Chapter Twenty-Five: The Wandering Beast's Suspicions

In the middle of Luoyan County, thirty miles south of Luoyan City, the county seat, is back to the Wind Valley.

"Sigh Rule~"

The neighing of wildebeest sounded one after another, and the more than forty wildebeest that were originally moving fast slowed down at this moment;

At the same time, the four hooves trembled softly, and there was a touch of human uneasiness in the horse's eyes, as if he was afraid of something.

"Alert!"

Jia Xinghan's face changed greatly, he closed his eyes and his nose moved quickly, and he opened his eyes after a few breaths, but his expression was a little ugly.

"My lord, my subordinates have smelled the breath of the Yin Beast! And it should be a stream beast, there are quite a few of them!"

Shangguan Wushu frowned slightly, he also felt that something was wrong, but he didn't notice anything abnormal in the air.

"Are you sure?"

"Sure, sir, you don't know, this nose is particularly sensitive to smells;

Moreover, his subordinates have been guarding Chiyang County for more than ten years, and they are extremely familiar with the rotten but dry aura of the flowing beasts!"

In the Yuanchen Continent, in addition to human beings, there are also three major types of groups that spread throughout the entire continent, such as Yuan Beasts, Yin Beasts, and Barbarian Ghosts.

The relationship between the Yuan Beast and humans is similar to that between humans and ordinary animals, they can coexist in harmony, but they will also fight each other, and the key is to look at wisdom and strength.

For example, the ordinary wildebeest is the lowest level of the first-level elemental beast equivalent to the human physical realm, because of its weak strength, large numbers, and a certain spirituality, it is used as a leg force to be tamed on a large scale.

And if a fourth- or fifth-level primordial beast passes by the human city one day, it is very likely that the city will be destroyed in a bad mood.

However, the relationship between Yin Beasts and Barbarian Spirits and humans is completely different, although they also have a certain amount of intelligence, they are naturally hostile to humans, and regard each other as mortal enemies!

Barbarian ghosts come in a variety of forms, and most of them turn into bones or ghost fire after death.

There are many types of Yin Beasts, most of which are similar to Yuan Beasts in appearance, but the whole body is condensed by Yin Qi;

After the Yin Beast dies, the Yin Qi of the whole body will turn into a thing, or an eye, or a scale armor, or a certain liquid, crystal, and so on.

However, although the barbarian ghosts and yin beasts feed on people and regard people as great supplements, the bones, ghost fires, and yin qi condensations left behind after their death also have different benefits for humans.

For example, the brocade robe of Jinyiwei is made of the Yin silk transformed by the Yin silkworm after its death, and the refining of many pills also requires Yin liquid and Yin crystal as the key medicine.

Legend has it that the reason why the Yin Beast was formed was because of the chaos in the underworld and the enchantment between the Yin and Yang worlds, and there were many loopholes;

The Yin Qi and Yin Spirit that were missing from the loopholes turned into Yin Beasts, and each hole also corresponded to a Yin Beast's lair.

As for the barbarian ghosts, it is said that in the primeval era, there was a race called the barbarian race that once dominated the Yuanchen Continent.

It's just that later, for some reason, the barbarians all died overnight;

And the souls of the dead who should have been thrown into the underworld could not enter smoothly because of the chaos in the underworld;

In this way, he was sandwiched at the junction of the two worlds of yin and yang, and suffered from the double tempering and erosion of yin and yang day and night.

Later, the barrier became more and more broken, and the barbarian ghosts also took the opportunity to rush back to the yang world, so that there was a four-legged trend of human, beast, barbarian, and yin that had lasted for millions of years!

......

After confirming this, Shangguan Invincible quickly glanced around, and when he saw a small piece of flow furnace rock hundreds of steps away on the left, his eyes couldn't help but light up.

"Obey the order! Immediately run to the stone ground on the left!"

"No!"

Dozens of brocade clothes Wei Qiang patted himself on the wildebeest, and more than a dozen breaths of kung fu had already arrived.

"Protect the wildebeest on the inside, and everyone will be smeared with yin powder! Leng Chuang led ten people to scatter and guard the inside, and the rest of the people followed the Ben Ya to guard the periphery!"

"No!"

Shangguan Invincible gave an order, and everyone pulled out their long knives one after another, and felt a pinch of gray-white dust in the pouch around their waists and smeared it on the blade;

A group of wrestlers carrying crossbows also painted the arrows of the crossbow with dust.

The reason why Yin Beasts are difficult to deal damage to them is that ordinary weapons are difficult to deal damage to, and they must pass through some medium.

And Yin powder is one of them, and it is an indispensable part of Jinyiwei's many equipment.

It's a pity that the main ingredient of Yin powder comes from the Yin Beast, and it cannot be equipped on a large scale, and many people will die at the hands of the Yin Beast every year.

And the reason why I want to hide in this rocky place is because the Wandering Beast is a very difficult outlier among the Yin Beasts;

Most of the Yin Beasts are active in the dark shadows of the night, and it is difficult for ordinary people to see their tracks.

Not only can the Wandering Beast travel back and forth between the shadows, but it can also shuttle through the underground, and can deliver a fatal blow without a sound!

Therefore, the softer the soil, the more beneficial it is for the Drift Beasts, like the sandy land of the Drift Beast Desert, that is the paradise of the Drift Beasts!

It was precisely because of this characteristic of the flowing beast that Shangguan Invincible chose the battlefield in the stone land.

