In the evening of the next day, Shi Jiu learned that Li Dazhuang and others were going to hunt in Hengduan Forest tomorrow, so he asked to go together tomorrow. After drinking, Li Dazhuang agreed without thinking much.
At dawn on the third day, Shi Jiu and others packed up their equipment and set off towards the Hengduan Forest.
"Yesterday the village chief told me that hyena pigs appeared outside the mountains, and hunters passing by our village had already killed them. The village chief said that we should try our luck too, and maybe we could catch one." The man carrying a bow and arrows said. Li Dazhuang said.
Shi Jiu couldn't help but ask: "Is the hyena pig valuable?"
Li Dazhuang replied: "Haha, the hyena-mouthed pig is not an ordinary prey. It is a first-class underworld beast. If you are lucky, it can even give birth to an underworld core. And this underworld core is valuable. It can be used as medicine and can make elixirs. Helping people practice cultivation is what cultivators like the most.”
"Oh, really?"
"Yes, I also heard that the higher the level of the Hades Core, the more valuable it is, and it is often priceless. Do you still remember the Moon Howling Wolf we saw in the city before? That was The second-level underworld beast is not only extremely powerful, but can also spit wind blades from its mouth. Most people will be chopped by the wind blades before they can enter its body. Only cultivators can deal with it." Li Dazhuang was a little envious.
Shi Jiu remembered the corpse of the Howling Moon Wolf that he had seen before. Even though it was dead, it still had a faint majesty to it, and the feeling that made Shi Jiu want to touch the Howling Moon Wolf in confusion.
"But the hyena-mouthed pig we are going to hunt today is not that dangerous. This guy is relatively strong and likes to collide with all living things. As long as we cooperate in place, we can handle it no problem." Li Dazhuang patted the bow and arrow behind him and said confidently.
"It would be better if we could find a Hades core in it, although the chance of producing a Hade core is slim."
Shi Jiu had previously understood that the chance of a first-level underworld beast producing an underworld core was low, but when an underworld beast reached the third level, it would definitely have an underworld core.
Shi Jiu didn't say anything, he just looked at the Hengduan Forest getting closer and closer, thinking deeply in his heart. His instinct told him that this trip would be special.
An hour later, everyone arrived at the outermost edge of the Hengduan Forest.
The large forest in front of you can be seen as far as the eye can see. The tall trees are lush and green, and various sounds can be heard from time to time. The further you look inside, the dimmer the light becomes, like a giant beast that can eat everything.
Not only was Shi Jiu not frightened by the unknown and darkness before his eyes, he even exclaimed, "It's so spectacular!"
"Although we only move around the outskirts of the forest, it is still full of dangers. In addition to being wary of all kinds of ferocious creatures and underworld beasts, we also need to pay attention to other hunters, and they are often the most dangerous." At this time, Li Dazhuang instructed.
"After entering, brother Shi will follow me, and the others will work in pairs to search separately. When they are found, they will send a signal." After that, Li Dazhuang took Shi Jiu forward. Others followed their previous groups and headed in their own directions.
It was also the first time for Shi Jiu to enter the forest. In addition to being a little nervous, he was more curious. Even though they were on the outskirts of the forest, Shi Jiu saw many giant trees that were about ten feet thick. In his previous life, he rarely saw them, but now he saw quite a few, and he felt a little sigh in his heart.
At this time, Li Dazhuang turned back and whispered to Shi Jiu: "It's very dangerous in the forest. You have to follow me closely. After we find the target, we will go hunting. You can just hide and watch."
Shi Jiu nodded.
Half an hour later, Shi Jiu heard a low whistle. At this time, Li Dazhuang on the side became excited, "This is the signal, let's go, let's go over." After saying that, Li Dazhuang led Shi Jiu quickly towards the place where the sound came from. Run in the direction.
After a while, they came to the place where the signal was sent, and saw a group of black-horned sheep grazing in a small open space in front of them. At this time, several other groups of people in the group had arrived and dispersed. Li Dazhuang, who had already taken off his bow and arrow, was gently moving forward and aiming at one of them. After a simple eye contact with his companion, he saw the right moment and decisively shot the sharp arrow in his hand, followed by the others. Arrow in hand.
Two black-horned sheep fell to the ground, and the other black-horned sheep fled in all directions.
Upon seeing this, Li Dazhuang and others immediately ran forward and quickly used knives to bleed the two black-horned sheep that had fallen to the ground. They then hung the bled black-horned sheep behind the two fellow villagers, and then the group quietly hid behind them. Not far away in the grass.
After hiding in place, Li Dazhuang whispered: "The smell of blood is the favorite of the underworld beast. I hope the blood of the black-horned sheep can attract the hyena-mouthed pig." After speaking, Li Dazhuang stared at the open space in the distance.
About half an hour later, there was movement in the distance, and I saw long fangs at the corners of its mouth, and a pig-shaped ferocious beast with dark brown manes all over its body walking towards the open space ahead.
