Text Chapter 66: The Scream
The wait is long, and it can be a test of patience for experienced hunters, and it is perfectly normal to wait for an hour in a row when hunting. And for these beginners who have no experience, it is even more of a chore, so they began to chat quietly, blowing water, and alleviating the loneliness of waiting.
So, what is Le Qi doing? Is it really as a few people guessed, just finding a good pit to lie down and fall asleep?
The answer is no, if someone approaches the area where Leqi is hiding at this time, they will faintly hear the "knock" sound of tapping on the trunk of the tree, the sound is very faint, like a small woodpecker is beating the trunk with its unfed force.
Of course, this is not a small woodpecker beating on the trunk of the tree, but Le Qi, who is half-crouching on the ground, is gently tapping the trunk of a big tree in front of him with his bent finger joints, his movements are very light, if the distance is more than a meter, make sure that the slightest sound is not heard.
The knuckles of the fingers tapped up and down, left and right on the trunk, while the ears were close to the trunk, listening carefully, as if looking for something.
"Knock, knock, knock. Hearing a special sound in his ears, he was overjoyed and tapped Fang Cai's part again.
"Duh!" came out a crisp voice.
Le Qi was sure that he had heard correctly, and a happy smile appeared on his face.
What he did was not as idle as the eight team members lying down and bragging, he was doing the right thing, and he was doing a good job of making a fortune! Those who don't understand may be puzzled, can you still make a fortune by knocking on a tree trunk? But this is a fact.
The reason why Le Qi chose to hide in this place was because of the big tree in front of him. This tree is called the Gougo Tree, which is nearly ten meters high, and its branches and leaves are still dense and green even in the cold winter wind and snow. The trunk branches are dense and heavy, and the same volume can reach more than three times the mass of a pine tree, and it is very hard, and if it is used to make spears and bows and arrows, the quality is considered to be of high quality.
However, what Le Qi values today is not the tree itself, although the branches can make weapons, but after all, it is not an elixir, and its value is not high. What Le Qi really likes is what may exist in its trunk.
The trunk tissue of the tree can secrete a toxic substance, which makes the trunk tough and can effectively kill the borers that want to destroy the tree, so there is basically no insect moth.
However, there is no absolute, there is such an insect, called the green silkworm, but it is particularly fond of the poisonous substances secreted by this tree, they feed on this substance, grow up slowly, and spit out a kind of extremely tough and can well conduct and accommodate the Xuan Qi cyan translucent silk thread, if this silk thread is twisted into a few hair-thick strings and injected into the Xuan Qi, it can lift dozens of catties of heavy objects, and the tenacity can be seen.
The green silk is known as green silk and can be used to make the best intimate soft armor. It is said that the soft armor made of green silk can withstand the attacks of the martial artists of the Xuan Xuan Realm when worn by ordinary people, and if the martial artists of the Great Xuan Realm wear it, they can mobilize their own Xuan Qi with all their strength to inject the soft armor, and they can actually carry the full strength of the martial artists of the Soul Lock Realm several times without being seriously injured.
Of course, the better the thing, the higher the price, if the thing is scarce, the value is even higher than the sky, which is the eternal law of the market.
The green silkworm soft armor is so powerful, it can be imagined that its price is by no means cheap, and it can even be described as sky-high. The price of an ordinary green silkworm soft armor is almost 7,000 to 10,000 amethyst! If it is a high-grade green silkworm soft armor, it will not be a problem to double the price by one or two times! If the formation master is to set up the formation in it, the price is even more unimaginable. These kinds of items are by no means accessible to ordinary people.
And today, Le Qi came to this gouge tree with the mentality of trying it out, looking for any treasures such as silkworms in this tree. I didn't expect to be really lucky, the trunk of the gouge tree is hollow, and nine times out of ten there are green silkworms in it.
This silkworm has a special habit, not only inhabiting the large gourd tree, but also only in the cold winter to come out to grow, if the weather is slightly hotter, before the snow all melts, it will quietly retreat to the ground, in the cave where it inhabits is full of heat-proof green silk, and then it will enter summer hibernation, waiting for the next winter to come again.
At that point, you won't be able to find it, even if you dig three feet around it. This has also contributed to the scarcity of the number of silkworms.
Similarly, the green silkworm is also divided into male and female, compared with the male green silkworm, the female green silkworm is more valuable, the reason is very simple, the female green silkworm can give birth to small green silkworms!
Le Qi didn't say much, quickly took out a dagger and injected Xuan Qi, and carefully slid through the blue-brown bark around the hollow area of the trunk of the gou, for fear of hurting the green silkworms in it, so he could only reduce the range little by little, cutting and sliding one by one, and the peeled bark fell to the ground, accumulating a thin layer.
Finally, after nearly a quarter of an hour of hard work, a palm-sized hole was cut in the tough trunk of the tree, and Le Qi finally saw the little guy covered in green.
The insect is about the size of a little thumb, its body is round, and it is not ugly, although it is called a green silkworm, it does not look very much like a silkworm, and its body is covered with a layer of deep cyan armor, probably due to fright, it is shrinking into a ball, like a small circle. Judging from its appearance, it is green all over its body, and it should be a male green silkworm.
