Chapter 80 Crossing the Pass
Qianye took the telescope and saw that on the two mountain walls that looked like knives, there were indeed some creatures that looked like huge crocodiles. They have dark scales, are several meters long, and crawl slowly on steep or even straight mountain walls.
The scene in front of him made Qianye's heart sink, the last time he came, the number of these fierce beasts he saw was not so many, and most of them lurked in dark and remote corners, and rarely crawled outside in a big way. And now there are hundreds of this kind of crocodile beasts on the mountain walls on both sides, and I don't know how many are hidden in the places where they can't be seen.
"Do you know where these things came from?" asked Chiya.
"It has been observed that they are likely to crawl out of the south-west forest, but they do not look like protists from the forest terrain, which is indeed a bit strange. Our scouts tried to get closer, but the beasts were too strong to give up on further investigation. Zhu Wuya said.
"Oh, how strong are they?"
"Most of the strength is proportional to the size, and the weakest of them require a third-level warrior to deal with, and the larger ones need a fourth-level warrior to stop. You see, a few heads over there are extraordinarily large, probably at the level of a leader, and only me, Lao Duan, and a few lieutenant colonels can deal with it. ”
Qianye nodded, and asked again, "What is the relationship between them and werewolves?"
Duan Hao replied, "It doesn't seem to matter." Some time ago, I saw a reckless werewolf guard break into the place where they were entrenched, only to be torn to shreds in an instant. ”
However, even if these mountain crocodiles have nothing to do with werewolves, their current activity area happens to occupy the mountain walls on both sides of the pass, which is equivalent to adding an extra natural danger to the werewolf's defense line.
Qianye looked at the surrounding terrain, stretched out his hand and pointed to the area with the highest concentration of mountain crocodiles, and said, "Try firing a few shots at this place." ”
This move was in danger of angering the entire mountain crocodile group, so Duan Hao and the others never did it. But since it's a thousand nights' orders, it's not a problem. The herald ran quickly to the nearby firing point, and a moment later the heavy artillery roared, and the shells continued to fall on the mountain crocodile gathering.
Several mountain crocodiles were blown off the mountain wall, but after they fell nearly 100 meters and hit the ground heavily, they actually shook and slowly climbed up again. Except for a few unlucky ghosts who were directly hit by the heavy artillery, the rest of the mountain crocodiles in the aftermath shock range were fine.
There was a commotion among the crocodiles, and the mountain crocodiles in the area covered by the heavy artillery seemed to sense the attack, and turned around one after another, with the intention of moving towards the position of Qianye. As soon as they moved, they were like the first waves in the sea, slowly spreading out, and began to affect the crocodiles on the periphery.
"Ceasefire!" Chiya ordered again.
The roar of the heavy artillery stopped, the mountain crocodile suddenly lost its target, and the direction of movement began to be confused, and after a while, the crocodile group slowly calmed down, and several dead crocodile corpses were eaten.
It seems that these mountain crocodiles are not very intelligent, but they are still quite sensitive to external attacks, and if they fire a few more shots, I am afraid that the entire crocodile group will attack the dark fire position.
Qianye thought for a while and said, "You guys are here to standby, keep an eye on the werewolves in the pass, and you can't let them rush out no matter what." ”
"What about you?"
"I'm going to meet the Viscount Brudo. ”
Since Qianye had made a decision, he didn't stay any longer, he left the locomotive in the dark fire position and entered the steep mountain forest alone.
The mountainous terrain was no obstacle to Chiya, and he had enough supplies in his Andua space, especially grenades. The battle in the mines showed Chiya the power of Force grenades during a one-man raid, and the grenades became his primary replenishment.
Qianye scurried through the mountains and forests, straight into the pass, preparing to climb to the top from the cliff on the west side, bypassing the barrier intercepted at the crossing, and directly entering the werewolf territory.
