Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Ghost Lynx
Standing at the intersection outside the dense forest and hesitating for a while, Shen Shi seemed to have made up his mind, but when he looked up again, he found that the other people who came from the same boat had already dispersed, and the surroundings were empty, but there were faint figures in the forest in front of him, and it seemed that there were quite a few of them.
This path is a shortcut to the direction of the Demon Hunting Cave on Demon Island, and most of the disciples of the Ling Xiao Sect who have come to the Demon Island have gone to the depths of the Demon Island from here, including the Demon Hunting Cave, but although Shen Shi's mind has moved, he still hasn't thought about the mysterious Demon Trapping Cave, and after pondering for a while, he still didn't set foot on this road, but turned around and walked towards the empty beach.
The sky is blue and the sea is quiet, the dense forest is quiet, Shen Shi walked for a while, and gradually left the seawall behind, and when he couldn't see it, he stopped on the beach, beside him was the clear sea water, and on the other side of the white sand beach, it was a dense forest, which was lush with branches and leaves, and he couldn't really see anything.
Shen Shi took a deep breath, turned around, faced the woods, and slowly leaned over.
The reason why I didn't take the road that everyone started was because there were too many people over there, even if the territory of Demon Island was wide, but walking in the same direction, not to mention whether there would be a scramble for prey and demon beasts, at least the chance of being seen on the side when doing it was indeed not small.
And Shen Shi's concerns are also here, the reason why he can hunt alone on the demon island now is that the biggest reliance is on his superiority in the Five Elements Technique, but in terms of the strength that he has just broken through the high-level realm of the Qi Refining Realm, the Five Elements Technique that is about to explode includes many talismans, it is difficult for people to believe that the strength that a rookie disciple on the Blue Fish Island can master, if it is not good, it will cause great trouble, especially since the root of all this is the Pure Heart Mantra with the secret of the Demon Clan, in case it is known...... Shen Shi actually didn't know what the consequences would be, but he didn't want to take this risk.
So he chose to stay away from the crowd and try to enter the forest from the edge of a dense forest far away from the beach of Demon Island.
Over the years, the distribution of many monsters and ghosts on the demon island has been a well-known common sense, the monsters on the outer edge of the beach are the most weak, after entering the forest, the deeper the demon island, the stronger the monsters will increase in turn, of course, the greater the danger, and the most dangerous place on the entire demon island, of course, is the mysterious demon trapping cave.
There are not only high-level and powerful demon beasts hiding in the demon hunting cave, but also weird and fierce yin spirit ghosts, and I don't know why the ancestors of the Ling Xiao Sect who founded the demon island back then would arrange such a vicious place, but it is said that the entrance of the demon hunting cave has a strong prohibition left by the ancestors of the predecessors, and no ghost can escape from the hole.
Since Shen Shi chose such a remote place to enter the dense forest, there is naturally no ready-made path in front of him, but fortunately, there are mostly tall trees in this dense forest, and there are some shrubs that cannot be named in the low places, but not much, not to the point where he is too thorny to walk.
Shen Shi cautiously walked into the woods, and after stepping over the trunk of the first big tree, he felt that the light above his head suddenly dimmed a little, it was blocked by the dense branches and leaves, but the light beams that penetrated through the gaps in the leaves still turned into small pillars of light that shook in this forest, illuminating this quiet forest.
There was silence all around, except for the low chirping of insects from an unknown place, and not even the usual birdsong in the woods. Shen Shi's face was solemn, he thought for a moment, and then turned his palm, and he had already taken out two earthy yellow talismans from the small Ruyi ring in his right hand, one was water archery and the other was earth sinking.
He held a talisman in each hand, and held it in the palm of his hand with the two fingers of his index finger and middle finger, which was a state that could be activated at any time, with his ability to cast various first-order spell talismans in just one breath, with these two talismans, he should be able to deal with all kinds of unexpected situations.
Feeling the touch coming from the palm talisman, Shen Shi's heart was a lot more steady, he had been fighting with all kinds of low-level demon beasts on Demon Island for more than a year, and it had almost faded his original fear of demon beasts in his heart.
Holding the talisman in hand, he walked forward slowly, the surrounding woods still looked quiet, but there seemed to be danger hidden everywhere in this silence, the sound of gentle footsteps sounded slowly and rhythmically in the forest, Shen Shi bypassed one big tree after another, patiently and cautiously searched the woods, looking for his prey.
Suddenly, a low roar came from the depths of the forest in front of Shen Shi's side, Shen Shi's spirit was lifted, and an arrow step hid behind the thick trunk of a big tree, and after hiding his body, he quietly poked his head out and looked carefully in that direction.
Under the shade of the trees in the woods, there was a low bush, and at this moment I saw the branches and leaves swinging, and after a while, a vigorous black figure came out.
