Chapter 109 The road ahead is full of difficulties

Fortunately, the current environment is a gravel road.

If it is a loess road, Shen Bei really dare not take Niu Ben to hurry after the rain stops.

That will leave a series of footprints, which is very troublesome.

Although there is no pursuer behind.

But Shen Bei, who is almost suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder, does not allow himself to leave any flaws.

After walking for three hours without any incident.

The two left the Gobi area.

There are shadowy peaks in front.

Shen Bei looked around. The mountains in this area rose from the woods and grasslands, and most of them were active volcanoes, like chimneys piercing into the sky, and like the nostrils of the fire unicorn when it is sleeping, emitting billowing hot dust and drilling into the magma-colored fire clouds.

The sky is about to get dark.

Niu Ben asked tentatively: "Do we still have to travel in the dark?"

Shen Bei nodded firmly: "When others are resting, every extra step we take is a little safer."

Niu Ben looked back at the way he came, very puzzled: "It seems that no one is chasing us, there is no need to be so anxious?"

"You said it seems, what do you think?"

Shen Bei looked directly into Niu Ben's eyes.

In Shen Bei's opinion, the way back would definitely not be smooth.

The calmer the early stage, the more scared Shen Bei felt.

Shen Bei wished someone would jump up and keep his fighting state until he caught up with Titan.

There is motivation only when there is pressure.

The process from relaxation to tension is not something that can be improved by shouting.

"But...it's going to be dark soon, and I can't see the road clearly. What's more, there must be ferocious beasts in this patch of grass and trees."

Niu Ben seemed to resist.

Vision is not a big problem for Shen Bei.

His armor has infrared and thermal imaging systems, so there is no need to worry.

The only difficulty now is to find the road.

When the two of them travel to this area, they may see a road that has been buried by sand.

At this time, it is completely impossible to see where the road turns.

Having a road is much better than cutting branches in the mountains and crossing mountains and ridges.

But the light is too dim at this moment, and you can't see the density of the forest or the extension of the road.

"Day and night are the same to me."

Shen Bei looked around and chose a direction: "We search for traces of the road along the periphery of the forest. Don't get close to the dense forest before finding the road."

Regardless of whether Niu Ben agrees or not, he has no right to choose, let alone the right to suggest.

Wherever Shen Bei goes, he can only follow.

If he is allowed to walk through the wilderness alone, he may die in the wilderness before two days.

The two ran about five kilometers along the periphery of the forest.

At this time, the wind pouring into the dense forest from the wilderness increased a lot, as if the claws of the real sea were beating out, pushing the two into the deep dense forest.

After running for another three kilometers, a tree unique to the wilderness appeared in front of him.

Steel-bone tree.

Its trunk is iron-gray, and the crown is not lush, but it is extremely tough, with leaves hardened like steel and sharp edges.

Passing this strange group of trees.

Shen Bei finally saw a small broken belt at the edge of the steel-bone forest, about 25 meters wide, extending more than 2,000 meters into the forest.

The broken belt is covered with thick grass, which is very lush. Once an adult falls in it, no matter how tall the standing person is, he can't see it.

Shen Bei can't see the color of these long grasses, he can only imagine that they are either yellow or green.

"The road has been found!"

Shen Bei was a little excited. As long as he walked along the old road, he believed that it would not take too much time to pass through this mountainous area.

At this time, Niu Ben looked at the broken road that continued to extend into the night.

He shook himself.

No one can guarantee that there will be several beasts lying in wait for night hunting in the middle of this narrow strip of land. If you are lucky, you may not catch any, but if you are unlucky, you may encounter a group of them.

This made Niu Ben somewhat horrified and angry, so he turned his head and looked at Shen Bei, whose facial features could not be seen, and said, "You Wuchang's arrangement and command are really terrible. Did I run so far just to feed the beasts?"

Shen Bei naturally heard that Niu Ben was pointing at him.

Sure enough, Niu Ben said the next sentence, "Traveling through this kind of terrain without even a pistol is like being a naked lamb."

Shen Bei had three guns on him.

A Barrett sniper rifle.

A revolver.

And a shotgun.

For people in this world, operating a gun is the most basic operation.

Almost everyone has received shooting training, and they know how to open the safety when they pick up a gun, and how to shoot when they set it up.

Although some people use random shooting, and some use outline shooting...

In general, they are not unfamiliar with guns.

Obviously, Niu Ben wanted to ask for a gun.

But Shen Bei pretended not to understand, looking at the emotional and wise Niu Ben.

Shen Bei pretended to be very angry and said: "Yes, I will kick You Wuchang's ass!"

Niu Ben stared in the dark with his eyes wide open, his eyeballs shining. He felt that Shen Bei clearly understood what he meant, but was just pretending to be confused.

And Shen Bei naturally couldn't give him a gun.

He couldn't turn his back to a mission target.

It can even be said that Shen Bei didn't trust anyone behind him.

