Chapter 651 Strange Footprints
"There are three casualties in a team of ten. Is this common in previous years?"
"No, no, there were very few in previous years." said his teammate. "Caohai hunting has been going on for hundreds of years. Each type of Danube beast has its own targeted fighting method, although there are occasionally new variants. Generally speaking, our team It’s not a problem to handle five or six at a time. And—”
He paused: "When encountering a herd of beasts, multiple teams will also cooperate."
Although the participating teams are all competitive in the Eternal World, intelligent creatures know how to adapt. When survival pressure is high or when it is profitable, it is not a problem to cooperate occasionally.
He Lingchuan was helpless: "Just lie down if you encounter a tide of beasts?"
"We usually avoid them." His teammates shook their heads. "We are not stupid. If the herd is too big, we will try to stay away."
"After so many years of hunting in Caohai, the biggest threat to us is the air in Fujie." He smiled bitterly. "Over the years, the majority of people have died of suffocation. Some died while sleeping, and some died because they failed to grab the gargle beads. Suffocated to death.”
"This..." Yes, sleeping in the Fu Realm is a big problem. Who can change their own rinse beads every quarter of an hour while they are asleep?
This all depends on teamwork. Some people sleep and others watch.
He Lingchuan pointed to the short hill and asked them: "What do you think of the situation in front of you?"
The teammates looked at each other, and one of them said: "Occasionally, the beasts will go crazy and chase people."
After all, this is another world. Even if Bega has been farming skillfully for hundreds of years, accidents cannot be completely ruled out.
"What reason?"
"The leading beast is going crazy, or there is something behind the beasts driving it away."
As his teammate said, he drew his knife and dug out the pumice stone. There are too many beast corpses here, and more than half of them have not been dealt with by hunters.
To everyone, this is a treasure.
A giant bull-like Danube beast contributed a pumice stone the size of a cantaloupe. The teammate pushed away the slime on the surface and smiled from ear to ear: "This piece can be counted as at least three levels!"
Fragrance comes for free.
All participating teams must sell the pumice stones they obtained to the official when they return to the human world. The official purchase price is based on a unified price. According to the weight calculation method, a purple pumice weighing one goose egg is the standard unit, which is called a grade.
The pumice stone is like the skin of the Danube beast, the stronger it is, the lighter the color.
He Lingchuan glanced at the pumice stone. It was an irregular cylindrical shape, light purple, and completely transparent. Danube beasts use pumice stones to fight gravity, otherwise they would not be able to grow to such a large size.
While his teammates were cutting up the animal carcass, He Lingchuan suddenly saw the sand at his feet move, as if it was sinking.
"Be careful!" He subconsciously took action, grabbed the man's shoulder, and pulled him back.
As soon as the teammate's body was pulled up, there was a "swish" sound from the ground, and a planarian suddenly jumped out!
Its body is thicker than a large tire. Although it does not have long legs, the force of its jump is not weak at all. The six-foot-long body directly extends four feet, and its mouth is also stretched to the maximum.
If your teammates stay where they are, they will probably be swallowed whole by it!
At this moment, He Lingchuan could see its snout clearly.
It turns out that this guy has ten rows of fine teeth in his mouth, distributed in a spiral shape, extending from the mouth to the digestive tract. As long as it twists its body once, the skin and flesh of the prey it bites will be evenly cut and piled by the saw teeth, and sent directly into its belly!
It can be said that it reaches your stomach in one step.
When it opens its mouth wide, the outermost teeth protrude outwards, and when it closes its mouth, it retracts inward, making it almost impossible for prey to escape.
He Lingchuan took action for the first time in the Fu Realm. After all, he miscalculated the strength and speed, and the arrest was far less timely than usual.
Besides, the weight of his teammates is not more than 100 kilograms, but upwards of 500 kilograms.
As a result, the planarian did not swallow the whole person, but turned his head and bit his leg!
The man yelled "Ah", and his calf immediately felt the gentle contact of the planarian's serrated teeth.
It's hard to get out of being sucked into this thing.
He Lingchuan pulled out Fusheng with his backhand and swung the knife out.
The cold light of the blade flashed in the air, and the planarian's head was cut in half.
Green slurry splattered.
The cutting feeling is also very unpleasant, it really feels like cutting a tire, hard and tough.
It seems that all creatures in the Buddha Realm feed on minerals and mud, and their skin and flesh are not soft to begin with.
He Lingchuan used the protective aura, otherwise the physalicy would be sprayed on his face and it would be rotten.
The planarian neighed in pain, and two small pits suddenly sank in the sand.
Two more planarians emerged and attacked everyone.
He Lingchuan had quick eyesight and threw the injured person directly onto the nearby boulder.
These monsters can hide under the sand, but they can't hide under the rocks, right?
A planarian shot towards him.
When this thing comes out of the ground to attack, it does look like a spring, fast and steady. However, He Lingchuan was already on guard. A Yan Hui dodged and he was already two feet away.
Combat is the quickest way to adapt to local gravity.
He still felt heavy in his limbs, but not as disoriented as at first. The best thing is that Fu Sheng is as light as nothing in his hands, more flexible than his own arms.
In the Evian world, it performs really well.
Before He Lingchuan could stand firm, he fired a sleeve arrow with his backhand.
