Chapter 7: Beast Hunting Mission
At the entrance of the ancient forest, there are a large number of martial arts academy students, in addition to which some alchemists set up stalls here.
The alchemists sell low-grade healing medicines, which are cheap and practical, and they also buy all kinds of materials here.
Seeing this plainly dressed young alchemist, Li Mo smiled slightly, and the past came to mind.
When he was young, he also spent years selling medicine outside the dangerous land of the ancient forest like them.
Without thinking too much, the four of them quickly walked into the ancient forest with a large number of students.
The sky immediately darkened, and the huge towering trees obscured the sky, with only occasional small bits of sunlight.
The ground is covered with layers of leaves, and stepping on a dead log can be terrifying.
As they went deeper, the other teams that had come in together gradually disappeared, and the occasional sound of fierce fighting was heard in their ears, and when they were about to enter the dense forest, there was a sudden sound of dogs barking in front of them, and then a group of ghouls appeared.
"Hey, this is a brute? It doesn't look very fierce. ”
Li Gaoyuan fixed his eyes and was about to rush forward with his sword.
"Slow down!"
Li Xiaoyong immediately stopped him, and then shouted a few times at the ghoul dog.
More than a dozen ghouls scattered in an instant, and disappeared without a trace.
Li Gaoyuan was stunned: "How can these brutes be more timid than cats?"
Li Xiaoyong laughed and said, "Senior brother, don't worry, these ghouls are just the lowest brute beasts, timid by nature, and feed on carrion corpses. When you get to the second-class brute beast area, you will have to be busy. ”
"Then let's go!" Li Gaoyuan exclaimed excitedly.
Li Xiaoyong and the others entered school a year earlier, and they have already received a lot of beast hunting tasks, so they are very familiar with the path of this Wuteng Ancient Forest.
In order to save time, the four of them avoided the territory of various first-class brute beasts, and after half a day's journey, they arrived at the second-class brute beast area.
As far as the eye can see, there is a valley area.
On both sides of the stream, there are more than a dozen black-skinned boars, one fat and strong, and two fangs as sharp as a sword.
"These are juvenile boars, as long as you avoid their shocks. Our brother and sister will deal with the left side first, and the two junior brothers can go to the right side to lead one or two out. If you feel dangerous, it's never too late to wait until we're done with it. After Li Xiaoyong finished speaking, he took his sister to the left side of the stream.
"I'm going to try the details of these beasts first. ”
As soon as the two left, Li Gaoyuan immediately said.
"Go ahead. Li Mo said lightly.
Li Gaoyuan hurriedly pulled out his long sword, landed on the right side in a few jumps, picked up a stone, and threw it towards the nearest young pig.
The young pig was hit by a stone, turned its head and saw the two of them, and immediately rushed to the scene.
"Good time!"
Li Gaoyuan laughed loudly, facing the brute beast for the first time, without the slightest fear.
He dodged the impact of the young pig, and his backhand was a sword, which slashed the young pig in the neck.
Where could this young beast withstand this full sword, and was suddenly cut into three points by this sword, and the blood soared.
"Second-class brute beasts, it turns out that it's nothing more than that!"
Li Gaoyuan succeeded with a sword, and his confidence increased greatly, this time he didn't need to lead the beast at all, he rushed directly into the beast herd, and fought five young piglets alone with the strength of one person.
On the other side, Li Xiaoyong's brother and sister fought eight piglets, which was also extremely easy.
Compared with the fierce fight between the three of them, Li Mo walked slowly by the stream like an outsider.
He knew very well that these young pigs that had not yet grown into adult beasts would not pose any danger to the martial disciples around the middle of the Rock Realm.
Instead of going to help, let's see what medicinal herbs are around here.
However, after a short period of time, more than a dozen young pigs were all killed.
Seeing Li Gaoyuan killing a few heads alone, Li Xiaoyong laughed and said: "Seeing that it is the first time that my junior brother has encountered a brute beast, it is really admirable." ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Li Mo.
Seeing him standing quietly behind him alone, he didn't move anything, but bowed his head slightly, thinking that he was a little self-aware.
A character like Li Mo in the Condensation Realm is usually a drag oil bottle for the team.
I'm not afraid that this kind of person won't make a difference, but I'm afraid that the kind of stupid guy who has a low cultivation level and likes to rush to the front will pull the whole team into danger.
Therefore, Li Mo is just watching the battle like this, but it is good for everyone.
It's just that his brows are slightly furrowed.
Just because the boy stood by the stream, his leisurely posture seemed to be a leisurely walk in his own courtyard, which seemed incompatible with this murderous forest.
The freshmen who have just entered the school have such a transcendent momentum.
Here, Li Gaoyuan said a few words modestly, and then asked, "Do these young beasts have Neidan on them?"
Retracting his gaze, Li Xiaoyong shook his head and said, "None of the young beasts have Neidan, but the wild boar teeth can be used in medicine, but some can be collected." ”
So they took the boar's tooth and went on their way, and in a short time, when they had crossed a small hill, they saw a large flock of gray foxes.
"These adult gray foxes are agile and have sharp claws, but it doesn't matter if you want to avoid them. Li Xiaoyong said.
"Do they have Neidan on them?" asked Li Gaoyuan, with wide eyes.
Li Xiaoyong smiled: "Although not every adult beast has an inner pill, but with so many of them, how can there be two or three inner pills." ”
Li Gaoyuan suddenly perked up, and said to Li Mo: "If we take this Water Fox Inner Pill, you can refine some more cultivation pills, and we can eat it, it will be worth a few months of hard work." ”
When Li Xiaoyong said this, he was surprised and said, "This junior brother can refine the pill?"
