A few days later, on the shore of Songhai Lake, the lake was calm. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

A wounded horned deer lay not far from the shore, blood pouring out, and occasionally twitching limbs, showing that it was still alive.

The air was filled with a faint smell of blood, polluting the fresh air.

"Whoa", a figure more than three meters long jumped out of the water and quickly pounced towards the horned deer.

Shadow, a magical beast that resembles a crocodile, bites the neck of the horned deer, and the huge bite ends the pain of the horned deer, dragging the corpse backwards into the lake.

Poof, poof, poof.

As the Crocodile Monster was about to return to the water, several spears shot out of the forest, blocking the Monster's retreat.

The attacked beast was startled at first, and when it came to its senses, the horned deer in its mouth fell to the ground, its head raised high, and let out an angry roar, somewhat similar to the dragon's groan.

"Livestock, suffer death. Zhou Cang rushed out of the forest, and the big knife slashed down at the head of the demonic beast, and the fighting spirit burst out from the blade.

The crocodile beast's flexibility was limited, and its head dodged Zhou Cang's attack, but its body couldn't dodge, and a crack was cut out of the hard scale armor.

"Roar~" A roar of pain sounded, and the crocodile demonic beast felt the strength of Zhou Cang, and endured the severe pain and fled towards the lake.

The crocodile demonic beast was just a fifth-level demonic beast, and Zhou Cang naturally wouldn't let it get his wish, so he chased after it, and ended its life when it was about to return to the water.

Several soldiers arrived, dragged the beast's corpse back to shore, dismantled it, and removed the crystal and the rest of the precious parts.

Through similar methods, Shaoyang and his entourage lured many low-level demonic beasts from the lake and obtained many medium- and low-grade magic crystals.

In the temporary camp, soldiers came in and out from time to time, bringing back various magical beast materials and magic crystals.

"These magic crystals are not of sufficient quality. Shaoyang played with the magic crystals he had collected, his goal was the ninth-level magic crystals, but now he even had a seventh-level magic crystal, and he was not satisfied with their quality.

There was a piece of demonic beast fur next to it, Guo Jia was lying on it, picking up a pot of wine from time to time and taking a sip, with a look of enjoyment on his face, he burped and said: "Zilong and Yuanzhi have gone to the center of the lake to find high-level demonic beasts, and I believe there will be good news soon." ”

Shaoyang was amused by Guo Jia's drunkenness, and teased: "Why don't you go together." ”

"It's not because I want to stay and protect Your Majesty. Guo Jiayi said in a rhetorical manner.

The reason of "......" Shaoyang has no way to refute.

Suddenly, a powerful and terrifying aura came from the lake, and Shaoyang showed a solemn look on his face and looked in the direction of the terrifying aura.

"What's going on?" With Shaoyang's strength, he could only feel the breath, but he couldn't judge the specific situation, so he had to ask Guo Jia.

didn't get a response, and when Shaoyang looked back, only the animal skin was still laid in place, Guo Jia, who was still leisurely, was gone, and the wine jug disappeared along with it.

The space magister is a haunted person, and he may have arrived at the place of the incident, which is also the reason why Guo Jia stayed in the camp and did not go to the lake with Zhao Yun and the others.

Since Guo Jia rushed over, if he guessed correctly, the terrifying aura in the distance should have been caused by Zhao Yun and Xu Shu encountering a high-level demonic beast and a battle.

After staring at it for a while, Shaoyang's eyes hurt, so he could only give up obediently and no longer look into the distance.

Now Shaoyang already has the strength of the third level of demonic martial arts, but in the battle with those high-level demonic beasts, he can't help at all, so he has to stay in the camp alone.

After that, the breath of battle broke out from time to time, and after Guo Jia left, he never came back, and it was not until three days later, when Shaoyang began to worry about them, that the three of them returned to the temporary camp together.

"You're finally back, but you're worried about being alone, so hurry up and wash and change your clothes first. Shaoyang happily brought the three of them into the camp, looked at them carefully, and confirmed that they were not too seriously injured before relieving themselves.

Zhao Yun and the three of them brought back a lot of gains, the lowest of more than a dozen magic crystals are seventh-level quality, and there are also five eighth-level magic crystals, the only fly in the ointment is that there are no ninth-level magic crystals.

More than half an hour later, Zhao Yun changed into a set of clothes and returned to Shaoyang, and then Xu Shu and Guo Jia also washed up one after another, and told Shaoyang about the experience of the past two days.

"We encountered a ninth-level demonic beast and defeated it together, but unfortunately we finally let it run. ”

"Those demonic beasts may have sensed the danger and hid in the depths of the lake, and it has been difficult to find high-level demonic beasts since yesterday, so we decided to go back to the camp. ”

......

"Is there no way to kill high-level demonic beasts and obtain high-quality demonic crystals for the time being?" Shaoyang felt a pity, but what he got was Zhao Yun's shaking of his head in response.

At this point, since he couldn't harvest high-quality magic crystals, Shaoyang felt that it was no longer necessary to continue to stay in Songhai Lake, and decided to return to the city the next day.

In the past few days of hunting, whether it is Zhao Yun and other generals, or the soldiers under his command, they all feel extremely tired, except for the soldiers on duty at night, the others fell asleep very early.

The temperature on the lakeside is warmer than in other places, but at this time, because of the water's edge, the makeshift camp is unusually cold and humid.

The patrol soldiers wore heavy leather clothes, which still could not completely block the cold, and rubbed their hands and feet from time to time to keep out the cold.

As the night deepened, the air became colder, and the water vapor seemed to condense into ice, and even the soldiers in the camp were awakened by freezing.

Shaoyang also woke up from his sleep and wrapped his body tightly in the quilt, but he was still shivering from the cold.

"Not true. Shaoyang suddenly realized that this cold was unusual, with his third-level strength, not to mention that the cold and heat would not invade, but he had never felt like this, and immediately got up from the bed and prepared to go outside the tent.

"Your Majesty, something is wrong" At this time, Xu Shu also walked in from outside the tent, and the two walked out of the tent together.

At this time, there is a world of difference between outside the tent and before going to sleep.

Snowflakes with goose feathers in the air, ice cubes hanging from the trees all around, and the bonfires have long been frozen out.

"It's so cold~" Guo Jia was wrapped in the fur of the monster, and his body was tightly shrunk, his warrior strength was the lowest, and he was afraid of the cold, rubbing his hands and snorting into the palms of his hands.

"Your Excellency, this snow is very abnormal, and many soldiers are frostbitten. Zhao Yun's face was solemn, looking at the snowflakes falling in the air.

Fortunately, the soldiers all have the strength of first-class warriors, otherwise the horror is not as simple as being frostbitten, and with a wave of his hand to the ground, a batch of leather clothes and quilts appeared on the ground, and ordered: "Give these to the soldiers." ”

Because he didn't know how long he would stay in Songhai, Shaoyang stuffed a lot of supplies into the main city space.

The coverage of ice and snow is vast, and the spiritual consciousness of Xu Shu, Zhao Yun and others is released, and they can't find the root cause, the situation is abnormal, the sky is dark, and they are afraid of danger if they leave the camp easily.

"Let the soldiers gather in a few tents first, and wait until dawn to see what happens. In the end, Shaoyang made a reluctant decision.
