Chapter Twenty-Three: Ganging Up

"There are furry beast slaves everywhere in the 100,000 mountains who collect the essence blood of fierce beasts, and I don't know how many there are. I only know a few people in the immediate area, and I haven't been in contact with anyone further away. Hagong could see that Yuan Ming had just come to his aid, and he wanted to inquire about something from him, but he didn't care.

Yuan Ming nodded slowly, and asked the other party a few more questions about the furry beast slave, and they all got fairly good answers.

"Brother Hagon, I still have a question, I have been cultivating the Draping Technique for several months, and when I performed it a few days ago, I suddenly felt a bloodthirsty urge to kill from my heart, almost controlling my will, do you know what is going on?" Yuan Ming asked what he cared about the most.

"It's normal, it's the backlash of using the feather." Hagon said calmly.

"Backlash?" Yuan Ming immediately asked with a fixed expression.

"The Fur Technique is a unique secret technique in Biluo Cave, which can integrate the special animal skin with those who have just embarked on the path of cultivating immortals, so that they have a powerful power that is enough to resist demon beasts, it is really a powerful spell, but this power, after all, is not cultivated by ourselves, and it has strong side effects." Hagon sighed and said.

"Side effect, is that what you just said?" Yuan Ming hurriedly asked.

"The animal skins in your hands and I are all made by refining the skins of those fierce beasts in the 100,000 mountains collected by Biluo Cave through secret methods, and these animal skins contain the primitive demonic power of fierce beasts, which will gradually erode our bodies, and when they reach a certain level, there will be a backlash, and eventually the body will completely merge with the animal skins and become a monster that only knows how to kill." Hagon's voice was somewhat bitter.

"Is there any way to avoid the backlash of the Fur Technique?" Yuan Ming asked.

"No, as long as we use the draping technique, the ferocious power in the animal skin will continue to erode our body, and the more we use the draping technique, the greater the risk of backlash, and finally completely become a bloodthirsty monster, this is a point of no return, no one can escape." A flash of pain flashed in Hagorn's eyes.

"Then how long can we, furry beast slaves, last?" Yuan Ming's face became solemn and asked.

"If you only hunt five beast slaves a month, you don't need to use the draping technique as much as possible, and it will not be a problem to persist for four or five years or even longer, but if you use the fur cloak technique frequently, there are many people who will go completely crazy within a year or two." Hagon said.

"Biluo Cave just let it go?" Yuan Ming's heart couldn't help but sink, and he said after a moment of silence.

"How can Biluo Cave care about the life or death of us furry beast slaves? By the way, if you can collect a thousand pieces of essence blood before you go completely crazy, you may be accepted as a registered disciple, then you can get rid of the use of the draping technique. After saying these words, a hint of self-deprecation appeared on the corners of Hagon's mouth.

"You've accepted the assignment as well?" Yuan Ming asked.

"Hehe, if the first few months are quite eye-catching, the elders who manage us will secretly throw this task so that we can collect as much essence blood as possible in a short period of time." Hagong smiled, glanced at Yuan Ming and said.

"If you say before, I'm afraid that before the beast blood is raised, people will already go crazy." Yuan Ming smiled bitterly and said.

"Not necessarily, there are also talented people, if they don't lose their minds, it means that their hearts are strong and strong, and such a person Biluo Dong will definitely not refuse." Hagon replied noncommittally.

Yuan Ming nodded silently, and was about to ask something else, when his eyebrows suddenly raised, and he looked towards the dense mountains and forests behind him, and at the same time performed the draping technique, turning into a white ape form.

Hagon turned around, and his body had turned into a green wolf form.

Five figures flew away from the dense jungle, and they were all furry beast slaves, fanning Yuan Ming and Ha Kun, and their movements were extremely vigorous.

Almost as soon as Yuan Ming and the others completed the draping technique, the encirclement had already been formed.

Yuan Ming frowned, he didn't expect that it was not easy to even find a furry beast slave before, but now he had just gone deep into the forest for a while, and he had met six.

It's just that the latter five people are obviously not good.

"It's you!" Hagon spoke leisurely, apparently recognizable.

"Brother Hagon, let's meet again, I just saw the corpse of a blood crocodile over there, it was hunted by you, right? It seems that the strength has improved again, admire, admire. A Red Tiger Beast Slave stepped forward, glanced at Yuan Ming, and smiled at Hagon.

This man was huge, a little bigger than Hagon's green wolf transformation, with knotted muscles and full of strength, and was obviously the leader of this group.

"Zanbai, you've become more and more hypocritical since you joined the Green Wolf Gang, say, what do you want to do?" Hagon snorted.

"Hagon, last time you robbed my prey, this time you will pay ten times the price!" The other gray wolf beast slave stared at Hagon and said through gritted teeth.

"Wuli, that spotted leopard was discovered at the same time, you don't have the ability to kill it, don't you allow others to make a move?" Hagon looked at the gray wolf beast slave and said with a smile.

