In the endless forest, a man-made highway appeared. An off-road vehicle drove fast on the highway and soon reached the end of the highway.
The road ahead was no longer suitable for the car to continue driving forward, so the people in the car immediately got off and prepared to move forward on foot.
After the door opened, two men and two women got out of the car. These people were Ji Xiaoxiao, Wang Chao, Sun Bin, and Cheng Ling.
Originally, they followed a construction team to protect the construction team's personnel to repair the road normally.
But not long ago, their team protecting the construction team received an order from their superiors that they would not continue to protect the construction team for the next few days.
The reason is also clear. Not long ago, we launched a surprise attack on the army of pig-headed people outside the forest, and they were scattered and fled.
This operation has yielded very rich results, effectively attacking the harassment of the pig-headed people on their own side.
However, in case they would launch a crazy revenge against us in the next few days, the relevant leaders held a meeting and discussed it, and decided to stop the construction teams for a few days to see what happened next. Take action again.
The investigator team protecting each road construction team took advantage of the construction team's lack of time to continue construction in the past few days, and went to the surrounding area to investigate.
"I didn't expect our side to launch a surprise attack on the army of pig-headed people outside the forest, and harvested very big results." Wang Chao said with a smile.
"At least 500 pig-headed people were wiped out in this surprise attack. The others fled, and there should not be many people who can be gathered in the end." Sun Bin agreed.
"It's a pity I couldn't participate in this operation, otherwise, I would have to kill a few pig-headed people." Cheng Ling said.
"You medic, stay behind for a while! Leave the battle to us." Wang Chao glanced at Zhang Chengling, who was full of fighting spirit, and said.
"What's wrong with the medics? It's not like the medics can't fight." Cheng Ling retorted.
"Medical soldiers can fight, but compared to fighting, your role is more effective in treating the wounded." Wang Chao said.
"That being said, I will not give up participating in the war." Cheng Ling insisted.
"You..." Wang Chao wanted to say something else, but at this time, Ji Xiaoxiao said, "Okay, don't say it anymore, don't start arguing again.
Don't talk about pig-headed people anymore, let's quickly finish the task assigned by our superiors today. "
Afterwards, Ji Xiaoxiao and his party left the flat road and stepped into the rugged mountain road ahead.
After the road has been repaired to this section, it will continue to be repaired. As for the situation of the road ahead, it is necessary to investigate in advance, so as to provide convenience for the construction team to build the road next.
The group went all the way, collecting information about this place where no one has been before.
Time passed quickly, and soon it was noon, and the sun hung high above the heads of the group.
Ahead is a lake with an area of hundreds of acres, and the occasional wind will raise ripples on the lake.
"The scenery here is good!" Cheng Ling said with a smile when he saw the lake scene in front of him. The look that had been a little tired from walking along the way was relieved a lot.
"If the road is to be built in this direction, it needs to be built around this lake," Sun Bin said.
"It's natural. It's impossible to build a bridge over it. After all, this is not a Blue Star." Wang Chao said.
Ji Xiaoxiao looked around and did not perceive a creature with psionic fluctuations hidden in the dark, and then she said to her companions.
"We've also been busy all morning, looking for a place to eat something, and then continue to survey the front..."
The three of Wang Chao nodded, then discussed it, and found an open place not far from the lake as a resting place for lunch.
There is a piece of grass growing by the lake, and the growth is very vigorous. You can lie down directly, so a group of four sat on the ground, and then took out food from the backpack.
All I eat are convenient fast food. Although I can cook with a fire, I came out this time for investigation and I need to hurry up, so I just eat these things directly.
Just as Ji Xiaoxiao and his party were eating lunch comfortably, a creature at the bottom of the lake slowly opened its eyes, and then looked towards the shore of the lake.
The group of Ji Xiaoxiao who were eating was chatting while eating. When they almost finished their lunch, Ji Xiaoxiao frowned and looked into the lake not far away.
Noticing the change in the expression on Ji Xiaoxiao's face, Wang Chao and the others also looked into the lake, and then Wang Chao also frowned.
Because of their limited strength, Sun Bin and Cheng Ling didn't notice anything unusual.
