Chapter 784: Kill or Not Kill
Mu Yan and his party walked for another seven days before they saw a mountain range that blocked the walls of heaven and earth, this mountain range was not only long, and it was not only long that it could not see where the ends of the two ends were, but it was also very high, and when they looked up, they could only see that the top of the mountain range was covered by a large cloud and mist, as if this mountain range had stretched into the clouds, and they didn't know where it was.
Below the clouds, you can see a large area of the mountain covered in white, which is ice and snow.
Long, steep, high, dangerous!
That's what comes to mind for everyone who sees this mountain range.
In the past, they have climbed a lot of mountains, but this time, the impact on them is even greater.
"It's the first time I've seen such a mountain range!" Mu Yan looked ahead and sighed.
This is not an ordinary place, and the star butterfly larvae are also reasonable here, and it seems that extraordinary creatures should live in unusual places to be more logical. Thinking about it like this, Mu Yan felt that the Yi family had really found the traces of the star butterfly larvae.
"Is this it?" Mu Yan turned his head and asked Yi Qi.
"Hmm. Yi Qi was still thinking about who was tracking them, he didn't believe Yi Cong's words, he had been pondering this question day and night for the past seven days, and now even if he arrived at the destination, he didn't have much interest, just a perfunctory "um".
Mu Yan looked at Yi Cong, and when he saw Yi Cong nodding, his face was overjoyed, "What about the star butterfly larvae?"
"It's not time yet. Yi Cong said.
"Could it be that the star butterfly larvae will come out on their own?" Mu Yan was curious.
"It should be so, just wait. Yi Cong asked the slaves around him to clean up the place, sat down on the rubbed stones, took out the square plate, and began to ponder some doubts in his heart like Yi Qi.
Seeing that the two people of the Yi family were like this, Mu Yan did not force them to look for the star butterfly larvae, the people of the Yi family were the ones who were dead, especially the people of the main line of the Yi family.
"Look around for what's around. Mu Yan said to the rest of the team.
Mu Yan was thinking about where the star butterfly larvae were and how big they were, when he saw Gongjiayue close his eyes, take a deep breath, and show a look of comfort and enjoyment on his face, and still sigh: "Do you smell it?"
Hearing Gong Jiayue say this, Mu Yan sniffed it carefully, "The smell of bird feces?" The smell of bird feces in the mountains and forests is not unusual, and I have smelled it all the way.
Gongjia Yue half-opened his eyes, and glanced at Mu Yan with an idiot's eyes, "Star butterfly larvae, it must be here!"
"Why didn't I smell it?" Mu Yan sniffed carefully again, but he still couldn't smell anything other than bird droppings, and turned his head to look at the others, who also showed the same puzzled expressions as him.
"You don't understand!" Gong Jia Yue showed a proud look on his face, "I can feel that there are excellent forging materials around here, and they must be star butterfly larvae!"
Many of the people in the Gongjia family have a natural intuition about forging materials, which makes it easier for them to find those hidden good materials than others, which is also the reason why the Gongjia family has a lot of strange forging techniques. There was also a reason why the ancestors of the Gongjia family found that certain beast blood could improve the quality of forging.
As he was talking, Mu Yan suddenly felt the wind on his head, looked up, and a black shadow fell down on his head, and quickly avoided it.
Boom!
The sound of heavy objects falling made the people around them who were looking for the star butterfly larvae look warily at the place where there was a commotion.
There was a very large eagle, lying on the ground several times higher than them, like a small mountain, and the surrounding trees were knocked down by it, but it seemed to be not lightly injured.
Mu Yan's eyes looked from the eagle's beak to its feathers to its claws, and then came to a conclusion: "An eagle." ”
An eagle that has become old and has the sharpness of an eagle in its eyes, and in other places, the sharp beak and claws that should have been its powerful weapons are no longer what they were in their glory days, as if they have been dulled and rusted and inferior gold objects can no longer be used.
Knowing that it was an old dragon bell and not lightly injured, it seemed that the giant eagle that couldn't even fly, the threat it could have to them was limited, and after seeing the situation clearly, everyone's tense nerves were also slightly relaxed, but they thought randomly, "This is also a good opportunity!"
The eagle that is dying of old age, it is also a fierce beast eagle, it is good food, they have never hunted such a big eagle.
Receiving the eyes of other people, Mu Yan also understood what he was thinking, and he also had the same thoughts, but for the sake of prudence, he still asked the people of the Yi family.
