hunt and eat

"Well, there is an abandoned cave not far away on the map, where we can rest our feet. I'm really fed up with the mosquitoes here."

After slapping to death a fist-sized mosquito that was trying to suck blood on his neck, Guta put down the map and began to walk quickly in a certain direction.

Goodness behold, he hates bugs.

Rather than sleeping here at night, he would rather run back to Dede Village all night long!

……

After that, Guta and the others successfully borrowed a chocobo at the post station.

Before the sun completely set, they managed to reach a valley marked with an abandoned cave on the map.

"This place seems to be called... Strange Rock Valley? Such a simple and rude name."

The ancient tower looked up and down at the surrounding landforms, and said suddenly.

This valley is indeed full of strange-shaped stones, and looking at their rounded surfaces, there is a high probability that they are a product of nature.

The landform of the valley here is somewhat different from the usual ones.

Half of the valley is completely open to the outside, and the terrain inside is much lower than the outside, so even if you just stand at the entrance of the valley, the ancient pagoda can see everything in the valley clearly.

Leading their respective chocobos and walking in, Guta and Miejin each started their perceptions to detect the divisions of the surrounding monsters.

They were going to stay here overnight. If there were any powerful monsters living here, they would have to fight with each other.

Among the monsters, few have a good temper, and few can tolerate you entering the territory openly, or even sleeping overnight.

"Guta, there are monsters coming."

Mie Jin tugged at the corner of Guta's clothes and reminded him in a low voice.

The moment they released their perception, the other party seemed to sense their position.

"Probably the owner here, it seems that he has a bad temper, haha~"

"Miejue, help me see the chocobo, I'll go meet for a while."

Just in case, Guta was going to test the opponent's quality alone first.

If the strength is within the controllable range, use force to "persuade" the other party, and stay for one night anyway, so as not to affect the local ecology.

If they lose, then they have nothing to say, at worst they just run away.

In perception, that existence was getting closer, but Guta didn't see any movement in sight.

It seems that the other party came down from the ground.

Putting down the backpack in a leisurely manner, and drew the Taotie Taidao from behind, Guta walked forward about ten steps, waiting for the opponent to appear.

But the strange thing is that after waiting for a long time, Guta still didn't notice the other party's appearance.

At the same time, behind Mie Jue, a monster with red and yellow hair jumped out from the ground.

The pair of extremely conspicuous huge sharp teeth, as well as the peculiar appearance between ape and baboon, directly revealed the identity of the other party.

The subspecies of the snow lion in the desert area is the sand lion called "Desert Thug".

However, the size of this sand lion is much larger than the few sand lions that Guta saw in the hunt in Dede Village before.

In addition, what makes Guta feel strange is that normally, the arms of most sand lions are much thicker than their hind limbs, but the one in front of them...

I don't know why, but its hind limbs are much stronger than its forelimbs, and even when it stands, it doesn't lie forward like ordinary sand lions, but stands almost like a human.

The moment he appeared, the sand lion did not attack immediately, but patted his butt in the direction of Mieji, and then assumed a somewhat strange twisted posture.

Similar to twisting the waist and lifting the hips, the image point is the "tele hip dance" of a certain time management master. All in all, it looks pretty cheap.

"Courtship?"

Although Mieji was a little dazed, the ancient tower in the distance had already understood the meaning of the other party in an instant, and then his face darkened visibly with the naked eye.

"Since you want to court death, then I will fulfill you."

……

Chapter 115 Two cunning sand lions, endless "kite" tactics

Theoretically speaking, a creature like a sand lion, even in estrus, would not be able to do such unimaginable things as courtship to humans or dragon people.

Guta estimated that this may be related to the extermination of the Kuanglong virus.

Extinction and her, some of the characteristics of her body may have been changed after that, so that the monsters would mistake them for other species.

Seeing that there was no response to the annihilation, and even raised the weapon vigilantly, the eyes of the sand lion, who was not a good-natured man, gradually turned cold.

With a loud roar, the sand lion slammed on the ground and rushed straight towards Mieji.

He is the strongest sand lion in this desert, and he simply cannot accept being rejected.

Since the female in front of me disagrees, then it will come and force it.

Seeing that the sand lion was about to pounce, Mie Jin slashed at the opponent's chest with a big swing of the ax blade.

bingo!

Just as Mieji was about to launch a follow-up attack, the sand lion forcibly jumped back in a posture that almost violated the rules of physics, dodging Mieji's attack by a tiny margin.

The chopping ax landed in the air and smashed heavily into the sand under his feet.

"how come?"

Extinction was somewhat incomprehensible, but something even more astonishing happened in the next second.

The sand lion, which was jumping backwards a second ago, at the moment it landed, its entire body seemed to fall on a spring board, ignoring inertia, directly changing direction, and ejected towards Mieji.

