Chapter 271: The Hunting Party
After Shi Changming drew two "Mu Yuan Shields", the "rune water" mixed in the inkstone had bottomed out, Liu Yu hurriedly put down the pen in his hand, asked for "beast blood" and "crystal powder" from Shi Changming, and prepared a new "rune water" again.
At the time, Shi Changming drew the eighth "Mu Yuan Shield", and saw that it was getting late outside, so he got up and sent the finished spirit rune to the "Guiyi Hall", and Liu Yu went out of the backyard of the Thousand Fu Building.
At this moment, after several days of trekking, Jiang Yin and the six people rushed back to the "Big Pear Cave", where a middle-aged man in a tiger skin coat and an old man with a goatee were left behind.
Seeing that Jiang Yin and the others had returned safely, the two of them let go of their worries, and there was a burst of laughter in the cave.
This hunting team is led by the middle-aged man Zhao Hongliang and consists of a total of eight people, Zhao Hongliang's wife Jiang Yin, nephew Zhao Tian, the old goatee Feng Yu and his granddaughter Feng Yurong, Huang Bin and Ma Dajiang, who often quarrel over trivial matters, and Han Fei, who is newly joined and has an angry bookish face.
Everyone sat around a long stone table in the hall of the cave, Jiang Yin took out the good wine and food brought back from Beiluancheng, Zhao Hongliang hurriedly took a pot of "daughter red", first poured a bowl for Feng Yu, and then poured a bowl for himself, Zhao Hongliang has not touched a drop of wine for nearly a month.
"Sister Yin, this trip is going well!" Zhao Hongliang took a sip and asked with a happy face.
Jiang Yin chuckled and said, "Don't worry! ”
Jiang Yin led the team to Beiluancheng this time, selling the prey that had been hoarded for half a year, and replenishing daily necessities by the way, and then met Liu Yu who was setting up a stall in Wuhu Square.
Zhao Tian, a one-armed man, handed the big knife in his hand to Zhao Hongliang and showed off: "Uncle Liang, look at the "Iron-backed Bear King Knife" that your little nephew bought. ”
"High-grade fine iron forging, sharp and heavy, not bad, how many spirit stones?" Zhao Hongliang looked at it carefully and asked.
Zhao Tian hurriedly said: "I only spent seven hundred low-grade spirit stones, aunt, and I also helped Uncle Liang buy a bottle of "Bicao Dan", and the stall owner only costs seven low-grade spirit stones for one grain." ”
"Oh, that's not expensive. Zhao Hong said with a bright eye.
After a sumptuous dinner, Zhao Hongliang's uncle and nephew, the old man Feng Yu and Han Fei went out of the cave and began to "patrol the mountains".
The other four stayed in the cave mansion and devoted themselves to cultivation, waiting until the day to take turns to replace Zhao Hongliang and the four of them, and continue to "patrol the mountain".
There are countless hunting teams like this in the Black and White Mountains, these people often stay in the deep mountains, practice with the help of the rich spiritual energy in the mountains, and at the same time hunt all kinds of spirit beasts that haunt them and earn spirit stones.
Most of the members of these hunting teams are casual cultivators with low cultivation, and it is too dangerous to practice alone in the mountains, so they huddle together to keep warm and form a small team, so that they can improve their own safety, and they can also hunt fierce spirit beasts together and earn some cultivation resources.
Take the "Lishan Team" led by Zhao Hongliang as an example, he himself is a seventh-level Qi practitioner, his wife Jiang Yin is a sixth-level Qi practitioner, and the old man Feng Yu is a seventh-level Qi cultivator, leaving five people, except for Han Fei, who is a fifth-level Qi practitioner, the other four are only four-level Qi practitioners.
Such a group of low-level casual cultivators, who want to cultivate in the treacherous black and white mountains, can only get together to deter those with ill intentions.
It's just that such a hunting team, where can the overall strength be high, and it is also exposed to various risks, so several adjacent or good hunting teams will form a "hunting group".
