Chapter 9: The Hunt Mission (Part II)
A moment later, the ground was covered with corpses, and there were eighty or ninety mutant rune beasts.
The Eagle Demon said, "Mutant Rune Beast...... It's gone!"
Guo Twelve was very busy. After the mutant rune beast died, he had to collect the spirit within a few minutes, otherwise the spirit would dissipate, so he didn't have time to focus on other things, and he focused on collecting the spirit beads. He didn't have the ability of Qi Nanshan, he could condense into a soul bead with a grab, he could only use a spell to collect it, and the speed was much slower.
Xuan Ai was also in a hurry, he had never seen so many corpses of mutant rune beasts, so he wanted to collect and condense their essence blood as much as possible before the blood in the mutant rune beasts' flowing bodies.
It wasn't until he couldn't condense the spirit beads that Guo Twelve found that those spirit souls had dissipated, after all, he was not a Great Sage Master. After counting the condensed spirit beads, about thirty spirit beads were collected, and the spirits of more than fifty mutant rune beasts dissipated.
Guo Twelve sighed and began to refine the essence blood beads. As long as the blood of the mutant rune beast is not dry, it can purify some essence blood beads. After being busy for more than an hour, less than two hundred essence blood beads were purified, and the quality was very average, after all, it was only a fourth-level and fifth-level mutant rune beast, of which the fourth-level ones accounted for the majority.
Xuan Ai smiled bitterly: "This job is not easy. ”
There was not a single mutant rune beast in sight, and they were all scared away by the giant dragon. If there were only the Darkwinged Demon Scorpion and the Blade Shadow Mantis, maybe these mutant rune beasts would still be able to fight, but when they encountered the mutant giant perching dragon that was about to advance to the ninth level, these low-level mutant rune beasts could only escape.
After carefully counting the corpses of mutant rune beasts on the ground, Xuan Ai said, "Nearly a hundred...... It's far beyond my mandate......"
The Eagle Demon asked, "What do you mean?"
Guo Twelve smiled: "In other words...... He went above and beyond. ”
The Eagle Demon nodded and said, "I'll help with the skinning and fleshing." "Despite the extraction of the soul and blood, the flesh and bones of these mutant rune beasts are also valuable. The Eagle Demon has also received a legacy of gathering, and he can do this kind of work very skillfully.
Holding the talisman bag, the eagle demon used his natal talisman blade and began to peel the skin and cut the flesh.
Guo Twelve said thoughtfully: "Are the sixth- and seventh-level mutant runic beasts also so dense? If they are also so dense, it will be difficult for us to hunt." ”
Xuan Ai said: "The mutant rune beasts of the fifth and sixth levels are relatively concentrated, but the difference between the sixth and seventh levels is that they have a certain territory...... It's just that the site is small...... Well, it won't be as dense as it was just now. ”
Guo Twelve said: "This is about the same, otherwise we will be sent to death......"
Xuan Ai said: "That's not it, you see that when we went out of the city, most of the professionals formed squads, and even several squads joined forces, and there were very few like us, only three people dared to rush in to hunt mutant talisman beasts." ”
Guo Twelve said with a smile: "We can only hunt low-level mutant rune beasts, and the high-level ones still don't dare to touch them, at most we can only hunt seventh-level mutant rune beasts, and we have to rely on the power of the giant dragon, otherwise we are really not sure." ”
A pile of mutant rune beast corpses, most of which were shattered, were torn apart by the giant dragon. There are also some mutant rune beasts whose flesh cannot be eaten, because it was hit by the stinger of the dark-winged demon scorpion, and the body contains a large amount of toxins, which can only be used as food for the dark-winged demon scorpion and the blade shadow mantis.
There are only more than thirty corpses of mutant rune beasts that have the value of skinning and cutting meat, and several of them are very large and need to be collected by the Eagle Demon. The other relatively small corpses were handled by Guo Twelve and Xuan Ai. It didn't take much time to hunt the mutant rune beast, and it took three and a half days to collect fur and flesh and bones.
By the time everything was done, it was already dark. Guo Twelve said: "Let's find a place to rest, the smell of blood here is too strong!"
Xuan Ai was also not familiar with this place, he was limited to entering and leaving Qing City before, and did not dare to enter the secret wasteland. He took out the talisman map and examined it for a while, and said: "There is an abandoned small village not far away, seeing that it is about to get dark, let's hurry over, it is estimated that in the small village, there are mutant talisman beasts entrenched, and they must be expelled to live in people." ”
Guo Twelve was too lazy to put away the giant dragon, he flew to the back of the giant dragon and said, "Let's ride the giant dragon over." ”
Xuan Ai flew up and said with a smile: "There is a powerful spirit beast that is convenient. ”
The Darkwinged Scorpion and the Blade Mantis also flew onto the back of the Giant Dragon. Guo 12 drove the giant dragon and ran in the direction guided by Xuan Ai.
The movement of the giant perching dragon running was very large, every step could step more than 100 meters, the huge soles of the feet stepped on the ground, and a heavy stamping sound could be heard within a radius of several miles, and the surrounding low-level mutant runic beasts fled when they heard the wind, and they didn't dare to look at it at all.
A moment later, Guo Twelve saw a small village in the distance. The houses are largely destroyed, with only a few ruins remaining. As the giant dragon approached, the mutant runic beasts entrenched in the village quickly fled.
