Chapter 240 Monster Hunting
Lin Mu was stunned in the spot, feeling embarrassed.
Shitou was busy helping him out, hugged Gu Chen and said with a smile: "This is not difficult, come on, I will catch some fish for you. There is a kind of cold fog fish in this fog lake, which contains rich spiritual energy. If it is made into fish soup, it will be very nourishing!"
Lin Mu also reacted immediately and walked forward with a smile.
The other 49 disciples saw Lin Mu coming and knew that Gu Chen had reported the matter to the master. All of them smiled brightly on their weak faces.
Lin Mu looked at the disciples' smiles and felt even more apologetic.
He hurriedly took the lead and flew to the fog lake.
In the fog lake, white fog floated on the water from time to time, and the lake water was clear and slightly cold.
Lin Mu didn't care about these at the moment, he jumped and plunged into the water.
His body was as agile as a fish, and he immediately sank to the bottom of the lake.
There are many fish in the Mist Lake, but most of them are ordinary fish. Only a few species of fish have spiritual energy in their bodies.
In Shitou's words, these fish with spiritual energy can be boiled into fish soup, which is very nutritious!
Lin Mu kept swimming in the water and suddenly found a fat fish in front of him.
It was the cold fog fish!
Lin Mu hurriedly pinched his hands, and a spiritual shield suddenly appeared, covering the big fish.
Then Lin Mu swam to the side of the shield, lifted the shield, and swam to the surface of the water.
Lin Mu's figure appeared on the water surface, holding a spiritual shield in his hand. The passport was full of lake water. A medium-sized fish weighing two or three pounds was still swimming in the water of the shield.
Shitou hurriedly flew up with his sword and flew back to the shore with the shield.
The big fish was not hurt in the shield, so the spiritual energy in its body would naturally not be lost. Boiled into fish soup, it tasted even more delicious.
Lin Mu then hid in the water again, and after a while, he swam to the surface again with a shield. In the shield, a cold fog fish swam back and forth leisurely.
After repeating this for hundreds of times, Lin Mu caught hundreds of fresh and plump cold fog fish.
The fifty Qi Refining disciples were so hungry that they were dizzy. Lin Mu and Shitou turned into smart chefs at this moment. They quickly scaled and cleaned the cold fog fish, and then threw them into the big pot. Lin Mu performed the "Red Fire Art", and the four-leaf fire lotus kept burning at the bottom of the pot.
After a while, a tempting fish fragrance wafted out of the pot, and Lin Mu and Shitou were also very hungry.
A pot of fish soup was freshly cooked!
The disciples all brought bowls and chopsticks, and Lin Mu served each of them a cold fog fish, weighing about two or three pounds.
Many people were full after eating only one, and they were so full that they were panicking.
There were also some disciples who were extremely hungry, but they could only eat two at most, and their stomachs were full.
What surprised Lin Mu the most was Shi Jian, who ate twelve fish by himself!
Lin Mu really couldn't imagine how he could hold so many.
Physical cultivators are indeed extraordinary, with much more physical strength than ordinary people, and their appetite is ten times that of ordinary people.
Compared with ordinary cultivators, they have a greater demand for food!
Lin Mu remembered that Shi Jian had cultivated fifty acres of spiritual fields by himself before, and the consumption was much more than that of other disciples. He had not eaten for ten days, and ordinary people would at most lose some weight, but it was not a big deal. But he was different. He relied entirely on his body. If he was a little thinner, his strength would be reduced, and his cultivation would regress.
Lin Mu felt very sorry, until he urged his disciples to finish eating nearly a hundred cold fog fish, and they were all so full that they were panicking, and then he smiled slightly.
Looking at the big pot with not even fish soup left, Lin Mu turned to Shitou and smiled, "Are you hungry? How about I go catch two more?"
Shitou shook his head and smiled, "I'm not hungry."
Lin Mu smiled, "I'm not hungry either."
The two smiled at each other.
The disciples were hungry, so Lin Mu fooled them with this meal.
