Chapter 309 Catching Birds
Near the misty coastal area, the temperature has increased significantly, and exposed rocks and soil can be seen, as well as more plants.
However, in areas such as the Central Region, the temperature is still very low, and ordinary people dare not stay outside at night.
Of course, all this has no impact on Xu Mu.
He has reached the perfection of the golden elixir and is successful in body refining. Even if the environment is ten times worse, he can still live well.
After arriving at the coastal area, Xu Mu began to inquire about the mist bird. I thought I could buy it easily, but I didn't expect it to be quite troublesome.
First of all, mist birds cannot be artificially bred and can only be caught in the wild. This is not a problem for Xu Mu, as long as the spiritual stone is available, he can always buy it.
The trouble is, the Misty Bird actually still has a shelf life.
According to the research of practitioners, the reason why the fog bird can see through the fog relies on its mysterious and mysterious sixth sense.
This feeling needs to be cultivated slowly by living among a flock of birds for a long time. If a practitioner captures the mist bird and raises it, the mist bird will soon lose this ability to sense.
For this reason, there has gradually been an unwritten rule along the coast. The mist bird must be put back after being used once, and it can only be caught at specific times every year.
It is a pity that Xu Mu missed this time. Although there are still mist birds on the market, it is difficult to tell whether they have been used.
If it is used, it can be very dangerous.
In other words, if you want to be sure, it’s best to catch them yourself or buy them during the season when catching mist birds.
Besides that, there is another reason.
Depending on the level of the mist bird, the bird will not listen to the distance it can defend.
A first-order mist bird can only discern directions within a thousand miles.
The second level can discern the direction in the mist of thousands of miles, and the third level can discern the direction of a hundred thousand miles. There is also a mutated mist bird of the third level, known as the King of Birds, which is said to be able to discern a million miles.
According to Black Nascent Soul's calculations, the Tianchi of Creation is likely to be two to three hundred thousand miles away. If he wanted to be absolutely sure, Xu Mu had better buy a mutated mist bird.
It's just that the number of mutated mist birds is extremely low. Even if they are occasionally caught, they will be snatched up immediately. It is impossible to buy them during this time.
So you have to wait!
For safety reasons, Xu Mu didn't mind waiting for a while.
In this way, more than half a year passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, the residents near the coast, as long as they reached the Qi training stage, basically rushed in a certain direction. At the same time, a large number of high-level practitioners also rushed over, but stopped when they reached an open space. During the Qi training period, continue to move forward.
Xu Mu's main body did not go, but sent a clone that had reached the advanced stage of Qi training to follow him.
The reason why I didn't follow up was very simple, as long as the foundation building period was exceeded, the mist birds would be scared away.
Thanks to that mysterious sixth sense, the mist bird can feel the presence of high-level practitioners from a long distance away.
As long as a high-level practitioner appears, the mist bird will hide in the mist sea.
This is the experience gained by the practitioners on the coast after many lessons.
…
The clone followed the large army and flew for most of the day. Finally, it stopped at a place full of cliffs. This was the place to capture the mist bird.
The rocks above the cliff are full of holes the size of a human head, which is where the mist birds live.
No one knew what the mist bird was originally called. It was just because it could identify the direction in the fog, so it was renamed the mist bird.
For residents along the coast, catching mist birds is almost an annual event, and it is also an opportunity for many practitioners to make a fortune.
Mist birds are small monsters, and their strength is mainly reflected in their speed. Even the third-level mist birds can be dealt with by ordinary Qi training in the early stages. They cannot be beaten, but they are not dangerous.
Because of its special characteristics, the price of the mist bird is more than double that of the same monster beast.
There is no danger and the price is high, which makes everyone flock to it.
In the crowd, Xu Mu even saw many boys and girls who had just condensed their spiritual power. I have to say, it was really crazy.
After everyone arrived at the place, they separated, picked their spots, and started making preparations.
Catching mist birds is different from catching ordinary monsters. The senses of mist birds are too keen. As long as there is strong hostility, they can easily be scared away.
The method they used was somewhat similar to ordinary people setting up traps, dropping bait and hiding around, waiting for the mist bird to enter the trap, and then catch it.
Although there are a lot of misty birds, there are also a lot of people catching them. In this case, the closer you are, the more advantage you have. The larger the area you occupy, the more people you will attract.
Although Xu Mu only maintained his cultivation level in the late stage of Qi training, his real strength was naturally much stronger than that in the ordinary late stage of Qi training. With his strong strength, he almost took the lead and grabbed the best position, but he didn't wait for him to set up a trap. , a group of people came to trouble him.
"This is our place, get out of here!"
The leading monk had a fat face and said unceremoniously.
Behind the fat-faced monk were seven or eight other monks, half of whom were in the late stages of Qi training.
Xu Mu didn't talk nonsense to him. A flying sword flew out from his waist and passed across the neck of the fat-faced monk like lightning. A round head fell off his neck.
The scene in front of them scared everyone and took a step back.
"Get lost! Don't make me say it a second time!" Xu Mu said coldly.
"Don't be afraid, everyone, we... poof!"
One of them wanted to encourage everyone to take action, but before he finished speaking, he followed in the footsteps of the fat-faced monk.
The remaining people were completely frightened and hurriedly ran around. Those who wanted to get a share of the pie also stayed away.
"We are from Beihan Immortal Palace! Just wait! You can't run away!"
Those who ran away shouted from a distance, Xu Mu frowned slightly and said nothing.
Catching mist birds has been a tradition for hundreds of years, and certain rules must have been formed. Xu Mu's intervention would definitely offend the local forces, but he didn't expect it to be Beihan Immortal Palace again.
However, Beihan Immortal Palace is the most powerful in the Northern Territory, so it seems normal to offend them.
Xu Mu didn't pay too much attention. Anyway, his body was outside. Unless Nascent Soul took action, he had nothing to fear.
Although the mist bird is precious, it is not worth taking action at the Nascent Soul stage.
After setting up the formation trap, Xu Mu sat cross-legged and began to wait patiently.
Two days later, Xu Mu suddenly opened his eyes and looked up into the distance.
A flock of white birds flew from the distant sky, so densely packed that they could not be counted.
"coming!"
I don't know who said it, and everyone began to take out their own baits.
