Chapter 8 Demon Hunting in the Ancient Path Demon Mountain
An ancient mountain forest, a giant sword flew by. The ancient trees are towering to the sky, and the giant trees dozens of meters high are towering into the sky. On top of the giant sword, several figures sat cross-legged.
"Our mission this time is to enter the Ancient Dao Demon Mountain and hunt demon beasts. Except for the demon core that you must obtain a blue-eyed wolf, you can take the rest of the income yourself. An old man standing on a giant sword said.
"Although the blue-eyed wolf is one of the most difficult demon beasts to deal with among the first-level demon beasts, as long as our luck is not too bad, there should be no problem. The old man continued.
"The young lady of the Situ family said that as long as they brought back the blue-eyed wolf demon core, each person would receive fifty spirit stones. It's been a long time since this kind of good thing happened, and there is no room for failure in this trip, ladies and gentlemen. A strong man with a rough face on the long sword smiled.
Several of them are casual cultivators on the Demon Cultivation Island, and they all rely on hunting demon beasts on weekdays and exchanging demon cores for spirit stones to cultivate. The demon cores obtained on weekdays often cannot be sold at a good price. This time, the buyer only needed a demon beast core, and spent three hundred spirit stones to hire six people, which can be said to be a big deal.
Lin Ziyun was also part of this trip, and he received a task to hunt demon beasts a few days ago according to Miss Qianyi's instructions. In fact, he didn't care about the core of the demon beast, but participating in this kind of hunting demon beast can bring him the most direct combat experience, which is what he needs the most.
"Then the Situ family has a lot of money, why don't you come to the Ancient Road Demon Mountain to hunt demon beasts by yourself. Lin Ziyun whispered to a short young man beside him.
"Fellow Daoist, those big families, who would go into danger to cultivate the Demon Island for the sake of some demon beast cores. Not to mention demon beasts, maybe they will be killed by pirates and demon cultivators before they reach the Demon Cultivation Island. The short young man's name was Ming Chong, and he smiled at Lin Ziyunwei.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there is the Ancient Road Demon Mountain ahead. When I arrived here, the old man said ugly things in front, if someone escaped from the battle or did not cooperate with the action, the old man was ruthless. The old man laughed. Lin Ziyun glanced at this person out of the corner of his eyes, and didn't care about his words.
The few people present were a demon hunting team that had gathered together temporarily, and they didn't know anything about each other, let alone be convinced. The six of them all had plans in their hearts, but the old man's cultivation was the highest among the hidden people, and he was a member of the team recruited by this person, so he was temporarily led by him. However, if you really think that the scattered cultivation of Demon Island can do everything according to its orders, it is whimsical.
The giant sword fell to the ground, and several people appeared in a primeval mountain forest. The nearby jungle was dense and reckless, and the rough man frowned and said, "In this mountain forest, there is chaos. If we are lucky, we can find the blue-eyed wolf in a day or two, but if we are unlucky, let alone a few days, we may not be able to find it in a month or two. β
Indeed, although there is indeed a blue-eyed wolf here, it is another thing to find it.
"Hmph, you mean you're going to go their separate ways?" the old man looked unsightly, and glared at the rough man.
"Fellow Daoist, this needle in a haystack is too stupid, and the most effective way is for a few of us to act separately. The rough man grinned at him.
Several people secretly harbored ghosts, such as the rough man, although he wanted to earn the fifty spirit stones, but if he wanted to find the blue-eyed wolf and caused his trip to return empty-handed, it was unacceptable. He proposed to act separately because he felt that his cultivation was not weak, and even if he couldn't meet the blue-eyed wolf, he could hunt other demon beasts if he encountered it. A few of the people present also made this plan, but they did not say it.
The leading old man glanced at the rough man with contempt in his eyes, and secretly scolded this man for being a fool in his heart. But when he saw that there were still a few people who were obviously a little moved by what the rough man said, he still held back his anger and said in a deep voice: "What you said is true, but if you want to hunt the blue-eyed wolf by yourself, I'm afraid it's still unrealistic." β
Seeing that the old man said what he was planning to do, the rough man's face rose. He didn't explain either, the cultivation realm was originally the law of the jungle, and if he could find the blue-eyed wolf alone, he wouldn't mind taking three hundred spirit stones alone. What's more, he was not the only one present who had such thoughts, he wanted to see how the old man appeased everyone.
