Chapter 110: Danger in the depths of the swamp
Early the next morning, at dawn, the two of them had already packed their bags and began to move towards the area where the snake lived. It was close to the edge of Oboni's exploration, so the two of them were on their toes, as they didn't know if any beast from the depths would cross over to this side.
That's right, in addition to the treacherous geography, the most frightening are the strange beasts that live in the deepest part of the swamp. In front of them, the peripheral animals such as the snake and the swamp rhinoceros, which are also congenitally threatening, are just food for them to take and need.
The reason why Oponne stopped exploring at the edge of the snake's living area was because she had witnessed a fierce beast battle here. Two fierce beasts whose strength was not inferior to the innate peak, and even produced an attack method similar to the power of the primordial gods, fought in front of her. Even if she was a mile away from the opponent's battlefield, she was almost affected by the aftermath.
The first is a big buffalo that doesn't know how long it has lived. To be honest, Oboni felt that the marsh rhino was already a behemoth, but in front of this buffalo, it was only a small man. This cow is blue and black, and its appearance is no different from that of ordinary domestic buffaloes, except for one characteristic - it is large.
He was more than three feet long and two feet tall, and just that pair of terrifying corners was longer than Oboni's entire person. The tank's thick hooves, which leave only shallow hoof prints on the soft swampy mud, show that the beast has mastered the strange ability to control its own weight.
At that time, Oponne first spotted the buffalo on the edge of a rare woods in a swamp, and frightened her so much that she almost ran away. But then it became clear that the cow was not interested in her, but just glanced at her, turned his head and continued to lie down on the spot and eat the abundant aquatic plants.
It's not that Ou Boni has never seen strange beasts, and there are even ethnic groups in Lingzhou who domesticate and drive strange beasts for a living. But the alien beasts all have characteristics that are obviously different from ordinary beasts, but the one in front of them has no other peculiarities except for the big one. Is it unimaginably large and peculiar?
The inquisitive Obonie saw that the buffalo did not want to pay attention to herself, so she had the audacity to observe the surroundings. And the buffalo didn't care about a little bug circling around him, and it didn't affect him anyway. After spending more than an hour with one man and one beast, Oboni recorded the buffalo's size, color, and food, and even ventured close to communicate with her, but the buffalo ignored her. Sure that nothing else would be found, he did not dare to continue approaching, so he prepared to leave. And I hope to bring some delicious grass that has been concocted next time, and see if I can please this giant beast, so that I can get close and study each other.
At this moment, the big buffalo suddenly swept away its lazy appearance, and stood up with its back to Oboni and lowered its head slightly, its horns facing in that direction, and made a loud "moo" sound from its mouth, as if it was threatening something.
Obonie, who was familiar with animal habits, instantly understood that it had discovered an enemy, and that what could make the beast in front of her feel threatened was not something she could face. You must know that at this time, Oboni also has a mid-congenital realm, but she is not even qualified to let the buffalo look at her a few more times.
Luckily, however, the enemy who appeared to have arrived was in the opposite direction from her, allowing Oponne to leave calmly. So she backed away and continued to observe where the buffalo was. Just when she saw the buffalo's head swinging, but the horns were always aimed at the forest, the hunter in the forest was probably impatient. Then Oboni saw a black shadow pounce out, not only so fast that it could not be seen clearly, but also leapt up ten feet high, and fell straight to the back of the buffalo.
Although Obonnie's eyes did not react, the buffalo was prepared, and it just raised its head slightly, and directly aimed its pair of sharp and uncast horns at the landing point of the black shadow. This black shadow obviously can't fly, but relies on its excellent jumping ability, and it obviously can't change direction in the air, and a small movement of the giant bull makes the predator lose the opportunity in an instant.
However, this is just an idea that pops into the mind of Oboni in the light of light, and since it dares to provoke this giant bull, it means that it must have its own support. I saw that the black shadow suddenly twisted near the top of the buffalo's head, and it actually jumped forward again, and the landing point suddenly became behind the buffalo. And because the buffalo's eyes are on both sides of the head, it is inconvenient to look at the angle above, and the body is huge, it is difficult to turn around, and it is actually left behind by the opponent.
