Start a mysterious island

"Click."

Cao Yi looked at Lin Li and his group walking away, jumped down from the tree, and happened to step on a dry branch.

"Woo..."

At this moment, a low roar sounded from the grass not far away.

Immediately afterwards, a vigorous figure rushed out of the grass.

"court death."

Cao Yi reacted very quickly. He dodged sideways, raised his foot and struck a blow at the creature that attacked him.

"boom."

"Ouch."

The kicked creature hit the ground heavily, screaming in agony.

"A little jackal dares to attack me. He is really asking for his own death." Cao Yi looked at the seriously injured jackal and said disdainfully.

Then he took out a rough-made scarecrow from his pocket and threw it towards the jackal who slowly got up from the ground.

"Ugh...?"

The jackal, whose internal organs were ruptured, was bleeding from its mouth and nose. It got up from the ground and saw Cao Yi throwing out a crudely made scarecrow, with confusion in its eyes.

But it now knows that Cao Yi is not easy to mess with, and plans to run away quickly.

However, as soon as he took out his right foot, the crudely made scarecrow that flew toward it quickly grew in size and pounced on him accurately.

"Ouch."

The scarecrow turned into the size of an adult and tightly wrapped its hands around the seriously injured jackal's neck. It was extremely powerful and completely suppressed the target.

In a burst of desperate wails, the seriously injured jackal began to roll his eyes.

Seconds later, it took its last breath.

"This is the price for attacking me."

Cao Yi sneered, and then he waved to the crudely made scarecrow.

Wait until it comes back to you and immediately return it to its original size.

Cao Yi put the scarecrow back into his pocket, and then quickly chased in the direction where Lin Li and his group left.

"call……"

The breeze blew, and the surrounding flowers, plants and trees were gently swayed by the sudden wind.

Lin Li and his party originally felt very hot, but now the wind has started to blow, bringing a bit of coolness, which has reduced the heat on their bodies.

Chen Jiaquan, who was leading the way for the team, acted very cautiously. He noticed something was wrong just now, and until now, he has not let down his guard.

"Brother." Chen Jiaxiang ran over from not far away.

"Did you find something?" Chen Jiaquan asked with a serious look.

"I just looked ahead on the hillside and found a small river half a kilometer away." Chen Jiaxiang said.

"Xiaohe?" When the other exotic beast hunters heard this information from Chen Jiaxiang, they all expressed doubts.

"That's wrong! I remember that there is no river in this area. Am I remembering it wrong?"

"You remember correctly, I just looked at the map, and there is indeed no river in this area."

"That's weird."

"Could it be because of the typhoon that hit us some time ago? A lot of rainwater flowed here, thus creating this small river."

Everyone was talking about it, and Chen Jiaquan took out a paper map from his pocket.

After checking the map and confirming it, he frowned and said.

"There was really no small river in this area before, but now it suddenly appears. No matter what the reason is, we must be more careful next."

Chen Jiaxiang said nonchalantly, "It's just a small river. There shouldn't be any danger. I'll go investigate near the small river later."

Compared with the tension of other exotic beast hunters, Lin Li was now very relaxed.

"Crack..." Lin Li, who was feeling bored, held a bag of potato chips in his hand and ate them leisurely, making a crisp sound.

Wu Kui, who was not far away, turned to look at Lin Li and found that he was eating potato chips. He said with some confusion.

"You actually have potato chips in your backpack."

Hearing this, Lin Li explained casually, "I bought this in the supermarket."

"Huh?" Wu Kui became even more confused after hearing this.

He tried hard to recall Lin Li's appearance when he first appeared. In his memory, Lin Li's hands were empty and he didn't bring anything. What was going on with this bag of potato chips that suddenly appeared?

“We have been walking for a long time since we set off, and everyone must be a little tired.

Next, we continued walking for a while and rested until we reached the small river in front of us. "Chen Jiaquan said to everyone.

Then, the stopped team started off again. Because they all wanted to rest somewhere, the speed of each person's feet increased unconsciously.

The surroundings were still quiet, with no roars of animals or chirping of birds.

Since dangerous situations never happened, everyone's tense nerves relaxed a little.

Chen Jiaxiang broke away from the team and arrived near the river to investigate.

The small river winding from a distance has no end, and the clear water sparkles in the sunlight.

Both sides of the river are covered with lush aquatic plants. Some fish hide in the aquatic plants. Occasionally, a few fish swim out of the aquatic plants and then swim upstream.

