Chapter 6 The First Demon Hunt
Four hundred miles east of Hongyefang, two figures were walking quickly.
It was Shan Xionghai and Zhou Xun who went to hunt the Golden Spirit Rat.
That day, after Zhou Xun made up his mind, he found Shan Xionghai and agreed to the matter the next day.
The two of them agreed that all the gains from this trip would be divided into three parts. The two of them would get one share each if they worked together. Shan Xionghai, as the discoverer of the Golden Spirit Rat, could get another share.
"The golden spirit rat is wary by nature and extremely sensitive. It will run away at the slightest sign of trouble. You need to purchase the intoxicating fruit and use it as bait, coupled with a trap, you can get twice the result with half the effort!" Shan Xionghai said.
The Heart-Intoxicating Fruit is a low-level spiritual fruit that is often used to brew spiritual wine. It is not expensive and can be purchased with just one spiritual essence.
"Leave this matter to me!" Zhou Xun took the matter.
As for the rest of the things, such as spiritual tools to store demon blood and demon meat, traps for hunting golden rats, etc., they were all handed over to Shan Xionghai.
As a monster hunting monk, these utensils have been prepared at home. When Zhou Xun came back with the Drunken Heart Fruit, Shan Xionghai had already packed the utensils and was waiting.
Early the next morning, they set off.
The two of them carry a huge burden each. If they were not both immortal cultivators, they would have collapsed from exhaustion.
“It would be great if there was a storage bag!” Zhou Xun sighed.
But even the lowest-level storage bag costs at least 10 spirit stones. If you replace it with spirit stones, it would cost more than a thousand. This is a wealth that Zhou Xun has never seen in his life. .
"My uncle has one of these, but unfortunately he treasures it very much and never lends it to me to play with." Shan Xionghai said with a longing look.
The two chatted while walking.
It took five days to reach the destination.
This is a deserted valley surrounded by mountains.
The two of them were lying on a hillside, looking towards the bottom of the valley.
Lush and lush trees grow straight without any human footprints. A mountain stream several feet wide divides the entire valley into two halves.
"This place is so remote, how did you find it?" Zhou Xun asked curiously.
“Because I didn’t have my uncle to accompany me, I took a detour from the main road this time and walked in uninhabited places. Although it was a little harder, it was better than being safe.”
“That day I was perched here, and suddenly there was the sound of roaring tigers coming from the forest to the west, and there were faint spiritual fluctuations, so I sneaked over there! "
"I saw a tiger and a rat in the field! Fight together."
"Although the tiger is just a mortal beast, its movements are fast and strong, and its strength cannot be underestimated, but the rat is a golden spirit rat, a first-level low-grade monster."
< br>
"I saw a one-foot-long golden rat covered in golden hair fighting with an eight-foot-long tiger with colorful yellow and black fur!"
"The tiger has a fierce momentum and moves like the wind. He kept slapping at the Golden Rat. The Golden Rat moved sideways and dodged with ease, slicing the tiger's flesh with his claws from time to time, and even gained the upper hand! "
"The tiger became angry, opened its mouth, and shook its head! It was just a bite, but the force was too strong, and a flaw was exposed in the neck. The golden rat opened its mouth slightly, and a golden blade flew out and passed through the tiger's neck."
"There was only a puff, The tiger fell in the air and died after a few twitches!"
"Then, the golden rat dragged the tiger carcass weighing hundreds of kilograms toward the depths of the forest."
"I followed him, over mountains and rivers, and walked for more than ten miles. I didn't stop until I reached this valley."
"The golden spirit rat entered the valley and looked into the air. "Zhizhi" barked a few times, and then four golden rats, one big, three small and four, surrounded the tiger and feasted on it. I took note of the direction of the valley and returned to Hongyefang."
< br>After listening to Shan Xionghai’s story, Zhou Xun couldn’t help but marvel.
“I didn’t expect that only a low-level monster of the first level could fight bears and tigers and feed on them!”
“How should we deal with such a vicious beast?”
Shan Xionghai smiled without saying a word, opened the big baggage he was carrying, took out a bunch of white things from it, shook it gently, and turned it into a big white net.
“The name of this net is ‘Ju Ling’. It is woven from the silk of a first-order low-grade monster human-faced spider. Although it is not included in the list of magic weapons, it is extremely tough. Ordinary low-grade monsters cannot break free at all. It is a must-have for our demon-hunting monks!"
Then he took out three more throwing spears, which were three feet long, all black, and the spear tips exuded a cold glimmer.
“This is the most commonly used semi-magic weapon of our demon hunting monks, the 'demon hunting spear'. It is poured with spiritual power and then thrown out. Ordinary low-grade monsters are unstoppable, and it is a first-class weapon. !" He said and handed one of them to Zhou Xun.
