Chapter 1 Ancient Village Section 10 Demon Crystal
"I knew that you would come to Uncle Xiang, and it would be in vain, Uncle Xiang wouldn't let you do it. Yueyue followed, as if she knew why Gu Lei was here. Although he didn't mind, Langyu still had a feeling of being fooled. It turns out that this kid still has his little calculations in leading himself out.
Hearing this, Guray just turned around and stuck out his tongue, grimaced, and ran forward again.
Soon after entering the forest, the faint fragrance of trees and flowers was gradually masked by a fishy smell, accompanied by the smell of dissected organs. Sure enough, after turning two corners, there was an empty field ahead. It is surrounded by a simple wooden fence, and there are several wooden houses on stilts on all sides, which are supported by more than a dozen thigh-thick wooden stakes, and are more than two meters above the ground, so they look very conspicuous.
When he saw the scene under the wooden house, Langyu couldn't help but feel a churn in his heart and almost vomited. It was a completely bloody scene. Dissected corpses, bloody heads, severed limbs. In the courtyard there were stacks of stacks and stacks there, and there were those that were carried on long poles, and those strung together on a rope. After a careful look at Lang Yu, he was sure that this was a slaughterhouse, and of course those corpses and heads were all kinds of beasts.
There were also seven or eight strong men in the field, all of them shirtless, wielding knives and axes. There are also people who are dragging or carrying limbs in the classification.
Lang Yu really hasn't seen this formation. Although he once crisscrossed the rivers and lakes, he almost never saw blood, just kidnapped people and property, and hurt people's hearts without hurting people. There's no need for that, the object he attacked didn't have any hatred in the first place, just shoveling uneven grass. Seeing this today, it is inevitable that my mind will be dizzy for a while, but Yueyue is very experienced in covering her mouth and nose.
Only Gu Lei was different, stopped, waited for Lang Yu and them to come up, and looked at Yueyue with a disdainful expression. Then he gave Lang Yu a thumbs up and straightened it in front of his chest. "Brother, see it, it's called blood. ”
"Poof" Langyu couldn't help but squirt out. It's really the first time I've heard that blood is explained like this, which provoked Yueyue to pout, "Stinky beauty, you".
The commotion here was also noticed by the people in the field, and several people stopped what they were doing and came around this side.
"Young Master Lei is here. ”
"I've seen Young Master Lei." A few of them were respectful, but not inhibited. It can be seen that Gu Lei does not have any young master shelf on weekdays.
Gu Lei waved his hand, looked behind a few people, and as if he suddenly remembered something, he turned around and looked at the two sisters Lang Yu and said to everyone: "This is Miss Yue, oh, I already know each other, this is Young Master Yu." Several people greeted him again and saluted.
Miss, Young Master, this title Lang Yu couldn't accept it for a while, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed in his heart, and his face was still a little hot. It's the first time I've been called like this. is the same as acting, but these people, including Yueyue, are clearly serious.
Gu Lei even made a gesture: "This is Elder Lu's-" Seeing the somewhat blank expressions of several people, he couldn't help but think of something. After a pause, he changed his words and said, "You'll know tomorrow, just call it the same as me anyway," and then changed the subject and said, "You guys should go and get busy." Where is Uncle Gu Xiang?"
One of them turned his head and pointed to a stilt house in the west, "Washing and refining demon crystals in the west room, this time I was really lucky, and I hit a second-level demon crystal." ”
"Really, well, quickly!" Hearing the demon crystal, Gu Lei's eyes immediately lit up. Pulling Langyu to run towards the Westinghouse.
Walking up the wooden ladder to the stilt house, the door of the wooden house is not closed, and you can clearly see the contents of the house through the doorway that only allows one person to pass through. Lang Yu and the three of them didn't rush in when they arrived at the door, Gu Lei and Yueyue wanted to look secretly, and Lang Yu was cautious. For when he had just ascended the ladder, he felt an inexplicable force of rejection in the wooden house, like the repulsion between two magnets of the same sex, which became stronger and stronger as they got closer, and they wanted to squeeze him downstairs, and he had to hold Guray's hand tightly.
What's going on? Just resisting themselves, but Gu Lei and Yueyue walked freely as if they didn't feel it. I couldn't help but be curious, and I glanced over the shoulders of the two and looked into the house. Suddenly, an orange ball of light came into his eyes, a fireball? The fireball was the size of a human head, but it was slowly scaling and scaling, as if it was still slowly rotating, and an inch-long orange light shot out from its body. At first, it was difficult to see, but after a while, it was noticed that above the center of the fireball was a pale red crystal the size of a pigeon's egg, with an irregular shape, from which the light was emitting.
This thing is what they call a demon crystal? What is the concept of this demon crystal, Lang Yu has no impression at all, but it looks very strange.
After getting used to it for a while, Lang Yu noticed that this fireball was held in his hand, to be precise, it was held by two big hands, one hand was lower on the left and the palm was up, and one hand was on the right and the palm was down. Holding this fireball was a middle-aged man in a green shirt, in his forties, sitting cross-legged on the ground, and the fireball floated less than two feet on his chest. At this time, he was staring intently at the demon crystal in his palm, as if he was carved clay from wood.
At this time, Gu Lei turned his head and covered his mouth at Lang Yu and made a silent gesture. This is a gesture that is naturally understood and is common all over the world. Lang Yu nodded at him, still focusing on the fireball.
