In the early morning, the young people, who had rested all night, got up early, climbed down from the top of the mountain, climbed over the mountains and ridges, and headed towards the canyon where the Red Fire Snake Cave was located.
The mountains are steep and the jungle is dense.
But they have been staying in the mountains for a month, and there is no water on the top of the mountain. They often need to go down to the foot of the mountain to get water from the stream. They have long been accustomed to climbing over mountains and ridges, and these mountains are not much different from the plains.
An hour later, they arrived within a few miles of the Red Fire Snake Cave marked on the Luyang Mansion Adventurer Map.
"Everyone, be careful, we are very close to the snake den here! This red fire snake has a keen sense of smell. If it is frightened, it is likely to hide deep in the cave, making it difficult to catch it."
"I'll go ahead and investigate!"
Qin Yu'er used Qinggong to fly up to a tall tree dozens of feet tall, squatting on a branch and looking around.
"The Red Fire Snake Cave should be there!"
She quickly found the target, pointed her jade hand, and whispered.
All the young men were startled, looking for hiding places nearby and looking in the direction Qin Yuer pointed.
On a rock wall, there is a snake cave that is ten feet high. Within a few feet of the cave, there is almost no grass growing, and the ground seems to be scorched.
Not surprisingly, this should be the red fire snake's cave.
But what is surprising is that on this scorched ground, there is actually a shrub growing on it, with fiery red fruits growing like red flames, exuding an alluring fragrance.
"What kind of fruit is that?"
Ye Fan is strange.
"It's a red blood fruit. Judging from its fiery red color like red flames, it should be a first-order and sixth-grade fruit! ... This is a blood-tonifying fruit. It only grows at the entrance of the Red Fire Snake Cave. It is a red fire snake. It is nourished with snake saliva every day, which is extremely beneficial to strengthening the warrior's energy and blood! Vicious beasts also like to eat this fruit, which can make them quickly increase their strength!"
Lin Danxin exclaimed in a low voice.
"Sixth grade?"
"My family only gives me one third-grade herb every month! There are actually sixth-grade fruits here!"
All the young people looked shocked and their hearts beat thumpingly.
The sixth-grade qi and blood replenishing fruit is enough to make the children of wealthy families like them tempted.
You know, the reward given by Luyang Mansion to the top one in the martial arts department is a fifth-grade purple blood deer antler worth one thousand taels of silver and three third-grade red blood vine herbs.
Among the eight major families in Luyang Mansion, only the young and middle-aged generation who are above the sixth level of the warrior stage are eligible to use one herb every few months.
Their current strength is at the third or fourth level of warriors, and their families will not give them herbs of this level.
There were ten of them, but they had only one fruit. If it weren't for the fact that this was the entrance to the Red Fire Snake Cave and they didn't know the situation here, they might have taken action long ago.
"Qin Shimei, this sixth-grade fruit is right next to the cave. Why doesn't the Red Fire Snake eat it?"
Feng Shuang wondered.
Ao Lie smiled coldly and said: "Master Feng, can't you understand this simple hunting trick? This red fire snake deliberately left this fruit here uneaten, just to wait for the rabbit. If any insect beast dares to eat this The fruit is definitely an instant kill with one strike! The Red Fire Snake can easily hunt for food without leaving home."
Everyone couldn't help but laugh softly.
This is common sense about trapping food in the wild, but if you have no experience in surviving in the wild, you may not know it.
Feng Shuang is either practicing martial arts or focusing on refining weapons, and he knows almost nothing about these.
Feng Shuang's face turned red, and he was a little annoyed. He retorted unconvinced: "Well, I can't say for sure! It could also be that the Red Fire Snake doesn't eat this kind of fruit."
"Then you dare to take it off and try?"
"If the red fire snake is not in the cave, I will definitely pick it!"
Feng Shuang curled his lips and didn't move.
He is not stupid either. The strength of this Red Fire Snake is at least level six, which is extraordinary. He cannot resist it alone.
Ao Lie sneered.
Jiang Youxi quickly interrupted and said, "It's not noon yet, we still have enough time! Everyone, please patiently observe here for an hour to see what's going on in this snake den, and don't act rashly."
The young men were silent, each resting in hiding.
Time passed little by little, and less than half an hour passed.
Suddenly, a low-level ferocious bat passed through the valley. It was looking for food. It seemed to have discovered something. With a flash of light, it suddenly swooped down from mid-air and pounced on the red blood fruit in front of the snake cave.
"There is movement!"
Ye Fan exclaimed in a low voice.
The young men couldn't help but perked up and stared closely at the ferocious bat and the red fire cave. The fierce bat was very small and probably only had first-level strength.
"Hmph! If it dares to snatch away the red blood fruit, I will shoot it with an arrow!"
Zhao Feiyang's eyes revealed a sharp light, he drew out a sharp arrow, and instantly opened the divine arm bow, narrowed his eyes, and aimed the bow and arrow at the fierce bat. If that ferocious bat wanted to take away the red blood fruit, he would shoot it down immediately with one arrow.
Whistle!
Just when the low-level ferocious bat was about to pounce on the red blood fruit, a light fire-colored shadow several feet long suddenly shot out of the red fire snake cave.
This pale fire-colored shadow's head suddenly opened its bloody mouth several feet wide, biting the fierce bat tightly.
Whistle!
The ferocious bat only arrived in time to squeak, and the long pale fire-colored shadow dragged the ferocious bat back into the cave.
The entire attack process only lasted less than one or two seconds.
Deep inside the Red Fire Snake Cave, there was the sound of swallowing and squirming.
