"You're going to use this scrap iron to hunt demon beasts?" Luo Xiaoxue followed behind, looking at Mu Han, who was carrying the cheap sword and shield he had bought from the blacksmith shop and walking towards the forest, he asked in disbelief.

"Eldest sister, it's good that I can buy these with a few children in my pocket." Thinking of his empty pockets, Mu Han couldn't help but feel a pain in his flesh, and at the same time he didn't forget to complain about the blacksmith shop owner in his heart, he usually seemed to have a good relationship with his grandfather, but when it came to money, he turned his face and didn't recognize people, and even 1 mani didn't want to be cheap, sure enough, any relationship in front of money was unreliable. Thinking of this, Mu Han couldn't help but glance at the silver-white long sword on Qi Yue's waist, although Mu Han didn't understand swords and couldn't see anything special about this sword, Mu Han could see that this sword was definitely worth a lot of money......

The forest that Mu Han and the three of them are going to is called the Lattice Forest, which is the largest forest in the territory of the Nifur Kingdom.

The entrance to the lattice forest was in lattice town, which was not too far, so the three of Mu Han walked for about an hour to get there. The closer you get to the entrance of the forest, the fewer the inhabitants are, except for a few who run blacksmiths, pharmacies, and taverns, and the rest are mostly hunters and soldiers stationed in the kingdom.

The reason why the kingdom sent troops here Mu Han knew a little, and I heard the old people in the town say that it was because more than ten years ago, when Mu Ze and Mu Han had not settled in Grid Town, there were often situations where demon beasts attacked the town, such as one or two demon beasts with some ordinary beasts attacking the town, and it was easy to solve the small fights with the neighboring hunter guilds to send a few powerful guild hunters or the surrounding cities to send an army. But this place has been attacked by dozens or even hundreds of demon beasts with thousands of ordinary fierce beasts, and it has been attacked more than once or twice, and once and once the lattice town is destroyed, the surrounding cities will naturally be impacted, and the first to bear the brunt is the nearest Lunhua City to the lattice town, which is why Lunhua City relies on the career development of hunters.

It is said that in the most serious beast tide, the kingdom was forced to dispatch nearly 1/3 of the country's military strength and ordered all the hunters' guilds in the country to offer high bounties to summon the national hunters to suppress it, and it was also after that time that the kingdom began to station troops in Lattice Town. Lattice Town, which has experienced several large and small beast tide attacks, has also become a "ghost town" that is rarely populated, and in addition to the soldiers stationed here, they are basically some old people who can't stand the toss. But suddenly one day, the kingdom announced that Grid Town would never be attacked by the beast tide again, at first no one believed it, but that year Grid Town was indeed not attacked by the demon beast species, even if it didn't even happen like the previous small fight, so some bold people began to fight the idea of soldiers and hunters, and began to open taverns in Grid Town, and then slowly someone opened a blacksmith shop and a pharmacy, and from then on, Grid Town regained its vitality. And Mu Han was also brought to settle in Gezi Town by Mu Ze during that time, when Mu Han was less than a year old.

When they came to the entrance of the forest, Mu Han and the three of them were not in a hurry to enter, but found a tavern to eat something simply, after all, they came out in a hurry, they didn't eat anything, and they couldn't go to fight with the demon beast species on an empty stomach.

"Food, water, insect repellent powder, sleeping bag......" Listening to what Luo Xiaoxue said to prepare for entering the forest, Mu Han's brain was about to explode, it was not that he didn't know what he needed to prepare, after all, he had entered the forest so many times with Mu Ze, and he would stay in the forest for two or three days each time, but this time the situation was different - he had no money! He came this time completely out of anger, he didn't prepare anything before he came out, and the money was just a little on his own, and he had already spent money on weapons and armor. "In the end, there are some blood clotting medicines, you only need to prepare your own of these things, I and Qi Yue's will prepare them ourselves, let's go buy them after eating, I see that the store next to it is quite complete." After Luo Xiaoxue finished speaking, she directly ignored Mu Han's crying face, lowered her head and ate her own things.

"The point is, I can't even afford my own share......" Mu Han muttered quietly, while not forgetting to look pitifully at Qi Yue, who was also eating with his head down.

As if he knew that he couldn't hide, Qi Yue had no choice but to raise his head helplessly and said, "Okay, okay, I can lend you the money, but ......" A sly smile appeared on Qi Yue's perfect face.

.

