Chapter 15 Hunting
Thirteen people from Chu Zhiyuan were all dressed in dark green attire. They stood in front of a huge stone and blended in with the surrounding mountains.
Chu Zhiyuan looked up.
Opposite is a towering giant peak, half of the peak is inserted into the low dark clouds, making it difficult to see clearly.
The mountains are like smoke and the trees are black and green.
Standing on the boulder were Chu Qingfeng and thirteen middle-aged men, with solemn expressions and faint nervousness, which was completely different from the excited expressions of Chu Mingxuan and others.
On the outside are more than a hundred Forbidden Palace guards, all wearing the Jing Dynasty's standard armor - bright armor, covered with cold light, and the coldness is overwhelming.
These more than a hundred Forbidden Palace guards formed a circle, carrying swords at their waists, pressing their hands on the handles of the swords, scanning the surroundings with their eyes, looking like tigers and eagles.
"No more unnecessary words," Chu Qingfeng glanced at the princes and princes: "There is only one thing, don't be greedy for success and take risks. If something goes wrong, shout out or send a signal immediately, and someone will come to the rescue immediately!"
"If you want to make meritorious deeds, you must have your life. You all know what is more important than what is more important. Don't act stupidly when you do it. Especially the roar of these monsters will arouse your blood and make you red-eyed. Take control!"
His eyes finally fell on Chu Zhiyuan: "The monsters in Xiaochixia Mountain should not be underestimated. Cheer up. This is your first time here. Don't think about making meritorious deeds."
"Yes, uncle."
Chu Zhiyuan stood among the princes and princes, clasping his fists.
"It's noon now. When the mountains turn red, ring the bell and that's the end... go into the mountains!"
"Let's go!"
"I'm coming too!"
"This time I will definitely kill the last one!"
……
Everyone's eyes were shining, they were shouting excitedly, but their actions were very cautious, and they slowly approached the woods at the foot of Xiaochixia Mountain.
They spread out, each finding a direction toward the woods.
Killing prey together does not count as merit, killing alone does.
Chu Zhiyuan first walked around the foot of the mountain, not getting close to the woods, and seemed to be hesitant.
There were roars and howls in the mountains and forests.
His super sense enveloped a hundred meters range, and he moved his steps, staring at Chu Zhiting and Chu Zhichuan.
A small squirrel-like beast turned into a black shadow and shot towards Chu Zhiting. Chu Zhiting was knocked into a pine tree ten meters away before he could react.
"Bang" pine needles fell like rain, and he clung to the tree half-way in pain.
Not far away, Chu Zhichuan also encountered a black shadow transformed into a small squirrel-like beast, but he deftly avoided it and stabbed it with his sword.
The little beast swung its big tail in the air and disappeared into the woods with a deft twist.
Chu Zhiyuan was thoughtful.
The speed of this little beast was so fast that it would be difficult to react without preparation. Chu Zhiting and Chu Zhichuan were obviously prepared, and this was definitely not the first time they encountered it.
"Hiss——!" Chu Zhiting gasped and slid under the root of the tree with a grin, shaking his head.
A green shadow shot towards the back of his head.
"Bang!" He punched the green shadow.
The green shadow circled in the air and disappeared into the distance.
But it is a small snake, as green as if carved from jasper, with clear eyes and a head that is not ferocious but smart and cute.
Chu Zhiyuan nodded, Lao Jiu obviously knew that it would sneak attack at this time.
This is the role of experience, and this experience should be gained through injury.
At the same time, the situation on Chu Zhichuan's side still appeared in his mind.
Chu Zhichuan's handsome face tensed up, and he vibrated his sword. With the sword light flashing, he took two steps forward again, and then swung his sword into the air.
"Ding..."
A white swallow suddenly appeared in the air where the sword tip was stabbed. It fluttered twice and was about to fall.
As soon as it fell a foot, it turned over and flew up again, flying upwards, sliding lightly into the void and disappearing.
Chu Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows.
This white swallow has the ability to become invisible.
For someone who doesn't understand, it would be almost difficult to avoid the swallow's blow.
Xiaochixia Mountain really deserves its reputation.
Chu Zhiting and Chu Zhichuan continued upward, slowly leaving the range of his supersensory coverage.
He circled around the woods again to watch the other princes.
They either encountered a green snake, a small squirrel-like beast, an invisible swallow, or a snow-white rabbit.
As soon as the little white rabbit kicked, the prince was kicked away, blood arrows were sprayed in the air, and he fell into a coma after falling heavily to the ground.
A middle-aged expert suddenly appeared and took him out, thus ending this winter hunting.
Chu Zhiyuan was speechless.
The force of that snow-white and cute little rabbit's kick is no different than a blow from an innate master.
He suddenly had a feeling: they were not hunting these monster beasts during the winter hunting, but the monster beasts were hunting them.
Looking at the behavior of these princes and princes, they are like a sheep sneaking into a pack of wolves. They are cautious and trembling, and they act like they are facing a powerful enemy at the slightest sign of trouble. It is really ridiculous to see them.
He became more and more cautious.
After all, these princes and princes are not weak hands. They have learned top-notch martial arts and have been honed. They are definitely not comparable to ordinary martial arts people outside.
Naturally, they were so trembling because these monsters were terrifying.
After watching for a while, all the princes and princes moved up and out of his super-sense range, he finally started walking towards the woods.