"Too, too fast!"
Ye Fan was shocked.
He practiced the quick-attack martial art "Three Flash Techniques", but considering his martial arts strength, he was still shocked by the attack speed of this red fire snake.
Now that he has reached the third level in the "Three Flash Technique" martial arts training, he can barely match the speed of the red fire snake.
All the young men felt cold and frightened all over their bodies.
Ao Lie was surprised and said: "This red fire snake is too fast! Red fire snakes usually have 'blitz' and 'poison' beast talismans. It definitely cultivates the 'attack speed' beast talisman, and may also have drama Poison! It's the kind that kills with one hit!"
Jiang Youxi asked: "Did you see it clearly just now? What does it look like?"
"My eyesight is average. It was too fast and I didn't see it clearly."
Ao Lie shook his head.
"This red fire snake has seven rings on its body. It grows every time it sheds its skin, which means it has shed its skin at least seven times. It is now a first-order, seventh-grade ferocious beast!"
Ye Fan said at this time that he practiced flash fist and his eyesight improved a lot, and he could see the shadow clearly just now.
Jiang Youxi was surprised: "A first-order, seventh-grade ferocious beast? On the "Luyang Map", doesn't it say that this red fire snake is only a first-order, sixth-order beast?!"
Ye Fan shook his head and said: "This map was made a few months ago. I guess it just shed its skin recently and grew up once, becoming a first-order, seventh-grade ferocious beast."
"This is how to do?"
"No wonder no one dares to touch the red blood fruit at the entrance of the snake cave. Those lower-level beasts directly become its food. It is fast and highly poisonous! Even higher-level beasts do not dare to do so easily. To provoke it."
All the young people were shocked.
The first-order and seventh-level ferocious beast is the late stage of ferocious beast level. Its strength is far superior to each of them. Even if ten of them join forces to deal with this red fire snake, it will still be very dangerous.
"If it were on flat ground, maybe the ten of us would have the opportunity to hunt it from a distance with bows, arrows and hidden weapons. But it is very cunning and vicious. It has been hiding in the cave and using this red blood fruit to trap food outside. Don't get out. It hides in this deep cave and occupies a great advantage. It is so strong. If we dare to go into the cave to kill it, we will definitely die. Unless... ...It comes out of the cave on its own initiative, so we have a small chance to hunt it! It's actually easy to lure it out. The key is whether we have the strength to kill it!"
On Mu Bing's beautiful face, her bright eyes flashed and she analyzed.
Qin Yuer hesitated and said: "Sister Bing, it is so powerful, should we kill it?"
"Of course I'll kill him!"
Zhao Feiyang said in a cold voice: "It has venom and quick attacks, but I have a bow and arrows that can shoot from a long distance! As long as it dares to come out of the hole, I am 70% sure to kill it."
"I also support killing it! If you kill it, you can not only get a first-level seventh-level ferocious beast, but also a sixth-level red blood fruit. It's definitely a good deal!"
"The first-order seventh-grade ferocious snake is a very nourishing ingredient! If we stew it and eat it, our physical strength will be greatly increased within at least half a month, and we will be full of vigor and vitality. We will be a hundred times more energetic when practicing."
"Okay! Kill it~!"
After some discussion, the young men decided to kill the red fire snake.
They have no hunting experience, but as young geniuses from the top ten martial arts schools in Luyang Mansion, they are the first-level figures in the nine series, and are the top people among thousands of martial arts students.
Everyone is proud and arrogant. A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. No one wants to admit defeat in front of other young geniuses.
"A snake can't do without a head! Hunting this red fire snake is very dangerous. The ten of us must have a team leader to take command. I won't take command this time. Which of you will be the team leader and take command?"
Jiang Youxi asked hesitantly.
The last time in the Luyang Mansion, he was the one who commanded the entry into the Starfall Gravity Corridor.
But the gravity corridor is actually not dangerous. If they cannot hold on, Li Jiaoyu will shut down the control mechanism of the machine puppet in the gravity corridor. At most, they will be beaten hard by the machine puppet with their fists, and they will definitely not die.
But in the deep mountains of Luyang, being caught and bitten by the red fire snake's bloody mouth would probably be a fatal blow. Without an antidote, it would be too late to save him.
Especially those who are closer to the Red Fire Snake are more likely to die in battle.
As the leader of a team, how do you plan tactics? No matter who among the people dies while hunting the ferocious beast, he will bear the greatest responsibility.
Especially in this talented little class, almost everyone has a noble and important status.
Can Mu Bing, the legitimate daughter of Dean Mu, die? Can Jiang Youxi, the son of City Lord Jiang, die? Can the wealthy Zhao Feiyang of the Zhao family die? Lin Danxin, Feng Shuang, Wang Lie, etc. are the same.
If anyone dies, the eight wealthy families in Luyang Mansion will be extremely furious.
Although Ao Lie and Sun Zaoli were civilian students, they were direct disciples of Chairman Wei Shou and Qian Dayuan respectively. They were also civilians with backers.
The Luyang Mansion will definitely pursue the case. Although there will be no fatal punishment, the squad leader may be incarcerated for several years. The rest were also punished with confinement for at least several months.
Jiang Youxi didn't want someone in the team to die because of her arrangement. I don't want to make a mistake and be severely punished with several years of confinement, which will make me crazy.
All the young men thought about this problem and fell silent for a moment.
If there is no danger in this battle, it doesn't matter who takes command. But this battle is too dangerous. Who will be the team leader and bear the responsibility in case a team member dies?
