Chapter 60: The Miniature Ancient Beast
Hong Menglong pressed Zhou Ming, who was about to come forward to investigate, and motioned for him to continue to look down, and sure enough, after another half a minute, the fleeing lizard-shaped beast walked back leisurely, shaking the small short tail that was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye at the lion-headed dog corpses all over the ground, as if laughing at their ignorance, and then opened its mouth and tore off a delicious piece of meat from the nearest lion-headed dog corpse and swallowed it into its belly.
"If it's just because the beast is strong, the Star Soul Forest doesn't deserve to be called one of the three great Jedi," Hong Menglong and Zhou Ming quietly left the lizard-shaped beast that was eating after seeing the roles of the predator and the prey reversed," The Star Soul Forest is called the paradise of fierce beasts, because the fierce beasts here will have a high probability of mutation, and they will evolve a lot of tricks beyond your imagination, just like the kettle vine gecko just now, the gecko's tail was originally a means of escape, but in the hands of the barnacle gecko, it has become an unexpected hunting method, where can any fierce beast think about it, the tail of the barnacle gecko will contain a large amount of toxins?"
"Alright, this is the last lesson I'll teach you before entering the Silvermoon Forest, and then, it's up to you. Hong Menglong said and disappeared directly.
In the following time, Zhou Ming began his Star Soul Forest retreat cultivation, this time it was even more boring than before in the Silver Moon Forest, because if there was no high-ranking fierce beast, even Hong Menglong would not appear in front of Zhou Ming, and the blockade order of the Star Soul Forest also prevented the arrival of other hunters, which made Zhou Ming, who wanted to talk to someone, completely break his mind. Practicing knives, he arranged his temporary residence at night, lay down on the branches of the trees to rest, pinched his fingers and counted the days, and in the blink of an eye, twenty days passed.
In the past 20 days, Zhou Ming has brushed shoulders with death several times, the most dangerous one is that Zhou Ming found a wild fruit, and saw that a fierce beast had eaten it and thought it was non-poisonous, but after eating it, he was in a coma for a whole day, if it wasn't for Hong Menglong who had been guarding him, this day was enough for the passing beast to eat the bones left, it turned out that this wild fruit itself was poisonous, but the fierce beast that ate the wild fruit was able to store the toxins in the wild fruit in its own poison sac and turn it into its own use, which hurt Zhou Ming, as for being chased by the fierce beasts of the lower four or five stars, this is simply commonplace in the Star Soul Forest......
"Xiao Ming," On this day, when Zhou Ming took out a knife from a strange angle and killed a low-ranking three-star ghost gibbon in one fell swoop, Hong Menglong suddenly appeared in front of him, "Have you stayed enough in the Star Soul Forest?"
"Enough of it...... Teacher, you mean!" After these twenty days of retreat training, Zhou Ming's complexion has obviously darkened a lot, his face, which was still slightly immature, has been portrayed with a bit of mature edges and corners, the muscles on his arms are fuller, and the Earth Demon Double Knife is held in his hand, which is no different from when he held the ordinary Double Knife before.
"Congratulations, qualified!" Hong Menglong praised Zhou Ming with such a serious attitude for the first time, "There is nothing else in the forest, this roast leg of lamb can be regarded as a reward for you." ”
"Hmm, teacher, am I really, qualified?" Zhou Ming seemed to be half a beat slower in his reaction to talking to people after twenty days of training without seeing outsiders, and for a long time, he couldn't believe that Hong Menglong would praise him like this.
"If you don't eat it, if you don't eat it, I'll eat it. Hong Menglong glanced at Zhou Ming and pretended to put the roast leg of lamb into his mouth.
"Eat, eat, thank you, teacher!" Zhou Ming suddenly snatched the roast leg of mutton, and then bit it up, these twenty days of survival in the wild made Zhou Ming deeply understand the importance of food, this time snatching food from Hong Menglong's hands, and even having a bit of a fierce beast fighting for food.
"After eating, it's time for us to go home...... Hong Menglong let out a long sigh, this time the three-month training trip was finally coming to an end.
"Go home ......" Hearing these two words, Zhou Ming didn't even eat the food in his hand, tears welled up in his eyes, and he was finally going home.
"Who!" Hong Menglong turned around suddenly, Zhou Ming's reaction speed was not much slower than Hong Menglong's, because on the side of the two, a fierce beast only the size of Zhou Ming's palm suddenly appeared, suspended in the air and looked at the two of them, more precisely, looking at Zhou Ming.
