Back at Mu Wan Mountain, Xiang Xiang took the map and handed it to Mu Wan.

Mu Wan took a look, the map was recorded on a piece of brown bark, and immediately his scalp was numb, and his voice trembled a little: "Xiangxiang, this is the bark ......"

The bark in the hand is very fresh, and it has the fragrance of camphor wood.

Xiangxiang was confused by her, nodded in affirmation: "Yes, this is the bark." "She's a tree spirit, and she uses a piece of bark to record something, and it's very usual.

"Does it hurt?" Mu Wan was very distressed. In order to help her get a broken map, Xiangxiang peeled such a large piece of bark from the main body without saying a word. She held it in her hand, and it hurt in her heart.

"Huh? What hurts? Xiangxiang's eyes widened, slightly stunned, and immediately reacted, laughed, pointed to the bark and said, "This is the same as the leaves I use to make dresses." After my sister finishes using it, remember to give Xiangxiang, and Xiangxiang will be put back into the body. ”

Oh, I see. Mu Wan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll use the jade slip to record it again now, and I can return it to you right away." ”

"Okay." Xiang Xiang smiled sweetly.

After Teng finished recording, Mu Wan returned the bark map to Xiangxiang. As soon as Xiangxiang beckoned, the bark map turned into a green wood aura, slipped into the space, and disappeared.

"Sister, when are we going to catch the Wind Leopard?"

Mu Wan replied: "Don't worry, I'll make a list first and go to Fang City to prepare some things." ”

She walked to the practice room, sat down in front of the bookcase, lifted the pen, and wrote as she thought: animal cage, rope......

Xiangxiang tilted her head next to the bookcase and looked at it, seeing this. Puzzled, he asked, "Sister, what are you doing when you buy a cage and a rope?" ”

"Catch the Wind Beast." If you really rely on only a pair of fists to fight two hundred third-order wind leopards, it will be funny. Mu Wan is going to dig some traps or something. She had no similar experience, but had occasionally read about it in some idle books in her previous life. So...... Heavenly Venerable bless, the disciple can be victorious!

"Ordinary animal cages and ropes are not as good as fragrant branches and roots. Sister, don't buy it. ”

Mu Wan stopped her pen and looked at her.

Xiangxiang said seriously: "Sister, don't worry, Xiangxiang won't hurt." After using it, just remember to return the incense. Also, the fragrance is so stuffy. My sister will also allow Xiangxiang to come out and move her muscles and bones when the time comes. ”

I know that chubby chick's things can't be used in vain. Mu Wan angrily reached out and tapped her forehead: "The last sentence is the point." Right! Got it! Let's go in the evening! "It is clearly written on the map that the third-order wind leopard usually sleeps in its burrow during the day, and only comes out from midnight to dawn.

"Great!" A fat girl got her wish and jumped up with joy.

Looks like there's nothing left to prepare. Mu Wan decided to go to the back mountain in the evening. Try the water first. Thereupon. She hurried to go to bed. Nourish your spirits.

Xiangxiang had already slept well in the morning, and jumped to the small wooden shed to check her spiritual rice wine.

When the moon rises in the middle of the sky, Mu Wan comes out of the back room. on the promenade. Xiangxiang is ready to go. She wrapped her hair in a black triangle and tied a beautiful knot at the top of her head; She was also wearing a black night suit, and she was wearing a pair of soft-soled black boots, which was like a chivalrous woman who came out of the script. Of course, this chivalrous woman who kills the rich and helps the poor is a child's version of ......

Mu Wan was speechless.

Back Mountain is not just a mountain, but a mountain range. It hovers over the north side of the outer gate, stretching for more than 800 miles, and is an area specially set aside by the Taiyi Sect for the low-level disciples of the inner and outer gates to practice. There are tens of thousands of demon beasts in the mountain range and almost all the common spirit grasses and elixirs on Donghua Continent.

But there are no big demons above the seventh order in the mountains. The reason is that the demon beasts in the back mountain are actually specially bred by the sect. The sect is very strict about their management, and without permission, they are not allowed to become spirits (big demons above the seventh order, usually jokingly called spirits or goblins by monks) - there is a beast taming office at the outer gate, and one of its functions is to manage the demon beasts in the back mountain.

Whenever a demon beast has cultivated to the fifth order, the sect will not only solemnly record it, but also put a beast taming ring around its neck. Since then, the whereabouts of this demon beast have been well known to the beast tamer.

When the demon beast has cultivated to the sixth-order Great Perfection, the hunting team in the beast taming department will be dispatched. There are two ways to choose from in front of this demon beast, one is to join the Taiyi Sect and be a war beast; The second is to exterminate.

