Chapter 8: Tranquility and Crisis
Deep in the forest, a sturdy Sky Tiger is cautiously lurking behind a dense grove of trees, ready to hunt the red deer not far away. It saw the opportunity to pounce quickly, and just as the bloody mouth was about to bite the red deer's neck, a black "vine" flew out from the deeper part of the forest, instantly entangled the Sky Stepping Tiger. As soon as the red deer came back to his senses, he turned his head and saw the Sky Tiger being dragged into the center of the forest by the black "vines", and let out a long wail helplessly...
In another part of the forest, Su Yun and Rong had found a suitable place to rest by a river. This small river is slow, the water is clear, and it is great for drinking. There is also a large stone pile by the river, which is recessed into a hole more than one person deep, which can be used to shelter from the rain.
"This place is good, Uncle Ben has a unique vision, and he can find such an excellent shelter from the rain at once. He knocked on the rock on the cave wall and said with a sense of smugness.
Su Yun: (-_-#)
I followed the goods for more than an hour, but I kept spinning in place, and thanks to my timely discovery, I found out in time that I was able to identify a direction. Now this guy is embarrassed to ask for credit...
However, Su Yun was also used to the stinky fart character of the dragon, so he simply ignored it and chose a comfortable position to lie down. But he still wanted to be careful, stepped on the ground, and pulled Su Yun a few times with his bean-sized hand: "Mr. Su, this ground is too hard, it's uncomfortable to sleep, let's spread the snake skin on the ground." β
Su Yun moved his body and replied angrily: "No, I have to keep that skin well, even if I don't sell it for money, it is excellent to collect it as a treasure." β
What a fart! I really wanted to slap Su Yun on the head to make him sober up. It's good for me to be a master, but the problem of this iron rooster has to be changed, otherwise if something goes wrong in the future due to a small loss, it will really outweigh the loss. So he babbled and muttered for a while, and found that Su Yun ignored it completely, so he simply jumped on the latter's head and pulled his ear.
"Oh, what are you doing!" Su Yun was coldly pulled his ears and cried out in pain. He sat up, stared at Rong and asked, "You have to sleep with that snake skin, don't you?" Seeing that Su Yun was a little angry, he was not afraid, and replied with righteous words: "It's not a question of whether you can sleep on a snakeskin, it's a question of your vision." You regard a tattered snake skin as a treasure, and you are reluctant to even take it out for padding. Have you ever thought that the python crawls in the forest every day, and the skin is not clean, and this dust is missing? More importantly, you can't put down a piece of skin today, if he gets a spiritual weapon treasure one day, will he not even want his life for the sake of the treasure?"
Being scolded by the slashing head and covering his face, Su Yun scratched his head a little embarrassed. Thinking about it carefully, I am indeed too thrifty, and I seem very petty. Although this snake skin is a rare treasure, but think about Tingyu's birthday, he even gave away such a precious spiritual treasure, and now he treats a piece of snake skin as a treasure, it is simply a shame for his mother to open the door in shame - shame to come home. Su Yun's biggest advantage is that he doesn't twist and pinch, and after figuring out the reason, he immediately took out the snake skin from the storage circle and spread it under his body. Lu quietly watched him spread the snake skin, and the old student asked on the ground, "Figured it out?"
"You're right, there are good things that don't need to be used, it's just a tyrannical thing. This piece of leather is quite easy to use as a pad, and the flexibility is good. Su Yun was lying on the snakeskin, enjoying it very much. Seeing that Su Yun could be so good, he was very satisfied, and he also leaned on Su Yun to lie down.
Su Yun saw that he was also lying down, and stretched out a finger to push it: "Hey, don't lie down yet, go and make a fire, I'm a little cold." He slapped Su Yun's hand away with a palm, kicked him backwards with his leg: "I've been fighting with the big snake for so long, I'm tired, you go and make a fire." Su Yun knocked a hairy chestnut again: "I'm more tired than you, you make a fire." He shot back: "Obviously I'm more tired, you go." "There you go. "There you go. βγγγ
Ji Ning led the team to the depths of the forest, and killed the eyeless spirit beasts one after another along the way, which was a lot of gains. Bu Shi had just received a black pill from the spirit monkey, and the small emotions at the beginning had been swept away, and he was thinking about going back to use it to strengthen his baby spirit cat.
