Chapter 31: The Wind Wing Fox
"- Young Master, if you mess around like this again, I will definitely tell the master!"
Ran Li bit the jerky in his hand fiercely, and said in a muffled voice. In front of him, about two hundred paces away, under the hill, there were more than a dozen demon beasts gnawing on the four corpses, but his appetite was very good now, and it was not affected in the slightest.
However, when Ran Li's gaze touched the other side, the scene of death that had been disguised by Yue Yu, he couldn't help frowning again. "Wouldn't that be too easy?"
It's no wonder that he is apprehensive, Yue Yu's approach is indeed too simple. It's just a matter of casually throwing corpses, weapons, bows and arrows around, and then sprinkling the collected blood everywhere, and then patting the butt and it's done. This made Ran Li, who originally thought that Yue Yu would be here, and then carefully concocted some traces of battle, which was a big disappointment.
"So what else do you want? If you really want to do it, it's not easy. You think those old guys are really suspicious of us?"
The corners of Yue Yu's lips twitched slightly, and the experience of being a mercenary told him. It is far more difficult to camouflage a new scene than to simply eliminate traces. The reason why the corpses and weapons were thrown here was, in the final analysis, just to divert everyone's attention from the real murder scene.
- Although there are almost no traces that can be eliminated, Yue Yu does not dare to guarantee that the others will definitely not see anything.
Of course, the most important reason is that he really doesn't have time right now.
Killing, destroying evidence, removing corpses - by the time this was done, it was nearly noon. If you are busy here for a while, today's time is completely scrapped.
In fact, even now, if you count the time it takes to get back to the city, he only has two hours left to squander.
"Possibly, but it's very unlikely—"
Ran Li frowned and pondered for a long time before shaking his head. "But young master, don't forget that the two of us are also the closest to the place of the incident!"
Yue Yu didn't bother to pay attention to him anymore, just quietly nibbled on the dry food in his hand. He was going through the auxiliary system at the moment, watching the detailed records and images of the battle with Yue Youcheng just now.
The calculation and prediction functions of this auxiliary intelligent system are almost useless, but it is still extremely beneficial to look at its process and gain and loss analysis after the war, and Yue Yu can often benefit from it. Especially those battle videos, not only can they deepen Yue Yu's perception in battle, but they can also often absorb the opponent's martial arts essence.
However, just a moment later, Yue Yu suddenly raised his eyebrows and looked in the direction of another hill on his left. He seemed to hear a few roars and fights from there.
Quickly analyzing these sounds in his head, Yue Yu hurriedly put away the food in his hand and ran towards the hills over there like the wind. And Ran Li, who hadn't eaten half of the food over there, was stunned at first, and then scolded and picked up his giant axe and hurriedly followed.
At this moment, the two of them had already left the range of Heiyun Mountain and entered the sparse woodland outside the canyon for more than twenty miles. It was the area where those third-level demon beasts and fourth-level demon beasts were more active. Therefore, although Yue Yu was in a hurry to rush over, he didn't dare to be careless at all, and tried his best to pick up high places and downwind places to walk.
- The high place is convenient for them to detect the traces of the monsters in advance, and the downwind is to prevent their own smell from being smelled by the monsters on another hill.
Speaking of smells, in fact, the two of them were coated with some self-made potions made by Yue Yu, which were made from the urine and feces of wild beasts, mixed with some plants with strong smells. However, this is Yue Yu's experience of hunting in his previous life, and whether this world can play a role or not is two theories. However, since entering this woodland, unless they encounter them head-on, there are indeed no monsters to trouble them.
In just a few minutes, Yue Yu and Ran Li came behind a mountain rock, and both Ran Li and Yue Yu were full of caution and solemnity at this moment.
――In front of the rock where they were hiding, four demon beasts were fighting each other. Three of them resemble raccoons, the size of baby elephants, and a single horn on their foreheads. And surrounded by them was a red winged fox-like demon beast. The latter fanned a pair of small fleshy wings, and rushed around against the wind, trying to escape from the encirclement. However, the horned civets are also very agile, and they can always get ahead of the red fox.
