043. Black Springs Madness
Walking into the forest, the trees are still a little sparse.
Probably due to geological reasons, this forest has never been dense, and the sunlight shines on the ground through the gaps in the leaves, which is somewhat dazzling.
This time, when Zuoqiao came to this forest, he found that there were more deep or shallow cracks in the ground, and many trees were torn and their rhizomes fell to the ground, revealing large areas of bare soil.
These cracks are like spider webs staggered on the ground, most of them are relatively shallow, only a few tens of centimeters deep, but some are very deep and very wide, ordinary beasts will fall into the cracks when they step on them, and the longitudinal depth is even deeper, and the left bridge lies on the edge of the crack and looks down with bright lighting and can't see the end.
Along the way, the two of them didn't encounter any powerful monsters, but they met a few miscellaneous fish explorers with bad intentions, but they lost their minds after seeing the emblem of Fanyue Academy on Zuoqiao, and honestly got out of the way, after all, the name of the first academy in Luoyan City is not for fun.
The road was safe and sound, Zuoqiao put more energy on finding the black spring, and the supper uncle ate too much at noon, and now he didn't want to move, so he didn't transform into a patrol to help Zuoqiao.
It was this negligence that brought a lot of trouble to the left bridge and the rose.
Black Springs usually only appear around areas with deep cracks, and although Zuoqiao is only here for the initial inspection, he must at least search all these areas with deep cracks.
And just when Zuoqiao and Rose were both walking forward along the crack with their heads down, a black shadow suddenly burst out of the quagmire not far away, and rushed straight towards the two of them with lightning speed, and a fishy smell suddenly filled the forest!
"Be careful!" At the moment of crisis, it was still the first time that the supper discovered the danger. At this moment, Supper and Left Bridge are once again one, and in the case of the same soul, Left Bridge controls Supper's body like an arm and fingers, and turns into a shield in front of the black shadow at the last moment.
Left Bridge hugged the rose and retreated into the distance, and Supper was slapped into the tree and turned back into a cat shape, shaking his hair, and the fart did not jump back to the shoulder of Left Bridge.
Only then did the two of them see the appearance of the black shadow clearly.
The monster was the size of a calf, covered in long hair, shaped somewhat like a long-legged lion, with a tiger-like head and a single horn, a whip-like tail two meters long, and a barb at the end of the tail gleaming silver.
This monster was originally called the Thorn Lion, and it was not a very powerful monster. But it was wrapped in a faint layer of black mist at the moment, and its body was more than half expanded than normal, which was obviously not a normal state.
"Okay, there's no need to look for it now," Zuo Qiao hung a wry smile, "The black spring has come to the door." ”
As mentioned earlier, the Black Spring is simply a water source contaminated with the blood of the Old Gods, and if a living body drinks this spring water, it will be controlled by the Old God and become a kind of mindless monster. There are two situations to be subdivided here - if a human or other intelligent humanoid creature drinks the black spring, then the appearance of the drinker will not change much, and if it is a demon beast that drinks the black spring, then the demon beast will be stimulated by the blood of the ancient gods, and then mutate and go berserk, and its strength is far greater than before!
Obviously, the black mist monster in front of Zuoqiao is the product of drinking the black spring, and it will frantically attack all living things it sees, and because it has lost its mind, it will ignore fear and pain, and will not die!
Of course, if there is only one, then with the current strength of Zuoqiao and the rose with two realms and two layers, it will not be difficult to deal with, but the problem is that this thorn lion is a social creature
The thorn lion attempted to sneak up, and the quagmire behind it immediately rolled up like a boiling pot, and one after another black hedged lions came out of the mire, their scarlet eyes fixed on the left bridge and roses.
"I'm in trouble now!" Rose frowned slightly, "It seems that the black spring in this forest should have appeared for a while, and it actually infected a whole colony of ten thorny lions, which is a bit difficult to deal with."
The whole ten smoky thorn lions stood there very oppressively, blocking the road in front of the two of them, and if they fought hard, it was likely to be a lose-lose situation.
However, the focus of Zuoqiao's attention at this time was
"This waist is so soft and thin!" Zuo Qiao held the rose with one hand, and he didn't plan to let go when his palm was on someone's waist, his face was full of idiots, "Damn, my left hand is out of control!"
