Chapter Twenty-Three: Spirit Hunters
At the west gate of Donghua City, it is a lively day for people to come and go, the pentagonal spirit maple trees on both sides of the road, with the autumn wind and red leaves, fall down, and the open space at the city gate is full of red pentagonal maple leaves.
Elder Wang, the leader of the escort team at the gate of the West City, looked at the crowd coming and going with some idleness, and the signature spirit beast of the City Lord's Mansion lying at his feet, the Frost Wolf, was boredly sweeping the fallen leaves all over the ground with his white tail.
"Let's go, next."
The guards at the gate checked the crowd coming and going, and after a while, they lined up to Lu Ke.
"What about identity tokens? Take it out. ”
Hearing this, Lu Ke took out the identity token engraved with the Lu clan from his bosom and handed it to the city gate guards to check.
"The Lu clan? Let's go, next. ”
The guard took the token and inspected it, then handed it back to Lu Ke, waved him and let him go out of the city.
Looking at the back of a young man dressed in psychic clothes and fluttering in white, a pair of eyes hidden in the shadows at the city gate flashed with a different color.
"That young man's name is Lu Ke?"
……
The Blue Mist Mountains are still so quiet and mysterious, and the blue mist still hasn't subsided when the sun is shining, floating leisurely over the entire mountain range.
Before Lu Ke entered the Blue Mist Mountains this time, he deliberately inquired about the route from the family library, and chose another direction that was different from the last time to explore, all the way to the dense forest and the infestation of spirit beasts, the scenery was very beautiful.
The most important thing is that according to the travel notes of the elders in the family library, the common spiritual material required for the cultivation of several spirit soldiers in the "Psychic Master Spirit Soldier Cultivation" - Blue Gold Spirit Flower has been found along this route.
Previously, when he was at the spiritual exchange office in the clan, the blue gold spirit flower did not have much inventory, and he was not able to obtain a particularly large number of such elixirs that were very important for the cultivation of spirit soldiers. Therefore, the first goal of this exploration into the Blue Mist Mountain Range was set in this direction, hoping to find a few Blue Gold Spirit Flowers, or other precious spiritual materials to make up for his shriveled wallet.
Fortunately, most of the day's spiritual object collection trip today, the main target's blue gold spirit flower was not touched, and some of the other spiritual herbs released by the spiritual object exchange office in the clan have collected several kinds of spiritual herbs, and they are not exchanged for contribution points when they turn back and bring them back to the spiritual object exchange office, but they can also be exchanged for a spirit stone, and the first day of entering the Blue Mist Mountain Range is a good harvest, giving themselves a good start to this outing experience.
Seeing that it was getting late, Lu Ke hurriedly found a clearing not far from the mountain stream and prepared to settle down. Take out a backpack containing a folding tent from the space spirit ring, and summon the fire monkey and the soul mouse Po to set up camp together.
When the night was hazy, the moon hung a little over the treetops, and a lump of wood was collected and piled up in front of the improvised tent.
"Bao, I'm back, I'm ready to come out for dinner."
Lu Ke carried a few clear water grass carp caught from the stream not far away, followed by the fierce fire monkey, and before he got close to the temporary camp, he began to call the spirit mouse to come out of the hidden underground.
"Bao, Bao?" Lu Ke's face was a little serious, he had ordered the spirit rat to hide in the underground of the camp before going out to collect food just now, and not to come out once he found danger.
After a few sounds, Ah Bao didn't get out of the ground, and the spiritual mark in his body also responded to strong spiritual power fluctuations, indicating that Ah Bao was in the nearby underground.
So......
"Fire Monkey, be on alert!"
Lu Ke put down the few big fish in his hand that served as his dinner, and silently mobilized his spiritual power to perform a few spiritual tricks on himself and the fierce fire monkey next to him.
Breeze Possession – Initially improves the flexibility and speed of the body.
Tuyuan Talisman - Initially increases one's strength and defense.
The hidden in the shadows saw that the sneak attack was hopeless, and the sneak attack target continued to apply the spirit trick to improve his own state, where could he still lurk with peace of mind.
At the same time, a hawk with cyan feathers swooped down from the sky, and its mouth continuously spat out a narrow wind blade attacking a man and a beast that was ready to deal with the three huge wind attacks.
"Be careful, stay out of the way!"
The sudden attack came in an instant, but fortunately, because of the warning of the spirit mouse, Lu Ke was prepared, and he applied the spirit trick to increase his speed and strength in advance, and he was able to avoid this round of ambushes.
After dodging the three fierce wind sickles in front of them, Lu Ke and the fierce fire monkey were still cut by the continuous wind blades from above, and the hem of the white psychic suit was also cut to tatters.
A masked man in black came out from behind the trees not far away, and a cyan falcon-like spirit beast with a wingspan of more than two meters also hovered above the man in black, staring at Lu Ke tightly with eagle eyes.
"Good job, boy, I didn't expect that at a young age, the experience of survival in the wild is okay, and I even know how to leave a secret whistle."
"I thought I could subdue you directly, but it seems that it will take some effort." The man in black spoke with a little appreciation, but the words he said made Lu Ke's heart tighten.
"Who are you?" Lu Ke tentatively asked: "This big brother, you see, I am a young man who has just gone out to practice, but I don't remember who I have offended, are you looking for the wrong person?" ”
"Hey, boy, don't fight with me haha, I've let my Qingyu Peregrine Falcon stare at you all the way since you just left Donghua City, how can you find the wrong person?" The man in black put his hands behind his back, glanced up at the green-feathered peregrine falcon in the sky, and said in an affirmative tone.
"If you are honestly tied up, you can suffer less."
"I don't understand, I'm an ordinary young man, where do I use a five-grade mortal-level spirit hunter like you to keep an eye on me?"
Lu Ke looked at the black-clothed man opposite, the spiritual power on his body was cultivated at the five-rank mortal level, and the spirit beast temporarily exposed was also a mid-rank fifth-grade mortal-level Qingyu Peregrine Falcon, with excellent lurking and tracking ability, which was very reminiscent of the group of spirit hunters who searched and tracked spiritual objects in the wild all day long.
But what are the spirit hunters doing after him?
"Lu Ke, your name is Lu Ke, right?" The man in black smiled, "The lucky boy who picked up the green dragon egg in Donghua City some time ago, now do you know why I'm eyeing you?" Acquaintances, things handed over! ”
"This big brother, you are really mistaken, my name is not Lu Ke, my name is Li Bai. You see, it's all a misunderstanding, let's sit down and have a good talk, there is a freshly caught clear water grass carp, I have good skills, I invite you to eat grilled fish! ”
"Enough, in front of the city gate, you obviously took out the identity token of the Lu family, and lied to me that your name is Li Bai? It's not a small amount of courage! ”
As he spoke, the hands of the man in black behind him were pinched into the spirit magic handprint, and another round of three-hit wind scythe was used, and the green feather peregrine falcon also waved its strong wings to send out a gust of strong wind to block the dodge of the landing Ke and the fierce fire monkey.
