Chapter Twenty-Seven: Mofeng Town
"Uhhh
In the vast mountains and forests, one or two wild beasts roared from time to time, and there was a reckless atmosphere between the huge mountains.
Xue Yi did not choose to return to Zhou Town, but went all the way north, passing through a large area of lush primeval forest. Before leaving, Master was right, what he needed now was not to retreat and immerse himself in penance, but to test and hone himself in actual combat, so as to accumulate combat experience. Cultivation that is not put into practice can only be a showmanship and a piece of paper, and it is impossible to temper the steel-like mentality of not being surprised by changes all the time.
However, in the process of crossing the vast forest, Xue Yi also discovered a phenomenon that made him helpless, that is, it was difficult to find an opponent. Now those ordinary beasts are as fragile as tofu in the face of their own speed and strength. Even fierce beasts such as rhinoceros and tigers and leopards, they were beaten half to death with a heavy punch, not to mention that with the assistance of their own Water Pattern Realm Body Method and Shadow Escape Technique, ordinary beasts could not even touch the corners of their clothes, and they could not play a role in honing themselves at all, so they could only be one-sided slaughter.
Therefore, along the way, Xue Yi spent most of his time cultivating the art of shadow escape. Ordinary beasts generally feel that he is not easy to provoke, so they will avoid it from afar, and occasionally encounter those who can't open their eyes and regard themselves as prey, so Xue Yi has no choice but to teach them how to be hunters.
That's it, cultivating all the way, and practicing with some low-level enemies along the way. If you are hungry, you will eat wild fruits, if you are thirsty, you will drink mountain springs, and of course, occasionally you will hunt a wild beast to taste wild food. Three days passed, and on the evening of the third day, a small town finally appeared in front of him.
"Whoosh-" Xiao Bi burst out of Xue Yi's clothes, her big black jewel-like eyes reflecting the bustling town with cooking smoke floating under the slanting sun, and her whole body jumped with excitement.
"Hehe, don't stay outside later, I'll lure the whole street over. Xue Yi stroked Xiaobi and said with a smile.
During the previous month's cultivation, Xue Yi couldn't take Xiaobi with him, so he kept it in a cave near the mountain village. Xiaobi is also obedient and will never run around under his advice. Xue Yi brought Xiaobi back every night after returning at night, and by the way, he found some food for it in the mountains and forests. Now that he is traveling to cultivate, of course, he has to take this intimate partner with him.
After a few days of recovery, Xue Yi gradually came out of his grief and returned to normal, only occasionally feeling sad when he remembered it. People will always move forward. Xue Yi will not always stop at the beginning. However, Hai Yuan, the master who has only been with him for a month, has been firmly imprinted in his heart and will never be forgotten.
"It's a big town here. Xue Yi was a little surprised. As far as the eye can see, the scale of the town is not small, it is definitely several times larger than Zhou Town. Bustling crowds walk the streets in the setting sun, smoke drifts by, and groups of hunters return from the mountains, mostly carrying or carrying their prey. Many people had a smile on their faces. Of course, there are also teams carrying the wounded on improvised stretchers and walking back to the town with a sad expression, probably because they were injured after failing to hunt.
In a town like this, there are not a few hunters who form a team of hunters to hunt in the mountains, and there are many in Zhou Town, of course, there are many fewer compared to here. The furs, bones, and even blood and internal organs of most beasts have a strong economic and medicinal value, and there are special merchants in the town who buy them at low prices and sell them in some of the big cities. Moreover, almost all the wild animals are delicious, and can often be eaten for several days after returning from a hunt, so this highly rewarding occupation is especially popular with the men in the prime of life in the town, who are basically in their twenties and thirties, and the work of farming is often entrusted to men and women in their forties.
In this martial continent, even the people mostly circulate some inferior tactics. If a boy is born in the family, as long as he has some savings, he will spend money to hire some three-legged cat kung fu gentlemen to teach. Therefore, even ordinary people mostly have the strength to build the first or second layer of the foundation. If you reach the fourth or fifth floor of the foundation, you can be regarded as a master among the ordinary people in the entire town. Therefore, after a long run-in, these hunter squads have the strength to fight even if they encounter some weaker first-order demonic beasts. And if you can kill a demonic beast, then you will make a lot of money. The demon core in the monster's body, as well as the treasures in its body, are enough for everyone in the team to keep the whole family from worrying about food and clothing for March.
Xue Yi stood on the high cliff and hesitated for a while, but still chose to walk towards the town below the mountain. After all, there was no one for three days in a row, and I didn't know where it was. In addition, Xue Yi also has his own plans. He was in dire need of a powerful monster as a whetstone, and this kind of historic town often had maps of the mountains around the town for sale. On this kind of map, there will be some markings of powerful Warcraft territory to remind people that it is a "forbidden area". And what Xue Yi needs is exactly this kind of marking. It's always better to have a purposeful search than to be aimless.
Walking into the town, an antique feeling comes to your face. The streets are neat, with gray walls and green tiles, and the owners of the shops on both sides urge the men to move things into the store. As the sun sets, there is a sense of tranquility in the town.
