Chapter 20: First Killing and Second Killing
The duo began to move. Lin Dong was responsible for knowing the way ahead, holding a spirit talisman in one hand and a knife in the other, his body was slightly prostrate, ready to attack at any time. Li Ling was one meter behind, and his spiritual sense focused on the back and sides of him, and the magic weapon was not preparing to attack, but to protect the space above the two of them first. After walking some distance, Lin Dong would communicate with Li Ling with gestures.
The cooperation between the two gradually became proficient. Senior Brother Li followed behind, very satisfied with the performance of the two. Without using their strength to suppress them, it is difficult to sneak up on them.
Lin Dong's induction found a demon beast. "A hundred meters in front of the left, moving fast, not very large. The other party did not find out. Lin Dong thought to himself, his body shook slightly, and Lin Dong made a defensive gesture. smiled bitterly in his heart, "No matter how prepared I am, I'm still nervous." It still has to be done, and wait for Li Inspiration to respond to the demon beast. ”
Li Ling didn't sense that a demon beast was approaching, so he still prepared for defense first. Lin Dong pretended to be a little uneasy all of a sudden, and asked Li Ling with a gesture, did he find anything?
"At this time, it can only be explained by instinctively sensing the danger approaching!" Lin Dong thought of a possible explanation.
His uneasiness, Senior Brother Li also explained that his intuition was strong, and some cultivators relied on this intuition to escape when danger came. Otherwise, he discovered the demon beast before him?
Li Ling calmed his mind and suddenly made a series of gestures. Lin Dong began to slap the ground with his knife, and Li Ling went around to the back of Lin Dong's side, a fireball talisman in his hand was ready to be fired, and the magic weapon was attached to Lin Dong's back.
This demon beast was extremely fast, and it had already grabbed Lin Dong's head in an instant. Lin Dong was sure that if his head was grabbed by that sharp claw, he would definitely fall. When they reached a distance of one meter, the fireball sent out by Li Ling from the side was about to hit the demon beast, and Lin Dong took a step back. It's just too fast.
The demon beast obviously didn't take a hit with the fireball, and with a turn in the air, it headed towards Li Ling, and that fireball annoyed it. Lin Dong took advantage of the time when the demon beast turned to that moment and took another step in advance, blocking the way of the demon beast towards Li Ling, and the knife stood upright in front of him. Obviously, he had already broken off the reaction of the demon beast, and waited for the demon beast to hit the knife edge. At this time, the demon beast turned a little reluctantly, and Lin Dong's knife had quickly slashed towards the demon beast, but it was fast, and there was no pursuit of strength. The demon beast could only pause and slap its claws to the side of Lin Dongdao. The force of the knife is not very strong, but it can also hurt it.
Lin Dong's knife was slapped crookedly, and although Lin Dong held it hard, it was still not as powerful as the demon beast's slap. At this time, the speed of the demon beast was zero, and before it could accelerate and fly out again, the hosta magic weapon came out from behind Lin Dong and pierced into the throat of the demon beast in a single breath. Li Ling easily completed his task.
Lin Dong immediately made up for it, and the first kill of the two was completed so simply.
Lin Dong quickly put away the demon beast and sprinkled some medicinal powder on the bloodstains. Li Ling was on guard as usual until Lin Dong made a gesture, retreated to the starting place with Lin Dong, and confirmed that it was safe, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
The two of them sat down separately, closing their eyes and reminiscing about the whole process from departure to return.
At this time, Li Ling already admired Lin Dong a little, and according to Lin Dong's plan, he hunted a demon beast that was known for its speed without any danger. In the past, this kind of speed-type demon beast was the most difficult to hunt, and it was also the type with the most reasons for the fall of novices. And Lin Dong's plan for this kind of demon beast was only a small part.
"Is this a delusion?Why am I so confident that as soon as the junior demon beast appears, it will definitely be hunted by me and him?" Li Ling thought strangely, with only the strength of an ordinary fourth-layer cultivator, according to Lin Dong's plans, this was really the case. The strength of demon beasts is generally higher than that of cultivators of the same level, and people like them are indeed demonic enough.
"This method can be taught in the family, and it must be of great help to the growth of the children of the lower cultivators. There are many jade slips in the family who specialize in hunting demon beasts, but there is no one who can be as meticulous and organized as Lin Dong. I really don't know how he came up with it? In the past few days, I have been peeking into the mystery of this method from Lin Dong. Li Ling was planning in his heart. The more I thought about it, the more I felt that Lin Dong was not as simple as it seemed.
Lin Dong was thinking about the problem of facing this demon beast personally. "There are a lot of things that I don't have experience, let's see if it's possible to ask Senior Brother Ling!" Lin Dong was very helpless about his lack of experience, "I can only rely on thinking more and accumulating more." ”
got up and discussed with Li Ling about the gains and losses on the ground just now.
