Volume 1: The Horns of the Head Chapter 18: Under Attack, the Swarm of Rats
Two months, the time is very short, but every day in the place where the spirit beast haunts, it is estimated that everyone is living like a year.
Wang Mo and the others have been following the team for a month, and there will be a spirit beast attack every day for a month. The Spirit Hill Cave was besieged by more than 30 wind wolves, losing four people, and then passing through the bluestone beach, it was attacked by a fourth-order giant spirit python, losing seven people, and finally Lin Sen and another water attribute spirit general in the group shot together to take it down.
To this day, the entire team has lost fifteen people, and almost half of them are wounded.
Wang Mo has experienced the most unforgettable days in his life in this month, and he has seen all kinds of spirit animals that teachers have talked about or not. Walking, always on the lookout for surroundings, maybe somewhere a spirit beast or some other danger lurking. Being tormented by this tense atmosphere also made their young nerves slowly thicken. Fortunately, there is the protection of the hunter group and teacher Chen Zhiwen.
Wang Mo watched a spiritual priest being dragged away directly by an unknown red rattan, and when he was rescued, he was already burned all over his body, and it didn't take long for the person to be gone. Later, Wang Mo learned that he was dragged away by a kind of fiery vine called the blazing vine, although this blazing vine is a plant, it has an aggressiveness similar to that of a spirit animal, and its overall strength is around the second order.
There are no ordinary people in the team, and the lowest is also a mid-level spiritual priest, at least they have some self-protection ability, and in this dangerous environment, human life is as fragile as a piece of paper.
"Hurry up, we must get to the entrance of the Beast's Spine Canyon tonight. ”
It's getting late now, and it's not suitable to rush in the canyon at all, so let's pass it tomorrow.
At the mouth of the canyon, the team stopped and chose a dirt slope to camp, which was relatively high on one side of the mountain, and there was no tall vegetation around, so that it was easy to find some dangers at night.
"Spiritual Law, Ground Net Grass"
The head of the forest group asked people to scatter the seeds of some plants around the camp, and urged them with the spiritual power of the wood system, and the seeds that were sown immediately began to germinate, slowly became longer, and became tangled together, spreading a net-like grass blanket around the camp.
"This is the ground net grass, which is spawned with my wood spiritual power, and can exist for a night time, if there is a creature stepping on it, I will be reminded, you should not walk around at will in the middle of the night, to avoid triggering the ground net grass. ”
It's not that he didn't use it in advance, the previous attack was either during the day, or the camping place was not suitable for planting this kind of grass, and the seeds of the ground net grass were also difficult to obtain, so it had to be used on the blade.
The reason why the Beast Ridge Mountain Range is called the Beast Ridge is because it is like an animal's spine as a whole, from east to west, spanning thousands of miles, there is a canyon every other distance, someone has specially calculated that there are 23 canyons in the mountain range, and the canyon that Wang Mo wants to go is only a small canyon at the very edge of the Beast Ridge Mountain Range.
At night, accompanied by the roar of beasts from afar from time to time, although Wang Mo and the others were very tired, they couldn't sleep for a long time, he was thinking about Chen Zhiwen's words before, yes, the spirit beasts and the human race belong to the two ends of the balance of battle, but the number of the earth beast clan is too much, and he has at least seen thousands of spirit beasts along the way.
"Hurry up, there is movement" A high-pitched warning was headed by Lin.
Wang Mo and the others quickly got out of the tent, and saw that the head of the Lin regiment was standing not far away, warily facing one direction, and from time to time someone got out of the tent to check the situation.
"What's going on? It's a spirit animal."
"I don't know, my ground web grass was touched, but I came out to see and found nothing. ”
"I didn't find it, it can't be, what about the night watchman, did you see anything?"
"Report to the two regiment commanders, I found nothing. ”
"No, I came out as soon as the ground net grass was touched, and I didn't notice anything, unless the other party was too fast or could be invisible. How could it be. ”
"Could it be that the other party will not be able to fly? ”
Wang Mo suddenly felt a little nervous, just like the last time he sensed the blue water crocodile. "Is there really any spirit beast that is good at hiding itself, by the way, dark sense. ”
Putting his hand on the ground, the dark spiritual power was hidden by the earth-based spiritual power and released, and the surrounding ground began to form an accurate picture in his mind, Wang Mo stretched the spiritual power in the direction that the head of the forest was facing.
A faint green light appeared in his mind, just below the ground netting grass.
"It's triggered from below, no wonder it wasn't found. ”
Putting away his spiritual power, Wang Mo pointed at a certain point in that direction.
"There"
"Where, I don't see anything. ”
"Psychics, earth thorns. A thorn was nailed into his finger by Wang Mo, making a "squeak" scream.
Captain Lin immediately sent someone to check, and soon after, the man came back with a super large mouse.
"It's a five-spirit mouse, looking at the coat color, it should be a wood spirit mouse, a first-order level, no wonder I can't find it, it can hide itself well with the cover of ground net grass. ”
The five spirit rats are the rat spirit beasts of the five attributes, and their ontological strength is not strong, but they are particularly good at hiding themselves. Usually underground, and very timid.
"It's a bit troublesome, the five spirit rats are social spirit beasts, and the smallest group of rats is more than a hundred, and if we meet one here, it means that we are close to their territory. ”
"Shall we not provoke them?"