Rose didn't notice anything wrong, and said seriously: "I should be able to deal with six heads, and the remaining four are okay for you, right?"
Left Bridge is trying to fight with his left hand and not let it move up
"Have you touched enough?" Rose finally found that she was still in Zuoqiao's arms, and smiled charmingly and hooked Zuoqiao's chin and said, "Do you need my sister to expose her waist and touch you twice?~~"
Although the tone was coquettish, the hidden murderous aura shook Zuoqiao.
"Hehe, mistake, my hand suddenly cramped and I couldn't move" Zuo Qiao smiled and moved his hand, and finally looked at the ten thorny lions on the opposite side.
Taking advantage of the fact that the other party had no intention of making another move, Zuoqiao pulled the rose and quietly took a few steps back, retreating in front of a few towering ancient trees that were almost enclosed.
Zuo Qiao looked at the location of several ancient trees around him, nodded slightly with satisfaction, and said to Rose: "Let's stay here, I have a way to divide the battlefield." ”
As he spoke, the thorned lion that had just attacked the left bridge pounced again, its movements like a starting pistol, and the remaining nine followed it closely.
"Supper, quick!" said that it was too late, but it was too fast, and Zuoqiao threw the supper out.
I saw that the supper swirled in mid-air and turned into a pool of black slime, and then deformed again at the moment of landing, turning into a large stone that was firmly blocked between the two trees, connecting with several surrounding trees, turning the terrain into a pocket-like shape.
These ten thorn lions were fat and strong, each like a calf, and they could only rush over at most two when they were stuck by the trees, and they were all huddled together, and several of the stinging lions that were rushing violently hit the stone headlong, so that they fainted.
Rose was held in Zuoqiao's arms before, and she didn't see the scene of Supper transforming into a shield, and she was also shocked when she saw the process of Supper's transformation for the first time. But this is a world full of magic and unscience, and there are many strange things, and it seems that there is nothing surprising about the big cat.
Rose just glanced at the big rock that had become supper, and didn't miss the moment when a few thorny lions were in trouble. She shook her arm, and the firewood knife was touched by her out of nowhere, and she waved the knife to stop the thorny lion who rushed to the front.
The size of the thorn lions has become a burden at this moment, even if they rush fiercely, they can't be squeezed by the trees, and they only need to face two enemies in a short time.
To say that the demon beast of the Thorn Lion was originally just a battle scum, even if it drank the Black Spring and went berserk, the strength of a single person was like that, without the advantage of numbers, as long as you pay attention to the tail behind it, there is basically no threat.
Rose's wood knife was slashing at its claws, almost cutting off half of it, but as if it was fine, it swooped forward, and the whip-like tail behind it pierced Rose's chest.
However, this hand rose had already been wary, and her toes floated back half a meter on her toes, avoiding the tail while raising the knife and falling down, and directly cut off the tail by the roots!
One move is successful, and the rose offensive is even more ferocious. Her body continued to ignite with peach-colored illusory fire, and the temperament phantom and the pillar of momentum appeared beside her at the same time, and the charm of the originally charming rose was raised to a higher level under the full firepower, even those crazy beasts were stunned when they saw her.
The first realm and the second realm are qualitative changes, and when they reach the second realm, they can use the aura of heaven and earth to control some extraordinary powers. Due to the limited energy of people and the different physiques of people, most cultivators can only choose one energy system for cultivation, which is similar to the concept of professional division. And Rose chose the most reckless warrior route, controlling the fighting spirit.
The warrior was originally very strong in a head-on confrontation, and Rose knew by looking at her appearance that she was the kind of talented player, even if she broke her arm, her strength was a cut above that of ordinary players of the same realm.
The temperament and momentum were released, which meant that Rose was in full swing, but she didn't speak, pose, or use any secret skills, and the momentum pillar of light remained in a yellow state.
But even so, the speed of Rose's shot was terrifyingly fast, almost in the blink of an eye, Rose passed by the thorny lion, and the firewood knife left a half-foot-deep wound on the side of the thorny lion, and the black gas around the wound was still entangled with the peach-colored fighting qi left by the rose, constantly making a sizzling sound.