"This creek is so mediocre that it's really a waste of time to worry about it."

Chen Jiaxiang inspected a small circle around the river and found nothing unusual.

He muttered a few words, then raised his right arm and waved to his teammates in the distance.

"No danger is found here, everyone come here quickly..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Jiaquan, who was walking in front of everyone, changed his face and shouted anxiously to Chen Jiaxiang.

"Watch your back."

"Eh?" Chen Jiaxiang, who had a relaxed smile on his face, was stunned. When he turned around and looked, the relaxed smile on his face disappeared in an instant and turned into a look of fear.

Many giant toads, less than two meters tall, appeared in the calm river, and each one exuded a vicious aura.

Just when Chen Jiaxiang turned around, the dark eyes of these giant toads glowed with light golden light, and psychic energy fluctuations began to appear on their bodies.

"It's a strange beast at the beginning of the second stage!"

"Everyone, please don't get into trouble."

"You two protect the prospectors, the others follow me..."

The experienced Chen Jiaquan remained calm in the face of danger. He ordered Lin Li and Wu Kui to stay to protect the prospectors, and then led other teammates to rescue Chen Jiaxiang, who was besieged by alien beasts.

"So many strange beasts."

"Will I account for it here?"

The two prospectors looked at a large group of strange beasts appearing in the distance with horrified expressions.

Wu Kui heard this and comforted the two prospectors.

"You don't have to worry. Although there are many strange beasts, we can easily deal with them with our strength."

"Tons, tons, tons..."

The sound of drinking water rang in my ears.

After Wu Kui calmed down the frightened prospector, he turned to look at Lin Li who was drinking water.

Seeing that he still looked calm and calm, he said with a steady expression.

"I advise you to drink less water. If you finish drinking the water early, I will not give it to you. You will have to find water by yourself."

Lin Li stopped drinking water and said calmly, "Don't worry, I won't borrow water from you."

"Hmph." Wu Kui thought Lin Li was a shameless person who used connections to get through the back door. Seeing that he had such a arrogant attitude, he became even more disgusted.

"Roar……"

"kill……"

The roar of beasts in the distance was deafening, and the killing sounds of the exotic beast hunters who went to rescue Chen Jiaxiang were loud, and the two sides soon became involved in a battle.

As Wu Kui said, although the number of this group of alien beasts is large, the overall combat power of the alien beast hunters is not weak at all, and they will not feel great pressure to deal with this group of alien beasts.

The battle lasted for four or five minutes. The giant toad beast that chased to the shore was suppressed and began to gradually retreat into the river.

When the two prospectors saw that the exotic beast hunters had the upper hand, the frightened look on their faces immediately disappeared and they said very happily.

"The alien beasts were driven back."

"Very good."

Wu Kui on the side said proudly, "What I said is right! These strange beasts are nothing to be afraid of."

As soon as he finished speaking, he found that Lin Li was turning his head and looking at the grass beside him, so he asked with some doubts.

"What are you looking at?"

Lin Li raised his hand, pointed to a patch of grass not far away, and said calmly, "There is a strange beast hiding in that patch of grass."

"How is it possible? I just used my mental perception to explore the lush grass and found no strange beast..."

“Uh, shit, there’s a strange beast in the grass!!!”

As Wu Kui spoke, he used his mental perception to once again explore the location pointed by Lin Li, but he was shocked.

"ah?"

The smiling prospectors looked confused, their expressions quickly turning to horror.

A strange beast exuding mid-level second-stage spiritual energy fluctuations came out of the grass and looked at Lin Li and the others teasingly.

"Damn it, it turned out to be the colorful leopard beast in the middle of the second stage." The moment Wu Kui saw the beast appear, his expression became extremely solemn, and a lot of sweat oozed from his right hand holding the weapon.

The colorful leopard beast is extremely fast. With Wu Kui's strength at the beginning of the second stage, he will be defeated by the beast within a few moves. No wonder he is so nervous at this time.

"Help, help!"

"Captain Chen, there are strange beasts here."

The two prospectors turned pale with fright when they saw the colorful leopard beast.

Then they quickly called for help from Chen Jiaquan, who was fighting a fierce battle with a giant toad beast in the distance.

"Damn it." Chen Jiaquan fought with the leader of the giant toad beast, and it was hard to tell the winner for a while. When he heard the prospector's cry, he couldn't get away and go to the rescue.

