Taishang Immortal Brigade

Chapter 48

Xia He thought of the sharp increase in the prices of various things in the store recently, and said to Lao Hu, "Old Hu, why have the prices of things increased so much recently? Price, isn't this intentional to make us sad?"

Lao Hu also sighed when he heard it, and said, "Yes, I also think that the merchant's actions are too much. I asked them, and they said that Sifang Xianzong and Tumu Tianbao fought more and more fiercely, and the casualties on both sides were heavy. There are a lot of storage rings and elixirs, and the inventory in the sect is already in short supply. Now they are buying from the people. These two are rich and powerful masters. They smashed down a lot of spirit stones, which raised the market price all at once. This is hard for us casual practitioners."

Fu Decheng went on to say, "That's right, the life at the assembly point is getting worse and worse. There are more and more immortal cultivators who have degenerated into hyenas. Even some hunting teams can't live happily. I heard that many hunting teams They're all stealthily doing some hyena work."

Xia He knew that because of his own existence, his own hunting team hunted many and good monsters each time, so he could not worry about making a living for the time being. However, other hunting teams would consume a lot of money to hunt monsters once, and they needed to replace the damaged magic beasts. Spirit stones are needed for weapons, and spirit stones are needed for buying pills for injured immortal cultivators. Sometimes even hunting monsters is not enough to offset the cost. If there are heavy casualties and no monsters can be hunted, then the hunting team will definitely go bankrupt and disband, so He was not surprised when he heard that some hunting teams were secretly working as hyenas. After all, life was not easy.

Xia He sighed, "Sifang Xianzong and Tumu Tianbao, the fight between these two families has caused us low-level people to suffer. But speaking of it, if you can join these two sects, I heard that the treatment is good, at least you don't have to do it like you are now. , beat life and death, and most of the spirit stones obtained were stripped off by those merchants."

Old Hu said with a wry smile, "Captain, there are immortal cultivators all over the world with your thoughts, but you can only think about it in your dreams. These great sects have their own sources of apprenticeship, and the disciples in the sect form families and branches. Sanye has countless descendants, and it is enough to select outstanding disciples from these families, so how can we recruit outsiders like us?"

Xiahe has been at the assembly point for so long, and he also knows that it is impossible to join the great sect. The great sects such as Sifang Xianzong and Tumu Tianbao represent the interests of countless immortal cultivator families inside. Exclusive, pouring priority resources on oneself, the sect recruits are all selected from the family, it is impossible to recruit foreign cultivators.

Therefore, the immortal cultivators who dissociate from the sect, because most of the resources in the cultivating world are monopolized by the sect, can only rely on selling monsters and beasts to merchants, self-made magic tools and talismans, or selling their own labor. And these merchants are also under the name of the Martial Arts, and are used to exploit the low-level immortal cultivators.

Thinking of this, Xia He felt very melancholy. Seeing that the immortal cultivators under him had almost cleaned up, he said to Lao Hu, "Tell the brothers to work harder and clean up as soon as possible. Let's take a rest tonight and leave for the assembly point tomorrow."

Under the organization of Lao Hu, the hunting team moved in an orderly manner. The body of the triangular poisonous snail had been decomposed into different parts and placed in the storage ring. Compared with the team's first prey, the Zihao rabbit, it was It was transported back in a crude cart, and the equipment of the current hunting team has been improved.

On the second day, Xia He led his men out of the dense forest, far away from the humid environment. The long-lost sunshine shone on his body, and his drenched clothes slowly dried. The hunting team had already stepped into the plain near the assembly point.

"Wait a minute." Xia He saw ahead, a bottomless crack suddenly appeared on the endless field, cutting off the way back. But Xia He remembered that when the hunt came, there was no such crack.

Lao Hu also saw the crack, went forward and squatted down, touched the soil on the edge of the crack, and took a breath, "What a powerful earth spell, the spiritual energy on the edge of the crack has not dissipated, and the time to fight Not long ago." Turning around, he asked Xia He, "Should we continue walking?"

Xia He gritted his teeth and said, "What are you afraid of? Go on."

After crossing the crack, the scene of the plain changed completely. There were scattered rocks and broken vines everywhere. After walking a few steps, Xiahe saw burnt stones and piles of crushed ice. Old Hu's voice sounded. , "It's very chaotic here, there must be immortal practitioners fighting, but the scene is very clean, there must have been hyenas."

Xia He glanced around, but there were no pieces of magic weapons, nor the corpses of immortal cultivators. I am afraid that such a clean scene can only be achieved by those cultivators called hyenas. As for the corpses that have been sucked out of their spiritual energy, real hyenas will help them.

Xia He whispered to Lao Hu, "These two again?"

Lao Hu nodded, "There is no one else. Look at the tragic situation of this fighting method. The immortal cultivators at the assembly point can't do it together. In addition to the collective price increase of all the immortal cultivators at the assembly point, it seems that the Sifang Immortal Sect It is true that the battle with Tumu Tianbao has intensified."

Xia He and the hunting team moved forward slowly. Wherever they passed, there were damage caused by spells and magic tools everywhere. Occasionally, there were a few corpses of immortal cultivators. They were dragged into the grass by red-eyed hyenas, and there was a jaw-dropping sound. Sour crunch.

"It's really tragic." Xia He said, "These immortal cultivators of the great sect have enough spiritual stones to cultivate, and there is no shortage of magic tools, talismans, and formations. .”

