Chapter 103: Victory in the First Battle
According to the plan, the road ahead needed to avoid some densely populated places to minimize the risk of possible exposure, so several people walked between the wasteland and the hills.
Without the cover of tall trees, the surrounding situation can be fully seen, coupled with the Ink Feather Eagle hovering in the air, under the contrast between the two, they should not have too many worries about safety at this time.
Seeing that a few people were looking around, obviously still looking suspicious, Ding Zhengyi also understood that his explanation just now still cast a shadow on them after all.
Everyone knows the truth of overreach, and Ding Zhengyi is no exception, in order to enliven the atmosphere, he took the lead in chatting in time.
After that, the group of five people seized this rare free time, constantly exchanging their opinions and opinions on cultivation, and occasionally commenting on the unique scenery around them, and the nervous mood gradually eased.
However, from the moment he entered the first hill, Ding Zhengyi put on a talisman jade pendant, and held the armor-breaking cone tightly in his hand, while reminding several people to pay more attention, he was highly concentrated, constantly sensing the wind and grass around him.
The patriarch pointed out the general direction, and Ding Zhengyi combined the specific route refined by the terrain, in order to meet the requirements of avoiding people's ears, there was obviously no ready-made road to take.
The five of them were walking slowly through the knee-high weeds, and from time to time they had to avoid the vines and bushes that were all over the hills, and the unknown dangers that they needed to watch out for at all times, all of which cost them a great deal of energy.
Along the way, the trees are intertwined and leafy, and the forest seems to be quiet and peaceful, and the sun shines through the canopy, casting countless stars on them.
At this time, the effectiveness of Mo Yuying's reconnaissance was greatly reduced, so under the leadership of Ding Zhengyi, several people moved forward cautiously, and even their steps were very careful, trying not to make too much noise.
After walking for more than half an hour, the hill had already been climbed more than halfway.
At this moment, Ding Zhengyi, who was walking in front, suddenly made a gesture and immediately stopped, because he found that there was a faint fluctuation of demonic qi in front of him.
However, in its powerful divine soul induction, this demonic aura was extremely weak.
Seeing that Ding Zhengyi made a gesture that was not dangerous, the people behind him also slowly moved towards him, and continued to move for a while, and a black-haired demon pig with a length of more than a foot appeared not far from them.
This black-haired demon pig is on par with the green-armored cow in terms of strength, but they are all evolved from beasts, so their strength is not strong, and their growth is extremely limited.
However, unlike the Qingjia Cow, which can be used to cultivate the spiritual field, the Black-Haired Demon Pig is almost useless except for being edible, so its value is not high.
Even if its meat quality is still delicious, the average small Xiuzhen family rarely raises it when resources and manpower are extremely limited.
After continuing to sense for a while, Ding Zhengyi confirmed that there were no other safety hazards around, and he was completely relieved.
Just as he was about to activate the armor-piercing cone and kill it with one blow, Ding Zhengyi suddenly thought that this black-haired demon pig was just a first-level demon beast, and it was just right to use it to train the four people next to him for the first time.
So Ding Zhengyi decisively dismissed the idea of taking action in person, and then he gestured twice to the few people around him, signaling them to cooperate in the drill according to the original plan.
The four people behind were already gearing up, with an impatient expression, and when they saw Ding Zhengyi's signal, they immediately took out their magic weapons, and after a brief exchange of glances, they slowly walked towards the black-haired demon pig.
Except for Ding Zhengping holding a shield, the other three were all low-level long sword magic weapons that were standard in the family, although the cold light was shining and it looked extremely sharp, but if the spiritual pressure was there, it was naturally embarrassing and useful.
The unspoken actions of the four people were extremely unfamiliar, and in Ding Zhengyi's eyes, they were full of mistakes, although they tried very hard to control them, the movement was obviously not small.
This made the sluggish black-haired demon pig also feel a hint of crisis, it shook its head and sniffed twice, and then slammed the ground uneasily, and suddenly rushed out, it happened to face Ding Zhengfeng who was holding a long sword.
With a miserable scream of "whoosh", the black-haired demon pig was stabbed by Ding Zhengfeng with a sword, but compared to the body of the demon beast, the damage of the low-level magic weapon was a little unsatisfactory.
The few inches long flesh wound obviously did not reach the level of affecting the movement of the black-haired demon pig, which only aroused its wildness, prompting it to give up running away, and turned around and rushed towards Ding Zhengfeng.
Even if the entry to the body refining was blocked, after all, Ding Zhengfeng had been forging his body for a long time, and he faced the impact of the black-haired demon pig, with the blessing of the light body technique, his steps were erratic, and while he easily dodged, the long sword in his hand also stabbed out again and again.
