Chapter 17: Nightmare Beast
The closer we got, the smell of blood mixed with the sound of swords clashing in the air.
Yexi held her breath and quietly observed in the dark, only to see that those mercenaries were all like crazy, their faces were blue, their eyes were blank, and their faces were attacking each other with hideous faces.
Tuoba Yi protected Tuoba Xin'er behind him, but he himself had already begun to look in a trance, and he was saying comforting words to Tuoba Xin'er, but from time to time he slashed at the air with his sword.
"Xin'er...... Come on. Tuoba Yi gritted his teeth fiercely and shook his head again, trying to sober himself up a little.
"This ......" the few people who came with Yexi couldn't help but be dumbfounded, "What's going on?"
Yexi suddenly caught a trace of the residual fragrance in the air, and suddenly realized that this was the same as the residual fragrance where they went just now, and immediately shouted to a few people: "Hold your breath!"
Qin Feng and the others immediately held their breath and didn't think much about it.
When Yexi was about to make a move, he saw that all the people who were still fighting just now fell down on their stomachs, and they were as quiet as if they were asleep.
Tuoba Yi also felt that he couldn't bear the sudden sleepiness, and he persevered for a while, and finally collapsed.
"Brother!" Tuoba Xin'er exclaimed, looked up and saw the four of Yexi, and hurriedly ran to Yexi's side and cried, "Yexi, look at my brother, why did he suddenly faint?"
"Why are you okay?" Qin Feng frowned, looking at Tuoba Xin'er, who had nothing to do, with a look of suspicion. Just now, a few people saw it, and the group of them all seemed to be crazy, but she hid behind her brother without the slightest sign.
"I don't know what's going on, everyone was waiting for you to come back just now, but they suddenly stood up like crazy and slashed at their teammates, my brother saw that something was wrong, and immediately protected me, but now he doesn't know why, so he fainted. Tuoba Xin'er couldn't stop crying, burping several times during the process, and choked up.
"It's a nightmare!"
"What?" Qin Feng and the others looked at Yexi in surprise.
"It's a nightmare!" said Nightnight, looking up at the towering trees around her. "The strange smell in the air is emitted by the Nightmare Beast, in order to confuse the prey. Nightmare beasts emit a message that traps people in illusions. Then let the prey sleep soundly, and then take the opportunity to kill. ”
As if to prove the night, the surrounding leaves began to rustle, and the canopy swayed even more. The fire was whistling and crackling by a gust of wind that came from the plain air.
"It's coming. ”
Hearing this, several people looked around vigilantly, and Tuoba Xin'er also hid behind Yexi in fear, trembling.
The surrounding trees shook even more, and suddenly a white shadow jumped down from a lush canopy and headed straight for the sleeping man lying on the ground. Yexi pulled out Tuoba Xin'er's saber nearby, and stabbed the thing in the mouth with a flash of lightning. The little thing reacted so quickly that it could avoid a leap and roll backwards, grinning at Yexi with a low warning roar.
At this time, a few people saw its appearance clearly, and one of Qin Feng's side exclaimed in amazement, "Rabbit?"
But no, I saw that the little thing was round and white, fluffy, with a pair of long ears erected, red eyes looking at several people vigilantly, and the tail was so short that it was almost invisible.
But if you look closely at its lower body, its legs are not as short as a rabbit, but as long as a fox, and its claws are sharp like an eagle's. Yexi looked at this little guy, and only felt a headache, this guy looks small, and it's quite cute, but its lethality is much more powerful than those tigers or something, just look at the pile of corpses in the woods just now.
It likes to eat hearts, whether it's a monster or a human. And looking at this one in front of him, it should be a fourth-order spirit beast. Generally, nightmare beasts that have reached the level of spirit beasts are difficult to deal with.
The nightmare beast bared its mouth at Yexi and the others for a while, issued a whirring warning, and then pouted at a tricky angle, and slammed a blow, Qin Feng couldn't dodge and was accidentally hooked on his left arm, "stabbing". Qin Feng first felt that his entire left arm was cold and swishing, and then a heart-rending pain hit him.
"Ahh
Without waiting for a few people to react, Nightmare Beast attacked again, and Yexi was about to pull out his pistol when his mind suddenly turned. No, there are not a few bullets in it, and only as a last resort, they can be used as hidden weapons.
Thinking about it, he had no choice but to pull out his dagger and leap forward with an arrow. Soaring through the treetops and riding his strength, the dagger against the nightmare's iron claws, making a sharp sound like weapons clashing.
A few of them could only faintly see her and the Nightmare Beast leaping across the trees in the unclear moonlight. The fight continued, Tuoba Xin'er was trembling below, and she couldn't help worrying, and the other three were also frowning, their eyes full of worry.
"Bump!"
"Wow!"
