Chapter 171: Driving the Wolf and Devouring the Tiger
Situ Nan didn't continue to say the next words, because if this was not the arrangement of the academy, then the change in the species of this strange beast could not be an accident that they would have to experience.
"Now that it's getting dark, let's find a place nearby to spend the night. ”
Ying Chen heard Situ Nan say this, and nodded, and then they only experienced two battles today, and the aura was still relatively abundant, but after a day of engrossed exploration, the loss of spiritual power was actually very large, especially Ying Chen, he was not as energetic as Situ Nan, and he was already a little tired at this time.
Although in this case, he can still hold on for two or three days, after all, he has experienced a lot before this kind of trial, and he has persevered, but first, this is night, and the efficiency of finding alien beasts is not as good as during the day, and second, those aliens have more hidden ability at night than during the day, if they encounter their ambush, they will be damaged.
Finally, and most importantly, the kind of trial that Yingchen experienced before was the kind of knife on his neck, and he could only bite out desperately to make himself persevere.
But at this time, Situ Nan was exploring in the wild, and maintaining physical strength and energy could make the next day's exploration more effective and safer.
With the memories of searching the surroundings during the day, Situ Nan and Ying Chen soon came to a cave, they had already explored this place before, and found no trace of the strange beast, so at this time they chose this place as their place to stay tonight.
He found some wood, and then Situ Nan extracted some simple fire from his irascible fire attribute to ignite these woods, which could not only illuminate but also ward off cold.
After lighting the bonfire, Situ Nan said to Yingchen, "I'm in the first half of the night, and you're in the second half of the night?"
Hearing this, Yingchen turned his head to look at Situ Nan and nodded slightly, he knew that Situ Nan was talking about the vigil, in the wild, the vigil is a very important thing!
If he was in the wild with others, he might choose to keep watch by himself in the middle of the night and let others rest for a while, but he could see that Situ Nan's mental state was much better than his own, so he agreed to Situ Nan's arrangement.
After grabbing two balls of thatch, drying them with spiritual power, and putting them under his buttocks, Ying Chen began to meditate and cultivate.
After all, although it is said to be resting, if there is really an accident, the cultivation state will definitely react much faster than sleeping.
Seeing that Yingchen began to close his eyes and cultivate, Situ Nan also closed his eyes, but his spiritual power was divided into two, and part of it still stayed in the outside world, vigilant of the changes around him.
......
There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, Situ Nan opened his eyes and looked around, and found that Yingchen was no longer in the cave, thinking that the other party should have been out of the cave, so he got up, put out the bonfire, turned around and walked out of the cave, and then saw Yingchen's figure.
At this time, Yingchen was actually climbing the peak where Situ Nan and they were, and he had climbed to half the distance at this time, but when he saw Situ Nan walking out of the cave, he kicked on the mountain a few times, and then landed in front of Situ Nan.
Situ Nan looked at Yingchen and asked, "Are you doing morning exercises?"
Hearing this, Yingchen wiped a drop of sweat from his forehead, and then spoke, "Morning exercise? Well, sort of." ”
After seeing the sweat on Yingchen's forehead, Situ Nan was slightly surprised in his heart, and then spoke, "Didn't use spiritual power?"
"It didn't work. ”
Hearing Yingchen say this, Situ Nanfang was stunned, before he was puzzled by Yingchen's strength, how could there be sweat just climbing such a mountain, after hearing Yingchen say that he didn't use spiritual power, Fang was suddenly shocked, but he was still a little shocked.
Before, he was surprised, he was surprised that there was a drop of sweat on the other party, and at this time, he was surprised that the other party only had a drop of sweat.
"Okay, now that we've warmed up, let's move on to looking for strange beasts, let's go a little deeper today, and it's enough to go about two hundred meters deeper. ”
Hearing this, Yingchen bowed slightly.
Because the two of them don't have any external luggage, they just said they would go, without a little stop.
......
After two hundred meters deeper, Shadow Chen climbed to the treetops again, but he didn't move sideways, just probing his surroundings with his own eyes.
"Seven hundred meters away on the left, there are traces of strange beasts. ”
When Situ Nan heard this, the corners of his mouth hooked, "Is there finally a shadow of a strange beast?" Yingchen, come down, we are still moving on the ground, so as not to be ambushed by those aliens." ”
"Hmm!"
As the words fell, Yingchen returned to Situ Nan's side.