Mu Han looked at Qi Yue and Luo Xiaoxue who were walking briskly in front and were about to cry, they were trotting and jumping in front, but they were struggling to walk behind. Qi Yue's condition for borrowing money is that everything is carried by Mu Han, Mu Han thinks it's nothing, he is still very confident in his physical strength, but the ghost knows that these two people bought a tent each, or the kind that can sleep four or five people on one roof.

"Isn't a tent enough for the two of you?" Mu Han shouted at the front.

"I'm a girl, alas, how can I share a tent with a boy." Luo Xiaoxue said.

"Then you want to buy a tent, why do you want me to buy a sleeping bag!" Mu Han shouted at Qi Yue again.

"I'm so pretty, how can I share a tent with a boy." Qi Yue said.

"Pervert, you!"

After buying all the things, the three of them didn't stay anymore and walked directly towards the entrance of the forest. The entrance is also guarded by the soldiers of the kingdom, because to enter the forest, you must have a certificate issued by the town or the hunter's guild, but because Mu Han often goes into the forest with Mu Ze to collect medicine, he is also familiar with the guards, and this kind of thing that goes through the process is not needed.

At this time, there are many people waiting in line to enter the forest, and there are also many people at the entrance of the forest who are now recruiting teammates to hunt in the forest, basically some part-time hunters, and a few free hunters, generally this kind of temporary group of teams hunts some fierce beasts that are not too powerful, but Mu Han actually heard that someone was recruiting teammates to hunt demon beasts, and his expression became rich for a while, because this kind of team that has not been run-in at all to hunt demon beasts is sent to death unless someone in the team has the strength to match the demon beast species. Thinking of this, Mu Han couldn't help but worry about himself, and the demon beast species was alone, could he really do it? However, when he thought that there were two people around him who could save his life, and on the way here, Mu Han also knew that Qi Yue and Luo Xiaoxue were the guild hunters of the Cold Night Fang of the First Hunter Guild in Lunhua City, so he also had confidence in his heart, and decided to give it a big deal and continue to go back to be a pharmacy guy.

After queuing for more than ten minutes, Mu Han and the guards exchanged a few words of greeting and entered the forest smoothly. Stepping into the lattice forest again, Mu Han still had a strange feeling in his heart, after all, he almost didn't get out alive the last time he entered the forest.

"I can't find it on the periphery, let's go deep into the forest." Luo Xiaoxue said, "Do you remember the approximate range of the last time you found it?" Take us there. ”

Hearing Luo Xiaoxue's words, Mu Han came back to his senses, took a deep breath and trotted to the front to lead the way, although half a month had passed, but Mu Han might not forget the place where he met the swift red.

"Why do you want to be a hunter?" After walking for a while, Luo Xiaoxue followed behind and asked.

"Don't you need to ask, it's a boy who wants to be a hunter." Mu Han replied.

"It's that simple?"

"Or else?" Mu Han wanted to take it casually, but when he thought that Luo Xiaoxue could always guess his thoughts in the pharmacy, he turned around and asked tentatively, "You won't guess anything again, will you?" ”

"Guess your idea is not interesting at all," Luo Xiaoxue said, "I just want to remind you that being a hunter is not a playhouse, if it is just because of your boys' ridiculous hero dreams, I advise you to give up as soon as possible, study medicine hard to save lives and help the wounded, you can become a hero, there is no need to put your life on the line for an unrealistic dream." ”

"Che, do I look so naïve? I'm not interested in heroes or anything. ”

"Aren't you naïve? It's just that you're going to fight the demon beast species in anger," Luo Xiaoxue mocked, "You're just a little kid who hasn't dried up." ”

"Huh? Be a babe in the woods? Brat? I? Mu Han was reluctant when he heard this, and turned to Luo Xiaoxue and rolled up his sleeves unconvinced, "I said eldest sister, how much older are you than me?" Say that I haven't dried up yet, and you can become a guild hunter of the Fangs of the Cold Night as a girl, why can't I? I don't believe that I have the ability to fight alone, don't say that I bully girls, I'll let you ......" Before Mu Han finished speaking, he suddenly heard a 'rustle' sound of violently shaking leaves on the trees next to him, and before Mu Han could react, a black shadow jumped down from the tree and rushed towards him.

Almost at the same time, a figure leaped into the air and collided with the black shadow.