Even so, the back mountain is a high-risk place. The sect strictly forbids disciples below the third level of qi refining to go to the back mountain to practice. Violators, once discovered, will be sent to the mine to serve hard labor for more than three months and less than half a year.

At the same time, there are rules for the distribution of monsters in the back mountains. The low-level demon beasts from the white order to the second order are all on the periphery, and the inner circle is the middle-level demon beasts of the third and fourth orders, and the more high-level demon beasts are, the closer they are to the center. The most central area is deliberately circled on the map with a red pen and says "high-risk area". In it, they are all middle and high-level demon beasts above the fifth order.

The Wind Leopard is a small monster beast, which is a solitary monster and does not have a fixed habitat. On the map, there are only a lot of small black dots marked in the area where the inner circle and the outer ring are boundary, and the black dots are marked next to them: There are third-order wind leopards at the black dots.

Heaven also comes to make beauty. Tonight, the moon is bright and the stars are thin. The monsters love to bathe in the watery moonlight and exhale the aura, so that they can absorb more moonlight.

Mu Wan sacrificed the auspicious cloud sword and went straight to the back mountain.

After walking for about a cup of tea, Xiangxiang warned in the space: Sister, that Hu Shanshan is moving closer to us with the sword.

Mu Wan's eyebrows frowned slightly, and she asked with her divine sense: How long has she been following?

Wait, Xiangxiang checks it out.

After a while, Xiangxiang replied: Half an hour slower than us. Hmph, sister, she's clearly spying on us!

Mu Wan didn't say anything, but her hands were quietly clenched into fists, speeding up the speed of the sword, and at the same time, she secretly guessed in her heart: How did she do it? Could it be that there is also her eyeliner among the people who live next door to me?

Thinking of this possibility, she couldn't help but feel a chill in her back, and instructed Xiangxiang with her divine sense: After we go back, check the people who live around us. See if they have dealings with Hu Shanshan.

Oh good! Xiangxiang should be taken in one sip. Covering her mouth again, she ate and laughed: Sister, that woman is so slow that she is dying, and she is being left farther and farther away by us. She was on the flying sword, and her face was crooked.

Mu Wan snorted coldly.

After another quarter of an hour, Mu Wan arrived at the periphery of the back mountain. Without stopping, she stepped on the auspicious clouds and rushed straight in the direction of the inner circle.

A quarter of an hour later, Hu Shanshan rushed to the sky above the border of the back mountain. At this time, above the dark night, only a bright moon shone on the earth. Where can you still see Mu Wan's figure?

Hu Shanshan looked around. A mouthful of silver teeth "creaked". Bah said: "Little crumbs, run fast." Hmph, isn't there just a good flying sword? Morning and evening, it's my aunt's! ”

At this time, in the distance, in the dark mountains. There was a dull roar of a tiger.

"Little chops. The big night is also restless. Ran to the back mountain to die. Heavenly Honorable forbid, let the demon beast bite you to death! Hu Shanshan shuddered and quickly turned the flying sword. Hurry away.

Mu Wan followed the map and soon arrived at the place marked with a small black dot. This is a river bay with large reeds.

The reed beach elephant in the moonlight is covered with a layer of silver veil, beautiful and mysterious. The surface of the river is sparkling, reflecting the moonlight, and the silver light is shining.

The nights here are exceptionally peaceful.

Xiangxiang asked in the space: Sister, can Xiangxiang come out?

Mu Wan responded: "Come out." ”

Before she could finish speaking, Xiangxiang jumped out of the space and levitated beside her. It should be found that the night of the moonlight everywhere is dressed in black, but it is more conspicuous, Xiao Nizi is very clever to change her outfit, wearing a silver-white short, wearing a cloak of the same color, a golden belt with an inch wide waist, fluttering clothes, heroic and cool.

"This should be the place where the Wind Leopard drinks, let's find a hidden place to hide our body first." Mu Wan looked around and said.

"Hmm, Xiangxiang will check first." Xiangxiang said, putting her fingers against the center of her eyebrows, her eyes slightly closed.

Mu Wan had already seen a satisfying hiding place, so she lowered the flying sword.

After a while, Xiangxiang had already checked the plant memories of this area. She said quickly: "Sister, wait for three o'clock, and there will be third-order wind leopards coming from all directions to drink water one after another. This is one of the few places where they gather. ”

So much better! Mu Wan looked up at the sky and said, "There is still a pillar of incense in the third quarter of the ion, let's go to that stone ditch and hide first." As he spoke, he slapped a mid-level breath talisman on his body.

Her favorite hiding place was a natural stone ditch only four feet wide, only about ten feet away from the river bay. There is a large banyan tree growing above the stone ditch. The canopy of the trees is like a canopy, and under the moonlight, the shade of the trees just covers the entire stone ditch. In addition, there were still a lot of branches and vines hanging down from the trees, and if it weren't for her excellent eyesight, she wouldn't have found that there was a stone ditch in this place.

