Above Shennongjia
"Brother Xuan, we've arrived at the location. You must come back safely! If you need any help, please contact me." Tiger said as he flew the transport plane.
"We will definitely come back. Lower the altitude and find a place with fewer trees for us to rope down. Everyone, get ready!"
The plants here were very dense. The huge tree crowns were open like umbrellas, and the branches and leaves were connected, causing the sky, which was already close to dusk, to darken almost completely.
From time to time, one or two cries of unknown animals could be heard from the depths of the forest. Some were melodious, some were loud and clear, and some were hoarse and low. All kinds of sounds were intertwined. One after another, it was like a natural symphony.
Occasionally, there would be the movement of wind and grass, and a figure would flash past. It was some small animals that hid in the cave at an extremely fast speed. The creatures in the forest hid in the dark and sized up the unfamiliar visitors vigilantly.
The nine of them advanced in a square formation. This was mainly to deal with large beasts or sudden attacks.
In the depths of this forest, Lin Xuan and the others had already spent a week. They could only find medicinal herbs during the day because many animals that were active at night had already warmed up. They would cause very dangerous consequences for the visitors who entered the courtyard.
The sky was completely dark, and the people in the tent had already fallen asleep. Lin Xuan, who was outside the tent, hugged Barrette and kept watch. The surroundings were so quiet that only insects could be heard.
Suddenly, Lin Xuan felt that at the other end of the dense forest 500 meters away from the camp, there was a group of eyes staring at the tent in the darkness. They were moving gently and advancing in an encirclement.
"There's a situation. Be alert." Lin Xuan hurriedly informed his companions.
"What is it?"
"Prepare for battle. Put on your night vision goggles and try to save bullets.”
Wolves. It was a large pack of wolves. The camp was densely packed with wolves, and one could not see the end of them at a glance.
"Light up all the fire pits. Everyone, gather together and form a circle to defend.”Lin Xuan arranged.
"Yes, sir!"
~~~~ Awooo ~~! Suddenly, a powerful wolf howl entered their ears.
"Pay attention! The wolf pack was about to attack, so the grenades were ready. Damn, there are too many." Lin Xuan quickly added.
The wolves began to attack. Gunshots and wolf howls rang out as the wolves retreated. Only then did Lin Xuan and the others heave a sigh of relief. In these three hours, the wolf group organized eight attacks, leaving behind about 500 wolf corpses.
"This is crazy. We'll run out of bullets after a few more rounds. Fortunately, they ran away. Everyone, go rest.”It was Big Bear's night watch time.
"Nonsense, so many of them have been killed. They must be afraid.”
"It's not that easy. They will come back. We're already fighting to the death. Wolves are the most vengeful.”
Li Xuan was right. In the next few days, the wolves attacked them day and night. Sometimes, there were only a few to a few hundred of them. Lin Xuan and the others killed about 1000 wolves, but the wolf pack was still not few.
"Boss, what should we do? These wolves are endless, right? How can there be so many wolves? And why did you come back after killing the wolf?"
"What's wrong with Xiaolong? Why are there more wolves coming?"
"Boss, congratulations. You've met the Wolf Emperor. If you don't kill it, it's useless. Because the Wolf Emperor subdued the alpha wolf of each wolf group, it was called the Wolf Emperor.”
When Lin Xuan told them about the Wolf Emperor, everyone fell silent and felt a little defeated. Ever since they entered this place, there was no signal on the communication equipment, and there were not many bullets left. In addition, the medicinal herbs had not been seen yet, and now they were entangled by the wolf pack, there was even less hope of finding the medicinal herbs.
"Find a place close to a water source and easy to defend. Prepare to fight! If we wait for the Wolf Emperor to come out, we won't need to find the herbs if we don't attack like this.”Lin Xuan decided on a method.
They decided to go to the low-lying areas where they could easily find water sources and cliffs. The wolf pack trailed behind them from a distance along the way, occasionally finding an opportunity to attack.
The density of the forest here was much higher than before. Because of the low-lying area, the leaves almost covered the entire sky, making it impossible for light to pass through. Waves of cold wind blew, giving people goosebumps all over their bodies. All kinds of strange cries interweaved, and even Lin Xuan could not tell what animals they were.
"How can there be none? When will this end?" The hot-tempered Little Five was a little impatient. This place was even more dangerous and he needed to be on high alert at all times.
"We've already been walking for four days. It's useless to turn back now. We can only continue moving forward. So far, we haven't encountered any injuries. We're lucky. Everyone, stay on high alert.”Lin Xuan encouraged.
"As long as we are careful, we have nine people. Nothing should be able to stop us.”Big Bear couldn't hide the anxiety on his face.
Monkey said as he walked,"That's right. With our skills, do you think we're afraid?"”The third in line, Cockroach, said,"If the guys behind dare to come up, it seems that tonight's food will be sumptuous."”
"Please, don't talk about this. I feel like vomiting at the mention of wolf meat. Aren't you tired of eating you every day?”
Everyone forced a smile as they entered the dark forest uneasily. Shen Nongjia was indeed difficult to move. After taking two steps, Lin Xuan reminded him several times,"Don't walk near the big tree. Poisonous things can jump down at any time. Don't go to the left. There might be poisonous insects or snakes in the deep bushes. If there were king cobras or cockscomb snakes, they would be in big trouble.”
"What's there to be afraid of? At most, I'll catch them and cook them into snake soup!”
Under Lin Xuan's suggestion, the group walked carefully and on tenterhooks.
Little Six finally couldn't hold it in anymore." Boss, why don't we find a hilltop and clean up the rest?”
