Chapter 25: Cutting down trees
The strange bird looks extremely vicious, but this is nothing to Wang Lung, the reason why the other party is in some trouble mainly comes from two aspects, one is that the strength of the strange bird is very large, Wang Lung estimates that the other party's strength is slightly stronger than him, and it can be distinguished from being thrown out by the other party just now, and the second trouble is that Wang Lung is now eager to avoid.
The reason is very simple, after the strange bird threw Wang Lung out, he had no intention of letting Wang Lung go, and Wang Lung didn't know why the other party suddenly attacked him, Wang Lung just stood up, and found that the strange bird's red eyes seemed to have a faint flame coming out, and the strange bird had a sharp beak, and a palpitating flame shot out, directly attacking Wang Lung.
Wang Lung couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this, the speed of the flame jet was extremely fast, he himself was not too far away from the strange bird, if it was an ordinary person, it would be difficult to prevent it, but it didn't matter to Wang Lung, he directly put his right foot on the ground, and his body was obliquely to the left side.
A corrosive sound came into Wang Lung's ears, and after dodging, Wang Lung looked sideways at the place where he was standing just now, and couldn't help but be surprised, the flames that had just erupted from the beak of the strange bird, the temperature was far higher than Wang Lung imagined, and after the ground was hit by the flames, the surface soil layer melted instantly, and the surrounding fiery red weeds were also directly vaporized.
The strange bird's flame attack was beyond Wang Lung's expectations, he felt a trace of scorching temperature just now, but he didn't expect the flame temperature to be so high, preliminary estimates, at least more than two or three thousand degrees, if sprayed on himself, Wang Lung would not be the same as the surface soil, but he would also suffer some minor injuries, after all, no matter how perverted his body is, there is a limit.
Wang Lung just glanced at the melted soil layer and ignored it, although he was shocked in his heart, he didn't care too much. After all, there was a strange bird not far away.
The strange bird was somewhat surprised that Wang Long could dodge his own blow, but it didn't care too much about it like Wang Lung, seeing that Wang Long easily dodged it, and no longer spewed flames to continue the attack, but with two wings. I even planned to fight in close quarters.
Seeing the strange bird rushing towards him, the corners of Wang Lung's mouth showed a slight sneer, he fought with the other party twice, and it seemed that the strange bird had the upper hand, but Wang Lung knew that the strange bird's attack method was nothing more than that, in addition to being a little stronger, he only needed to prevent the opponent's jet of flame attacks.
As the saying goes, two is no longer three, and the first two times were Wang Lung's lack of preparation. was given the upper hand by the other party, and now if the strange bird wants to fight in close combat, it is something that Wang Lung can't ask for, after all, he is not a cultivator, he can't use spiritual power to attack remotely, let alone the so-called spell formation, and he can only exert his greatest strength in close combat.
After seeing the strange bird's wings, the wings were folded at once. His body was like a javelin stabbing straight at him, and Wang Lung did not panic. The war knife in his hand sank, lightly touched the ground, and his body leaned to the side to meet it, the reason why he had to stagger a distance was very simple, the strange bird was not small. With his wings folded, he was also half taller than Wang Lung's body, not to mention that after the opponent's wingspan, within the range of his wingspan, it was not easy to dodge at close range.
The strange bird now folded its wings and gave Wang Long a chance. Just when the other party was only two feet away from him, Wang Lung moved sideways to meet the attack, and at the same time as the war knife hit the ground, he slashed at the abdomen of the strange bird, if the strange bird did not know how to advance or retreat, this time it could kill the other party.
It's a pity that Wang Lung's idea is good, but he miscalculated the flexibility of the strange bird's body, after all, the other party is a flying bird, in the flight, even if the strange bird retracts its wings, it can still quickly dodge, seeing Wang Long's war knife slashing his abdomen, the strange bird let out a long roar, and the wings all opened with a pop, and under one fan, the body just rushed forward a foot away, and then soared into the sky.
For a strange bird that is similar to his own strength, Wang Lung didn't think that he could kill the other party with a knife, seeing the strange bird rising into the sky, Wang Lung frowned slightly, and his right foot hid the ground, and he also rose into the air.
It seems to feel that someone is chasing after him, after the strange bird soars into the sky, he can't help but look back, and see Wang Lung is not far below him, seeing the speed of the other party, outperforming himself, the strange bird knows that if he continues to fly high, he is afraid that he will soon be caught by the other party, but it is also simply, all the wings are opened, and the body makes a 180-degree turn, and it turns around to meet Wang Lung.
