Chapter 719: A Critical Moment
The hunters had a tacit understanding of the fire beetle activity area, and traveled quickly four miles east, stopping at the upper reaches of a small river.
"Take a break. Teng Xing'an pointed to the flat on the other side of the river and said, "Leave six people in charge of camping, and the others will set off in ten minutes." ”
Ye Yunyang and the three of them had just sat down, Teng Xing'an walked over, took out three fire spirit beads from the animal skin bag, and said with a smile: "The three of you are guests, you can try the taste of fire spirit beads, Miss Meiyu knows how to eat them." ”
After a few seconds, each of them had an extra red bead in their hands.
"Thank you, seniors. Ye Yunyang thanked him.
Teng Xingan waved his hand, turned around and arranged the matter of camping.
The diameter of the fire spirit bead is nearly two centimeters, the surface is smooth, the transparency is extremely high, and there is a beating flame inside.
Mei Yu said: "The method of taking it is very simple, first put it in the mouth and press it with your tongue, moisten it with saliva, and after a while, you will feel the beads sticky, accompanied by a burning sensation, and over time, the burning sensation will become more and more intense, until the mouth is completely adapted, and then you can swallow it." After the fire spirit bead enters the abdomen, it will immediately turn into energy and go to the sea of knowledge and become a mysterious force. ”
The two of them nodded, and together they put the fire spirit bead into their mouths.
Within a moment, the burning sensation in the mouth had already appeared, which was not a problem at all for Ye Yunyang, who was used to eating chili peppers.
Mei Yu had eaten it twice before, and he had long been used to it, Li Hao frowned and stared, obviously he didn't like this feeling.
After a few minutes, they swallowed the Fire Spirit Bead, and then about one-third of the Xuan Power in the Sea of Consciousness was increased, and the effect was extremely obvious.
Li Hao was shocked, such a good thing, he had never heard of it, he said: "If you eat three at the same time, won't you be able to meet the requirements of upgrading." ”
Mei Yu shook his head: "It's not that simple, the increased Xuan Power is not permanent, how much can be left in the end, it depends on the absorption ability of each person, let alone eating three, even ten is not good, the key point of upgrading needs to be broken through in a normal cultivation way." ”
"That's pretty good. Li Hao said, from the previous process of hunting fire spirit beads, it is not difficult to see that there are a lot of fire beetles in the wild, and if you can take one fire spirit bead every day, it will be of great help to upgrade.
Ye Yunyang stood up, patted the soil on his body, and said, "The team is about to set off, let's keep up, there will definitely be something surprising to us next." ”
The team turned due north and two hours later visited a second firebeetle colony, where there were more than 1,000 firebeetles, of which the hunting party had successfully hunted more than 400 of them.
However, in the process, more than a dozen people were shot by the fire beetle's venom, but fortunately, everyone managed to deal with it in time, and no one was seriously injured.
Li Hao was more unlucky, he was shot by the venom three times, two of which were in the back, Ye Yunyang's eyes were quick, and he wiped off the venom with a piece of linen cloth as soon as possible, only one of which hurt his skin, and the other two times were dealt with before the coat corroded.
Teng Xing'an put the small package of animal skin filled with fire spirit beads into his backpack, and took out another small bag of the same kind and hung it on his belt, it was not difficult to see from his expression that such a harvest could only be regarded as average.
Mei Yu whispered: "But as long as Senior Teng leads the team, he can hunt at least about two thousand Fire Spirit Pills each time, and each clansman can get several of them, which is enough for two or three months." ”
Li Hao expressed his envy, saying that the Protoss lived a fairy-like life, and all kinds of good things were inexhaustible, but in fact, the living conditions were much worse than those of the Terrans in the Holy Heaven Continent, and as for the rare treasures, the barbarians were actually superior.
The procession continued onward, and as night fell, the hunters did not light torches, but continued on with strong eyesight.
Since Ye Yunyang gave Mi Yun a dagger with a delicate shape, he has become the loyal little follower of the three of them, seeing the doubts on the faces of the three of them, he explained in a low voice: "The next task for us is to find the Wind Beast, which is a large beast that looks like a monitor lizard, its horns can be used in medicine, and it has more than a dozen effects such as purifying the heart, removing fire, and detoxifying. The only weakness of the Wind Beasts is their eyes, and their vision becomes blurry at night, making them the best time to hunt, and if they encounter the Wind Beasts during the day, hunting teams like ours will have to flee for their lives. ”
Ye Yunyang nodded and asked, "What is the weakness of the Wind Beast?"
Mi Yun replied: "There is a bone slit in the center of the eyebrows, and after the feather arrow hits, it can destroy its brain and kill it in a moment." ”
Li Hao shrugged: "It's accurate shooting again, the three of us only have Xiaoyu's archery to show our hands, and it is estimated that the next hunting operation has nothing to do with us." ”
In the process of hunting fire beetles in the previous two times, Ye Yunyang was very self-aware, he didn't fire a single arrow; Mei Yu shot more than a dozen arrows, and the hit rate was only one-third; Li Hao was the worst, he shot all the entire bag of crossbow arrows, and he didn't hit a single one.
It's not because the three of them are too poor in archery, but the fire beetle moves extremely quickly, and it is the result of other Protoss.
"Stop!" Teng Xing'an made a stop gesture, and everyone immediately stopped, standing in place and holding their breath.