Others are in a similar situation. The only solution at the moment is to hope that Lin Li and Wu Kui can delay for some time and wait for the giant toad beast to be completely defeated before returning to help.

"Roar……"

The colorful leopard beast looked away from Wu Kui and looked at Lin Li, who looked calm.

It was very puzzled as to why this human being had no fear at all.

"It's quite loud!" Lin Li raised his hand and dug his ears with his little finger.

Wu Kui took a step forward at this time, stood in front of Lin Li, and ordered with a solemn expression.

"I'll hold it back, and you quickly take the prospector to Chen Jiaquan's side."

Lin Li looked at Wu Kui in surprise. He didn't expect that this guy who hated him very much would step forward in this critical moment.

"Roar……"

The colorful leopard beast stepped forward, and Wu Kui rushed over.

"Go quickly."

When Wu Kui saw the alien beast attacking, he roared at Lin Li and then took the initiative to meet it.

Due to the huge gap in strength between the two sides, Wu Kui did not dare to hold back at all, and unleashed all his combat power in an instant.

The weapon infused with spiritual energy bloomed with spiritual light and slashed towards the strange beast that was pounced upon.

"clang."

The claws of the alien beast collided with Wu Kui's weapon, making a metallic collision sound, and some orange-red sparks splashed at the collision point.

"What a hard claw." Wu Kui's expression suddenly changed, and as soon as the thought flashed through his mind, he was swatted away by the alien beast.

"boom……"

It hit the ground hard and rolled several times.

"Cough cough cough."

Fortunately, he was not seriously injured. He coughed a few times and was about to get up from the ground to continue fighting, but he felt a huge force appear on his body.

"Roar……"

It turned out that the alien beast rushed in front of Wu Kui, threw him down and pinned him down.

"It's over."

Wu Kui couldn't move his body, and looked at the strange beast so close, filled with despair.

Seeing the alien beast opening its bloody mouth, ready to bite off Wu Kui's head, at this critical moment, a figure appeared next to the alien beast.

"If you eat people in front of me, you don't take me seriously!"

As the words fell, an extremely fierce force fell on the colorful leopard beast.

"boom."

After being punched in the abdomen, Alien Beast felt as if he had been hit by a rhinoceros.

The severe pain made it widen its eyes, and then its body flew out uncontrollably.

"You...!" Without the suppression of the alien beast, Wu Kui felt relaxed all over. He looked at Lin Li who had saved him in disbelief, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

"You go protect those two people, and I'll deal with this alien beast." Lin Li glanced at Wu Kui, who had a shocked expression on his face, and then walked towards the alien beast that was knocked away.

"Roar……"

The alien beast got up from the ground, bared its teeth and roared at Lin Li.

The blow just now made it hate Lin Li, and then it kicked the ground on all fours and launched a ferocious attack at a speed that ordinary practitioners could not keep up with the naked eye.

"Be careful." Wu Kui reminded quickly.

Lin Li nimbly dodged sideways, and the strange beast passed by him.

After missing the blow, the alien beast immediately twisted its waist after landing, changed its direction and pounced on the target again.

"We have to find another place to kill this guy." Lin Li muttered to himself.

Then he bent over and bent his knees, kicked his feet violently on the ground, and jumped back more than ten meters.

"boom."

The alien beast jumped into the air again, and its extremely sharp claws fell on the ground, leaving two shallow pits on the ground.

"Come after me!" Lin Li stepped back, stretched out his finger and pointed it at the alien beast, which was full of provocation.

"Roar……"

The angry beast roared, its eyes turned red as blood, and then chased after Lin Li.

One person and one animal entered the lush grass one after another. The rustling sound of swaying branches and leaves gradually became distant and soon disappeared.

"Isn't Brother Lin in danger?" The two prospectors said with some concern when they saw Lin Li leading the strange beast away.

Wu Kui originally wanted to help, but considering that the two prospectors still needed protection, he gave up the idea and said to them.

"He will not be in danger. With the strength he showed just now, even if he cannot kill the alien beast, he can easily escape from it."

After hearing this, the two prospectors' worries disappeared a lot. Then they recalled the dangerous scene just now and praised Lin Li.

"Brother Lin just punched away the alien beast. He was really brave."

"To have such strength at such an age is unbelievable..."

Wu Kui listened to the two prospectors' unabashed admiration for Lin Li, and felt embarrassed when he recalled his previous unfriendly words to Lin Li.