Suddenly, Qin Feng and the others looked at each other, only to see the Nightmare Beast slamming on the ground, chirping. One of its claws was bloody and severed, and its body was also pitted, no longer white, and its body had been cut several times, and it was bleeding profusely.
Yexi fell to the ground, Tuoba Xin'er couldn't be afraid, and hurriedly ran forward to pull Yexi, and asked with a trembling cry, "Yexi, are you injured?"
"I'm fine, you stand back a bit, be careful not to get hurt by it. ”
Yexi comforted Tuoba Xin'er and walked towards the Nightmare Beast step by step. The nightmare beast was threatened, bared its teeth and cried, dragging its broken body limping back, its body trembling in fear or pain, and finally it couldn't resist, so it could only bury its head and call weakly to surrender.
Ye Xi was about to raise his dagger to kill it, but Qin Feng spoke, "Ye Xi girl, this nightmare beast is also at the spirit beast level, why don't you contract it?" There happens to be a beast tamer in our team, he can help the girl." ”
The nightmare beast understood, and knew that there was a play, so it dragged its broken body and slowly crawled to Yexi's feet, rubbing her feet, and looked innocently at Yexi with big blood-red eyes, as if begging to accept it.
"In that case, I'll spare you your life, Xin'er, come and contract it. Ye Xi snorted coldly, and then said to Tuoba Xin'er behind her.
"Me?" Tuoba Xin'er pointed at herself unconsciously, looking incredulous.
The rest of the people were also stunned, they didn't believe that Yexi would give away the spirit beast that he had hunted so easily to others!
When the nightmare beast heard that it was not Yexi who wanted to contract him, he also looked at Tuoba Xin'er behind her, only to see that she was thin and small, and her strength was not strong, and she was only a sixth-order martial artist, and she was a little dissatisfied at the moment.
"Why, you still dislike her, so I might as well kill you!" Yexi looked at it coldly.
"Chirp. Frightened by the cold gaze, the Nightmare Beast's head shook like a rattle, and it didn't dare to have any dissatisfaction.
Yexi called the beast trainer, who was one of the two behind Qin Feng. He carefully approached the Nightmare Beast with Tuoba Xin'er, and Yexi watched from the sidelines. He cut off Tuoba Xin'er's index finger and put her hand on Nightmaremon's forehead, and a drop of blood slid down Nightmarmon's forehead. The beast trainer said a word, and the drop of blood slid down his forehead, and the nightmare beast's eyebrows suddenly glowed a little, and the blood was absorbed.
At this moment, the Nightmare Beast's whole body suddenly emitted a burst of light, knocking the beast tamer out of the air, and it was no big deal.
Nightshade frowned as the light surrounded Tuoba Xin'er and the Nightmare Beast into a sphere. Nightmare Beast's wounds are recovering at a visible rate, its coat color turning bright white, and its broken claws regrowing. And Tuoba Xin'er also began to change, her cultivation began to break through, fourth-order martial artist, fifth-order martial artist, sixth-order, seventh-order, eighth-order...... Warrior!
1st order, 2nd order......
Qin Feng and the others were dumbfounded, they only felt incredible, this person advanced, is it so easy? The cultivation of the people in their mercenary team is not low, most of them are people at the level of martial kings, only a few are at the level of martial artists, and he himself is a martial sect.
But their cultivation is all a breakthrough from one order to another, and I have never seen anyone break through several orders in a row, it's too shocking, it's incredible!
After a while, the light slowly weakened, and Tuoba Xin'er's was no longer advanced, but kept this appearance.
"It seems that she still has to wait like this, let's prepare, add some firewood first, and wait for the others to wake up, and then make plans. Qin Feng covered his arm that had been simply bandaged and said to one of them.
That person caught fire, so he sat by the fire with the beast tamer and Qin Feng, and the bright light of the fire reflected on their faces, leaving only speechlessness.
Yexi also sat down by the fire, and with a dagger in her left hand, she slashed the clothes of her right arm from her shoulder, and then put away the dagger, tearing the sleeve of her shirt with all her might. At this time, the two noticed that her arms were scarred, the originally slender and white arms were already red and swollen, and several of the particularly deep wounds were still gurgling with black blood.
Yexi took out a bottle of medicine from the space, sprinkled it without saying a word, and the moment the medicine powder touched the wound, sharp stinging pain spread all over the body, and the whole arm was numb with pain, but Yexi didn't say a word.
Qin Feng and the others looked at her dumbfounded, watching her neat movements, and gritting her teeth without saying a word, if it weren't for the fact that her face didn't have the slightest blood-colored pale under the light of the fire, they thought that she didn't feel pain at all.
Yexi sprinkled the medicine and handed the bottle to Qin Feng, "That beast's claws are poisonous, you quickly sprinkle it." ”
"Thank you," Qin Feng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and thanked him, and motioned to the people on the side to untie his wound and apply medicine again.
