Chapter 141: The First Battle of the Reed Forest

When Zhang Ziqing came to the reed forest with his fast horse and whip, it was already noon on the 19th, and he didn't have time to rest for a while, so he tied his war horse to a big tree at the edge of the forest, and entered the dark forest full of swamps and low-level monsters.

In fact, more than 1,000 years ago, it was also the boundary of the Great Forest, but due to the movement of the earth's crust, there was an underground fault, which caused about a few hundred square meters of surface forest to be separated from other forest areas. The fault extends all the way to the ground, forming a deep fissure trench that is more than a zhang wide.

Although it was not impossible to cross, the orcs felt that the boundary of several hundred square meters was full of monsters, and it was impossible to build a treehouse and enclosure to live in, so they gave up the small forest separated by the fault.

After hundreds of years, it became a favorite place for monsters, and because no one to destroy them, they began to multiply wildly in hundreds of square meters of forest, so later people named this almost abandoned dense forest place as Reed, which means the home of monsters.

Monsters are filthy and dark, and they are covered in disgusting venom or slime, and over the years, the forest is filled with disgusting small swamps, which are even more intimidating.

When Zhang Ziqing first came into contact with the reed forest, he was still a small lieutenant general, and he almost died in the reed at that time, but this also made him realize that the monsters in the reed were full of spiritual mana and magic power that could be absorbed, and even some monsters had the spiritual power they needed in their bodies because of the relationship of cannibalism, so after that, no matter how dangerous it was here, Zhang Ziqing would come over to train regularly, just to quickly improve his strength.

After tying up his horse and stepping into the forest, Zhang Ziqing could no longer land on his feet, because the reeds were full of swamps, and the dense canopy of trees blocked the sunlight, so he could not see the traps and dangers on the ground clearly.

Jumping quickly between tree trunks, Zhang Ziqing moved like an ordinary elf, and those who saw him for the first time couldn't connect his speed of movement with humans at all. This is also the ability he has cultivated over the years in the reed forest: night vision and rapid movement with minimal foothold.

Yang Moya seemed to know what Zhang Ziqing was going to do, he quietly hid in Zhang Ziqing's heart armor, without a little crying.

Zhang Ziqing's eyes quickly searched the reed forest for possible targets, he had been here many times, and he knew the terrain and monster lairs here well. It's noon, and it's not the time for monsters to haunt them, so to find and destroy them, it's important to find their lair or a place to stay.

After a while, Zhang Ziqing found a cocoon of a tomb moth from a tall berry tree, as big as the crown of that tree, and the beige gray cocoon almost wrapped the upper part of the trunk of the entire berry tree, and the tree was only a few dead branches and a few residual leaves due to the looting of nutrients.

That's it. ’

Zhang Ziqing thought to himself, and circled around the huge insect cocoon for two or three times, making sure that the concubine tomb moth inside was about to break the cocoon, and at this moment, it was the best time for him to attack it.

The Concubine Tomb Moth, as the name suggests, is a monster that likes to dig through cemeteries to absorb the breath of rotting corpses, and what it does best is to devour its opponents with its huge mouthparts, and then suffocate living creatures alive with the filthy dirt hoarded inside the hard carapace. Therefore, the Concubine Tomb Moth is a monster full of earth spirit mana.

Zhang Ziqing believed that since Mo Ya was the son of the Cloud Dragon King, then all kinds of spiritual mana and magic power could be absorbed, and there was no need to choose, and the monster with full power in his body was like the concubine tomb moth in front of him who was about to break the cocoon, and through the cocoon, he could sense the turbid spiritual mana accumulated in his body.

Sure enough, after approaching, Yang Moya also seemed to sense it, and he began to writhe restlessly in Zhang Ziqing's heart armor, as if he was in urgent need of strength.

'Take your time, you're still young, there's a lot of people here, don't rush, don't rush. Zhang Ziqing patted Moya's swaddling clothes and began to look for cracks in the beige-gray insect cocoon.

If you cut the cocoon directly with a knife, you will also force out the concubine tomb moth, but this cannot guarantee that the insect glands of the concubine tomb moth will not be destroyed, the elves have spiritual mana glands, and the monsters have magic glands, which are all used to store power, and low-level monsters also have their insect glands or glands, which are also used to store power, but they are just more disgusting and dirty.

This concubine tomb moth was indeed about to come out of the cocoon, and when Zhang Ziqing moved around its cocoon, it had already discovered the danger from the outside, and kept moving its bulky body in the cocoon, trying to defend itself.

So Zhang Ziqing had to be more careful, the black hard insect feet had been moving in the direction of his body, and they could puncture the cocoon to attack Zhang Ziqing at any time.

While observing the direction of movement of the insect feet, while quickly looking for the crack he needed, the short knife in Zhang Ziqing's hand was ready to go.

After a while, he saw a target, and his hand rose and fell. I heard the cocoon burst with a 'Karakala' sound, and a large stream of mud-like juice erupted from the cocoon as it broke.

Zhang Ziqing hurriedly protected Yang Moya and retreated sharply. It was only after retreating dozens of meters away that he could be regarded as dodging the attack of the body fluids of the concubine tomb moth.

Then, the battle between the two sides unfolded in an instant, due to the cover of bodily fluids, the concubine tomb moth had already come to a place less than three feet in front of Zhang Ziqing, and the huge mouthparts hung with disgusting saliva and rushed straight towards the little human, ready to destroy it in one bite.

Zhang Ziqing is not an ordinary human, he did not dodge to the sides, but rotated the weapon in his hand upside down, the short blade was close to his wrist, his elbow was raised flat forward, and his foot was light, and he rushed straight towards the face of the concubine tomb moth.

When the two sides were about to make contact, Zhang Ziqing suddenly changed the orientation of his body, and the whole person rotated at a high speed of 360 degrees in the air, and instantly turned to the monster's jaw with the face of the concubine's tomb moth's mouth, and the short knife in his hand pulled out a crack in the center of his hard mandible.

And at the fastest speed, the whole person swept under the abdomen of the concubine tomb moth, not only perfectly avoiding the splashing monster body fluids, but also breaking the monster's softest abdomen, causing it to be seriously injured, and fell to the ground fiercely, smashing the soft ground into a big pit in an instant.

The place where the tomb moth fell was a swampy place, and soon, its body slowly sank.

Zhang Ziqing couldn't waste a little time, he jumped down from the tree, his feet just stood firm on the huge back of the concubine tomb moth, and the short knife in his hand slashed at the insect gland between the monster's wings, cutting off the nerve connecting the insect gland to the body.

With the insect glands in his hand, Zhang Ziqing didn't care about the concubine tomb moth who was struggling in the swamp and was not yet dead, jumped back to the branch and carefully uncovered the membrane around the insect glands, and a stream of earthy spirit mana with the fragrance of the earth immediately overflowed, Zhang Ziqing smelled a little bit first, and made sure that it did not contain toxins, so he aimed the gap overflowing the spirit mana breath at the Yang Moya in his arms.

As if he had received delicious food, Yang Moya immediately stretched out his chubby little hand, and couldn't wait to absorb all the spiritual mana breath from his mouth and nose, and in a few moments, the worm gland in Zhang Ziqing's hand turned into a dilapidated skin, useless, and was abandoned into the swamp that had not completely devoured the body of the concubine tomb moth.

Then, Zhang Ziqing's body jumped up like a bird again, and went to find the next delicious 'food' for Yang Moya.
