Bai Yuanxing

Gray lead clouds obscured most of the light, and even at noon, the world was not so bright.

The hills and cliffs that have not yet weathered into sand sit on this desertified land with a thin and dejected posture, like the wrinkles on the faces of the elderly.

The wind blew, the yellow sand flew, and the remaining shrubs and vegetation were scattered scattered across the land.

It's hard to believe that five years ago it was a lush, bird-singing tourist attraction.

There was a dead silence in the harsh environment, with little trace of biological activity.

However, this is only the appearance, and the creatures that have survived until now prefer to be good at stealth and lurk.

Near the steep rock wall, there was a steel cage lying alone on the ground, and a giant wild rat more than a meter long was stuffed inside, falling into a deep sleep.

The essence applied to it is volatilizing with a strong smell that travels along the air and spreads to other places.

After about half an hour, a predator was finally lured in this direction.

The sand and gravel are tumbling and flying, and the trees are crushed and bursting, which can be described as huge.

But judging by the Predator's expansion, that's a no-brainer.

"The scientific name is the stinging snake, five zhang long, the adult body weighs more than ten tons, has a strong carapace on the outside, four thousand strong muscles inside, has sickle-shaped forelimbs on both sides of the body, likes cold and damp environments, and is brutal and bloodthirsty by nature... Danger level C! ”

Seeing the motionless giant wild mouse in front of him, the stinging snake stared suspiciously at it with its yellow vertical pupils for a long time, and finally couldn't resist the temptation to coil the iron cage in the middle and let out a tentative hiss.

The sharp sound woke up the sleeping wild rat, causing all the dull hairs on its body to stand on end.

The existential crisis caused the wild mouse to burst out of all its potential and crashed into the doorway at the front of the iron cage in a frenzy.

The cage, which was already unstable, was knocked open, and the wild rat that had escaped the first layer of restraint jumped onto the body of the stinging snake and ran wildly outside.

Seeing that the prey was still alive, the stinging snake's vigilance suddenly dropped a lot, and he also let the wild mouse roll over his body, but that's all.

Just when the wild mouse thought it was alive, the stinging snake suddenly moved!

The dense tendons of the whole body expanded one after another, and the stinging snake twisted its body and shot fiercely at the wild rat.

Without any accidents, the blood basin directly grabbed the weak prey and chewed it vigorously.

A terrible scream came to an abrupt end, and the whole wild mouse was swallowed by the stinging snake, and the only trace left was the warm blood splattered on the ground.

After a full meal, the stinging snake swam to the place where the iron cage was, and its sickle-like forelimbs slashed out, causing a burst of cold light.

When it stopped, the cage was broken into dozens of parts, and the smooth cuts in the steel bars showed the sharpness of the previous attack.

Although he didn't notice anything wrong, the stinging snake swept the ground with its tail, destroying everything in a mess, and then left contentedly.

Qin Ming, who was lurking in the distance, silently watched and observed all this through the glasses in his hand.

After the stinging snake disappeared around the corner of the cliff, he lifted the camouflage sackcloth prop on his body and stood up, and hung the mechanical longbow next to him on his back.

A giant wild mouse was specially caught and placed not far from the nest of the stinging snake, but it was not for the other party to eat.

Qin Ming lowered his body's center of gravity, bent his knees to his legs to accumulate strength, and the next moment the ground was splashed with mud and sand, and the whole person rushed out like a cheetah!

As he galloped, a strong wind swept in his face, making his cloak rattle.

After crossing the two-kilometer distance, he did not follow the path where the stinging snake had left, but ran straight to the side of the rock wall, stepping on the rocks and jumping to the heights.

Even though the terrain behind him was steep and thrilling, he did not slow down, but mobilized the muscles of his whole body and continued to climb with unimaginable speed for ordinary people.

Without any pauses, he is like a high-intensity precision machine, completing the mission to the summit without any mistakes.

Above the rock face was a relatively flat winding path that he followed to the other end.

Compared to ground tracking, the road above the rock face can be said to be a shortcut, and at the same time, it is safer without worrying about being detected by the sensitive stinging snake.

Just as they were about to arrive at their intended location, they heard a deafening rumbling sound and the painful screams of a stinging snake.

This situation did not surprise Qin Ming, after all, the medicine sacs he stuffed into the body of the wild mouse were all highly poisonous.

Although it can't directly poison the stinging snake, it is enough to make the other party feel pain for a short time.

The vibration was transmitted on the rock wall, and the momentum spread to the top.

Despite being aware of this, Qin Ming did not poke his head out rashly, but took out a shark knife from the leather bag, using the smooth and bright blade as a mirror to observe the situation of the stinging snake.

The terrifying-looking stinging snake was slamming madly against the rock wall, turning around from time to time, rolling from side to side like hemp rope, striking the ground to relieve the pain of the drug attack.

The effect of the new formula was better than expected, and the stinging snake continued to make noise for more than half an hour, plowing almost all the nearby areas of hundreds of meters before gradually getting rid of the effect.

However, at this time, the scale armor of the stinging snake fell off in many places, the flesh and blood were blurred, and the embarrassed appearance was completely different from the previous majestic appearance.

Whew-

The stinging snake panted with its head down, making a sound similar to that of a bellows in a forge room.

The exhaustion of its body made it not even want to express its anger, and it shook its body to swim back to its lair, which was already very close.

The stinging snake is an extremely resilient creature, and it only takes about half a day to recover from external injuries.

Therefore, Qin Ming directly crossed the quiver flat across his waist and took out the mechanical longbow behind his back, it was impossible for him to let the other party enter the nest safely to cultivate.

