Chapter 290 Hunting

Another new night has arrived.

Taoyuan City, which was bustling during the day, will be quieter at this moment, and some streets where mortals live will become quiet.

After reaching the realm of entering the Zang or the night travel realm, the cultivator's energy will be very strong, and he will not be tired until he does not rest for ten days or half a month.

However, even so, most of the acquired high-level Xuan cultivators will still be active during the day and rest at night.

Because the alternation of day and night is the law of heaven and earth, and hiding at night and coming out during the day is also a habit of human beings.

The cultivators pay attention to following the time of the day, so they often do things during the day and practice at night.

Of course, there are always exceptions. There are night owls among mortals, let alone Xuan cultivators.

Taoyuan City has a famous street called Taohua Street.

Whether mortals or Xuan cultivators, they all come here to look for peach blossoms, so it got this name.

Every night, Taohua Street is the busiest time, and it will not be until the second half of the night that it will be slightly deserted.

The Taoxian Festival is about to begin, and a large number of cultivators with strong consumption power have poured into the city, and Taohua Street is even more colorful and lively.

Tonight, several people slowly walked out of Yihong Courtyard, one of the largest brothels in Taohua Street.

(I didn't know that Yihong Courtyard was Jia Baoyu's residence until I watched the explanation of the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions" not long ago. It feels like Crouching Dragon and Phoenix meeting Zhuang Qiang and Da Congming, and the word is polluted. However, the Jia Mansion doesn't seem to be very clean either.)

"Brother! Watch your feet!"

The young monk supported a staggering adult monk.

The monk was drunk and his face was red. He pushed the monk away: "Get out of the way, brother, I'm not drunk! I'm the god of wine, how can I be drunk?"

He took a step and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, the monk came up in time.

The wine in Yihong Courtyard is not ordinary wine, but spiritual wine with spiritual medicine and spiritual herbs. No matter whether it is a warrior or a soul cultivator, they will feel weak after drinking a pot.

After getting drunk, it is easy to consume impulsively.

The young monk said, "Brother, you just drank and ate meat, that's not good."

The monk said, "What do you know? There is a saying that wine and meat pass through the intestines, but beauties... no, they stay in the Buddha's heart!"

The young monk said, "Then brother, what happened with the female donors..."

The monk said, "I was practicing the Happy Zen. Come back tomorrow, and I'll call a girl for you."

The young monk blushed, "No, no, brother, I don't practice the Happy Zen! I want to purify my six senses!"

The monk laughed, "Alas! If you don't dare to look at girls, it means that your six senses are not pure and you are attached to appearances! The more you want to purify your six senses, the more you want to look at girls."

The young monk said, "Really?"

The monk said, "How can it be false? This is what the master told me. So, in the temple, the master goes to the nunnery next door to see the nunnery owner every day."

"Uh..." The young monk felt vaguely that he had done something wrong with the Buddhist teachings he was practicing.

The two chatted and walked, and unknowingly came to a dark back alley with no one.

Suddenly, there was a faint sound of footsteps in front of him, and then he saw a figure in front of the alley, holding an exceptionally bright lantern.

The light was a bit dazzling, and the monk and the novice monk couldn't see the face clearly, so they covered their faces with their hands.

"Donor? What is that..."

The monk was about to ask, but found a huge black shadow swimming silently on the ground, and he vaguely saw the outline of wings.

Crack! Tear!

A strange sound came from the side, as if something was broken, and it was like cloth was torn.

Then the monk suddenly opened his eyes wide, and he saw a severed hand holding his right arm that had just been supported by his junior brother.

"Junior brother!"

He looked to the side, and there was no little novice monk, only a pool of broken flesh and blood on the ground.

Looking back again, he saw a huge beast shadow with a scissor-like mouth, swimming towards him quickly.

"Golden bell protects the body!" The monk quickly formed a seal and performed a Taoist spell, and a layer of translucent golden bell phantom appeared around his body in an instant.

This is his signature Taoist technique, with strong defense, and can withstand most ordinary Night Wandering Taoist techniques and third-grade flying swords, and even some attacks from the Zang Realm martial arts.

But he didn't know that he was facing a mechanical monster.

The huge beast shadow immediately swam in front of the monk's shadow and bit it with its big mouth.

The judgment result came out in an instant.

The result was: death!!!

Bang!

The monk's body broke into pieces and scattered into a pool of minced meat.

And the golden bell phantom quickly dissipated after losing the support of soul power.

Then the beast shadow swam forward, condensed at the feet of the lantern bearer, and turned into a shadow.

This lantern bearer was Gu Xia who came out to hunt souls. After seeing the two balls of soul power harvested by the shadow crocodile in the spirit platform, he quickly turned around and left.

The monk was a Night Wandering Soul Cultivator, and he might have a lot of wealth and magic tools on him, but Gu Xia gave up the explosion of equipment and turned around and left.

He didn't want to leave any traces. If anything was found out, he couldn't just leave Taoxian City.

To be on the safe side, Gu Xia didn't even have physical contact. After the Shadow Crocodile succeeded, he immediately evacuated.

Moreover, the monk used Taoism, not simply unfolding a soul force field. This intensity of soul force fluctuations would definitely attract the attention of Taoxian Mansion.

However, Gu Xia was familiar with the action patterns of patrol flying boats and Wuling Guards. He knew the number of the flying boat that was about to arrive, and which team of Wuling Guards was approaching.

He even knew which direction they would come from and how long it would take to arrive.

Gu Xia quickly and calmly shuttled through the streets and alleys. After an incense stick, he returned to the inn where he was staying temporarily. He didn't meet a Wuling Guard along the way, and there was no flying boat flying over his head.

"Huh!"

Lying on the bed, he let out a long breath, and his consciousness entered the spiritual platform to check today's harvest.

Shadow Crocodile harvested two soul powers tonight, one large and one small.

The large one came from the monk in the Night Wandering Realm, and the small one came from the novice monk in the Controlling Objects Realm.

Gu Xia gently touched the two soul powers with his mind tentacles, and the two soul powers gradually merged into his soul.

His number of thoughts also increased visibly.

It was a wonderful feeling, and Gu Xia could clearly feel that his soul was getting stronger.

Every time a soul cultivator was harvested, 2% of the target's soul power fragments could be dropped.

After Gu Xia reached the Night Wandering Realm, the number of thoughts reached 512. At this moment, the number of thoughts instantly increased by 11 to 523, of which 10 came from the monk and 1 from the novice monk.

The computing power of the stars also increased by 2%, and the time to upgrade the two skills was also reduced by a few days.

Seeing this, Gu Xia summarized tonight's actions.

"The shadow crocodile can harvest nine times a day, but for safety, I'd better only make one move every night.

The target is preferably a soul cultivator in the Night Wandering Realm, so that I can harvest enough soul fragments.

I have survived two disasters. Even if the Dharma image is not yet complete, my soul is stronger than most soul cultivators in the same realm. The soul-eating effect of the shadow crocodile can be easily judged as successful.

However, if it is the peak of the Night Wandering Realm, the shadow crocodile may only cause damage, but not kill.

In the future, I should try to find some weaker soul cultivators in the Night Wandering Realm."

Soon he planned the future hunting plan and expectations.
