Chapter 309: The Long Whip Breaks the ...... of the Empty Wheel
The long whip breaks through the air and treads the snow without a trace, and the steep ice cliffs are like walking on the ground.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As they left the Radiant Moon Forest and continued north, Twilight thought about it for a long time before finally deciding to let Broken Blade go with them, but it was clear that it would be difficult for them to ensure that they would not starve to death in this icy environment, so everyone agreed on one issue, and that was to let Broken Blade solve the problem of food on his own.
Then, since Brokenblade first left to look for food, he never returned. Whether it is dead or lost, it can be said that it is normal to completely disappear in such an environment where vision is severely blocked, and everyone has not thought of throwing it here directly, so they have not looked for it.
Twilight, Suhui and Xinglan never thought that they would see this plains stalker again, except for Xinglan, it was almost impossible to meet up with others in the snowfield of the Northern Yuan Continent again, but what no one expected was that after walking a short distance along this frozen waterfall, they would see it again.
The tall Plains Stalker is hissing angrily, and its several pairs of feet are made for fast running on the plains, but it is just as good as maintaining its balance even in the snow. Its large body greatly reduces the possibility of being stuck in the snow and unable to move, and the thick carapace also effectively blocks the cold.
However, its opponent at this time was clearly more adapted to the snow than it was, a creature they had never seen before. There were five strange creatures confronting Broken Blade, the size of a wolf, with four legs resembling the limbs of a mammal, but at the bottom were significantly wider feet. Obviously, the large underfoot of the foot can greatly reduce the squeezing effect of their weight on the snow, so that they can step on the snow completely without worrying about sagging. Of course, this is not the strangest thing, the creature has a disc-shaped tissue protruding upwards from its back, and from all sides of it are six slender limbs...... Not hands and feet, but slender whips. When these elongated whips hang down the sides of the body, they can be seen ending with a sturdy-looking sharp section, showing the pale of the bones.
When several of the creatures turned their bodies, they discovered even more striking facts, as they also had a pair of eyes behind the disc on their backs, and they could even focus on the direction of the front and back at the same time.
This is the whip wheel, a gregarious predator in the ice and snow world of the Northern Yuan Continent.
The Broken Blade was backed by a huge ice barrier, not only the two pairs of huge bladed limbs, but even the other pairs of smaller appendages were obviously in full force, this scene did look very powerful, coupled with the huge difference in size, these whip wheels did not dare to attack rashly, they cautiously walked back and forth in a semicircular path, blocking the plain stalker several meters tall next to the frozen waterfall.
As Twilight and the others begin to approach, they see one of the whip wheels attacking. It was walking in a semi-circular path and leaped high without warning, then glided forward quickly on the snow...... It's like ice skating, but it's more graceful and agile, and it rushes to the leg of the broken blade in a short time. Without seeing its body writhe or anything like that, the disc-shaped protrusion above its back spun violently, driving six slender whips to quickly draw towards the Broken Blade's air sac, and it seemed that they had keenly identified the Broken Blade's biggest weakness at this time.
The whistling whip pierced the air with a high-pitched sound, similar to the tail-flicking attack used by some large herbivore, only it came faster and more suddenly, but no one doubted the power of the whips when they slammed into the airbags.
Broken Blade was naturally not willing to use his body to verify this.
It quickly held the pair of massive blades in front of its body, and when the six slender whips slapped against the blades that were now being used as shields, they made a dull impact and were bounced back, but the sharp blades were dented.
The whipwheel's attack was blocked, and it quickly slid backwards, but the appendage of the broken blade moved, and the agility that was completely invisible on the outside quickly cut to the whipwheel. In a life-and-death moment, the whip wheel flung out one of the slender whips, and avoided the lethal blow with its impact with the severed appendage, but two of the slender whips were cut in half by the blow.
The blinding red blood splattered out at once, the whip wheel retreated with a wail, and the two broken limbs were like snakes that had been cut in half, still with instinctive muscle movements, falling to the ground and twitching continuously, and being trampled hard by the broken blade before gradually moving away.
The blades of the Broken Blade were clearly visible from these slender whips...... Seeing this scene, they immediately understood how the deep visible scar on the leg of the moon praying man came from, unless it was a hard and thick carapace, how could an ordinary flesh and blood body withstand this kind of attack? This defeat made the other whip wheels afraid to move forward in horror, but the strange thing was that they didn't seem to be intending to attack Broken Blade, as they seemed to try to get around where Broken Blade was every time they stepped forward, but they were always actively blocked by Broken Blade.
