Chapter 181: Still Trapped
"I didn't raise this, you can catch it if you want to."
Since even Polaris-kun said so, then I'm no longer polite. Looking at the translucent body that suddenly pounced down in front of me, I directly reached out and pulled out a strange weapon with a shape similar to a revolver from the phoenix dragon space, but the barrel was as thick as a human waist, and aimed at the oncoming transparent figure, followed by a movement of my fingers, only to hear a boom, the muzzle of the gun white smoke came out, and then I saw a black thing spew out of the muzzle like lightning and instantly unfolded into a large net. The shadow leopard that was lunging at me obviously didn't expect something to suddenly fly towards it, and although it was very clever and wanted to change direction temporarily, it couldn't borrow force in the air, and even if it forcibly twisted its body, its dodge range was limited. The large net in flight had opened to a diameter of more than two meters when it hit the shadow leopard, and the shadow leopard was enveloped in with a single brush. When the net touched the shadow leopard, the heavy hammer hanging on the edge of the net around it was immediately pulled to the center due to inertia, and then quickly tightened the net and fixed it.
I took a step out of the way as soon as I shot the net, and the shadow leopard, wrapped in a hunting net, grazed past me and crashed headfirst into a pile of bushes. I didn't look much at the shadow leopard that fell to the ground, and directly threw the net gun in my hand back to the phoenix dragon space and immediately dragged a new one. Although this thing works well, the drawback is also obvious, it takes several minutes to reload after each shot, and there is definitely no time to reload slowly in battle, so you can only prepare a few more guns at a time. Of course, considering the production and adaptability of this thing, only the beast tamers of our guild with catching skills are equipped with this thing in the world, after all, the main function of this thing is to catch magic pets, and the effect on players and combat is not obvious.
Although the Shadow Leopard is smart, it is only the intelligence of a beast after all, and when they see their companions being caught, they immediately become collectively impulsive. The first shadow leopard had just been tied up, the second and third jumped up one after another, and I only had time to shoot one of them, and the other one was too late to change guns. Seeing the third shadow leopard pounce in front of me, I simply took the initiative to jump up to it, and the knee joint of my bent right leg hit the shadow leopard's jaw accurately, knocking it out. But that guy really deserves to be a member of the big cat family, the head has not yet recovered and the body has completed the posture adjustment in the air autonomously, and when it regained consciousness, it just grabbed a horizontally stretched branch and jumped on a big tree next to it with a slight swing, and a few ups and downs disappeared.
Surrounded by seven or eight shadow leopards, I grabbed two of them with a raised hand, and the rest were hidden. They're not smart, but they're not stupid either. This brief encounter made them realize my strength, so they hesitated to continue attacking. After all, for beasts, the purpose of fighting is nothing more than food or self-defense, and I am obviously not suitable to be food, and self-defense is not enough, after all, it is they who take the initiative to attack. However, now that two of their companions have been captured, the other Shadow Leopards are obviously not willing to evacuate, so they are still hesitating.
Taking advantage of the hesitation of these guys, I had already thrown the empty net gun in my hand into the phoenix dragon space, and casually pulled out two more and pinched them one by one. I only have six of them, but the phoenix dragon is fine anyway, so she can help me load in my phoenix space, so my actual sustained firepower is far less than six.
Seeing that I had re-drawn the weapons of the two captive companions, the remaining Shadow Leopards seemed to become uneasy, and they roared at each other as if to exchange ideas, and then quickly reached some kind of agreement. One of the larger individuals yelled twice at the two captured shadow leopards on the ground, and the shadow leopards on the ground stopped struggling, and then the other shadow leopards turned around and quickly disappeared into the dense forest.
"Holy, why are these guys so smart?" I looked at the empty tree trunk with two net guns and was amazed.
The Polaris Monarch guy said with a smile: "You must know that this is the Immortal Spirit Mountain, the place where the Heavenly Spirit Qi gathers. None of the creatures that can live in this place are easy to deal with, and the Shadow Leopard lives among these powerful creatures, and if it wasn't strong enough, it would have become extinct long ago. ”
"That's right. I'm weird though. Speaking of this, I looked at Polaris-kun suspiciously: "I can understand that they are very strong, but why do they only stare at me from beginning to end, and completely treat you as transparent?" ”
"Because I'm transparent." Polaris-kun's words almost didn't make me angry. "Since I have a way to make the roads here completely indifferent to them, it's not impossible for me to disappear into their senses, right?"
"Damn, you already have a way to deal with these things, why don't you give me one?"
"But I've prepared my own. Usually there are no guests here, and besides, people come to walk the stone steps, except for you, no one has ever walked directly through the mountains and forests! ”
"So you mean, the next part of the road those monsters will only attack me and not react to you at all, do you?"
"That's why I dare to show you the way." Polaris-kun said with a natural look: "The strength of the Purple Protector is already stronger than mine now, what are you worried about?" Rest assured, although the things here are very strong, they are not enough to kill you by just one of them. Anyway, even if you are in the Divine Realm now, you can be ranked in the front, are you still afraid that these quasi-divine beasts will not succeed? ”
"Are you sure there is no stronger storage here?" I don't feel very confident about the character of this guy Polaris, mainly because he robbed someone's nest at the beginning, and after that, this guy became more and more cunning to me, and often cheated me. This time, he is looking for an opportunity to avenge my robbery of his house, which is not too late for the gods to take revenge for a thousand years.
