After a while, a female voice like a silver bell came: "Does this senior brother also want to take on the sect's mission?"
Liu Qingyi said in astonishment: "Girl, ah no, junior sister, hello."
The pony-tailed girl said: "I'm asking you if you want to take on the mission? There are only two of us left, do you want to get some company?"
Liu Qingyi muttered a little: "If you want... companionship, of course that's good."
Just now Liu Qingyi saw several groups of people looking for this girl, but they all seemed to be sent away by her. Now seeing her looking for him to form a team, he couldn't help but feel strange, and asked after a pause: "Why... why are you looking for me? "
The ponytail girl giggled, pointed at the little civet on Liu Qingyi's shoulder, and said with a look of great interest: "Hey, your civet is a bit special. We are rich in civets in Lichun County, but we have never seen one before. A black long-eared cat of this size.”
After saying that, the girl pointed at Liu Qingyi's waist and said with curiosity: "Is this bag of yours a sword bag? Do you also have sword-like magic weapons?"
Hearing this, Liu Qingyi covered the sword pouch at her waist and secretly screamed something careless. Because I was in a hurry to get up in the morning, I didn't put the sword pouch in my arms, but casually hung it on my waist together with the gray nameplate. It is said that wealth should not be revealed. Now that someone has seen through it, I can't help but feel panic and self-blame.
He hesitated for a while and then said: "I picked it up. I don't know what it is. I wore it for fun."
The ponytail girl laughed, shook the long knife in her hand, and said: "Come on, you are holding it like this, maybe you have picked up a spiritual treasure. Take it out and let me take a look. My water embroidery knife is a family heirloom." The top-grade magic weapon, let’s compete to see whose one is more powerful?”
Liu Qingyi saw that the long magical sword was as light as nothing in the girl's hand. He guessed that the girl also had an elder immortal Fu Yin in her family, so she smiled and said: "I really picked it up. I haven't figured it out yet. I don't know how to use it. You are sure." Be more powerful."
When the girl saw that Liu Qingyi's words were sincere and did not seem to be fake, she stopped pestering her and said softly: "I remember your surname is Liu and you are from Lan County, right?"
Liu Qingyi knew that he had been named by Li Xiangyu the day before yesterday, and many of these new Tsing Yi disciples knew him, so he blushed and said: "Exactly, my name is Liu Qingyi, what is my junior sister's name? Could it be that you are also just this year?" Are you a beginner in spiritual enlightenment?"
The girl flicked her ponytail and said: "My little sister Zuo Shu, you are from the Zuo tribe in Lichun County. I saw you the last time I entered the mountain. Haha, the gray disciples who were recruited from Lan County, I heard that the gray disciples were eliminated by the Tsing Yi disciples. , it’s your first time to be eliminated as soon as you get started.”
Liu Qingyi was greatly embarrassed when he heard this, and explained with some embarrassment: "It's just my bad luck. I made a mistake during the Spirit Selection Ceremony, and was directly demoted to a disciple in gray after being called in by the elders."
Zuo Shu laughed out loud, "There is no need to explain these. Senior Sister Li has already explained it to you at the previous training meeting. Among our new disciples, you have already made a name for yourself. "
Liu Qingyi instantly became disgraced and didn't know where to start, then heard Zuo Shu say: "Since we want to accompany each other, you should go back and prepare some dry food first, and wait for me in front of the hall in a quarter of an hour. Let's go into the mountain together."
Liu Qingyi nodded happily and returned to his residence with excitement on his face. When Xu Xiangying came back from doing business, he reluctantly said hello to Xu Xiangying and said that he would take on the sect's meritorious mission and go into the mountains to hunt animals.
When Xu Xiangying heard this, he looked at Liu Qingyi in surprise. Seeing him packing dry food, spiritual food and other things, he said in disbelief: "Junior brother, what disease have you committed? You want to take such a risk."
"I'm not sick, I just want to take a look." Liu Qingyi mumbled back.
"I heard that this sect's mission is to hunt down the three-eyed demon wolf. What can you do as a newbie? Could it be that your senior brother has treated you poorly? It makes you want to seek death so hard." Xu Xiangying grabbed him. Liu Qingyi's voice came from the corner of Liu Qingyi's clothes.
