0196 Invasion of submerged forests
Seeing that the surrounding ecology was thriving, Li Ming began the actual combat practice of flying knives.
With the blessing of the terrifying throwing strength, the small monsters wandering around the road, as long as they can hit the vital point, are basically killed with one sword, and they do not quench their tongues again.
After practicing for three days along the way, Li Ming summed up a strange phenomenon, that is, since he hit the abandoned shrine area, the monsters with strong hostility have obviously increased.
In the past, long distances required intermittent stops to hunt for food to ensure that the food reserves were sufficient.
Now because there are too many monsters actively attacking the truck, the chilled compartment was already stuffed yesterday.
It seems that the monsters in other regions are not very friendly to the overlord.
In order for Li Ming to be able to drive, all the fog balls have been unloaded.
Only the [Overlord] that melts into itself is the only fog ball that can attract monsters.
The advantage of this situation is that there is no need to stop halfway to hunt for food.
Monsters that are hostile enough will find them on their own, and their travel speed will be significantly increased.
The disadvantage is that it is easy to be perceived in advance.
And the monster has no concept of the "humanoid overlord" yet.
After watching it, I probably only feel that I have to teach a lesson that I must teach a lesson if I am so arrogant and so small, and I have never seen it before.
When you try to get closer, you become a moving target for the throwing knife.
A day later, a contiguous shallow terrain came into view.
Li Ming stored the wagon in a small base in the wild, looked for the hunters and gatherers stationed here, and inquired about the Swift Dragon on the Red Meteor Contract.
As a result, the theme of everyone's attention and discussion was the golden lion who recently visited the water-submerged forest.
Only the uncle who is in charge of taking care of Marutori, because he has been stationed here for some years.
Gives individual intelligence that has a large number of old injuries on both blades and is extremely good at using tail combat.
It's a pity that although the information is there, it hasn't been updated for a long time because there have been fewer and fewer hunter squads rushing to the water submerged forest in recent years.
And the uncle said that because the golden lion occupied the area, the activities of the swift dragon were severely restricted.
It is speculated that he is either going to the depths of the submerged forest to take refuge, or turning into a bone mound in a corner.
"It's hard now"
Li Ming's face was embarrassed.
Setting fire to the forest, coupled with the [Overlord] induction, it is easy to attract the boss of the current territory area, the Golden Lion.
The target of the contract Red Meteor is Swift Dragon, and it is not even clear whether he is dead or alive.
"Little brother, you are a lone hunter, just try your luck on the periphery, if you really can't do it, just take a step back, it's better than losing your life, alas"
After the uncle finished persuading, he sighed helplessly.
"Uh, is there a team that has had a bad time?"
Li Ming asked tentatively.
"Not yet, but about a week ago, a lone huntress said that she was going to hunt golden lions, and after making simple preparations at the base, she actually set off, and there is no news yet, if you find some. Traces related to her, I hope to mark the sighting point, and let me know when I return, although the stronghold is not capable of helping her revenge, but it can still be brought back to be properly settled. ”
Hunting a golden lion alone?
Li Ming couldn't help but glance down the corners of his mouth.
As for the traces mentioned by the uncle, they are actually the corpses of the other party.
It's just that I don't want to give a conclusion before the death is confirmed.
"What star is that huntress? Is there a display contract? ”
"I didn't see her wearing a hunter's badge, and she didn't seem to be very willing to communicate with other people, if you want to talk about the characteristics, the big sword she carries seems to be an ice snowfish sword, and the armor looks very uniform in design, it should be a suit made of some kind of monster, but I haven't seen a hunter wear it, I just remember that there are a lot of black and gold hairs embedded in it."
The uncle informs me of the impressions of the huntress.
The ice attribute of the Ice Flower Snowman Sword is extremely exciting, and the attribute is obviously targeted.
Armor with a large amount of black and gold hair. Could it be a full set of Golden Lion armor?
If you can make that armor, it means that you have successfully hunted before.
After Li Ming speculated, he felt that the other party might not have come to send him to death.
But the act of wanting to hunt the golden lion alone feels outrageous no matter how you think about it.
"I'll try to keep an eye on it."
"Thank you, the other party is a hunter, even if you act recklessly, you must not let her be violent corpse wilderness, you have to be more careful yourself."
Uncle instructed.
Li Ming distributed some of the raw meat he hunted all the way to the field base, and then made preparations.
The Thor Department is indeed suitable for dealing with Swift Dragons, but the purpose of this expedition is not only hunting, but also the practice of [Dragon Flame Burning Fire].
If you want to try to use it to the limit, weapon armor linkage is naturally indispensable.
And for Swift Dragon, the priority of fire attribute is only behind thunder.
