When Ling Jiuqiu swept through the mountains and forests, in a corner near the Jingyang Mountain Control Area, five black-clothed and masked figures gathered here.

"I repeat, the only goal of this trip is to kidnap Ling Jiuqiu, and the others don't care, if you really can't kidnap him, then retreat to the next best thing - kill him."

"Let's look for Ling Jiuqiu's traces separately first, try not to alarm others during the search, but in case it is noticed by others, everyone makes their own decisions, this mission, there is no restriction on any means."

"No matter who completes the task first, immediately knock out and order Jiuqiu to take it away, and after leaving the control area, then send a retreat signal, and after the others see the signal, they quickly evacuate and assemble at the pre-agreed place."

"If you encounter a strong obstacle in the process of arresting Jiuqiu, remember to send a call for help signal as soon as possible, and others must go to support immediately, but you must remember that you must not use a call for help signal in any situation other than the mission, even if your life is in danger, you can only find a way to escape, and you must not affect the progress of other people's missions."

"Do you remember them all?"

The man in black asked in a deep voice.

"Remember!"

The other four men in black replied in unison.

Then, the leader of the black-clothed man moved his mind, and the ground under his feet instantly softened into liquid.

The bodies of the five people quickly sank, but they were obviously prepared, without the slightest panic or superfluous movements, allowing the softened earth to completely engulf their bodies.

In the blink of an eye, the five of them sank to a depth of about fifty meters underground, and all the light disappeared, leaving only darkness around them.

The earth rumbled and muffled, and the soil and rocks surged rapidly, compressing and automatically shaping into a shape similar to a long shuttle, enveloping the bodies of the five people in it.

The next moment.

The earth shuttle began to move slowly underground.

The soil in front of it automatically softens and is easily penetrated by the tip of the earth shuttle.

The nearly ten-meter-long earth shuttle, like an underground version of a submarine, quietly broke the ground and moved forward.

Of course, after all, there are five living people in the earth shuttle, so the volume is not small, and when it passes through the ground, it will inevitably cause a chain reaction of the surrounding soil, even if it is controlled by the earth element martial soul of the leader of the man in black, it will inevitably make a rumbling sound.

But because the leader of the men in black deliberately slowed down his speed and dived deep enough, the movement of their movement was negligible by the time it reached the surface.

In addition, this place is already in the forest, and all kinds of fierce beasts and monsters emerge in an endless stream, and it is normal for the earth to shake under the influence of some battles.

Therefore, without attracting anyone's attention, the five men in black successfully infiltrated the controlled area that was tightly surrounded by the imperial army.

The leader of the man in black roughly judged the direction and distance, and when he felt that it was about the same, he controlled the earth shuttle to float slowly.

When approaching the surface, a large amount of true qi was released, sensing the movement on the surface and making sure that there was no one nearby, and then it emerged from the ground.

The five took a deep breath.

In the ten minutes or so that the surface moved, the fresh air in the Tushuo was quickly consumed, so that the five of them held their breath for nearly ten minutes, if it was an ordinary person, or a slightly weaker martial artist, they would have suffocated to death in the Tushuo.

The leader of the men in black gestured to the other four, signaling them to search in different directions.

The four of them nodded one after another, sped away in different directions, and disappeared into the jungle in the blink of an eye.

Finally, the leader of the men in black sneaked away in the remaining directions, silently.

……

"Whew!"

The sword slashed through the head of a snake monster.

Green viscous blood gushed out.

Ling Jiuqiu grabbed the head of the inverted triangle snake demon beast, plundered its soul in the blink of an eye, and then dug out the demon pill in its head.

Finally, activate the Swallowing Sky Python Martial Soul Phantom, and swallow all the body and head of the snake demon beast in one bite.

"It's a pity, I forgot to ask Mentor Yu Yong yesterday, if you don't have ears like a snake demon beast, won't you have no points after killing?"

"This is too unfair, is it to look down on snake demon beasts?"

Ling Jiuqiu complained to himself.

At this time, it was already the morning of the second day of entering the Jingyang Mountain Range, and after most of yesterday's hunting, Jiuqiu's Fire Element Martial Soul had improved slightly, and the biggest gain was more than a dozen demon pills.

Most of them were just first-order demon pills, and depending on the specific grade, they were worth anywhere from one hundred taels to several hundred taels.

There are also two second-order demon pills, which are worth anywhere from one thousand taels to thousands of taels depending on the grade.

In other words, for most of the day's income yesterday, the value of the demon pill alone was close to 10,000 taels of silver.

In fact, although every demon beast has a demon pill in its body, not every hunt can be successfully hunted.

Because the higher the level of the demon beast, the higher the wisdom, the average second-order demon beast IQ is close to eight or nine years old children, with the basic thinking ability, when faced with the situation of death, most of them will fully burst out of the power of the demon pill to fight to the death.

This behavior is called blasting.

Can you kill human beings or not, the act of exploding the pill is irreversible, even if the demon beast explodes the pill in the next moment, and even the demon pill in its body is immediately dug out of the body, but at this time, the demon pill will still continue to exude power, and after a few minutes at most, the demon pill will completely dissipate.

It's like a balloon that has been blown up, and after a hole is punctured, no matter how much you try to cover it, you can't stop the balloon from leaking.

Low-level demon beasts are just that, because their IQ is too low, most of them will only use the power of the demon pill out of instinct, even if they are in a near-death state, they will not explode the pill because of the instinctive fear of death.

But the higher the level of the monster, the higher the IQ, the more it can distinguish the form, and the more obvious the impact of emotions will be.

For example, when it is cornered by humans, it will think in its heart that even if it is dead, it is impossible to leave the demon pill to its enemies, and then decisively choose to explode the pill.

It is best to be able to die together, not to die together, and not to let the enemy get his own demon pill.

Therefore, the higher the level, the more rare the demon pill is.

In addition to the fact that there are fewer high-level demon beasts, the probability of damage to the demon pill is also skyrocketing, and the difficulty of hunting is also skyrocketing.

Although Ling Jiuqiu's strength is much stronger than that of ordinary second-order demon beasts, the vitality of demon beasts is too tenacious, even if they are beheaded in one face, it is impossible to die instantly, at least within ten seconds, they retain a relatively complete consciousness.

In ten seconds, the second-order demon beast could completely control the power of the outbreak demon pill, even if it didn't have the ability to fight back, it was unwilling to leave the precious demon pill to Ling Jiuqiu, the enemy.

Ling Jiuqiu killed a total of five second-order demon beasts yesterday afternoon, and only two second-order demon pills were successfully hunted, which showed that their success rate was low.
