Chapter 168 Underwater Starry Sky
Now that they know that there are mutant monsters in this area, the two teams have to become more cautious when they move forward, fortunately, there is the radar of Tianyin, which can detect those approaching dangers, so that people will not be in a tense state at all times, but no one dares to relax, although they do not need to observe the surrounding situation at any time, but they must be ready for battle at any time, because those raiding monsters are all fast-moving guys, from Tianyin warning to being attacked, there is not much preparation time.
"Everyone should be careful, this is not far from the last time we encountered the mutated four-eyed fire-tailed tiger, this should have entered its prey range, everyone should be careful. Han Qikong reminded everyone, and at the same time, he took out a bottle and sprayed it on the ground nearby, and then, a faint fishy smell began to spread.
"What are you spraying, why do you stink so much. Feng Bo covered his nose and said while helping Tianyin fan the wind.
"It's a carrion agent, and for those who are not scavengers, it's a nuisance to the smell, and it will make us less troublesome. Han Qikong put away the bottle and explained.
Regarding Han Qikong's explanation, although the storm couldn't stand the smell, he didn't continue to say anything.
"What are we going to do now, you don't stop here for lunch, I don't think anyone will be able to eat it. Sima Shuyuan also asked while fanning the wind, obviously not very satisfied with the taste.
"We need to do some traps here, and if we encounter any danger later, we can retreat from here, so I hope everyone will make a note of the location and arrangements here, and don't step on it by mistake when the time comes. After Han Qikong finished speaking, he and a few companions got busy.
For this situation, Sima Shuyuan was not stingy, and laid out some of her own traps. After carefully smelling the smell, Mr. An took out some bottles and cans, and after some preparation, dropped a drop of liquid under his nose, and after experimenting with the effect, he dropped a drop under everyone's nose.
After dripping Mr. An's potion, Feng Bo found that the smell that had been very pungent before suddenly disappeared, and he immediately felt that the air around him had become fresher.
"I actually forgot that Mr. An is a pharmacist, and I am really lucky!" "The storm finally got rid of the stench, and couldn't help but say happily.
Soon, Sima Shuyuan and the others also set up the trap, leaving a way out, and after telling everyone where the trap was, several people began to move on, and there were several traps along the way.
Soon, several people stopped again, this time not to set a trap, but Tianyin noticed some anomalies and told everyone to stop and be on guard.
"How far is this from the last place you met that shadowless demon cat?" asked Sima Shuyuan to Han Qikong.
"It's not far away, it should be three or four hundred meters ahead, there is a small pond, and at the edge of the pond, there is the kind of ore that our mission requires, but it is all scattered and time-consuming to collect. Han Qikong pointed to a place in front of him and said, but unfortunately, they couldn't see it from their position at this time, and they were all blocked by trees.
"Pond, how can there be a pond here, judging by the environment here, although the ground here may contain a lot of water, but the ground should be occupied by big trees, and there is a place to form a pond?" Wu said worriedly.
"We don't know why, the last time we came, we were attacked before we had time to take a closer look, so we don't know why. Han Qikong was also unable to give an accurate answer to Wu Wei's question, which made the pond even more strange and mysterious, and the unknown often means danger.
"Tianyin, what is the situation now?" asked Teacher An to Tianyin, who had asked everyone to stop.
"It should be a tiger demon beast hunting, and the prey is a wild boar that is running around, and it is impossible to determine their direction at all, so it seems that we will have to wait a little longer before we can get around. Tianyin explained.
"Tiger demon beast, could it be the four-eyed fire-tailed tiger we met before. Han Qikong asked a little nervously.
"It shouldn't be, the energy level of this tiger demon beast is only level five, I don't think your instructor can't even deal with this kind of demon beast!"
"It doesn't seem that the mutated four-eyed fire-tailed tiger has an energy level of seven, and it is very difficult, and ordinary people of level eight may not be able to kill. Han Qikong breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, it seemed that the mutated four-eyed fire-tailed tiger they had encountered before had indeed put a lot of pressure on them.
However, at this moment, Tianyin suddenly looked behind them to the left, and after listening carefully for a while, he suddenly said eagerly to everyone: "Be careful, another tiger demon beast is coming, and it is moving quickly towards here, and it seems to be a fire attribute, I can hear the sound of the surrounding trees baking and popping when it is running." ”
"It's the mutated four-eyed fire-tailed tiger. Han Qikong said affirmatively.
"It looks like we've been hit by the pond fish, and the big four-eyed cat should be targeting the tiger and the boar that are hiding from the cat, but we're in his way. Sima Shuyuan instantly judged the form in front of her.
"Everybody up the tree. Teacher An looked at a big tree beside him and said to everyone.
