Soon, they encountered the monster. And they are a group of monsters.
At Gong Xia's deliberately lowered voice, everyone stopped moving forward. Heather's mental power was the first to discover this group of monsters, which were a group of marmots. This kind of monster is not big in size, but it is very thick and fat, with stubby limbs and two front teeth that grow abruptly on its mouth. It looks particularly cute.
Everyone has learned about this common monster in the monster awareness class. As long as marmots don't actively provoke them, they will not attack. Moreover, this group of twenty or thirty marmots are only first-level monsters.
Marmots have a very keen sense of smell, and they have obviously spotted Heather and his party at this distance. They just stood in a row by the mound, with their mouths open and their two front teeth exposed, looking at them curiously.
In order to avoid trouble, Heather patted Li Han on the shoulder and pointed to the side. Li Han also discovered this group of marmots at this time, and she understood it and whispered to Su Feihe in a low voice. Su Feihe bypassed the group of marmots in front and continued to cut away the thorns to the side.
As he walked forward, Li Han asked Heather in a low voice, "Why do we have to go around? Those marmots just now are not strong, just kill them."
Heather smiled and said: "They are not a threat to us. Why kill them. Although monster beasts reproduce very quickly, if all cultivators are like this, will there still be monster beasts in the dense areas of monster beasts after many years? What's more, even if We should not take it lightly when encountering low-level monsters. Because once we fight with them, the smell and sound of blood are likely to attract powerful monsters, so we'd better be careful."
Li Han said sincerely: "Brother Shi, I can't tell that you still know this."
Heather smiled and said: "Although the military conducts sieges on areas with dense monster beasts every year, they always leave some monsters behind in order to maintain the ecology. This year, we were lucky enough to observe the siege, even the fastest-reproducing green wood rat , as long as they don’t take the initiative to attack, they won’t kill them all.”
Indeed, with current human methods, it would not take a matter of minutes to eliminate an area densely populated with monsters. Why leave these monster-dense areas? For the sake of sustainable development of human beings, both the cultivation of cultivators and the demand for various materials come from various areas where monsters are densely populated. Of course, some of the materials required for top technologies are also obtained from areas where monsters are concentrated.
The vegetation on the mountainside is so dense that it is no exaggeration to describe it as "blocking out the sky and sun". Very little sunlight shines through the branches and leaves. But it's not dark here. On the contrary, the sunlight shines on the leaves. Looking up, it's like being in a sea of green.
Everyone continued to move forward for about an hour, and it was already noon. Along the way, they also encountered many monsters, but most of them were first or second level. Although they tried their best to avoid them, they still occasionally came up to die with some blind eyes. Su Feihe, who was opening the way, easily solved the problem by swinging his two swords.
"Okay, let's all rest for a while." Gong Xia's voice made everyone who had been tense relax. Su Feihe swept around and made an open space. Everyone sat down against the trees and repaired temporarily.
After eating their own special food, drinking ice-cold drinks, and resting temporarily, Gongxia gave the order to rest for an hour. This place is still on the outskirts of the monster-dense area of Qianfo Mountain. High-level monsters are rare and relatively safe. Their target is the Light Dragon Qi Ya. The growth conditions of this kind of heaven and earth spiritual treasure are already harsh. The sunshine here is obviously not enough for it to grow, but as you continue to go up the mountain, the chance of high-level monsters appearing will be greater, the danger will be greater, and the rest time will be shorter. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust to the best condition in a relatively safe place.
Just when everyone had rested for about half an hour, suddenly, Heather and Gongxia's eyes were cast in the same direction at the same time.
Gongxia shouted loudly: "Get up, something is approaching."
With a tacit understanding, Shinan and Ma Yang took the lead in blocking Hualin and Ning Ruman, while Su Feihe, Li Han and Sukhbalu stood guard beside them, immediately. Everyone took out their weapons, including Gonsha.
The rustling sound increased from small to loud, so everyone could clearly feel how fast the unknown creature was approaching.
"Brother Shi, have you discovered what it is?" Gong Xia asked in a deep voice.
When Heather discovered the group of marmots, Gong Xia realized that Heather's spiritual consciousness was farther than everyone could observe. In fact, he didn't know that Heather was a monster that he observed with his mental power.
The spiritual power of the spiritual body realm is indeed more powerful than the consciousness of ordinary cultivators. When Shi Nan released his spiritual power, he saw a giant python that was at least ten meters long and about eighty centimeters at its thickest point. There are two half-meter-long sharp horns standing on top of its head, which look similar to ox horns.
At this time, his system panel already displayed:
Monster name: Qin Zhuo Python
Monster level: fourth level monster
Monster skills: Swallowing (swallowing the target into the belly and slowly digesting it), Squeezing (without wrapping the body around the target and squeezing it until it is unable to move), Turbid Poison (slight toxin, not fatal, but can paralyze the target)
Introduction to the monster: Adults are about 10 meters long. Their heads are broad and clearly different from their necks, and their pupils are linear. The body color of the Qin Zhuo Python is mainly black or brown. The python is good at climbing trees and usually lives in caves, making it difficult for humans to find their traces. The Qinzhuo python has a strong reproductive capacity, and the female python can lay about 10 eggs at a time.