But Lin Mu knew that he would not be able to do this often in the future. He needed to build a small spiritual dining hall on the island in the middle of the lake, just like Qianyu Sword Sect, to provide food and drink for the disciples. The spiritual fields on the island were tight, so naturally, food and spiritual grains could not be grown here. Lin Mu planned to buy them from outside, which would inevitably require additional expenses.
Lin Mu was now so poor that he only had a set of top-grade magic tools, and spiritual stones were extremely scarce.
Where did this cost come from?
He still owed Gu Yun 600,000 low-grade spiritual stones, and the pressure was always there.
Shitou thought for Lin Mu and suggested, "How about we go monster hunting?"
Lin Mu hesitated for a moment and nodded, "This is the only way for now. Monster hunting is risky, but with our current strength, as long as we act carefully and don't provoke those level 7 monsters, there will be no danger in the Misty Forest."
Level 7 monsters are as powerful as those of early Jindan cultivators, so they are naturally not something that Lin Mu and Shitou can handle.
But just like cultivators, level 7 monsters are also a minority in the Misty Forest. Most of them cultivate in the depths of the Misty Forest and rarely come out on weekdays.
But once they come out, it will be a disaster. Few cultivators can escape from their mouths, and they all become food for monsters.
This is also the reason why Lin Mu is unwilling to go monster hunting. Although he has the Xuanyue Pei, he is unwilling to take this risk.
Now for the spirit stone, he has to wade into this muddy water.
Having made up his mind, Lin Mu is ready to leave immediately.
After returning to the cabin and setting up the ban, Lin Mu flashed into the Xuanyue Space and told his parents about his feelings.
Lin's father and mother naturally had no objection to this, but only advised Lin Mu to be careful.
Lin Mu agreed with a smile, and with a thought, the three of them appeared in the cabin.
Lin Mu said goodbye to his parents, left the cabin, called Shitou, and the two hurried away.
After leaving the Fog Lake, the two of them fled as fast as a rainbow and headed straight for the Misty Forest.
A journey of a thousand miles, at the current speed of the two, they can easily arrive in two or three hours.
Looking at the white misty forest in front of them, Lin Mu and Shitou did not hesitate and plunged into the mist.
The two of them walked through the mist, slowing down their speed and searching slowly.
Nowadays, monster hunting is popular, and monsters are almost extinct outside the Misty Forest.
Lin Mu and Shitou went deeper and deeper, and from time to time they could see one or two first-level monsters running past in a panic.
Sometimes, you can even see seven or eight Qi Refining cultivators surrounding a first-level monster and attacking it.
After killing the monster, because of the uneven distribution, the cultivators fought again, and the battle was extremely tragic and bloody. No one was injured when the monster was killed, but when the spoils were divided, three people died and four were seriously injured.
Such scenes kept happening in the Misty Forest and were no longer uncommon.
Lin Mu and Shitou went seven miles deep into the mist and finally found something!
In a valley, the two met a wolf pack, which was exactly the blood wolf they had seen before.
There were more than a hundred blood wolves, about a hundred of which were third-level monsters, and the remaining more than ten were all fourth-level monsters.
Lin Mu and Shitou's eyes suddenly lit up.
For a third-level monster, each monster's inner elixir was about 500 low-grade spirit stones.
Hundreds of third-level blood wolves were 50,000 low-grade spirit stones!
The price of the inner core of a fourth-level monster is ten times that of a third-level monster, and each inner core is at least five thousand low-grade spirit stones.
More than ten fourth-level monsters can also be sold for sixty to seventy thousand low-grade spirit stones.
If the monster materials and fur are added, Lin Mu can earn at least one hundred and fifty thousand by killing this group of blood wolves!
Such a good thing, Lin Mu will naturally not let it go. After discussing with Shitou, the two began to attack.
Shitou manipulated the Golden Shadow Sword and attacked the fourth-level blood wolf directly.
In his opinion, the income from killing these more than ten fourth-level blood wolves can exceed that of the hundreds of third-level blood wolves.
The Golden Shadow Sword was extremely sharp and suddenly appeared beside a blood wolf.
The blood wolf was immediately startled and dodged, but the Golden Shadow Sword was so fast that Shitou's mind moved, a sharp golden light flashed, a burst of bright red blood sprayed, and the fourth-level blood wolf died instantly.
