Behind them, pairs of green eyes were shining brightly. It was the small black-ridged beast they had seen before. It was just one, but now there were hundreds of them, and the number was still increasing.
At some point, they had quietly gathered around and were eyeing this group of fresh food.
From a distance, Xiao Yu could hear the sound of their saliva dripping on the grass blades. The disgusting saliva still exuded a billowing stench, drifting over with the hot wind in the forest at night, making people feel sick at times.
Several of them were already walking towards them, and in the forest behind these little beasts, there were gradually more and more green eyes.
Not only Xiao Yu, but also Qin Lin and the Lu brothers were fully prepared for the battle, but the light here was too dark at this time, affecting everyone's vision.
At the same time, in the darkness where she couldn't see her fingers, Lin Keqing was floating high in the air, looking around vigilantly. She had something she wanted to confirm.
"Abao Ayu, the Lu family brothers and I will deal with them first. You and Alin will stay behind me for the time being to pick up the fish that slipped through the net."
"Of course, you hide in the tree first."
Xiao Yu spoke decisively behind him and rushed out with a long sword in hand.
She knew very well that these little beasts couldn't be scared away by just roaring, otherwise Hu Tao'er wouldn't have let Da Hui eat the three-tailed spearheads first to frighten them.
While she was speaking, many pairs of eyes had already pounced on her.
She shuttled quickly through the forest, her powerful figure like a ghost, and blood foam flew everywhere she passed.
After Lu Yiran heard Xiao Yu's arrangement, she broke away from the horse without hesitation and flew towards the nearest big tree. She squatted on the branch like a small animal and waited quietly.
In the gap after the first wave of slashing, a ball of light suddenly lit up in Xiao Yu's hand. She threw the light into the air. As she murmured, the light turned into countless grain worms, slightly illuminating the forest.
The appearance of the grain worms first excited the Lu brothers. Their eyes were filled with murderous intent. One held an iron ax in one hand, and the other held a large pestle. They quickly rushed into the herd and began to hammer and kill them indiscriminately.
These little beasts seemed to have no emotions at all, more like they hadn't seen such fresh food for a long time. They rushed in and out, not caring about their own casualties. They were like puppets biting whoever they saw, as if the killings of Xiao Yu and the others were not enough for them.
fear.
"Don't kill them directly, these are third-level little demons, take their demon essence!"
While waving his sword, Xiao Yu repeatedly warned the Lu brothers who were extremely ruthless.
Because they were really too strong and their attacks were extremely ruthless. Every one of their little beasts were shattered into pieces and died on the spot. They were destroyed before they even had time to obtain the demon essence.
After hearing this, the two Lu brothers looked at each other in a tacit understanding and changed their strategies. The one with the pestle was responsible for knocking the little beast out with a lighter hand, while the one with the ax was responsible for digging out the demon essence.
Their movements were so swift that A Bao, A Yu, and Qin Lin who were in the back line were all eager to try.
In the end, after some discussion among several people, it was decided that the Lu family brothers would be responsible for knocking him out, and the other three would be responsible for collecting the demon essence from behind.
Although everyone cooperated in a tacit understanding, they could not help but be overwhelmed by the numbers of the beasts. After all, except for Xiao Yu and Lin Keqing, the Lu family brothers and Baoyu sisters were only in the early stages of Yuan Cheng.
And Qin Lin has just reached the edge of Yuan Cheng.
Therefore, after killing nearly a hundred little beasts, everyone gradually showed signs of fatigue, and large and small scars began to appear on their bodies.
At this time, Xiao Yu also happened to be fighting with one of the stronger little beasts. The little beast's cultivation level had actually reached the sixth level. After Lin Keqing's reminder, she learned that it was just a member of this group of little beasts.
leader.
Although these monsters that did not choose to transform into humans and retain their animal bodies were not as good as Xiao Yu in terms of cultivation, they were often physically strong, had well-developed limbs, and were very agile.
For example, under the bright light of the grain worm, this six-layered thorn beast, the thorn skin all over its body has completely turned black. Compared with those low-level gray ones, it is more than a little stronger.
Xiao Yu did not choose to deal with it for too long, because the opponent was really cruel, and she also needed to conserve her strength. She had just entered the edge of the endless forest, and the road was still long.
In the end, she chose to use Yuancheng's later cultivation level to summon a boundary with a diameter of two lengths and a height of two. She first trapped the six-layered thorn beast and consumed its physical strength, and then let Da Hui deal with it and kill the demon to take the sword.
