Chapter 276: Footprints
Following Ye Li's gaze, Mu Tianzhi and Huang Jian looked ahead, and sure enough, they saw a crack lying across the mountain wall, which looked very suitable for camping.
"Well, this place is not bad, after all, this was once the territory of the poison bees, and ordinary demon beasts will not enter at will, so it should not be dangerous for us to stay there for one night. ”
Huang Jian, who often participated in hunting, was very familiar with the situation in the mountains, and very much agreed with Ye Li's proposed camping area.
Mu Tianzhi didn't have a problem with this, so the three of them soon came to the crack and camped there.
That night, after eating dry food, the three of them sat down and chatted.
Mu Tianzhi looked at Ye Li and said, "Ye Li, after three months, do you really want to fight against that Wen Tuo?"
After Ye Li thought about it, he nodded and said, "I think it should be, after all, I fought in front of so many people, and I shouldn't break my word." ”
Hearing Ye Li's words, Huang Jian frowned and said, "Brother Ye, although I admire your courage very much, I am still a little worried about you, Wen Tuo's strength is very strong. ”
Ye Li nodded and said, "I know this, but I don't have any choice, since I have already fought the battle, there is no reason to retreat."
I have to prepare well in the past few months, and I can't let these orthodox disciples look down on me when the time comes. ”
Hearing Ye Li's words, Huang Jian and Mu Tianzhi could only express their support, and then told Ye Li that if they needed actual combat practice, both of them were willing to accompany them.
Ye Li was naturally very happy about this, and it was definitely a good thing for him to be able to fight with the two of them.
In the next ten days, Ye Li, Mu Tianzhi and Huang Jian have been constantly trekking in the dark mountains.
They searched for suitable monsters to hunt along the way, but they were not lucky enough to encounter the prey needed for the mission.
For this reason, they can only continue to hunt ordinary demon beasts, pick off valuable parts, and then wait to return them to the sect to earn some bits and pieces of contribution points.
After more than ten days, plus the contribution points they got at the beginning, Ye Li and the three of them had already earned 1,500 points each.
Huang Jian was very satisfied with this harvest, which exceeded the speed he had obtained in the past by hunting alone.
This day was the last day they planned to stay in the mountains, and when the three of them were aimlessly searching around in the mountains, Huang Jian suddenly jumped out slightly, and then lay on the ground to study a palm-sized footprint.
After thinking about it for more than ten days, Ye Li and Mu Tianzhi both knew that Huang Jian had a deep study of demon beasts, so they knew that he must have made a discovery.
The two of them dodged, and then stuck to Huang Jianjian's side, and while guarding him around, he looked at the footprints on the ground.
Ye Li looked at the footprints for a long time, and only knew that the owner of the footprints must be a small demon beast, and he didn't know anything about it.
And Huang Jian said with excitement on his face: "Obediently, we have found something amazing!"
Hearing his words, Ye Li and Mu Tianzhi both looked puzzled, and then opened their mouths to ask what he meant.
Huang Jian glanced at the two of them mysteriously, and then explained, "Have you two ever heard of the Drill Marten?"
Hearing Huang Jian's inquiry, Ye Li was slightly stunned, and said, "I've heard of the Drill Mountain Mink, it is a demon beast in the early stage of the séance, is this footprint its own?"
Huang Jian nodded and said, "Yes, this is the footprint of the drill mink." ”
Mu Tianzhi's face at this time already showed an excited expression, and said, "Brother Huang, you mean that there is a drill mink here, that's really good!"
Listening to Mu Tianzhi's words, the fog in Ye Li's mind became even thicker, and he grabbed the shoulders of the two of them, and said, "What are you two mysterious about, isn't this just an ordinary demon beast, why are you so surprised?"
Seeing that Ye Li didn't know the purpose of the Drill Mountain Mink, Mu Tianzhi immediately opened his mouth to explain to him: "Ye Li, the Drill Mountain Marten is a kind of demon beast that is very good at drilling holes and drilling mountains.
The realm of this demon beast is indeed not high, it is only at the beginning of the séance period, and it is not a good prey for the three of us.
However, this demon beast has a very powerful characteristic, that is, it drills holes and crosses mountains to find natural treasures.
It is precisely because of the existence of this characteristic that it is a treasure for all alchemists, once domesticated, it can help our alchemists to go to the mountains to collect medicines, not only is it easier to find good things, but also the mining speed is much faster than ours. ”
Hearing Mu Tianzhi's explanation, Ye Li realized that this kind of demon beast was a powerful medicine boy, which could help the Dan Master a lot, but for their ordinary spirit rune masters, it was of little use.
"Brother Mu is right, I have seen it in the task list before, there is an alchemy elder in the door looking for the drill mink, and he has used this to release a private task.
Once we've completed the mission, everyone will be rewarded with a thousand contribution points, do you think I should be excited?"
Hearing his words, Ye Li and Mu Tianzhi's eyes suddenly lit up.
"One...... 1,000 contribution points, this ...... That's too much, isn't it?"
Mu Tianzhi stammered a little.
Huang Jian smiled and said, "This is not much, after all, we need to catch the live drill mink back, so the difficulty is not small."
The demon beast is extremely fast, and cunning, and generally has three exits from its nest.
Among the three of us, Brother Mu and I are very slow, and the only person who can really pursue the drill marten is Ye Li.
Therefore, we have to set up a big trap and then catch it, otherwise once we alarm the drill marten in advance, it will be difficult for us to catch it again. ”
As for hunting techniques, Huang Jian was the tallest of the three, and Ye Li and Mu Tianzhi were both very humble and standing next to them to learn.
Huang Jian said: "Judging from the freshness of this footprint, this burrowing mink should have just passed through here, and if there is a nest in front of it, then it must be in the nest."
As I said earlier, there must be three exits to the mink's nest, so to catch it, we have to block two of the three exits, leaving only one way for it to escape.
Of the three of us, only Brother Ye has the ability to catch it, so you'll have to lie in ambush near where the mink really came out, and then find a way to catch it.
I can't deduce what the current situation is, so let's go and investigate the situation first, and then discuss countermeasures to see if we can catch this guy.
Once we catch it, we'll make a fortune this time. ”
