The Hunter Guild has always been the busiest place in every city.
To attract attention, Luo Xiu came here with a bamboo hat.
Many warriors have some quirks or have some unknown intentions, which is why they conceal their faces. There are also many such people in the halls of the Hunter Guild, so no one pays attention to Luo Xiu.
Most hunters have been away for a long time, and after so many days, when Luo Xiu came back to this place, he only saw a few slightly familiar faces.
He wore a Star Hunter badge on his chest and walked straight to the counter.
"Hello Hunter, may I help you?" Jiang Shanshan, who was named the first beautiful woman of the Qingyun City Hunter Guild, asked with a smile on her face.
"I want to inquire about a place near Qingyun City that is suitable for body refining and nine level hunting," Luo Xiu asked.
Jiang Shanshan's eyebrows furrowed slightly. For some reason, this person wearing a bamboo hat sounded somewhat familiar in voice, as if there was a hint of... immaturity?
However, Jiang Shanshan didn't think much and smiled, saying, "If you want to buy a hunting map, you need one thousand taels of silver."
"Give me a copy." Luo Xiu directly took out the silver ticket and placed it on the counter.
If it were in the past, a thousand taels would have been an astronomical wealth for him, but now it is not worth mentioning.
Hunting any level one monster can easily earn tens of thousands of taels of silver.
Jiang Shanshan naturally wouldn't think of the person in front of her with a bamboo hat, who was the young man who had teased her a while ago.
After spending a thousand taels of silver, Luo Xiu obtained a map that included the area centered around Qingyun City and the areas suitable for hunting, all of which were marked.
Among them, the yellow area is suitable for refining below eight levels, and Shuiwu Mountain is among them.
The red area is relatively dangerous, and it is usually led by martial artists from the Qi Hai realm who dare to enter.
But the most dangerous area is covered in black, even the towering innate realm warriors in Qingyun City dare not venture deep.
"On Mount Baqi, there are mostly first level monsters, with second level monsters appearing deep in the red area."
Quickly, Luo Xiu locked in a suitable area for himself, as long as it was not too deep, it could ensure his safety and worry free.
"Shanshan, give me six cups of roasted wine!"
At this moment, a burly man, wearing black armor and standing eight feet tall, strode forward and shouted boldly.
Behind this burly and strong man, there were five people following, each covered in dust and dust, with slightly damaged clothing and armor, appearing very tired.
However, Luo Xiu noticed that although these six people were tired, there was an indescribable excitement in their eyes.
Quickly, six cups of roasted wine were served, which was very strong and burned like fire in the throat, hence its name. Many hunters wandering between life and death, licking blood with their swords, loved the strength of this wine.
"Zhou Long, it seems like the harvest is good," Jiang Shanshan asked with a smile.
This group of hunters is Zhou Long and others known by Luo Xiu. Guo Ang and Ji's twin sisters are also among them. In addition, there are two strange faces. They should be new hunters in this group.
"Haha, that's natural, this time we got a big guy!" Zhou Long laughed heartily, and six inferior vitality stones appeared in his hand, placing them on the counter.
Luo Xiu squinted his eyes and noticed the silver wrist guard on Zhou Long's wrist. It was a second-order formation device called a storage wrist guard, which contained storage space and could store items.
However, this second-order array device is very expensive, with a minimum cost of 500 lower grade elemental stones, which Luo Xiu could only envy.
From the conversation between Zhou Long and Jiang Shanshan, Luo Xiu learned that Zhou Long led his team into the Baqi Mountain and hunted and killed a second level monster, the unicorn white rhinoceros. This monster has thick skin and is difficult to damage with swords.
Even though Zhou Long was a martial artist in the Qi Sea realm, a group of people had to resort to various means to hunt and kill such a head.
The value of a unicorn white rhinoceros is about 400 yuan, which is a lower grade vitality stone. This price makes Luo Xiu shudder.
In Qingyun City, the things that truly stand on the table are not measured by silver and gold, but by vitality stones.
Only ordinary items are traded with gold and silver.
At the same time, Luo Xiu also learned that the materials obtained from hunting monsters can be sold to the Hunter Guild at an absolutely fair price, which will not make the Hunter lose money. Therefore, many Hunters are also willing to sell their things to the Guild.
Put away the map, Luo Xiu didn't stay here and left the Hunter Guild directly.
According to the annotations on the map, Mount Baqi is further away from Qingyun City than Mount Shuiwu, and it takes more than half a day to reach by horse riding.
After purchasing the Spirit Gathering Formation device, along with the Yuan Qi Stone and the Yang Qi Pill, Luo Xiu had only a little more than 30000 taels of silver left. He gritted his teeth and spent another 1000 taels of silver to buy a horse, suddenly becoming a poor person again.