"This one is"
Following Shan Xionghai's introduction, Zhou Xun felt envious.
It is said that the demon hunting monks are rich, but I didn’t expect them to be so rich.
These items of single male kelp alone are worth more than seven spirit stones.
"In this operation, I took one-third of the share, which is an advantage!" Zhou Xun thought to himself.
After introducing all the utensils, Shan Xionghai led Zhou Xun to start the layout.
After the arrangement was completed, the two hid in the tree.
He applied a kind of powder to cover his breath, and then used the breathing technique. He held the tree trunk with his left hand and the throwing spear with his right hand, staring closely at the direction of the valley.
Under the tree lies a fist-sized, green fruit that exudes this intoxicating aroma. It is the intoxicating fruit. "When the spirit rat comes out and tastes the spirit fruit, you and I will take action at the same time!" Shan Xionghai lowered his voice and said softly.
Zhou Xun nodded and then said nothing.
The whole forest was silent, except for the rustling of the leaves in the wind, there was no other sound.
After staying for less than half a quarter of an hour, Zhou Xun suddenly focused his eyes.
There was a noise from the bushes more than thirty feet away, and then a one-foot-large squirrel emerged. This rat had a golden gradient all over its body, and it was undoubtedly the Golden Spirit Rat.
I saw it sticking its head out, its nose twitching, and its round eyes rolling.
Soon I discovered the nectar fruit under the tree.
However, it did not go directly, but carefully circled around several times.
After testing it several times and finding no danger, I walked over to the nectar fruit and started sniffing it intoxicatedly.
Zhou Xun and Shan Xionghai looked at each other, a cold light suddenly appeared in their eyes, and then slowly raised the throwing spear in their hands, infused with spiritual power, and were about to take action.
Suddenly, the golden spirit rat stopped, jumped back a few steps, and barked several times behind it.
“Zhizhi——”
Zhou Xun's heart tightened, thinking he had been discovered.
Immediately afterwards, the echo of "Zhi Zhi——" came from the valley.
It turns out that the golden rat discovered the fruit of drunkenness and had no intention of swallowing it for himself. Instead, he called his family.
Soon, there was another noise in the bushes, and out came four golden rats, one large, three small, and four small, all of them golden in color.
As soon as the four golden rats appeared, they were attracted by the nectar and quickly surrounded them. First they greedily took a sip of the aroma, and then devoured it.
Shan Xionghai's scalp felt numb when he saw the five golden rats appearing in the field.
“Oops!”
Three small ones are enough, the two adult golden rats are really difficult to deal with.
He saw with his own eyes the scene of the Golden Rat hunting the tiger.
Originally, he planned to use the intoxicating fruit to attract one and kill it first, and then deal with the one behind it. Now he had to let Zhou Xun entangle the other adult golden spirit rat first.
After he kills this one, he will join forces with Zhou Xun to kill the other one.
As for the three little ones, I can’t control that much.
So Shan Xionghai looked at the other adult golden rat and winked at Zhou Xun.
When Zhou Xun saw this, he understood instantly and nodded slightly.
It was too late, but it was soon.
The two of them threw the spears that had been imbued with spiritual power fiercely downwards.
The Golden Spirit Rat is indeed a beast with sensitive spiritual senses. The moment the two men took action, they immediately noticed it and kicked off their legs to escape.
Seeing the movements of the Golden Spirit Rat, Shan Xionghai was shocked and secretly thought that something was wrong.
Sure enough, he missed!
The tip of the spear grazed the golden rat's hind leg, picking up a trace of flesh and blood, but it did not hit the vital point.
Fortunately, at the same time as he took action, a wave of "Ju Ling" on his waist swung downwards, just enough to cover the golden rat.
“Not bad, not bad!”
Immediately, he pulled out another spear from his back, jumped down from the tree, and stabbed the covered golden rat to death.
Only then did he have time to look towards Zhou Xun.
This sight left him stunned.
I saw another rat, which was pierced through the chest by a throwing spear and stabbed to the ground. At this time, Zhou Xun was pulling out the throwing spear.
“I am a demon hunting monk trained in Baimang Mountain, but I can’t compare to a fledgling novice!”
Shan Xionghai shook his head vigorously and was about to speak, but Was interrupted by Zhou Xun.
“Those three little ones ran away, let’s chase them quickly!”
Shan Xionghai just came back to his senses, feeling a moment of embarrassment in his heart. He, a dignified demon hunting monk, actually committed the crime. Such mistakes require a newbie to remind them.
So Xun Xun added:
"I'll chase the two on the left, and leave the one on the right to you!"
Zhou Xun had no objection, so the two of them didn't even bother to take care of the prey. He picked up his spear and chased after him.
