Taishang Immortal Brigade

Chapter 44 Hunting Squad
When Xia He woke up early in the morning, there were not many people in the ruined temple. Those cultivators who got up early should have gone out to make a living. Xia He thought that he would go out for a walk too, to see if he could find some connections. Mu Hanfeng seemed to say However, you can serve as a caravan guard, join a hunting team that hunts monsters or something.

Walking into the busiest street of the gathering point, Xia He saw a bustling scene. The shops beside the street were filled with a wide variety of materials, elixir and magical instruments. Xia He didn't want to enter these consumption places. What he was looking for was There are places that can provide jobs, but he noticed that, like himself, there are not a few immortal cultivators wandering around the streets looking for opportunities. He sighed and thought, the world of cultivating immortals is really difficult, and it is so difficult to find a job.

Following behind a few immortal cultivators who had been hanging around for a long time, Xia He finally found a place to recruit workers. He saw a few booths lined up in a long queue, zigzag back and forth on the street, and Xia He couldn't find the end of the queue. , I couldn’t even find a place to line up, so I could only stand aside and watch, and wait for the crowd to gradually decrease before going up to ask questions.

At this time, there was a noise from a store, and a figure flew out and landed on the street. It was an immortal cultivator with a sluggish expression. He stood up, regardless of his injuries, and was about to rush into the store. Several people had already walked out of the store. Xiaoer, hold back the immortal cultivator.

The cultivator said with grief and indignation, "Didn't you say that you will be given one spirit stone when you fill ten pieces of spirit jade? Why is it not worth talking? I filled you with 30 yuan spirit stones, but why only give me two pieces? You still say It's unreasonable. I don't practice the spiritual energy I absorbed these days, and I used it to fill the spiritual jade, just for the three spiritual stones. If you don't keep your promise, you won't give me a way to survive."

Xia He heard the conversation of the onlookers on one side, and learned that some shops will recruit immortals, fill the special jade blocks with spiritual energy, and pay the spiritual stones accordingly. These jade blocks full of spiritual energy are called spiritual jade, and they are sold at high prices. For other immortal cultivators, the immortal cultivators filled with spiritual energy can only obtain a small amount of spiritual stones, but such a small number of spiritual stones may not be fully cashed in. What is happening in front of them is a common seizure situation.

The immortal cultivator said it was pitiful, but the waiters in the shop said nonchalantly, "You kid cheated and played tricks when you were working, and the spirit energy filled into the spirit jade is not pure enough. The quality of the spirit jade is very low, and our store has suffered a lot. , Giving you two spirit stones is already very kind, if you still dare to make noise, we will tell everyone on the street, so that you will not be able to find a job in the future."

Grief, anger, unwillingness and despair flashed across the face of the immortal cultivator, but in the end they all turned into numb expressions. He stood up without saying a word, turned and left, and the sarcasm of the shop waiter sounded behind him.

Discussions sounded around Xia He, "This store is really squeezing hard, the fellow Taoist just now is really unlucky."

"That's because he was ignorant, and he didn't inquire about it beforehand. Zhou Papi's reputation is well known to everyone, and only newcomers can use it."

"In the final analysis, the work of filling the spirit jade is still too much loss, not to mention the impact on the cultivation, and the lack of spirit stones, it is really a big loss."

"That's something that can't be helped. Sometimes in an emergency, you need to use Lingshi, even if it affects your cultivation, you don't care about it."

Seeing the humiliating reaction of the immortal cultivator, Xia He thought at first that the immortal cultivator might as well die for being so useless. After hearing the discussions around him, he realized how difficult it is for these immortal cultivators who are living at the bottom. .

Not long after, Xiahe saw many immortal cultivators leaving dejectedly from the recruiting booth. He grabbed one and asked what was going on. Everyone must have a guarantor."

Xia He asked suspiciously, "What kind of guarantor do you want? We didn't sell ourselves to him, but just wanted to make a living. Maybe we still want to investigate whether our net worth is innocent."

The immortal cultivator said unhappily, "Don't mention it, the world of immortal cultivation is full of favors and connections. I ran into obstacles everywhere because there is no one in the immortal world. I understand that the immortal world is no different from the mortal world?"

Of course Xiahe does not have a guarantor, but it is understandable that those who recruit workers, caravans and hunting teams have to seek peace of mind. If they are mixed in by some sinister gangsters, it may cause a lot of losses, but the understanding is For the same thing, Xia He was still very angry when he was rejected.

He couldn't find a way out anywhere, and Xia He almost felt desperate. Although he could still live in the ruined temple at night, his practice could not be delayed any longer. Since entering the foundation building period, the upper limit of spiritual energy he can absorb every day has also increased a lot , the daily supply of top-grade spirit stones is no longer enough, and Xiahe's recent practice is always unsatisfactory. If he can get more spirit stones, his cultivation progress can be increased a lot.Before immortality, the most precious thing for a cultivator is time.

Xia He gritted his teeth, thinking that life forced him to do so. If he really couldn't find a way out, he would have to take risks, whether it was robbery or stealing, he had to earn enough spiritual stones for his cultivation.

Just as he was hesitating, a large group of immortal cultivators rushed towards one direction. Xia He was trying to see clearly what was going on, when an immortal cultivator passed by Xia He and reminded him, "Hurry up, there is work to do."

