Chapter 217: Hunting on the Plateau
Ji Xinghuo calmed down.
The magnificent and vast scenery is just the surface, and underneath it, there are countless dangers, strange natural environments, as well as many monsters, aliens, aliens, etc., all of which seem to be to choose people to eat, and if you are not careful, you may lose your life.
Otherwise, this plateau would not have been called "bloody".
Continued for the day.
Ji Xinghuo finally set foot on the bloody plateau.
The climate of Jianyue is not too cold, it is relatively comfortable, but on the plateau, it is obviously much colder than the Qianfeng Yuanlin, about a few degrees above zero.
Ji Xinghuo was prepared before departure, and added a cold-resistant suit to the ceramic steel armor, which is very light and thin, made of aerogel material, and a thin layer can play a very good role in keeping warm, enough to resist low temperatures of more than 100 degrees below zero, and it also has good air permeability, which does not affect the activity at all.
The face is also coated with a layer of nano cold-proof wax, which is not afraid of the cold wind at all.
Not long after stepping on the plateau, Ji Xinghuo noticed something abnormal.
He looked up at the sky.
A scarlet moon hangs high in the sky, and even during the day, it can be seen clearly. This is the "Red Moon", one of the four "moons" of the astral plane.
Say it's the moon, because they could also be planets.
In normal times, Chiyan Star appears and disappears from time to time, and scientists on Earth have not yet figured out its laws and orbits, which are completely different from the planets in the Milky Way.
At this moment, Ji Xinghuo saw something strange at a glance.
Chiyan Star has gotten bigger!
He was sure it wasn't his delusion, but on the bloody plateau, he could clearly feel that the scarlet moon seemed to have grown by about a tenth of its size because it was getting closer.
Ji Xinghuo subconsciously stared at it.
The Vientiane Star Pupil could see very far, and the Chiyan Star enlarged in his field of vision, and gradually, he vaguely saw that there were crisscrossing black lines on it.
Those black lines are not actually black, but areas with low brightness, which contrast with the highlights and appear like shadows.
It's the same thing with sunspots.
Ji Xinghuo carefully observed the black lines, and Chi Yanxing further magnified in his field of vision, he could see more clearly, and the shadows were clearer.
In an instant, his eyes widened!
"That's not a shadow!"
"It's a man-made complex!"
Ji Xinghuo shouted in his heart, there seemed to be boundless black and red buildings in front of him, as tall as mountains, endless, countless fortresses and palaces, there were terrifying and vicious monsters everywhere, they fought each other and fought bloodily.
In the middle of the Red Flame Star, there was a black throne of unknown height, on which sat a hazy huge figure.
Ji Xinghuo couldn't see it clearly, but at this moment, a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood appeared in front of his eyes.
And the scarlet flames in the sky!
"Ah......h
Ji Xinghuo only felt that his eyes stinged, and let out a cry of pain, and those terrifying scenes in his vision disappeared in an instant.
He finally came back to his senses, and found that his heart was pounding wildly, like a drum, the blood in his whole body was boiling, and the flow in his body was crazy and accelerated, and the Holy Scale Armor was also unconsciously stimulated, and hot air came out of his body, as if blood was burning.
"Horror!"
Ji Xinghuo took a deep breath and returned to normal after a long time.
He looked up with palpitations and quickly glanced at it, the red star was still hanging high in the sky, and there was no change, and the scene just now seemed to be just his own illusion.
"It's not a delusion."
Ji Xinghuo immediately guessed a possibility.
Red Emperor!
One of the four most powerful star gods in the astral realm, also known as the star god lord, the first of the four god lords, the "Killing Yan Red Emperor"!
He was shocked in his heart, did it turn out that the Red Emperor was on the Red Yan Star?
This shouldn't be a secret in the Star Boundary, but it has been less than two hundred years since the Earth Star Gate was opened, and the Thousand Peaks Abyss Forest is a relatively remote place in the Star Boundary, and it can't reach the upper echelons of the Star Boundary, so I don't know the secret of the four moons.
According to this speculation, there are also star gods on the other three planets, which are the other three of the gods?
"Star God ......"
Ji Xinghuo shook his head.
Legend has it that the star gods are born in the nature of the astral plane, and there are also creatures that are advanced, and they are the end point of the evolution of all life.
But that's too far away from me, and it's useless to think about it.
However, the chaotic order on the bloody plateau has a close relationship with the star gods.
Before coming, when he was collecting information on the Internet, many Inhumans who had been to the Bloody Plateau mentioned one thing, most of the aliens on the Plateau were believers in the Star God.
Among the believers, the highest proportion is the believers of the Red Emperor, more than eighty percent!
The Red Emperor revered blood and battle, and even believers never stopped killing each other, and they had an infinite desire to kill.
Every inch of this plateau has been soaked in blood.
Hence the name Bloody Plateau!
Qinghong ran all the way, and after entering the plateau, the vegetation was not as dense as the Qianfeng Yuan Forest, most of them were relatively short, and there were endless grasslands, so the speed of progress was much faster. But among the many mountains, there are still large forests that are home to countless beasts and monsters.
Among them is a monster called "Hurricane Beast", which is good at hiding and running, and is extremely fast.
This carnivorous monster is small in size and difficult to find.
But their hearts are a kind of expansion curiosity, after killing, while the corpse is not yet cold, devour the heart, and you can fuse one more xenomorph.
Therefore, it attracted many people to come and hunt the Hurricane Beast.
Ji Xinghuo recalled the appearance and habits of the Hurricane Beasts, they generally lived near the snow line of mountain peaks, and loved to eat a variety of herbivorous artiodactyl beasts.