"Something is coming." Ji Xiaoxiao said.
"Before, I was also surprised that there are no wild animals in such a beautiful place. Some of them are too unreasonable. It turns out that the alien beasts are hiding in the lake!" Wang Chao said.
Sun Bin and Cheng Ling, who had not sensed the creatures in the lake, heard what their two companions said, and they didn't need to sense anymore. They immediately packed up the unfinished food, stuffed it all into their bags, and took it. A weapon set aside.
When Ji Xiaoxiao and the four were ready to fight, dense ripples rippled on the calm lake, and then a huge splash of water rose.
Immediately afterwards, a beast that looked like a buffalo emerged from the water.
This alien beast was more than three meters long and looked like a buffalo on the Blue Star, but it had fish gills on both sides of its head.
"Roar." The buffalo beast with fish gills roared at Ji Xiaoxiao and the others.
"In the early stage of the third stage, there are such alien beasts in this place?" Sun Bin said.
The reason why he said this is because according to the data collected by the previous reconnaissance team, the strongest alien beast in this area is also the peak of the second-order, and now a strange beast of the third-order early stage suddenly appears, which does not match the data they collected. .
"The psionic energy fluctuations on his body are not particularly strong in the early stage of the third stage. It should be not long after he broke through to the early stage of the third stage." Wang Chao sensed the psionic energy emanating from the buffalo animal with fish gills. fluctuated, said.
Sun Bin nodded, according to what Wang Chao said, it was reasonable.
"This guy hasn't come ashore, and we can't go into the water to deal with it. We have to find a way to bring it to the shore, so that it can be killed." Cheng Ling looked at the buffalo with gills that kept roaring. The beast said.
As for this alien beast in the early stage of the third-order living in the lake, from the moment he appeared, Ji Xiaoxiao and the three decided to kill it.
Because next, the construction team will build a road in this direction, and the road will bypass this lake.
And there is an alien beast in the early stage of the third stage living in the lake, which will pose a big threat to the construction team.
Even if it didn't harass the construction team while the road was being built, it would be very troublesome if there were vehicles coming and going after the road was repaired, and he jumped out to attack the passing vehicles.
For the sake of unnecessary trouble in the future, it was destined that this alien beast of the third stage had to be eliminated.
"call out"
Ji Xiaoxiao raised her right hand and slapped the buffalo beast with gills in the water, and then a whirlwind with little lethality shot out of her hand, hitting the opponent directly.
The buffalo beast with fish gills that kept roaring couldn't dodge in time, and was directly hit by the ability played by Ji Xiaoxiao.
Because this attack is not very powerful, it was just dizzy, but this attack also aroused the anger of the alien beast.
As Cheng Ling said just now, the alien beast is difficult to deal with in the lake and needs to be brought to the shore. Therefore, after the buffalo alien beast with fish gills attacked by Ji Xiaoxiao was provoked, he immediately turned to the line on the shore. The four rushed over.
The water splashed, and the buffalo beast with gills that landed from the lake immediately attacked the weakest Cheng Ling.
Picking persimmons softly is the most normal choice for alien beasts.
However, the buffalo beast with fish gills chose to attack Cheng Ling, naturally it was impossible to succeed.
Because the other three were not paper tigers, how could they watch Cheng Ling being attacked by a buffalo animal with fish gills.
Sun Bin took the lead and stood in front of Cheng Ling. A pale golden aura appeared on his body. After using the supernatural power, his strength increased many times. Then he stretched out his hands and grabbed the buffalo with fish gills that was charging head on. The two horns of the beast.
With his own brute force, he just slowed down the pace of the opponent's impact.
However, the buffalo beast with fish gills is a first-order third-order beast after all. With Sun Bin's peak second-order strength, hindering its attack momentum is already the limit of what he can do.
Sun Bin also knew this, so he immediately let go of his hand and quickly backed away.
After Sun Bin pushed away, Wang Chao immediately followed to fill up the position, and attacked the buffalo beast with fish gills that was about to charge again.
The spirit weapon long sword with pale golden aura emerged, and it slashed towards the buffalo monster with fish gills. Facing the fierce attack of the enemy, the buffalo monster with fish gills immediately twisted its head and used its sharp horns to attack. withstand.
