After several experiences of being entangled by monsters, Qian Chao and the other five became increasingly cautious.
For this trip to Shouwo Mountain, Qian Chao's preparations were not incomplete, but because of his shallow experience, he still ignored a very important issue. His method could make the monsters in Shouwo Mountain face to face. They couldn't see the five of them, and couldn't feel the spiritual energy fluctuations on their bodies. However, there were middle-level monsters everywhere in the Shouwo Mountain, and they had not encountered many middle-level monsters before, so they were not interested in them. These guys are quite different in terms of cognition. Only now do they understand a truth, that is, under the suppression of the grade gap, even if the other party cannot see or sense them, they can only rely on intuition. , those mid-level monsters can cause them a lot of trouble.
After all, he had said before several companions that as long as he followed him and acted according to his words in Shouwo Mountain, everything would be fine. Qian Chao did not want to break his promise, so he became more and more careful next time.
Cautiously, walking on thin ice, after experiencing the one-horned bison named Dian Kui, on the next section of the road, although the journey was a bit slower, I really didn't encounter any trouble.
But the closer they get to the center of Shouwo Mountain, and the closer they get to the big glowing tree, the more monsters they can encounter.
Finally, an embarrassing situation appeared. Just in front of a few people, Li Jian warned that there were many monsters lurking and hiding in front of the warning road, scattered on their way forward, and the distance between each other was not far. Maybe it was dangerous for the monsters. For the beasts, this is a safe distance for each other, but based on the experiences of the previous few people, it would be difficult for five people to walk among them without being noticed by them. And even if they take a detour, Li Jian has also checked that it is almost the same in other places. For the five of them, the only choice now is to walk through these important points. It is also difficult to fly through the air. The black people hovering back and forth in the air There are more and more shadows, and it will be even more troublesome if they are spotted by demonic birds flying in the air.
"I have a solution."
After Qian Chao finished speaking, he used several tricks in succession, and then a talisman flew out from his side without any light or sound.
Along the way, Qian Chao had long discovered that the monsters here were all bloodthirsty and aggressive. As long as they met each other, whether they were flying in the air or hiding among the trees, they would definitely stare with bright red eyes. Fight each other to the death. So Qian Chao used this habit of the monster to solve the predicament at hand. The talisman he just released had almost no power, but it could continuously emit fluctuations of spiritual energy. Under Li Jian's guidance, he used this talisman to get closer to those who had not yet discovered them and were lurking. The monster jumped out to lure one of them, roared and chased after it. Then, under Li Jian's guidance, he continued to use the talisman to run straight to the place where the other monster was hiding nearby. In this way, the two were almost the same. The ferocious monsters faced off against each other, and what followed was naturally an extremely fierce battle!
"Hehe, the fight is about to start!" Lu Pingchuan said excitedly when he saw it. They had almost no chance to take action in the mountain guarding the wok, and all the gains were the fisherman's profit after the snipe and clam fought. Therefore, when he saw the monster The beasts started fighting, and Lu Pingchuan was extremely happy.
But what happened next was beyond the expectations of the five people.
There were also other monsters lurking near the two monster beasts that were fighting each other. The two monster beasts who were teased by Qian Chao to meet each other changed from careful probing and roaring warnings at the beginning to ferocious madness and tearing. It only took a few breaths to bite, scratch and bite. Looking at the two fighting monsters from where Qian Chao and others were hiding, it was exactly the direction from which the white light came, so the five people could only see two of them in the white light. Huge and dark figures were violently colliding and tumbling together with each other, and the roaring sounds were constantly accompanied by the tremors of the ground. But as mentioned before, the closer you get to the towering tree that glows with white light, the more the monsters appear. As they become denser, the distance between each other becomes smaller. And after these two monsters saw blood on each other, their ferocity was completely revealed. They didn't care about other things and only cared about risking their lives with the opponent in front of them. Fighting together, stumbling, jumping and falling, chasing and running, they have invaded the territory of many other monsters. Many monsters are holding back, just waiting for the opportunity, waiting for one of them to fall. The other one also had the same chance of being injured. At that time, the mantis was hunting the cicada, and he struck again as the oriole.
Finally, a huge black shadow fell down and could no longer stand up. The other one also seemed to be faltering after letting out a satisfied roar.
Just when Qian Chao and the other five thought that they had finally opened up a way to move forward, especially Lu Pingchuan, who thought they could go over and take the dead monster into their pocket, suddenly, just when these two Near the place where the monster beasts were fighting fiercely, a thundering roar came out. Before the five people could react, another dark shadow jumped out from the white light, and immediately pounced on the previous victor. He fell to the ground, and then the frightened howl and wild roar rang out like a thunderous sound.
"Hehe, this guy is not stupid, and he knows how to wait for an opportunity to strike!" Lu Pingchuan said with some pity.
