Chapter Twenty-Three: The Witcher
Another night passed, and the morning sun pierced the clouds and warmly sprinkled on the mountain forest. At this time, Xiaotian and Su Qing also had breakfast early and were ready to go.
After a long talk last night, Xiao Tian has now focused his cultivation on the three spiritual techniques of wind, fire and earth, and has also begun to try to absorb the spiritual energy by himself, although the cultivation speed is very slow if he does this, but the third uncle has told him everything, Xiao Tian does not dare not listen.
The uncle and nephew walked side by side on the path between the mountains and forests, Xiao Tian tilted his head and looked at Su Qing and asked, "Third uncle, what if the aura is sucked away again in the future and becomes less?"
"It's okay, as long as there is still aura, the third uncle can refine the aura pill for you," Su Qing said comforting Xiao Tian.
Hearing Su Qing's words, Xiao Tian nodded reassuringly.
Suddenly, Su Qing made a silent gesture, pointed to the bloodstains under his feet, and then pulled Xiaotian's footsteps to walk slowly in the direction of the bloodstains.
Finally came to a bush, Su Qing looked at the bushes in front of him, and with a wave of his right hand, a gust of wind struck, blowing the bushes crookedly, blowing out a road, and at the end of the road, a man covered in blood was lying there moaning in a low voice. Realizing that he had been discovered, he raised his head weakly and stared at Su Qing and them cautiously.
Su Qing saw the man's injury and shook his head secretly, but he still cast a water spirit technique to relieve his pain.
Seeing this, the man on the opposite side glanced at Su Qing gratefully, and said weakly: "I am a demon hunter from Guyun City, and I coughed cough ,,, half a month ago," the man forcibly suppressed the blood gushing out of his throat and continued: " Our team of five people set out from Guyun City to hunt demonic beasts and earn some money to subsidize the family, but I didn't expect that just yesterday,,, ahem,,, we were targeted by another team of demon hunters, they ,,, their strength is much stronger than ours, and several of our brothers were all killed by them; fortunately, I learned wind spirit arts, so I was able to escape. Thinking of the brother who was killed, his already godless eyes seemed even more dim at this moment.
After hearing this, Su Qing asked vigilantly, "Didn't the demon hunters only allow hunting in winter? This is autumn, how can they come out to hunt?"
"Not long ago, it was said that the elders of the Evil Cloud Sect came to our Ancient Cloud City, and then ,,,, and then within a few days, the city lord issued a decree allowing us to go out and hunt demonic beasts," feeling Su Qing's suspicious gaze, the man quickly explained.
Hearing the words "Evil Cloud Sect", Su Qing and Xiao Tian both had a trace of anger on their faces, this Evil Cloud Sect was one of the sects that attacked the Qingyun Sect seven years ago. So Su Qing temporarily decided to go to Ancient Cloud City to see what the Evil Cloud Sect was going to do.
At this time, the man saw the anger on the faces of the two opposites, and hurriedly said, "I didn't lie to you, what I said was all the truth." ”
Su Qing saw that his face was getting more and more ruddy, and knew that this was a return to the light, and said indifferently: "We didn't suspect you, but we were a little shocked; ”
The man was flattered when he heard this, he also knew that his time was running out, so he hurriedly said: "Thank you cultivator, I have some magic cores here, please send half of them to He Xin's house in Guyun City, and the rest will be used to thank the cultivators, I hope the cultivators are not too few," he said and took out a cloth bag from his body, as well as a sachet, he continued: " By the way, there is also this sachet, which was given to me by my lady who did not pass the door, but now I can't accompany her to the end, I hope ,,,you can help me return it to Liu Yun's home in Guyun City, and let her find another ,,," Before the words were finished, the man tilted his head and fell asleep forever.
Su Qing looked at the scene in front of him, shook his head, stepped forward, took the cloth bag and sachet in the man's hand, sighed, and then used the wind spirit technique to blast out a big pit next to him, put the man in, and put him into the ground.
Xiao Tian looked at the lonely tomb standing quietly by the bushes, and suddenly thought of something, he turned his head, and said to Su Qing next to him: "Third uncle, you wait for me, I'll be back immediately," and ran not far away. On the hillside not far away, the wildflowers are blooming, and Xiaotian is carefully picking the wildflowers.
After a while, Xiao Tian ran back with a bouquet of delicate wildflowers, he carefully placed the flowers in front of the grave, turned his head to Su Qing and explained, "So that he won't be alone." ”
Seeing the flowers swaying slightly in the breeze, Su Qing also happily touched Xiaotian's head and said, "Our Xiaotian is so sensible!" Xiaotian also smiled innocently after hearing this.
