"That's the area where the rhino-armored worm lives. It moves in the black swamp in that valley. The miasma is very strong and the visibility is very low. If I hadn't happened to catch it hunting, I wouldn't have even known there was a monster of this level. inside……"

The shadow mage who discovered the rhino-armored centipede said in a deep voice.

At that time, a warrior-level white-armored corpse insect strayed into the miasma-filled area, and its carapace was directly bitten by the huge but fast rhinoceros-armored demon centipede. In an instant, no bones were left.

The shell of the white-armored corpse insect is very hard, and ordinary mid-level magic cannot harm it at all, but in front of that demonic centipede, it is as fragile as white paper. Its size and strength should be very close to the leader level.

"The temperament of rhino-armored worms is very violent, and their sense of territory is extremely strong. Any creature that breaks into their territory will face endless hunting until the intruder is eaten alive. However, for this reason, it is impossible for other creatures to appear in their territory. The demon is a hiding place, but the poisonous miasma is not easy to deal with..."

Jiang Yi looked at the thick white fog filling the valley not far away, and could vaguely see the bones and some fine pieces of fur scattered on the ground, all of which were intruders and prey that had been swallowed and digested.

Rhinoceros are notorious monsters. The strength of their adult bodies is generally at the sub-command level. They are not only murderous against foreign races, but also against their own kind.

Rhinoceros, even if they are still unhatched eggs, are in danger of being cannibalized by the female that gave birth to them. Males, like mantises and spiders, can hardly escape the fate of being devoured by more powerful females.

Their lives are full of dangers, making them highly hostile to any living creature. Even if they are their own flesh and blood brothers, they will kill and cannibalize them without hesitation to make themselves stronger.

Survival of the fittest, this is the best rule for rhinoceros beetles whose adult rate is less than one percent. Killing and eating everything is their way of survival.

"It has the strength to occupy a valley, and judging from the age of those skeletons, it has lived here for at least a few years. This is the strength that only adult rhino-armored worms have. It is best to define its strength at the leader level... …”

Nie Hao looked at the poisonous miasma not far away, took out a black seed from his arms, and whispered.

"The metabolism of the Rhinoceros is very slow. It can eat enough at one time without having to hunt again for several months. If it has just eaten and is dormant in the mud, it will be difficult for us to get close to it without passing through the miasma. Moreover, we have to be in To set up camp here, we must also solve the problem of miasma..."

Nie Hao threw the black seed into the white poisonous miasma, which was mixed with a cyan light. The seed submerged in the black soil quickly began to take root and sprout.

He had also encountered the rhinoceros before. This creature could take in a large amount of oxygen and store it in its body. It could sleep in the mud for more than a week by reducing its body's functions.

They only leave the swamp when hunting or ventilating, because the miasma contains dangerous poison, and most monsters are unwilling to approach it.

Coupled with the pungent smell left by the rhino-armored demon centipede, it is clear that this is its territory, and the monsters who are afraid of it will stay away.

Those who enter accidentally are mostly monsters that are poisonous and not afraid of miasma. They are either born as calves and are not afraid of tigers, or they are competitors who come to fight for territory.

However, it can stay here for a long time, and those competitors may have become its nourishment. In the fiercely competitive Dongting Lake, this is a good performance.

"Well, this miasma is different from what I have encountered in other areas. Although it is not a fatal threat to slave-level monsters, this smell is a hallucinatory poisonous mist that can cause hallucinations and make the inhaler excited.

, but it’s quite expected, it’s a natural barrier…”

Nie Hao calmly approached the highly toxic miasma and took out the black-seeded fruit that bloomed and bore fruit in a very short time. The half-human-tall shrub-like plant quickly withered and withered.

He seemed completely unafraid of the miasma, and stayed calmly within it, without worrying that the rhinoceros-armored demon centipede would notice his strange aura.

"It's just right. One pill for each person. The duration should be no problem for two hours. Once the rhino-armored worms are eliminated, we can put some thought into cultivating a black shrub that can continue to decompose the miasma..."

Nie Hao plucked all the fruits from the bush. He slowly walked back to the team and briefly explained how to use these fruits.

"You only need to hold it in your mouth. If you accidentally swallow it, it will cause gastrointestinal ulcers. After all, its principle is to fight poison with poison and use another poison to neutralize the miasma. It will only cause less harm to the human body, but if used incorrectly

That’s another matter…”

Nie Hao looked at several hunters and military mages who looked panicked because of his words, and grinned with a bit of teasing.