However, there were far more than just this one monster beast that howled and exploded one after another. It was just the first one to jump out in a hurry. The first two monster beasts had already been bloody due to their fierce bites. The mess was all over the ground, and the bloody aura spread, attracting countless lurking monsters in the dark and staring at them with pairs of blood-red eyes. Now both sides are finally hurt, and there are no one who knows how many monsters have already done this. Prepare, plan to get the advantage of this fisherman, but now I see that there is a monster in front of me, and the others who are coveting it are not willing to give up. After the first roar came out, there were sounds one after another from different places. Roaring, black shadows suddenly came from different directions one after another. Even in the air, there was the sound of wings flapping from far to near, and just above the bloody place on the ground, there was a demon with black wings stretched out. The birds are circling looking for opportunity.
Seeing that he had just dropped a small flame, but it was about to burn into a prairie fire. In order to prevent himself from being caught in the fire, Qian Chao cautiously and quietly retreated with a few companions, so as not to suffer the intensifying monster fight. The impact.
After retreating for a while, he looked again and felt unsafe, so Qian Chao continued to retreat with a few people, and finally came to a secret place away from the screams and howls to observe the movement secretly.
Lu Pingchuan loved watching this. Although he was far away, he stared there intently and kept commenting:
"Hey, dear, there are more than a dozen big guys fighting in a random ball. Hehe, this is really unusual!"
"Oh! That big guy actually got knocked down by a few little guys together. Alas, he grew so big in vain..."
"Hey, look, that guy looks really weird. At first glance, he looks like... well... he's pretty but not useful!"
At this time, in the sky above the place where the battle between monsters and beasts was fiercest, those monster birds hovering there also saw the opportunity and suddenly swooped down quickly. When they flew up again, their two wind-powered claws would catch A screaming and twisting monster flew up. If it passed above Qian Chao and the other five, the screams of the captured monster would still be heard from above their heads. This would be a great pity for Lu Pingchuan. He watched the demon bird fly away with the harvested prey.
"Hey, it's so cheap!"
Several people had been paying attention to the place where the monsters were fighting. Tang Ping looked at it for a while, then looked at Qian Chao for no reason, but found that Qian Chao's eyes were not on the bloody monsters at all, but on them. Staring at the big tree with white light in a daze made Tang Ping's heart move.
After entering Shouwo Mountain, Tang Ping's original passion for the Green Luan Egg slowly cooled down. What she had experienced before and what she was seeing now made her more and more suspicious that this trip to Shouwo Mountain was. Just an empty run.
"Boy Qian," Tang Ping said, "Isn't it... that our trip this time will probably be in vain?"
Hearing this, Qian Chao looked at her, smiled slightly, and said:
"Why run in vain? There must be a reason for doing things. Even if we can't find the Green Luan Egg this time, the trip to Shouwo Mountain will definitely not be in vain. Not to mention the harvest of this trip, even if It’s worth it just to gain more experience this time.”
Although he was still far away from the big glowing tree in the center, in Qian Chao's mind, there was an 80% or higher chance that the search for Qingluan's eggs at Wou Mountain would end in failure.
From Qian Chao's point of view, although he couldn't get close enough to take a closer look, the big glowing tree at the center of Shouwo Mountain was not a "sky" suitable for green Luan to lay eggs. Awesome place." In other words, the rumor that Yanxuan heard in Zongnei should be false, and it was probably spread to Yanxuan deliberately by someone as he thought before, in order to spread it to Tang Ping's ears, and then seduce him. Five people came here, and no matter who wanted to do this, it was so dangerous here, so the person who came here must have bad intentions. In other words, it was very likely that someone had already guarded the big glowing tree in advance. There, just wait for Qian Chao and the others to appear. As long as the five of them show up there or are seen from a distance, danger will come.
If this assumption is true, the five people should not be anxious now, but should pass slowly and carefully, and they should also observe carefully in advance to find out who is causing trouble behind the scenes.
It's very likely that as long as the five people don't show up, those people will have no choice but to continue waiting.
Now that Tang Ping was asking questions, Qian Chao took the opportunity to tell her everything he thought about. After all, he came to guard Wok Mountain this time for Tang Ping.
In fact, Tang Ping had already had this idea, and realized that she was too impatient this time. When she heard some rumors, she pulled a few companions to take risks with her.
"Then what should we do now?" Tang Ping asked, she had thought about quitting more than once.
"This is just a guess after all. We haven't reached the big tree yet. Since we have worked so hard to get here, we have to see what happens. Whether there are Green Luan Eggs there or if there are really people there. We are lying in wait. We have to take a look with our own eyes. Either this is not the place where Qingluan spawns at all, or we need to find out who is planning the plot here. At worst, it can prove that the rumor is false. What I mean is Let's continue to move forward, but we have to slow down and prevent possible opponents from discovering our traces. Even if it is just a sneak peek and then we leave quietly, we will know who to go to settle the score with when we think of ways to retaliate in the future. .”
Tang Ping had no objection to Qian Chao's statement, and Li Jian and Lu Pingchuan naturally didn't care either. They had spent five days looking for a way in before, so they would always feel a little unwilling if they just left like this.
