C29 Black snake
Kui
More accurately speaking, it's called the 'Kui Cow', also known as the 'Lightning Beast'.
Wang Shuo was stunned. He had read some random books before, and the origin of the Kui Cow was the Great Wasteland Eastern Scripture of the Mountain and Sea Scripture. In the past, he had only read the books leisurely. Not only him, but many of his friends were also curious about these beasts. However, those descriptions were all bizarre explanations, and no one believed that such a creature existed for a long time.
According to the records of the Great Wastelands' Eastern Scripture, the Kui was like a cow, with one foot, with no horn on its head, and an azure color.
Wang Shuo recalled everything he knew. This Kui was also known as the Fierce Beast, but there were also rumors that it was a Divine Beast. This kind of person was only a figment of his imagination. However, looking at it now, since there was a record of his existence, it meant that it was possible for him to exist.
In that world, there was a dragon that he had never seen before, but in this world, it was possible for it to exist.
Wang Shuo regained his senses, looked at Niu Bai and asked solemnly, "What is the strength of this Kui?"
Niu Bai shook his head, "I'm not sure about the specifics, but just based on the current situation, there's no way we can withstand it. In addition, demonic beasts were divided into young, adult, and so on. Logically speaking, the Kui should not be here. This kind of fierce beast should be located deep within the Ancient Desolate Forest and even the Desolate Land. "
"Wilderness?"
Wang Shuo didn't understand. To him, these words were just too unfamiliar.
"It's said that it's the core area of the Monstrous Beast."
Niu Bai's expression was solemn, "There is absolutely no human being there. There were only extremely powerful Demonic Beasts, Vicious Beasts. They were extremely powerful, and were engaged in a wild battle every day. Today you are king, tomorrow you will be nothing but a pile of bones. "
"That is the cruelest world!"
Fierce beasts were generally stronger than demon beasts. Most importantly, they were more bloodthirsty. Most of the time, they didn't kill for the sake of being hungry, they just wanted to kill. As for demon beasts, they shared a common trait with wild beasts. If they ate and drank to their heart's content, they would choose to rest instead of continuing to search for prey.
Fierce beasts were different. Killing seemed to be what they wanted.
Wang Shuo said in a low voice, "If it really is the Kui beast, then the things here now make sense."
With it around, it was likely that many of the demonic beasts in the vicinity either fled, hid, or were under the control of the Kui family.
"If that's the case …"
Wang Shuo changed the topic of his words and said worriedly: "Duanmu Rongxue, Mo Yuanyuan and the others might be in trouble?"
"Let's not talk about them, even we have to suffer."
Niu Bai scoffed, compared to those people, he cared more about his own life, and did not know anyone else in the first place.
Wang Shuo leaned against a tree, deep in thought. This was the first time he had seen any trace of Kui. But they did not hear any sound, as if even Li Batian did not know of its existence.
"Not only is the Kui family powerful, it's also very smart."
Wang Shuo said softly, "The footprints appeared out of thin air, and then disappeared without a trace?"
With that said, Niu Bai and Wang Shuo looked at each other in shock. The two of them quickly raised their heads, and in the place where their eyes landed, there was indeed a twisted and broken tree branch, and there were even some regions where the leaves were clearly missing.
Kui, hidden in the treetops, moving above.
Niu Bai leaned over, his legs trembling, as he said in a low voice, "I … I'm a bit pissed."
Flying isn't an easy task. Only Grandmasters are able to fly through the air with difficulty. Because when he was a Grandmaster, his Dao Qi had already completely transformed into Dao Yuan.
From the fact that the Kui Centipede was able to move about stealthily, it could be seen that it was quite powerful!
Wang Shuo also felt his scalp tingle. Usually, when walking in this forest area, only paying attention to his feet would make the surrounding shrubs feel very tired. If he were to keep checking the situation above, how could he continue walking? It was hard to move an inch.
Who knows, in the next instant, Kui Kui might descend from the skies and trample them to death.
"Why don't we …"
Wang Shuo's heart trembled, "We'd better think of a way to leave."
He also had the intention to retreat. If he met Duanmu Rongxue and the others on the way, he could just tell them about it. As for the other matters, he truly felt powerless in his heart.
Hearing that, Niu Bai nodded his head with all his might, "Alright, alright, I will listen to you, let's leave quickly."
Wang Shuo stamped his feet hard, feeling better. If not, his legs would have gone soft, and he would not have known how to leave. Just as he took a step forward, he was stopped by Niu Bai.
Wang Shuo was startled. This time, his body was totally stiff, not even daring to look back.
"Give me a hand, my legs are in pain."
Niu Bai's pancake face was twisted, the hand holding Wang Shuo was trembling uncontrollably.
No one was willing to meet a fierce beast at this level. This was no longer cowardice, but human nature.
Wang Shuo completely comprehended Niu Bai's thoughts, and did not attack him, as he extended out his hand to pull Niu Bai out. With Niu Bai's departure and three trembles, Wang Shuo finally became even more afraid.
After walking for a few miles, the two of them began to sweat profusely. With this mentality, it was truly tiring.
Wang Shuo clenched his teeth. He had already thought things through, and now he didn't care about anything else. He would leave the Ancient Wasteland Forest before nightfall.
