Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Vulture
The hunting ground covers an area of more than 200,000 square miles, which is twice the territory of Yunxiao Sect, Xue Tong remembered Wei Geng's words, the two realms of Xuan and Vulgar in Ao Wu Kingdom are one, and the strongest martial artist has royal blood.
"Royal is magnificent, and a hunting place is so vast that it is intimidating."
Ink leopard, leopard as its name, the whole body is black, only the leopard's eyes are yellow-green color, the habit is strange and cunning, it is extremely difficult to hunt, because its body is black like ink, the daytime activity is limited, and it is popular at night, still in the night when the wind is high and the moon is black.
Xue Tong has a little attainment in the technique of concealing and tracking disguise, and has hunted hundreds of demon beasts in ten years, which is quite experienced.
Leopards like to eat muntjac, roe deer, antelope and a kind, Xue Tong drove through the cloud cone to look down on the golden pupils to search for the muntjac roe sheep.
He wants to catch a live leopard for a reward, Fei Ran is naughty, and offering a living creature will make him happy, and maybe there will be a rich reward.
Three hundred miles away, the red-tailed muntjac in the jungle is active, and there are several dark valleys nearby, and in Xue Tong's experience, there should be predatory demon beasts.
He observed a mile away in the dark, and the things in the darkness were clearly discerning, and for several days, wolves, badgers, bears, and even pythons appeared from time to time, but the ink leopard was never seen.
Xue Tong took the initiative to hunt the red-tailed muntjac, smeared the muntjac blood on the trunk, and observed it from a distance.
There was still no trace of the ink leopard for several days, Xue Tong gritted his teeth, his green robe was painted with a large piece of muntjac blood, and he wandered in several valleys on a moonless night.
After killing several attacking demon beasts one after another, Xue Tong rested with his back against the boulder.
His powerful divine sense was released, and all the flying grass movements within fifty zhang of the surrounding area were encompassed.
Suddenly, there was a monster breath above his head.
The divine consciousness and Fahai sensing directly above were far weaker than those in front and left and right, and a black mass fell sharply.
Early days after tomorrow.
Xue Tong was overjoyed, and his body moved, avoiding the claw attack of the ink leopard.
In the past, in the later stage of his martial apprenticeship, he used his nightmare bone skill to kill the Explosive Flame Tiger of the same level as the demon leopard, but now the martial arts are complete, the brute strength of the physical body has increased several times, and the demon fist has also advanced by leaps and bounds.
Xue Tong controlled his strength, knocked the demon leopard unconscious to the ground with three or two punches, tied the ink leopard with a spirit rope, and threw it into the spirit pet bag.
Xue Tong rushed to the hunting ground pass overnight, and the guards guarding the door were stunned when they saw the princess's jade plate, and hurriedly sent a carriage for Xue Tong to travel.
"Haha, there is still half a month left before the deadline, my princess jade card is in hand, and there is an exclusive carriage for the hunting ground, just like the posture of the royal prince and noble."
……
Five days later, outside the imperial city of Aowuguo.
The Imperial City is located in the center of the Ao Wu Kingdom, like the stars holding the moon, standing majestically, gathering a population of 500,000, and is the most prosperous place in the entire continent.
The imperial city is divided into the outer city, the inner city, and the forbidden city, the innermost forbidden city is the place where the emperor lives, and the inner city is the place where the emperor lives, and the outer city is the place where the common people live.
The carriage of the hunting ground swaggered, and the soldiers and warriors guarding the city gate nodded and bowed, bowing to see Xue Tong enter the city.
Xue Tong found a luxury inn, and Xiao Er saddled his horse before and after, and introduced the distinguished guests into an antique compound.
Xue Tong washed up in the hot spring in the courtyard, and instructed Xiao Er to send a map, and he wandered around the wine shops and art galleries in the city for three consecutive days to understand the customs of Ao Wu Kingdom.
There are still five days left before the deadline, Xue Tong drove to the inner city, the bluestone high wall, the two columns of armor soldiers on the left and right of the city gate, all of them are martial artists, and the city tower is guarded by warriors in the middle of the day after tomorrow.
The wagon in the hunting ground was no longer qualified, and was stopped by the armor for inspection.
"Who entered the city and for what?" The spear-wielding man asked.
"Xue Tong of the hunting ground, ordered by Princess Ran, replied to the errand." Xue Tong showed the jade pendant given by Fei Ran, the bottom of the purple jade pendant was engraved with the word Ran, and the lanyard was also a rare red lanyard.
