Chapter 363 The moon is gone
After half a day, Xu Ling finally crossed the territory of the deer-faced monster and the steel-armored rhinoceros King, but only broke through the first layer of defense.
To be precise, this cannot be regarded as a line of defense, because the purpose of the monster is not to blockade. So far, Xu Ling didn't know why they came to Jiaoma City at the same time.
In any case, he has now reached the rear of the Deer-faced Monster's territory and entered an unknown area
Yes, in the previous reconnaissance operation, no one had arrived at Xu Ling's current position. Everyone had only stared at this side with a telescope in the distance. They could know that there was a surround of monsters here, which was judged purely by rich experience.
The problem now is that Xu Ling doesn’t know what the beast king on this level is, but after discussion by a number of professionals, he believes that its class should be around the eighth to nineth level.
For this reason, the road map in his hand was more vague than before, with only one route left, and there was no way to use what kind of exercises to use. After all, unknown things cannot be planned, and the real test is from now on.
Xu Ling followed the route plan and came to a canyon with a long name. He wanted to cross from the bottom. If there was no error in the judgment, he would basically be able to escape from the encirclement.
Walking like this may sound a bit dangerous, after all, the bottom terrain is low and narrow, which is not conducive to escape, but the fact is not the case, because monsters are not wild beasts, they can judge potential dangers and instinctively do not want to approach this adverse terrain.
So Xu Ling wanted to take advantage of this to make the dark under the light, and the most dangerous place is the safest.
The canyon is very narrow, with only more than ten meters apart between the cliffs on both sides. Looking up from below, you can only glimpse the night sky with the full moon hanging from a crack, but the crack is a bit wide.
The terrain here is low and dark and humid. Fortunately, the temperature under the snowfield is not low, and it is not cold winter now, otherwise the physical energy consumption will be increased to a higher level.
Halfway through the way, Xu Ling felt that his energy was consumed a little too much. After all, after entering the encirclement of the monster, he was covered with the wind steps almost throughout the journey. Only when he occasionally arrived at a safe area could he remove his skills and take a rest.
Seeing that there were no monsters everywhere, he found a corner and squatted down to rest.
"Sure enough, there are not many monsters in the canyon."
While thinking, he took out the small medicine bottle Chu Xiaojun gave him.
After putting the three pills into your mouth, you first felt a fire rushing down, like a cup of 60-degree strong wine, but in just a moment, the heat spreads throughout your body and pours into every meridian. The heat becomes gentler, and the energy in your body immediately begins to revive significantly.
But this thing also has obvious side effects.
After eating it, I feel sorry for it.
Xu Ling knew very well how expensive such pills were. They were not something that ordinary people could refine. The materials used must be collected from the eighth and nineth level monsters, which is only possible for people like Chu Xiaojun to take advantage of.
However, if the task can be completed, everything is worth it. The lives of thousands of people in the Miracle City are placed in Xu Ling's hands. If they fail to successfully go to Curry Wush to report to help, they can only go to fight with a large circle of monsters around them.
But Xu Ling, who has been walking along the way, is even more certain that this kind of beast tide will definitely not be able to compete with the armed forces in underground cities.
After a little rest, he set out again. This time he did not rush to use the Qifeng Step, because he felt that the Beast King in this area seemed to be a lazy person and did not bring many younger brothers here.
Since entering the canyon, I have not encountered many groups of monsters.
Occasionally, I encounter two or three low-level monsters that are single, without groups, and no middle and high-level monsters. They can be solved easily, and there is no need to consume much energy.
If you continue like this, you will not be able to leave the canyon soon, and then take a little bit of a path to reach the way you came. The best news is that since the nearby monsters were brought to the vicinity by several beast kings, it means that once you leave the encirclement, the density of the monsters will be greatly reduced, and you may not even encounter them.
Xu Ling's mood suddenly improved. Unexpectedly, everyone felt that the encirclement of monsters, which was like a natural barrier, was successfully broken through.
He looked up at the sky. A bright moon hangs high in the night sky, illuminating the night light slightly, making the road ahead easier. "Five drops of the moon are round and sixteen, it's a chubby~"
Xu Ling even hummed a song in his heart, and continued to run forward in the moonlight.
"Um?'
Suddenly, he felt his vision dim, "Where is my moon?"
The bright moon, which was originally as bright as a jade plate, disappeared.
Xu Ling felt a little shocked and suddenly felt something was wrong. Although he didn't know what was going on, he immediately started the storm step.
In the area where monsters gather, abnormalities are equivalent to danger, and you should not be lucky.
While his body was vanishing, he looked up again and found good news and bad news this time.
The good news is that the moon did not disappear for some strange reason, it was just blocked.
The bad news is that what blocks it is a monster
An extremely thick python lies above the canyon. At this time, from Xu Ling's perspective, you can see a huge head hanging between the cliffs on both sides of the canyon, thus blocking the moonlight shot from the middle.
Super level monster.
Xu Ling realized what he was encountering. The bodies of the beast kings at the tenth level or even higher level would be extremely huge, which was completely disproportionate to the size growth between the first level and the ninth level.
Compared with this thing, the red and black anaconda I encountered before is a yellow eel or an earthworm at best.
The giant's head continued to sink, peeking at the bottom from between the two cliffs.
Xu Ling didn't know if it was because he discovered him or was planning to come down and see it on a whim, but he didn't dare to move anymore. At this time, once there was a slight sound or a little chaotic breath, he would be gone.
If it was a level 7 or eighth level monster, he might also think of fighting with the other party with the short sword given by Chu Xiaojun, but the thing in front of him was obviously not something he could shake. He didn't need to consider any possibility of confrontation at all, just dodge.
The giant thing was still exploring the bottom of the canyon, and the originally not-wide space was directly stuffed by its body on its head and neck.
Xu Ling used extremely slow movements to stick to the cliff next to him, avoiding the sudden uninvited guests as much as possible.
However, the head that was enough to fill the canyon was still lowering its height, and it seemed to be getting closer and closer to me.
The saliva at the giant snake's mouth fell to the ground, just a small drop to itself, but to Xu Ling's eyes, it looked like a big basin, pouring it on the ground with a rush.
"Not poisonous, slightly acidic."
Xu Ling thought to himself, but felt even more uncomfortable.
Because the characteristics of monsters are also regular, snakes with scarce attack methods often have highly toxic body fluids. If they are strongly acidic, they can also attack the enemy by spitting them.
However, the saliva of this giant snake is not poisonous and not corrosive, which means it has other means, which are often more terrifying than poison.
However, Xu Ling has a strong psychological quality, and then he thought about it and felt that this was nothing.
"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter whether his lethality is 100 or 200. It doesn't matter to me. My defense is only 10. My heart is waving, and the giant snake's head finally reached the bottom.
Xu Ling stuck to the wall, holding his breath completely, and even slowed down his heart rate under the action of the exercises.
At this time, the blocked moonlight spread again, allowing the giant snake to appear clearly in front of him.
Silver scales, dark pupils, and two horns on their heads.
