Electromagnetic Tyrant

Chapter 38 The Forest Patrol Clan

The second half of the night.

Ji Xinghuo woke up on time and glanced at the mechanical watch. He had slept for six hours.

The astral world has entered the "middle moon", which is the fifth month of the hot season, the most middle month of this season.On the 18th day of the mid-moon, starry night and dark night will be equal in length, both 12.4 hours.After that day, the starry night will be longer than the dark night, and the weather will be hotter and hotter.

Ren Mian was sitting at the door of the tent with his eyes slightly closed, as if he hadn't moved for hours.

Ji Xinghuo sat up, this small movement immediately aroused her vigilance, she opened her eyes to look over.

The two made eye contact in the darkness.

Ren Mian got up to get out of the way, and Ji Xinghuo went to take her place, sitting on the straw mat that was still warm, watching her get into the sleeping bag beside Jiangnan Caiyi, and fell asleep within half a minute.

Ji Xinghuo looked back.

He also closed his eyes slightly, but he was not sleepy and full of energy. The magnetic field induction extends outward instantly, and all movements within a range of 350 meters are mapped in the mind.

It was very quiet in the col.

The sound of insects sounded from time to time made the dark surroundings even deeper.

Occasionally, if a wild animal passes by, it will not find the tent hidden in the thorn bushes. If it accidentally approaches, it will be driven away by the smell of animal repellent grass.

Ji Xinghuo was bored, opened the interface of Vientiane Star Pupil, thought for a moment, and put all the 15 points of spiritual energy obtained today into the "rotating magnetic field".

The upgrade progress becomes 117/359.

It is still far from being upgraded to Level 2, and the strengthening effect on the body is not very obvious, but the range of magnetic field induction has expanded by nearly ten meters.

With his current position in the team, the stronger the perception, the better, and the safer everyone will be.

Ji Xinghuo calculated.

When the level one progress of the rotating magnetic field reaches full, the magnetic field induction distance should be about 500 meters.

This is a safe enough distance that even a legendary ranger would find it difficult to launch a fatal attack on a target 500 meters away.

As for the enemies above the legendary level, if you really encounter them, it doesn't make sense whether you can sense them or not.

The vigil was the hardest.

However, Ji Xinghuo has a lot of concentration and maintains a relatively high level of concentration.During these six hours, a monster had entered the range of the magnetic field induction, but he did not approach the tent, so he did not alert his teammates and let the monster leave.

At dawn, the teammates all woke up.

Jiangnan Caiyi heated up the remaining spider leg meat from last night and served it as breakfast for everyone. After adding some water, the team continued on their way.

Before leaving the camp, Ren Mian removed the plant protection outside the tent, recovered seeds and samples, and restored the place to its original state.

All the way west.

By noon, the team had advanced more than 70 kilometers.

The few battles I encountered were not too intense, and I harvested two alien species, but only one was high-quality, worth about Asian dollars.

After walking a long distance in the afternoon, Ji Xinghuo felt a little strange, he had never encountered any monsters, and even the number of wild beasts had decreased.

"Sister Ren, have we entered the territory of some powerful monster?" he asked in a low voice.

"Probably not."

Ren Mian took out a map, the drawing was very rough, but there were a few places marked with red crosses, indicating dangerous restricted areas.

"We are not in the danger zone, and the nearest one is far away." She reconfirmed after careful study, "Either it was bad luck and I didn't meet them, or there is a settlement of alien races in the star world nearby, or there is a tribe."

Ji Xinghuo asked: "Is there an alien race in the astral world to the west of Liberty City?"

"Of course there are." Chi Zhonglin laughed, "There are no alien races anywhere in the star world, there are dozens of races in Qianfengyuan Forest alone, and they are all vassals of the Heavenly Feather Royal Court in name."

Ren Mian reminded: "Most alien races can communicate, but you can't let down your guard and don't approach easily. Because the few alien races that can't communicate are sometimes more dangerous than monsters. You don't know if they are hostile. "

She listed some alien races in the astral world and described in detail the abilities and customs of these alien races.

"I remember." Ji Xinghuo nodded.

Along the way, his teammates often imparted hunting experience and astral knowledge to him.

Most of the time, it was Ren Mian who said that she had a very deep understanding of the astral world.

Chi Zhonglin and Jiangnan Caiyi have been in the Star Realm for several years, but they know that there is a world of difference compared to Ren Mian, so they often have to listen carefully.

Ji Xinghuo's memory is very good, and he basically remembered everything.

In fact, before entering the astral world, Ji Xinghuo learned a lot of knowledge about foreign races. His university major was astral language, and the three foreign languages ​​came with related courses.Language is the best window into a race or a civilization.

In this regard, his foundation is better than most people, and he can understand it with just one click.

When the starry night is approaching.

Ji Xinghuo stopped suddenly, and said in a low voice: "Someone is approaching, it's not a monster." After careful identification, he said: "Three forest patrols."

Sure enough, there are alien tribes nearby.

Ren Mian was not surprised and asked, "Can you tell which clan branch it is?"

"No." Ji Xinghuo shook his head.

Magnetic field induction has no color, and you cannot see the picture. The image in your mind is very abstract. You can only identify your identity through the shape of the magnetic field, and judge your strength through the strength of the magnetic field.

