Chapter 917: Cannon Fodder Wild Beast and Wild Stone
Those wild beasts that rushed out of the abyss were going out to die rather than to cause trouble to the world.
Even with the absolute advantage in numbers, the wild beast tide temporarily suppressed the thousands of Taihuang Sect members at the mouth of the abyss, but the strength of Taihuang Sect was not that simple.
Once the support of Taihuang Sect arrived, the wild beast tide would still be suppressed in the end.
Knowing that it was futile, why did the source beast regularly organize the wild beasts to die?
The reason is worth pondering.
He estimated that those wild beasts were just deliberately sent out by the source beast to die.
It should be known that the vitality of wild beasts is amazing, and the reproduction speed is not low. In the wasteland, there are no natural enemies.
If there is no loss, the number of wild beasts will definitely increase uncontrollably.
But the size of the wasteland is fixed, and the wild air in it is not infinite.
If the number of wild beasts increases uncontrollably, how can the wasteland bear it?
As the master of this primitive wasteland, the source beast is absolutely clear about this.
Therefore, it is not surprising that it sends some wild beasts to die deliberately every once in a while.
This can not only consume the number of wild beasts, so that the wild beasts in the primitive wasteland can be maintained within the range that the wasteland can bear, but also deal with the Taihuang Sect.
Why not?
Of course, the wild beasts that die must be the cannon fodder with the lowest strength.
The wild beasts with wild stones growing in their bodies are the best among the wild beasts, and naturally they will not be sent to die by the source beasts.
He just dismembered tens of thousands of wild beasts, but failed to find half a piece of wild stone, which is the best proof.
Thinking of this, Duan Qing did not intend to continue dismembering the wild beasts. He directly put away the Guiyan Sword and lowered his head to think.
The current situation can be said to be not optimistic.
Although he successfully sneaked into the primitive wasteland, he did not have much time left to find wild stones.
This primitive wasteland is estimated to be protected by the Taihuang Sect's formations everywhere, and the only entrance and exit should be through the abyss.
At present, the entrance to the abyss has been breached by the wild beasts, and the people of Taihuang Sect have also been held back by the wild beasts. In addition to the time it takes to clean up the battlefield afterwards, Taihuang Sect will not seal the entrance to the abyss again in a short time.
He can be sure of this.
This is also the reason why he dared to sneak in through the abyss even though he knew that the abyss was the only exit.
But the time left for him is undoubtedly very limited.
As for how long it will take, it depends on whether the subsequent attacks of the wild beasts can keep up.
If the wild beasts can continuously transport cannon fodder to the surface, then it is not difficult to hold back Taihuang Sect and keep the entrance to the abyss open for a few days.
But if the cannon fodder of the wild beasts is weak, then it is hard to say how long this time will be.
Thinking of this, Duan Qing looked up and looked around, and found that there were still wild beasts from all directions, gathering in groups towards the abyss, and he felt a little relieved.
It seems that in the short term, there should be no need to worry about the death of the cannon fodder of the wild beasts.
However, for the sake of safety, it is better for him not to be too far away from the entrance of the abyss when he moves in the primitive wasteland, and he should always pay attention to the movements of the wild beasts, so as not to miss the opportunity and be trapped in the wasteland.
He was trapped in the Yunzhou wasteland for more than a year last time, and he still has a deep impression of it.
In the Yunzhou wasteland, with the company of Senior Sister Xue, the days are not boring.
If he is really trapped again this time, he is alone, he simply dare not think about it.
Having made up his mind, Duan Qing did not dare to delay any longer and immediately started to act.
A few miles away from the mountain of wild beast corpses, he encountered a group of wandering wild beasts, about eighty or ninety.
Having been trapped with Zhaixing in the Yunzhou wasteland for more than a year, he has heard Zhaixing talk about wild beasts.
The most obvious feature of wild beasts is that they all have eight limbs.
Although different types of wild beasts all have eight limbs, they are also divided into flying wild beasts, land-walking wild beasts, and water-walking wild beasts that can move underwater.
Among them, the flying wild beast is called the Eight-legged Dragon. It is the most common and most numerous wild beast in the wasteland, and it is also the cannon fodder wild beast that is constantly rushing out of the abyss.
It was this beast that besieged the group of True Man Qingchen in the wasteland of Xiaonanjie!
The land-walking wild beast is called the Eight-legged Pig. It is larger than the flying wild beast Eight-legged Dragon, but less in number than the Eight-legged Dragon.
The water-walking wild beast is called the Eight-legged Fish. It is the largest and the rarest among the three, and only exists in the waters of the wasteland.
Generally speaking, there are only these three types of wild beasts in the wasteland.
Of course, there are occasionally very few variants.
At the moment, the group of wandering wild beasts in front of him are like ordinary teenagers, much larger than the wild beast Eight-legged Dragon that serves as cannon fodder, and are obviously land-walking wild beasts Eight-legged Pig.
After identifying the wild beast, Duan Qing rushed into the wild beast group without saying a word, and used the Fire Separation Technique to kill them wantonly.
With his current cultivation, he would not take the herds of wild beasts seriously unless they were large-scale beasts.
Nearly a hundred eight-legged pigs had no power to resist under Duan Qing's Fire Separation Technique and fell to the ground one after another.
Only one of the slightly larger eight-legged pigs lasted a little longer, but it was not spared in the end.
In just a few breaths, nearly a hundred eight-legged pigs died under his Fire Separation Technique.
Seeing this, Duan Qing directly used the Returning Swallow Knife and began to dismember the wild beasts and search for wild stones.
When dismembering the head of the largest eight-legged pig, the Returning Swallow Knife obviously encountered resistance.
He was delighted and immediately controlled the Returning Swallow Knife to cut around the head of the eight-legged pig.
As the eight-legged pig's head was split in half, a bright yellow stone with an irregular shape, the size of a thumb, suddenly fell from the head.
Seeing the yellow stone, Duan Qing's eyes flashed with joy.
According to He Qizhu's description, the bright yellow stone is undoubtedly a barren stone!
Duan Qing stretched out his hand, took the waste stone into his hand, and observed it carefully.
The waste stone is still somewhat warm to the touch, extremely hard, and has an obvious pressing feeling. It seems to be much heavier than gold of the same size.
If you feel it carefully, you can also feel that it contains vitality.
Is this the wild stone that He Changzai dreams of?
A smile appeared on Duan Qing's lips, and he was in a good mood.
After coming to Youzhou for so many days, I finally gained something.
Next, Duan Qing dismembered all the remaining wild beasts. Although he could not find any more wild rocks, he was not depressed.
Killing less than a hundred wild beasts and being able to get a single wild stone was far beyond his expectation.
At the same time, this also proves once again that his previous conjecture about the tide of wild beasts being sent to death as cannon fodder should be correct.
Elite wild beasts with wild stones will not participate in the tide of wild beasts at all.
…
Just when Duan Qing got the first piece of wasteland, he was in a water area several miles in size somewhere in the primitive wasteland.
The originally calm water surface suddenly burst into huge waves. In the huge waves, a huge tentacle like a hill suddenly emerged from the water, pointing straight in a certain direction, motionless, as if it was sensing something.
