Chapter 401: The Hedgehog
After a few months, Ling Tao and they went to Zhoujia Village, which was almost isolated from the world, the original path was completely gone, and the dense grasses, thorns, old vines, branches, and various mutated insects and beasts that appeared in the jungle from time to time along the way made it difficult for them to move forward. (Baidu search update is the fastest and most stable)
Fortunately, their group of more than ten people is no longer the kind of 'weak and can't help the wind' at the beginning, and within a few dozen meters around, if there is a little wind and grass, they can be found at the first time, plus there are guns in their hands, and they are not the spears and bows and arrows that came out when they came out.
If it was just Ling Tao alone, even if it was such a difficult mountain road, it would not be too difficult to return to Zhoujia Village from the national highway, one step of tens of meters, would not be bothered by the vegetation along the way at all, it could be called flying over, but in order to take care of Zhou Dazhu and them, Ling Tao also had to move slowly with them.
There was no road in the mountains, and they cut a road, but it was very slow, not much faster than when they first came out.
"I remember not far ahead, when we came out, we also encountered a group of wolves, if it wasn't for Mr. Ling who injured his head and scared the wolves back, I am afraid we would not have been able to get out of the mountains at all", walking in the dense grass, Zhou Xiaozhu sighed.
"Don't be distracted, it's much more dangerous now than it was before, pay attention to your surroundings, otherwise you won't know how you will die if you are not careful", Zhou Lin scolded with a smile.
"Cut, Uncle Lin, I'm not the up-and-coming boy I was at the beginning, although I don't dare to compare with Mr. Ling, but, within a few dozen meters, any wind and grass will be discovered by me as soon as possible, and ah, you say, will we surprise them when we go back to the village this time?" Zhou Xiaozhu laughed.
The so-called hometown cowardice, or returning to the hometown, in short. After leaving Zhoujia Village for so long, as the village got closer and closer, everyone, including Zhou Lin, seemed very excited.
than at the beginning. They can be said to have changed shotguns, one by one they are fully armed, and the equipment on their bodies is not known how many times better than the original, and the villagers of Zhoujia Village will definitely be surprised when they see them.
"Attention everyone. There seems to be movement ahead", at this moment, Ling Tao suddenly raised his hand and signaled to everyone.
After Ling Tao's words fell, Zhou Lin reacted quickly, climbed a big tree on the side in a few clicks, and observed ahead, and after a while, he reminded: "Mr. Ling, there is really movement ahead, and it is not small. In the grass, it looks like a very large hedgehog, about eight meters long."
"Hedgehog"? Ling Tao frowned, to be honest, he had never seen this kind of thing with his own eyes, especially the mutated hedgehog.
As we all know, hedgehogs are covered in thorns, and once they curl up their bodies, they are simply a ball of thorns, and they are not easy to deal with no matter what direction they go. And once the other party rushes in front of you, it's scary to think about, and besides, the mutated hedgehog. It definitely can't be compared to the hedgehog of the past, maybe there are some special abilities.
"Well, it's a hedgehog, do you need to shoot it right now?" Zhou Lin in the tree asked.
"If it's in our way, let's kill it, if we can get around. Don't alarm the other party", Ling Tao said in a deep voice, and then reminded everyone: "Pay attention, don't make a mistake at the door of the house at that time."
All the people present were not local peasants who didn't know anything at the beginning, but after 'formal and serious military training', they reacted quickly, either finding a bunker to hide, or occupying favorable terrain, in short, Ling Tao himself was a little embarrassed, he was born in this wild way, and in terms of military quality alone, he was really not as professional as them.
Bang bang bang, after everyone was ready, Zhou Lin on the tree opened fire, bullets poured down, and the sound of sizzling continued, knocking the plants along the way into stems and leaves.......
Dangdang's voice came from ahead, accompanied by a roar, and I don't know if it was anger or pain.
"It's not good, the spikes on that guy's body are as hard as steel, and they are harder than armor on his body, so it's hard to deal with", Zhou Lin, who fired more than ten shots, said with a change in his face.
Before he finished speaking, he jumped down from the tree at once, and at the same time, in the sound of puff, a cold and shining spike flew sideways from the front, and the big tree that Zhou Lin was stunned before was pierced by more than a dozen spikes up to two or three meters long, and the spikes were not only sharp, but also full of strength.
"So terrifying", Zhou Dazhu's face changed.
"It's not good, it's rushing over, if I hadn't dodged quickly, I wouldn't have become a hedgehog now, Mr. Ling, what now?" Zhou Lin rolled around on the ground a few times, hid behind a rock and asked.
Ling Tao's mind turned sharply, and he immediately smiled: "It's not simple, just kill it directly."
The words fell, the flowing water sword was drawn, and his hands danced, and in the sound of a sigh, several spikes flying from the grass were split by him, making a sound of golden strikes.
