Chapter 12 The Hunter and the Prey
As night fell, the pale moonlight filled the entire earth, and the forest of thousands of trees was completely out of reach. The whole jungle was extremely quiet. The sound of insects in the jungle was not at all in the jungle. The whole jungle was like a bloody mouth that devoured creatures.
Chen Xinghan, who was sitting at a secret rest point meditating and transporting his internal energy, suddenly felt a burst of mental ripples coming from his personal manager, and the alarm clock rang.
There are two types of alarm clocks in the personal manager, one is audio and the other is silent. Everyone knows the audio and will not say it. The silent one is emitted from the personal manager, which directly affects the human brain and makes people know that time is up.
Audio is basically used in safe places. For example, in places where tasks are performed, and in places where evil exorcists use this kind of silence, because audio always accidentally attracts some unexpected situations.
The internal energy gradually returns to the dantian, and then instantly transforms into war energy and flows to various muscles in his body, stored there. This is also the ability that Chen Xinghan has recently realized. He transforms the war energy into his heart and then uses alchemy techniques to hone the internal energy. Although it cannot quickly increase the quantity like using the practice method of war energy, it is indeed good for quality improvement. Moreover, the war energy requires a lot of physical training to be practiced, but this inner alchemy method can be meditated.
"Why are you all awake?" Uncle Mengqi asked softly at this time.
To be honest, Uncle Mengqi, who had always spoke loudly and generously, suddenly spoke in such a light voice. Chen Xinghan was really not used to it, but the awkward feeling was just stuck in his heart for a while before being thrown behind him, and he replied softly: "Well, I'm awake."
Ming Xixing also whispered: "So too."
"Okay, everyone put on their night vision goggles and then take some compressed food pieces and compressed water pills. We are ready to go."
Hearing Uncle Mengqi's words, Chen Xinghan took out a pair of windproof glasses from his personal space and put them on. After putting on the glasses, although they were still a little darker to see the surrounding environment, they could basically see clearly.
Take out a small piece of square compressed food and a small light blue compressed water pill from the space and throw it into your mouth. Don’t underestimate these small squares and small balls. Just one small piece is enough for people to eat and intake a day in a normal environment.
"I will give you the next task completely. If you are ready, then set off." Hearing Uncle Mengqi's words, Chen Xinghan and Ming Xixing responded softly.
Feeling that his stomach, which was a little hungry, was completely full, Chen Xinghan stood up gently and walked towards the entrance of the tree hole.
Slowly pushing open the hole, the forest outside the hole was very quiet, without a trace of sound. At this time, any subtle sound would have a strong reaction. Chen Xinghan slid silently to the ground along the trunk of the tree. As soon as he stood still, Mingxi followed him and came to him.
Chen Xinghan took the lead in the way, and Ming West traveled closely followed. This was also what the two had agreed before. Ming West traveled can be said to be a completely long-range attack character, while Chen Xinghan mainly focuses on melee combat. If something happens, Chen Xinghan can immediately push up, while Ming West traveled quickly to pull back and widen the distance to carry out long-range strikes.
Moreover, Chen Xinghan's habits and observations of these things made Ming Xixing admire, so Chen Xinghan's position as the leader of the team has been approved by him.
The two of them walked silently in the jungle, their steps were very light, even if the rustling sound made by stepping on the grass was difficult to hear if they were not listened carefully.
"If it were Xiaoxue's words, I think it would be a sound at all." Chen Xinghan muttered in his heart, but he also knew that compared to a super reconnaissance team like Xue Xue, it was completely uncomfortable to speak softly.
At this moment, Chen Xinghan, who was leading the way in front, suddenly made a stop gesture to Ming Xixing behind him, "Did you find something?" Ming Xixing immediately stopped when he saw Chen Xinghan's gesture and said in his heart.
Then he saw Chen Xinghan squatting on the ground as if he was looking at something, and immediately made a gesture to himself. Ming Xixing walked over gently, then squatted down and looked at the ground in front of Chen Xinghan.
There were three claw marks on the ground. At this time, Chen Xinghan reached out and touched the claw marks, and then said to Ming Xixing, who was squatting beside him: "Looking at the appearance and size of the claw marks, it is very likely that the claw marks of the shadow beast, and the claw marks have the direction of force. This shadow beast should have walked forward about thirty minutes ago."
Ming still admires Chen Xinghan for just this little bit, "Then are we going to catch up immediately?"
Chen Xinghan did not answer but nodded slightly. Then he stood up and rushed forward quickly, and Ming went west to run immediately afterwards.
...
When he arrived at an open space, Chen Xinghan's originally quick figure stopped immediately. From extreme speed to extreme quiet, he saw Chen Xinghan hear it, and immediately stopped when he went west, "What's wrong?"
"We're here, it seems that there should be about three Shadow Beasts."
Hearing Chen Xinghan's words, Ming Xixing looked at the quiet and dark forests around him and smiled, and said softly: "Are you saying that we have become prey now from hunters?"
Chen Xinghan didn't care about Ming Xixing's teasing, but laughed softly: "I don't know whether it's prey or the hunter yet. You can only know this kind of thing after fighting."
"But it's very unfavorable for us in this environment." After looking at the dark woods around, Ming Xixing said with some concern.
"The reason why the hunter is a hunter is that he is hidden in the dark and is unknown to the prey, or that the hunter's strength is completely greater than the prey, that's one point, and now... the identity of the hunter and prey has been changed back!" While saying the last few words, Chen Xinghan instantly pulled out the two serrated machetes behind him, and his body slightly let a black shadow rush past him and crossed the black shadow's body and then pulled the serrated teeth. With a "sharp" sound, the black shadow was torn into four petals.
Ignoring the corpse of the evil beast that was burning with black flames at his feet, the other two shadow beasts in the shadow howled and slowly walked out.
The Shadow Beast is an evil beast that looks very much like a cat, with black and dull hair, long fangs and sharp teeth, and a body about the size of a wolfdog. There is a barb on the tail behind the butt with a cold glow.
