Chapter 19: Chen Hu
The Hunter's Guild has always been the busiest place in every city.
Luo Xiu came here with a hat.
Many warriors have some quirks, or have some unknown purpose, which hides their faces. There are many such people in the lobby of the Hunter's Guild, so no one pays attention to Luo Xiu.
Most hunters have been away for a long time. After so many days, Luo Xiu came here again only to see a few familiar faces.
With a one-star hunter badge on his chest, he walked straight to the counter.
"Hello, hunter, what can I do for you?" Jiang Shanshan, who was named the first beauty of the Qingyun City Hunters' Guild, asked with a smile.
"I want to inquire about places near Qingyun City that are suitable for body-refining nine-fold hunting." Luo Xiu asked.
Jiang Shanshan frowned slightly. For some reason, the voice of this man with a hat sounded familiar, and there seemed to be a hint of... immature?
But Jiang Shanshan didn't think much, and smiled and said: "If you want to buy a hunting map, you need a thousand taels of silver."
"Give me a copy." Luo Xiu directly took out the silver ticket and placed it on the counter.
If it were before, one thousand taels was an astronomical wealth for him, but now it is not worth mentioning.
You can easily earn tens of thousands of taels by hunting a monster beast of the first class casually.
Jiang Shanshan naturally didn't think that the man in front of him with the hat was the young man who had teased him some time ago.
For a thousand taels of silver, Luo Xiu obtained a map. The map included the area centered on Qingyun City and the areas suitable for hunting were also marked.
Among them, the yellow area is suitable for body refining below eighth, and Shuiwu Mountain is among them.
The red area is relatively dangerous, and it is usually led by martial artists in the air and sea realm before daring to enter.
But the most dangerous is the area covered by black, even those high innate martial artists in Qingyun City can't easily go deep.
"Baqi Mountain, most of the first-level monsters, there will be second-level monsters in the deep, red area."
Soon, Luo Xiu locked an area suitable for him, as long as it was not too deep, it was enough to ensure his safety.
"Shanshan, bring me six glasses of shochu!"
At this moment, a burly man wearing black armor and an eight-foot tall man strode forward and shouted boldly.
Behind this burly man, there were five people who followed, each of whom was in the dust, his clothes and armor were slightly damaged, and he looked very tired.
However, Luo Xiu noticed that although these six people were tired, their eyes were filled with excitement that could not be concealed.
Soon, six cups of shochu wine were served. The wine was so strong that it burned into the throat, so it got its name. Many hunters who wandered between life and death and licked their blood loved the potency of this wine.

"Zhou Long, it looks like a good harvest." Jiang Shanshan asked with a smile.
This group of hunters was Zhou Long and others whom Luo Xiu knew. Guo Ang and the twin sisters surnamed Ji were also among them. In addition, there were two unfamiliar faces, who should be new hunters who joined the team.
"Haha, that's natural, but this time I got a big guy!" Zhou Long smiled openly, and six low-grade vitality stones appeared directly in his hand and placed them on the counter.
Luo Xiu narrowed his eyes and noticed the silver bracer worn on Zhou Long's wrist. This is a second-order array device called a storage wristband. It contains a space for storing items.
However, this second-order formation device is very expensive, with a minimum of 500 low-grade vitality stones, and Luo Xiu can only be greedy.
From the dialogue between Zhou Long and Jiang Shanshan, Luo Xiu learned that Zhou Long led the team into Baqi Mountain this time and hunted down a second-level monster Unicorn White Rhinoceros. This monster has thick skin and is hard to damage with swords. .
Even if Zhou Long was a martial artist in the air and sea realm, a group of people took a lot of means to hunt down such a head.
The value of a single-horned white rhinoceros is about four hundred low-grade vitality stones. This price makes Luo Xiu stunned.
In Qingyun City, the things that can really go on the table are not measured by silver and gold, but by the vitality stone.
Only ordinary items will be traded in gold and silver.
At the same time, Luo Xiu also learned that the materials obtained by hunting monsters can be sold to the hunter's guild. The price is absolutely fair and will not make the hunter suffer. Therefore, many hunters are also willing to sell things to the guild.
Putting the map away, Luo Xiu didn't stay here, and left the Hunter's Guild directly.
According to the marks on the map, Baqi Mountain is farther from Qingyun City than Shuiwu Mountain, and it takes more than half a day to arrive by horseback riding.