Luo Xiaoxue seemed to know in advance, and jumped up the moment the black shadow pounced, and kicked heavily at the black shadow with her right foot. Luo Xiaoxue was not as delicate as she looked at at all, this kick directly kicked the black shadow from the air and trampled the black shadow under her feet, and then Luo Xiaoxue took out two blue pistols from the holster hidden under her skirt and tied to her thigh, and pointed them at the black shadow.

All this was just an instant, and it wasn't until Luo Xiaoxue subdued the black shadow that Mu Han realized that it was an adult black moonspotted leopard that was about to sneak attack him.

"What did you say you were going to do with me?" Luo Xiaoxue pointed a gun at Mu Han, and her eyes were full of anticipation and excitement when she looked at Mu Han......

Looking at the moonspotted leopard that was trampled by Luo Xiaoxue and dying, and the pistol with a cold muzzle pointing at him, Mu Han only felt that the cold hairs on his body stood up, he swallowed and spat hard, and did the most important thing at this time - take three steps back and bow 90° to Luo Xiaoxue......

"I'm sorry, Sister Xiaoxue! It's me who is naïve. ”

"Your face is changing too fast...... Qi Yue on the side looked at Mu Han and smiled helplessly.

On the road after that, Mu Han was very interested and didn't talk to Luo Xiaoxue anymore, and honestly led the way in front, except for stopping at noon to eat something and rest for a while, until the sun went down, Mu Han and the three didn't stop. It's basically the depths of the forest, and it's close to the place where I met Swift Red before.

"Wouldn't it be a problem to make a fire deep in the forest?" After laboriously setting up the two tents, looking at the two people who had already made a fire and roasted food, Mu Han couldn't help but ask with some concern, after all, some fierce beasts and even demon beasts like fire.

"Don't worry, Hanhan, no matter what monsters we encounter before we meet Xunhong, Xuexue and I will solve them." Qi Yue smiled and said, "Oh, why are you sweating so much, come over and eat something and rest." ”

"Why am I sweating so much, don't you know in your heart?" Mu Han glanced at Qi Yue. Listening to Qi Yue's words, Mu Han didn't worry about anything, he was too tired to walk for a day with two tents on his back, so he sat down by the fire and took the food handed over by Qi Yue and devoured it.

"I said, Sister Xiaoxue, the lattice forest is very big, how are you going to find that Xunhong?" Mu Han asked with something in his mouth a little indistinct, which was what he had always wanted to know.

"Relying on my heart, this is my inspiration," Luo Xiaoxue said, "The range of 800 meters around me is under my perception, Grandpa Mu has made a mark on that Xunhong body before, I can sense it." ”

"It's really inspiring!" Mu Han couldn't help but be a little excited, because before this he had always thought that it was the old people in the town who were lying to the children. "Then Sister Xiaoxue, do you still have the ability to read minds?"

"yes, you don't look stupid." Luo Xiaoxue said, "However, the ability to read minds is only useful for people who are weaker than me, such as you, I can't read Qi Yue's thoughts." ”

"Spirit...... And what is it? Mu Han was a little embarrassed.

"You don't really know anything, do you?" Luo Xiaoxue looked at Mu Han with a surprised expression, as if she was looking at a person who didn't even know the common sense of the sun rising in the east and setting in the west.

"I haven't left Grid Town since I was a child, and the stinky old man only taught me to collect and dispense medicines, how much can I understand just by listening to what the old people in the town say." Muhan explained.

"Okay, you can understand the spirit as an energy that exists in our body, not only people, such as flowers, birds, fish and insects, as long as there is life, there will be a spirit, this is innate, but most people can't feel its existence, let alone use it." Luo Xiaoxue said, "The so-called inspiration is actually an external manifestation of the spirit, but the absence of awakening inspiration does not mean that the spirit is not strong, it can only mean bad luck, to put it bluntly, inspiration is only an auxiliary ability derived from the spirit of a few lucky people, of course, if you can awaken a very good inspiration, you can also take advantage of it in battle." ”

Mu Han suddenly quieted down, just looking at Luo Xiaoxue while munching on something.

"Why don't you speak?" Luo Xiaoxue asked a little puzzled.

"Don't you know how to read minds, then you can answer me directly, it's so tiring to talk while eating." Mu Han said seriously.

"Get out! Do you think it's easy to use inspiration all the time? Luo Xiaoxue really wanted to slap the stupid guy in front of her to death.

"Okay, okay, so how can you feel the spirit? And how to make the spirit stronger? Mu Han could only continue to ask.

"Feeling the spirit can only rely on talent, and it takes hard work to make the spirit stronger, as long as you become stronger, the spirit will naturally be strong." Luo Xiaoxue replied angrily.

