XXIV. Maps
A narrow and cramped path surrounded by lush vegetation and untouched.
Suddenly, the blades shook, and in the shadows, something seemed to move, followed by a wriggling and crawling sound.
A small crimson snake with a turquoise blue twisted and crawled out.
Just as the little snake was spitting out its core and swimming happily, one of the many vines wrapped around the tall trees suddenly bounced up.
This vine, unlike the tiny vine that had attacked them for the first time before, was extremely thick, and looked very much like a cyan, huge python.
And at its tip, there was a flower, and the flower was crimson and bewitching.
The moment it popped up, the flowers on it also immediately opened, leaking out a mouth full of sharp teeth or spikes.
The little snake did not sit still, and the moment the flower opened its mouth, it coiled itself up, and a flame spat out of its mouth.
The flames shot in, and the flowers opened their mouths, and with the help of the fire oil, the flames were extremely powerful.
The burning iron vine flower demon let out a sharp roar, and with its roar, the vines in the nearby trees began to wake up.
Among them, from time to time, there was a snake roar, which was clearly entering the waist demon nest.
The iron vine flower demon buried the flower bones into the soil, and finally stopped the flames after a burst of smashing and sucking.
Then it plucked the flower bones out of the soil, though they had been destroyed, and they were not in shape.
But it was still, extremely tenacious, and opened its bloody mouth to gnaw at the little snake.
A corrosive venom, several times more violent than before, was ejected.
The Thorn Iron Vine Flower Demon let out an even sharper scream, and the surrounding Thorn Iron Vine Flower Demon was all woken up.
Among them, you can faintly see red or green pythons, shuttling in it.
That is, when this iron vine flower demon, after screaming, endured the pain and wanted to bite the little red snake.
A knife that emitted heat, seeing the right time, slashed at its flower bones, and the two intersected to make a stabbing sound, and the violent heat made it emit a burst of burning smell.
The flower bones were cut off, and Wei Lin slashed towards the vines of the iron vine flower demon,
After a burst of golden iron roar, the iron vine flower demon was cut off by the waist, and the remaining half of the vine, flowing with green slime, hung weakly on the ground.
He put away his knife and looked at the iron vine flower demons in front of him, which opened one by one, and the snake demons that were crawling among them.
Not even the first time, this is the third group of demon beasts they have encountered, or rather found.
After four hunts, as well as from the records of bamboo slips, they have mastered the habits of this group of demon beasts.
That's right, the bamboo slips actually recorded about the iron vine and the green snake fire snake, but they didn't see it at first.
It's not that they are blind, but it's written in this word, and it's written so much that it's too big for people to recognize.
At first, when he saw it roughly, Wei Lin felt that this map was, although simple, but barely enough.
But after really looking closely, I found that although this drawing looks decent, in fact, it is full of errors.
It's a bit like shooting homework, although it looks like it's written, it's full, and it's decent, but if you really look closely, you'll find that the words on it are vague and plausible.
I don't understand it, it's painted on it.
And Wei Lin found that they went up the wrong mountain, to be precise, they went in the wrong direction.
The reason why the horns of the ear mountain got this name is because it is composed of a pedestal that connects the two peaks, the conjoined mountain.
The Scorpion Wolf King is in the East Mountain, and they are on the West Mountain, although there are also many on the West Mountain, scorpion wolves, but killing them is completely meaningless to complete the task.
Although, Wei Lin carefully observed, and the map found that there was not much difference between the east mountain and the west mountain.
The road is not close, and you have to cross a mountain.
But Wei Yuan was still very surprised about the map, but Wei Yuan was not surprised by this.
The map sent by the demon fang, like the official temple, is the same as the equipment, and it requires one situation, but what is done is another situation.
On the one hand, drawing a map is a troublesome thing, unlike a martial artist who slashes demons, with a knife down, people get up and down, and just bring their heads back.
Confucian scholars and Legalists, to draw a map, need to run all over the mountains and draw down the terrain.
Not to mention tired, and in many places, there are powerful demon beasts.
Some of them are more advanced than the Confucian or Legalist who is in charge of drawing maps.