Hearing my question, Polaris-jun really said: "After all, this is the Fairy Spirit Mountain, and there are more powerful ones that even I dare not provoke." But you don't have to worry about that. ”
"Why?"
"All those who have reached that level are all high-level beings who have cultivated their sanity, they are all intelligent, and they understand that although we are only a few individuals, there is the entire heavenly court behind us, so as long as we don't take the initiative to provoke them, they will not come to find trouble. In fact, one of the high-ranking guys told me about the magic circle I set up that was invisible to the creatures in the mountains, and they would sometimes come to my house to have tea and talk to me. ”
"Aren't they aggressive?"
Polaris-kun shook his head. "The Qi of the Heavenly Spirit is not the same as the Qi of the Earth's Leylines. The effect of the Heavenly Spirit Qi is very strong, and it has a more obvious effect than the Earth Leyline Qi for cultivators, but the Heavenly Dao rewards diligence, although this Heavenly Spirit Qi has an obvious effect and a rapid effect, it has zài side effects. ”
"Side effects?"
"Strictly speaking, it can't be regarded as a side effect, but it has a slight impact on the character of the cultivator who absorbs the Heavenly Spirit Qi. Unlike the earth's leyline qi, which does not affect the cultivator's own characteristics, the heavenly spirit qi will make the cultivator's personality become calm and natural, and if the absorption amount is too large, there will even be a phenomenon of merging with the Great Dao. ”
"What do you mean by merging with the Great Dao?"
"According to what you say, merging with the Great Dao is actually death, but according to the Heavenly Dao, the Great Dao of Fusion is invincible, consummation, and the most noble realm. The Great Dao is the world, every qiē that you can see, hear, and feel is the Great Dao, and if you merge yourself with the Great Dao, then your personal consciousness will merge into the great will of the Heavenly Dao, at this time you can say that there is no longer zài, but you are the strongest, because you have become the Heavenly Dao. ”
After listening to Polaris-kun, I finally understood after such a long time. "You mean that if you don't cultivate the Heavenly Spirit Qi, you will die?"
"It's not death, it's merging with the Great Dao. You can understand it as the dissipation of the spirit, the merging of the spirit into a greater will. ”
"What's the difference between that and dead?"
Polaris-kun thought for a long time and shook his head. "There should be a difference, but not much."
"Okay, I see. Anyway, this Heavenly Spirit Qi can't be absorbed indiscriminately, otherwise you will die if you don't do it well, and your creatures are all absorbing Heavenly Spirit Qi, so they are all kind-hearted and docile animals. ”
"It can't be said that all of them are kind-hearted beings, but the qi of the heavenly spirit is relatively peaceful, so the unconscious character of the creature who absorbs the qi of the heavenly spirit and cultivates will become a state of pure and inaction. You see, most of the divine beasts in my heavenly court have grown up by absorbing the qi of the heavenly spirit, so the demons of the lower realm are good and bad, but the divine beasts of the heavenly realm are rare to see a dangerous hài in the human world, because this heavenly spirit qi will affect the personality. ”
"It's rare to encounter a dangerous hài in the world, which doesn't mean that there is absolutely none, that is to say, although this heavenly spiritual qi has the effect of affecting the mind, there will still be special cases, right?"
"This ......"
Seeing that Polaris-kun still wanted to find a chance to trap me, I quickly stretched out my hand to stop his explanation and asked, "Just tell me if you have a strong and violent guy, right?" By the way, it's not just a violent personality, as long as it's not normal. ”
"There are really two or three of them if you want to say that."
Well, I finally got me to ask. I'll just say how this guy Polaris-kun took me through the forest. It seems that he has premeditated and wants to trick me out of anger. Speaking of which, my relationship with Polaris-kun is still good, of course he won't really hurt me, the so-called pit me out of anger is actually similar to joking between friends, but the relationship is iron, no matter how good the relationship is, I don't have a hobby of being rectified, and I can avoid it naturally.
"Arctic, you're not going to tell me that we're going to pass near the territory of those three on our way, right?"
"Just passing through one place."
"One place?" I thought for a moment and asked, "What kind of storage is the other party?" What is the personality? ”
"Is this ......" Polaris-kun thought for a long time and suddenly said: "Anyway, you don't have to worry, it's a guy who doesn't come out to hang out much, and I guess we won't be able to touch it." ”
"Then I believe you once, anyway, if there is a problem, I will run first, and leave you alone to solve the trouble." As I spoke, I began to walk forward again, and Polaris-kun saw that I finally didn't ask any questions and followed suit.
