Chapter 929 929. Surrounded (4000 Words, Two in One)

As night falls, the bright moon is in the sky. As if under a spell, the Star Dou Forest danced crazily, and the sound of leaves rubbing against each other resounded for ten miles. The crows in the forest also sang the death concerto, and the owls began to hunt.

There are mostly evergreen broad-leaved forests on the mountain, but some trees still lose their leaves, which makes the whole forest look simple and clear, with a strong sense of spatial perspective. The bloody moonlight pours down through the gaps in the branches, reflecting the twigs and old bark of ancient trees. It looks like picturesque photographs, but at this moment it looks a little eerie .

Ma Hongjun led the six of Xiao Wentian into the Great Star Forest. The soles of the shoes stepped on the accumulated leaves accumulated for many years on the ground, making a crackling sound, which was particularly loud in this silent night. The soil on the ground was soft, and the seven of them walked all the way. Come, leave footprints of different shades on the road.

Ma Hongjun's eyes were shining brightly, and he kept scanning his surroundings with vigilant eyes. At the same time, he used his unskilled mental power to activate the mental power radar nearby. If he attacked secretly, he could also be warned in advance.

As for Xiao Wentian and the other six, they naturally didn't stand still and stop working.

Ma Hongjun is a vanguard general, not their nanny, even though Xiao Wentian and the other six are Yang Ming's new disciples, they still don't have the obligation to take care of them 360°.

Each of Xiao Wentian's six people held an engineering shovel, and they used the engineering shovel to open the way in front of them. They used the engineering shovel to strike at the nearby dense bushes and thorns, and cleared them away, opening up a passage for one person to walk.

There is no way, because the last time there was a beast horde in the Star Dou Great Forest, the villages near the Star Dou Great Forest have been deserted. For half a year, the flow of people entering and leaving the Star Dou Great Forest has greatly decreased. It has long been covered by weeds and shrubs, and the scene of the original forest has been restored.

Fortunately, the dirt road left by generations of people in the Star Dou Forest is still there. Xiao Wentian and the others only need to split the nearby shrubs and thorns on the basis of the original dirt road, and there is no need to use additional stones to pave it. pavement.

The Star Dou Great Forest is the largest habitat for soul beasts. Even if the million soul beasts dropped by half half a year ago, don't underestimate the reproduction of soul beasts. In a safe environment and with sufficient food supply, a large number of new souls Beasts have already been conceived, but their strength is very poor. Most of them are soul beasts within ten years, not much different from wild beasts.

A few birds, souls and beasts stood on the branches of the tree, tilting their heads and looking at the seven uninvited guests.

Perhaps it was because he noticed that Ma Hongjun, a 70th-level soul saint, was not easy to provoke, and he could faintly feel the aura of a bird king from Ma Hongjun. quietly watching them.

Apart from these few bird spirit beasts, Ma Hongjun used his not-so-excellent mental power to vaguely feel that there were other spirit beasts in the forest spying on their every move from afar, but perhaps it was because he didn't have a complete grasp of where to start. , They hide their bodies very well, they are just hanging in the distance for the time being, and they have no intention of approaching.

Compared with human society, the soul beast world implements the law of the weak and the strong. In the soul beast world, being weak is the original sin. Every soul beast will try its best to protect itself. If it is not fully sure, it will not easily treat other soul beasts. Beast shot, because once shot, it means to fight, it means to be injured, and in the group of soul beasts that are extremely lack of healing soul skills, once injured means weakness, it means death.

Although Ma Hongjun sensed that there were spirit beasts peeping at their team, he didn't make a move. Instead, he calmed down and continued to search for the aura that made him faintly feel fear.

Just like that, the surrounding spirit beasts and Ma Hongjun and his party maintained this silent tacit understanding, and neither side made a move.

However, as Ma Hongjun and his party continued to go deeper into the Star Dou Forest, this situation was undergoing subtle changes.

Over the years, Ma Hongjun has come into contact with top powerhouses like Yang Ming, Tang Hao, and Tang Chen. Although he is not well-known outside, he has grown rapidly, and he is particularly sensitive to the grasp of aura. Yue Yue showed a hint of murderous intent towards them, and quickly raised his hand to stop Xiao Wentian and the other six from opening the way, with a solemn expression on his face, he said:

"Everyone prepare carefully!"

