Chapter 2 The First Demon Hunt
The family territory around Peach Blossom Mountain is mostly low hills and hills, with few plains and valleys. Although there are some first-order spiritual veins, due to the weak strength of the family, they are unable to occupy and develop them.
As a result, these spiritual veins can easily be occupied by monsters migrating from the depths of Qingyun Mountain. And these monsters will pose a serious threat to the family monks and mortals!
The most important purpose of the Liu family's organization of monster hunting operations is to eliminate these monsters that flow into the family territory and prevent these monsters from posing a threat to the family members!
After patrolling the family's three hundred miles of territory, the demon hunting team will head into the depths of the Qingyun Mountains. Start freely collecting elixirs and hunting monsters. At the same time, it is also to explore the distribution of monsters deep in the Qingyun Mountains outside the family territory, and to provide intelligence support for the family to deal with the threat of powerful monsters.
Of course, the demon hunting team did not dare to go too deep. You must know that there are fifth-level monsters deep in the Qingyun Mountains. There are too many second- and third-level monsters, which the Qi Refining Family can't provoke!
The realm of cultivating immortals for monks on this planet includes: Qi refining, foundation building, golden elixir, Yuanying, and transforming into gods. After cultivating to the transforming stage, monks need to leave this planet if they want to break through to a higher realm. , go to other higher-level immortal planets.
The realm of monsters corresponding to monks is that the first-level monsters are equivalent to Qi-refining monks, the second-level monsters are equivalent to foundation-building monks, and the fifth-level monsters are equivalent to human god-transformation monks.
The Liu family's demon hunting team, led by the fourth elder Liu Baichuan, performed light-body techniques one after another, quickly left Peach Blossom Villa, and followed the stone steps and paths on Peach Blossom Mountain down to Peach Blossom Mountain.
Then, we walked all the way through the villages and towns where the mortals of the Yamashita family gathered, and headed towards the sparsely populated wild mountains and forests.
These sparsely populated mountain forests, due to the complex mountain terrain, lush forests, and numerous wild beasts, make it very easy for monsters to hide here. This is also the place where the Liu family's demon hunting team focuses on cleaning up.
As the captain, Liu Baichuan has rich experience in hunting monsters. After the demon hunting team entered the wild mountain forest, they immediately ordered the tribesmen of the demon hunting team to spread out and search forward in a fan-shaped manner at a certain distance.
When the members of the demon hunting team search for monsters, it would be best if they can kill them alone. If they cannot kill them alone, they can call on their tribesmen to fight together.
The mountains and forests are rugged and difficult to navigate. Fortunately, everyone is a Qi-refining monk. They use the light body technique to walk in the mountains and forests as if they were walking on flat ground, extremely fast.
Liu Changxu is already a monk in the middle stage of Qi refining. Although he cannot fly into the sky with the help of flying instruments like the monks in the late stage of Qi refining, he can also use his powerful magic power to perform the light body technique to reach three feet in one step, extremely fast!
According to the experience of hunting monsters in the mountains taught by the elders, every time you walk a certain distance, you must first hide your body and use your spiritual eyes and spiritual consciousness to observe the surrounding situation. Only when you confirm that there is no danger can you move forward quickly.
There are various dangers in the mountains and forests. In addition to monsters that are good at hiding their bodies, there are monster birds that fly in the sky, there are monster insects and poisons that are difficult to find, and there are even spiritual plants that can kill people.
The monk’s exploration method is the clearest and sharpest method of spiritual observation.
When a monk enters the Qi refining stage, he will develop spiritual consciousness. Generally, the spiritual consciousness of a monk at the first level of Qi refining has an observation distance of two feet, which means that he can clearly observe the surrounding scenes within two feet.
The power of spiritual consciousness will increase with the progress of a monk's cultivation. The observation distance of Liu Changxu's spiritual consciousness at the fifth level of Qi Refining is ten feet.
Another detection method used by monks is the spiritual eye technique. Its advantage is that it has a long observation distance.
Liu Changxu's spiritual eye technique, Golden Eye, is a middle-level yellow-level spell that can clearly see the scene within ten miles. It is named after the golden light when casting the spell.
This golden eye spell not only allows monks to see farther and clearer. It can also help monks observe and distinguish the presence of spiritual energy in items and air.
The distance and observation effect of the spiritual eye technique also depend on the level of cultivation of the caster and the level of the spiritual eye technique used.
After practicing the high-level spiritual eye technique, Yuanying monks can clearly see scenes thousands of miles away. That is true clairvoyance.
Since this was his first time hunting monsters, Liu Changxu was full of curiosity about everything around him!
In the beautiful wilderness mountains and forests, in addition to monsters covered with treasures, there are also countless precious elixirs, spiritual fruits, spiritual trees, spiritual materials and other types of spiritual objects hidden waiting for the monks. Go find out!
According to the experience introduced by the family elders, when looking for monsters and monsters, you must first be familiar with the appearance, habits and characteristics of various monsters and spirits of heaven and earth!
For this reason, the family school requires every clan member to be familiar with knowledge related to various monsters and heaven and earth spiritual objects, and does not hesitate to use samples of various monster beasts and heaven and earth spiritual objects obtained by the family for physical teaching.
Walking on the mountains and rivers belonging to the Liu family, Liu Changxu felt extremely nervous and excited!
What makes me nervous is that I don’t know what kind of monsters I will encounter and whether I can deal with them! Excited by the anticipation of what this trip will bring! Imagine that you can find precious elixirs or other heavenly materials and earthly treasures!
According to the experience of his elders, Liu Changxu would stop every time he walked, and use his spiritual eyes to carefully observe the situation in the distance. When he encountered a place where spiritual energy overflowed, he would use his spiritual consciousness to carefully walk closer. observe!
