34. Methods of creating mysteries
Most of the cultivators who came to Baishui City to make a living used swords, and Ma Jun was no exception.
"How often does Brother Ma participate in the hunting group operation?" Yan Li took the initiative to break the silence.
Ma Jun swung his sword to cut off a branch that stood in the way, and frowned: "Why are you asking this?"
"I just want to know about Whitewater. Yan Lidao.
Ma Jun sneered: "It seems that it is not the first time you have joined the group, I heard Yu Wenfei say that you are here to participate in the entry trial of the Sword Court, since you are so ambitious, you should draw a line with us who are working hard and scattering as soon as possible, so as not to lower your status!"
"It seems that there is a deep misunderstanding. Yan Li shrugged his shoulders, but did not continue to discuss the topic, and said, "There are only three goals for the scattered people's actions: food and clothing, cultivation, and treasures. In addition, the extended food of the house and the woman is a secondary demand. Judging from my understanding of Shenmeng Lake, the strength of our hunting group is not strong, why doesn't Chen Hunter recruit a few more people?"
Ma Jun frowned and said, "Time is limited, and Gongzi Lian has been urging to go." Several headhunters who have made friends with the predecessors have tasks on their bodies, and they can't recruit more masters temporarily. Do you think that the seniors deliberately did not recruit people, so as to get more benefits from Lian Gongzi?"
"It's a superficial idea. Yan Li smiled and said, "I thought he had a deeper reason for bringing you together. ”
"What do you want to say?" said Ma Jun.
"You see, the strength of the hunting group is not strong," Yan Li said, "With Lian Gongzi's financial resources, he can find more cultivators to escort him." Just because he doesn't understand doesn't mean you don't understand either. Brother Ma, you came to join the group because of the sky-high remuneration given by Lian Gongzi, I guess you have been saving money for a long time for a certain goal. ”
"You ......," Ma Jun was taken aback, and sprang out like a frightened rabbit, "what do you want to do?"
Yan Li took out a green steel sword with his backhand, and said lightly: "I don't want to do anything, it's just ......"
Choke!
The green steel sword turned into a burst of silver light and shot out.
"I'm fighting with you!" Ma Jun's eyes were red, he roared angrily, and he also drew his sword and pounced.
Whew!
Then a muffled sound stopped him, and he stiffened his body and turned back mechanically to see a black bear's head flying into the sky.
After the green steel sword slashed the head of the black bear, it sank into the trunk of a tree behind it, "buzzing" like a feather arrow.
Ma Jun was stunned and stunned, grabbing the sword and not accepting it, not accepting it, and being embarrassed for a while.
Yan Li smiled slightly, slowly paced over, pulled out the green steel sword, shook off the blood stains and returned to the sheath, "This bear is enough to eat, it seems that the task has been completed smoothly." ”
"Yes, yes. Ma Jun said. Seeing that Yan Li really had nothing out of the ordinary, he also returned the sword to the sheath, and took the initiative to say, "You, the bear you killed, I will be responsible for carrying it back." ”
"Then I'm bothering you. Yan Li smiled and walked back first.
Ma Jun breathed a sigh of relief and carried the carcass of the black bear and followed.
On the way back, his attitude softened, and thinking back to Yan Li's words, he finally couldn't help but take the initiative to talk: "Brother Yan, you said that the predecessors of the divine ape gathered us together for a deeper reason, what do you mean?"
"Everything is just my guess. Yan Li said, "Before it is confirmed, I can't talk nonsense, you just have more eyes." ”
Ma Jun couldn't help but say, "But, how did Brother Yan know about my current situation?"
"It's not hard to speculate. Yan Li said, "Look at your treasure." ”
Ma Jun glanced at the sword on his waist, this was a martial arts treasure, it didn't seem to be anything special, "What's wrong with the treasure weapon below?" his tone changed unconsciously.
"It's not hard to deduce from your conversations how much the hunting group earns. Yan Li said, "You are now in the upper realm of cultivation, but the treasure is still a martial product, I have calculated, it is almost the same as preparing two hundred soul stones for advancement, I believe that two hundred soul stones can be saved in less than two years." Add to that the fact that you are dressed modestly, where is your money spent? My tentative results speak for themselves, you are saving more money and preparing to do something. Since it is not the advancement of the treasure weapon, it can only be done by renting the Cave Heaven Blessed Land for empowerment. ”
Ma Jun sighed and said, "I didn't expect to be able to infer so much information from just these two details. ”
"Your other two companions are in a similar situation. Yan Lidao.
"It's not a companion, but I've had a relationship and a little bit of understanding. Ma Jun shook his head, "Zhou Tong is here to buy advanced methods, and Sun Lu, like me, is for empowerment." ”
"Hmm. Yan Li nodded, and had no intention of speaking again.
A person's speech will affect the impression of others to some extent.
Ma Jun felt that Yan Li was a little mysterious now, and his heart was naturally in awe, so he didn't dare to speak casually.
Hit a bear back, and everyone did not show surprise.
For cultivators in the Cultivation Realm, it is not much of a threat for ordinary black bears to come to ten heads, but there is no chef to cook them, and there is not enough time, so at the suggestion of Lao Jianghu, the bear meat is made into marinated meat and brought on the road in case of emergency.
Around noon, the hunting group continued to set off.
Nothing happened then, and before the time came, he stepped into the range of the hunting grounds, the area where the Starfall Beast infestation began.
As soon as they entered the hunting ground, everyone was silent, except for Lian Gongzi and his favorite concubine who laughed from time to time.
When the hour was approaching, the sky was about to darken, and the sunset shone from the other side of the mountain, and the road ahead suddenly broke off, and a hill appeared in front of me.
When Chen Tai saw it, he came to the sedan chair and said, "Lian Gongzi, the sky is getting dark, we have to find a dry place to spend the night." ”
"Isn't it nice here?" Lian Gongzi pointed ahead.
He was referring to the hollow under the hill, backed by rocks, which was indeed a good place to sleep on the road.
Chen Tai shook his head and said, "This is the territory of the mountain monsters, they are best at disguised as stones and attack passers-by, in case they come to attack at night, it is difficult to guarantee that you will not be harmed." ”
Lian Gongzi frowned, but had no choice but to say, "Then you say, where are you going?"
"Let's climb over this mountain first. Chen Tai said.
"Let's go. Lian Gongzi said.
The palanquin bearers were embarrassed and looked at each other.
"Waste. Lian Gongzi scolded and got down from the sedan chair, while beckoning his guards to climb the mountain and put a rope down to pick him up.
The two guards immediately ran over to climb, and suddenly felt a strange wind overhead, looked up, and were shocked to find a boulder falling down.
Rumble!
The two guards were smashed into meat sauce without any suspense.
After the boulder hit the ground, it writhed, and finally turned into a stone giant several feet high, staring at the hunters with a little light that I don't know whether it was eyes or mung beans, and slapping the ground with a "bang, bang", and let out a silent roar.