The speed of the short arrows shot out was a little slower than in the human world. This was probably because the arrow body became heavier and was no longer the parameters that Li Qingge had carefully prepared.
But it didn't matter, the arrow still penetrated the planarian's body hard.
It was about to pounce on another Chiyan man. He Lingchuan grabbed the spider rope and pulled it aside, swinging it towards the third planarian like a windmill.
The two monsters collided and twisted on the ground for a long time.
The other two teammates also rushed forward, raining down knives.
All three monsters were injured, so they hissed and found a hole to crawl into.
He Lingchuan turned around and saw that there were still a few worms around, but they didn't come to bother him. The ones that escaped left several large round holes on the ground, but the surrounding sand slid down and slowly filled the holes.
The injured man had just recovered from the shock, and the team members hurried over to stop the bleeding and remove the poison and bandage him.
"Be careful of excessive joy and sorrow." He Lingchuan shook his head. "Didn't they say that worms don't like human flesh?"
"Maybe it was protecting its food and thought I was going to steal it. This thing has no brains." The wound was disinfected, and the man hissed in pain, "But worms this big are rare."
"Rare?" He Lingchuan laughed at himself, "Am I too lucky?"
"Maybe there are too many animal corpses here, attracting the worm king and worm generals." Another person said, "If the worm king comes, it's not advisable to stay here for long."
"How big is the worm king?"
The other person pointed to the pit and said, "At least three or five times its size, ordinary weapons can't even scratch its skin."
He Lingchuan changed a bead for himself, observed the hill for a while, and suddenly jumped to the ground.
"I just stood here, but the worms behind me didn't come close, why?"
These insects are obviously from the same nest, and they can actually help each other watch. But he stood here, and the worms behind him didn't come over, and they actually hesitated.
Of course, his teammates couldn't answer his questions.
He Lingchuan observed it for a while, pointed at several footprints on the ground and said, "What kind of Danube beast is this?"
These footprints are in a row, each as big as He Lingchuan's foot. The owner should be a four-legged creature, but the footprints are shallow in front and deep in the back, and each has three toes standing side by side, which shows that the center of gravity of this monster is at the back, and it can at least stand half upright.
And there are traces of dragging behind the footprints, maybe a tail?
He Lingchuan doesn't know enough about Danube beasts, and these footprints alone can't tell the problem, but there are two corpses next to the footprints, which are actually frozen into big ice lumps.
One is Danube beast, and the other is human.
He Lingchuan raised the back of the knife and touched it twice, and it made a sound. Obviously, it was frozen from the inside out.
There is no ice and snow on the ground nearby. The two unlucky guys can only be attacked by some kind of magic spell--
or talent.
The three of them came to watch, and then shook their heads, indicating that they couldn't recognize it.
But He Lingchuan looked at the two corpses and had an idea:
"How many species of Danube beasts can use ice magic?"
"I've only heard of Frost Silver Beast."
"I haven't heard of other Danube beasts being good at this magic."
As soon as these words came out, He Lingchuan became interested. His teammate immediately said: "But we can't be sure that these two people were killed by Frost Silver Beast. That monster is too rare and only lives in cold mountains."
As soon as he entered the Fu Realm, the surface temperature was more than ten degrees below zero, and a puff of white steam came out as soon as he opened his mouth to speak. He Lingchuan looked at the mountains in the distance. It was hard to imagine how low the temperature was there.
For Frost Silver Beasts with icy talents, the top of the mountain is indeed a more ideal habitat.
It's no wonder that few people have hunted Frost Pills over the years. Not to mention the difficulty of killing Frost Silver Beasts, just climbing up the mountain is a fatal challenge.
Under this gravity condition, the visitors from the human world already have abnormal heartbeat and blood pressure, and it's hard to walk. They have to climb dangerous peaks and risk their lives to get through the difficulty. Isn't that hard on themselves?
Besides, the density of Danube beasts on the mountain can be greater than that at the foot of the mountain?
In fact, he had purchased a lot of light body talismans before entering the Fu Realm, which has been one of the necessary supplies for hunters for many years. However, ordinary light body talismans can only offset half of the gravity and last for half an hour at most; while the special light body talismans developed for the characteristics of the Fu Realm and completely offset the influence of gravity can only take effect for dozens of breaths at most.
Moreover, the price is not cheap.
Therefore, most hunters basically do not use this kind of talisman in non-emergency situations.
He Lingchuan followed the team to the southwest, asking about the appearance of the Frost Silver Beast.
Unfortunately, everyone has heard of the name of the Frost Silver Beast, but has never seen it.
"The top of the mountain is almost a restricted area. Besides, we don't want to see the Frost Silver Beast."
He Lingchuan pointed to the front and said, "But it seems to have followed the beast tide to the southwest."
If it is really a Frost Silver Beast, why did it leave the safe mountain and run to the ground?
No one present could answer this question.
The wounded had two spiral cuts on his calf, but the wound was not deep. He Lingchuan took out a two-wheeled cart from his storage ring for him to ride, and another teammate pushed him.
Under this kind of gravity, blood would squeeze into the legs, and the wounded should not walk.
Fortunately, the wound was treated in time and the pills were effective. This kind of skin injury can be basically healed in two quarters of an hour at most. Otherwise, He Lingchuan would have someone push him back to the human world.
