Douluo blood duke

Chapter 3 Blood Leeches

In the Star Dou Forest, next to a small pool, the sun was at the highest point of the day at this time, and the unusually hot sunlight shone unobstructed on Zhang Heng's slightly pale young face.

Zhang Heng wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked Mia who was looking around.

"Sister Mia, we have been watching here for more than half an hour, why don't we do anything?"

Mia glanced back at him, and said softly: "Master, that kind of spirit beast is very uncommon, and I don't know what it looks like, so we must not act rashly until we are sure enough. I observed it just now. In this swamp, I found that the water level there is relatively shallow, let's go there and set up traps."

"trap?"

Zhang Heng was a little confused and asked, "How to set up a trap."

Mia smiled, and mentioned the dead black dog she hadn't let go and said: "Master, that kind of soul beast sucks blood, which means it likes blood. We just need to cut the flesh of this corpse and let the blood attract it. , otherwise such a large swamp, let alone you and I are not good at fighting with hands, even if we are good at it, the water is so muddy, most of the places are covered with mud or other dangers, we must not enter the water as a last resort."

"oh oh."

Zhang Heng nodded his head knowingly, and followed Mia to the place where the water level was relatively shallow that she pointed out earlier.

When they arrived at the place, the two of them did not enter the water. Mia cut a few cuts on the black dog's body, and after the dark red blood left the wound, she threw it into the water, and then took Zhang Heng into the water. Among a tall tree, after standing firmly on the trunk, she let go of the arm protecting Zhang Heng, narrowed her eyes slightly, and at some point a wooden javelin appeared in her hand, looking vigilantly at the hole in the water. Among them, the corpse of the soul beast whose blood has been scattered.

Zhang Heng grabbed the thick tree trunk next to him, blood was surging all over his body. Driven by his soul power, his face became pale, his ears became sharper, and the nails on his fingers became three to four centimeters longer, and he showed a heart-pounding feeling. Cold black, two pairs of sharp fangs protruded from his upper jaw, and a crimson light flashed from his eye sockets.

Two people, one big and one small, lay motionless on the tree, looking at the water pool vigilantly.

But after 10 minutes, there was still no movement at the pool. Zhang Heng was a little irritable. After awakening his martial soul, he didn't like sunlight very much and hated the hot environment. The sound entered his extremely sensitive ears.

For a moment, his eyes drifted to the place where the sound came from.

It was located directly north of the black dog's corpse in the water, about 30 meters away, because the water quality was turbid, and even the sound was extremely weak, so it was impossible to detect what was under the water, but Zhang Heng Unaffected by the muddy water, he opened and closed his mouth, and an ultrasonic wave was emitted from his mouth, and then returned to his ear after touching the thing.

Zhang Heng closed his eyes to feel the information brought back by the ultrasound.

It was a giant crocodile with a body length of nearly eight meters. Its back was covered with short and thick spikes. Its tail was extremely long, accounting for almost half of its body length. There was a spherical object growing at the very end of the tail.

Zhang Heng whispered the information he obtained from his investigation to Mia beside him.

Mia frowned slightly, and a cold light flashed in her charming eyes. After listening to Zhang Heng's narration, she thought for a moment, then shook her head and said softly: "That's a hammer-tailed crocodile, a very common power-type soul beast. It’s not what we’re looking for, but we can’t let it eat our bait, I just don’t know how old it is, eight meters, young master, can you detect how long the thorns on its back are.”

Zhang Heng sent out the ultrasound again, and after a few seconds, he said slowly: "The longest thorn on that crocodile's body is located [-] to [-] centimeters behind the neck, there are dozens of them, and the shortest is [-] centimeters. Near the tail, the average thorn is about three to four centimeters long."

"Eight meters, seven centimeters, it seems that it is a soul beast that has just entered the 800-year life span, which is a bit tricky."

Mia bit her cherry red lips, her face darkened.

"What's wrong."

Zhang Heng asked puzzledly, and then heard Mia answer: "Master, if it is less than 500 years old, I can kill it in an instant with this mark, and it won't cause much trouble, but its age is 800 years old." In [-], if we do something, it will inevitably cause huge fluctuations, and it is very likely that the target hidden in the dark will be scared away, so I am hesitating whether to do it. If we don't do it, I'm afraid we have to leave first , and then find a new bait, that would waste a lot of time."

"Ah, that's it, it's okay, Miss Mia, we're not in a hurry, we"

Zhang Heng understood the true meaning of prudence very early on, so he planned to persuade Mia to give up attacking. After all, Mia is also capable of being a soul king. If she stays in this Star Dou Forest for a few more nights, the danger is not too great. When he wanted to continue speaking, a belated sound wave entered his mind.

"Sister Mia, wait, there is a black shadow under the body of that crocodile."

"Moreover, it seems that the black shadow is manipulating the crocodile to approach the corpse. No, it's not just that, the crocodile seems to be a corpse."

"Corpse?"

Mia was slightly taken aback, and at this moment, she also heard the sound of water splashing. In the shallow water under the tree they were in, the light water waves slowly spread to both sides, and a black shadow gradually spread in the turbid water. becomes clear.

