Chapter 1540 Hunting
Then everyone was asked to check their equipment, and with the last order, the twenty-one people set off.
The middle part of the road is a plain with no high mountains. Even if there are some forests, they can't hide large spirit beasts at all, so Elder Gong and his team chose the destination at the junction of the middle and southern parts. This place is not far from the Demon Wind Ridge where Chen Xuan was kidnapped by Greedy Wolf last time, only one way away. However, it will take Chen Xuan and his team five or six days to get there now, because the cultivation of this group of people is basically uneven, and they can only try their best to take care of the weak.
Passing through some forests along the way, some low-level beasts can also be hunted, but the highest cultivation of these beasts is only equivalent to Chen Xuan's realm. For the Shenxinmen group, there is no point in hunting.
At the beginning, some people hunted happily, but later they simply turned a blind eye. Because everyone found that from time to time, some cultivators would rush past them, and it seemed that their destination was also the forest they chose.
Most of these cultivators were in groups of three or five, and the largest team had as many as fifteen people.
Seeing this situation, Elder Gong and Senior Brother Qi began to worry and ordered the disciples of Shenxin Sect to speed up. Chen Xuan, who was originally full of ambition, was a little behind at this time.
Although Chen Xuan only had the fifth level of Qi Refining, he was not the last one to catch up. He found that almost all the disciples below the seventh level of Qi Refining were exhausted and panting, and were only more tired than himself. Even the seventh-level disciples had some performances worse than themselves. This inevitably increased Chen Xuan's self-confidence a lot, and also surprised Elder Gong and Senior Brother Qi.
Although Chen Xuan also brought a space ring this time, this ring could not be shown to others at all. He could only pack another bag, which contained one or two pieces of clothes and a sword. The main thing was the sword, which had to be hung outside, otherwise when he encountered the beast tribe fighting, others would definitely want to know where his sword came from.
The sword was a bit heavy, but Chen Xuan didn't think it was a big burden. It is good to endure more suffering on the road of cultivation. Some people even deliberately tie a sandbag to do weight training? Doesn't "Twenty-Eight Beasts Body Refining Art" introduce many such methods?
When they first went out for three days, everyone brought their own food. Chen Xuan also pretended to take food from the bag, but in fact he secretly took food from the ring. After all, the space in the ring is airless and can better preserve food.
After three days, almost all the food was eaten up. Even if it was not finished, the smell was already very abnormal. At this time, everyone's eyes looked at Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan laughed and grabbed a handful of top-grade wood spirit crystals from the bag and handed them to Brother Qi, "Brother Qi, next, I promised to provide logistics, I will take out this money, and now it's your turn to arrange someone to purchase it."
Everyone looked at the top-grade wood spirit crystals in Brother Qi's hand, their eyes were shining, and they were envious!
Senior Brother Qi counted the top-grade wood spirit crystals in his hand, a total of 47, worth more than 2,000 spirit crystals. A large carriage was needed to buy food, and the food was the most exquisite and delicious.
"Okay, these two top-grade wood spirit crystals, Shi Quan and Jin Chuan will take them to the nearby town to purchase some food. Oh, and bring some water by the way." Senior Brother Qi handed them two top-grade wood spirit crystals. Later, because he had to bring water, he actually took out an ordinary spirit crystal from his pocket and added it.
Shi Quan and Jin Chuan curled their lips and secretly cursed Senior Brother Qi in their hearts.
At night, the two finally came back, and indeed brought a bunch of food. Senior Brother Qi asked the female disciples who were traveling with him to light a fire and heat up the food. Then everyone gathered together to enjoy the starlight dinner.
It was indeed quite lively when young people gathered together. On the contrary, the youngest Chen Xuan became a person that no one cared about. Chen Xuan was not angry either. He sat cross-legged next to everyone playing and began to practice the fourth level of mental power. This noisy environment is not easy to obtain. Chen Xuan had nothing to do anyway, so he took advantage of it.
After a while, many people set up tents and went in to rest. The noise of play in the night sky also stopped. Chen Xuan stopped his work and turned to circulate his spiritual energy to regulate his meridians and enter his own resting state.
Chen Xuan has been resting like this for the past three days, so the disciples who were traveling with him have become accustomed to it. However, at the beginning, Chen Xuan's behavior was absolutely novel. Why is Chen Xuan's bag so deflated? It turns out that he doesn't need to bring a tent. He can just find a place to sit down and meditate, which is equivalent to resting. This immediately caused several people to follow him and learn for a night. As a result, those Rong Er became panda eyes, which cut off their interest in continuing to learn. At least when they go out, imitating Chen Xuan is a thankless thing.
On the fourth evening, everyone finally arrived at the destination of this time-Black Wind Forest.