"I can't bear to let go of my child's trap and not find a wolf. Although I've spent all my money, I can earn back more!"
So, with one person, one sword, and one yellow haired horse, Luo Xiu left Qingyun City and headed straight for the location of Baqi Mountain.
Near the Baqi Mountain, there is a village sized stronghold where martial artists who enter the mountain for hunting and training come when they need various supplies to rest.
Half a day later, Luo Xiu arrived at the Baqi Mountain stronghold.
There are many people here who come and go to practice martial arts. There are also many merchants stationed here, purchasing various materials and treasures from martial artists.
There is a dedicated place for storing horses in the stronghold, which requires ten taels of silver per day.
"Hmm?"
Luo Xiu had just stored his horse when he suddenly saw a slightly familiar figure, Yuan Dashan, whom he had recently encountered while hunting the Iron Tailed Tiger Demon in Shuiwu Mountain.
However, the people around Yuan Dashan have changed. It should be after the deaths of Wang Yun and Zhang Hun that his hunting team also disbanded and joined another team.
Yuan Dashan did not notice Luo Xiu, even if he noticed that Luo Xiu was wearing a bamboo hat, he could not recognize him.
At this moment, the seemingly leading person in Yuan Dashan's team suddenly looked at Luo Xiu, with a meaningful smile on his lips.
This is a tall middle-aged man with an iron gun on his back, wearing light armor, and a fierce aura between his eyebrows.
Under the shadow of the bamboo hat, Luo Xiu frowned. He didn't know the person and didn't understand their intentions.
"Brothers, that kid is our target this time. The Zhang family offered him 500 inferior vitality stones to take his life," the lightly armored man whispered.
"Big brother, why did this kid ask us to take action for Zhang Jiahua's diverse gas stones?" Yuan Dashan asked softly.
The lightly armored man pursed his lips and said, "Just a commoner kid. I heard he deposed the son of the Zhang family, but these things have nothing to do with us. Just kill and get money! People get money!"
At this point, the lightly armored man stared at Yuan Dashan and said in a deep voice, "This kid is a student of the Martial Palace. Once there is any news, we will be chased by the Martial Palace. You have just joined, but you are also an old man in this industry. I don't need to tell you the rules anymore, right?"
Upon hearing these words, Yuan Dashan couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart. The martial arts hall cultivates young people and naturally protects students. Therefore, even if there is great hatred in the martial arts hall, once you start killing someone, no matter what your background is, it will be a dead end.
However, if there are casualties among the students outside, the martial arts hall will not intervene. However, if the martial arts hall finds out that it was intentional murder, it is equivalent to violating the rules and being pursued by the martial arts hall.
The Qingyun City Martial Palace has been established for over 800 years, and there have been many similar incidents. Families with strong backgrounds have even been uprooted and their entire families have been executed!
"Don't worry, big brother. I understand the rules," Yuan Dashan quickly said. He knew very well that since he had boarded Chen Hu's ship, there was no way out.
Chen Hu is the leader of this team, a martial artist in the Qi Sea realm!
In the area of Baqi Mountain, teams of martial artists from the Qi Sea realm are all top-notch hunting teams. A martial arts student from the Refining Body realm is targeted, leaving only a dead end.
Luo Xiu did not know that he had been targeted. After all, he was a fourteen year old boy, and his experience was too immature. He thought that wearing a hat would make others unrecognizable.
Actually, when he came out of the martial arts palace, the people of the Zhang family had already secretly followed him.
"Roar!"
From time to time, animal roars could be heard in the jungle of Mount Baqi, and Luo Xiu's figure shuttled through the forest. In his perception, the number of demon beasts in this mountain forest was simply terrifying.
During the hunting experience in Shuiwu Mountain, sometimes it may not be possible to encounter a demon beast for several days, but here, in Luo Xiu's perception alone, there are more than twenty demon beasts.
This is the outskirts of Mount Baqi, and generally there are no second level monsters. However, as first level monsters, there is also a considerable difference in strength. Some powerful first level monsters can even surpass their level to defeat second level monsters.
Based on the induction of life breath, Luo Xiu can roughly determine the strength of each monster. In the end, he locked in a breath of life, which is roughly equivalent to the Iron Tailed Tiger Demon killed by Shuiwu Mountain, comparable to the Nine Heavens of Body Refining.
However, when Luo Xiu killed the Iron Tailed Tiger Demon, he relied on methods that could directly damage his life meridians. If he only relied on his personal strength and combat ability, Luo Xiu could not be a match for the Iron Tailed Tiger Demon.