"What kind of fierce beast is this?" Zhou Ming didn't rush forward just because this fierce beast was small, the life in the Star Soul Forest had taught him to be wary of any fierce beast he didn't understand.
"I don't know. In Zhou Ming's surprised eyes, the well-informed Hong Menglong actually shook his head, and at the same time put his hand on the hilt of his sword, making a solemn appearance, "Xiao Ming, stand behind me, if I fight with it in a while, you will desperately run to Star Soul Town, and run to the silver tiger for help." ”
This time it really scared Zhou Ming, he had never seen Hong Menglong so cautious, so he couldn't help but take a more look at this fierce beast that made Hong Menglong so cautious, this time Zhou Ming actually found that although there was only a distance of less than ten meters between him and this fierce beast, he couldn't see the appearance of this fierce beast no matter how he looked at it, or he could clearly see it, but he would forget the appearance of this fierce beast in the next moment.
Zhou Ming cautiously retreated behind Hong Menglong, but the little guy's eyes were locked on Zhou Ming, and at the moment when Zhou Ming's figure was completely blocked by Hong Menglong, the little guy roared angrily, and at the same time, an invisible shock wave was emitted from it, spreading out in all directions in a ball.
At this moment, the heavens and the earth shook.
This is not an exaggeration, because at this moment, Zhou Ming did feel that the heavens and the earth were shaken, and Hong Menglong's wind blade was released at the first time, and as soon as the blade vibrate, the wind blade converged on it. Hong Menglong didn't have time to draw the knife to charge his strength, so he could only directly slash at the invisible shock wave with the knife.
"Boom!" The invincible wind blade could only tear a small hole with difficulty in the face of the shock wave, protecting this small area behind Hong Menglong.
"Hurry up!" Hong Menglong shouted behind him, he had already felt that the wind elemental power on the knife body was consumed at an exaggerated speed, this kind of persistence might not last a few seconds, so he hurriedly let Zhou Ming escape.
However, the mini fierce beast seemed to be very dissatisfied with Hong Menglong's interception of its shockwave, and its body shook, and the intensity of the shockwave skyrocketed, and the wind blade on Hong Menglong's knife body was scattered in an instant, and the violent shockwave directly hit Hong Menglong's chest.
The shock wave finally exploded, and the earth-shattering loud noise and dazzling white light made Zhou Ming, who couldn't withstand this kind of battle intensity, faint directly.
Hong Menglong's windbreaker was torn to pieces in an instant, revealing the breastplate underneath, but even the ground-level protective gear on Hong Menglong's body could not block the impact of the shock wave, and in the next second, it was blown apart and scattered in the sky with the windbreaker, and in the next second, Hong Menglong, who spewed out a stream of blood, also flew backwards as if he had been hit badly.
When Zhou Ming opened his eyes again, the first thing that caught his eye was a big pit, he and Hong Menglong were lying on the edge of this big pit, Hong Menglong, who had suffered the shock wave explosion head-on, was still unconscious at the moment, fortunately, he was not blown to pieces like his windbreaker and breastplate, and there were no obvious external injuries except for the scratches on his chest.
"Teacher?" Zhou Ming tried to wake up Hong Menglong, and after he snorted three times, Hong Menglong slowly opened his eyes.
"Are you hurt?" Hong Menglong's first sentence was to ask Zhou Ming, which made Zhou Ming very moved, just now, Hong Menglong protected Zhou Ming with his own life, which made Zhou Ming safe.
"Teacher, I'm fine. Zhou Ming replied.
"What about the beast?" Hong Menglong continued to ask, but Zhou Ming looked around, but there was no trace of the mini beast.
"It's gone, teacher, you're not seriously injured. Zhou Ming said with concern, and at the same time picked up the Earth Demon Twin Knife, and looked around vigilantly, this is the Star Soul Forest, making such a big move, it is difficult to guarantee that no fierce beast will come over to find out.
As a result, the beast did not wait, but waited for two people.
"Lord Wind Soul, what's wrong?" A middle-aged man dressed in white carried a huge weapon and another middle-aged man dressed in black rushed from the forest on the south side of Zhou Ming, and when he was far away, he heard the man in white shouting Hong Menglong's name.
"I'm rubbing, how did you attract black and white impermanence!" Zhou Ming burst into a foul language, and was about to pull Hong Menglong to escape.