Stretch out your hand to feel the wind force and direction at this time, and put all kinds of parameters into your mind to calculate......

He took a deep breath and pulled the black arrow of the new alloy from the quiver, placing it on the bowstring and pulling it smoothly to the limit.

In fact, this mechanical longbow is actually a strengthened version of the equipment, which is higher than the military standard, but Qin Ming's weightlifting movements are easy to ignore this fact.

Sou!

The arrow tore through the air in an instant, shooting straight at the stinging snake.

Before the stinging snake could bow its head, a high-speed spiral arrow drilled through the carapace of its head and pierced deep into it.

This unusually huge force even threw the triangular head of the stinging snake to the other side, and dark green blood shot out from the wound.

Before the stinging snake could turn back and let out an angry scream, the second and third arrows had already shot down condescendingly, piercing into the wound they had inflicted.

The continuous arrows made the stinging snake passively defend through the forelimbs of the scythe, and between the sparks bursting and splashing, arrows were constantly cut down.

The sound of breaking the air finally stopped, and the stinging snake raised its head, taking a closer look at its foe.

Qin Ming tore off his cloak with one hand, even though the black combat uniform was looser, he could still vaguely see his fierce body.

He tossed unrelated objects such as empty quivers, mechanical longbows, and backpacks onto the ground in the distance.

Under the cold gaze of the stinging snake, he drew the black-bladed war knife at his waist and pointed it at the other party from a high place.

The height difference of tens of meters could not isolate the hostility between the two sides, and the atmosphere became solemn in an instant!

Airplanes!

Qin Ming didn't intend to give the enemy a chance to rest, and the whole person jumped out from above, like a falling rock smashing to the ground.

The stinging snake snaked backwards, and the carapace bone plates on its back automatically lifted one after another, shooting countless armor-piercing spinal needles upwards.

Each two-inch-long piercing spine needle is enough to pierce a 2-centimeter-thick special steel plate, and if it falls on a human flesh and blood, the consequences can be imagined.

This is the strongest means of the stinging snake against birds, and the characteristics of ultra-light coverage.

Qin Ming who fell had nowhere to hide, but he was not weak-hearted, the black-bladed battle knife accurately slashed the attacking armor-piercing spine needle, and with the power of the counterattack, he flipped to avoid the follow-up attack.

Superb skill, fearless courage, and easy body skills all show his strength, and also make the stinging snake feel a strong threat.

But fighting has broken out, and unless one side falls, there is no reason to back down.

As a member of the Zerg, the stinging snake knew this rule very well, so he fiercely and fiercely rushed towards Qin Ming, who had already landed.

Qin Ming suddenly dodged the train-like collision, and at the same time as the rock wall behind him burst, he seized the opportunity, and with an indomitable momentum, he swung his knife and slashed at the body of the stabbing snake.

The stiff and sharp blade rubbed against the scale armor, making a sharp and piercing sound, and finally cut into the body of the stinging snake through the gap, tearing an extremely long gap!

The pain-biting snake turned around and followed closely behind Qin Ming, and the forelimbs of the sickle continued to slash at the latter.

Bell Bell Bell !!

The sound of the gold and stone clashing was endless, and the two swordsmen engaged in a fierce fight, and the frenzied air flow overflowed in all directions.

Unexpectedly, Qin Ming, who was small in size, did not fall behind in terms of strength, but fought on a par with the stinging snake.

The rapid speed made the other attacks of the stinging snake miss, and a lot of strength was consumed out of thin air.

The melee fight lasted for half an hour, and the long-term inability to attack made the wounded creature become impatient, and he directly opened his bloody mouth and bit towards Qin Ming.

As an excellent predator, its serrated upper and lower jaws are very sharp, and with its strong bite force, it can easily bite through the organic tissues, bones, and even new alloy steels of other creatures.

Qin Ming suddenly jumped back to the ground, and he avoided this ferocious blow, the flesh and blood he possessed, after all, could not match the other party's Zerg structure in an ordinary state.

Bang!

The burst of rubble splashed everywhere, the smoke and dust billowed up, and even if it was poisoned and sneak attacked, the stinging snake still showed terrifying strength.

The stinging snake did not continue to pursue, and Qin Ming, who retreated to the distance, was more engrossed in guarding.

The stinging snake hissed unpleasantly, and its scaly body was dripping with dark green liquid, and its state was not as good as before, but the aura on its body was even more crazy and dangerous, and then launched an attack with all its strength.

The surrounding environment became extremely quiet, and Qin Ming's eyes were only left with enemies like chariots rushing over.

A trace of cold and penetrating power rose from his body, and quickly spread to all his limbs, and the density of all muscles and bones quickly increased, becoming as hard as iron.

Rumble!

The ground collapsed and burst, and Qin Ming, who had turned from extremely static to extremely moving, turned into a black light that was difficult to catch with the naked eye, and shot at the stinging snake with a more ferocious attitude!

The two sides, who do not give in to each other, meet in the central zone, and staggered in the moment when the light suddenly dims.

A grand blood flower exploded, and the stinging snake looked down at its body, a huge hole where he could see the scene behind him.

It wants to keep fighting and tear this abominable humanity apart once and for all.

However, at the moment when it turned around, dozens of knife wounds cracked open on its body, and blood sprayed like rain.

The stinging snake, which was rapidly depleting of vitality, only had time to let out a wail and slammed into the ground, setting off a strong vibration.

The executioner who had completed the hunt was holding a war knife and standing indifferently dozens of meters away, still with a faint killing intent around him.