Hearing this, Xiao Wentian and the six immediately threw down the engineering shovel, and formed a group of three, back to back, staring at their surroundings vigilantly.

In the dark forest, pairs of orange-yellow eyes appeared, exuding icy cold gazes, which made the six teenagers feel terrified when they encountered this kind of thing for the first time, and the looming murderous intent lingered around their necks like the breath of death. , suddenly felt chills all over.

Seeing that Ma Hongjun and his party were prepared, the soul beast side knew that the probability of a surprise attack was not high, so they stopped pretending and had a showdown.

"Aw!"

With a deafening roar and a thick heat flow, a male lion wrapped in flames rushed out from the depths of the forest.

This is a 2,000-year-old flame lion king. Ever since he appeared behind him, he has let out a roar. The mane unique to a male lion is spreading, and the fiery red hair is even more mighty under the light of the flames around his body. majestic.

Its body is extraordinarily majestic, with a length of three meters and a shoulder height of 1.5 meters. It has a large body, a well-proportioned body, medium-length limbs, a very sharp muscle outline, a large and round head, a short snout, a huge head, and a face shape. Quite broad, long nasal bone, nose is black. The flame lion king's ears are relatively short and round, the forelimbs are stronger than the hind limbs, and its claws are also very wide. The tail is relatively long and has a tuft of long dark hairs at the end.

There was a cold aura exuding from the brown eyes, and after the Flame Lion King roared, he flew all four hooves and charged straight in Ma Hongjun's direction.

While the Flame Lion King was running, the flames burning on his body continued to rise, and the scorching temperature made the surroundings of his body distorted.

Seeing this, Xiao Wentian's pupils shrank suddenly, shrinking into a needle-like shape, and reminded:

"General, be careful!"

"Don't worry, it's a piece of cake!"

Ma Hongjun didn't seem to pay much attention to the flame lion king with a cultivation base of two thousand years, and moved his wrist joints on the spot, making a series of crackling sounds like roasted beans.

When the Flaming Lion King was less than a hundred meters away from him, Ma Hongjun suddenly moved.

"boom!"

Ma Hongjun stepped on it with his right foot, leaving a hole in place, and the whole body shot out.

Seeing that the human being in front of him actually advanced instead of retreating, the Flame Lion King was furious, he opened his mouth wide open, with a mouthful of blazing fireworks in his throat, he was about to spray Ma Hongjun all over his face.

At this moment, Ma Hongjun was seen soaring into the sky, like a big bird spreading its wings, with a pair of flaming wings slowly spreading out from behind.

As the seven soul rings under his feet slowly unfolded, Ma Hongjun's aura as a newly promoted soul sage suddenly emerged. It was only at this moment that the Flame Lion King suddenly realized that he had kicked on the iron plate!

Unfortunately, the flame lion king's awakening came too late too late!

The flickering flames reflected Ma Hongjun's simple and honest face from time to time, he didn't intend to hold back his hand, he used all his strength when he made a move.

"Fifth soul skill! Phoenix Meteor Shower!"

Flame feathers fluttered down along with the phoenix's wings. These flame feathers pierced the sky, made a sharp whistling sound, and turned into a terrifying bolide shower in midair.

The raging fire was like a painter, using the brush in his hand to paint everywhere he went like crazy, scurrying around with the wind, devouring everything recklessly, and the red flame turned black like an arrogant one.

The Flaming Lion King is not Yang Ming. When faced with such a terrifying large-scale soul skill, he immediately opened his mouth to spit out a fireball, which was barely enough to block the meteor shower in a small area. Seeing this situation, the Flaming Lion King did not hesitate. Turn around and run away.

But, it wants to run, Ma Hongjun will not let it go!

"Stop running!"

A gleam of fire appeared in Ma Hongjun's eyes. The strands of spiritual power he honed after being promoted to Soul Sage were attached to the nearest meteor shower. Although he couldn't mobilize all the meteor showers to collectively turn around, this small part of the meteor shower was enough!

"call out!"

The five meteor showers were originally falling vertically, but under the intervention of Ma Hongjun's mental power, they turned and turned in mid-air, drawing a graceful arc, leaving a long string of gorgeous tail flames behind them, and catching up fiercely from behind Flame Lion King.

"Aw!"

There was a roar mixed with pain.