Therefore, it was decided to use the fire attribute as the main excitation direction.
Wear a male fire dragon cuirasse embedded with double dragon jade, helmet gauntlets, and a female fire dragon belt for the belt.
The leggings are mud dragon leggings, which can also ensure a certain speed of mud sinking when switching the silt fog ball.
Combined with the soft riverbed under the shallows of the submerged forest, if you encounter a golden lion, it is not a problem to escape as quickly as possible.
"Let's go!"
Facing the moonlight, Li Ming led the two cat carts and headed towards the Shui Wu Forest.
At noon the next day, the camp was laid in a hollow giant tree shaded by a large number of vines.
Swift Dragons like to hunt for food at night, and Li Ming decided to take a break first.
Eliminate the fatigue of the march and stay in good shape.
In place of the team members, the accompanying cats are on alternate duty, scouting the situation around the camp.
On the treetops of the giant tree, the crawling Miduoduo held a telescope and looked around, beware of monsters that could approach at any time.
Whew~
A rapid roar rang out.
Mi Duoduo looked sideways and noticed a yellow persimmon flying towards him, and hurriedly jumped up to dodge.
Puff~
"Meow!"
The yellow persimmon hit the tree and shattered, and the juice of the pulp splashed wildly, making Mi Duoduo almost fall out of balance.
"It's Tengu Meow! There's a monster coming! ”
The cat observed on the other side, with a share of gills, immediately blew the iron whistle of the neck band.
Whining! Whining!
Instead of reining in, Tengurmon reached into its belly pouch with its front paws and grabbed a yellow persimmon again to throw.
"Uhh
"Watch out!"
The cats were dodging and flying back in all directions.
Seeing this, the tengummon barked more and more happily.
Li Ming, who was lying on the bed in the camp, suddenly opened his eyes when he heard the whistle.
"I just lay down for a while, so irritable."
Li Ming deeply felt the difficulty of a lone hunter.
That is, in the wilderness where various states are frequent, it is difficult for a person to have enough time to rest.
Walking out of the tree hole camp, a monster resembling an ape, with a brown horn on its head and green clawed wings, appeared in the shallows below.
At this time, the tail that stands in the middle of the riverbed is bent and supporting.
At the end of the tail, a three-toed clawtail is providing support, and the shape looks very similar to that of the jumping dog.
"Tengumon, a three-star monster."
While Li Ming was paying attention to the other party, the Tengu Beast also looked up at the same time, and then its front paws reached into its belly pocket.
"Dare."
Smack!
Before Li Ming's warning finger was raised, a yellow persimmon was pasted on his face.
Oh.
Seeing that the other party had not retreated from the impact of the explosion, the roaring Tengu Beast was puzzled.
"Hehe, well done."
Li Ming made an awesome gesture, not caring about the pulp juice stained on the helmet.
Then he turned back to the camp and picked up the Scorching Flame Shield Axe and carried it on his back.
Tengurmon vaguely sensed that something was wrong, but for a moment it couldn't be sure.
At this time, Li Ming jumped down from the tree hole and strode in.
"Poison throwing knives."
With a soft thought, the black and purple tentacles immediately loaded the fog ball.
Hmmm~mph~
Li Ming pulled out four flying knives from his shoulder strap in a row, and then quickly licked his tongue on the blades on both sides.
A little thick purple juice dripped into the water, instantly stirring up circles of dark purple ripples.
"I like to litter, right, I'll give you another chance."
After Li Ming finished speaking, he pinched the handle of a flying knife that had completed the quenching of poison, and swung it backwards to gather momentum.
Tengurmon was visibly nervous, but he didn't hesitate to think for a moment.
The front paw dug into the belly pocket for a moment and took out a green persimmon.
When the green persimmon is fried, it releases a certain amount of paralyzing poisonous gas.
Aim, throw.
One man and one beast shot almost simultaneously.
Puff ~ Wow!
The green persimmon was shattered, and the quenching knife passed through.
Seeing this, Tengurmon raised one of its claws to shield it.
However, the wing membrane, with its turquoise fluff on its exterior, is still easily pierced.
The blade stabbed into the chest, blood splattered.
Whew~
With a wail, the Tengu Beast sensed that something was wrong, and its tail bent down suddenly, and its body jumped up with its strength.
Spun in mid-air, fell into the water with four paws, and quickly ran and fled.
"Hey! Yikes! Ha! ”
Li Ming chased while throwing throwing knives.
Although the sense of oppression was strong, because both sides were moving, only one of the three throwing knives thrown in the follow-up hit one.
Puff~
Under the vigorous exercise, the chest wound that pierced the throwing knife gushed purple poisonous blood.
The tengumon didn't stop, its dexterous four-toed claws gripping the hilt and pulling out the throwing knife.