This time, Li Ling was a lot more enthusiastic, and Senior Brother Li, who was watching, frowned, but it was difficult to stop him. It is impossible for Lin Dong to know Li Ling's identity, and what the two are talking about is also related to demon beasts, which is not without benefits to Li Ling!
The two quickly finished their discussion. There are no big problems, just some details are argued. No one obeyed anyone, and they met to see each other when they hunted.
The two of them prepared again, still with Lin Dong in front and Li Ling behind, gesturing to each other and searching carefully.
Lin Dong's movements were a little faster than last time, and some superfluous movements were thrown away. Some movements become more natural.
Li Ling strangely found that Lin Dong's movements had a wonderful sense of rhythm, which made Lin Dong gradually feel a little like he had integrated into this forest!
"Why did Lin Dong become blurry in my spiritual sense? I almost couldn't sense him in my spiritual sense just now?" Li Ling had to strengthen the release of his spiritual sense.
Li Ling's spiritual sense suddenly increased, and Lin Dong immediately sensed it, "There are demon beasts?" Lin Dong thought that Li Ling had some special way to sense demon beasts, and made defensive preparations according to the plan while gesticulating. Li Inspiration responded to Lin Dong's inquiry and gave a fine reply. Now is not the time to explain.
"It's an elusive sense of rhythm, but it always gives me a great feeling. Li Ling observed Lin Dong's movements while moving forward cautiously. His hands and feet couldn't help but be driven by Lin Dong.
Li Ling stepped into the air, which surprised Lin Dong. Lin Dong's fireball talisman was activated, and his body jumped into the air above Li Ling, and the knife was ready to deal with possible dangers at any time. Lin Dong's series of actions were to make Li Ling safe enough before Senior Brother Li came to help. In addition to Li Ling's body, Lin Dong couldn't take care of it, Lin Dong threw a fireball to the right, and the person jumped up to the left, blocking Li Ling's possible danger. That life-saving defensive talisman had slid from the cuff into the palm of the hand, and it was in a state of activation at any time! The faint fluctuation of the spirit rune was revealed from Lin Dong's palm.
As soon as Li Ling's gesture was made, Lin Dong had already organized the defense of the two, and Senior Brother Li had already put a protective magic shield on Li Ling.
Walking all the way back to the place where he joined everyone, Lin Dong kept walking behind Li Ling's side, and Li Ling's other side was Senior Brother Li.
"You must be vigilant at all times, you can't afford any accidents!" Lin Dong thought to himself. The accident just now is likely to make Senior Brother Li think that Lin Dong wants to do something to Li Ling, so according to Senior Brother Li's attention to Li Ling, he may make a move against Lin Dong. Lin Dong didn't leave the rear because he had no other vain plans. And walking a little farther away from the side is for safety, no matter what he and Senior Brother Li want to do, both sides have time to react.
Senior Brother Li realized this and glanced at Lin Dong approvingly. He couldn't find anything wrong with Lin Dong at all, and Li Ling also explained the situation just now, which was his own reason.
Lin Dong stood quietly to the side, putting away all his spiritual sense. Watching the two of them in the distance with the shield on. The shield is dark green, its fluctuations are not very strong but fine, and it is obviously extremely defensive. "This shield can't be broken by itself!" Lin Dong compared the fluctuations of the shield with that big man, and came to this helpless conclusion. For the existence of insolvability, Lin Dong chose to stay away from this method.
Li Ling walked towards Lin Dong, Lin Dong felt a trace of alienation from him, "It seems that I am going to conduct a separate trial early, and there is no point in cooperating with other cultivators after the union is almost mastered." Lin Dong thought with a little regret.
"Senior Brother Lin, I have something to go back to the city first. ”
Lin Dong nodded. Li Ling opened his mouth, reached for the storage bag with his hand and put it back, but finally said nothing. Lin Dong vaguely sensed Li Ling's emotions at this time, and there was fear in them.
The two of them are nothing, and if they can sue each other, they can be regarded as not partnering to hunt a demon beast in vain. Lin Dong didn't mention the handling of the demon beast, and looked at Li Ling and the two of them going away.
"Senior Brother Hu, Senior Brother wants to withdraw from this trial!" Lin Dong said to Senior Brother Hu.
"It's your business when the trial ends. Get your identity token out. Senior Brother Hu's answer was straightforward. took out the task jade slip and touched Lin Dong's token, ending Lin Dong's first trial career.
Lin Dong turned around and walked in the direction of Demon Slaying City. Senior Brother Hu was expressionless at this and continued to test with others. Lin Dong was just a passerby.
