Wen Qiang and Da Ming hurriedly walked up and expressed their determination: "Uncle Tie, don't worry! We won't mess around, and we will definitely listen to your arrangements." ”

"Okay!

Here, Su Shi, Qin Ke, Tiegao and the others said hello again, so they all came out in full gear. Although all the horses they rode were left here and taken to a place by Tie Gao, the father of the Iron Ox, they would not be a burden for the monks to walk long distances. After walking for less than half an hour, the nearest pass to Mount Xiya was close at hand.

This is where their Ascending Dragon Empire is stationed here to guard the barracks of the Great Army. It is said that the barracks is actually more like a tax yamen, and there are no more than 1,000 soldiers here in normal times, and its duty is to collect tolls for hunters. In other words, anyone who enters the mountain demon hunter must pay a corresponding fee when entering and exiting the level. Due to its mystery and natural barriers, professional demon hunters from other countries also like to come here to pan for gold, so that more than tens of thousands of people come and go here every day, and the Thang Long Empire is also second to none among all the empires of the ancient continent.

It was early in the morning, but there was already a steady stream of fully dressed hunters on the road, hurrying past them. Judging by their attire and sophistication, most of them are professional demon hunters.

As soon as he arrived at the checkpoint, Su Shi turned to the crowd: "Don't be impatient, go and pay the customs fee for the teacher." After speaking, Su Shi left quickly.

"Senior brother, can you tell me how much customs fees can be collected here every day?" Li Jin asked Wen Qiang, the senior brother beside him, curiously.

"It's my first time here, and I don't know how much I have to pay. Wen Qiang shook his head and said.

"One person has to pay ten gold coins, and when he comes back, he has to pay another twenty gold coins. At this time, Tie Ren, who was familiar with the situation, explained to everyone in a loud voice.

"Ahh

"I'll you! how many gold coins you'll have to collect that day!" said Damien, sticking out his tongue in horror.

For cultivators, source crystals, pills, demon giant beasts, inner pills, immortal grass, etc. are the most important possessions, but for Gu Lu Lisheng, gold coins are the common currency they usually exchange goods, and ordinary people can already solve the problem of food and clothing if they spend three or four gold coins a month. For children like Daming who were not from wealthy families, they were amazed when they heard that they had to make so many friends.

"Hehe, how else would our Thang Long Empire be crowned the richest country in the Ancient Continent?" Tei Ren chuckled.

"Ladies and gentlemen, everyone has to work hard this time to enter the mountain! We must hunt more demons and giant beasts back, otherwise the customs fee for so many of us will be too tricky. Wen Qiang said loudly to the junior disciples behind him.

"Senior brother, don't worry! We will definitely have a bumper harvest this time. "All the juniors and disciples are gearing up at this time, and they can't wait to go into the mountain early.

"Hehehe! Don't worry, although this customs fee is not old or young, but if you want to hunt a colorful fox casually, it is worth about a dozen gold coins! If you want to say that you martial arts monks are all rich people! In the future, if you enter the army and get the source crystal, you can change it casually, and it will be enough for our people to eat and drink spicy food!" Tie Ren sighed with a smile.

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but laugh. All of them nodded, full of gratitude to Heaven for allowing them to become martial arts cultivators.

"Uncle Tie, are there many demons and giant beasts in this mountain?" Qin Jian asked Tie Ren. It is said that he himself is a native of Gute Town, but he was very strictly guarded by his parents when he was a child, and he never had the opportunity to go into the mountains to see it, and he stayed in the martial arts hall for a long time when he grew up, so he didn't know much about this place where he lived since he was a child.

"Of course, there are many, and for some reason, there are so many monks in our human race who come to hunt, but even low-level demon beasts seem to be unable to hunt all the time. Uncle wants to say that he has been a guide in this mountain for more than 20 years, anyway, how many demon monsters there were before, and there are still so many now, you just wait, then it will be enough for you to be busy. It's just a pity that there are fewer fairy grasses in the periphery now, but you can relax, I know that there is one there, and I will take you there then, and you can all pick it, how about it?"

"That's great!" At this time, everyone seemed to have been stimulated, and they couldn't help but ask about the situation of various demon beasts and the place where the fairy grass grows. Before leaving, Su Shi explained to their senior brothers the knowledge of demon monsters and the shape of fairy grass, growth area, medicinal effects, etc., but what they said was extremely written, and they were all fascinated by the personal explanations of old rivers and lakes such as Tieren。。。。。。

"Okay, let's go into the mountain!" Su Shi paid the customs fee and beckoned to this side. When everyone heard this, they woke up and quickly walked towards the pass.

