"Tick-tock——"
A drop of full rain fell on the dry turtle's back.
Splashes of water burst out.
The drizzle of rain that followed covered the entire lake with a thin layer of water vapor.
Not a moment.
A heavy rain poured down, accompanied by dull thunder and blue thunder slurry surging in the dark clouds.
Yun He, who was bathed in the rain, raised his head, looked at the dark cloudy sky, and pursed his lips.
'This rain came a bit suddenly...'
It was nice to be basking in the sun, but then the rain started to fall.
Push yourself up.
'Forget it, just think it's time to eat. '
With this thought in mind, I walked towards the lake step by step with steady steps.
'Um? '
Halfway there, he suddenly froze and turned to look behind him.
The hazy water vapor not only made the lake surface illusory, but also reduced the visibility of the island around the lake below him and the lush woods behind the island.
But for some reason, he felt like something was happening in the woods on a whim.
The first time he felt this way was when he found the "Bloody Lotus" that had not yet fully formed.
Yunhe calls this inexplicable feeling "the intuition of a beast."
'Could another spiritual plant be born? Or...treasure? '
Chu hesitated in place for a moment.
He turned around and walked towards the dense forest that he had never set foot in before.
'Dangerous, but should be controllable. '
He always maintains the habit of restraining his demon power, so that he is not very conspicuous.
A turtle monster at the early stage of the first level and an ordinary turtle that looks just big. It must be that the turtle as a monster is more likely to attract attention and arouse hostility.
'Look at it from a distance, don't get involved in the fight, leave when there is danger, and don't leave the water too far...'
Step by step, we followed the winding path and slowly climbed to the other side of the island around the lake, into the vast and unknown woods.
Yunhe was careful in every step he took.
Once you find that something is wrong or something unexpected happens, you shrink into your turtle shell and try to hide in the water.
As long as he can hide in the water, most creatures on land, even mid-first-order or even late-first-order monsters, may not be able to find him.
This is also one of his confidence.
"Bang-bang-bang-"
When Yunhe left Huanhu Island and came to the forest, he vaguely heard a dull sound.
'Is this... the sound of fighting? No, more like the sound of something slapping against the ground or some solid object. '
There is movement.
It means that some monsters may have arrived first.
Yun He suddenly wanted to quit.
Whoosh——
But the next moment, a figure flashed from the trees not far from him.
Although the other party was very fast, Yun He could still see the other party's appearance clearly.
'A badger? There is no concealment of the demonic power on his body... He is an early-stage first-order badger-like demonic beast. '
Because his demonic power was restrained, the badger didn't notice him.
'It seems I'm not the only one who noticed something strange here. '
Since this monster badger didn't notice him, it meant that there was a high probability that other monsters wouldn't care about a large but non-threatening turtle.
And, most importantly.
With a badger to help him explore the way, even if he finds something wrong, he will still have his back.
Gradually, Yun He finally saw the source of the sound clearly.
I saw a dark cave in the dense woods.
Outside the cave, it was raining heavily.
A huge python with dark brown fine scales was violently beating the ground and rock wall with various parts of its body.
While a large number of rock fragments were ejected, a dull sound was also produced.
'It turns out that the python is shedding its skin. '
But soon Yunhe's eyes narrowed.
'No, it's improving! This is the critical moment to break through from the early stage of the first stage to the middle stage of the first stage! '
and.
He also noticed.
Surrounding the giant python are a large number of smaller snakes.
They spit out snake messages and watch out for the surrounding areas.
Following the line of sight of these ordinary snakes, Yun He discovered a few more figures.
'That badger, a red-tailed fox, and... a feathered falcon? '
'The three early-stage first-order monsters are all staring at this giant python that is about to transform into the mid-stage first-order. It seems that I am planning to pick it up when it has just been promoted and is in the weak stage of molting. '
This situation is not uncommon in the world of monsters.
In fact, this is not only true in the world of monsters and beasts, but also in the world of immortality.
Therefore, whenever there is a breakthrough in cultivation, most monks or monsters will hide in a relatively safe place.
However, the IQ of low-level monsters may not be that high.
Or maybe this python's breakthrough was sudden.
But anyway, the current situation is not very friendly to it.
Yun He, who was hiding under the leafy shrubs, quietly watched the scene in front of him.
The rising water vapor and the diffuse earthy smell covered his whereabouts well.
The hidden demonic power also prevented him from attracting the attention of any demonic beast or even snake.
Tear--
It was like the sound of tearing silk.
A nearly transparent snake skin fell off the python.
The blood stuck between the new scales was washed away by the rain and became more shiny and bright.
But also more vulnerable.
'It worked. '
Yunhe, the cat hiding under the bushes, nodded.
But for Python, success is just the beginning of this disaster.
as expected.
As the old skin faded away, the python's aura suddenly surged and after only three breaths, it suddenly fell to the bottom.
"hiss--!!"
The giant python obviously also understood its current state. Facing these three "neighbors" who coveted it, it roared with anger and anger.
Accompanied by its roar, one after another "hissing" sounds suddenly appeared.
