Chapter 34: Seeking Wealth and Danger
There are two beasts and one person above the tree, and there is a circle of restless beasts under the tree.
The already sturdy trunk crumbled under the claw's attack.
Su Xiangxiang's feet shook violently, and she hugged the tree trunk and briefly looked at the scars on Qiluo's body.
A large piece of flesh was torn off from his hind legs, and a piece of his shoulder was missing, and blood flowed profusely.
Qiluo is young and strong, physically fit, and still full of energy, and seems to have long been accustomed to these pains.
Su Xiangxiang turned her head to look at the little guy who rescued her.
The little guy's fur is white and supple, with a melon seed face, big eyes that are black and bright, slightly frightened and alert, a long body that is streamlined, and a long tail that is fluffy and flexible.
It is a small ferret, the size of a medium-sized dog, which is particularly cute among the giant animals of the beast world.
The tree beneath his feet would soon be cut off, and the little ferret cried out twice in horror, as if seeking Qiluo's advice.
Su Xiangxiang looked around, quickly came to a conclusion, pointed to the depths of the polluted forest, and said goodbye.
"Squeak!" The little ferret's rapid and high-pitched voice seemed to be protesting, standing up with its upper body, waving its pink little paws, and protesting to Su Xiangxiang.
The closer you get to the polluted area, the greater the number and intensity of the red-bone beasts, and the little ferret obviously does not want to go towards danger.
Qiluo also frowned, but patiently waited for Su Xiangxiang's explanation.
"We're already deep into the polluted zone, and even if we turn around and go back, we may not be sure that we will survive so many red bone beasts, these red bone beasts are obviously afraid that we will enter the depths of the pollution, so we might as well go and take a look, maybe we can find a way to subdue them all at once."
The little ferret and Qiluo glanced at each other, Qiluo's expression was complicated, and the little ferret was a little hard to believe.
They did run into obstacles on their way here.
But in their cognition, the Red Bone Beast has always been a fierce beast without thinking, so how could it take the initiative to stop them?
Looking back now, it seems that Su Xiangxiang was indeed right.
The tree trunk under her feet shook more and more, and Su Xiangxiang took the lead in rushing towards the depths of pollution.
Qiluo followed closely behind, and Su Xiangxiang was inseparable.
The little ferret hesitated for a moment, frightened by the terrible roar under his feet, and reluctantly followed the two of them to run and jump on the branches.
The closer you are to the center of the pollution, the more dead trees will be.
The big tree, which was still vibrant a few days ago, turned into dark black dead branches and leaves in an instant.
Under the trees followed more and more red-bone beasts, their eyes shining red, and their mouths smelling fishy.
Su Xiangxiang seemed to feel a hint of panic from their approaching pace.
The leaves above the trees were getting thinner and thinner, and not far away, a thick cloud of smoke rose from a gap in the dry treetops.
The smell of burnt trees and flesh was blowing in the wind, and it grew stronger.
Qiluo and ferret, who had a keen sense of smell, were about to choke and suffocate, and Su Xiangxiang also sneezed several times in a row.
Someone set a fire before them, there must be something unsightly in the polluting center!
The three of them looked solemn and accelerated their pace.
When they arrived at the scene, the three of them saw only a raging fire in front of them, and in the middle of the fire was a towering tree.
Strangely, the tree sprang out from its roots with many vessel-like rhizomes, the largest of which was the thickness of an adult's thigh.
These strange rhizomes were red and black, bursting in the flames, splattering with rich crimson plasma, which was slowly burned into black charcoal.
The entire tree was bathed in flames, as if it were alive, and it was constantly burning black and red blood.
The crackling of flames and the gurgling of thick liquid continued for a long time.
The two beasts stood still, their eyes wide as they watched the horrific scene.
Su Xiangxiang was the first to react and looked around.
The chasing redbone beasts were all lifeless, and the red light in their eyes was extinguished, as if they had been drained of their vitality, and they lay on the ground listlessly, unable to attack any of them again.
It was as if their source of energy was drying up, slowly turning back into lifeless corpses.
Su Xiangxiang suddenly remembered the spar in the body of the red bone beast, patted her head, immediately jumped down from the tree, rushed to the nearest red bone beast, endured the stench, reached in from its eye socket, and struggled to take out a spar.
Just as Su Xiang Spice thought, this spar was melting, and its periphery had softened and turned into liquid.
However, after being taken out, the state of the hedron stabilized, and the solid part was still intact, while the red bone beast that had lost the hedron softened into a mess of mud.
Su Xiangxiang raised her eyes in shock, there were at least a hundred red bone beasts that followed them, and now they were all on the verge of death, lying on the ground without resistance.
That's hundreds of hedrons! It may not be long before it will be gone!
"Come and dig for the hedrons!" Su Xiangxiang yelled anxiously at Qiluo.
Qiluo came back to his senses, changed back into a human form, conjured five fingers, and added sharp claws, and easily pulled out the head of the beast, and a spar was completely brought out.
With the spar in his hand, Qiluo immediately understood Su Xiangxiang's intentions, and immediately buried himself in hard work, picked up his two claws, almost a spar in a second, and took out more than a dozen precious spars in an instant.
The little ferret on the side saw the glided human form, slightly averted his gaze, and silently walked away, but also turned into a human form on the spot.
