Chapter 159: The Black Spotted Frog
Outside the city of Molong.
Coming to the outside of Molong City again, looking at the mess that had not yet been completely repaired, Li Changan clearly knew how serious the disaster was last night.
Especially.
After the appearance of a few catastrophic-level spirit beasts, the battle that broke out was naturally extremely terrifying.
It is not impossible to say that it has changed the landscape to a certain extent.
"Bracket—"
Kuidou, who was following beside him, raised his hand and pointed in a direction of the forest in the distance.
There, the flock of birds and butterflies, the place and direction that were revealed to it in a vague way.
They don't know what's going on there, but last night's surge caused a large number of wild animals to flee from the forest.
So some of them fled to Molong City.
When it comes to wild animals, they are generally not very intelligent.
But the perception of danger, especially the perception of some major disasters, is more sensitive than humans and even some spirit animals with a certain amount of intelligence.
Just like before an earthquake, dogs would bark, birds would fly, and fish would jump out of the water.
They can't tell the origin of this feeling, nor can they tell the reason why fear was born.
However, in their communication with Kuidou, they vaguely express to Kuidou what they know, or where they perceive danger.
And Kuidou, who learned this from the information they transmitted, the information he gained through the "Word of Nature" was naturally transmitted to Li Changan through the "Spiritual Balance".
In line with the fact that the spirit beasts in the forest will enter a short vacuum period after the disaster tide is over, coupled with the curiosity about the place that the group of wild animals are afraid of and even awe, Li Changan still chooses to take a look.
Of course.
On the other hand, he also wanted to see if Kaito's "Nature's Language" could really get some useful information.
It's a skill that you don't know about, and you have a tentative understanding.
Li Changan nodded, led Kui Dou, and walked into the forest.
Along.
In addition to the mess everywhere, there are also blood stains everywhere that have not been cleaned.
"The corpses and spirit cores of high-value spirit beasts have not been left behind."
Li Changan, who couldn't help complaining, continued to go deeper with Kuidou.
Once you enter the dense woods, it is full of broken trunks, ruined shrubs, and scattered leaves.
Because after the appearance of the catastrophic spirit beast, Fei Chengqing and other powerful spirit masters intervened, Li Changan got out of the danger zone, and he didn't know what happened in the end.
As we continue to go deeper.
The signs of destruction of the forest gradually decreased, and some relatively weak, even insignificant, wild spirit beasts also appeared in sight little by little.
There are rat spirit beasts hiding under the dead leaves and twitching their noses to find food, there are insect spirit beasts that slowly burrow out of the dead wood to feel whether there is danger, and there are also bird spirit beasts that quickly flash in the air, pick up the insects in the dead wood, and quickly disappear in the lush forest canopy.
Little by little, life appeared, announcing the official end of the disaster.
But.
These are all insignificant and not very threatening spirit beasts, but you don't need to pay special attention to them.
"Bracket......
Silently following behind Li Changan, Kui Dou, who was also moving slowly, stretched out his hand.
Gently touch the blade with your fingertips.
Whoa—
The big trees in this area, in the absence of wind, actually turned up one green wave after another, and the shallow forest waves.
Meanwhile.
Some of the sharp branches that were messily lying in front of Li Changan, some of the thick roots lying on the ground, and some of the lush shrubs full of thorns actually moved slowly, freeing up a winding path.
And on this path, it seems that all the plants have made way for Li Changan.
More precisely, it was Kuidou who made them open a path.
In this regard, Li Changan, who was accustomed to seeing the special abilities of spirit beasts, couldn't help but show a little surprise.
This ability, so far, has been fully demonstrated to be powerful.
It's not like the ability that a tree man subspecies spirit beast can present, but more like a ...... Forest elves.
"Well done, Kuito."
Li Changan affirmed the characteristics of his gradual mastery of this skill.
"Bracket ....."
Kuidou just smiled and scratched his head.
To be honest, it didn't really understand it, but when it touched some forest leaves just now, a thought flashed through its mind......
It would be nice if I could make a way for Li Changan, it should be much easier.
And so.
The path emerges.
The speed of walking was much faster all of a sudden, and it was getting closer and closer to the location that Kuidou said.
Not much.
Li Changan suddenly felt as if he had stepped into a primeval forest.
Most of the surrounding trees took three or four people to encircle, and the forest cover had moved from a position that would block their view to a higher altitude.
"According to the history of Molong City, this forest ...... It's a royal mausoleum of the ancient dynasty, right?" Li Changan thought so in his heart.
And once you enter this area, the impact of last night's disaster can almost be said to be gone.
Traces of wild spirit animals can be seen everywhere.
But.
Fortunately, it is during the daytime, and there is no time period for some predators to be active, so the risk factor is relatively low.
And.
The surroundings seem to be a little too quiet.
It's not the kind of silence that is full of danger everywhere, it's the kind of silence that is so pure, as if the owner who lives here has left.
"Tooth Beast?"
Li Changan picked up a fallen snow-white sharp tooth on the ground in an inconspicuous corner.
He recognized it as the fanged beast's sharp teeth.
Slowly straightened up, looked at the quiet woods around him, and muttered in some astonishment, "This is the habitat of those tusked beasts? More precisely...... Is it their territory?"
Look at Kuidou.
The big guy was also a little surprised at this time.
It didn't expect that the location of the information revealed to it by the birds and insects was actually in the territory of the group of toothed beasts that broke out last night.
