Chapter 14: The Art of Tracking
The night was as silent as stagnant water, and the silvery moonlight shone on the ground. None of the grass or trees are as realistic as in the daytime, they all have vague and illusory colors.
In a jungle, five figures are prostrate under a large tree. According to information from the Twilight Tavern, this area is visited by broodmother spiders whenever night falls. Xiao Yi and the five people are also waiting quietly here.
Suddenly, a burst of blue light lit up from the ground, and a "squeak" sound kept coming. The crowd winked at each other, then stared at where the blue light came from.
A huge figure with eight claws emerges from the crypt and stays underneath for a long time, and the broodmother spider also needs to come out to breathe.
Seeing the target appear, Cui Renming urged the true qi in his body and silently recited a few strange spells. A shining star suddenly came out of its mouth and flew towards the broodmother spider, instantly attaching itself to the broodmother spider.
Everyone rushed up, Xiao Yi's Thunder King Fist, Lisel's Venom Ball, Yu Xingzhe's sword light, Lin Sen's crazy growth, including Cui Renming, also threw several punches one after another.
The broodmother spider was angry and spit out several large webs to cover everyone's webs, Xiao Yi escaped in time, Cui Renming also escaped in time, Yu Xingzhe looked bad and quickly flashed to the side, leaving Lisel and Lin Sen bound in the web.
But everyone's attack has already hit the broodmother spider, only to see a few loud "bangs", and the broodmother spider is seriously injured. "Squeak" a few roars, and the broodmother summoned her own child spider. The tide of sub-spiders poured towards the crowd, and the broodmother spider took the opportunity to shrink her whole body into a sphere, rolling away on the web, and her body disappeared in an instant.
At this tense moment, Cui Renming and Yu Xingzhe came to Lin Sen and Lisser's side respectively to rescue them from the weaving net. Lisel's balls of venom were scattered into the swarm of sub-spiders, and a large number of sub-spiders fell to the ground, "squeaking" and wailing.
The broodmother spider not far away was staring at Xiao Yi with hateful eyes and approaching quietly. Xiao Yi hit it the most, and what it wanted to eat the most was Xiao Yi.
At this time, Xiao Yi was dealing with a lot of small spiders, and the Thunder King Fist kept bombarding, killing groups and groups coming up, as if they couldn't finish killing them.
When she was only a hundred meters away from Xiao Yi, the broodmother spider suddenly lifted her belly up, and her butt was aimed at Xiao Yi and she was about to shoot her eggs. Xiao Yi suddenly turned around and slammed the long-accumulated Thunder King Fist into the broodmother spider. Because the distance was too close and the incident happened suddenly, before he could react, Xiao Yi's Thunder King Fist had already hit the broodmother spider.
When she was dying, the broodmother spider's scarlet eyes flickered in confusion, unable to figure out how Xiao Yi had discovered it. It is still quite confident in its concealment skills, and no enemy has ever been able to detect it.
Tear and pull!
As soon as the broodmother spider died, a large number of child spiders also fled, and everyone chased and killed them all the way. This time, although only one broodmother spider was killed, the child spider killed thousands. Each sub-spider has 10 contribution points, and the broodmother spider has 1,000 contribution points, so that there are more than 10,000 contribution points.
Everyone counted the whole audience and walked happily towards the Dusk Tavern, ready to redeem the prize. Along the way, everyone talked happily and loudly.
"Captain, how did you find the broodmother spider just now, isn't it invisible?"
"Yes, it's a good thing you killed the broodmother in time, otherwise I don't know how many spiders it would have to summon. As if they couldn't kill the whole spider, they came in droves. ”
"Then you have to ask Cui Renming, this is his natural ability. Xiao Yi sold a pass and did not answer everyone directly.
"Cui Renming, what did you do?" Lisel asked with a smile, his previous doubts swept away, and even a little flattering, "How can even the stealthy broodmother spider be marked?"
Cui Renming walked out with his head held high under the attention of everyone, and said leisurely:
"Haha, this is our unique tracking technique for the Gondor, we track down an enemy and attach our five-star mark to them. Even if the other party runs to the ends of the earth, we can track it down, just now, I passed on the special aura of this mark to Brother Xiao Yi in advance. Then Brother Xiao Yi pretended not to find the broodmother spider, and killed it in one fell swoop when it approached. ”
"Cui Renming, that's amazing! If your enemy is worried about you, I guess I won't be able to sleep. Lin Sen laughed.
Cui Renming was even happier, Lisel and Yu Xingzhe had nothing to say, others also had their own special abilities, and they were quite effective at critical moments.
The killing task of the ten broodmother spiders was completed in ten days, and a total of 120,000 contribution points were obtained, and each person received an average score of more than 20,000.
Xiao Yi looked at the contribution points in his hands now - about 40,000, which is still a long way from 1 million. But Xiao Yi did not lose heart, and believed that according to the current state, it would not be a problem to make up one million.
In the following month, the eighth-level tasks Xiao Yi and they kept one after another. Monsters such as broodmother spiders, crypt ko-headed beasts, pan-mountain black-armored beasts, and eight-armed orangutans were hunted and killed by Xiao Yi and them, and everyone made a lot of money, and they were all promoted to eight-star hunters.
