Although the overall activity of monsters is greatly reduced in winter, there are still many monsters walking through the mountains, especially those carnivorous beasts. In the winter when food is relatively scarce, their range of activities passively expands.
Therefore, no one dares to be careless. The camping locations are not only scattered but also well-chosen to avoid attracting hungry high-level ferocious beasts and being eaten in one fell swoop.
In addition, the Tianmen Mountains were blessed with so many blessings, and Jiang You didn't find anyone competing with her for territory, so she habitually picked a cliff and dug a cave on it, treating it as her own for these seven days. Time for a temporary break.
Lin Bi also thoughtfully cooked a pot of animal meat soup, which was just right to ward off the cold and refresh herself on this cold night. The four of them were warming themselves over the bonfire, holding hot soup in their hands, waiting for the bell to officially start the representative hunting meeting at the foot of the mountain.
But the bell didn't start, and a pair of shining green eyes suddenly appeared in the sight of the four people. When his eyes came closer, Jiang You realized that it was a big black python at the peak of Foundation Establishment!
Isn't this winter? Why are there snakes? Shouldn’t we hibernate this season? Jiang You couldn't help but wonder, but he also remembered that the monster in front of him was a monster, so how could it be compared to an ordinary snake?
But it has to be said that winter has a big impact on the python after all, because its speed is obviously slower than normal. Perhaps it climbed up the cliff to keep warm because it sensed the firelight and temperature at the cave entrance.
Although the motive was harmless, the python immediately became active when it saw the sudden appearance of prey. Its eyes revealed surprise and chills, and Snake Nobuko also vomited excitedly.
Jiang You also didn't expect to encounter a python at the peak of foundation building before the game started. Shouldn't this be the range of activities in the early stage of foundation building? Of course, he also knew that the so-called initial stage of foundation building was just an average. Some stronger monsters might also visit here in search of food, but unfortunately Jiang You encountered them.
At the peak of foundation building, Jiang You's plan was to run directly, but the big python in front of him was obviously weakened by the temperature, so it seemed that the four of them had no chance of winning.
Unfortunately, the bell at the foot of the mountain never rang, which also meant that their work was probably in vain.
But now there is no other choice. After all, this black python is too big. It has blocked most of the cave entrance, so the four of them must either resist or wait to die.
"Do it!" Jiang You finally ordered.
The two girls, Lin and Bi, quickly fired a shot with the already loaded bird gun. This was a bird gun with peak spirituality. After Jiang You continued to refine it, the bullets fired exceeded the one shot in the early stage of foundation building. But the bullet hit the big black python's scales, but only sparked a spark, and the big black python's body didn't even retreat.
Sure enough, even if the big black python is now frozen, its body has become harder and harder in the cold, not to mention that monster beasts have an advantage in physical strength compared to humans, and even high-grade spiritual weapons are difficult to break through. Not to mention this little talisman.
"Blazing Flame Technique!" Jiang You used Lin Yan's new secret skill, which is a fire spell in "Five Elements Gathering Spirits". Although it does not have the explosive power of the previous Pyrotechnic Technique, the flame temperature is much higher. Even if Even steel cannot survive the burning of this blazing fire technique for half a minute.
But not only was the big black python fine, its entire body actually stretched. It seemed that the high temperature had helped it return to normal.
Seeing that the big black python was getting more and more flexible, Jiang Youye immediately stopped what he was doing. It was indeed a monster beast at the peak of Foundation Establishment, and it was really not something that a group of Qi Practitioners like them could handle.
But now there is no other way. Fortunately, Tong Xi is now a foundation-building monk. She picked up the low-grade flying sword refined by Jiang Yougang and faced it. The low-grade spiritual weapon collided with the scales of the big black python and still could only scrape out. Sparks, but Tong Xi's counterattack finally stopped the big black python's offensive.
In the early stage of foundation building versus the peak stage of foundation building, although Tong Xi performed very reluctantly, even the geniuses from the big families did not have such a record. Of course, the key factor is the current low temperature, which also makes the big black python's speed only at the early stage of foundation building. This allows Tong Xi to rely on the speed advantage of his golden spirit root to deal with the big black python.
But this is not a solution after all. The wrong use of the Blazing Technique just now has already made the big black python a lot more active. If it is given another chance to warm up, it will be troublesome.
Seeing that there were no outsiders around, Jiang You could only ask everyone to put on masks, and then switched to Yue Lian's body and used the freezing technique on the big black python.
The snake's head was immediately trapped by a layer of ice, but the ice sealing technique that could only trap the early monks only put a layer of film on the big black python. After hitting the cave wall several times from left to right, all the ice layers shattered and fell off. .
It's just that Jiang You didn't intend to trap the big black python. She just wanted to cool down the black python. In fact, this was the case. After the attack of the ice sealing technique, the big black python's body that had finally warmed up cooled down again, and the speed was also reduced. It was a lot slower, and Tong Xi gradually established an advantage because of this.
After all, it was a monster beast at the peak of foundation building, and its intelligence was higher than that of ordinary monster beasts. It had a premonition that it would not be able to take the initiative, so the big black python also had the intention of retreating.
However, Jiang You would not let it go just like that. Jiang You, who had adjusted his breath, activated the freezing technique again, and at the same time asked Lin Bi and the two girls to shoot the big black python's eyes with a blunderbuss. The originally green eyes of the big black python were His eyes also turned red and his vision was greatly affected.
The big black python finally gave in. It quickly took its head back from the cliff cave and tried to escape into its own cave.
The bell at the foot of the mountain finally rang, and Jiang You wouldn't let it go now. A demon beast at the peak of foundation building has sixty-four foundation building points, and I don’t know how much spiritual nourishing grass it can be exchanged for?
