Ji Xinghuo and the three of them also came to the edge of the cliff and looked into the distance and saw a large area of steep peaks.

None of these mountains are particularly high, most of them are below 500 meters, a few can exceed 1,000 meters, and the highest peaks that can be seen in the field of vision are only more than 2,000 meters high.

However, almost every mountain peak is rocky.

The terrain is extremely steep, high and low are scattered, you can see cliffs and stone pillar platforms everywhere, covered with dense green plants and jungles, deep streams are dense, flowing water is murmuring, pieces of clouds and mist are shrouded in the mountains, and the stone peaks suspended in the sky can be seen in the distance, just like a fairyland on earth.

Ji Xinghuo remembered the karst landforms on the earth, the most famous of which is the Tianmen Mountain Scenic Area.

However, it is more magnificent and majestic than Tianmen Mountain.

"Peak Valley!"

"I've heard about it before and finally saw it with my own eyes."

Looking at the magnificent scenery, Chi Zhonglu suddenly rummaged in his backpack a few times, took out a camera and took pictures of the mountains and rivers in the distance.

Ji Xinghuo was a little curious, "What kind of camera is this, and it can be used?" ”

"Old-fashioned film cameras, which don't use electricity, use mechanical shutters and disposable flash bubbles, which are very testing of photography." After taking a few pictures of the scales in the pool, he turned around and asked, "Xinghuo, do you want me to take a few pictures of you?" When you go back, you can rinse it out as a souvenir. ”

"Yes."

Ji Xinghuo readily agreed, this was an experience he had never had.

He followed the requirements of the scales in the pool, with his back to the peak valley, facing the camera, his right hand in a scissor hand position, and a smile on his face.

"Come closer, keep your head high, don't smile so stiffly, be natural."

"Yes, yes, yes......"

"Okay, hold still."

"Ready, 3, 2, 1!"

Click!

The white light flashed, and the image of this moment was reflected on the film. Chi Zhongliang asked Ji Xinghuo to change a few positions, and took dozens of shots in a row until he ran out of this roll of film.

Ji Xinghuo looked at him very professionally, fiddled with the camera, and asked curiously: "Zhonglan, you are a professional photographer?" ”

"It's my hobby, I'm a veteran photographer." "The film camera is the most traditional photographic equipment, and there is a classical beauty, and those who can take good pictures with the film camera are truly smart photographers." ”

Ji Xinghuo saw a rare seriousness on his face, solemn and enthusiastic.

He doesn't understand, but he understands.

In this day and age, most people have their own hobbies.

No matter how niche hobbies can form circles, like-minded friends get together and study deeply, and each circle constitutes the society of the Asia-Pacific Community, giving birth to a lot of "folk masters", generally called "unique brothers".

Ren Mian and Jiang Nan Caiyi had long known Chi Zhong's hobbies, so they weren't surprised.

"Would you like to take a few shots too?" Ike Zhongyan asked.

Ren Mian shook his head.

"I've taken a lot of photos for me before." Jiangnan Caiyi also refused.

"You can take a picture with Starfire."

Chi Zhongliang's proposal immediately moved Jiang Nancaiyi, and seeing that Ji Xinghuo had no objection, she happily stood beside her, and the two took more than a dozen group photos in a row.

"I'll take a picture with Starfire too." Ren Mian suddenly walked over and stood beside Ji Xinghuo.

Click!

The picture freezes on film, as if it were eternal.

"Alright, it's time to get down to business."

Ren Mian asked Chi Zhongliang to put away the camera, and Zhengse said: "In the next half month, we will all spend the next half month in the Peak Valley, and we have only one goal, that is, to find the Stone Scythe Giant Ray." ”

"Is there really a stone sickle?" Pond scales looked skeptical.

"I've gotten news from three sources, someone has seen the Stone Scythe Giant in the Peak Valley, and more than ninety percent of it is true, so I have to give it a try anyway." Ren Mian took out a map showing the geographical distribution of the peak valley and pointed out his current location.

Chi Zhongfeng looked at the endless Shifeng Valley and sighed: "The Peak Valley is so big, to find a stone sickle giant in it is almost like looking for a needle in a haystack, it all depends on luck." ”

"yes......"

Ji Xinghuo also nodded.

He had already heard Ren Mian say yesterday that the original target of this hunt was the Stone Scythe Giant Ray.

It is an omnivorous beast that resembles a baboon.

But they are much more terrifying than baboons, larger, stronger, faster, have four arms, are very good at climbing rocks and trees, are ferocious by nature but like to live in groups, have a certain amount of low-level intelligence, know how to set traps to ambush prey, as long as they provoke one, a whole group will swarm up.

When the Stone Scythe awakens to become a monster, it will master the "Stone Scythe Claw" or "Rock Skin".

The former is a premium ability, but it's of little value.

It turns both hands into a pair of hard, sharp stone claws, like scythes, which is very powerful, but this ability is not in any of the class templates, and very few people can fuse it, so it doesn't sell for much.

Rock Skin, on the other hand, is a base ability, but there are some Inhumans who try to fuse to increase their defense.

But it's not very valuable, about twenty or thirty thousand.