I bought the spirit gathering formation device for more than 30,000 taels of silver back then, plus the vitality stone and the pill of nourishing energy. There is not much left. Luo Xiu gritted his teeth and spent another one thousand taels of silver to buy a horse. Become a pauper again.
"I can't bear to let the child not find a wolf, although the money is spent, but it can make more!"
In this way, with one person, one sword, and one yellow-maned horse, Luo Xiu left Qingyun City and went straight to the location of Baqi Mountain.
Near Baqi Mountain, there is a village the size of a stronghold. When the warriors who have entered the mountain to hunt and need various supplies and rest, they will come here.
After half a day, Luo Xiu came to the Baqi Mountain stronghold.
There are a lot of people here, and people who practice martial arts come and go, and there are also many merchants stationed here, buying various materials and treasures from the hands of warriors.
There is a special place to store horses in the stronghold, which requires a dozen silver dollars a day.
"Ok?"
Luo Xiu had just deposited his horses and suddenly saw a slightly familiar figure, the same Yuan Dashan that he encountered when hunting the Iron-tailed Tiger Demon in Shuiwu Mountain not long ago.
However, the people around Yuan Dashan have changed. It should be that after Wang Yun and Zhang Hun died, his hunting team also disbanded and joined another team.
Yuan Dashan didn't notice Luo Xiu. Even if he did, Luo Xiu was wearing a hat, he couldn't recognize it.
At this moment, the person who seemed to be the leader of Yuan Dashan's team suddenly looked towards Luo Xiu, with a meaningful smile on his mouth.
This is a tall middle-aged man with an iron gun on his back, wearing light armor, and a fierce anger between his brows.
Under the shadow covered by the hat, Luo Xiu frowned. He didn't know this person and didn't understand the other party's intentions.
"Brothers, that kid is our goal this time. The Zhang family issued five hundred low-grade vitality stones to kill him." The light armored man whispered.
"Brother, what's the background of this kid, let Zhang Family spend so many kinds of Qi Stones to ask us to do it?" Yuan Dashan asked quietly.
The light-armored man curled his lips, "It's just a commoner boy. I heard that the son of Patriarch Zhang was abolished, but these things have nothing to do with us, just kill people for money!"
Speaking of this, the man in light armor stared at Yuan Dashan, and said solemnly: "This kid is a student of the martial arts hall. Once the wind leaks, we will be chased by the martial arts hall. You just joined in, but you are also an old man in this line. , The rules dont need me to tell you again, right?"
Hearing this, Yuan Dashan couldnt help but chuckle. Wudian cultivates young people and naturally protects students. Therefore, even if there is a great hatred in Wudian, once you start to kill, then no matter what your background is. It's all a dead end.
However, if the Wudian student was killed or injured outside, Wudian would not interfere, but if the Wudian learned that it was an intentional murder, then it would be equivalent to breaking the rules and would be chased by Wudian.
Qingyun City Martial Hall was founded more than 800 years ago, and many similar incidents have occurred. The families with a lot of background have even been uprooted, full of copies!
"Brother don't worry, I understand the rules." Yuan Dashan said quickly. He knew very well that since he had boarded Chen Hu's boat, he had no retreat.
Chen Hu is the leader of this team, a martial artist in the air and sea realm!
In the area of Baqi Mountain, the teams of martial artists in the Qi and Sea realm are all top hunting teams. A martial arts student in the physical refining realm is targeted, and there is only a dead end.
...
Luo Xiu didn't know that he had been targeted. After all, he was a fourteen-year-old boy. He was too immature in terms of experience and experience, thinking that he would not be recognized by others with a hat.
In fact, as early as when he came out of the martial hall, the people of the Zhang family had already secretly followed.
"Roar!"
The roar of beasts was heard from time to time in the jungle of Baqi Mountain. Luo Xiu's figure shuttled through the forest. In his perception, the number of monsters in this mountain forest was scary.
During the period of hunting experience in Shuiwu Mountain, sometimes it may not be possible to encounter a monster beast for several days, but here, in Luo Xiu's perception alone, there are more than twenty monster beasts.
This is the outskirts of Baqi Mountain. Generally, there will be no second-level monsters, but they are also first-level monsters, and their strengths are not small. Some powerful first-level monsters can even leapfrog the second-level monsters. .
Based on the sense of life breath, Luo Xiu can roughly determine the strength of each monster beast. In the end, he locked a breath of life, which is roughly equivalent to the iron-tailed tiger monster killed by Shuiwu Mountain, comparable to the nine body refinement.
