Chapter 34: Precursors of the Beast Tide
Zhang Fan walked forward with everyone while resisting the wind, while pondering the principle of the arrangement of the Nine Palaces Great Array in the jade slip sent by the fourth ghost fat, and at the same time compared it with the small gathering spirit array and the small mystery formation that he knew, and found that the small mystery array and the small gathering spirit formation only need one person to control the zhì formation, which is simple and fast, while the Nine Palace killing array requires nine people to set up the formation together, which is complicated and cumbersome.
He secretly felt ashamed of his lack of common sense in his heart, after all, his cultivation was only one or two levels higher than himself, and he could set up a formation to kill the enemy beyond the level, and he had a brute force, but he only had the simplest small spirit gathering formation and the small lost trace formation, and his formation level was far behind the monks of the same period. That's a red flag. If he is suddenly introduced into the formation by the enemy when he is fighting with others, and there is nowhere to use his super skills, no matter how good the magic weapon and how many elixirs he has, he can only be ravaged by others.
Of course, Zhang Fan wanted to think about it, but he was not slow at his feet, and followed everyone all the way to the hunting ground.
Arena 5 is in front of Arena 4, and members of the Whirlwind Hunter squad have to pass through Arenas 1 to 4 to reach their destination.
Zhang Fan and the nine people traveled all the way north, and after a while, they came to a mountain forest. The mountains and fields here are continuous, the sun and moon are not visible, the sky is green, and the surroundings are quite quiet, but there are occasional insect chirpings ahead.
"Lao Jiu, we have now entered the No. 1 Beast Hunting Field. Although there are no powerful spirit beasts here, there are often poisonous snakes in groups. You have to be careful not to get bitten by a snake secretly. While everyone was walking, the emaciated young man Heishui suddenly turned to Zhang Fan and said. Zhang Fan replied lightly: "Thanks for the reminder, I know." Then the crowd went on. However, the speed of the wind is slightly faster.
The beast hunting ground is worthy of being a good place for monks to practice, kill beasts and find medicine during the Qi training period, Zhang Fan walked all the way, and there was a sound of grass and trees around. A faint aura filled the forest, and it didn't take long to encounter dozens of hundred-year-old elixirs. Other people's luck is not as bad as Zhang Fan, and they have also encountered some mature century-old elixirs, so they naturally will not let go of the elixirs they encountered along the way.
After a while, Zhang Fan and the nine of them came to an open swamp, and a faint fishy smell permeated the dark green sea of grass. Blood Demon suddenly reminded: "Fellow Daoists, shout to be careful. It's a muddy bore. There will be a level 3 wild pig hidden under the mud. The strength of the wild pig is not high, but there are many of them, and they are extremely haunting. will affect our plans. Everyone nodded, and Zhang Fan also let go of his divine sense and secretly paid attention to the movements around him.
The nine of them hadn't gone far when a "poof" sound came from ahead. Then a foul, pungent stench permeated the surroundings. Everyone opened the faint True Qi defensive shield one after another. Hurry forward.
"Coo, coo, coo, coo......" One after another, the sound of pigs snorting came out one after another. Then a "poof" sound of the mud breaking through the grass resounded all over the sea of grass.
"Be careful, fellow Daoists, we have alarmed a group of wild pigs, the number is unknown, and the strength should be between the third and fourth levels. Everyone sped up to pass the guò swamp while preventing the wild pigs from getting close. Blackwater reminded.
Everyone raised their vigilance in unison, and took out magic weapons to face the enemy.
"Poof!" a large disgusting stench overflowed Zhang Fan's mouth and nose unawares. Zhang Fan was furious, his heart moved, and the black sword instantly appeared in his hand.
"Goo, goo, goo......" A pig snort quickly approached Zhang Fan. Several foul-smelling mud shadows shot at him quickly. Zhang Fan snorted coldly. A true qi was injected into the human emperor's sword, and the barbarian pig that swept with the sword swept away. A colorful sword flashed, and the three third-level wild pigs were instantly split into two, and at the same time, the wild pigs' qi and blood were devoured, and several pieces of wild pig corpses fell with a few "pops" and disappeared into the swamp.