"Shut up. Who knows how many wolves are behind us? If we can be trapped to death, what can we do without a water source at the top of the mountain?”
The others didn't make any more suggestions for the time being. However, after taking two steps, something suddenly jumped out from the green leaves. It aimed at Monkey's calf and bit down fiercely.
"What is this?" Monkey was shocked. He kicked his legs and prepared to shake off that fellow, but that fellow refused to let go. He could not shake it off even if he wanted to. Only now did he see clearly that it was a toad covered in camouflage. Lin Xuan looked at it and said,"Don't worry, it's not poisonous. It's a tree frog."
Finally, they found an ideal place. There was a pool with a thin stream of spring water flowing down from the rock wall. The pool was about ten meters in diameter, but it looked very deep. From the surface of the water, the pool was dark green. He built the camp and leaned against the rock wall to cut down some trees and vines to tie them on both sides. He made an eight-shaped wall, leaving only a two-meter-wide hole on the front. Lin Xuan tested that it was very firm.
In the tent late at night, Lin Xuan widened his eyes and did not feel sleepy at all. He felt a little uneasy as if there was danger. He did not know how to describe this intense uneasiness and tense feeling.
The chirping of insects in the surroundings became rare. Suddenly, Cockroach, who was on night duty, cried out loudly,"There's a situation. Quick, there's something in the water.”
With their weapons, Lin Xuan and the others had just run out of the camp when they heard a splash. A monster rushed out of the pool. It looked like a snake, with warts on its head and claws on its body. It was more than 70 centimeters in diameter and about 10 meters long. He stared at them and was ready to attack at any time.
"Oh my god, what kind of monster is this?"
"Snake?"
"No, it feels like the legendary flood dragon.”
Lin Xuan raised the Barrett and aimed at the monster, asking in his heart,'Little Dragon, what is this?”"This is indeed a flood dragon. The blood essence in the tumor on its head, as well as the inner core and gall bladder in its body, are all good things. But be careful. It is very strong, but its weakness is at its lower jaw and throat.”
"Bang bang ~" Lin Xuan quickly fired six shots in a row. The Barrett that could shoot a person into two only made a bullet-sized hole on the flood dragon's body. When the others saw Lin Xuan shoot, gunshots rang out.
However, the effect of hitting the flood dragon was not great. It rushed over after being attacked and quickly arrived in front of Lin Xuan and the others. It opened its stinky mouth and bit at Lin Xuan. Lin Xuan threw away the gun and quickly dodged. The big bear, which was more than 1.9 meters tall and more than 80 kilograms, was sent flying by its tail. Its back hit the rock wall before it stopped. Then, it fell to the ground and lay there motionlessly.
"Big Bear." His companions shouted. Seeing that Da Xiong did not react, everyone pulled out their daggers and surrounded the Jiao, rushing forward to stab it. After three hours, everyone was more or less injured.
"Be careful, it's very strong. There's poison in your mouth. If you bite it, you'll die." Lin Xuan shouted.
At this moment, the flood dragon bit at the monkey. Seeing that the monkey could not dodge in time, Lin Xuan bit the dagger in his mouth and jumped. He hugged the flood dragon's neck and punched its mouth to help the monkey resolve the crisis.
Lin Xuan suddenly saw a spot the size of a copper coin at the flood dragon's throat. He held the dagger in his mouth and stabbed it fiercely. The flood dragon let out a mournful cry and rolled on the ground. After Lin Xuan jumped away, he brought people and retreated, surrounding them vigilantly. After more than twenty minutes, he stopped moving. The person who was standing relaxed and collapsed on the ground. Big Bear was still courting death. Lin Xuan struggled to get up to see him, but he was powerless. His internal art automatically circulated for a long time before he got up.
Da Xiong was still alive, but he had fainted. His internal injuries were not very serious. Wolf howls could be heard from the outside, but the wolves did not come close. Perhaps they knew that the lord here was an existence they could not provoke.
"Everyone, hurry back to the barracks. After treating your injuries, have a good rest. I'll stay on guard and deal with the flood dragon's corpse. This is a treasure.”After saying that, Lin Xuan walked over and pulled out his dagger, starting to skin him.
"Boss, hurry up and extract the blood essence. I've exchanged two jade bottles for you. These are the main ingredients for prolonging life. Such a huge inner core? I'll exchange two jade boxes for you. Put them in quickly. These are good things that can increase internal energy. The flood dragon gall also needed to be placed in the jade box. It could replace a portion of the body tempering herbs. Put away your skin, bones, and tendons." The little dragon cried out in Lin Xuan's mind.
Lin Xuan only put the things in the jade bottle and jade box into the system space. He did not touch the rest after breaking them down.
"Xiaolong, do you think there are still flood dragons in this pool?”Lin Xuan asked.
"I don't think so. If there was one, it would have come out when it was killed. However, it's better to be careful.”
In the morning, after the others woke up.
"Little Seven, Little Eight, get a waterproof remote-controlled bomb.”
"Boss, what are you doing? Explode this pond?"
"Hmm, let's see if there's anything else inside. I want to go down and take a look.”
"It's too dangerous to go down.”
"It's not a big problem. I've put away the flood dragon gall and other medicinal materials. There is a flood dragon here. I think there is some treasure below that attracts it. It would be a pity not to go down.”
"Then you have to be careful." The others urged.
The bomb exploded at the bottom of the pool, but there was no movement for more than an hour. Lin Xuan jumped down. This pool was about a hundred meters deep. He took the diving equipment from the system space and put it on. At the bottom of the pitch-black pool, he slowly searched with the light of the waterproof flashlight.