Drawing near them is a joke on your life.
Therefore, the map around here, the person in charge of drawing, naturally draws as fast as he can, and there are certain errors in itself.
And they didn't take the original version, but someone who was responsible for transcribing it.
The people who are responsible for transcribing and copying, although there are officials of the government, but more of them are people who are pulled into strong dings, and only know a hundred or ten, or even, a dozen words.
They needed to find out what they needed for the mission in a pile of half-human-tall bamboo slips, and then transcribe them accurately.
The difficulty is no less than asking a group of people who don't even know the English alphabet to find the content to use in a paper of tens of thousands of words, and then copy it down.
There is nothing wrong with this copy, there is a ghost.
Therefore, most of the time, the warriors do not look at the map at all.
They just need to know what the enemy is in that area, what it is called, what it looks like, and then it is enough to feel recklessly.
However, the bamboo slips in their hands are still a little useful.
At least, even those who guessed also found some content about the habits of iron vines and green snakes and fire snakes.
First of all, this group of iron vines and snake demon beasts lived in the same area, unsupervised and savagely grown, and during this time, a mutually beneficial relationship was formed between them.
The iron vine has a green body, and the red stamens and climbing branches are intertwined, which can provide a good shade for the fire snake and the green snake.
The green snake and the fire snake are responsible for spreading the seeds for them.
And because the iron rattan cannot move, when there is no prey that throws itself into the net, the green snake and the fire snake will catch the prey and feed the iron rattan.
However, although they are a mutually beneficial relationship, it does not mean that they are good partners who share weal and woe.
Compared with good partners, they are more like a kind of partnership relationship, in order to survive, forced to live together, husband and wife are the same forest birds, fly separately when disaster comes, and live together.
When food is scarce, the green snake and the fire snake will eat the seeds produced by the iron vine that blooms and bears fruit.
What's more, they will even eat the iron vine by the roots.
It's completely nostalgic.
And the iron vine is not good at stubble, when they are hungry, they will also take advantage of the green snake and the fire snake, and eat their young without paying attention to satisfy hunger.
And Wei Lin and them took advantage of this to lure Tie Teng to expose his tracks.
Because as they went deeper into the valley, the iron vines and green snakes, their strength increased a lot, and their senses became more acute.
They could feel that Wei Yuan didn't dare to attack them at all, one by one, hiding tightly.
And if they don't do it, it's hard for them to find out, they can't go vine by vine, cut it down, when do you have to cut it.
In the end, they decided to let the little red snake go.
It has no mind and is very weak, and it is a snake cub, as long as it slips around, there will always be hungry iron vines who can't bear it and are tricked out.
The only problem is that this task is still quite dangerous for the mindless, after all, he is so little, and so weak, if he is not careful, he may be really swallowed again.
But fortunately, licking the dog and snake is not afraid of this, and when I heard that I could share the worries of the master, I didn't have the brains to be direct, and I was excited.
Don't worry about yourself at all, you might be eaten.
And the effect is also remarkable.
Wei Lin looked at his father next to him, and in an instant, Wei Yuan clenched his war saber and rushed out like a gust of wind.
"Blood drink with a knife."
Wei Yuan shouted, the war horse sword, instantly slashed out, the surging blood gushed out, and the blood qi swam away.
Converged into a thirty or forty meters long, crimson huge blade, the blade slashed out in an instant, cutting a large piece of iron vines in front of it, as well as the green snake fire snake, all half killed.
With the giant trees and a large area of dense forest behind it, a ravine more than ten feet long has been cleared.
As far as the eye could see, the ground was full of half-lifed, green slime, iron vines and green snakes and fire snakes.
It can be described as a bumper harvest.
Drinking blood with a knife, it is Wei Lin and they discussed it after summarizing their experience several times, although it is used, it is a particularly powerful move.
If you don't control the power, you may hack some of them to death, but as long as you restrain a little, you won't hack too much.
It's better than before, one by one, although it is easy to control, but it is more than half of it is run away.
Looking at it, the demon beasts on the ground, although they are still snakes and iron vines, but in Wei Lian's eyes, they have already become, yin qi and imprints.