The "Lishan Team" led by Zhao Hongliang belongs to a medium-sized hunting group "Qingyan", which is composed of six hunting teams and occupies hundreds of miles of mountains and forests centered on Qingyan Peak.
The number of members of each hunting team is about ten, and there is a main hunting team "Qingya", and the team members are all above the eighth level of qi training, and the captain is a great perfection of qi training and strong strength.
In the vast mountains, there are hundreds of hunting groups like "Blue Eyes", distributed in all corners of the mountain range, each occupying a territory, not invading each other, of course, sometimes for the sake of territory, spirit beasts, etc., it is inevitable to fight bloodily.
The "Lishan Team" is stationed on the periphery of the territory of the hunting group, mainly including a pear-shaped mountain range including a mountain forest, the elixir of the last year in this mountain forest has long been looted, Zhao Hongliang and others The only source of spirit stones is to hunt those spirit beasts that wander alone, such as mountain wolves, flower forest leopards, forest tigers and so on.
As for whether there can be a harvest, it all depends on the will of heaven, and after one or two months, it may be possible to get lucky enough to hunt a large spirit beast.
The situation of most of the hunting teams in the Black and White Mountains was similar to that of the "Lishan Team", the members of the hunting team took the risk of hunting spirit beasts, and only seven or eight hundred low-level spirit stones were recorded in a year.
Of course, these casual cultivators joined the hunting team, and the most important thing was to come for the peace of mind, and to be able to stay in the mountains with abundant spiritual power to practice with peace of mind, which was much stronger than earning some spirit stones.
The mountains and forests under the night, revealing a trace of gloom, from time to time there is a squirming movement, a small pool, a few wild deer are bowing their heads to drink, and a male deer is raising its head to watch around.
Suddenly, a black shadow burst out, and several wild deer suddenly scattered and fled, but a young wild deer, panicked and pounced on by the black shadow, let out a miserable low roar, and the thick smell of blood quickly spread.
The black shadow is a vigorous mountain leopard, biting the neck of the fawn, pressing on the body of the fawn, until the fawn completely loses movement, then gets up and picks up the body of the fawn, disappears into the dark night, and the surroundings are silent again.
On the thick branches of a dense tree next to it, there were two figures, one old and one young, it was Feng Yu and Han Fei who were "patrolling the mountain". The two of them were silent, quietly watching the scene in front of them, looking a little indifferent.
After a pillar of incense, there was still no movement around, Feng Yu sighed and said, "Let's go! Go to the next place!", the two stayed in this waterhole for nearly an hour, and found no trace of any spirit beasts, only some ordinary beasts came to drink.
The two of them jumped through the dense forest and rushed to another waterhole, waking up many sleeping birds. Soon the two of them came to a large rock, and not far away was a half-moon-shaped pool.
"Xiao Fei, what's wrong?'s trouble?" Feng Yu couldn't help but ask when he saw that Han Fei had been gloomy since he came back from Beiluan City, looking like he was submissive.
Han Fei shook his head and said, "Uncle Feng, it's nothing, it's just a little upset. ”
"I heard Rong'er say, you sold the talisman pen that Old Man Han left for you?" Feng Yu saw that Han Fei didn't want to elaborate, so he asked about another matter.
Han Fei looked bitter, took a deep breath and said, "Yes, Grandpa's talisman pen was replaced by me with a spirit stone. I..."
"It's sold well, Old Man Han is gone, it's useless to keep the talisman pen, it should have been sold and replaced with pills, and you should improve your cultivation as soon as possible." Old man Han knows underground, and he must want you to do the same!" Feng Yu didn't wait for Han Fei to finish speaking, and then opened his mouth to persuade.
Seeing that Feng Bo had misunderstood, Han Fei opened his mouth to explain that he sold the "Fire Crown Pen" left by his grandfather not because he wanted to buy pills and quickly improve his cultivation, but because he had a hard time. But in the end, he still didn't say it, so as not to worry Feng Yu.
