Chapter 14: Half-Step Demon Cultivation
An incomparably cold aura overflowed from the corner, and a pair of eyes that were as dark as ink, but emitted a black light, suddenly appeared.
Hunting Knife and the others suddenly trembled, and an inexplicable chill spread from the heart of their feet to the back of their heads, and just this glance, they couldn't afford to have any desire to resist.
A faint demonic aura suddenly floated out.
The faces of the members of the Senwang team changed drastically, and they were so frightened that they hurriedly took a few steps back, although this demonic aura was relatively light and would not be fatal, but it would make their lives worse than death.
For any spiritual person, demonic energy is more terrifying than poison.
The fluttering demonic qi, as if it had eyes, circled around the hunting knife and the others, and they found that their true yuan actually stopped at that moment, and their faces suddenly turned white. True Yuan stagnation, even for a moment, if it happens in battle, will determine life and death.
Then!
A man with pale black skin came out of the shadows.
Hunting Knife and the others all felt a chill in their necks, and they had no doubt that if the man in front of them wanted to kill them, they would definitely not survive today.
Who the hell is he?
This is the question of all the members of the Senwang team.
"This is my eldest brother Mu Da, my eldest brother has been cultivating near the forbidden area all the year round, and he rarely comes back, it's normal that you haven't seen it, to tell you the truth, don't look at my eldest brother who only has the strength of the sixth order now, but if he really makes a move, the three of me together are not his opponents. Mu Jian introduced.
Hunting knives and others showed respectful expressions.
As a member of the Senwang team, no one knows the strength of the wooden sword better than them, he is a sixth-order spiritual master, and he is also the top master in the same level of the Xuanmu clan, in their eyes, the wooden sword is already very strong, but there is an even more powerful one in front of him.
"Big Brother Mu Da has been absorbing demonic qi for six and a half years, and in another half a year, he will be the first half-step demon cultivator of our Xuanmu clan in more than three hundred years. Mu Jian's face was filled with excitement.
It's only one step away from a half-step demon cultivator!
Hunting Knife and the others gasped, and the respect in their eyes was immediately replaced by awe.
If you want to become a half-step demon cultivator, the price you pay is extremely high, they have tried to absorb demon qi, but they insist on it for ten days at most and then give up.
It's so painful!
Even the wooden sword with the strongest willpower only lasted for a month and then gave up.
Over the years, there have been many spiritual monks in the Xuanmu clan who want to become half-step demon cultivators and absorb demonic qi to cultivate, but almost all of them have died on the way to cultivation, some have been painfully killed, and some have chosen to commit suicide because they can't bear the inhuman pain.
It's very good to be able to hold on for a year, but it's hard to imagine for more than six and a half years.
However, the harvest is also huge.
Even if he was only one step away from a half-step demon cultivator, Mu Da was far superior to a wooden sword of the same level of strength, if he became a half-step demon cultivator, wouldn't his strength be even more terrifying?
"Big brother, I'm sorry for you. Mu Jian said sincerely.
"Hmm!"
Mu Da nodded expressionlessly.
Hunting Knife and the others were suddenly full of confidence, with the help of a master second only to the half-step demon cultivator, this competition was not yet hand-to-hand, and the Phoenix Hunting Team was determined to lose this time. As for the personnel issue, Mu Jian directly singled out one of the weakest members and asked Mu Da to join in.
......
Rise!
The door of the hunting department was suddenly pushed open.
"Uncle Li, it's been a long time. ”
A clear voice came from outside the door, and a young man about seventeen or eighteen years old walked in.
The man's face is like a crown of jade, his facial features are exquisite, his eyes are like stars, his pupils are pure, his fingers are slender and fair, his handsome face and smooth skin, even women can't help but be jealous.
Behind the young man, there was an old man, and if you didn't look closely, it would be difficult to detect the presence of this old man.
The old man was dressed plainly, with a rickety back, no different from ordinary clan elders, but under the faint old eyes, a powerful momentum flashed from time to time.
"Young Master Xiu!" Elder Hunting hurriedly greeted him with trepidation and excitement, and when he saw the old man, he immediately bowed and saluted, "Mo Li has seen Elder Fu. ”
......
