Qianye took over the binoculars, and saw some huge crocodile-like creatures crawling on the two mountain walls that looked like they had been cut by a knife. They have dark scales and are several meters long. They crawl slowly on steep or even straight mountain walls, like walking on flat ground.
The scene in front of him made Qianye's heart tremble. The last time he came, the number of these beasts he saw was not so many, and most of them were lurking in dark and remote corners, and rarely crawled outside in a big way. But now there are hundreds of these crocodile-like beasts on the mountain walls on both sides, and it is unknown how many are hidden in places that cannot be seen.
"Do you know where these things come from?" Qianye asked.
"According to observations, it is likely that they crawled out of the forest in the southwest, but they do not look like the protozoa of the forest terrain. It is indeed a bit strange. Our scouts tried to approach, but the beast over there was too powerful. , and finally gave up the in-depth investigation." Zhu Wuya said.
"Oh? How strong are they?"
"The strength of most of them is directly proportional to their size. The weakest ones need level-3 fighters to deal with them, and the big ones need level-4 fighters to stop them. Look, the ones over there are extraordinarily large, probably at the leader level. Only me, Lao Duan, and a few lieutenant colonels can handle it."
Qianye nodded, and asked again: "What is the relationship between them and werewolves?"
Duan Hao replied, "It doesn't seem to matter. Some time ago, I saw a reckless werewolf guard breaking into their place, and was instantly torn to pieces."
However, even though these mountain crocodiles have nothing to do with werewolves, their current activity area happens to occupy the mountain walls on both sides of the pass, which is tantamount to adding a natural danger to the werewolves' defense.
Qianye looked at the surrounding terrain, pointed at the most densely populated area of mountain crocodiles, and said, "Try shooting a few shots at this place."
This move has the danger of angering the entire mountain crocodile group, so Duan Hao and the others have never done it. But since it was Qianye's order, it was not a problem. The messenger quickly ran to the nearby firepower point. After a while, the heavy artillery roared, and the shells continuously fell on the place where the mountain crocodiles gathered.
Several mountain crocodiles were knocked down from the mountain wall, but after they fell nearly 100 meters and hit the ground heavily, they swayed and slowly got up again. Except for a few unlucky ghosts who were directly hit by the heavy artillery, the rest of the mountain crocodiles in the shock range of the aftermath were fine.
There was a commotion among the crocodiles, and the mountain crocodiles in the area covered by heavy artillery seemed to have sensed where the attack was coming from, and turned around one after another, intending to move towards Qianye's position. As soon as they moved, like the first wave in the sea, they slowly spread out and began to affect the surrounding crocodiles.
"Cease fire!" Qianye ordered again.
The heavy artillery stopped roaring, the mountain crocodile suddenly lost its target, and the direction of movement became confused. After a while, the crocodile group slowly calmed down, and the corpses of several dead crocodiles were eaten separately.
It seems that these mountain crocodiles are not very intelligent, but they are still quite sensitive to external attacks. If they fire a few more shots, the entire crocodile group may be attracted to attack the dark fire position.
Qianye thought for a while, and said, "Standby here, keep an eye on the werewolves in the pass, and don't let them rush out no matter what."
"What about you?"
"I'm going to see that Viscount Brudo."
Since Qianye had made a decision, he didn't stay any longer. He left the locomotive in the dark fire position and entered the steep mountain forest alone.
The mountainous terrain did not pose any obstacles to Qianye, and he carried enough supplies in his Anduya space, especially various grenades. The first battle at the mine made Qianye see the enormous power of the force grenade in a single-soldier raid, so the grenade became his primary supplementary weapon.
Qianye hurried through the mountains and forests, going straight to the pass, preparing to climb to the top of the cliff on the west side, bypass the barrier blocking the pass, and directly enter the werewolf territory.
He was running, when he suddenly stopped suddenly, and from the fallen leaves in front of him, a huge and agile black shadow rushed out. It was a mountain crocodile, with its mouth wide open, and it bit down hard. However, due to Qianye's sudden stop, it was of course in vain.
Seen from a close distance, the mountain crocodile is indeed a giant, with a body length of more than five meters, and the scales on its back are as hard as rock flakes. The most dangerous thing is that such a huge body is as agile as a mountain wolf. After flying into the air, it bit a big tree behind Qianye, and immediately the bark and sawdust flew, forming a large gap as deep as the radius.
Qianye took a step sideways, turned his body half a circle, stepped on the back of the mountain crocodile, and at the same time, the crimson fangs penetrated deeply into the joint of its head and neck like lightning. This is the vital part of the mountain crocodile. Although the scales are hard, they can't stop the fifth-level crimson teeth. Qianye inserted the knife easily and pushed it until it had no handle.
In the blink of an eye, a large amount of blood essence poured out from Crimson Fang. This mountain crocodile with a combat power of level three could provide even more blood essence than a warrior of the dark race with level five. Qianye stood up from the corpse of the mountain crocodile and continued to move forward. Before walking too far, he killed another mountain crocodile that was about to ambush.
Now Qianye finally knew why the dark fire scouts didn't dare to go deep into the southwest forest. Although these mountain crocodiles were not too high in level, they possessed both strength and agility, and their lethality far surpassed that of ordinary beasts in the Eternal Night Wasteland.
In just a few hundred meters, Qianye killed more than a dozen mountain crocodiles in one go. After killing a ten-meter-long crocodile, he finally stopped moving forward, but left the range of activities of the mountain crocodile.
Qianye found a quiet place to calm down his turbulent blood. The blood essence of these ferocious beasts was several times that of dark race fighters of the same level. After killing a dozen mountain crocodiles, less than half of the blood essence was stored in his body.