Yuan.
This was the most efficient method she could think of to save physical and mental energy.
After getting rid of the thorn beast, Xiao Yu started to fight back, because she really rushed a little far, she had just broken through the cultivation level, and the speed was so fast that it was difficult to control, and she was a little surprised.
But when she took a detour, the battle situation in front of her developed in another direction.
In front of her, the remaining more than a hundred thorn beasts were lying on their backs. Their eyes were straight, with a layer of white halo in the green, like dead dogs.
Somewhat funny.
On a tree slightly closer to the group of thorn beasts, Lu was still sitting on a thick branch, trembling slightly.
Her pupils were emitting cold white light, and she was slowly scanning the group of thorn beasts on the ground.
Seeing Xiao Yu come back, the white light in her right eye slowly extinguished, and she blinked towards Xiao Yu. After seeing him clearly, she felt as if she had seen a savior, and even her breathing became a little short.
"Sister, I...I saw ghosts in their eyes, there are so many..."
Lu Yiran's voice was slightly trembling and intermittent, as if she was very afraid of what she said.
Her words made everyone present look frightened, including Xiao Yu, because she had been attacked by a group of ghosts at night when she was in the palace of Huoli Kingdom.
That kind of terrifying gloominess like a dark cloud was completely different from the current Lin Keqing. It made people feel uncomfortable all over just looking at it. She still can't forget it.
"Nonsense!"
At this time, a sharp sound came from the sky, and Hu Taoer suddenly returned riding Big Hui.
Boom!
A huge round thing fell from Dahui's mouth and hit the ground hard with a muffled sound. By coincidence, it landed on the ground between Xiao Yu and Lu Yiran.
With this blow, blood splashed everywhere, mixed with fallen leaves and wet soil in the forest, and sprayed all over Xiao Yu. She was so disgusted that she almost lost her balance.
A burst of warmth quickly approached behind her. Fortunately, Qin Lin appeared behind her in time and pressed his body against her.
"How are you? Be careful, they...are awake!" Qin Lin's gentle and concerned voice sounded in his ears.
In the only light of the grain insect, Xiao Yu felt the warmth behind his back suddenly disappear, and before he knew it, Qin Lin was standing in front of him, holding a long black sword in his hand.
It was a family heirloom of his Qin family.
By the light of the grain worm, everyone unconsciously looked towards the fallen object. When they saw it, their expressions changed slightly. This object turned out to be the three-tailed spear head that was flying in the sky just now.
At this time, the three spear-headed giant tails and fat snake-like bodies had long been buried in Dahui's belly, leaving only a huge head.
The head mutated like an eagle's head, taking on a shape as sharp as the tip of a spear, which had already become dripping with blood. Her sharp mouth was wide and long, as if she was still roaring in pain before she died, and her eyes were also
It had already been poached and eaten up by Big Hui.
It was precisely because he was startled by this sudden airborne object that Lu Yiran's spell was accidentally released due to the shock just now.
As soon as the spell was released, the thorn beasts that had been temporarily trapped on all fours suddenly started to move one by one. The dark green in their eyes once again took over, covering the circle of white illusion light.
Making a grunting sound from their mouths, they quickly rolled up from the ground and began to look for prey.
"This is an endless forest, not the treacherous dense forest of the western treacherous realm. If there were ghosts here, would we still be able to survive? Who are you trying to scare here? If you can't fight, just stay away and hide. Don't talk nonsense there.
, sensationalizing!”
While talking, Hu Tao'er jumped off Da Hui, while Mei Yu'er had a confused look on her face, a little confused as to what happened.
Hu Tao'er glanced around at the thorn beasts in front of her and let out a cold snort. Her pupils gradually lit up with red crystal light, her red lips were slightly raised, and her fangs were already bared in her mouth.
Her hands turned around casually by her side, and there was a clicking sound on her finger bones. With those sounds, her nails became extremely sharp, and even shone with a cold light.
She was like a miniature version of the humanoid Big Gray, her scarlet tongue licked around in her mouth, and she slowly walked towards the herd of thorn beasts.
"Doctor Hu...you...behind you..."
At this time, Mei Yu'er, who had been sitting on Da Hui's body, suddenly opened her eyes in fear and pointed tremblingly behind Hu Tao'er.
