Chapter 509: A Strange Phenomenon
It took Cheng Yang more than an hour to rush down the mountain.
He was now entering a prairie, and it was a prairie full of life.
The weeds growing here are almost half a person tall, and many plants Cheng Yang has never even seen. But they are all ordinary weeds and don't have much value, and Cheng Yang doesn't pay too much attention to them.
There are also a lot of demonic beasts in this grassland, and the average strength is slightly stronger than the demonic beasts that Cheng Yang encountered in the other two places before, but even so, the demonic beasts here still haven't broken through the fourth-order cunning beasts.
Cheng Yang wondered in his heart, is this world because it has become a broken space, unable to accommodate stronger demonic beasts? Otherwise, with so many demonic beasts, why didn't any of them evolve to the fourth order?
Fortunately, in this grassland, Cheng Yang found a lot of medicinal herbs, and most of the medicinal herbs here are currently not available in Luofeng Town, and even some are urgently needed by Luofeng Town's current alchemy. As long as these herbs can be transplanted successfully, it will greatly reduce Luofeng Town's dependence on Zhao Yi's purchase channel.
Cheng Yang also cares about this, after all, no one wants their lifeline to be in the hands of others.
It took a day for Cheng Yang to walk out of this grassland, and here, Cheng Yang had nothing else to harvest except for a large number of medicinal herbs below the ninth level. In fact, Cheng Yang also saw that there were higher-grade herbs, but with his ability, if he didn't use the ablation skill, he couldn't transplant them. But after last night's lesson, Cheng Yang didn't dare to use the ablation skill lightly, this was his life-saving skill, and he didn't want to lose his life because of a herb.
The harvest of medicinal herbs is very rich, and Cheng Yang is also very satisfied. Although the value of these things is not as valuable as some rare treasures, they are hens that can lay golden eggs, and as long as they are cultivated well, they will continue to supply the territory and enhance the strength of Luofeng Town. And it can generate great benefits.
When it was almost evening, Cheng Yang walked out of the grassland, and there was a forest in sight, but it could not be completely said to be a forest.
The environment here is very strange, and generally speaking, the forest ground is always the ground, but not here, this forest grows on top of the swamp.
Cheng Yang went to test it first, and with his strength, he couldn't walk on this swamp. Want to cross this swamp. The only way to do this is to cross over the giant trees.
But now that it was about to get dark, Cheng Yang was still a little uneasy in his heart when he entered such a strange forest in the dark night.
After thinking about it for a long time, Cheng Yang planned to stay at this junction for a night first, and then continue to move forward tomorrow.
The place where he spent the night had been found, and there was a big tree not far from the junction, no less than seven or eight meters in diameter, and there was a tree hole on it, and it was no problem to accommodate a person.
Besides. He now has the ablation skill to his side, even if he encounters danger, he can directly use the ablation skill to dodge, and then drift away. Find a slightly safer place, and directly start to run back to the city stone, even if there are more enemies, he is not afraid.
The night in the Abandoned Land is very peaceful. It could even be said to be dead silent. Of course, there is a premise for this, and that is that there are no skeletons out to cause trouble.
Cheng Yang once again alchemy until midnight. The strange scene from last night reappeared. It was on the grassland that he could clearly see countless skeletons emerge from the grass and wander aimlessly.
For this reason, Cheng Yang specially took out the mirror of the evil eye and observed it carefully.
Throughout the grassland, the skeleton soldiers can be described as endless, almost every ten meters there is a skeleton soldier wandering, they do not attack each other, nor do they communicate.
This scene was very weird, so weird that it made Cheng Yang's back chill.
How big is this grassland? Cheng Yang doesn't know, but Cheng Yang estimates that it won't be less than 100,000 square kilometers, right? After all, the distance I walked on this day is not a thousand kilometers, but seven or eight hundred kilometers.
In such a grassland, according to this density, the number of skeleton soldiers must be hundreds of millions, right?
Last night, Cheng Yang felt that he had killed enough skeleton soldiers, and now he realized that it was just a drop in the bucket.
How could such a large army of skeletons appear on Earth? What a horrible scene would that be? Cheng Yang shuddered just thinking about it.
This is just the skeleton soldiers on this grassland, if you add the desert before and the dead wood forest where I first entered, I am afraid that the number of skeleton soldiers will be even more.
Now, Cheng Yang would not be naïve enough to think that only on this grassland there are skeleton soldiers.
When he first entered this abandoned land, Cheng Yang thought that the master of this world was a demonic beast, but now he realized that he was thinking too simply. In front of such an endless array of skeleton soldiers, what is a demonic beast? No matter how powerful the demonic beast is, in front of this sea of skeletons, it can only drink hatred.
Suddenly, Cheng Yang saw an extremely strange scene, a demonic beast came out of a dense grass, but those skeleton soldiers ignored its existence and went directly past it.
Is this still an undead creature? Aren't undead creatures mortal enemies of living beings? Why don't these skeletons attack demonic beasts?
