Chapter 12: The Spirit Hunter
The Qiyuan Mountains are the largest mountain range in the Mingfa Continent, running north-south, spanning most of the Mingfa Continent, because there will be very strong winds and sands in the west, this Qiyuan Mountains is a natural protective wall, blocking the invasion of the wind and sand to the east. The birds and beasts in the mountain range are very rich in vegetation and ores, so many spirit hunters will come here to obtain a lot of cultivation resources, and over time, the spirit hunting cottage will gradually form in the mountain corridor leading to the mainland.
Speaking of spirit hunters, don't think that they can get a lot of cultivation resources in the mountain range will be a group of people with advanced cultivation, on the contrary, they will only use very few resources to maintain their cultivation, because these people are basically monks with low cultivation qualifications, after years of cultivation, it is difficult to improve their cultivation, but their life span is coming to an end, in order to survive, they will accumulate a lot of cultivation resources through the mountain corridor to go to the larger market in the east of the mainland to exchange for an elixir called Yanshou Dan, Yanshou Dan as the name suggests, is a kind of pill that can increase lifespan, each pill can increase the lifespan of about ten years, and ten years is still quite long, but for monks, it is really not worth mentioning, and the resources that many monks have accumulated by working hard here for more than ten years cannot be exchanged for a single pill of longevity.
The formula and refining method of this longevity pill are in the hands of some high-level monks, in order to get it, the spirit hunters have to pay their own time, energy and even life, it can be said that the spirit hunters are the workers of the senior monks.
Besides, a few people walked towards the Hunting Spirit Cottage in a daze.
"Stop!" The team walked forward cautiously, and suddenly screamed, because the fire spirit cat lying on his shoulder kept humming, and the fire spirit cat had a very strong premonition of danger, "Your Excellency, I am just passing by here, planning to settle in the cottage, and I will leave after some repairs, and I will not disturb the cultivation of other monks, and I would like to ask Your Excellency to make it convenient, I am grateful." ”
After saying a polite word, I waited for a long time and there was no response.
"Young Spirit Lord, is there a mistake, this fire spirit cat is not working. Jin Yunzi looked at the fire spirit cat and said.
"Woo~~" The fire spirit cat stared at Jin Yunzi and screamed angrily.
"Just talk, just talk, don't be angry. Jin Yunzi saw that the fire spirit cat was angry, and hurriedly played a round game, after all, he had been barbecued by the fire spirit cat, and he was still very jealous.
"Hey, hey, good cat, go over and bite him!" Ah Niu also coaxed.
"Big guy, don't worry about your business, don't make a fuss. ”
Up to now, the cultivation of Wan Xiao is the highest of the fire spirit cat, Qing Xuan Zhenren second-order spirit master, Hu Sanniang first-order spirit master, Ah Niu first-order spirit master, Jin Yunzi, who just joined, originally had a third-order cultivation, but in the battle against the fire spirit cat, his cultivation was lowered by one order, and now he is a second-order spirit master, and the fire spirit cat already has the strength close to the fourth-order spirit master, Wan Xiao can be ignored, so if there is a danger, the main force is a cat, hey, I am really worried about the future of this team.
After carefully and slowly moving forward, they finally saw the mountains in front of them, and the speed of their progress became even slower.
"I said Jin Yunzi, your guide is too unreliable, and I don't know what the situation is here. Wan Xiao had almost stood still, counting Jin Yunzi as he walked.
"No, according to what I knew before, we should have been attacked by the spirit hunters a long time ago, and at least someone would stop us from moving forward, but now it's not the same as before. Jin Yunzi also stood still like Wan Xiao.
"I said if you remember the wrong place, this is somewhere else. "Qingxuan Zhenren stood still.
"I see that the front is foggy, and it is indeed not quite what you said. Hu Sanniang twisted her waist and stepped in place.
"One-two-one, one-two-one!" Ah Niu stood still, the loudest voice.
The fire spirit cat also stood on Wan Xiao's shoulders, with its front paws raised in a standing position, and also learned to lift their feet alternately and step in place, as if despising them for a bunch of cowards.
When a few people were still walking in place and hesitated to enter the cottage, there was an old man behind him, dressed in tatters, dusty and dirty, with an iron fight in his right hand, staggering step by step, the speed was very slow, but he also surpassed a few people and walked towards the cottage.
Ten thousand people and five people plus the fire spirit cat, twelve eyes opposite.
"What the situation, why is he not afraid. Wan Xiao looked at the old man who walked to the front.
"Hey, old man, this is a spirit hunting cottage, and outsiders can't easily break in. Qing Xuan Zhenren kindly reminded.
When the old man heard Qing Xuanzhen's words, he shook his head and sighed deeply.
"Spirit Hunter Cottage, hey~ It's gone, it's gone!" the old man continued to stagger to himself with some sadness.
"It's gone, what's gone?" Jin Yunzi didn't quite hear what the old man said.
Several people caught up with the old man, wanting to find out what was going on.
"Old gentleman, what you just said is gone, isn't this a spirit hunting cottage?" Jin Yunzi asked the old man.
"It can only be said that this used to be a hunting spirit cottage, but now it is gone, and only a ruin remains. The old man did not stop staggering.
"What's going on?" several people also moved slowly with the old man.
"How come a few of you seem to have jumped out of a stone, how can you not know what the whole Ming Law Continent knows?" the old man looked at a few people, and felt that their questions were asked knowingly.
"Oh, a few of us have been in retreat and cultivation for more than ten years, but we just came out of the customs recently, and I really don't know what happened to us. Jin Yunzi was sloppy.
"I see, then you guys should be careful, about twenty years ago, for some reason, a large number of evil spirit qi appeared in the Mingfa Continent, you see, the Qiyuan Mountain Range in front of you was shrouded in this evil spirit qi. The old man's expression was sad, "The Spirit Hunter Cottage is not spared, it is also invaded by the evil spirit's qi, many spirit hunters are infected by evil spirits, and soon lose consciousness, those with low cultivation die immediately, and those with high points become walking corpses, wandering aimlessly in the mountains all day long. ”
The old man said that tears were already rolling in his eyes.
"The spirit hunters, who had no evil spirits in their bodies, exchanged their life savings for a pass token and left the place eastward through the mountain corridor. There are also some spirit hunters like me who don't have much savings and can't exchange them for passes, so they can only wait here to die. ”
"Can't you pass through the mountain corridor without a passpass?" Wan Xiao asked the most crucial question.
"Indeed, in order to prevent the evil spirit qi from spreading to the east, the eastern end of the mountain corridor has been set up with an enchantment formation, and only those who wear the pass token can enter and exit freely, otherwise they will be blocked out of the enchantment. ”
"How can I get a token?" Wan Xiao continued to ask, it was a matter of whether or not they would be able to get out of here.
"As long as you have sufficient cultivation resources, when you walk out of the mountain corridor, someone at the entrance of the barrier will exchange it for you. The old man pointed to a winding passage in the distance.
Figured out the ins and outs of the matter, unconsciously a few people entered the Hunting Spirit Cottage, everything in front of them is miserable, dilapidated houses, abandoned caves, can be seen everywhere along both sides of the road, it can be imagined that this place was quite prosperous before, from time to time you will see the crooked bones, it seems to feel the pain of their death, this is really a tragedy in the world.