"Will killing the eagle affect the catching of star butterfly larvae?" asked Mu Yan.
Yi Qi looked impatiently at the eagle not far away, "If you want to kill, kill it!"
Instead, Yi Cong moved the jade on the plate below the order, "I think it's best not to do that." ”
"Why, what did you find?" asked Mu Yan.
Yi Cong shook his head, "I didn't know anything." ”
Afraid that others would misunderstand that they couldn't do divination because of what happened before, Yi Qidifficult next to him explained, "It's a bit strange here, so we can't do divination, you should be able to feel it if you feel it carefully." ”
"Definitely. Knowing that the two people of the Yi family were not making excuses, Mu Yan also really felt a pressure, as if it was pressure from above, as if there was a giant hand pressing down from above.
Since he couldn't divination, Mu Yan didn't want to let go of the meat in his mouth, so he drew his knife and planned to go over to kill the eagle. This is where the star butterfly larvae exist, and the eagle and the insect do not seem to coexist peacefully, and killing the eagle may also be beneficial for catching the star butterfly larvae.
The eagle also seemed to sense the murderous aura on Mu Yan's body, fluttering its wings to look at it, the sharp gaze of the eagle's eyes forced people to look directly, and the giant eagle that could grow to such an extent was also weather-beaten, and just one look was different from the other birds that Mu Yan encountered on the way.
But the more this happened, the more it aroused the killing intent in Mu Yan's heart.
"Old fellow!"
The sword light flashed, and with the murderous aura of Sen Han, he slashed over without any stop.
Clang!
The eagle's outstretched claws blocked Mu Yan's slash, but one of the toes on the eagle's claws was also cut off, and the pieces on the claws were shocked and fell off.
Just as Mu Yan thought, at this time, the eagle's claws were a rusty gold weapon that was about to be eliminated, and it was vulnerable! Perhaps, this eagle at its peak, the sword just now might not be able to cut off the toes on the eagle's talons so easily, and it might even only break the scale-like hard pieces on the outer layer of the toes, but isn't this already old? An eagle that is so old that it is dying can still rejuvenate itself?!
The other people around also gathered in this direction, and the giant eagle also realized that it could not stay here any longer, raised its claws to block Mu Yan's pressing blade, and flapped its wings violently.
Click, click, click-
The sound of branches breaking was dense and dense, like a torrential rain falling to the ground.
The air flow driven by the huge eagle wings was like a hurricane, which made Mu Yan's steps slow down for a moment.
"W-"
With a long eagle song, the giant eagle flapped its wings violently and rushed up, leaving the ground, the flying posture I don't know whether it was because of old age or because of serious injury, it looked much bulkier, Mu Yan thought several times that it would fall down again, but the giant eagle just flew up, and then stopped again on the mountain, the eagle claw grabbed on the rock of the steep mountain wall, and even because the eagle talon was injured, it was no longer sharp, and it slid down for a long time.
Mu Yan thought about whether to climb up the mountain and continue to chase and kill, anyway, the eagle seemed to have a short life, just as he was thinking so, he suddenly heard Gongjiayue roar, "The star butterfly larvae have come out!"
At this moment, Mu Yan can't take care of the giant eagle, it's still important to get down to business, wait for the blood of the star worm, and then kill the old and crippled eagle.
"Where?!" Mu Yan looked around.
"I feel it, they're coming out!" Gongjia breathed quickly and heavily, his face flushed, and his blood seemed to rush uncontrollably to his face, sneering and exuding heat. He had a sword in his hand, and his eyes were fixed on the ground at the foot of the mountain.
In this regard, he is more sensitive than the people of the Yi family, and the people of the Yi family want to know something, and they have to divination, but he doesn't need to. This is the natural instinct of the box people!
"It's coming!"
As soon as Gong Jiayue's words fell, Mu Yan heard a rustling sound, which seemed to come from the ground. Everyone held their breath and froze, for fear of disturbing such a movement, listening to the sound gradually getting louder, in the place where Gongjiayue looked, near the ground at the foot of the mountain, the ground under the grass was loose, the ground was raised, the clods of soil with grass were pushed out, a white round head drilled out of the ground, and then crawled out, three or four meters long insect body with the thickness of an adult's thigh.
"More than one!" Gong Jia became more and more excited.
After the first white worm that emerged, some snow-white long worms came out one after another in other places near the foot of the mountain.
"That's it!"