He ran and ran, and suddenly there was a sharp stop, and in the pile of fallen leaves in front of him, a huge and agile black shadow burst out. It was a mountain crocodile with a long mouth wide open and a hard bite on it. However, due to the sudden halt of Qianye, of course, it failed in this mouthful.
Up close, the mountain crocodile is indeed a behemoth, with a body length of more than five meters and a back scale armor that is as hard as a rock chip. The most dangerous thing is that such a large size is as agile as a mountain wolf. After swooping into the air, it bit down on a big tree behind Qianye, and suddenly the bark and sawdust flew all over the place, and a large gap deep in the radius appeared.
Qianye took a step sideways, turned his body in a half circle, and stepped on the mountain crocodile's back, and the crimson fangs were simultaneously plunged deep into the junction of its head and neck like lightning. This is the vital part of the mountain crocodile, and although the scale armor is hard, it can't stop the crimson fangs that are level five themselves. Qianye's knife was easily inserted and pushed straight to the handle.
In the blink of an eye, a large amount of essence blood poured from the crimson fangs, and this mountain crocodile with a combat power of three levels could provide even more essence blood than a fifth-level dark race warrior. Chiya stood up from the corpse of the mountain crocodile and continued to move forward, and before he had gone far, he killed another mountain crocodile that wanted to ambush him.
Now Thousand Nights finally knew why the Scouts of Darkfire didn't dare to go deep into the Southwest Forest, these mountain crocodiles were not too high-level, but they had both strength and agility, and their lethality was far greater than that of ordinary beasts in the Eternal Night Wasteland.
In just a few hundred meters of road, Qianye killed more than a dozen mountain crocodiles in one go. After killing a ten-meter-long predator, he finally stopped moving forward, but left the range of the mountain crocodile first.
Qianye found a quiet place to calm down some of the surging blood. The amount of essence blood of these fierce beasts is several times that of the dark race warriors of the same level, and it only takes a dozen mountain crocodiles to kill, and half of the essence blood in his body is stored.
However, this situation is definitely not normal, a small group of fierce beasts such as mountain crocodiles need a vast mountainous area as a hunting ground, otherwise their feeding needs will destroy the entire biological system of the area. Now there are so many people gathered in the area that Qianye saw alone, it is definitely not a natural formation, and there must be a reason behind it.
Qianye silently cultivated the Xuan Chapter, transformed a part of the essence blood, and then continued to walk in the direction of the werewolf tribe.
However, he didn't go far to find that these mountain crocodiles were extremely sensitive, and they could detect the movement of people from a distance. Unless Thousand Nights consumes a lot of Force power to stay hidden the whole time, it will be almost impossible to traverse the mountain without alerting them.
After only a little thought, Chiya decided to let go and kill him. Originally, in the mountains and forests, the mountain crocodile was a hunter, but in front of the thousand nights with the eyes of true vision, the mountain crocodile that lost its hidden advantage became an outright prey.
Next, Qianye slashed the mountain crocodile all the way until the essence and blood in his body were about to overflow, and then found a place to concentrate on cultivating the mystical skills, transforming the essence and blood into the dark force little by little, and nourishing the blood and qi in the body. When the essence blood was almost digested, he would go back on the road, continue hunting, and then seek land to cultivate when the essence blood overflowed.
If the cycle continues, with a sufficient supply of essence blood, the cover of the Black Book is almost completely lit, and it won't be long before it can be opened again. And the feather on the primordial wings is also half condensed. In addition, the three blood qi have different progressions, and the dark gold blood qi is about to usher in the third evolution.
When Qianye moved forward again, he found that the mountain crocodile herd had become much more sparse, which meant that he was about to leave their control area. He climbed to the top of a cliff and looked down, and here he had reached the other end of the natural passage of the pass, behind which was an undulating hill, full of lush trees, and halfway up the mountainside, there were even two small lakes, as clear as a mirror.
