From the wasteland comics to the real world

Chapter 6 The Firescale Thorn III

The sun is sinking, and the twilight is gradually covering.After running at high speed for a long time, Li Yue came to a sparse forest.

The dry and hot environment severely restricts the growth of plants. The sparse forest in front of us is not only sparse and low, but also dry and yellow.

Most of the trees are as dry as if they have been dead for a long time, but they don't look green at all.

This is a desert forest, known locally as "Whistle Forest", also known as "Devil Forest". There are many strange-shaped rock pillars standing in the forest, and the trees that have dried after death.

It caused the woods to make strange noises in the wind, sometimes like devil's whispers, sometimes like sharp whistles.

Hence the name.

There used to be a small human gathering place in Whistle Forest, but it was merged into Sand Iron Castle more than ten years ago, so it was abandoned.

The so-called people retreat from the forest and enter. After people leave, there will be more monsters. Although the Whistle Forest is not as lush as the oasis where Sand Iron Fort is located, at least it has more food than the desert.

Over time, this area has become a fixed hunting spot for Sand Iron Castle, and the buildings left over from the gathering place have also become places for the hunting team to rest and replenish.

When Li Yue arrived at Whistle Forest, the setting sun had completely sunk into the horizon.

Twilight encloses, only a little ray of sunshine remains in the western sky.The evening wind blew by, carrying the smoky air, making the whistler Lin Zheng whisper like a devil.

In front of the forest, Li Yue stopped. After running at such a high speed for a long time, he felt as if there was a burning flame in his chest, his lungs were about to explode, and every breath seemed to be breathing fire.

He gasped heavily.

Even if he was extremely anxious, he had to stop and adjust his state, otherwise let alone fighting, he would not be able to do it even if he was lurking, and he would be spotted by the enemy if he got closer.

After making some adjustments, Li Yue continued to adjust his breathing while walking through the forest.

The twilight provided him with good cover, and it wasn't long before he heard the sounds of fighting.

This made him instantly alert, and approached the direction of the sound like a ghost.

On the clearing in the forest, six behemoths formed a circle and were running back and forth, hunting.

Those are six huge lizards, all in grayish brown, with a body length of more than two meters, with bright purple-green poisonous spines on their tails. Their bodies are heavy, but their running speed is not slow. They run around in circles in the open space, raising a Dust.

This is the venomous sand lizard, a second-level extraordinary monster with a huge body, which can easily carry one or even two adult males, and has amazing endurance and good speed.

The poisonous sand lizard has a fierce temperament and strong aggressiveness. The bright poisonous spines on its tail are highly poisonous, and it can spit out poisonous smoke and poisonous arrows from its mouth to attack the enemy. It is an excellent low-level mount in the desert.

However, venomous sand lizards are relatively rare near Sand Iron Castle, and Sand Iron Castle has not mastered the training methods for domesticating venomous sand lizards, so Sand Iron Castle does not have such mounts.

A man with a fierce expression was riding on the poisonous spine sand lizard.

This is a bandit!

Li Yue's heart trembled.

The bandits are one of the deadliest existences on the wasteland. This group of people are predatory and inhumane.

One of the reasons why people struggling to survive in the wilderness live so hard, precarious, and as humble as ants is because of the robbers.

Warcraft, natural disasters and wild robbers, these are the three deadly threats faced by the people of the wasteland.

The desolate thieves let out excited strange screams while riding the venomous sand lizard, aimed their guns at the center, and kept shooting.In the center, seven or eight young women were besieged in the middle, and the situation was not good.

Each of the women is riding a mount that looks like a mouse. These monsters that look like mice are small in size, but their speed is not slow, and their running speed is much faster than that of the poisonous sand lizard.

This is a blue-cheeked shrew. Although it looks like a mouse, it has nothing to do with a mouse.

The blue-cheeked shrew is also a second-level monster, with a body length of about 1.5 meters, much shorter than the venomous sand lizard, and much lighter in weight than the venomous spiny sand lizard.

The fur of the blue-cheeked shrew is gray-black, and there is a blue fur on each cheek, which shows its ability to control wind.The blue-cheeked shrew has a timid temperament and rarely actively attacks humans, and its strength is not as good as that of the thorny sand lizard.

Although both are level II monsters, in fact, the blue-cheeked shrew can only be reduced to the food of the venomous sand lizard in the wild, and the combat effectiveness of the two is not at the same level at all.

Coupled with the constraints of the size and endurance of the blue-cheeked shrew, it is not a good choice of mount. Under normal circumstances, no one would choose to domesticate the blue-cheeked shrew as a mount.

But the members of Li Mei's hunting team are quite special. They are all women, and their weight is much lighter than that of adult men.

Although with the size of a blue-cheeked shrew, even a female pack is still a bit funny and ridiculous visually.

But in fact, the weight of the blue-cheeked shrew is almost exactly the weight of an adult female. Even if it is slightly inferior, it can be shared by controlling the wind and airflow.

Therefore, after figuring out how to domesticate the blue-cheeked shrew, this small and docile monster became the exclusive mount of Li Mei's hunting team.

The hunting team even sold the blue-cheeked shrews to nearby gathering places, opening up a lot of business opportunities.

This is what he said.

Encountered by the siege of natural enemies, the blue-cheeked shrews screamed nervously, and the members of the hunting team all looked solemn and nervous, and a few younger members even couldn't hide their fear.

The blue-cheeked shrew's short-term burst speed is much faster than that of the poisonous sand lizard, so when the two sides first encountered each other, the hunting team was not surrounded.

But the poisonous sand lizard's stamina was much stronger than that of the blue-cheeked shrew, and this group of desolate bandits had rich experience in killing, so they were still caught up after throwing off a certain distance.

"Rush out!" The leading woman made up her mind and shouted.

The woman was in her early twenties, with long hair and a ponytail. She looked very beautiful, holding a rifle, and carrying two slender long swords behind her back.

Although she has a beautiful appearance, at this moment, the woman is as heroic as a knight.

Not only that, she was riding a blue-cheeked shrew, which was much larger than other blue-cheeked shrews, and her strength clearly exceeded the limit of ordinary blue-cheeked shrews.

After yelling, the woman took the lead and rushed towards the wild robber. The blue-cheeked shrew almost turned into an afterimage, and the rest of the hunting team immediately followed.

The gunfire suddenly became more intensive, and the bullets hit the ground, tree trunks, and grass, causing waves of dust to rise.From time to time someone was shot, but no one was killed for the time being.

Although the people present were all superhumans with amazing agility, it was impossible to completely dodge bullets at such a short distance.

However, firearms are not as lethal to extraordinary people as they are to ordinary people. There must still be a threat, but it is basically difficult to kill them with one shot.

Even if he is shot, the injury will be maintained to a certain extent - the spiritual energy in the transcendent's body will greatly weaken the lethality of the bullet.

Therefore, unless it hits a vital point, such as the eye, even if it hits the heart, it is not necessarily fatal.

Of course, this is when the enemy's ability is not a gun-type ability, and the level of the gun is not high.

If the enemy has a gun-type ability, it is still very threatening.And if the level of the firearm is high enough, it is also extremely threatening, and a headshot is no problem.
