22 Chapter XXII
On the second day of the autumn hunt, at noon, Mo Nanai stopped Qin Gu.
"That, Senior Brother Qin," Mo Nanai bit her lip, as if her next words made her feel unspeakable, "Our dry food is almost finished. β
As early as the beginning of the autumn hunt, everyone agreed on how to distribute the dry food - it was handed over to a fixed person in the team for safekeeping.
And Monetay, because of the delicacy and seriousness he showed, was inevitably entrusted with important tasks.
Regarding the urgency of dry food, Qin Gu had actually expected it.
As early as when he got the bag of dry food, he felt that the portions were too light;
But he never imagined that it was only noon the next day, and the dry food would be finished.
He didn't want to go hungry to fight the nine-eyed snake!
Seeing that he didn't speak, Mo Nainai's head was buried lower, and tears rolled in his eyes: "I'm sorry, Senior Brother Qin, it's all my fault... If only I hadn't taken out that much at once yesterday..."
Most of their spiritual power was sealed by the immortal boat, and without the spiritual power in the body to support daily consumption, almost all of them became easily hungry, and supplementing food was particularly important.
Qin Gu shook his head and patted Mo Nainai's shoulder: "It's not your problem, if I'm not wrong..."
The Immortal Alliance probably did it on purpose.
After all, the autumn hunt is not only a competition between monks, but also a test for the younger generation of the Immortal Alliance.
It's just a test of cultivation and skill, a test of survivability...
To be honest, Qin Gu didn't have much confidence in this group of people, including himself.
Qin Gu clapped his hands, gathered everyone, and truthfully informed him of the urgent matter of dry food, including his own speculation, of course.
Lin Yin: "Huh? He bewitched: "Then we still have to make our own fire and cook?" What the hell are you kidding, this place of the hell..."
As he spoke, a group of people looked around together.
The wind howled, like an abandoned baby crying;
The woods shook, and out of nowhere, a monster would emerge.
Qin Gu finished the second half of Lin Yin's sentence in his heart: This ghost place is really a bird that doesn't.
Mo Naine was still careful, and whispered: "When I went to fetch water yesterday, I saw that there seemed to be fish in the lake..."
Everyone's eyes were focused on her at once, Moneta blushed, and waved his hand desperately: "But I, I can't fish..."
The air fell silent again, and between hunting monsters and fishing, this group of young monks would not hesitate to choose the former.
Suddenly, a calm voice sounded: "I will." β
The appearance of this voice was like a heavenly sound, and everyone looked at it together, and it was Ji Yun who spoke;
Ji Yun glanced at the others, and his gaze focused on Qin Gu without any deviation.
Qin Gu was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted.
Ji Yun had a difficult life when he was a child, and when the disciples of the family had already begun to cultivate, Ji Yun was helping his adoptive parents chop wood and cook, trying his best to supplement the family.
So fishing, it's not difficult for him.
"If Senior Brother needs it," Ji Yun said seriously, "just leave it to me." β
After thinking about it, he added: "I can do it alone, and it will get in the way of others going together." β
Others in the way: ...
It was impossible to refute it.
Qin Gu coughed dryly: "I don't feel at ease if you go alone, I'll try not to hold you back." β
Ji Yun's expression was confused: "Senior brother, I didn't mean that. β
Qin Gu said: "Of course I know, let's go, let's catch fish." β
What is this stupid kid nervous about?
After thinking for a moment, he looked at Lin Yin again... Black Hawk on the shoulder.
Qin Gu smiled brightly: "Senior Brother Lin, you also come." β
He has always been very self-aware, if you want to make a fishing list for everyone present, Ji Yun ranks first, and Black Eagle must be a well-deserved second.
Plants and trees grow near the water, and where there are trees, the water source must not be too far away.
The black eagle circled in the air, letting out a few chirps, and Qin Gu looked at it, and a blue lake appeared in front of him.
The lake is wide and calm, as if the world is divided into two with the sky, and the water vapor blows in the wind, with a rare coolness.
Ji Yun took off his shoes, put them aside, walked barefoot to the lake, and waited for the other two to follow.
Lin Yin looked at the silt by the lake dumbfounded: "Are you kidding?" It's too dirty, I don't want it. β
Qin Gu had already rolled up his trouser legs, kicked off his shoes, and stepped on them.
The moist mud covers the surface of the feet, sticky, and splashes black mud spots on the plain white skin.
