Half-demon Raising Immortals

Chapter 17
Qianxue Mountain, next to a mountain spring.

A campfire casts a warm yellow light.

Lu Tong took a cold bath, applied wound medicine to the wound, and sat by the fire to rest.

Feeling the blazing warmth from the flames, I feel comfortable all over my body.

A pot of mushroom and bean curd soup was cooking on the fire, surrounded by tree branches, and a few plain pancakes were baked.

When Lu Tong came to Qianxue Mountain, he prepared a lot of dry food.

Dried mushrooms, dried tofu, vegetarian noodle cakes, meat pies, dried meat, dried salted fish...

But after moving the corpse for a day today, he really has no appetite to eat meat.

The surface of the noodles is burnt brown, exuding a tempting aroma of wheat.

Lu Tong pulled out the branch and tore off the burnt layer on the surface, and a white mist of hot air rose from the snow-white bread below.

Bite down, the surface layer is crispy in the mouth, and the mouth is full of burnt aroma after chewing twice.

This was not the most sumptuous meal he had eaten in this world, but it was the most satisfying one.

There was a sound of walking in the direction of the mountain spring.

Lu Tong smiled and said, "Si'er, come and eat cakes, I guarantee you have never eaten such delicious cakes."

A figure in white rushed to the fire in two steps, snatched a bread, turned around and jumped two feet away.

Lu Tong looked at the bare tree branches, then looked at the figure standing in the distance eating cakes, and said: "If you want to eat, you can talk about it. If you take it without telling, it's stealing. If you take it without permission, it's robbery. Are you a thief or a bandit?" ?”

The figure on the opposite side couldn't see his face clearly, he could only tell that he was very short.

The height is only a little over three feet, but the skill is very good, one step is one foot, and he should have practiced the lightness of the body.

"I'm not a thief!"

The little man seemed to be irritated and shouted loudly.

Lu Tong laughed, shook his head and said, "You stole my cake, and you still say you're not a thief?"

"Whoever has the ability to get the things in the world belongs to them! This cake got into my mouth, it's only because you can't keep it in check."

The little man's voice was high-pitched and immature, and he couldn't tell if he was a man or a woman, but he could only tell that he was not very old.

After hearing his "reason", Lu Tong felt that it was very unreasonable.

Although the cake was not made by him, it was bought with money.

The silver is for opening a teahouse, no, it is obtained from the bird feathers and hoofs, and the silver for the hoofs and bird feathers is robbed by murderers.

Killing and stealing money?
This……

Thinking of the end, Lu Tong suddenly felt that what this little guy said seemed to make sense.

"Come and sit down, there is fresh soup in the pot."

The little man didn't know why Lu Tong's attitude suddenly changed, but he still walked to the campfire and sat down without fear.

Under the firelight, Lu Tong finally saw his face clearly.

Thin arms and thin legs, the arms are so long that they can hang below the knees when standing.

Mouth slightly protruding, monkey face.

Especially striking is that he has a pair of very long white eyebrows.

The snow-white eyebrows hang down from the corners of the eyes, and the ends are close to the corners of the mouth, like the old Taoist priests in the illustrations in the book.

Lu Tong asked, "What's the name?"

"Pierce the clouds."

Lu Tong looked at the long sword behind his back.

Most of the long sword sticks out from the top of his head. If his arms were not longer than ordinary people, he would not be able to reach the hilt at all.

Lu Tong asked curiously, "Did your name come from your ability to memorize the Cloud Piercer?"

The cloud piercing sword is the most common entry-level weapon, and almost every household in Yunying City has this kind of sword.

There are even two in the stone house in the backyard of the teahouse. The stone house collapsed, and they are still under the stone.

Chuanyun didn't know why, but his face suddenly turned red, and he said viciously: "I want you to take care of it!"

After speaking, he took out a broken bowl from his back and was about to scoop soup from the pot.

"and many more."

Lu Tong hurriedly called him to stop.

The white robe on Chuanyun's body was dirty, and the broken bowl he took out was definitely not clean.

"What, regret it?"

Lu Tong shook his head and said, "What's wrong with a bowl of soup, there's no salt in it yet."

He took out the seasoning and sprinkled some, then took out the spoon, bowls and chopsticks, and put three bowls by the fire.