At the same time as the black shadow landed, it didn't even stop, as if the fall from a height of ten zhang did not have any impact at all, and it directly turned around and clawed. Since its height is less than half that of a buffalo, even if it is raised, it is only right in the butt of the buffalo, but there are obviously some delicate organs in this position, which makes the buffalo scream in pain for a lifetime, and the distant Oboni is numb in her ears and her eyes are black. At the same time, he flicked his hind hooves and wanted to kick the black shadow, but the opponent easily stayed away from it.
It was only at this time that Oponne could see the dark shadow's appearance clearly. It is a beast resembling a panther in appearance, but with a tuft of white hair on the tips of its ears and elbows, and at least a foot long. The most obvious thing on its body is the white stripe about a finger wide that runs from the door of the head down the spine to the tip of the tail.
"Black Beast!" Oboni was extremely surprised, she didn't expect to see not only a terrifying giant buffalo today, but also a rumored Black Beast!
There are not many of these beasts, and according to legend, they are a hybrid of the ancient beast "Hide" and the black panther. Although he does not have the ability to climb mountains and mountains like the "Hideous" who has not been in the world for a long time, and he does not have the appearance of a one-horned five-tailed person, he is born with the power to kill ordinary lion tigers, and when he is fully mature, he can reach the peak of innateness. And some gifted Black Ming Beasts can even break through their own limitations and reach the combat power of the outer gods.
The intelligence of mature black beasts is no less than that of humans, which also makes it possible for them to contact the power of the demon clan, and the demon clan achieved by the black beast has all kinds of incredible abilities, but I won't repeat them here - these are all recorded in the "Geography of the Rivers and Lakes" that Zhang Qing once saw in the governor's mansion and distributed all over the world, and the "Beast Chapter" of the supplementary part of the summer river version of "Qihuang Baicao" is also recorded. Of course, the ferocity of the Black Ming Beast is emphasized in the "Geographical Chronicles of the Rivers and Lakes", while the Summer River only cares about its medicinal value.
As far as the gossip goes, the two beasts fought in front of Obonie. Oboni had been with the buffalo for an hour, and since the buffalo was gentle and herbivore, she unconsciously leaned towards this side. Unfortunately, although the buffalo is large, it is far less flexible than the black beast. And although its thick cowhide is definitely invulnerable, it is a pity that the claws of the black beast are not ordinary, and I didn't see this fierce beast exert force, but it can easily cut through the tough cowhide. Oponne looked closely, and saw a faint white glow on its claws, wondering if it was some kind of ability.
Although the buffalo found an opportunity to slash its horns at the waist of the black beast, it was soon opened several large gaps by its opponents with its speed, and blood was spilled in the mud beneath its feet. And after the black beast was injured, it obviously became more and more serious, constantly dodging the horns and hooves of the bull, jumping behind the opponent to attack, so that the buffalo did not care about the tail.
The blood of this spirit beast obviously has a peculiar effect, at least in the records of the summer river, the blood of the black beast is "salty and healthy, and it is quick to apply it". Although the buffalo does not know the breed, it is also an opponent and prey that the Black Ming Beast needs to be treated carefully, and it is obvious that its blood is also a rare treasure. In the distance, Oboni could see a wild dog around her, both wanting to go up and greedy for a delicacy that she had never seen in her life, but also afraid of being injured by mistake, and most of the animals were obviously vigilant enough to run away early. The Black Ming Beast was visibly more excited when it smelled the other party's blood, not only did it let out a low roar in its throat, but its movements also became faster.
Seeing that the buffalo was gradually falling into the wind, Oboni, who was watching from afar, was very anxious, but could not do anything. Not to mention that she only sympathized with the buffalo slightly, even if she had a friendship with this behemoth, she would not be able to break into the battle circle. The longest weapon in his hand is only a medicine hoe, and the various poisons that can deal with ordinary beasts will probably take effect very slowly against this giant beast. Before the poison could take effect, the Black Ming Beast could directly pounce on her and give her a claw, and with her speed, it was absolutely impossible to dodge.
However, it was obviously Oboni Bai who was worried, and the buffalo saw that he could not stand up to his opponent, so he suddenly jumped up, and then fell heavily to the ground. And now it is clearly not controlling its weight with its own abilities as before, but completely letting go of the restrictions. Tens of thousands of catties of behemoths fell to the ground suddenly, coupled with the use of a certain ability of the buffalo itself, the ground sank suddenly where it landed, and at the same time, the folds were visible to the naked eye next to it, and it quickly expanded outward, and the water in the surrounding pool also splashed upwards like a fountain several feet high.
