Chapter XXVI: The Symbiote
On the outskirts of Sacred Paradise, this dense forest is now much more lively than ever.
"Sabre, how far is the valley you are talking about?"
In the dense forest, a group of three people struggled to advance under the barrier of dense plants, led by a middle-aged man in camouflage uniform, who was holding a wide and curved Gurg saber, which is commonly known as the dog-leg knife, and was opening the way ahead.
Between the wave of his arms, several cold lights flashed, and the dense vegetation in front of him turned into debris, and the thick combat boots stepped on the broken plant branches on the ground, rustling, and hearing the complaints of his teammates behind him, he kept moving in his hands, and replied lightly.
"It's almost there, there are about ten minutes left."
"You're saying this soon, it's the third time I've heard it, so how did you find this place?"
Hearing that there were still more than ten minutes, a tall and thin man behind him complained again, after entering this dense forest, it would take them almost 2 hours just to travel, and the road was still sparse.
As he opened the road, he was moving at a speed like a turtle crawling, which made his temper, which was already impatient, and his temper became more and more irritable.
The saber that opened the way in front of him was as calm as ever, and the frequency of the cold light flickering in front of him did not change at all, and it was as precise as a machine.
"Two days ago, I found through a drone that there are two large and three small ones in the valley, a total of five bear-like demonic beasts, whose strength is within our hunting range, the danger is medium, and the harvest is enough for us to share."
The tone of the saber came from the front, and the thin and tall song who listened to it secretly rolled his eyes, the saber guy is good at everything, it is this character, rigid like a robot.
It wasn't the first time the three of them had hunted together, but every time he listened to this guy's cold and undulating tone, it made him a little baffled.
Just as he was about to say a few more words, his teammate next to him interrupted him.
"Wolf smoke, let's talk less, it's better to save more physical strength with that nonsense, bear-like monsters are not easy to deal with, high attack and high blood, and the difficulty of hunting is not low."
The tall and thin contractor codenamed Wolf Smoke also lost interest in continuing to complain after hearing the words of his teammate next to him, but after his eyes swept over the staff in the hands of his teammate next to him, he suddenly paid attention again.
"Frost and cold, aren't you a master, just just set the fire and open the way, it's efficient and fast, and it saves the saber so hard to open the way."
The teammate who was wearing a robe and holding a staff next to him was stunned for a moment, and then replied angrily.
"I'm a little mage, but I can't afford the title of master, and I'm an ice method, put a fire of yarn."
"Besides, you get tired of setting fire to this kind of place, aren't you?"
"Tsk, dish! Shouldn't fireballs be the standard for your mages? You ......"
Before he could finish speaking, a cold light suddenly crossed in front of him, and the silver-white blade almost grazed his eyelashes, making his hairs stand on end.
"Do!"
A soft sound came from behind him, and the frightened wolf smoke turned his head to look, and the tactical dagger that had just been slashed in front of his eyes was firmly inserted into a tree trunk behind him, and a small emerald green snake was nailed to the tip of the knife, and the little snake was not dead at the moment, but was writhing wildly on the dagger.
A stream of dark green venom erupted from the snout of the small snake, corroding the blade with a crackling sound, and the wolf smoke felt chills in the bottom of the heart.
"Do!"
Another dagger flew in, this time directly nailing the writhing head of the little snake, and the snake body stopped moving after a while of convulsions.
"Don't be distracted, there are many forests and trees in this place, and there are naturally a lot of snakes, scorpions, and poisonous insects."
The tone that came from the front was still undulating, but the irritability in Wolf Yan's heart had been dispelled away by the chill that surged just now, so he didn't complain again, and the frost on the side looked at his honest appearance, the corners of his lips hooked slightly, but he didn't say anything more.
In silence, the three of them continued to move forward at a pace that was neither fast nor slow.
Ten minutes later, the saber shattered the vegetation in front of them, and suddenly the front of them opened up, and a beautiful valley appeared in front of everyone, the terrain was flat, the grass was abundant, and there was a small blue lake not far away.
"This place has a good environment, Sabre, where are those demonic beasts?"
"In a cave on the west side of the valley, this valley is not small, we are now in the southern position, let's go, at this time, there should only be one adult bear in the cave, let's solve this part first."
Saber was the first to step into the valley, and after surveying the landscape, he walked straight in one direction, wolf smoke and frost quietly following behind.
This valley is beautiful, but it is eerily quiet, it seems that except for the plants, there is no life in the valley, and in the dead silence, only the footsteps of the three of them echo in the valley.