At this moment, Ding Zhengping and the civil and military brothers also arrived one after another, and they stopped only a few feet away from the black-haired demon pig and faintly surrounded it.
Glancing at each other wordlessly, Ding Zhengfeng slammed his toes on the ground and drifted away directly.
And Ding Zhengping activated the shield magic weapon, and a half-zhang-sized shield suddenly appeared in front of him, and then he excitedly collided directly with the black-haired demon pig.
"Coax~~~" There was a muffled sound, Ding Zhengping flew in response, and rolled out directly a few feet away, although his strength at this time was not weak, but obviously it was still not comparable to the black-haired demon pig.
Of course, such an impact was not without effect, at least it made the black-haired demon pig stagger, and the Wenwu brothers seized the opportunity, and their long-brewing fireball technique then hit the target.
The power of the mid-level fireball, compared to the lowest-level demon beast, is quite not to be underestimated, and while it explodes a brilliant spark on the black-haired demon pig, it also makes it let out a painful roar, which is quite angry.
However, in front of the three long sword magic weapons that followed, the black-haired demon pig rushed left and right, taking care of one and losing the other, obviously having no power to fight back.
As Ding Zhengping got up quickly, after he let out a hearty laugh, he immediately activated the shield magic weapon and rushed into the battle group again, and the black-haired demon pig had no chance to turn over at all.
The work of a cup of tea, accompanied by a miserable long howl, the black-haired demon pig fell to the ground with a bang, completely out of breath.
"It's really painful, and this kind of fight makes me feel like I can't get enough of it. ”
After the dust settled, Ding Zhengping shook his hands and feet, patted the shield in his hand, and said with a smile to Ding Zhengyi.
"Brother Ping is really powerful, just the shock of the impact made us a little frightened, but he was unharmed. ”
The Wenwu brothers also nodded, their faces swollen and red, their eyes shining, obviously yearning for this barbaric collision.
"You guys hurry up and help deal with the demon beast body, and get out of here first. ”
Ignoring the excited expressions of the three people, Ding Zhengyi pointed to Ding Zhengfeng, who was busy dividing the black-haired demon pig with a long sword, and said with a slight frown.
The performance of a few people just now was decent, and the cooperation was quite tacit, but this level of drill was obviously a little unsatisfactory, and Ding Zhengyi faintly felt that they should still have a lot of room for improvement.
But then he thought that now everything has just begun, everything is not done quickly, and slowly drawing it is the right way, so there is no need to be too harsh, and more adjustments and run-in will be made later, after all, the problems that can be found are not a big trouble.
After a few turns in his mind, Ding Zhengyi's face gradually calmed down, and while alerting the surrounding situation, he also looked at the few people who were busy and methodically dealing with the black-haired demon pig.
Ding Zhengfeng's method of dealing with the flesh of the demon beast was very skillful, and with the help of Ding Zhengping and the three of them, they dismembered the black-haired demon pig in a short time, and the meat and bones that could be eaten were sorted out and divided into several piles.
And the Ink Feather Eagle had just landed in Ding Zhengyi's whistle, and the fresh demon beast meat made it excited, and it was feasting on it with great interest at this time.
As the demon beast was disposed of, several people didn't stay long, and hundreds of catties of black-haired demon pork were quickly divided into several parts, and all the leather bags that Ding Zhengping carried with him were packed, and after several people each carried a bag, they continued to search forward.
It wasn't until the sky was slightly darkened that the five of them, who were a little exhausted, finally found a natural cave at the bottom of the cliff, cleaned it a little, and settled down temporarily.
Everywhere found some dry firewood, Ding Zhengfeng lit the fire, and then several people took out fresh demon pork from the bag and roasted it while chatting.
The demon pork, smeared with coarse salt and spices, is roasted by the flames, the meat is fragrant, and the taste is very delicious when you bite into it, and its weak vitality travels around in the body, quickly soothing the fatigue of a whole day's travel.
After eating half full, Ding Zhengyi then took out more than a pound of yellow tooth rice, and with the assistance of Ding Zhengfeng, boiled a pot of fragrant lean porridge.
After eating and drinking, Ding Zhengfeng took Ding Zhengping and the three of them to roast all the remaining black-haired demon pork, pack them separately, and keep them for food along the road behind.
At this time, Ding Zhengyi took out a few lower-grade spirit stones and distributed them to a few people who were in an extremely happy mood, so that they and the Moyu Eagle took turns to keep vigil at the same time, and at the same time, he did not forget to maintain the basic cultivation, and he himself also seized the time, arranged a spirit gathering array in a corner of the cave, and began to close his eyes and breathe.