Qin Gu turned to Lin Yin and said, "It's quite comfortable, try it?" β
Lin Yin glared at his feet that were stuck in the mud, and rubbed his hind legs for a few steps: "You, Qin Gu, have you been taken away?" I won't try..."
He turned around suddenly, quite like a desert and fled: "Do you still want to roast and eat the fish after catching it?" I'm going to pick up some branches. β
Qin Gu shouted at his back with a sneer: "Eagle! Eagle stays! β
Lin Yin seemed to curse from afar, and the black eagle flew up from his shoulder, glided for a moment, and stopped on Qin Gu's outstretched arm.
Ji Yun calmly retracted his gaze and approached, Black Eagle's beanie eyes rolled and quietly moved his steps.
It can be described as a deep psychological shadow.
Qin Gu didn't see it, he tied his robe around his waist, and he really looked like he was catching a fish: "What should I do?" Please also ask the junior and younger brothers to give advice. β
There was a bit of helplessness in Ji Yun's eyes, he and Qin Gu have been inseparable all these years, and naturally he knows that when he shouldn't be serious, Qin Gu has always been not serious.
He thought for a moment, walked slowly a few steps closer to the lake, and slowly released a few wisps of spiritual breath.
Lingxi explored in the lake, Ji Yun sensed it for a moment, and frowned: "There are a lot of fish in the lake, but I don't know why... All in a location close to the lake. β
Qin Gu followed and looked over, in the clear lake water, there were indeed faint shadows of fish, and the sunlight shone down, and the shadows of the fish were empty.
The black eagle flapped its wings on his shoulders and flew silently into the air, like a roving ship.
Qin Gu didn't know anything about fishing, and Ji Yun didn't say anything, the two of them moved forward left and right, the lake water overflowed the instep, and the cold was biting.
Wait a minute.
Why is the lake so cold at noon when the sun is shining?
As this thought flashed through him, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that the surface of the lake had rippled, and the ripples became wider and wider, spreading throughout the lake;
Huge shadows emerge from the ripples.
Qin Gu was shocked and shouted at Ji Yun: "Xiao Yun, get out of the way!" β
The words fell, and the pouring water pounced, but it was not raining, butβ
The neck of the demon beast sticks out of the water, setting off a stormy wave!
Qin Gu had already been prepared, and flashed sideways, but the next moment, he was shocked to find that this demon beast actually had three necks!
Saying that it was too late, the other neck smashed hard, but fortunately, the heavy neck caused the movement to be slow, Qin Gu jumped backwards and dodged to the shore without danger.
The black eagle sounded an alarm in the air, and Qin Gu wiped away the water droplets on his face and carefully examined this strange demon beast.
The three flat heads of the demon beast were extremely small compared to the excessively long neck, which was particularly unbalanced.
All three of its necks poked out of the water, but it didn't know how large its body was, and just looking at the surface of the skin covered with fish scales, mucus was constantly dripping from the cracks in the scales, smashing small pits of white smoke in the dirt.
Qin Gu recognized this monster, it was called the three-headed dragon-necked beast, it often haunted around the fishing village, and its greatest aggression came from the poisonous slime under its skin.
The three-headed dragon-necked beast let out a disturbed roar, its teeth densely packed all over its mouth, and if it was bitten, it would never escape without losing a piece of meat.
Unexpectedly, such a dangerous demon beast was put in the water, the Immortal Alliance didn't really want them to eat grass, right?
With a sigh, Hengqiu came out of the sheath, although his spiritual power was limited, but when he built the Hengqiu Sword, he used Tianshan meteoric iron, and it was easy to sharpen iron like mud.
As for the weakness of the three-headed dragonneck, according to the book, its skull, especially the area of the Celestial Spirit, is particularly vulnerable.
Therefore, three heads were born, and the neck was so long below, just to prevent the top of the skull from being attacked.
The weakness is there, but...
Visually, the neck of the three-headed dragon-necked beast was as tall as a three-story building, and it didn't know how its brain worked, but the three heads also knew how to cooperate with each other, expanding their field of vision to 360 degrees.
How good is that?
While dodging the slime of the demon beast, Qin Gu kept smashing the stones on the ground at the other party, trying to disperse the tight defense.
Suddenly, he heard a flapping of wings.