At this time, Li Dazhuang on the side whispered: "That is the hyena-mouthed pig. We will only shoot the closest one later." After saying that, Li Dazhuang raised the bow and arrow in his hand and aimed forward.
The hyena-mouthed pig did not notice the danger in the distance, but excitedly dug at the blood on the ground with its long tusks. Sure enough, the underworld beast likes the smell of blood, and the excited Hyakou Pig didn't pay attention to the dangers around it at all.
When the time came, Li Dazhuang decisively shot the arrow in his hand, and others followed suit. Then a long roar echoed around, and the hyena-mouthed pig with several arrows in its body screamed heart-rendingly. It kept twisting its body and tried to stand up. Another hyena-mouthed pig screamed while its companion was screaming. , rushing deep into the forest without looking back.
At this time, Shi Jiu and the others did not rush forward immediately. After waiting for a moment, Li Dazhuang and others slowly moved forward after observing that there was no danger around them. Then Li Dazhuang decisively wiped the neck of the pig with a knife.
After there was no movement at all, Li Dazhuang began to cut up the pig.
"The nucleus of the underworld is usually inside the head of the underworld beast. I hope we can have better luck." Li Dazhuang said while cutting.
After groping for a while, Li Dazhuang said disappointedly: "There is no such thing." Others also looked disappointed after hearing this.
"There was one just now, maybe there is one on the other end." Looking at the disappointed people, Li Dazhuang encouraged.
After hearing Li Dazhuang's words, everyone regained their confidence.
Then everyone headed in the direction where the other hyena-mouthed pig escaped. After advancing for several miles, they chose an open space, sprinkled the remaining sheep blood, and then retreated to a distance, waiting for the arrival of the prey.
Not long after, there was movement in the distant woods, and a wolf-like creature rushed out, with a hyena-mouthed pig in its mouth.
After seeing the creature in the distance clearly, Shi Jiu and others opened their eyes wide. It turned out to be a moon-howling wolf!
I saw the Howling Moon Wolf holding the hyena-mouthed pig in its mouth, slowly walking towards the bloodstains in the open space, its eyes watching the surroundings vigilantly. Shi Jiu and others hiding in the distance stared closely at Howling Moon Wolf.
Li Dazhuang, who was originally shocked, seemed to have made a decision. He gently gestured to the crowd. Everyone understood, and slowly raised the bow and arrow in their hands, aiming at the Howling Moon Wolf in front of them.
At this time, Shi Jiu noticed that there was a long wound under the Howling Moon Wolf's body, and occasionally red liquid dripped from the wound. "Is this Howling Moon Wolf injured?"
At this moment, Li Dazhuang and others found the right opportunity and shot the sharp arrows in their hands. The sound of breaking the wind caused by the sharp arrows alerted Xiaoyue Lang.
I saw that Howling Moon Wolf spit out the hyena-mouthed pig in his mouth, and then sprayed out several sharp wind blades in the direction of the arrow. The wind blades were accompanied by a whistling sound, and they collided with the sharp arrows. Falling down uncontrollably. Before Li Dazhuang and others could send out the second wave, Howling Moon Wolf rushed towards everyone.
Li Dazhuang did not hesitate, picked up the long knife, shouted: "Fight with it, guy!" and then rushed out first. Everyone else also picked up their own weapons and rushed towards the Howling Moon Wolf. Faced with everyone's charge, Howling Moon Wolf didn't seem to panic. After spitting out its wind blade and knocking over several people, Howling Moon Wolf rushed towards Li Dazhuang. In Xiao Yue Lang's opinion, Li Dazhuang at the front should be the most dangerous.
At the moment when the two were about to come into contact, Li Dazhuang swung the knife forward with force, and the Howling Moon Wolf sprayed out the wind blade again. The wind blade hit the blade hard, causing the swing of the knife to deviate from the original direction. At the same time, the Howling Moon Wolf With a flick of his tail, he hit Li Dazhuang hard. In an instant, Li Dazhuang vomited blood and crashed to the side. After getting rid of Li Dazhuang, Xiaoyuelang stared at Shi Jiu, and then pounced on Shi Jiu.
Seeing the Howling Moon Wolf rushing towards him, Shi Jiu was not afraid. On the contrary, he felt a little excited in his heart and clenched the dagger in his hand. When Xiao Yue Lang was about to pounce on Shi Jiu, Shi Jiu subconsciously dodged his body, then aimed at the wound under Xiao Yue Lang and stabbed with all his strength.
Then a wailing wolf howl sounded, Shi Jiu and Xiao Yue Lang fell to the ground one after another, and Li Dazhuang and others rushed over from a distance. Shi Jiu stood up quickly and looked at Xiaoyue Lang who was lying in a pool of blood with vigilance. He could see blood flowing from the hole opened by the dagger. After everyone arrived and checked that Shi Jiu was okay, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then everyone became excited.