After listening to these things that he had never understood before, Mu Han suddenly thought that the breathing sound that he could often hear at night could be related to the spirit? But if you think about it carefully, since the spirit is just a stream of energy, can the energy still breathe? So Mu Han could only shake his head and stop thinking. Seeing Qi Yue, who had been concentrating on the food in his hand without saying a word, his curiosity was aroused for a while, and he couldn't help asking, "Qi Yue, have you awakened your inspiration, what is it?" ”

"My inspiration?" Qi Yue raised her head and said with a serious face, "My inspiration is that I am so beautiful that even the demon beast species can't bear to hurt me. ”

"Please stay away, thank you."

"If that Swift Red is dead, then I don't have to take the assessment?" Mu Han grinned and asked, he had already begun to curse the fast red.

"Then I'll help you find another one with a quick red." Luo Xiaoxue said.

"Well, if only I could have your inspiration, not only to know what others are thinking, but also to anticipate danger." Mu Han said with envy on his face.

"Don't think about it, there can't be two people in this world who have the same inspiration at the same time, only when the person with a certain inspiration dies, will the next person who awakens this inspiration appear." Luo Xiaoxue said.

"Since inspiration really exists, does the alien body also exist, I heard the old man in the town say that the alien body is a man-eating demon."

"You should hope that there are no aliens, or pray that you will never encounter them in your life."

“......”

After eating, the three of them chatted for a while, Luo Xiaoxue and Qi Yue got into their respective tents, Mu Han thought that he was going to keep vigil tonight, but Luo Xiaoxue said that it would be good to leave the vigil to her and Qi Yue, of course, she obviously did not take care of Mu Han, but distrusted him 100%. But Mu Han doesn't care about this, anyway, he doesn't have to keep a vigil. After sprinkling the insect repellent powder around and extinguishing the fire, Mu Han also got into his sleeping bag.

Maybe because he was too tired, Mu Han fell asleep quickly, fortunately he didn't hear the strange breathing sound tonight and didn't dream about the man who was wrapped in black mist like a god of death, Mu Han slept very comfortably.

However, this comfort did not last all night, and Mu Han was finally dragged out of his sleeping bag by Qi Yue in the middle of the night.

"Ah, it's dawn? The sun is so dark today. Mu Han said half-asleep.

"Shine what, your prey has arrived." Qi Yue said with a wicked smile.

"My prey?" Mu Han rubbed his eyes, a little puzzled, and then seemed to think of something, his eyes widened in an instant, and he looked at Qi Yue with a look of disbelief, and even his voice began to tremble, "Xun, Xunhong?!" ”

Qi Yue smiled and nodded.

"Holy!" Seeing Qi Yue nodding, Mu Han quickly ran back.

"You don't want to run now, do you?"

"Run a fart, you have to let the master put on his clothes, you can't wear underwear to fight that beast, if you die, you will not only lose your life but also lose your face." Mu Han said angrily. Hearing this, Qi Yue realized that Mu Han had really taken off only a pair of underwear, and he didn't notice that he was trying to trick him just now. And Luo Xiaoxue, who was paying attention to the surrounding situation with her heart, was also stunned for a moment when she heard it, and when she turned around, she saw Mu Han who was in a hurry to get dressed, her pretty face was slightly red, and she hurriedly turned her head back.

"Get some sleep, why are you so naked?" Qi Yue said.

"Big brother, it's summer, summer!" Mu Han emphasized.

"It's coming in our direction, and it's still four hundred meters." Luo Xiaoxue reminded, then turned around and waved at Mu Han, "Good luck." After saying that, he jumped to the big tree beside him, and then disappeared. Come on, cold. Qi Yue also waved her hand at Mu Han, and also jumped to the tree and disappeared.

"I'll go, you two slipped away too fast." Looking at the direction in which Qi Yue and Luo Xiaoxue disappeared, Mu Han's hands holding the shield and sword became tighter and tighter, he was a little skeptical now, was it really reliable to hand over his life to them?

Four hundred meters is actually a very short distance for Xun Hong, it takes less than ten seconds to cross this distance, but for Mu Han, he must make a choice within ten seconds: fight with his sword or abandon his sword and escape.

"Damn, it's been more than ten years, I'll take a gamble this time!"

Mu Han held his sword, and pointed at the demon beast species that had come to him - Xun Hong!

"Come on, brute, let's settle the account from half a month ago!"
