Chapter 9 The hunting team is in danger

Three days later, it was dark and misty, and Jiuhufang was still sleeping.

Except for a few stalls selling spiritual vegetables, there were basically no people on the street.

Henry Zhang set off early and came to Jiuhu Bridge.

I saw a few people already waiting.

When they were almost here, the black-faced man said: "This time there are 13 people in our hunting team. I am the leader of the hunting team, my name is Gao Qiang."

Everyone also introduced each other.

Henry Zhang learned that among these hunters, the leader with the highest cultivation level was Captain Gao Qiang, who had reached the third level of Qi refining.

Most of the others are at the second level of Qi Refining.

There are two others who are at the first level of Qi refining, one of them is himself.

On the surface, Henry Zhang's strength is actually at the bottom.

Gao Qiang sent a package to everyone.

Henry Zhang opened the package and found a pound and a half of spiritual grain, a rope, and an escape talisman.

"This is too generous." Henry Zhang felt unbelievable.

Everyone smiled happily when they saw what was in the package.

Gao Qiang continued: "This time you enter the Black Forest for half a month. Regardless of whether you have gained something or not, you will come back when the time comes. The rope is a weapon issued to you for hunting monsters. Everyone on the Qi Refining Level has one Escape Earth Talisman, each person on the second level of Qi Refining has two Earth Escape Talismans, used for escaping."

"Captain, it takes half a month to go back and forth from Neiji to the depths of the Black Forest. We only have half a month, so we don't have enough time." asked an old man in red on the second level of Qi Refining.

"Of course we don't rely on foot travel. The Monster Hunting Alliance arranged a flying boat for us and bought information on the appearance of monsters at a high price in advance. We just need to follow the information to the location where the monsters appear, hunt down the monsters, and then come back by flying boat. That’s it.” Gao Qiang explained.

Sure enough, after a while, a flying boat came over, with the words "Monster Hunting Alliance" written on the flying boat.

"Come up." A boat master with gold teeth in his mouth waved towards Gao Qiang and the others.

"superior."

Gao Qiang gave an order, and the members of the demon hunting team jumped on the flying boat one after another.

This is Henry Zhang’s first time riding a flying boat.

The wind was blowing fast and the sound of wind was whistling in my ears.

He watched the scenery pass by under his feet.

"Brother, is this your first time hunting?" a voice next to him asked.

Henry Zhang looked up and saw the hunched old man.

He and Henry Zhang are the only ones at the first level of Qi refining in this team, and they are both at the bottom.

Henry Zhang nodded.

"Hehe, I have participated five or six times. Everyone calls me 'Old Oil Guy'."

"Old oil man?" Henry Zhang cursed in his heart.

It must be that everyone thought this hunchbacked old man was slippery, so everyone gave him such a nickname.

However, the hunchbacked old man was not ashamed, but rather proud of this title.

"If you don't have a sharp mind, you can see in all directions and listen to all directions, you may die in the mouth of a monster in less than two or three times. You kid doesn't understand." The old oil man seemed to have read Henry Zhang's thoughts.

"Please teach me more, senior oilman." Henry Zhang made a modest gesture.

The oily old man nodded with satisfaction, and then started chatting.

From the old oil man’s mouth, Henry Zhang found out that the hunting team belonged to the Demon Hunting Alliance.

Moreover, it is obvious that the Monster Hunting Alliance has reached a large scale in hunting monster beasts.

A large number of hunting personnel were recruited, and there were hundreds of hunting teams.

The Demon Hunting Alliance will equip each hunting team with corresponding materials, pay year-end salaries, and transport team members into the depths of the Black Forest.

The most important thing is that the Monster Hunting Alliance is actually equipped with special monster information exploration personnel. If they find monster hunting traces, they will mark the location and report it to the Monster Hunting Alliance headquarters immediately.

The Monster Hunting Alliance headquarters can arrange for a monster hunting team to hunt monsters.

The monster hunting team can divide 10% of the monsters hunted, and the remaining 90% must be submitted to the monster hunting alliance.

Of this percentage, the captain alone accounts for 90%, and the remaining 10% is divided among a dozen other team members.

"The difference in share is probably too big." Henry Zhang said in a low voice.

"If you are strong enough, you can also form a hunting team and be the leader."

Henry Zhang was looking for fame, and the person who said he was alive was Gao Qiang.

Unexpectedly, the wind noise on the flying boat was so loud, but he still lowered his voice and said it, and the other party actually heard it.

Henry Zhang smiled awkwardly and simply lowered his head and said nothing.

"Captain, what kind of monster are we hunting this time?" asked the old man in red who was on the second level of Qi training.

"A mid-level first-order monster sea monkey."

"The mid-level first-order monster? The one with the highest cultivation level in our hunting team is at the third level of Qi Refining. He has not even reached the middle stage of Qi-refining. How can he compete with the mid-level first-order monster?" asked the old man in red.

"Don't forget, there are 13 of us. If there are too many ants, they can kill an elephant. If the hunting target is just an early-stage first-order monster, I can do it myself. There is no need to form another monster hunting team." Gao Qiang He said coldly.

"No, I want to quit." The old man in red said.

"Quit?" Gao Qiang's eyes flashed with a fierce light, "Don't forget, you have signed a life-and-death contract. Unless you die, you cannot quit. Let me say one more thing. During the battle, no one dares to escape without my order. That's also true. One dies.”

After hearing this, the old man in red felt like an eggplant beaten by frost.

A heavy atmosphere suddenly filled the entire flying boat.

Henry Zhang used his spiritual consciousness to scan the bloodthirsty bat in the imperial picture.

"The bloodthirsty bat is also at the mid-level first level, so it should be able to defeat the sea-crossing monkey." He thought to himself.

In less than an hour, Feizhou had left Fairy Cat Valley and entered the Black Forest.

The ancient trees in the Black Forest are towering and their branches are spread out across the sky.

The boat pilot is an experienced hand, and he didn't even get a scratch when flying the boat in the black forest.

"Are we almost here?" a person asked the boat master in front.

The boat master scratched his head and said: "Come on, come on, what are you in a hurry for? It's not like a young man entering the bridal chamber..."

As soon as the boat master finished speaking, a dark shadow fell from the towering ancient tree.

"Take it out—" Gao Qiang roared.

Henry Zhang immediately took out the rope and looked up to see a ferocious-looking sea monkey more than one foot tall.

This sea monkey held a stick in his hand and smashed it down towards the flying boat from high altitude.

Gao Qiang picked up a mountain ax and smashed it directly at the stick in Sea Monkey's hand.

"boom--"

The mountain ax in Gao Qiang's hand actually came out.

Fortunately, the sea monkey's attack was blocked. The boat master piloted the flying boat and dexterously avoided the sea monkey's attack.

Everyone threw the ropes in their hands towards the sea monkey.

As soon as the rope touches the sea monkey, it automatically becomes entangled.

Several ropes were wrapped directly around the sea monkey's legs.

The sea monkey grasped the ancient tree branches with both hands and swung its legs upwards like a swing.

Several team members holding ropes were thrown high into the sky.

"Get off the boat!" Gao Qiang ordered.

Several people on the boat jumped directly.

The boat master was still frightened and fled back in his flying boat.

Sea Monkey held a big stick and smashed it directly at Gao Qiang, who had the highest cultivation level.

Gao Qiang took out another knife.

Everyone discovered that this knife turned out to be a middle-grade magical weapon.

"Lang lang—"

With the sound of impact, Gao Qiang took a few big steps back. The bones in his right arm holding the knife were broken. It was actually broken by the big stick.
