Chapter 19 Chen Hu (1/2)

Chapter 19 Chen Hu

The Hunters Guild has always been the most lively place in every city.

Undoubtedly attracting attention, Luo Xiu came here with a bamboo hat.

Many warriors have some quirks or have some unknown purpose, so they hide their faces. There are many such people in the hunter's guild hall, so no one pays attention to Luo Xiu.

Most of the hunters have been away for a long time. After so many days, Luo Xiu only saw a few slightly familiar faces when he came here again.

He put on a hunter badge on his chest and walked straight to the counter.

"Hello hunter, how can I help you?" Jiang Shanshan, who was named the most beautiful woman in the Qingyun City Hunter Guild, asked with a smile.

"I would like to ask about the places near Qingyun City that are suitable for hunting at the ninth level of body refining." Luo Xiu asked.

Jiang Shanshan frowned slightly. For some reason, the voice of this man wearing a bamboo hat sounded familiar, and seemed to be a little... immature?

However, Jiang Shanshan didn't think much and said with a smile: "If you want to buy a hunting map, you will need one thousand taels of silver."

"Give me one." Luo Xiu took out the banknote and put it on the counter.

In the past, one thousand taels would have been an astronomical amount of wealth to him, but now it is not worth mentioning.

You can easily earn tens of thousands of taels of silver by just hunting down a first-level monster.

Jiang Shanshan naturally would not have thought that the man wearing a bamboo hat in front of her was the young man who had teased her some time ago.

Spending one thousand taels of silver, Luo Xiu got a map. The map covered the area centered on Qingyun City, and the areas suitable for hunting were also marked.

Among them, the yellow area is suitable for people below the eighth level of physical training, and Shuiwu Mountain is among them.

The red area is relatively dangerous, and usually only those led by Qihai realm warriors dare to enter.

The most dangerous thing is the area covered by black. Even the high-ranking Xiantian realm martial arts masters in Qingyun City dare not go deep into it easily.

"Baqi Mountain has many first-level monsters. There will be second-level monsters in the depths, in the red area."

Soon, Luo Xiu locked an area that suited him. As long as he didn't go too deep, he could ensure his safety.

"Shanshan, give me six glasses of fire wine!"

At this moment, a burly, eight-foot-tall man wearing black armor strode over and shouted boldly.

Behind this burly man, there were five people following. Each of them was dusty, their clothes and armor were slightly damaged, and they looked very tired.

However, Luo Xiu noticed that although these six people were tired, there was excitement in their eyes that could not be concealed.

Soon, six cups of fire wine were served. This kind of wine is very strong and burns like fire when it enters the throat, hence the name. Many hunters who wander between life and death and lick blood from the edge of their swords like the strong nature of this wine.

"Zhou Long, it looks like the harvest is good." Jiang Shanshan asked with a smile.

This group of hunters was Zhou Long and others whom Luo Xiu knew. Guo Ang and the twin sisters surnamed Ji were also among them. In addition, there were two unfamiliar faces, who should be new hunters who joined this team.

"Haha, that's natural. I got a big one this time!" Zhou Long smiled boldly, and six low-grade vitality stones appeared in his hand and placed them on the counter.

Luo Xiu narrowed his eyes and noticed the silver wristband on Zhou Long's wrist. This is a second-level array device called a storage wristband. It has a built-in space where items can be stored.

However, this second-level formation device is very expensive, costing at least five hundred low-grade vitality stones, and Luo Xiu can only covet it.

From the conversation between Zhou Long and Jiang Shanshan, Luo Xiu learned that Zhou Long led a team into the Baqi Mountains this time and hunted a second-level monster, the one-horned white rhinoceros. This monster has thick skin and thick flesh, and is difficult to hurt with a sword. .

Even though Zhou Long was a warrior in the Qi Sea Realm, a group of people had to go through a lot of tricks to hunt down such a beast.

The value of a one-horned white rhinoceros is about 400 low-grade vitality stones. This price made Luo Xiu speechless.

Putting away the map, Luo Xiu left the Hunters Guild directly without stopping here.

According to the markings on the map, Baqi Mountain is farther from Qingyun City than Shuiwu Mountain, and it takes more than half a day to reach it on horseback.

The original more than 30,000 taels of silver were used to buy the spirit-gathering formation device, plus the vitality stone and the Qi-nourishing Pill. There was not much left. Luo Xiu gritted his teeth and spent another 1,000 taels of silver to buy a horse. Suddenly Became a pauper again.