"The rhinoceros-armored worm should be cultivating in the black swamp, but the two or three days before and after eating are the peak period of its physical activity. Its consciousness is very clear, and its instinctive warlike and bloodthirsty will be stimulated. It only needs

If you get close to the black marsh, you can lure it out, but who will kill it..."

Nie Hao's eyes wandered among the hunters and military mages. He had no intention of getting rid of the rhinoceros-armored devil centipede.

"This kind of rare monster is still an adult whose strength is close to that of the commander. There should be very little information about them in the database of the Biyi Military Region. Although I can kill it, it is impossible to save many complete corpses..."

The Biyi Military Region wants to collect the gene chains of the demons in Dongting Lake that have not yet been entered into the database, as well as exact information about their strength and habits.

Therefore, they need relatively complete demon corpses so that they can extract muscle tissue and some precious materials to fill the corresponding gaps.

Nie Hao majored in the poison system, minored in the wind system, and minored in the plant system. His poisonous magic would erode and dissolve the demon's skin, flesh, muscles and bones from the inside out, leaving only an empty body in the end.

Therefore, when hunting with his teammates, he rarely kills monsters. Poison magic will damage the monster's precious alien blood, alien bones and even the alien scales on the outside, greatly reducing the price of the materials obtained.

"As long as you hold this fruit in your mouth, you will not be afraid of the poisonous miasma for two hours. If you don't have to worry about the miasma, let me deal with the rhinoceros-armored devil..."

Bai Yeyu whispered. He held the black fruit, which was less than the size of a button, in his mouth, and a strong pressure erupted from his body.

"Does Commander Bai want to deal with that monster alone? It is a dangerous monster that may reach the leader level. Even he will have a hard time defeating it..."

A senior hunter who had completed intermediate cultivation of fire and earth elements was a little shocked and couldn't help but marvel.

Even for a high-level military commander, it is not easy to kill an adult rhinoceros on his own. If he is infected with the poison of the devil, it will be a venom much more deadly than miasma...

"I have confidence in your strength, but don't be careless, especially when the rhinoceros-armored devil is struggling and dying, which is the most dangerous time for monsters, especially when you have to fight with them in close combat..."

Jiang Yi patted Bai Yeyu on the shoulder. Bai Yeyu, who already had the black fruit in his mouth, could not speak. He could only nod his head with a serious look in his eyes.

The next moment, his tall body disappeared into the shadows, turning into a group of ripples that were imperceptible to the naked eye and approaching the black mire that appeared and disappeared in the miasma.

"Is it really okay to let him go alone? The job of a scout is not to fight monsters. Although he is a weirdo among the scouts..."

Li Man frowned, and there was a trace of worry in her sharp and heroic eyes. She was still more or less worried, fighting with poisonous insects, and she would be poisoned if she was not careful.

"Just believe in him. Isn't he constantly breaking our imaginations over the years? He is growing up very fast. If you don't work harder, the gap between you and him will become wider and wider. The same goes for us old guys."

, the future life is terrible..."

Jiang Yi felt a little emotional, Bai Yeyu and Li Man were both good young men in the Biyi Military Region, and they were both rare leaders who could carry the banner in the future.

Compared with large military regions where geniuses gather and strong men emerge in large numbers, in local military regions, the number of geniuses is really very small, and each one is a training target that receives double attention.

For military mages who are constantly resisting the invasion of demons, powerful mages always come first. The successful birth of each military commander can reduce some of the pressure faced by the great demons.

This is especially true for the Biyi Military Region, which is facing direct pressure from the Dongting Lake tribe. Being able to see these promising geniuses grow up is the greatest gratification for veteran military mages like them.

"It's not because you think it will destroy the body of the rhino-armored demon centipede that you don't want to go. Even if you don't use poison magic, you can still kill most of the leader-level monsters with the power of wind and plant systems. You deliberately declined.

The reason is just to test their strength..."

Ke Ke looked at the hunters and military mages who were waiting quietly, then turned to look at the slovenly Nie Hao, barely opening his lips to whisper.

"So what? I have to understand their strength. We agreed to assist them because of the bargaining chip offered by the military region that we could not refuse. But this does not mean that we have to fight for them all the way. For hunters, life is the most important thing.

important……"

Nie Hao moved his lips and silently responded to his old friend.

