“Shh—”
With his index finger between his lips, Xia Xiao stood on the branch and moved slowly, looking for the source of movement in the dense jungle.
"With so many people, they must have been scared away."
When Shu Shuang suggested this, Xia Xiao jumped down from the tree, touched the ground with his palms, and closed his eyes. The dense forest suddenly turned into a bright green fluorescence and appeared in Xia Xiao's mind.
When he opened his eyes, Xia Xiao rushed forward.
“Follow me!”
While running, Xia Xiao reminded:
"This is a third-level Thousand Flower Deer, be careful."
The five elements that a third-level wild beast can control are much stronger than a second-level one. Now they are still in the jungle, and it is extremely difficult to fight a third-level wood-element wild beast. If Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang do not cooperate well, they are likely to die.
Lin Tian has already run past this place, but without the power of the five elements, he cannot find the Wanhua deer hidden in the jungle even if he is in the late stage of condensation. Now that he has been discovered by Xia Xiao, he can hunt the powerful wild beasts faster than Xia Xiao and compete for the first place!
He raised his arm, and Shu Shuang stopped when she saw it. She had no equipment on her body at this time, so her body was light. When she landed, she jumped onto the tree, pulled out the two short knives on her slender calves, and acted as an observer and support. When Xia Xiao's Pudao was tilted towards the sky, his palm touched the ground again.
Some trees were within Xia Xiao's perception. The deer was nearby, but it was hiding too well. However, there was a difference between plants and life. Soon, Xia Xiao opened his eyes.
“I found you!”
Looking to one side, countless gorgeous little flowers bloomed under the big tree, each one was extremely delicate, as if carved from white jade. Those were the Thousand Flower Deer!
Xia Xiao threw a dagger coated with anesthetic, making him feel the danger and stand up immediately.
The deer lying on the ground looked like a muddy field covered with green grass. It had its back to Xia Xiao and its short antlers suddenly rushed forward, heading deep into the forest.
Seeing this, Xia Xiao quickly followed, picked up the dagger and threw it again. The sharp dagger scratched the hind leg of the deer, leaving a scar and bleeding.
The deer, whose back was covered with small flower buds, neighed, stopped running, and turned to face Xia Xiao.
The deer neighed angrily, and its body instantly grew several times larger, becoming more than three meters tall. Xia Xiao, who had been looking straight ahead, could only look up for a moment, and his heart trembled.
Xia Xiao's first reaction was to raise his arms backwards, signaling Shu Shuang not to act rashly. The latter stood on the branch with his head lowered, looking around to prevent outsiders from interfering. Now is the time when the fisherman benefits from the quarrel between the clam and the oyster.
In fact, Shu Shuang could not think of these, but Xia Xiao told her. He was used to looking at others with the worst eyes, but Shu Shuang was used to looking at them with kindness, so she could not see through them.
The deer made a sound, raised its hooves and pressed down, the ground suddenly broke, and vines began to roll, constantly moving towards Xia Xiao. If you were hit by these vines, there would be a blood-red mark on your body. Moreover, wood-type wild beasts are generally good at using poison. Even if the opponent is a Wanhua deer, the poison is not strong, but it can paralyze the nerves, so you must be careful!
The vines were like waves, and when they came over, Xia Xiao jumped up and dodged them. Then he dodged to the side, thinking about how to attack.
The wood-type wild beasts mostly control tree roots and vines. They may not seem strong, but they are actually very difficult to deal with.
Pulling out the machete, Xia Xiao sprinkled anesthetic on it, but it didn't stick to the latter at all, and all fell to the ground. Seeing this, Xia Xiao turned his head and shouted:
"Shu Shuang, I will pretend to be your master!"
Shu Shuang did not answer, now she wanted to hide her position. Xia Xiao was targeted by the Thousand Flower Deer because of his voice!
Xia Xiao, who was hiding behind a tree, looked down at the ground. Although he saw nothing unusual, he still left abruptly. The next moment, the place where he had been standing was pierced by several sharp brambles, which were nailed into the tree and poked several holes.
While staring, Xia Xiao used his energy to speed up, dodging the strange vines one after another. The eyes of the deer had already turned red, and now it was full of hostility. Every time its front hooves stepped on the ground, the ground shook.
"Damn it, I can't get close to you!"
Xia Xiao gritted his teeth, feeling a bit tricky, and walked around the Thousand Flower Deer. The latter saw his route of action, and immediately a vine emerged from the ground, with a huge flower bud growing on it, with mucus fangs open, a typical man-eating plant.
He glanced at the deer in front of him. The latter seemed to be prepared. As long as Xia Xiao stopped, it would be entangled by the vines behind it and die.
Swinging his machete, Xia Xiao chopped the large flower vines into pieces and jumped straight over.
Bang!
As soon as his feet left the ground, thorny vines broke through the ground and pierced out. If he continued like this, he would be caught up sooner or later.
Seeing the dagger not far away, Xia Xiao walked towards it.
All of Xia Xiao's vital energy exploded, his feet moved like the wind, his figure flashed by, and he pulled out the dagger.
If the Wanhua Deer was of a higher level and possessed human intelligence, Xia Xiao would definitely be dead on this trip, but it is not that smart.
Leaping onto the tree, Xia Xiao rushed out again, causing the tree to shake violently. At the same time, Shu Shuang also moved, but behind the Wanhua Deer. The deer's eyes were huge, staring at it at this time, emitting a fierce light. It was now completely attracted by Xia Xiao, and even pushed towards him to compete.