His face changed slightly, "These three rangers have spotted us and are coming towards us."

"We stay out of the way."

Ren Mian didn't want to conflict with foreigners, which might cause a lot of trouble.

"They are very fast, I'm afraid they can't be avoided." Ji Xinghuo felt that the attackers were evil, so he already held the compound bow in his hand, took out the arrow and put it on it.

There was the sound of hurried footsteps ahead, like the intensive trampling of horseshoes.

"Be prepared." Ren Mian put his hand on his belt. Chi Zhonglin put down his backpack and stood in front of the team with a gun. Jiangnan Caiyi's figure disappeared into the air.

Soon, three tall figures rushed out of the dense forest.

Their upper bodies are similar to humans, but their lower bodies are like artiodactyls, like horses and deers, with huge black hooves, extremely strong bodies wearing leather armor, protruding faces, huge nostrils, and a pair of thorns on both sides of their heads. The bifurcated black horns and round eyes reveal a primitive and ferocious gaze.

The one in the lead was obviously male, with its head more than two and a half meters above the ground, its bare chest extremely strong, its four legs as thick as a column, and it held a huge spear in its hand and carried a bundle of javelins on its back.

The two beside him have female features, their bodies are smaller and more flexible, but they are also close to two meters tall, and each holds a heavy longbow.

They all have blood red tattoos on their skin, all over their bodies.

"Forest patrol!"

Ji Xinghuo thought to himself.

The forest rangers are very common in the star realm. They are a very large race. They live in the forest and call themselves the masters of the forest.

Overall, the talents of the rangers are average among the alien races in the astral world, and their intelligence is also relatively high.

However, the Patrol Tribe is a race dominated by belief. The differences in beliefs make the good and evil tendencies of different Patrol Tribe tribes completely opposite.

Some rangers respect nature and are hospitable.

Some rangers are ferocious and violent, hostile to all outsiders who enter their territory, like uncivilized wild beasts.

Ren Mian has activated the "Thinking Necklace", and her voice rang in her head: "I have never seen this clan, try to communicate first."

"I don't know the language of the Forest Patrollers." Ji Xinghuo replied, "But maybe they can understand the language of the Celestial Clan. Let me try."

As Tianyu Royal Court is the ruler of Qianfeng Yuanlin, the language of the Celestial Clan should have weight.

"Everyone..."

As soon as Ji Xinghuo opened his mouth, the male ranger on the opposite side suddenly roared, sprinted wildly, and quickly pulled out a javelin and threw it at him.

The other two female rangers also shot arrows.

"what's the situation……"

Ji Xinghuo was at a loss, not knowing where he had offended the other party.

But his reaction was not slow at all, and the arrows on the compound bow were shot out almost simultaneously.

Green light bloomed in Ren Mian's hand, and a group of dry leaves instantly unfolded, forming a green lotus leaf about two meters in diameter, like a round shield blocking himself and Ji Xinghuo.

And Chi Zhonglin had already rushed out.

puff!

The javelin pierced the "Shield Lotus" and penetrated the lotus leaf, but was stuck on it. Two thick arrows were also blocked by lotus leaves.

At the same time, a female ranger screamed.

"what……"

A willow leaf arrow pierced her eye and pierced her head, and she fell to the ground in an instant.

The remaining female forest patrol, seeing Ji Xinghuo draw another arrow to aim at herself, panicked in her eyes, fixedly staring at Ji Xinghuo's compound bow, trying to dodge the arrow, but she didn't realize that a transparent figure had circled behind her.

Jiangnan Caiyi suddenly appeared, the samurai sword flashed past, and beheaded the unsuspecting enemy with one blow.

In one encounter, two of the rangers died.

The leading male didn't have time to rescue him, but the death of his tribe aroused his ferocity, and he slammed into the oncoming Chi Zhonglin.

"Ho!"

Chi Zhonglin's body swelled to the same height as the forest rangers, his arm muscles exploded, and he struck the opponent's spear without any pretense.

The advantages of the lava gun are immediately apparent.

The forest ranger's spear broke in response, and a searing force penetrated along his arm and into his body. He opened his mouth and spat out a large mouthful of blood.

Chi Zhonglin turned the tip of his spear, taking advantage of the enemy's inability to defend, and shot it into the heart.

The strength on the gun exploded, and the chest exploded directly.

Chi Zhonglin pulled out his spear, and the blood stained on it was burned dry in the blink of an eye. He immediately withdrew without even looking at the enemy's corpse.

"Walk."

Ren Mian did not hesitate and asked his teammates to leave immediately.

Chi Zhonglin carried his luggage with a spear and ran at the front. Ji Xinghuo and Jiangnan Caiyi followed. Ren Mian who was behind threw a black flower on the ground.

The black flower fell to the ground and took root, and the roots spread quickly, devouring all the plants it came into contact with, whether flowers, grass, shrubs, or trees. They were all eaten up and converted into nutrients, creating a liquid-like blanket.

The black creep blanket covered a hundred meters, eating the corpses of three rangers and digesting them cleanly.

In less than ten minutes, this area of ​​trees turned into a pool of black water.

A moment later, a group of forest rangers arrived here. Looking at the empty black ground, their faces were full of fear and anger, but they were also very confused.
