Volume 2 That World Chapter 76: Shadow in the Forest
Another giant beast.
Qi Ji saw the front paws of this bear-like monster and reacted immediately.
This should be the "green bear beast" that Bai Tianhe and Shangquan teamed up to hunt. At that time, the two men's clothes were full of holes. If it weren't for the elder fortune teller Yuan Weizong, the two men would probably be in big trouble.
The next second, the Blue Bear Beast and the Great Thief Dragon collided violently, making a heart-wrenching muffled sound.
Then the two giant beasts started fighting with roars.
Pounce, bite, slap, and roll.
The wounds were hideous and blood was splattered everywhere.
The thrilling primitive fight attracted Qi Ji's attention and made his blood boil.
The explosive battle lasted for several minutes. In the end, the Blue Bear Beast that suddenly attacked was no match for the Great Thief Dragon in size, and fled in a panic with wounds all over its body.
There were also several hideous bleeding wounds on the body of the Great Thief Dragon, but it was the winner after all. After roaring triumphantly a few times, it lowered its head and began to devour the dead herbivorous dragon.
Qi Ji looked at the herbivorous dragon being eaten, recalled the taste of the barbecue, and couldn't help licking his lips.
"Let's cooperate!" he suddenly said to Nie Ming who was about to leave.
Nie Ming's eyes trembled slightly, and he looked at Qi Ji in surprise: "You want to challenge it? This is an extraordinary creature."
"First level, it's just a stronger beast at best, and it's also been injured so much, if we don't go now, how long will it take to catch the next prey?" Qi Ji chuckled, "I'm hungry, I don't want to wait any longer."
After saying that, he jumped lightly from the branch. The height of ten meters seemed to be nothing to be afraid of for him.
Landing lightly on the ground, Qi Ji came to the tree trunk and picked up his beast-slaying sword.
At this moment, several teammates under the tree were staring at the field intently, especially Bai Tianhe and Shangquan Yiren. They had faced the Blue Bear Beast personally and knew how powerful this ferocious beast was. Now they saw a new giant beast that could actually beat the Blue Bear Beast and make it flee, and they couldn't help but feel frightened.
It was Su Jingqiu who heard the sound, turned around, and just in time saw Qi Ji holding the Beast-Slaying Sword.
She immediately noticed Qi Ji's thoughts, her beautiful eyes showed a hint of surprise, and she lowered her voice and asked, "Are you sure you want to go?"
Bai Tianhe and Shangquan Yiren immediately turned around and looked at Qi Ji who was holding his weapon, looking a little confused.
Qi Ji raised his eyebrows and said to the three people, "I'll go meet him, you guys follow me later."
Then he would rush out of the woods.
Sudden.
Buzz!
An extremely terrifying instinctive warning exploded in my mind!
Qi Ji immediately stopped, hid behind a tree and looked into the field.
The next second, a huge black shadow jumped out from the forest on the other side at an extremely fast speed and pounced on the side of the big thief dragon in just a moment.
Bang!
The black shadow raised its forelimbs high as it pounced, and then swung them downwards at high speed the moment it landed.
Then, a cold light flashed, and the big thief dragon that was lowering its head to eat the herbivorous dragon was shocked, and its head was cut off by the black shadow!
The black shadow stopped, stretched out its head and bit the headless body of the big thief dragon, then dragged it back into the dense forest and left the water source.
At this time, Qi Ji finally saw the shape of the black shadow clearly!
It was a twenty-meter-long terrifying beast that looked like a combination of a bat and a black panther. Its body was covered with black hair, and its belly had dense black scales. Its head was similar to that of a cat, its forelimbs were covered with black carapaces, and its claws were like sharp blades.
Just now, this terrifying beast used the blade-like structure of its forelimbs to kill the giant thief dragon with one blow!
"Yes, Xunlong!" Su Jingqiu's voice beside him trembled slightly, full of fear.
Qi Ji couldn't help but tremble. It turned out that the black giant beast just now was the third-level monster wandering in the forest that Yu Chengen mentioned.
It’s not clear whether their luck is good or bad. They encountered one of the “ultimate bosses” not long after entering the forest!
Fortunately, the beast's target was the gigantic giant thief dragon. If its target was Qi Ji and the others, everyone present would have died unless the fortune teller hiding in the dark could rescue them!
Qi Ji looked up at Nie Ming who was still on the tree. As expected, the other party's face was ashen at this moment, with an expression of relief .
Then he reacted suddenly and rushed quickly towards the center of the water source.
Most of the herbivorous dragon's body is still lying there.
The velociraptor had just finished its hunt, and the huge amount of meat from the Megathryx should be enough for it to have a full meal.
If the habits of these ferocious beasts are similar to those of real wild animals, then they should not hunt again in the short term.
Qi Ji drew out his single-edged sword and started cutting. Soon he cut off a relatively large piece of meat from the body of the herbivorous dragon.