In fact, if it weren't for the academy's explicit stipulation that the right ear of the alien beast should be submitted as a standard for calculating the number of alien beasts hunted, Situ Nan and Ying Chen would have already attacked these aliens.
However, these aliens are extremely strange, they don't have the kind of ears of other animals, and they also have a characteristic, that is, they can cut off their tails to survive!
If that's all it takes, they are still the same existence, which means that even if Situ Nan and Ying Chen want to get their heads by decapitation as trophies, they can't do it.
After all, there is no difference between the two, the aliens will only open their mouths when they eat, and only then will they expose their weaknesses, and only then will they give others a chance to kill with one blow!
However, the aliens themselves also know that they have this weakness, so generally speaking, if they want to eat, they will return to their nest before starting to eat, so ordinary people can't wait for them to open their big mouths, let alone cut off their heads.
Of course, it doesn't mean that alien creatures are invincible, if you don't consider leaving their bodies, in fact, it's very simple to kill them, even mortal fire, you can directly burn them, of course, in the case of their cultivation is not enough.
It was precisely because it was too difficult to obtain an alien death body as a trophy that Situ Nan had some doubts yesterday, because it was hard for him to believe that the academy would use this kind of alien beast that was difficult to obtain a death body as their hunting target.
However, out of trust in the name of Menglan Academy, Situ Nan is still not too afraid of the threat of the existence of these aliens, if it is true that these aliens have invaded these mountain ranges by themselves, it is not difficult to kill them all with the means of Menglan Academy!
After all, in the academy, there are so many powers in the Dengfeng Realm, just two of them, and these aliens will only have the only way to become extinct.
However, these were all things that Situ Nan was thinking about, and at this time, he and Yingchen were still continuing to move in the direction that Yingchen had seen before, and there were traces of strange beasts.
After the two of them advanced three hundred meters, that is, four hundred meters away from the place mentioned earlier, Ying Chen Fang spoke, "I can see clearly, there are six snow wolves there. Now they have moved a hundred meters in that direction, so at this point they are five hundred meters away from us. ”
"Six snow wolves?" Situ Nan heard this, and secretly thought to himself, the more social beasts like snow wolves, the greater the threat to them, even if these six snow wolves are all in the middle of the hall, the threat to them will be as high as the two snow leopards in the late stage of the hall yesterday.
However, because this was a strange beast that they had encountered for so long, Situ Nan began to speak, "Let's go and take a look first, if there are more than two snow wolves that exceed the mid-stage cultivation of the hall, we will withdraw!"
As he spoke, Situ Nan paused slightly, and then said, "Wait until tomorrow and we'll come back to them." ”
Originally, when he heard Situ Nan say "withdraw", Yingchen was still a little reluctant, because if he missed this batch of snow wolves, he didn't know when he would encounter a strange beast next time, even if there were two snow wolves on the other side, they might not be able to take it, at most they would lose more.
But when he heard Situ Nan say "Come back tomorrow", Yingchen instantly understood Situ Nan's intentions, if it is a hard bone to gnaw on the other side, then leave it until tomorrow, and when the time comes, after taking each other down, the two of them can leave this mountain range and return to the academy, so that the hidden dangers are much less.
So Yingchen didn't refute, just nodded.
After they had advanced two hundred meters, Situ Nan suddenly stopped, because he felt a sense of peeping coming from directly in front of them.
After Situ Nan noticed this sense of peeping, he hurriedly said to Yingchen, "Yingchen, you use your aura to improve your eyesight and take a look at the cultivation of that snow wolf." ”
Situ Nan said as he leaned out his spiritual power forward, although three hundred meters was a bit difficult for his spiritual power at this time, and it might not be impossible to find it.
When Yingchen heard Situ Nan say this, he was stunned at first, and then he stimulated the aura, poured it into his eyes, and looked ahead.
After finding the group of snow wolves, Ying Chen subconsciously spoke, "There are six snow wolves, five of them are all mid-stage cultivators, and the first one is in the late stage of ascending to the hall...... No, the silver veins on its face are golden! Moreover, it seems to have Wang Wen on its forehead!"
Just as Yingchen exclaimed, Situ Nan also detected the fluctuations in the spiritual power of the snow wolf led by the other party, and there were indeed signs of entering the room realm.
If that's all it is, after all, a snow wolf at the peak of the Tang realm is not much different from two snow wolves in the middle of the Tang Dynasty, but the problem is that the other party is a wolf king!
On the Menglan Continent, whether it is a snow wolf, a grass wolf, or other wolves, there will be such a special existence as the wolf king, who is like a genius in the human race, and can do cross-level challenges!