"I'm afraid it's not that simple, now is the breeding season of the rat colony, it belongs to a special period of rage, usually they are timid, and now they will be desperate to clearly invade the creatures of the territory, anyway, the last time we took this route, there was not, how can there be a rat colony now!"
"Presumably during the breeding season, they migrate to a relatively safe place. Hopefully not canyons, tomorrow we pass quickly, try not to provoke them. ”
The towering cliffs on both sides of the canyon block most of the sunlight, so that the canyon that looks fifty or sixty meters wide has no trees growing in it, only shallow grass, and the morning dew and the moisture in the canyon make people feel wet.
The procession moved silently, all the horses and wheels pulling the cart wrapped in thick cloth to ensure that no unnecessary sound was made. Wang Mo and the others followed in the middle of the team, ignoring the dew on their feet, and looked around vigilantly.
The sun began to rise slowly, and although the sunlight only shone on the cliffs, the canyon was warmed by the reflected light. Seeing the exit at the other end of the canyon from a distance, everyone finally put down their snacks a little.
With a "bang", the wheels of a truck suddenly sank and smashed on the grass, the body was not wrapped in any thick cloth, Lin Sen pushed the car out of the pit with a heavy palm, and shouted: "Hurry up!"
He didn't care about anything to keep quiet, because he had already heard a "squeak" sound from the place where the wheels were sinking, which was simply a passage made by the five spirit rats in the ground, which was crushed by the wheels, revealing two passages, one left and one right.
"Psitronics, Water Dragon Impact", "Psitronics, Giant Vines"
A water dragon, a giant rattan whip rushed into the hole on both sides, the water dragon was okay, with a violent roaring water flow poured into a hole, the squeak of the hole was completely drowned, the rattan whip was a little crazy, stabbed along the hole, the screams were endless, even this is still not enjoyable, the rattan whip also shook a few times, collapsed a passage, and threw out a few bloody rat corpses.
The convoy began to accelerate, speeding desperately, and the ground behind it began to shake, "boom", the whole ground sank, and a huge pit appeared, there were several rat holes in the pit, and countless five-spirit rats gushed out of the hole.
"Oh no, the number of rats is estimated to be more than 10,000, and the team's Great Spirit Master and above will intercept it with all their might, and the others will withdraw from the canyon as quickly as possible. ”
"Psychic Skill, Ground Thorn Group", "Psychic Skill, Python Vine Whip", "Psychic Skill, Starless Fireball", "Psychic Skill, Golden Rain"... The spiritual skills of seven or eight great spirit masters and the spiritual skills of the two spirit generals were thrown at the rat swarm in unison, smashing out patches of blood-colored spray on the rat swarm that was like a wave on the ocean.
These few spirit skills have harvested the lives of at least hundreds of five spirit rats, but they are far from the number of rats.
Chen Zhiwen looked at the situation behind him, and said to Wang Mo in an unquestionable tone: "I'll help, you guys leave quickly, don't look back." "He's not a member of the Hunters, so it stands to reason that he doesn't have to do anything.
"Psionics, Storm Tornado"
The wind attribute is very unique, the wind without speed does not pose any threat, and the wind with speed can destroy the withering and decaying.
A tornado of tens of meters composed of wind, with a rotating wind blade, rolled up the approaching spirit rats, tearing them into blood-colored flesh in the storm.
But it was only a little bit of a barrier and then it dissipated, not a matter of spiritual power, but the number of rats was too large, and the rotation speed dropped when the number of rolled up reached the limit.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, everyone is frantically speeding away from this area.
A spirit horse pulling goods tripped and stumbled, neighing and being drowned by the rats, and in a short time only Sensen's bones were gnawed.
Wang Mo and the others can be regarded as thanking Teacher Chen for their special training, although the stature of several people is relatively short, the speed of the sprint is definitely the fastest, the monkey uses the wind spirit method to speed himself up, and now he is dragging Sun Yan and Mo Li one by one, because they are the slowest speed.
"Can you two hurry up any longer, I'm tired to death"
"Don't talk, run" Morlie had many rare words.
It's closer, and it's finally at the mouth of the canyon.
The wall at the entrance to the canyon suddenly collapsed to reveal a hole from which a spiky rat's head emerged.
"There's a spirit mouse in front of you!"
"Boom them"
"Spiritual Skill, Golden Needle Triple Burst", "Spiritual Skill, Lightning Strike", the three monkeys in the back didn't have time to shoot at all, and now they only rely on Cheng Yong and Wang Mo, Wang Mo's shot is his own thunder spiritual skill.
Three golden needles pierced the exposed rat head into the cave again, followed by Wang Mo's purple thunder arc into the hole.
The current of "popping" spread in the hole, Wang Mo didn't care about appreciating his achievements, he quickly rushed a few steps to the entrance of the cave, and took the spiritual power of the earth system with both hands and patted it, "Lingfa, collapse."
The soil and rocks at the entrance of the cave collapsed directly, blocking the entrance of the cave.
It's done, seeing that the entrance to the cave is blocked, and there is no risk of being blocked, Wang Mo Chengyong said hello, and then fled.
Someone in the rear was constantly caught up and disappeared into the moat swarm.
Finally ran out of the canyon mouth, where the terrain is relatively narrow, which is convenient for defense. Looking back at the rats behind him and starting to slow down, Wang Mo knew that it should be safe.
