Chapter 187: The Lone Hunter
A month later.
Northwest of the Great Wilderness, Gaozhuoyan District.
As far as the eye can see, the endless Gobi Zhongshan rocks stand tall, with strange rocks and dogs' teeth intertwined, like a jungle carved out of rocks.
Each rock is riddled with holes that lead to a labyrinth of caverns.
Coupled with the dark river hidden hundreds of meters underground, this seemingly lifeless stone forest has become a paradise for wasteland creatures.
It is also the best hiding place for monsters.
Li Yao curled up under a gray-brown camouflage sunscreen, like a dull rock.
A venomous sand scorpion crawled from his ass to the top of his head, and slowly climbed down, tail writhing and searching for prey between the rocks.
"I can't live this day!"
Li Yao took a careful sip of water with a straw.
Because of the strict exposure to the sun, the water bladder made of demon beast leather is boiling hot, and it tastes sour.
He was reluctant to waste it, so he took a small sip and slowly moistened his burning throat.
Thinking back to a month ago, he slaughtered all sides in Qingze City, swept points crazily, and killed a demon king with his own hands as an executioner, what a sense of meaning was [full of spirit, full of energy!]
However, this battle seems to have exhausted all the luck, and the progress of the next month was not very smooth.
Since the battle of Qingze City, the demon clan has become honest all of a sudden, perhaps because of the loss of a demon king, the high-level demon clan in the blood demon world does not dare to act rashly, and is readjusting its strategy.
In short, in the next month, the southern part of the Great Wilderness was calm, and there were only two small-scale beast outbreaks, and the wormholes were all opened in the wilderness.
By the time Li Yao learned the news, the military had already dispatched a large number of spar warships, blasting the beast tide so that there was no scum left.
And the northern part of the Great Wilderness. In the vast area where human beings have not yet fully controlled, there are several hidden nests of demon beasts, and even a few small wormholes, which will be opened several times a year from time to time, and a large number of demon beasts will enter the Tianyuan Realm.
However, these dangerous areas were only accessible to high-level cultivators and military forces. No matter how bold Li Yao is, he also knows that looking for death and taking risks are not the same thing.
He had also teamed up with several senior classmates whose strength had reached the seventh level or above in the Qi refining period, and went on an extremely difficult mission to hunt a high-level demon soldier Red Eagle Lion.
It took seven days and seven nights, several storms, and a mouth full of yellow sand, and finally killed the Red Eagle Lion, but because he was the weakest and contributed the least. The credits allocated are just a little scraps, and when converted, it is better to take classes honestly in school!
After suffering such a dark loss, Li Yao was not very willing to form a team with senior students.
But the problem came again, Zhao Tianchong and Lu Tieshan didn't have such an urgent need for credits as him, and they still wanted to cultivate step by step, step by step, and they were not willing to go out on adventures every once in a while.
Anyway, I earned a lot of credits in Qingze City. It's enough for them to consume for a while.
Thinking about it, Li Yao gritted his teeth. made a decision that seemed crazy to others.
He applied for a large number of hunting missions and was ready to hunt monsters freely in the wasteland alone.
The Lone Ranger is not so easy to be, although he is very free to move, and after killing the monster, he can take all the credits alone, but there is no support. There is no supply, no intelligence, and everything is on your own.
In the murderous wasteland, it is definitely the most dangerous profession.
Of course, Li Yao did not kill himself, he also has a secret weapon.
That is the magic weapon that can cultivate on its own - the Black Wing Sword!
Xiao Hei, this guy is a magic weapon. But his cultivation was even crazier than Li Yao's, and a large part of the credits he consumed were exchanged for high-purity spars for Xiao Hei to devour.
After this guy devoured the spar, more and more black spirit silk gushed out of his body, becoming thicker and thicker, and it could be condensed into black wings very clearly.
The black wings spread, and it grew faster and faster.
Li Yao has tested that Xiao Hei's ultimate speed has broken through the speed of sound, reaching more than twice the speed of sound.
Later, Xiao Hei was able to further improve his speed, but Li Yao's body couldn't stand it.
If you accelerate further, you may be torn to pieces by the air.
This speed has surpassed many combat shuttles.
As an incomparably flexible flying sword, Xiao Hei far surpasses big guys like the Xuanniao War Shuttle and the Red Flame War Shuttle in small-scale maneuvers, and can make countless intricate fancy moves.
With the secret weapon of Xiao Hei, Li Yao dared to go into the wilderness alone.
He specially chose some relatively safe areas not far from the military base to hunt demon beasts that were not strong but contained precious materials in their bodies.
Once there was a strong enemy above the high-level demon soldier, he didn't say a word, immediately hugged the black wing sword and fled.
He also thought about it, the speed of the Black Wing Sword was so fast, even if he didn't have any other magical powers, he flew over directly to stab the demon beast with a sword, but he was afraid that the demon general would poke a transparent hole in his body.
However, Xiao Hei's previous owner didn't know what to do with it, and it seemed that some kind of prohibition had been placed to seal its attack ability.
Whenever Li Yao drove the Black Wing Sword to attack the demon beast, this guy always kept circling around his head, looking very confused.