At the moment of shutting down, the ancient pagoda came from a distance, slashed a knife from the side, and smashed on the shoulder of the sand lion. With an iron mountain, it directly knocked the opponent away.

"It's alright~"

Looking at Mimi with lingering fear, Guta said out of breath.

He was running this way almost desperately just now, and he finally caught up.

It's not that he didn't know ahead of time, knowing that Miejin would be succeeded by the opponent.

It's just that anyone who sees his female companion facing this kind of vulgar monster that will estrus with humans will feel inexplicably uneasy.

"This guy is most likely the two individuals in the sand lion. His leg strength is completely different from other individuals."

Guta analyzed calmly.

He watched the whole scene just now.

Whether the opponent dodges Miejin's attack at a very close range, or instantly changes his jumping posture, and directly ejects towards Miejin, it is all achieved by relying on those extremely thick legs.

To put it simply, the jumping ability of this sand lion is not generally excellent.

Roar!

On the other end, the sand lion injured by the ancient pagoda got up from the ground in some embarrassment.

A pair of small eyeballs first glanced at the stunned ancient tower, and then at the comforting ancient tower.

Damn, do you have a spouse?

Then let's destroy it together!

Thinking of this, the sand lion directly lifted a huge boulder from the side, and threw it towards the ancient pagoda where they were.

As mentioned before, the Sand Lion is a master at using long-range attacks.

Their best weapon is stone.

And it's the kind of stone that's nearly as tall as a person!

On the other side, seeing the boulder thrown by the sand lion from afar, the ancient pagoda and Mieji rolled in two directions at the same time.

The boulder fell on the place where they were standing, and instantly scattered sand and soil.

"The arm strength is also very strong, and it can throw a stone of this size."

While getting up, Guta analyzed the opponent's body data.

It seems that if you want to kill the opponent, you have to get closer.

Frowning slightly, Guta put Taotie back into the scabbard on his back, and began to rush towards the sand lion with all his strength.

Although Miejue was a beat slower, he quickly caught up.

Noticing the actions of the two, a sly smile slowly appeared on Sand Lion's face.

The next moment, as its arm was inserted into the ground, a vortex of mud waves visible to the naked eye began to take shape under its feet.

In the blink of an eye, the sand lion completely disappeared underground.

"The style of play is insignificant enough." Seeing this scene, Guta stopped instantly, and then felt a little suffocated.

Looking at each other with Miejin, the two leaned back to each other, and began to guard their surroundings.

This guy burrowed into the ground, definitely not to escape.

"Chocobo..."

Just as Guta was about to ask if Mieji Chocobo had settled down, he noticed a violent vibration from the bottom of his feet.

"The soul is pale!"

The two rushed to the side, and almost at the same time, the figure of the sand lion holding the boulder slammed out from under their feet.

Almost, he was about to be knocked into the air by this guy with stones and people!

But the opponent's attack was obviously not over yet. Seeing that he missed a hit, the sand lion jumped to a height of seven or eight meters, and directly smashed the boulder in his hand towards the two of them.

It was too late to dodge at this time, Guta could only bite the bullet, wrapped the blade with gluttony, and hit a vertical slash with his backhand.

[Qi Smelting Soldiers·Black Blade] used hastily, in terms of strength, it can't be compared with normal ones at all, and its power is seriously insufficient.

Therefore, after slightly offsetting part of the impact force, the ancient pagoda was directly smashed out by the boulder.

"Ancient Tower!"

Seeing that Guta forcibly blocked the blow in order to protect himself, Mie Jin shouted anxiously.

"I'm fine!"

The pale ancient pagoda slowly emerged from the ground, but a collapse was visible to the naked eye at the shoulder.

His right shoulder was injured by that blow.

"Cunning beast."

Guta took a sip, and then changed the Taidao to his left hand.

Although the left hand is not his dominant hand, that's all he can do now.

Fortunately, in order to deal with this special situation, I have specially practiced the left-handed sword, so I will not lose all my combat power at this time.

"We underestimated you."

Who would have thought that they had not suffered any injuries when hunting male fire dragons, but suffered such big losses one after another at the hands of this abnormal sand lion.

Of course, this does not mean that the sand lion must be much stronger than the male fire dragon. In fact, Guta estimates that the strength of the two should be on par.

It's just that, compared to the male Charmander, which is huge but relatively inflexible, this sand lion, which is extremely fast and can use boulders as weapons, poses a threat to hunters. Much bigger.

It can only be said that all things generate and restrain each other.

"Be careful, that guy is coming again."

The reminder of extinction came from his ear, and Guta noticed that the cunning sand lion had aimed at his position at some point.

I saw it bent down, slowly picked up a few stones the size of human heads from the ground, and then made a throwing gesture of bending its arms.

There are so many fucking rocks in this damn place!

Guta didn't know how many times, he began to scold this ridiculous valley of strange rocks in his heart.

In the next second, stones like shotguns shot towards the ancient pagoda.