Li Gaoyuan laughed and said, "Of course, he is an alchemist. ”
Although Li Gao was far from explaining Li Mo's alchemist level, this was enough to make Li Xiaoyong immediately change his opinion of him, and said in surprise: "It turns out that the junior brother is a Danwu dual cultivator, if there is a place for the junior brother to help in the future, please don't shirk the junior brother." ”
Li Mo smiled lightly: "Do your best." ”
As soon as the words fell, Li Gaoyuan followed Li Xiaoyong's brothers and sisters into the water fox group.
After a fierce fight, more than a dozen water foxes were all killed, and the fox's belly was dissected and searched, and three Neidan were really found.
The first time he harvested Neidan, Li Gaoyuan was overjoyed.
Li Mo seemed much calmer, thinking that back then, even if it was an eighth-rank brute beast Neidan, his treasure house was full of several large boxes.
Immediately afterwards, the four of them walked all the way, and encountered second-class brute beasts such as giant rats and black-eared cats, and the harvest of Neidan and materials gradually increased.
Li Mo has never participated in the battle, but has only searched for various medicinal materials in the territory of the brute beast, and has gained a lot.
At noon on this day, he finally arrived at the territory of the Red Horn Fire Ox, and stood on the mountain rock and looked down, and there were five or six Red Horn Fire Ox on the edge of a meadow under the valley.
Each head was a strong man, with red sharp horns more than a foot long, straight and straight forward, like two sharp knives.
"This is the Redhorn Fire Ox? This head is quite big. Li Gaoyuan said in a low voice.
Li Xiaoyong nodded: "The Red Horned Fire Bull is a more ferocious type of second-class brute beast, with strong attack power and the ability to spit fireballs. However, as long as you master its offensive rules, it is not difficult to deal with. Brother Gao Yuan, you will follow my sister and me, and when you get acquainted with it, you will be able to stand alone. ”
Li Gaoyuan nodded, and Li Xiaoyong said to Li Mo again: "Little Brother Mo, you stay away, this fire bull has a long sprint distance, and the fireball spits fast, in case it is stabbed or hit, it is not a joke." ”
was looked down upon all the way, Li Mo smiled and said nothing, but he didn't defend anything.
"Shattered Mountain Axe!"
"Flowing Flower Sword!"
Li Xiaoyong's brother and sister took the lead in plunging into the herd of fire cattle, and Li Gaoyuan followed closely behind, and suddenly the calm grass turned into a killing field.
The fire bull sometimes sprints, sometimes spits fireballs.
The trio alternately dodged, sometimes attacked.
Li Mo continued to search for usable medicinal herbs in the surrounding area, and it didn't take long for this group of adult red-horned fire bulls to be killed and a Neidan was dissected.
Li Xiaoyong was very generous, and he was not confined to these two inner pills, and threw them to Li Gaoyuan casually.
Li Gaoyuan was not hypocritical, thanked him and put it away.
The four of them continued to go deeper along the meadow, avoiding the large herd of fire oxen, and specifically sought out a small group of fire oxen.
By the afternoon, the three of them had already captured more than a dozen Fire Bull Neidan, and this alone was already worth the trip.
Just as we reached the depths of the valley, in front of a small river, a fire ox appeared that was larger than ordinary red-horned fire ox and covered with fiery red lines.
"The Red Horned Fire Bull Elite!" Li Gaoyuan snorted, his face flushed with excitement.
"Finally found it. Li Xiaoyong also smiled, and then said in a deep voice: "I attract it head-on, and Brother Gao Yuan and my sister are attacking on the left and right. Then he said to Li Mo, "Little Brother Mo, you have to stand farther away." ”
As soon as the words fell, the three of them slowly touched the Chijiao Fire Bull Elite from three sides, and then Li Xiaoyong jumped up and flew towards the Fire Bull Elite.
As soon as the fire bull elite noticed that someone was coming, he opened his mouth and spewed out a ball of fire.
Don't look at Li Xiaoyong's big size, but his movements are very agile, he dodged the fireball, and after a few ups and downs, he reached the elite of the fire bull, swinging the axe and slashing.
The elite of the fire bull is not easy to deal with, and the horns are stabbed, and the corners of the swords collide together, making a crisp sound of gold and stone intertwined, and it is even harder to shock Li Xiaoyong back two steps.
At this time, Li Gaoyuan and Li Jing also killed from the left and right.
Li Mo stood from a distance and watched the battle, moving down from time to time, easily avoiding the deflected fireball.
This fire bull elite is several times stronger than ordinary fire bulls, even if the three of them besiege it, they didn't distinguish between the superior and inferior for a while, and the fire bull elite skin is thick and thick, Li Jing stabbed it several times, but only left a few white marks on its skin, and there was no blood.
However, Li Gaoyuan aimed at the opportunity, and stabbed the fire ox in the shoulder with a sword at the right time, and blood flowers appeared.
The fire bull was injured, and the attack became more violent, rushing and colliding, and it was extremely ferocious.
"Flying flowers and leaves!"
"Broken halberd and sinking sand!"
"Stars are like chess!"
The three of them were not intimidated by the elite dash of the Fire Bull, and each of them used all their strength to besiege it.
Li Mo observed this situation and saw that the three of them were fighting steadily, and he knew that the outcome had been decided.
He looked left and right, and found a patch of water spirit grass by the river, so he went over to pick it.
When the medicinal herbs were collected, with a dull sound, the fire bull elite also fell to the ground.