Teng Xing'an knelt on the ground, pressed his right ear against the ground, paused carefully for a while, raised his head and said in a deep voice: "Everyone prepare to attack, four hundred meters in front of the right, there is a medium-sized wind beast group. ”
With a smile on their faces, the hunters took off their bows and arrows, formed several battle groups in groups of three, and then dispersed to approach the Wind Beast in an arc.
Mi Yun explained in a low voice: "The medium wind beast group generally has more than four adult male beasts, plus a dozen adult female beasts, and a dozen young beasts, as well as a few old beasts. When it is time to rest at night, the young animals are in the middle, and the adult animals are arranged in a circle with their heads facing outward. The old beasts are located on the outermost side, and in case of danger, the old beasts are the first to die, buying time for the adults and young beasts to escape. ”
Speaking of this, Mi Yun added: "The horns of the old beasts are the strongest, and then the adult beasts, most of the young beasts have not yet grown horns, adhering to the ancestral training of endless hunting, the young beasts are not within the scope of hunting." ”
The three nodded, keeping up with the hunters.
Under the moonlight, dozens of huge beasts were lying on the flat ground with their heads facing outward, surrounded by towering trees.
An old wind beast on the periphery opened its eyes, its two eyeballs white, as if shrouded in a layer of mist, in stark contrast to its alert facial expression.
At night, not only is the vision blurred, but the hearing is also greatly affected, so the hunters can approach without being detected.
The old wind beast blinked several times in succession, and instead of becoming clearer, the scene in front of him became more and more blurred, and nothing could be seen from thirty meters away.
The hunter team was hiding forty meters away from it, Teng Xing'an slowly stood up, raised the compound bow and pulled the bowstring, holding his breath and letting go of the three fingers pinching the tail of the arrow.
Sou!
The feathered arrow flew out and turned into a meteor.
The old wind beast's eyes widened, and at such a close distance, it could hear the sound of the bowstring, but it couldn't tell where the arrow came from.
Burst...... Click!
The swirling feathered arrow shot into its eyebrows, piercing the crack of the bone with a slight metallic grinding sound.
The old wind beast maintained its position just now, and after three seconds, it fell to the ground with a loud noise.
The other Wind Beasts rose to their feet and continued to surround their cubs in the middle, their low roars, their tongues like vipers holding fast breath.
Ye Yunyang observed carefully and found that the tongue of the Wind Beast was very special, more than ten meters long, the front end was forked, the left one was obviously longer than the right one, and it was ossified into sharp spikes.
They could not see the enemy, and the trees in the vicinity were smold, and all the trunks of the trees that were hit by the tongue were all flying with sawdust, leaving two deep holes, and after being hit three or four times in succession, the trees more than two feet in diameter broke with a bang.
The sound of the big tree falling to the ground was still echoing in his ears, and Teng Xing'an ordered in a deep voice: "Attack!"
More than two dozen hunters fired arrows at the same time, and all but a few Wind Beasts were lucky enough to dodge, and all the rest were hit, and they pushed the golden mountain and fell to the ground like a pillar.
The young beast let out a mournful roar, Teng Xing'an was expressionless, took out a feather arrow and quickly opened the bow, killing the second adult female beast.
The remaining female beasts broke through to the east with their cubs, and with a wave of Teng Xing'an's hand, the two hunter teams over there left at the same time, making way for the Wind Beast.
Mi Yun said: "Leave a few female beasts, these young beasts don't have to worry about being bullied by other beasts, and they will grow into adult wind beasts smoothly." ”
At this moment, an adult Wind Beast that had already fallen suddenly stood up and glared angrily in the direction of the four of them.
Mi Yun panicked directly: "It's not dead, run!"
It was because he had just spoken louder that he was locked in the direction by the Wind Beast, and with this voice in a higher tone, the Wind Beast opened its big mouth and raised its four hooves and rushed towards this side.
Mei Yu subconsciously shot out an arrow and hit the forehead of the Wind Beast, and the feather arrow was directly bounced out.
Li Hao hurriedly retreated, Mi Yun took a step forward with a dagger, and wanted to die with the Wind Beast, Ye Yunyang was the calmest, he had already taken three steps forward, and threw the Fang Tian Painting Halberd with his right hand raised high.
Burst!
The halberd was in the center of the eyebrows of the wind beast, and the feather arrows were squeezed out, and the tips of the halberds more than a foot long were all sunk into the cracks in the bones.
The Wind Beast continued to rush forward, not caring that it had one less arrow on its head and one more Fang Tian Painting Halberd.
"Hide!" Teng Xing'an shouted.
Ye Yunyang stood firmly in place, seeing that the Wind Beast was about to crash into him.
In the next second, the picture seemed to freeze, and the tip of the sharp horned nose of the Wind Beast was less than a foot away from him, and its body shook from side to side twice, and it fell to the ground with a bang.
Teng Xingan let out a sigh of relief, Mei Yu hurriedly walked over, took Ye Yunyang's hand and asked, "How are you, are you injured?"
He smiled indifferently: "Of course not." ”
Li Hao walked over, picked up the feather arrow squeezed out by the halberd, and said: "The arrow is not sharp enough, and the strength of the bow is too small, although it hurts the brain tissue of the Wind Beast, but it only makes it appear in a state of suspended animation, and it does not really kill it, it is too dangerous." ”
Mi Yun lowered his head and said, "It's all my fault, I shouldn't have spoken in such a loud voice, I almost made a big mistake." ”
Ye Yunyang shook his head and said generously: "You didn't mean it, how can I blame you, fortunately, there is no danger! Okay, hurry up and show me the method of taking the horns of the beast, I can't wait to see it." ”
