Vigilante A moved stealthily, relying on his talisman, the Aura-Concealing Jade Pendant, and his own martial arts to conceal his aura. After a few hours, he arrived near the habitat of the mutated Blood Porcupine demons.
He found a protruding slope to hide himself, and then carefully observed his surroundings.
This was a place with lush water and grass.
A vast lake was located here, rippling when the wind blew. The reeds swayed, and the lake's surface was like a mirror that reflected the scenery by the shore.
Beside the lake were large patches of meadow, occasionally mixed in with some mounds with shrubs growing on them. It was full of life.
If one only looked at the scenery, this was a great place to travel.
If the group of blood-eyed porcupines on the shore were not counted … They were panting heavily, and from time to time, they would rub their mouths against the ground. Occasionally, they would raise their heads to look in a certain direction, and their blood-red eyes revealed a faint trace of fear.
The direction they were looking at was where a mound was. There were bushes and thick grass, and nothing unusual could be seen. There were only some faint signs of the grass falling down, but other than that, there was nothing unusual.
Other than that, this beautiful lake was supposed to be a paradise for birds, but now there was not a single bird in sight, only some fat fish jumping out of the water from time to time.
Fang Ning stayed in the System Space as usual, looking at the System Map and comparing it with the actual scenery through the System View.
The scenery was definitely beautiful, and the location was also good. If it was in the hands of the Chinese, it would definitely not be abandoned. This place would either be developed into a tourist attraction or a breeding farm.
However, for some reason, after looking at it, he felt his heart skip a beat. However, the danger did not seem to come from the porcupine demons in front of him.
Could it be from the evil people controlling the porcupines? Could they be hiding nearby?
The Whitetail Monkey King said that most of them were dark-skinned, not tall, spoke strangely, and had a cunning mind.
Fang Ning carefully looked at the System Map. On the map, there was only the color of the porcupine demons, nothing else could be seen.
The porcupine demons were all red with a hint of black, and they covered a large area. They covered a large area on the System Map, and looked exceptionally scary.
The monsters in this dungeon were different from those on the big map. This kind of scene could not be seen in the land of China.
According to the game book's data, these porcupine demons were all above Pond-level. One of them was even as big as three swimming pools. It was obviously the Porcupine King.
Fang Ning noticed that Sir System did not act rashly and seemed to be observing carefully.
Fang Ning reminded, "I sense danger, but it's not coming from these porcupines. You have to be careful. Hou Dabai said that there's a group of people controlling them from behind the scenes, but I don't know where they're hiding now. What do we do? "
The System said, "Salad, I'll transfer it in immediately."
Fang Ning was shocked. "Sir, you've always been happy when you hear of strange things. Why are you scared now?"
The System said, "I've always been happy when I hear about strange things, but I've never become stupid when I see one …"
Fang Ning was speechless. "Oh, so you're saying that these guys are hard to deal with? Then why did you come here to farm these porcupine demons?"
The System said, "The battle environment is ever-changing. Back then, I saw that they were the only ones on the map. If it was just them, I would have a way to deal with them after collecting some information about them.
"But when I got here, I realized that there's an even more dangerous guy hiding nearby, controlling these porcupine demons. The map didn't show its existence, so I could only vaguely sense its terrifying aura when I got here. This guy is very good at hiding, and it's not inferior to the Greater Rat Demons. "
Fang Ning shuddered when he heard that. "'A more dangerous fellow'? What is that? It can't be a snake, right? "
The System said, "Huh, you've seen snake demons many times, right? How can you guess so accurately? But this one is a hundred times more dangerous than your master snake demon. It's not as kind as your master snake demon, it's a very evil thing. "
Fang Ning shuddered. "Nonsense, you said 'only one', so of course I have to guess what I'm most afraid of, right? Why don't you activate the True Vision effect and see? "
The System said, "It'll only waste my Morality Bar. Anyway, it's not something we can deal with alone. Let's go look for the people Hou Dabai mentioned. They can't be this strong, or they would've been kings in the outside world. Anderson would've warned you. "
Fang Ning was relieved. 'So that's how it is. Sir System only needs to know that we should pick on the weakest persimmon.'
He looked at his surroundings again through the System View, but he couldn't find where the snake was hiding.
However, the dangerous aura that lingered in his heart and the System's past achievements told him that the System wouldn't be wrong this time.
Fang Ning couldn't help but sigh, 'Sir System is really reliable in battle. At least its ability to observe the enemy is amazing, it can almost "know yourself and know your enemy" to a certain extent.
No wonder it could always guarantee that it had a considerable advantage in battle, and wouldn't farm things that it couldn't farm …
This was why it gave people the feeling of "victory in every battle".
After sighing, Fang Ning asked, "Why can't I see the snake? How can you always find the enemy without using any skills? What kind of power is that?"
