Chapter Ninety-Seven: Deadwood Demon Beast
It took half a day to build the camp and set up the circle.
With Li Yunniang and Zhu Youdao's formation cultivation, the camp was built to be extremely safe, even if they encountered demon beasts that could not be defeated, they could hold on for a moment with the magic circle, and they would have a chance to escape.
After the camp was built, Xie Xiaohong took everyone out to look for demon beasts and spiritual objects.
There are many demon beasts in the Demon Mist Canyon, and soon after everyone goes out, they encounter a first-order mid-grade hedger demon beast.
Zhu Youdao said: "Yunxing, you go to practice!"
Zhu Yunxing said yes, the light on his body flashed, blessed himself with various spirit runes, and rushed forward.
Looking at Zhu Yunxing's decent performance, Zhu Youdao nodded again and again.
Most low-level demon beasts do not have high intelligence, and they can't use spells and magic weapons, unless there are some ancient relics with special talents, ordinary demon beasts can't fight human monks of the same level.
Of course, some casual cultivators who lack fighting methods and magic weapons can't fight demon beasts of the same level.
The Zhu family monk obviously did not lack magic weapons and spirit runes, and after a while, Zhu Yunxing solved the thorn rat demon beast and returned victoriously.
The group continued to search, and after half an hour, they found a first-order mid-grade wild boar demon beast.
"Youhui, you're polite! This wild boar is handed over to you!" Zhu Youdao commanded.
Zhu Youli held a frying pan and looked very nervous.
Although Zhu Youhui is a girl, she is calm and capable, and after blessing herself with a few spirit runes, she took the lead in killing it with a frying pan.
Zhu Youli hurriedly followed.
Naturally, the others would not go up to help, they just wanted to hone the two who left the house for the first time.
The first-order middle-grade demon beast was naturally not the opponent of Zhu Youhui and the others, but it was just a tea kung fu, and Zhu Youli dragged the hind legs of the wild boar demon back, with an excited face.
Zhu Youdao first praised the two of them, then his face sank, and said, "Polite, you memorize our Zhu family's battle mantra!"
Zhu Youli's face was bitter, knowing that his performance must have failed to satisfy his eldest brother. He honestly memorized it: "There are thousands of fighting methods, the first one to save your life, you don't defend yourself before the war, and your relatives are in tears......"
Zhu Youdao said angrily: "Since you remember, why didn't I see you use protective means! You see Youhui, before she fought, she blessed herself with the Vajra Talisman, the Divine Talisman, and the Phantom Talisman! What about you, you didn't add anything, and went up like this, if your opponent was me, I would have died under the flying knife in the ground!"
Zhu Youli bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "I know, big brother, every time there is a battle in the future, I will do a good job of protection first!"
Zhu Youdao nodded, and said earnestly: "The lion fights the rabbit, Shang is still going all out, since it is a battle, no matter whether you win or lose, you must put your life first! Big brother, I am walking outside, and at least ten people who have cultivated higher than me have died under my knife because they have not done any protection! How do you know that others do not have similar means? You must remember this!"
Zhu Youhui and Zhu Youli hurriedly nodded yes.
After educating the two younger siblings, the group continued to search!
......
On the first day of arriving in the canyon, the Zhu family and his party hunted and killed four demon beasts, collected more than a dozen spirit grasses, and one first-order high-grade spirit tree.
Because he wanted to practice his hands for his family, Zhu Youdao didn't let Xie Xiaohong make a move.
Back at the camp guarded by the circle, everyone worked together to simply deal with the hunted monsters, skinning, bleeding, cutting flesh, and deboning......
Most parts of the body of the demon beast are useful to the monks, the animal skin can be used for refining weapons, and it can also be used to make talismans; the blood of the beast is the raw material for making dansha, and the blood of some demon beasts can also be used for alchemy; the animal bones can be used for refining, and some can be used for alchemy; as for the meat of the demon beast, the delicious ones are naturally reserved as ingredients, and the bad ones are reserved as bait to attract demon beasts!
Zhu Youdao fully squeezed the residual value of each demon beast, and finally found that although the harvest was quite rich, minus the battle loss, the Zhu family was almost at a loss.
There is no other reason, it is that Zhu Youhui and Zhu Youli used a large number of spirit runes in the battle, and if these spirit runes are calculated according to the market price, they are almost the same as the demon beasts they hunt.
For example, one of the pangolin beasts, Zhu Youhui took the initiative to ask to fight with it, and Zhu Youdao admired her courage and agreed.
