Chapter 539: Keeping the Boundaries
The dense forest is full of puddles after the rain.
The puddle reflects the trees and a light green frog like a mirror. It is very quiet, with no wind and no sunlight. The tall tree crown blocks the sunlight, only a little shines through the gaps, making it look crystal clear when it shines on the rain-covered green leaves...
Suddenly! A pair of big feet crushed the puddle and splashed muddy water!
A group of three ferocious-looking, gray-black monsters were running through the forest. They were dressed in tatters. They were carrying Central Plains and Jiuli style weapons and were covered in blood, with blood-red meat threads hanging from the corners of their mouths!
The animals in the forest fled in panic, the deer jumped over the dead trees covered with moss to get away from the three monsters, the birds in the forest fluttered their wings and flew up screaming, the lynx lay on the tree and roared a warning towards the ground...
Something bad happened to the three monsters. There were many small wounds on their bodies. It was obvious that they had experienced a close-quarters fight not long ago.
The endless rain and the soft ground covered with fallen leaves in the Southern Wilderness made monsters like them feel uncomfortable. However, despite being so comfortable in the Central Plains, powerful opponents were chasing them and they had to flee to the Southern Wilderness.
Different standpoints and different opinions. Birth is a fact that there is no choice. For monsters, they are just acting according to instinct. The habit of killing and looting is innate and profound and cannot be changed in the blood. It is instinct that drives them to obtain food from other creatures.
and space to facilitate survival, everything is for the purpose of racial survival.
Similarly, the indigenous creatures in this world have the right to protect themselves and kill intruders. Whether justice or not depends on which side they are in. Jiuli people or monsters in the territory must kill monsters if they want to protect the territory and their own lives.
In exchange for survival, especially monsters are the enemies of all forest creatures. Monsters, beasts and even insects do not like these foreign invaders.
When the three monsters realized that they had arrived at a place where no human race existed, they breathed a sigh of relief and sat down to rest.
In the dense tree canopy, the sharp arrow tip is aimed at the target on the ground...
Ten cold snake monsters gathered at the top of the tree. The three monsters did not notice the danger. They only had experience in dealing with people from the Central Plains or Jiuli and did not have many opportunities to fight against monsters, especially some trained monsters.
The smell of the monster is too strong, especially the smell of blood and the odor caused by not bathing for many years can be smelled from miles away. The vibrations are strong when walking, and the infrared characteristics that are obviously different from other animals and humans are the most obvious.
The forest is like a torch in the dark.
No abnormalities can be seen on the ground in the dense canopy.
The snake demons choose to use their talents to hide behind thick green leaves and sneak attacks. The naked eye cannot see through the green leaves and cannot see the monsters. They completely use infrared sensing to avoid the branches and lock the target. This is the hunting instinct of the snake demons. Like poisonous snakes hidden in the dark, they are always ready to hunt.
kill!
The team leader waves!
There was a chaotic sound! The arrow easily penetrated the leaves and went straight to the ground. Three unprepared monsters!
The sound of sharp weapons cutting leather can be heard endlessly...
"Ouch...!"
The monster screamed, with only half of the arrows sticking out of its body. Then the snake demons shot a second arrow again. The whistling arrows killed two monsters who were struggling to avoid and escape. The one who was still alive got under several thick arrows.
He escaped, but he was still seriously injured by the first wave of arrows.
The monster is ferocious. When no arrows fall, it immediately howls and rushes out with a sword, looking for an opponent to fight!
Nothing can be seen in the airtight forest, there are no enemies, no shouts and even no smell of humans, but the living monster is sure that he has encountered humans, because bows and arrows are the favorite weapons of cowardly humans!
"Ouch! Coward! Come out!"
The roar was hoarse and unpleasant, but it was unexpected that he was a monster who knew a little Chinese dialect.
It picked up the weapons of its dead companions and carefully looked around, and unknowingly approached a giant banana plant, with its broad green banana leaves covering its head...
The snake demons did not shoot arrows again. They wanted to test their abilities. One snake demon pulled out a horizontal knife and held the handle of the knife with both hands. He jumped out and landed directly towards the location of the monster!
It was a female snake demon, with long hair flying upwards when she fell with the tip of the knife downwards. It seemed that snakes had extensive experience in falling from trees. She was probably lying in wait in the trees to attack the birds, but was discovered by the falcon and had to fall freely.
That monster is still looking for the sneak attacker. Even if he hides under a banana leaf, he can't escape the infrared lock!
The banana leaf tore, and the cold blade fell straight down, piercing into the chest from the back of the monster's neck with a clang! The monster's hunched back was perfect for attacking from the sky.
After being assassinated, his strong body still stood instinctively and did not fall down.
The female snake demon stepped on the monster's shoulders and kicked hard, using her strength to pull out the horizontal knife and jump up the tree. The kicked monster fell face down into a pile of soft and rotten leaves, twitched a few times and then calmed down.
The snake demon soldiers do not need to be trained, because they have grown to this day by relying on their cold-blooded murderousness.
The indifferent snake monsters left and continued to defend their own territory, leaving only three corpses to be decomposed and devoured by flies and ants. Some carnivores had no interest in the monster's meat.
We didn’t encounter many monsters. It’s likely that most of the monsters haven’t rushed here yet, and maybe they’re still fighting with Jiuli’s White and Black tribes in the distance.
Patrol teams one after another used arrows to nail the monsters that appeared unexpectedly at the border of the territory, and a few snake monsters even drowned a monster in the ditch...
Unlike the huge logistics supply of the human army, the snake monsters can solve the food problem very well.
Even snakes can go without eating for long periods of time and wait quietly without causing any physical problems. They do not need a lot of sleep late at night, nor do they need a comfortable tent. Their powerful night vision ability is far better than that of humans with night blindness.
Food can be found everywhere, from fat frogs to some small animals, and even many nutritious insects are more popular. They are definitely the most coveted soldiers of every general.
Iron Ball, who is in the Demon General stage, is responsible for dealing with those monsters with slightly higher cultivation levels, running excitedly along the border.
Several monsters crossed the border and entered the Baijiao territory. As they were walking, a small man suddenly jumped out from the ground beside them, wielding a machete and slashing fiercely. It was impossible to guard against a sneak attack from underground.
The two hundred crossbowmen looked like a lot. In fact, facing the border line of Jiuli was like throwing fish into the lake. There would inevitably be some loopholes. If it weren't for the strong senses, it would be difficult to set up defenses. Fortunately, with the strong sense of smell, they were hunted down.
, the pressure is increasing day by day.
After several days of silent killing, the snake monsters needed supplies, especially because their arrows were consumed too quickly.
Qing Ling, Lu Gui and dozens of snake demons sent a large number of arrows. The three guys were discussing defense issues on the giant tree. The situation was getting more and more serious. No one could tell whether a fierce fight would happen next.
Qing Ling, who was dressed in military uniform, felt that she couldn't disturb her sister over such a trivial matter.
"Resolutely intercept them at the border of the territory! They are not afraid that if the miasma appears in Snake Valley, the consequences will be disastrous! If it doesn't work, I will go to Qingmu Mountain to bring in reinforcements!"
Tie Qiu and Lu Gui nodded in agreement. Snake Valley is an important place for the snake clan nearby and must not be lost. It would be too troublesome to find Yunyao Ancient Village. Maybe the only way is to seek support from the Qingmu Demon King, who has a good relationship with them.