When he split the spike, Ling Tao's face changed, the strength and speed of the spike flying should not be underestimated, judging from the power of the spike, it was no less than a person whose physical fitness had reached the first order of the warrior to thrust with a spear with all his might.
With a plan in his heart, Ling Tao jumped up in the air, jumped four or five meters high, saw the huge hedgehog rushing over in the grass, untied a grenade on his waist, and threw it directly.
The grenade will not explode at the first time, and it deserves the hedgehog's bad luck, it is covered with spikes one or two meters long, and the grenade dropped on it not only did not bounce out, but fell along the spikes to the place close to the flesh and got stuck.
At this time, Ling Tao had also landed, crawling on the ground, and then there was a loud bang in front of him, and then the sound of hissing continued to sound, and some spikes that were blown up flew everywhere with the shrapnel, not only breaking many plants, but also hitting the surrounding rocks and trees with a clanging sound.
"Squeak ......", the explosion, accompanied by a roar of pain or anger.
After a few clicks, he went up to the tree where Zhou Lin had observed the terrain before, and when Ling Tao looked in the direction of the hedgehog again, a smile appeared on his face.
The seven or eight meter-long hedgehog was originally covered with spikes, but at this time, most of the spikes on his back were missing, not only that, but there was also a wound more than one meter wide on his back, not to mention the blurred flesh and blood, and even the bones and even wriggling internal organs could be seen, and the hedgehog did not dare to come over, struggling like a distance and wanted to run.
"It's up to you," Ling Tao said to himself with a smile, pulling out the pistol from his waist and slamming it into the hedgehog's wound for a few shots, and after a few blows, the hedgehog screamed and stopped moving.
Estimating that the other party was already dead, Ling Tao said: "Okay, the crisis has been lifted, everyone doesn't have to hide."
Saying that, Ling Tao jumped down from the tree, quickly put down the hedgehog and ran over, no matter how small the 'mosquito' is, it is also meat, if he wants to become strong, he needs to absorb the life energy of the mutant beast, this hedgehog was killed, he will not let it go.
It's only more than ten seconds, Ling Tao has absorbed the hedgehog's life energy before Zhou Dazhu and they dare to come, and his strength has increased slightly, but there is still a gap from the standard of third-order warriors, in other words, until now, Ling Tao really doesn't know what the physical fitness standard of third-order warriors is, when Uncle Xiao introduced it, he only said the standard of first- and second-order warriors, and the third-order because only the founder of the sword had reached that point at that time, and there was no standard that was circulated.
However, Ling Tao didn't have to worry, as long as the cyclone absorbed the life energy of the mutant beast and no longer increased his strength, his strength was almost the standard of a third-order warrior, so he didn't have to deliberately know how much.
When Zhou Lin and the others came over, Ling Tao was observing the spikes on the dead hedgehog's body, the short ones were nearly one meter long, and the long ones were almost three or four meters, so in fact, the size of this hedgehog was not very big.
"It's really amazing, the spikes on this hedgehog are almost as hard as steel, and I don't know how they became like this," Ling Tao said as he tapped a spike with his hand.
"In that case, Mr. Ling, why don't we get all the spikes of this hedgehog down, maybe we can use them as weapons when we go to the village," Zhou Lin proposed on the side.
They all came out of Zhoujia Village, and they have a deep affection for it, and they think about it almost everything.
"That's not necessary, these spikes are difficult to get down, not to mention, this hedgehog is dead, the smell of blood is spreading, and it will soon attract other mutant beasts, let's get out of here first", Ling Tao shook his head and said.
The others didn't make sense, so they left here and quickly headed in the direction of Zhoujia Village, thinking that it wouldn't be long before the hedgehog's body would be eaten by other creatures in nature.
"Mr. Ling is really powerful, if a few of us face that hedgehog, although we can kill him, it will definitely be very embarrassing, maybe someone will be injured, but I didn't expect to be cleaned up by Mr. Ling twice", Zhou Xiaoqian looked at Ling Tao and said adoringly.
"That's right, Mr. Ling is too powerful, if I had half of you, no, one-tenth of my ability, I would be able to protect the village", the honest Zhou Dazhu also said with some admiration.
"As long as you work hard, you will definitely be able to", Ling Tao said with a smile, but if he didn't have a mysterious cyclone, I'm afraid he would be similar to them, how could he think of being as high as he is now.
The group walked in the mountains, talking and laughing, and soon solved Zhoujia Village, although there were some troubles from time to time on the way, they were all solved.
"If you cross the col in front of you, you can see the village, let's go quickly," Zhou Lin said, pointing to a col in front of him.
As soon as these words came out, everyone else was visibly excited.
However, at this time, Ling Tao looked at the col and frowned, his footsteps did not stop, and he quickly ran towards the front ....... (To be continued.) )
