Chapter 417: Fighting the Mountain-Crossing Gold-Eating Beast
Chapter 417: Fighting the Mountain-Crossing Gold-Eating Beast
The middle section of the Southern Forest Secret Realm.
The summer grass was like a nimble kitten. It quietly climbed up the red mountain that seemed to be dyed by the sunset, then held its breath and quietly hid in a secret corner.
The mountain is covered with dense shrubs, and everywhere you look, there are Purgatory Fire Date trees. These Purgatory Fire Date trees are short and not even as high as a person's knee, but there are flames burning on them that are like jumping elves. From a distance, they look like their uniquely shaped leaves.
In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the sky orange and red.
The mountain-eating gold-eating beast finally slowly emerged from its deep cave. Today, its belly was so full that it looked like a bag full of treasures.
It ran with cheerful steps to the Purgatory Fire Date Forest that was burning most vigorously, and rolled around excitedly. Its round body rolled around happily in the Fire Date Forest, like a carefree child playing to its heart's content.
Xia Cao was hiding in the dark, with only a small head showing. His bright eyes were fixed on the mountain-eating gold beast, and he kept all this in his mind silently.
Unconsciously, a sly smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. There was a cunning in that smile, and she had already thought of several ways to deal with the monster in her mind.
The reason why she chose this relatively gentle-looking gold-eating beast instead of the infamous and terrifying red-flame snake was because the reputation of the red-flame snake was too terrifying.
It is the leader of the ten great monsters in the Qi Refining Secret Realm. Just by listening to it, you know that it is absolutely not to be provoked.
She wanted to perform well in front of her master and show her ability and value, but she also wanted to live and wanted to give her body and mind to her master without reservation.
After two days of careful observation, Xia Cao had already figured out the behavior of this mountain-eating gold beast. During these two days, she also stood on the mountain and kept looking down, but she didn't see a single person. After that, she secretly estimated in her heart, "No one will dare to take advantage of this."
Next, Xia Cao began to work tirelessly. Her forehead was gradually covered with sweat, but she had no intention of stopping. Her eyes were full of determination and expectation, just waiting for the mountain-eating gold-eating beast to take the bait.
The secret realm of Nanlin.
sixth day.
In the evening, the weather was red and gloomy tonight. The thick clouds seemed to be stained with blood, like a weird and depressing picture hanging in the sky.
The dark red gives people a strong sense of oppression, as if the whole world is shrouded in this depressing atmosphere.
There was a sense of uneasiness in the air, as if some terrible conspiracy was quietly brewing in the boundless darkness.
The mountain-eating golden beast slowly emerged from its cave. Today, it was still full of food. Its bulging belly almost dragged on the ground, swaying slightly with its steps, making it look clumsy and cute.
It walked with a cheerful pace, and from time to time it made a satisfied humming sound, as if announcing its happiness to the world.
It ran to the purgatory fire date forest that burned the most vigorously, and rolled around excitedly. Its round body rolled around happily in the fire date forest, bringing up flying sparks, like bright stars twinkling in the darkness.
"Ow—"
The happy mountain-eating gold-eating beast suddenly let out a shrill scream.
The sound seemed particularly harsh and tragic in the quiet evening, as if a sharp blade had cut through the peaceful night sky.
In the gaps between its scales, glowing poisonous needles had been inserted at some point. The poisonous needles penetrated deeply into its body, causing a piercing pain.
The faint light on the poison needle flickered with an eerie glow, as if telling a terrifying story.
The mountain-eating gold beast twisted its body in pain, trying to shake off the poisonous needles, but to no avail.
Its eyes were filled with fear and pain, as if questioning why the world was so cruel.
Seeing that the beast had fallen into the trap, Xia Cao did not dare to let down her guard at all. She jumped out from her hiding place like an agile leopard.
As soon as he raised his arm, a dense mass of silver needles shot towards the mountain-eating gold beast like a rainstorm. The silver needles flashed coldly in the afterglow of the setting sun, and rushed straight towards the target with a whirring sound.
"Jingle, clang, clang."
A crisp sound was heard. Most of the silver needles hit its hard scales and bounced off, rolling everywhere like beads with a broken string, and only a few of them penetrated its body.
The mountain-eating gold beast, which was rolling happily, suddenly stopped. Its eyes suddenly turned red, and its eyes seemed to be able to spit fire, staring at the person who brought it misfortune.
Its body suddenly began to grow larger, and its already thick scales stood up one by one, like sharp knives, flashing a frightening light.
Then, silver needles were squeezed out of its body and fell to the ground. However, the places where the poison needles had pierced were still covered with smelly black things, which seemed to tell the power of the poison.
"Ow—"
The mountain-eating gold beast raised its head and screamed, the sound made the surrounding leaves fall and startled a flock of birds.