Chu Qingfeng stood on a mountain peak opposite, looking down here, his eyes like an eagle, seeing his actions clearly, not urging him to hesitate, just watching indifferently.
……
Xiao Chixia Mountain is covered with trees and weeds. Various trees are mixed, branches and vines are tangled, and there are only a few narrow paths opened by the princes. As soon as he stepped into the woods, the hairs all over his body stood up, reminding him that he was already in danger if he retreated.
Under the super sense, everything within a hundred meters radius was clearly presented in his mind.
What you see with your eyes, hear with your ears, and feel with your skin, mouth, and nose constitute a strange world of colors, sounds, smells, and touches.
This world is clearer, more detailed, more profound, more vivid and more wonderful than the world you see with your own eyes.
He walked slowly, and suddenly thrust out a sword.
"Squeak——!"
A scream sounded from the back of his head, and the sword had skewered a small squirrel. The brown hair on its body was as smooth and shiny as silk satin.
The tip of the sword penetrated the vulnerable part of the throat and came out from the back of the neck.
He knew the weak point of this demon rat through his super sense, and the sword tip could not penetrate other parts.
He shook the sword, and the demon rat hung on a nearby tree branch.
The blade of the sword is as bright as new, clear and cold.
He held the sword technique in his left hand and gently wiped the sword body to the tip. There was no trace of blood, only a faint sweet smell.
"One!"
He continued walking inside.
After taking a few steps, he frowned.
His sword actually caused a shock, and the Lingyan flying in the air flew invisible in the void, observing.
No matter how powerful he is, he can't fly into the air and kill him.
The green snake clinging to the treetop remained motionless, blending into the branches. It was quite far away and had no intention of attacking.
There was a monster crouching not far away, retreating gently and silently.
This sword frightened them.
These monsters are extremely cunning and cautious.
Chu Zhiyuan was not in a hurry to pursue them. He took a few steps forward and once again covered Chu Zhiting and Chu Zhichuan within the super-sensory range. At the same time, there was also the eighteenth prince Chu Mingxuan within the super-sensory range.
Chu Zhiting was knocked out by a golden civet cat, spraying blood arrows in the air. The golden civet cat turned into a golden light and chased after him and hit him again.
Chu Zhiting punched in the air, spitting blood, and was knocked away by the golden civet cat again.
The golden civet cat slowed down, then turned in the air and landed between the forks of a tree. Then it jumped into the woods and disappeared.
Chu Zhiting landed on the ground with a "bang", shaking the ground. He stretched out his hand to wipe his mouth and spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva.
Chu Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows.
This Chu Zhiting had practiced Henglian Kung Fu and had rough skin and thick flesh. He had been hit several times and was still fine.
Looking at Chu Zhichuan on the other side, the sword light formed a ball of clear light to protect him. His body was light and agile. Although his footwork was not as fast as the Tianya step so close to him, it was still very subtle. He avoided sneak attacks at the last moment and took advantage of the situation. Fight back.
But Chu Zhiyuan could see that the power of his sword was not strong enough.
Just seeing that his sword stabbed a spirit swallow and a white rabbit, and both of them escaped easily, you can see its power.
These monsters are all made of steel and iron. If you want to break through the defense and kill them, you must first find their weak points, and second, hit the weak points.
They may know the former, after all, they have experience, or they may know it from books or the mouths of elders in the family.
He was at a disadvantage in this regard, as he had no experience to speak of.
The latter is not easy.
These monsters have a common characteristic, they are extremely fast.
These monsters will guard their own weaknesses in a subtle way. Most people can't see it, but they can't hide it from him.
Even if you know their weaknesses, you can't hit them, you need to be faster than them.
His Great Avalanche Sword Technique and So-So-So-So-So-Touch-Tianya-Step were superior to his unexpectedness and speed.
He walked up about a hundred meters, then suddenly turned to the right and walked around the mountainside again to watch the other princes and princes going through their experiences.
After turning around, he turned around and walked back.
He discovered a pattern: the monsters become stronger as you go up, and the monsters below are easier to deal with.
These princes and princes were excited and high-spirited as soon as they stepped onto the mountain.
He found that as soon as his right hand let go of the hilt of the sword, he would become excited, and his blood would surge, wanting to kill all the monsters.
Once you hold the hilt of the sword, you will immediately regain your clarity.
The excitement and awe-inspiring fighting spirit stem from a special aura floating in the air.
This breath is almost colorless and odorless, coming from the weeds on the ground.
He shook his head and laughed. This was too deceiving.
Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, he prefers to go to the tiger mountains. He is not so brave, so of course he has to pick the weak ones.
The figure flashed and appeared in front of a peach tree. The sword flashed, and a small green jade snake appeared on the tip of the sword.
Seven inches of the snake were pierced, and the snake was already dead.
He shook slightly, and the green snake flew down to the fork of the tree. He disappeared in a flash, and appeared behind another tree the next moment, with the tip of his sword already pierced into the grass.
When she sheathed the sword, a small silver beast had been pierced through the sword, shaped like a hedgehog, but the thorns all over its body were shining with silver light.
As soon as he saw the silver thorn, he felt cold all over and his hair stood up.
This little silver beast is extremely dangerous. Once it shoots out its thorns, your life will be in danger.
It has the ability to sneak, is silent and extremely terrifying.
Then he flickered in the woods, his sword flashing occasionally.
