Chapter 1540 Hunting
Then everyone was asked to check their equipment, and with the last order, the twenty-one people set off.
The middle part of the road is a plain with thousands of miles, and there are no high mountains. Even if there are some forests, there is no way to hide large spiritual beasts inside, so Elder Gong and the others chose the destination at the junction of the central and southern parts. This place is not far from Mofeng Ridge where Chen Xuan was kidnapped by Greedy Wolf last time, only a day's journey away. However, it would take Chen Xuan and the others five or six days to get to that place now, because the cultivation levels of this group of people were uneven at all, and they could only try their best to take care of the weak.
Passing through some small forests along the way, you can also hunt some low-level beasts, but the highest level of cultivation among these beasts is equivalent to Chen Xuan's realm. For the Shenxin Sect and the others, there is no point in hunting at all.
At first, some people were happily hunting, but later they simply turned a blind eye. Because everyone discovered that from time to time some cultivators would rush past them, and it seemed that their destination was also the forest they had chosen.
Most of these cultivators were in groups of three or five, with the largest group having as many as fifteen people.
Seeing this situation, Elder Gong and Senior Brother Qi became anxious and ordered the disciples of Shenxin Sect to speed up. Chen Xuan, who was originally very proud, was a little unable to come at this time.
But although Chen Xuan was only at the fifth level of Qi refining, he was not the least able to follow. He found that almost all the disciples below the seventh level of Qi refining were panting from exhaustion, even more tired than himself. Even among the seventh-level disciples, there are some whose performance is worse than mine. This inevitably increased Chen Xuan's self-confidence a lot, and also surprised Elder Gong and Senior Brother Qi.
Although Chen Xuan came out this time, he also brought a space ring, but the ring could not be shown to others at all. He could only pack another bag and bring out one or two pieces of clothing and a sword. The main thing is the sword, which must be hung outside. Otherwise, if he uses it when the beasts are fighting, others will definitely have to figure out where his sword comes from.
This sword is a bit heavy, but Chen Xuan doesn't feel it is much of a burden. It’s good to endure more hardships on the way to cultivation. Why do some people deliberately tie a sandbag to do weight-bearing training? Doesn't "Twenty-Eight Beasts Body Refining Technique" introduce many such methods?
In the first three days of going out, everyone brought their own food. Chen Xuan also pretended to be getting food from the bag, but in fact he was secretly getting food from the ring. After all, the space inside the ring is airless and can better preserve food.
Three days later, almost everyone had eaten all their food. Even if they had not finished eating, the smell was already very abnormal. At this time, everyone's eyes were turned to Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan chuckled, grabbed a handful of top-quality wood spirit crystals from the bag, and handed it to Senior Brother Qi, "Senior Brother Qi, next, I promised to provide logistics, so I took out the money. Now it's your turn to arrange for people to go there." Purchased.”
Everyone looked at the top-quality wood spirit crystal in Senior Brother Qi's hand, their eyes gleaming, and they were not only envious but envious!
Senior Brother Qi counted the top-quality wood spiritual crystals in his hand. There were forty-seven in total, worth more than two thousand spiritual crystals. To buy food, he had to use a large carriage to pull it, and the food was the most exquisite and delicious.
"Okay, Shi Quan and Jinchuan will take these two top-grade wood spirit crystals to a nearby town to buy some food. By the way, bring some water." Senior Brother Qi handed them two top-grade wood spirit crystals. Jing, because he needed to bring water, he actually took out an ordinary spiritual crystal from his pocket and added it.
Shi Quan and Jinchuan curled their lips, secretly scolding Senior Brother Qi for being stingy.
At night, the two men finally came back, and sure enough they brought a bunch of food. Senior Brother Qi also asked the female disciples who were accompanying him to light a fire and heat the food. Then everyone gathered together to enjoy the starlight dinner.
It was indeed quite lively when young people gathered together. On the contrary, Chen Xuan, the youngest, became the one who no one paid attention to. Chen Xuan was not angry, so he sat down cross-legged next to the crowd and started practicing the fourth level of spiritual power. This noisy environment is difficult to obtain easily. Chen Xuan had nothing to do anyway, so he took advantage of it.
After an unknown amount of time, many people set up tents and went in to rest, and the sounds of playing in the night also stopped. Chen Xuan stopped his work and turned to use his spiritual energy to regulate his meridians and enter his own state of rest.
Chen Xuan has been resting like this for the past three days, so the disciples who are traveling with him have become accustomed to it. But at the beginning, Chen Xuan's behavior was definitely novel. Why is Chen Xuan's baggage so small and fluffy? It turns out that he doesn't need to bring a tent. He can just find a place to sit down and meditate, which is equivalent to resting. This immediately provoked several people to follow him for a whole night. As a result, those few people They had panda eyes for two days, which cut off their interest in continuing to study. At least when they went out, imitating Chen Xuan was a thankless thing.