Xiao Lan saw Ayumi's appearance, but she didn't have the heart to ridicule - because she herself lost the treasure, she was promised by the captain that she had priority when choosing the loot, and at this time, her pocket was also full, and she picked several satisfactory things, which basically made up for the loss of Qingyu Manlu, and made a little profit.
The four of them were in high spirits and walked through the forest in high spirits, when they suddenly smelled a strong smell of blood. Nagel was extremely sensitive to the smell of blood, and immediately drew his long sword and shouted, "Be careful! There is a smell of blood!" and the other three also used their abilities and prepared for battle. Nagel led the way, followed by the others and slowly leaned in.
Walking in the direction where the gore came for a while, a large clearing appeared, covered with a large amount of blood and broken stumps - apparently formed after a fierce battle.
In the very center of the clearing was a large object, and due to the darkness, several people could not see what it looked like. Ji Ning walked to it, illuminated it with the light of the magic circle, and the moment she saw the whole picture of the object, Ayumi covered her mouth with her hands and almost vomited.
It was the corpse of a spirit beast, about ten meters long, and part of its body was still coiled, looking winding and hideous. The spirit beast's skin was stripped away, and a large piece of flesh near its back was also removed, revealing Senran's white bones. In the face of this bloody and terrifying scene, not only Ayumi, but even Ji Ning and Nagel, who had been in the killing field for a long time, were strongly shocked and stayed there. After a long time, Ji Ning stepped forward to check the corpse.
"How, what kind of spirit beast is this?" Nagar asked as he thrust his sword back behind him and turned to Ji Ning. "It should be a Titan python, it looks like it hasn't been dead for long, and its heart still has residual warmth. Ji Ning walked around the corpse and returned to his teammates, "The most valuable snake teeth, snake skin, and the best meat on the corpse are gone, presumably taken by the person who killed it." And the rest of them are too large, or have no value for those people, and they are left here. It was a real bonus. β
Ji Ning is worthy of being an experienced explorer, and he analyzed the situation to be basically consistent with the truth, and the only thing he misjudged was the number of people who killed the giant python - no matter how much he wanted to break his head, he would never have thought that it would be a person who killed the giant python with his spirit pet, and this person had just fought with him.
"The Titan Python is the grandson of the overlord-level in this forest, such a huge Titan Python, I'm afraid that it has already developed spiritual intelligence, and ordinary Five Peerless Array mages may not be able to take it. Nagel analyzed.
Ji Ning shook his head, lowered his head and muttered: "This Titan Python is less than ten meters long, and it is not yet fully adult. At this level, if the Five Absolute Beings really come, they can be killed with just one blow. The approximate strength of this spirit beast should be around the four peerless dragon products, and it will definitely not reach the earth products. However, if we encounter it, it will definitely not be solved. β
Ayumi was scared for a while, and patted her chest: "It's okay, it's okay, we met the guy just now, and we delayed a little time, otherwise we met this monster before this group, and I'm afraid we would be wiped out." β
Ji Ning nodded, but he didn't careβthe daily life of explorers is like this, and luck is very important to them. If they had come half an hour or an hour earlier, this python would have been their god of death. And now, it is their god of wealth. "Let's quickly clean it up first, divide it into small pieces and take it away," Ji Ning looked up at the cloudy sky, "I see it's going to rain heavily this one." The team members agreed in unison and started to cut the corpse. Ayumi also endured her nausea and summoned a civet cat to join in.
While the four of them were busy working, under a stone stool, a man and a beast were roasting on fire, enjoying the fragrant snake meat, while appreciating the rain outside. "This rain is really spectacular, during this period, it is really 'the wind is like pulling out the mountains, and the rain is like a river falling. 'Drop it cleanly, down hard. Su Yun sighed leisurely as he ate the meat and roasted it on the fire. He glanced at him: "Suddenly pretending to be an elegant person, and chanting poetry, sour or not." Su Yun said proudly: "You are called jealous and jealous." I'm one of the best students in our college, and my literary literacy is unmatched. I've written hundreds of poems like this, how can a coarse man like you understand?" he took a sip and ignored him.
The rain was pouring down, the thunder was rolling, and the whole world was in an uproar. In this noisy environment, no one noticed the occasional mournful sound, even if it sounded so poignant and desperate.