The style and unique material of the royal jade pendant are rare in the world, and the gatekeeper hesitates to hold the jade plaque, not daring to offend and unable to be sure.
A town guard warrior floated down from the castle tower, and after all, he was well-informed and knew that it was a royal treasure.
"Lord Xue, please!" He motioned for the armor to get out of the way and asked Xue Tong to enter the city.
"Lead the horse ahead and lead the way!"
"Yes!" The warrior led the horse and walked slowly through the city.
Along the street, the high walls and deep courtyards, the pavilions and pavilions are all visible, and it is a majestic scene of the imperial city.
Fei Hanhaigui is the uncle of today's son, in the forefront of the imperial family, the status is noble, the palace and the forbidden city are only one street apart, and his little daughter Fei Ran has two out of twenty, waiting for the word boudoir, living in the palace of Prince Chong.
The palace housekeeper looked suspicious, Xue Tong was dressed as a civilian, how could there be a princess jade pendant? He urgently summoned the princess's guards to learn about the hunting ground.
Xue Tong was led into the palace by the guards, Prince Chong's mansion covers an area of more than 5,000 acres, and Fei Ran lives in the Xiu Garden.
"Wow, you're here?"
In the central courtyard of the Junxiu Outer Garden, Fei Ran immediately asked when he saw Xue Tong.
"Well, the princess guessed alive or dead?" Xue Tong spoke casually, eliminating red tape.
"Oh, that's what you say!" Fei Ran's eyes were full of expectation.
"Haha, that's that!" Xue Tong dragged out a two-zhang long live leopard, and said proudly.
The Ink Leopard struggled a few times, a dull growl coming out of his nose.
Even the guards guarding the garden couldn't help but be surprised.
Xue Tongsheng captured the Heavenly Demon Leopard, who would have thought?!
"Haha, great, notify immediately, tomorrow's competition!" Fei Ran stroked his palms and laughed.
"Why, you want to test the Ink Leopard with people." Xue Tong was surprised.
"It's a competition with the beast tamer's Burning Gold Tiger!" Fei Ran said.
"Come on, come on, I'll talk to you."
It turned out that Fei Ran wanted to breed spiritual pets, royal majesty, and raise more lions and tigers, but Fei Ran was naughty by nature, but he didn't like it, saying that the lion and tiger were not fun and difficult to say, and the quirky spirit proposed to domesticate the ink leopard, saying that the leopard was flexible and tricky, and even more effective than the lion and tiger.
Her absurd remarks were not welcomed, and Fei Ran wanted to catch a live leopard in a fit of anger, but happened to meet Xue Tong, and this is the matter of catching leopards.
"Okay, good, what the princess said is reasonable, the ink leopard is very powerful, and now that the errand is completed, Xue Tong wants to receive the reward and leave with the bone puppet." Xue Tong couldn't laugh or cry.
"No, don't go!" Fei Ran was stunned and sternly refused, "In case the ink leopard misses, your experience in training bone puppets must be passed on to this palace." ”
Xue Tong pouted, looking helpless.
"I'll arrange for you to stay outside the city, and I'll communicate with you." Fei Ran said.
"Please wait for the ink leopard to recover a few days before fighting, don't be too anxious." Xue Tong said.
"Well, come here, reward Xue Tongling Stone with 30,000!"
……
Xi Garden, cultivation room.
"It's time for my vulture eggs to be dealt with, too."
Xue Tong touched the scene, put the vulture egg in the spirit pet bag, covered with a handful of high-grade spirit stones, the environment was full of spiritual energy, and the vulture egg began to hatch, Xue Tong vaguely guessed that the gray dot was not only hopeless in his mind, but might even be swallowed by his increasingly powerful divine sense.
Five days later, after receiving a message from Fei Ran, the ink leopard and the burning golden tiger fought for more than half an hour, and finally fell short and died in the tiger's mouth.
"The Ink Leopard is sorry for defeat, and between its strength and the Burning Gold Tiger, it can be classified as a spiritual pet of the same grade." Fei Ran sighed.
"But to be honest, the panther doesn't match the princess's royal temperament, so don't do it."
"What about the skeleton ghosts?"
"Demons are mysterious and illusory things, and there is no obvious disobedience to anyone other than young children." Xue Tong replied.