"It has nothing to do with you!" Liu Qingyi said, turned around and picked up the baggage and went out, leaving Xu Xiangying standing there blankly.
After returning to the Heavenly Beast Hall, after waiting for less than a quarter of an hour, the pretty girl named Zuo Shu came over with small steps carrying a big bag in one hand and a long knife in the other.
Liu Qingyi had a good impression of Zuo Shu, a girl, and wanted to befriend her, so he stepped forward and grabbed the baggage with one hand, volunteering: "Junior sister Zuo, I asked my senior brother to help you carry this bag. You should be more relaxed."
Zuo Shu smiled softly at Liu Qingyi and said, "That's good, I'll be able to use my skills when we get to the place."
Liu Qingyi then smiled apologetically and said, "That's right, that's right. Junior sister, feel free to do whatever you want, and leave some chores to senior brother."
At this time, groups of Tsing Yi disciples had gathered in the Heavenly Beast Hall. Neither Liu Qingyi nor Zuo Shu knew how to enter the mountain, so they followed a team of more than ten people, far behind.
The group left the Heavenly Beast Hall and walked up the mountain along a winding path. Gradually, the many buildings of the Heavenly Beast Gate in the mountain disappeared into the clouds and mist behind them.
There are countless strange peaks in Tianshou Mountain, and the six peaks with the richest aura have been jointly set up by the sect masters and elders in the sect to set up the Zoeling Formation. Restricted partitions have been set up around them to serve as the inner sect's cultivation treasures.
It is naturally difficult for ordinary outer sect disciples to enter the six peaks of the inner sect. They can only live in a narrow area between the six peaks, which is where the Heavenly Beast Hall, Spiritual Cultivation Valley and other buildings are located. Although this area does not have the concentration of spiritual energy. The Six Peaks of the Inner Sect are much better than other places.
As for the other peripheral areas outside the six peaks, they are occupied by countless spiritual beasts and monsters, and are also called the outer peaks of Tianshou Mountain. Because of the large number of beasts that breed in the outer peak, it has become the destination of the Heavenly Beast Sect's previous sect hunting missions.
Liu Qingyi followed Zuo Shu with his baggage. After walking for more than two hours, the mountain road became increasingly steep. The two of them each picked up the Fengxing technique and jumped up and down the mountain, like two climbing monkeys.
The group of people walking in front of the two of them were not very fast, and several of the Tsing Yi disciples were not even familiar with Feng Xing Jutsu. They must have been the new disciples this time.
After walking for a while, everyone came to an open and dense forest area, and they all stopped to rest. Liu Qingyi and Zuo Shu had no choice but to wait far behind.
Liu Qingyi took out some spiritual food from his bag and threw it to the little civet. He also carried a wooden kettle and walked to a mountain spring near the mountain road, intending to collect some spring water for later use.
Before he could squat down, he heard a strange howling sound that sounded like an ox but not an ox in the dense forest in front of him. A huge bull-shaped monster suddenly emerged from the dense forest, with a sharp horn on its head and continuous spray from its nose. With the flames burning, he rushed straight towards the group of people who were resting in front of him.
The group of Tsing Yi disciples who were sitting on the ground to rest almost jumped up in panic, crawled on the ground and scattered in all directions. Only a few of them used their animal spirit rings and hit the fire-breathing rhinoceros monster. past.
Unexpectedly, the bull monster was rough-skinned and thick-flesh. The blows from several spiritual rings not only had no effect, but aroused its ferocity. It kept running rampant in the crowd, causing a lot of trouble among the Tsing Yi disciples. The man fell on his back and his horse fell over.
A leading disciple in short, fat Tsing Yi jumped out and shouted: "This is the Fire Rhinoceros, everyone use the water diversion technique quickly."
Seven or eight of the scattered Tsing Yi disciples gathered together and used the water diversion technique, gradually forming a huge water ball in front of them.
The short, fat disciple in green who was speaking used a green spirit ring and kept hitting it on the head of the fire rhinoceros. In pain, the fire rhino's body glowed with red light, and it suddenly sprayed out a stream of energy towards the short, fat disciple. Huoliu then lowered the horn on his head, aimed at his waist and hit him hard.
The short, fat disciple in green saw this and shouted loudly: "Hurry, splash it quickly."
