Volume 1 There Are Fish in the North Chapter 36 The Team of Monster Hunters
Listening to this man's vague words, Ye Qiu even felt that his words were full of greasy taste, and he frowned and asked, "Monsters, aren't there no monsters in this world?"
The man said so quickly that he simply put the meat in his hand on the snow, poured a big sip of wine, swallowed the meat in his mouth, and said with a strong sense of wine: "Who said that in addition to demons in this world, there are ghosts, you don't know, I saw it when I was a child." ”
Except for Ye Qiu, everyone present knew what his character was, and they all sneered, and the man on Ye Qiu's right said with a smile: "Little brother, don't listen to his nonsense, as long as you meet a stranger, you have to fiddle with his gods, don't you know, his ancestors did this,"
Ye Qiu was stunned and nodded with a smile.
The man continued: "I heard that it is not a monster that came out to make trouble this time, but a spirit beast, and with the knowledge of the little brother, he should also know what the spirit beast is. ”
Ye Qiu nodded.
The man said: "But this spirit beast is terrible, I heard that there is already a spiritual wisdom, the team that has entered the mountain in the past few days is not fifty or forty, but they have not been able to come back, and they can't come back if they want to." ”
Ye Qiu was puzzled: "Then you are still going?"
The man sighed, "There's no way, it's the public's meal, so naturally you have to work hard for the public, besides, this bounty is a lot." ”
A lot, how much, he didn't say, if it weren't for Ye Qiuwen's weakness and lack of threat, I'm afraid he wouldn't even mention the bounty.
Ye Qiu smiled and said, "I don't know if I can go with you, after all, it's not safe to be alone in this big mountain." ”
When they heard this, they all frowned.
Ye Qiu hurriedly said: "I can give money, in case I really encounter a beast in the mountains, I will run away by myself, and I will never trouble you to protect me." ”
Everyone hesitated, and a man who was obviously taking the lead smiled: "Look at what the little brother said, if you really meet a beast, we won't leave you alone, since the encounter is fate, the little brother can follow us with peace of mind. ”
Ye Qiu got up and hugged his fists and said, "Thank you, big brother." ”
The man nodded, and then announced, "Put out the fire and go into the mountain." ”
Everyone quickly got up, sorted out their belongings, and then grabbed the snow and covered the fire, and it didn't take long to completely extinguish the huge fire, leaving only wisps of green smoke rising and dissipating.
The snow is cold and clean again.
It is always better to walk in a group than to walk alone, especially in such a big mountain, on such a snowy night, if nothing else, this person is much warmer.
Ye Qiu soon became acquainted with these people, the black-faced strong man who took the lead was named Wu Dacheng, who was a catcher in the county government, and the remaining seven men were also capable men under him.
This group of people has never practiced, but there are also some simple fighting kung fu body, if you meet a tiger or a jackal or something, it will not be dead, of course, if you don't have some ability, these people will not dare to enter this mountain.
And Ye Qiu became a son of a traveling family who went out in Snow Moon City, which meant that there was nothing but money.
This group of people didn't have any idea of killing people and stealing goods, nor did they delve into Ye Qiu's identity.
As he continued to go deeper, Ye Qiu found that the more he went into the mountains, the more lively he became.
It turned out that they were not the only ones who caught demons, and along the way, Ye Qiu and his party encountered seven or eight teams, some in groups of three or two, some acting alone, and of course, there were more than a dozen people like them......
And these teams obviously don't know each other, so they don't greet each other politely, you go yours, I go mine.
What surprised Ye Qiu was that the few people he met during the period were obviously spiritual scholars, and their cultivation was not low, and some were even higher than themselves.
Although Ye Qiu didn't know how much the so-called bounty was, it wouldn't be too much, so that it wouldn't tempt the spirits, so the appearance of these spirits would have to make Ye Qiu reconsider the so-called "monsters".
After missing another team, Ye Qiu asked, "Why are there so many people who hunt demons?"
Wu Dacheng said with a smile: "In addition to this county, several surrounding counties have also issued reward orders, so this is not surprising. ”
Ye Qiu was puzzled: "This 'monster' has actually harmed so many county seats?"
A Chinese character interjected: "Who said no, in the past six months, no nearby county seat has been peaceful, and some counties have even paid a lot of money, and even mercenaries have been invited." ”
Mercenary?
This word, Ye Qiu has either heard it for the first time, or he has never seen it.
It is rumored that this kind of force specializes in collecting money, and then doing things for others, killing people and setting fires, robbing homes and houses, as long as they give money, they will do anything.
Of course, the price is different depending on what you do.
So now it seems that those teams that hide the spirits should be mercenaries.
If Ye Qiu was helplessly pushed into the mountain by the old man, then now, he really has some interest in the so-called "monster".
Ye Qiu asked another question, "So many people are here for the bounty, there may be many bounties, but there is only one goal, will there be a big fight because of this when the time comes?"
This is an important question.
But Wu Dacheng just smiled and said: "If someone can really kill that 'monster', it's good if we have the life to go back and pay the errand, whether we can take the bounty or not, I really haven't thought about it." ”
Ye Qiu nodded, feeling that this group of people was actually quite interesting.
And at this moment, there was a sudden movement in the forest in front of him, Wu Dacheng, who was walking in the front, paused, and everyone behind him also stopped.