I didn't see the old man speak, but a man in a yellow Taoist robe stood up and spoke: "If Daoist friends have this idea, they will underestimate the blue-eyed wolf. If someone who is really alone can obtain the blue-eyed wolf demon core, Su Daoyou will not have to recruit me and wait. It's really because the wolf clan is in groups, and a demon wolf is not difficult to deal with, but if a group is in groups, it is difficult to deal with even the foundation building period. β
"Haha...... You must have misunderstood what I meant. Since we are a team, no matter who obtains the demon core, the spirit stones obtained will naturally be divided equally. I mean that the Ancient Road Demon Mountain is too vast, if we split up to find the Heavenly Wolf, as long as we find something, use the microphone as a signal, and gather at that time, we can naturally save a lot of time. The rough man hurriedly played the round.
It's just that he laughed awkwardly, but the old man surnamed Su sneered.
"The old man would like to reiterate once again that if anyone disobeys the controller, he can leave now. However, in the future, if there are those who escape or act alone, the old man is not welcome. The man said with a stern expression. "There is no need to act separately, the old man has already found a habitat for a blue-eyed wolf. If nothing else, it will be a few days as fast as it is or ten days as slow, and it will naturally be possible to successfully complete this mission. The old man doesn't want any more Taoist friends to have a disagreement on this action. β
"Why should Su Daoyou be angry about this, although Jiang Xin Daoyou's consideration is inappropriate, it is understandable. Let's hurry as soon as possible and get the Blue-Eyed Sirius Demon Core as soon as possible. The man in the yellow robe stood up and said.
Although the trip had a bad start, it was unexpectedly smooth for three consecutive days. After three days of traveling, Mo said that he had encountered a demon beast, and even Tiangong was extraordinarily beautiful, the sun was comfortable, and the weather was sunny. In the jungle, there are many thorns, and there are many insects and snakes. But several of them are cultivators, and these environmental obstacles are naturally not a problem. But on this day, several people crossed a hill and encountered a body of water.
The law of the jungle is the simplest relationship between the hunter and the prey, survival of the fittest, natural selection. A five-meter-tall giant lion and a cyan serpent fought together, both beasts were wild beasts, fierce by nature, and the nearby giant trees were broken and the rocks were blown apart. Several people did not rush to make a move, but planned to wait to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and reap the benefits of the fisherman.
The giant lion is covered in golden fur and looks extremely majestic. Its figure was like lightning, and its claws were huge. With a volley in the air, he turned into a virtual afterimage and slapped at the big snake. The serpent rolled over and ate the blow, crashing into an ancient tree. The tree was hit with great force and snapped in an instant. The serpent opened its mouth and spat out its poisonous tongue, and Bai Sensen's teeth were like ghost knives in purgatory.
"Hiss......"
The big snake was furious, and its huge body dozens of meters long flicked off. The giant lion dodged the fatal blow with a volley in the air, and it fell to the ground, stirring up layers of flying ash. The two demon beasts fought for dozens of rounds, and the big snake seemed to be even more ferocious, and the huge snake body entangled the giant lion. It protrudes its scarlet tongue and opens its huge mouth to swallow the lion alive.
"Take advantage of the beast and devour it, and destroy it. The short young man laughed.
He was the first to mount, an iron hook in his hand. Because the old man surnamed Su said it first, except for the blue-eyed wolf, the core income of the other demon beasts belonged to the individual, so not only the short young man Ming Chong was a little moved, but several other people also had plans to make a move. However, none of these people are good at stubble, so they naturally know the plan to shoot the first bird. Like Ming Chong, the person who eats alone before everyone has a strong cultivation, if not, he will inevitably become the target of the public in the future. Therefore, the other few people, even though they saw that the cores of the two demon beasts were close to each other, still hesitated.
