Chapter 77: Terror in Disguise
The arrow with strange lines on its surface sank into the forest glade and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Unsure of who was attacking and what the purpose was, Yan Jing immediately gave up the attack.
He retreated a certain distance, opened the folded shield of his blood robe, and prepared to defend against the impact that might come at any time.
However, what happened next was beyond his expectation.
In just a second or two, a large number of dark green vines suddenly grew out of the place where the arrow disappeared. Instead of attacking Yan Jing, they swept towards the giant bear, first binding its two front paws, and then connected
The mouth was also wrapped tightly.
With the strength of this giant bear, it was unable to break free from these vines that looked no more than the thickness of a thumb. After several attempts, it frantically tried to hit the sharp edge of the rocks on the side.
The vines first bloomed with several small pale yellow flowers.
Something strange happened.
The giant bear that looked crazy just a second ago, holding a few small yellow flowers on its head, slowly calmed down, as if the wounds on its face no longer hurt, and just fell to the ground with a groan, half-squinting its eyes, and no longer attacking.
sexual behavior.
Even Yan Jing was a little surprised at this time. After thinking about it, he simply sheathed his sword.
No wonder Lu Wu Jin Jing never issued a warning. Only then did Yan Jing realize that the person hiding in the dark had no intention of harming him, but just wanted to stop the fight.
Of course, sheathing the sword does not mean that Yan Jing will leave.
Turning to look at the place where the arrow was shot, Yan Jing shouted loudly:
"Friend, this is my prey. Isn't it unethical to just grab it without saying a word?"
"Don't kill it, I'll pay you something else."
A deep voice came from behind, and Yan Jing raised his eyebrows.
There are not many people who can avoid his perception and appear directly behind him, which is enough to prove that the other party is also somewhat capable.
Turn around and look back.
In front of a bush that I passed by when I came here, a tall and thin young man fell down at some point.
He was holding a vermilion exquisite long bow in his hand, wearing well-crafted brown-gray leather armor, and a hood on his head, with long black hair covering his eyes, and half of his face was exposed, looking at
Slightly pale.
This outfit is quite similar to the elf prince in a fantasy movie that Yan Jing has watched in the past, but the person in front of him seems to be reluctant to meet people, and most of his face is shrouded in the shadow cast by the hood.
The more he observed this person, the more strange he felt.
Lu Wu's golden eyes can keep him in a [sharp] state at all times, but the presence of the person in front of him is exaggerated.
Even Yan Jing has to keep an eye on him to ensure the target is locked.
In the blink of an eye, he can blend into the surrounding environment, as if he is just an ordinary weed in the jungle.
Seeing that Yan Jing was silent, the young man just assumed that Yan Jing agreed to his conditions. When he raised his hand again, there was already a fruit with a strange fragrance in his palm, and he threw it directly to the former.
"This is......"
As soon as he took the fruit, Torch gave out the message. Yan Jing raised the fruit with light cyan lines on the surface and looked at him in surprise.
Light Spirit Fruit (consumable): After eating, you can obtain the special state [Light Spirit], which improves personal agility and lasts for fifteen minutes!
The rarity of this fruit is actually limited. What really makes Yan Jing strange is that the man in front of him is actually willing to trade a fruit with extraordinary power for the life of a beast. This transaction is not equivalent in any way...
..
Is this bear his pet?
The young man crossed the cliff and walked to the giant bear. He bent down and covered its forehead with his free left hand.
In an instant, light green fluorescent light rose up from the surrounding trees and converged on the giant bear's wound under the guidance of an invisible force.
The originally ferocious cracks healed at an extremely fast speed!
After completing this step, the young man directly dispersed the vines binding the giant bear, picked only a few small yellow flowers and stuffed them into the giant bear's mouth.
The freed giant bear was no longer irritable. When he stood up, he grunted twice and arched the young man's chest forward as if to express his gratitude. Finally, he raised his head and roared at Yan Jing, turned around and left.
Just at this time.
The young man suddenly turned around and raised his hand. What he caught was the Qingling Fruit that had been traded earlier. He couldn't help but look up at Yan Jing.
"I stopped it not to kill it, but to use it to find out what happened in this jungle. So if you really want to trade, why not exchange it for information. I can't use this fruit, so you can take it back.
."