“If you don’t want to give up your children, you won’t find a wolf. Although the money is spent, you can make more back!”

In this way, with one man, one sword, and a yellow-maned horse, Luo Xiu left Qingyun City and headed straight for the location of Baqi Mountain.

Near the Baqi Mountains, there is a village-sized stronghold. Warriors who go hunting in the mountains will come here when they need various supplies and rest.

Half a day later, Luo Xiu arrived at the Baqi Mountain stronghold.

There are many people here, and those who come and go are all martial arts practitioners. There are also many merchants stationed here to purchase various materials and treasures from the warriors.

The stronghold has a special place to store horses, which costs ten taels of silver a day.

"Um?"

Luo Xiu had just put the horses away when he suddenly saw a slightly familiar figure. It was the Yuan Dashan he met while hunting the iron-tailed tiger demon in Shuiwu Mountain not long ago.

However, the people around Yuan Dashan have changed. It should be that after the deaths of Wang Yun and Zhang Hun, his hunting team also disbanded and joined another team.

Yuan Dashan did not notice Luo Xiu. Even if he did, he would not recognize Luo Xiu wearing a bamboo hat.

At this moment, the person who seemed to be the leader in Yuan Dashan's team suddenly looked towards Luo Xiu, with a meaningful smile on his lips.

This is a tall, middle-aged man, carrying an iron gun behind his back, wearing light armor, and with a fierce look on his brows.

Under the shadow of the bamboo hat, Luo Xiu frowned. He didn't know this person and didn't understand his intentions.

"Brothers, that boy is our target this time. The Zhang family has offered five hundred low-grade vitality stones to kill him." The man in light armor whispered.

"Brother, what is this kid's background that makes the Zhang family spend so much energy stone on us?" Yuan Dashan asked in a low voice.

The man in light armor curled his lips, "He's just a civilian boy. I heard that he killed the son of the head of the Zhang family, but these things have nothing to do with us. We just kill people and get money!"

Having said this, the man in light armor stared at Yuan Dashan and said in a deep voice: "This guy is a student of Wudian. Once the news leaks out, we will be hunted down by Wudian. You just joined, but you are also an old man in this industry." , I don’t need to tell you any more rules, right?”

When Yuan Dashan heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little bit in his heart. The Martial Hall cultivates young people and is naturally very protective of its students. Therefore, even if there is great hatred in the Martial Hall, once you kill someone, no matter where you come from, They are all dead ends.

However, if a Wudian student is killed or injured outside, Wudian will not intervene. However, if Wudian learns that the murder was intentional, it will be equivalent to breaking the rules and will be hunted down by Wudian.

The Qingyun City Martial Palace was founded more than 800 years ago, and many similar incidents have occurred. Families with well-established backgrounds have even been uprooted and executed!

"Don't worry, brother, I understand the rules." Yuan Dashan said quickly. He knew very well that since he got on Chen Hu's boat, there was no way out.

Chen Hu is the leader of this team, a Qi Sea Realm warrior!

In this area of ​​Mount Baqi, there are teams of Qi Sea Realm warriors, all of whom are top hunting teams. If a martial arts student at the Body Refining Realm is targeted, there is only one way to die.

…

Luo Xiu didn't know that he had been targeted. After all, he was a fourteen-year-old boy who was too immature in terms of experience. He thought that others wouldn't recognize him if he wore a bamboo hat.

In fact, as early as when he came out of the Martial Palace, people from the Zhang family had already secretly followed him.

"Roar!"

From time to time, beast roars were heard in the jungle of Baqi Mountain. Luo Xiu's figure shuttled through the forest. In his perception, the number of monsters in this mountain forest was simply terrifying.

During the hunting experience in Shuiwu Mountain, sometimes you might not be able to encounter a single monster for several days, but here, within Luo Xiu's perception alone, there were more than twenty monsters.

This is the outskirts of the Baqi Mountains. Generally, there will be no second-level monsters, but they are also first-level monsters, and there is a big gap in strength. Some powerful first-level monsters can even surpass the level and kill the second-level monsters. .

Based on the induction of the breath of life, Luo Xiu could roughly determine the strength of each monster. Finally, he locked on a breath of life, which was roughly equivalent to the iron-tailed tiger monster killed by Shuiwu Mountain, and comparable to the ninth level of body refining.

