After entering the mountains, Ye Hong and the others followed the prompts given by the mission and went to a mountain area to look for traces of the Moon-Screaming Demon Wolf.
Marching to a cliff, Bai Yuntao, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and took out a map to look at it.
He said: "The location marked on the map is ahead, and we can reach it in a few hours. We need to discuss countermeasures first. The Howling Moon Demonic Wolf is not so easy to deal with."
Ye Hong asked: "Brother Bai, what are your plans?"
Bai Yuntao said: "Although I have never encountered the Howling Moon Demon Wolf before, I have read information about the Howling Moon Demon Wolf. This monster will use the moonlight to increase its combat power at night, and it will be at least twice as difficult to deal with as usual.
In the situation of the three of us, we must avoid fighting at night and try to hunt the Moon Howling Demon Wolf during the day, which can save a lot of trouble.
It's already night now, I suggest we rest where we are tonight and start again tomorrow morning. "
"Okay! I'll listen to you." Ye Hong and Tieshan nodded.
Bai Yuntao added: "There is another problem now, which is the combat strength of the three of us. If we encounter hundreds of Moon-Screaming Demonic Wolves at the same time, I think we are in a bit of a quandary.
My current cultivation in the middle stage of Nascent Soul is already at its limit when it comes to dealing with forty or fifty fourth-order Moon-Screaming Demonic Wolves. How is your combat power? "
Tieshan was a little embarrassed and said: "I have never come into contact with the Howling Moon Demonic Wolf, but I think I should be able to handle two or three of them at level four."
"Well... I can't tell you. I can protect myself. You don't have to worry about me. If you really can't handle it, just run away and I'll take care of the rest."
After thinking about it, Ye Hong decided that it would be better not to reveal too many of his trump cards in front of the two of them. After all, his relationship with Bai Yuntao was not good enough to know everything, and their friendship was not deep.
Everyone has their own secrets. Ye Hong doesn't want to tell them, and Bai Yuntao and Bai Yuntao are very sensible and won't ask.
"Okay, it will be the same tonight, we will take turns on duty."
After Bai Yuntao finished speaking, he took the lead in taking charge of duty, while Tieshan immediately entered the cultivation state. Since he couldn't make a fire, Ye Hong ate some dry food and then fell asleep to replenish his energy.
When it came to lighting a fire for cooking, Ye Hong and the others still had lingering fears. It was the first night after entering the mountains, and Ye Hong planned to light a fire to roast some meat.
Unexpectedly, not long after the bonfire was lit and the barbecue was getting fragrant, a loud beast roar came from the depths of the forest, and the sound was very close. Before anyone could react, a huge monster followed. The beast rushed out.
This monster is a black-haired orangutan about ten feet tall, with a sixth-level cultivation level. The three of them were all frightened by this huge creature and almost drew their swords to fight the beast.
However, the black-haired orangutan did not attack Ye Hong and the others after he ran out. Instead, he stared at the barbecue on the bonfire and drooled. He also uttered words to ask Ye Hong to grill more.
He even caught a beautiful tiger from the jungle and threw it to Ye Hong and the others, who then roasted the whole tiger and ate it.
At that time, several people were scared to death. Fortunately, Ye Hong had seen many strong people. He had also seen monsters that could speak human words and transformed into human forms. His psychological quality was strong enough, and he could communicate with chimpanzees after calming down.
I learned that the chimpanzee just wanted to eat barbecue and was not interested in the human practitioners. Because they happened to smell the aroma of barbecue nearby, they were attracted by the smell and ran over.
Knowing the situation and knowing that the black-haired orangutan was not malicious, Ye Hong was relieved a lot, and Bai Yuntao and Tieshan both breathed a sigh of relief. I thought I was doomed, but I didn't expect to meet a foodie.
Because the black-haired orangutan was not very good at speaking, and his speech was uneven and incoherent, Ye Hong had no intention of chatting with him.
The black orangutan waited for Ye Hong to roast the whole tiger meat. After eating the barbecue, he felt satisfied and left in a hurry.
Seeing that the orangutan finally left, Bai Yuntao and Tieshan both broke out in a cold sweat. They were really afraid that the orangutan would suddenly attack them.
Ye Hong felt that it was nothing, so he treated it as if he was entertaining a strange monster friend. He just grilled an extra piece of meat, which took a little more time.
As for why the black-haired orangutan was not hunted, Ye Hong also had his own ideas. The black-haired orangutan had no ill intentions towards him and the others, and he would not put it to death.
Ye Hong had learned on the mainland that although there were conflicts between monsters and humans, they were also certain races of monsters and low-level monsters that had not yet enlightened themselves.
High-level monsters with spiritual intelligence are very rational and will not target humans without deep hatred. Some even have kind thoughts towards humans.
The sixth-level monster is very precious. If you can hunt it, you can indeed get a lot of training resources, but you don't need it. The purpose of this trip to the mountains is not to kill the black-haired orangutan. There is no need to hurt it. life.
Another reason is that he is not absolutely sure that he can kill the black orangutan. Ye Hong does not want to expose too many of his trump cards.
There are some things that are inconvenient to show in front of Bai Yuntao and the two of them. It is of course the best choice to let the black-haired orangutan leave on his own. It can also form a good relationship with him. If he meets again in the future, he might be able to help himself.
Ye Hong thought so, but Bai Yuntao and the others did not think so. Bai Yuntao and the others always believed that the relationship between monsters and cultivators was hostile. Even if there were some that were not malicious to humans, they were still a minority.
The relationship between the monster beasts and human cultivators is also a law of the jungle. The monster cores and skins of monster beasts are the cultivation resources needed by human cultivators. In contrast, monster beasts eating human cultivators are also of great benefit to the monster beasts.