Wang Lung saw the strange bird turn to himself, he couldn't help but be stunned, after the strange bird turned around, the wings were retracted again, from top to bottom, like a meteor falling to the ground, quickly approaching Wang Lung, seeing that the two were about to collide together, Wang Lung couldn't help but be stunned, not that he was afraid, but to see the strange bird's eyes burst out of a faint flame again, he had seen this situation once, this was the precursor of the strange bird about to spray flames.
Being in mid-air, it is impossible to dodge as flexibly as the ground, after all, there are very few places that can borrow strength, and it can even be said that there is none, but this is difficult Wang Long, seeing that the strange bird is not far away from him, his fists tightened, Wang Lung made a thousand pounds of work, and before the other party spit flames, the rising momentum of his body slowly stopped.
Since it is in mid-air, after the body no longer rises, it will naturally descend with the trend, and at this time, the strange bird also saw everything Wang Lung did, but it didn't care at all, with a big mouth, a flame erupted, shooting directly to the top of Wang Long.
Seeing this, Wang Lung showed a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, if it wasn't for the flames, seen by the strange bird, he would never have thought that Wang Lung still had the leisure to smirk, in fact, Wang Lung did not look down on the other party, but waited for the other party to spit out the flames again, if on the ground, Wang Lung's plan was not easy to implement, and now he and the strange bird were in mid-air, one up and down, there was a flame about three feet long in the middle, Wang Lung knew that his opportunity had come.
I didn't see much movement in Wang Lung's hand, the war knife that was originally holding the palm of his hand suddenly came out of his hand, the tip of the knife was pointing upward, the handle of the knife was facing Wang Lung, and the direction it went was actually the flames spewed out by the strange bird.
A miserable chirp sounded, but the sound just came out and stopped abruptly, Wang Lung didn't care about this, after he threw out the war knife, it was a little bit of a thrust, the body dropped a lot faster, and soon fell to the ground, and the moment his feet were about to land, his body rolled to the side, before he could stand up, it should have been where Wang Lung was standing after he landed, and the flames spewed out by the strange bird melted the surface soil again.
In this regard, Wang Lung only glanced at it, and his body was half-kneeling on the ground. Raising his eyes and looking overhead, the mournful sound had stopped, and at a height of five feet above the ground, two afterimages fell rapidly to the ground, one was a strange bird that no longer knew whether it was alive or dead, and the other was a war knife thrown by Wang Long.
A bang sounded in Wang Lung's ears. The strange bird fell to the ground without any protection, lying motionless next to Wang Lung's body, Wang Lung frowned when he saw this, although his eyes looked at the motionless strange bird on the ground, but his right arm was raised, and soon there was an extra war knife in his hand, and the falling position of the war knife was just near Wang Lung's left, and he grabbed it in his hand.
Looking down at the strange bird lying motionless on the ground, Wang Lung shook his head gently. The strength of this strange bird is similar to his, but unfortunately the attack method is too simple, and he does not know how to work, he suddenly used a cold arrow, and pierced his body with a war knife, and the war knife passed through its throat, and it was already dead and could not die anymore.
When Wang Lung threw out his war knife just now, he had already thought of this result. The strange bird breathes flames, and its beak must open. Although the temperature of the flame was very high, it was not worth mentioning at all for a war knife made for it, and the flame did not have the slightest power to stop it, even if it contained unknown corrosive ingredients, it did not damage the war knife in the slightest.
With the sharpness of the sword. Although Wang Lung's action when he threw out the war knife was not big, he knew that if the force of that knife did not dodge or dodge, it would definitely end like this, and sure enough, the result was the same as he expected. A strange bird that seemed like a threat had died under his sword.
Wang Lung glanced at the strange bird on the ground, sighed lightly and stood up and ignored the other party, he didn't come here to hunt the monster, but to find out the strange snake, either to destroy the other party, or force the other party to agree to his own conditions, otherwise he would not be able to plant Baiyue Shame with peace of mind.
Just when Wang Lung wanted to lift his feet and walk, the corpse of the strange bird under his feet actually emitted a faint white gas, and soon the entire corpse was shrouded in white gas, Wang Lung saw this, his brows couldn't help frowning, and his feet unconsciously took two steps back, staring at the layer of white gas.
This white gas came suddenly, and the corpse of the strange bird shrouded in white gas was no longer clear, Wang Lung had some doubts in his heart, thinking that the other party had some anti-heaven means to bring the dead back to life, but this doubt was only fleeting in his mind, he didn't believe that the strange bird could have such magical powers, and he didn't know anything about the white qi, so he didn't dare to make a rash move, so he could only stand aside and watch the changes.
