To the west of Dai Viet is the Kingdom of Wei Tse.
Lutian City, Qianye Tower.
A tall, thin old man with a slightly bald head and a hooked nose and deep eyes paced back and forth in the room, muttering to himself.
"Basang, twenty-three years old, second level of blood realm, inherits thunder attribute skills, and has unparalleled combat power."
"Zhao Lin, nineteen years old, in the early stage of the Blood Realm, has surpassed the level of combat power."
The tall and thin old man paused, tapped his fingers on the table twice, and laughed softly.
"That's great! Both of them are martial arts geniuses. They may become Yuanjing warriors in the future. Unfortunately... they won't live until that time!"
This is where the main hall of the Lieyan Sect, the largest sect in the Weizi Kingdom, is located.
Unlike Dai Viet, Weze is a country composed of multiple tribes. The royal power has declined and power is firmly controlled by large sects.
Over the years, outstanding martial artists in Weizi have emerged one after another, and they have performed well in recent martial arts competitions.
With the rising tide, the Red Flame Sect has continued to expand its power and has become the largest sect in the Western Region.
Outsiders think that the rise of Weitz stems from the unique dragon bone tree in the world, but the real situation is not entirely like this.
Decades ago, the Red Flame Sect secretly sent people to sneak into various countries to collect young people with martial arts talents, and used various means to bring them back to the sect for training.
If there is a particularly outstanding genius who already belongs to a certain sect, he will be assassinated directly.
At the same time, some young people with good qualifications were also sent to sneak into sects of other countries. On the one hand, they stole the skills from their teachers and on the other hand, they secretly passed on the news.
The tall and thin old man's name is Huo Shan. He is the Supreme Elder of the Scarlet Flame Sect and the person in charge of this matter.
"Someone is coming...meow."
Huo Shan called out in a deep voice, waking up the black cat who was napping on the bed and barking.
"Great Elder, what are your orders?"
A young man wearing an embroidered short robe walked in quickly, bowed and saluted.
"Go and call Tuza and Enli."
"yes."
The young man turned around and walked out. After a while, ten strong men entered the room one after another and knelt down on one knee.
"Meet the Great Elder."
These men have a calm temperament, strong Qi and blood in every gesture, and their cultivation is above the second level of Blood Realm.
There is also a special point. They have square faces and soft facial features. They do not have curly hair and deep eyes like most people from the Western Regions. Instead, they resemble the people from the Central Plains of Dai Viet.
"Tuzha, please read these two secret letters."
Huo Shan flipped his palm, and the two letters slowly flew towards the tall man who was leading them.
The tall man grabbed the letter and glanced at it quickly.
In addition to the text, the letter also contains portraits of Zhao Lin and Basang.
"Great Elder, what do you mean..."
Tuza handed the letter to others to circulate and made a gesture of cutting his throat.
Huo Shan smiled slightly, "Yes, you take four people to the Yanyun Mountains and kill the young man named Zhao Lin, Enli..."
"My subordinate is here!"
A strong man of medium build beside Tuza responded.
"Take people to Leimu Cliff and kill Basang."
"yes!"
Tuza looked puzzled, "Great Elder, if the five of us kill a person in the early stage of the Blood Realm, won't it be a bit overwhelming? In fact... one of my subordinates is enough!"
Huo Shan said nothing, his sharp eyes staring at his face.
Tuza was shuddered and quickly bowed his head, "This subordinate knows his mistake and should not question the great elder."
Huo Shan suddenly laughed, "Either you don't do this kind of thing, or if you want to do it, do it cleanly, without any mistakes."
"Remember, you only have one chance."
As he spoke, falcon-like eyes passed over everyone's faces, "We must not let Dai Viet and Wu Che know that we sent people to assassinate their talented warriors. If we fail, don't I have to tell you what to do?"
Ten people shouted loudly at the same time: "If you miss something, raise your head and come see me!"
"very good."
Huo Shan nodded, "Without further ado, you should leave early."
"yes!"
…
Ever since he discovered that there was an uninvited guest in Guyan Mountain, Zhao Lin had been paying attention to it.
This is most likely an alien beast.
Because no matter it is an ordinary bird or beast, it is impossible to hunt a dozen wild pheasants in one go, let alone eat only the internal organs.
Since it is a strange beast, is it possible for the spirit beast map to absorb its soul?
If you want to know the answer, you must first find out what kind of strange beast it is.
In the following days, Zhao Lin successively discovered the corpses of small animals such as weasels, squirrels, and hares, which had also had their internal organs eviscerated.
But the most common ones are wild pheasants.
After careful observation, Zhao Lin found some strange footprints on the snow.
These footprints have no beginning or tail, often only a few shallow ones.
Apparently, this strange beast can fly.
But its footprints don't have three or four fingers like most birds, but five claws!
The paw prints are in the shape of a plum blossom, much like those left by a feline.
A flying cat?
Zhao Lin was startled for a moment, and suddenly remembered that he had seen a strange beast in the books of Chuanjing Pavilion.
The inner court disciples are also responsible for garrisoning the Medicine Mountain, so the Sutra Pavilion has some books about strange beasts that cannot be seen in the Tianshui Pavilion.
As soon as Zhao Lin arrived in the inner courtyard, he read through all the relevant books.
One of the books records a strange beast called the Wind Raccoon, which looks very similar to the beast in Ancient Rock Mountain.
The wind raccoon is also called the wind raccoon beast or the wind raccoon beast. It likes to eat the internal organs of animals. It looks like a lynx and has a rare blue fur.
It usually lives in high trees, with golden-red eyes and a short tail.
The wind raccoon is a strange beast belonging to the wind. Although it has no wings, it can move with the wind and move like a shooting star.
"If it's really a raccoon, you can't miss it."
Zhao Lin was greatly moved. Beasts with special attributes were extremely rare. The souls of the Ice Silkworm and Thunder Catfish were all obtained by chance.
If you can absorb the spirit of the wind raccoon, not only will you be able to achieve a breakthrough, but you will also be able to gain the rare wind attribute!
The wind energy is not as difficult to tame as the thunder energy, and the Guihai Jue can also be used to control it, and your speed will surely reach a higher level.
But... the spirit beast map already occupies seven grids, and if it is increased to eight more grids, the slots are about to be filled.
Zhao Lin likes to leave room for things when doing things. He feels at ease only if he has one or two spare spaces. Otherwise, if he encounters a better spirit in the future, he will only be disappointed.
But then I thought about it, the spirit beast map has the ability to upgrade, the wind raccoon is obviously a higher-level beast than the white-throated sharp-tailed swift, and does not need to occupy a new grid.
Just like the old scalper was replaced by the bear, and the rhinoceros-headed bat was upgraded to the silver-winged bat.
Thinking of this, Zhao Lin started to capture this wind raccoon.
The Fengli flew extremely fast, so it was impossible to catch it directly. Thanks to his previous hunting experience, Zhao Lin had a plan in mind.
He made a special trip to Yongning City and bought ropes, wire mesh, animal traps and other hunting tools at the grocery store and weapon shop.
I went to the drugstore to buy musk, sheepweed, honey and other medicinal materials, and made a pack of musk powder.
The prescription was told to him by Old Man Liu, who once raised scent-smelling martens for bandits. It might be useful during tracking.
Next, Zhao Lin began to arrange traps, nooses, hanging nets, animal traps, sticky nets, and basically all hunting methods in the mountains, just waiting for the raccoon to enter the urn.