"Chong..."
The sound of metal colliding came from the place where the spiritual weapon long sword and the horns contacted. Wang Chao looked at the horns of the buffalo animal with fish gills in surprise.
The long sword of the spiritual weapon infused with spiritual energy, slashed on the horns, did not cause even the slightest wound, which is somewhat rare.
"The two horns of this alien beast should be good psionic materials..."
After fighting against the buffalo with fish gills, Sun Bin took a few steps back, turned his head and said to his companion.
And as soon as his voice fell, a tall figure quickly passed by him.
"Our task today is to survey this area, collect relevant information, and prepare for the construction team to build the road next. We need a quick solution..." Ji Xiaoxiao rushed towards the buffalo with fish gills, while facing Wang Chao said.
Wang Chao also knew that he had a task at hand, and it was not easy to continue to waste time with the buffalo beast with fish gills, so he immediately followed.
Ji Xiaoxiao, who was stronger than the buffalo animal with fish gills, plus Wang Chao, under the onslaught of two third-order cultivators, the fierce buffalo animal with fish gills was immediately defeated, and then Ji Xiaoxiao one The sword chopped off the head.
"boom."
The buffalo alien beast with fish gills that was separated from its head fell to the ground with a bang, and blood rushed out, and soon a pool of blood was formed in the rest, and the surrounding grass was dyed red.
Due to the terrain, the blood of the buffalo animal with fish gills also fell into the lake water. Soon, a small piece of water on the shore of the lake was dyed red just like the grass on the shore.
Ji Xiaoxiao and his party of four on the shore are going to cut off the two horns of the buffalo with gills, find a place to dig a hole and bury it, and take it back when they come back.
I didn't choose to carry it with me because it was inconvenient to carry the two horns on my body.
Their main task is to survey this area, and it will take a lot of time to carry the inconvenient things on their bodies.
A pit was dug on the shore of the lake, and two blood-stained horns were placed in the pit and buried with soil.
After doing this, Sun Bin clapped the dirt on his hands, and then went to the shore of the lake to wash his hands.
Suddenly, there was a dense noise on the lake in the distance.
"Gollum, Gollum..."
Sun Bin, who was washing his hands, stood up, shook off the water stains on his hands, and looked at the place where the sound was heard in the distance.
Ji Xiaoxiao and the three also noticed the movement in the lake at this time and came to Sun Bin's side.
"There are so many psychic energy fluctuations." This time, even Cheng Ling could sense the psychic energy fluctuations in the lake, so the strength of these creatures in the lake would not be too strong.
"A lot!" Sun Bin said.
"About thirty." Ji Xiaoxiao sensed the number of creatures in the lake and said.
"The strength is not strong, it is easy to solve." Wang Chao said.
Just as Ji Xiaoxiao and the four of them were talking, one after another, the most powerful buffalo beasts with fish gills surfaced.
The buffalo beast with fish gills that Ji Xiaoxiao and the four of them killed earlier was the boss of these beasts.
The blood of the buffalo alien beast with fish gills that had the strength of the third stage and the fish gills flowed into the lake.
"Roar…"
Angry roars came from the mouths of these alien beasts one after another. Facing these alien beasts that were generally not strong, Ji Xiaoxiao and the four were very calm.
Just when they thought that these alien beasts were going to rush over to avenge their boss, they ran away when they saw these alien beasts.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."
These alien beasts living in the water swim very fast, and they swam to the other side of the bank at once, then climbed ashore, fled far away, and disappeared into the forest after a while.
"These alien beasts have self-knowledge!" Wang Chao said.
Sun Bin and Cheng Ling nodded, and they were not surprised that these beasts escaped.
After all, the bosses who have the strength of the third stage have been killed, and they are not strong themselves. They rushed up to seek revenge on the enemy, which would undoubtedly be dead in vain, so the best choice is to choose to turn around and run away.
"Okay, the matter is resolved, let's leave here and continue to investigate ahead!" Ji Xiaoxiao said.
Afterwards, the group of four who passed through this episode left the lake shore and continued their mission.