Compared with the giant bear, Yan Jing found a better source of intelligence, decisively identified the locator given by the Special Affairs Bureau, and then said,
"In fact, I have reached an agreement with the Special Affairs Bureau. In order to ensure that the people of Shanqing City will not be attacked by monsters for the second time, we must find out the root cause of the bird attack on the citizens!"
Knowing that satellites were always paying attention to the Luojiang Mountains, Yan Jing maintained Luo Jing's appearance after landing.
"......follow me."
The young man looked at Yan Jing, as if he was trying to distinguish whether the latter's words were true or false. He suddenly took out his cell phone and glanced at it before speaking.
It turns out that having a well-known positive image comes in handy many times.
Not only can you avoid disputes, but you can also gain some extra trust.
Yan Jing followed the young man, and not far out, he found a strong elk lying on the forest clearing in front of him, with a light green inscription flashing on its forehead. It turned to look at the two of them, and opened its mouth to call the young man twice.
Voice.
Next to it is a specially arranged stone fire pit, with a steaming soup pot set above it.
Along the way, Yan Jing got to know the person in front of him somewhat.
Miao Yingshi, whose name is unknown for the time being, is also an Ember Apostle. His goal of appearing in this forest is actually somewhat similar to that of Yan Jing. He also wanted to find out what happened in the Luojiang Mountains.
If it were any other Ember Apostle, Yan Jing would definitely think that the other party thought that there was something profitable in the Luojiang Mountains, and wanted to come in and see if he could trigger a special event...
Well, that's what Yan Jing thinks.
Just thinking about Miao Yingshi's previous practice of exchanging the extraordinary fruit for the giant bear's life and then letting it go directly after rescuing it, Yan Jing always felt that this person was not that simple.
"The birds' attack on Shanqing City was forced. There is an unnatural consciousness in this mountain forest."
Miao Yingshi walked towards the elk, touched its forehead, then walked around it and slipped out an iron cage from behind it.
When Yan Jing saw what was in the cage, he couldn't help but frown.
There was a sick gray rabbit with two long ears drooping. If its abdomen wasn't still rumbling, Yan Jing would have even suspected it was dead.
Yan Jing had seen at least dozens of rabbits like this along his journey. He really didn't understand why Miao Yingshi had to lock it up specially, so he looked at the latter with confusion, wanting to know the answer.
"It's not a rabbit, it's just a disguise."
Miao Yingshi seemed to be not good at or unwilling to deal with people in simple and straightforward sentences. Every time he spoke, he either only had a few words or spoke very quickly, and his eyes were fixed on the food being cooked on the stone fire pit next to him.
Broth, without even looking at Yan Jing.
This is completely different from the gentleness he showed when he rescued the giant bear.
But Yan Jing doesn't care. People who can become Ember Apostles and live to this day have experienced all kinds of strange events, and there is no one that is not stained with blood. If there is no way to channel emotions, it is normal to have some corresponding quirks.
"camouflage?"
Yan Jing took two steps closer, his eyes fell on Gray Rabbit, and a light golden light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
Miao Yingshi, who was holding the iron cage, froze for a moment and then returned to normal. However, the gray rabbit in the cage suddenly trembled and rushed against the iron cage like crazy. However, this state did not last long and soon returned to normal.
Get depressed.
This is a test. Yan Jing releases his momentum. If he were an ordinary hare, he would only have one reaction, and that is to faint directly to the ground.
The rabbit in front of him reacted so fiercely, which proved that Miao Yingshi was right.
This guy just looks like a rabbit!
"You just said that there is a consciousness that is not natural in this mountain forest... Is this it?"
"It's just one of those things."
In order to prove his statement, Miao Yingshi walked towards the stone fire pit.
Place the iron cage on the ground, lift the lid of the pot, take a ladle of boiling broth, and pour it directly from the top of the iron cage.
The rabbit that looked like it would die at any moment a second ago suddenly twisted and deformed, its head suddenly raised, its eyes bulged with scarlet blood, and its three-petal mouth cracked into a ferocious mouthpart full of fangs, swallowing up all the broth.
Got it clean.
At this time, the rabbit looked like a meat worm, its whole body was squirming, and its supposed cute appearance now looked disgusting.
Hehe~sigh~
As if it had absorbed energy from the broth, the rabbit began to howl again.
Yan Jing looked at the monster in the cage that had completely changed species and looked terrifying.
The problems in the Luojiang Mountains were more serious than he imagined.