After searching for a long time, I found no trace of monsters or spiritual beings!
Obviously monsters and spiritual objects are not so easy to find. After sorting out his mood, Liu Changxu moved on!
Finally, after walking for a long time, I found three green grasses exuding a faint aura in the bushes at the foot of a hill. These three Qingqi grasses are all three years old and have reached the first-level low-grade elixir level. They are the main medicine for refining Qi Lian Pills.
Liu Changxu was very happy. This was the first time he had picked a magical medicine! After confirming that there were no monsters or insects around the elixir, Liu Changxu dug out the three elixirs and their entire root system and put them into a special elixir jade box.
Since the Liu family’s biggest industry is the spiritual fruit and elixir garden and spiritual fields, most of the Liu family members are spiritual planters.
Liu Changxu is also a first-level mid-level spiritual planter. In his small courtyard, he planted one acre of first-grade middle-grade amethyst rice, half an acre of first-grade elixir, and two first-grade low-grade jasper peach trees, and all the harvest was his own.
The family strongly encourages clan members to transplant spiritual plants found outside into the family, and will give higher contribution points to family monks who turn in spiritual plants that can be transplanted.
Therefore, the monks of the Liu family were willing to dig up the entire spiritual plant they found and bring it back to the family for transplanting.
Next, I found 8 more qingqi grass plants, and I was very satisfied!
While searching and advancing in a dense forest, Liu Changxu suddenly saw with his golden eyes a piece of King Mushroom growing on a dead tree in the distance.
The Apricot Yellow Spirit Mushroom is a first-order low-grade spirit mushroom. It has a good effect on enhancing the mana and cultivation of monks in the early stage of Qi refining. It is especially suitable for making spiritual meals. The apricot yellow mycelium soup made with king oyster mushroom is extremely delicious and is the favorite of Qi refining monks.
Liu Changxu found as many as fifteen Pleurotus eryngii mushrooms in this area.
But when he walked ten feet away from the king mushroom, Liu Changxu used his spiritual consciousness to discover that under the huge dead tree with the king mushroom, there was a huge demon snake with skin like a dead leaf, three feet long and as thick as a bucket. If Liu Changxu hadn't used his spiritual sense to observe carefully, it would have been difficult to spot it.
This snake is called the Dead Leaf Snake. It is a first-order mid-level monster. Its skin can blend into the surrounding environment and has a strong hiding ability.
After realizing that Liu Changxu had discovered this demonic snake, it no longer hid itself! The huge snake body swayed and came to Liu Changxu's side, and a water arrow containing highly poisonous water struck directly at Liu Changxu.
Because it was the first time he faced a monster, Liu Changxu couldn't help but feel a little nervous, but his reaction was also extremely quick, and he was out of the attack range of the water arrow with a slight sway.
Liu Changxu, who had escaped the demon snake's attack, immediately cast a spell, and a fist-sized hot fireball appeared in the air, heading towards the demon snake at high speed.
The speed of the demon snake is not slow either! The snake body swayed slightly and dodged. The hot fireball hit the bluestone behind the demonic snake, burning a big hole in the bluestone.
One person and one snake are fighting back and forth in this dense forest! All of a sudden! The dense forest was in a mess, and many trees were set on fire by blazing flames!
The poisonous water arrows continuously sprayed out by the demonic snake filled the air with poisonous gas!
Liu Changxu also felt a little dizzy and nauseated. After taking an antidote pill, he continued to cast spells.
Three balls of fire hit the demon snake in a row. The demon snake couldn't dodge, and a hot fireball hit the demon snake, almost scorching the snake's body.
After the dead leaf snake was injured, the pain was unbearable, and it suddenly became ferocious and launched an even more violent attack!
Liu Changxu could only dodge and cast spells at the same time, hitting the scorching fireballs one after another at the demonic snake!
Liu Changxu is currently only at the fifth level of Qi Refining to cultivate immortality. As time goes by, the mana in his body becomes less and less. In order to avoid accidents, he still took out a transmission note to call for support from his tribe.
As the captain of the demon hunting team, the most important thing for Liu Baichuan is to always pay attention to the safety of the family's children and be able to arrive in time when they encounter danger and need support.
After receiving the message from Liu Changxu, he immediately rushed over with his flying sword. With his joining, the battle situation immediately reversed.
Liu Baichuan's Qingyue Sword kept slashing at the dead leaf snake like a stream of green rainbows.
Under the attack of fireballs and flying swords, although the dead leaf snake still wanted to beat it to death and struggled, it was unable to escape the fate of being killed because of its lack of strength.
Afterwards, Liu Baichuan and Liu Changxu briefly discussed the distribution of the spoils. Liu Baichuan got the demon pill and half a snake body, and Liu Changxu got snake gallbladder, snake venom and half a snake body.
Monsters are full of treasures. Take this withered leaf snake as an example. Demon pills, snake gallbladder, and snake venom can be used to refine elixirs, snake blood can be used to make spiritual ink, and snake bones and snake skin can be used to make magic pills. Utensils, robes, and snake meat can be used to make spiritual meals. This demonic snake can be sold for about 200 pieces of spiritual stones.
Therefore, hunting demons has become an important means for many monks to obtain spiritual stone income.
But the risk of hunting monsters is also very high. Many monks have unfortunately fallen into the mouth of monsters while hunting monsters.
At this time, other tribesmen also came quickly. After seeing that the monster beast had been dealt with, they left.
After Liu Changxu finished collecting the yellow mushrooms, he did not set off immediately. Instead, he sat cross-legged on the spot and adjusted his breathing to recover his mana before starting to hunt monsters again.
