Chapter 78 Green Gold Wolf Beast
That night, nothing happened.
There are no monsters coming out of nowhere, and there are no strange and shrill screams.
This time, Su Zi practiced peacefully until dawn. When the sun rose and the water vapor on the stone ground had almost evaporated, he moved the Zhu Ming Vine fruit, which had become wilted in the sun, outside to dry in the sun. At the same time, in order to prevent any wild animals from looking for him while he was away, he specially prepared some extremely pungent medicine and sprinkled it on the surrounding ground. These smells were quite disgusting to ordinary monsters and wild animals.
When all these things were done, Su Ziyi carried a water bag and food on his back, and walked deeper into the mountain with a green horn knife in his hand.
Perhaps because this time he really stepped into the area where monsters live, Su Ziyi discovered traces of monsters not long after entering the mountain. But he didn't lean over, he just stood and took a look from a distance, because it was a first-order monster, and it was of no use to him at this stage, and the parts of it that could be used to make elixirs or medicines were not there. Not much, and there are even better alternatives.
To kill it? Not worth it.
Later, Su Ziyi found several traces left by monsters in the forest, but those traces were too vague, making it difficult for Su Ziyi to determine what kind of monster the other party was. However, this also allowed Su Ziyi to completely confirm that this mountain forest is not as harmless as Bian Qing and Old Doctor Li said. It is just that for unknown reasons, these monsters have not yet invaded Luoshan Village on a large scale. direction to go.
But even so, we have to guard against it.
With suspicion in mind, Su Ziyi's attitude became more serious. He was not as arrogant as before. Instead, he used tree trunks and leaves to hide his figure. He only occasionally collected the medicinal herbs and spiritual herbs that he liked, and carefully groped in this dangerous forest.
But not long after, a faint smell of blood blew into his nose along the wind, causing him to stop in place instantly. He moved his nose and sniffed the air, and then locked in a direction. He did not dare to be careless, and was even more careful than before, and slowly moved towards the direction where the smell of blood came from.
The distance was not far, and Su Ziyi found the place within a few turns.
The place is still in the woods, just stuck between two big trees. However, except for the blood-red puddle on the ground, there were no other living creatures there. After Su Ziyi released his consciousness, he did not find any other monsters. This made him slightly lower his guard and approached, but As soon as they passed by, they saw only a bloody monster corpse.
——It's Quanran.
Only half of the dog's body was left now, and the other half was missing. Su Ziyi speculated that it was directly swallowed by the other party. Because the wound section on Quanran's body was very smooth, it seemed as if a strong force had directly divided the opponent into two halves. Moreover, there were not many traces of fighting around, only some bushes had been stepped on, which made Su Ziyi have to guess that this was caused by a monster that was far more powerful than the dog.
Also, it seems that the other party does not hunt for food, but does this for fun?
——Otherwise, it would be impossible to have half of it left.
Such speculation made Su Ziyi feel a little heavy, and then his actions became more cautious. However, I don't know if I was destined to meet him today. When the sun was high in the sky, Su Ziyi found another dog's body quite far away from before, and this time, it was headless.
This also completely confirmed Su Ziyi's guess that the other party killed the dog not for food, but for its despicable pleasure.
Different from last time, this time the murderer left other traces here. Su Ziyi looked at the deep claw marks on a pine tree in front of him and frowned fiercely.
——It looks like it will be difficult to deal with.
Standing on the spot and searching carefully, after confirming that no other clues could be found, Su Ziyi loosened his tightly pursed lips, raised his head and glanced at the trampled bushes in front of him, without looking back. Foot stepped in.
Places with monsters are naturally different from places nearby. Along the way, Su Ziyi didn't see any wild animals. He didn't even see any snakes, which are the most common in the jungle, let alone rabbits and pheasants. However, he did see a few scattered dogs. The corpse made Su Ziyi seriously doubt whether the other party had picked up a whole litter of dogs at once.
