Chapter 174: Hunting
The six of them set up a tent in a nearby open field and built a bonfire to keep warm. In the Ali Mountains at night, the cold is very heavy. Moreover, these cold qi are unusual, they can invade the human body, make the meridians inhibited, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will get sick and fall down, and you can't heal for a long time.
There are many theories about this chill. Some people say that it is due to the unique geographical situation of the Ali Mountains; some people say that the cold air is wrapped in some poisonous miasma, which makes the breath fierce; and even more mysterious, it is said that there are heavy treasures buried in the depths of the mountain range, which affects the mountain atmosphere......
"Brother Liang, drink water!"
Long Qiushu brought a bowl of boiling water.
This bowl of water exudes a strong ginger flavor, but when it is boiled, an herb called "Du Ye Xiang Ginger" is added. Drinking it can effectively expel the cold from the body.
Liang Qiufeng took it and said "thank you".
Martial artists practice outside, eat and sleep in the open, this is ordinary, most of the food is spiritual rice, and those who have the conditions will hunt monsters for food.
It's just that there are all kinds of monsters in the world, and not all kinds of beast meat can be eaten. Some flesh and blood are certainly rich in vitality, but there are also many beasts, because of their living habits, etc., their flesh and blood are harmful to the warriors, if you eat rashly, it will hurt your stomach at the lightest, and it will damage the internal organs and six internal organs, and it will also weaken your cultivation.
Liang Qiufeng took a sip of ginger water, which was a little spicy when it first entered his throat, but then he quenched his thirst, as if he drank ice water on a hot day, which was very comfortable.
"Delicious!"
Long Qiushu said with a smile: "Brother Liang is the first time to come to the Ali Mountains to experience, the first time to drink this ginger water." β
Liang Qiufeng nodded: "Exactly...... I'm not afraid of Brother Long's jokes, I did know something about the Ali Mountains before I came, but if I want to drink ginger water to drive away the cold, if you don't remind me, I really don't know. β
Long Qiu said: "Drink water to drive away the cold." But all the warriors who come to the Ali Mountains will know. Or because of this, others think it's common sense and think you're clear, so it's missing. β
Liang Qiufeng nodded.
In fact, when Zhang Jiangshan talked to him endlessly, the focus was on showing off the history of his majesty when he was training, and there was little mention of common sense. Many things were still something that Liang Qiufeng decided to come out to experience, deliberately consulted books, and secretly remembered them in his heart.
Over there, Wu Lin said: "Once born, twice ripe." With the cultivation of the Liang brothers, they will soon be able to get started. β
Maybe in the big sect, the strength of the ninth stage is nothing, but for the wandering martial artist, it is quite a powerful cultivation.
Wasteland environmental restrictions. The resources are poor, and the cultivation progress of the martial artist is deeply troubled, and the idlers have a strong six or seven sections, and they can already be called masters.
The current team, in addition to Wu Lin is the ninth stage of strength, Long Qiu is the eighth stage of strength. Stone strength is seven sections, Liu Cui and Xiong Liang are strength six sections, and Wu Danmei is the worst, only five sections of strength.
This is also the reason why Long Qiushou is close to Liang Qiufeng. But what he was puzzled about was that since the other party had the cultivation of the Nine Stages of the Powerful Dao, why did he come to the Ali Mountains for the first time to practice? Could it be that he usually retreated and went up to cultivate, and when the cultivation reached a certain level? Is this really out of the mountain?
As far as he knew, there were quite a few such people among the warriors. Not surprising.
Xiong Liang said with a smile: "Now that we have Wu Bo and Brother Liang in our team, two strong nine-stage figures, this trip will definitely be fruitful." β
Long Qiu said: "I hope so...... It's not too early, so let's rest early. As for the duty of vigil, it was carried out in turn according to the original arrangement. β
Although there are many martial artists nearby, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and sometimes people are more dangerous than demon beasts, so you must be cautious.
In the Ali Mountains at night, the beasts roar like a tide, one after another, which makes people hear and are inexplicably frightened.
After a night of nothing, the next morning they got up, cleaned up a little, and began to go up the mountain.
Team hunting monsters, different from individual combat, will always be arranged by the person who takes the lead in advance, and some deployments will be made according to the characteristics of each person's martial arts.
In this way, when facing demon beasts, they can develop their strengths and complement each other's strengths, so as to make the efficiency higher.
"Hey, that's a person from Tiandumen, strange, why didn't he wear sect clothes......"
Long Qiushou pointed to the mountain road on the side and said.
Liang Qiufeng turned his head to look and saw a team of martial artists walking in an orderly manner. Sure enough, they didn't wear sect clothes, but changed into ordinary clothes.
The person who led the team, Liang Qiufeng knew, was Niu Deng, the elder of Tiandumen.
Among them, he also recognized that this team was also mixed with the disciples of the Jinsha Gang, as well as Xiao Jianfeng, the elder of the Jinsha Gang.
The people of the two gangs walked together.
They were quite fast, and they unfolded their movements, and in a flash, they quickly disappeared and disappeared.
When meeting people from the big sects in the Ali Mountains, Long Qiushou and others were commonplace, but they didn't feel anything. But Liang Qiufeng was different, his heart moved, and he seemed to think of something:
"The people of the two gangs walked together and appeared together in the Ali Mountains, what kind of conspiracy do they have to do?"
"Brother Liang, what are you thinking?"
