Chapter 174: The Herd
"Brother Xiaofei, this ......" Chen Laowu's face changed greatly, and he was so panicked that he couldn't do it.
"It's okay, as long as you don't move, it can't see us. Yi Chen waved his hand and continued to wait and see.
I saw that the mutant mountain boar herd in front of me heard the whistling sound and stood up, a little cramped and uneasy.
On the other hand, the leader of the boar was very stable, lying on the spot and not moving.
After a while, another wolf howl sounded, followed by a wolf howl, which seemed to be quite numerous.
Yi Chen's eyes were good, and he looked in the direction of the wolf's howl, and immediately saw a pack of wolves, numbering about twenty or thirty, and was rushing towards this side.
The head wolf who walked in the front has a very large body, and the coat color on his body is also glowing with a strange luster, at first glance it is not an ordinary breed, and it is estimated that it is the same as the leader of the boar, which has been eroded by the demonic energy, and it will become like this.
Yi Chen hadn't seen it yet, and suddenly there was a birdsong from the other direction, the sound was very sharp and harsh, and it sounded very uncomfortable.
According to the previous experience, this is definitely not an ordinary bird, and I don't know if it is a god horse breed.
It's strange, why are so many mutated creatures rushing to this place at this point in time?
Yi Chen pondered for a long time, but still had no answer.
This kind of thing, it seems that we have to wait and see, it is impossible to guess by oneself, it is a bit dangerous, and you need to think about it clearly.
Yi Chen's curiosity has always been very heavy, and he really doesn't want to leave when he sees this, if he doesn't find out, he won't be able to sleep at night.
A flock of more than a dozen bald eagles was the first to arrive, landing on a nearby tree, faintly forming a circle.
The wolves arrived next, and when they came, they lined up in a neat sequence, as if they had been specially trained, which was eye-catching.
Yi Chen couldn't help but wonder: What is such an anthropomorphic behavior all about?
Could it be that the "thing" behind them is actually a human, or is it a high-level demon race with intelligence comparable to that of humans?
Just thinking about it, another group of pheasants came over from the side, also in line, the number of about twenty, not much, but all of them looked very strong.
Yi Chen was no longer surprised at this time, anyway, he was covered with a burning flag, and there was nothing to find him on the other side, so it was better to continue to watch the show.
On the other hand, Chen Lao Wu is not so calm.
He found that there were more and more wild beasts on the opposite side, such as roe deer, badgers, sika deer, etc., all of them came, and they must have been more than ten or twenty of them.
Moreover, these brutes are all mutated, and their body size is much larger than that of their average kind, so it is conceivable that their combat power is much stronger.
There must be a reason why so many beasts are gathered here.
But Chen Lao Wu didn't want to know the reason now, he just wanted to leave early.
God is above, this demon wind is full of evil spirits, he really doesn't want to stay for a moment......
"Whew-" A roar sounded again.
Directly in front of him, a golden shadow swept by, and in the blink of an eye, it was in the center.
Yi Chen could see clearly, this was a mutated giant tiger, as big as a special car, tall, long, teeth, and two eyes glowing with green light, as soon as he got closer, a fierce aura came to his face!
When the rest of the beasts saw it, they lowered their heads and chirped quietly.
Looks like it's the head here?
Yi Chen observed the other party while pondering the cattiness.
"Hey, what's going on?~" The blue light flashed, and Huzhong Immortal suddenly appeared.
He turned his head to look at Chen Lao Wu, and couldn't help but wonder: "Hey, this kid has a good physique, pure wood spirit veins, and can be an excellent spiritual healer, where did you find it?"
Yi Chen was speechless for a while, and communicated with him with his heart: "I only met during the day today, let's not talk about this, you can help me analyze the situation in front of me first." ”
"What's the situation?" the old guy's eyes widened, "Lao Tzu just fell asleep, and when he woke up, he found that you had come to this ghost place, where is this, why are you here?"
"Uh......" Yi Chen hesitated for a moment, and had to briefly recount the whole story.
After hearing this, Hu Zhongxian couldn't help but smile: "Boy, you think too much, no matter where you are, the mountains and wilderness always come according to the law of the jungle, and this place is of course no exception." In my opinion, there should be a monster entrenched here, and all the mutated mountain birds and beasts here are all its little brothers. ”
"Demon?" Yi Chen frowned, and couldn't help but think of Su Mei'er in his heart.
Hu Zhongxian understood at a glance, and immediately shook his head and said: "It's not what you think, this demon is not the Western Regions demon clan, but our local monster, you are familiar with history books, you should understand what I mean." ”
"Understood. Yi Chen nodded, and his heart was clear.
I think that the emperor chased the Central Plains, drove the demon clan to the wilderness of the extreme west, and swept away the Daluo under his rule one by one.