"What kind of monster is this?"
Ran Li looked curiously at the red fox in the center. These four demon beasts are all second-level and upper-level levels. The one-horned civet is also extremely common near this canyon, and there are nearly a hundred communities nearby, but only this one in the middle, he has never heard of or seen it.
However, being able to contend with three demon beasts of the same level with one's own strength is naturally a bit extraordinary.
"It should be the Wind Wing Xuanhu!"
Yue Yu hesitated, he wasn't very sure about this guess, he just felt that the shape of this demon beast was somewhat similar to the descriptions of the Wind Wing Xuanhu that he had seen in the book. And Ran Li next to him was slightly shocked.
In this world, in addition to fifteen levels, there are fifteen levels to divide the level of demon beasts. There are also four genera, namely divine beasts, spirit beasts, exotic beasts, and proto-beasts, which are used to distinguish the innate roots and qualifications of demon beasts. Within the same level, the strength of the alien beast is several times stronger than that of the original beast. And on top of this, the spirit beast is far superior to these two.
Like these three one-horned civets, they are the genus of the original beast. Although it is the top level among them, close to the level of alien beasts, it is still the bottom of the demon beasts, the most ordinary existence in the world.
And this Wind Wing Xuanhu is a top-grade beast, and even after the fourth order, there is a chance to advance to the spirit beast level. And the reason why Ran Li knew about it was because of the fame of this Wind Wing Xuanhu in the Northern Wilderness.
――About a few hundred years ago, a sixth-level wind-winged fox lurking in the north was provoked by someone. Suddenly out of the mountains and forests, attack the human town. More than 400,000 people died in that catastrophe, and it was not until the northern cities joined forces and gathered several innate powerhouses that they were severely damaged, but they were finally escaped.
The Wind Wing Xuan Fox has a pair of flesh wings, once it is completely grown, it can fly to a height of more than 20,000 meters, it is good at riding the wind, and the speed is abnormally fast, it is really the most difficult to entangle, and it is also the most difficult to kill a kind of demon beast.
And legend has it that the Yue family also participated in that siege. After that, he suddenly went south and chose a new place to build the city, just to avoid the sixth-level wind-winged Xuanhu who had escaped and take revenge after recovering from his injuries.
――Demon beasts of this level, as long as they are above the alien beasts, most of them have already opened their spiritual intelligence. With such a deep hatred, how can you not come back to take revenge?
And surrounded by the one-horned civet is a young beast of a wind-winged fox. Although this high-grade spirit beast was extremely powerful, before the fifth level, it was not much stronger than an ordinary primordial beast. The pair of fleshy wings have not yet grown, so naturally they can't fly, and the advantage in speed is not very obvious.
In front of the eyes of at least the two of them, these three unicorn civets have a certain upper hand, and there are two deep wounds on the abdomen and back of the wind-winged fox. However, the first three are also very embarrassed, and carefully circle around the outside, until they find an opportunity to take advantage of it, and will not attack. The claws and teeth of the wind-winged fox are sharp, and the reaction is also extremely fast, and when he came before, he had already left a lot of wounds on the three unicorn civets. And in the few encounters after the arrival of the two, the counterattack was even more fierce. It is also thanks to the rough skin and thick flesh of this one-horned bear that it can still be alive. Changed to a low-level demon beast with weak defense, I am afraid that it has already died.
Looking at the battle between these four demon beasts, Yue Yu was slightly curious, and he didn't know what the reason for this bear civet and wind fox was that they would not retreat from such a fight to the death. It is said that the latter is a carnivorous demon beast, and the former is a herbivorous demon beast, so it shouldn't be involved. And with the strength of these three bears, no matter how hungry the wind fox is, it will only catch those lower-level demon beasts, and will not easily find trouble with them.