"Goo, goo, goo......" As soon as the three third-level wild pigs in front died, more wild pigs in the back quickly attacked. Zhang Fan's mind moved again, his divine sense locked on the close pigs one by one, the black sword continued to sweep back and forth, and the attacking barbarian pigs were connected by colorful sword lights, the qi and blood were sucked dry, and they fell into the mire.
"Master, kill it quickly, although this wild pig stinks, it has enough qi and blood, which is very beneficial to the master's cultivation. "When Zhang Fan killed the wild pig, the spirit of the black sword transmitted. Zhang Fan's heart moved, and he responded: "Okay, Lao Hei, you just need to ensure that the master is full of true qi and blood, and it is not a problem to be a wild pig." ”
"Goo-goo...... Cuckoo...... Cooing......" The snort of wild pigs came from all directions, and the fishy smell came out one after another in the sea of grass.
At this time, the bloody demon who hunted the wild pig in front shouted: "Brothers and sisters, let's not get entangled with the wild pig, get out of here quickly." For some reason, there are more and more wild pigs. The mud swamp not only has a third-level wild pig, but also a fourth- and fifth-level wild pig. ”
Everyone said: "Okay! Let's hurry close and leave quickly, otherwise we will be exhausted by the endless wild pigs." As he spoke, the crowd quickly approached the bloody demon in front of them.
"Goo, goo, goo......" Zhang Fan was behind everyone, and the wild pigs around him had gathered a large area of black pressure. He kept moving his sword to slash the wild pigs that entered his body, and one after another sword light ruthlessly devoured the lives of the wild pigs, and streams of pure blood "rumbled" in his body. But the wild pigs gathered more and more, as if they were angered by Zhang Fan, and as if they were stimulated by the smell of blood, they all screamed and attacked Zhang Fan desperately.
Zhang Fan's black sword slashed one by one, and the blood-red openings were impressive, and the colored light filled the herd of barbarian pigs with a fishy smell, and the dried corpses of barbarian pigs fell like raindrops. The cheers of the black sword "whoop" sounded in Zhang Fan's mind. The dark red blood spots on Zhang Fan's body overlapped one by one on his cyan robe, thickening layer by layer, and his fair face gradually became ruddy, and one after another of hot blood accompanied by the blood light of the black sword and the loud shouts in his mouth flowed freely in his body, and an indescribable feeling of excitement filled his heart.
Zhang Fan killed the wild pig, and the more he killed, the more excited he became, but he didn't realize that the level of the wild pig under the sword gradually rose from level three to level four, and then from level four to level five. The black sword in his hand that harvested life slashed again and again, and the river of dried corpses of rows of wild pigs flowed down one by one like floods that opened the floodgates, but the wild pigs were still tireless, not afraid of life and death, humming and besieging him.
"Hmph...... Hum...... Hum ......" The snort of the wild pig resounded throughout the sea of grass. Patches of spiritual grass several feet high were pressed into the mire by the sea of wild pigs. Patches of hollows appeared in the green field, and patches of dark yellow mud dotted in the sea of grass.
Zhang Fan couldn't remember how many wild pigs he had killed. I only felt that the qi and blood around my body were full again and again, and I was consumed again and again, and the strength of the muscles around my body increased little by little. It made him feel a sense of excitement that the pigs were wiped out in a wave of his hand.
"Lao Jiu (Xuanhuang)! This is the precursor to the outbreak of the beast tide, you don't want to be entangled with the wild pig anymore, otherwise you will have to worry about your life. When Zhang Fan was hunting the wild pig, he gathered in the distance, and the eight people of Heishui, who were fighting and retreating with the wild pig, shouted at Zhang Fan.
When Zhang Fan heard this, he was a little sober and hunted wild pigs. He shouted, "Okay! I'll come now." As he spoke, he began to step back quickly. However, where would the sea-like herd of wild pigs let him go, and as soon as Zhang Fan retreated, he quickly rushed up. One by one, the wild pigs turned into flying pigs. With mud, like boulders, it smashed towards Zhang Fan. Zhang Fan had no choice but to continue to kill the wild pig. Look for an opportunity to retreat.
