Chapter Twenty-Four: The Beast Hunting Squad
Several of Xu Mingdong's friends invited the meeting place in the small private room of the Zuixian Building. The place was hidden, and it was a good place to go after eating and talking about things.
The five-storey building rising from the ground in front of you is elegantly decorated, spacious and grand, and the warm luminous stone inside creates a warm atmosphere.
Immortal cultivators rarely talk about things in public, so the small private rooms inside need to be reserved. Xu Mingdong took the three of them directly to the small private room on the second floor.
This room has a soundproof formation, which isolates the divine consciousness and does not reveal everyone's secrets.
As soon as Qiao Yue entered, she saw a beautiful woman who still had charm walking towards her, and the beautiful woman saw Yue Qingyu again, her posture was even more charming to the bones, looking at him with a confused look.
There is a lot of everything in the immortal cultivation world, and Qiao Yue, this strange woman, has seen a lot, and she doesn't care.
The remaining three people in the room were all male cultivators, two of them were wearing black gauze hats, and one of them was tall and thin and had the late stage of qi refining, which could be said to be the highest cultivation person in the room. They covered their faces, presumably not wanting to be seen clearly.
The old man in the other robe is really not small, his hair and beard are gray, and his face is wrinkled. This kind of monk knows at a glance that his longevity is approaching, and he lacks money, so he can only do risky and rewarding work, and exchange some money to buy pills, in case he advances to the next level, he can live for a few days.
Xu Mingdong said a few words to the tall and thin man in the late stage of Qi refining, and introduced it to Qiao Yue and the others.
"This is the captain of our beast hunting team, and he has been in the beast hunting business before, and he is very professional. ”
The thin and tall man arched his hand, and his voice was hoarse, "In Xia Zhao Hao, he is a loose cultivator in Lingyang City, and he has no background." "He doesn't seem to be very old, and he is not very tactful, he speaks straightforwardly, and there is always a kind of arrogance in his words.
Qiao Yue's eyes moved, and she keenly felt that Zhao Hao seemed to have been staring in her direction, which made her back cold.
"Under Wu Zheng. Another black hat clenched his fist at everyone and said in a rough voice.
"In Xia Rong Lingzi, Lingyang City is scattered. The old man in the Taoist robe brushed his beard and smiled very kindly, especially at Qiao Yue, like an elder looking at a junior, showing boundless love and pity.
Qiao Yue was so disgusted that her throat and eyes were blocked, and she quickly turned her head over. Look at her with this kind of eyes and deceive her like a child?
"Hehe......" The enchanting female cultivator smiled and stroked the curly hair on her forehead, her body did not stand up straight, she bent over the back of the chair, and the deep furrow on her chest was exposed, and Yang Yidao that young man couldn't be rectified.
"My name is Feng Chime, hehe......" Feng Chime seemed to see Yang Yidao's small eyes, and tapped his lips with delicate fingers, with an indescribable style.
It was Yue Qingyu's turn to stand next, but Yue Qingyu looked cold, Qiao Yue had no choice but to take over the conversation, "In Xia Lin Lefeng, Lingyang City is scattered." ”
I don't know if it's her delusion, Qiao Yue always thinks that someone under the two black hats keeps watching her, making her feel uncomfortable.
After introducing everyone's identities, everyone had a plan in their hearts, laughed with each other and sat down at the table, and after toasting first, the captain Zhao Hao explained the arrangements for hunting beasts to everyone.
The eight-person beast hunting team, one person in the late stage of qi refining, one person in the early stage of qi refining, and the rest are all in the middle stage of qi refining, so it can be said that the strength is very average, and things are easy to arrange.
Feng Ling'er is good at using poison, and she can stun some demon beasts; Rong Lingzi is a formation mage, who can set up a standing position for them, set up a trapped spirit array, and capture demon beasts; Xu Mingdong has a special skill that can find the nest where demon beasts live in groups.
And the rest of the people, without exception, are good at fighting.
After all, outside Lingyang City is the Snowy Mountain, and there are not only low-level demon beasts in the forest at the foot of the mountain, but also fourth- and fifth-order demon beasts.
However, the eight people who go together may not be able to come back, the main reason is that the eight people may not be able to work together, once there is a competition for selfish interests, this beast hunting team will be finished.
"Don't worry, if something happens, I, Zhao Hao, will definitely guarantee your safety as soon as possible. ”
Zhao Hao said lightly, if a catastrophe is coming, I am afraid that he will run faster than anyone else.
"So, let's discuss the route when the time comes. ”
said that it was a discussion, but in fact, he was the only one who was talking about it, Xu Mingdong and Wu Zheng were familiar with him, so they interjected a few words, and the others just asked some questions that they were interested in, so they didn't say more.
Xu Mingdong is a thoughtful person, and he helped Zhao Hao prepare very well, and the items contacted by a team such as the transmission note and the transmission note were all ready, so he distributed the dozens of spirit beast bags he bought.
Qiao Yue looked at it, the spirit rune was not unusual, she had never seen the spirit beast bag. When I opened the mouth, it was black inside, and my divine sense swept in, and it was also a large space, and it was enough to hold a tiger.
I heard that there are many rare animals in the forest, so she should catch a few for herself and keep them, so that they can be eaten when they are raised.
Just thinking about it, I suddenly heard Zhao Hao ask, "Do you have any questions?"
Everyone shook their heads. Qiao Yue originally wanted to ask, what if she met a sixth- or seventh-order demon beast, but later felt that it was useless to ask, when the time comes, she will run separately when she sees that the situation is not good, and it is a big deal to choose a decent posture for the demon beast to eat.