However, there are inevitably some fish that have slipped through the net, and after more than a thousand years, they must have bred a group of descendants.
Moreover, the demon is one of the species that naturally appears in this heaven and earth, but any animal or plant with a little spiritual intelligence, as long as they have the opportunity and have the heart of the Tao, they can cultivate, absorb the essence of heaven and earth, and finally turn into a demon.
Even though the original demon clan has been driven to the continent in the extreme west, the Central Plains will still continue to produce new monsters, and there will be an endless stream.
It's just that their living environment is definitely not as good as before, and they can only survive under human rule.
Generally, in larger towns, they have learned to be well-behaved and will not take the initiative to go over to find trouble.
After all, it is the sphere of influence of the human race, with sects, academies and academies, and the most terrifying army!
No matter how crazy the youkai are, they don't dare to make trouble on the territory of human beings.
However, the territory of Da Luo is too vast, in its vast land, there are many green mountains and green waters, endless wilderness, as long as they are honest, occupy the mountains as kings, and do not come out to attack people indiscriminately, ordinary human beings will not take the initiative to trouble them.
It's a tacit agreement that the aliens must abide by.
If there are people who don't know how to lift, there will be people in the sect - such as Ling Xianzi and his ilk walking around, subduing demons and eliminating demons, and at worst, there will be academies dispatched to carry out large-scale hunting to deter the evil spirits, and the most terrifying thing is, of course, the army, once dispatched, it is not a hunt, but a complete slaughter!
There are actually similar examples, for example, two years ago, in Xianyang County, within the boundary of Qinglan Land, there was a vicious incident of large-scale attacks on towns by mountain demons, and later I heard that it was the Lanshan Sect and Linyang Academy that washed all the mountainous areas in that area, no matter what demons, spirits, and strange beasts you have, they all killed a fine light!
Since then, the area around Xianyang County has been much quieter, and I haven't heard of any incidents of monsters harming people.
And right now this place ......
Yi Chen looked left and right, he really couldn't go to the village, he couldn't go to the town, and he couldn't find a decent human gathering place within a hundred miles, no wonder these goblins and beasts were so rampant.
Just thinking about it, I suddenly heard Huzhong Immortal say: "Hey, this is really interesting, I look at these strange beasts, all of them have been cultivating for decades, and only a few of the leaders have a hundred years of cultivation, it's really not good, why is it that their intelligence is quite high? Could it be that there is something in this that I don't know?"
Yi Chen shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Don't look at me, you are so well-informed, if you don't know, it's impossible for me to know." ”
"Ahh ”
"I'll go, can we not mention the word Dongping?" Yi Chen looked angry.
"Aha...... Well, it's a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue. The old guy smiled awkwardly and said, "Actually, you don't have to worry, these strange beasts gathered here definitely not out of their subjective will, but something gave an order and summoned them all." ”
"That's right, I think so too, but I just don't understand, what is it that can do this, just now I have scanned all the places in this area with the eye of the rhino, and I still don't see anything abnormal, but that demonic aura is always hovering nearby, can you feel it?"
"Hmm. The old guy nodded, put away his joking look, and said seriously: "There is indeed a demonic aura here, and it is very hidden, I can't feel where it is for the time being, so I can't answer you what kind of demon this is." Don't worry, wait, I don't believe it won't come out. ”
"Okay. When Yi Chen heard him say this, he could only continue to squat in place.
While chatting, a tiger roar suddenly sounded in front of him.
All the beasts sat upright and crouched, their heads bowed, as if waiting for something to appear.
Even the most formidable-looking giant tiger lowered its head, and it was clear that it was not the boss.
"Whew-" A demonic wind suddenly blew on the flat ground, and it swept through this area in an instant.
Yi Chen didn't feel anything, but Chen Lao Wu was choked by this demonic wind, and his throat and eyes were very uncomfortable, and he immediately coughed.
This cough startled him, and he hurriedly stuck his neck, desperately holding back.
"It's okay, cough up. Yi Chen had already laid a mute note, but he was not afraid.
"That...... Brother Xiaofei, why don't we leave early. Chen Lao Wuyi wiped the sweat on his head, and said: "Look, we have found what we should be looking for, and it doesn't make sense to continue to stay here, Xiaoliu is still waiting for us, can you ......?"
"Well, too. Yi Chen nodded, pursed his lips and said, "Why don't you go back first, brother, and tell Second Brother Lu that I have something to do, and I'll go back later." ”
"This ...... Let's go out together, let's go back together, otherwise Second Brother Lu will definitely scold me to death. ”
"It's okay, you ......" Yi Chen just wanted to persuade two more words, but suddenly, a blue light flashed in front of him, which immediately attracted all his attention.
