Chapter 43 The first battle in the wild forest(1/2)
Led by Master Yuji and Jinghua Nvguan, Xiao Xiaoqi and his party successfully bypassed the battlefield and headed for the wild forest.
The wild forest is not a kind place. Wild beasts often appear. Wild beasts are monsters that are more ferocious than wild beasts. They are not only large and powerful, but some even have spiritual intelligence and are smarter than humans.
Therefore, ordinary people will not approach the wild forest easily. Even the warriors of the wild tribe who have lived next door to the wild forest for a long time only dare to wander around the outside.
As for the depths of the wild forest, only some powerful warlocks who team up with each other dare to go in and explore.
In the evening, Xiao Xiaoqi and the others finally arrived in the wild forest.
At this time, Taoist Master Yuji discerned the direction, and then said: "We are now in the west of the wild forest. We must go around to the south to meet up with other brothers."
At this time, Taoist Master Jiaxin suggested: "Fellow Taoist Yuji, anyway, when we met in the past, we formed a team. It is better for us to form a small team now. After hunting the animals and collecting medicine, we can go to find them."
Taoist Master Jiaxu next to him disagreed, "Don't act recklessly. Uncle Master and the others are still worried about our safety. We must go back to report that we are safe."
"I think Taoist Master Jiaxin's suggestion is good," Jinghua Nv Guan said, "We can collect herbs and hunt animals while heading south."
Taoist Master Yuji nodded, "Well, I think it's okay. If we find anything we need on the way, we can get it together."
"It happened that during the Manghuang Festival last year, I found a spiritual root near here," Jinghua Nvguan said, "It was just not mature at the time. I believe it is mature now. We can go and have a look."
"But it's too late today. Let's find a safe place to rest first and then set off tomorrow." Taoist Master Yuji said.
Everyone agreed.
At this time, Taoist Priest Yuji asked again, "Is this the first time that Lingqi, the little girl, has participated in the Manghuang Festival?"
"Yes, don't worry, I won't hold you back." Xiao Xiaoqi replied.
Everyone laughed. After going through the Hussars camp, no one thought that Xiao Xiaoqi would hold them back or even bring them unexpected surprises.
"You are already very powerful," Master Yuji said as he walked away, "I just want to tell you the rules of the Manghuang Festival."
"Rules?" Xiao Xiaoqi didn't understand. What are the rules?
Taoist priest Yuji explained: "The so-called rules are actually very simple. Pick herbs and leave the roots. Fierce beasts can be killed, but spiritual beasts are immortal. This means that for some very rare plants, you can pick the fruit leaves, but you need to leave the roots.
If it is a piece of medicinal herbs, some of it must be left behind. Also, we can obtain beast crystals, leather armor, etc. by hunting wild beasts, but we must not kill spiritual beasts that have developed intelligence."
This is actually easy to understand. In order to ensure future development, the three major immortal sects must do this. Otherwise, once the resources are exhausted, they will not be able to make up for it even if they want to make up for it.
"Spirit beast? How to identify it?" Xiao Xiaoqi asked.
"Spiritual beasts have certain intelligence, can often speak human words, and understand human nature. They have transcended the category of beasts and become living beings. We can take their hair, teeth, etc., but we must not kill them."
"So that's it," Xiao Xiaoqi asked again, "Does every wild beast have beast crystals in its body?"
"Not necessarily," Taoist Master Jiaxu knew more about this issue. He explained, "Beast crystals are a kind of crystallization of desolate beasts. It generally depends on what the desolate beast has eaten, where it lives, etc.
Only wild beasts that have been in contact with spiritual objects have a chance of forming low-level beast crystals."
It turns out that beast crystals are so rare. No wonder the old man with a goatee was so stingy at the time. This was just a low-level beast crystal. Wouldn't high-level beast crystals be even rarer!
Xiao Xiaoqi suddenly thought again, "Senior Brother Jiaxu, do spiritual beasts have beast crystals?"
After thinking for a while, Jia Xu said: "Spiritual beasts are often born with talent talismans, usually with beast crystals, and their grades are not low."
Let's put it this way... Xiao Xiaoqi suddenly looked at Xue Ying on his shoulder. Xue Ying should be regarded as a spiritual beast. Does it have high-level beast crystals in its body?
When Xue Ying saw Xiao Xiaoqi's probing eyes, her heart suddenly trembled. She knew exactly what Xiao Xiaoqi was thinking.
Xue Ying began to pretend to be stunned and hummed, "I am a little parrot. I can talk and talk, but I am not a spiritual beast..."
Xiao Xiaoqi thought for a while, forget it, he still wanted to keep Xue Ying to speak for him.
"Speaking of rules, I would also like to add something," Jinghua Female Crown said at this time, "Junior sister, you must remember that there are five beings in the wild forest that you cannot mess with."
"Which five?" Xiao Xiaoqi asked.
"They are the five great beast kings, they are
The Fire Mouth Crocodile King, the Gospel Bat King, the Giant Ape King, the Ice Wolf King and the Colorful Snake King!"
"Are they very powerful?" Xiao Xiaoqi was curious.