Wu Dacheng pressed the handle of the knife on his waist with his right hand, raised his left hand, and then stretched out two fingers and shook it gently.
The last two men stepped forward slowly, and then slowly drew the knife from their waists.
The snow-white knife shone silver under the reflection of the snow-white snow.
Wu Dacheng's raised left hand turned into a finger again, first to the left, and then to the right.
With the wave of his fingers, two more men walked out of the group, groping their way forward left and right, and at the same time drew their own knives.
Wu Dacheng's fingers turned into two again, but before he could wave it, there was an angry roar in the dense forest, and then a black shadow rushed towards everyone, the speed was as fast as lightning.
Wu Dacheng shouted: "Ignition!"
I didn't see any movement from the three men behind him, and the torches sounded in their hands, which instantly illuminated the surroundings.
At this time, Ye Qiu saw that it was a colorful tiger that rushed out, perhaps because he was afraid of torches, so he did not pounce on everyone, but moved slowly in the snow, but his eyes were staring at Wu Dacheng.
Wu Dacheng's face was heavy, and he said in a deep voice: "Take the arrow." ”
As he spoke, he first took off the iron bow behind his back, pulled the bow and arrows, and the rest of the people were the same, and in an instant, the eight iron bows were full, and then shot directly at the colorful tiger.
Looking at this cooperation, Ye Qiu was a little shocked in his heart, if it wasn't for the accumulation of a long time, it would be difficult to achieve such a tacit understanding.
Ye Qiu stood in place, and he didn't mean to make a move.
The slow-moving tiger suddenly roared, and it catapulted, dodging all the arrows, and lunging towards the man on the far left.
Seeing the tiger pounce on him, the man did not have a trace of panic, abandoned his bow and held the knife, and directly slashed at the tiger's head.
At the same time, the rest of the people also abandoned the iron bow in their hands, and all drew their swords and rushed towards the tiger.
After a fierce siege, everyone broke three long knives, and even two were wounded, before the tiger was killed in the snow.
The movement quickly attracted the people around them, and for a while the whole snow field was full of people, and when people saw that it was only a tiger that they had killed, and not a "monster", they didn't say anything, but left one after another.
"Yo, isn't this Wu Da catching fast?" suddenly sounded a person's voice in the crowd.
Then a group of men came over, and the first one was extremely thin, but relatively richly dressed, and looked to be twenty-three or fourteen years old.
Behind this young man, followed by a middle-aged man, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, looking forward to it, not angry but threatening, but at this moment his eyes were full of disdain and indifference.
And Ye Qiu's eyes stared directly at this middle-aged man, Ye Qiu could feel the faint aura on his body, at least above the spirit master, this was the strongest person he had met since he entered the mountain.
When Wu Dacheng saw this young man, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the rest of the people also had this expression.
The young man smiled and said: "Wu Dayu is really a noble person who forgets things, he only ruined the good deeds of Young Master Ben a few days ago, and he forgot about Young Master Ben so quickly? ”
After saying this, his face turned cold, and he said coldly: "Kill them all for me." ”
The people behind him, except for the middle-aged man, all rushed up with a sinister smile and surrounded Ye Qiu and the five others.
Wu Dacheng looked solemn and said to the young man: "This Ye Gongzi is just on the same road with us, please let him go." ”
Ye Qiu was stunned, and felt a little more grateful to Wu Dacheng, if a person can still think of others when facing a crisis, then this person's heart is not too bad.
The young man sneered: "It doesn't matter if you say it's okay, besides, even if he really has nothing to do with you, you can only blame him for standing among you and complaining about others." ”
He was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "Kill them all, and leave no one." ”
Wu Dacheng said bitterly: "Ye Gongzi, I'm sorry, I didn't expect to affect you." ”
Ye Qiu smiled helplessly, "It's okay, Brother Wu's personality is really admirable, as long as I am here today, no one can kill you." ”
At this moment, he could no longer pretend that he couldn't see anything, there were many spiritual monks among these people, and even if Wu Dacheng and the others were not injured, they were not the opponents of these people.
Since these people even wanted to kill him, then he didn't need to reason with these people anymore.
The eight people all looked at Ye Qiu, their hearts were full of doubts, but soon they all just felt that Ye Qiu was pretending to be calm and wanted to scare the other party, because they were all very clear about the other party's origin.
Although they have never cultivated, they have never eaten pork, and they have never seen a pig run? These people are all real spiritual warriors, and that middle-aged man is even more of a spiritual master, can Ye Qiu deal with so many people?
They didn't think that Ye Qiu was a Spirit Sect powerhouse, how could there be such a young Spirit Sect powerhouse in this world.
But soon, everyone was stunned, even the middle-aged man was startled, and the young man turned pale with fright.
Because the group of people surrounding Ye Qiujiu suddenly fell into the snow, and the blood was constantly staining red and white.
The eyes of these people were completely unanimous, full of disbelief and only disbelief.
They don't even know how they died when they died.
In Ye Qiu's hand, a dark blue knife was spinning slowly, and the purple light lingering on it, it looked particularly beautiful in this snowy night.
He walked up to the pale-faced young man step by step, and asked with a smile, "You want to kill me?"