"After my repeated pleas, my father finally agreed to let me practice puppetry, but only golden bone puppets were allowed." Fei Ran and Xue Tong became more and more familiar, and they no longer called themselves the main palace.
"The Master Refiner has drawn a sample drawing based on the appearance of your bone golem." After Fei Ran finished speaking, he handed over a few drawings.
"Oh, two horns were added, the big mouth became smaller, the horned ghost, it's good!" Xue Tong looked at the pattern and said.
"Okay, tell me about your experience in refining puppets."
Xue Tong hid the section of the high-grade spirit stone and renamed it the middle-grade spirit stone, and after he finished speaking, Fei Ran frowned and said: "So the spiritual power exercise is very important, in order to refine the puppet, I still need to practice this kind of exercise?"
"Of course, the puppet is a helper, if there is no threshold, everyone will bring a few." Xue Tong said.
"That's not going to be fun, think about it again."
"This palace feels that it is destined for you and wants to recruit you as a guard, how about it?" Fei Ran's face changed, a rare seriousness.
Xue Tong shook his head again and again, waved his hand and said: "The princess is joking, I am a loose cultivator of unknown origin, how can I be a princess guard, the royal water is as deep as the sea, and it is better for me to leave early." ”
"If I have a fate with the princess, I will see you again, so let it be."
Xue Tong was bitter and thought about it, Fei Ran retreated and asked Xue Tong to live in the outer city for a long time and wait for the call at any time.
"You and I talk, the four guards are close and far away, not far from the left and right, for fear that I will be unfavorable to the princess, I have lived in the outer city for a long time, and I may not know what will happen after a long time, the princess doesn't care, but Xue Tong may be unlucky, it is better not to do such a thing."
"Xue Tong promised the princess that if we meet here in a year, don't make it difficult for others." Xue Tong took a step back, feeling that with Fei Ran's brutal habits, he couldn't get out without agreeing to something.
"Okay!" Fei Ran finally agreed.
……
Xue Tong took back the bone puppet and moved out of Xiyuan.
The Imperial City is undoubtedly the most abundant place in Ao Wu Kingdom, and Xue Tong made an appointment for the next year because of many things to do.
He went in and out of the major shops, spent hundreds of thousands of spirit stones, and bought the spirit pills he needed.
He ordered a 980-pound high-grade Heavy Iron Goose Wings in the largest refining shop, and paid a deposit of 80,000 yuan in advance, and he needed to comprehensively and quickly increase his strength to give full play to the maximum effectiveness of the ring treasure.
Xue Tong re-entered the Jinluan Trading House and bought twenty-six bottles of high-purity evil qi, he was a martial artist, and he had no time to wait, so he paid 400,000 spirit stones to buy the Tiancheng Dan four-flavor elixir, and said that he would come and get it at the right time.
Xue Tong lived in the top spiritual qi cultivation room of Longquan Mountain on the outskirts of the imperial city, "Evil qi cultivation is the best in the ghost dojo, first refine the Three Yuan Decision and other exercises, and hatch the vultures. ”
After two months, the vulture's opalytic shell becomes soft and transparent, and a furry vulture's inside has taken shape.
The vulture is fierce and fierce, with a sharp beak and claws, but the speed is slightly lower, and it is a good product among spiritual birds, but unfortunately the blood of the Bal eagle egg is low, and it is only born to a martial apprentice-level demon vulture.
The domestication of oviparous demon beasts is much easier to domesticate viviparous young beasts, mainly because the viviparous young beasts grow up in the mother's body, and the accumulation of demon qi greatly exceeds that of oviparity.
Xue Tong took out the eagle egg and buried it with a high-grade spirit stone, revealing only the tip of the egg.
After a few days, the eggshell seeped into the eggshell, and the young vulture pecked at the eggshell, pecking open the hole, and poked out a fluffy vulture head.
Xue Tong's brain was empty, and a white light suddenly lit up, and it instantly disappeared into the head of the young vulture!
The vulture rolled its eyes and passed out.
Xue Tong endured the discomfort in his brain, carefully laid the spirit stone in the spirit pet bag, fixed the half-broken vulture egg, and deliberately placed a majestic spirit stone next to the vulture head, cut the wrist, and the bubbling blood flooded to the vulture's mouth.
"You've done so much for me, that's all I can think of, I have your shadow in my blood, I hope I can help you."
The vulture wakes up after a month of coma, rolls his eyelids every few days, gulps of blood, and continues to sleep.
