Chapter 25 The Roar and the Stranger

Kara ~

The blade cuts off the branches, and the shotgun in the other hand acts as a wooden stick to push away the debris. Lu Jing takes a step out of the bushes. In front of him is a towering forest with thick trunks, a soft muddy ground paved with fallen leaves and weeds, and behind him is Xu Zhuo holding a treasure map of living spots.

Although it was noon, the light in the forest was not as bright as imagined. Because the upper floors were affected by the dense canopy, most of the areas below the woodland were shadowed. In addition, the roots of the trees were mixed and occasionally crossed the road, and the surface was covered with large rocks of slippery moss. This invisibly increased the difficulty of moving forward and the possibility of being ambushed by beasts, making Lu Jing cheer up every step forward.

Lu Jing bent his knees and jumped up to a stone platform. He turned around and reached out to Xu Zhuo: "How many ways are we missing?"

"The location of the treasure on the map is in the middle and eastern part of the Beast Island, and it will take about an hour and a half to walk. The terrain here is really complicated. No wonder the person who buried the treasures deliberately made a living treasure map. With hand-painted alone, he would not be able to find a place after two or three years."

Taking advantage of Lu Jing's strength to climb up, Xu Zhuo looked at the footprints on the treasure map of the living spots and said with emotion.

With this treasure map of living spots, they just need to follow the footprints above and make some marks along the way, without having to specifically identify the direction.

"One and a half hours...is OK. If you have good luck, we might be able to go back to the boat for the night today."

Lu Jing looked down at the watch he bought on Huashu Island earlier. It was only one pm now. At this time, it was at least six:30 on the sea at night. So he patted the bulging backpack behind him and said.

They also prepared camping equipment, but they could sleep on the dry beds on the Xiliu. Who would like to accompany insects and beasts in this wet woodland?

"I hope so."

Xu Zhu twisted his shoulders and wiped the sweat beads from his face. Although he had started to exercise recently, it would undoubtedly take a process to restore his former state. Now his body is still weak, so it is okay to stand still and shoot. If you really have to travel a long distance, the weakness of insufficient physical strength will be inevitable.

"How about I..."

Lu Jing was about to take Xu Zhuo's backpack, but the black shadow suddenly flashed over his head made him immediately look up and alert.

I saw a big bird with unknown species suddenly flew past the tree branches and the storm caused by its vibrating wings broke down many branches and leaves.

Hurry ~

After the big bird flew past, there was another sound of birds startling in the jungle on Lu Jing's right.

"Be careful!"

After putting away the short knife for the time being, Lu Jing checked the loading status of the shotgun and said in a muffled voice.

If it were humans, it would be impossible to cause such a big disturbance.

roar!!!

As expected, I walked forward not long ago, and a muffled roar suddenly sounded in the direction of the commotion just now.

"This kind of roar cannot be made by ordinary beasts. It should be the beast on this island or the monster that has been panicking on the rare beast island recently... It is not easy to judge the specific distance from the sound alone, should you go and take a look?"

"On the route we are moving forward?"

"Not here."

"Then let's not go there, you wait here, I'll go to the tree to see the situation."

When he heard that he was not on the necessary route, Lu Jing immediately gave up the idea of ​​checking over and checking. Before getting the treasure, he did not want to cause trouble.

I looked around and found a tree with many branches. After putting down my backpack, I took three steps and jumped forward in two steps. With my own powerful strength, I climbed the branch and easily climbed to a height of seven or eight meters.

Take out a monocular lens from your waist and look in the direction where the sound just came.

The place where I saw was full of dense jungles. I swept around and there was no gain. Just as Lu Jing was planning to return, a target unexpectedly appeared in the telescope lens.

Lu Jing adjusted his posture and let the telescope keep up with the figure running in the woods. It was not the expected monster, but a man wearing a tan leather windbreaker and carrying a weapon of extremely weird style.

He moved very fast. Judging from the spiritual activities that moved between forest barriers, he knew that he was not an ordinary person. In addition, he was acting alone, and he didn't seem to have friends around him. This person undoubtedly had sufficient confidence in his own strength.

Since the two sides were already separated by a long distance, the figure of the man disappeared into the jungle in just a few seconds.

Trepidation!

"Captain! Overhead!"

Xu Zhuo's warning sounded almost at the same time as the whistle above his head.

Lu Jing's reaction speed naturally had no doubt. As soon as he noticed the danger, he kicked the tree trunk beside him and jumped to the left for a distance.

The hook claws crushed the tree branch as thick as an adult's forearm, and the sharp beak kept pecking. Lu Jing quickly drew his knife and crossed his body in front of him. He could only hear the "clang~" sound, and his body couldn't help but retreat for a distance.

Bang!

Xu Zhuo's support under the tree had already begun. When blood splashed on the monster's body, Lu Jing could see its appearance clearly.

He stared at a little surprised that the attacker in front of him was the huge monster bird that had flew past their heads before!

Xu Zhuo's shooting hit its wings obviously caused quite a lot of trouble. He was about to flap his hardship and was about to take off again. However, Lu Jing, who had already freed up his hand, hooked another branch under his left hand, turned over and stood up again, and the short knife in his hand was replaced with a shotgun that had been carrying it on his body.

Bang! Bang!

With a squirt and a second shot from Xu Zhu, the monster bird never struggled again and fell down.

A wild beast is a wild beast. Its size cannot cover its essential fragility. A bullet hitting the head is enough to kill it.

When Lu Jing landed again with some branches and leaves on his body, only a few strands of dispensable energy could be injected into the torrent card.

"Didn't this bird fly over before? How could it turn back and attack me?"

Lu Jing looked at the strange bird that was familiar on the ground and asked with a frown.

"I don't know... maybe it's because it treats you as a monkey, like this physique bird, and monkeys are also in their recipes."

Blowing away the smoke of gunpowder at the muzzle, Xu Zhuo's eyes turned around the blood hole in the middle of the bird's head, and then fell on its abdomen. He paused, bent down and pushed part of the bird's corpse up, revealing a scar on its abdomen that had not yet been scabbed and was covered in blood.

"Now I know, it was injured just now, so it was so fierce that it was very fierce. As for turning back to attack you, maybe your figure is very similar to the person who hurt it before."

"No, my hands can't cause such injuries!"