"Ouch -"
Just when Su Ziyi was lost in thought about these things, a sudden loud roar came from a little distance away. This made Su Ziyi's eyes light up, and he immediately ran in that direction. Fortunately, the other party was in high spirits and did not shut up after howling. Instead, he howled one after another.
As for Su Ziyi, when the sound got closer and closer, he began to slow down. Because judging from the intensity of the sound and the claw marks left by the previous opponent, the opponent must not be a fuel-efficient lamp, so it is better to be careful.
He quickly adjusted his breathing, and his steps became light and ghostly. When passing through the bushes, he didn't even make any sound. He hid his whole body in the shadow of the woods and quietly leaned over there. . As we got closer, a huge "rumbling" sound of water came over, which sounded like a waterfall.
This made Su Ziyi feel a little nervous.
Because from the sound of water flowing, we can deduce how huge the volume of water is, but the sound of the monster is not covered by the "rumbling" sound of the waterfall at all. On the contrary, it travels farther than the sound of the waterfall! This was enough to prove how loud the other party's roar was, which made Su Ziyi feel anxious, thinking about the strength of the other party.
And where there is water, living creatures tend to stay. So how many monsters are there at this water source? Was it really the only one he heard?
Full of questions in his heart, Su Ziyi gradually approached the direction of the waterfall. When there was a gap in the scenery in front of him, the bright blue sky penetrated into Su Ziyi's field of vision like a white light at night, interrupting all Su Ziyi's thoughts.
arrive.
Although it was still a little far away, a corner of the waterfall had already fallen into Su Ziyi's eyes. The loud "rumbling, booming" sound was even more shocking, and the smell of water vapor lingered on the tip of his nose.
"Ouch——"
Even though the sound of the waterfall is very shocking, this monster cannot be underestimated. Its howl stimulated Su Ziyi as if a loudspeaker playing heavy metal rock was suddenly moved to his ears, making him jump uncontrollably! The performance of the waterfall directly opposite to the roar was even more direct. The waterfall, which was originally like a thick curtain of water, was directly shaken out of a large hole, and the thick water column splashed several meters high!
Oh my god, what kind of monster is this? !
Su Ziyi squatted on the ground and rubbed his ears, and it took him a while to recover. He didn't dare to get too close, because as soon as he heard the voice, he knew that the opponent's strength was definitely far superior to his, and he might be dead in one face-to-face encounter. But he was a little unwilling to let him leave like this, because he didn't even know what kind of monster the other party was!
So, go or stay?
Su Ziyi, who was hiding behind the tree, gritted his teeth, but in the end was still unwilling to just retreat.
He stepped back, took some detours, and sneaked towards the source of the waterfall. When the other party roared just now, he guessed that there should be a gentle area under the waterfall, and the monster beast should be there. Once he reached the end of the waterfall, with the help of the water vapor and the loud noise of the waterfall, If the sound is heard, the chance of being discovered by monsters should be much lower.
Perhaps his move really worked. When Su Ziyi finally reached the end of the waterfall and climbed onto a tree branch near the periphery, he had an unobstructed view of the entire waterfall.
But when he really saw what was below, he couldn't help but gasp.
Su Ziyi has seen a lot of natural scenery, and the majestic waterfall Su Ziyi is not uncommon on the earth, but none of the ones he has seen before can compare with the one in front of him. At a glance, the width of the waterfall in front of me is at least sixty feet, and it is connected to a wide, fast and clear river. The river is full of protruding rocks, which looks wet and slippery.
The waterfall does not only have one main waterfall, but it is divided into four waterfalls under the uppermost main waterfall. The drop of each waterfall is at least nine feet! Su Ziyi casually estimated that this waterfall is at least ninety feet high! This was simply a magnificent view he had never seen before! Of course, there may be better ones in uninhabited places in America, but Su Ziyi has never seen them.
It's just that this seemingly spectacular waterfall, in Su Ziyi's eyes, is far less impressive than the monster standing on the big rock in the river below the waterfall!
Ever since he was born, Su Ziyi had never seen such a huge and beautiful animal.
Yes, beautiful.
