Chapter 13 All the Way East (continued) - Mysterious creatures
Track 320 runs through the southern section of the Hengshan Mountains, and has to go through a tunnel of more than 2,000 meters in total, which is very troublesome.
After entering the Hengshan Mountains, everyone can clearly feel the increase in the terrain, and the towering and continuous mountains come into view, and they are lush. It is strange to say that after the cataclysm, although there was no obvious change, the vegetation on the planet has also quietly undergone some changes, at least, five months ago, there was absolutely no such lush vegetation in the Hengshan Mountains.
The direct consequence of the dense growth of plants is that Hengshan District has become a paradise for mutant beasts and a forbidden place for humans!
Rustling~~~ A sound of grass blades sounded, attracting everyone's attention, but only to see a black object with a metallic luster flashing by, into the deeper forest, difficult to find.
"That thing, it seems to be a head...... Wild boar?? One of the team members hesitated to speak.
Wild boar?! Everyone looked at each other, their faces full of doubt. Wild boars are rarely seen by people, and if they do, they are on the screen. However, the impression left by the fleeting black shadow had nothing to do with the creatures of wild boars.
Lu Yuan scratched his head and shrugged helplessly: "Eh, everyone be careful." ”
Luo Tianmeng raised his hand and shouted in a deep voice: "Wait! Seeing everyone's eyes on him, he explained in a low voice: "I feel that energy reaction is still wandering around, not leaving, I think it is better to stop first, I will go and check." ”
Lu Yuan thought about it, asked the speed of the convoy to be reduced further, and called a thin boy and asked him to go with Luo Tian. This person Luo Tian is very impressed, his name is Lin Cheng, although he looks twelve or thirteen years old, he is actually about the same age as himself. He inherited the power of the Night Elves, the assassins of the night, and his presence was extremely weak.
The two men and the cat went up the gentle slope on the side of the railroad tracks and into the half-man-high bushes.
Within a few steps, the surrounding vegetation had reached the height of a man, and this was not yet a real wooded area, at best a transition zone between shrubs and trees. The surrounding grass resembles thatch, and the leaves are covered with sharp serrations, giving off an awe-inspiring aura. Wangcai was an animal, its smooth hair and tough skin could ignore the sharp blades of grass around it, and Lin Cheng, as an assassin, naturally had the means to integrate himself with his surroundings. The only one who was forced was Luo Tian, and he had to avoid making a sound, and he had to prevent his own energy from escaping too much to alarm those mutant beasts, so he could only rely on his own defense and let the edge of the blade of grass cut on the skin.
After crawling through the grass and shrubs for about ten minutes, Luo Tian and Lin Cheng arrived at their destination at the same time, less than ten meters apart, and Wangcai wandered around on guard. After making a gesture towards Lin Cheng, Luo Tian moved more lightly, gently brushed aside the plants in front of him, and swam through the dense aquatic grass forest like a swimming fish, constricting the energy aura of his whole body.
Hey? After advancing more than three meters, Luo Tian's pupils shrank, and a trace of doubt crossed his face.
Breath...... In the weakening! The body moved forward close to the ground, and after a few seconds, Luo Tian was already sure that the energy reaction was gradually weakening, the breath was weakening, and a trace of the smell of death spread around.
With a force under his feet, Luo Tian flicked violently, savagely parting the dense plants, and appeared at the destination in an instant.
"Lin Cheng, come here!" Lin Cheng, who was walking around on guard, heard Luo Tian's voice in his ears, his body trembled, and he instantly turned into a small snake in the grass, and he didn't even move a blade of grass when he walked.
Yes! Brushing aside the last two-finger-wide blade, Lin Cheng couldn't help but let out an exclamation, stunned by the scene in front of him.
A...... Four are not like ...... That's right, Lin Cheng couldn't find any other noun to name it.
It has a body the size of a buffalo, with a pale black body, covered with a palm-long hedgehog fur like a steel needle, flowing with a metallic luster like steel; The four legs are short and thick, and three white streaks spread down from the joints that appear to be very flexible, all the way down to the toes, connected to three dagger-like claws; The head is similar to that of a domestic pig, but it is more pointed and narrow, and the lower jaw is flattened and somewhat crocodile-like; Its two eyes glowed with a faint green glow, and its eyes were round, and it was clear that it was frightened; The giant mouth opened slightly, and the sharp teeth like two rows of daggers were revealed, just like a shark in the sea, very tight, without a single gap, just afraid that the upper and lower jaws would not be able to enter even a trace of air.
Even if this four-like creature died, it exuded a powerful and majestic aura, like the king of all beasts.
Luo Tian's expression was solemn: "Lin Cheng, can you tell how it died?" "Obviously, this four-like creature was the creature that had just disappeared in a flash, but it was killed silently under everyone's noses.
Lin Cheng's throat moved, tightened the dagger in his hand, walked to Si Wei and squatted down, and checked it carefully and carefully.
As a killer in the night, Lin Cheng knew a lot about these things, and after three minutes, he focused on the four hideous heads. He inspected inch by inch, and even tapped with the handle of his dagger, leaning in to listen to the sound.
Another six or seven minutes passed, and Lin Cheng straightened up, let out a long breath, his eyes flickering.