This pass is set up in the only way to rush into the mountain, which can be said to be a one-man pass. It is said that this pass is not the slightest bit of a majestic pass, but it looks like an official yamen, and the city tower is not high, but it is extremely luxurious and luxurious. It is obviously a little out of place in this dangerous place where humans and demons and monsters are facing off. Two rows of soldiers guarded the small city gate, but they were all heavily armed and armored, and their momentum was extraordinary. Everyone hurriedly came to Su Shi at this time.

Su Shi stepped forward and said to a soldier. The soldier stepped forward and counted their numbers, nodded, and then raised his hand to the gatekeeper, and they rushed out one after another. When they were all out of the pass, they looked back at the pass, which was as small as a small mound on the great plain.

Da Ming really couldn't help but ask: "Master, why is there such a small city tower here! What if there are demons and giant beasts coming to invade the realm?" His question was also confused by everyone's hearts, so everyone stopped and waited for Su Shi to answer.

"Yes, it's been a thousand years, and this place has long been a place for the empire to gather wealth, so you can still remember that this is really a dangerous place on the border!" Su Shi sighed lightly.

"Master, hasn't there been a demon beast coming to invade the realm for thousands of years?" Wen Qiang asked.

"Well, speaking of which, this Xiya Mountain Range is really peculiar, since the humans stabilized their own territory not long ago, the demon beasts have never launched any decent attacks on the humans from here, and now they have achieved the growth of our empire's financial resources, do you know why our Imperial Martial Arts Hall can only accept some gifts from disciples at most?"

"Master, what do you say?" all the people asked.

"Hehehe! This is also the greatest benefit that you can be born in our empire, and the other empires don't have the financial resources for you to cultivate in peace. As soon as their students join the martial arts hall, they have to face life and death. Because the martial arts hall must rely on hunting to solve the way of survival, even if there are disciples who join the army after leaving the martial arts hall, the empire will not reward them more than the source crystal, so it is said that only our Shenglong Empire has the most martial arts monks in the ancient land, which is also the greatest favor of the heavens for our Shenglong Empire!"

"I see!" Everyone felt that they were so lucky to be born in the Ascending Dragon Empire at this time!

"Master, does that mean that our Ascending Dragon Empire is the most powerful empire on the ancient land?" everyone asked excitedly.

Su Shi smiled when he heard this: "Not really, as the saying goes, there are advantages and disadvantages." Although we have the largest number of martial arts cultivators in our empire, we can't stand the essence of other countries! You must know that those who have survived the test of life and death for a long time have much stronger combat effectiveness than our imperial martial arts monks, so if we really compete on the battlefield, it is not yet known who will die!"

"Oh!" Everyone was relieved at this time, and couldn't help but feel very worried about their actual combat ability! It seems that this time when they enter the mountain, they have to work hard, lest they become the first fallen cannon fodder on the battlefield in the future, it will be too worthless!

Su Shi looked at the disciples, knowing that what he said had touched them, and he was also very relieved in his heart. Turned around and greeted: "Okay! Now we are about to enter Xiya Mountain, there can be danger in the mountain at any time, Wen Qiang, you and Daming each bring their own teams, and we will enter the mountain." ”

"Yes!"

Wen Qiang beckoned to Qin Jian, Chen Xi and others beside him, and led his team to walk quickly towards the mountain, and Daming and Li Jin led the team to follow quickly.

As soon as they arrived in the mountains, the atmosphere was obviously a little different, at this time they were walking in a canyon, with dangerous peaks on both sides, like knives and axes, and they looked up at each other and reached the sky like a line of sky. The mountain road was even more rugged and difficult, but fortunately, compared to those of them in the martial arts, it was not a difficult task.

Tie Ren was like a spirit monkey leading the way at this time, although he was not a martial artist, but he was even brisker than them when he climbed up the mountain road. In this way, after walking for five or six hours, everyone finally walked out of the line of heaven in front of them, and when they turned a mountain col, the front suddenly opened up, and it was said that it was open, but in fact they were looking down from a high place, and the vast mountains in front of them were continuous, and they didn't know where the end was.

Tie Ren turned back to the crowd and said, "Walk down this mountain, in front of you is the first place of your hunt, and then I will lead everyone to the place where you can easily get your prey." ”

Su Shi also walked up at this time and said solemnly: "It's about to be hunting, everyone will follow the master first, and after seeing the real demon beast, then separate two groups of actions, the distance can not exceed two miles, Wen Qiang and Daming, you two must remember." ”

"It's Master!" Wen Qiang and Daming hurriedly agreed. The hunt began immediately, and they were all excited and nervous at this time.