Although they were far apart, because the opponent was huge and Su Ziyi was a practitioner, he could still see the opponent clearly without any effort. The monster in front of me is at least five feet long and three feet tall. It has green hair. Under the sunlight, these hairs emit sparkling golden light and look like extremely gorgeous silk and satin. Its appearance is very similar to that of a wolf, but when it lowers its back body, puts its two front legs on the highest point of the stone, and looks directly at the direction of the waterfall, it gives people the feeling of seeing an "emperor".
This is -
Su Ziyi's body was shaking a little, the palms of his hands holding the tree trunk were full of sweat, and he swallowed mouthfuls of saliva.
——This is the fifth-level monster...
——Compared to the fifth-order monster of the monks in the middle stage of foundation building, the green-gold wolf beast.
The green-gold wolf beast under the waterfall was still roaring up to the sky, and its white fangs flashed coldly in the sun. One look at it and it was clear that it was a tyrannical master. Su Ziyi did not dare to step forward. He had completely integrated himself into the surrounding environment, making it difficult for ordinary monks and monsters to find his position.
But Su Ziyi knew that his move was of no use to the green-gold wolf beast below. As long as the opponent wanted to, he could find his position with almost no effort.
But, this is the only thing he can do now.
At this time, Su Ziyi felt extremely regretful. On the way here, Su Ziyi had imagined that the opponent would be a third-order or even fourth-order monster, but he never thought that it would be a fifth-order monster! This was an existence that he couldn't approach at all. Even if they were so far away, and even if the other party didn't mean it, the heavy pressure on the other party made Su Ziyi a little frightened, and even his legs fell uncontrollably.
He must leave.
Taking a deep breath, Su Ziyi clarified his current situation. He knew that he had to escape before the green-gold wolf beast had enough trouble. If he waited until the other party had enough trouble, he would really have no way to escape.
He thought this in his heart and was ready to do this.
But just as his right foot moved a small inch to the side, suddenly the green-gold wolf beast below moved! This frightened Su Ziyi's face to change instantly. He subconsciously moved his feet back and pressed his body tightly against the tree trunk. Looking at the green and golden wolf jumping up on the mountain below the waterfall, his heart almost burst from his chest. Jumped out!
No, it shouldn't have been discovered so easily.
At this time, Su Ziyi's mind was completely blank except for this one thought. He looked at the green and golden wolf beast that was getting closer and closer. He couldn't think of any idea of escape. He could only stand there in despair, honestly. Waiting for the green gold wolf beast to take his life!
But I never thought that when the green gold wolf beast jumped to the top of the waterfall, it did not come towards Su Ziyi. It just had an obvious playful look in its eyes, and then like a teasing child, it let out a shocking sound towards Su Ziyi. Roar! The moment Su Ziyi saw it opening its mouth, he immediately closed his eyes and used his spiritual energy to protect his ears.
He only had one thought in his mind
- this green-gold wolf beast had discovered his existence a long time ago!
It's just because the difference in strength between the two sides is so big that the other side has never cared about him. But now that it's here, it even thinks that it can crush itself with just a random roar!
Before Su Ziyi could think any more, an extremely powerful wind rushed over with a roar that could make a person's internal organs bleed! This roar was like an invisible hurricane, devastating the big trees around Su Ziyi's hiding place, making bursts of "crack" sounds, and the tree trunks as thick as a child's waist were completely broken off! Su Ziyi, who was unable to hold on to the tree trunk due to the strong wind, had to let go in the end, and his whole body floated back like a rag sack! Then his back directly hit the trunk of a big tree behind him, and his brain was swept away by the trunk that was also blowing from the front. He spat out a mouthful of blood, his vision went black, and he fainted completely.
But the green gold wolf beast that caused all this tragedy only bared its teeth and glanced at Su Ziyi with some disdain. Then he threw these as boring games behind his mind and jumped into the rapid river. On another big rock among them. Its eyes shone with excitement, and a string of saliva formed in its mouth -
it smelled the smell of delicious food ahead.
It, I really want to eat it, I really want to eat it.
After all, it has been hungry for a long time.
