Chapter 3: The Hunt

Early one morning, Ye Ming got ready and went out.

Outside the gate of Yejia Mountain, the fourth brother Xuanfang, the sixth brother Xuandong, the eighth sister Xuanqian, and the ninth sister Xuanxue all wore a cyan robe.

Their figures are very eye-catching under the warm winter sun, and the five of them have already made an appointment to go hunting together in Nanshan Mountain at the eastern foot of Caixia Mountain today.

Nanshan is a paradise for low-level monks to hunt, and there are some low-level demon beasts gathered in the mountain, which is suitable for innate martial artists and Qi cultivation period monks to hunt.

The materials on the monster beast have many uses, and they are all treasures.

Demon beast meat can be cooked and eaten, which has the ability to strengthen the flesh of immortal cultivators, and also has the purpose of replenishing qi and blood.

Demon beast leather can be used to make talismans, and can also be used to refine defensive magic weapons and magic clothes.

Demon beast minions are tough and sharp, and can be made into offensive magic weapons.

The blood of the demon beast is a medicine guide for mixing spirit wine, spirit liquid, or making rune ink and refining special pills.

The spirit of the demon beast can be added to the refining magic weapon to increase the spirituality of the magic weapon, and it can also be added to the puppet, so that the puppet has some special combat instincts that the demon beast had before it was born.

It is said that some demon beasts still have a chance to form an inner pill with aura crystals in their bodies, which is a kind of elixir that can replace the previous year, and is used to refine many bottleneck-breaking pills.

Ye Ming and the five of them are about to be promoted to the late stage of the Qi training period, form a team, and go down the mountain together, not only to take care of each other, but also to hone their combat skills, and to obtain some cultivation resources.

When Xuan Qian and Xuan Xue sisters saw Ye Ming coming, they stomped on their feet that were standing a little numb, and complained, "Seventh brother, you are late again." Ye Ming sneered: "I read a book last night, I didn't pay attention to the hour, and I got up late." ”

Xuan Dong smiled, stepped forward and patted Ye Ming's shoulder, and asked, "You have to read the book, and you have to pay attention to your body, but now your spirit is fine, don't get in the way, right?" Why don't you leave later? ”

Ye Ming hammered a fist on Xuandong's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Sixth brother, I'm not so delicate, don't get in the way, don't delay everyone's time." ”

After he finished speaking, he looked at Xuan Fang and asked, "Fourth brother, how long do we plan to stay on this hunt?" Ye Xuanfang smiled bitterly: "How long can we stay, we don't have a formation, it's the same way, we'll come back before dark!" ”

Ye Ming said in his heart: "That's true, if there is a set of formations, maybe you don't have to toss back and forth, and the harvest will be much more." ”

Xuan Fang urged: "Let's go quickly, last time Xuan Qi and I found the traces of a first-order high-grade fire lion beast, but unfortunately there were only two of us at the time, this time maybe a few of us can successfully take down this demon beast." ”

Xuan Qian heard that Ye Xuanfang was going to take everyone to hunt first-order high-grade demon beasts, and applauded, and the other three also readily agreed, and the five of them said yes, and it took half a day to rush to the periphery of Nanshan. As soon as Ye Ming and the five of them entered the mountain forest, more than a dozen figures faintly flashed in the depths of the forest.

Ye Ming's spiritual sense was the strongest among the few, and he reminded: "There are immortal cultivators. ”

Xuan Qian asked, "Do we need to avoid them?" ”

Xuan Xue was thoughtful and sensed: "It's too late, they may have discovered us." ”

After a while, Ye Ming and the five of them had already seen their identities clearly from the characteristics of each other's clothing.

The leader is Mei Luo, an outstanding disciple of the Mei family, and the rest are all early stage Qi training and innate realm martial artists, all of them are smiling, chatting, and there are bulging storage bags hanging from their waists, which is enough to show that they have gained a lot from this trip.

Mei Luo sensed that the five figures entered the mountain, and was a little surprised, so she reminded the clansmen: "Keep a low profile, it's the Ye family monk." ”

When these innate martial artists of the Mei family heard Mei Luo's warning, they all took out their weapons and were on guard as if they were facing a great enemy.

The Mei family was the old Zifu family that had dominated Nanjun for a long time, with a heritage of more than 400 years, and its heritage was better than that of the Ye family.

However, the Ye family has been in the clan for more than 200 years, and the clansmen have worked hard to make the country prosperous, and thirty years ago, they found another way, opened up a new trade route, and produced a Purple Mansion monk. At present, both of them have some vassal forces in Nanling County, and their strength is no different.