However, when Luo Xiu killed the iron-tailed tiger demon, he relied on a method that could directly damage the life veins. If he relied solely on his personal strength and fighting ability, Luo Xiu would not be the opponent of the iron-tailed tiger demon at all.

However, now that his cultivation has reached the seventh level of body refining, and he has mastered Pure Yang Kung Fu, his strength has greatly increased, so he wants to find a monster to try.

"Snapped!"

Stepping lightly on the tree trunk with the soles of his feet, Luo Xiu jumped up and rushed towards the target position he had locked.

Luo Xiu was already used to the environment in the mountains and forests. He moved as quickly as a leopard and quickly arrived near his destination. He hid behind a bush and squinted at it.

This is a wolf beast, but instead of hair, it has black scales, which shine with a cold luster under the dim light of the woods.

The black-armored wolf is the best among the first-level monsters, far more powerful than the iron-backed monster wolf in the hunter assessment.

At this moment, the black-armored wolf was holding a bloody prey under its claws, and was biting and devouring it.

"The black-armored wolf is good at speed and sharp claws. Let him be my first sparring partner in Baqi Mountain!"

While thinking about it, Luo Xiu's back arched slightly, and with a swish, he ran out of the bushes.

"Ouch!"

The black-armored wolf raised its head and howled, its fierce scarlet eyes locked on the human figure that was flying towards him.

Suddenly, the black-armored wolf flew towards Luo Xiu, so fast that it even vaguely left an afterimage in mid-air, especially the pair of claws that popped out suddenly, like a sharp knife, flashing with a sharp cold light.

Luo Xiu did not dare to resist head-on and quickly dodged to the side. At the same time, he suddenly took action and used the Dragon Tiger Fist and Tiger Style to attack the black-armored wolf that was in mid-air and unable to dodge.

But at this moment...

"Whoosh!"

A ray of cold light quickly sliced ​​across Luo Xiu's neck.

"That's so fast!" Luo Xiu quickly relied on Dacheng Chubu's movement technique to dodge. The black-armored wolf couldn't dodge in the air, but the speed of swinging its claws was too fast.

"Tamron style!"

Luo Xiu immediately changed his moves and landed a fierce blow on the black-armored wolf, sending it rolling away.

Luo Xiu did not use any means of damaging the vital veins of this blow. Even so, if a warrior was hit, his bones and tendons would be broken and he would fall to the ground, but the black-armored wolf was unscathed.

"Such hard scales!" Luo Xiu snorted coldly and drew out the sword from behind.

Although he has never practiced sword martial arts, if he is blessed with inner energy, his attack power will naturally be far better than that of fists.

I saw the black-armored wolf charging ferociously again. Luo Xiu relied on his Dacheng inchbu movement skills to keep dodging. The long sword blessed with inner energy kept colliding with the wolf's claws, and the sonorous sound echoed in the forest.

The black-armored wolf roared, its sharp claws embedded in the soil, and suddenly flew towards him like an arrow from a string.

Feeling the fishy wind rushing toward him, Luo Xiu's mouth sneered. After the previous confrontation, he had probably figured out the moves of this beast.

After all, monsters are monsters. Although they are smarter than wild beasts, their methods of fighting rely more on primitive instincts and no rules.

Luo Xiu's legs were bent, and his whole body was almost touching the ground. The moment the black-armored wolf flew past him, the Qingfeng sword in his hand suddenly struck out, stabbing the black-armored wolf's neck.

"Chi!"

The Qingfeng Sword blessed with inner energy had extremely strong penetrating power, and hot blood spurted out. The black-armored wolf landed three meters away, flopped and fell to the ground, its life breath constantly weakening.

Scarlet blood continued to flow and soon dyed the soil near the wolf corpse red.

This is the advantage of weapons. Without this Qingfeng Sword, Luo Xiu would have had to put in a lot of effort to kill the black-armored wolf with his fists.

But the Qingfeng Sword is just an ordinary weapon. If it is a warrior, even a low-grade human-level sword can easily kill first-level monsters without the blessing of inner energy.

The most valuable parts of the black-armored wolf were its claws and fangs. The black scales could also be sold for money, but collecting them was too troublesome, so Luo Xiu simply gave up.

Putting the collected materials into the package, Luo Xiu suddenly frowned, because in his perception, there were several auras belonging to human warriors, showing a fan shape and approaching his location, like an encirclement.
