Thud thud thud...
The two of them walked silently. It had been half a day since they entered the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Along the way, they encountered all kinds of Demon Beasts. There were foxes, rabbits, antelopes, elk, wild boars, and so on. They only swept through them and did not kill them.
Hunting Demon Beasts followed two principles. One was that Demon Beasts that were too low in value could not be killed. The other was that Demon Beasts that were too dangerous could not be killed.
The two of them moved forward, constantly searching for their target.
Along the way, they encountered some Demon Beasts that were fighting each other. There were wild wolves Demon Beasts hunting rabbits, and there were also wild wolves and porcupines fighting. Many Demon Beasts were engaged in a life and death battle.
Due to their race and nature, many Demon Beasts fought fiercely, and many of them died.
The two of them avoided those fighting Demon Beasts.
Along the way, they also encountered some mountain ranges, lakes, valleys, cliffs, and other areas. Spirit veins were buried underground, and they were not inferior to the ones at the Wu Clan Market.
However, these areas were all protected and occupied by Foundation Establishment demons.
Lu Xuanji carefully avoided these places with dense spiritual energy. The areas he walked through were mostly mountains or valleys with thin spiritual energy.
"Big Brother, what Demon Beast are we going to hunt this time?"
It had been half a month. Seeing that Lu Xuanji had not killed a single Demon Beast, Ye Feixue was a little impatient and could not help but ask, "We should start now."
Lu Xuanji was not anxious. He said slowly, "This is the first time we have come to the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Our main goal is not to hunt, but to familiarize ourselves with the environment here and then find a target."
Seeing Lu Xuanji's calm expression, she could only endure her anxiety.
Lu Xuanji smiled. He subconsciously patted Ye Feixue's head and said, "Little Xue, this place is not simple. We have to take precautions."
"Not simple?" Ye Feixue said, "I think that as long as we avoid the Foundation Establishment Demonic Beasts and hunt high-level Demon Beasts, it won't be a big problem."
Lu Xuanji smiled, but he did not answer and continued to move forward.
He seemed to be walking aimlessly. However, while he was walking, his phone was taking photos, videos, and so on. He recorded all kinds of information about spirit plants and herbs in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. He was collecting data, and as a large amount of data was recorded, he was also responding to all kinds of information.
[A Foundation Establishment Demon Beast is staring at you, but it has just eaten its fill, so it can't be bothered with you.]
[A Foundation Establishment Demon Beast has discovered you, but there is a foul smell on your body (the smell of medicinal herbs on your robe). This foul smell is like a pile of feces, and it is too lazy to eat you.]
[A Foundation Establishment Demon Beast has discovered you, but it is a vegetarian animal. It is too lazy to pay attention to you.]
[A Foundation Establishment Demon Beast has discovered you, but because you are walking at the intersection of the two Demon Beasts' territories, it doesn't want to alarm the other Demon Beasts. Therefore, it is too lazy to pay attention to you.]
[A Foundation Establishment Demon Beast discovered you, so it started to follow you. However, very quickly, on the other side of the territory, there were three human cultivators who were hunting its kind. Thus, it pounced over and ate the three humans, using them as snacks.]
In the past few days, after walking for a month, the sound of a mobile phone alarm would constantly transmit to him, indicating that danger was approaching.
Lu Xuanji was shocked. The world was so dangerous, and he became more and more careful.
Suddenly, the sound of a phone call came again.
[A Foundation Establishment Demon Beast has discovered you and plans to capture you and use you as food for its offspring.]
[Host, run quickly.]
Lu Xuanji felt that something was wrong, so he immediately pulled Ye Feixue and said, "Run quickly."
Whoosh!
In an instant, they had already run 300 meters away.
On the spot, a black cat appeared. Its body was only 20 centimeters long. It looked small and cute, like a pet.
At that moment, it pounced towards Lu Xuanji.
However, Lu Xuanji dodged the attack.
"Meow."
The Black Cat meowed and pounced towards Lu Xuanji.