Although the Yemei family has some festivals, most of the time they compete in secret, and they never put it in the open. Now that the two monks are meeting in the mountains, there is no reason for a direct conflict, but they are both wary of each other.

Mei Luo's heart was bright, he was the only one on his side who was an eighth-layer cultivator in the Qi training period, Mei Jun and Mei Jie were both third-level Qi cultivation monks, if they were against the Ye family, the odds of winning were not great, and other innate martial artists were not as good as the monks in the Qi training period after all, not to mention that the five people on the Ye family's side were all Qi cultivation period monks. After a little thought, he took the clansmen to make a detour from one side, deliberately avoiding the path taken by the Ye family.

Ye Ming and the others also had a false alarm, it was the first time to meet such a large-scale family team, and they didn't know why the low-level clansmen of the Mei family were so popular.

However, they decided to go out of the mountain before dark, and they were not afraid of any crooked thoughts from the Mei family.

After several people entered the depths of the mountain forest, they all cheered up, released their divine sense to sense the surrounding situation, and easily killed several first-order low-grade demon beasts that came out to forage for food along the way, and also picked several first-order low-grade herbs near their lair, and there was not a single first-order middle-grade elixir that could be used for the mid-stage realm of qi cultivation.

Suddenly, Xuan Fang stopped, brushed aside the snow under a small green-leaved shrub in front of him, pointed to a bluestone below, and said with a smile: "Here, I found it, there is still the mark I left on it, there will be no mistake, there is a yellow apricot forest not far ahead, and after the forest, it is the territory of the fire lion beast." ”

Xuan Fang stood up, identified the direction, and took Ye Ming and the four of them to Moyo Tea Kung Fu, and sure enough, he found an apricot forest.

The apricot tree has no fallen leaves, the trunk is covered with snow, and there are still some small ice edges hanging from the branches, reflecting the colorful glow of the sun under the rays of the sun.

A few people walked slowly through the apricot forest, trying to reduce the sound of footsteps, and before they walked out of the apricot forest, Xuan Fang whispered: "Use light talismans, the sound of stepping on the snow is still a little loud, if it is discovered by the fire lion beast in advance, it is estimated that we will have to run for nothing this time." ”

Ye Ming and the others took out the light talisman from the storage bag on their waists, patted it on their feet, and suddenly, bursts of white light flashed under the soles of their feet, and there was no sound coming out of walking on the snow.

Gradually walking to the depths, a faint smile appeared on the faces of several people, they had sensed several first-order mid-grade elixirs in their consciousness, in order not to alarm the fire lion beast, in case it heard the movement and fled, several people left a mark, did not rush to pick, and then looked around for the lair where the fire lion beast was hiding.

Mo Yo has passed another half an hour, and several people's light talismans have been changed once, and Xuan Fang found a more suspicious demon beast cave, he gestured with Ye Ming and a few people, and after a while of communication, they decided to do it after checking the surrounding environment.

A burst of "boom" sounded in the air, and Xuan Fang shot a bluestone into the cave, and before the stone could touch the stone wall, a loud roar came out from the cave.

Immediately afterward, the hill where the cave was located shook for a while, and a loud roar of falling rubble could be heard from the depths of the cave, shaking the snow from the nearby treetops to a large fall.

"Roar..."Ye Ming and the five of them heard the voice, knowing that they had made the right bet this time, and hung the magic weapon that had already been sacrificed around the exit of the cave, just waiting for the fire lion beast to emerge.

In an instant, a large demon beast with a body of feet and feet, a red light on its body, and the body of a lion-headed leopard appeared in everyone's consciousness.

Xuan Fang shouted: "That's it, everyone be careful, it is a fire attribute demon beast, and its strength is comparable to the ninth layer of the Qi training period." ”

The five of them didn't dare to be distracted, and each drove the magic weapon in their hands, and their fingers were pointing at the hole.

"Quick!"

"Fall!"

"Bondage!"

"Forbidden!"

"Hit!"

Before everyone's magic weapons landed in front of the fire lion beast, a wave of heat had already come from the entrance of the cave, "Bang bang bang..." several muffled sounds, and then a series of sparks shot out, directly melting the snow on the ground around the cave, and suddenly bursts of smoke and fog rose, obscuring everyone's sight.

Although several people had already discussed how to cooperate on the way here, Xuan Xue was still a little uneasy at this time, and she reminded loudly: "Don't forget not to mess up." Seventh brother, your sense is stronger, you will command. When everyone heard this, they clasped the talisman in their hands, just waiting for the fire lion beast to break through.