"Then Xiaotian, since this has happened, can we go to Guyun City first to find out what the Evil Cloud Sect is going to do, and by the way, help that man fulfill his unfulfilled wish. ”
"Okay, everything is up to the third uncle,"
After hearing Xiao Tian's promise, Su Qing took Xiao Tian's hand and changed the route and walked in the direction of Guyun City.
Xiao Tian walked on the road and asked, "Third Uncle, what is a demon hunter?"
"Demon hunters, as the name suggests, are those who hunt demonic beasts and obtain demon cores, most of them are fourth-level and fifth-level spirit masters, and most of them are monochrome spirit masters. ”
"What is a monochrome spirit master?" Xiao Tian interjected.
"Monochrome spirit master, that is, only one kind of spirit master, because only one color of aura is named; if you know two kinds of spirit, then it is a two-color spirit master; by analogy, three-color spirit master, four-color spirit master, by the way, you are a four-color spirit master; and I, hmph, is only the legendary five-color spirit master, of course, there is another name: "Wizard of the World", these two, you can call me which one you like," After speaking, he looked at Xiao Tian proudly.
Accustomed to seeing Su Qing's smugness, the little genius didn't bother to take care of him.
Seeing that his wonderful speech and demeanor were ignored by Xiao Tian, Su Qing had no choice but to continue to tease: "Do you know why most of the demon hunters are monochrome spirit masters?"
Sure enough, Xiao Tian, who was curious by nature, couldn't bear it anymore for a while, so he had to defeat the battle and said, "Why?"
Seeing that he had won another game, Su Qing said happily: "Because generally speaking, as long as you are a two-color or more spirit master, you can basically break through the barrier of a fifth-level spirit master and reach a sixth-level spirit master or even higher, and as long as you reach a sixth-level spirit master, there will be a sect or a big family to hire you, and then your treatment will be very different from that of a fifth-level spirit master." Therefore, the two-color spirit masters are basically hired by others, and few people come to do this hard-working errand of hunting demonic beasts with little money. ”
Seeing that Xiao Tian heard it so interestingly, Su Qing then said: "And because they are monochrome spirit masters, it is difficult for them to hunt demonic beasts if they go out alone, so at this time, they will generally gather together from various spirit masters to form a team, with a clear division of labor, the wood spirit master is responsible for control, the earth spirit master is responsible for defense, the fire spirit master is responsible for attacking, the wind spirit master is responsible for spying on intelligence and chasing down the fleeing prey, and the water spirit master is responsible for healing." ”
"Then all kinds of spirit masters are complete, isn't it too difficult for them to hunt demonic beasts?"
"Yes, it does become easier to hunt monsters, but the deaths and injuries of witchers are still very serious every year. ”
"Hmm, isn't it difficult to hunt demonic beasts, how can so many people be killed and injured?" Xiao Tian asked puzzled.
At this time, Su Qing stopped, looked at him and said, "Didn't I show off my glorious honor to you yesterday?"
"Do you mean those scars?" Third Uncle," Xiao Tian asked.
"That's an honor," Su Qing said with a smile.
"Okay, honor is honor, I'm too lazy to fight with you, so what's wrong with these honors?"
"Let me tell you, only three of these honors were left to me by demonic beasts, and the rest are all gifts from people, especially the biggest honor," Su Qing said with a wry smile.
"It's the same with these demon hunters, their biggest enemies are not demonic beasts, but those wicked people with hearts like snakes and scorpions, so, Xiaotian, you have to remember that people's hearts are unpredictable," Su Qing paused and said slowly.
Listening to what the third uncle said about "people's hearts are unpredictable", Xiaotian nodded heavily and was taught by his heart.
Seeing that Xiao Tian listened to his words, Su Qing then said: "Let's be careful when we rush these days, maybe there are several teams of demon hunters staying around here, so let's be less troublesome when we can." ”
"By the way, you should also hurry up your cultivation in the past few days, and when the battle really breaks out, you also have to go to the field to help," Su Qing told Xiao Tian and said.
"What? You want me to go up again, I've only fought with the Wind Wolf for three hundred rounds, and my body hasn't recovered yet. ”
"Cut, it's not for you to fight them all, just leave the weakest of them to you, you are so good that you are also a fifth-level wood spirit master, or a four-colored, why are you so timid?" Su Qing said with some hatred that iron does not become steel.
"The ancestor said that I will protect the sect and protect Xiaoqiu in the future, and I will avenge my father and mother, so no matter what happens, I must be extra careful, because now my life is not my own, but the sect's," Xiao Tian looked at Su Qing firmly and said these heartfelt words.
Su Qing twitched his nose fiercely, and said in a low voice: "You just let go of the bold experience, with the third uncle here, I won't let you fall in front of the third uncle." ”
Xiaotian looked at Su Qing, and suddenly smiled and took his hand and ran in the sunset,
"That's it, then I'll let go of the experience,,,,"