Behind them, Su Jingqiu and Nie Ming's groups had also reacted. They all came over and began to take meat from the herbivorous dragon without saying a word. After a short while, they had prepared enough food.
After all, you only need to stay for one day. After one day, you will either fail and quit, or you will reach the top of Wanren Peak to fight for the king's flag. You don't need to worry too much about food.
Everyone's expression was very solemn.
The Swift Dragon that suddenly appeared just now shocked everyone present with its terrifying strength.
They just want to leave here as soon as possible.
A few minutes later, Qi Ji walked up to Nie Ming, pointed in a direction, and then quickly whispered, "We've got it done here. Now I'm going to head in that direction and take a slightly roundabout way to Wanren Peak. What about you?"
Nie Ming had basically finished packing up. He thought about it and understood what Qi Ji meant, so he nodded and said, "Then I'll go this way. It's a little different from your direction. We'll each rely on our luck."
That's right, the two teams reached a brief consensus and went in separate directions.
In this way, even if the velociraptor wants to come back and chase them, it can ensure that only one of the two parties will be chased.
That's what we call luck.
…
That night.
After being frightened by the Swift Dragon in the afternoon, Qi Ji and his companions hurried on their journey.
After running all the way, they had passed nearly two-thirds of the forest before it got dark.
"Do you think that Swift Dragon will chase us again?" asked Shangquan Yiren with a pale face.
Now Qi Ji and a few others were sitting under a giant tree. In front of them was a fire that had been finally started by sparks struck by the tip of a knife and igniting sawdust.
After rushing on the road, except for Qi Ji, the other three looked weak.
After all, the forest was nearly fifty kilometers deep. They had been traveling for nearly eight hours since they set out at twelve o'clock. Even though several of them had reached an excellent level of physical fitness among ordinary people, they were still exhausted and almost collapsed.
Qi Ji swallowed the roasted herbivorous dragon meat, looked up and saw the three people's weak faces, sighed and said: "No matter whether the swift dragon will chase you or not, after eating, you must rest immediately, I will keep watch."
"You are the main force in tomorrow's flag-grabbing battle, and you also need to rest." Su Jingqiu raised his head and said seriously.
Qi Ji smiled and said, "I didn't say I won't rest. How about this, I'll be on guard in the first half of the night, and I'll wake you up when it's almost time, okay?"
Bai Tianhe and Shangquan Yiren next to them looked at each other and lowered their heads.
They also wanted to join the vigil and contribute their efforts.
However, both of them were very self-aware. After a whole day of traveling, they were not as physically fit as Qi Ji and Su Jingqiu. If they forced themselves to stay up all night, they would not only be distracted and fall asleep, but would also most likely affect the next day's itinerary. It would be better for them to seize the opportunity to rest and not become a burden.
Thus, the time allocation for the night watch was determined.
Several people ate the meat of the herbivorous dragon, and then shared the clear water that was contained in large leaves.
After a brief chat, they fell into a deep sleep one by one.
Qi Ji sat silently in front of the fire, occasionally throwing the collected firewood into the fire to maintain basic lighting.
In the silent forest, listen carefully to the sounds around you.
He didn't know if it was because he was too stimulated by the swift dragon during the day, but he always felt that when he left the range of the firelight, in the depths of the dark forest, there seemed to be an unknown and terrifying creature observing him.
Could it be that Swift Dragon?
Will it be like the cats on Earth, which enjoy playing with their prey even after they have eaten and drunk enough?
Perhaps it had been secretly observing them, and then seized the moment when they were about to leave the forest and were most relaxed, and suddenly attacked and killed them in one fell swoop.
I don't know if the fourth-level fortune-teller Wuchuan is restraining his aura and staying beside them to protect them...
Qi Ji's thoughts became more and more scattered, and then he forced them back.
He didn't dare to practice the meditation technique of the Yangmai Method, because Qi Ji knew that as soon as he meditated, he would fall asleep and then directly enter the Tower of Transcendence.
What's the point of talking about night watch then?
So I could only rely on my willpower to get through the first half of the night.
Then Su Jingqiu woke up and took over the night watch without any explanation.
It turned out that she had given herself a strong hint before falling asleep - she had to wake up after a certain time of sleep.
In fact, many ordinary people can also have this ability, not to mention the strong ones who have cultivated their mind and body to the state of harmony and resonance. For them, the simple technique of giving themselves hints is easy to use.
Qi Ji was no longer shy. He leaned back against the giant tree and silently began to practice the meditation technique of nourishing the meridians.
The next moment he fell asleep.
…

This time, Qi Ji chose the world view of the ninja named "Wolf" whom he had just killed.
[Current Transcendence 355, Spirituality 100/100]
The next moment, he appeared in a vast reed field.
This time, standing opposite him was a black-haired man with a naked upper body, strange tattoos on his body, and a large bow on his back.
The man had a disheveled look and a resolute expression, and in his hand he held an extra-long sword with a lotus blade.
When he saw Qi Ji, he was slightly surprised and asked in Sakura language: "Who are you? Where is the wolf?"