The Black Wind Forest is a primitive forest, a place rarely visited by people. As soon as everyone arrived at the entrance of the forest, they felt that the temperature seemed to have dropped by ten degrees, and they felt a chill all over their bodies. The forest was even darker and darker, with waves of black air floating around. Seeing this situation, even the most careless people had to be alert.
At noon, in the market town closest to the Black Wind Forest, Senior Brother Qi was no longer stingy, but took out thirty top-grade wood spirit crystals, purchased a large amount of food, and distributed it to the hands of each disciple for them to keep. This was at least enough food for these three people.
Everyone had no intention of entering the forest tonight, so they all prepared tents and bonfires outside. They waited for daylight, then rushed into the forest, and then happily slaughtered some orcs.
Elder Gong and three disciples also gathered together to plan their future actions. Quarrels broke out from time to time. This had nothing to do with Chen Xuan, he had already started practicing.
When the sun shone on everyone from the edge of the forest, everyone gently shook the dew off their bodies and took a deep breath of fresh air.
Senior Brother Qi ordered everyone to have breakfast, and then gathered everyone together to arrange their work.
Twenty disciples, in groups of two, and Elder Gong formed eleven groups, and entered the forest side by side. Each group was separated by half a mile to ensure that they could respond to each other. If you find an orc that you cannot handle, you will pass the information to the connected group, and then pass it inward from this group. Finally, five groups of people, including Elder Gong, will arrive together, and a total of thirteen people will deal with the beast. clan.
Senior Brother Qi also assigned a number to each group and specified a concise language for delivery.
After the explanation was clear, Senior Brother Qi directly put Chen Xuan and him into a group, and designated his group as number two. Originally, Senior Brother Qi, as the strongest disciple, should be divided into No. 1 or No. 11, and be placed on the two sides, but in order to protect Chen Xuan, he made his own decisions and became No. 2. After all, he can also be in the side group. Echoed.
Elder Gong is of course number six. He is in the center, ready to respond to both sides at any time.
The twenty-one members of the Shenxin Sect launched a net-like search of the Black Wind Forest. The length of this net was five miles. Once the orcs in this net were alerted and unable to escape, they would be besieged by everyone.
When Chen Xuan first entered the forest with Senior Brother Qi, he felt that the terrain was very flat, but it didn't take long before he discovered that mountains appeared in front of him. Chen Xuan knew that the real hiding place of the beast tribe was in the mountains, and Elder Gong and the others' plan was to go straight to the mountains.
Throughout the morning, there were shouts one after another in the mountains, causing birds to fly away in fright, and animals to flee in panic, but Chen Xuan did not find any decent beasts, let alone spiritual beasts.
The most numerous birds in the forest are actually some birds, and the most ferocious among the birds is the goshawk. The goshawk is a level 3 beast, one level higher than the wolf. Its strongest attack power is the hardness of its claws and the speed of its dive. It is basically the ruler of the sky in the Black Wind Forest.
However, the Goshawk's realm is equivalent to the fourth level of human mortal realm, and they will never dare to offend the more than 20 people from the God's Heart Sect now. And these people are helpless against the goshawk flying in the sky. Except for Elder Gong who can barely fly with a sword, the others in this team can only have fantasies about the things in the sky.
After half a day, everyone finally found the pattern. Wherever there are goshawks, there will definitely be no large orcs. Because when they killed several clouded leopards, they didn't find the goshawk circling in the sky. Everyone was very surprised and scolded those goshawks.
Chen Xuan and Senior Brother Qi didn't gain anything at all this morning. They found fresh excrement of the Gang Bear in the cave, but they couldn't find any trace of the Gang Bear. In another place, the hair of some brachiids can be seen everywhere, but it is just hair. Where are the brachiids?
All the beasts in the queue disappeared as if they knew someone was coming.
Could it be that the shouting alarmed them, and they fled after hearing the wind.
At noon, while taking advantage of the break, Senior Brother Qi and Elder Gong had a discussion and decided to change their strategy. They canceled the shouting of everyone and only allowed to make noises when they found that they could not cope with the situation. They also stipulated that everyone should meet once in a while. Inform each other of the situation.
After the order was issued, calm returned to the forest, and the birds in the trees no longer fled in panic, but the annoying goshawk continued to circle above everyone's heads.
After doing this, the effect was obvious. Chen Xuan saw many animals. They were all surprised when they saw Chen Xuan and Senior Brother Qi, but they did not run away desperately, but ran to a farther place. Keep them on the sidelines.
Chen Xuan and Senior Brother Qi have no intention of hunting animals. They are looking for high-level beasts, even spiritual beasts. Only when they find those orcs can they complete their search mission.
