Chapter Forty-Seven: The Stone Beast
Three days later, before the Pavilion of the Scriptures.
Murong Lan, Nalan Qing, Jing Yi, and Feng Yuanan looked at the lazy old man in front of them, and Nalan Qing said, "Teacher, let's come here to see what tasks we can take." ”
The old man didn't raise his head, but looked at the book in his hand seriously, "There is a strange beast on the edge of the Devil's Mountain Range, which looks like a pangolin, but it is larger than a pangolin, called a stone piercing beast, the demon core of these stone piercing beasts can be used as a primary scroll, if you have enough strength, you can also go and find it, a thousand demon cores will do." As he spoke, the old man raised his hand, and four beams of light entered the waist cards of the four people, "The time is within ten days." After the old man finished speaking, he turned the page of the book in his hand.
"There's still a time limit?" Nalan Qing frowned, not knowing what she was thinking.
After receiving the mission, the four of them immediately set off, walking along the official road, and after three days, they reached the edge of the Devil's Mountain Range. The Devil's Mountain Range is a small mountain range, but there are many types of monsters in it, and they are generally of a low level. There is no danger.
The four of them came this time to complete the mission, and the second was to play around here, after all, each student only has the opportunity to go out to do the task once a month. After frolicking and moving forward, the surrounding trees gradually grew taller, and the four of them also entered the edge of the Devil's Mountain Range, and as soon as they arrived, several people lowered their voices.
"Although the level of the Stone Piercing Beast is relatively low, it is a demon beast that lives in groups, so we have to be careful. Murong Lan slowly reined in her breath.
At this time, Nalan Qing was standing in an open place, releasing his momentum to attract the stone-piercing beast. Among these people, Nalan Qing's cultivation is considered to be the highest, and he already has the cultivation of the "Soul Call" realm, which is the third level of the soul power realm, and the physical body realm has also reached the fourth level of giant elephant power. At this moment, she exuded her aura to attract the stone-piercing beasts around her.
The Stone Beast likes to eat human hair, especially monk's hair, which can be said to be a quirk. At this moment, Nalan Qing's own aura will naturally play a great role, and after a while, more than thirty stone-piercing beasts have gathered around. But these stone-piercing beasts didn't make any moves, they just stood still, waiting for their companions to arrive, and in their eyes, the aura emitted by Nalan Qing was very powerful.
These stone-piercing beasts are more than a meter tall, their bodies are covered with a layer of scale armor, and their forked tongues spit out from time to time. The black scale armor covered every corner of the stone-piercing beast's body, and there were several barbs on the shoulders, which looked very hideous. These scales are also extremely defensive, and are often used as a material for making zuò chain mail. Behind these stone-piercing beasts dragged their thick tails half a meter long, which could break a tree the size of a bowl with a single flick.
Seeing that there were more than thirty stone-piercing beasts nearby, Nalan Qing stopped releasing his breath, slowly raised his right hand, and made a gesture towards the place where Jing Yi and the three of them were hiding, and then raised his hand, only to see that many water elements in the air were gathering towards Nalan Qing, and then more than a dozen ice picks were shooting towards a place where stone-piercing beasts were dense. This attack was quite fast, those stone-piercing beasts were already slow to react, and they didn't even dodge, and with a bang, the scale armor of several stone-piercing beasts in that place was covered with a thick layer of frost, and they all shrank into a ball.
Successfully killed? No, not at all, the defense of the stone piercing beasts is very strong, and Nalan Qing is just slowing down their movements this time. Then, Jing Yi's three people in the dark shot out, Jing Yi's spear was already in his hand, the tip of the spear was raised, and a stone-piercing beast was provoked, and then the tip of the spear was quickly slashed on the belly of the stone-piercing beast, and a bright blood flower spilled out, accompanied by a light gray demon core. Without caring about picking it up, Jing Yi's whole person rushed out again, and under the shining spear, Jing Yi's eyes revealed a bloodthirsty light.
Even Jing Yi himself didn't know that when he summoned Zhao Xin, the souls of the two people had a blend, and Zhao Xin's battle-hardened aura infected him a little, because Jing Yi's cultivation was too low, so he couldn't carry out deep integration with Zhao Xin, if Jing Yi's cultivation was improved, Zhao Xin's combat consciousness would completely enter his mind, and after a long run-in, it would be completely integrated with him.