A look of vicissitudes flashed across Lao Hu's face, "The greed of immortal cultivators is endless. What we think is enough is far from enough in their eyes, so they bet their lives and want to seize it." More."

"There is a situation." Xia He's spiritual consciousness that spread out sensed the fluctuations of two auras not far away, Lao Hu also took out the compass, and nodded after reading it, "There is indeed, but the monsters on the plain have been hunted and killed. The fluctuations of these two auras should be immortal cultivators, and judging by the appearance of this aura, they are all monks in the foundation establishment period."

Xia He said to them, "You two wait here, I'll go and have a look." After saying that, he controlled the double moon blades and flew away,

Arriving at the place where the aura fluctuated, Xia He saw two immortal cultivators chasing one after the other. The young man running for his life in front was stepping on a wooden boat. It was a middle-aged man in a yellow shirt, holding a precious light wheel in his hand, and he was in a hurry to catch up.

Xia He knew that Mu Hanfeng's cultivation was similar to his own, and he was a monk in the early stage of foundation establishment. Since the middle-aged man in front of him could chase him into a panic, his cultivation must be above the middle stage of foundation establishment. He thought that he and Mu Hanfeng had something to do For friendship, you should help. As for the gap in cultivation, I have a unique trick in my hole, and I am not afraid of the middle-aged man in front of me.

"Mu Daoyou, I'll help you." Xia He yelled, drawing their attention to himself at the same time.

Hearing Xia He's voice, Mu Hanfeng frowned, but he still said, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Xia, for your kindness. It's just that this person is a cultivator from Tumu Tianbao, Nong Zhang Deng, whose cultivation is in the middle stage of foundation establishment. Fellow Daoist Xia, your cultivation is comparable to mine. , or don’t meddle in your own business.”

The Nongzhang Deng in Chu yellow clothes looked at Xia He and sneered, "What a reckless boy, how dare to meddle in your Mr. Nong's business, after I take care of him later, I will clean up you."

Xia He laughed and said, "Why wait until later, I'll send it to you now." With a wave of the double moon blade in his hand, the two crescent moons staggered and separated, cutting down towards the sides of Nongzhangdeng, Nongzhangdeng grinned grinningly. Said, "It's just a middle-grade magic weapon, can it match the high-grade magic weapon Baoguang wheel in my hand?" When the Baoguang wheel in my hand turned, the blades on the wheel locked the crescent moon, and then turned it hard , The crescent moon formed by the double moon blades is about to be strangled.

When Xia He saw this, a golden light flashed from the ground, and he took the double-moon blade back into his hand, checked the condition of the double-moon blade, and found two more scars, and felt distressed. This is the first magic weapon on his body, which is of great significance.

Xia He and Nong Zhang Deng fought, but separated after one round. Mu Hanfeng took the opportunity to fly to Xia He, took out the magic weapon of the wooden oar, and watched Nong Zhang Deng warily. Only then did Xia He see that his wooden oar was full of gaps and holes. Crack, asked, "Friend Mu, your magic weapon?"

Mu Hanfeng said, "It's about to be abolished. Nongzhang Deng is a monk in the middle stage of foundation establishment, and the precious light wheel in his hand is a high-grade magic weapon. His strength is far stronger than mine. I can't escape him even if I fight all the way. Now I will kill you, fellow daoist Xia. I'm really sorry to get involved."

Xia He shook his head, "Fellow Daoist Mu, you are my first friend since I entered the world of cultivating immortals. If a friend is in trouble, it is right to draw a sword to help. Besides, I have some secret tricks that can resist one or two. You don't have to worry about it, Fellow Daoist Mu. But why did you conflict with him, Fellow Daoist Mu?"

Anger rose on Mu Hanfeng's face, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I was patrolling with a few colleagues today, and I met this thief, and he killed all my partners, so I escaped desperately. It’s all exhausted, and this thief is still chasing and killing me, if I can escape with my life today, I will definitely find this thief someday.”

Xia He heard the battlefield he had seen just now, so he pointed in that direction and said, "Where did Fellow Daoist Mu come from just now?"

Mu Hanfeng nodded, "That's where I met the thief. All my friends around me were killed. I was hunted down by the thief, and I didn't even have time to clean up their bodies."

Xia He told Mu Hanfeng the truth, "There have been hyenas there."

A sad look flashed in Mu Hanfeng's eyes, "I am sorry for them, I must kill the thief named Nong to avenge them."

Xia He nodded, "I'll give you a helping hand." With a wave of the double moon blade, it split into two crescent moons, which hovered above his head without attracting attention. Then Xia He pointed, and the golden light escaping from the ground attached to the crescent moon, and the two crescent moons The golden crescent moon flew towards the lantern.

Seeing the new moon flying again, Nong Zhangdeng laughed wildly, "Haha, I'm here to hit the stone with an egg again. See how my precious light wheel smashes your magic weapon. The leaves on the precious light wheel stir against the golden light, but Fleeing in vain, the next moment two golden crescent moons had pierced through his chest, whirled for a circle, and returned to Xia He's hand.

The precious light wheel in Nong Zhangdeng's hand was trembling constantly, and his eyes were full of disbelief, "Impossible, how can a middle-grade magic weapon have such a fast speed." He really died unjustly, the power of the precious light wheel He was killed by the double-moon blades before he could use it fully. How did he know that Xia He had developed this move by combining the speed of the golden light that escaped from the ground with the lethality of the double-moon blades. , Nong Zhangdeng thought that the power of the Double Moon Blade would remain the same, so he was killed in a single blow