In other words, the wolf king, who has been ascending to the late stage of the realm, can already fight the existence of the early stage of the room realm, and this wolf king has already entered the room realm with one foot, which means that even against the existence of the middle stage of the room realm, it also has the power to fight.
Moreover, in addition to their own superior combat effectiveness, the wolf king also has a certain incentive effect on other ordinary wolves, which can improve the strength of other ordinary wolves to a certain extent.
In other words, the snow wolf king on the opposite side, plus its five subordinate wolves, against the six ordinary wolves in the late stage, the winner must be the former!
In other words, if Situ Nan and Yingchen want to face each other, it is equivalent to the six snow wolves they need to defeat in the late stage!
Maybe Situ Nan and Yingchen can outperform each other with all their might, but this is not a ring match after all, but a jungle mountain range! If they really fight with this team of snow wolves, there is a high probability that they will be reaped by other alien beasts!
And Situ Nan can be sure that the previous sense of snooping must be the Snow Wolf King, because his spiritual power "saw" the Snow Wolf King opposite, facing him and Yingchen, and grinned!
Seeing this, Situ Nan said to Yingchen on the side, "Yingchen,"
"Huh?" Shadow Chen was stunned for a moment when he heard this.
"Let's run!"
"Oh!"
The words fell, and both of them left in the direction they came, without any intention of attacking the wolf pack.
Again, in the jungle, protecting yourself is the most important thing!
"Whew!"
The Snow Wolf King howled when he saw Situ Nan and Ying Chen starting to flee, and then rushed towards Situ Nan and Ying Chen with his five younger brothers.
"Woohoo, woohoo......"
Listening to the wolf roars coming from behind him from time to time, Yingchen turned his head to look at Situ Nan, "What should I do, they seem to be eyeing us?"
When Situ Nan heard this, he was also a little embarrassed for a while, if this team was a snow leopard, they only needed to run for a while, and these snow leopards would naturally lose patience to chase them, and then they would disperse.
But snow wolves are different, their patience is much better than that of snow leopards, and once their prey is targeted by them, it must be endless!
While galloping forward, Situ Nan thought about it, and when he saw another alien appear in front of him, his eyes lit up, and he said, "There you have it! ”
As he spoke, Situ Nan adjusted his direction and ran towards the woods.
Seeing this, Yingchen didn't ask much, just followed.
After he ran for a while, Fang said with some hesitation, "This direction...... Is it the position of the alien from yesterday?"
When Situ Nan heard this, the corners of his mouth hooked, "Well! That's it! The predecessors drove the wolf and devoured the tiger, and today we can also drive the alien wolf devourer! If they can fight and lose both, we may be able to be fishermen again!"
Hearing Situ Nan say this, a smile also flashed on Yingchen's face, being a fisherman? That's a good job!
After Situ Nan and Yingchen ran forward for about fifty meters, the two of them suddenly jumped up and rushed to the top of the tree, and then the two of them suddenly increased their speed, Situ Nan even used the power of his wind rules, and for a while the two of them brought a burst of afterimages on the tree.
After the two of them swept over here, a black shadow crossed behind them, majestic, and the aura at the peak of the room realm was extremely clear!
After the two dodged the attack, Situ Nan and Yingchen slowed down and looked back at the big alien at the bottom of the tree.
Ordinary aliens are not large, small and even only the size of an ordinary adult's palm, but their bodies are very malleable, and when the palm-sized alien eats, its mouth can suddenly increase to the size of an adult, and an adult can be swallowed in one bite.
And this alien is already two adult sizes in its usual size, and the huge tentacles that it attacked Situ Nan and Ying Chen before were just a small tentacle extending from its body, and if it opened its big mouth, it could even swallow an object seven or eight meters high in one bite.
It's just that because of their cautious nature, they don't usually open their mouths casually.
And the big alien waved the huge tentacle twice angrily after its attack failed, and then it seemed to sense something, and suddenly withdrew its tentacles, and it itself hid in the big tree it parasitized, without a trace.
Even Situ Nan and Yingchen, who had been looking at it, couldn't help but be surprised at this time, because even if they kept staring at each other, it was still difficult for them to see the trace of the alien at this time.
It was only when they were engrossed in the alien's position that they could see something unusual.
If it weren't for the fact that Situ Nan and Ying Chen were a little vigilant at the same time after approaching this alien, which made them search around inch by inch, I am afraid that they would have become the meal of this alien yesterday, where would it be their turn to use this alien today.
