Kara~

The blade cut off the branches, and the shotgun in the other hand served as a wooden stick to remove the debris, Lu Jing stepped out of the bushes, in front of him was a towering forest with thick trunks, and under his feet was a soft mud ground paved with fallen leaves and weeds, and behind him was Xu Zu, who was holding a treasure map of living points.

Although it was noon, the light in the forest was not as bright as expected, due to the influence of the dense tree canopy on the upper floors, most of the woodland below was shaded, coupled with the intertwined roots of the tree roots and the occasional large boulders lying across the road, the surface layer was covered with slippery moss, which also invisibly increased the difficulty of advancing and the possibility of being ambushed by fierce beasts, making Lu Jing have to cheer up every step forward.

Lu Jing jumped on his knees, climbed a stone platform, turned around and stretched out his hand to Xu Xu: "How far are we left?"

"The map shows that the location of the treasure is in the central and eastern part of the Treasure Beast Island, and it takes about an hour and a half to walk, the terrain here is really complicated, no wonder the people who buried the treasure at the beginning deliberately made a treasure map of the living point, relying on hand-drawn alone, and they couldn't find a place to come back in two or three years. ”

With the help of Lu Jing's strength, Xu Xi looked at the footprints on the treasure map of the living point, and said with emotion.

With this treasure map, they only need to follow the footprints above, make some marks along the way, and don't need to specifically identify the direction at all.

"An hour and a half...... Okay, if we're lucky, we might be able to get back on the boat for the night today. ”

Lu Jing looked down at the watch he bought on Huashu Island earlier, it was only one o'clock in the afternoon, and at this time, it was at least half past six at night, so he patted the bulging backpack behind him and said.

They also have the equipment for camping, but they can sleep on the dry beds on the Tidestream, who wants to be in the company of insects and beasts in this damp woodland?

"I hope so. ”

Xu Chu twisted his shoulders and wiped the beads of sweat on his face, although he has recently started exercising again, it will undoubtedly take a process to return to his former state, and now his body is still weak, it is no problem to stand still and shoot, if you really have to travel a long distance, the weakness of insufficient physical strength will be difficult to avoid.

"Or I'm ......"

Lu Jing was about to take Xu Chu's backpack, but the black shadow that suddenly flashed above his head made him immediately raise his head and be alert.

I saw a large bird with a body length of more than 3 meters, and I don't know the species suddenly flew between the branches, and the wind and waves set off by the vibrating wings broke down many branches and leaves.

Boom~

After the big bird flew over, there was another sound of birds in the jungle on Lu Jing's right.

"Be careful!"

Putting away the short knife for the time being, Lu Jing glanced at the bullet loading status of the shotgun and said in a muffled voice.

If it were a human being, it would not have been possible to cause such a big disturbance.

Roar!!!

Sure enough, not far from walking forward, a muffled roar suddenly sounded in the direction of the commotion just now.

"This kind of roar is not something that ordinary beasts can make, it should be the fierce beast on this island, or the monster that has caused panic on the island recently...... It's not easy to judge the specific distance from the sound alone, do you want to take a look?"

"Are you on our way?"

"No. ”

"Then let's not go over, you wait here, I'll go to the tree to see the situation. ”

As soon as he heard that it was not on the necessary route, Lu Jing immediately gave up the idea of going over to check, and he didn't want to make trouble before getting the treasure.

I looked around and found a tree with a lot of branches, put down my backpack and took three steps and two steps forward and jumped up, relying on my own strength to climb the branches, and easily climbed to a height of seven or eight meters.

He took out a monocular from his waist and looked in the direction of the voice he had just heard.

Everywhere you look, there is a dense jungle, sweeping left and right, but there is still no gain, just as Lu Jing was about to return, a target unexpectedly appeared in the lens of the telescope.

Lu Jing adjusted his posture and let the telescope camera follow the figure running through the forest, not the expected monster, but a person in a tan leather trench coat and carrying an extremely strange weapon.

He moved extremely fast, judging from the dexterity of moving and moving between woodland obstacles, he knew that he was not an ordinary person, and in addition to the fact that he was acting alone, he did not look like he was accompanied by a companion, and this person undoubtedly had plenty of confidence in his own strength.

Since the two sides were already separated by a short distance, the figure disappeared into the jungle in just a few seconds.

Phew!

"Captain!

Xu Chu's warning sounded almost at the same time as the hissing overhead.

Lu Jing's reaction speed naturally did not need to be doubted, and the first time he sensed the danger, he kicked on the trunk of the tree beside him and jumped to the left for a distance.

The hook claw crushed the branch of the thickness of the adult's forearm, and the sharp beak kept pecking all the time, Lu Jing hurriedly drew the knife and crossed in front of him, only to hear the sound of "bell~", and his body couldn't help but retreat back a distance.

Bang!

The support from Xu Ji under the tree had already begun, and when the blood on the monster's body was splashing, Lu Jing could see its appearance clearly.

Their eyes widened in surprise, and the attacker in front of them was the huge monster bird that had flown over their heads before!

Xu Ju's shot hit its wings obviously caused it a lot of trouble, and it was about to rise into the air again after struggling with difficulty, but at this time, Lu Jing, who had already freed his hand, hooked another branch under it with his left hand, and after turning over, he stood up again, and the short knife in his hand was replaced by a shotgun that had been carried on his back.

Bang!

With a head-on spray and a second shot, the strange bird didn't struggle anymore, and its head fell.

A beast is a beast, and its sheer size does not hide its essential fragility, and a bullet to the head is enough to kill it.

When Lu Jing landed again with some branches and leaves, all he could receive was a few wisps of dispensable energy injected into the torrent card.

"Didn't this bird fly over before, how could it turn back and attack me?"

Lu Jing looked at the ground and looked at some familiar strange birds, frowned and asked.

"I don't know...... Maybe it's thinking of you like a monkey, and like this physique bird, monkeys are in their recipes. ”

Blowing away the smoke that had not dispersed from the muzzle, Xu Ji's eyes turned around on the blood hole in the center of the bird's head, and then landed on its abdomen, paused, leaned down and pushed up part of the bird's corpse, revealing a scar on its abdomen that had not yet scabbed over and the flesh was blurred with blood.

"Now I know, it was wounded just now, so that it became ferocious, and as for turning back to attack you, maybe your body is similar to the person who hurt it before. ”

"No, my hand can't do this kind of injury!"

Lu Jing flexed his five fingers, compared the scratch that was obviously two circles larger than the abdomen of the strange bird, and shook his head and said.