Su Xiangxiang's side flashed, and there was a gray body, she subconsciously looked at it, and found that the little ferret turned out to be the snow jade that she had been on the same side before!
Xue Yu's body is exquisite, and her skin is as white as snow.
Even though Su Xiangxiang was a girl, she couldn't help but look at it twice.
Xue Yu dug up two spars and looked up at Su Xiangxiang, seemingly very unhappy with her gaze.
Su Xiangxiang smiled awkwardly, took off the animal skin coat on her body, and handed it to Xue Yu.
Xue Yu already has a partner, and it is really unseemly to be naked with Qiluo.
Xue Yu snorted coldly, turned her head arrogantly, and ignored Su Xiangxiang's arm with clothes hanging.
Su Xiangxiang shrugged, silently withdrew her kindness, and put her clothes back on herself.
It seems that Xue Yu has always been hostile to her since they met.
There's no way, who told Su Xiangxiang to forcibly sneak out of the male god and almost kill him?
The beast-shaped ferret claws are only a small clump, and if the snow jade doesn't want so many crystals to melt away, it can only maintain its human form.
Xue Yu insisted on not accepting Su Xiangxiang's clothes, and the result was that she was afraid when digging for the spar, always looking at the direction of Qiluo, and carefully hiding her body behind the beast's corpse, which was extremely inconvenient.
All three of them had doubts in their hearts, but they were all busy rescuing the spars that had not yet melted, and they were silent and had no time to talk.
Qiluo is tall, with slender limbs, and the speed of digging up spars is the fastest, and the number of spars obtained is about twice the total number of spars of Su Xiangxiang and Xue Yu together.
Xue Yu's movements were flexible, but unfortunately her strength was slightly lacking, and she didn't dare to make too many moves because of her scruples about Qiluo, and she only dug twice as much as Su Xiangxiang.
As a miserable human being, Su Xiangxiang's flexibility and strength are far inferior to that of orcs, even if she works hard to the point of sweating, she is still the lowest existence among the three.
The sound of tearing flesh and skin was accompanied by the sound of embers extinguishing, and after about ten minutes, the big trees in the fire were completely burned to ashes, and all the red bone beasts on the ground turned into ordinary rotting corpses, and there was not a single shadow of a hedron to be found.
The three of them wiped their sweat and gathered together all the spars they had obtained, there were more than five hundred, of different sizes, piled up into a small mountain, full of a sense of accomplishment.
Qiluo's excited voice was trembling, "Great! Xiangxiang! These hedrons are enough for our entire tribe for a winter! How do you know this? ”
Su Xiangxiang wiped the sweat from her forehead, "I just guessed it, fortunately, the rescue was timely, otherwise so many spars would have turned into a mess of carrion with those corpses." ”
Xue Yu was also extremely shocked by this.
She hated being dirty, but looking at her blood-stained paws at this time, a sense of satisfaction came over her.
She never imagined that her own weak female could help pick so many hedrons.
Despite this, she still didn't want to slap the horse at Su Xiangxiang, so she shook her head and turned back into a little ferret.
In the forest not far away, a large white figure became clearer and clearer, and with the sound of hurried footsteps, it came to Su Xiangxiang's eyes in an instant.
The support of the white wolf came, and the leading snow wolf was very familiar, it was the beast type of Xiubai.
Qiluo looked at Xiu Bai who was rushing forward, a trace of painful struggle flashed in his eyes, and he lowered his eyes and said nothing.
The little ferret craned its neck, looked expectantly into the snow wolves, hesitated for a moment, and then turned and hid behind a large tree.
Su Xiangxiang greeted Xiu Bai who came over, took a few steps forward, with a proud smile on her face, and just wanted to show off her outstanding results, she was suddenly pulled into a hard embrace.
The heavy wheezing sound in his ears blew hot, and the huge heartbeat beat hit his chest rapidly, and Su Xiangxiang's side face was pressed hard against Xiubai's chest, and she could even feel her panicked heartbeat trembling every time.
Xiu Bai's solid arms were like two iron hoops, burying Su Xiangxiang tightly in her arms and sinking into her soft waist, like a cage that could never be broken through.
Su Xiangxiang stretched out her hand and pushed, but she didn't move, her entire chest cavity was squeezed a little out of breath, and she weakly patted Xiu Bai's strong back.
"I ...... Can't breathe...... Hmmm......"
Xiu Bai hugged the person in his arms tightly, as if only in this way could he feel her presence.
The moment he heard that she was being besieged by the Red Bone Beast, Xiu Bai felt that his heartbeat had simply stopped.
He couldn't imagine what the world would be like after losing Su Xiangxiang.
Xiu Bai took a deep breath, and finally felt the soft temperature in his arms with affection, and then reluctantly let go of his hand.
Su Xiangxiang propped her hands on Xiu Bai's chest, lowered her head and exhaled heavily.
Xiu Bai couldn't be lovesick with her, suddenly blackened, and wanted to strangle her to death and stay by her side forever, right?
Putting aside the unrealistic complaints, Su Xiangxiang looked up at the person in front of her.
The snow-white animal skin coat on the upper body of Xiu Bai was covered with crimson stains in the hug just now, and some black and red colors were also hung on his silver-white hair.
He didn't have the slightest look of disgust, and his ice blue eyes were full of her reflections.
