Chapter 662: Monster Appears
"He did quite well, his combat record is very good, but he has disappeared for many years." Old Zhou laughed, "In this line of work, isn't it normal for people to come and go?"
He Lingchuan felt slightly relieved after hearing this.
Hu Bin appeared suddenly before, and was alone, so he was a bit vigilant. Hu Bin claimed to be a Ke family hunter, but the Ke family team was wiped out, and no one could testify for him.
That identity could be made up however one wanted, right? He Lingchuan knew he had many enemies in Lingxu City; they might not be convenient to make a move in the city, but it might not be the case in this wild land.
Why is the Grass Sea hunt a grand event loved by people? Because it is full of uncertainties, and even the most experienced old birds can accidentally flip the car.
Although it has been held for hundreds of years, there are casualties in every session, not as easy as a spring outing.
This is the Demon Kingdom, after all, and the people of the Demon Kingdom have wild temperaments and don't like things to remain unchanged.
With variables and dark horses, it is interesting and worth betting on.
Speaking of people who disappeared after entering the Fu Realm, I don't know how many there have been over the years.
Lingxu City strictly forbids anyone with a rank above the Mobile Corps Commander from entering the Eye of the Storm, which also has this consideration.
Now that he confirmed Hu Bin's identity from Old Zhou, He Lingchuan was somewhat relieved—
Unless these two colluded beforehand.
Hmm, doesn't look like it.
He was calculating when Hu Bin, not far away, stared at the sand on the ground: "Something is coming."
The sand jumped slightly.
He Lingchuan also felt a slight tremor from the ground.
Hu Bin simply lay on the ground and listened carefully: "Coming here, there are many... it's a beast group!"
"Which direction?"
Hu Bin listened for another dozen breaths, and then pointed to the northeast: "Coming from there!"
The camp immediately sounded a long whistle, dense and harsh.
When everyone heard it, they said it was time to retreat.
Most of the people here had experienced beast tides, and there were few stubborn ones. They lowered their heads and packed up their tents, moving very quickly.
Since the beast group was moving from northeast to southwest, they should avoid it to the southeast.
Just after the crowd collectively moved more than two hundred zhang, dust was indeed rolling in the northeast direction, followed by thousands of horses galloping!
Whether in the human world or the Fu Realm, He Lingchuan rarely saw such a large-scale beast group migration, with numbers exceeding five hundred. Regardless of appearance or body size, every Danube beast was running with all its might.
Running with style and momentum.
They swept past the original camp like the wind, trampling with iron hooves, and continued to the southwest, leaving only a large gray haze in place.
Everyone stood on the hill and felt a lingering fear; it was fortunate they retreated in time, otherwise they would have become ghosts under the hooves.
"Are these Danube beasts crazy?" Someone couldn't believe it, "Usually it's hard to find one, now why are they all piling up?"
The Eye of the Storm has been open for ten days, and the Danube beasts around the two-realm passage have basically been cleared out. How many floating stones can be harvested in the next twenty days depends entirely on luck. Anyway, the first five days determine the outcome, and everyone is trying their best to collect spoils for the rest of the time.
The Fu Realm is barren, and Danube beasts are relatively scattered.
"Something is gathering them, and the deterrent power to the Danube beasts is far stronger than us." Hu Bin suddenly pointed to the camp, "Look, maybe it's those two things!"
Dust was flying after the beast group, and two figures were looming in the haze, not knowing whether they were bringing up the rear or following behind.
That creature was about a zhang long, with a strange appearance. In He Lingchuan's eyes, it actually looked a bit like a dinosaur, with short forelimbs, long hind limbs, and a long tail.
But their bodies were slender, and they could twist their spines like snakes, and their shoulder joints were particularly flexible, with the range of motion of their forelimbs exceeding two hundred degrees.
If you look from directly above, their upper bodies are actually a little like humans, especially with wider shoulders.
These two monsters move on all fours, and can also stand on their hind legs.
The most special thing is that they have two tufts of short hair on their foreheads.
You know, creatures in the Fu Realm have no hair.
Hunters on the side asked each other what this was, but no one knew. Even old hunters like Old Zhou and Hu Bin shook their heads, indicating they were ill-informed.
Someone even muttered: "Is this thing a monster?"
He Lingchuan even thought of Dong Rui's demon puppets, which also looked so twisted.
These two monsters seemed to have seen the humans and monsters on the hill, but had no interest. It happened that a Danube beast rushed out from somewhere, rushing toward the camp foolishly.
The haze was too big, and it might be a bit nearsighted. It didn't discover the figures of the two monsters until it was close, and it screamed in terror, suddenly braking hard.
It came to a face-brake on the ground, but it couldn't care less, climbed up and turned to run, even slipping twice.
It can be seen that this thing is extremely terrifying to it.
He Lingchuan immediately remembered the planarians that didn't dare to approach earlier. They didn't even dare to touch the road the monster walked on.
This kind of coercion is not possessed by ordinary Danube beasts.
Even if the body size of the two monsters doesn't look amazing.
Now, this Danube beast rushed toward He Lingchuan's direction.
"Damn it!" Everyone cursed.