Xue Yi found a restaurant and asked for a plate of side dishes and a bowl of tea. The gold coins brought out from Zhou's mansion, grandpa didn't accept them, so he had to forcibly leave ten of them, and the rest was always on his body, which was enough for the expenses at this time. It seems that in the future, when hunting wild beasts, some rare beast skins and furs must also be left behind, so as not to fall into the dilemma of being penniless in the future.
After simply eating some fireworks in the world, Xue Yi also took advantage of the fact that the night had not yet fallen, asked the bartender for directions, and walked towards the hunter's club in the center of the town. The so-called hunter's club is actually a kind of hunter's gathering place with comprehensive functions. Hunters recruit their members, sell their game, buy weapons and equipment, heal the wounded in the clubhouse's outpatient clinic, or chat and fart in the halls. I think there should be news about the location of the monsters in the mountains in this kind of place.
After asking for directions, Xue Yi also knew the name of this town-Mofeng Town, which was probably more than 300 miles north of Zhou Town. Although the scale of the town is not small, there is no family in the town that cultivates combat power, so the strongest person in the town is only the fifth or sixth layer of the foundation.
After walking on the flat road for about ten minutes, the noise came from ahead. The voice came into his ears, and Xue Yi couldn't help but speed up his pace.
At the turn of the intersection, a building that occupies an entire street immediately comes into view. The three-storey building features vermilion wooden walls carved with dazzling patterns, and an eagle eagle eagle on a high cornice. At a glance, an atmospheric feeling arose, which made Xue Yi secretly admire twice.
At this time, there was still a bustling team of hunters coming and going in front of the gate of the clubhouse from time to time. Some strong men of five big and three thick men walked and bragged to each other, laughing and walking out of the clubhouse. Xue Yi did not hesitate, but walked towards the door.
Soon, Xue Yi attracted the attention of the surrounding crowd. There was really no way to do it, because he was too young compared to the people around him. Although the events of the past few months have always made him fade from the greenness on his face, he can still see that he is still a teenager. Immediately, a number of whispered chatters and ridicule rang out all around.
Xue Yi was so sensitive to hearing, how could he not hear it? However, he was unmoved, and walked into the hall on the first floor of the clubhouse by himself. The hall was bustling with people, and the tables were filled with hunters talking loudly. There were counters there, and a merchant stood there, firmly holding on to the beast materials obtained by the hunter in front of the counter, and then giving an offer.
Looking around, the interior of the building is also extraordinary. The vast hall of thousands of square meters is paved with dark agarwood, and on the dome above, two axes cross to form a sign, and the four big characters of "Hunter's Club" next to it are marked with iron hooks and silver strokes, which are domineering.
Xue Yi walked silently around the hall and then went to the second floor, which, according to the signs in the hall, was where the items were sold.
Ascending to the second floor, the flow of people is really much less, only three or three people wandering in front of a counter similar to the first floor, the same dark agarwood floor, and a comfortable aroma in the air.
"Doctor, please save him! He's my own brother! I'll kneel down for you, as long as you save him, I'll give you whatever you want!"
Suddenly, a heart-rending cry came from behind the right. Xue Yi frowned slightly, turned his face to look, and saw a group of men carrying a blood-stained stretcher, and a person lying on the stretcher, the specific situation was too far away to see clearly. Ahead, a dark-skinned man knelt on the ground, grabbed the hem of an elderly man's clothes with both hands, and cried out loudly.
"Alas, little brother, it's useless for you to beg me, I was pounced on by a demonic beast, and my five organs were displaced, and now even the pulse is imperceptible, even if I am a god, I have no skills to return to the sky." ”
"Doctor, you can do it, no matter what method you use, as long as you save him, it's really not good, you exchange my life for his life!"
Seeing the helplessness of the doctor being entangled, Xue Yi hesitated for a moment and walked over.
When I got closer, I saw that the man lying on the stretcher had a large hole torn open under his ribs, and although he was bandaged with a bandage, blood was oozing outward. There are at least a dozen scars all over the body, and the blood stains at the corners of the mouth extend to the back of the neck. It seems that what the healer said should be true, this is indeed like being injured by a demonic beast.
"Little hairy boy, what are you looking at, isn't it interesting? Get out!" At this moment, a man in his thirties in a group of people around the stretcher saw Xue Yi approaching, and immediately scolded.
Xue Yi frowned, understanding that he was in a very bad mood, but he didn't care about him, and said without humility or arrogance: "If you are willing to let me try, I may be able to save him." ”
As soon as these words came out, a group of people all turned their faces, but when they saw that Xue Yi was still immature, the hope in their eyes immediately turned into disdain and anger. The disrespectful man just now spoke again, and said viciously: "Stinky boy, what kind of are you talking in front of Lao Tzu, don't you see that our brothers are like that?
Xue Yi raised his eyebrows, and sneered at each other: "You try?" Although he disdained to deal with this person, when it came to this, he couldn't give in and retreat. In a flash of light, he had come up with a solution. If you want to convince others, I'm afraid you can't do it without showing some strength.
"Milky boy, are you looking for death?" The man was really furious, his eyes widened, and when he stepped out, the entire floor seemed to shake, and a fist the size of a bowl slammed into Xue Yi's chest mercilessly.