After about a dozen breaths of work, the white gas turned from light to thick, and soon slowly dissipated, and when the white gas dissipated, Wang Lung's eyes looking at the ground couldn't help but widen, the corpse of the strange bird that should have been lying motionless on the ground did not come back to life as he thought, but it disappeared without a trace.
Wang Lung knew very well how big the corpse of the strange bird was, and the emptiness of the ground in front of him made him not dare to believe it, Wang Lung was just stunned, and he saw something in his eyes, as if an irregular crystal nucleus fell on the place where the corpse of the strange bird had been.
Wang Lung couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this, the crystal nucleus was very familiar to him, he hurriedly took two steps and squatted on the ground, picked up the crystal nucleus on the ground and brought it to his eyes to take a closer look.
Sure enough, it was the crystal nucleus left behind by the fire spirit beast after its death, could it be that the strange bird was also transformed by the fire spirit beast, Wang Lung looked at the crystal nucleus in his hand and couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and soon he guessed a rough idea.
When the energy of the fire spirit beast is in the hand, the crystal nucleus can be transformed into the form of a fire spirit beast or a strange bird, or other existences, when the energy in the crystal nucleus is exhausted, or it is wiped out by him, the crystal nucleus becomes the original appearance again, as for the fire spirit beast or other demon beasts, I am afraid that it has disappeared with the energy of the crystal nucleus.
Thinking of this, Wang Lung looked up at the dozens of hazy mountains in the distance, and then looked at a few fire trees and weeds nearby, and he didn't know what he thought in his heart, he put away the crystal nucleus with his backhand, walked quickly to a fire tree, and snorted softly, and the war knife cut down the bottom of the fire tree's trunk.
With the sharpness of the sword, the fire tree fell in response, and the five-zhang high fire tree fell to the ground with a bang, Wang Lung did not care about the fallen fire tree, but fell on the trunk of the tree that was cut by him, only to see layers of flames suddenly emerge from the section of the fire tree, and in the blink of an eye, it was three feet high.
Seeing this, Wang Lung couldn't help but take two steps back, but his eyes didn't leave the flame for half a minute, he had a guess in his heart, I am afraid that everything in this space is transformed from the crystal nucleus, if the flame of this fire tree is burned out, it will degenerate into the original appearance of the crystal nucleus, then whether he needs to continue to stay here is a matter of two questions.
Today, when he hadn't jumped off the hot spring, he had searched all the places in the land outside the Pure Land, and he hadn't found any of the shadows of the fire spirit beast, if the fire tree in front of him turned into a crystal nucleus after death, the fire spirit beast that robbed the hundred moon was afraid that it had nothing to do with the strange snake, and it was estimated that the pale yellow rocks and fire trees seen on the ground were the culprits.
The reason for this idea, in Wang Lung's opinion, the crystal nucleus can be transformed into a fire spirit beast, a strange bird or a fire tree in front of him, he did not see the shadow of the fire spirit beast on the ground, I am afraid that the fire spirit beast changed its form and continued to hide after devouring Baiyue Shame.
But these are all speculations, in Wang Lung's opinion, there is indeed a great possibility, only after understanding the changes in the fire tree in front of him can he make a decision, he doesn't want to be stupid to continue to stay in this endless space, the strange snake didn't find it, not to say, during this time, he saw no less than dozens of strange birds, how far he went, look at this space, like the monster birds that exist in the monster beasts are afraid of countless, if they are really all conjured by the crystal nucleus, in a limited time, he has no ability to slaughter them all, continue to stay, it is nothing more than a waste of timeใ
In fact, Wang Lung also understood that when he threatened the monster snake by cutting off the crystal nucleus as coercion, the other party's contemptuous eyes actually told him a lot of things, but there were some things that he couldn't guess, after all, a look can represent a lot of meanings, if you guess completely, you can't guess anything at all, you can only see your personal understanding.
Soon, Wang Lung pulled his thoughts back to reality, and now the result is immediately presented in front of him, there is no point in thinking too much, as long as he knows the result, what kind of decision to make, Wang Lung naturally knows in his heart.
Time passed little by little, and the flame seemed to have finally burned to the end, little by little, and after it disappeared completely, Wang Lung's eyes widened, wanting to see what the result was, but he didn't expect that the final result was completely beyond his expectations.
