Chapter 897: Fighting for the Wilderness
A heavy rain had just fallen in the jungle, diluting the bloody smell of the corpses.
If she were an ordinary hunter, she would probably miss her target because of this, but for Loga, the smell of the air after the rain was enough to tell her a lot of information.
For example, there was more than one animal carcass there - some of them had a pure smell of blood, while others had a hint of rancidity, which proves that multiple animals had died in one place.
It is difficult for small prey such as rabbits, rats, and foxes to spread their breath so far, and even if they do, they should not be so clear. In other words, the dead are basically large animals, at least in size should not be smaller than cattle and horses.
Those who can drag these big guys to one place must also have the corresponding strength themselves, and the behavior of gathering multiple corpses is mostly due to the habit of carnivores to store food.
Such sites are often the nests of large predators.
Of course, the most important thing is that Luo Jia caught an indescribably cloudy aura in the fishy smell, which is the characteristic smell of the blood of mixed evil beasts. If she doesn't change into a wolf, she can only smell a pungent stench. It was only after she had used her abilities that she could detect the subtleties that were hidden within.
That's the smell of magic.
Not every hybrid can contain magic power, but the one that contains magic in the blood must be a hybrid species, and its strength is far beyond that of ordinary evil beasts.
This is one of the improvements that months of bush hunting have brought her.
If she had mastered this technique long before the Holy Duel, the four-winged eagle that launched a surprise attack from the sky would not have been able to catch the horn of her coat.
Although the climate, environment and prey of the wilderness are very different from those of the desert, the hunting skills are universal—to sum up nothing more than three points: prudence, meticulousness, and patience.
Loga is targeting a burly bear-type hybrid.
It stood three people tall and at first glance looked like a moving tower. I don't know which evil beasts it mixed into, its skin is like armor, even if it is a sharp wolf fang, it can't kill it with a single blow. What's even more terrifying is the head - the bear species actually has four eyes, two of which grow at the back of the head, which makes her best attack around the back, bleeding and cutting throat lose the effect of the past.
Five days ago, Luo Jia had fought the other party, and after a fierce battle, she broke two claws, and the bear species dropped half of her forepaw, and her stomach was covered with bloody scars. It can be said that this is the most difficult enemy she has encountered since entering the Savage Land, and its strength is about the same as that of the Desert Divine Beast. If it hadn't been fully tempered beforehand, if she had met this guy at the beginning, she would probably have been the one who ran away.
However, this is a hunt, not a fair duel - she carries herbs cultivated by leaves, purified water made by Lily, and strong recovery ability after transformation, so there is no need to worry about ordinary injuries. These days, in addition to healing her wounds, she spends the rest of her time searching for bear species.
As the smell grew stronger, Luo Jia knew that the winner would soon be decided.
She stepped lightly over a puddle of water, the pad sinking into the wet dirt with barely a sound. The place to cut into is the downwind port, and it will be difficult for the other party to detect her presence through the smell. Closer to the source of the scent, she pricked up her ears and used the sound to locate her target's direction as she raised her claws to slowly remove the vines in front of her.
The body of a bear-type hybrid appeared in her sight.
Unaware of her arrival, the other party was biting on a fat buck, its cheeks covered with blood gushing out, and its severed limbs exposed its bones made it look particularly terrifying. If it is an ordinary animal, it will be so badly injured that it will definitely shrink listlessly in a hidden place, and it will basically not act rashly until it recovers. But it didn't seem to care about the wounds, as if filling the stomach was more important than anything else.
The wolf girl tensed her hind legs and slumped down slightly—this time she planned to destroy the beast's eyes first, so that it would never be able to escape.
Just as she was about to go, another series of footsteps suddenly came from the depths of the dense forest.
This made Luo Jia a little stunned for a while.
Why is there such a rhythmic bipedal stride in the depths of the wilderness?
The steps are very heavy, there is no hidden meaning at all, and the sound of alternating steps is unique to humans, and it is ...... More than one.
Could it be that the Orion of Neverwinter has lost his way?
No...... She quickly dismissed the suspicion, as it was more than ten days' walk from the Grey Keep's borders, and given the dense woods and overgrown grass, the land would only travel more slowly. Not to mention that after crossing the steppe, there are fierce beasts and snakes everywhere, and the area around the ruins of Tachira is a place where mixed evil beasts haunt it. Even if you get lost, you won't be able to make it here alive.
Luo Jia suddenly thought of an answer.
A plausible and long-awaited answer.
At that moment, she felt the cold hairs all over her body stand up, and her heart seemed to pound - despite the high tension of her nerves, her body instantly entered the best fighting state.
The bear species also noticed the unusual noise, and it dropped half of the deer's leg, rolled over and got up, and let out a hoarse roar in the direction of its footsteps.
The bushes shook, the staggered branches were pushed away, and two hideous-looking monsters emerged from the shadows.
Dark-brown skin, muscular arms, enveloping bone helmets, and sharp bone spears.
It's exactly the same as the description in Lightning's mouth-
They are the devil!
She's finally there!
And when the devil showed up, the bear-type hybrid attacked violently.
It raised its intact forepaws and lunged at the uninvited guests who were disturbing its meal, not at all like a body of this size could do.
In addition to the strength of the bear species itself, this blow also comes with the impact of the entire body, and its effect is no less than the high-altitude dive of the four-winged eagle. In the case of the third princess, the first reaction must be to avoid it, after all, if you are not an extraordinary person, even if you can block this palm, you will pay a lot of price.
One of the devil's arms swelled up rapidly, directly meeting the giant palm of the evil beast, and with a muffled sound, the two monsters collided together without any buffer!
The result is a balance of power!
Neither the bear nor the devil can go any further. It's just a single-round individual, and the devil is half a cut shorter than the other party, and a stalemate is obviously not good for it.
However, there is not only one devil on the scene.
The other mad had removed the bone spear and aimed it at the hybrid beast.
The battle was coming to an end, and there was not much time left for Loga to think about it.
Do you want to go or stay?
"Although the pipes behind them are the devil's weakness, they are not easy to deal with," a lightning warning suddenly sounded in her mind, "If you do encounter an enemy, it is best to retreat immediately and tell His Majesty Roland the news." 」
Reason also told her that she should retreat for a while at such a time, but the instinct to fight boiled in her chest.
No, it's not a question to consider.
The danger exists, but that's what she's here for, isn't it?
And according to the intelligence, the mad demon will have a period of obvious weakness after expanding her arms, and she may not be able to take advantage of the one-on-two!
"Whoa—"
With a cracking sound, the devil threw the bone spear in his hand.
Almost at the same time, Luo Jia jumped out of hiding place and bit straight at the devil who was in a stalemate with the bear!