Xuan Ai envied again: "It's good to have a spirit beast, we don't need to make a move, we can find a clean place." It is not easy for a professional who comes out to hunt to find a safe campsite. ”
Guo Twelve smiled and said, "Why don't you raise a beast talisman?"
Xuan Ai smiled bitterly: "Who doesn't want to raise it......? It takes a lot of soul power, I'm not as perverted as you, alas, it's not that I don't want it, it's that I can't afford it. ”
Guo Twelve said: "Strange, I have seen very few professionals who play with beast talismans, is this because of this?"
Xuan Ai said: "It's not surprising that in our inheritance, there are very few skills to cultivate spirit beasts, only in the ancient inheritance, we like to use spirit beasts or spirit soul insects, and ...... There are also disadvantages to using spirit beasts and spirit soul insects, once the spirit beasts and spirit soul insects are restrained......"
Guo Twelve smiled: "I understand that once I am restrained, I will be in danger...... Isn't it?"
Xuan Ai nodded and said, "Yes, the biggest problem with beast control and insect control is here, but you seem to be different, and you also have charm control skills...... Hehe, don't worry about this, a powerful spirit beast is very helpful to professionals. ”
The Eagle Demon found a half-collapsed house, cleaned it up a little, spread a thick animal skin mat, lit a pot of charcoal, and asked Guo Twelve and Xuan Ai to come and sit down.
Guo XII left the giant dragon outside and let it hunt on its own, while the dark-winged demon scorpion and the sword shadow mantis roamed the outskirts of the village on guard, and if they encountered a mutant rune beast, they would hunt it themselves.
Nothing was said all night.
Early the next morning, Guo Twelve got up, rinsed his mouth, washed his face and ate, and the three of them discussed the next step.
Xuan Ai said: "Let's go back to the city, hand in the task first, and then receive a new one." ”
Guo Twelve shook his head and said, "It's only been two days since I came out, I'm going back, are you kidding?"
Xuan Ai couldn't help but laugh and said, "Who made your giant dragon so powerful, only hunted once, and completed the task." ”
Guo Twelve said: "Let's go to the activity area of high-level mutant rune beasts, even if we only hunt a seventh-level mutant rune beast, it is better than killing a bunch of low-level mutant rune beasts here." ”
Xuan Ai said, "Level seven...... It's very dangerous to go deep into the wasteland, what if we encounter a level 9 or 10 mutant run......e beast? We simply can't beat it. ”
Guo Twelve said: "Not necessarily, if you encounter a ninth-level or tenth-level mutant rune beast, even if you can't beat it, there should be no problem in escaping." ”
The Eagle Demon said disapprenously, "Where are there so many ninth-level and tenth-level mutant runic beasts? You are too careful. ”
Xuan Ai said helplessly: "Uncle, you don't know the situation here, this place is very special, if it weren't for the fact that there are so many mutant rune beasts...... Think about it, a sect as big as Haimen can't clean up a secret realm...... Up to now, we can't figure out where so many mutant rune beasts came from, let alone the ninth and tenth levels, I heard from the elders that the eleventh and twelfth mutant rune beasts have appeared in piles, which is very scary. ”
Guo Twelve said: "We wander around the edge of the activity area of the high-level mutant rune beasts, and we can always find a lone level 7 or 8 mutant rune beast, and there is no challenge in hunting down the level 5 and 6 mutant rune beasts, and the harvest is not great. ”
Xuan Ai seemed to be lacking in confidence, he was just a spell maniac, and he wanted to hunt fifth-level and sixth-level mutant rune beasts, although he was a little reluctant, but he could still hold on, and if he wanted to hunt seventh-level and eighth-level mutant runic beasts, it was a bit overwhelming, and Haimen did not encourage disciples to skip the level of hunting. He smiled wryly, "I'll go...... Not much effect. ”
Guo Twelve smiled and said, "You don't need to do it, just do some auxiliary work." ”
Xuan Ai thought for a moment and nodded, "It's okay, I need points." "He's going to advance soon, he's going to need the points of the legacy, and if he can get one more chance of passing, he can't resist the temptation.
Guo Twelve asked, "How many points can you get for hunting a seventh-level mutant rune beast?"
Xuan Ai said: "The calculation method is very troublesome, and I can't figure it out, anyway, if you kill a seventh-level mutant rune beast, you should get a lot of points." ”
Guo Twelve recalled the giant perching dragon, and took Xuan Ai, the Eagle Demon, the Darkwinged Demon Scorpion and the Blade Shadow Mantis, and ran towards the activity area of the high-level mutant rune beast.
Along the way, the giant dragon went on a rampage, and a large group of low-level mutant runic beasts were dispersed. Xuan Ai kept inspecting the rune map, and after a long time, he said: "You can't go any further, if you go down this road, you will enter the mountainous area, where there are a large number of high-level mutant rune beasts, let's be careful." ”
Guo Twelve found that there were many fewer low-level mutant rune beasts around, and occasionally saw some sixth-level mutant rune beasts wandering, and immediately fled after discovering the giant perching dragon.
Not far away, the mountains are undulating, and there are many small hills on the ground, and the forest is lush, and the view is somewhat obstructed.
Xuan Ai said: "Twelve, your giant dragon ......"
Guo Twelve understood what he meant, and with a spell in one hand, the giant dragon quickly shrunk and turned into a mini giant dragon again.
Xuan Ai said, "Now we can look for the seventh-level mutant rune beast, see how lucky we are!" There was a hint of nervousness in his voice.