But Le Qi was not much disappointed, this male green silkworm is not very old, and it is initially estimated that it should be worth two or three hundred thousand gold coins, which is also a lot of income.
Just as Le Qi was about to reach out to grab the shy little green silkworm, before his hand was halfway out, he suddenly heard a shocking roar in the distance.
The roar was so sudden, and the deafening sound wave resounded throughout the mountains and forests, like a huge thunder, which made Le Qi a little overwhelmed for a while, but the shock did not last long, Le Qi's brain immediately resumed high-speed operation, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, quickly grabbed the little guy and put it into the prepared box slightly revealing a slit, and then stuffed it into the Void Ring, although this little guy can barely be regarded as a demon beast, but it is very quiet, don't worry about it will cause chaos in the Void Ring.
Immediately, Le Qi quickly stood up and quickly ran to a relatively open area to observe the movement.
However, everything in front of him made him feel extremely shocked, and in a few breaths after the loud roar, the entire mountain forest was boiling! The roars of demon beasts one after another resounded throughout the mountain forest, and then, visible to the naked eye, from the depths of the forest to the outside, the trees were swaying, and it was countless demon beasts running outside, or rather, they were desperately fleeing to the periphery!
Le Qi didn't have time to think at all, so he hurriedly screamed and beckoned the team of eight people to gather, and at the same time, Le Qi took out two signal flares from his clothes, one was silver, which was the signal flare agreed upon by the Qinglong Society, and this silver signal flare was the emergency assembly order.
The other one is red, and there is a cyan hovering dragon on it, with a pair of blood-red eyes blazing, this is the distress signal flare of the Blue Dragon Society, only Le Qi has two on this trip, its appearance means that the team has encountered an irresistible threat, and asked the nearby Qinglong elders to come to emergency assistance.
As soon as Le Qi pulled the strings, he hurriedly launched two signal flares into the sky, and the silver signal flares rushed into the air with the sound, flying not high, but they could be seen within a radius of three or four thousand meters, and judged its approximate direction, so that all the personnel could find a closer direction.
Immediately after that, a cyan signal flare rose into the air again, and compared to the height of the first silver signal flare, it flew higher, and the rise speed was extremely fast, the path was accompanied by a dazzling cyan light, as if a green dragon suddenly ascended into the sky, and then, the signal flare exploded in the air, and a lifelike big green dragon-shaped fireworks appeared in the air, which did not disperse for a long time.
"Look, it's a signal flare for an emergency gathering! A squad is an emergency gathering!" The captain of a squad was the first to discover the signal flare, coupled with the loud roar of Fang Cai and the mountains and forests that had been completely boiling, he didn't dare to be careless, so he hurriedly summoned the team members to assemble and went to the assembly as quickly as possible.
"The second squad will advance to the assembly!" Huang Jin also discovered the difference between the signal flare and the mountains and forests for the first time, and felt bad in his heart, but at this moment, he saw the second signal flare piercing the sky, and the huge green dragon was entrenched in the sky.
Others may not know this kind of Green Dragon signal, but his eldest brother Huang Qi is a director of the Green Dragon Society, and he is very clear about these things, the Green Dragon Signal Flare, this is the emergency aid signal flare of the important disciples of the Blue Dragon Society, as soon as this signal flare comes out, if there is an elder of the Blue Dragon Society within fifty kilometers, even if it is an elder of the Xuan King level, he can also ask for help.
That means that there is a major event happening, and among the disciples on this trip, only two of them are in the hands of the current captain Le Qi, which is also the Qinglong Club considering that the disciples on this trip are all talented people and cannot be missed, so they gave Le Qi two Qinglong signal flares in case of emergency.
Although this is a mountain forest, it is not too far away from the Linlang Sect, and it is still under the jurisdiction of the Linlang Sect. And now that the Qinglong signal flare appeared, Huang Jin was even more convinced that he guessed in his heart that something big had really happened in this mountain forest, and hurriedly urged the team members to speed up and rush to Huihe.
The same was true for the third team, within half an hour, the four freshmen teams of the Blue Dragon Society had completed their rounds, and in the process of hurrying, everyone even saw many demon beasts running out and fleeing, making various cries from time to time, looking panicked, completely ignoring them.
Even, Le Qi unexpectedly discovered that there was more than one fourth-order demon beast among them. You must know that the territory area of the demon beast is related to the level, and the deeper you go, the higher the level. Originally, this was only the habitat of the third-order demon beasts, and the fourth-order demon beasts should be deeper in the mountain range.
But now, they can be found here, which is enough to prove that at this moment, it may not be a simple turmoil on the periphery of the mountain forest, but a huge turmoil in the primeval forest area of the mountain behind Linlang Sect, which caused the demon beasts to flee outward.
Thinking back to that earth-shattering roar, how powerful did it have to be for a demon beast to be able to send it out enough to cause such an exaggerated fluctuation? Could it be that the two sixth-order beast kings were really fighting!
