Lu Yu and Xu Xia, who had always been nervous, reacted the fastest, but Xia Yueming, who was fishing next to him, reacted half a beat slower, and no one thought that the black catfish monster would die in the end.

Lu Yu and Xu Xia were able to dodge the attack of the catfish, but Xia Yueming was not so lucky, the catfish wrapped around Xia Yueming's ankle and was about to drag Xia Yueming into the water.

Xia Yueming let out a loud scream, grabbed the soil on the ground with both hands, and his fingers were buckled into the soil, but Xia Yueming's strength was as strong as the black catfish, and he forced Xia Yueming's fingers to plow two ravines in the soil, and he was about to be dragged into the water by the black catfish.

Xu Xia was not slow to react, and happened to be next to Xia Yueming, grabbed Xia Yueming's hands in a hurry, and dragged them hard to the riverbank.

Lu Yu jumped up from the ground, threw away the bow and arrow in his hand, and took out his long knife and slashed at the catfish, wanting to cut off the catfish to save Xia Yueming.

But Lu Yu sadly found that no matter how many knives he cut, the seemingly incomparably soft catfish whiskers did not move at all, and they were harder than long knives.

Just when Lu Yu wanted to give up the long knife and pull Xia Yueming back with Xu Xia, the black catfish's body twitched violently, and the fishtail slapped desperately on the water, exposing his softest fish belly to the surface.

"Dead!"

The black catfish, which was extremely fierce one moment, surfaced in the next second, and it was a little unreal no matter how you looked at it.

"It should be dead", Xu Xia was also a little scared and said: "The venom on the poison needle can kill the monk at the peak of qi refining, and it is not a problem to deal with the black catfish, but I didn't expect the vitality of the black catfish monster to be so strong, and it almost stumbled." ”

"I'm going to be killed by you this time! Oops, swoop, let'......s see if my ankle is lame. ”

Xia Yueming rubbed one ankle, her face showed a look of pain, and her mouth gasped.

Xu Xia also felt a little sorry for Xia Yueming, and asked the coachman to get the healing medicine while checking Xia Yueming's injuries, but unfortunately Xu Xia and Lu Yu didn't understand, so they had to simply apply some bruise medicine to Xia Yueming, and helped Xia Yueming into the carriage first.

Lu Yu walked in front of the black catfish monster with a long knife, and looked at the black catfish monster's dead eyes, which were about the same size as Lu Yu's head, and there was a bloody human leg in the fish's mouth that was not swallowed, and he was suddenly a little afraid.

But the black catfish is still dead, not killed, but poisoned.

Lu Yu waved his long knife to cut off the two catfish whiskers of the black catfish, and slashed more than a dozen knives, and the palm of the hand holding the knife was a little numb, but Mars saw a lot, and there was not even a knife mark left on the head of the fish.

"If you cut like this, even if you cut it until tomorrow, you may not be able to cut off the catfish!"

Xu Xia's voice came from behind Lu Yu, holding the sword he was wearing, he walked to Lu Yu's side and said: "The long knife in your hand can also cut some of the most ordinary wood, to deal with this kind of monster, you must have a weapon made of meteorite, let me come!" ”

Saying that, Xu Xia slashed a sword on the head of the black catfish monster, leaving a sword mark on the hard fish head, and then swung out several swords in a row, the crack on the fish head became bigger and bigger, Xu Xia directly probed the whole arm out of the crack, groped in the fish head for a while, and then the arm was withdrawn, and a crystal clear gem-like ball the size of a pigeon's egg appeared in the palm of the hand with a fishy smell.

"This is what you call the spirit core?"

"Yes, it's a pity that it's too small and hasn't taken shape yet, so it's hard to sell it for a high price!"

Then Xu Xia used his sword to cut off the black catfish's catfish, and threw it to Lu Yu casually: "I think your archery skills are not bad, these two catfish whiskers can be used to make bowstrings for bows and arrows, you can take them!" ”

Lu Yu knew that in this battle, he seemed to have contributed a lot, but in fact, it was just a harassment, and with the weapon in Lu Yu's hand, the black catfish monster was lying there and did not move, and he might not be able to kill it.

However, after this battle, Lu Yu found that it was indeed impossible to have no weapons on him, so he accepted it without pretension.

"By the way, how much does it cost to make a bow and arrow?"

"Don't think about it for the time being, it's not me who strikes you, if you want a good bow and arrow, you need at least three or four lower-grade spirit stones, this is still because you have the result of a catfish, otherwise you have to add at least one or two lower-grade spirit stones", Xu Xia couldn't help but struck.

Lu Yu had a big '' in his heart, this is not an ordinary expensive, a lower-grade spirit stone is equivalent to about one hundred taels to one hundred and twenty taels of silver, three or four lower-grade spirit stones are three or four hundred taels of silver, what is the concept of three or four hundred taels of silver in Tianlan World, you can buy more than thirty acres of land outside the city, or buy a small courtyard of about two hundred square meters in a small county town, if it is converted to the main world, it is no problem to value two or three million in the main world.