It was because of this incident that Bai Yuntao and others decided not to light bonfires at night in the mountains again. What I'm afraid of is that if it attracts some powerful and murderous monster next time, it will be really cool.
In the past few days, I have been walking in the mountains. In addition to the black-haired orangutan, I also encountered some monsters on the way, but they were all low-level monsters. The highest one was only level four, and they could be dealt with easily.
After a night's rest, the three of them continued to move forward and followed the instructions to the habitat of the Moon-Screaming Demon Wolf.
"Brother Bai, are you sure this is the place marked with the Howling Moon Demonic Wolf on the map?"
Looking at the vast desolate plain in front of him, with no trace of a single monster, Bai Yuntao was also puzzled.
"This is where it's marked on the map, that's right! Why isn't there a Moon Howling Demonic Wolf? Could it be that the information given by the academy is wrong?"
"There should be no problem with the information given by the academy. Did the Moon-Screaming Demon Wolves here move collectively? Or they went for a walk somewhere." Tieshan said.
"...Why don't you say you're going back to your parents' house?"
Bai Yuntao stepped forward to observe and said: "Monster beasts with territorial awareness will not move their homes casually. They will only expand their territory. This Moon-Screaming Demon Wolf is a demon beast with a strong territorial awareness. Moving The chances of leaving are slim.
There were obviously many traces of the Moon Howling Demonic Wolf living here before, indicating that we were not looking for the wrong place. It is very possible that these moon-whispering demon wolves have gone out to hunt. "
"I remember that the habit of the Howling Moon Demon Wolf is to go out to look for food at night, right? It's not right to do it in broad daylight now!"
Bai Yuntao suggested: "Whether it is or not, we have found the right place. Let's wait here for a while. Maybe those Moon-Screaming Demonic Wolves will come back soon."
"Okay then! Find a place nearby to hide first, so that those Moon-Screaming Demonic Wolves won't be discovered when they come back. We can wait until we find out the situation clearly before taking action."
Then the three of them found a place nearby to hide, waiting for the moon-howling demon wolves to return.
Time passed quietly, and soon it became dark. The three of them had been hiding in this place for most of the day.
Looking at the still empty Great Plains, Ye Hong was puzzled, "Why haven't I seen a Moon Howling Demonic Wolf come back for so long? Isn't it really moving?"
"I think so." Tieshan nodded in agreement solemnly.
Bai Yuntao suggested: "We've already waited, let's wait one more night! If we don't see the Moon-Screaming Demon Wolf coming back before dawn tomorrow, we'll go look for it nearby. There are so many Moon-Screaming Demon Wolves, so they won't go too far. .”
There was no other way, so the three of them had no choice but to continue waiting. After all, it was already night time again, and the combat power of the Howling Moon Demonic Wolf had greatly increased. If they went out to look for it now, even if they found it, it might not be a good thing.
A few hours later, Ye Hong began to feel sleepy. In the extremely quiet night, he suddenly heard a faint wolf howl of "Ouch~", which instantly woke Ye Hong up.
"Did you hear that?"
The two people who were in a state of cultivation also opened their eyes, became alert, and looked around.
"I heard the cry of the Howling Moon Demon Wolf. The sound was far away from here, as if it was in that direction." Bai Yuntao pointed to the direction from which the sound came.
"Shall we go over and take a look?" Tieshan asked tentatively.
"Let's go! I'm tired from waiting. If I don't move, I'll fall asleep." Ye Hong stood up impatiently and was ready to leave immediately.
"If you don't wait any longer, it will be very dangerous if we collide head-on with the Howling Moon Demonic Wolf!" Bai Yuntao was worried and stopped him.
"Let's be careful and hide our aura. It shouldn't be a big problem." Ye Hong was really tired of waiting. He didn't want to wait any longer and wanted to move around.
Bai Yuntao was still a little worried, "But what if..."
Seeing Bai Yuntao's hesitation, Ye Hong joked: "Speaking of Lao Bai, you haven't practiced the technique of hiding your aura, have you? Or have you no movement technique to escape? Are you still so cowardly in the middle stage of Nascent Soul?"
"Of course I have practice! I just think it's better to be on the safe side."
"It's no problem if you do. If things really go wrong, just run away!"
After Ye Hong finished speaking, he still felt a little hesitant and undecided when he saw Bai Yuntao. Ye Hong thought for a while and considered it.
Then he said: "Why don't you two stay here and watch, and I'll go over there to check. It's really risky for Tieshan that your cultivation level is only at the Golden Core stage."
Tieshan did not agree and said boldly: "You are here, why are you afraid? It's not like you just go and do it. I will go with you."
Seeing Tieshan's insistence, Ye Hong didn't know what to say and immediately looked at Bai Yuntao.
"Old Bai, you..."
Bai Yuntao gritted his teeth and said, "You two with low cultivation levels have gone, so why should I not go? Let's go!"
Ye Hong burst out laughing immediately and patted Bai Yuntao, "Don't worry, Old Bai! I'll block the Moon Roar Demon Wolf when it comes, and I'll make sure you have time to run away."
"Hey! I still need you to help me block it? Did my mid-stage Nascent Soul realm be practiced in vain?"
"Okay, okay! Lao Bai, you are awesome!"
Ye Hong said to the two of them as he walked: "I'm serious, you two, don't force it! Matters related to life are not trivial."
"It's just a few wolf cubs! What's the point? Why practice if you're afraid of this? Anyway, since I, Tieshan, have come with me, I haven't said anything about backing down!" Tieshan always speaks straightforwardly, with a sense of brute force and courage. .
"I have no problem! The fourth-level Moon Howling Demonic Wolf is no match for me even at night."
Then the three of them quickly flashed through the dark night, heading towards the direction of the howling moon wolf.