[Ding Dong. Host, be careful. This is a Netherworld Cat with Foundation Establishment cultivation. It is pouncing towards you, host.]
[According to the data analysis, Qi Refinement Demon Beasts have a chaotic and low IQ. Foundation Establishment Demon Beasts have an IQ equivalent to that of a seven-year-old child. Therefore, the Netherworld Cat in front of you has a low IQ. This is the first flaw.]
[Netherworld Cats are feline animals. They have strong explosive power and weak endurance. They can only chase after the host for ten seconds at most before giving up due to a decrease in stamina. This is the second flaw.]
[The Netherworld Cat belongs to the cat family. It is fast and agile, but its strength is inferior. In terms of speed and explosive power, it is comparable to a human cultivator in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment stage. However, in terms of strength, it is only comparable to a cultivator in the fifth level of the Qi Refinement stage. This is the third flaw.]
At this moment, the mobile phone rang. Fate Deduction gave the corresponding information based on the data.
Whoosh!
The Netherworld Cat approached Lu Xuanji. In less than two seconds, it was about to catch up to the two of them.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Xuanji stopped.
Prison Talisman!
He stretched out his hand and struck out a talisman. The runes on the talisman were changing, transforming into a spell called Prison Spell.
This spell was very weak, and could only trap a seventh level Qi Refinement cultivator for two breaths.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
A huge light barrier appeared and instantly enveloped the Netherworld Cat.
The Netherworld Cat's body was in the air, but it nimbly spun its body and deftly avoided the prison talisman.
However, a long sword flashed and stabbed towards the Netherworld Cat's heart. The Netherworld Cat's body moved slightly, avoiding the fatal sword attack.
Right at this moment, Ye Feixue made her move. She waved her hand and threw out a Prison Talisman. It was like an upside-down bowl, directly landing on the Netherworld Cat's body.
Chi! Chi!
The Netherworld Cat was furious. Its claws were tearing at the prison, but its strength was too weak. It tore at it seven or eight times, but it still could not tear it open.
It took three breaths before the prison was torn open.
At this moment, a silver bowl was placed on top of it and the Netherworld Cat was sucked into it.
Bang bang!
The Netherworld Cat was struggling, but it did not struggle for long before a sword Qi pierced through its eyes and crushed its head.
The Netherworld Cat fell to the ground, its eyes filled with rage and unwillingness.
Huff huff huff.
"It's finally dead." Looking at the dead Netherworld Cat, Lu Xuanji let out a sigh of relief.
"We actually killed a Netherworld Cat," Ye Feixue said, her heart filled with fear.
The Netherworld Cat was good at hiding and ambushing. It silently approached the enemy, then opened the enemy's chest and ate the enemy's heart.
The Netherworld Cat liked to eat animal hearts. Sometimes, even some Foundation Establishment cultivators would die to Netherworld Cats.
However, now, they had killed a Netherworld Cat.
"Lucky!" Lu Xuanji sighed.
"Your sense of danger is too strong. You can actually sense the Netherworld Cat's ambush." Ye Feixue's eyes flashed with a trace of admiration. According to legends, certain cultivators had extraordinary talent, such as sudden inspiration, a sense of danger, and so on. These cultivators were naturally suited to walk the Path of Heavenly Secrets, her brother also had such a talent.
"Haha." Lu Xuanji laughed awkwardly.
It was slightly embarrassing. The phone should take the credit, not him.
No, the phone is mine, so the credit is also mine.
Looking at the Netherworld Cat's corpse, Lu Xuanji still had lingering fear in his heart.
Human cultivators were relatively balanced in terms of strength, speed, reaction, and other aspects. They did not have many advantages, but they also did not have any shortcomings. They belonged to the balanced type.
However, Demon Beasts were different. Their data were extremely unbalanced. It was just like the Netherworld Cat. It relied on its speed, powerful reaction, and was good at hiding and ambushing. It could even kill Foundation Establishment cultivators.
However, once it was discovered in advance, and if one employed a strategy, Qi Refinement cultivators of the eighth level and seventh level combined could kill it.