Cheng Yang felt that his common sense had been subverted in an instant.
At this moment, Cheng Yang felt some movement in the swamp below, and he quietly poked his head out, only to see a huge crocodile head half emerging on the surface of the water.
It's just like a crocodile's head, if you don't take into account the single horn in the middle.
"What the hell are these?" Cheng Yang was messy in an instant.
What made him even more entangled was that after he used the scout scroll to investigate, he found that this crocodile actually had the strength of the middle of the fourth order, wasting his two scrolls.
The scroll is a trivial matter, but the key is that a fourth-order demonic beast has appeared in it. Cheng Yang hadn't seen the fourth-order demonized beast exist before, and thought that this world would not appear because of the restrictions of the rules, but he didn't expect the result to be completely different, not only did it have a fourth-order demonized beast, but as soon as it came out, it was a powerful existence in the middle of the fourth order.
Cheng Yang was also a little glad at this time that he hadn't traveled overnight before, otherwise if there were a large number of fourth-order demonic beasts in this swamp, it would be very troublesome for him.
It's just that the appearance of this fourth-order demonic beast also made Cheng Yang's original fluke in his heart disappear without a trace, he originally felt that there was no fourth-order demonized beast in this world, and he could completely let himself run the scale. Now it doesn't seem to be like that.
The monster below is called the Poison Dragon Crocodile, and it is not only powerful in attack, but also poisonous, and more importantly, this guy has dragon blood. Although it's only a very weak level 1 bloodline, it's also a dragon bloodline, isn't it?
This poisonous dragon crocodile is not as simple as coming out to breathe, but it swims slowly towards the junction of the forest and the grassland, and at the same time the edge of the swamp.
"What the hell is this guy? Aren't the demonic beasts and skeleton soldiers getting along quite harmoniously? Cheng Yang was quite puzzled in his heart.
Cheng Yang looked in the direction that the poisonous dragon crocodile was staring at, and there was actually a medicinal herb there, which was a level 11 medicinal herb called Blood Clotting Grass, which could purify the bloodline of the demonic beast. This herb had been discovered by Cheng Yang before, but it was extremely valuable to the Demon Beast, but it didn't have much effect on Cheng Yang.
What's more, with Cheng Yang's level of herb collection skills, it was not enough to pick this blood clotting grass.
But for demonic beasts, there is no limit on the level of picking, and they don't need alchemy, as long as they eat the herbs, they can have an effect.
The poisonous dragon crocodile seemed to be paying attention to the movements of the skeleton soldiers around it, and when all the skeleton soldiers in the area wandered away, it immediately rushed to the shore at a great speed, and then went straight to the blood condensation grass.
However, the size of the poisonous dragon crocodile was destined to make it impossible for it to come to the vicinity of the blood condensation grass quietly, and only rushed out of seven or eight meters, and the skeleton soldiers in the distance sensed the movement here.
I saw that the soul fire of the skeleton soldiers flickered rapidly, and they actually ran towards the poisonous dragon crocodile as if organized. That feeling was even crazier than when he faced Cheng Yang last night.
Could it be that these skeletons are protecting the Blood Clotted Grass? It should be unlikely, any herbs don't mean anything to the skeletons, as they can't digest the potions.
Or maybe the skeletons on land are only friendly to demonic beasts on land? And the demonic beast in the swamp is the enemy of life and death?
This is not a very possibility, but it cannot be ruled out. The most important thing is that Cheng Yang can't think of other possibilities.
The poisonous dragon crocodile and the skeleton soldier immediately fought together, and the poisonous dragon crocodile seemed to be a little hesitant, but he was reluctant to give up the blood clotting grass dozens of meters away.
But this hesitation doomed the poisonous dragon crocodile to never return to the swamp.
Countless skeleton soldiers pressed over, and the poisonous dragon crocodile only lasted less than twenty seconds, and its vitality was completely exhausted, and it was cut into a pile of rotten meat by these skeleton soldiers.
But I have to say that this poisonous dragon crocodile is extremely strong in combat, and in such a short battle, it has killed hundreds of skeleton soldiers, but at the cost of its life.
Just when Cheng Yang was completely puzzled by this situation, a poisonous dragon crocodile with a single horn appeared in the swamp below, but this poisonous dragon crocodile was much smaller than the one just now, and its strength was only at the peak of the third order.
Compared to the cautious mid-fourth-order poisonous dragon crocodile just now, this guy is much more courageous, and its target is also that blood coagulation grass.
I saw it swaggering onto the grassland, and then went straight to the blood condensation grass without the slightest hesitation.
But the strange thing is that those skeleton soldiers who have not dispersed actually let the other party swagger to the blood condensation grass as if they didn't find this poisonous dragon crocodile, and then swallow it in one gulp.
Cheng Yang was stunned for an instant, the huge contrast between the front and back made him feel unreal, are these skeleton soldiers acting? (To be continued......)