Su Shi took out four spirit runes from his storage bag and handed them to Wen Qiang and Da Ming, and said very solemnly: "This talisman is extremely precious, you two must keep it properly, and you can't use it lightly unless you have to." ”

"Master。。。。。。 Wen Qiang and Da Ming were a little speechless with excitement. Su Shi also counted a lot of blood this time, these spirit runes are all treasures given by the old immortals, each of them is worth a lot of money, if it weren't for the fact that this batch of disciples is his heart, he is really a little reluctant to use it.

The rune is not only powerful, but also extremely simple to use, as long as you know that its method is opened, you can throw it out, and you can automatically lock on to your opponent. Therefore, all martial arts monks can be regarded as afraid and loving of this spirit rune. Wen Qiang and Daming are extremely familiar with ordinary earth symbols, let alone depictions. However, this spirit talisman was only seen for the first time, and they had only heard of its name in the past, but now they held it in their hands, and both of them couldn't help but tremble with excitement. I thought that the two spirit runes mentioned by the little junior brother made the five black-clothed people disappear without a trace, I really don't know how powerful these two in my hand are, and I am secretly grateful to the master in my heart, and my confidence has also increased a little. The two of them hurriedly put the spirit talisman carefully into their storage bag. That look, as if he was afraid of flying. Hehe!

After walking for a short time, Tie Ren had already led everyone into a pine forest, and hurriedly signaled everyone with his hand not to move forward, and whispered to everyone behind him: "This forest is often infested with demons and giant beasts that have been practicing for less than a hundred years, you should be careful." "A hundred years of Taoism is equivalent to the cultivation of the human martial arts period below the level, which can be regarded as a low-level demon beast.

Su Shi walked around at this time and said: "You have first seen how to kill the demon beast as a teacher, and then it is up to you to do it, this time you came out to practice as a teacher in addition to protecting your life and safety, the rest is all up to you, and I will not help you again, understand?"

"Understood!" - all the disciples agreed in unison.

So everyone followed Su Shi slowly into the depths of the forest, and soon after a sudden roar, a looming chubby phantom bear pounced out of the forest. This phantom bear is the most ferocious, not only is it infinitely powerful, but it also has a certain innate magic power, which can produce several virtual images around its body, making it extremely difficult for people to hit its true body. Once a human being lets his giant palm swoop in, and he doesn't have more than seven or eight stages of cultivation in the Dao entry period, he will have to die nine times and live a lifetime.

Su Shi stopped the disciples with his hand backwards, and his own source power immediately erupted, and he quickly jumped up into the air, and slammed into a phantom shadow that the phantom bear had just conjured up.

Only to hear a boom, a huge bear body fell to the ground, the mouth was still spurting blood at this time, Su Shi quickly moved forward and took out a few porcelain bottles from his storage bag, and collected the beast blood that had just been spit out, which is a good material for making earth talismans. He beckoned to the disciple behind him and said, "Come and see, everyone! This phantom bear can conjure up several figures, but only one is its true body, you must keep in mind that the most illusory shadow is its true body." When attacking, you must always be aware of its transfigration. ”

"Yes!" all the disciples were stunned by the attack just now, and when they heard this, they quickly replied yes.

Qin Jian also saw it very real just now, he didn't expect such a powerful phantom bear to be killed by the master at once, and after coming to his senses, he hurriedly ran up and said, "Master! ”

"Uhhh

Everyone was immersed in surprise just now, they didn't expect Qin Jian to ask such a childish question, and they couldn't help but laugh.

"Hehehe, little junior brother, I didn't expect you to be a money junkie!" Daming stepped forward and quipped.

At this time, Tie Ren came up and said, "Such a phantom bear is worth at least twenty gold coins in the bazaar, I'll just say! If you martial arts monks want to make money, it's too easy." ”

"Hahaha! Then we're going to make a fortune. Li Jin laughed.

"Cut! You want to go crazy with money, if you meet a powerful person, I think you still want to make a fortune. Damien interrupted him and reprimanded.

Su Shi nodded and said, "Well, when I came here to train as a teacher, if I hadn't been saved by someone, I would have died here, so everyone must be careful in the future." ”

"Yes——"

Su Shi packed the phantom bear with a storage bag, got up and said, "Next, your soldiers will divide into two ways and go in for actual hunting." Remember that you are mainly to increase your actual combat experience this time, don't rush to get prey and rush in, the division will keep in touch with you at any time, if you encounter an irresistible character, quickly dodge, or use a howling warning sound, I will rescue you in time outside this forest. ”

"It's Master, don't worry!" Wen Qiang finished agreeing to Master, and immediately turned around and shouted to all the junior disciples: "Little junior brother, Chen Xi, Lin Zi, He Ning, you follow me in." Seeing this, Daming hurriedly called his junior disciples to search in one direction。。。。。。