The level 4 blood wolf's cultivation was equivalent to that of the early stage of Lingji, but now in the hands of Shitou, it had no power to resist and was slaughtered at will.
Lin Mu was not slow either. The Five Elements Ring flew out with a whistling sound and headed straight for the wolf pack.
The five-colored light flowed, and wherever the Five Elements Ring passed, a group of level 3 blood wolves fell to the ground.
Lin Mu did not use the Zhongsun Fire. These monster materials can also sell a lot of spirit stones. If the Zhongsun Fire was used, the level 3 monsters would turn into ashes except for the inner elixir and the fur on their bodies, leaving nothing behind.
Lin Mu would naturally not make things difficult for Lingshi. Although the attack power of the Five Elements Ring was not as sharp as the Golden Shadow Sword, it was also extremely fast in killing the level 3 blood wolves.
One by one, the blood wolves died under Lin Mu's Five Elements Ring and Shitou's Golden Shadow Sword before they could react.
At first, the leader of the blood wolves even tried to gather the wolf pack and launch a counterattack.
But Shitou saw through it. When it howled, the Golden Shadow Sword fell from the sky and cut it in two.
The wolf pack's counterattack was aborted before it started.
In front of the two people, this group of blood wolves posed no threat.
Then the wolf pack saw that the enemy was too powerful, so they prepared to flee in all directions.
But how could their speed compare with Lin Mu and Shitou? After Lin Mu sacrificed the top-grade cloud-stepping boots, his speed was more than ten times faster than that of the blood wolf. Any blood wolf that tried to escape was killed by Lin Mu's five-element ring before it could run two steps.
More than ten level four blood wolves were also killed by Shitou's sword.
This was a massacre! Clean and neat!
In just half an hour, more than a hundred blood wolves were all killed.
The blood was everywhere, and the ground was full of blood.
Lin Mu called Shitou, and the two of them landed and went to collect the inner elixir, materials, and fur of the monsters.
But at this moment, Lin Mu was suddenly startled.
The sword light flashed behind him, and six figures flew quickly, standing in the air, looking at this bloody scene.
Lin Mu secretly informed Shitou, turned around suddenly, and looked at the six people in the air, with a face full of vigilance.
The six people were all spiritual Silence cultivators, two in the early stage of spiritual Silence, three in the middle stage of spiritual Silence, and one in the late stage of spiritual Silence. Their strength should not be underestimated.
The six people were also hunting monsters in the misty forest. Hearing the constant howling here and seeing the golden sword light flashing, they knew that someone was hunting monsters here. The six people ran here with the idea of picking up the bargain.
But the scene in front of them also made the six people secretly frightened.
The ground was covered with blood, and it was extremely tragic.
Hundreds of level 3 monsters and more than ten level 4 monsters all died in the hands of the two foundation-building cultivators in front of them!
The two foundation-building cultivators killed so many monsters without any injuries, not even a trace of wounds on their bodies.
Such powerful strength was unheard of by the six people!
The six people hesitated for a while, wondering whether to take action.
With so many blood wolves, even if six people attacked together, they could not guarantee that they would not be injured.
The leader, the late-stage spiritual solitude cultivator, weighed their strengths and realized that his side was not at an advantage at all.
These two people were not ordinary cultivators at all. Not only were they extremely powerful, but their identities and backgrounds were certainly not weak. If they acted rashly, their side might suffer a great loss, and it would not be surprising that someone would die.
Lin Mu and Shitou stood side by side, looking at the six people coldly.
Lin Mu had made up his mind. If the six people left quietly, it would be fine. If the six people dared to rob and kill people for treasures, he would not mind sending the six people on their way.
Killing people for treasures must pay a price!
Although Lin Mu was not a bad person, he would not allow others to bully him.
The leading late-stage spiritual cultivator hesitated for a moment, then suddenly clasped his fists to Lin Mu with a slightly respectful look, and then left with the five people.
Lin Mu and Shitou breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.
Shitou understood that the six people had made the most correct decision.
Otherwise, there would be more than a hundred blood wolves lying on the ground!