This pangolin beast is a first-order mid-grade, known for its defense, and Zhu Youhui used more than thirty spirit runes in this battle to grind it to death.
These more than 30 spirit runes, if according to the market price, are worth a total of 1,200 spirit stones, and the pangolin beast was badly destroyed by the spirit rune tactics, and its body was seriously damaged, and after decomposition, it is estimated that the value is less than 1,000 spirit stones!
The other demon beasts were slightly better, but they didn't make much money, but fortunately, in addition to the demon beasts, they also harvested more than a dozen spirit grasses, which can be regarded as making up for this part of the loss.
Zhu Youdao did not correct the Zhu family's excessive use of spirit runes, he believed that this was the essence of spirit rune tactics, using powerful firepower to crush the enemy, even if the gains and losses were not proportional, as long as the victory was achieved, it was worth it.
For the Zhu family, the efficiency of using engraving to make talismans is unparalleled, and the cost is controlled at a very low level, and the biggest problem is that they dare not let go of their hands and feet to sell.
If you lose some of the spirit runes and convert them into other resources, such as the materials on the demon beast, even if you lose money, it is worth doing.
After dealing with the day's harvest, the seven members of the Zhu family summarized the experience they had gained together, and everyone was in the magic circle and began to complete the day's cultivation homework.
Zhu Youdao's daily cultivation is still the same as the old three: cultivating the Pure Yang Boy Gong, cultivating and refining the Kiev Dan, and refining the Flying Knife in the Retreat, his mana has reached the peak of Qi training, and there is no room for growth, but with the consumption and recovery of the spirit pill and magic weapon sacrifice, the mana is becoming more and more refined.
A month later, after the search of the area around the first camp was completed, the Zhu family and his party began to move deeper into the canyon to find a suitable place to set up a second camp.
Along the way, unless you encounter a monster with a relatively large value, you can avoid it, and if you can't avoid it, you will kill it, there are many monsters in the demon fog canyon, and you can't kill it, so you naturally have to choose a valuable one to hunt.
Zhu Youdao has always been in the protective circle of everyone, because he knows that once a demon beast attacks, the target must be himself. Who let him who has practiced Tongzigong be a walking ginseng fruit!
As he passed through a pine forest, an inexplicable sense of unease suddenly rose in his heart.
At the same time, Xie Xiaohong also sensed that something was wrong.
Zhu Youdao quietly made a gesture, and everyone in the Zhu family began to take their places, forming a formation, protecting Zhu Ganglie and Zhu Youdao in the middle.
Xie Xiaohong searched carefully with his divine sense, but did not detect the source of the danger.
Zhu Youdao reminded with his divine sense: "Upper left front, dead wood!"
Although he didn't see any demon beasts with his green eyes, he saw that a piece of dead wood actually exuded powerful wood spiritual power.
Xie Xiaohong slashed towards the left front with a flying sword, she didn't use the flame snake orb she was best at, in the depths of this canyon, the use of fire snakes was too eye-catching, and it was easy to attract demon beasts to gather.
The flying sword slashed at the dead wood, but it was only less than three inches in, and the dead wood let out an angry hiss, and the sound was like a leather drum that had leaked the wind, making an uncomfortable empty sound.
The dead wood suddenly stretched out seven or eight bamboo-like legs and feet, and instantly climbed down from the canopy, staring at Zhu Youdao fiercely with a pair of big green eyes, but turning a blind eye to the others!
"Be careful, this is a deadwood beast!" Zhu Youdao shouted.
"Second Order!" Xie Xiaohong added, slashing with the flying sword again.
Her sword slashed into the air, and the deadwood beast disappeared from the spot in an instant, and at the same time appeared at the root of the big tree three zhang away from Zhu Youdao, and came straight to Zhu Youdao.
Zhu Youdao had already prepared, and a golden light flashed on his body, but it was he who used a second-order golden armor talisman.
"It will be a wooden escape! Cloth Five Elements Lock Spirit Array!" Li Yunniang shouted, and everyone in the Zhu family took out a formation flag.
Zhu Youdao hid in the magic circle, the deadwood beast chased after him, and Xie Xiaohong also chased into the magic circle.
When Zhu Youdao walked out of the circle from the other side, the deadwood beast was already trapped in the array.
Zhu Youdao wiped the cold sweat, and it was not pleasant to be chased by the second-order demon beast as a ginseng fruit.
