A blue-black plain, looking at the horizon that blends with the blue sky and white clouds, the summer wind blowing away arrogantly stirs up the long reed vegetation.

The black reed powder wafted through the air, blowing like a black wind, hence the name Black Wind Plains.

Chen Zhe stepped on this wilderness, sniffing the fresh, damp smell of earth.

He remembered that he hadn't been to this place for a long time.

At the other end of the plain, leading to a forgotten inland sea, he loved organizing outings at school as a child. There was a grapevine that the government was going to vigorously build tourism in the inland sea, which attracted many people to invest in the surrounding area, and after it was confirmed that it was a rumor, the Black Wind Plain was completely cooled aside.

I didn't think that in this world, the Black Wind Plains was completely reduced to the territory of suburban monsters.

"Wild monsters from level 6 to level 9 are infested, aren't you afraid?" Chen Zhe glanced at Xue Dingkai, who had parked the car and walked over.

"Isn't there Ah Zhe you? ”

Xue Dingkai rolled up his sleeves as he spoke, squeezed his biceps, and nodded his head in a daze: "And after these days of hard cultivation, I have been promoted to level 4." ”

Hearing this, Chen Zhe had a little more focus in his heart.

This kid is really not bad.

If it weren't for the adventure in the Black Tide Forbidden Land, he might not have upgraded faster than Xue Dingkai.

"Wait, I'll go get the guy. ”

Xue Dingkai said and opened the trunk of the car again, took a sword from it, and took out some strange things.

"Wild boar clips?" Chen Zhe saw an iron clip.

"Yes. ”

Xue Dingkai carefully put away a baggage, and the two set off forward, and as he walked, he explained: "It's really not okay without you this time." I didn't come to the Black Wind Plains to farm monsters and get merit points, but to catch a pet beast. ”

The merit value sounds very familiar, Chen Zhe still remembers seeing it in the "Encyclopedia of Monsters" not long ago, and it happened that he carried it with him.

Flipping through it, he quickly figured it out.

As long as you kill a magic monster, it will leave a kill record in the martial arts attribute box and generate the corresponding merit value. These merit points are rewarded by the state for warriors, and can be exchanged for use at the Warrior Guild, which can not only be used as magic energy pulses to increase the gas storage value, but also for equipment and other items.

"I'm boasting that in two days at most, I'll take the baby mink with the pink fur back to her. ”

Chen Zhe closed the book and found that Xue Dingkai didn't pay attention to what he said, only heard the last two sentences.

Well, it turned out that I wanted to catch a mink and send it to a girl.

"Do you have an idea? I point to the route. Chen Zhe asked.

Xue Dingkai's teeth flashed in the sun: "Yes, of course, I have a very strong intuition over there." ”

Following the direction he pointed, Chen Zhe saw a dense vegetation shrub in the distance.

Half an hour later.

"Why did you grab that tail?"

"Uh... My instinct just told me I should do it. ”

"Didn't your instincts tell you that it was the sideburns tail of a porcupine?"

"Howl, howl!"

The two men fled from the bushes in a panic with their heads covered with dead vines, and a violent boar cry sounded, and the bushes shook violently, and a porcupine with a head large enough to block half of the sun jumped out.

"Drop, an infected red-tailed porcupine, level 8, a power-type monster with fangs that have unusually high penetration. Xue Dingkai took out the illustrated instrument and pressed it backwards as he ran, which he specially brought.

Chen Zhe turned around and shot out a butterfly tie, tying the porcupine's forelimbs and hind hooves to the middle, causing the porcupine to fall heavily and gnaw a gully on the grass.

With an angry scream, the porcupine rolled on the spot and collided, Chen Zhe's palm ached, and he felt the tactile sensation of breaking.

Chen Zhe fixed his eyes.

Sure enough, the butterfly was broken!

"Look at my new move, Level 3 Skill - Half Moon Silver Arc!" While the wild boar hadn't gotten up yet, the magic energy in Xue Dingkai's hand shone brightly, and the long sword was covered with a layer of silver moon-like brilliance.

Bang!

A sword slashed at the porcupine's head, the tough thick skin knocked out the stump, and the blood splattered, but it was the porcupine's fangs that arched, and the sword in Xue Dingkai's hand was removed.

Xue Dingkai let out a painful sound, his right hand was fractured, and his eyes were dark, only to see that the porcupine turned around and supported the ground with its front hooves, and the two hooves at the back tail kicked over.

Two yellow bindings wrapped around his hind hooves, and Chen Zhe shouted, "Run!"

One second.

In just one second, Xue Dingkai had just run out of a safe distance, and Chen Zhe's butterfly binding was broken. The butterfly binding, which even a level 11 martial artist couldn't break free, was easily broken by this level 8 demonic beast.

The two did not dare to fight to the death with the porcupine anymore and climbed a tree that was only six meters high.

The porcupine hit his head in a frenzy, and the two of them screamed, and fell to a small stream with a broken tree trunk, and fell dizzy.

One fell to the left, the other to the right, the porcupine glared left and right, and ran towards Chen Zhe, who it felt was the best bully.

"Black flash, black flash, black flash!" Chen Zhe stood up, raised the ring and used the black flash three times in a row, causing the porcupine to hit the air three times.

The porcupine pouted its head, ignoring the blood flow on the top of its head, and ran towards Xue Dingkai, who had just picked up the sword on the other side.

"Damn, you're still here!"

Xue Dingkai's face was full of decay, feeling that the power in his body had no confidence to defeat at all, and he heard Chen Zhe's shouting and asked him to hold on for 20 seconds.

"20 seconds, I can hold on for two seconds at most!" As soon as Xue Dingkai finished speaking, the porcupine rushed to him, his bloodshot eyes full of vicious gaze.