The house at the top of the hunting department is one of the favorite residences of the hunting elder Mo Li, and it is rarely used, even if the patriarch of the Xuanmu clan comes, he can only meet Mo Li in the second house, but today, the top house is wide open.
Inside the house!
The carpet is made of the fur of the ninth-order fierce beast wind wolf, the walls are covered with the bones and heads of various rare beasts, and an ancient formation is carved on the edge, and in the center of the array, a crystal nucleus of a demon beast is placed, and the concentration of true qi in the room is more than three times that of the outside world.
"Young Master Xiu, Fu Lao, this is the only 10,000-year-old Tianxiang tea on the Xianling Mountain Range, although it is not as good as the Baiwei Ning Immortal Tea in the Holy City, but the taste is quite good, please taste it, two of you." After carefully pouring the tea, Mo Li stood aside respectfully.
"Uncle Li is too polite. Mo Shaoxiu nodded his head, but instead of drinking tea, he looked at everything in the house, and said lightly: "It seems that Uncle Li is doing well in the Xuanmu clan." ”
The young master smiled. ”
Mo Li's face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly said, cold sweat oozing from his forehead. Although he had a high status in the Xuanmu Clan, and even the patriarch had to respect him for three points, he knew very well that his identity and status were given by the Mo family in the Holy City.
The Mo Shaoxiu in front of him is the descendant of the Mo family, and one sentence can decide his future and everything. If you make the other party unhappy, maybe you will be taken back to the Mo family for disposal the next day.
Cold sweat dripped down, but Mo Li didn't dare to reach out to wipe it.
"This time I came here at the request of my father, I came to inspect the various branches under my jurisdiction, the Xuanmu clan has gained a lot in recent years, and Uncle Li's contribution is not small, I will tell my father truthfully. Mo Shaoxiu said slowly.
"Thank you, young master!" Mo Li suddenly turned his worries into joy.
"Uncle Li doesn't need to be polite, by the way, when I came just now, there were a lot of hunters gathered outside, it looked quite lively, listening to them talk, it seems that there are two squads going to have a gambling fight?"
"That's right, there are two squads fighting! This is not the first time that these two teams have competed, they have been competing in previous years, but they are not as powerful as this year. Over the years, the Phoenix Hunting Team has had bad luck and has repeatedly lost to the Senwang Team, but this time both teams have made heavy bets and sworn in the name of their ancestors. Mo Li hurriedly said.
"Oh?" a hint of interest appeared on Mo Shaoxiu's delicate face, "Swearing in the name of the ancestor?" Uncle Li, which side do you think has a better chance of winning?"
"My subordinates personally believe that the Senwang team has a better chance of winning. ”
"Why?" Mo Shaoxiu said curiously, "Didn't you say that the strength of the two squads is similar?"
"That was before last year, this year the Senwang team added a new member, this person's name is Muda, he has been absorbing demonic qi for more than six and a half years, and he is only one step away from half-step demon cultivation, the Senwang team has this person joining, even if the Phoenix Hunting Team has the help of a mysterious weapon, the winning rate is not high, not to mention ......"
"What's more?"
"The Phoenix Hunting Squad also brought two newcomers who had just reached the third order strength before, and they would definitely devote some of their minds to taking care of them. ”
"When gambling, joining newcomers is a big taboo. Mo Shaoxiu nodded in agreement, then touched his chin and said, "Uncle Li, how long will this gambling fight take?"
"Twenty-four hours. ”
"Well, Fubo, there's nothing important for the time being, why don't we leave in two days? Let's see how this gamble is? If that Muda's qualifications are not bad, you can consider bringing him back to the Holy City with him. Mo Shaoxiu's inquiring gaze fell on the old man on the side.
"Everything is up to the young master. Fauber's eyelids opened and closed.
......
The primitive area is spread all over the periphery of the Xianling Mountains, located between the residential area and the forbidden area, most of them are connected to the forbidden area in the form of a belt, and there are also some areas where the entire area is a primitive area, each primitive area is large and small, and the beasts of the division are also different.
The hunting site chosen by the Phoenix Hunting Team is located near Tiannu Peak in the north of the Xianling Mountains, where the primeval area is larger, covering an area of thousands of square kilometers.
