Chapter 42 Meeting Again
[Occupation: Mountain God (Black Wind Mountain)]
[Divinity: Not in the flow (4/10000)]
[Skill: Searching mountains and subduing demons]
[Progress: Getting Started (5/800)]
[Hunting Beast: Young Eagle (Mutated Bald Eagle)]
[Progress: Infancy (550/800)]
[Effect: Flying, Eagle Eye]
[Eagle Eyes: As a natural hunter, the bald eagle has extremely strong vision and can clearly see moving prey at high speeds. Affected by the environment, the visual range is 3,000 to 30,000 meters; with concentrated vision , can see clearly the little bugs crawling on the green leaves a hundred meters away. As a mountain god who controls hunting beasts, you will also receive part of the 'Eagle Eye' vision bonus. The bonus effect is affected by the growth progress and fitness of the mutant bald eagle. 】
On the jade tablet, lines of text appeared.
In fact, there is no need to look at the effect displayed on the jade tablet. When Zhou Qing accepted the young eagle as a hunting beast, he noticed changes in his eyes.
Because he could see the texture and subtle cracks in the wood on the walls of Jamsil.
You can also see the crawling ants in the yard more than ten meters away, and how their tentacles swing.
Zhou Qing walked to the yard and looked towards the end of Xin'an Lane.
"It's Uncle Liang and Liang Chao."
Without anything blocking him, Zhou Qing could focus and see the figure and face of the person talking a few hundred meters away.
The visitors were the Liang family father and son from next door.
When the two of them were talking, the movements of their lips were clearly visible.
"The value of this eagle eye is too great."
Zhou Qing was shocked.
If he learns lip reading, wouldn't it be possible to "eavesdrop" on other people's conversations thousands of meters away?
Zhou Qing returned to the silkworm room and picked up the young eagle that was struggling to swallow the mutton.
"Eagle, eagle! You are such a treasure!"
As if sensing Zhou Qing's joy, Young Eagle also rubbed his cheek affectionately with her head, as if she completely regarded him as a family member.
"Come, eat well and grow up quickly."
Zhou Qing put down the young eagle, cut the mutton and beef into thin strips with a knife, and fed it piece by piece.
The young eagle has a good appetite and seems to no longer be immersed in the pain of the death of its loved ones.
"It's really delicious."
Seeing that the two kilograms of raw meat were quickly eaten by the young eagle, Zhou Qing was so happy that he couldn't help but be speechless.
When the young eagle is young, it has no ability to hunt on its own. Just two or three pounds of raw meat a day is a big expense.
Just buying meat for it costs one tael of silver every month.
As for hunting in the mountains, you can't catch prey every day.
Pheasants, hares and the like are much harder to find than poisonous insects.
However, this expense is nothing compared to the powerful abilities brought by the young eagle.
The more the eaglets can eat, the better.
When it grows up, it can hunt and be self-sufficient.
"In a while, you will have money when you go to the county seat."
Zhou Qing thought to himself.
Looking at the young eagle showing affection towards him, Zhou Qing suddenly remembered.
"I haven't given you a name yet. What name should I give you?"
Young Eagle tilted her head and looked at Zhou Qing, as if she didn't understand.
"Your mother's name is Xiao Hei, so I can't give you a name like Xiao Bai. It's really not domineering enough."
Zhou Qing pondered.
"What if I become a well-known figure in the Hundred Thousand Mountains in the future, and you also become the king of this sky? Just scream out, and your momentum will be released instantly."
"Chiji~" the young eagle cried out, as if he could feel Zhou Qing's thoughts and felt that this name was not good.
"Why don't you call me Kuangbiao? Isn't it very domineering?"
The young eagle tilted its head and didn't react much.
"Kuanbiao's domineering spirit is there, but the connotation seems to be missing a bit." Zhou Qing paused.
"Yes!"
"Tiger Eagle!"
"The tiger roars and the smoke and dust shock the world, and the eagle soars across the sky and soars into the clouds. This is used to describe the ancient ferocious beast Qiongqi. I hope that one day you can be on par with Qiongqi, or even surpass Qiongqi."
Zhou Qing clapped his hands and decided on the name of the young eagle.
"Jiji!"
Feeling Zhou Qing's excitement, Young Eagle was also a little excited.