Of course, if you use the price of silver in the Overworld, it's a different story.

Anyway, this money is still quite a lot, in fact, Lu Yu didn't think about buying a weapon for himself before, but ordinary weapons don't look down on him at all.

Because after the opening of the system mall, there are a lot of more goods in it, in addition to the exercises, there are weapons, pills, magic weapons, etc., and the weapon column is divided into swords, guns, sticks, etc., bows and arrows are naturally available, but the cheapest bow and arrow in it also costs 5 skill points, and now Lu Yu only has 1 skill point in his hand, so naturally he can't buy it if he wants to.

But now Lu Yu found that his thinking had fallen into a misunderstanding, the goods in the system mall were naturally good, and there were even medium-grade and above goods, but they were not suitable for his own use now.

In other words, the goods inside have a sense of luxury for Lu Yu's current strength.

Lu Yu, who understood this, thought that he didn't necessarily have to buy the goods in the system mall, at least not now.

Xu Xia found that Lu Yu didn't make a sound, and thought that he had hit Lu Yu, so he hurriedly comforted again: "Actually, it's not difficult to buy a competent bow and arrow, if you can be on the list in the scientific examination and get an official and a half-job, you can buy a good bow and arrow with a month's salary." ”

"Oh! Are officials well paid? ”

"Of course it's very high, otherwise why would there be so many ordinary monks who want to be officials!"

Xu Xia knew that Lu Yu didn't understand many things, especially a monk like Lu Yu who was born from a family background and came out of a remote village, and he could explain it if he didn't understand.

"Generally, low-level officials, in addition to the salary of ten taels of silver per month, can also be allocated three lower-grade spirit stones every month, these spirit stones are the resources given by the imperial court to the cultivation of monks and officials, which is already very good for ordinary monks, and with the higher the official position, the cultivation resources obtained are also more and more, so there will be a large number of monks entering the imperial court."

In a world dominated by cultivation, the conditions for being an official are naturally related to cultivation, the vast majority of officials are monks, and the higher the official position, the higher the corresponding cultivation, once the cultivation stagnates, the channel for rising is basically blocked.

Lu Yu didn't dwell on the matter of weapons, he couldn't look down on ordinary weapons, and he didn't have the money to buy the weapons he liked, so it was useless to think about them now.

Xia Yueming injured her ankle, and the speed of the carriage also sped up a lot, and it took more than two hours to rush to the nearest state city.

Compared with the county seat, the state city is more majestic, from the outside city wall, the city wall of the county town is only three zhang high, and the city wall of the state city reaches five zhang high, the land area and population of the state city are also the county town can not be compared.

After examination, it was found that Xia Yueming's injury was not serious, his ankle bone was cracked, and he was basically able to walk freely after resting for half a month after applying the medicine.

After learning of the condition, Xu Xia breathed a sigh of relief, although Xia Yueming's injury was not caused by Xu Xia, it was related to Xu Xia, if it affected Xia Yueming's scientific research, Xu Xia was not happy.

For this reason, Xu Xia found the Thousand Treasure Pavilion as soon as possible, sold the spirit core that had not yet taken shape in his hand, and gave half of the four low-grade spirit stones he earned to Xia Yueming.

Xia Yueming didn't shirk either, and used twenty taels of silver to buy a lower-grade healing pill in the Thousand Treasure Pavilion, and after taking it, the ankle injury could recover within three days.

"The alchemist really makes money, and I will become an alchemist in the future." Xia Yueming said bitterly for twenty taels of silver.

In the Thousand Treasures Pavilion, Lu Yu also inquired about the cost of making bows and arrows, bows and arrows suitable for qi refining cultivators, the price is more than five lower-grade spirit stones, but Lu Yu already has a catfish whisker for making bowstrings in his hand, and the minimum cost is three lower-grade spirit stones, which is similar to what Xu Xia said.

Xu Xia and Xia Yueming both said that they could lend Lu Yu the three lower grade spirit stones in their hands, but Lu Yu thought about it and refused, firstly, the three of them were not too familiar, and secondly, Lu Yu felt that he could not use weapons for the time being, and he did not want to owe such a big favor.

In addition, Lu Yu also has his own plans, he now has forty taels of gold and more than one hundred taels of silver on his body, as well as nine Qi Nourishing Pills, and he can still afford this money.

Lu Yu just didn't want Xu Xia and the others to know that they were also invisible bigwigs, and low-key was his style, so there was no need to arouse the suspicion of the two.

Because of Xia Yueming's injury, Xu Xia decided to stay in the state city for a few more days, in Lu Yu's opinion, even if Xia Yueming was not injured, Xu Xia would find other excuses to play in the state city for a few more days.

Lu Yu originally wanted to take advantage of this time to return to the main world and dispose of the gold in his hand, but Xu Xia pulled Lu Yu around, and Lu Yu couldn't find a chance to return to the main world.

However, in the past few days, with Xu Xia, in addition to visiting a lot of places of interest, I also met a lot of other students and monks who were also on the road to Beijing for the scientific expedition, and got a lot of information about this scientific expedition from their mouths.