Wang Shuo said: "Niu Bai, after dark, it will still affect our eyesight greatly. If we want to survive, we have to leave quickly. Judging from our position, we should be at most twenty kilometers away from the edge of the mountain. "
Niu Bai shuddered, he stood straight and nodded his head: "Yes, you are right, let's leave quickly."
Wang Shuo patted Niu Bai's shoulder, "When you get close to the outside, you must be careful."
Niu Bai understood Wang Shuo's deduction, one of which was that it was not easy to leave from the outside.
It was very quiet around them, only the rustling of the leaves in the wind could be heard.
Wang Shuo's nose twitched, and a faint stench of blood permeated the air. His years of experience in the jungle had caused Wang Shuo to subconsciously stop in his tracks, and he began to examine the surrounding grass and roots.
Niu Bai also realized that the situation was not good. He focused on Wang Shuo and felt that the current Wang Shuo was just like an experienced hunter.
Wang Shuo's right hand paused for a moment before he stood up. He said in a deep voice, "There are demon beasts."
Niu Bai immediately asked: "What do you mean?"
Wang Shuo raised his hand. On his hand was some transparent mucus, as well as a scale the size of a thumb.
"Snake scale?"
Niu Bai was shocked, "Snake scales are usually very small, and looking at its appearance, its size is definitely not small."
Wang Shuo nodded his head, and used his hand to rub Niu Bai's body. Niu Bai was still in a state of shock, but he did not feel that there was anything wrong with his actions. However, he said, "It's huge in size, but it doesn't leave much of a mark. It's hard to say how strong he is. "
Wang Shuo nodded his head and once again walked forward.
The stench of blood in the air became denser. There was no air flow in the forest, so it was difficult to disperse in a short period of time. It was as if the entire place had frozen in place.
Wang Shuo halted his steps once more and looked down at a patch of grass. There were bloodstains on the grass.
Niu Bai quickly walked over, at the same time, he used his copper hammer to dig at the grass, there was a pile of clothes that had been corroded to an unrecognizable state.
Wang Shuo held his gun and looked at Niu Bai.
The forest ahead was dense, and the distance was just a sense of distance.
The two of them kept watch and helped each other, checking each other's back.
Wang Shuo's eyes flickered, and he thought to himself, "Based on the current situation, Kui should not be in this area, but rather the other demon beasts." This kind of method is simply like hunting in a circle. "
Who is the hunter?
The cultivators thought that hunting demon beasts at the edge would increase their strength and earn money. However, they never would have thought that the opposite party could also use them to train their strength.
Two hours later, Wang Shuo stopped.
"It's hard to walk in the forest, but two hours is two hours. It's at least a dozen miles away."
Wang Shuo calculated the distance between them, and at the same time, gestured for Niu Bai to stop.
Niu Bai carefully moved closer and asked softly: "What's wrong?"
"Ask for directions."
Wang Shuo whispered. He knelt down and probed the ground for a while, before finally finding a rock in the grass.
"Throw out with all your might."
Wang Shuo handed the stone over to Niu Bai, his right hand holding the gun once again, he stared straight ahead.
Niu Bai placed the copper hammer on the ground. The Dao Qi moved and entwined the stone heavily.
"Whoosh!"
Niu Bai turned around and fiercely threw the stone away. The stone passed through the gaps of the trees and landed more than a hundred meters away.
"Bam!"
The rock hit a tree and made a muffled sound.
With the sudden change in events, a black shadow jumped out and swallowed the stone. His body flew forward another ten meters before stopping around a tree. He raised his head and looked around.
Wang Shuo's body went limp, almost falling to the ground.
He swore that he had never seen such a large snake in his life!
The snake's eyes were a dark green, and its head was in a triangular shape. Its entire body was a dark green color, and its body was twice as thick as his thigh. It was even nearly ten meters long!
The huge snake opened its mouth and a stone fell from it. The stone emitted a sizzling sound and was actually being corroded.
In a split-second, Wang Shuo completely understood.
The strength of this giant serpent might not be as strong as an earth-type beast, but its speed was definitely faster than an earth-type beast. When he turned his head again, Niu Bai's face was as white as paper, and his teeth were chattering loudly. Noticing Wang Shuo's gaze, he said in a trembling voice, "It's a black venomous snake. Even if you take a bite out of it, you will still die."
What he was even more afraid of was that Wang Shuo's previous speculation had come true.
This was a siege, and everyone in the Ancient Wasteland Forest was still fighting each other. They had no idea that they had already become food for the demonic beasts.
Wang Shuo bit the tip of his tongue to sober himself up, saying in a low voice, "Weakness."
"Weakness."
Niu Bai said as his eyes glazed over, "I don't know either, I have never fought against such a powerful demon beast before. Normally, it was just some small stuff. This kind of poisonous substance could only rely on the Dao Qi to protect itself from being exposed by the poisonous liquid. Right, all snakes have a seven-inch weakness. However, its size is so huge that it needs to be calculated. "
To strike a snake seven inches means to strike the heart of a snake.
Three inches of snake bone was the most vulnerable part of a snake's spine.
Wang Shuo understood this logic.