It opened its big mouth, revealing its sharp fangs, and then rushed towards the person who had brought it misfortune like a car out of control, causing a gust of wind and raising a lot of dust.
Xia Cao looked at the still lively beast and suddenly lost confidence in the poison he had carefully prepared. His originally confident expression turned a little panicked, and his brows knitted tightly.
She never expected that this beast had such a strong ability to resist poison, and her own poison seemed to have no major effect on it.
However, she didn't panic completely, because she still had a trick up her sleeve. She tried to calm herself down, and a little hope appeared in her eyes.
Sure enough, when the mountain-eating gold-eating beast was halfway through its run, it fell into a carefully set trap with a "plop".
The trap was bottomless and filled with sharp spear tips. The spear tips in the trap were also coated with a deadly poison, and the poison shone with a strange light on the spear tips.
But there was no way. The scales of the gold-eating mountain beast were too hard. These first-level weapons only scratched a few shallow marks on its scales and could not really hurt it.
It struggled violently for a few times, and the gun tips in the trap broke, and the trap could no longer do anything to it.
When it struggled to get out of the trap, its eyes became more ferocious and hot air blew out of its mouth, as if it wanted to burn everything in front of it.
"It's okay? Its skin is too thick, right?" Xia Cao couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, her voice trembling a little.
Beads of sweat covered her forehead, and she had already thought about running away. But when she thought that she would get nothing if she gave up, she gritted her teeth and decided to try again.
At this time, Xia Cao could only continue to lead it to a trap below. She walked quickly with hurried steps according to the route she remembered.
The mountain-eating gold beast was already furious at this time, and chased desperately regardless of the consequences. Its speed was extremely fast, and the distance between it and Xia Cao was getting closer and closer.
Soon, it fell into a new trap. The knife tips in the trap were flashing cold light and were densely packed.
But it still rolled itself into a ball, relying on its hard scales, and the tip of the knife could not pierce it at all. As it continued to twist its body, the long knives in the trap could not withstand its force and broke one after another, making a series of crisp breaking sounds.
The mountain-eating gold beast that crawled out of the trap was obviously completely enraged. It displayed its magical power, and instantly four pairs of stone spears stood up around it, shooting towards Xia Cao like sharp arrows.
Xia Cao panicked and dodged desperately. His agile figure shuttled back and forth on the edge of life and death, and he finally escaped without any danger.
However, the mountain-eating gold beast did not give up, and it rushed towards her again. Its huge body brought up a gust of wind, and it was very aggressive.
Xia Cao was already a little panicked at this time, and secretly thanked himself in his heart: "Fortunately, I still have one last trap."
She hurried towards the next trap, her steps were messy but she did not dare to pause for even a moment.
The mountain-eating gold-eating beast was chasing closely at an astonishing speed and would soon catch up with Xia Cao.
At the critical moment, Xia Cao rolled suddenly to the side.
The mountain-eating gold beast was unable to stop in time and rushed straight forward. Its feet slipped and it fell into a new trap.
Faced with this trap full of sword tips flashing a cold green light, the mountain-eating gold beast did the same as the previous two times. After a few struggles, it used its thick scales to break all the sword tips in the trap.
After a while, the gold-eating beast crawled out of the trap.
Looking at the mountain-crawling gold-eating beast that easily crawled out of the trap, Xia Cao was completely helpless.
This thing has thick skin and hard flesh, there's no way to break its defense, and its resistance to poison is so strong, how can we fight it?
"escape!"
Xia Cao turned around and ran without hesitation.
Her figure was like a flash of lightning, shuttling through the woods.
However, how could the mountain-eating gold beast, which had been irritated by her, give up? It blocked Xia Cao's way in an instant like a speeding express train.
The huge body exudes a strong sense of oppression, which makes people terrified.
His magical powers were displayed, and eight stone spears slowly rose from the ground and flew towards Xia Cao.
The stone spear carried a sharp momentum, as if it could pierce through everything.
Xia Cao dodged in panic, her agile figure hovering on the edge of life and death. Although she tried her best, her clothes were still torn, leaving a bloody mark.
"My body belongs to my master, how dare you hurt it!!!"
Xia Cao's hair stood on end and he looked like a madman.
There was a flame of anger burning in her eyes, as if she wanted to burn the mountain-eating gold beast to ashes.
At this point, she had given up the idea of escaping and had sentenced this mountain-eating gold-eating beast to death.
Although she is very angry now, she will not be blinded by anger as she came from a dark prison.
The reason why she chose to stay was because she saw that the gold-eating mountain beast had several scales missing from its body, revealing the tender flesh inside.
As long as I don’t have this turtle shell, it will be easy!
She trembled her bare hands, and several silver needles rushed to the place where the scales were missing. The silver needles flashed coldly in the air, carrying her anger and determination.