The System said, "Oh, you're such a bad fighter. You can't even think of that? Didn't you see my power when we were distinguishing between real and fake lilacs? "
Fang Ning suddenly understood. Through the System View, he carefully observed the seemingly ordinary scenery around the lake and finally found some unnoticeable abnormalities.
He finally found the place where the porcupines were looking. Under the mound, there were some grass that had fallen slightly, and there were some faint traces of crawling in the grass. If the image of the abnormal grass was processed by a computer, it would probably be able to produce a special image, which would be the traces of a snake crawling.
He finally understood how powerful the System was.
Throughout Fang Ning's observation, the System did not disturb him, nor did it urge him to turn around. It only let its Host observe.
Fang Ning looked at it and said in admiration, "I see. You're a System after all, so your ability to analyze far exceeds that of a living being. These seemingly ordinary surroundings would be easily overlooked by normal people. Powerhouses can only sense the dangerous aura, but it's hard for them to notice the abnormality.
"But in your eyes, you can instantly synthesize countless details. Combined with your ability to sense energy, there's basically no place for you to hide from your eyes."
The System said, "Host, you're really imaginative. Once I mentioned it, you guessed everything correctly, but you missed out on some things."
"Spells that directly target Vigilante A are ineffective, but if the surrounding environment is disguised by spells, I can only use my Morality to activate Spirit Gaze and True Vision when I sense danger, then I can only use my Morality and use Spirit Gaze to obtain detailed information. Only then can I discover the enemy's situation. Of course, I don't have X-ray vision. "
Fang Ning nodded and said, "Then where are you going to find the people Hou Dabai mentioned? I've been staring at the System Map just now, but I didn't see any traces of them. "
When Vigilante A was rushing to the lake, Fang Ning had been searching for the people controlling the porcupine demons behind the scenes on the System Map.
This Land of Heritage was full of life and spirits. There were too many dots of different colors on the System Map.
Red, yellow, in twos and threes, densely packed together. Some were big, some were small, some were as big as a pond, some were as small as a grain of rice; some had more, some had fewer, some had too many to count, and some only had one. They were scattered everywhere, making it hard to distinguish them.
The porcupine demons were gathered in a large area, and it was outside the wilderness, so it was very eye-catching and easy to find. As for the others, Fang Ning really couldn't tell.
At this time, the difference between a genius and a bad student was once again shown.
The System said, "They don't have such strong concealment abilities, I can see them with one glance. They just left here about a day ago, and now they're gathered in one place. I don't know what they're discussing, just follow me."
With that, Vigilante A quietly left the quiet lakeside.
After he left, some time later, under the mound, the bushes swayed, and a deep cave suddenly appeared from behind the bushes.
A king cobra with a towering head and neck suddenly appeared from the cave.
It had a flat head, a cold and cunning gaze, a bright red tongue, and a long body, all of which showed how scary and dangerous it was.
After the king cobra appeared, the porcupines that were digging up the ground immediately quieted down. Their bloodthirsty eyes were mixed with fear.
The king cobra ignored them, and turned to look in the direction Vigilante A left with a confused look in its eyes.
After a while, it turned its head and hissed at the porcupines.
Not long after, the porcupines started to move slowly and started running in one direction. The spikes on their bodies shone coldly, and a pair of blood red eyes, as if they were choosing a person to eat.
…
In a dense forest, there was an open space with several modern tents scattered on it. These tents faintly formed a circle.
At the center of the circle, a few dark-skinned men were surrounding a tall man with extremely white skin.
The man said, "Sadi, your partner, Shaz, has left you for eight years. You can still control it when you're near it. Now that we've been discovered by that black snake, we moved our camp here to avoid the Chinese. It's far away, will it still listen to your commands? "
A short, dark-skinned man hurriedly bowed and said respectfully, "Master Priest, if Shaz is just a normal king cobra, it won't work. But it's a Divine Snake that has gained sentience, and has the potential to become one of the incarnations of the God of Destruction. It won't ignore our commands. Although it's extremely powerful now, it's at a bottleneck. If it wants to break through, it has to rely on us. "
The Caucasian man nodded, looking very satisfied. "That's good, we'll wait for it to command the beasts to teach the Chinese a lesson. After that, they'll definitely agree to give us a good place for cultivation, and it'll save us a lot of effort in exploring."
Sadi immediately replied, "That's for sure. The wild beasts used to have no one to command them, so they couldn't affect them much. Now that they have Shaz and us to command them, they won't be able to pass without suffering heavy casualties."
The Caucasian man laughed. "Hehe, you're right. You've done a great job this time. We only wanted to come in and steal some rare beasts, but we didn't expect to find a terrifying king cobra. It's the one that you lost eight years ago, Seth.
"So it left you because it was summoned by the God of Destruction. It found that door and entered this place in advance. Now it's so powerful, and most importantly, it still recognizes you. It's really a blessing from the gods. Although we're more than ten years behind the Chinese, and only just entered this Land of Heritage, as long as they have this king cobra, this Land of Heritage will eventually belong to us. "