But it was Wu Danmei who saw Liang Qiufeng's expression suddenly, so she walked over and asked.
Liang Qiufeng said casually: "It's nothing, hehe, maybe it's the first time I've gone up the mountain, and I'm a little nervous." β
Wu Danmei pursed her lips and smiled: "You are a cultivator of the ninth stage of strength, you are nervous, what should we do?"
This smile, swaying, is beautiful.
Xiong Liang saw that his eyes were a little straight.
Liu Cui couldn't see it, pouted, muttered vaguely, and could see from the shape of her mouth that she was vaguely scolding the "fox spirit".
"Okay, let's go quickly, go directly to the lake to ambush the spotted crane, it's too late, I'm afraid there will be no place." β
Wangji Lake is located at the southern foot of Ali Mountains, is a lake located in the mountains, the area is not small, like a mirror embedded in the mountains, the scenery is beautiful.
This lake belongs to the habitat of the third-order demon beast spotted crane, the spotted crane is called "crane", but the body is as large as an ostrich, the wings are short, can not soar, can only flap the wings for short-distance gliding. However, it is very good at water, and can swim for miles in one breath after diving into the water.
As a third-order demon beast, the most valuable part of the brindled crane is a mouth, black with red spots, extremely tough, and can refine a special horn, which can be used to refine weapons, which can increase the sharpness of weapons and sharpen iron like mud.
With a pair of mouths, the market price can be sold for 300 catties of spiritual rice, which is a very good price. In addition, the meat of the spotted crane is delicious and contains vitality, and it is sold to the restaurant, and each catty of meat can be exchanged for five catties of spiritual rice.
Therefore, Long Qiushou decided to hunt spotted cranes first.
Thousands of warriors rushed to the Ali Mountains, and except for the new ones, the average person was quite purposeful, rather than running around the mountains.
If you run around, it is easy to lose your way, and you are more likely to provoke some powerful demon beasts, and there is no place to die.
Although the Ali Mountains are vast, the southern foothills have been explored and pondered by countless people, and a fairly clear map has been sorted out, and the distribution of demon beasts is well understood.
With these, hunting is twice as effective with half the effort.
The six of them stopped talking, spread their bodies, and hurried in the direction of Wangji Lake.
About half an hour later, through a forest, a large lake appeared in front of me.
The lake is blue, and when the mountain breeze rises, it blows a circle of waves.
To the north of the lake, there is a wide swamp, with a radius of dozens of acres. There are many weeds growing in the field, covered with verdant patches, and there are no signs of it on the surface. But if someone steps on it, they will immediately fall into it and be buried alive.
The swamp is unfathomable, and the quagmire has a suction power, and if you do it lightly, it will be difficult to get up again.
In the past, there were unsuspecting warriors, who saw that the swamp was the habitat of the spotted crane, and wanted to rush over to hunt it, but the clinker fell into the mud one by one, and the more they struggled, the faster they sank, and in a short time they were buried with nothing left.
Later, everyone knew that the swamp was dangerous, and they no longer dared to set foot in the past. Only honestly stay by the lake, wait for the spotted cranes to come out to feed and play, and then hunt.
At this time, some advantageous positions on the lakeside have been occupied by warriors, and they are also groups, each ambushing, holding weapons and waiting quietly. As soon as the spotted crane appears in the area, it will use its means to hunt it.
Long Qiushu and the others arrived early, and occupied a good position on the southeast side of the lakeβit was a shallow shoal, with stones on the side, and a little further back, there were woods, which were perfect for ambushes.
After occupying the space, the dragon autumn harvest began to divide labor. Each other is a martial artist with a lot of experience, and you can understand it when you hear it, so you don't need to say more.
After finishing speaking, Long Qiushu took out a ball of things, but the size of a fist, unfolded, and turned into a large net ten zhang long.
I don't know what material this net is woven from, it is extremely soft, and those net threads are filthy, small and transparent, and if you open it and block it in the air, you can't see it without looking closely.
Wu Lin saw it, and his face was happy: "Ah Long, I didn't expect you to even buy Mochou Net, with it, it is easier to hunt spotted cranes." β
Long Qiushui smiled and said, "The guy who eats mixed rice naturally has to be ready." Declare in advance, I bought this network for a lot of money, and in terms of contribution, I can take up some more shares. β
There is no point in this.
Liang Qiufeng looked at it with interest. He came to the Ali Mountains to train, slay demon beasts, and only relied on a sword. For the methods of Long Qiushou and others, just take a look at it and increase experience.
Long Qiushou arranged for Shi Shi and Xiong Liang to be responsible for pulling the net, and as long as the spotted crane flew into the shallows, the two would pull up the net at the entrance and cut off the retreat of the spotted crane.
Two women stood guard in the woods.
As for Long Qiushui, Liang Qiufeng, and Wu Lin, the cultivation is the highest, and they are the main force of hunting.
The spotted crane is a third-order demon beast, although it can't fly high, but it is fierce by nature, its mouth is long and sharp, and if it is pecked, it will hurt very much. If you are hit in the throat, eyes, or other vital parts, you will be seriously injured if you don't die.
After the division of labor was completed, everyone did not wait long.
"Quack!"
With a sound like a duck's call, a flock of large, almost bloated brindled cranes appeared on the surface of the lake, playing with each other and swimming to the shore.
Two of them were swimming in the direction of the shallows.