On the evening of the fourth day, everyone finally arrived at their destination—Black Wind Forest.
The Black Wind Forest is a primeval forest, a place rarely visited by humans. As soon as everyone arrived at the entrance of the forest, they felt that the temperature seemed to have dropped ten degrees, and there was a chilly feeling all over their bodies. The forest was even darker, and there were bursts of Black air drifts. Seeing this situation, even the most careless person will have to brace themselves.
At noon, in the market town closest to the Black Wind Forest, Senior Brother Qi was no longer stingy. Instead, he took out thirty top-quality wood spirit crystals, purchased a large amount of food, and distributed it to each disciple. They keep it to themselves. This is at least three days' worth of food for these people.
Everyone had no intention of going into the forest tonight, so they all prepared tents and bonfires outside. They waited for daybreak, then began to rush into the forest, and then happily slaughtered some orcs.
Elder Gong and three disciples also gathered together to plan their actions after dawn. Quarrels broke out from time to time. This had nothing to do with Chen Xuan, he had already started practicing.
When the sun shone on everyone from the edge of the forest, everyone gently shook the dew off their bodies and took a deep breath of fresh air.
Senior Brother Qi ordered everyone to have breakfast, and then gathered everyone together to arrange their work.
Twenty disciples, in groups of two, and Elder Gong formed eleven groups and entered the forest side by side. Each group was separated by half a mile to ensure that they could respond to each other. If you find that the beast is unable to cope with it, you will pass the information to the connected group, and then pass it inward from this group. Finally, five people including Elder Gong will arrive together, and a total of thirteen people will deal with the beast. clan.
Senior Brother Qi also assigned a number to each group and stipulated a concise language for delivery.
After the explanation was clear, Senior Brother Qi directly put Chen Xuan and him into a group, and designated his group as number two. Originally, Senior Brother Qi, as the strongest disciple, should be divided into No. 1 or No. 11, and be placed on the two sides, but in order to protect Chen Xuan, he made his own decisions and became No. 2. After all, he can also be in the side group. Echoed.
Elder Gong is of course No. 6. He is in the center, ready to respond to both sides at any time.
The twenty-one members of the Shenxin Sect launched a net-like search of the Black Wind Forest. The length of this net was five miles. Once the orcs in this net were alerted and unable to escape, they would be besieged by everyone.
When Chen Xuan first entered the forest with Senior Brother Qi, he felt that the terrain was very flat, but it didn't take long before he discovered that mountains appeared in front of him. Chen Xuan knew that the real hiding place of the beast tribe was in the mountains, and Elder Gong and the others' plan was to go straight to the mountains.
Throughout the morning, there were shouts one after another in the mountains, causing birds to fly away in fright, and small animals to flee in panic, but Chen Xuan did not find any decent beasts, let alone spiritual beasts.
The most numerous birds in the forest are actually some birds, and the most ferocious of the birds is the goshawk. The goshawk is a level 3 beast, one level higher than the wolf. Its strongest attack power is the hardness of its claws and the speed of its dive. It is basically the ruler of the sky in the Black Wind Forest.
However, the Goshawk's realm is equivalent to the fourth level of human mortal realm, and they will never dare to offend the more than 20 people from the God's Heart Sect now. And these people are helpless against the goshawk flying in the sky. Except for Elder Gong who can barely fly with a sword, the others in this team can only have fantasies about the things in the sky.
After a long time, everyone finally found the pattern. Wherever there are goshawks, there will definitely be no large orcs. Because when they killed several clouded leopards, they didn't find the goshawk circling in the sky. Everyone was very surprised and scolded those eagles.
Chen Xuan and Senior Brother Qi didn't gain anything at all this morning. They found fresh Gang Bear excrement in the cave, but they couldn't find any trace of Gang Bear. In another place, the hair of some brachiids can be seen everywhere, but it is just hair. Where are the brachiids?
All the beasts in the queue disappeared as if they knew someone was coming.
Could it be that the shouting alarmed them, and they fled after hearing the wind.
At noon, while taking advantage of the break, Senior Brother Qi and Elder Gong had a discussion and decided to change their strategy. They canceled the shouting of everyone and only allowed to make noises when they found that they could not cope with the situation. They also stipulated that everyone should meet once every half a day. Inform each other of the situation.
After the order was issued, calm returned to the forest, and the birds in the trees no longer fled in panic, but the annoying goshawk continued to circle above everyone's heads.
After doing this, the effect was still obvious. Chen Xuan saw many small animals. They were all surprised when they saw Chen Xuan and Senior Brother Qi, but they did not run away desperately, but ran to the farther ones. The place is watching them.
Chen Xuan and Senior Brother Qi have no intention of hunting small animals. They are looking for high-level beasts, even spiritual beasts. Only when they find those orcs can they complete their search mission.