Xiangxiang glanced at it and praised: "It's really a good place to hide." ”

The two walked over and jumped into the stone ditch. The stone ditch is about four feet deep, and Mu Wan stands at the bottom of the ditch, and can still expose the parts above the eyes. Xiangxiang, on the other hand, is about an inch shorter than Shigou, and even if she stands on tiptoe, she can't see the situation outside.

Since she couldn't see it, she simply sat down on her legs under the ditch. Anyway, she has a way to observe the situation outside, and she doesn't have to see with her eyes.

Seeing that Mu Wan was standing up straight, staring intently at the side of the river, she also reached out and pulled one of the corners of the former's sleeve: "Sister, it's still early." Why don't you sit down and take a break? Xiangxiang will attach a trace of consciousness to the banyan tree to help you keep an eye on it. "The master is not like her, the closer to midnight, the more energetic she is. At this time on weekdays, the owner sleeps the most soundly. She still has to fight third-order demon beasts for a while, and she is very worried that her master will not be able to bear it by then.

What's more, in her ancient inheritance, the third-order demon beast can be regarded as a relatively powerful existence for her who has only built a foundation.

Now, she was uneasy and completely bottomless.

Well, she admits that most of the Grass and Wood Spirit members are a bit timid. At best, they are peaceful in nature and do not like to fight.

Mu Wan thought about it, and sat down with her back against the stone ditch wall, closing her eyes and recuperating.

Seeing this, Xiangxiang stretched out a trace of divine sense, attached it to the big banyan tree, and closely watched the situation outside.

After about a quarter of an hour, the sound of tapping and tapping came from afar. It was especially clear on such a silent night.

Mu Wan's ears moved slightly, and she immediately opened her eyes.

Almost at the same time, Xiangxiang used her divine sense to tell her: Sister, there are three wind leopards coming out of the mountain pass to the north. One large and two small, the big one is just the third order.

Mu Wan held her breath, stood up lightly, grabbed the edge of the ditch, and looked at the mountain pass to the north.

After more than a dozen breaths, three black shadows appeared in the mountain pass.

This is the first time Mu Wan has seen a wind leopard in her life. Her eyes widened, and a large group of grass and mud horses ran through her heart: This is also called a small demon beast!

The three wind leopards were all black, except for the tip of their tails, which were white. The largest one was in front, and its body was about a foot long. The two smaller ones were also more than two feet long. They were zigzag-shaped, alertly keeping their bellies close to the ground, and slowly walking towards the bend.

Mu Wan had hunted many third-order demon beasts on the way to the sect. Uncle Zhang gave her science popularization that the higher the cultivation of the demon beast, the bigger the size. Usually, among the third-order demon beasts, excluding snakes and insects and other groups, those with a body length of more than one zhang are considered to be large. With her current cultivation, if she encounters a big guy, try not to confront him head-on.

Xiangxiang tugged at the corner of her sleeve again, and said with her divine sense: Sister, do you want Xiangxiang to use the technique of imprisonment to fix them first?

To be honest, it was the first time in her life that she had seen such a big guy, and she was really scared.

At this moment, the third-order wind leopard had already walked to the edge of the river with the two little ones. It first scanned the river vigilantly to make sure that there was no danger, and then leaned down and quickly stretched out a red tongue to lick and drink.

In the moonlight, its two pairs of fangs were exposed, and the cold light shimmered.

Xiangxiang saw it clearly, and couldn't help but shudder, and her little face turned pale. Woo, it's so dangerous outside, Xiangxiang is so scared, how to break!

After a few sips, the third-order wind leopard stepped aside, looked around vigilantly, and then turned around and roared at the two little ones behind it. It was like a reminder: Come and drink water.

The two little ones trotted over and lay down by the river, and also followed the example of the big ones, sticking out their pink tongues and purring and drinking.

Mu Wan understood: the two small ones had no teeth. This is a mother beast with two cubs out to drink.

She held her breath and sat back down to the bottom of the ditch.

Xiangxiang looked at her in surprise and asked with her divine sense: Sister, why don't you make a move? I can't help but speculate in my heart: Is my sister also afraid?

Mu Wan shook her head and replied with her divine sense: That third-order wind leopard is a female leopard with cubs. The two little leopards haven't grown their teeth yet.

Xiangxiang's green eyes were full of doubts, indicating that she didn't understand.

Mu Wan explained with his divine sense: God has the virtue of a good life. I don't kill the female beast with cubs.

If the mother beast is killed, the two young beasts that have not yet grown teeth lose the protection of the mother beast, which is equivalent to two delicious snacks. Moreover, what is the difference between this and the corrupt behavior of fishing and burning forests to hunt?