Chapter 79: Self-rescue after disaster
cold.
pain.
Uncomfortable.
Feeling like vomiting.
In a daze, Su Ziyi felt that his brain was as muddy as a jar of thick paste, which made him almost nauseous, but he couldn't do anything, so he could only let the nausea stay in the bottom of his stomach to torture himself. Such an absurd feeling made him twist slightly on the ground like an insect, with a ferocious look on his pale face.
What's wrong with me?
The moment he regained consciousness, Su Ziyi's mind did not clear up. Instead, the severe pain in his body came first. Stimulated by severe pain all over his body, Su Ziyi regained his consciousness little by little, but at this time, there was no part of his body that was not in pain, especially his brain and back, where there were bursts of dull pain that could not be touched. Dare to touch it, it directly suppressed his other thoughts.
Hiss, I'm afraid I'm going to die.
Such thoughts swirled around in Su Ziyi's mind, and the stimulation made his mind become much clearer in an instant. He couldn't die. He had promised Bian Qing that he would go back alive.
Yes, live and go back.
Under this inner suggestion, after a long time, Su Ziyi, who was lying on the ground, opened his eyes slightly, but his eyes were completely dark.
Is it dark?
Or is his vision impaired?
Although his mind was not clear, the coolness on his skin and the slight dew on his clothes told him that it was getting dark.
In other words, he was in a coma for at least a day.
This made his always vigilant brain feel a little bad, but because he had not fully recovered and his body was restricted, he could only continue to lie here. Because of the pain, he struggled on the ground for a long time, and the fallen leaves around him were swept out of the pit. He waited until he finally remembered that he had medicine on him, then with trembling fingers, he reached into his clothes and fumbled out the medicine. However, he couldn't exert any strength in his hand and couldn't hold the medicine bottle at all. , with a hard move of his fingers, he directly pushed the medicine bottle to the ground.
Fortunately, there was no damage.
Su Ziyi didn't have the strength to stand up or hold up his head. He could only groping slowly on the ground like a blind man. Although his lips were as white as snow and the pain in his body was even more despairing, he gritted his teeth and found the medicine bottle. However, his arm didn't even have much strength to lift it up at this time, let alone holding a medicine bottle?
Feeling the trembling of the muscles in his arms, Su Ziyi twitched the corners of his lips and laughed at himself. Then he stopped trying and opened the elixir bottle on the ground without any effort, letting the elixir inside roll all over the floor.
Because of the inconvenience and the darkness, he couldn't identify which one was which, so he touched one at random and put it in his mouth. And during this process, a hissing sound of cold air kept coming from his clenched teeth, and you could tell that he was in pain. And when he put the pill into his mouth, he knew that he had taken it wrong. He wanted to take the Rejuvenation Pill instead of the Qi-Yi Pill.
But at this time, he didn't have the strength to open the second bottle of elixir. He swallowed the Qi-enhancing elixir in one gulp, then closed his eyes and began to inhale spiritual energy while lying on the ground. As soon as the cultivation method in his body started to work, the spiritual energy stored in his body and the surrounding spiritual energy began to move quickly, making his physical condition gradually improve. When the sun was about to rise, there was even a trace of blood on his face. .
Su Ziyi's practice continued until the sun rose. At this time, his body was covered with morning moisture and was sticky and uncomfortable, but Su Ziyi was not in the mood to care about it. After he finished practicing and recovered a little, he immediately pushed himself up and sat up, leaning on the broken tree trunk behind him that had been blown to the ground. He took out the rejuvenation pill from his arms and drank it immediately.
He almost died.
It's really too careless.
Because of the green-gold wolf beast's attack, this originally dark forest was in a mess, with broken trees and branches everywhere. It also allowed the sunlight from the sky to shine in through these holes, one or two beams. The sun just happened to shine on Su Ziyi's face, and the slight warmth made Su Ziyi feel comfortable, and his whole body seemed to be alive.