However, as Stone Scythe continues to grow to the elite and then evolve again, it will become a superhuman monster, the Scythe Giant, with a good chance of awakening an over-limit ability, Earth Pulsation!

Earth Pulse is the core ability of Earthwalker.

It's rare, it's powerful.

Of course, it's also worth the money!

The area of the Peak Valley is very large, some people estimate that it may reach 50,000 square kilometers, which is equivalent to a province with a small jurisdiction, and there are millions of stone sickles living in it, they are the hegemon of this area, almost a kingdom of their own, and no one dares to mess with it.

The larger the number of monsters, the stronger the superior monsters born in the population.

Superior monsters can not only awaken the abilities in their genes, but they can also fuse different species and master more abilities like intelligent creatures.

The Stone Scythe Giant is one such monster.

"We're here to try our luck." Ren Mian said with a smile: "There are not only stone sickles in the Peak Valley, they are only the most powerful species. In addition, there are hundreds of monsters, and there may be something else to gain. ”

"Let's go, let's go in."

A moment later.

Ji Xinghuo and his party climbed over the cliff and entered the peak valley.

The name is "Valley", in fact, it is an endless group of mountains, walking in it, looking up to see are strange peaks and cliffs, beside it is a high cliff and dense forest, there are also many deep valleys hidden, the terrain is very complicated, humid and sultry, the air is shrouded in clouds and mist, if you are not careful, you will get lost.

It's a paradise for adventurers and a hell for ordinary people.

"Get out of the way of this tree."

Ji Xinghuo pointed to the top of his head in front of him, and there was a big snake with a whole green body wrapped around the shade of the tree, thicker than an arm, hidden in the green leaves and difficult to find.

"Iron Arrow." Pond scales pursed their lips and walked out of the way.

This snake is not venomous, but it has rough skin and thick flesh, and likes to hide in trees and pounce on its prey like an arrow, and if it evolves into a monster, it will awaken the "Iron Scale" ability, which is highly valuable.

He walked around a few meters, and a thick centipede swooped out of the grass, fangs and claws, and tore at his shoe.

Burst!

The scales in the pond stepped on the big centipede with one foot, and complained: "This place in the Peak Valley looks good from the outside, but on the inside, it is simply torturous. ”

Ji Xinghuo agrees very much and has a deep understanding.

His magnetic field sensed something more, and there were creatures all around him.

Poisonous snakes, insects, mosquitoes, flies, birds and all kinds of small animals, from the trees to the ground, as well as in the rock crevices and dark corners, densely packed, just within a hundred meters of hidden creatures are innumerable, countless magnetic fields overlapped, a chaos.

Ren Mian is no stranger to this, and his face has not changed much.

Jiangnan Caiyi is a little scared, women are naturally afraid of insects and snakes, and it is difficult to overcome this psychological shadow even if they become strangers.

Suddenly, Ji Xinghuo's footsteps stopped.

He looked to the right, about a thousand meters away on the cliff, about a hundred meters from the summit of the cliff there were several layers of long strip-like platforms, many humanoids sat or climbed, foraging among the trees on the platform.

They pick the young leaves of wild fruits, gouge out the rhizomes of the plants and stuff them into their mouths.

"Stone sickle."

Ji Xinghuo observed carefully.

The stone sickle does resemble a baboon, but it is much larger, a meter and a half tall when it sits there, with only a layer of light and short hair, and a brown skin that is as strong as a rock.

They have human-like features, long heads, protruding mouths, and blood-red eyes in their sunken sockets.

The most significant difference is that they have four thick arms.

Each palm is disproportionately huge, with four fingers, long and pointed, that can be plunged into the soil and cut off the trunk of a tree with a single grasp.

When the stone sickle stood up, it was nearly two meters tall, and its four arms and legs worked together to climb the rock wall, as fast as walking on the ground. When they run, their tails are revealed, nimble and longer than their torsos, like a snake tail covered in large scales, with a spear-like tail blade at the end.

Ren Mian also saw this group of stone sickles.

She looked twice, but couldn't see it from too far away, so she said, "Come closer, don't alarm them." ”

The team stealthily approached the cliff where the stone sickle was located, and stopped more than two hundred meters away.

"Starfire?" Ren Mian cast an inquiring look.

Ji Xinghuo shook his head slightly.

In fact, he had already sensed it clearly on the way, there were quite a few of these stone sickles, there were more than forty, belonging to the middle group, six of them evolved into monsters, and the leader was an elite stone sickle, but there was no trace of the stone sickle giant fish.

Slightly disappointed, Chi Zhongliang asked, "Do you want to do it?" ”

"Forget it." Ren Mian shook his head, "There is no market for stone sickle claws and rock skins, there is no point in hunting them, and ......"

She glanced up at the cliff, "It's not that easy to kill the stone sickle in this kind of place, and if you make a big move, it may cause other troubles. ”

"Yes." Pond scales don't really want to do it.

Ji Xinghuo is actually quite interested, he doesn't want xenomorphs, but he can get spiritual energy by killing monsters!

However, his teammates are reluctant to do it, and he is not easy to mess around.

The team turned around in place, distanced themselves from the group of stone sickles, and continued deeper into the interior of the Peak Valley.
