Chapter 22: A Squad of Four
"Squeak, squeak."
At this time, the golden-eyed rat suddenly stood up, its two front paws dancing excitedly in the air, pointing to a certain place in the distance and squeaking.
"Uh, what is this little guy talking about?" Xiao Ning was stunned, he didn't expect this golden-eyed rat's intelligence and expression ability to be so high.
Oxfam leaned down, listened carefully to the voice of the golden-eyed mouse, and then stroked the hair in front of his forehead, and said to Xiao Ning, who was looking forward to it,
"Ash said that there was something in front of him that exuded source power, as if it was some kind of fruit that was about to ripen."
"Oh? It's true? "Xiao Ning had long heard of the Golden Pupil Rat's ability to find things with strong source power, and the first time he saw it today, it really deserved its reputation.
"But," Oxfam hesitated, "Ash also said that there were two powerful monsters next to the fruit. ”
"Well, there's only one now." The golden-eyed rat saw Oxfam's hesitation, squeaked anxiously, and hurriedly made another gesture.
"Those two demon beasts fought for the fruit that was about to ripen, and as a result, one died, and the other was seriously injured." After Oxfam said what the golden pupil rat was trying to express, he looked at Xiao Ning and said, "You say, should we go and see?" ”
Because the root of demon beasts and human combatants is the source power, there will definitely be a situation where you will fight for each other. In this wild forest, most of the demon beasts are in a strong instinct, and they have the ability to sense the fruit of the source force.
Therefore, Xiao Ning was not surprised that a demon beast would appear next to the Source Force Fruit.
It's just that what he's worried about is how thick the concentration of that source force fruit is, and how strong the seriously injured demon beast is, which has to be considered in advance.
"Xiao Ash said, the concentration of source power emitted by those few source power fruits is not very strong, and it is estimated that it can only attract second- or third-level demon beasts." Oxfam was also worried, but fortunately, at this time, the golden-eyed rat sensed most of the information in front of him, and said, "Xiao Ning, do you think we are going to take a risk?" ”
Oxfam is just a beast master, her biggest reliance is her beast pet, if you talk about her own combat effectiveness, she is only a little stronger than ordinary girls. If Xiao Ning was not willing to take the risk, she would definitely not dare to go.
"Let's go check it out." Xiao Ning said, "If the strength of that demon beast is too strong, or if there are other changes, we will leave immediately." ”
"Hmm!"
Under the leadership of the golden-eyed rat, Xiao Ning and Oxfam carefully walked through the dense forest, and after walking for about half an hour, the scenery in front of them suddenly changed, and the front was no longer a dense forest and vines, but a huge clearing.
There were two monsters lying in the clearing, one was a lifeless golden retriever tiger, and the other was a big rhinoceros lying on the ground panting.
And next to the two demon beasts, there was a half-meter-tall plant, and at the top of the plant there were five or six delicate red fruits that exuded rich source power.
"Squeak, squeak!" After the golden-eyed rat saw those red fruits, he immediately jumped up excitedly.
The rhinoceros lying on the ground next to him sensed Xiao Ning and the others, and struggled to get up from the ground, staring at Xiao Ning with a pair of bull's eyes, as if warning Xiao Ning not to pay attention to the red fruits.
"Golden Haired Colorful Tiger..."Xiao Ning glanced at the tiger that had been dead for a long time, it turned out to be the Golden Retrieved Colorful Tiger, this kind of tiger is the king of the first-level demon beasts, and its strength is not inferior even in the face of the second-level demon beasts, but he didn't expect to die in the hands of the big rhinoceros in front of him.
This big guy may be about to break through to the third level. Xiao Ning stared at the big rhinoceros and found that its desire for red fruits was extremely strong, perhaps these fruits were the opportunity for it to rise to the third level of demon beasts.
"Xiao Ning, that big stupid cow seems to be injured." Oxfam walked up to Xiao Ning and whispered, "This may be our chance." ”
"Hmm." Xiao Ning nodded, indeed, if the big rhinoceros was overturned, then five or six red source power fruits, the corpse of the dead golden retriever tiger and the big rhinoceros would all belong to them.