The snakes around me were extremely agitated.
However, facing the roar of the giant python, the three monster beasts were not scared away.
As neighbors, they instinctively know that if the pythons are allowed to survive today smoothly, their subsequent territory may not be preserved.
Territory represents resources, and this struggle is destined to break out as the python breaks through.
This is not only a mistake, but also for self-protection.
So, it’s better to kill it while it’s weak now!
Moreover, today's giant python is a genuine mid-level first-order monster. If you can bite off a large piece of meat from it, or even swallow its snake gallbladder, it will be of great benefit to any early-stage first-order monster. it goes without saying.
'coming! '
As Yun He drank deeply in his heart.
The first person who couldn't hold himself back was the badger that had flashed past him earlier.
The badger, whose body was grey-brown except for a white stripe on its back, was the first to rush out of the bushes.
Badgers themselves are beasts that regard snakes as food, especially after they become monsters.
Therefore, it has the greatest conflict with the snake group, and is the least likely to see the giant python break through.
It grabbed a small snake that was jumping towards it and bit it off.
The tongue accurately and skillfully picked out the snake gall and swallowed it.
Continuously slapping its paws, two more snakes that tried to block it were swatted away.
Seeing the badger take action, the other two monsters couldn't hold themselves back.
Phew——! !
Loud and long.
The feathered falcon standing on the treetop retracted its wings and flew straight towards the giant python like an arrow piercing the sky.
The last one comes first!
boom! boom! !
In just the blink of an eye, the extremely sharp beak of the feathered falcon collided with the strong body of the giant python.
The badger that followed followed with an even more tricky attack angle, aiming at the tail of the python.
One bite and your skin will burst open!
"hiss!!!"
The pained python's muscles tightened all over its body, like a thick whip, sweeping out.
While the badger was shot away, the feathered falcon was unable to get close for a while.
'This guy......'
But Yunhe's attention at the moment was on the red-tailed fox.
This red-tailed fox is quite cunning.
The sound of the call was no weaker than that of badgers and feathered falcons, but the force produced was almost the same.
He just wandered around the python, occasionally dealing with a few inconspicuous little snakes.
He has no intention of getting involved in the fight.
At most, he would just run up to the giant python, show off his presence, and stimulate the badger and feathered falcon.
obviously.
This guy is planning to make a profit when the three monsters fight to the end.
At the worst, you can guarantee your own status, take advantage of the situation, and either run away or add insult to injury.
There are also smart ones among the low-level monsters.
But.
'If you don't come in, are you sure you can beat them with just those two? '
the most important is.
It wants to be a fisherman, so what should Yunhe do?
Therefore, Yun He's eyes rolled around as he stared at the red-tailed fox.
He found the right opportunity for the red-furred fox to fish in troubled waters and pretend to attack.
Just as the red-tailed fox trotted up to the giant python and bared its teeth, showing off its presence, it was also an opportunity to induce the badgers and feathered falcons to attack.
Whoosh——
In the pouring rain, an arrow completely condensed by the water flow shot from behind the red-tailed fox.
Brushing the edge of its hair, he accurately shot the python's body.
It turned out that the giant python, which had broken through to the middle stage of the first level and had once again grown in intelligence, had more or less seen the intention of the red-tailed fox.
It also enjoys this.
The three demonic beasts that besieged it looked alike but had different hearts. This was its vitality.
Who would have thought that this red-tailed fox, which had been paddling for a long time, would suddenly shoot a cold arrow!
A surge of anger quickly rose from the bottom of the python's heart.
The most annoying thing is actually not the enemies that have been besieging you.
Because the giant pythons knew their purpose from the beginning, it was a life-or-death battle between the two sides.
The giant python, which has grown to a mid-level first-level monster, is already familiar with this method of survival.
What really makes people angry are "villains" like red-tailed foxes.
Whether to fight or not, I just think that when it doesn't fight, it will plot against it.
Originally, the python might have had a chance to survive, but it was lost due to the "entry" and "sneak attack" of the red-tailed fox.
How can it face three monster beasts when it is weak?
Breaking away from the angry giant python, its ferocious vertical eyes locked tightly on the red-tailed fox.
Even if it is really going to be in trouble this time, it still has to be dragged into the water!
Previously it might have considered a hawk or a badger.
Now...
Red tail fox!
But in fact, the red-tailed fox is more confused than the giant python.
It stared at its narrow eyes, full of disbelief.
what's the situation?
It just wants to paddle in the water and doesn't want to end now.
But before it could figure it out, it was greeted by the python's sharp, angry eyes.
There was a sudden tremor, and the hair on his back stood up.
"Woo!!"
Not me!
It’s really not me!
No matter how cunning and clever it is, it is impossible for a fox to control the water flow.
The problem lies behind!
But it didn't have the chance to look behind it.
In fact, even if it looked back, it would only see dense shrubs, hazy water vapor and plowed ground, but no trace of Yun He.
Because Yun He was already hiding underground at this moment.
"hiss!!!"
boom! !
