Electromagnetic Tyrant

Chapter 45 Peak Valley

Ji Xinghuo and the other three also came to the cliff and looked into the distance to see a large number of steep peaks.

These mountains are not particularly high, most are below 500 meters, and a few can exceed 1,000 meters. The highest peak that can be seen in the field of vision is only more than 2,000 meters high.

 However, almost every exposed mountain peak is rocky.

The terrain is extremely steep, with scattered heights. Cliffs and stone pillar platforms can be seen everywhere, covered with dense green plants and jungles. Deep ravines are densely covered with gurgling water. Pieces of clouds and mist are shrouded in the mountains. You can even see them suspended in the sky in the distance. The stone peaks are like a fairyland on earth.

Ji Xinghuo thought of the karst landforms on the earth, the most famous of which is the Tianmen Mountain Scenic Area.

However, this place is more magnificent and majestic than Tianmen Mountain.

 “Juefenggu!”

 “I’ve heard of this place before, and finally I saw it with my own eyes.”

Chi Zhonglin looked at the magnificent scenery, suddenly rummaged in his backpack a few times, took out a camera and took pictures of the mountains and rivers in the distance.

Ji Xinghuo was a little curious, "What kind of camera is this, and it actually works?"

"An old-fashioned film camera does not use electricity. It uses a mechanical shutter and a disposable flash bulb. It is a test of your photography skills." After Chi Zhonglin took a few pictures, he turned around and asked: "Xinghuo, do you want me to take some pictures for you?" How many photos? I'll help you develop them when you get back. They can be used as souvenirs."

"sure."

Ji Xinghuo readily agreed. This was an experience he had never had before.

He followed Chi Zhonglin's request, turned his back to Juefenggu, faced the camera, made a scissors gesture with his right hand, and smiled on his face.

 “Get closer, raise your head, don’t smile so stiffly, be more natural.”

"Yeah…"

 “Okay, hold still and don’t move.”

 “Ready, 3, 2, 1!”

 Click!

With a flash of white light, the image at this moment was reflected on the film. Chi Zhonglin asked Ji Xinghuo to change several positions and take dozens of pictures until the roll of film was used up.

Ji Xinghuo saw that he was very professional, playing with the camera, and asked curiously: "Zhonglin, are you a professional photographer?"

"This is my hobby. I'm a senior photographer." Chi Zhonglin said with a smile on his face, "Film cameras are the most traditional photographic equipment. They have a kind of classical beauty. You can use film cameras to take good photos. People are the truly great photographers.”

Ji Xinghuo saw a rare seriousness on his face, solemn and enthusiastic.

Although he doesn’t understand, he can understand.

 In this day and age, most people have their own hobbies.

  Even the most niche hobbies can form circles. Like-minded friends gather together and conduct in-depth research together. Each circle forms the society of the Asia-Pacific Community, and many "folk masters" have been born, generally called "brothers with unique skills."

Ren Mian and Jiangnan Caiyi have known Chi Zhonglin’s hobbies for a long time, so they are not surprised.

“Would you like to take some pictures too?” Chi Zhonglin asked.

 Ren Mian shook his head.

“Zhonglin-kun has taken a lot of photos for me before.” Jiangnan Caiyi also refused.

 “You can take a photo with Starfire.”

Chi Zhonglin's proposal immediately moved Jiangnan Caiyi. Seeing that Ji Xinghuo had no objection, she happily stood beside him, and the two of them took a dozen photos in a row.

"Let me take a photo with Xinghuo too." Ren Mian suddenly came over and stood next to Ji Xinghuo.

 Click!

 The picture is frozen on the film, as if it were eternity.

 “Okay, it’s time to get down to business.”

Ren Mian asked Chi Zhonglin to put away the camera, and said seriously: "We will spend the next half month in Juefeng Valley, with only one goal, and that is to find the Stone Scythe Giant Mandrill."

“Is there really a giant mandrill with a stone sickle?” Chi Zhonglin looked suspicious.

"I got the news from three channels. Someone saw a giant mandrill with a stone sickle in Juefeng Valley. More than 90% of it is true. I have to give it a try anyway." Ren Mian took out a map with Juefeng on it. The geographical distribution of the valley and indicates its current location.

Chi Zhonglin looked at the endless Shifeng Valley and sighed: "Juefeng Valley is so big. Finding a Stone Sickle Giant Mandrill in it is almost like finding a needle in a haystack. It all depends on luck."

"yes…"

Ji Xinghuo also nodded.

 He had already heard from Ren Mian yesterday that the original target of this hunting trip was the Stone Scythe Giant Mandrill.

 This is an omnivorous beast that looks like a baboon.

But they are much scarier than baboons. They are larger, stronger, faster, have four arms, are very good at climbing rocks and trees, are ferocious by nature but like to live in groups, have a certain low-level intelligence, and know how to set up traps to ambush their prey. Mess with one and a whole swarm will swarm.

 When the Stone Sickle Mandrill awakens as a monster, it will master "Stone Sickle Claw" or "Rock Skin".

 The former is a good ability, but of little value.

 It can turn the hands into a pair of hard and sharp stone claws, like a sickle. It is very powerful, but this ability is not in any professional template, and very few people can fuse it, so it cannot be sold for much money.

 On the other hand, it is rock skin. Although it is only a basic ability, some aliens will try to fuse it with it to enhance defense.     But it’s not very valuable, probably twenty or thirty thousand.