It was a demon beast, at first glance it looked like a black panther, and like a huge wild cat, the whole body was pure black, the body size was about the same as a calf, the ears were spiky, and a pair of green eyes swept the surroundings coldly, walking softly and silently, if it wasn't for the roar before, Shen Shi might not have been able to discover this demon beast in advance.
It's just that Shen Shi, who was hiding behind the tree, was stunned suddenly, because he recognized this demon beast at a glance, its name is "Ghost Shadow Lynx", it is a fierce demon beast living on the demon island, agile and brutal by nature, and even he remembers that one day a year ago, Gan Ze once told him that he had hunted the same ghost shadow lynx.
But these are not the point, Shen Shi still clearly remembers that there was a trace of confusion in his heart at the beginning, that is, the nature of the ghost shadow lynx is actually a nocturnal demon beast, and it usually comes out to forage after dark in the evening.
He looked up at the sky, and although there were thick foliage blocking his head, the bright light that came through the gaps in the foliage showed that it was still daytime with the sun rising.
Since there is a second ghost shadow lynx with abnormal behavior, it means that the abnormality of this demon beast is not an accidental phenomenon, but why does the ghost shadow lynx on this demon island have such a strange and unnatural behavior?
Shen Shi was puzzled in his heart, but at this moment, the demon beast was on his side, and he couldn't allow him to calm down and think carefully, and a pair of eyes were firmly fixed on this demon beast. Soon, he found that this ghost shadow lynx really didn't seem to be quite right, according to the legend, this kind of monster beast has always been a sinister and patient hunter, usually hunting often hiding in the shadows, waiting for the prey to get close to the sudden rush out, a fatal blow, much like those insidious and ruthless killers in the human race.
But at this moment, the ghost lynx in front of him did not look like a calm killer at all, but obviously showed a violent anger, let out a few low roars from time to time, and his head kept turning around, and even the sharp claws that were originally hidden in the flesh pads on his feet were stretched out at this moment, and from time to time they scratched twice on the ground or on the trunk of a tree on the side, leaving deep scratches, and it looked like he was eager to find an opponent to fight immediately.
Shen Shi's brows slowly furrowed.
The behavior of this ghost shadow lynx was so strange that Shen Shi's heart was really a little bottomless, and for a while, he didn't know whether to deal with this monster beast with strange behavior. However, just as he was hesitating, the ghost shadow lynx unconsciously walked almost two or three feet away from him, and suddenly, the demon beast raised its head suddenly, sniffed a few times in the air, and then roared violently, but it turned its head all of a sudden and stared in the direction where Shen Shi was hiding.
Shen Shi's heart sank, and his first reaction was that it was bad.
And the ghost shadow lynx looked like it was ferocious in an instant, and it didn't care what was behind the tree, and with a roar, its figure turned into a black lightning bolt and rushed over.
At this moment, Shen Shi left all his thoughts behind at once, and there was only this vicious demon beast in front of him. He took two steps back with a calm face, and with a flip of his palm, he was already facing the ghost shadow lynx that pounced.
A breath, a breath, a breath.
Like the fragment of the surrounding light, the woods lit up with an earthy yellow light.
The Earth Sinking Talisman is activated.
The swift figure of the ghost shadow lynx that turned into a black shadow suddenly seemed to be suddenly carried on a boulder of several hundred catties, and it suddenly slowed down, and the speed was instantly slowed down several times, this sudden weight made the ghost shadow lynx let out an angry and confused roar, still frantically wanting to rush forward again, but the earthy yellow light condensed around its body was like a thousand catties of heavy burden, pressing him to slow down.
And the next moment, another white transparent stream of water broke through the air, emitting a sharp scream, shaking the nearby forest.
The ghost shadow lynx suppressed by the earth sinking technique, its body was sluggish and moving slowly, even if it saw this water archery technique for the first time and made a dodge action, but its body seemed to be not controlled by it at the moment, and it was only a little flashed, and the water archery technique had already landed on its forehead.
Pierce!
The ghost shadow lynx let out an angry and desperate roar, this kind of demon beast is vigorous, agile and ferocious, but it does not have the strength of hard skin and thick flesh, so under the power of water archery, the ghost shadow lynx that was hit by the key finally collapsed after several struggles.
Shen Shi, who was standing on the side, stared at the demon beast cautiously, until he was sure that it was indeed dead, then he came over, stared at the ghost shadow lynx for a while, and then squatted down and turned its body over, and looked carefully, but it seemed that everything was normal with this demon beast, except for the same behavior at the beginning, at least this ghost shadow lynx was completely normal physically.
But something must be wrong......
Shen Shi had such a thought in his heart, but he couldn't understand it, but he just had a trace of doubt and haze in his heart. But no matter what, today is the first time he has defeated a stronger demon beast alone, and the combination of the Five Elements Spell and the talisman really burst out with astonishing power, which makes his heart full of joy.
Forget it, whatever, maybe the monsters on this demon island are so weird......
Shen Shi thought in his heart while peeling off the spiritual material of the ghost shadow lynx.