Let's look at Ming Chong, sacrifice the cold light iron hook, and recite the trick in his mouth. The iron hook magnified sharply, turned into a slender hook, and stabbed the serpent fiercely. The big snake has experienced a fierce battle, and is taking food at the moment, where can he react. It was in an iron hook, and its body ached, and it roared. It's just that the body is hooked by an iron hook, and the blood is dripping. The iron hook cut off a part of the snake's body, which was really sharp.
The cyan snake, the snake's eyes flashed with a blue light, staring at Ming Chong fiercely. That gaze startled Ming Chong, he didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly took out a few yellow talismans and threw them at the big snake. Those talismans turned into a huge net of spiritual power, enveloping the serpent and trapping it. Ming Chong laughed, sealed his hands, and shot out a few fireballs.
In this area, the spiritual light flickered, and the giant snake rolled to the ground, wailing endlessly. Ming Chong shouted: "Evil animal, don't ambush yet!"
Ming Chong saw that the big snake's breath was dying, and he made sure that it had no power to resist, and slowly approached. When he was more than ten meters away from the big snake, Ming Chong grinned, opened his hand and prepared to put away the talisman seals that he had purchased with a lot of spirit stones. These talismans are not one-time use, after putting them away, they can be warmed with spiritual power, and they can be taken out again next time to control the enemy. Some people in the team saw that Ming Chong could obtain two demon cores of a lot of value so easily, and secretly regretted that they didn't make a move.
Not everyone has this idea, such as the old man surnamed Su. He glanced at the cyan snake with a deep gaze, and then at Ming Chong, a trace of mockery flashed in his eyes.
Ming Chong was extremely proud at the moment, what did Xiuzhen rely on? Isn't it just resources? He didn't care what would happen afterwards, he only knew one thing, and the opportunity was to be grasped by himself. If you don't make a move, these two demon cores must not belong to you. If others are willing to continue to watch the play, then it is better to watch the play, anyway, he is the one who really gets benefits. He grinned, and prepared to use the iron hook in his hand to take out the demon core of the cyan snake.
I don't know if it's an illusion, Ming Chong seemed to feel a bright light flashing in the corner of his eye just now. He didn't pay much attention to it, crouched down, ready to take his spoils.
"Be careful......
Suddenly, the serpent opened its eyes, and it was extremely cold. Ming Chong was only a meter away from the head of the big snake, and he saw the scarlet tongue and cold eyes, like an ice cellar. It turned out that the cyan snake was just pretending to be dead, and suddenly it was in trouble, and it spit out red flames from its mouth.
"Boom ......"
Everything happened in a flash of lightning, and a man in white appeared in front of Lin Chong. And the big snake was grabbed by the young man's arm and smashed to the ground. All this is a long story, in fact, it only took two breaths for Lin Ziyun to find the abnormality to make a move in a short time, and the speed of his skills and quick reaction made the old man surnamed Su stare slightly.
Ming Chong, who had palpitations, was in a cold sweat. He looked at Lin Ziyun and stammered, "Thank you for saving me......
With this episode, Ming Chong has changed a lot to Lin Ziyun, the life-saving benefactor. Two demon cores, Ming Chong gave one to Lin Ziyun, and Lin Ziyun was not polite to him.
For about five days, the people came to a high mountain. The mountains are covered with snow and the temperature is extremely low. The goose-feathered snow continued on and on, and there was no trace of it on the snow at all.
"This is the mountain range, we just have to wait here, and we will definitely find the blue-eyed wolf. The old man surnamed Su said.
Lin Ziyun didn't care about the others, and walked around. Heavy snowfall, this is a barren mountain range, sparsely wooded, with some shrubs and other vegetation, but mostly covered by heavy snow. He is not a qi refiner, and he can't go on a hunger strike like everyone else. However, several people know that he is a master of body refining, and they don't care about him often looking for some meat barbecue. As a cultivator of the same level, a cultivator refining body would often be one level higher than a qi refining cultivator in actual combat. This is because most Qi Refiners will rely on magic weapons and spiritual weapons as defenses. However, a body refining cultivator is a path that pays attention to oneself and becomes holy in the flesh, so if the offense and defense are integrated, the natural combat effectiveness will be a little higher than that of the qi refining cultivator. Moreover, the combat techniques of the body refining cultivators will not be simpler than those of the qi refining cultivators, but some of the exercises are extremely mysterious.