Everyone ambitiously plans to take on the ninth-level task in the next stage, which will of course earn more, but the difficulty will also be greater, and it will increase exponentially.
For example, Yu Xingzhe is the only one in Xiao Yi's team who is in the Ninefold Realm of True Qi, and the objects of the ninth-level tasks of hunting demon beasts are all ninth-level demon beasts. Those ninth-level demon beasts were a little stronger than the average True Qi Ninefold Master, and many of them also had some anti-heaven talents. Therefore, the difficulty of the ninth level task and the eighth level task is not at the same level at all.
Early morning.
The mountains are shrouded in a milky white mist, and all living things seem to be in a fairyland.
Mist Swallowing Python, a ninth-level demon beast. It has a long, rounded body like a python and eight sharp wolf claws. The speed, strength, and defense are all amazing, and it is difficult to compare with the average True Qi Ninefold Master, and it also has a special ability to instantly spew out the devouring fog to confuse the enemy and use it to escape. The fog-swallowing python likes the early morning at this moment, as if drunk, devouring and enjoying the white fog.
Cui Renming ran his true qi like last time, silently recited a spell, spit out a shining star, and quickly flew towards the fog-swallowing python that was devouring the mist, the python did not notice the change, and was still intoxicated with enjoyment.
Poisons such as incense powder drunk are ineffective against the Mist Swallowing Python, and the Mist Swallowing Python itself is invulnerable, so everyone has to launch a strong attack.
Boom!
The strength of the fist and the light of the sword tore through the silence of the morning, and they all slammed into the strong body of the Mist Swallowing Python. But its defense is very strong, and the many attacks only leave some flesh wounds on its body, and it doesn't hurt its muscles and bones at all, and even the blood doesn't drip much. If it had been a crypt kobold, the battle would have been over long ago.
The Mist Swallowing Python roared angrily and jumped towards the nearest Xiao Yi, its strength was strong, and it only trapped him for a moment for Lin Sen's crazy growth, and it broke free in a few breaths.
Xiao Yi's true meaning of water has already been opened, and the giant python's pair of claws comparable to divine soldiers could not break through Xiao Yi's protection, but was shaken open by Xiao Yi's punch.
Everyone came up one after another to surround and attack it, and the fog-swallowing python saw that the situation was not good, and spit out a large area of thick fog. Suddenly, the entire jungle was filled with a white mist, and it was difficult to distinguish between everyone when they were close to them. The giant python took advantage of this opportunity and ran wildly.
But Cui Renming had already marked the giant python before, and passed the breath to everyone to know, and everyone followed the breath all the way. The python rushed forward like lightning, and at this important juncture of life and death, its own potential was also stimulated, and the speed was faster and faster.
In the process of stalemate, everyone gradually couldn't catch up, and was thrown farther and farther away by the giant python, only Xiao Yi, Cui Renming and Yu Xingzhe barely followed.
Xiao Yi saw that the situation was not good, so he sneaked in front of the giant python, and suddenly rushed out from under and knocked down the giant python with one punch. Everyone rushed up, and all kinds of attacks hit the giant python.
No matter how strong the body is, after withstanding a stormy attack, the aura of the giant python with blurred flesh and blood gradually weakens.
Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief and was about to give the giant python the final blow, a storm several meters high hit everyone, and the violent force tore all around. Everyone was startled and ducked to the side.
Hiss!
An arrogant sword slashed at the giant python. The knife rose and fell, and at the same time, a majestic figure put away the body of the giant python and put it into his space ring, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
"Hahaha, Brother Yi, Brother Ming, I'm sorry, we also took this order. Liu Xingyu's heroic voice came from a distance.
"What do you mean, robbing our demon beast?" Xiao Yi was still stunned on the spot. But the figures come and go as quickly as they come.
"I've worked so hard for so long, and I've made a wedding dress for someone else! Damn, what kind of person is this, we have to snatch it back. Yu Xingzhe said indignantly, unconvinced.
"No matter how you rob it, people have already run away. Lisel's face could not hide the disappointment in his heart, the duck in his hand flew, and no one felt good.
"Who is he, do you know him?" Lin Sen asked curiously.
"Well, we know, we're still friends, and we've had a few fights. He said that when he got here, we were opponents, but I didn't expect him to really grab my head. Xiao Yi smiled slightly, and now he felt that it was a bit interesting to do this bounty task.
"How he got here, silently, we didn't see anyone else. Lin Sen asked puzzled.
"This is one of his special skills - Wind Walk, when used, not only stealth, but also increases a certain movement speed, and if you suddenly attack in stealth, it will also give great power. Just now, he came invisible, and then took advantage of our inattention, killed the python, and then used the wind to escape. Xiao Yi slowly explained to everyone that he had fought several games with Liu Xingyu, and he was still very familiar with his housekeeping skills.
"After that, he doesn't have to fight the demon beast, just wait for us to seriously injure the demon beast and then give the demon beast the final blow. Lisel said with a depressed face.
"Who said that, he grabbed it once, but he couldn't grab it a second time. Besides, if he robs us, we can rob him. Cui Renming, who hadn't spoken for a long time, spoke mysteriously.
"Don't you ......?"