So the four of them directly rode on it, continuing to weaken it while also trying to break through its scales and injure its flesh.
It's a pity that these scales are so hard that they can even be used to refine magic weapons. Ordinary spiritual weapons really can't do anything with them.
Even if the big black python now loses its direction due to blindness, if it is not given a fatal blow, it will only serve as a wedding dress for others in vain.
Jiang You began to think about various ways to hurt the big black python, but he was slapped in the face one by one by reality. Are they really too greedy?
But she thought of the last possibility, which was the blood demon woman inside her body. She was almost starving after not eating for a month.
After her spiritual sense detected that there were no outsiders around, she directly switched to the blood demon woman, and a drop of demon blood dripped from the blood teeth onto the scales outside the gallbladder of the big black python.
The demon blood seeped into the roots along the gaps in the scales, and the muscles inside turned into pus and blood, causing the scales to fall off.
Seeing that the flesh and blood was finally exposed, Jiang You didn't hesitate, biting the wound directly and sucking up the blood. But just for a moment, she felt full. After all, in front of her was a monster at the peak of Foundation Establishment. A blood demon with the seventh level of Qi training couldn't suck it to death directly, and naturally it couldn't turn it into a blood slave.
The reason why Fairy Jade was able to be accepted as a blood slave was because Yun Manluo had just killed her and Jiang You had sucked the last stream of blood essence. However, this kind of small and generous chance is difficult to replicate. .
Since it couldn't be subdued, it could only be hunted. The wound was now unprotected, so the four people attacked directly at the wound.
The big black python was in agony, but because its body was frozen, even its struggle became slow. It wasn't until the snake's gall was punctured by Tong Xi that it slowly lost its vitality.
The next step is to confirm with the hunting order. Since Jiang You's body does not have much immediate combat power, she also gives priority to using the body's snake powder to earn points. A monster at the peak of foundation building can still practice Qi even after seven days. The group got good results.
The hunting order was swept over the snake's head, and sixty-four foundation building points were directly credited to the account, but this also meant that the body of the big black python was already owned by the government, but it was a pity that it only contained weapon refining materials.
But it's not a loss in any case. After all, better weapon refining materials can still be bought with spirit stones, but the things that can be exchanged for points are all valuable but not marketable.
As time went on, the mountains became lively, and the brilliance of various spells continued to shine, scaring many herbivores to flee in all directions. It's just that most of the cultivation and varieties of these herbivores are not in the hunting list, otherwise they would definitely attract a large number of people to chase them.
After hunting the big black python, Jiang You didn't stop there. After all, his goal was far beyond that of others, and he had to keep hunting to achieve it.
Fortunately, these ferocious beasts have a strong sense of territory. Even in winter, once someone comes within a hundred steps of their cave, they will take the initiative to attack. This also saves Jiang You a lot of trouble. In one night, the four of them hunted together. Killed more than ten monsters that were only at the foundation level. Of course, except for the big black python, the others are only in the early stage of foundation building with only one point.
But even so, a few foundation building points are already very precious in the Qi training group. After all, not everyone has the strength to leapfrog challenges.
But this is not safe. After all, it is not uncommon for big families to ask foundation-building monks to lead qi-training monks to hunt and spawn monsters. The government also turned a blind eye to this. After all, their goal is just to call on everyone to hunt together. Kill ferocious beasts, and the ranking is not what they want to care about.
After all, this phenomenon is in the minority. Except for those who are in urgent need of foundation-building pills, all ranking rewards are just for fun. The biggest benefit is through point redemption. But for the same amount of foundation building points, the foundation building monks have the priority to redeem them in front of the qi training monks. Therefore, except for the need to support a few special disciples, most people will still kill monsters peacefully.
Even Jiang You will let Tong Xi have a certain amount of points after ensuring his ranking. The government's supplies are said to be sufficient, but they are also divided into good and bad. No one wants to end up picking up some junk.
In fact, Jiang You is also equivalent to a Foundation Establishment monk. Although she seems to be at the peak of Qi training, no matter her identity, she has the strength to defeat the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. Even Lin Zhu and Lin Bi are at the early stage of Foundation Establishment; As for Tong Xi, if he and Jiang You really fought, although the result would be defeat, it would still be enough to consume the Dantian of both of them in Jiang You's body.
So now Jiang You just wants to kill the monsters peacefully, and at the same time try to share the points with everyone. If he can't get a good ranking on the first day, he can only think of another way, and maybe adjust his goals. Prioritize accumulating points on a small number of people.
The sun had risen, and Lin Zhu used a blunderbuss to shoot down a vulture that was in the early stages of foundation building. He was planning to collect points and then go back to the cliff cave to rest for an hour or two when an arrow was shot at the feet of the four of them.
"This vulture belongs to us." A man said arrogantly to the four people with their faces covered.
Jiang You's face turned cold, but he soon became happy again, because this man was Lin Kuang, and behind him were Lin Fei and Lin Ao. They were really enemies.
She just didn't know if there were other Lin family members nearby, and she wasn't completely sure that she could kill three people instantly before they sent the signal, so she didn't identify herself, but just asked the three people: "Why?" ? It was obviously us who defeated him!"
Lin Ao smiled disdainfully and said: "A junior who is in the early stage of foundation building and a girl who is three years old in Qi training. I have to say that this record is enough to make you proud. It's a pity that this is the territory of our Lin family now, and everyone here All the monsters are the points of our Lin family. If you have any objections, I don’t mind speaking with my strength.”
Lin Ao's eyes were full of confidence. She didn't think that the miscellaneous team in front of her was her opponent in the middle stage of foundation building, but the other party didn't seem to make any response. Instead, Jiang You directly brushed away the points with a beep. .
"How dare you, Zhuzi!" The angry Lin Ao grabbed Jiang You directly.
