Chapter 53: The Pine Beast Strikes

"Hello Captain Liu, I'm the captain of the caravan, Xu Jin. Thank you for taking on this escort mission. When I arrive in Yaohai City, I will definitely do my best to entertain you as a landlord. Xu Jin has a friendly attitude and a smile on his face.

"Boss Xu is polite, it is our task to escort you to Yaohai City safely. Hospitality is dispensed with, lest it be tongue-in-cheek. Liu Hao, who has been paying attention to Yaohai City for a long time, naturally knows Xu Hua's identity and background.

In other cities, this mission may not be your turn. Since ancient times, it has been difficult to repay the debt of human affection. The debt of favors that can be obtained so easily cannot be found with a lantern.

"That's right. I believe there will always be a chance for me to entertain you well. Captain Liu, this is our proposed return route, please take a look at it. Xu Jin handed Liu Hao the marked map.

After taking a closer look, Liu Hao said with a smile: "No problem, let's go!" Strive to be able to reach the outskirts of the pine forest today and walk through the pine forest in two days. ”

"Refreshing! I, Lao Xu, like to deal with people like you. Seeing that Liu Hao did not raise any objections, Xu Jin was very happy. He was afraid that Liu Hao would be unhappy, which would cause the subsequent itinerary to become stumbling.

The road from Luyang City to Songlin was easy and smooth, and there was a small barbecue in the middle.

In the evening, the caravan was stationed three miles away from the pine forest. This distance was set by Liu Hao, and Xu Jin did not object.

"One group is responsible for guarding the position two miles outside the camp, the second group is responsible for guarding around the camp, the third group rests until midnight to replace the second group, and the fourth group rests until midnight to replace the second group." When Liu Hao was camping in the caravan, he gave a warning order to the team members.

"Captain Liu, won't this be too hard. We are three miles away from the pine forest, isn't it a bit of a fuss to set up a cordon two miles away? Xu Jin walked over with a smile and handed Liu Hao a cigarette.

Liu Hao took the cigarette but didn't light it, but replied semi-solemnly: "Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years." Until we get accurate information about the anomaly in the pine forest, we must treat it with 12 points of vigilance. ”

"I'm sorry for you, I don't have anything to say. It would be wise to choose you and your team as our escort. Maybe the friendship between you and me will be forged because of this. I'm not a good person, but I still have a true temperament. I've made up your friend. Xu Jin wanted to pat Liu Hao on the shoulder, but his arm hung in mid-air and then suddenly retracted it.

"Lu Yao knows that the horsepower has been seen for a long time. Lao Xu, can you become a friend, let time tell. If your hand had been on my shoulder, I wouldn't have said it before. Liu Hao lit a cigarette and spit out a smoke ring.

"Hahaha..., my old Xu didn't see the wrong person. Don't prepare dinner, we'll do it for you. When you are full, you will have energy. Xu Jin's evaluation of Liu Hao changed again. The original self was not very optimistic about him, and no matter how powerful the rumors were, they were also rumors. But now, I have to face the young captain in front of me.

At night, the pine waves are bursting, even if they are three miles away, they can let everyone hear it really well. The open field is a natural microphone, and even the smallest sound can be infinitely amplified.

The sound of the campfire beating, the snoring, and the self-care of those who love to drink a little wine. Except for a detachment led by Liu Hao, all the people in the caravan entered or were about to enter a comfortable sleep mode.

The sound of "squeaky lala" gradually increased, and Xiao Wang, who was sensitive to sound in a group of members, quickly moved to Niu Shan's side and whispered: "Niu Tou, I feel that something is wrong, as if something unknown is approaching us." ”

"To be clear, what did you hear?" Niu Shan was convinced of Xiao Wang's words, and he had a talent for it.

"I said don't scold me. I feel like a pine tree. Xiao Wang subconsciously shrank back.

"Pine? Listen to it again, feel it carefully, how far away is it? Niu Shan thought of something.

"Half a mile away from us, and at the speed at which they move, we expect to get to us in a quarter of an hour."

"You keep listening, and I'll report to the captain right away." Niu Shan realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately ran back to the camp.

After listening to Niu Shan's report, Liu Hao immediately asked the members of the second and third groups to rush to the front line with him, and the members of the fourth group were responsible for protecting the safety of the caravan.

"Captain, the pine tree really moves!" Dong Ming opened his mouth in surprise, and his chin was long.

"It's not a moving pine tree, it's a pine beast!" Liu Hao was very glad that when he borrowed the book, he thought the book "Demon Beast Illustrated" was very interesting, so he borrowed it easily. Whether it was the previous Purple Crystal Beast or the pine beast in front of him, the "Demon Beast Illustrated Book" has played an important role.

"Captain, what is a pine beast?" Niu Shan heard this name for the first time, and hurried to ask.

"In our world, there are not only evil spirits but also demon beasts. The birth of demon beasts is extremely strict, but in general it is divided into two categories, one is born and raised, and it is naturally bred. The other type is the body that was taken away by the remnants of evil spirits and transformed through cultivation.

The pine beast in front of us belongs to the second type. But how can there be so many? ”

"Hey, Captain! Now is not the time to think about how many there are, tell us what to do with them! Niu Shanhuo asked anxiously. Although he was strong, he had to admit that the pine beast was more powerful than him.

"Simple, two ways. One is to split them into slag and burn them into slag. The other is the demon pill that took them. ”

"I understand the scumbag, where is the demon pill?" Niu Shan continued to ask.

A chestnut burn of "bang" knocked heavily on Niu Shan's head. "Begging guys! Ask so much! Hit it! But there is one thing I want to tell you, the pine beast will increase its movement and attack speed in a very short time, so you must be careful. ”

Under the command of Liu Hao, the three groups of team members rushed out of the defense line and took the initiative to attack the pine beast.

When the pine beast saw the rushing crowd, it did not defend itself, but stood still in place.

Their abnormality made Liu Hao's brows furrowed and he felt uneasy.

The sound of "clanging" sounded, and the team members who were good at using weapons slashed at the pine beast.

"Whew", "Whew", the flames lit up, and the team members who are good at using talismans threw one fireball talisman after another without hesitation.

Under the fierce attack of the team members, the pine beasts remained indifferent, even if cracks and scorch marks appeared on their bodies.

"What's wrong?" Liu Hao held his chin and thought quickly.

"Chirp!" The signal sheet lifted into the air, and Liu Hao exclaimed urgently: "Not good!" Hit the trick! Turn the tiger away from the mountain! ”

Just as everyone was about to retreat, the indifferent pine beast suddenly made a move. As if they had calculated that the alertness of the players would be minimized at this moment, the swift attack caused the players to be seriously injured.

The power of a charged blow is no joke, and the injuries are still serious if they are sloppy.