"Uh, can I give you the money?"

"Howl howl!"

“.......................”

In the empty plains, panting young men and red-tailed porcupines sweat to their heart's content, staging a wonderful scene of man-pig fighting.

Xue Dingkai feels that twenty seconds in his life is particularly long.

He was so tired that he couldn't lift his sword, and the last bit of magic energy in his body was all applied to the sword, shining silver, and he leaned to the side in the confrontation with the porcupine, and deceived the stubborn monster into the air again.

Somewhat like a bullfight, this silly pig likes to bite at something shiny with silver.

Xue Dingkai was secretly glad in his heart, if he hadn't caught this skill, he was afraid that he would have died more than ten times.

However, he had exhausted the last bit of magical energy.

Looking at the roaring porcupine, it turned its head and rushed towards him, it, it shed so much blood, how could it not die?

"Ah Zhe, Ah Zhe!" Xue Dingkai clutched his forehead in pain after running out of magic energy, and shouted anxiously.

"Black Flash!"

At this time, Chen Zhe came to Xue Dingkai's side from a few meters away with a black flash, and as soon as he stood firm, he drove the butterfly in his hand to wrap around the porcupine's head.

"Deceitful, broken!"

Chen Zhe swiped his index finger in front of his lips, and the magic power exploded at the bloody wound on the porcupine's head, and the sound was like fireworks, and the blood splashed Xue Dingkai's stupid face.

"Ding, the butterfly binding is fully released, the proficiency is increased by 3 points (the run-in degree exceeds 90%, and the effect is increased by 3 times), and the existing proficiency is 126 points. ”

"Ding, open the hunting interface,"

"Ding, congratulations on successfully killing a level 8 red-tailed porcupine in the suburbs and gaining 5 merit points. ”

Chen Zhe wiped the brown blood stains that had been splashed on the corners of his clothes, and his mind entered his mind, only to see a new interface called hunting appeared in the attribute box.

[Hunting Title: None.]

Number of hunts: 1

Accumulated Merit Points: 5

Hunter Team: None

Current hunting ground: Infected wild monster area, No. 1135, Camp 302, District G, Longcheng City, Tianlan Province

Nearby Monster Level: Unable to count if you haven't learned the Detection Skill

Number of nearby monsters: Detection skills have not been learned, so they cannot be counted

Elite Monster Situation: No Detection Skills Learned, Can't Be Counted]

Chen Zhe took a general look, it was quite magical, and his cognition of this world was a little more solemn. After coming back to his senses and patting Xue Ding, who was in a daze at the porcupine corpse, Chen Zhe asked, "How is it, do you want to continue?"

"I feel like I should be able to trust my instincts one more time. ”

Xue Dingkai swallowed his saliva and pointed to a bamboo forest farther away: "I heard that minks like to climb trees, I don't say that they are definitely there, but there is a chance that they will be encountered." ”

Chen Zhe didn't object, drank water and rested for a while, waiting for the two of them to recover their demonic abilities before going.

"Here's to you. ”

Xue Dingkai used his sword to pick out an orange citrine from the porcupine's shattered skull and threw it over.

Chen Zhe caught it, his palms sank, and it was quite weighty.

"This is also a magic core?" Chen Zhe looked at the spar with a lot of blood, which was not as pure as the green magic core of the magic energy creature.

"Yes. ”

Xue Dingkai said: "It's not right. ”

Chen Zhe smiled.

Xue Dingkai continued: "Officially, it doesn't call it the Demon Core, it has a very serious name called the Contaminated Monster Crystal Source. It's just that the chaebols don't care about it, they still use it to make magic potions and sell them to warriors who can't even notice it even if they drink it. ”

"So what's the difference between the magic potions made by the two magic cores? Chen Zhe asked.

"It doesn't make a difference in the short term. Xue Dingkai didn't seem to know very much, and he kept frowning and thinking about something when he spoke, and said after a while: "When I was a child, I saw an uncle in my family drink too much of that kind of potion, and then something happened when he was upgraded, and the demonic power in his body was messed up, and hard objects like fish scales and antlers grew on his body. ”

"And this kind of thing? What happened later?" Chen Zhe said.

"Later, I don't know, a group of mysterious people came from the city and took Uncle away, and I haven't seen him since. That's why my dad doesn't even let me drink magic potions, and even if I use them, it's some genuine products left over from before. Xue Dingkai said, and muttered at the end: "If I let go of my hand and drink the magic energy potion, how can I definitely be one level or two higher." ”

Chen Zhe stopped talking, he was drinking the cheap super magic water from the Demon Energy Club.

Hell knows if it's the real thing.

"So farming monsters in the suburbs is still the choice of many martial artists, and you can enjoy the magic energy pulse when you get merit points, which is not only better than drinking ordinary magic energy potions, but also doesn't cost money. Xue Dingkai preached again.

"Is the effect of the magic pulse better than the potion? Chen Zhe repeated it, and a strong interest rose in his heart, thinking that he would have time to go to the Martial Arts Guild to find out.

The two were chatting about this, when suddenly a shout came from the front, and a large caravan still using ancient carriages to expand goods attracted the attention of the two.

"Say what, Ah Zhe, you see, that's what I'm talking about smuggling chaebol caravans. Xue Dingkai said.

"I was almost cheated by you again, but fortunately, someone went to the bamboo forest before us. ”

In the sight of the two, a caravan of about a dozen people was passing through from the other end of the bamboo forest. There were constant panicked screams, there were bursts of fighting, and soon more and more people and goods were gone, and they fled one after another.

"Snakes, there are infected giant snakes!"
