After An Yang comforted Jinchen, the sky had completely darkened, and he carried her to the bed. "Go to bed early today. Call me when you wake up. I will be there at any time."
Jinchen seemed to be in normal condition at this time. Thinking of what he had just looked like, his whole little face was frighteningly hot. As soon as he got to bed, he hurriedly got under the quilt. Only after hearing An Yang's words did a head emerge from the side, " Um."
An Yang smiled, patted Jin Chen's head and walked out.
However, he did not return to his room, but came outside the courtyard.
At this time, a large number of people had gathered outside the courtyard, but most of them were sitting cross-legged on the ground, seemingly practicing.
Only a middle-aged man stayed at the door, walking back and forth anxiously. He stopped and turned around when he heard An Yang opening the door.
"Master Ying, who are they?" Seeing the middle-aged man, An Yang casually cupped his hands and asked.
It turned out that the person walking around outside An Yangyang Courtyard was none other than Ying Cheng, the head of the Ying family, one of the four major forces in Dingyao City.
Although An Yang just handed over his hand casually, Ying Cheng did not dare to neglect, and returned the gift in a very formal manner before saying: "Your Excellency, has the alchemy been finished?"
Alchemy?
An Yang raised his eyebrows. He was indeed good at refining elixirs, and had also refined elixirs several times in the Ying family. Because when some spiritual pills become elixirs, they will explode with infinite suction to attract the surrounding spiritual energy, thereby increasing the concentration of spiritual energy in a certain place in a short time. Therefore, in the courtyard where he stayed, people outside the courtyard often came to practice.
But these people didn't bother him, and he didn't go out much, so he just let them go.
But I didn't make any pills today. The reason why they came here is because... Jinchen? No, no, to be precise, it should be: Tianchi Yoshitsune!
The Heaven and Earth Yoshitsune is an extremely terrifying technique. There are not many techniques in the world that can compete with it, even if there are any. And because of its heaven-defying effect, it naturally attracts spiritual energy far beyond some ordinary techniques. Therefore, it is not surprising even if the concentration of spiritual energy here is increased.
"It's just some gadgets to practice, but why did the leader of the Ying clan come here in person?" An Yang asked casually, not intending to tell Ying Cheng the truth.
"Originally, they are disturbing you by practicing here..." After hearing An Yang's question, Ying Cheng still did not dare to neglect at all and spoke immediately.
But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by An Yang, "It doesn't matter!"
Knowing that An Yang was dissatisfied, Ying Cheng immediately explained his purpose in the shortest possible words.
Dingyao City, from its name, you can tell that this place must be close to the Demonic Beast Mountain Range. In fact, this is indeed the case. Dingyao City is close to the largest monster mountain range in the Great Xia Dynasty: the Tianzhi Mountain Range.
There are many monsters in the Tianzhi Mountain Range, the strongest of which is a sixth-order monster dragon, and the strength of this monster dragon is comparable to that of the human race's powerful celestial beings.
This demon dragon is called the "Dragon King" by all the demon beasts. Under the dragon king, there are also thirty-six cave demon kings, all of whom are fifth-level demon beasts, equivalent to thirty-six half-immortals in the human race.
As well as the Little Demon King of the Seventy-Two Cave, they are all in the late fourth level, equivalent to the seventh, eighth or ninth level of human god cultivation.
In addition to these one hundred and eight demon kings, the Dragon King also has a large number of first-order, second-order, third-order and fourth-order monsters. It can be said that the overall strength of the Tianzhi Mountain Range is no longer inferior to that of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Because Dingyao City is close to the Tianshi Mountain Range, monsters will attack the town from time to time. Especially during the autumn harvest season, it is easy for small-scale beast tides to break out.
If left unchecked, monsters are likely to rob crops, causing many people to work for a year without harvesting anything. Even worse, your wife and children may be separated, and your family may be destroyed.
Why do beast tides occur more often in autumn? It's very simple, because the climate here is extremely cold in winter, let alone humans, even monsters don't want to come out in winter.
Therefore, they have to hoard enough food in the autumn, so they will attack human towns. Of course, there are some monster beasts that still need to hibernate in winter like ordinary beasts. They cannot move during hibernation, and they consume more than ordinary beasts, so they can only eat as much as possible before going to bed.
Therefore, in order to cope with the beast tide in autumn, every time when the autumn harvest is about to happen, the four strongest forces in Dingyao City, Jiang, Yao, Ying, and Ji, will organize members of the clan to carry out "autumn hunting" to hunt down monsters. Keep peace in the city.
Of course, most of those who would come to attack the town are low-level monsters. If the monster king under the Dragon King were to attack, not to mention the four clansmen, even the four major clan leaders would not be able to stop them.
Therefore, the members of the four tribes will not be completely wiped out. In other words, under normal circumstances, the losses of the four tribes are not great at all.
The children of the four tribes will also exercise their courage during autumn hunting, hunt monsters and improve their practical experience.
The furs, teeth, and horns of some monster beasts are very valuable, and there are also some herbs useful for cultivation in the mountains. Rather than repelling the beast tide, it is more appropriate for the four tribes to make a fortune.
After all, only in Qiuyou would so many people go into the mountains together at one time.
At other times, there are too few people entering the mountain, so the danger is naturally great. Therefore, the four tribes are happy to participate in the autumn hunting and make a fortune.
Of course, only four tribes in Dingyao City dare to regard autumn hunting as a money-making activity. Ordinary people without strength would never dare to enter the mountains.
As for Ying Cheng's purpose, it is also very simple. As early as this morning, Qiu Hunting had already begun, but some members of the Ying family directly practiced here because of the strong spiritual energy here, and did not even go to Qiu Hunting.
As a result, for this autumn hunting, the Ying family only had its first genius, Ying Hao, bringing more than fifty family elites there. This naturally made the other three families dissatisfied. We are all four major families, so why should your Ying family contribute less!
Therefore, Ying Cheng could only come to persuade these people, and persuaded some of them to leave, while another group stayed here. Ying Cheng could only stay to see when An Yang would finish refining the elixir.
But he didn't dare to open the door directly, for fear of disturbing An Yang's alchemy and causing his displeasure, so he could only pace around outside the courtyard.
The reason why he was so respectful to An Yang was also simple. First, because An Yang was the only alchemist in the city and had a distinguished status.
Secondly, there was a time when a fifth-level demonic beast entered Dingyao City. Even the four clan leaders were no match for it. Seeing that Dingyao City was about to be destroyed, An Yang suddenly took action and slapped the demonic beast to death. Since then, the four major clan leaders have been in awe of An Yang.
"It turns out to be the autumn hunt. In this case, the leader of the Ying clan went to reply to the other three clan leaders that I will bring the troops of the Ying family to participate in the autumn hunt tomorrow morning. In addition, my younger sister will also participate in the autumn hunt. Lie, I hope you, the children of the Ying family, will take more care of you." An Yang said.
Ying Cheng smiled: "In that case, I will go first."
So, early the next morning, Jinchen stood at the foot of the mountains with a confused look on her face. She was stunned when her brother explained the cause and effect.
What? ! Want her to hunt monsters!