However, now his cultivation has been elevated to the seventh level of body refining, and he has achieved pure yang skill, greatly increasing his strength. Therefore, he wants to find a demon beast to try.
"Pop!"
Gently stomping on the tree trunk with his foot, Luo Xiu jumped up and rushed towards the direction he had set his sights on.
For the environment in the mountains and forests, Luo Xiu was already accustomed to it. He was agile like a leopard and quickly arrived near his destination, hiding behind a patch of bushes and squinting his eyes.
This is a wolf beast, but its body is not fur, but black scales, shining with a cold luster in the dim light of the forest.
The Black Armored Wolf, one of the top tier demon beasts, is far more powerful than the Iron backed Demon Wolf in the Hunter's assessment.
At this moment, the black armored wolf's claws were pressing down on a bloody prey, tearing and devouring it in large bites.
"The Black Armored Wolf is good at speed and sharp claws, so let's take it as my first companion for training on Mount Baqi!"
In thought, Luo Xiu's waist and back arched slightly, and with a swoosh, he darted out of the bushes.
"Ow!"
The black armored wolf looked up and howled, with a pair of fierce crimson eyes that locked onto the human figure rushing towards it.
Suddenly, the Black Armored Wolf rushed towards Luo Xiufei at such a fast speed that it even faintly cast shadows in mid air, especially the pair of claws that suddenly popped out, like sharp knives, flashing with a sharp cold light.
Luo Xiu dared not confront him head-on and quickly dodged to the side. At the same time, he suddenly made a move, using the Dragon Tiger Fist and Tiger style to attack the Black Armored Wolf, who was unable to dodge in mid air.
But at this moment
"Whoosh!"
A cold light swiftly sliced across Luo Xiu's neck.
"What a fast speed!" Luo Xiu quickly dodged with Da Cheng's inch by inch body technique. The Black Armored Wolf couldn't dodge in the air, but the speed of waving its claws was too fast.
"Tenglong style!"
Luo Xiu immediately changed his move and delivered a fierce blow, hitting the Black Armored Wolf and rolling it out.
This strike by Luo Xiu did not use any means to damage the veins of his life. Even so, if a martial artist is hit, he will break his bones and tendons and fall to the ground, while the Black Armored Wolf is unharmed.
"What hard scales!" Luo Xiu snorted coldly and drew out his long sword from behind.
Although I have not practiced swordsmanship, with the support of internal qi, my attack power naturally surpasses that of a fist.
I saw the Black Armored Wolf pounce fiercely again, and Luo Xiu kept dodging with his great step by step body technique. The long sword, blessed with internal energy, collided with the wolf's claws, and the resounding sound echoed in the forest.
The black armored wolf let out a low roar, its claws embedded in the soil, and suddenly flew like an arrow flying away from the string.
Feeling the gust of fishy wind rushing towards him, Luo Xiu sneered at the corners of his mouth. After the previous confrontation and probing, he probably had a clear understanding of the beast's moves.
Monsters, after all, are monsters. Although they are smarter than wild beasts, they rely more on primitive instincts and have no rules and regulations for their fighting methods.
I saw Luo Xiu's legs bent and his whole body almost touching the ground. As the Black Armored Wolf flew over him, the Green Blade sword in his hand suddenly struck and stabbed the Black Armored Wolf's neck.
"Shit!"
The Qingfeng Sword, blessed with internal energy, has extremely strong penetration power. Hot blood spurts out, and the Black Armored Wolf falls three meters away. With a thud, it tilts to the ground, weakening its vital energy.
Scarlet blood kept flowing, quickly staining the soil near the wolf corpse.
This is the advantage of weapons. If it weren't for this Qingfeng sword, Luo Xiu would have had to use his fists to kill this black armored wolf. It would have taken a lot of effort to do so.
However, the Qingfeng Sword is still just an ordinary weapon. If it is a warrior, even if it is a lower level warrior sword, it can easily kill level one monsters without the need for internal energy blessing.
The most valuable items of a black armored wolf are its claws and fangs, and the black scales can also be sold for money, but collecting them is too troublesome, so Luo Xiu gave up directly.
Putting the collected materials into the package, Luo Xiu suddenly frowned because in his perception, there were several auras belonging to human warriors, presenting a fan-shaped approach towards his position, like an encirclement.
In fact, Luo Xiu had already noticed these people when he first entered the Baqi Mountain, but there were many martial artists who had hunted and practiced in the mountain, so he didn't pay much attention to them.
But the breath of these few people lingered nearby and approached him in a form of encirclement, which made him have to doubt it.
