Chapter Twenty-Six: Encounters
Suddenly, after a mournful roar from the sky, the Iron Pig suddenly turned around, ignoring the ancient stars who were still attacking, and rushed towards the outside of the woods. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Ran away?" Gu Xing was dumbfounded, after hearing the sorrowful roar of the ironclad pig, he thought that the other party was going to fight hard, and hurriedly concentrated on guard, but he didn't want it to turn around and run away.
In a daze, the ironclad pig had already rushed out of Gu Xing's sight and disappeared into the depths of the mountain range. Gu Xing hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to give up, this is not where he can come and go freely, the running iron-armored pig will inevitably attract the attention of martial artists and demon beasts, if he catches up, can he kill the iron-armored pig Not to mention, if he really encounters one or two two-star demon beasts, the consequences are really unimaginable.
"What a failure. Sighing, although Gu Xing was disappointed, it was not a pity, they held on for a long time, but in the end they were escaped by demon beasts, in fact, it is also a common thing for hunting teams.
Demon beasts are not stupid beasts, they have an extremely strong ability to judge the situation, and once the situation is unfavorable, they will not hesitate to turn around and run. Therefore, restricting the movement of the monster and preventing it from escaping is as important to the hunting team as it is to defeat the monster, because it is related to the success or failure of the hunt.
Suddenly, in the direction where the ironclad pig disappeared, a fierce and ferocious momentum suddenly broke out, and a brilliant sword light flashed, accompanied by the terrible screams of the ironclad pig.
"Anyone?" Gu Xing hesitated, but he still couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, and couldn't help but run over. Turning a corner, he was taken aback by the scene that came into view.
The heavy body of the ironclad pig was like a small mountain, lying on the ground, and the blood stains under his body continued to spread. A strong, bear-like man with a long knife in his hand was looking at the carcass of the ironclad pig with a relaxed face.
All around, four members of the hunting party in the same family attire were pointing and talking to each other. Their position seems to be random, but everyone's blind spot is covered by a teammate, and if any monster or person approaches, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be discovered.
"There are actually demon beasts that are automatically sent to the door, how do I feel that this ironclad pig has a panicked taste?" The man with the knife kicked the corpse of the ironclad pig and touched his chin.
"The boss is mighty, although this ironclad pig is only a one-star high-level demon beast, it is the top existence of a one-star demon beast, a fur comparable to iron armor, extremely hard, even if we win it, if we want to kill it, it will take a lot of effort and feet, I don't want the boss to kill it with a knife, it is really unstoppable. An emaciated man smirked.
"The mightiness of the fart, you don't look at the appearance of this iron-armored pig, it is obvious that he was beaten in a panic and did not choose a way, so he hit his head under my knife. The man with the knife scolded with a smile: "I obviously picked up a bargain." ”
"Hehe, even if it's an ironclad pig that escapes for his life, it's also an ironclad pig!" The emaciated man smiled, they were all experienced adventurers, and when they saw the appearance of the ironclad pig, they naturally understood the key.
"It's not difficult to defeat the Iron Pig, but it is extremely rare to be able to turn it around and run away with just its fists, and what is even more wonderful is that it will really be escaped by the Iron Pig, what kind of hunting team would make such a low-level mistake?" said another man strangely.
"Of course it's a rookie. The man with the knife said casually.
"Huh?" Gu Xing was startled and felt a slight movement coming from behind him. He was just curious, but he didn't think to meet the family's hunting party, so he kept hiding behind the tree, just intending to take a look from afar. Although the Iron Pig escaped, he knew that it would not be easy for him to kill him, and his leather armor was too thick and hard.
But just by looking at the face, the man with the knife has already killed the ironclad pig, and this strength is far from what he can achieve now.
This is definitely an elite-level family hunting team, and normally, the members of the family hunting team are between seven and ten people, but there are only five people in front of them.
"I can't stay here any longer, let's go!" made up his mind, Gu Xing turned around suddenly, and instead of choosing his own path, he ran diagonally towards the woods.
As his figure disappeared, a graceful figure suddenly appeared where he had been, looking at his departing figure, shaking his head slightly.
"Ran away?" The man with the knife and the other four hunting team members did not rush to clean up the corpse of the ironclad pig, but surrounded them, looked at the graceful figure who shook his head alone, and said strangely.
"A teenager, who doesn't look very old. The graceful figure is a beautiful woman, dressed in family attire that is no different from the others, indicating that she is also a member of the hunting team.
