After daybreak, it was the fourth day after entering Broken Heart Valley. Qian Chao and the five people walked out of the hiding place early. The five people took another look at the place where Yan Hao Raccoon was trapped last night. The ground was burnt. At that time, they The trees near the hiding place were on fire. After catching the flame raccoon dog, the nearby fire was extinguished. Looking at it after dawn, many nearby trees were burned, black and bare.
In the past three days, Qian Chao and the five men took Zhang Yi, seventeen men, and the more secretive Shangguan Hong all the way to the depths of Broken Heart Valley. Although the speed was not fast, after all, it took three days It has passed. The place they are now can no longer be considered as the outskirts of Broken Heart Valley, or at least it is deeper into the outskirts. Starting from the fourth day, the monsters and beasts they will see and encounter as they move forward are There are obviously more.
Also starting from this fourth day, Qian Chao and the other five began to adopt a different attitude towards the monsters and beasts they encountered on the road than in the past. To put it simply, they dealt with monsters much more often today than before. Whenever they encounter a monster that blocks their way or a monster that pounces upon the five of them after discovering the five of them, Zhang Yi and the others will see Qian Chao deploying formations to deal with the monster. Of course, , similar to yesterday's situation where Qian Chao dealt with four or five monsters at once, has never happened again.
Before yesterday evening, the scene where Qian Chao dealt with four or five mid-level monsters at once shocked Zhang Yi and others. Since these people came to deal with Qian Chao and the five people, they all inquired about those five people after they came. In this situation, our understanding of Qian Chao basically rests on the fact that this person is smart and cunning, proficient in weapon refining, and also proficient in the art of talismans and formations. But the strangest thing is that Qian Chao has no disciples in the Wuling Sect. .
It is true that Wuling Sect is a famous large sect in Central Continent, but is it so miraculous that it can be done without a master?
A qi-refining disciple in the sect who has no previous masters can actually deal with several mid-level monsters with the help of formation techniques?
It shouldn't be. If all the disciples of the Wuling Sect have strong means to deal with the five people like Qian Chao, why don't Zhang Yi and Zong Xiang find someone in the Wuling Sect? Even if they don't have to use the temptation, The remuneration is only due to their status as big dudes, so there are many people in the Wuling Sect who are willing to serve them. Looking at it this way, it seems that people like Qian Chao are rare in the Wuling Sect, or they are the only one. Zhang Yizong couldn't find suitable manpower to deal with him in the sect, so he tried to find a way from outside.
The shock of Qian Chao's methods subsided after a night's rest. With what they saw and heard on the fourth day, these people gradually began to adapt to Qian Chao's methods. What they have to deal with on this trip is Qian Chao, so Almost everyone has inevitably thought about what they would do if they were faced with the money tide. These people have different methods. If they are asked to crack the money tide's formation, I am afraid no one except Woodham can do it, but they can also do it. They all found that Qian Chao's formation must be arranged on the ground. Although the formation was powerful, he could always be seen when he set up the formation. As long as he was careful when dealing with him, once he set up the formation, he would Either in the air or if you don't step in, it should be fine. After thinking about it more often, these people's worries have gone away a lot and they have stabilized again.
Of course, the ups and downs in the mentality of these people are not the point. The point is that the fourth day is a turning point, because many accidents happened on this day.
The first accident happened near noon that day. From the morning to this time, several unlucky mid-level monsters had been stuffed into his storage bag by Lu Pingchuan with a smile. Moving forward, there were It is not a very high cliff. There are many twisted trees or vines growing on the rugged stone walls. There are also nests built by demonic birds on the stone walls.
When Qian Chao and the other five people passed by here, they did not find a demon bird's nest on the stone wall. This is a forbidden area. All demon beasts and demon birds must be on guard against being discovered by other guys when building their nests. Therefore, their nests They are all relatively secretive. It is not necessary for the five of them to pass under the cliff, but they are not very far from the stone wall of the cliff. The nest on the stone wall must have been empty when they passed by, so they did not see any monsters on it. In the bird's nest, Li Jian did not sense any demonic birds hidden on the stone wall, but he sensed other things and immediately alerted his four companions.
