Chapter 078: The wolf howls in the middle of the night and cuts off the horn
The third level of the Jingxiang Palace Test, the hunting paddock, according to the different cultivation levels of the palace testers, enter from the four gates of east, west, north and south respectively.
The tasks of cultivating at all levels of the palace test in this palace test are to practice qi and collect grass, condense qi and dig roots, raise qi and catch rabbits, and build a foundation to hunt wolves.
Qi practice and grass picking, that is, the palace tester during the Qi training period, needs to pick at least one night comfrey plant in the Mulan paddock. Night comfrey, the grass stem is low, the shape of the tree is simple, during the day, the night comfrey leaves are pale green, and because it needs to grow with weeds when cultivating, it is extremely difficult to distinguish. Only at night, the leaves will glow with a faint sky purple fluorescence, which is very beautiful. The value of night comfrey is very expensive, often used for marching contact, code marking, but also used in ink, sculpture, fireworks, etc., but night comfrey is not easy to cultivate, the number is scarce, so it is often difficult to find.
Condensing and digging roots, it is the palace tester in the condensation period, and it is necessary to hand over three feet of water chestnut vine roots. Rhombus vine is a vine-like plant that grows on the rock, its roots are deep in the rock, its stem is coiled on the surface of the rock, and its leaves are wide and thin, round, like a piece of round cake covering the rock. The most valuable thing about the water chestnut vine is that its roots can make the rock harder, and even loose sand and gravel can become as hard as iron. And the casting of the military shield can also increase the hardness of the shield by a large grade.
Raising Qi and catching rabbits means that the uterine testers who need to raise their qi need to catch at least one sandalwood rabbit. The sandalwood rabbit is a low-level demon beast that does not eat grass, likes to eat sandalwood branches and leaves, and especially loves to gnaw on sandalwood trunks, and is kept in captivity in the sandalwood forest south of the paddock. Although the individual combat effectiveness of the sandalwood rabbit is weak, it is fast, and it is often difficult to catch its trace. When in distress, the tail will release a white gas, which is highly toxic and has a faint sandalwood fragrance, which also makes the sandalwood rabbit have a very important value for making drugs.
Tsukiji wolf hunting is to hunt the one-horned black wolf in the black wolf mountain area north of the paddock. The one-horned black wolf is also a low-level demon beast, with a black body, a group of caves, and a day and night out, with a ferocious temperament. The single horn on the head of the one-horned black wolf is the essence of its body, which can be used as medicine, cultivating the essence and nourishing the yuan, which is very precious. And only an adult one-horned black wolf will grow a single horn on its head, an adult one-horned black wolf, the strength is comparable to that of a cultivator in the Qi cultivation period, if it is besieged by a group of wolves, even an ordinary foundation building period cultivator is difficult to get out of trouble. Hunting the one-horned black wolf, cutting off its single horn branch, and handing it over to Mulan Terrace is the task of the palace testers above the foundation building period to enter the Mulan paddock.
From the 400,000 palace examiners at the beginning of climbing Yunwu Mountain, after the screening and elimination of the first two levels, to now entering the third level, there are still more than 10,000 people.
The north gate of the Mulan paddock is the gateway for the palace examiners above the foundation building period to enter the third level. Today's North Gate Pass, in addition to the hundreds of soldiers guarding the town, there are only more than 30 palace examiners who have entered the palace test one after another, after all, people who can enter the foundation building period at a young age can be described as a genius in cultivation in Jingxiang Kingdom.
Jingxiang Palace has been disturbed for a day, and the sky is getting twilight at this time.
Wang Ruoli walked in the black wolf mountain area north of the paddock, raised his eyes and looked into the distance, but there was no figure in the mountains. It is also said that the Black Wolf Mountain is seventy or eighty miles in circumference, such a large area, there are only more than 30 people scattered, if it is not deliberately searched, I am afraid that it will be difficult to meet a figure in three days.
Wang Ruoli secretly calculated in his heart that he would try his best to hunt the one-horned black wolf within one day, complete the task, and then rush to Mulan Terrace to meet Ruan Jinglun. It is a pity that Wang Ruoli searched for a long time in the deep valley of the dense forest, until late at night, except for some hares, pheasants, brown deer and jackals, there was no trace of the one-horned black wolf's activities.