Obviously, it cares more about Zhou Qing's feelings than the name itself.
The tiger eagle flapped its wings, ready to fly.
Seeing this, Zhou Qing squatted down and caught it with his arms.
"Is there still a need for a hound?"
Zhou Qing looked at Huying, who was standing on his arm with his head tilted, and an idea flashed in his mind.
He possesses the priesthood of Mountain God and has awakened the skill of "Searching Mountains and Conquering Demons".
Holding the yellow on the left, holding the blue sky on the right, searching the mountains to subdue the demons, cutting the dragons to control the floods, carrying the mountains to chase the sun.
Isn't this Erlang Xianshengzhenjun in myths and legends?
"Let's talk about it when we have a chance."
Zhou Qing came back to his senses and realized that even if he could really become the mountain god who could control the entire Hundred Thousand Mountains, he would still be far from the level of Erlang Xiansheng True Monarch.
What's more, instead of the unattainable wish of becoming an immortal, what he should be thinking about now is when he can break through the bone refining realm and become a great figure like a martial artist.
"This time I must buy the inner strength and mental method."
Zhou Qing came to his senses.
Seven days later.
A convoy of fifteen people appeared neatly outside Black Mountain Town.
Each of these men was dressed in black short-fighting uniforms. They were tall and muscular, and carried standard long knives on their waists.
When they gather together, their aura alone makes passers-by stay away.
It was the escorts from Ziyang Escort Agency.
After a while, people came to the back of the convoy one after another.
Some are employers who follow the escorts, and some follow the team for personal safety.
Regardless of the purpose, anyone who goes with the escort agency is considered a "personal escort" and has to pay money.
For example, Zhou Qing and She Wu, who had just arrived, both paid money for "personal escorts".
However, they are both "personal bodyguards", but the prices are different.
A first-level warrior like Zhou Qing who has broken the skin barrier can travel with him for just one coin.
Because most of the bodyguards in the team are at this level, a few bodyguards are just on the verge of breaking through and can only be considered ordinary people with strong bodies.
Only two of the escort leaders were second-level warriors who had broken through the physical barrier.
However, these two people are both at the peak of meat-refining, warriors who have almost entered the realm of muscle-refining, and have a certain reputation in the town.
These people have been cooperating for many years. Once they encounter the enemy, they will unite in formation and cooperate with long swords, bows and arrows. Even the muscle-training warriors cannot defeat them.
Even the most down-and-out muscle-training warrior would not consider becoming a bandit. Unless he was a serious criminal wanted by the court and was really desperate and no force dared to take him in, he would consider becoming a bandit.
Therefore, what most escort agencies have to face are basically refugee forces and some small-scale bandit forces.
Ordinary people like She Wu would have to charge five coins.
The reason why ordinary people are charged so much money is because warriors like Zhou Qing can run away on their own if the situation is bad.
As for ordinary people like She Wu, when the escort agency encounters danger, they need to do their best to protect them, and they may even pay the price with their lives.
For the sake of the reputation of the escort agency, the escorts will not give up any customer easily.
Their families and children are all under the protection of the escort agency. Once the escort agency fails, everyone will be unlucky.
"Huh? Is it them?"
Zhou Qing and She Wu stood at the back of the team, just as the team was about to set off.
A man and a woman galloped over on tall horses and stopped at the side of the team.
The man was in his early twenties, wearing a green Taoist robe. He had a rosy complexion, a plump sky, and a round pavilion. He was clearly the Lu Yan he met on the mountain last time.
The pretty girl riding the horse next to him is Lu Yan's cousin Han Qingqing.
"It seems this trip will be safe." Zhou Qing nodded secretly.
Although it is not clear what the strength of these two people is, Qingcheng Mountain Fulong Temple is very famous in this area.
"Boss Li, Captain Sun has been waiting for a long time. Junior sister and I were delayed for a while because of something. Please forgive me." Lu Yan sat on the horse and saluted with his fists clasped.
"Young Master Lu is serious, we have just arrived."
Facing Lu Yan, who was less than half his age, the two bodyguards were extremely polite and did not dare to make any excuses.
"Set off!"
After confirming that everyone had arrived, Li Biaotou, who had a long beard, signaled loudly.
The team set off, heading east along the official road.