Feng Yuan'an's body is elegant, and his hands have turned into claw shapes, which is the skill brought by his soul, and he is berserk. In the orc era, the Beamon Behemoth was known as the unparalleled in land warfare and had the strongest physique. Although Feng Yuan'an did not fuse with the soul at the moment, he could still use Bimon's skill, which was the inheritance of the soul to him. Feng Yuan'an's claws were like hooks, shuttling among the dozen or so stone-piercing beasts, he was just blindly attacking, without any defense at all, if he was fighting against people, there were too many flaws in his body, but now he was facing only thirty or forty stone-piercing beasts.
Feng Yuan'an's attack can be described as very strong, one claw grabbed the back of the stone-piercing beast, and a lot of sparks came out, which also shows how strong the defense of these stone-piercing beasts is, if you don't start from the belly, it is difficult to hurt them.
Murong Lan was sweating profusely at the moment, and there were four or five stone-piercing beasts in front of her, which were now entangled by vines emerging from the ground. If a skill is used against multiple targets at the same time, it will inevitably consume a lot of spiritual power and soul power, but these vines also have devouring attached to them, so these stone-piercing beasts will not be able to hurt Murong Lan for a while. Even if she doesn't have soul power, Murong Lan is very terrifying, but that 100,000 catties of huge power is enough for these guys to eat a pot, so everyone is the least worried about Murong Lan, a "delicate" little girl.
Nalan Qing condensed a sword with cold ice, constantly shooting out cold air, reducing the speed of most of the stone-piercing beasts, but Jing Yi didn't take care of it, presumably because she was still haunted by the "chest attack incident" that day. Jing Yidao didn't say anything, he took advantage of himself, and it was also appropriate for the family to vent.
Although these thirty or forty stone-piercing beasts were difficult to fight, for these four people, it was almost only half a cup of tea, and the ground was already full of the corpses of stone-piercing beasts. Murong Lan picked up all the demon cores and put them in a small bag. There is a lot of space inside this small bag, which is a storage vessel, and it also contains the clothes and dry food that several people have changed in the past few days. Space artifacts are very rare, and generally speaking, only some nobles can collect them.
After picking up the demon cores scattered on the ground, several people quickly left here, the time of the battle just now was not short, the air was filled with a strong smell of blood, and it would not be long before some of the fierce beasts around them would come here. The Stone Piercing Beast is a group demon beast, and after a while, there may be more Stone Piercing Beasts coming, and it is not easy to resist at all.
Sure enough, not long after a few people left, there was a very fierce fighting sound in this place, and there was also a strong coercion, presumably those companions of the stone-piercing beasts came and provoked some powerful demon beasts.
The four of them continued to move forward, killing some of the smaller groups of stone-piercing beasts from time to time to obtain the demon core, and if there was enough time, they also peeled off the scales and claws of those stone-piercing beasts. The claws of the stone-piercing beast are extremely hard, and they are the material used to make zuò mystical objects, and you can also exchange these things for some money in the city. Of course, the work of peeling off the scale armor of these stone-piercing beasts was done by Feng Yuanan and Jing Yi.
After walking for a while, the four of them had already arrived in the middle of the outer part of the Devil Mountain Range, and there were more than four hundred demon cores collected, and it was a little dark at this moment, so they found a flat place, and Murong Lan took out the tent from the cloth bag on his waist.
"You two, hurry up, hurry up and set up your tent, it's getting dark, and there may be monster attacks. "Nalan Qing's attitude towards Jing Yi has improved a little, and when she hunted the Stone Piercing Beast today, she saved her several times, and even suffered some minor injuries because of saving her. In Nalan Qing's heart, the hatred for Jing Yi's chest faded a lot unconsciously.
"One or two tents?" Jing Yi asked extremely obscenely, which suddenly made Nalan Qing's face a little colder.
"Really? Then you can give it a try. Murong Lan smiled skillfully, with a bit of banter in her eyes.
"Uh...... I'll take two of them. Jing Yi couldn't help but have black lines on his head, he had been abused by this little girl in the past few days, but he couldn't beat her, which made Jing Yi extremely angry, but he was still a little warm in addition to his anger, he could always see the shadow of his sister on Murong Lan's body.