Behind the tangled vines on the stone wall, there was a monster lurking there. Under Li Jian's guidance, several people finally saw the guy clearly. To put it simply, it was like a secret ambush under the vines. He was carrying a big lynx. This guy was not very big. He was only about less than five feet long without the tail. The gray fur was covered with iron-black stripes. Even if the fur was exposed to the stone wall for a while, It is also difficult to detect. Its head looks like a large civet cat, with two ears standing straight up, and a tuft of black hair standing on the tips of the ears.
As the spirit-controlling monk among the five, Tang Ping immediately recognized what kind of monster that guy was after seeing it clearly:
"That's a giant-mouthed lynx, also called a mountain-climbing cat. It's the best at climbing and jumping. It's said that it can fall from any height without getting hurt. Look at its mouth. It can open its mouth very wide. The corners of its mouth are... They are split right below the ears. When fully opened, it is said that it can swallow things bigger than your own head. You can usually find it in places where monster birds are found. This guy may not be able to gain advantage in a fight with other monsters. , but the only way to deal with the demon bird is to suddenly jump out from the middle of the mountain in the air and bite the vital part of the flying demon bird. It has no big teeth in its mouth, but is densely packed with sharp teeth. As long as it is bitten, it will drop again. , no monster bird can withstand it, well, and the book says that guy's skin is a very good material for refining weapons, and, boy Qian, have you seen the two tufts of black hair on the tips of its ears? That's Great stuff for pen making.”
When Tang Ping said this, Lu Pingchuan didn't hear it very clearly. He only knew that the guy hiding on the mountain wall seemed to be some kind of big-mouthed cat that couldn't be killed. But when he heard that the guy's skin was very good, he became energetic. , immediately said:
"Since it's a good piece of cake, Brother Qian, it's better to collect it at the event."
After entering the forbidden area several times, Qian Chao deliberately collected materials for refining magic weapons and kept them for future use in foundation building. Originally, he heard that the skin of the giant-mouthed lynx was a good material for refining weapons. Qian Chao was moved, and became even more tempted after hearing that the black hairs on the guy's ears were good for making pens. Coupled with Lu Pingchuan's instigation, Qian Chao was ready to capture the giant-mouthed lynx.
To them, this is just a common thing in the forbidden area.
The formation was quickly set up. The next step was to lure the giant-mouthed lynx over. This time Lu Pingchuan didn't let Qian Chao take action. He looked around and picked up a large stone from the ground and said, "You Come here." He raised one arm, and with a roar, the stone flew towards the lurking giant-mouthed lynx.
It must be said that this giant-mouthed lynx did not notice Qian Chao and the others at first. The reason why it lurked there was precisely because there was a demon bird's nest nearby. It was waiting, and when the demon bird returned, it suddenly and unexpectedly Attack, the giant-mouthed lynx has always hunted monster birds like this, but just when it was hiding behind the vines and waiting with squinted eyes, suddenly its eyes widened and its figure quickly retreated, and immediately there was a "pop" sound, and a stone fell in Its head and face were smashed into pieces where it was just lying down, and the rocks splashed on its head. Immediately, a loud shout was heard from below:
"Hey, big cat, come here!"
Of course, the giant-mouthed lynx could not understand what Lu Pingchuan was shouting, but it was deeply angered. The reason is simple. Any powerful being would feel offended when provoked by someone weaker than it, let alone Lu Pingchuan. Not only was he verbally provocative, but he also threw a big rock at the giant lynx, but this time Lu Pingchuan lost his aim and missed the target.
With a loud roar of "Ouch", the figure of the giant-mouthed lynx jumped towards Lu Pingchuan from the stone wall like a black lightning bolt. Its big mouth was completely split. As expected, just as Tang Ping said, the corners of its mouth were almost It was cracked below the ears, and its mouth was densely packed with intertwined sharp teeth. It was angered by Lu Pingchuan. Not only Lu Pingchuan, it had to bite these guys to death one by one to satisfy its hatred!
And just when the giant-mouthed lynx swooped down from above, Li Jian's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately turned to look at another place in the sky.
Two big birds appeared in the sky, and then two shrill chirps were heard. Li Jian suddenly felt something bad. At this moment, there was a bang next to him, and a black shadow fell heavily next to Lu Pingchuan.
"Hey, I caught it!" Lu Pingchuan shouted happily.
