【017】Canyon at night
"Mr. Hemerway, is this the power of the dispenser?"
Einstein looked at Zhang Sen with sparkling eyes, and his admiration was overflowing, in today's words, that is, he became a fan in seconds.
"It's not the power of the pharmacist, now hurry up and clean up, we must get out of this place quickly."
Zhang Sen said bluntly, and then quickly packed up his things, and by the way, carefully removed the poisonous snake's fangs, and also packed up the poison sac.
After packing up everything they could use, the two of them quickly left, found a flat land with a good view, and then stopped to rest.
In fact, Zhang Sen was really exhausted and tried his best to deal with the two unknown big snakes.
The main reason is that his competitive body is just the quality of an ordinary person, and he must concentrate all his energy to be able to fight against the big snake, and that series of manipulations is extremely sophisticated, and there is no room for any mistakes, because once it goes wrong, it is basically a dead end, and there is no second possibility.
So he was actually very tired, and when he relaxed, he felt a dull pain in his nerves, so he couldn't help but close his eyes.
Although Einstein had 100,000 reasons in his heart to ask, he also saw Zhang Sen's exhaustion, so he rationally lit a bonfire and began to prepare food.
Ten minutes later, Zhang Sen opened his eyes, he finally felt a lot better, he took out the water bladder and drank several sips of water, and continued: "This place is even more dangerous than I expected, you better consider going back, as for the shadow rat, I will stay and find a way to catch it." ”
"How's that going to work?"
Einstein immediately quit when he heard this.
Although he was almost scared by the big snake, but seeing Zhang Sen's strength, he still had a lot of confidence in exploring the entire canyon, and he was not really helpless, he was just frightened by the sudden big snake.
Zhang Sen frowned slightly, and finally sighed: "Whatever you want, but I may not be able to protect you, so you must be mentally prepared to save yourself." ”
"Mr. Hemerway, can you teach me swordsmanship? I can pay! Einstein said at this time, just now Zhang Sen said that it is not the power of the pharmacist, in fact, he has already moved his mind in this regard.
Zhang Sen thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, but the tuition fee is very expensive!" ”
"No problem, as long as it's a matter of money, it's not a problem." Einstein immediately patted his chest and said, and the atmosphere of the local tyrant suddenly burst into flames.
Zhang Sen said lightly: "Forget it tonight, I'll teach you some basic moves from tomorrow, you practice first." ”
"Okay." Albert Einstein nodded.
Next, the two began to fiddle with the snake meat, which had been sliced by Zhang Sen and roasted to be edible, and Zhang Sen tasted it and found that it tasted unexpectedly good.
As night fell, Zhang Sen and Einstein set up a bonfire, but the two did not really rest around the bonfire, but hid under a boulder not far away.
The stars twinkled in the dark blue sky, the ground burned with flames, the branches crackled, and the sounds of various insects came from the pitch-black grass all around, and for a moment the whole world seemed to be silent.
Einstein's breathing gradually slowed down and he had fallen into a deep sleep, while Zhang Sen always remained in a light sleep, as long as there was a slight disturbance, he could immediately detect and react.
In the middle of the night, suddenly the sound of all insects disappeared instantly, Zhang Sen immediately opened his eyes, he first looked at Einstein, after making sure that Einstein did not have an accident, he continued to look at the bonfire, the bonfire was still burning, but it was already smaller, and finally he looked around.
Countless tiny points of light flew in the darkness, and he got up and quickly climbed to the top of the boulder, only to see many green eyes in the distance, but it seemed that he had found something and disappeared quickly, and he could vaguely see that it was a deer.
He squinted his eyes and seemed to see a fluorescent tree, and many tiny dots of light would eventually fall on the fluorescent tree, and the tree was moving.
Although he knew that he should not take the risk, he finally jumped off the boulder, drew his Western sword, and carefully chased in the direction of the fluorescent tree.
The night is his best disguise, his body sometimes exposes a little figure under the light, and sometimes it is completely hidden in the shadows, and the whole person flickers and flickers, quickly chasing after him.
In the blink of an eye, he came to the location where he had been attacked by the big snake before, a group of wild wolves with flaming hair on their backs were dividing the body of the big snake, and there was even a silver creature similar to an orangutan lying on the ground, also bitten with blood everywhere, already dying, and from the degree of messiness around it, it can be guessed that there must have been a big brawl here.
He quietly bypassed the wolves and continued to chase towards the fluorescent tree, a bird staring at him with blazing eyes, cooing from time to time, and finally he pulled out a throwing knife from his waist and shot it, and the frightened bird quickly flew away.
