Chapter 127: Raging Wildebeest Herd
Chapter 127: Raging Wildebeest Herd
After resting for another ten minutes, Yang Yu saw that everyone had recovered and immediately asked everyone to get up and continue their journey.
In half a day, Yang Yu and his team had only traveled thousands of kilometers, and they were still tens of thousands of kilometers away from leaving the grassland.
Shi Lan’s world is indeed very big.
But you can't speed up here.
Once many ferocious beasts on the grassland discover an object moving at high speed, they will rush over in groups to see the cause due to their naturally curious nature.
Watching from afar, Yang Yu discovered that these ferocious beasts with obviously excessive curiosity looked somewhat similar to the wildebeests on Earth, with huge horns on their heads that curved and pointed toward the sky.
However, the size of these wildebeests is much larger than those on Earth, and they are covered with thick scales. Each adult can grow to hundreds of meters long, with strength reaching the fifth or sixth level of the star class, and the outstanding ones can even grow to the ninth level of the star class.
The most important thing is that they all act together in the thousands or tens of thousands.
Ordinary teams of adventurers would never dare to provoke such a group of ferocious beasts.
Of course, if Yang Yu killed them without restraint, these wildebeests would not pose any threat, and he could even kill them all by himself.
However, the purpose of Yang Yu and his companions coming here was not to bully these curious wildebeests, but to complete the assessment of trainee mercenaries and see if they could find a suitable target to possess.
In this way, Yang Yu and his team maintained a low speed while being alert to various unknown dangers that might arise.
Half a day later, when Yang Yu and his team arrived at a hill, it had already become completely dark.
At this moment, the huge ball of light in the sky disappeared, and the entire Shilan world fell into darkness.
Only sporadic lights flickered in the distance.
It looked like they were some rookie adventurers who had absolutely no experience and hadn't paid much attention to gathering intelligence.
Because the world is actually more dangerous at night. There is a ferocious flying beast called the Shadow Beast that specifically comes out at night to look for food.
The weakest of these Shadow Beasts are at the ninth level of the star class, and they also move in groups. Their appearance is like bats on Earth, but these Shadow Beasts are huge, with the smallest one being hundreds of meters long, and their sharp claws can easily tear apart a second-level Force battle suit.
The huge inertia caused by a high-speed dive can directly injure or even kill a stellar-level ninth-order warrior through his alloy armor.
Moreover, they have a strong desire to attack. As soon as there is a glimmer of light, they will pounce on the prey in groups like hungry wolves that have been hungry for days and tear it into pieces.
really.
Just a moment later, Yang Yu's powerful eyesight saw a huge shadow flashing in the light in the distance, and then a few barely audible cries for help were heard, and the entire world fell into absolute darkness and silence.
However, there are always only a few adventurers who don't do any homework.
Most people who come here are still very careful.
"Master, is that a Shadow Beast?" Feng Lingyin asked, leaning against Yang Yu.
At this time, Yang Yu and his companions set up camp separately according to the teams they were divided into during the day, to prevent the time storm from sweeping everyone at once, but the distance between them was not far.
"It should be. Remember not to make too much noise at night, and don't create any light." Yang Yu said. "Although the strength of a single Annihilation Beast is not strong, any of you can easily kill it, but Annihilation Beasts are social birds, and there are at least thousands of them at a time. It is still very troublesome to get caught in one of them."
"Okay, master. Lingyin will be good." The introverted and shy Feng Lingyin said obediently.
"Hmph!" Doris, who was sitting on the other side of Yang Yu, snorted secretly. Obviously, she also felt that Feng Lingyin's acting skills were too poor, and tried to use this to attract Yang Yu's attention.
"Everyone, please stop talking. The night in Shi Lan's world lasts 30 hours. You will take turns to be on duty according to the teams you just divided into. Each team will be on duty for five hours. The order will be based on the order in which we traveled today."
Yang Yu said.
"Yes, master." The others replied in a low voice.
"Those who are not on night duty should practice meditation. The energy of the origin of the universe in Shi Lan's world is quite rich, which is very suitable for practice."
After saying this, Yang Yu closed his eyes, and separated 90% of his mind into the ocean of the origin of thunder and lightning to quietly comprehend the "slow mystery".
Except for Jarvis and another guard who were on duty in the first wave, the rest of the people closed their eyes and rested to adjust their state.
After a whole day's journey, especially having to be alert to the dangers that might appear around them at any time, not only was their original strength and mental power greatly consumed, but their mental state was also greatly consumed.
This is a good opportunity to recover.
On the vast and wide flower language plain.
Yang Yu's team was inconspicuous among them.
In the vast ocean of laws.