Heather whispered: "It's a fourth-order piano python. It looks like it's grown up and is more than 10 meters long. Be careful with its mouth. It can spray a nerve-paralyzing poison. Although it is not fatal, once it is hit by the poison, it will be very serious." It may cause suffocation or broken bones after being entangled by it. This kind of monster is very aggressive, but fortunately, the Qin Zhuo Python comes out alone to look for food. It is coming in our direction, very fast!"
Gong Xia's eyes suddenly lit up: "Brother Shi, you are the encyclopedia of monsters and beasts. You are amazing. You are amazing."
There were some changes in the way everyone looked at him. You know, monsters are as strange as cultivators' martial arts. Heather can accurately judge the type and strength of the monsters they face with just her spiritual sense. You must know that this kind of monster is not mentioned in the monster awareness class, let alone the understanding of monsters by social cultivators like Gong Xia.
Heather smiled shyly and said, "I like to read information about monsters during my breaks."
This has nothing to do with whether Heather likes to read information about monsters or beasts. In fact, it is the credit of his system, but Heather will not be stupid enough to tell things about his system. However, Shi Nan did get his real skills in the culture class, so he didn't lie.
"Here we come!" At this moment, Su Feihe shouted in a low voice. He actually rushed forward with two swords in hand, without any fear that the opponent was a fourth-level monster.
It was a huge python, and its appearance was just as Heather's mental power detected. It was more than ten meters long, with a pair of sharp horns on its head. It looked a bit ferocious, and its fast-moving body was hit by Su Feihe. Su Feihe waved his two swords, and a cross sword light hit its head directly.
Qin Zhuo Python reacted very quickly. Although he rushed forward quickly, he also turned his head in a hurry. Su Feihe's blow hit it, making a muffled sound, which caused Qin Zhuo Python's forward speed to slow down a bit.
The Qin Zhuo Python seemed to be frightened. It tilted its head, opened its mouth suddenly and spat out a mouthful of gray venom towards Su Feihe. It leaned over again, and the speed that had just stagnated for a moment increased again.
Li Han shouted almost without thinking: "Be careful." The so-called concern is chaos. In a mixture of shock and anger, she immediately threw out the whip in her hand. He wrapped around Su Feihe and pulled hard, pulling Su Feihe back.
Gong Xia rushed towards Qin Zhuo Python, jumped up, and the Lingbao gloves in his hands suddenly lit up. At the same time as he jumped up, a shadow appeared behind him, like a giant flat-horned green bull that emitted a green light and crashed into the head of Qin Zhuo Python.
This phantom is the symbol of the golden elixir cultivator - the spiritual image. During the Qi training stage, cultivators can release partial spiritual energy through martial arts. During the foundation building stage, spiritual energy can cover the body like Yin Qu. After reaching the golden elixir stage, a spiritual image of oneself will appear. The cultivation method chosen when building the foundation at the beginning of the Qi training period will also determine the type and quality of the spirit statue, so every stage is very important.
Gong Xia's attack was just in time to block the Qin Zhuo Python that suddenly hated him.
"Bang!" There was a loud noise. Gong Xia groaned and stumbled back nearly ten meters, but Qin Zhuo Python's forward movement also stopped abruptly. The huge body twisted on the ground for a while, as if it was knocked unconscious by the collision. It spit out the letter and stared at everyone.
When it stopped, the cold glow of the flowers that had been prepared for a long time bloomed, and the body of the Qin Zhuo Python lying on the ground was firmly frozen.
Martial arts gathered from countless spiritual powers bombarded Qin Zhuo Python. While you were sick and could kill you, the others released all kinds of martial arts with all their strength. After all, Qin Zhuo Python is a fourth-level monster, and it is not so easy to be willing to die. Although it is temporarily unable to move, it does not completely affect its ability to spray venom.
"Be careful, don't get hit by its venom." Heather shouted, dodging a ball of gray venom, and rushed over with the vortex sword.
As the rabbit rose and the falcon fell, Heather was already standing on top of Qin Zhuo Python. He raised the vortex mark sword and thrust it in hard.
[+10] kept floating on Qin Zhuo Python's head. Looking at the numbers in front of him, Shi Nan became more confident and could not let go even if he died.
The Qin Zhuo Python twisted violently in pain, the ice began to crack, and it broke free. It swam close to the ground at an extremely fast speed. Heather stood above it, holding the vortex sword tightly.
The more Qin Zhuo Python struggles, the tighter the vortex sword is inserted, the more painful it becomes...
Seeing Qin Zhuobo struggling with his head being thrown around, everyone was sweating for Heather.
"Brother Shi, let me help you!" Gong Xia shouted, and his body suddenly jumped into the air. When he fell down again, he was already beside Shi Nan. The spiritual power gathered together and punched Qin Zhuo Python on the head. Faced with Jin Danqi's close range punch, the green and white liquid was splashed directly, and Qin Zhuo Python was killed.
Everyone cheered excitedly at the same time and ran towards Qin Zhuo Nang's head, the excitement was beyond words.
The whirlpool sword was still inserted into the head of the Qin Zhuo Python, and with a strong stroke from Heather, a fist-sized beast core flew out along with the green liquid...