The effect of one rejuvenation pill was not very good. After Su Ziyi digested the first one, he immediately took the second pill, and after swallowing the second rejuvenation pill, he immediately took another Qi-enhancing pill. Dan. Although the pill was still stained with ash and mud, he put it in his mouth and swallowed it without wiping it off.
Because there were still auras of fifth-level monsters around, Su Ziyi was not worried that other monsters or wild things would come to take advantage of the situation, so he continued to meditate with peace of mind.
When he opened his eyes again, the sun had already set on the other side of the forest. Su Ziyi leaned against the tree and could only see the row of tree tips opposite that were dyed with dazzling gold. Such a scene made him feel dazed for a while, and he even questioned whether he really needed to work so hard? He almost even risked his own life.
But such an idea only existed for a moment, and was immediately dismissed by himself. He knew that it was because the injury was too severe this time, and the fact that the green-gold wolf beast's strength far exceeded his own put great pressure on him, that made him think about these things. Fortunately, he was determined. Even if he wavered, he immediately regained his sense and began to analyze the reason why he was so miserable this time.
First of all, the gap in strength between the two sides is too big; secondly, his experience in fighting the enemy is still too immature, and the opponent treats him like a toy, so he needs to find some truly experienced people to learn this knowledge. ; In the end, his overly strong curiosity made him lose his awe, and luck defeated his reason. This was the main reason.
After summing up, Su Ziyi closed his eyes and took a deep breath, fearing that he would slap himself again.
After this round of rest, his condition has improved a lot. And because he had protected his ears in time yesterday, the problem of internal bleeding was much better at this time, but there were still some hidden wounds left in his body that made him very weak. But this also made him very lucky that the green-gold wolf beast didn't take him seriously. If the other party was really a little more serious, his life would be completely lost.
However, it is also a lesson worth learning. Next time, he will never be so reckless.
Seeing that the sun was about to set, Su Ziyi didn't want to return to the camp now. Because although his health is better, if he encounters other monsters on the road, even first-order monsters, he will not be able to see them at this time; and there is still the aura of the green-gold wolf beast in this area, which is a big problem for him. Currently the safest area within a ten-mile radius.
Therefore, he laboriously split the tree trunk that was blown down to him by the green-gold wolf yesterday with a green-horned knife, and while there was still a little light left in the sky, he set up a simple bonfire and raised it under the dark night sky. He lit a fire and heated his cold body until it was hot. It's a pity that his water bladder has been completely crushed, and the food bag tied together has also been wet and stained. There is really no place to eat.
Although I am hungry, I can only endure it for the time being.
With a long sigh, Su Ziyi took another pill each and continued to repair his body.
"Woo--" On the other side, the green-gold wolf beast that finally reached it before the alluring smell dissipated was already completely furious. He looked at everything in front of him with fear, the smell of blood in his mouth and his abdomen. The severe pain it felt told it to leave immediately. But before it could react, a white light flashed in front of its eyes, and it could no longer see anything else.
This shouldn't be the case!
It should be a king! It is the existence that dominates other monsters! There's no way it could just be left here!
The second before darkness arrived, it was still thinking about these things.
"Phew, it's okay -" Su Ziyi, who was nearly 40% healed from his injuries at dawn the next day, decided to leave. Because there was nothing else in his body except the Rejuvenation Pill and the Qi-Invigorating Pill, which was quite effective in helping him recover from his injuries. Once he returned to the camp, the completely prepared Zhu Ming Vine Fruit alone was very effective in helping the injuries to his internal organs. It is beneficial, so he must go back as soon as possible, otherwise staying here is a waste of time.
In addition, he was also worried about whether the green-gold wolf beast would turn back. After all, this place was a very good water source and could easily attract various monsters to gather. And once the green-gold wolf turned back, he would have no room to fight at the end of his strength.
So, after randomly scooping up some water from the fast river with leaves and drinking it, Su Ziyi walked back to the road using a random tree stick as a crutch.
Because his spiritual consciousness was not affected, Su Ziyi, who was cautious, kept using his spiritual consciousness to explore the road along the way. However, even if he did not encounter other monsters or even animals along the way, Su Ziyi did not return to the camp until after noon. And after he sat down, another mouthful of blood came up. He couldn't bear it and vomited it out.