However, this situation is absolutely abnormal. A small group of ferocious beasts like mountain crocodiles need a vast mountainous area as a hunting ground, otherwise their feeding needs will completely destroy the biological system in the entire area. There are so many people gathered in the area that Qianye saw now, it is definitely not formed naturally, there must be a reason behind it.
Qianye practiced Xuanpian silently, transformed part of the blood essence, and then continued to walk in the direction of the werewolf tribe.
However, he didn't go far and found that these mountain crocodiles were extremely sensitive, and they could detect the traces of people walking from a long distance. Unless Qianye expends a lot of force to stay hidden all the way, it is almost impossible to cross this mountain without disturbing them.
Qianye only thought for a moment before deciding to let go and kill him. Originally in the forest, the mountain crocodile was a hunter, but in front of Qianye, who had the pupil of true sight, the mountain crocodile, which had lost its hidden advantage, became a complete prey.
Next, Qianye killed the mountain crocodile all the way until the essence and blood in his body were about to overflow, and then found a place to concentrate on practicing Xuanpian Kung Fu, transforming the essence and blood into dark force little by little, nourishing the blood in his body. When the essence and blood were almost digested, he would go on the road again, continue hunting, and then find a place to practice when the essence and blood were overflowing.
If it goes round and round, with sufficient blood supply, the cover of the Book of Black is almost completely lit, and it won't be long before it can be opened again. And the feather on the primordial wing also condensed more than half. In addition, the three kinds of blood energy have different progress, and the dark gold blood energy is about to usher in the third evolution.
When Qianye moved forward again, he found that the group of mountain crocodiles had become much sparser, which meant that they were about to leave their control area. He climbed to the top of a cliff and looked down. This place has reached the other end of the natural passage of the pass. Behind the mountain is an undulating hill, full of lush trees, and there are even two small lakes on the mountainside, which are as clear as water. mirror.
The scenery on the distant mountain seems to be a little different. Qianye put his extraordinary vision to the farthest, and he saw clearly that it was a castle with a rough shape and a rather magnificent scale. The large gray and white wall stones were undecorated. The weathered rock face almost blends into one.
A banner with three claw marks flies from the top of the castle. This is the emblem of the werewolf Viscount Brudo, and the claw marks symbolize his understanding of the ancient tradition of werewolves, that is, speed, strength and destruction.
The foot of the rocky peak is covered with a continuous forest, extending to the distance, and then crossing a natural rift, there is another beautiful mountain, which is Qingfeng Mountain, the territory of the Fengya tribe, and also the node of the mine vein that Zhao Yuying speculated.
At this moment, Qianye is condescending and can overlook the pass. The werewolves also built a fortress here to block the end of the passage, and there were some wooden houses and tents scattered nearby. Judging from the number and scale, Brudo had deployed at least hundreds of elite werewolf fighters here. This is almost half of the Viscount's combat power.
Qianye's gaze didn't stay at the pass for long, and then fell on the castle in the distance. As long as Brudo is subdued or killed, the defense line of the Viscount Land will collapse on its own.
Most werewolf castles are built on rocky peaks, and the materials are basically large stones, which look very solid. However, werewolves respected nature, and many tribes didn't even like to use military equipment in battle. Castles rarely installed such things as force circles and city defense equipment. Therefore, compared with other races, both decoration and function were quite primitive and rough.
Raiding such a castle would no doubt be much easier, just dealing with werewolf fighters.
Qianye took out a large bag from Anduya's space and began to prepare for the battle. He put the standard saber, crimson fang, twin flowers, physical force bullets, and some gadgets for climbing or sneaking on his body, and adjusted them to the most convenient positions. Finally, he took out a bottle of potion and sprayed it all over his body.
This is specially designed to deal with werewolf's sensitive sense of smell. Werewolves will instinctively feel uncomfortable when they inhale this smell, thus ignoring other covered breaths. But this kind of discomfort is extremely slight, and it doesn't make the werewolves suspicious. The effective duration of the spray is four hours, which is enough for one raid.
Qianye checked the equipment on his whole body again, and then jumped off the cliff. Every ten meters or more, he would hang on the rocks for a while, and then descend more than ten meters. After doing this several times, he quietly fell to the ground and entered the forest, running towards the Viscount's castle in the distance.
Near the cliff, Qianye killed two more mountain crocodiles. It seems that their control area has penetrated from the two screen-like cliffs to this side.
Although the number here is insignificant in comparison, Qianye still frowned. In the process of beheading the mountain crocodile all the way, he has already discovered that the fierce beasts that should have been in the forest are almost extinct, which is definitely not a good sign. When the most primitive ecological balance in the local area is destroyed, the next thing that will be squeezed is likely to be the living space of intelligent creatures such as dark races and humans.
Qianye swung his crimson fangs and pierced the back neck of a leader-level mountain crocodile in front of him. Hot streams poured into his body continuously, but this huge monster was still struggling, and it didn't move completely until ten minutes later.
Qianye only felt that his whole body was warm, his limbs seemed to be overflowing with strength, and his heart was beating extraordinarily powerfully. The blood essence provided to him by this huge beast is equivalent to that of an ordinary baron.
This is already deep in the forest. Qianye looked back at the location of the cliff he climbed down, estimated the distance to this side, then pulled back the Crimson Fang, continued to move forward, and soon disappeared in the sparse shadows of the forest. .
A faint mist suddenly rose somewhere in the forest, and a vague figure walked out of it. Her whole body was blurred, and she couldn't see her face clearly at all. She could only tell that it was a woman from her slim and graceful figure.
She stopped beside the corpse of a mountain crocodile, slowly bent down, sniffed the wound lightly, and then covered the wound with her hands.