At night, on the snow-capped hillside, Lin Ziyun sat cross-legged, closing his eyes and resting. At the same time, he is also practicing the "Fuxian True Gong", which is to open up the four major acupoints of the human body, heaven and earth, Xuanhuang. And these four big acupoints are a bit like the four realms of Qi refining, foundation building, feathering, and knotting. There are nine levels in the four great acupoints of Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang, and each layer of cultivation will gain a huge increase in strength. Lin Ziyun practiced penance for several months, cultivating this exercise to the peak of the first layer, and when he hit the second layer of the Yellow Acupoint, he always felt a layer of obstruction.
In fact, the more Lin Ziyun cultivated this exercise, the more he felt it. After all, just the first layer of the Yellow Cave gave him the strength of about three layers of Qi refining, according to the comparison of the same level, it was equivalent to a monk of the first layer of Qi refining, and even defeated a monk of the third layer of Qi refining, what does this mean?
When Lin Ziyun practiced this exercise, there was a dragon aura between his snorts. It was as if an inexplicable aura between heaven and earth had entered his body, and dragon breaths were flying around him, as if an ancient barbarian god was cultivating. The stars and the moon are long, sprinkling clear light. In the snow-capped mountain plain, an old man with white hair and a white beard walked in front of Lin Ziyun.
Lin Ziyun opened his eyes and saw the person in front of him, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he quickly returned to normal.
The two appeared in a hidden place, the old man with his back to his hands. Lin Ziyun glanced at this person disapprovingly, and said lightly: "What is the matter with Your Excellency, just say it." β
The old man turned his face to look at Lin Ziyun, and a smile appeared on his face. Judging by his appearance, it was the old man who was the leader of the team, but he didn't know what was going on when he found Lin Ziyun at this moment. The old man surnamed Su was wearing a dragon robe, and his long hair was tied up with a dragon head green jade hairpin. He stared at Lin Ziyun with heavy eyes, and said in a condensed voice: "If my guess is correct, Daoist friends should have encountered a bottleneck in cultivation, right?"
When Lin Ziyun heard this, he was surprised. But he didn't show anything on his face, and still pretended to be calm and replied: "Daoist friends must have seen it wrong, Lin Mou's cultivation is difficult to get to the top, how can there be a bottleneck." If there is nothing to do with the Taoist friends, I will take my leave first. Lin Ziyun really didn't want to have too much to do with these people, but after he had seen the warmth and coldness of people, even he didn't find him a little withdrawn in terms of personality.
Seeing that Lin Ziyun was about to leave, the old man surnamed Su sighed slightly.
"You and I, monks, struggling in a desperate situation is tantamount to living in hesitation. Don't be in a hurry to leave, what the old man wants to say will not be harmful to you. As for whether you agree or not, it's up to you to consider it. β
The moonlight was sparkling, the mountains and rocks were like emeralds, and Lin Ziyun stopped moving. After a long time, he turned his head to look at the old man.
And at this time, the silence of the mountains. After the snow tree, a blue light lit up in the darkness.
The earth, the night, seemed to be shrouded in a veil. The Yellow Robe Daoist was second only to the old man surnamed Su in cultivation among several people, and he noticed the abnormality as soon as possible and reminded everyone to be vigilant. The first time Ming Chong saw the blue-eyed wolf, he only then understood why the yellow-robed Taoist and the old man surnamed Su would scoff at the idea of a rough man. The blue eyes gradually lit up from the dark mountain forest. It was as if someone was lighting a candle in the dark.
One by one, it seems to gather together like a tide.
The rough man Jiang Xin swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Damn, so many wolf cubs, they are all demon cores!"
Ming Chong glanced at the man, this person was still thinking about the demon core, and he was really naΓ―ve. I don't know when the old man surnamed Su and Lin Ziyun have appeared in the collective, and the old man said in a deep voice: "These are blue-eyed demon wolves, just low-level demon beasts. There's no demon core, we're looking for a wolf!"
What? The voice of scolding the mother sounded in the hearts of everyone.