"Huh, that's the Shadow Rat?"
Suddenly, he saw a gray mouse behind him.
In fact, it is not appropriate to say that it is a mouse, because this play is 108,000 miles different from a mouse, although its body is also gray, but the overall look is much more cute, not so much a mouse as a mink.
The shadow rat found Zhang Sen's gaze, and the next moment his body rushed into the grass, and disappeared in a blink of an eye, and Zhang Sen, who was fast, did not react at all.
"So fast!"
Zhang Sen was stunned for a moment, and finally couldn't help but sigh.
If he could reach the speed of the Shadow Rat, he could do a lot of things.
Although he wanted to catch the Shadow Rat, the problem was that it was basically impossible to keep up with the speed of the Shadow Rat, so he had to continue to move towards the location of the Fluorescent Tree, he wanted to see what kind of strange thing it was.
In fact, it was safer for him to walk the canyon at night than during the day, and with the ability of Shadow Flea, he shuttled through the woods like a ghost, and many strange creatures came into view, giving him a deeper understanding of the canyon.
The big snake he encountered during the day, he also encountered it, and there was not just one such big snake, but many, many of them.
It is a social animal, mainly living in the hoobo, and if only the belly is exposed, it is a bit like a herd of hippos.
Finally, he saw the fluorescent tree on the other side of the lake, but after seeing the posture of the fluorescent tree clearly, he didn't dare to approach it.
It was an elephant-sized toad with a large fluorescent tree growing above its head, like a crown.
It sat on a rock, and no animal dared to approach it, not even the serpent walked around it, as if it were the only monarch of the valley.
This is definitely a top-level monster, the problem is that Zhang Sen still doesn't know anything about monsters at the moment, he knows very well that this canyon is likely to be a strange paradise, but he doesn't know what the names of the monsters living here are.
But he knew that this was definitely a forbidden area for humans, and if he was spotted by a monster, he would likely be attacked.
In desperation, he had no choice but to turn around and leave, heading back in the direction of the campfire.
As he passed by the wolves, he found a small detail, the closest to the carcass of the great snake, with the footprints of a toad.
As soon as his mind turned, he had a bold guess, the toad was likely to come to mediate this dispute, and if it wasn't for the toad's mediation, it was likely that the animal scuffle would continue, and finally this place was full of corpses.
Of course, this is just his speculation, and it is difficult to say whether this is the case or not.
After a while, he returned to the makeshift camp, and the bonfire was unsurprisingly small again, and he refilled the firewood and returned to rest in the shadows.
But tonight may not have been the day to let him sleep well, at five o'clock, a cold wind woke him up again.
This wind is different from ordinary winds, and the cold feeling is like the yin wind of some wizards who are good at manipulating souls, simply put, the wind mixed with yin energy.
Could it be that there are ghosts in this canyon?
Zhang Sen immediately sat up, now with his ability, I am afraid that with only one evil spirit, he will be helpless.
However, flames can generally make ghosts feel afraid, and they can affect the existence of ghosts a little, so he quickly walked to the location of the campfire, pulled out a burning firewood, and carefully walked in the direction where the yin wind was blowing.
The movement of the yin wind was changing, and he followed the wind to sweep away the weeds one after another, and gradually saw a touch of white.
He looked over with wide eyes, only to see an army of skeletons marching in one direction in a neat pace.
This is a very tattered army of skeletons, and there are even several skeletons, and the soles of their feet are completely gone, and they are completely relying on the bones of their feet to walk.
Some of them held long knives, some held shields, some held spears, and some held bows and arrows, looking like a ragtag army, but Zhang Sen had understood the composition of the army in this world and knew that this was probably a special army from decades ago.
The special army is the concept first proposed by the Principality of Baojindan, and unlike the special forces we know, the special forces of this world are like a large ranger team, gathering various types of troops to exert strong combat effectiveness, especially the ability to decapitate.
"Can this world contain necromancy?"
Zhang Sen watched the skeleton soldiers gradually leave, and he was full of doubts in his heart, and couldn't help but secretly say in his heart.
But he actually tried the meditation method, but he couldn't generate any mana at all, which means that this world should not be compatible with any other abilities, so what about these skeleton soldiers?
The main thing is that these skeletons are too similar to those summoned by necromancers, and there is almost no difference.
He thought about it, and finally gritted his teeth and decided to follow along.
These skeletons must have a secret in them, and if they can learn this secret, they may not be able to unlock the necromancy they possess, which is very important to him.
Of course, the odds were slim, but he felt he had to fight for it.
The skeletons were moving fast, and he trotted for a while to catch up with them, and then hung away.