Xia He went in without knowing, but still ran after him, and came to a high platform, surrounded by dozens of cultivators. On the high platform stood a burly man with a beard. The big man said to the cultivators below, " Brothers, Lao Hu, I am a real person, and I will tell everyone clearly that this hunting team is opened by Lao Hu myself. There is no support from big businessmen behind it, and the strength is pitifully weak. This is still the highest level. Right now we are going to hunt and kill the foundation-building monsters. It is a life-or-death job. If you are willing to go all out with me, I won’t force you if you don’t. Old Hu has lived enough."

Among the immortal cultivators below the high platform, two or thirty people immediately stood up, including Xia He
, Xia He came here because he wanted to see the work of the hunting team, and because he was short of money, he really wanted to earn some Lingshi. Anyway, the big man who called himself Lao Hu in front of him was just a practitioner of Qi Refining Dzogchen, and he just wanted to hurt himself Not afraid.

Lao Hu looked at the immortal cultivator who stood up, and said cheerfully, "Okay, the brothers who stood up are all good, but Lao Hu said again, this time is a job of a narrow escape, and the brothers who go with Lao Hu are not necessarily You can come back, but Lao Hu can assure you that if you can come back successfully, you will definitely be able to live a comfortable life."

The immortal cultivators present are all poor casual cultivators at the lowest level, who regard opportunities as more important than their lives, and they all have a temper that would rather die rich than live poorly. Hearing what Lao Hu said, some people shouted loudly , "Old Hu, why are you talking so much nonsense, we are too poor to survive, and you are willing to give us this opportunity to develop, how can we be ungrateful."

In this way, Lao Hu hit it off with twenty or thirty immortal cultivators and formed a temporary hunting team. Of course, when they didn't notice, Xia He, a foundation-building cultivator, was also among them. The inexperienced Xia He didn't know, How much change this hunting trip would bring him.

Lao Hu waved his hand and called the three people from the tenth level of Qi refining in the team over. In order to get close to the decision-making layer, Xia He also suppressed his own cultivation to the level of the tenth level of Qi refining, so he naturally joined Lao Hu's discussion .

Lao Hu unfolded a crude map and said to the three immortal cultivators, "These brothers are the strongest in the team. In the process of hunting later, Lao Hu still has a lot to rely on from you brothers. Here Please first."

Among the three immortal cultivators, besides Xia He, there is also a black-faced middle-aged man and an old man wearing a turban. After hearing what Lao Hu said, they all said politely, "Where is the news and map of this hunting? You came out, Hu, and you are the only leader in the team. All we can do is try our best to help you, if there is anything we can do for you, just ask, Hu. "

When Lao Hu heard what they said, he smiled with satisfaction, pointed to the map and said, "That monster is named Zihao Rabbit, and it is equivalent to the strength of the foundation-building stage. It took me several days to figure out how Zihao Rabbit is." The range of activities is in this place."

Xia He didn't know the map, so he kept silent, just observing the reactions of the black-faced middle-aged man and the old man, and heard the black-faced middle-aged man say, "This direction is a bit far away, and it may take three days."

Lao Hu had already considered this problem and said, "This is not a problem. After all, our hunting team has just been established. It is a rabble to put it bluntly. Now it is only a matter of courage, so I think about the three days. The time can be used to explain to them some things to pay attention to, and practice cooperating with them in combat."

The black-faced middle-aged man nodded in agreement, and said to the old man beside him, "Old Man Qi, what do you think?"

Elder Qi, who was wearing a turban, said, "Old Hu, you said that this monster is called Zihao Rabbit. Is it a monster in the shape of a rabbit?"

Lao Hu knew the situation of the monster very well, and said, "Yes, the monster is three people tall and looks like a rabbit. At present, I only know that it can breathe out wind blades. I don't know about the other conditions. .”

The old man Qi said thoughtfully, "Accordingly, monsters in the shape of rabbits are generally not very lethal. You said that the strength of this Zihao rabbit is equivalent to that of the foundation-building stage, and it should be compared with those monks who have just entered the foundation-building stage. Bar?"

Lao Hu nodded, "Yes, it makes sense for me to choose this monster to attack. Firstly, its range of activities is relatively close. The hunting team in the gathering point is powerful and equipped with excellent magic weapons. The monsters are almost gone. This Zihao rabbit may have slipped through the net. I was lucky enough to find it. Secondly, the monsters in the shape of rabbits are not strong. Although they have the strength of the foundation stage, their lethality should not Big, so although our team is all casual cultivators in the Qi refining stage, we should be able to eat this monster."

Xia He's heart moved, and he suddenly asked, "Old Hu, since the Zihao Rabbit has the strength of the foundation-building stage, why don't we ask a monk of the foundation-building stage to help, so that the casualties can be smaller."

Old Hu said with a wry smile, "Fellow Daoist Xiahe, you just came here not long ago, and you don't know how difficult it is to serve those uncles in the foundation period. If we pull them into the team, we won't even have a share of soup. Besides, The monks in the base period, those caravans and regular hunting teams are scrambling to hire them, so they won’t take a fancy to our little team.”

Then the four of them discussed in detail the plan to round up and kill the Zihao Rabbit. Lao Hu was willing to take risks for this monster and lurked in the wild for many days. It can be said that all the information about the Zihao Rabbit is Old Hu's painstaking efforts, the reason why he didn't swallow this monster alone was because Lao Hu knew that his strength was not enough, so he recruited such a large group of immortal cultivators. In fact, he also knew that among these people, the ones who could really be used were There were only four people present, and the rest were used to boost their momentum. Whether they could survive in the end depends on their luck.