The huge water balls gathered by the seven or eight disciples on the side were quickly transported by a burst of spiritual power, and they hurriedly smashed towards the Fire Rhino.
The next moment, there was only a "pop" sound, and the water ball hit the Fire Rhino's back. Water splashed all over the Fire Rhino, and bursts of white smoke rose from the back of the cow.
The splash of water seemed to have caused serious damage to the fire rhinoceros, causing it to moan wildly and its breath gradually weakened.
The short, fat disciple in green had already dodged the jet of fire, and controlled the green spirit ring to continuously smash the head of the fire bull until it screamed in agony, and the head of the bull gradually became bloody and bloody. stand up.
Seeing this, the seven or eight old Tsing Yi disciples who had previously used the water diversion technique each raised their spirit rings and swarmed at the Fire Rhino's head. Under such a violent blow, the fire rhinoceros' head was almost smashed into a pile of mud, and finally it was kicked to death with all four legs.
Liu Qingyi and Zuo Shu watched the excitement from a distance, and were somewhat surprised by how difficult the Fire Rhino was.
This kind of thick-skinned monster is difficult to break through with normal attacks. Also, because of its huge size and ability to breathe fire and hurt people, it is really difficult to deal with the spirit ring. The only way is to use water diversion to splash it on its body, and the water and fire will fight against each other. It will do great damage to the fire cow, and it can even burn the cow's hide to break its defense. Only then can it be subdued and captured by hitting its head with the spirit ring.
However, this kind of adult fire rhinoceros has no capture value, so it can only be shot to death.
However, the horn on the head of the fire rhinoceros seemed to be a good thing. Liu Qingyi saw the short and fat disciple in front of him cut off the horn with a knife, and put it into the package on his back with a wave of his hand.
After a fierce fight, the people in front rested for a while before starting to move forward again.
Liu and Zuo saw everyone getting up and walking away, so they slowly followed them.
When he passed the body of the Fire Rhino, the little civet on Liu Qingyi's shoulder suddenly jumped down and pounced on the Fire Rhino's huge body.
I saw it standing on the broken horn of the fire rhinoceros head, sticking out its tongue to lick the cow blood that was still pouring out. It seemed a little dissatisfied, and suddenly stretched out a front paw, with a black light flashing on the claw, and grabbed the fire rhinoceros. The cow was rotten into a ball with its head in the center.
With a 'pop' sound, the small black claws were inserted into the huge smashed cow's head. After a while of stirring, a fiery red crystal core was taken out.
The little civet very quickly threw the fiery red crystal core into its mouth and chewed it, with an expression of enjoyment on its face that stunned Liu Qingyi.
"Hey, am I reading that right? You civet actually eats beast crystals?" Zuo Shu's voice came from the side.
Liu Qingyi asked in confusion: "Beast Yuan Crystal? What is that?"
Zuo Shu looked at Liu Qingyi as if looking at a monster and said, "Don't you know about the beast essence crystal? That civet cat just took out the fiery red crystal core. A beast essence crystal will be formed in the head of every monster beast. It is said that it is formed by the condensation of essence, blood and spiritual energy in the crystal core. The spiritual blood in the crystal core is chaotic and violent. It is impossible for monks to use it and is worthless. I didn't expect that a little civet like you can actually eat it. This is strange. Things."
"This shouldn't have any side effects, right?" Liu Qingyi said in a panic.
Zuo Shu frowned and murmured to himself: "I heard the elders of my clan mentioned that although this beast Yuan Jing is full of spiritual energy, it is due to its violent energy. Ordinary monsters generally will not eat it. Some monsters have eaten it by mistake. Afterwards, they often explode and die.”
Liu Qingyi was shocked when he heard this: "You...why didn't you tell me earlier? What would I do?"
As he spoke, he walked forward quickly, picked up the little civet, and dug his fingers into its mouth, trying to dig out the crystal core.
When the little civet saw Liu Qingyi's fingers, it shook its head left and right, purred, and swallowed all the crystal cores that had been chewed in its mouth.
Liu Qingyi was so angry that she lifted the little civet's tail and trembled violently, shouting urgently: "You stupid cat, spit it out quickly."
The little civet completely ignored Liu Qingyi's movements, closed its eyes comfortably, and let it shake around, seeming to be extremely comfortable.