"Then let's decide when we leave. As Zhao Hao spoke, the hat suddenly leaned towards Qiao Yue, and looked at Qiao Yue meaningfully, "No one wants to retreat, right?"
Of course, this was said to Qiao Yue, and Qiao Yue was not to be outdone, and said with a smile: "As long as I can get the spirit stone, I will also go to something big!"
However, Wu Zheng beside her laughed and kindly warned Qiao Yue: "Lin Daoyou knows that excessive greed for money will cost you your life." ”
This meant something, Qiao Yue turned her head suddenly, and saw that under the black veil, the man was drinking with a wine glass, and inadvertently revealed the lower half of his face.
Her heart flashed, her ears were buzzing, she could hardly believe her eyes, and she quickly took a fan and fanned her face to hide it. "It's really inconvenient to not build a foundation, it's a hot day, and it's so hot that people are almost melting......"
But there is a large piece of ice in the room, which is obviously used to cool down, this room is much cooler than the outside, and besides, she is a qi refining cultivator, she can't be cold and hot, and she won't be unable to stand this bit of heat.
Xu Mingdong frowned slightly and patted Zhao Hao. The two seemed to use their divine senses to transmit sounds, discussing something.
Through the gap in the folding fan, Qiao Yue stared at Wu Zheng tightly, only to see his slender fingers pinching the wine glass, but there was a thick layer of calluses at the tiger's mouth.
This meal was so difficult to eat, Qiao Yue was covered in sweat, and the more she ate, the redder her face became. After eating, a few people got up and left the table, but Qiao Yue was still thinking about things, and the look of being unrelenting made Xu Mingdong secretly amused.
The day of the official beast hunt is tomorrow, and Zhao Hao means that everyone will go back today to prepare. Qiao Yue naturally knew that this hunting beast would definitely not return safely.
At present, it doesn't matter what your identity is, whether you have an enmity or not, once you get involved with the spirit stone, there are many examples of turning your face and not recognizing people.
Packed up everything, even Jin was not let go of Luo Tent Qiao Yue, and carefully checked it, if it weren't for the fact that the table was too big to put into the Qiankun bag, and the spiritual grass in the ground had not yet sprouted, Qiao Yue couldn't wait to empty the entire cave mansion.
After all, hunting beasts is the work of licking blood on the tip of a knife, if she is trapped in the forest and can't get out, but these things are not taken away, wouldn't it be cheap Yaxianju for nothing?
The designated place for the gathering was at the gate of the city, and before dawn on the second morning, Qiao Yue came early, and when she saw Wu Zheng, she smiled friendlyly, and Wu Zheng also nodded at her, which was regarded as a greeting.
After a while, the remaining six people came to the gate of the city, Zhao Hao counted the number of people, and made sure that no one was left behind, so he pointed to the dense forest not far outside the city.
"For the sake of efficiency, let's go separately, in eight directions, but not too far apart, and when we get deeper into the forest, we'll reunite. Xu Mingdong seemed to know that Zhao Hao's leadership was insufficient, so he had to help Zhao Hao deploy. Qiao Yue secretly guessed on the side, Zhao Hao's arrangement yesterday was probably Xu Mingdong's idea.
The crowd scattered and fanned into the forest. Qiao Yue picked a remote direction to enter. At first, I didn't feel anything, but after stepping through a mushroom forest, I was stunned when I saw the sight in front of me.
She used to live in a wide area of the city, but now when she meets this thorny bush, poisonous insects and snakes and scorpions on the ground, and there are often fluorescent flying insects hovering over her head, only a small space can walk, slower than a snail crawling.
She regretted it now, she should have bought an axe or a machete or something, and cut off all the branches that hung her clothes.
There was no way, Qiao Yue could only use her own spell, and the golden light blade flew in front of her, opening a path to the depths of the forest.
This method of consuming spiritual power is actually not advocated, but unfortunately Qiao Yue has no experience in entering the forest, and she has not prepared a sharp weapon. Once the spiritual power is insufficient, it will be very dangerous to encounter demon beasts.
"Whoop, whoop......" Somehow, a bush beside him made a different sound, Qiao Yue's hair stood up in fright, and his divine sense suddenly spread out.
"It's fine. "Fortunately, it's not a powerful thing, it's just a small first-order beast the size of a palm, white and fat, like a ball of meat, and its tail is bigger than its body.
Qiao Yue had never seen this species, and the vines in her hands flew up, and immediately entangled the body of the little demon beast.
It didn't even have the ability to resist at all, it opened a pair of dark round eyes, and looked at Qiao Yue pitifully.
Holding this white and soft little thing in the palm of his hand, I could feel its heart beating violently, its stomach was rising and falling rapidly, and it was shrunk into a lump in fear, and even its little pink ears were hidden under its tail.
What is this? Sure enough, the female cultivator is inherently resistant to furry things, Qiao Yue looked at the little hair ball, such a small thing, the Colosseum will not accept it, it is better to let her keep it and play.
After walking such a long way, Qiao Yue estimated that something should be encountered, so she sat on the ground, set up a defensive formation, and meditated to recover her spiritual power.
Suddenly heard a loud noise during the cultivation, Qiao Yue looked up, and dazzling golden fireworks lit up in the sky in the distance, which was the signal agreed upon by the beast hunting team.
This shows that the rest of the squad has met the big guy!
Qiao Yue's eyes lit up, her palm flipped over, and she held the mountain and river fan tightly in her hand.