Even Yanxuan, who has always been a bit timid, agreed to continue moving forward. They encountered not only monsters along the way. Along the way, in this land with rich earth spiritual energy, Yanxuan found that there were almost spiritual grasses everywhere. The quality was excellent, so she gained a lot, so even though it was dangerous here, Yanxuan felt that this time was indeed not in vain.
"A Ping," Yanxuan said, "Since you can confirm that ferocious beasts are indeed banned here, then...can you know what kind of ferocious beasts are banned?"
Because she was either in a hurry or avoiding monsters, Tang Ping had never discussed her thoughts with Qian Chao in detail. Now that the five of them were hiding here, and Yanxuan asked again, she finally remembered that she should talk to Qian Chao. After having a good talk with a few companions, Tang Ping took Yanxuan’s arm and said:
"There is no doubt that there are ferocious beasts here. I think the danger here is far more than the monsters with the blood of ferocious beasts that we have seen. Well, those are the ones..."
After saying that, Tang Ping also gestured towards the place where the black shadows were shaking continuously and the horns were screaming one after another.
"Oh, is there anything more powerful?" Lu Pingchuan became interested in this topic.
"Guess where do the bloodlines of the ferocious beasts in the many monsters here come from?" Tang Ping asked. She had the answer to this question, but she didn't have the chance to tell it all before.
"Sister Tang, didn't you say that by swallowing the flesh and blood of a ferocious beast and then refining it, you can get the bloodline of this ferocious beast?" Lu Pingchuan replied.
"Yes, this is indeed a method, but there is one biggest problem. Most of the monsters we see here are mid-level monsters. For us, the monsters here are extremely powerful, but for ferocious beasts... In other words, the monsters here are too weak. Even if the beasts are banned here by our ancestors of the Five Spirits Sect and cannot escape, the middle-level monsters here want to devour its flesh and blood, which is tantamount to Seeking death, the trapped ferocious beast is also a ferocious beast, far beyond what the ordinary mid-level monsters here can defeat."
Several people were a little confused when Tang Ping said this.
Li Jian asked:
"What could be the reason?"
Tang Ping sighed softly and said:
"Heir."
"Heir?"
"Hey, no, Sister Tang. According to the rumors we heard, only one ferocious beast was banned here, right? There seems to be no rumor that there are two or more ferocious beasts banned here. This ferocious beast must have cubs. Just a male and a female. If it’s just one, where will the offspring come from? Or are the rumors we heard false?”
Although Lu Pingchuan was rude, he often went hunting in the mountains in his early years, and he knew a lot about wild beasts. From wild beasts to ferocious beasts, some of the truths are indeed the same, which is why he said the above words.
Tang Ping said:
"Brother Lu is right. Generally, monster beasts require one female and one male to give birth to offspring. However, ferocious beasts cannot be completely ignored. There are several ferocious beasts that can indeed give birth without the reconciliation of yin and yang. Later generations, such as Pingpeng, Jiufang, Wangyue..."
Tang Ping named several ferocious beasts. The companions in front of him, except Qian Chao, all looked confused. Apparently they didn't understand what kind of monster Tang Ping was talking about, and Qian Chao had seen it before. After Tang Ping got some precious scrolls from Fairy Guhuo, he had a good memory and immediately matched the names one by one with the images on the original scrolls.
But after Tang Ping said these names, she suddenly froze.
There is one thing that Tang Ping himself ignored, that is, whether it is a monster or a monk, if it acquires the bloodline of a vicious beast, whether it has enough bloodline or it has been practiced for a long enough time, its appearance will change, and it will become worse and worse. It looks more and more like the image of the bloodline owner.
There is a legend in the spiritual world. According to legend, there is a family that secretly inherits the bloodline of a ferocious beast called "Nine Infants" from generation to generation. The children of this family, who have this bloodline, as long as they build a foundation, their bodies will become stronger. A big change will occur. Of course, you can't notice this unless you take off your robe. Eight more faces will appear on that person's chest, back, and shoulders, and these eight faces will Each has its own intelligence, and can still talk to each other, but on weekdays, it will not be discovered with eight human faces covered by robes. The reason for this is because the true body of the "Nine Infants" is none other than the Nine Heads. big snake. The ultimate achievement of this secretive family member's cultivation is to completely transform into the Nine Infants, thus adding a ferocious beast to the world that threatens the world!
This is the influence of the power of blood!
What Tang Ping was thinking about was the scene he saw in the black mist when the five people first walked through it: a two-headed black bird stretched out its wings and braved the black mist. The middle layers of lightning had to escape from the Shouwu Mountain, but in the end they were no longer able to compete with the power of thunder, and finally fell from the sky!
Two heads!
In front of Tang Ping's eyes, the two ferocious heads of the big black bird appeared again in the dazzling white lightning...
Which of the ferocious beasts has two heads and can give birth to its own offspring?
For Tang Ping, the answer is ready to come out.
Tang Ping said with an ugly face:
"I probably know what kind of ferocious beasts are banned here, and I also understand what the biggest danger we may encounter is!"