Three of the five meteor showers hit the Flame Lion King's back one after another, leaving hot smoke marks and bruised scars on its noble and elegant fur. The other two meteor showers were dodged by the Flame Lion King. A raging fire rose in the densely-covered jungle, and the scorching flames dispelled the surrounding darkness, bringing some light to this dark and silent Great Star Forest.

With the light of the flames, Ma Hongjun looked around, and was shocked to find that there were no less than ten thousand-year-level spirit beasts in the surrounding area, and there were even ten-year and century-old spirit beasts acting as minions, quietly crawling on the ground, a pair of vicious The animal eyes stared at them and the group with cold hatred.

Although Ma Hongjun was slightly relieved that there were no ten-thousand-year-level spirit beasts here, but the appearance of so many thousand-year-level spirit beasts in the Star Dou Forest still attracted Ma Hongjun's great attention.

You know, it is different now than usual, half of the Star Dou Great Forest's army of one million soul beasts has died. Logically speaking, even if there are millennium-level soul beasts appearing outside the Star Dou Great Forest, there shouldn't be so many of them. Maybe the Star Dou Great Forest What happened in the forest that the outside world could not guess.

As soon as he thought of this, Ma Hongjun immediately lost the idea of ​​further investigation.

Ma Hongjun had a premonition that something serious might really happen in the Star Dou Forest!

"Xiao Wentian, you guys turn around and leave quickly!"

Ma Hongjun gave orders to Xiao Wentian and the others, after all, these people are all disciples that Yang Ming has recently accepted, they don't look at the face of the monk or the face of the Buddha, he has to take care of them a little bit.

Xiao Wentian and the six looked at the spirit beasts that were gradually tightening the encirclement around them, swallowed secretly, and immediately ran in groups of three towards the road they had just come from.

Star Dou Great Forest is a primeval forest. If you run to other places, it is not easy to leave because the ground is covered with thorny thorns and bushes. If you run between the branches of trees, although it seems possible, it is easy to escape in mid-air. Being a living target and being attacked by spirit beasts is not easy to dodge, so Xiao Wentian and the six of them clearly knew in their hearts that it would be best to escape separately, but they had no choice but to bite the bullet and go together.

Seeing these people leave, several millennium-level spirit beasts exchanged glances, roared several times in low voices, apparently communicating with each other in the language of spirit beasts, and quickly reached a consensus.

"This human team must not be allowed to leave the Star Dou Forest!"

"My lord is still recuperating in the core area, don't let humans disturb you!"

If Ma Hongjun knew the language of soul beasts, he would have learned a major event related to the battle of the Star Dou Great Forest from a few short sentences in them.

It's a pity that the language of soul beasts is a very partial subject. Although there are some insightful people in the world of soul masters who try to record the language of soul beasts and organize them into a book, because of the large amount of work involved in this subject, it has been in the middle of nowhere. In the state of being stranded, there are only sporadic records of the languages ​​of some common spirit beasts. Even the master Yu Xiaogang, who was known as a knowledgeable master back then, didn't know much about it.

"Aww!"

A silver moon wolf raised its head and howled, with a desolate voice, sending the message from afar.

"Not good! These guys are calling for help!"

Seeing this, Ma Hongjun's complexion changed slightly.

He has never eaten pork and has seen pork before. He naturally knows that in this situation, the other party is asking for help from the surrounding soul beasts when he knows he is invincible. If Luo's 100,000-year-old beast came, not only would he not be able to protect himself, but he might also compromise the safety of the camp where the vanguard army was stationed 20 kilometers away.

"You soul beasts, court death!"

Thinking of the possibility of bringing disaster to his subordinates as a general for the first time, Ma Hongjun's eyes flashed with anger from shame, and then his murderous intent surged, a pair of phoenix wings spread out behind him, bursting out flaming feathers Feather, forming a dense shower of meteor fire in mid-air.

The damage range of this soul skill is very large, covering a radius of 200 meters. In addition, Ma Hongjun can fly in the air, which is a big advantage. Airborne precision strikes.

The silver moon wolf that was calling for its little friends planned to dive into the dense forest to avoid the meteor fire rain above its head, but Ma Hongjun hated it very deeply. In a hundred meteor fire rains, there were sixty Sent to the location where it was hiding, it took less than a cup of tea, and after a series of roars that shook the earth, the area where the Silver Moon Wolf was hiding was directly razed to scorched earth.