If you want to find them, you have to go up the mountain.
The plateau is full of mountains!
To be precise, the plateau is the land held up by countless mountain ranges, and as far as the eye can see, there are endless mountain peaks on all sides.
Ji Xinghuo opened a simple map, and after identifying the direction, he randomly selected a mountain peak in the west.
Qinghong rushed up.
Soon, Ji Xinghuo arrived at the foot of the mountain with a drop of about three thousand meters, and let Qinghong run around the foot of the mountain, scanning the surroundings with electromagnetic induction. After fusing the electrostatic field, the radius of electromagnetic induction expanded to three thousand meters, and he asked Qinghong to slow down a little, so that he could sense more carefully.
Hurricanes resemble cheetahs, but they have six legs, smooth skin that can change color, and invisible wind wings on their backs, allowing them to fly short distances at high speeds.
It's also recognizable.
Electromagnetic induction found many beasts and birds, but there were no Hurricane Beasts.
He was about to ask Qinghong to go up a little bit to the mountainside, and the electromagnetic induction could scan the top of the mountain a little, but several black shadows flew up on it.
"Pterodactyl?"
Ji Xinghuo looked up and observed.
Not a pterodactyl, but a flying monster that had never been seen before, with a wingspan of about ten meters, a torso in the form of a lizard, wings covered with black feathers, a bare belly with huge claws, and an ugly head on its long neck, like a vulture.
Ji Xinghuo thought about it seriously and remembered that this was a "vicious vulture." ”
This monster is a tyrant on the plateau, they eat almost everything, alive and dead, meat, plants, beasts, humans, and they are not picky eaters at all.
The Vulture is a gregarious monster with a violent and untamable personality.
Even though they are fast and have good stamina, they are not suitable as flying mounts and generally prefer to nest in high places.
"I met it when I first arrived."
Ji Xinghuo watched as there were more and more vicious vultures in the sky, and in the blink of an eye, there were more than ten.
They circled in the sky and didn't swoop down, but he knew that these bullies on the plateau were eyeing him and Qinghong.
"Run over there."
Ji Xinghuo pointed to the flat grassland to the west of the foot of the mountain.
There is no shelter there, and it is the favorite predatory terrain of birds of prey, which can attract all the vicious vultures.
Qinghong immediately did so.
It turned and ran wildly towards the grassland, getting faster and faster, and looked like it was running for its life frantically.
Sure enough, the heavenly vultures immediately followed.
"Go on."
Ji Xinghuo said.
Qinghong picked up speed again, and the Vultures flew faster, and a few smaller ones turned back and gave up the hunt, leaving seven larger Vultures behind.
Ji Xinghuo looked back from time to time, and they had already entered the range of electromagnetic induction.
Judging by the strength of the magnetic field, two of the seven evil-eating vultures are superior monsters, they are very large, with a wingspan of about twelve meters, and the other five are elite monsters, with a wingspan of ten meters, which is considered a behemoth for humans.
If you encounter this group of vultures, if you don't have a special life-saving ability, you will most likely become their food.
Qinghong ran faster and faster, and ran seven or eight kilometers in a few minutes.
The vultures are still chasing in the sky.
Finally, a super-horde vulture couldn't help it, flapped its wings, and swooped down towards Qinghong at an accelerated pace, like a fighter jet.
The other vultures followed, their wide wings blowing in the wind.
"Keep running, don't stop."
Ji Xinghuo instructed Qinghong that he had already taken the invisible thorn in his hand, and he was holding an arrow in his right hand, all of which were ordinary titanium alloy arrows.
Previously, shooting the stone sickle in the canyon consumed a lot of capacitive arrows, and although they were all picked up, most of them were overloaded and damaged and could not be repaired.
This time, I only brought a total of 200 capacitive arrows, so I had to save some money.
It's not that I don't want to buy more, it's that it's out of stock.
A few seconds later.
Overhead, the wind was raging, the air currents were raging, and the largest vulture had already swooped to within fifty meters, and the other vultures were a little behind, scrambling to be the first, all of them entering the killing range of the invisible thorn, and even the sky was obscured, and it fell into shadow.
Ji Xinghuo, who was on Qinghong's back, turned around and raised the invisible thorn, an arrow had already been placed on the bow.
The nearest vultures have rushed in front of them.
"Chirp!"
It opened its mouth and let out a sharp scream, causing an invisible concussion and a spiritual impact on Ji Xinghuo. At the same time, the huge claws under its belly reached forward and grabbed Ji Xinghuo and Qinghong, trying to catch them all and lift them to the sky.
Almost at the same second, Ji Xinghuo shot an arrow.
The bowstring vibrates.
The vibrations were inaudible in the wind and screams, and the arrows were obscured by the refractive effect, making them invisible.
However, the effect of this arrow was immediate.
The vulture swooped down in front of it, its ugly head suddenly tilted back, as if it had been slapped by an invisible force, its eyes exploded, and an arrow pierced its skull and flew out from behind.
In the wail, the huge body immediately lost control, falling to the ground and rolling, feathers flying wildly, almost shattered to pieces.
Qinghong accelerated suddenly, avoiding being hit by the corpse of the vulture, and opened up some distance.
The vultures in the back screamed in amazement when they saw this scene.
The farthest one immediately slowed down and flew high to escape.
But it was too late.
Ji Xinghuo stood up on Qinghong's back, turned to face the target, his body was steady as if he was standing on the ground, his hands were as fast as afterimages, and he shot a second arrow.
