Chapter 273: Uncle Zaixu
Compared to animal-transformed demons, plant-based demons are unusually outstanding in terms of perseverance, although they are slow to move and slow to think. These creatures, which are full of fiber to the bone, have never been afraid to compete with their prey.
It's like this vine demon entangled with the Sin Hunters.
Although it did not show up the whole time, it firmly occupied the initiative in the field - when the hunters of the sin attacked, it hid and hid without a trace, the hunters of the sin retreated to establish a defense, and it would stab a few shots in the cover of the trees, and when the hunters stopped paying attention to it and tried to leave the forest, the vine demon brandished a rattan whip and a wooden spear, and chased after it with great vigour.
To make matters worse, this vine demon also has the ability to move plants and change directions. Even if there is a full-time soothsayer in the hunting team, there will always be a path from time to time, and they will be misguided by the wrong markings.
It's annoying.
"It can't go on like this. When Zhang Jixin was once again beaten by a rattan that suddenly appeared on the bottom of his feet, the master hunter of the guilty finally got up and shouted angrily: "Just stumble and continue, before we can get out of the forest, the monster in the north will come!"
The originally marching team invariably stopped and looked at Zheng Qing in unison.
Zheng Qing rubbed his eyebrows and feet, raised his head, and glanced into the distance.
As far as the eye can see, it is lush and green. Various ferns and broad-leaved trees intertwined, firmly blocking his view.
Ever since leaving the makeshift station and moving out of the woods, the vine demon had done everything in its power to slow them down. Even with the blue with amazing intuition and experience in entering and exiting, they still took a lot of wrong paths.
Before the blue tinch appeared, Zheng Qing had planned to use the 'Uncle Zai Serval' to burn this forest to the ground, so that even if the vine demon hid deeply, there would be no reason to be spared.
But there are many risks associated with doing so.
On the one hand, the fierce fire can easily get out of control, and the hunting party itself is deep in the forest, and if they are not careful, they will have to be accompanied by the vine demon and act in the fire together, on the other hand, the smoke and fire are like a dazzling signal flare in this small secret garden, and the demons with the slightest thinking ability may be attracted by this signal - the demons are not their relatives who drink blood and hair, most of them have basic logical thinking skills.
Of course, there are disadvantages in everything, and there are relatively advantages.
Flares can attract other demons, and naturally they can also attract other hunting teams. It's just that after the warning and temptation of the puppet host before, what kind of mentality the attracted hunting team will have to deal with Yousin is also a matter full of variables.
It's just that some of these troubles were immediately resolved after the blue appeared.
"How far is it?" Zheng Qing asked with a glance at the blue.
"The distance in a straight line is one thousand three hundred and thirty-four steps. Blue pondered for a moment and immediately gave a very accurate number. At the same time, his wrist trembled slightly, and a sword aura swept over Zheng Qing's shoulder in his backhand.
The cold light flashed, and a rattan that had fallen from the big tree next to it was twisted and crushed. It's just that those broken pieces still haven't given up struggling, and they are still jumping a few times in the grass. Then he was stomped into rattan sauce by the fat man.
"Three hundred and thirty-four steps more. Zheng Qing didn't realize it, his eyelids didn't tremble, and he added in a flat tone: "We must use that spell under the condition of ensuring the safety of the hunting team...... If any of you are going to take a hot bath, you can sit down and rest for a while, and I can give him the set of Five Elements Bagua Talisman from before. ”
No one said a word.
Even the noisiest and most bitter fat man on weekdays keeps his mouth shut tightly - after all, he is just a fat man who likes to eat barbecue, which does not mean that he likes to turn himself into barbecue.
Three hundred and thirty-four steps, if you walk the whole way unhurriedly on flat ground, it will only take about one to two minutes. But in the bushy, weedy-filled forest, especially with a vine demon making a monster, it took the whole fifteen minutes for the Sin Hunting Team to complete the journey.
"I won't move anymore after I beat it...... It's a big deal to be a barbecue!" The fat man stretched out his legs, sat on the ground with his buttocks, panting and shouting, looking like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water.
But before the others could speak, he covered his ass with a strange cry and jumped up from the ground with agility.
Zheng Qing glanced at the 'rattan stump' under the fat man's buttocks that was slowly sinking into the ground, and shrugged: "Very good, it seems that you should be very energetic when you recite the mantra later." ”
Zhang Jixin laughed beside him.
"Ten...... Twelve points of spirit!" The main hunter of the guilty sin held his waist, and the blue tendons on his forehead burst out with laughter: "I... I bet, fat man, fat man wait a minute, he will make twelve points, hahahaha slowly. ”
"Do you need a hemostat? The tortoiseshell ash I just finished divining has a very good effect on stopping bleeding. Xiao Xiao also glanced at the fat man sincerely.
"Thank you!" the fat man covered his ass and gritted his teeth, "If I remember correctly, I am the pharmacist of the hunting team!"
"Oh, that's right. Xiao Xiao lifted his glasses and lowered his head to look at his notebook again.
"A minute of rest!" Zheng Qing raised the pocket watch in his hand and motioned for everyone to concentrate: "Adjust your spirit, and then cast spells in turn according to the password!"
Then he turned his head to look at the blue: "Swordsman, keep an eye on the surroundings, you are in charge of tactical cover." ”
The blue bowed slightly, but did not speak.
But the sable in his hood popped out again, grinning on behalf of its owner.
A minute passed quickly.
Taking advantage of this break, Zheng Qing tied the 'connecting talisman' to Xiao Xiao and the others' arms, and repeatedly adjusted the positions of the three people.
"Look at my gestures!" Zheng Qing raised his arm and waved it like a beat, signaling several people to concentrate: "Fatty, the first paragraph ......"
"Uncle is in Serval!"
His arm swung down vigorously.
Fat Xin's face was flushed with blue gas, he opened the law book in front of him, and roared through gritted teeth: "Uncle is in the serval!
His roar was so loud that his body swelled uncontrollably.
With his roar, one, two, three, countless golden sparks suddenly appeared in this forest, falling under the branches and leaves of the trees next to them, hanging on the treetops and grass heads around them, gently fluttering.
It seems that in an instant, this forest has entered the season of summer flowers.
It's just that these flowers lack a bit of water and add a little color.