At this moment, Yang Yu is analyzing and comprehending the obscure and profound mystery of slowness.
In Shi Lan's world, Yang Yu discovered that the fluctuations of the laws were more obvious than those in the outside world, and his efficiency in comprehending the mysteries was very high.
Even the fluctuations of the origin of time under the ocean of thunder and lightning laws became clearer, as if Yang Yu could understand it as long as he devoted his mind to exploring this fluctuation.
But Yang Yu knew it was just an illusion.
Having a clear feeling is one thing, but being able to truly cross the threshold of the Law of Time is another. If it were so easy to get started, there wouldn't be so few people practicing the Law of Time.
Moreover, Yang Yu did not want to be distracted now. He just wanted to comprehend the mystery of slowness as quickly as possible, and then comprehend the entire essence of "fast", and then study the introductory law of time.
Taking it step by step may seem slow at first, but if you extend the time scale long enough.
This way of taking things slow and down to earth is actually the fastest way to go and will also allow you to go the furthest.
If you try to do more quickly at the beginning, you will easily fall into the embarrassing situation of not making any progress later, and it will be too late to turn back by then.
The night passed quickly.
Fortunately, Yang Yu and his team did not encounter any unexpected situations throughout the night, but from time to time, a few human cries were heard from afar.
It must be that some unlucky team of examiners encountered an attack by ferocious beasts.
When the huge ball of light appeared again in the sky, Yang Yu and his team set off again, heading towards the dark forest tens of thousands of kilometers away.
Judging from the detailed map given by Babata, the nearest route that Yang Yu and his team are taking is more than 30,000 kilometers away from the Dark Forest.
At yesterday's speed, it will take another four or five days to arrive.
Once you reach the Mirkwood, you still need to cross the entire forest, then cross the Sunset Mountains, cross the Pale Highlands, and finally walk through the Shilan Plains before you can reach the central core area of the Shilan world.
Each section of the journey is tens of thousands to millions of kilometers long, and it takes more than half a year just to get there.
This is the case if everything goes smoothly. If there are any unexpected events, it is common to be delayed for a few more months.
Moreover, even if Yang Yu and his team arrived at the core area and found enough Shilan crystals, they would still need to leave the core area again and go to the edge area of the Shilan world to hunt down the storm beasts and take out the crystal cores in their bodies to complete the task.
It can also be seen from this that it takes a lot of time to complete this task.
Unless Yang Yu is willing to take out the spaceship in the space ring in a high-profile manner and fly all the way over.
But doing so would defeat the purpose of the adventure.
Yang Yu naturally wouldn't do that.
At least at this stage, I am not planning to do so until I achieve the purpose of taking this assessment.
After a night of rest, Yang Yu found that everyone was in good condition, so he sped up the journey a lot, keeping it at a level that would not attract the attention of the wildebeests on the grassland.
However, the reality went against their wishes. Although Yang Yu and his companions were careful enough, they still attracted the curiosity of a baby wildebeest when they passed by a small lake. This baby wildebeest was only tens of meters long and had a strength of planetary level six. When it accidentally saw Yang Yu and his companions on their way, its eyes suddenly lit up.
It neighed and immediately started running towards Yang Yu and the others with its hooves. It didn't matter that this young wildebeest came running, but as soon as it moved, other young wildebeests followed, and then other adult wildebeests followed.
This immediately exposed Yang Yu and his group completely to the sight of the wildebeest herd.
Suddenly, tens of thousands of wildebeests rushed towards Yang Yu and his group.
"run!"
Yang Yu shouted angrily, and then led everyone to fly at high speed towards the dark forest.
It is not difficult to kill these wildebeests, but there are too many wildebeests on the Flower Language Grassland, and this is just an inconspicuous branch of the population.
If we fight with them, it will attract endless streams of wildebeests or other ferocious beasts, and then very few people will be able to escape.
After all, although Jarvis and Lingyue are among the strongest in the ninth-level star class, and their realm and equipment are good, they are still in great danger facing the overwhelming group of ferocious beasts, and the probability of them being surrounded and killed is more than 90%.
Only Yang Yu is confident enough to break through.
"Shh!"
Upon hearing Yang Yu's order, Jarvis, Lingyue, Doris and other psychics instantly burst into action at extremely high speeds. At the same time, elite warriors such as Lingyin also unleashed all their forces.
In an instant, the speed soared several times, and the distance from the wildebeest herd behind was widened in an instant.
"Ang~"
Wildebeests have a strong sense of territory, and now seeing Yang Yu and his group flying so fast, their territorial sense was immediately aroused. The strongest wildebeests in the group immediately accelerated and chased after Yang Yu and his group.
