Chapter 111: The Spirit Beast That Guards the Soul
In Lin Yu's eyes, there was only one target at this time, and that was the big bird that was hovering on the golden tree.
From a distance, he could recognize the species and habits of this large bird at a glance.
A jade sculpture close to adulthood, the spirit beast level is above the hundred soldier level, the body size is about the same as that of an adult man, the wings are spread, and the length is also seven or eight meters.
The other party had been circling around a branch of the Golden Tree, as if he had been eyeing something.
When Lin Yu approached the golden tree, he saw at a glance that there seemed to be something on the tree, with a white glow on it, soaring upward, and the pillar of light was almost half a meter high, dragging a white mist of light, constantly flickering on the branches.
The eyes of the jade carving were staring at the white pillar of light, and there seemed to be something in it that was attracting it.
In addition, under this golden tree, there are many wild beasts, looking up to it.
There are many kinds of wild animals that linger here, herbivores, carnivores, and some reptiles, all of which gather here, each looking up.
Among these beasts, there are many kinds of beasts, all of which are natural rivals.
But now, they all gathered here, and they did not have the slightest intention of fighting each other, but looked straight at the tree, as if what was in the tree was more important than the fight between them.
Some predators have their own prey at their feet, but now they ignore the pieces of meat around them and look straight at the trees.
They had come from all directions, and now they were all crouching on the ground, looking up at the position of the white pillar of light, motionless, as if guarding, as if they were coveting the light.
Seeing that there were so many beasts, attracted by the pillar of light, gathered here, Lin Yu couldn't help but be a little curious.
What kind of thing can attract so many beasts?
Yet, no matter how much these beasts coveted the light, none of them dared to come even closer to the tree.
Even the jade carvings hovering over the trees did not take the initiative to fall and touch such things.
Because, in this lesson, there is a giant snake circling in the golden tree.
At first glance, I thought it was a thick vine coiled around the trunk, but on closer inspection, I could see that it was a giant snake with a rough skin like tree bark and branches on its body.
Its appearance is somewhat similar to that of the Golden Tree, with protruding attachments like the branches of a large tree.
It's just that at this time, it is winding around the trunk of the tree and closing its eyes to recuperate, and the other beasts seem to be a little afraid of it, and they dare not approach the tree.
Lin Yu stopped at this time, and with a pair of eyes, he quickly recognized several extremely threatening beasts around him.
He was also careful to watch out for the trees as he approached them.
After all, there were hundreds of beasts squatting around the trees alone, and if they approached rashly, they would only cause unnecessary disturbances.
This place is also close to the royal city, and if there is too much movement, then the soldiers guarding the royal city will surely find out what they have done.
So, he searched around, and found several herbs with strange smells that can repel insects and beasts among the vast weeds and wild flowers.
Lin Yu rubbed the collected herbs repeatedly with his hands, squeezed out the juice completely, and left a part to smear on himself. The rest of the grass residue was collected by him and made into grass wool that could be ignited.
After that, he set the grass on fire and threw it near a tree.
Before that, he had also observed the changes in the wind direction in the surrounding area.
When the flames rise, the smoke from the burning of the grass fleeces in the direction of the wind.
After a while, the choking smoke rushed to the foot of the golden tree.
Quite a few beasts couldn't help but start tossing after asking about the smell.
The timid ones fled directly, and the violent beast finally withdrew its gaze under the influence of the smell.
When the beasts were disturbed by the smell, they stopped staring at the golden tree, but withdrew their gaze and shifted it to their target.
Not long after, the beasts present began to kill each other.
Countless predators were fighting together, and the initiators, at this time, were in the direction of the high ground, quietly watching them fight and fight.
The movement of the beasts fighting attracted the attention of the cloud eagles in the trees.
Attracted by the blood, the cloud eagle finally stopped circling, but reversed the angle of its flight, and its wings contracted violently, turning into a sharp arrow, and swooping down to the ground.
It aimed at a spirit leopard that was fighting with a mountain wolf, the cloud eagle's hook claws were extremely sharp, and a curved beak was even harder and sharper.
Relying on the momentum and strength brought by the dive, it pounced on the spirit leopard.
At this time, the spirit leopard has been targeted by several mountain wolves, and after the cloud eagle attacked, it was attacked on its back and was difficult to parry for a while.
Mountain wolves are greedy and cruel, they always gather together, even for predation and hunting.
A spirit leopard was under the attack of three or five mountain wolves, and it still had the strength to fight.
But after the cloud eagle joined the battle, it was a little too late to take care of it.
As soon as it was restrained by the two mountain wolves, the fur on its back was grabbed by the cloud eagle that rushed down, and its sharp hook claws pierced the fur and embedded it deeply in the flesh and bone of its back.
The spirit leopard was in pain and just wanted to fight back, but at this time, the cloud eagle had already flapped its wings hard, rolled up a lot of dust, and blinded its eyes.
The yellow sand covered his eyes, and the spirit leopard suddenly lost his vision.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, several mountain wolves swarmed up and used their fangs to stop it, making the injured spirit leopard powerless to resist, let alone hurting the cloud eagle that grabbed its back.
At the same time, they are also open and full; The fang's big mouth bit the leopard fiercely, tearing its flesh and bones off its body, and at the same time sipping its blood.
Under the attack of countless beasts, this spirit leopard was completely seriously injured.
When it fell to the ground weakly and lost its mobility, a mountain wolf opened its mouth impatiently and bit the neck of the spirit leopard.
Then, with a crisp bone cracking sound, the spirit leopard's neck was torn open with a hole, and blood gushed out of it.
When it was completely dead, the wolf divided its body into several parts and swallowed it.
This kind of killing often happens under the golden tree.
Countless beasts were fighting together, and he watched them kill each other.
The beasts are not very intelligent, and they are stimulated by the smoke to kill their own kind or the object of prey.
Soon after, there was only a mangled corpse under the tree, and the winners were licking their wounds while enjoying their food.
After the number of beasts on the field had decreased sharply, Lin Yu was relieved to approach in the direction of the big tree.
At this time, the remaining beasts, even if they noticed him, did not dare to attack him again.
After all, when he appeared, the white tiger phantom on his back was enough to suppress these beasts in terms of momentum.
But when he was less than ten steps away from the tree, the giant snake perched on the tree suddenly opened its eyes, and then fell off the tree, and its huge body fell to the ground, letting out a crazy hiss.
After the giant snake landed, its huge body slowly unfolded, and at the same time it raised its head, and its slender body stood upright, looking towards the ground.
The crimson snake eyes turned slightly, and there was a trace of wisdom in them.
Seeing this, Lin Yu immediately stopped, his eyes only staring at the giant snake, and he was on guard.