As the distance approached, it seemed that Broken Blade had finally noticed their approach, and it shook its head, looking a little dazed, but when Twilight came to the upper wind...... Just as it could almost be smelled, the plains stalker, several meters high, let out a short, strange chirp and then ran at the scene.
Yes, it had been holding on for so long, but after confirming Twilight's location, it didn't hesitate to abandon its defensive stance and rush straight to this side. This startled the whip wheels, who were still cautiously keeping a safe distance, and in their panic they even tried to intercept the plains stalker...... It was not for nothing that the Plains Stalker was called a heavy land tank, and one of the whip wheels met the pair of sharp blades head-on, tearing open its belly before it could let out a single wail.
Although it has that kind of protruding wheel-like organ on its back, and even eyes on the front and back to look at, it is obvious that the internal organs of the whip wheel are still basic internal organs, and the whip wheel that has been cut open to the abdomen falls to the ground and wails in pain, and even a piece of intestine-like thing can be seen falling from its stomach to the snow, obviously this guy will not survive. However, no one paid any attention to the dying whip wheel, and what shocked everyone was what was revealed after the broken blade left...... It was a dark and deep rift, and it was a narrow opening in this frozen waterfall, and it was the entrance to an ice cave, too narrow for the plains hunters to pass through, but the Moon Prayer was more than enough to pass through, and the whip wheel could enter from here.
Obviously, this is where Broken Blade was defending before.
Interestingly, the remaining whip wheels apparently sensed the presence of Twilight and the others, and their malicious gazes quickly looked over, and they even gave up their original attachment to the ice cave and tried to get closer. However, Broken Blade sprints almost at full speed to Twilight's side, turning around and making an attacking stance...... This action caused the group of whips, who had been killed and wounded, to fall into a riot again. They watched from afar, weighing the benefits and risks, hesitating to hold on.
The whip wheel let out a terrifying howl like a wolf's howl, and the Broken Blade responded with some kind of equally menacing hiss, and after a few minutes of confrontation with each other, the whip wheel group finally felt that the prey was too tricky and chose to give up. The disemboweled, disemboweled, was now completely dead in the cold temperature, and they retreated, gathered around the corpse of their dead companion, who still had a trace of warmth, and began to eat the corpse together, and soon ate the flesh and blood clean.
They don't care about this kind of thing, and the dead corpse is no longer a companion, but a food to be cherished, and this seemingly ruthless approach is actually the most appropriate thing to do in this environment.
After the meal, the whip wheels walked to the edge of the frozen waterfall, and under the surprised gaze of Twilight and the others, the slender whips on their backs ...... Apparently driven by strong muscles, it jerked up, and then the hard bone spurs at the tip stabbed hard into the ice of the waterfall. Unlike Twilight and Halo, Xinglan could clearly see that the originally sharp bone spurs had pierced into the ice and stretched out a few sections of their originally contracted parts, like an anchor firmly stuck inside the ice. When the six whips are completely pierced into the ice, the body of the whip wheel is completely reversed. They tightened their original feet and curled up into a ball, while the six whips on their backs seemed to have become new hands and feet, repeating the action of inserting and pulling out, always keeping more than four of them fixed in the ice.
Although not too fast, the three whip wheels did climb the steep icefall that the Moon Prayers couldn't climb at all, except for one whip wheel...... It was the one that had two whips cut off by the broken blade, and with only four whips intact, it was apparently unable to make this climb again, and it could only watch as its companion left upwards, and finally whimpered and walked along the icefall.
Twilight and Glowlight watched as the last whip wheel disappeared from sight, and Twilight sighed with envy, "If only we could have crossed this icefall so easily, what now?" ”
"Are you going to have a pair of eyes on your back, too?" Xinglan smiled amusedly, then looked thoughtfully at the exposed ice cave, "Why is it staying there while those monsters are going in?" ”
"Smell ......" Suhui suddenly spoke, and he looked next to Twilight...... Probably the coquettish Broken Blade looked at the ice cave again, "Once it leaves us, the only way to find us again is to track the scent, but it is obviously faster to reach this ice cave." ”
"What do you mean......" Twilight gasped as she understood what Suhui meant, and at the same time shocked by the meaning of the words, "Although it followed all the way, it was confused because ......"
"At the entrance of this ice cave, there is a smell very similar to ours!"
