How to solve problems when practicing the Tao

Chapter 174 Shadow Spider

The Great Elder and Qin Xiaoying took a short break and continued on their way.

The Great Elder followed the footprints of the beasts and began to search for the traces left by the hunters in the village when they retreated.

The Great Elder said that their footsteps were messy and chaotic, and it could be seen that they were very anxious when they retreated.just them

Qin Xiaoying left a few pieces of freshly roasted meat on purpose.

"It's such a waste." Yuchen looked at the meat left by the two people, and couldn't believe it: "What's the matter with the elder, our master wasted food so much, didn't you give him a good lesson? Humph, thanks to him Say I wasted food, but I dare not say a word when I meet Master, and watch people order dishes."

Wang Dongkui's lips moved, but she didn't say anything. Obviously, she didn't agree with what Yuchen said, but thought of something else.

Yuchen and Wang Dongkui shared the pieces of meat and hurried on their way while eating.This made their stomachs growling with hunger feel better.

"Tell me, how strong is Master?" Yuchen asked after eating the last piece of meat.

"I don't know, when I first met my big brother, he was quite weak..." Wang Dongkui said as he tore the meat into strips and fed them to Di Jiang who was lying on his back.

Yuchen looked in disbelief, "He's still weak? He can kill a king-level monster with a big sword for the first time. Such people are rare in our village, right?"

"Anyway, it's very strange. His strength... seems to be getting stronger?" Wang Dongkui said, tilting his head.

"You mean Master's strength is still getting stronger? He's not so perverted, right?" In Yuchen's view, Qin Xiaoying's strength is almost comparable to that of the strongest hunter in the village.In his cognition, the hunter who can hunt king-level monsters is the top one.

"What do you think?" Wang Dongkui said. "It's like a baby who suddenly learns to run not long after birth, and after one night, he will fly." Wang Dongkui used an inappropriate sentence to describe the shock in his heart
"This..." Yuchen imagined the scene in his mind, and he couldn't say anything other than shock.

"I remember one year, there was a fairy flying over our village in the sky, but I have dreamed about it. I used to fly in the sky, and I still stepped on a sword."

"I've dreamed about it too, everyone will have such a dream, right?" Yuchen said.

"But I don't think that's a dream, it's something we've experienced before."

"But we don't know that flying spell."

"Big brother is here, I always feel like I've seen him somewhere. Now that I think about it, I've seen him in my dream."

"As soon as a person wakes up, the things in the dream are almost forgotten. How can you remember who appeared in your dream?"

"It's strange, isn't it, but I have this strange feeling when I see my big brother. And this feeling is very familiar, as if seeing him for the first time, I know that he is not a bad person and can help me."

"The more you talk, the more mysterious you are. I didn't think you could tell stories so well before." Yuchen said.

Wang Dongkui also wants to tell Yuchen one more evil thing, that is, she feels that what they are doing now is like doing it once before.

She couldn't say or express this feeling. The moment she saw Qin Xiaoying, she felt that something had already happened once.

For example, now she has a very bad feeling that there is some danger ahead.Her feelings grew stronger as time passed.

It's just that she hesitated, should she tell Yuchen.

"Mongkui, what do you think is the answer that Master said?" Yuchen asked.

.

the other side.Qin Xiaoying was asking the elder about everything about Tashui Village.

"After the hunters in the village have brought back the monsters, how can they sell money for the necessities they need?"

The Great Elder was exploring the way aside, turned around and said with a smile: "Does this kind of life seem unbelievable to you, and you feel that you have been closed to the whole world for too long?"

"Correct."

"In addition to hunters, there are of course merchants in the village. It's just that these merchants don't live in the village all year round. Instead, they take some monster jade and monster materials that cherish monsters to sell in big towns, and then return to the village regularly to bring them back to the village. Some necessities."

"I think the medicine you use is a bit miraculous, is it also in exchange?" Qin Xiaoying asked.

"That's collected in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Every time the hunters take action, in addition to killing monsters, they will also collect some other materials, such as herbs, plant seeds, monster eggs, etc., which are the most valuable. Of course, it is the materials on the monsters. The higher the level of the monsters, the higher the price of the materials. As for the herbs in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, they can instantly restore the injured body, but correspondingly, the more times they are used, the more expensive they are. The greater the burden on the body. Some people say that medicine is poisonous to the intestines, and that’s the reason.”

"Side effects... In other words, this medicine can heal no matter how serious the injury is? Is it so difficult to take?"

"It's not difficult to pick. It can be found everywhere in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. It's just that this medicine is not as miraculous as you imagine. It's not so much a cure, it's more like an exchange."

"exchange?"

"For example, my strength has degraded so badly because I have been seriously injured many times. Every time I take this medicine, my strength will regress a bit. I was fine when I was young, and I can use endless battles to gradually restore myself. strength. But the aftereffects of this medicine are equally powerful, he will not let you go just because you are old, my current strength is less than one-fifth of my heyday."

"It's really stupid, this kind of magical herb, find an alchemist, and the negative effects can be eliminated in a few days! It's a treasure mountain without knowing how to develop it! It's a waste!" Xing Tian snorted coldly in his mind.

"Come here if you have the ability." Qin Xiaoying said excitedly.

"Hey, the aggressive method doesn't work for me! But if you can find the old stick, the guy's craftsmanship will let you know what is good."

"What's an old stick?"

Realizing that he had leaked the secret, Xing Tian pretended to be dead again.

"Play this game every time, come out!" Qin Xiaoying was anxious.

"What good does it do you to know so much now?" Xing Tian added, and continued to remain silent.

"Why do the hunters in Tashui Village hunt monsters? Wouldn't it be more comfortable to live in those towns? This way you don't have to tie your life to your belt every day." Qin Xiaoying asked the elder.

"Hey, I'm not used to it. When I went to those towns, not only did the residents of those towns look at us like monsters, but we also felt that we were not free. It was like being held in a birdcage every day, and we couldn't breathe. Our ancestors have lived in Here, we have long been used to everything here." The Great Elder said.

The two of them walked forward for about 20 miles, and it was getting late.The pace of the Great Elder gradually became lighter.

"what happened?"

"Hush." ​​The Great Elder signaled Qin Xiaoying to keep his voice down.

"Here are the remnants of the shadow spider's web."

"Shadow Spider? You mean the one that chased Brother Wang Dongkui and the others?"

"It's not clear yet, these spider webs were spit out by him when he was catching prey. Generally, shadow spiders are spider queens and move together with the spider group, but looking at these footprints, this group has only one spider queen? It must be something that will It got annoyed, so she let go of her pack to hunt by herself."