"One bowl is enough for me."

Lu Tong smiled and pointed behind Chuanyun.

Dian Si'er had just returned from washing at the mountain spring, and was standing by the side looking at Chuanyun curiously.

Chuanyun knew that he was thinking too much, so he lowered his head in embarrassment.

Under the firelight, the monkey's face was as red as a monkey's butt.

……

Lu Tong stayed in Qianxue Mountain for three more days.

In the early morning of the fourth day, when the sky was dim, he went to the burial site alone to collect the blood beetles.

The size and quantity of the blood beetles surprised him greatly.

After the morning sun had fully risen, he was full of joy and woke up Dian Si'er and set off back to Yunying City together.

At the foot of the Thousand Caves Mountain.

After Lu Tong and Dian Si'er showed the remaining imprints on their hands, they each received a document to return to the city.

Most of the surviving monsters and half-monsters returned to Yunying City three days ago.

The ones left now, apart from the monsters who plan to stay in Qiancao Mountain, there are also some unlucky ones who are seriously injured and cannot make it on their way.

There is an open space on the side of the road.

A large group of monsters and half-monsters were lying on the ground, waiting for the free healing medicine that Yiyezong distributed every day.

When Lu Tong passed by, he saw a familiar figure. After a little consideration, he changed direction and walked towards the injured half-demon.

"Remember mine?"

The half-demon lying on the ground was very weak, watching Lu Tong tilt his head weakly.

Lu Tong: "We are defending in one place. When the fog monster first attacked, you were the first to rush up."

Every part of the half-demon on the ground is humanoid, with strong muscles.

The only special thing is that there is a layer of black and yellow tiger skin on the surface of the body.

The first time he encountered a fog monster, Lu Tong was the first to disperse the gray fog with fire rain.

There were other half-demons around, but the first one who dared to rush forward to fight melee was the half-demon who only had the blood of the tiger demon in front of him.

But his current situation is a bit miserable.

A left arm is missing, a left leg is broken, even if the injury recovers, it is basically useless.

The half-demon didn't respond after listening, his eyes were still weak, dark, dead silent, and there was a trace of anger.

Lu Tong took out a bottle of wound medicine, knelt down and uncovered the blood-stained rag on his broken leg.

An unpleasant stench hit his face, and the wound under the rag had already started to fester. If he didn't heal in time, his left leg would not be able to survive.

Lu Tong took out another short knife, cut off the rotten meat with a few cuts, poured the wound medicine, and wrapped the wound with a rag wrapped in plain bread.

"What's your name?"

The half-demon looked at Lu Tong with some doubts, not understanding why this human-looking half-demon wanted to save herself.

"Big Tiger."

Lu Tong asked: "I have a shop in the city, where I take care of food and housing, and I get rewards for my work. How about it, follow me?"

Tea taverns can't make a lot of money.

These days, he has almost figured out what to do when he goes back, but he still needs some help.

Especially the helpers who dare to fight and kill.

Dahu's eyes widened, he couldn't believe what he heard, raised his left shoulder and asked, "I'm missing an arm..."

"Stop talking nonsense."

Lu Tong understood what Duo wanted to say, it was nothing more than nonsense that I was a useless person and what he wanted me to do.

He said directly: "Just stand up!"

Dug gritted his teeth, turned over and wanted to stand up, but fell headlong beside him.

The broken wound on his left shoulder touched the soil on the ground, Du Hu was shaking with pain, and a lot of saliva flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Dian Si'er bent over to help Duhu up.

Lu Tong grabbed Dian Si'er and stood there, waiting for Du Hu to stand up by himself.

Dumb gasped heavily as he lay on the ground.

After a long time, Duo put his forehead on the ground, propped his body up on his right elbow and knelt on the ground, and then stood up little by little with his good right leg.

"very good."

Lu Tong threw the remaining wound medicine to him, and said with a smile: "But the name is not very good, there is already a 'big character' in the store, you can call it Erhu from now on."

After speaking, he turned and left.

Dian Si'er looked at the two tigers curiously, not understanding why Lu Tong took in this half-demon.

Erhu stared at Lu Tong's back, clutching the medicine bottle tightly in his hand.

After a while, he bit off the cork, poured the remaining medicine on the wound, threw the bottle away, and limped after him.
