Chapter 55: Human-Beast Conspiracy
Yu Linghe and Shen Sheng entered the swamp, and they walked cautiously, carefully discerning each step before stepping out.
This is not only to guard against the mud traps under your feet, but also to prepare for the swamp monsters that may appear at any time.
In the center, this is a forbidden place that even the eyes of the gods cannot see. If it weren't for tracking the Shadow Wolves, they would never have entered easily.
Suddenly, Yu Linghe, who was walking first, stopped, his eyes were blazing, and he looked around carefully.
After the battle with the shadow wolf, Shen Sheng was already admiring Linghe's eyes and ears, and he no longer had any doubts. Seeing that Yu Linghe was so cautious, he immediately cheered up and said in a low voice: "Linghe, have you found its whereabouts?"
In fact, Shadow Wolf is not only good at sneak attacks and plots, but also good at lurking and hiding and escaping.
If it weren't for Yu Linghe to lead the way, he would have lost his tracking target long ago.
Yu Linghe pondered for a moment and said, "There should be a demon beast here, Brother Shen, you must be careful." ”
Shen Sheng kept his face calm and nodded slowly.
There are no treasures on their bodies that can make the demon beasts retreat, and if they accidentally invade the territory of the demon beasts, they can only fight to the death.
After a while, Yu Linghe's eyes suddenly lit up, he shouted softly, the long sword in his hand fluttered, and suddenly stabbed towards a piece of the ground. Shen Sheng's reaction was also not slow, just because the moment Linghe took out the sword, the long sword in his hand also splashed with thousands of radiance, and the power of the Eight Rank Star Lay Priest poured out, smashing into the ground like a meteor shower.
The ground is indistinguishable from its surroundings, the same undulations as if the mud was dry and cracked.
However, when their swords pierced the ground, the ground shook abruptly. Countless blood splattered and shot out from the ground in all directions.
Then, the ground finally revealed its form, and it turned out to be a swamp crocodile that was more than two feet long.
Fierce crocodiles are the most common fierce beasts in the swamps, but once they exceed two feet in length, they will become out-and-out monsters. This kind of demon beast is extremely difficult to deal with, not only is it infinitely powerful, its skin is thick and its flesh is rough, but it is also good at camouflage ambushes, even high-level star monks will have a headache when they see it.
However, this fierce crocodile is now out of sight, it originally planned to ambush Yu Linghe and the two, but he didn't expect these two to see its lurking and strike first.
With or without intention, it was already seriously injured before it appeared.
Two clouds of sword light fell down like a waterfall, blocking all the retreats of the swamp crocodile. Not only that, but the endless sword splashes kept leaving deep wounds on its body.
The swamp crocodile that has turned into a demon beast is definitely a big opponent, if there is only Shen Sheng alone, he will definitely not dare to provoke. However, now Yu Linghe not only took the initiative to act, but also served as the main force to attract hatred.
He jumped up and down in front of the swamp crocodile, constantly teasing the crocodile like a big horse monkey. However, whenever the fierce crocodile opened its mouth and wanted to bite him, Yu Linghe was always able to dodge it in advance like an unpredictable prophet. Although in comparison, it was Shen Sheng who really gave the swamp crocodile a fatal injury. But from beginning to end, the target of the fierce crocodile was Yu Linghe, who was coquettish and provocative in front of it.
After the meal, the mighty swamp crocodile finally stopped, its body drenched in blood, and even the ground turned red. Because of the excessive blood loss, it finally became weak and weak, and a pair of large, fierce eyes gradually lost their luster and became dull.
Yu Linghe jumped a few times in front of it, but he couldn't cause any fluctuations in it.
"Reiga, don't look at it. Shen Sheng put away his sword and stood up, saying, "It's dead." ”
If it comes to combat experience, then the combined experience of Yu Linghe's two lives is far inferior.
After a pause, Yu Linghe smiled and said, "Brother Shen, congratulations on your sword demon beast." ”
Shen Sheng smiled bitterly and said, "Don't put gold on my face, if it weren't for you today, I would probably die here." ”
He hadn't found any trace of the swamp crocodile beforehand, and if he walked over and was attacked by the crocodile like this, the consequences would be unimaginable. Turning his head to look at Yu Linghe, who was smiling, Shen Sheng's heart was full of mixed feelings.
Yu Linghe blinked his eyes twice and asked suddenly, "Brother Shen, have you been here with your sister before?"