An extremely dangerous place that should have been extremely dangerous, but once you enter, you will inevitably be attacked by a large number of toothed beasts, is now very safe.
Although the tooth beasts were cleared, the remnants of their legacy were still there, and no other spirit beast dared to enter this area in a short period of time.
Maybe in a few months, this place will be invaded and divided by other powerful spirit beasts, and become the territory of different spirit beasts.
But at least for now, it's safe here.
And it's not far from the place Kuidou said.
"It's all here, let's go and see."
Li Changan said.
In fact, Kuidou's ability has been certified, and the danger that the birds and insects say is naturally from the tooth beasts that *** last night....... Well?
Thinking about it, Li Changan was suddenly stunned.
"Kaidou, you said they sensed the danger a long time ago, so they left early, right?"
"Bracket."
Kuidou nodded blankly.
"However, the outbreak of the calamity occurred at the alternation of the red moons, and the fangs were affected, and it should have been at the time of the alternation of the red moons. For spirit beasts inhabiting their territory, the tooth beasts will inevitably attack wildly, but for wild animals or insects that are not dangerous, the tooth beasts Xia Ran will not care. That means that the animals shouldn't feel threatened until the red moon changes......
It seems that something has been thought of,
Li Changan couldn't help but speed up his pace.
On the road, traces of the survival of ivory beasts can be seen everywhere.
Soon.
A small dirt slope surrounded by a large number of white bones appeared in Li Changan's sight.
On the top of the small dirt slope, there was a dark cave.
After approaching.
A disgusting fishy smell crept into his nose uncontrollably.
"This is the cave of the three-eyed dreadtooth."
"Bracket!"
Kuidou nodded heavily, his expression becoming more serious, and his body tensed.
"There shouldn't be any danger, but stay vigilant."
Looking at Kui Dou's serious expression, Li Changan hesitated for a while, but still chose to summon it instead of Xiao Fan.
Kuidou's defensive ability is safer in the face of unknown situations.
Merely.
Before Li Changan could get close to the cave.
"Bracket!"
Kuidou suddenly strode forward, and as he raised his arms, countless pieces of wood chips from around the cave quickly converged towards it in all directions.
Shield!
A large, thick shield quickly appeared between its arms.
With the "Evolve Wood" skill that he has just completed, Kuidou has a stronger ability to control these wood products.
In terms of condensation speed, strength, etc., there has been a lot of improvement compared to the shield condensed by the "Weaving Wood" skill.
Bang!!
The dull sound suddenly burst out, and Kuidou's heavy body staggered back under the impact, and the shield between his arms shattered.
Li Changan's complexion changed slightly.
At the same time as the shield shattered, they saw the spirit beast that attacked them.
In front of him, there was a frog-like shape, but the size was comparable to that of a calf, covered with dark gray skin, with pimples and spots, and the most special thing was undoubtedly the three crimson bumps that protruded from the middle of its huge head.
"Black-spotted frog." Li Changan narrowed his eyes.
This is a kind of frog-like spirit beast, with the potential of being dangerously inferior, judging from the explosive power of the blow that attacked Kui Dou just now, it is estimated that it is probably the strength of the first to second orders of the restricted level.
The threat should not be underestimated.
After all, the current Kuidou has not yet superimposed "Indomitable Heart", and whether he can resist the attack is a question.
However, to Li Changan's surprise, why did a black-spotted frog appear in the cave of the three-eyed dreadtooth beast?
It stands to reason that even if the Three-Eyed Dreadtooth Beast died, the smell it left behind was simply not something that a black-spotted frog could resist and dare to approach.
Not even the cave of the Three-Eyed Tooth Beast, even this Tooth Beast territory should not be something it dares to approach.
Well?
Just when he wanted to retreat with Kuidou, Li Changan noticed that on the retreat of the black-spotted frog, there were two broken teeth.
And after attacking Kuidou, it didn't attack again, but instead showed its vice-murderous face, warning them not to continue to approach.
Powerful pretense.
But in the face of the threat of this black-spotted frog, Kui Dou was not afraid, and stood in front of Li Changan.
"It's ...... A spirit beast with a spirit master?" Li Changan suddenly understood.
Immediately afterward, he was thrilled as if he had been electrocuted.
"The plague that broke out among the tooth beasts last night was not purely due to the alternation of red moons, but also due to human factors?!"
It is no wonder that the birds and insects will sense the danger in advance and flee out of fear and fear......
Soul Vision!
From a special perspective, the spirit of this black-spotted frog is weaker than it appears on the surface.
Li Changan touched his waist and put one hand on Kui Dou's body.
And he saw the wood scattered on the ground
The chips, under its control, turned into a pair of hard wooden armor that was worn over him and Kuidou.
Wooden armor!
"Wait a minute."
Seeing that the collision was about to break out, a voice full of weakness and exhaustion suddenly came from the dark cavern.
Hearing this, the black-spotted frog put away a bit of intimidation.
But it was at this time that Li Changan and Kui Dou suddenly broke out.
Buzz –
A huge ball of emerald energy quickly condensed in its palm.
Lush bombs!
In this place where the vegetation is extremely dense, the speed of energy condensation is much faster than last night.
Wail!!
The black-spotted frog reacted a few seconds slower.
"I'm the Fierce Palace!"
Again, there was some rapidity and coughing in the cavern.
"Wait!"
Li Changan suddenly called a halt to Kuidou.
Murderous Palace?!
The "Evil Palace" of the "Astronomical Society"?