"Nonsense, it's clear that you robbed me of my prey." The gray wolf beast slave said angrily.

Zanbai's eyes glanced at Wuli coldly, as if he blamed him for speaking indiscriminately.

Wu Li's heart froze, he took two steps back, and didn't dare to speak again.

"Hagon, the Ming people don't say secret words, if you provoke our people several times and three times, if you don't punish them severely, what will others think of me? For the sake of you and me joining Biluo Cave at the same time, hand over the blood storage bag, and I can let you go. Zanbai said lightly.

"Really?" Hagon seemed to be moved.

"Of course, you should know that we Blackwood people keep our promises the most." Zanbai patted his chest with one hand and said proudly.

"Okay, I was surrounded by you today, I admit it, catch it." Hagon took the bag from his bosom and threw it at Zanbai.

Yuan Ming was slightly surprised in his heart, the bottom of this blood storage bag was stained with a little blood, it was not the one that Hagon used before, could it be that he killed a certain furry beast slave and took it?

Hagon seemed to sense Yuan Ming's gaze, looked over to this side, put his left hand behind his back, and pointed to the left front.

When Yuan Ming saw this scene, his face was groaning.

Zanbai was also a little surprised, subconsciously caught the blood storage bag, and suddenly felt that the touch was different, the bottom of the blood storage bag was broken, and there was a black ball in it.

He looked at it, and his expression suddenly turned angry.

The black ball exploded with a "bang", and a large black smoke came out of thin air, instantly flooding the area of more than ten feet by the lake.

"Let's go!" Hagon's form turned into a blue shadow and flew towards the left front.

Although Yuan Ming couldn't see Hagon, he immediately ran in that direction, and easily escaped from the encirclement of the Red Tiger Beast Slave and the others.

"Haha, praise, we'll have a date later!" Hagong laughed and took Yuan Ming into the jungle.

The moment Yuan Ming entered the jungle, he quickly took out two stones from his back with both hands and threw them left and right.

Two stones flew out and smashed into the jungle on the left and right, causing the leaves to shake there.

The figures in the black smoke flickered, and Zanbai and the others flew out, but there were no Hagong and Yuan Ming by the lake, only three swaying bushes, and it was impossible to tell which direction the two were going.

Zambai's eyes were full of anger, and he clenched his fists.

……

Yuan Ming followed Hagong and escaped seven or eight miles away, and when he saw that no one was chasing behind him, he stopped.

"Hagon, who are those guys?" Yuan Ming took a few breaths and asked.

"Those guys are from the Green Wolf Gang, and like us, they are all furry beast slaves. Their leader, Ubao, formed a gang with a dozen men to raid others. Hagon leaned against an old tree and spoke.

"Don't dare to hunt the beast yourself, but attract the attention of others, what's the difference between this and robbers?" Yuan Ming said disdainfully.

"In fact, there are not a few people like them who form gangs, but most of them choose to hunt beasts in groups, and a few are talented and robber. Yuan Ming, with your skills and courage, you might as well find a gang to join, it's easier. Hagon sighed and said.

"What about you, which gang are you also a member of?" Yuan Ming raised his eyebrows and asked.

Hagon shook his head and said, "I joined before, and then left. ”

"Why?" Yuan Ming wondered.

"The Tao is different, not the same. Once a group is formed, there must be a leader, and there must be a hierarchy. When hunting beasts, it is indeed more advantageous and can avoid casualties to a greater extent. But when it came time to share the results, it was not so harmonious. The leader and his cronies will naturally get more, and as for the others...... Hehe. Before Hagong finished speaking, Yuan Ming already understood.

"In that case, it's better to go it alone." Yuan Ming said with a smile.

"Either way, it's not easy to survive here. A word of caution, don't trust others too easily, and don't help others too easily. When the mountains and rivers are exhausted, people can do everything. Hagon said with a somewhat complicated expression.

"I have my own rules for my actions." Yuan Ming nodded and said with a smile.

When Hagon heard this, he said no more.

The two of them rested for a while, and Yuan Ming suddenly opened his mouth and asked, "Hagon, what is that thing you threw out earlier that emits a lot of smoke?" ”

"That thing is called a smoke bomb, it is something made by those registered disciples in Biluo Cave, and it is very useful when escaping for your life." Hagon replied.

"Smoke bombs? How did you get the things that the named disciples of Biluo Cave made? Yuan Ming wondered.

"Why, you haven't been to Toad Valley yet?" Hearing this, Hagon said with some surprise.

"Nope." Yuan Ming shook his head.

"Okay, I'm idle today, so I'll take you to open your eyes. It's a barter place, where you can trade some of the beast's belongings, or just the blood for something, for what you need. Hagon smiled, got up from the ground, patted the dirt on his buttocks, and said.

"Isn't that the market street, and there is such a place here?" Yuan Ming's curiosity was aroused.

"It was made by some disciples of Biluo Cave, and they sometimes need us people to get things from the fierce beasts. Let's go, it's not far from here, and you can walk there in half an hour. Hagon grinned.
