twittering beast that had been lying on Yan Shisan's shoulder flew up suddenly, and got into the cloth bag on Yan Shisan's chest and shivered.
"Not good! It is a chickadee flying spirit animal. ”
A huge shadow fell in the air, and a large bird with a wingspan of six or seven meters hovered above the valley's head, as if looking for something to attack.
"What a big bird!"
It was the first time Lu Yu had seen a big bird so closely, only four or five hundred meters away from him.
"Be careful, flying spirit beasts are more difficult to deal with than land spirit beasts." Yan Thirteen quickly reminded.
Before Yan Shisan's words were finished, he found that the spirit beast above his head swooped down and reached the ground at an extremely fast speed, and the flying spirit beast's claws grabbed a horse, and with a flap of wings, it actually grabbed the two- or three-ton horse directly into the air.
Just after Lu Yu felt that the flying spirit beast grabbed its prey and flew away, the flying spirit beast let go of its claws, threw the horse down from mid-air, and smashed it heavily into the valley.
Lu Yu didn't understand what was going on, Yan Shisan's face had changed greatly, "Not good!" It kills all its prey. ”
Although Lu Yu hadn't understood why the flying spirit beast had such a move, but seeing the flying spirit beast swooping down again, he already understood that the flying spirit beast had taken the entire caravan as his prey, and without the slightest hesitation, Lu Yu pulled his bow and aimed an arrow at the flying spirit beast in the air.
"Die!"
This time, Lu Yu didn't spare the slightest hand, and shot out nine arrows in a row, sealing the possible dodge angles of the flying spirit beast to death.
The flying spirit beast seemed to sense the arrow in the air, its wings flapped, and its entire body changed from a diving state to a hovering state, but it was still impossible to dodge the speeding arrows.
But the next scene almost shocked Lu Yu's jaw, only to see the flying spirit beast hovering in the air, violently fanning its huge wings, and a gust of wind visible to the naked eye was set off in front of him, and the flying arrows were blown away from the original trajectory .......
