Chapter 118: Strange Situation in the Wilderness
Follow the trail all the journey of more than 600 miles took two and a half days.
The reason why the speed is not too fast is because we have to avoid some monsters, and the mountain road is difficult to walk on after all.
The further northeast he went, the more familiar Su Chen felt.
That wilderness was clearly the wilderness on the east side of Yunyang Sect.
When he was carrying out espionage missions in the past, Su Chen had walked through this wilderness a lot.
The terrain and various vegetation and trees in this world are also familiar to me.
After arriving in this wilderness, the traces of the monsters seemed to become more and more confused, and they did not continue to move forward.
These monsters seem to be gathering in this area.
Thinking of this, Su Chen became more alert.
The place where he is now should be deep in the wilderness on the east side of Yunyang Sect.
It is still about two hundred miles away from the front line of Yunyang Sect.
Now the front line of Yunyang Sect has moved back again, probably about two hundred and seventy miles.
This distance still sounds a bit far.
However, if a beast tide really occurred, the Yunyang Sect would probably suffer the most.
After hesitating, Su Chen continued to walk deeper.
Seeing those mixed traces, Su Chen no longer chose to follow.
Observe the terrain everywhere and prepare to choose a high point for observation.
I have the destiny of being a "good monster hunter" and I am naturally very sensitive to monsters.
Standing at a high point and observing, you can at least roughly detect any slight abnormality.
Then go and observe carefully.
On the north side, there is a relatively steep mountain.
It should be quite difficult for ordinary people to climb.
But now he has the strength of the seventh level of Huaigu Realm, and with the help of "Xingyun Bu", it is not a problem for him to climb a dangerous peak.
At noon, Su Chen climbed the dangerous peak on the north side.
He looked up, and this glance made Su Chen stunned.
In the wide valley in the distance, there are many monsters.
Either standing or squatting
Judging from the number, there are at least thousands of monsters.
Moreover, there are monsters coming from all directions on the periphery.
Walk into the valley, and then rely on other monsters
Su Chen has carried out many espionage missions and believes that he knows much more about the habits of monsters than others.
But I have never seen a situation like this before.
Even in the books he had read, Su Chen had never seen such a situation.
People's understanding of the beast tide is far from enough.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Su Chen recalled the description of the beast tide in the book in his mind.
During the hundred years of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there were also tides of beasts.
There are many documents with relevant records.
[The beasts and demons are rushing like a raging flood, and even broken swords and knives cannot stop them.
The pungent fishy smell and scarlet ooze were like small rivers gathering together.
Looking forward, it is still endless, and the number can be estimated to be more than tens of thousands.】
Su Chen still remembers these descriptions from the books left by his ancestors.
According to what our ancestors said, when a beast tide occurs, there will be tens of thousands of monsters in one surging tide.
The strong men tried to kill these monsters, but their swords were blunt and broken, and they were still unable to stop the tide of beasts.
Judging from these records, the number of monsters before us is far from reaching the standard of a beast tide.
Even if a beast tide is about to occur, it should still be in the process of forming and not fully formed.
At this moment, monsters kept coming into the valley.
The monsters from the wilderness outside Tiangang City also came here.
Su Chen focused again and looked at the valley carefully.
In the valley, there are civet cat demons, pig demons, slippery-skinned snake demons, scaly-armored snake demons, sharp-pointed fox demons, and sharp-clawed blood wolves.
All kinds of monsters with different habitats and living in different areas have come.
If monsters from many regions gathered here, there would be more than 100,000 monsters. It was not surprising that the monsters described in the books by our ancestors were not false.
After coming to his senses, Su Chen sat down on the dangerous peak and observed the speed at which the monsters gathered.
Record everything you see and understand.
It was somewhat close to my previous guess. The strange situation in the wilderness was indeed caused by a tide of beasts.
The only slightly better news is that the monsters are not gathering very quickly.
It would probably take more than half a year to gather a hundred thousand monsters, so there is still time to deal with them.
But when these monsters gather together, they also need to eat.
The pressure on the Yunyang Sect’s front line may be greater than before.
After sorting out the information, Su Chen came down from the dangerous peak.
He prepared to observe the surrounding terrain once more and then go back to report to the sect.
As he walked along, Su Chen discovered several traces of earth monsters.
These powerful monsters, which are generally hard to see, seem to no longer act alone, but gather together to act.
Su Chen was still somewhat confident in his ability to escape.
And judging from the direction these earth monsters were heading, it seemed to be the secret location marked on the map given to him by Mr. Ouyang.
After hesitating for a moment, Su Chen followed.
[A good monster hunter], [lightness], and [tenacity].
With the blessing of the three destinies, Su Chen felt that he had no problem protecting himself.
Move forward carefully along the way. The purpose of this trip is also to gain experience.
If you keep shrinking back, how can you make the necessary progress in your spiritual practice?
In fact, there is a lot of information about various secret realms in the major sects.
Especially in the wilderness, there are even more rumors.
It is difficult to tell whether the news is true or false.
Even if it has not been discovered, it may be because of lack of opportunity, not because the news is false.
Su Chen did not have too many expectations for the secret realm. What he wanted more was to find out what those powerful monsters were doing.
All the way into the depths of the wilderness, with the help of [Monster Hunter], Su Chen smelled a strong smell of blood.
This is the breath of monster blood
Compared to the smell of human blood, Su Chen is much more sensitive to the smell of monster blood.
Within thirty feet, there should be a monster that is injured and bleeding a lot.
Taking out his top-grade long sword, Su Chen became more alert.
Judging from the aura of this injured monster, its strength has reached that of an earth demon.
Even if he is injured, he is still an earth demon.
It is still difficult for Su Chen to judge how serious the injuries of this earth demon are, so it is better to be careful.
Looking forward cautiously, in the dense forest, a demon collapsed to the ground, twitching constantly.
The powerful and ferocious earth demon seemed to have difficulty even standing at this moment.
This is a spiky pig monster with spikes all over its body.
It is both a means of attack and can cover up the vital parts of the body.
But at this moment, there was a big wound on the neck of this earth demon, and blood kept pouring out.
Looking at the blood flowing, one can see how fierce the blood and energy of this earth demon is.
Not far away, a woman was leaning against a tree.
He held a long sword in his hand and pointed it at Su Chen.
The woman was seriously injured, but she was holding on in order to force Su Chen to retreat.
In the wilderness, encountering a human is often more terrifying than encountering a monster.
Especially now, she is still seriously injured.
"Take this jade pendant. It will make you rich."
As he spoke, he threw a jade pendant to Su Chen, hoping that Su Chen would leave.