With its familiarity with the terrain, the Tengu Beast, which was moving between the waterless jungles, quickly distanced itself.
Glancing back at the direction he came, Li Ming felt that he was far enough away from the camp.
Even if there is any abnormality caused here, it will not threaten the safety of the camp, let alone worry about being ignited and burned.
"The Flame King."
Li Ming called softly.
Burst into flames, suddenly emerging from inside the armor.
Hiss~
The juice of the persimmon pulp that remained on the helmet of the male fire dragon instantly evaporated.
The original red and blue scorching flame sword and shield turned orange under the scorching flames.
Under the influence of the violent flow of venom, Tengurmon only felt that it was running slower and slower.
But now is obviously not the time to look for the antidote grass, you can only rely on willpower to continue to crawl forward.
Whew~Whew~
Black smoke drifted from his side.
The strong smell of burnt flesh made Tengu Beast can't help but turn its head to look back.
Flames flickered in his pupils.
The woodlands in the water that could be used for maneuvering were being burned by flames.
At the center of the flames, an unknown creature was rushing towards it.
Whew!
The desperate Tengu Beast let out a warning roar, as if to remind its fellow citizens not to set foot here.
After a few moments, the corpse of the Tengu was charred black, and all the fluff on its body had burned out.
Li Ming locked on three fog balls through the steam rising from the water surface in a pile of scattered and floating persimmons.
Two white and one green, it's a configuration I haven't seen for a long time.
However, since it is a monster that has never been hunted, Li Ming will definitely carefully examine and choose.
[Tail paw support]. ★★
Description: Tengurmon can provide strong support to its body with its tail claws, allowing it to perform a variety of movements.
The shield axe slash is driven by the force of the body, and if the tail claw is regarded as a hunting weapon, then the use of [tail claw support] is reversed, and it feels more useful for insect sticks.
To borrow strength with a shield and axe, Li Ming couldn't think of anything too good to use.
However, the physical arts can be comprehended and fused with proficiency, and it belongs to the kind of fog ball that will definitely not lose if you choose.
[Trick Throwing]. ★
Description: Tengurmon's throwing attack has a fairly good accuracy.
Do you throw giant persimmons every day?
It feels like there may be more things at the skill level than the snow lion's [Ape Arm Throw].
The biggest benefit is that the two can be stacked.
It's a pity that the two monsters have nothing to do with each other, otherwise it would be better if they could be fused.
After Li Ming finished his evaluation, he looked at the next white fog ball.
【Fermentation of belly bag】 ★
Description: After collecting a large persimmon, Tengurmon will ferment it in a belly pouch, which can give the persimmon various special effects.
Belly pouch? Ferment?
Li Ming looked down at himself, feeling that the difficulty of this wanted to achieve by himself was comparable to Marutori's [laying eggs].
But it also gave him an inspiration.
It is a good choice to collect enough persimmon trees here and return to the camp for the cats to try their hand at planting.
After all, the rainfall is not much different from the humid environment, and the current abandoned shrine area is not much different from the waterless forest.
In this way, the cat plantation may be able to restart again by planting giant persimmon trees.
After thinking for a moment, Li Ming chose [Skill Throwing] and [Belly Bag Fermentation].
Sensing the Burning Forest, most monsters will basically choose to flee.
But the golden lion may not be, Li Ming didn't stay long, unloaded the fog ball and rushed to the camp.
When Mi Duoduo heard Li Ming's idea of planting a giant persimmon tree, he immediately said that he wanted to try it.
After all, the plantation used to give the camp a great boost in terms of crop cultivation.
After being forced to abandon due to climatic factors, the related expenses skyrocketed several times.
Li Ming, who had a strong smell of burnt paste, lay down on the bed again.
Before going to bed, he felt that he had fused the fog ball of the Tengu Beast first.
It's not that I'm afraid of any threats, but if I can see the information of Swift Dragon, maybe I can help with the next deployment.
Whoosh~whoosh~
Four-toed wing claws, flexibly grasp the persimmon and stuff it into the belly pocket.
One, two
Li Ming, who was in the memory of regression, sighed, and suddenly felt tired.
Is it that the high-level fog ball empathizes too much? I don't feel anything about it.
The sun and the moon rotate, and in addition to bullying and teasing weak monsters every day, Tengu Beast is followed by endless persimmon picking.
One night, the flow of time suddenly slowed down.
"Uh-uh! Hey! ”
A woman's shouting when she exerted her strength made Li Ming suddenly come to his senses.
Moonlight, shallow water.
Facing the golden lion who supported the ground with his fists and attacked at high speed.
A huntress in the armor of a golden lion swings the Ice Snowman Sword behind her.
