The demon beast is a mutated beast, each level is divided into upper, middle and lower three levels, the first-level demon beast is equivalent to the cultivator of the mortal realm, and the second-level demon beast is equivalent to the Dao realm.
As soon as he entered the barren mountain, the Spider Phantom commanded: "With your cultivation, you can only deal with first-class inferior demon beasts, so don't venture deep first, and look for it within a hundred miles of the periphery first." All you have to do is run fast, and as long as you get within a few dozen feet of the meteorite, I can sense the meteorite qi, and I will alert you then. ”
Zhang Le's confidence increased sharply, and he said happily: "Okay." ”
In this way, it will undoubtedly save a lot of time.
The spider phantom said: "In addition, you have to remember that when you encounter demon beasts with abnormal hair and golden yellow, you should not avoid or kill them, but follow them, because this kind of demon beast is likely to absorb the golden qi." ”
Zhang Le nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Rubbing his palms, Zhang Lesa ran into the dense forest.
Zhang Le shuttled through the dense forest at the fastest speed, closed his eyes at the same time, and injected a trace of internal force into the demon pupil, although it was late at night, but in his opinion, the dense forest was like day, and it was clear everywhere.
Soon it was early in the morning.
The old trees and green vines in the dense forest, the barren grass and thorns are all over, Zhang Le has run more than thirty miles away, but during the period, the spider phantom did not say a word, obviously did not sense the meteoric qi.
On the way, Zhang Le encountered a first-level demon beast named Purple Raccoon, but where did he have the heart to waste time to kill? After turning a corner, he avoided the past, and the Purple Fox also seemed to feel that Zhang Le was not easy to follow, and he was not entangled.
This night, Zhang Le did not encounter any danger, but he also found nothing.
At noon, Zhang Le picked some wild fruits and continued to move forward.
The forest became more and more intertwined, and although it was already dawn, the forest was still dark.
At this time, the spider phantom suddenly said, "Slow." ”
"What?" Zhang Le's heart jumped, and he immediately stopped.
The spider phantom didn't answer for a while, as if he was sensing carefully: "You go to the forest on the left and take a look, there seems to be a meteorite there." She wondered, "But...... Why is this aura so weak?"
Before the spider phantom finished speaking, Zhang Le had already rushed over.
Jumping out of more than 100 meters, Zhang Le stopped suddenly, looked at everything in front of him, and was stunned.
There was a terrifying sight in front of me.
Within dozens of zhang, dozens of thick ancient trees fell to the ground in a fan-shape, some were supported by the big trees on the periphery, only half of them were crooked, but the broken thick branches and leaves were sprinkled all over the ground, and in the central area, all the vegetation was gone, only a huge soil pit.
Dog's breakfast.
Only a meteor falling to the ground can cause such a scenario.
Zhang Le reacted and rushed over with great joy.
The soil pit is like a huge bowl, there is a deep pit like an abyss in the center, two zhang square, the lower it is, the narrower it is, the deeper it is, obviously the meteorite is in it, Zhang Le came to the pit, looked down, and pinched his sleeves, which was about to jump down.
Suddenly, I heard the spider phantom say coldly: "No need to jump, the meteorite here has been taken away." ”
Zhang Le's heart sank suddenly: "What did you say?!"
"You take a closer look at this pit. ”
Zhang Le looked at it, and his heart suddenly cooled.
Only then did he see that there were a large number of traces of toe kicking out of the pit wall, and then looking at the edge of the pit, there were two deep marks, which were obviously pulled by ropes, which was very clear, and someone had climbed down before.
The Spider Phantom lamented, "I said how could the meteorite qi here be so weak...... It's a pity. ”
Zhang Le stayed for a long time: "Are there other people who are also looking for meteorites?"
He had been quite confident, but at this time, he suddenly felt a great sense of crisis, and looked at the vague traces left by the pit, these people obviously came prepared, and they had left a few days ago.
The spider phantom said: "Even if no one else is involved in the meteorite, half a month is already very tight, and now it seems that it is ......" she sighed, "You have to hurry." ”
Zhang Le didn't say a word, turned around and ran towards the forest.
......
Evening of the fifth day.
The Spider Phantom asked, "Are you going to keep looking?"
In the past five days, Zhang Le has killed two demon beasts, and his luck is not bad, during which he has encountered three places where meteorites have fallen, but the meteorites have already been taken away without exception.
Zhang Le nodded, gritted his teeth, and said, "Keep looking! If there is still no harvest tomorrow morning, I will enter the depths of the barren mountain, and I don't believe that these people dare to enter within a hundred miles of the barren mountain." ”
Calculating the time, there are only less than ten days before the Labyrinth Killing Array opens, and the hope of finding enough meteorites is extremely slim, but Zhang Le is still unwilling to give up.
It was getting dark.
Zhang Le was still shuttling swiftly through the forest.
At this moment, a black shadow suddenly burst out from the bushes next to him and jumped towards Zhang Le.
"Iron wolf!" Zhang Le was taken aback and hurriedly stepped aside.
Under the ability of the demon pupil's prediction, Zhang Le just glanced at it, and accurately judged the direction where the iron wolf pounced, and dodged without danger.
The Iron Wolf is a first-class inferior demon beast, with a pitch-black body, hard as pig iron, and its only weakness is in its abdomen.
The iron wolf threw himself into the grass, turned around, opened his mouth full of sharp teeth, and jumped at Zhang Le again, biting directly into Zhang Le's throat.
At this time, Zhang Le had already seen the appearance of this iron wolf, this iron wolf was a little weird, it was pitch black hair, but it had a strange golden yellow, which made Zhang Le's heart move.
In the face of the iron wolf's hideous attack, Zhang Le swooped down and hit the iron wolf's lower abdomen with a punch.
"Whew!"
With a terrible wolf howl, the iron wolf was volleyed up by this punch, and rolled down in the bushes, it did not dare to fight again, and rolled up, and ran towards the forest with its tail between its legs.
"Keep up. The Spider Phantom busied.
In fact, before the spider phantom could speak, Zhang Le had already quickly followed away.
And the beginning of the spider phantom made Zhang Le even more sure that the golden yellow in the hair of this iron wolf was transformed after absorbing the golden qi.
Thinking that it was finally possible to find a meteorite that had not yet been taken away, Zhang Le's spirit was shocked.
After a short time, Zhang Le chased him to an open field overgrown with grass.
The iron wolf frantically fleeing in front of him made a sharp turn and scurried straight into a dense forest in front of him.
Zhang Le quickly followed.
At this time, at the moment when Zhang Le ran into the forest, he suddenly heard a surprised sound from the forest, followed by a panicked dodge pace, the fist wind sounded, and the iron wolf let out a terrible howl, and after a sound of rolling in the grass, the iron wolf fled away.
Zhang Le frowned, there was someone in the forest!
And judging this person's cultivation, he should only be one level lower than himself.
At this time, I only heard the spider phantom say: "You don't have to chase that iron wolf anymore, I have sensed the meteoric qi, and it is in the forest ahead, but it seems that someone is already digging." ”