Holding a dagger in one hand and a machete in the other, Xia Xiao was only two meters away from the deer in the blink of an eye. The deer was very agile, so if he wanted to hurt it, he had to get close, and now the distance was just right. The dagger coated with anesthetic flew out and cut the side of the deer, while Xia Xiao crossed the machete in his hand and collided with it. This distance was the only way!
Buzz——
The two energies collided violently, creating a wave of air that shook the forest violently. Several trees broke and fell to the ground.
A pair of angry red eyes stared at Xia Xiao. The antlers of the Wanhua Deer were only the length of a finger. If they were longer, Xia Xiao would be in greater danger. With a sudden force, the petals on the back of the Wanhua Deer trembled and scattered in the air. Xia Xiao flew backwards and shot dozens of meters.
The strength of the Wanhua Deer cannot be underestimated, and the strength of wild beasts and humans is difficult to compare!
Xia Xiao was clear-headed. He staggered a few steps on the ground before he could stand firm. Then he jumped onto a rock, which made him safe. Who knew what would come out of the ground? However, looking at the staggering appearance of the deer, Xia Xiao was quite satisfied.
When he and the deer clashed before, Shu Shuang scratched its leg. Because of the strong effect of the drug, the deer gradually became unstable, but the anger in its eyes had not subsided.
Vines sprouted from the ground, like a nest of poisonous snakes, several times larger than before, and even climbed up the rocks, heading towards Xia Xiao.
Seeing this, Xia Xiao quickly jumped onto the branch, as agile as a monkey, and then shouted in the direction of Shu Shuang:
"Walk!"
Shu Shuang withdrew after hearing this, but Xia Xiao stayed where he was.
A third-level wild beast is not so easy to defeat. It will definitely go crazy. Shu Shuang must leave first. A drop of sweat fell from Xia Xiao's forehead. In Xia Xiao's exceptionally calm eyes, the Wanhua Deer bumped around, venting its anger.
boom!
The tree where Shu Shuang was previously standing immediately broke and fell down, followed by a group of trees falling down.
The deer turned its head and came towards Xia Xiao. When Xia Xiao was about to act, a flash of cold light passed by and slashed across the deer's legs again.
The dagger carrying the vitality was extremely sharp, causing blood to spurt out of the hind legs of the Wanhua Deer again. Although Shu Shuang was willing to kill him, she couldn't bear to watch.
Click!
After a tearing sound unique to wood was heard, Xia Xiao stabilized his body and jumped to another tree as the tree slowly fell.
Although the deer was scratched seven times and had anesthetics injected into its body seven times, it still stumbled and broke the tree, which surprised Xia Xiao.
When the tree under his feet fell again, Xia Xiao jumped out and rolled on the ground. When he raised his broadsword to face Wanhualu, the latter's breathing was disordered, and even his eyes were blurred, and his gradually heavy eyelids covered his vision.
The sturdy legs bent, and the deer finally fell down. It struggled to stand up and tried to open its eyes, but it failed. In the end, it still lost to the meanness of humans. The anesthetic contained the herbs that wild beasts feared the most. If you eat one, let alone a third-level wild beast, even a fourth-level one would fall into a coma for an hour.
Shu Shuang ran behind Xia Xiao and reported:
"No one's around."
"Let's keep going in. With our current results, we can compete for first place!"
After Xia Xiao finished speaking, he placed a number tag belonging to himself and Shu Shuang on the body of the Wanhua Deer. After the game is over, more than two hours later, someone will naturally come to deal with these wild beasts and make statistics.
The bud-like flowers on the deer's back gradually closed, and some even withered. Shu Shuang felt sad watching this, but she followed Xia Xiao.
The road to first place was very difficult, because there were not many level 3 wild beasts in this area. Lin Tian had paralyzed a level 3 forest wolf, but if he knew that Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang could defeat five of them, he would probably be furious.
Their bodies were as fast as the wind, shuttling through the forest without stopping for a moment. Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang seized the time and soon went deep into the forest like Lin Tian and the others.
When Xia Xiao stopped on the branch, he realized the strangeness of the tree under his feet. They were fully armed and extremely tall, like ancient guards, standing for thousands of years without falling, and separating the inside and the outside, like a representative of authority. This kind of amazing tree is called the Divine Power Ancient Tree, and the bark is also a magical medicine, but it is extremely hard and difficult to remove.
Leaping to the treetops, these protruding trees form a slightly curved arc, reaching straight to the sky.
"Beyond this, it's dangerous territory!"
Xia Xiao's reminder made Shu Shuang more careful.
The ancient trees of divine power are connected together, like a long cordon, separating the wild beasts of level one to three from the wild beasts of level four to six, and are called the forbidden wall by the world. The wild beasts inside can come out, but the wild beasts outside cannot enter. Just like some famous families can go anywhere at will, but civilians who trespass into important places will be punished by death.
Going further in might be dangerous, Xia Xiao pondered, weighing the pros and cons. He and Shu Shuang had completed their mission. As long as they paralyzed two more level three wild beasts, they could chase Lin Tian. But if they went in, they would be seriously injured if not dead. Level four wild beasts were much smarter than level three, and it would be more troublesome to deal with them!
Thinking of this, Xia Xiao was ready to take Shu Shuang away, but outside the forbidden wall, a team was approaching. They had only one goal, and that was to kill Xia Xiao!