However, Shen Bei didn't do anything extreme, and threw him a dagger: "Enough for you."

Niu Ben clenched the dagger, and only a long and helpless sigh came from the darkness.

Shen Bei turned around and looked at the road left over from the old times. The wind here made the grass and trees rustle, giving people a feeling of danger.

Shen Bei immediately walked along the road.

Niu Ben, who was following behind, seemed unwilling to give up and said, "I say, can we discuss it? You have three guns on you, and it is impossible to shoot at the same time. Give me one, and I can still help."

"Okay, Niu Liu, if you keep chattering, the beast will really jump out and bite your ass."

After Shen Bei's reminder.

Niu Ben almost exploded on the spot.

Niu Liu?

Good guy!

What kind of nickname is this!

So angry!

"Niu Liu, I feel there are many small beasts in this grass."

Shen Bei taught him temporarily: "If they attack from the front, you should wrap your throat with your left arm and stab the beast's belly with your right dagger."

"Try not to get hurt, otherwise your bloody smell will attract the attention of many beasts."

"Once something unexpected happens, you should not hide in front of me, or on my left or right sides, but stand back to back with me."

Niu Ben hummed and nodded behind. ,

About ten minutes later.

Shen Bei suddenly stopped, half-crouched, and pressed Niu Ben down.

At this moment, a "Woo-hoo, woo-hoo" sound came from the air.

Niu Ben was frightened and quickly stood back to back with Shen Bei, raised the sharp dagger to make a defensive posture, and said tremblingly: "Did you hear it? There is a beast ahead."

He lowered his voice and reminded cautiously.

"It's not a big problem. It should be the sound of a beast hunting and biting its prey."

In Shen Bei's field of vision, with the help of infrared and thermal imaging.

You can see the constant shaking in the grass in the distance.

After a large area of ​​grass was crushed.

You can see four molten soul hunting beasts tearing the meat of a dead unknown beast.

Their hair presents a unique mottled color mixed with rusty copper and dark red of lava, like metal debris burned by a fierce fire.

The eyes are like hot flames in a lava lake, emitting a breathtaking red light.

At this time, their three lips are covered with sticky blood plasma, and they stick out their tongues from time to time, licking the meat scraps on their beards leisurely.

And on the periphery are seven or eight bone gravel predators with striking spots, spinning around with their tails between their legs as if they were in a hurry to urinate, surrounding them and not daring to approach.

The bone gravel predators are slender and flexible, and their bodies are covered with a hard shell that seems to be condensed from weathered bones and gravel.

The head is narrow and flat, and the eyes flash cold blue light like phosphorescent fire.

There are rows of extremely hard and intricate teeth in the mouth.

Facing four strong molten soul hunting beasts, this group of bone gravel predators can only wait for the leftovers.

If only one molten soul hunting beast is chewing the fat meat, it is estimated that this group of bone gravel predators will go up and rob it wantonly.

It seems that when the four molten soul hunting beasts are full, the unknown beast will be left with only a skeleton at most.

Seven or eight bone gravel predators, whose size does not seem to be much smaller than the molten soul hunting beasts, if they really work together, the four molten soul hunting beasts may not be able to resist.

But even in the world of escape from famine, there are mutual restraints and mutual growth between species, and there is naturally a constant to balance all beasts.

At this moment.

The four molten soul hunting beasts chewing fresh meat discovered the appearance of Shen Bei and Niu Ben.

But they did not care and continued to chew their meat.

But the five bone gravel predators were so hungry that they were spinning around.

Baring their teeth, they turned their heads and looked at Shen Bei, drooling wildly.

Obviously, these bone gravel predators knew that it was useless to wait for the Blazing Soul Hunter Beast to eat them.

When they found the appearance of Shen Bei and Niu Ben, their eyes suddenly lit up and they growled at each other.

Shen Bei could sense that they were colluding to encircle and kill.

Facing the sudden murderous bone gravel predators.

Niu Ben looked panicked, mumbling: "What should I do, what should I do, they are targeting us!"

Shen Bei set up a sniper rifle on the spot, his face was normal: "It's time to test your speed, run towards the hillside, jump and run, like hurdles, otherwise you can't speed up, and the bone gravel predator will bite your tendons."

"What about you?" Niu Ben still had the leisure to care about something he shouldn't care about.

"Of course, clear the road."

Niu Ben's eyes exploded after hearing Shen Bei's words.

But at this time, he couldn't think too much.

The bone gravel predator was already howling and rushing.

He took a step forward and fled along the hillside. His running posture and stubborn feeling were like a fat old lady in the countryside who was just learning ballet.

Although his face could not be seen, it was conceivable that the whites of his eyes would be so frightened.

At this time,

these bone gravel predators that found a new target, driven by hunger, attacked Shen Bei head-on.

But Shen Bei stood still.

The sniper rifle sprayed flames.

Bullets pierced through the darkness and flew out!