His eyes lit up, and regardless of whether the black eagle could understand it or not, Qin Gu shouted, "Grab its eyes!" β
At the same time, the Hengqiu Sword plunged into the mud, the power tilted to his right arm, and Qin Gu swung out a sword violently, lifting up the sludge all over the ground, forming a curtain that covered the sky and the sun under the action of spiritual power.
Taking advantage of the limited vision of the three-headed dragon-necked beast, the black eagle flew high suddenly, and then fell extremely fast, and the two sharp claws were fiercely inserted into the eyes of the demon beast.
Hearing only the sound of "poof", the demon beast that ate pain began to frantically shake its neck, Qin Gu and Ji Yun both jumped back, and glanced at each other in the gap between mud and water.
Here's your chance!
Qin Gu raised his hand violently, but directly threw the Hengqiu Sword in the direction of the three-headed dragon-necked beast, and the sword flew out smoothly without the slightest bump;
Ji Yun stepped forward at the same time and jumped -
The neck of the demon beast was too long, and it might not be able to reach a height of more than ten meters with a jump, but at the moment when the body fell, Qin Gu's sword flew right under Ji Yun's body, and Ji Yun lightly pointed at the tip of the sword to borrow force, and the whole person immediately took off.
He drew his sword as he was in the air, and the saber slammed into the top of the skull of one of the monsters' heads!
Not to the end, the core exerted force, Ji Yun turned over and jumped on top of the demon beast like a vigorous beast tamer, and with an unobstructed field of vision, he shouted to Qin Gu below: "Senior brother, right!" β
The sand and lake water continued to rise in the painful struggle of the demon beast, Qin Gu waited for the Hengqiu Sword to fly back into the master's hand, followed Ji Yun's guidance to avoid all kinds of flying obstacles, and took advantage of the neck of the three-headed dragon-necked beast to press against him, and jumped up with unmistakable precision-
The Hengqiu Sword stabbed straight into the Heavenly Spirit Cover, the sound of bones shattering and falling to the ground sounded at the same time, and the last head of the three-headed dragon-necked beast was nailed to the ground.
The lake churned for a moment, and then it was completely calm.
The three-headed dragon-necked beast had been killed, and the head of the field let out a burst of exclamation, and the rankings of Qin Gu and Ji Yun advanced several places at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"It's worthy of being from the Drinking Maple Pavilion," the head of a small sect was full of envy, "It seems that they disdain to pursue ordinary monsters." β
No one knew they were just trying to catch fish.
But even if accidents happen, there are still surprises.
The final struggle of the three-headed dragon-necked beast caused many fish to be lifted ashore, Qin Gu pulled out his sword, and when he looked back, the ground was full of fish fluttering hard.
He laughed loudly: "Is this a windfall?" β
Ji Yun jumped down from the demon beast, and while picking up the fish, he said, "Senior brother, look at the luster of the scales of these fish, the brighter they are,..."
Qin Gu picked up a string of fish like him, and there was no place to hang it, so he strung it on the Hengqiu Sword first.
When the fish were skewered, Hengqiu Jian seemed to hum, as if he was very dissatisfied.
Qin Gu touched the hilt of the sword to appease him, and walked towards Ji Yun: "Is that so?" Look if that's enough for tonightβ"
At this time, a strong fish is desperately trying to return to the lake.
And Qin Gu didn't notice it, and stepped on it.
The scales are smooth and the center of gravity is steep.
Before he pounced, he only had time to turn the blade of his sword so as not to hurt anyone, but he had no extra hand to keep his balance;
And Ji Yun didn't retreat for some reason, the two of them collided together, and they both fell into the mud.
Since the spiritual power protection body, Qin Gu hadn't fallen so embarrassed for a long time, and he was dizzy for a while.
When the eyes refocused, he looked at the purple eyes that seemed to be smiling at Ji Yun.
Looking down again, he was kneeling on Ji Yun's body, his legs were just straddled the other party's thin waist, and Ji Yun slightly propped up his upper body, and those who didn't know looked at it, as if he had knocked Ji Yun down.
... Although the facts do not make a difference.
He was smiling awkwardly and getting up when he heard a loud scream in his ears.
Qin Gu turned his head and saw that a large handful of branches that Lin Yin was holding had all fallen to the ground, looking at them in amazement.
Qin Gu hurriedly stood up: "You listen to me..."
Lin Yin waved his hand: "No, no, no, don't explain, I understand, I understand, I'm a very open-minded person." β
Qin Gu: ...
What the hell do you kid understand?