Not long after the alien withdrew his tentacles, the Snow Wolf King came to this realm with its five little brothers, and when they were fifty meters away from the alien, the Snow Wolf King suddenly howled, and then its five little brothers all stopped and began to search for something around.
Looking at this scene, Situ Nan couldn't help but say to Yingchen on the side, "It seems that this Snow Wolf King is really extraordinary, and he can even detect the traces of aliens. ”
Hearing this, Yingchen also nodded, "Well, we still searched for a long time yesterday to find this alien, I don't know how long they will have to be found." ”
When Situ Nan heard this, the corners of his mouth hooked, "It won't take long, after all, their methods of finding things are different from ours." ”
"Huh?" Ying Chen was stunned for a moment, and then when he saw those snow wolves who didn't listen to twitching noses, he suddenly said, "Smell!"
"Well, after all, they are close relatives of dogs, and this instinct to find things with their noses should not be underestimated!"
As Situ Nan and Ying Chen were talking, one of the five snow wolves suddenly "whined" a few times in the direction where the alien was located, indicating that there was an unusual presence there.
After hearing the snow wolf's howl, the Snow Wolf King looked over there, and then moved its nose slightly, as if it smelled something, and then it actually found a stone on the side and threw it towards the alien.
Don't look at the snow wolf's body structure is different from the human body, but the power of this snow wolf king throwing stones is roughly similar to that of normal upright walking animals, and the stone rushed towards the alien with great momentum, and then smashed heavily on the alien's body.
"Ahh
When the stone smashed into the alien, the alien suffered pain and broke away from the tree, and then screamed.
When the alien spoke, Situ Nan immediately discovered the part of the other party's opening!
At the same time, the Snow Wolf King's eyes lit up, and then it roared again, and then it and its five younger brothers rushed towards the location of the alien.
Next, a parkour unfolded in front of Situ Nan and Ying Chen's eyes, only to see the alien wave his tentacles from time to time, towards the snow wolves, except for one snow wolf was blocked by a tree that happened to break, so that it was hit by the tentacles of the alien, the other four ordinary snow wolves, plus the snow wolf king, all dodged the alien's attack, and rushed to the vicinity of the alien.
After the alien was surrounded by five snow wolves, it immediately withdrew its tentacles and defended its surroundings while confronting these snow wolves.
Don't look at the cultivation of this alien has reached the peak of entering the room, but because the combat ability of the alien is really not very good, they are more often unprepared for their prey, stun the other party through their venom or tentacles, and then take them away and eat them.
Or when they're sure it's safe, they'll go straight behind their prey, open their mouths, and swallow their prey in one gulp!
But at this time, the Snow Wolf King had already discovered the traces of the alien in advance, and these five snow wolves had already surrounded the alien, and with the agility of these snow wolves, it was difficult for the alien to attack with its own tentacles.
When these tentacles seem a little, the Xenomorph can only activate its other attack, and that is its venom!
I saw that the alien opened its mouth for the second time in front of the five wolves, and then an extremely rich liquid spurted out of its mouth.
The two snow wolves in front of the alien immediately dodged, and one of them reacted half a beat slower, and was contaminated with the venom, and then a cloud of smoke immediately rose from the contaminated part of its body.
At this moment, the snow wolf king suddenly disappeared, and then it appeared beside the snow wolf, and with a sharp claw, it directly cut the part of the snow wolf that was contaminated with venom, and for a while, the flesh and blood were blurred.
When Situ Nan and Yingchen saw this move of the Snow Wolf King, they couldn't help but pay attention, and at the same time secretly praised in their hearts, "What a strong man cutting his wrists!"
With the power of this alien venom, if this snow wolf king didn't cut open that part of the body of this snow wolf, that snow wolf would not live for five breaths!
After the Snow Wolf King cut open the body of his compatriot, his eyes turned red, and then disappeared in place again, and when it reappeared, it was already close to the alien, the same claws, the same strength, but this time, its target was not its own companion, but the alien who had harmed its companion.
Although this Snow Wolf King is not slow, this alien is after all an existence in the late stage of entering the room, and the two tentacles quickly retracted, blocking in front of the Snow Wolf King, and at the same time, the third tentacle swept through the venom it spit out before, and then swept towards the location of the Snow Wolf King.
It's also strange to say that the venom that made the Snow Wolf King cut his wrists before, after being contaminated with the alien tentacles, did not produce the slightest abnormality, as if it was not poisonous.
......