Taking a step forward, when Xiao Ning was about to make a move, he suddenly sensed an extremely dangerous aura!
Hide!
Xiao Ning was a spirit, and in an instant, he hid to the side.
Shout!
A black iron arrow pierced the air, slashing through Xiao Ning's ears, Xiao Ning's back was already frightened into a cold sweat, if he hadn't reacted sensitively just now, he would have been shot through his throat by this iron arrow!
"Huh? The reaction was not bad, and he dodged the arrow. ”
In the darkness at the edge of the clearing, footsteps sounded, and then four people walked out under Xiao Ning's angry gaze.
A burly man with a big sword, a busty woman with a riot, and two young men with daggers in their hands.
"Huh? This little guy is so good-looking, I like it. The plump woman's eyes lit up when she saw Xiao Ning, her scarlet tongue licked her lips, and her eyes were full of possessive ** when she looked at Xiao Ning.
The anger in Xiao Ning's eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by a thick vigilance, and put the long knife into the scabbard, Xiao Ning took a few steps back.
The strength of these people in front of him is quite powerful, he can't even see the strength of the man and woman with the big sword, and the two young men with daggers also have at least second-level strength!
As for the plump woman's evaluation of Xiao Ning, Xiao Ning thought she was farting!
It was this woman who shot him with an arrow just now.
"Haha, Sister Hong, that kid doesn't seem to appreciate your kindness." A young man played with the dagger in his hand, looked at Xiao Ning and said, "Do you want me to help you train and train, brother?" ”
"No, the old lady's prey doesn't need you to interfere." The plump woman smiled on her fat face, "The old lady likes to train those young hairy boys herself." ”
"Haha, Sister Hong, we know how good you are! But the kid on the other side looks skinny, I'm afraid you'll have to play for a few days. ”
There were bursts of foul language on the opposite side, and Xiao Ning's face turned slightly pale.
It's not scared, it's angry.
"It's all right!" At this time, the silent sword-carrying man shouted angrily, "Play for a while, then play, now do the right thing first." ”
"Boy, this golden tiger, green-skinned rhinoceros and red berries are ours." The big man with the sword on his back swept Xiao Ning coldly, "We have to deal with the loot now, you guys hurry up!" ”
"That's what we found out first." Oxfam said aggrievedly, "You guys are robbing!" ”
"Get out!" The big man with the sword on his back glared, and a coercion struck out of thin air.
"Let's go!" Xiao Ning didn't say a word, and pulled Oxfam and left.
"But Xiao Ning, we, this is what we found out first, why..."
"Let's go!" Xiao Ning forcibly dragged Oxfam away.
Xiao Ning in front of him is not the opponent of the four people opposite, if he reasoned with them here, I am afraid that even his life will be threatened.
However, before leaving, Xiao Ning deliberately exposed the blade of the alloy long knife.
The alloy knife is extremely sharp, and it is not easy to cast, and the price in the market is also high, so it can be said that the value of the alloy knife is not lower than the value of a second-level demon beast.
"Leather monkey, go follow that kid." After Xiao Ning and Oxfam disappeared into the dense forest, they carried their swords and said to the big man.
"Boss, what are you doing with that kid?" The young man with the dagger, nicknamed Leather Monkey, couldn't help but be stunned.
"That kid has an alloy weapon on him, and if he gets it back, he can sell it for a lot of money." The big man with the sword on his back said inquisitively, "This deep mountain and dense forest, if that kid dares to resist, you will kill him on the spot." ”
"Okay then." The monkey hesitated for a moment and said, "However, you can give me one of the red berries first." ”
The big man with the sword on his back cursed secretly, picked a source power fruit from the plant and threw it to the skin monkey.
"Actually, boss, I care more about the beautiful girl in the green dress next to him than that kid's alloy weapon." The leather monkey grinned as he received the source power fruit into the package.
The yellow teeth of the leather monkey, in the sun, are slightly hideous.
