In the endless forest, a man-made road appeared. An off-road vehicle drove quickly on the road and soon reached the end of the road.
The road ahead was no longer suitable for the car to drive forward, so the people in the car immediately got out and prepared to go forward on foot.
After the car 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 were following a construction team to protect the construction team members from building roads normally.
But not long ago, their team, which was protecting the construction team, received an order from their superiors, telling them not to continue protecting the construction team for the next few days.
The reason is now clear. Not long ago, we launched a surprise attack on the pig-headed army outside the forest and scattered them into flight.
This operation yielded very fruitful results, effectively combating the pig-headed men's harassment of our own side.
However, in order to prevent them from launching crazy retaliation against us in the next few days, the relevant leaders held a meeting to discuss and decided that the construction teams of each road construction team would stop for a few days to see what happens next.
Take action again.
The team of investigators protecting each road construction team took advantage of the time when the construction teams were not continuing construction in the past few days to conduct surveys in the surrounding area.
"I didn't expect that our side actually launched a surprise attack on the pig-headed army outside the forest, and achieved great results." Wang Chao said with a smile.
"At least five hundred pig-headed men were eliminated in this surprise attack. The others fled in all directions. There should not be many who can be gathered together in the end." Sun Bin agreed.
"It's a pity that I couldn't participate in this operation. Otherwise, I would have killed a few pig-headed men." Cheng Ling said.
"You medic, please stay back a little! 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 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 more. At this time, Ji Xiaoxiao said, "Okay, don't say any more. Don't start a fight again."
Stop talking about the pig-headed man, let’s quickly complete the tasks assigned by our superiors today.”
Afterwards, Ji Xiaoxiao and his group left the flat road and stepped onto the rugged mountain road ahead.
After the highway has been built to this section, it will continue to be built forward. The situation of the road section ahead needs to be surveyed in advance, so as to provide convenience for the construction team to build the road next.
The group of people moved forward, collecting information about this place that no one had ever been to.
Time passed quickly, and soon it was noon, and the sun hung high above the heads of the group of people.
Ahead is a lake covering an area of several hundred acres. The occasional wind will cause ripples on the lake.
"The scenery here is pretty good!" Cheng Ling said with a smile when he saw the lake view in front of him. His expression, which was a little tired from the walk, was relieved a lot.
"If you build a road in this direction, you need to build it around this lake." Sun Bin said.
"This is natural. It is impossible to build a bridge over it. After all, this is not Blue Star." Wang Chao said.
Ji Xiaoxiao inspected the surroundings, but did not sense any creatures with psychic fluctuations hidden in the dark, and then she said to her companions.
"We have been busy all morning, find a place to have something to eat, and then continue to explore ahead..."
Wang Chao and the three of them nodded, then discussed and found an open place not far from the lake as a resting place for lunch.
There were patches of grass growing beside the lake. It grew so vigorously that you could just lie down on it, so a group of four people sat on the ground and took out food from their backpacks.
The food we ate was all convenient fast food. Although we could make a fire to cook, we were mainly out for reconnaissance this time and we needed to hurry up, so we just ate these things directly.
While Ji Xiaoxiao and his group were having lunch comfortably, a creature at the bottom of the lake slowly opened its eyes, and then looked towards the lake shore.
Ji Xiaoxiao and his group were eating and chatting. When they had almost finished 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 other three also looked towards the lake, and then Wang Chao also frowned.
Due to their limited strength, Sun Bin and Cheng Ling did not notice anything unusual.
"Something is coming." Ji Xiaoxiao said.
"I was also surprised before that there were no wild animals in such a beautiful place. It was a bit unreasonable. It turned out that the strange beasts were 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. They no longer needed to sense it. They immediately packed up the uneaten food, stuffed it all into their bags, and took it away.
Weapons set aside.
When Ji Xiaoxiao and the others were ready to take on the challenge, the calm lake surface rippled with dense ripples, and then a huge splash of water rose up.
Immediately afterwards, a strange beast that looked like a buffalo emerged from the water.
This alien beast is more than three meters long and looks exactly like the buffalo on Blue Star, but it has fish gills on both sides of its head.
"Roar." The buffalo beast with fish gills roared at Ji Xiaoxiao and the others.
"At the beginning of the third stage, there is a strange beast with such cultivation 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 the second-level peak. Now a third-level alien beast suddenly appears, which is inconsistent with the data they collected.
.
"The spiritual energy fluctuations on his body are not particularly strong in the early stage of the third stage. It should have just broken through to the early stage of the third stage." Wang Chao sensed the spiritual energy emanating from the buffalo beast with fish gills.
Fluctuation, said.
Sun Bin nodded. According to what Wang Chao said, it makes sense.
"This guy hasn't come ashore, so we can't go into the water to deal with it. We have to find a way to lure it to the shore so that we can kill it." Cheng Ling looked at the buffalo with fish gills that kept roaring.
The alien beast said.
Regarding this third-stage alien beast living in the lake, from the moment it appeared, Ji Xiaoxiao and the others decided to kill it.
Because next, the construction team will build a road in this direction, and the road will bypass the lake.
There is a third-stage alien beast living in the lake, which will pose a considerable threat to the construction team.
Even if it does not harass the construction team during the road construction process, if after the road is repaired and there are vehicles coming and going, and he jumps out and attacks the passing vehicles, it will be a very big trouble.
In order to cause unnecessary trouble in the future, it is destined that this third-stage alien beast must be eliminated.
"call out"
Ji Xiaoxiao raised her right hand and slapped the buffalo beast with fish gills in the water, and then a not very lethal whirlwind shot out of her hand, hitting the opponent directly.
"boom."
The buffalo beast with gills that kept roaring couldn't dodge and was directly hit by Ji Xiaoxiao's superpower.