After spitting out this mouthful of blood, Su Ziyi felt much relieved, but his head was also a little dizzy. He knew that in addition to the blood loss, there was also the reason for not eating for a long time.
Therefore, after calming down his breath, he first lit a fire and directly took down the bandicoot meat hanging on the fire pit and roasted it. Thanks to the fact that this is the meat of a second-level monster beast, if it were ordinary meat, it would have stunk in this summer. However, the current bandicoot meat does not have any unpleasant odor except that it does not have the luster of the previous aura.
While the meat was roasting, Su Ziyi followed the instructions on the prescription and mixed half of a Zhu Ming Vine fruit with three gourd moon seeds. Without grinding, he put it into his mouth and slowly ground it with his teeth. With. And when the juices from the two flowed down the esophagus and into the stomach, a slightly painful and stinging feeling instantly enveloped Su Ziyi's internal organs. It was very uncomfortable, but at the same time another warmth arose. , tightly fitting the injured part, allowing the damaged internal organs to quickly repair.
"It's a pity. If I had found the purple velvet flower, I wouldn't have been so uncomfortable." The slightly painful sting was like a needle prick, making Su Ziyi feel that none of his internal organs were his. After the sting completely dissipated, he He said with a pale face and regret. But he was just saying it. After all, it was good to be able to save a life this time.
However, the fact that a fifth-level monster appeared actually made Su Ziyi think deeply about it.
He can be sure that this area is not the center of the mountain range, but if there is a fifth level in the center, is it okay to go further in? And if there are higher-level and more numerous monsters in this mountain range, it would be too strange if no aristocratic family is stationed in such a natural hunting ground!
So, what's going on?
The birth of fifth-level monsters definitely does not happen overnight, and monsters have a bad nature and are naturally hostile to monks. Once there is an opportunity, they will definitely appear in front of people. Although this place is somewhat far away from Luoshan Village, it is nothing to a fifth-level monster. However, in the past few hundred years, people in Luoshan Village have never seen any trace of the monster. This is simply unreasonable!
So, what causes this irrationality?
This series of questions made Su Ziyi's already dizzy head even more dizzy. But even so, he didn't want to give up exploring. After all, as he went deeper, there were more and more things that were invisible to people in this mountain range. This made him curious and wanted to dig out the secret behind it with his own hands.
But, obviously not now.
After eating this large portion of bandicoot meat, the thick spiritual energy washed over Su Ziyi and made him feel comfortable. He immediately closed his eyes and practiced to absorb and transform the abundant spiritual energy.
In fact, if you want to talk about it, the spiritual energy in this second-level monster is much more than the spiritual energy brought by the Qi Replenishing Pill. It's just that second-level monsters are relatively rare, so most of the resources used by ordinary monks are low-level elixirs. Thanks to Su Ziyi's previous attack on this bandicoot, his dilapidated body had turned around. Coupled with the previous medication of Zhu Ming Vine Fruit, both of which worked together, the injuries in his body improved at an extremely fast speed. Waiting for another By the time dawn arrived, his injuries had already healed to some extent.
But even if it was almost good, he didn't plan to act rashly.
He continued to stay in the camp and rest for three or four days. In the past few days, apart from meditating and handling medicinal materials, he never stepped into the forest again.
And it was precisely because of his honesty that his injury healed very quickly. Within a few days, he was almost healed.
It was also until this day that all the medicinal materials and spiritual herbs he had concocted before had been almost processed. That night, he wrapped all the medicinal materials layer by layer with wide leaves, and then stacked them in bamboo baskets. After arranging everything neatly, he hung the bamboo baskets on the supporting tree trunks. On a tree branch.
After doing this, he sat back down by the fire.
There were some elixirs and prepared medicinal materials scattered around him, but he didn't stuff them into the cloth bag. Instead, he silently took out his green horn knife and looked at the blade that glowed coldly.
——What happened a few days ago was indeed terrifying.
——But what if he still wants to go see it?