Li Yao couldn't figure out why he studied for a long time, and then he had to give up and use the Black Wing Sword as a simple escape tool.
In the vast wasteland, the battle mode between humans and monsters is completely different from the urban street fighting.
There are no stunned demon beasts here, gathered into a tide and pounced on Li Yao to kill, heavy weapons such as six-barreled rotating bombardment cannons and heavy concussion knives are cumbersome, there are too many places to escape, the bombardment cannon just began to rotate, and the demon beasts shrank underground, no matter how powerful the firepower is?
Without the assistance of heavy magic weapons, in order to strengthen his attack power and hunt more powerful demon beasts, Li Yao could only take the risk of cultivating a martial arts course with great power and great difficulty.
He chose "Wild Sand Knife Method"!
This sword technique, which sounds extremely domineering, originates from the sandstorms that often occur in the wasteland, and when cultivated to the extreme, the sword light rotates, as if a hurricane is coming, flying sand and rocks. It can set off waves of sand and gather into a giant sand knife to slash the enemy.
Among all the courses in the martial arts department, the "Wild Sand Sword Method" belongs to the most difficult level, and usually only senior students who are above the seventh level in the Qi refining period can cultivate.
Li Yao tried his best to improve his combat effectiveness, but he couldn't take care of so much. took out nearly 2,000 credits in one go and chose the "Crazy Sand Knife Method".
As a result, reality taught him a deep lesson - he hung up!
Although college life is incomplete without failing a subject, Li Yao is still depressed and about to vomit blood.
Losing one or two thousand credits is still secondary, the point is that there is not much time left for him.
Li Yao found himself in a strange circle.
In order to get a lot of credits in a short period of time, you have to venture to more dangerous areas and hunt higher-level monsters.
If you want to hunt higher-level demon beasts, you must do your best to improve your strength.
If you want to improve your strength, you have to risk dropping a lot of credits. Go to the cultivation of difficult and powerful miraculous arts.
Once you fail the course, a lot of credits will be wasted.
And as he spun around in this strange circle, time was passing by minute by minute.
The deadline for registered refiner registration is not far away!
Fortunately, it seems that luck has gradually returned to him since last week.
The first is that he went berserk under the stimulation of the hanging department. On a rainstorm night full of thunder and lightning, the more I thought about it, the more angry I became. The more he practiced, the more crazy he became, and he actually rushed to the sixth layer of the Qi Refining Period in one go, becoming a mid-level cultivator in the Qi Refining Period!
With this strength, even among the top five hundred cultivation sects in the Federation, he can hold a grassroots position.
Subsequently, he dropped a lot of credits. re-applied for the "Wild Sand Knife Method", and with the comprehension of the thunderstorm night, he finally succeeded in passing the test, not only making up for the credits that were smashed twice, but also making a small profit.
Take advantage of the recent limelight. Li Yao harnessed the Black Wing Sword, flew thousands of miles in one go, and ventured to the Gaozhuoyan District in the northwest of the Great Wilderness.
This is usually the range of activities of high-level demon soldiers and high-level cultivators in the Qi refining period, but it also lurks in the prey of priceless prey.
Li Yao quickly set his sights on a triangular spearhead pit viper.
The strength of the adult triangular spearhead pit can reach that of an intermediate demon soldier, and its venom contains a very rare ingredient, after being refined, it is an indispensable raw material for the preparation of many high-level strengthening potions, and it cannot be synthesized artificially.
Therefore, the value of the triangular spearhead pit is extremely high, and if the venom gland is intact, it can redeem more credits than many high-level demon soldiers.
However, the triangular spearhead pit is extremely vigilant, and usually lurks in the intricate nests underground, hiding from the attacks of human powerhouses and hedron warships, and rarely appears on the ground.
Unless......
The sand scorpion that had just disappeared between the rubble reappeared, crawling around under Li Yao's nose.
Li Yao ran "Divine Technique" to the limit, and the pores were tightly closed.
Not only did it exude a trace of aura, but even breathing was reduced to a minimum.
And the camouflage sunscreen camouflage cloth he covered completely locks in the heat, allowing him to blend in with the surrounding rocks.
Sand scorpions are the favorite food of the triangular spearhead pit viper.
Since the appearance of this sand scorpion, the triangular spearhead pit that Li Yao had been staring at had been lying dormant tightly in the dark for four hours.
Finally-
Seeing the sand scorpion swaggering and crawling into the distance, the triangular spearhead pit could no longer hold back.
The figure flashed, like a javelin, and shot out with lightning, stabbing at the sand scorpion.
Just as it swallowed the sand scorpion into its belly, the "rock" that was close at hand suddenly burst!
Li Yao roared, stride, and turned!
When the huge centrifugal force danced the body into a whirlwind, the war knife came out of its sheath, and with a "swish", the blade swept through the flying sand, and the fist-sized head rose to the sky, and the expression of the snake's eyes froze in the instant satisfaction of enjoying the deliciousness, and he did not react until he died.
Half a second, a perfect hunt ended.
In this contest of dormancy and patience, Li Yao is the final victor. (To be continued......)