This fairy island is said to be unable to fly, but in fact, it is not absolutely impossible to fly, at least there are many sacred birds and some insects between the trees and trees are quite free. In addition, we found that some things that should not be able to fly are actually flying, as if we outsiders are the only ones who are really limited in our ability to fly. Of course, it's not that we can't fly absolutely either, at least Polaris-kun himself can still fly, but it can't fly high, at most only a few meters above the ground. Like now when we are walking through the forest, in fact, I am the only one who is climbing high and low, and Polaris-kun has always been floating there like a ghost. However, although he is floating and I am walking, in terms of speed, I am faster.
Xianling Mountain suppressed the flight ability of an alien creature, and although Polaris-jun could fly, his altitude and speed were severely limited. Now his ultimate flight speed is about the same as the speed of ordinary people running, although I am walking through the forest, but my basic attributes are too high, and my motor nerves are very developed, so I actually run faster than him. If it weren't for the need for Polaris-kun to lead the way, I would have been at least several times faster if I was alone.
As we walked through the forest, we soon crossed a long stretch of dense woodland, but a sudden canyon in front of us blocked our way. If you usually fly directly over this kind of canyon, but this place can fly a few meters high at most, which is obviously not suitable for flying over canyons. As for jumping over...... I don't have to think about it, because the span is already more than 100 meters, and although my jumping ability is good, it is not strong enough to cross 100 meters at a time.
"How did this place get there?" I stood on the edge of the cliff and leaned against a large tree that jutted out of the cliff and looked down, but there were dense clouds below, and I couldn't see the bottom at all.
Polaris-kun didn't get stumped by the canyon, and since he took me here, he must have known how to get through guò. Hearing my question, Polaris-kun didn't answer, but dragged a vine directly from the tree next to me to me. "Swing through with this."
"Would you use this?" I looked Polaris-kun up and down, and to be honest, I really didn't see that this old man's motor nerves were so good. The gods and goddesses give people the image of being ethereal and dusty, can you imagine what an old fairy in a robe and fairy wind and bones is like to grasp a vine in the forest to learn Tarzan of the apes?
Hearing my question, Polaris-kun said as a matter of course: "It's not for me, it's for you." ”
"I use? So what do you do? ”
"Of course I have my own way to get there."
"Damn, I wouldn't have asked if I had known." Actually, I asked this question before to ask Polaris-kun if he had a way to get there, or if I didn't consider him, I would have thought about it myself, it would be too easy. Even if I were to fly freely here, I would have at least three or more ways to get there. For example, let King Kong throw me over, anyway, with my motor nerves and wings behind my back, even if I can't fly, I will definitely be fine when I land. Of course, being thrown over is certainly not a comfortable thing, so I generally don't think about this. "Since you can go over, then I don't care about you, I'll go over first."
Polaris-kun nodded, and then began to rummage through his body, I didn't care about him, I directly raised my hand and aimed at a big tree on the opposite cliff, and then my fingers moved, and I only heard a poof, and the dragon tendon rope took the cable directly across the canyon and nailed it into the giant tree I was aiming at on the opposite side.
Originally, according to the normal situation, at this time, I just need to tighten the cable and jump up, and the rapidly tightening dragon tendon rope will naturally pull me to the opposite side. However, just as I was about to reel in the line, I suddenly heard a dull roar coming from the other side, and then the big tree I had just shot suddenly stood up in my stunned eyes, and then turned around. It was only at this time that I realized that there was a human face on the other trunk of the giant tree, which was at least more than ten meters thick. It's just because it looks like a human face, not that it's a human face, because no one's face is a few meters wide.
"Shuji?" I looked at the giant tree that turned around in surprise and turned my head and asked.
Polaris-kun also looked at me with a stunned look and said, "How can you shoot people with things?" ”
"I didn't know it was a tree, I just wanted to find a place to fix the rope. That guy grows so big, what do I shoot him if I don't shoot? ”
"Then explain it to him yourself."
"I didn't expect you to help anyway." As I spoke, I snapped my fingers, and then I saw a vine suddenly stretch out from the ground, and then the vine stretched out to a length of nearly 100 meters and threw it violently towards the other side of the cliff, and finally rushed to the ground. I jumped straight on the vine as soon as it had finished taking root, and although it was only a few inches wide, it was okay to run over it with my balance. After easily reaching the other side, I quickly ran to the tree, and immediately apologized, "I'm so sorry, I didn't know you were the tree." I just wanted to cross the cliff, so I wanted to find a place to hold the rope, I really didn't mean to shoot you. ”
The reason why I am so polite to this old tree is not because I have a good character, but because I can't help it. Although the strength of this thing is not very good, people are highly adaptable creatures in the forest environment after all. There is a saying among the players: "Never fight a bird in the sky, let alone a tree in the forest." "This tree is not only a tree, but also the king of trees. If I don't get his understanding, soon a large area of the surrounding forest will collectively *** treat me as an enemy. I don't care about them at all, but now we're in a hurry, so I don't have time to cut trees here.
Luckily, a creature like Shuji is naturally more honest. Seeing me apologize so politely, the tree immediately replied in a deep voice, "Since it's a misunderstanding, then I don't care." "I was about to say thank you when I heard this, but who knew that someone suddenly added another sentence." But you have to do something for me. ”