"It died in a very strange state, without any external scars, but the liver and gallbladder in the body were completely ruptured, and other internal organs were also damaged to varying degrees...... It also has some peculiar signs in its brain......" Lin Cheng said a lot, raised his head suddenly, looked directly at Luo Tian, and his eyes flashed with disbelief, "According to my judgment, it was scared to death!" ”
What the?! Luo Tian was stunned, his eyes scanned back and forth between Si Wei and Lin Cheng, and he felt that this world was too crazy.
After a moment of silence, Luo Tian smiled bitterly: "Forget it, let's go back first, Lu Yuan and they are probably in a hurry for so long." Actually, in his heart, Luo Tian was inclined to believe it, after all, he also saw the appearance of "death without blinding" in his eyes.
After walking a few steps, Luo Tian suddenly returned, grabbed one of Siyi's hoofs and claws with his right hand, and lifted it up in Lin Cheng's stunned. "Take it back and see, if it's not poisonous, it's also a delicacy, hehe." Luo Tian smiled.
I took it...... Lin Cheng gave a thumbs up with a speechless expression.
Boom! At least 5,000 catties of weight fell on the ground, and Lu Yuan and the others felt a numbness under their feet, and then a thick layer of dust rushed towards them.
cough cough cough cough ~~~ Lu Yuan and the others, who opened their mouths wide in surprise, coughed violently under Luo Tian's prank. As a prankster, someone laughed heartlessly.
In the past few days in the team, quietly, the silent Luo Tian has changed a lot.
"This is the boar?" Yao Tingting, who was far away, survived the disaster and asked.
"Wild boar? Probably. Luo Tian glanced at the huge body in the smoke and dust and shrugged.
A team member with the power of the wind sent the dust away, and everything that was different from the four was reflected in everyone's eyes, causing bursts of exclamations.
Luo Tian and Lin Cheng told the process and speculation of their encounter with this four dislikes, and the faces of the people who were giggling and laughing appeared solemnly, and they re-evaluated the danger of the Hengshan Mountain in their hearts, and raised it by several grades.
"I think this thing is mostly the overlord of this piece, and it is estimated that it is also the number one character in the entire Hengshan Mountain Range, so you don't have to worry too much." An animal trainer expressed his opinion, which was quite insightful, and made everyone's hearts feel a little calm.
"Yo, that's a great material!" The suspension of the convoy caused the members of the middle and rear sections to run to the front, and the "scholars" of the research group were also attracted to it, and a man in his fifties who had inherited the equipment manufacturing saw a wild boar (?) that had fallen to the ground. He cried out in surprise, squeezed away the others at a speed of 100 meters, and came to the boar, groping around the huge body in a series of frenzy, and still muttering words in his mouth.
Several professions such as "wizard" and "magician" also pounced one after another, claiming possession of things like the essence blood and bone marrow of wild boars. Seeing the performance of these bosses and not a small team member, everyone laughed, and the previous depression was swept away.
"Dinner tonight!" After verifying that it was indeed non-toxic and edible, Lu Yuan lost no time in announcing it, making the atmosphere of everyone rise again.
More than 1,000 meters ahead, there is a tunnel more than 300 meters long, which can already be regarded as the middle area of Hengshan, and more than a dozen captains discussed for a while, and simply cleared a vacant land in a relatively flat place nearby, as a camp tonight.
In front of everyone before, Lin Cheng and Luo Tian did not tell Lin Cheng's guess, and the other captains did not say anything although they had some guesses, so they told the truth at this moment.
"The strength of that big boar is even stronger than after I transformed into a beast, and it is likely to be a fourth-level mutant beast." Zhou Tong, a high-level peak captain, glanced at Luo Tian and said in a deep voice. He is an orc, a power type minotaur. After listening to Zhou Tong's words, the air around him was condensed, and he could hear the sound of breathing clearly.
Luo Tian nodded, indicating that the strength of the big wild boar was indeed much stronger than his own, which made everyone's expressions even heavier.
It has already been determined that this overlord is at least the strength of the fourth level, that is, the yellow level, and if it attacks the convoy, it will definitely cause huge damage. However, just such a hegemon-level mutant beast was killed by another mutant beast in a few breaths, and it couldn't even resist at all, and it was very likely that it was scared to death......
The so-called scared to death can be understood as the absolute difference in rank, and the weak are oppressed to death by the breath of the strong. However, whether it was a one-hit sneak attack or a level oppression death, that mysterious creature was no match for the convoy.
Even Luo Tian is very likely to not be able to survive a round under it!
After more than an hour of discussion, there was still no result.
Under the suppression of absolute strength, even a dozen people racked their brains, and they couldn't think of a way to resist.
Just when everyone's hair was gray in thought and meditating, it was already dinner time, and someone came over to call Luo Tian and they went over to eat wild boar.
At this time, Luo Tian and the others found that the sun was about to set, and it was already dinner time.
Outside the camp, there was an enchantment that filtered sounds, smells, and light, and several bonfires were burning, and the enticing fragrance came over, arousing everyone's cravings, and a few gourmets even gurgled in their stomachs.
Hahaha...... Everyone looked at each other and burst into laughter, washing away the previous heaviness.
"Let's go, let's eat!" Silently suppressing the matter, everyone talked and laughed and walked to the place where the fragrance came from, which was filled with laughter and laughter, and the warm smell mixed with the smell of meat filled the entire camp barrier, dispelling all gloom.
Through the afterglow of the sunset and the light of the bonfire, through the transparent barrier, the lush Hengshan Mountain was reflected in Luo Tian's eyes.
Suddenly, a feeling came over me.
Someday, we'll meet again.
With that mysterious creature.