Jinghua Female Crown nodded and said: "They are very powerful. They all have powerful talent talismans and have long been wise. They are the five kings of the wild forest. If you encounter them, just run away and don't worry about anything."
"I understand." Although Xiao Xiaoqi said this, in his heart he really wanted to meet these five kings.
"Wait a minute, there's something going on ahead!" Jia Xu suddenly stopped and said.
Xiao Xiaoqi and others quieted down and quietly walked over to check the situation.
Soon, Xiao Xiaoqi saw a leopard with spikes on its back and a stone lion?
Taoist Priest Yuji also saw it, "The long-thorned one is just an armored leopard. It is more than a foot long and should be close to an adult. It seems to be hunting, but its prey is... a stone lion?"
Others were also puzzled. The armored leopard was staring at the prey in front of it, but this prey had never been seen before. Its appearance was the color of stone. If it didn't move, it would look like the stone lions placed at the door of some wealthy families.
"Don't, don't kill me, I...I don't taste good." The stone lion actually spoke.
It's a spiritual beast! Everyone has judged.
"Save or not?" Jinghua Female Crown asked.
Taoist priest Yuji said: "The armored leopard's attack power is not very strong, but that layer of iron thorns is very difficult to deal with. If we attack by force, there is no chance. Its weak point is its abdomen. If we want to save the stone lion, we must first
Set a trap."
"The abdomen? I have a way to make it lie on all fours." Xiao Xiaoqi said at this time.
"How to do it?" Master Yuji asked.
"I need senior brother to lure him here. Once he's lured, it's up to me."
Taoist Master Yuji thought for a moment and said, "Okay, maybe this armored leopard will be our first harvest."
"Junior Brother Yuhan, let's go and lure it over. Taoist fellows Jiaxu and Jiaxin will ask you to protect the female crowns of Xuanyu Sect." Taoist Master Yuji made a simple arrangement.
Everyone else nodded, and then Taoist Priest Yuji and Taoist Yuhan walked out.
"Bastard, look here!" Taoist Priest Yuji attracted the armored leopard's attention.
Seeing someone appear, the stone lion was startled that someone actually saved it.
The armored leopard turned back and stared at Taoist Yuji and Taoist Yuhan. The two humans combined were less than half its size, so it was fearless. It happened that stone lions didn't look very tasty, but human meat was much more delicious.
Already.
However, the armored leopard did not rush forward rashly, but slowly approached to look for an opportunity.
At this time, Taoist Master Yuji took the initiative to attack and flew out with his sword.
Qiang! It deserves to be called the Iron-armored Jaguar. The thorns on the outside are so hard that a sword cannot hurt it at all!
Roar! The armored leopard leapt with great speed and stepped towards the Taoist Master Yuji.
Fortunately, Taoist Master Yuji hid quickly, otherwise he would have been stepped on by this foot and would have lost half his life!
At the same time, Yu Han was assisting at the side. He swung his sword across the armored leopard. The sharp spines and the blade of the sword rubbed against each other, making a harsh sound and sparking fire, but still could not hurt the armored leopard.
The armored leopard turned to attack Taoist Yuhan, one man and one beast became entangled, but Taoist Yuhan was at a disadvantage.
"One sword breaks all laws, go!" At this time, Taoist Master Yuji hit the armored leopard's cheek with a sword light, creating a wound.
The armored leopard stared at Master Yuji fiercely. It was obvious that it was angry!
Roar! The armored leopard rushed towards Taoist Master Yuji.
Taoist Priest Yuji also started running, running towards Xiao Xiaoqi, shouting: "Junior Sister Lingqi, here we come!"
Yujidao ran very fast, and the armored leopard couldn't catch up for a while, but it found a new target, a little girl, Xiao Xiaoqi.
The armored leopard hit Xiao Xiaoqi with its spikes raised.
Xiao Xiaoqi raised the corners of his mouth, "All things grow!"
Bang! Symbols suddenly appeared under the armored leopard...
No matter how stupid the armored leopard was, he knew there was a problem and stopped quickly, but it was already too late.
Huge vines slammed into the armored leopard's belly from underneath, and then the armored leopard was overturned by the vines growing out from underneath.
Although the armored leopard's spikes are very powerful in terms of attack and defense, once they are knocked over and they want to get up again, they become a hindrance.
"Bound!"
More than a dozen tree roots rise from the ground
It was born and tied up the four legs of the armored leopard, leaving its abdomen temporarily exposed.
"Senior Brother Jiaxin!" Xiao Xiaoqi shouted.
"Here we come!" Jia Xin jumped up high, then threw four flying knives and hit the exposed belly of the armored leopard.
Roar! The armored leopard screamed in pain, and with a strong force, it tore off the roots of the tree, and then got up again.
The armored leopard did not attack anyone after getting up, but ran away. This was its instinctive reaction.
Xiao Xiaoqi and others just watched and did not stop it from running...
Bang! The armored leopard ran out less than three feet before its belly exploded. Jia Xin's four flying knives were talisman weapons and would explode. That's why Xiao Xiaoqi and the others were so calm.
Sometimes Xiao Xiaoqi also envies the Fu Qi Sect because he has a lot of talismans on his body.