Love of money is a major characteristic of hunters, and there are many hunters who are willing to take risks for this. However, Nie Hao and Ke Ke are already master hunters, and they are very high-level master hunters. The temptation of money is no longer so strong for them.

Nie Hao values ​​his life more than money. Although he has an employment relationship with the military mage, he has no obligation to fight for it. This is something that the military mages also know very well. Hunters are only auxiliaries and are truly relied upon.

Or themselves.

If the heavy burden is entrusted to hunters, what is the use of military mages? What hunters provide is their rich experience and the combat they are forced to face in the face of large-scale attacks. Other than that, it all depends on their willingness.

Although the harvest from active hunting belongs to the hunter, except for Nie Hao and Ke Ke, and perhaps Xu Huang, other senior hunters may not be able to deal with a demon centipede that is close to the leader even if they join forces. They are all more than capable.

"That young military commander is a high-level mage of the shadow system, but the shadow system should not be his first system. What are his initial system and third system that gave him the confidence to hunt the rhino-armored demon centipede independently?

…”

The index finger and thumb of Xu Huang's right hand rubbed the black fruit. An angry roar came from the originally peaceful valley. Along with the clicking sounds, some silvery white and black brilliance could be vaguely seen.

which flashes.

Xu Huang could feel that shortly after Bai Yeyu entered the miasma valley, a violent murderous aura spread, and those angry emotions turned into invisible threads and were absorbed by his mixed-color nebula.

Judging from the energy concentration, it should be much worse than Xu Qing, and may not even reach the commander level.

Xu Huang's continuous absorption of negative emotions in the past month has made his mixed-color nebula grow a lot. The range of perception has increased by nearly 50% compared to when he was in the ancient capital. Even outside the valley, he can absorb the rhinoceros among them.

The negative emotions emitted by the armored centipede.

It seemed like a long time passed, but in reality it was only a few minutes. A promotion figure wearing camouflage uniforms appeared in front of Xu Huang and others. Bai Yeyu was back.

He didn't look much different from before, except that he held a silver-gray dagger in each hand, and drops of pungent-smelling liquid splashed on the ground.

"That guy is a sub-leader, and he should be in the advanced stage. If he accumulates strength for a while, he may be able to reach the leader level. It will be difficult then. Fortunately, it is not too difficult for me to kill him now...

"

Bai Yeyu exhaled a breath and whispered. The bitter taste of the black fruit filled his mouth, making his voice a bit sharp.

The breath disappeared, and the last emotion conveyed was unwillingness to die and resentment towards the hunter. Xu Huang closed his eyes and entered meditation, and saw a scarlet light being swallowed by the mixed-color nebula.

The dying resentment before death seems to be in line with the appetite of Mixed Color Nebula. The purer the negative emotions, the more nutrients those star particles can absorb. After entering the intermediate level, the devouring speed of those star particles is much faster than that of the elementary level.

Mixed-color stars are like a bottomless pit that can never be filled, crazily eating away at the negative energy that can be harvested to strengthen themselves.

Their strong desire for the resentment of the Bone Black King has never diminished, but they know that they are not yet capable of gnawing at that extremely dangerous energy.

"The land of Dongting Lake is filled with bloody killings all the time. These huge negative emotions can be good nourishment for you. You also need your soul and even your remaining soul..."

Xu Huang threw the black fruit into his mouth, and a bitter taste filled the air. He followed the military mages and hunters into the miasma valley, thinking silently in his heart.

"Is it possible to enter that territory this time? That thing is probably mature. No matter what, I want to give it a try. Even if I have to face that monster that shouldn't appear in the desert of Dongting Lake, I won't

must go……"

Nie Hao walked alone at the end. He lowered his head and thought silently, with a strange light shining in his eyes.

He raised his head and glanced at the long-haired, one-eyed Ke Ke. The trace of hesitation in his eyes completely disappeared. He had made up his mind that even if it was very dangerous, he had to give it a try.

"…………"

Ke Ke's figure was hidden in the white miasma, and Nie Hao did not notice that his old friend turned back to stare at him.

Ke Ke's eyes were confused, but he didn't say anything. He just strode forward with his hands involuntarily clenched into fists.

Lao Nie, you can never hide your thoughts, don't do stupid things...