The scenery on the distant mountain peaks seemed to be somewhat different, and Qianye put her transcendent vision farthest away, and saw that it was a castle of rough shape and rather magnificence, with large gray wall stones unadorned, and from a distance it seemed to be almost integrated with the weathered rock face of the stone peak.
A flag with three claw marks fluttered on the top of the castle. It was the emblem of Viscount Brudo the Werewolf, and the claw marks symbolized his understanding of the ancient werewolf tradition, which was speed, power, and destruction.
At the foot of the rocky peak, covered with a long forest, stretches into the distance, and beyond a natural rift, there is another beautiful peak, which is Qingfeng Mountain, the territory of the Fengya tribe, and where Zhao Yuying's speculation is located.
At this moment, Qianye is condescending, able to look down on the pass. The werewolves also built a fort here to block the end of the passage, and there were a number of wooden houses and tents scattered nearby, and by the number and size of the project, Brudo had at least a few hundred elite werewolf warriors here. That's almost half of the viscount's combat power.
Qianye's gaze didn't stay long at the pass, and fell on the castle in the distance. As long as Brudo is subdued or killed, the viscounty's defenses will collapse on its own.
Most of the werewolf castles are built on rocky peaks, and the material is basically large stones, which looks very strong. However, werewolves worship nature, and many tribes don't even like to use weapons in battle, and there are fewer things like Force circles and city defense equipment in castles, so compared to other races, both decoration and function are quite primitive and crude.
Raiding such a castle will undoubtedly be much easier, only to deal with the werewolf warriors.
Chiya took out a large bag from the Andua space and began to make pre-battle preparations. He placed his standard saber, crimson fangs, twin flowers, physical Force bombs, and a few knick-kamgets for climbing or stealth, and adjusted them to the most convenient position. Finally, he took out a bottle of potion and sprayed it all over his body.
This is designed to deal with the werewolf's sensitive sense of smell, and werewolves instinctively feel uncomfortable when they inhale the smell, thus ignoring other scents that are masked. However, this discomfort is extremely mild, and it does not make the werewolves suspicious. The spray duration is four hours, which is enough for a raid.
Qianye checked the equipment on his body again, and jumped off the cliff. Every ten meters of landing, he hovered a little over the rocks, and then descended more than ten meters, and then fell several times, quietly falling to the ground into the forest, and running towards the distant Viscount Castle.
In the vicinity of the cliff, Qianye killed two more mountain crocodiles, and it seems that their control area has infiltrated from the other end of the two screen-like cliffs.
Although the number here was insignificant in comparison, Chiya still frowned. In the process of killing mountain crocodiles along the way, he has found that the fierce beasts that should be in the mountains and forests are almost extinct, which is not a good sign. When the most primitive ecological balance of the local area is destroyed, the next thing to be squeezed is likely to be the living space of intelligent creatures such as the dark race and humans.
Qianye swung her crimson fangs and stabbed into the back of the neck of a leader-level mountain crocodile in front of her, and the boiling heat continued to pour into her body, and the behemoth continued to struggle, and it was not until ten minutes later that it completely stopped moving.
Qianye only felt that his whole body was warm, his limbs seemed to be overflowing with strength, and his heart was beating extremely strongly. The essence blood provided to him by this huge beast was already equivalent to that of an ordinary baron.
This was already deep in the forest, and Qianye looked back at the location of the cliff he had climbed down, estimated the distance from this side, and then withdrew his crimson fangs and continued to move forward, soon disappearing into the shadows of the trees.
Somewhere in the forest suddenly a faint mist appeared, and a figure walked out of it. Her whole person was blurry, she couldn't see her face at all, and she could only tell from the silhouette of her slender body that it was a woman.
She stopped beside the carcass of a mountain crocodile, leaned over slowly, sniffed the wound gently, and covered her hand over the wound.
PS: I've drunk a little wine, I have a headache, and I haven't had time to make up for it recently, so I'll try to write more per chapter.
