Chapter 39: The melon-eating passerby hiding in the thick grass
The sun sets in the west, and the bright red sun dyes the blue sky with a gorgeous paint.
"Huh..."
Lin Li gasped for air, wiping the sweat from his forehead while pulling out the long sword that had been pierced into the body of the reed chicken and beast.
Ever since he killed the first reed chicken and strange beast, he seemed to have stabbed a chicken coop, and more reed chicken and strange beasts came out one after another.
So, he spent the entire afternoon fighting with reeds, chickens, and strange beasts.
So far, he has hunted a total of 9 reed chicken exotic beasts. Counting the black snake exotic beast he hunted at the beginning of the day, Lin Li has hunted a total of 10 exotic beasts today.
This far exceeded the goal he originally set to kill five strange beasts this afternoon.
"Haha... I am so lucky today! I hunted ten strange beasts in just one afternoon. If I start from the morning tomorrow and work all day, is it okay? Hunting twenty strange beasts?
If that’s the case, then I won’t be able to see that little green fruit ripening soon.”
Lin Li knelt down to collect the dead reed, chicken, and exotic beasts into the mysterious island. He happily thought to himself that the next few days would be smooth sailing like today.
…………
“Tons, tons, tons…”
After a busy afternoon, a somewhat tired Lin Li took out a bottle from the mysterious island and placed it on the island in advance. The mineral water on the bottle, unscrew the cap and drink half the bottle of mineral water in one breath.
“Huh…”
After drinking half of the bottle of mineral water, I took a long breath and felt relaxed all over.
"The sun is going to go down soon. We have to go home quickly."
Lin Li took out his mobile phone from his pocket and opened the mobile map software. The positioning display showed that his current location was a safe distance away. The area is actually four or five kilometers away.
"Tsk... I was killing too hard just now, and I actually ran out so far. I have to be more careful in the future. Don't accidentally run further and encounter second-level strange beasts. That would be terrible.”
After confirming the approximate direction of returning to the safe zone through the mobile phone map, Lin Li prepared to return.
But at this moment, there was a huge roar in the distance.
"Boom."
Along with the roar, there was also a pillar of fire rising into the sky.
This pillar of fire rising into the sky is so huge that it can be seen clearly even from a long distance away.
"What...what's going on?" Lin Li stared blankly at the position where the pillar of fire that shot up into the sky disappeared in an instant, his mouth wide open in shock.
The specific diameter of the disappeared pillar of fire could not be determined visually, but the height it reached into the sky was at least fifteen or six meters.
Looking around, all you can see are wildly growing flowers, plants and trees, with no modern human facilities at all.
Lin Li had only seen such a pillar of fire rising into the sky on the news channel not long ago.
I remember the news report at the time said that a certain natural gas pipeline caused certain damage to the natural gas pipeline due to careless operation by construction workers.
Subsequently, the leaking natural gas pipeline caught fire, causing a pillar of fire to rise into the sky.
Now that Lin Li was in the wilderness, there was obviously no natural gas pipeline laid here. In addition, the pillar of fire disappeared immediately after it appeared, making it even more impossible to have anything to do with the natural gas pipeline leak.
You know, it is not that easy to extinguish the column of fire caused by a natural gas pipeline leak.
So the pillar of fire that suddenly appeared and disappeared just now was most likely created by practitioners using supernatural powers, or it was probably created by alien beasts using supernatural powers. If it's the former, it's easier to say, but if it's the latter. It would be too dangerous to stay here any longer, and we must leave as soon as possible.
Lin Li quickly analyzed it in his mind, and then he decided to escape immediately towards the safe zone.
Unfortunately, just when he was about to leave, there was suddenly a fierce fighting sound behind him, accompanied by ferocious beast roars.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
"Roar..."
Hearing the fierce fighting sound, he was quickly approaching his location. , Lin Li immediately gave up the idea of escape, turned around, and burrowed into the thick grass next to him.
This decision was correct, because the next second Lin Li got into the thick grass, two figures appeared dozens of meters away from the grass where Lin Li was hiding.
With the frightening movement speed of those two figures, it would not take a while to catch up with Lin Li who was running away.
Without knowing whether they are friends or foes, hiding is the best choice.
“Bang.”
The two figures punched each other, and the energy generated caused the vegetation around them to rattle.
Both sides stepped back six or seven meters, breathing heavily after standing firm, but never taking their eyes away from each other for a moment.
Lin Li, who was hiding in the grass, stared with wide eyes at the two figures confronting each other dozens of meters away.
One is a middle-aged man in his early forties, 1.75 meters tall, with a Chinese character face, short hair, and wearing camouflage uniforms.
His hands were wearing metal self-sensing gloves. From the pale golden aura that flashed from time to time on the gloves, we could tell that the gloves should be spiritual weapons.
The other figure confronting the middle-aged man was an ape-like beast nearly two meters tall.
This is an ape beast with white hair all over its body, strong limbs, fangs exposed outside its lips, and its dark eyes looking at the middle-aged man with murderous intent.
"What a terrifying alien beast."
Hiding in the grass, Lin Li observed the white ape alien beast, although he could not sense the intensity of the spiritual energy fluctuations emitted by the opponent through mental power like a second-level practitioner. , to judge the opponent's strength.
But at this moment, he could clearly feel the terrifying murderous aura emanating from the white ape beast.
"Calm down and adjust your breathing. The white ape beast and the middle-aged man in the distance must be second-level practitioners.
Practitioners of their level can I sense the surrounding situation through my mental power, and am especially sensitive to creatures that emit psychic energy fluctuations. Now I can never mobilize the psychic energy in my body.
If they sense the psychic energy fluctuations emanating from my body, I will have no choice but to take refuge on the mysterious island immediately. "
Hiding in the grass, Lin Li tried his best to relax himself and not let nervousness dominate his body.
"Roar..."
Confrontation After a while, the white ape suddenly The beast roared at the middle-aged man.
"Hehe... You are a tough guy but you don't think you can scare me away... I stabbed you in the heart. As long as I fight with you again." Go down, you are not far from death. ”
Facing the roar of the white ape and the strange beast, the middle-aged man was not afraid at all, but instead said to the other party with a smile.
