Chapter 48 Signs of Beast Tide
Lin Changqing has become much more relaxed since his grandfather and aunt came back.
In addition to practicing every day, I take care of Ling Tian, Chu Yi and the group of amethyst scorpions. I spend my free time drinking tea with my friends or competing with each other.
Since the last counter-ambush, the friends have consciously improved their fighting skills. They all like to come to Ao Yunfeng and Lin Changqing to compete when they have time, so that each other can gain and make progress.
Or go to the woods to hide and seek with the Amethyst Scorpion. This was invented by Lin Changlian. She said that if you can avoid the search of the Amethyst Scorpion in the woods, then you will definitely have better survivability than hunting monsters in the Qingyun Mountains. Others are much stronger.
But as long as they were found by the Amethyst Scorpion every time, Lin Changlian couldn't be happier.
Time passed slowly like this, and Lin Changqing's cultivation reached the top of the fifth level of Qi Refining. It had been more than a year and almost two years since the last time he took Zhu Guo.
Now Lin Changqing can advance to the sixth level of Qi Refining by taking Zhu Guo at any time, but Lin Changqing wants to see if he can advance by himself, and does not want to rely too much on Zhu Guo.
As for the Thunder Acupoint, although every practice is very hard, Lin Changqing still succeeded in opening another one. After all, he had experience and the opening was faster than before.
There are three thunder acupoints, which are enough to activate the Gengjin Divine Thunder or the Guishui Yin Thunder once. Now the magic practice at night is mainly based on the secret method of thunder control. The two thunder methods are Auxiliary, there will be relatively few people practicing other spells. However, both are still taken into account.
On this day, the family demon hunting team finally came back, this time a little later than in previous years, it was already very close to the end of the year.
When Lin Changqing arrived at the family square, the atmosphere was very solemn, not a good look!
Fortunately, I saw that my father was not injured, so I felt relieved. I stood quietly beside my father and listened to the speech of the patriarch on the stage.
It turns out that four clan members died this year, and more people were injured than in previous years. No wonder the atmosphere at the scene was not good!
After the clan leader finished speaking, he arranged for someone to count the harvest and convert it into contribution points, and then let the demon hunting team go back to rest.
But on the way home, his father looked worried. Lin Changqing worriedly asked his father if something had happened.
My father just patted Lin Changqing on the shoulder, sighed and said, "Let's talk about it when we get back!"
It seems like it's not a small matter! When I got home, my father gathered everyone together and told a major event that would affect everyone. There might be an outbreak of beasts in the Qingyun Mountains!
It turns out that there are many more monsters outside the Qingyun Mountains this year than last year, which is why the clan members suffered more casualties this year than before.
The family organizes people to hunt monsters every year, which is to continue to reduce the number of monsters in the Qingyun Mountains and try to delay the outbreak of the monster tide.
Now that the number of monster beasts in the periphery has increased, it is very likely that the monster beasts in the Qingyun Mountains have reproduced too fast, squeezing the living space outside the Qingyun Mountains, proving that a monster wave may soon break out.
A beast tide breaks out every few decades to hundreds of years, causing huge losses of people and property to the family every time.
And if a beast tide breaks out, the Qingyun Sect will also recruit monks from the Lin family to participate in resisting the beast tide.
The demon hunting team has reported the news to the clan leader and will confirm with the other twelve families.
If it is confirmed that the number of monster beasts in the periphery has increased, it will be reported to the Qingyun Sect immediately, and they will send people to confirm again, and then start preparing to resist the beast tide.
Lin Changqing was caught off guard by this unexpected situation, which disrupted all arrangements.
If we can stay stable for another year or two, my father and second uncle may have succeeded in building the foundation.
Fortunately, there is still some time. The family still has to verify the information with twelve other families and report it to the Qingyun Sect, so there is still at least half a month.
At this time, Grandpa also received the transmission talisman from the clan leader. Originally, there was no need to use the transmission talisman because he was so close within the family, but now the transmission talisman was directly transmitted to Grandpa. It seemed that something big had happened. .