Shen Sheng hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes, your sister and I were ordered by the city lord to look for a certain treasure in the central area of the swamp, hehe, but I didn't expect that it would be half a year all of a sudden, so that you all misunderstood." He shook his head slightly and sighed, "Hey, your sister was already in the ninth stage at that time, and her future was immeasurable. But...... How did I find that when I walked with you, it seemed to be a little less effortless. ”
Yu Linghe hurriedly snorted and said, "Brother Shen, what treasures are you looking for in the central area?" ”
Shen Sheng hesitated for a while, and said, "Linghe, we promised the city lord that we would try not to mention this matter, so you don't ask more." ”
Yu Linghe wiped his nose and said, "Brother Shen, we have followed that shadow wolf, and we have reached the central area of the swamp all the way. Don't you wonder why? ”
Shen Sheng's face changed suddenly, and even his eyes became fierce in an instant.
"You mean ......"
Yu Linghe nodded slowly and said, "That shadow wolf has also seen a lot of our Terran laymen along the way, but except for a fight with us, he has never done anything to anyone else. His voice became more and more solemn, and he said, "With the strength of that shadow wolf, if you really want to do it, it will be a catastrophe." But it was dismissive of everyone else, and entered the center as fast as it could. ”
Shen Sheng's fists suddenly clenched, and he said, "I know, it's also here for that secret." After hesitating for a moment, Shen Sheng sighed: "Well, since that's the case, I'll tell you." ”
Yu Linghe was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Little brother listens." ”
Shen Sheng said solemnly: "In the central area of this swamp, there is a strong man who has lived for many years, and all of its body is full of treasures, whether it is a drop of liquid or a leaf, it is something that ordinary people dream of. ”
Yu Linghe was dumbfounded, inexplicable, what type of powerhouse is this, how can there be liquids and leaves.
Looking at Yu Linghe's bright and sluggish appearance, Shen Sheng smiled and said, "That strong man is a tree demon lord who has a close relationship with our human race. He sighed lightly and said, "After a lot of hard work, we finally found the tree lord, and after offering a bottle of holy water, we received a leaf in return. ”
Yu Linghe's heart moved slightly, and he said, "Is it related to the City Lord's eagerness to return to the continent?"
Shen Sheng shook his head slightly, and said, "What is the identity of the city lord, what is her thoughts, how can we guess." ”
Yu Linghe smiled, retracted the topic, and said, "Brother Shen, look at the direction of the shadow wolf, is it going to Lord Shu?" ”
Shen Sheng's face was solemn, and after half a sound, he said slowly: "Lord Tree doesn't stay in a certain place for a long time, that shadow wolf wants to find the traces of Lord Tree here, I'm afraid it's in vain. ”
Yu Linghe blinked his eyes and said, "Brother Shen, since you and your sister can find it, why can't it." ”
Shen Sheng smiled disdainfully and said, "We have been looking for half a year at the beginning, how can that shadow wolf have such patience and luck." ”
As they spoke, they had already disposed of the carcass of the swamp crocodile, cut off the most important piece, packed it away, and moved on.
After another half an hour, Yu Linghe's face suddenly became solemn.
He said in a deep voice, "Brother Shen, the two of the enemy family are also here?"
"What?" Shen Sheng's heart trembled and asked, "What's going on?"
Yu Linghe shook his head silently and said slowly: "These two enemies have left traces here, and they have met the shadow wolf. Strangely, though, there's no sign of conflict here. ”
The two of them glanced at each other, and they both saw the look of horror in each other's eyes.
After a while, Shen Sheng suddenly sneered: "Humans and beasts conspire, this is a taboo for the human race, the enemy, hehe, the enemy......"
Yu Linghe said slowly: "Brother Shen, did you say that the shadow wolf was specially dealing with us?"
Shen Sheng pondered for a long time and said, "I can't be sure, but it's ......" A sneer of disdain appeared on his face, and he said, "Let's catch up, if we meet them together, then there will be a good show." ”
Yu Linghe smiled slightly, he naturally understood the truth.
Although this place cannot be spied on by the Divine Eye, the power of the gods is omnipresent, and since they are illuminated by the Divine Eye, their every move for several days is recorded.
Although trivial matters will not be remembered by the gods, if they kill each other, or cooperate with demon beasts to deal with their own people, then when they leave, they will definitely not be able to hide from the peep of the gods.
Such an ending is far more uncomfortable than killing them.
Therefore, he is also very much looking forward to the moment when they see each other.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and they quickened their pace. However, this is the center of the swamp after all, and no matter how anxious they are, they dare not be careless. Along the way, they avoided all the mud traps as much as they could, but there were always times when they missed. Moreover, there are so many demon beasts here, and their fierce temperament is unprecedented.
In a few hours, they had already consumed a lot of star power, and their bodies were even more exhausted.
However, after this period of hurrying, they also determined one thing, that is, the shadow wolf who attacked them did indeed know the two of them. Their scent mingled and had reached the deepest depths of the swamp.
"Huh......"
Shen Sheng stopped suddenly, he stared into the distance, his eyes were full of surprise.