However, when Luo Xiu killed the Irontail Tiger Monster, he relied on a means that could directly damage his life line. If he only relied on his personal strength to fight, Luo Xiu could not be an opponent of the Irontail Tiger Monster.
However, now his cultivation level has been promoted to the seventh level of body refining, and he has practiced pure Yang Gong, his strength has greatly increased, so he wanted to find a monster to try.
"Snapped!"
With the soles of his feet stomping on the trunk lightly, Luo Xiu jumped up and hurried towards the target position he had locked.
Luo Xiu has long been used to the environment of the mountains and forests. He moved quickly like a leopard, and soon came near the destination, hidden behind a bush, and squinted.
This is a wolf beast, but its body is not hair, but black scale armor, shining a cold luster under the dim light of the woods.
The black armored wolf, the leader among the first-level monster beasts, is far more powerful than the iron-backed monster wolf in the hunter assessment.
At this moment, this black wolf is pressing a **** prey under its claws, biting and devouring it.
"The black armored wolf is good at speed and sharp claws. Take it as my first training partner in Baqi Mountain!"
After thinking about it, Luo Xiu's back arched slightly, and with a swish, he rushed out of the bushes.
"Wow!"
The black-clad wolf raised his head and screamed, a pair of scarlet and ruthless eyes locked on the human figure that was flying towards him.
Suddenly, the black armored wolf flew toward Luo Xiu, so fast that it even faintly brought afterimages in the air, especially the pair of claws that suddenly popped out, like a sharp knife, flashing sharp cold light.
Luo Xiu didn't dare to resist head-on, and quickly dodged to the side. At the same time, he suddenly shot, using Dragon Tiger Fist and Tiger Style, attacking the black armored wolf who was unable to dodge in the air.
But at this moment...
"Wow!"
A cold light quickly crossed towards Luo Xiu's neck.
"Fast speed!" Luo Xiu quickly dodged with his great footwork. The black wolf was unable to dodge in the air, but he waved his claws too fast.
"Tenglong style!"
Luo Xiu immediately changed his move, and with a ferocious blow, it landed on the black wolf and rolled it out.
Luo Xiu did not use the means to damage his life veins in this blow. Even so, if a warrior was hit, his bones would be broken and he would fall to the ground, but the black wolf was unscathed.
"What a hard scale armor!" Luo Xiu snorted and drew out the long sword behind him.
Although he has never practiced sword martial arts, if he is blessed with inner Qi, his attack power will naturally be far better than his fist.
Seeing the black-clad wolf pounce again fiercely, Luo Xiu continued to dodge with his great footwork. The long sword blessed by his inner Qi constantly collided with the wolf claws, and his sonorous voice echoed in the forest.
The black armored wolf roared, its claws embedded in the soil, and it suddenly flew like an arrow from the string.
Feeling the fishy wind rushing towards him, Luo Xiu's mouth sneered. After the test of the fight just now, he probably has figured out the moves of this beast.
After all, monsters are monsters. Although they are smarter than wild beasts, they still rely on primitive instincts to fight against them.
Luo Xiu's legs were bent, and his whole body was almost close to the ground. The moment the black wolf pounced over him, the Qingfeng sword in his hand suddenly attacked and pierced the black wolf's neck.
"Hey!"
The Qingfeng Sword blessed by the inner Qi has strong penetrating power, hot blood gushing out, the black armored wolf fell three meters away, thumped and fell to the ground with a thump, and the breath of life continued to weaken.
The scarlet blood kept flowing, and it soon stained the soil near the red wolf carcass.
This is the advantage of the weapon. Without this Qingfeng Sword, Luo Xiu wanted to kill this black wolf with his fist, but he didn't know how much effort he could do.
The Qingfeng Sword is just an ordinary weapon. If it is a war soldier, even a low-rank war sword, it can easily kill a first-level monster without the blessing of internal energy.
The most valuable parts of the black wolf are the claws and fangs. The black scale armor can also be sold, but the collection is too troublesome, so Luo Xiu gave up directly.
Putting the collected materials into the package, Luo Xiu frowned suddenly, because in his perception, there were a few breaths of human warriors, showing a fan shape approaching his location, like an encirclement.
In fact, Luo Xiu discovered these people as early as when he entered Baqi Mountain, but there are many warriors hunting and practicing in Baqi Mountain, so he didn't care.
But the breath of these people has been hovering nearby, and approaching his side in the form of encirclement, which made him have to doubt.