However, if the Stone Scythe Mandrill continues to grow to the elite level, and then evolves again, it will become a super monster Stone Scythe Giant Mandrill, and there is a high chance of awakening an ultra-limited power - Earth Pulse!

 Earth Pulse is the core ability of "Earthwalker".

 Very rare and very powerful.

 Of course it’s also very valuable!

The area of ​​Juefeng Valley is very large. Some people calculate that it may reach 50,000 square kilometers, which is equivalent to a small province. There are millions of stone sickle mandrills living in it. They are the dominant ones in this area, almost It is a kingdom of its own that no one dares to mess with.

 The larger the number of monsters, the more powerful the super monsters born in the population will be.

Super monsters can not only awaken the superpowers in their genes, but also, like intelligent creatures, can fuse with different species and master more superpowers.

The Stone Scythe Giant Mandrill is this kind of monster.

"We are just here to try our luck." Ren Mian said with a smile: "There are not only stone sickle mandrills in Juefeng Valley, they are just the most powerful group. In addition, there are hundreds of thousands of monsters, and maybe there are others. reward."

 “Let’s go in.”

  After a while.

Ji Xinghuo and his party climbed over the cliff and entered Juefeng Valley.

The name "Valley" actually refers to the endless mountains. When you walk among them, you will see strange peaks and cliffs. Next to you are high cliffs and dense forests. There are also many deep valleys hidden in the valley. The terrain is very complex, humid and hot, and you can see the mountains in mid-air. It's shrouded in clouds and mist, and you'll get lost if you're not careful.

 This is a paradise for adventurers and a **** for ordinary people.

 “Get around the tree.”

Ji Xinghuo pointed to the top of his head in front of him. There was a large green snake entwined in the shade of the tree. It was thicker than an arm and was difficult to find hidden among the green leaves.

“Iron arrows are green.” Chi Zhonglin curled his lips and took a detour.

This kind of snake is not poisonous, but has rough skin and thick flesh. It likes to hide in trees and pounce on its prey like an arrow. If it evolves into a monster, it will awaken the "iron scale" ability, which will be of high value.

He walked around a few meters, and a thick thousand-legged centipede jumped out of the grass, claws and teeth, biting at the shoe.

 Poof!

Chi Zhonglin crushed the giant centipede with his foot and complained: "Juefeng Valley looks good from the outside, but inside, it's simply torture."

 Ji Xinghuo agreed very much and understood it deeply.

His magnetic field sensed more things, and there were creatures everywhere.

Venomous snakes, insects, mosquitoes, flies, birds, and various small animals are densely packed from trees to underground, as well as in rock crevices and dark corners. There are countless creatures hidden within a hundred meters, and countless magnetic fields overlap. ,It's a mess.

Ren Mian is no stranger to this, and there is no change on his face.

Jiangnan Caiyi is a little scared. Women are naturally afraid of insects and snakes. Even if they become aliens, it is difficult to overcome this psychological shadow.

 Suddenly, Ji Xinghuo stopped.

He looked to the right. On the cliff about a thousand meters away, there were several long strips of platforms about a hundred meters away from the peak. Many humanoid creatures were sitting or climbing on them, looking for food among the trees on the platform.

They pick young leaves of wild fruits, dig out plant roots and stuff them into their mouths.

 “Stone sickle.”

Ji Xinghuo observed carefully.

The stone mandrill is indeed very similar to a baboon, but it is much larger. It is one and a half meters tall when it sits there. It has only a layer of short hair on its body, and its brown skin can be seen as strong as a rock.

They have human-like facial features, a long head, a protruding mouth, and a pair of blood-red eyes in the deep-set eye sockets.

 The most striking difference is that they have four thick arms.

Each palm is disproportionately huge, with four fingers that are long and pointed. They can be inserted into the soil and cut off tree trunks with a single grasp.

 When the Stone Manor stood up, it was nearly two meters tall. Its four arms and legs worked together to climb on the rock wall at a very fast speed, as if it were walking on the ground. When running, the tail behind them is revealed. It is extremely flexible and longer than the torso. It looks like a snake tail covered with large scales, with a spear-like tail blade at the end.

 Ren Mian also saw this group of stone sickle mandrills.

She looked twice, but the distance was too far to see clearly, so she said: "Get closer and don't disturb them."

 The team approached the cliff where the Shimandrill was hidden and stopped more than 200 meters away.

 “Xinghuo?” Ren Mian cast a questioning look.

Ji Xinghuo shook his head slightly.

In fact, he had already sensed it clearly on the road. There were quite a few of these stone sickle mandrills, more than forty of them. They were a medium group. Six of them evolved into monsters. The leader was an elite stone sickle mandrill, but there was no stone. Traces of the giant sickle.

Chi Zhonglin was slightly disappointed and asked, "Do you want to take action?"

"Forget it." Ren Mian shook his head, "There is no market for Stonescythe Claw and Rockskin. There is no point in hunting them, and..."

 She raised her head and glanced at the cliff, "It's not that easy to kill the Stone Mandrill in a place like this. Making a big noise may cause other troubles."

“Same.” Chi Zhonglin actually didn’t want to do anything.

Ji Xinghuo is actually quite interested. He doesn’t want alien species, but he can get spiritual energy by killing monsters!

However, his teammates were unwilling to take action, and it was not easy for him to mess around.

 The team turned around, distanced themselves from the group of stone sickle mandrills, and then continued deeper into the Juefeng Valley.