This phenomenon is indeed a bit bizarre, and it seems to be beyond Langyu's logical thinking. The thing hung between the palms of the palm without any support. In his understanding, there seems to be a similar kind of qigong that can volley objects, but only to move objects over a short distance. It's inconceivable to make a finger like this. At the beginning, he was also cultivating the art of raising the depth, concentrating his energy, and with the true qi of the dantian, he could cross the spine of the house, and he was as light as a swallow. The master once said that there are no more than five fingers in this world who can surpass him in this technique, and it seems that there are still strong players in the strong. Seeing the nature of a strange cultivator, when he is surpassed by others in the aspect of which he is proud, he will naturally have a strong heart, and Lang Yu is no exception.
At the moment, he stared at it with a good eye, but unfortunately he still didn't see the reason until the ball of light gradually became the size of his fist. More than a quarter of an hour had passed, and the ball of light in the man's hand had finally begun to shrink again, and the color of the light had faded, but the lens in the ball of light had taken on a dark brown color.
The middle-aged man was relaxed at this time. A breathy voice came from the room: "Come in." Although he didn't look up, he didn't even move his eyes, thinking that he had already discovered the arrival of the three little ones.
Gu Lei immediately ran over excitedly, squatting beside the middle-aged man and reaching out to try to touch the light. When he got closer, Lang Yu realized that there was still a heat around the middle-aged man. It's like approaching a slate that has been scorched by the midday sun.
And when the last trace of orange light quickly converged, and the dark brown hedron fell on the man's hand, the heat and the repulsion disappeared together.
The middle-aged man put away the spar, stood up, looked at Gu Lei's longing eyes, and smiled on his slightly thin face, "I guessed that it was you kid." Then he turned and opened a jade box from the table, and carefully put the hedron in. Looking at Gu Lei's disappointed expression, Yueyue of course lost no time in hitting him hard.
The middle-aged man in Tsing Yi is Uncle Xiang, a third-level martial artist, who is in charge of this deer farm. Dealing with the skin, fur and flesh of the prey, sorting and grooming, and of course, refining the demon crystal, it is said that this demon crystal is a very valuable thing, and it is the essence of the demon beast.
What Lang Yu saw was not the original appearance of the demon crystal, the demon crystal should have been light red, fire attribute. Because it is only the second level, the color is not heavy, if it is above the fifth level, it is a blood red, like a red-hot iron block. The demon crystal itself contains some impurities attached to the monster beasts, of course, it is essential for the monsters, but humans cannot absorb them, so they have to go through preliminary refinement. The impurities that are refined are attached to the demon crystal, such as the dark brown substance just seen, and the crystal coat on this surface cannot be destroyed when it is stored, so as to ensure that the essence of the demon crystal will not overflow.
After Gu Lei told Uncle Xiang about Lang Yu, Uncle Xiang was obviously more enthusiastic. Seeing Lang Yu's curious appearance, he carefully explained some information about this demon crystal to him. also opened the box and let him touch it, and Gu Lei scratched his ears and cheeks with envy on the side.
Then Uncle Xiang took them to the courtyard, looking at all kinds of beast heads and skeletons, Lang Yu rolled his eyes again, one by one with different names in his consciousness, beast heads with similar and greatly different appearances, and huge bones. Some are even quite terrifying.
Uncle Xiang didn't seem to be talkative, but at this time, regardless of whether Lang Yu understood, he pointed to the various beast heads and skins that passed by and introduced those strong people in the forest. Regardless of the coat color, appearance, habits, attack methods, etc., such as a few family treasures just tell the story. But he is a connoisseur.
Behind him, Gu Lei didn't know when he dragged a long knife in his hand and pointed at the heads of beasts, or fingers on the neck, or pointed at the door, or eyes, and posed in various poses. Uncle Xiang began to talk to him a few times, but then he didn't care, and he didn't dare to really stab him with a knife. A few strong men just looked at it and smiled, but Yueyue followed Uncle Xiang honestly, it seemed that she didn't like this scene very much, and only occasionally asked a few words. Sometimes I am afraid that Langyu will not understand and add a few more words.
According to them, the beasts in this deer farm were hunted from the Kurome forest, which was closest to the village. Every month, the ancient village will send a team of clansmen into the Black Eye Forest, the team is led by a few samurai, and the rest are at least third-level fighters to go, one is hunting and collecting medicine, and the other is training, which is the foundation of the family's growth. Of course, there will be casualties in the process. Gu Lei had cultivated to the rank of a third-level fighter two months ago, but Grandpa Gu did not allow him to go through the training, and he had to reach the warrior level before he was allowed to go out. Therefore, Gu Lei's heart is itching very much now, and he can only come here from time to time to vent, but the aura scene here makes his blood boil even more every time. It's even more disturbing to come once. But I came as soon as I had the opportunity, and I wished I could try two knives when I met someone alive. But don't talk about the living, even the dead Uncle Xiang won't allow him to kill again. Because everything on these beasts is precious to the ancient people, and the people have to live on these things. Some have different injuries when hunting, especially the skin, because the price of a little defect is greatly discounted.
After walking for a while, Lang Yu felt another strange situation. As long as you don't take more than ten steps by Uncle Xiang's side, you won't have that fishy smell. No wonder Yueyue doesn't run around with Gu Lei. It's weird.