"It should be a young man who is not willing to be lonely, he goes out of the town to hunt alone, and his courage is not small, but his experience is a little worse, no wonder he can't stop the ironclad pig who escaped. The man with the knife nodded, affirmatively.
"Even the ironclad pig has given up, and he is also a master who is not short of money!" said the emaciated man. "It's also a one-star high-level demon beast, and this pair of fangs alone is worth a few hundred taels of silver!"
"Not necessarily. The graceful woman shook her head and said, "He will follow to check, which means that he doesn't want to give up this ironclad pig, but he just doesn't want to meet us." Moreover, I suspect that he noticed me and the leopard, so he left categorically. ”
On the other side, another member of the hunting team appeared, nodding silently to the group. The position where he appeared happened to be at odds with the graceful woman, and if Gu Xing reacted a little slowly, he would inevitably be stopped by the two of them.
But now, the position of the two of them happened to be opposite to the direction in which Gu Xing left, which undoubtedly proved that Gu Xing had indeed discovered the traces of the two of them, and would leave before their encirclement was completed. And the direction they chose made it too late for them to catch up.
"There are definitely not many people in the family who can defeat the Iron Pig alone and can detect your approach. The man with the knife said regretfully: "It's a pity that he ran too fast, otherwise we would have been able to say hello." Perhaps, there will be one more alternate player. ”
"It's a good candidate. Several members of the team nodded.
Gu Xing didn't know how the members of the hunting team discussed him, and away from the family hunting team, he continued to go deep into the mountains, searching for traces of demon beasts and medicinal herbs. However, after the Ironclad Pig escaped, luck seemed to run away from him.
Half an hour later, he ran into a group of one-star mid-level demon beasts with poisonous fangs, and was deeply surrounded by wolves. After a hard battle, he died nine times for life, and after severely injuring two fanged wolves in succession, he finally got away with it and ran wildly over several mountains before he escaped the pursuit of the wolves.
After finding a hidden cave and hiding and cultivating for a long time, Gu Xing shot again, but this time he encountered a two-star low-level demon beast Earth Bear, Gu Xing fought for a long time, and after the Earth Bear broke out of the Demon Yuan, he was defeated after all, and finally escaped with serious injuries. Fortunately, the Earth Bear was not a monster beast known for its speed, and he escaped after all.
At this time, it was getting late, Gu Xinglian was defeated, his stomach was empty, but his spirit was very strong. Although he encountered demon beasts twice in a row, and in the end he ended up being injured and fleeing for his life, but the bloody battle with the powerful demon beast brought him a more amazing improvement than before.
In an unknown mountain stream, the ancient astrolabe sat underwater, holding its breath and concentrating, and above the mountain stream, a bald eagle hovered high, searching for his traces.
Soon after getting rid of the Earth Bear, Gu Xing, who had not healed from his injuries, was targeted by the bald eagle, facing this two-star intermediate demon beast, and it was also a bird of prey that could fly in the air, Gu Xing could only run again, and finally jumped into the mountain stream to hide.
"In the face of a strong enemy above you, the feeling that life and death are only in an instant is really intoxicating. "Even in the face of crises and brushes with death again and again, Gu Xing deeply understood the danger of the Heavenly Trench Mountain Range, but he also gained a lot.
There are five high-grade medicinal herbs, seven intermediate-grade medicinal herbs, and as for the more common low-grade medicinal herbs, there are countless ones found along the way. He just chose those that needed according to his own needs.
These herbs alone, if they were given to the family, would be worth more than one hundred contribution points, which was equivalent to half a year of Gu Xing's efforts.
With a deep understanding of medicinal properties, coupled with his keen soul perception ability, Gu Xing can be said to be like a fish in water in the mountains, and the amount of medicinal materials collected by one person even exceeds the harvest of ordinary hunting teams for half a month.
For these herbs, Gu Xing also paid a lot of money, even if he was besieged by the poisonous fanged wolf, he fought with the earth bear again, and when he was injured and ran away, he was targeted by the more ruthless bald eagle, which can be described as nine deaths. However, it is all worth it compared to the gains.
"It's getting late, and the moat mountains at night are far more dangerous than during the day, so you have to find a safe place to spend the night. ”
Spending the night in the mountains is a very dangerous thing, especially for a lone warrior like Gu Xing, no one keeps vigil, who knows if he will be taken and eaten by a passing demon beast while he is asleep. There are many more monsters that are active at night than during the day.