Ye Ming didn't push, and shouted: "Xuan Qian, use the Wind Talisman, wait for my prompt later, prepare the Ice Needle Talisman, and the others will hold the formation, and use spells and talismans to interfere with the Fire Lion Beast." ”

Xuan Qian sacrificed a wind talisman and blew away the smoke and mist, and the huge body of the Fire Lion Beast was completely revealed in front of everyone's eyes.

The lion's head and leopard body, the head horns are hideous, and the fiery red fur is missing several pieces, which are obviously caused by the injuries caused by the fierce fight just now.

The five magic weapons have their own focus, Xuan Xue's rope magic weapon took the opportunity to strangle one of the hind legs of the fire lion beast, Xuan Dong's scimitar magic weapon was amazingly fast, slashing towards the neck of the fire lion beast, Xuan Fang's short spear shot at the belly of the fire lion beast, Xuan Qian took out a first-order high-grade chaos rune and flew towards the fire lion at the right time.

The fire lion beast's front legs and hooves kicked suddenly, the red light on the hooves flickered, and kicked away the short spear that struck the abdomen, the blood basin opened its mouth, a gust of wind erupted, and a ball of flame knocked away the scimitar that came at it, and then turned around with strength, and the hind hooves were raised, almost trying to break free from the rope magic weapon.

Xuan Xue stumbled and fell forward, everyone was shocked, the Fire Lion Beast had turned around, and wanted to take the opportunity to break through in the direction of Xuan Xue.

Unexpectedly, a large seal came out from one side, and then the mountain shook, and the huge body of the fire lion beast fell to one side, and was knocked down on the mountain rock wall near the entrance of the cave.

Xuan Qian's chaotic rune followed, bursting directly at the side of his skull.

Everyone didn't need her to remind them, they had readjusted their formations and divided the vital points around the Fire Lion Beast.

Ye Ming added, "Surround the Fire Lion Beast and don't let it escape back to the cave. After he finished speaking, he took out the Qingfeng Sword from the storage bag and tossed it forward.

The Qingfeng Sword was infused with Ye Ming's mana, as fast as lightning, and shot towards the eyes of the Fire Lion Beast.

The Chaos Rune had disturbed the Fire Lion Beast's mind, and just as it sensed several fierce dangers coming, a remnant of spiritual sense in its mind allowed it to dodge the Qingfeng Sword that nearly blinded itself.

When the Xuanxue Rope Magic Weapon strangled the Fire Lion Beast's two front feet again, Xuan Fang's short spear magic weapon had already broken through the red light on the Fire Lion Beast's body and pierced into its abdomen, at this time, Ye Ming shouted: "Xuan Qian do it." ”

Xuan Fang's blow was very clever in timing, and it directly hit this thick-skinned fire lion, making it can't help but stare at it and roar wildly.

When the Fire Lion Beast opened its eyes again, Xuan Qian had already activated the Ice Needle Talisman, and dozens of pale blue ice crystals as thin as silver needles pierced its pupils, making it unable to see.

The Fire Lion Beast, which had lost its ability to perceive its eyes, was no longer in much danger to Ye Ming and the others, even if it was beastly, it could not change the result of its fall.

After a while, the poor Fire Lion Beast was cut in two by Ye Ming's giant sword technique.

Ye Ming and the five of them divided the materials on the Fire Lion Beast, and after resting for a while, they entered the cave where the Fire Lion Beast was located, and found more than ten red spirit grasses in its lair.

This spirit grass is a first-order high-grade elixir, and it is the main medicine for refining the Zengyuan Pill.

Zengyuan Pill is suitable for Qi cultivation mid-stage realm cultivators, and it is a rare medicine that strengthens the foundation of Peiyuan Pill, and it also has a certain effect on breaking through the bottleneck.

One Zengyuan Pill is worth ten low-level spirit stones, these more than ten red spirit grasses are all used to refine Zengyuan Pill, at least half of them can be refined into Zengyuan Pill, preliminarily calculated, hundreds of low-grade spirit stones, plus the value of the fur, muscles and bones, and beast blood of the Fire Lion Beast, the five of them could no longer hold back the joy in their hearts, and they talked about how to use these spirit stones.

The five of them packed up everything, and circled around the territory of the Fire Lion Beast, but they harvested several first-order medium-grade elixirs again, and everyone saw that the sky turned from light to dark, and in desperation, they had to turn around and rush out.

In the world of cultivating immortals, what is more terrifying than the demon beast is the human heart of the same immortal cultivator, and the monks with improper intentions will not only try to kill people and seize treasures, but also collect and sell the bodies and souls of those they kill.

When you go out, you still have to be vigilant, and the cautious attitude of Ye Ming and these people is cultivated under the guidance of the elders in the clan, which is also the advantage of being born in the Xiuxian family.
