Chapter 11: Under the Mountains

The mountain wind is howling, the forest and the sea are turbulent, the night is like a curtain, the stars are dotted, a hanging moon hangs behind the clouds, swaying a faint clear light, and the chirping of the nightingale echoes melodiously, setting off a strange tranquility.

Under the calm night, there is an invisible killing machine.

A strange beast like a bobcat, jumping back and forth among the trees, silently landed not far from the camp, a pair of green eyes, looking through the gap between the branches and leaves, looking at the place where the fire was shining.

Hibernating, quietly waiting for an opportunity, motionless, like a sculpture.

Half an hour passed.

It slowly got up, lowered its body, used the weeds to hide its body, and crawled forward silently, step by step.

It can smell the smell of blood, it can see the prey with huge qi and blood, it is not impulsive, but presses its body lower, controlling the slow flow of qi and blood.

An hour passed.

"Boom~"

Dark clouds rolled in, obscuring the stars, the sun and the moon, the wind was fierce, and in the time of dozens of breaths, the downpour suddenly fell.

"It's raining. ”

Ren Qiu lay on a mat, quietly listening to the movement outside, the roof 'crackling', and the wind became louder and louder, like a ghost crying wolf.

He was thinking about the afternoon, and he always felt that something was wrong.

Touching the short sword at his waist, he rolled over, glanced at the rest of the people, fell into a deep sleep, and walked out.

Pushing open the door, the wind and heavy rain came from the shop, which instantly wet the body, woke up the people inside, and complained one by one.

Closing the door, he looked up at the dark sky, thunder rolling, lightning bolts, twisting and piercing the void.

The camp was pitch black, and the campfires were extinguished by the rain and scattered by the strong winds.

In the fierce wind and torrential rain, the disciples of the Martial Academy on duty one by one, wearing robes, carefully patrolled back and forth.

Suddenly, there was a scream of 'ah', which woke up the entire camp.

"It's a mountain leopard~"

"Chen Liu was dragged away, hurry up and go find Senior Brother Huang. ”

"Don't chase, it's foggy, it's raining heavily, it's easy to get lost. ”

......

Huang Sheng jumped a few times and rushed to the scene: "What's the matter?"

"Senior Brother Huang, it has just been raining heavily, and the two of us patrolled here, and a mountain leopard suddenly came out, bit Chen Liu's neck, and dragged him into the mountain forest. ”

"Mountain leopards?"

Huang Sheng's face was gloomy, and he couldn't tell the annoyance: "You don't have eyes, didn't you say that you want to cut down the trees around the camp and clear the weeds to make a clear view?"

A few people were chilling and didn't dare to speak.

In fact, the trees and weeds around the camp had been cleared far away, but the mountain leopard was too cunning and knew how to take advantage of the change in the weather, taking advantage of the moment when everyone was distracted, to attack suddenly, and this was successful.

"Senior Brother Huang, do you want to go find Chen Liu?"

"What are you looking for, deep in the mountains, it's raining heavily, can you know where the mountain leopard dragged him?"

Huang Sheng snorted coldly and glanced at a few people: "Don't give me a sad face, since you have come to the mountains and forests, death and injury are inevitable, if you don't want to be attacked by foreign beasts again, then cheer me up." ”

After the reprimand, he turned around and went back.

Ren Qiu didn't go over, just stood from a distance and watched, and a person next to him sighed: "Chen Liu is also unlucky, this heavy rain is pouring, and the sky is thundering, under normal circumstances, strange beasts will not haunt, they are all dormant in the cave, who knows that they will encounter a mountain leopard......"

"A strange beast like a mountain leopard, fast and explosive, comparable to a warrior with blood like lead, very cunning, in order to hunt, even for a few days without eating or drinking, and very grudgeful, anyone who encounters it has a headache. ”

The others shook their heads and went back to sleep.

Ren Qiu looked at the dark night sky, the light of lightning, reflecting a continuous mountain range, the rain was so heavy that it was like a hole in the sky, and it would never end.

In the second half of the night, before the rain stopped, the nearby river swelled and formed a torrent, approaching the camp, and in the midst of the shouting, it was impossible to sleep, and with the concerted efforts of the people, a large ditch was dug and large stones were brought in to block the front.

It wasn't until dawn that the rain was much lighter, but the flash flood broke out.

The big ditch dug at night was washed away, and manpower became small in front of nature at this moment, even if there were many warriors with blood like lead, they could only sigh helplessly, and did not dare to set foot in the flood.

The camp was abandoned, moved to a hillside, cut trees, cleared weeds, and dozens of people worked together until noon to establish a new shelter.

"When a flash flood breaks out, many strange beasts will come out to feed, and the river is their best hunting spot, everyone be careful, don't act alone, and report immediately when you encounter a strange beast. ”

Huang Sheng instructed that people be assigned to re-establish inspections and assign dozens of tasks in an orderly manner.

At noon, I eat the meat of alien beasts, which is good in the mountains and forests, and the meat of alien beasts is enough, as long as you can eat it.

At this point, Huang Sheng will not be harsh, in the mountains and forests, there is no etiquette, once people have resentment, it will be infinitely magnified, and it will be difficult to deal with accidents.

After all, when you come to the mountains and forests, although hunting alien beasts will bring huge benefits to individuals, the ultimate beneficiary is still Liu Zhuangzhuang.

Ren Qiu grabbed a piece of meat of more than ten catties, devouring and biting, he could feel that the meat entered the intestines, turned into a huge stream of heat, and was quickly digested by three times the qi and blood, and there was no waste at all.

"Senior Brother Ren has a good appetite...... Watching you eat, even I ate a few pounds more. ”

"Let Senior Brother He smile, how can you eat so freely on weekdays, but it is thanks to the blessings of all senior brothers. ”

Ren Qiu grinned, he knew this person, he had a good relationship with Zuo Tao, he remembered that his name was He Tiansong, and it was also the realm of qi and blood.