Because this attack was not very powerful, it was only hit 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 it needs to be led to the shore. Therefore, the buffalo alien beast with fish gills that was attacked by Ji Xiaoxiao was aroused and angered, and immediately moved toward a group of people on the shore.
Four people rushed over.
The water splashed, and the buffalo beast with fish gills that came ashore from the lake immediately launched an attack on Cheng Ling, who was the weakest.
Picking the persimmon soft and pinching it is the most normal choice for exotic animals.
However, if the buffalo beast with fish gills chooses to attack Cheng Ling, it is naturally impossible to succeed.
Because the other three people were not paper tigers, how could they watch Cheng Ling being attacked by the buffalo beast with fish gills.
Sun Bin took the lead and stood in front of Cheng Ling. A light golden aura appeared on his body. After using his supernatural power, his strength increased many times. Then he stretched out his hands and grabbed the oncoming buffalo alien with fish gills.
The two horns of the beast.
Relying on his own brute strength, he managed to slow down the pace of the opponent's attack.
However, the buffalo beast with fish gills was, after all, an early-stage third-level beast. With Sun Bin's peak second-level strength, hindering its attack momentum was the limit of what he could do.
Sun Bin also knew this, so he immediately let go of his hand and quickly retreated.
After Sun Bin pushed away, Wang Chao immediately followed up to take over his position and attacked the buffalo beast with gills that was about to charge again.
The long sword, a spiritual weapon with a light golden aura, slashed towards the buffalo beast with fish gills. Facing the enemy's ferocious attack, the buffalo beast with fish gills immediately twisted its head and used its sharp horns to attack.
withstand.
"Qiang..."
The sound of metal colliding came from the place where the long sword of the spiritual weapon came into contact with the horns. Wang Chao looked at the horns of the buffalo beast with fish gills in surprise.
The long sword, a spiritual weapon imbued with psychic energy, was struck on the horn of an ox without causing even a trace of a wound. This was somewhat rare.
"The two horns of this strange beast should be good psychic materials..."
After Sun Bin exchanged moves with the buffalo beast with fish gills, he took a few steps back and turned to his companions.
As soon as he finished speaking, a tall figure quickly passed by him.
"Our task today is to survey this area, collect relevant information, and prepare for the next construction team to build the road. We need to make a quick decision..." Ji Xiaoxiao rushed towards the buffalo beast with fish gills and said to Wang
Chao said.
Wang Chao also knew that he had a mission and could not continue to waste time with the buffalo beast with fish gills, so he immediately followed him.
Ji Xiaoxiao, who was already stronger than the water buffalo beast with fish gills, and Wang Chao, under the fierce attack of two third-level practitioners, the fierce water buffalo beast with fish gills was immediately defeated, and then was beaten by Ji Xiaoxiao
The sword cut off the head.
"boom."
The buffalo beast with fish gills that was separated from its body and head fell to the ground with a crash, blood pouring out, and soon a pool of blood was formed on the left side, dyeing the surrounding grass red.
Due to the terrain, the blood from the buffalo beast with gills also fell into the lake. Soon, a small area of water on the shore of the lake was dyed red like the grass on the shore.
On the shore, Ji Xiaoxiao and his group of four were going to cut off the two horns of the buffalo beast with fish gills, find a place to dig a hole and bury them, and then take them back when they came back.
I didn’t choose to carry it with me because it was inconvenient to carry these two horns with me.
Their main task is to survey this area, and it will take a lot of time to carry something that is difficult to move with them.
A pit was dug on the shore of the lake, two bloody horns were placed in the pit and buried with soil.
After doing this, Sun Bin patted the dirt on his hands and went to the lake shore to wash his hands.
Suddenly, there was a dense sound from the lake in the distance.
"Gulu, Gulu..."
Sun Bin stood up after washing his hands, shook off the water stains on his hands, and looked at the place where the sound came from in the distance.
At this time, Ji Xiaoxiao and the others also noticed the movement in the lake and came to Sun Bin's side.
"There are so many psychic fluctuations." This time, even Cheng Ling could sense the psychic fluctuations in the lake, so the creatures in the lake were not that strong.
"There's a lot of them!" Sun Bin said.
"About thirty." Ji Xiaoxiao sensed the number of creatures in the lake and said.
"We are not very strong, so it can be easily solved." Wang Chao said.
While Ji Xiaoxiao and the four of them were talking, one after another, the most powerful buffalo beasts with fish gills, which were only in the early stage of the second stage, emerged from the water.
The water buffalo beast with fish gills that Ji Xiaoxiao and the other three had killed earlier was the boss of these alien beasts that had appeared at the beginning of the third stage of cultivation.
The blood of the buffalo beast with fish gills, which was at the beginning of the third stage of strength, flowed into the lake. The smell of blood made these beasts unable to sit still, and then they all emerged from the water.
"Roar……"
Angry roars came one after another from the mouths of these alien beasts. Facing these alien beasts, which were generally weak, Ji Xiaoxiao and the four of them were very calm.
Just when they thought these alien beasts were coming to avenge their boss, they turned around and ran away.
"Wow, wow..."
These strange beasts living in the water swam very fast. They swam to the other side of the river in no time, climbed ashore, fled far away, and disappeared into the forest after a while.
"These strange beasts are self-aware!" Wang Chao said.
Sun Bin and Cheng Ling nodded, they were not surprised that these strange beasts escaped.
After all, all the bosses who had the strength of the first stage of the third stage were killed, and they themselves were not strong enough. If they rushed up to seek revenge on the enemy, they would undoubtedly die in vain, so the best option was to turn around and run away.
"Okay, the matter is settled, let's leave here and continue to investigate ahead!" Ji Xiaoxiao said.
Afterwards, the group of four people who had experienced this episode left the lake shore and continued their mission.