In this way, the ability of the drift beast to penetrate the ground will be cut by half.

Even if there are still people who don't want to emerge from the stone ground, the movement will be very slow, and there should be no problem with Leng Chuang and ten people watching.

Shangguan Invincible stood at the forefront expressionlessly, his senses were expanded to the extreme, and he carefully paid attention to the wind and grass around him.

Although he had seen Yin Beasts before, it was the second time he had actually fought each other, especially with a weird and difficult guy like a Wandering Beast.

He didn't know how many beasts there were around, and he didn't know the strength of the other party, so he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.

"Woo~~~"

With a sound like a ghost crying and a nightingale's cry continued to spread in the Valley of the Wind, everyone was shocked and clenched the weapons in their hands.

After a while, gray, ape-like silhouettes quietly emerged from the ground in front of them.

They were like clumps of gas, and they didn't destroy a piece of soil that emerged from the place.

On closer inspection, these stray beasts looked like they were composed of a gray liquid that had been diluted several times over, and they were about a head taller than ordinary people;

The arms with dim light and shadow are all carrying gray liquid sticks half a foot long, and the position of their pupils is gray, and I wonder if what they see in their eyes is the same as that of humans?

But at the moment, it was obvious that no one had the heart to think about this, and there were too many of these wandering beasts.

In less than ten breaths of effort, hundreds of them have already appeared, and as time passes, more and more flowing beasts have appeared.

After more than thirty breaths, there was finally no new flow beast emerging in the field, and at this time, its number had already exceeded.

Shangguan Invincible's face still did not change, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Because the information given to him by the True Eye Technique showed that most of these flow beasts were in the late stage of the first level, and only a few or so were in the second level.

However, just when Shangguan Invincible thought that there was no change, more than fifty rogue beasts suddenly appeared in the distance.

When the True Eye Technique saw through its information, Shangguan Invincible's eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of gloom.

Because these are almost all late level 2, the only exception is five early stage 3, and one late stage 3!

At this time, Shangguan Invincible finally realized that something was wrong.

Originally, he thought that this was just some wandering beasts that had accidentally flowed over, but looking at this posture, it was obvious that he had mobilized elite forces to stay here!

This is a place of waiting for the rabbit and man-made death!

Flowing beasts of this realm should not have this wisdom, in other words, this is someone who is specially planning to want their own lives!

According to the understanding and cognition of ordinary people, it is impossible for humans to communicate with Yin beasts and brute ghosts;

But because of his background, he knows a lot of secrets.

For example, humans can also trade with highly intelligent Yin Beasts and Brutes!

Now recalling Ning Ji's previous sentence that the former Baihu was harmed by the Wandering Beast, Shangguan Invincible seemed to know something in his heart, but he had more doubts.

The death of the last hundred households is definitely controlled by someone behind the scenes!

But who could it be, and why did he do it?

And Ning Ji said that, was it unintentional, or was he secretly threatening himself?

Or is he in an antagonistic relationship with the manipulator behind this and doesn't want the other party to succeed?

Everything seemed to be a huge fog, and Shangguan Wushu didn't have the slightest clue at the moment.

One thing he was sure of was though!

That is, the manipulator behind this will not only miscalculate this time, but will also be found out by him and cut off his head by him!

Although the other party was cautious enough to send out enough strength to destroy four or five hundred households, he would not know his invincible means!

"Of these more than 300, only a dozen or so are second-level, and the others are first-level, so you can deal with them carefully. ”

Shangguan Invincible pointed in front of him, and then swept towards the more than fifty stream beasts in the distance.

"No, be careful!"

Jia Xinghan and the others responded respectfully, watching Shangguan's invincible figure gradually disappear, but they didn't have much to worry about.

After all, in the battle of Haoyang Sect, they had already seen the fierceness of their own hundred households.

With that kind of strength, I'm afraid that even the ninety layers of Xuan Liquid may not be an opponent, right?

"Woooo

Seeing that Shangguan Invincible swept straight past the group of ordinary stream beasts and headed straight towards them, the late-stage third-stage stream beast that was close to the height seemed to be enraged, and suddenly let out a terrible and unpleasant roar.

Then, all the flowing beasts hissed and quickly attacked the Jinyi Guard.

"Don't panic! The weakness of this stray beast is in the throat and eye sockets, with our strength, as long as we aim at it, we can kill it with one blow!

Yuan crossbow ready!"

Jia Xinghan took the initiative to take over the command, and the long knife in his hand was raised and held high to the sky.

"Put!"

As Jia Xinghan's long knife slashed downward, more than thirty sharp mangs suddenly shot out.

Then I saw the bodies of more than twenty wandering beasts shake sharply, and then they dissipated into invisibility like a cloud of smoke, leaving only fist-sized black beads quietly falling to the ground.

Seeing this scene, all the brocade guards suddenly felt certain in their hearts.

Many of them have never dealt with the flow before, so they are more or less apprehensive in their hearts.

But at this time, they all calmed down, and they didn't feel anything terrible.

"Threesome, stabilize the formation, and crush head-on!"

The distance between the two sides is already very close, the speed of the flowing beast is not slow, and their crossbow is only a single shot, and it is too late to wind it again.

Yes, Jia Xinghan directly gave the order for melee combat.

"No!"

The brocade-clothed guards guarding the front suddenly agreed, forming a dozen or so small triangular formations, calmly staring at the approaching beasts.