The speed is even faster than that of a very fast spiritual master like Feng Lingyue.
Seeing this, Yang Yu's mind moved, and he slowed down slightly and fell to the back of the team.
"You guys keep running, I'll cover you!"
Afterwards, Yang Yu retreated at high speed while controlling the "knife pattern" formed by the Thunder Knife to kill the three tall wildebeests that were chasing the fastest.
It is the first level of the second form of the Thunder Sword: the Thunder Sword Diagram!
The minimum usage requirement is that the telekinetic amplitude reaches 48!
"laugh!"
"laugh!"
"laugh!"
Three consecutive lightning bolts flashed across the sky, and the three giant wildebeests, each more than 600 meters long and over 100 meters high, were cut in half from head to tail by the Thunder Knife.
Daotu continued to attack the other ten or so powerful wildebeests chasing from behind with his remaining momentum.
With the flash of lightning, the core fighters of this group of small wildebeests were all killed by Yang Yu in a few seconds.
But after killing these wildebeests, the remaining wildebeests were aroused to their most primitive ferocity.
"Excited!"
Thousands of wildebeests screamed wildly together, and the silent Flower Language Grassland suddenly became lively.
Other wildebeest herds not far away heard the noise and immediately came to support.
"Yang Yu, the large detector shows that there are more than 30,000 wildebeests coming towards you within a thousand kilometers." Babata's voice rang out.
"Plan the best retreat route immediately." While killing the wildebeest chasing from behind, Yang Yu communicated with Babata in his consciousness.
"There is Cuiling Lake in the southeast, where there are no surrounding wildebeests." Babata instantly calculated the best escape route.
"Lingyue, Jarvis, head to Cuiling Lake in the southeast immediately!" Yang Yu ordered.
"Yes, master!" Knowing Yang Yu's strength, they did not hesitate, but changed direction and rushed over quickly.
Yang Yu followed behind them all the time and killed the wildebeests that came to support them.
For a while.
The entire Flower Language Plain is bustling with activity.
On a high mountain in the distance.
"The quality of the adventurers who came to take the test this time is quite good. They were able to kill so many adult wildebeests so easily. And they seemed to be using the legendary third-level 'junk' telekinetic weapon Thunder Blade. Quite interesting."
A woman dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a graceful and noble temperament and a cold face said.
"They are indeed quite powerful. It looks like these wildebeests cannot pose any threat to them. But Your Highness, we'd better wait until these angry wildebeests calm down before we continue our journey." said the female warrior who looked like a guard.
"I know, it's a good opportunity to watch the show here." Vera, the third-ranked princess of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, said with a smile. "Naya, you don't have to worry. At this time, the Mist World is the most dangerous world for the world master assessment. I know this."
Afterwards, the Third Princess Vera and her dozen or so guards quietly watched Yang Yu and his companions as they fled and killed the wildebeests.
"Master, there are more and more wildebeests surrounding us!" Lingyue shouted not far ahead.
"Then let's start killing!" Yang Yu's eyes turned cold.
"Yes, Master!"
As time passed, although Yang Yu and his team had shaken off the wildebeest herd that pursued them at the beginning, the wildebeests that came to support them from other places surrounded them.
The number far exceeded the previous small herd of wildebeest.
Following Yang Yu's order, Feng Lingyue and others began to use their weapons to kill the surging wildebeests.
As for Yang Yu, he used his speed advantage to swim around the crowd and killed all the wildebeests that posed a greater threat, and left the remaining wildebeests to them to deal with.
This can also be considered a test and tempering for Feng Lingyue and the others.
On the flower language plain.
The wildebeest herd, which had become completely frenzied, began to attack Yang Yu and others crazily.
At this time, Yang Yu's body was covered with a blood-red battle suit formed by the Moyun vine, and underneath it was a third-level force battle suit.
He held a thundering sword in his hand, and a thundering sword image was floating around him.
Use telekinetic weapons to kill enemies while using your warrior strength to fight them.
If any wildebeest dares to attack Yang Yu, it will be greeted with a lightning-fast attack.
But there were too many wildebeests besieging them. Although Yang Yu could deal with them easily, Feng Lingyue and the others gradually began to feel overwhelmed. They had no choice but to move closer together and support each other.
Just when they were about to give up, Yang Yu's mind moved, and a large area covering 500 meters around suddenly emerged, wrapping Feng Lingyue and others.
"The ninth level of the Thunder Realm!"
Once the Nine-fold Thunder Field, which was completely and mysteriously integrated with "speed", appeared, the speed of the wildebeest trapped in it dropped sharply to less than one percent of its full speed!
And also suffered indiscriminate lightning attacks.