However, the two dinosaur-like monsters didn't give it this opportunity, and one of them suddenly opened its mouth and spat out a white light, accurately hitting the Danube beast's hind leg.
The Danube beast's body sank, and it continued to run for a few steps, but its speed became slower and slower.
He Lingchuan saw with his own eyes that a thin layer of white frost condensed on its leg, and then spread to half of its body...
In less than two breaths, the Danube beast was frozen in the second half, leaving only the forelimbs struggling to dig the ground, and turning its head and screaming incessantly.
The two monsters walked over unhurriedly and began to enjoy the big meal.
Eating alive.
Everyone stood on the hill, seeing the wailing and blood flying below, silent for a while.
Only Hu Bin patted He Lingchuan on the back, reminding him: "Frost spray, two breaths to defeat the enemy. The footprints you discovered earlier might have been left by them."
He Lingchuan watched intently.
He didn't know how capable the Frost Silver Beast was, but he could see that the ice-cold divine power of these two monsters was extraordinarily powerful.
The temperature on the flat ground of the Fu Realm is also more than ten degrees below zero. Danube beasts without warm fur can move freely here, and their cold resistance has already exceeded human creatures.
But the frost spray of these two monsters froze most of it within two breaths of hitting the target, and the remaining part was just for convenience of eating, otherwise, freezing it completely wasn't a difficult task.
From the reaction of the Danube beast seeing them, it was definitely encountering a natural enemy.
That is to say, besides the Frost Silver Beast, there is now one more kind of monster in the Fu Realm that is proficient in frost spray?
These two monsters were particularly wasteful, only gnawing off the Danube beast's brain, floating stones, and heart, and then abandoned the corpse and went away.
Yes, there was a large group of running food in front, why bother with the rough meat here? Everyone on the hill sighed and sighed: "Why do these things also grab floating stones with us?"
It's strange to say, they are all experienced hunters, but they have no idea of attacking these two monsters.
It's as if their sixth sense told them to stay away, this thing they couldn't afford to provoke.
"Maybe floating stones can help them move nimbly." Hu Bin said solemnly, "By the way, this kind of call, I also heard it under the Frost Silver Beast's peak fourteen years ago."
The two monsters made a "Kuang Kuang" sound while running, like knocking on a bamboo clapper.
It turns out that the movement the camp crowd heard earlier was made by them?
He Lingchuan's heart moved when he heard this.
Fourteen years ago, the Frost Silver Beast suddenly left the mountain peak where it was hiding and came to the flat ground, and it happened that this kind of monster was also nearby.
Is it a coincidence?
"What to do now?"
Everyone spoke at once, but several team leaders added up, and finally all said they wanted to follow the beast tide.
The reason is also very simple: the Danube beasts nearby were all driven to the southwest by those two monsters, and they couldn't hunt floating stones in other directions, so they could only go to the southwest to see if they could share a cup of soup and pick up some leaks.
Hu Bin interrupted: "Going further southwest, that's the territory of the Thunder-Qing giant beast, right?"
As soon as they came out of the Eye of the Storm, the west was the territory of the Thunder-Qing giant beast. And the beast tide was migrating from northeast to southwest, in other words, it was heading toward the territory of the Thunder-Qing giant beast.
"Exactly."
"If the beast tide is really driven by them, then these two guys are very intelligent." Hu Bin asked, "What do they want to do?"
Lingxu City has been hunting in the Fu Realm for hundreds of years, and it can be affirmed that most monsters here have moving IQs, generally relying on strong physiques and talents to survive.
Knowing how to drive beast groups to achieve their goals is already a very high-level calculation.
He Lingchuan added: "How will the Thunder-Qing giant beast react? Can this beast tide pose a threat to it?"
"I heard that the Thunder-Qing giant beast is asleep most of the time and hasn't been seen for many years." Old Zhou answered, "Two hundred years ago, a team broke into its territory, I don't know how they provoked it. It is said that those forty or fifty people were wiped out on the spot, and were not left with any slag by a few thunderbolts. But if it's such a huge beast tide... I don't know if it can block it."
Someone else said: "The Danube beasts in the Thunder-Qing beast territory will obey its orders. This is going to be lively."
That's why hunters wanted to follow and see if they could be the fisherman.
Wealth is sought in danger, and there is no lack of bold desperadoes among those who enter the Fu Realm to hunt.
After the crowd finished discussing, they followed the beast tide and headed southwest.
Several more teams joined along the way, and in the end, the number of hunters participating in the joint action exceeded fifty.
You know, the starting teams of the Grass Sea hunt were sixty teams, totaling six hundred people.
Team Leader Zhou asked everyone to take off their masks to show their sincerity in joining the army, and everyone did so without exception.
This is also an unwritten rule. If you want to take joint action in the Fu Realm, you have to take off your mask, so as not to have people secretly doing bad things.
Wearing a mask, people easily have evil intentions.
He Lingchuan also followed the crowd toward the southwest. His Mount Xu action needed to use the Frost Pill, but this thing grew on the Frost Silver Beast. He came to this camp earlier, thinking that the one attacking the Danube beast would be a mutated Frost Silver Beast.
However, it was not.