"Brother Qian, be careful, you monster!" Li Jian said immediately.
After hearing this, several people looked up into the air.
The two monster birds were not very big, with a wingspan of only six or seven feet. Their wings were made of long black and blue feathers, and their abdomens were made of soft white feathers. For some reason, Li Jian sensed these two big birds immediately. He was full of anger and hatred towards the following people, especially Lu Pingchuan, which puzzled him.
Immediately, Tang Ping recognized the two big birds, her expression suddenly changed, and she immediately said:
"Thunder Bird! Boy Qian, your formation can't handle it..."
As soon as he said this, Li Jian suddenly lunged forward and rolled Lu Pingchuan away with him. In an instant, a thick blue and white lightning snaked down from the sky at high speed. , hitting the place where Lu Pingchuan was standing just now, with a "click" sound, earth and rocks flew suddenly, and a large pit appeared on the ground.
And at this moment, a big bird swooped down and spit out lightning. It flapped its wings again and flew up, while another big bird was swooping down.
There is no need for Tang Ping to explain anymore. That kind of demon bird is called Thunderbird. It is a demon bird that can use thunder and lightning to attack opponents from a distance. There are very few low-level demon birds that can use magic means. There are quite a few among the mid-level monster birds that can use spells, and the Thunderbird is a very powerful existence among them. Of course, for monster beasts and monster birds, the so-called spells are just their natural instincts. For example, the same was true for the flaming raccoon dog last night.
Just a moment ago, when Lu Pingchuan threw the second stone at the giant-mouthed lynx on the stone wall, the Thunderbird had already flown back. If Qian Chao and the others had not taken advantage of the giant-mouthed lynx, maybe they could have seen the giant-mouthed lynx. The scene of the giant-mouthed lynx sneaking up on the Thunderbird, but Lu Pingchuan’s first big rock foiled the Giant-mouthed Lynx’s plan, and his second big rock made the Thunderbird flying back in the air suddenly become furious, because that A big rock is hitting their nest!
Well, as I said just now, Lu Pingchuan's hands were slippery, and he missed the second stone he threw, but it hit it squarely into the Thunderbird's nest!
The second Thunderbird also swooped down at high speed, opening its beak directly at Li Jian and Lu Pingchuan who were tumbling below. If you look closely, you can see that the lightning is not sprayed directly from its mouth, but First, many bright threads like winding snakes are produced through the two wings. All the bright threads are gathered on the head of the Thunderbird, that is, in its pointed beak. The blue and white color there is dazzling, and then with a sharp sound screamed, and a thick bolt of lightning struck down instantly!
"Money boy!"
Tang Ping almost screamed. What Qian Chao had just deployed to deal with the giant-mouthed lynx was still the spirit-locking formation. This formation was indeed miraculous against the giant-mouthed lynx. The giant-mouthed lynx was now lying there half dead and unable to move. , and it is very difficult to deal with the Thunderbird that can spit lightning in the air. Should we expect that the Thunderbird, which can kill the opponent from a distance, will fall to the ground and obediently enter Qian Chao's Soul Locking Formation to die? Moreover, out of her familiarity with Qian Chao, Tang Ping also knew that those of Qian Chao's formations that could deal with flying birds could only be effective if they were arranged in the right position in advance. But now not only did the incident happen suddenly, but Li Jian and Lu Pingchuan are still in a huge crisis...
With a "click", the thick blue and white electric snake fell to the ground again. This time it was all thanks to Li Jian's sensing power. He sensed where the Thunderbird's second blow would hit, and desperately led Lu Pingchuan Rolling over, narrowly avoiding the direct strike of lightning. But they didn't completely escape. This time, the second Thunderbird's blow didn't create a crater in the ground. Instead, the electric current spread like a snake on the ground. Of course, it affected them. Although they escaped a certain distance, Li Jian still felt numb all over, with one arm and one leg almost unable to move, but Lu Pingchuan was even worse. He was shaking all over due to the electric shock, his eyes rolled white, and he was mumbling. He didn't know whether he was talking or not. Scream!
…
Zhang Yi and his party, including Shangguan Hong, were also stunned by this scene. Everyone had a thought from the bottom of their hearts. Could it be that Qian Chao and others would be confessed to Broken Heart Valley this time?