For the two newcomers, Lin Hao and Sen Luo, in their eyes, the primitive area is the same, no different.
After stepping into the primitive area, Lin Hao realized that following an experienced hunting team could indeed avoid a lot of trouble, for example, before entering the primitive area, he had to wipe some special herbs all over his body to drive away poisonous insects.
Sen Luo was so careless that he didn't wipe the herbs carefully, so that his index finger was bitten by a poisonous insect, and the pain made this guy scream.
"Don't think that if you enter the primitive area, you can hunt and kill fierce beasts, some fierce beasts live in groups, if you fall into it, it is almost a life ...... death" Xia Luo stood aside and explained the various matters to be paid attention to when entering the primitive area.
Although the members of the Phoenix Hunting Team don't like Lin Hao and the others very much, they will still do what they should do, and they will not ignore the two.
I have to say that after Xia Luo's explanation, Lin Hao has a certain understanding of hunting in the primitive area, hunting is a university question, not only must be able to observe, listen, but also think more, otherwise it will be difficult to hunt and kill fierce beasts.
Beasts of prey are not trees, they stand in place stupidly, they move around, and it is not clear who the prey is.
Bi Yuelan glanced at the surroundings vigilantly, then stepped forward quickly, squatted on the ground, gently stirred the grass with her hands, and carefully observed the footprints of the beast on the ground.
Lin Hao, who was standing behind and watching around, couldn't help but feel a burst of blood boiling when he saw this scene.
"Looks good, right?"
"It's good-looking!" Lin Hao nodded subconsciously.
"Would you like to touch it?"
"Want to ......"
As soon as Lin Hao blurted out his words, he immediately noticed that something was wrong, only to find that Xia Luo was standing aside at some point, staring at him with a frosty face.
"Don't dream, you'll never have this opportunity. Xia Luo's eyes were full of disdain.
Lin Hao frowned, from the beginning to the present, this woman has been looking for her own trouble, did she provoke her?
"How do you know I don't have a chance?" Lin Hao retorted.
Xia Luo sneered: "Why do you say that you have a chance? To tell you the truth, there are more men who want to marry Sister Lan, with your strength, at most you will be at the bottom, cultivate for a few more years, and maybe there will be this opportunity." With that, he turned around and left.
A few more years of cultivation?
Do you look down on me?
Lin Hao pursed his lips, too lazy to meet this cautious woman.
"Scythe, you go check it out. ”
Bi Yuelan shouted to the thin team member behind her, and the member nodded, and immediately ran to the front to investigate.
After a while, the member named Flying Scythe turned around and said with an excited face: "Sister Lan, there is a small river in front, and there are six Iron Rhinos of Sixth-Order strength next to them, they are eating, there are four adult ones, one of them is the leader Iron Rhino, do you want to take them down?"
"Four, wait a minute, you restrain the leader Iron Rhino, Xia Luo pay attention to answer, and the others will deal with those three with me first. The strength of the two of you is only the third order, and it is difficult to deal with the Iron Rhino, so wait here first, and then come and meet you after we finish solving the Iron Rhino. ”
Bi Yuelan quickly gave an order, and the last sentence was to Lin Hao and the others.
"I want to go too......" Sen Luo said angrily.
"No, wait until the next time you encounter a weaker beast, you will make a move. Bi Yuelan refused on the spot, she didn't want to be distracted to take care of these two newcomers when she was hunting the iron rhino.
Subsequently!
Under the leadership of Bi Yuelan, the Phoenix Hunting Team divided into two parts and quickly marched forward in an orderly manner, and the figure quickly disappeared into the trees.
"Brother, what should we do now?" Sen Luo looked at Lin Hao.
"Just wait here. ”
As Lin Hao spoke, he glanced around, the members of the Phoenix Hunting Team had already taught him how to identify the footprints of the beast, and there was nothing to do anyway, so he simply looked for the footprints on the ground to verify.
After about a quarter of an hour, Bi Yuelan returned with the members, each of them carrying a single horn of an iron rhinoceros.
Although Lin Hao didn't see them make a move, being able to deal with four Iron Rhinos with Sixth-Order strength in such a short period of time was enough to see the strength of this team.