"Sister Mia, hurry up, I have a hunch that the thing under the crocodile body is what we are looking for."

"If possible, it's best to nail it together with the black shadow under the body."

Zhang Heng said anxiously in a low voice.

And Mia didn't know if she heard his voice, her bright eyes didn't move for a moment, just staring at the black shadow on the water surface that was gradually approaching the bloody corpse.

Time seemed to slow down at this moment. Zhang Heng inserted his sharp claws directly into the tree trunk next to him, his face flushed slightly because he held his breath, and he also stared at the lake, watching the black shadow emerge and magnify .

And just when it was about to emerge from the water, Zhang Heng caught a flash of yellow light from the corner of his eyes, and then heard a sound of piercing through the air. Half a second later, he saw a javelin that left an afterimage in the air go straight into it. In the water, the black shadow that was about to probe underwater was stabbed back.

Immediately afterwards, a low growl came from his ear, and when he looked again, Mia had turned into an afterimage and jumped down from the tree more than ten meters above the ground and plunged into the pool.

Zhang Heng's expression froze. He had just said not to go into the water easily. He hurriedly climbed down from the tree with both hands and feet. As soon as he turned around, he saw Mia, who was soaked all over, carrying an eight-meter-long crocodile from the pool. The body walked to the shore.

Seeing Zhang Heng coming down from the tree, Mia smiled slightly and was about to speak, but Zhang Heng's exclamation came from beside her ear.

"Sister Mia, be careful behind you!"

"Behind?"

Mia froze for a moment, turned her head to look behind, and saw a ball in the shape of a blood-red drop shot out of the crocodile's body. She had no time to dodge, and was hit directly in the chest.

Zhang Heng stepped forward in panic, supported Mia, who was clutching her chest and gasping for breath, her face was blue and purple, and hurriedly asked: "Sister Mia, you?"

Mia supported the ground with one hand, and a smile appeared on her face.

"Master, I... I'm fine, the attack is now in my body, it seems to be converting my blood into soul power, sucking it into the blood drop, I have suppressed it with soul power to slow down its transformation speed , but I can't move now."

"Sister Mia, don't worry, you will be fine."

Zhang Heng shook Mia's hand firmly, and walked to the crocodile's body under her gentle gaze.

Looking at the huge motionless corpse under his feet, Zhang Heng panted heavily, kicked it over, turned it over, and looked at its abdomen.

However, to his surprise, in the information sent back by the ultrasonic wave, the black figure lying under the body of the crocodile disappeared. Zhang Heng looked at the empty white abdomen in a daze, not knowing what to do for a while.

Zhang Heng fumbled anxiously on the white abdomen, but found nothing. An inexplicable panic gradually occupied his mind, and big drops of sweat oozed from his forehead.

"No, how could it not be, it should be here, how could it not be."

"Can't give up, sister Mia, can't give up, where are you, wait for this."

At this time, Zhang Heng did not give up because of the panic in his mind. He has been vigilant all the year round, and it is easy to fall into panic, but this also allowed him to develop a special ability. Calm, contradictory to say, but that's how he is.

And the extreme calm brought about by the extreme panic at this moment allowed him to find the point of light.

His eyes were now focused on a hole the size of a baby's fist in the crocodile's jaw, through which he could even see the ground.

"Did it hide in the body of the dead crocodile?"

A weird idea emerged from Zhang Heng's mind, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was possible.

He let go of the arm holding his head, and gradually stood up, with a sneer on his face full of panic, and after looking back at Mia who was watching him, he focused his eyes on the crocodile corpse again On, sneered.

"If you think that hiding in a crocodile will be fine, then you take it for granted."

While speaking, waves of ultrasonic waves came out of his mouth. Generally speaking, his current strength is still very weak, and for the time being, he can only roughly process the information sent by the ultrasonic waves, that is, he can only observe the appearance, but not the inner appearance. , if he didn't use a spirit bone.

The soul power surged in Zhang Heng's body, and it was concentrated on his head in an instant. With the consumption of soul power, a beautiful blue-purple butterfly tattoo appeared between his eyebrows.

At this time, in Zhang Heng's eyes, the painting style of the world changed suddenly. Inanimate objects, such as sand, stones, land, water, and air, were all blue, while living objects, such as trees, flowers, plants, birds and animals, were all purple in his eyes. .

Zhang Heng looked at the corpse of the crocodile, with a stern smile on his lips, murderous aura condensed on him, he couldn't forgive the guy who hurt the people around him, this was his biggest adversity.

A gloomy black light flashed, and Zhang Heng's sharp blade-like claws pierced into the abdomen of the crocodile. With a twist of his fingers, he tore off the soft and slippery thing in his hand, together with the tough flesh of the crocodile's abdomen, and threw it on the ground. on the ground.

And Mia, who was sitting on the ground, could only now see clearly the appearance of the creature that attacked her.

A mass of dark brown, about one meter fully stretched, without facial features, flat and long, smooth in appearance, covered with a layer of disgusting mucous membrane.

Mia thought about it, the name that the teacher gave it when he introduced it seemed to be called.

Leech.
