Chapter 16: Accidental Discovery

Nie Yun glanced back, then slowed down and walked towards the seemingly mysterious valley not far away.

The valley is flanked by dense ancient trees, and there is no sunlight at all after walking into the valley, and it is already daytime, but it feels like it is back at night.

"Beauty, you can rest here, and I'll go up there and observe. ”

Nie Yun pointed to the big stone in front of him and said, then easily climbed the mountain wall and came to a relatively tall tree. This is to scout the surrounding situation. Although Huo Ling said that there were no terrible beasts nearby, Nie Yun was used to checking in person, and there might be some fierce beasts passing by, and it would be very dangerous if they were attacked by while resting.

Huo Ling put down his shield, sat down on a relatively clean stone, and looked around. At this time, Huo Ling's stomach suddenly gurgled.

Obviously, after running for so long and not eating, Huo Da Beauty's stomach is already hungry, no wonder her physical strength can't keep up. But there was nothing to eat around at all, and I could only touch my stomach helplessly.

Suddenly, a dark shadow fell from above, landing right at Huo Ling's feet, startling her.

If you look closely, it turns out to be an armor-piercing beast, about the size of a domestic piglet, but it has no attack power, just an ordinary beast. Armor-piercing beasts like to keep their burrows on the mountain walls so that they can keep themselves safe, and they are herbivores.

"How did you find that? I'm just a little hungry, hehe!"

Huo Ling smiled at Nie Yun, who had just landed.

The girl smiled, exuding infinite vitality and sunshine, and the dark valley seemed to be much brighter all at once.

However, Nie Yun only moved slightly in his heart, and said, "After running for so long, how can you recover your strength without eating." I just happened to find an armor-piercing cave, and with luck, this guy is sleeping in it, do you know how to barbecue?"

Generally speaking, anyone who often breaks into the outside will have a good barbecue skill, otherwise they will not be able to survive in the wild. Just like Nie Yun, he often doesn't go home for months, and all the food is done by himself, not only to be full, but also to ensure the deliciousness of the food.

Huo Ling's face was embarrassed, and he said softly: "When I was at home, I always ate ready-made, and I have never learned these, but I can try it, and I will use it in the future anyway." ”

Nie Yun was stunned for a moment, but immediately reacted, the person in front of him who ran to the depths of the forest with him was the young lady of the three major families of the Fengyang Domain, and her father was the eldest of the Huo family's famous Huo family, which was second only to the existence of the head of the family, and Huo Ling's status was naturally not low. This kind of thing is really a bit difficult for her.

"Forget it, eldest lady, let's come, you can study on the side, and you can bake it for your sweetheart to eat in the future." ”

Hearing Nie Yun's words, Huo Ling's face suddenly flushed, and he snorted lightly and ignored it.

Nie Yun didn't mind, skillfully moved his hands, and quickly finished disposing of the armor-piercing beast, just waiting to start a fire.

Nie Yun looked around, there were trees all around, and the materials for starting a fire were inexhaustible. So he gave the treated armor-piercing ** to Huo Ling, and went to cut down some trees by himself.

The second-level magic weapon sword was really sharp, and the thick trunk of the bowl was broken with a slight chop.

The dagger and the magic sword rubbed hard, and the wood that had been placed immediately burst into flames. The armor-piercing beast was put into the flames by Nie Yun and began a barbecue feast.

"Why don't you let me try it, it doesn't seem very complicated. ”

Huo Ling whispered, and then took the half-baked armor-piercing beast from Nie Yun's hand, and roasted it in Nie Yun's way.

"I'll go up there and keep a sentry, the smell of the barbecue can easily attract some fierce beasts, by the way, don't roast it for me. ”

After Nie Yun explained, he returned to the tree again, focusing on the surroundings.

......

"What does ......it smell like?"

Nie Yun suddenly realized something, turned around, and sure enough, the armor-piercing beast was placed on an improvised shelf, while Huo Ling was looking around suspiciously, trying to find the source of the burning smell.

Nie Yun quickly jumped down and picked up the armor-piercing beast, and when he opened it, half of it was already pasted. But it's not too big, you can eat it with a little skin. In this environment, Nie Yun has never been a picky eater, as long as he can eat enough, as for the taste, he can only put it in second place.

"I'm sorry, I forgot to turn the roast. ”

Huo Ling said apologetically, at this time, the decisive female warrior was like an ordinary little girl who had done something wrong.

"Alas, forget it, I'll just eat, fortunately I'm not your sweetheart, otherwise it would be over. ”

After that, Nie Yun handed the good part to Huo Ling, and he took a big bite of the burned part.

"Well, it tastes good, it turns out that the meat will become more fragrant after a long time. ”

Nie Yun said with a smile as he gulped down on the half-charred barbecue.

Soon, the two of them solved an armor-piercing beast, and their physical strength was almost recovered, so they continued to move forward, this time the main target was a lord-level ghost leopard king, this kind of fierce beast flew and attacked quickly, and its strength was not weak, it belonged to a fierce beast that was both offensive and defensive, if it could use its magic crystal to wake up the soul snatcher, Nie Yun could continue to maintain a consistent fighting style. However, the premise is that the magic crystal of this ghost leopard king is a spiritual magic crystal, otherwise it can only be used as currency.

Of course, the most important point is to be able to kill this lord-level ghost leopard king, which is also the most difficult point.

"Further on is the territory of the Ghost Leopard, this beast is good at stealth and sneak attacks, we need to be careful. ”

Huo Ling reminded that after lifting the shield, the girl seemed to have become the powerful warrior again.

After walking for another ten minutes, Nie Yun suddenly stopped, turned back to Huo Ling and asked.

"Do you smell it?"

"Yes, it smells of blood, could it be that someone has taken the lead?"

"It shouldn't be us. ”

"Do aliens also need magic crystals to increase their strength?"

"The Ghost Leopard King has a lot of valuable things on him, maybe for other things, we need to pay attention to concealment. ”

As soon as Nie Yun finished speaking, a roar suddenly came from the dense forest in front of him, which shook the branches and caused a large number of branches and leaves to fall.

"It seems to be the voice of the Leopard King, and it ......"

Huo Ling said with a frown.

"Yes, it's the scream of the Leopard King, it seems that the other party has already succeeded. ”

Despite this, the two still have no plans to return.

In fact, the strength of a lord-level fierce beast like the Ghost Leopard King is comparable to that of a human powerhouse above level ten, and it is difficult for Nie Yun and them to defeat it in a head-on battle, but Nie Yun has his own plan.

But now that the Leopard King is dead, if someone else is really there, even if the Leopard King has a spiritual magic crystal on his body, it has already fallen into the hands of others.

The two of them walked forward a little further under the cover of plants, and finally saw the ghost leopard king, but the situation was completely different from what they imagined.

There was a lot of blood and stumps around the Leopard King, which apparently belonged to the ordinary ghost leopards, and the body of the Leopard King was lying on the edge of a huge bluestone. It was a ferocious beast with a body length of more than five meters, with two long fangs exposed and blood dripping from the fangs, which belonged to its opponent.

"What about the aliens? Why is there nothing?"

Huo Ling asked in a low voice, and then planned to go and have a look.

"Come back!"

Nie Yun grabbed Huo Ling, and then said solemnly: "There is also a lord-level fierce beast here, it seems that the opponent of the ghost leopard is not a foreign race, but a powerful fierce beast, it is here to eat, but the strength of the ghost leopard king is very strong, this big guy is injured." ”