"No, the tiger's perception is so strong that it can't escape its nose in a tree. Han Qikong reminded him.
"Don't worry, I have a solution. Teacher An didn't explain in detail, just took out a red bottle and threw it into the distance, and everyone heard Teacher An say this, and they no longer hesitated, and all climbed to a tree.
After Mr. An arrived at the tree, he mixed the liquid in the two medicine bottles together, and soon, bubbles began to bubble in the bottles, and soon a mist formed around it, enveloping everyone in it, and a very fragrant smell permeated the forest, occupying everyone's sense of smell.
"Everyone, don't make a sound, and hold your breath to minimize the spread of your own flavor. Teacher An reminded everyone. Everyone knew that this was to avoid the perception of the four-eyed fire-tailed tiger, so they immediately held their breath, and even adjusted their heartbeat, waiting quietly.
Soon, everyone saw a line of fire stretching towards here, and a pale yellow tiger with a flaming tail was running towards it, as if it was not worried about the prey escaping at all.
This is more than three meters long, the whole body is dark yellow, but it is red tiger stripes, and between its walks, the tiger stripes on its body seem to burn, constantly beating. This mutated four-eyed fire-tailed tiger does not have four eyes, but has a black spot on each of the eyes, which is slightly smaller than the eyes below, but as long as you look at it from the front, the first thing you notice must be its four eyes.
The four-eyed fire-tailed tiger thought about another tiger that was hunting and walked with a wild boar, but its long tail was a real burning flame, dragging it on the ground, leaving a scorch mark on the rotting wood on the ground.
When the four-eyed fire-tailed tiger came to the tree where Feng Bo and the others were, he glanced left and right with some confusion, as if he was a little puzzled.
And the sudden stop of the four-eyed fire-tailed tiger also made the storm hiding in the tree raise the throat of several people, especially the four-eyed fire-tailed tiger under his feet turned around a few times below, and when he raised his head and looked up, everyone thought that they had been discovered and were about to be attacked.
However, fortunately, the four-eyed fire-tailed tiger only turned around, did not find anything abnormal, and walked towards the front without looking back.
It wasn't until the four-eyed fire-tailed tiger walked away and could no longer see the figure that Feng Bo and the others came down from the tree, and after Tianyin carefully confirmed that there was no danger around, Sima Shuyuan opened his mouth and asked Han Qikong.
"What do we do now, do we go to the pond you said and look for the shadowless demon cat, or follow this four-eyed fire-tailed tiger. ”
"Go to that pond first, after all, there is a good chance that the thing is in the nest of the Shadowless Demon Cat, and then find the Shadowless Demon Cat first. As for this four-eyed fire-tailed tiger, let's talk about it later when we have time! I'm sure we'll settle accounts with it ourselves before we graduate. After thinking about it for a while, although Han Qikong was a little unwilling, he could still judge the difference in strength between the two sides, so although he was angry at the four-eyed fire-tailed tiger, he still gave up decisively.
"Wise choice, that four-eyed fire-tailed tiger is not something we can deal with at all, it seems that you have not been carried away by hatred, and you are not an idiot who thinks that you have the aura of the protagonist. Teacher An affirmed Han Qikong's decision.
Now that they had made their decision, they no longer hesitated, and everyone began to move towards the pond, but instead of walking in a straight line towards the pond, they made a detour from the right side to avoid the four-eyed fire-tailed tiger that had just passed.
Since the distance was not too far, even after some detours, several people quickly reached the edge of the pond, and this pond that should not have appeared also appeared in the eyes of Fengbo and others for the first time.
From the outside, it is an ordinary small pond, because it is surrounded by many large trees, so the water in the pond looks green, and there is no wind here, so the whole water surface is still without waves, like an emerald set in the ground.
"Is this the pond you are talking about? Isn't there anything special?" Wu Wei was a little curious before he saw it, but now that he saw it with his own eyes, he couldn't help but be disappointed, because this was an ordinary pond.
"Maybe the special thing about this pond is in the water, so Wu Wei, you can jump down and take a look, we will wait for you here. The turmoil encouraged Wu Wei to say.
"I want to jump and jump myself. Wu Wei said angrily, but he was also curious about the water in this pond, so he found a small stone from his side and threw it into the pond.
"It seems to be very deep. Looking at the sinking stones, Sima Shuyuan said with some surprise, in the minds of several people, this should be a depression, and some water accumulated when it rained to form this small pond. However, now it seems that this is obviously not the case, and such a deep pond can no longer be called a pond, it can be said to be a deep pool.
Moreover, when a few people walked in and leaned out to look inside, they would find that there were many crystalline ores on the inner wall of the pool, which were embedded in it, making the whole pool look like a starry sky.
