Chapter 62: Exploring the Way
A stone path goes down the hillside, and this stone path is about a mile or two away.
Chu Yicai pointed down and said, "Go down from here and walk to the end of the stone road, and we will really enter the hinterland of Muye Mountain." The place where we are now is protected by prohibitions, and it is safe here, if we go down from here to the end of the stone path, once we step on that piece of grass, we will completely enter the range of activities of demon beasts and demon hunting teams. ”
Chu Yicai took out the map he bought before coming, compared it to the scene in front of him, carefully studied it for a while, and then said: "Childe, this map is very detailed, where there are demon beasts, where it is more dangerous, it is clearly marked. Where are we going now? Looking for monsters?"
Lin Jun shook his head and said: "We came to this place to pick up leaks, we don't take the initiative to look for demon beasts, you take a closer look at this map, first find a safer way, let's go along this road and see if there is any chance." ”
After descending the stone steps in front of the stone cave, Lin Jun and Chu Yicai stepped on a path that was not too wide, and there were many footprints on this road, indicating that many people had walked it. On both sides of the road are a variety of flowers and plants. The grass does not grow very tall, usually up to the waist of a person, and the tallest grass is only one person tall, and in the middle of these grasses grows all kinds of wild flowers that cannot be named, and the flowers bloom in a colorful and beautiful way.
Chu Yicai carefully analyzed the map and carefully analyzed the road, and he and Lin Jun always walked cautiously towards the depths of Muye Mountain according to the safe road marked on the map.
Gradually, they walked into a dense forest. The trees in the dense forest have grown for many years, all of them are towering trees as high as one or twenty zhang, or even dozens of zhang, and some trees grow very thick, and six or seven people can barely hold them. In the middle of these trees, a variety of vine trees grow, intertwined like cobwebs.
Dense foliage covers the sky and the sun, standing here and looking up. Except for the criss-crossed branches and trunks, and the dense foliage, the sky is basically not visible. The sunlight is blocked out, and occasionally in places, the sunlight shines through the gaps in the foliage, casting sparse spots.
In the distance, all sorts of strange roars rang out, some deep, some sharp, some high-pitched, some long. These sounds, at first glance, are not made by humans. Or rather, it's not the sound of a beast that is common to humans. These sounds are very penetrating, and even have a strong shock to people's body and mind.
Chu Yicai took the map and looked at it for a while and said: "Childe, according to the indication on this map, there should be low-level demon beasts in the vicinity, why don't we follow the map and kill some low-level demon beasts and take their demon pills?"
Lin Jun asked, "Do you know how many grades there are in demon beasts?"
Chu Yicai replied: "There are a total of twelve grades of demon beasts, one is a third-grade demon beast, a fourth-to-sixth-grade demon cultivator, a seventh-ninth grade is a demon immortal, and a tenth-twelfth grade is a demon saint. The demon beasts that move around here are all first-grade low-level demon beasts. ”
Lin Jun said: "That is the lowest level of demon beasts, is the demon pill of this kind of demon beast worth a lot of money on the market, can it be sold for a good price?"
Chu Yicai replied: "The demon pill of a low-grade demon beast is not valuable, and even many demon beasts of this level have not formed a demon pill. Only the demon pill of a demon beast above the second rank is valuable, but the attack power of this cultivated demon beast is already comparable to that of a monk at the peak of the forging body, if it is a demon beast above the third grade, its attack power can be close to that of a monk in the early stage of condensation, it will be terrible, we have to guard against it. I'm afraid it's not enough for the two of us to capture such a monster. ”
In fact, Chu Yicai was not worried about Lin Jun, but worried about himself, because there were only the two of them, and the manpower was still too small, once he was surrounded by cold-blooded and ruthless demon beasts, even if Lin Jun's cultivation was high, it would be difficult for Lin Jun to protect Chu Yicai when he was fighting the enemy with all his might.
Lin Jun said: "It's okay, you just follow the map to find the second grade, oh, no, find the place where the third-grade demon beast is, let's go to that place to pick up the leak?"
"Pick up the leak?" Chu Yicai shook his head and said, "Childe, I don't understand what you said about picking up leaks. ”
Lin Jun said: "Think about it. Now that the place is about to become a slaughterhouse, a large number of demon hunters have broken in. Demon beasts are not ordinary beasts, I have heard that not only are they highly cultivated, but their wisdom is also maturing, and they have no lower thinking ability than humans. We might as well put ourselves in their shoes and think about it, if we are a monster now, then what are we most concerned about at this critical moment of life and death? It must be someone who poses a threat to their safety and life. A demon hunting team like that kind of mighty coming is naturally closely watched by the demon beasts hidden in the shadows. And the two of us, one of us doesn't have the slightest bit of cultivation, and I can hide all my cultivation through the Returning Method, so that even if the two of us sneak into the depths of Muye Mountain, there will be no demon beasts paying attention to us. I feel that after the exercises of these demon beasts reach a certain level, their divine sense detection ability will definitely be very strong, especially for the ability to capture powerful breaths. And the faint breath of the two of us is often ignored by them as ordinary small animals. So when we got to the mountains, the two of us just had to crawl forward and take care to hide ourselves. No one will launch a surprise attack on us. While I was in hiding, I could sneak through my senses. If the monsters and the demon hunters are fighting well, we will sneak over quietly, and when they are defeated, we will take action. If the people of this demon hunting team are all bad guys, like the gang just now, then we will kill these bad guys at the same time as we kill the demon beasts. If the people in the demon hunting team divide the spoils unevenly, coax each other, and fight, then better, we will wait for them to fight about the same, and then suddenly strike and snatch their spoils. ”
After listening to Lin Jun's words, Chu Yicai shook his head again and again and said, "Childe, this matter must not be done. Do you see the demon hunters? They are all very skilled, and twenty or thirty people come together to form a team. Look at the weapons in their hands, they are all specially used to deal with demon beasts, and they also carry heavy weapons, and even artillery has been brought, so that they can have the strength to fight with demon beasts, and the two of us are bare-handed, and we want to go to the tiger's mouth to find food, isn't that asking for trouble?"
Lin Jun shook his head and said, "Since you have come from afar, how can you give up so easily and return empty-handed." Don't worry, the method I said is for safekeeping, so you can come with me. ”
Chu Yicai said with a sad face: "Childe, the little one who came out with you is not to run a business, but to play with his life." ”
Lin Jun and Chu Yicai walked quietly along a path in the dense forest, and they did not dare to deviate from this road at will and trespass into the dense forest without permission, because there may be all kinds of poisonous snakes, scorpions, spiders, and all kinds of poisonous insects hidden in the dense forest. A single bite of these things can kill an ordinary person instantly. Even if a monk has a certain amount of cultivation, he should immediately meditate cross-legged and rely on internal force to force out the toxins in his body.
Walking to this place, they have already entered a dangerous place. Lin Jun released his divine sense and carefully watched everything around him, while Chu Yicai didn't dare to breathe and followed closely behind him.
Suddenly, at the foot of a mountain in front of him, four or five rumbling sounds sounded one after another, this sound penetrated the world, Lin Jun thought to himself: This should be the sound of artillery.
Lin Jun turned to Chu Yicai behind him and said, "It's really a narrow road, I didn't expect to find them so quickly." Go, our chance for revenge has arrived. ”