Just as Wang Ruoli climbed over a hill again, from a distance, he saw a bright light reflected in the forest in front of him.
Wang Ruoli quietly approached, crouched behind a tree trunk, and saw a bonfire set up in the clearing of the woods in front of him, and next to the bonfire, several young men were holding swords and confronting two beams of green light. Through the gray night, Wang Ruoli took a closer look, where was the green light, it was clearly a lone one-horned black wolf, but because of the black hair around his body, he couldn't see his figure clearly in the dark, and the two green beams of light were the light emitted by his eyes, which was even more eye-catching in the dark.
The one-horned black wolf wandered left and right for a while, and finally jumped up and pounced on several young men.
However, the three young men on the periphery cooperated tacitly, attacked up and down, and trapped the one-horned black wolf.
The cold and arrogant young man who followed immediately seized the opportunity, pulled out his sword awe-inspiringly, and with a sword move, blood splashed, instantly injured the front legs of the one-horned black wolf, if it weren't for the thick mane, I was afraid that this sword would be able to cut off the two front legs of the one-horned black wolf.
The one-horned black wolf was hit hard by this, and howled miserably, fiercely and violently, and quickly increased his speed, limping madly and jumping towards the darkness behind, and the wolf howled miserably along the way.
The three young men were overjoyed to see this and were about to pursue, when a wolf howl came from the forest of the mountain pass opposite, one after another, responding to each other.
"Ah Qi, you come back!" the arrogant young man shouted hurriedly from behind, "The night is dark and the forest is deep, don't chase it." ”
"Brother Lingfu, I finally ran into a lone one-horned black wolf, it's a pity that I was injured and ran away like this!" The three young men in front of them turned back the same way, and they were a little unwilling in their hearts.
"Don't forget the purpose of our coming to Jingxiang Palace to try, hunting the one-horned black wolf, it's just a convenient thing, there is an opportunity, there is no need to take such a big risk and break into the wolf's den. The arrogant young man didn't care, "Let's withdraw!"
"Yes!" The three young men were respectful, and followed the arrogant young man to the opposite hill.
Only then did Wang Ruoli realize that the cold and arrogant young man who took the lead was Xie Lingqiao of the Xie family, but the other three young people, judging by their skills, should only be in the period of qi recuperation, shouldn't they enter from the south gate of the paddock and go to the sandalwood forest to catch and suck the sandalwood rabbit?
At this time, it was only six or seven hours before the third pass opened the gate of the paddock, and these three people must have entered from the south gate, and did not go to the inner circle of the paddock, but directly took the paddock straight road non-stop and came to the north area.
At that moment, Wang Ruoli didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly bypassed Xie Lingqiao and the four of them, followed the remnants of the sound of the fleeing one-horned black wolf, and tracked them all the way. Finally, behind a rock, the injured one-horned black wolf was found.
The one-horned black wolf was curled up on the ground at this time, licking the wound with his tongue, and suddenly heard footsteps approaching, and hurriedly wanted to get up, but Wang Ruoli was willing to give it a chance, and raised his foot is a kick, kicking the one-horned black wolf to the ground again, raising his sword and falling, instantly cutting off the single horn on the head of the one-horned black wolf.
The one-horned black wolf trembled on all fours and rolled on the ground in mourning.
Wang Ruoli couldn't bear to look at it more, picked up the horn on the ground, put it in his arms, and wanted to leave.
At this time, five or six one-horned black wolves quickly pounced in the forest, presumably the companions of the one-horned black wolf on the ground.
Wang Ruoli was not in love with war, raised his hand and struck "the autumn wind swept the fallen leaves", forced the wolves back, unfolded his body, and quickly swept back, only to hear the wolf howls behind him one after another.
Wang Ruoli relied on the speed of his body and hurriedly ran two or three miles away, only then did he get rid of the tail chase of the wolves.
That night, Wang Ruoli picked a big tree, jumped on the branch, and slept on the branch.
I woke up several times at night, and in the mountains and forests, I vaguely felt that there were some loud sounds, and I didn't know whether it was the sound of wolves or the wind.