It was estimated that there might be an outbreak of beasts, so the clan leader anxiously asked Grandpa to go over and discuss it.
Grandpa didn't come back until evening and told everyone about the decision of the family's high-level meeting. Tomorrow Grandpa will go to Pingyangfang City to meet with the Great Elder Lin Fanhong to bring news about the possible outbreak of the beast tide, and arrange for people to secretly purchase a batch of strategic materials, including magic weapons, talismans, rejuvenation pills, rejuvenation pills, etc... …
Then we went to visit the Xu family, the family of Lin Changqing’s mother, to confirm each other’s news.
If all thirteen families confirm that there are more monsters, Grandpa and the Great Elder will report it to the Qingyun Sect.
Based on past experience, Qingyun Sect recruited family monks to participate in resisting the beast tide. Each family must provide half of the foundation-building monks. That is to say, the Lin family currently has four period-building monks on the surface, so they must Two people were dispatched to accept the call.
Fortunately, the patriarch had the foresight to hide the aunt's trump card. So at this time, the news about aunt's foundation building cannot be exposed. About 100 people will be recruited during the Qi refining period, which is equivalent to half of the strength of the Lin family.
In this case, my father and second uncle must accept recruitment into the demon hunting team. Only these demon hunting team members who often participate in hunting activities are likely to survive the tide of beasts.
However, Lin Changqing also plans to participate this time, at least to protect his father and second uncle. Of course, he cannot say this out loud.
Someone will come soon to inform his father and second uncle, but this is not what Lin Changqing cares about. Now he just wants to increase his strength, so let’s start from the fifth and sixth day of the lunar month!
I have to talk to grandpa before he leaves tomorrow.
Everyone is digesting the news, while the mother and sister are worried about the safety of their father and second uncle. I wonder what they would think when they knew that Lin Changqing was also going to participate in the recruitment!
After everyone went back to rest in the evening, Lin Changqing sneaked to his grandfather's house. The grandfather and grandson were now in the secret room.
"Grandpa, I also want to participate in this recruitment." Lin Changqing said straight to the point.
"Nonsense, how old are you, and with such little cultivation, are you going to die?" Grandpa reprimanded a little angrily.
"Grandpa, I have to go this time. I won't go. There is no guarantee that my father and second uncle will come back alive. I have to protect them." Lin Changqing said with a serious face.
"Don't think too much. Your father and second uncle are both at the ninth level of Qi Refining and have rich experience in hunting monsters. They are the most likely to come back alive. Please don't cause trouble!" Grandpa comforted him helplessly.
"I have to go. With me, I am equivalent to having one more foundation-building monk. Plus Chu Yi and the group of amethyst scorpions, I guarantee that more people can come back alive. Grandpa, let me go Come on!" Lin Changqing insisted.
Grandpa was silent.
Lin Changqing added another fire, "Grandpa, think about those dense and bottomless holes in the practice room."
Grandpa sighed, "This was not you originally. You should participate!”
Lin Changqing quickly said: "This is of my own free will. I can't let my father and second uncle take such a big risk of death and remain indifferent. I can't do this!"
"Okay, I agree with you. Go, but you must ensure that you come back alive." Grandpa said a little helplessly.
"Don't worry about this. I am more afraid of death than anyone else and will protect myself.
Grandpa, please give my parents and second uncle some Earth Soul Fruit tomorrow morning. By the way, give it to my parents on the fifth day of the lunar month. , and also take a red fruit each on the sixth day of the lunar month."
Seeing that his grandfather agreed to go, Lin Changqing quickly told his grandfather what he had just thought of.
Then he took out a jade box with two red fruits in it.
Grandpa nodded, thought for a moment, took out the magic veil and the golden jade slip with explanations, and handed them to Lin Changqing.
He said: "Take this, you don't need to practice it, and you can become invisible by covering your body. Maybe you can use it then."
Lin Changqing agreed, and then Be careful to store it, I hope you won't need it!