He Tiansong smiled: "It's true, I don't have this opportunity on weekdays, if you want to eat meat like now, you have to go up the mountain to hunt by yourself." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Huang Sheng not far away, and sighed in a low voice: "If we win the first place this time, our group of people will get some rewards at most, and the real big head is still that boxing technique, which must be Senior Brother Huang's." ”

"Oh, I don't know this boxing technique, but what is the way, and I ask Senior Brother He for advice. ”

"Instruction doesn't count, you haven't been in the martial arts academy for a long time, you don't know, our martial arts academy only teaches the method of swallowing and exhaling qi, mainly rolling stone skills, but not teaching fists and feet. ”

He Tiansong said enviously: "You must know that every fist and foot exercise is extremely precious, and it is worth 10,000 gold, it is all a secret tradition, unless it is a great contribution, the master will teach one." ”

Seeing that Ren Qiu was at a loss, he shook his head and explained: "For those of us who practice martial arts, if we eat the meat of foreign beasts and drink the decoction, in fact, seventy percent of the medicinal power and qi and blood are dissipated and wasted, and the remaining thirty percent and half will precipitate into the bones and slowly enhance our own qi and blood." ”

"But if there is a fist and foot technique, you can make use of these medicinal powers, qi and blood that cannot be absorbed, so as to enhance your own strength. ”

"This is also the preciousness of the fist and foot exercises, otherwise how can you be the first place reward. ”

Ren Qiu thought about it, the first thing he thought of was that his three times the growth rate of qi and blood was equivalent to a secret method?

He Tiansong patted Ren Qiu on the shoulder, quite satisfied as a teacher: "You and I don't have to think about it, hunt strange beasts honestly, get more back, enhance strength, and break through the qi and blood as soon as possible is fundamental." ”

"Thank you, Senior Brother He, for your advice. ”

"Okay, go back and clean up, you have to be busy in the afternoon, this big water will attract a lot of strange beasts to come over, remember not to rush forward, the meat of foreign beasts is precious, but life is your own, once the life is gone, no matter how much foreign beast meat is useless. ”

After speaking, He Tiansong's greasy big hand wiped his body, got up and left.

As He Tiansong said, before the afternoon, the sky was slightly clear, the sun pierced the clouds, and there was a thick fog in the mountains, and there were strange beasts.

After a short time, there are more and more strange beasts, different forms, some fly in the sky, some swim underwater, birds and beasts, there are many kinds; some pounce into the water, catch fish and eat, some bow their heads to lead the water, and more are swimming with each other.

The atmosphere became more and more tense, and from time to time there were several strange beasts, fighting each other, causing a commotion, and the scene was extremely bloody.

Fortunately, because the camp was large in number and far away from the river, the ordinary alien beasts did not dare to come, and the powerful alien beasts just glanced at the river.

"A team of five people, set a goal to round each other up, and try to hunt down those who are strong. ”

"Remember, don't fall in love with war, once you fall into danger, the people next to you will come to the rescue in time. ”

The group dispersed, except for the person who stayed behind to take care of the meat of the alien beast, the rest of the people were eager to try, and their faces were excited.

"Ready, on. ”

With Huang Sheng's order, dozens of people formed a team, quickly set a goal, and quietly touched it.

Ren Qiu and his entourage of five people were eyeing a strange beast like a porcupine, because of the mutation, the size was quite huge, four or five hundred catties, and the flat belly was close to the ground, revealing a body full of sharp black needles, which was very domineering and occupied a piece of water.

The other strange beasts around them didn't dare to approach, leaving a considerable amount of space, which was also the reason why they were targeting.

As they approached, the porcupine suddenly raised its head, and on its pointed nose, a pair of small eyes were scarlet, furious and cruel.

"Ahhhhh......h

A giant mouth, baring its fangs, hissed.

"This thing moves slowly...... Just pay attention to the needle prick on its back, don't get stabbed, otherwise it will be very troublesome. ”

The leader was an old disciple with a full body of blood, holding a steel fork in his hand, rolling up his sleeves, revealing his dark muscles.

At this time, the other teams had already begun to hunt, and a commotion quickly erupted on the river beach, and many strange beasts ran in a panic and were caught by other strange beasts.

The tragedy broke out in an instant.

"Fence it out. ”

The five people immediately stepped forward, and Ren Qiu was holding a steel knife in his hand, lagging behind the others, guarding one direction.

The porcupine was provoked, and immediately became furious, and the short legs dug the ground, splashed sand and gravel and flew wildly, and then lowered his head, and the needle pierced like a peacock opened the screen, and rushed to kill.

The steel fork poked, collided with the needle, and there was a piercing grinding sound, and the rest of the people immediately stepped forward with their swords on the ground.

Ren Qiu carried qi and blood, puffed up his muscles, slashed it with a knife, and landed on the porcupine, popping out huge sparks, and then a huge force came, and he shook it with a meaning, and then his palm was instantly strained, and he instinctively retreated.

"Don't ...... back"

Someone roared and glared at Ren Qiu: "Put away your little caution, everyone is working hard, and if you retreat, you will put others in danger." ”

Ren Qiu sighed, is this a strange beast?

Ordinary beasts, under his sword, were only afraid of being decapitated immediately, and this porcupine, with its steel thorns, was like wearing armor, coupled with its infinite strength, even dozens of well-trained ordinary people were immediately scattered.

Looking at the palm of his hand, a cracked bloody mouth was pulled into a blur of flesh and blood, and the tingling pain made his heart lift.

This strange beast is almost comparable to a warrior with blood like lead.