"Lao Jiu! Retreat quickly. The beast tide may have erupted in advance, and we can't fight hard, we have to hide for the time being. The Blackwater Eight shouted again.
When Zhang Fan heard this, he also felt that he had almost killed him, and if he continued to kill, he was afraid that he would be drowned by the wild pig, so the black sword in his hand was a little faster. The rows of "humming" desperate attacks of the wild pigs made it difficult for him to find a good time to retreat. The wild pig has already crowded Zhang Fan's surroundings. He killed the wild pig in front of him, and there was a wild pig attacking from behind. Kill the wild pig in the back, and the wild pig in front hums and bites again.
"The king is invincible!" Zhang Fan shouted angrily, and suddenly a true qi submerged into the black sword, and a glittering golden light suddenly erupted on the black sword, and a majestic momentum filled the mud. The wild pig and everyone in the distance were all frightened by this monstrous momentum and were stunned.
"Kill!" Zhang Fan burst out. Suddenly, one after another fierce multicolored qi swords sank into the herd of barbarian pigs in a radius of dozens of zhang, and the barbarian pigs were instantly cut in half, and pieces of red light suddenly appeared, and bursts of bloody smell filled the void.
"Close!" Zhang Fan burst out again, and suddenly blood dragons surged from all directions, and they sank into the black sword like lightning. Immediately, a "bang" sound sounded, and pieces of dried pig corpses sank into the mire one after another. The wild pigs that did not die were finally frightened, and one by one they hid in the mire without snorting.
At the same time, Zhang Fan's body was red with blood, his green tendons were exposed, and he was domineering. With a burst of "poof", the cyan robe around him suddenly bulged, the black hair on his head suddenly stood upright, and the blood and dirt instantly turned into ashes and left Zhang Fan's clothes and fell into the mire.
"Ahh Zhang Fan came back to his senses, his scarlet face was instantly as usual, and his black hair and Taoist robe hung down quietly as before. His heart moved, he took the black sword, regardless of the wild pigs around him who had been frightened and hid in the quagmire and did not dare to come out, Yufeng came to everyone's side, regardless of everyone's stunned expressions, and said with a smile: "Let's go, otherwise the real beast tide will come, and we will be in trouble." ”
"Brother Xuanhuang Dao is right, let's go!" said the goddess wearing a black veil lightly. Heishui also said: "Okay, let's go quickly." There is a beast tide in the three districts, and there will be a beast tide in other places soon. We have to hurry to the fifth district, and if we can hunt the snake king, we will kill it, and if we can't hunt the snake king, we will hide for the time being. Everyone nodded, and then the wind quickly headed north.
Along the way, most of them didn't speak, just walked silently, as if they thought of the terrifying pig tide just now, and as if they suddenly found that their teammates were beyond their imagination, and they were ashamed of themselves. Of course, there is an exception to the human exception, and that is blood.
At this time, Xuesha deliberately walked with Zhang Fan at the back of the team, talking while flying against the wind. Xuesha asked, "Brother Xuanhuang, what kind of Dao method is the move you used just now, how does it look a bit like the move used by a monk in the foundation building period?" Zhang Fan shook his head and said, "It's just a secret method to stimulate potential, and you will know it later." "Saying that the speed of the wind is a little faster, catch up with the team. Xuesha then asked, "Brother Xuanhuang, where did you buy that flying sword?" Killing a spirit beast is as easy as killing a chicken?" Zhang Fan said, "I'll sue you again when I have time in the future." Bloody said again: "Brother Xuanhuang, don't be so stingy." Zhang Fan said helplessly: "We need to hurry now." Bloody said angrily: "Hmph, let's hurry up and don't delay talking." If you don't want to say it, just say it. As he spoke, he seemed to be angry, sped up, entered the crowd in front of him, and left Zhang Fan alone at the back of the line.
Zhang Fan sighed, was silent, and continued to hurry. (To be continued......)
