Chapter 144: The Girl Who Interned
The area outside the underground geode is a small high slope.
The area of the high slope is not large, the size of only the size of a football field, and the underground geode is located at the highest point of this high slope.
There were only a few large trees on the high slope that had dried up, and the vines hanging on the trees had lost their leaves, and the dried vines clinged weakly to the rocks in the grass, extending in the direction of the underground geode.
Shi Xinyu moved away from the overwhelmed grass in the direction chosen by Li Chen and Shi You, and headed to the east of the high slope.
Walking in the Blood Vine Demon Forest again, Li Chen realized that this Blood Vine Demon Forest didn't seem to be just an ordinary forest as he had seen it at the beginning.
The area they traveled in was not as dense as the woods and trees that Li Chen had been in for the first time. Each large tree was separated by tens of meters, and the moonlight and starlight in the sky could easily be cast onto the ground in front of them.
This may be due to the fact that the trees here are sparse and the canopy is not as compacted as elsewhere. The area where they walk is covered with weeds.
The weeds grow luxuriantly, and most of them look very much like the dog's tail grass on the earth, but the weeds themselves emit a faint blue light.
Above Li Chen's heads, above the high canopy of trees, Li Chen could see that the ends of those branches seemed to have some fruits hanging on them. The fruit was the size of a human head, and the branches in the canopy drooped down. Li Chen found that most of the trees around him were of the same kind, but the fruits were all emitting colorful light, and the colors were not uniform.
What was even more novel was that among the shiny fruits were slender vines growing outward, and the vines were glowing green, spreading along the branches that produced the fruit to the center of the canopy where Li Chen could not see.
Not long after leaving the high slope where the underground geode was located, the team of nine people changed from a scattered formation to a vertical formation, with the two sisters Shi Xinlan and Shi Xinyu walking at the front, while Li Chen took Xiao Hei at the back of the line.
A group of nine people walked in this grass, except for Li Chen, who was relatively tall, and the grass could reach his waist. But the girls were more uncomfortable, and the dense grass covered their chests, and in some places they could even drown them directly.
As for Xiao Hei, not to mention, after being driven down from his calf by Li Chen many times, Xiao Hei could only follow the back of the line angrily, twisting his fat body through the bottom of the grass.
Shi Xinyu and Shi Xinlan are equivalent to scouts in this trial, in fact, the people of their western Shicun are mainly responsible for scouts or assassins after entering the caravan escort team of the Shicun clan after leaving the Blood Vine Demon Forest, so what they usually come into contact with in training is mainly related to exploration and assassination.
It was only now that Li Chen knew that the long-legged beauties in the western stone village were all taking the assassination route.
"So, in fact, Shi Yun's long-legged old aunt is the one who asked me to be a T for you!?" Li Chen helplessly asked Shi You in front of him, if Li Chen is the captain appointed by Shi Yun, then Shi You is undoubtedly the vice captain!
"Huh!? What is that? Shi You could always hear all kinds of new words from Li Chen's mouth, but he didn't understand what the special meaning was.
"It's the meat shield, the magical species that pulls hatred!"
Shi You listened to Li Chen's explanation and immediately nodded in agreement and said, "Sister Yun said that this is the Blood Vine Demon Forest, and the IQ of the blood beast can't be compared with a human after all, so it's okay to let Brother Li Chen you attract the attack of the blood beast, after all, your physical strength is high, and your qi and blood are more than what we seem!" ”
Li Chen shrugged his shoulders, this is also a helpless thing, who let him have nothing to do except for the strength of his physical body, even a fog spirit of the day after tomorrow was not defeated by himself, and in the end, it was actually that guy who blew himself up to pass the inheritance assessment of the central stone village.
Because when Li Chen conducted the inheritance assessment, the girls were fully rested, and now they are full of enthusiasm for the trial.
Although Shi Xinyu has a lively personality, he soon discovered the traces of the first blood beast.
"Sister Yoyo! Come and see! Shi Xinyu shouted in a low voice that everyone could hear, and the whole team formed a semicircle again and came to the area discovered by Shi Xinyu.
"It's a small omnivorous bloodbeast!" Stone heart rain is a trace found under the roots of a large tree.
The roots of the tree bulged like dragons on the solid ground, and under its bulge, holes the size of basketballs lay black on the ground.
On the edges of the hollows and the dry roots, there were stubby red hairs. This is the hair unique to first-level blood beasts, and only after they advance to a higher-level blood beast will these blood-red hairs slowly evolve into other colors, or become more ruddy and translucent than they are now.
The girls all stepped forward to check the claw marks or smell left by the blood beast, even Xiao Hei pretended to step forward and held his chin with a pensive face, only Li Chen stood aside with a confused face, not knowing how to distinguish the traces of the blood beast through such things.
"It's a bloody pig!" After careful identification, Shi You said in surprise.
The Bloodhoard is a relatively weak blood beast, and they also move slowly, and some ordinary beasts, such as tigers, wolves, and other carnivores, can even hunt them.
For the girls, it was naturally the best result to encounter this kind of blood beast with weak attack ability and slow moving speed, and they actually didn't want to really let Li Chen defend against the dangerous blood beast alone.
"What is a blood pig?" Although Li Chen roughly knew that this kind of blood beast was not dangerous, he still asked Shi Xinlan, who had already stood on guard.
"The blood pig is a kind of scaly omnivorous blood beast, the first-level blood pig has no special attack means, it is slow to react, it can only attack with its claws, and it lives by devouring various insects, as long as it is a more flexible animal, it can easily avoid their attacks!" Shi Xinlan blushed and answered Li Chen's question as if she was endorsing.
Li Chen looked at the group of girls who were gathered around the roots of the tree with great interest, where is this dangerous blood vine trial, this is simply bringing a group of girls who are about to graduate to come out for on-site internship! And he, Li Chen, is not a teacher, just a bodyguard guarding the eldest ladies.
"Sisters! Let's go! Take down the first Blood Beast of the Trial! Shi You walked to the front of the line under Li Chen's gaze, and now all she needed to complete was to track down the blood pig.
The western stone villages are already good at identifying and tracking blood beasts, and compared with the other major stone villages, their biggest advantage is that they can find blood beasts that are relatively easy to deal with, and they don't have to go head-to-head with really powerful blood beasts.
However, they also have to take down the first blood beast as soon as possible, compared to the demon clan, the tracking ability of the Ishimura clan is already slightly inferior, and their team has been delayed for a day, if they don't take action, I'm afraid they will be left far behind by the demon clan, so that they can take the lead!