The surrounding dead silence made Frost Han, who had the highest intelligence attribute in the team, a little uneasy, and couldn't help but whisper:
"Sabre, was it so quiet the last time you came?"
The saber hadn't spoken yet, but the wolf smoke next to him said nonchalantly:
"The territory of the Demonic Beasts, it will definitely expel all the animals within the range, and it will be lively when it reaches the mouth of the cave."
Shuang Han didn't even look at the wolf smoke on the side, his eyes were still staring at the saber leading the way in front of him, and after the saber glanced around, his brows frowned slightly.
"It's really wrong, the last time I used a drone to investigate, although the valley was not lively, it wasn't so silent, and they were all vigilant."
"Then we might as well use the drone to probe again, we're going."
Saber shook his head slowly: "The drone that can be used in this magical world, at least if it is of green quality, the last one has been smashed by a bear's paw when it was exploring the cave." ”
"It's okay, let's go to the vicinity of the cave to observe first, and if something is wrong, we will leave."
“…… Good. ”
After getting the saber reply, Frost and Cold didn't insist, although his heart became more and more uneasy, but he had been in a hurry for so long to reach his destination, and he returned the same way because of a little uneasiness, and he probably wouldn't be willing to do so.
"You just think too much, suspicious, how many times have we all walked back and forth in this forest these days, and it is not safe and sound, in this paradise, you have to dare to fight and dare to kill, in order to develop."
Seeing that Shuang Han still had a worried expression, Wolf Yan couldn't help but persuade him, but this tone was quite unbeatable.
"Silence, it's here."
The command of the saber came from the front row, and Wolf Yan obediently shut up, turning his head to look ahead, and a huge deep cave appeared in front of the three of them.
The inside of the cave is dark and unreal, but a strong smell of blood keeps coming from the cave, looking like a demon cave.
As we got closer to the cave, the smell of blood grew stronger, and the saber that was at the forefront suddenly stopped.
"Something is wrong, there seems to be some sound."
The saber's ears moved slightly, and the faint voice in his ears gradually became clear.
"Click, click, click......"
It was a fine chewing sound, similar to a meat grinder grinding human bones, and in any case it was not like a living crunching sound.
"Retreat!"
Saber let out a low snort, and as he retreated, he pulled out a bazooka from the space, and with the flash of fire, a rocket was fired into the cave.
The three of them retreated, staring in the direction of the cave in unison, only to hear a muffled sound in the cave, a flash of sparks, and then silence returned, as if it had been thrown into it as if it had been thrown into a cannon battle, not a bazooka.
"Hahahaha, not bad, not bad."
A gloomy and terrifying voice came from inside the cave, and two narrow white lights suddenly opened in the dark entrance of the cave.
"Before I was full, there was another takeaway, which was really intimate, haha......"
Before he could finish speaking, a scream in the air exploded in the valley, and the saber's pupils shrank sharply, and he jumped away.
As soon as his feet left the ground, the violent smoke and dust exploded in front of the saber, and the saber that jumped several meters looked up.
The smoke cleared, and a strangely shaped handleless blade was inserted into the ground, like a javelin, and the saber turned to look at the other two teammates.
Frost Cold blocked the flying blades with his ice shield, but his body was knocked away, and when he landed, the shield collapsed, and a large mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth.
As for the wolf smoke, his entire abdomen has been pierced by the sharp blade, the sharp blade is slanted into the ground, the wolf smoke hangs on the sharp blade and has lost the ability to resist, the blood-colored foam continues to overflow from the corners of his mouth, just one blow, he fell into a near-death state, he used his last strength to look at the saber behind him, his eyes were full of begging.
Saber gritted his teeth, and was about to step forward to rescue, when a large wave of qi suddenly opened in front of him, and a huge pitch-black figure appeared in front of Wolf Yan, and a big mouth of the figure suddenly cracked, and Bai Sensen's sharp teeth staggered down.
"Poof!"
The rich color of blood bloomed in front of the saber, and in front of the figure there was a headless humanoid fountain, and a large amount of blood was splashed, filling the entire valley with a fishy smell.
The clattering sound of fine chewing sounded again, but this time it was so close that a conspicuous lump appeared in the figure's throat, and then slipped down to the chest and abdomen and vanished.
"Symbiote!" Saber looked coldly at the black monster in front of him.
The symbiote swallowed the food in its mouth, its slender tongue sticking out, licking the blood splattered on its cheeks and neck, and cracking open its terrifying mouth.
The long, narrow white eyes looked at the saber, and his eyes were full of aftertaste.
"It's delicious."
