Chapter 23 Tiger Demon
Early autumn, early morning, slightly cool.
Qin Feng followed his father and walked towards the entrance of Qifeng Mountain with twenty or thirty people.
Every autumn, the three cultivator families in Kuncheng will organize people to go into the mountains to encircle the peripheral monsters.
One is to prevent these monsters from rushing out of the mountains and forests to harm the people of Kuncheng, and the other is to kill these monsters to obtain some cultivation resources.
After all, many things on the monster's body are very valuable, whether it's skin, scales, sharp claws, fangs, horns, bones, or even flesh and blood are good things that can be exchanged for spirit stones.
Kuncheng is short of materials, and the three families can’t just keep their own foundation. If they want to make the family develop better, they have to open up some other ways of making money, so they organize a trip to the mountain every year.
If you don't go, you can't do it. Once there are more monsters on the periphery of Qifeng Mountain, it will definitely bring a lot of losses to the people of Kuncheng, and it will also damage the properties of the three cultivator families.
After all, the spiritual veins of their three families are all connected to Qifeng Mountain, which means that they all live on the periphery of Qifeng Mountain. Once there are more monsters, whether it is the Qin family's spiritual field or the Huang family's sent to mine in the mountains The clansmen of the concentrated iron ore vein will be threatened.
Entering the mountain pass, three monks gathered here.
The Qin family is on the left, the Huang family is on the right, and the Chengxi Wang family is between these two families.
Unless they encounter monsters that are particularly difficult to deal with, under normal circumstances, these three families rarely join forces to encircle and suppress monsters. Instead, they divide an area in advance and clean up their own areas.
"Hahaha, everyone came early!"
Qin Long gave a hearty laugh, bowed his hands to the two families who came early, looked towards the Huang family in the north of the city, and joked: "It is too grand that the head of the Huang family actually went out in person, I remember your Huang family. Isn't there a great elder who builds foundations?
Why didn't the elders come forward for such things, but bothered Brother Huang, the patriarch? "
"Humph!"
Huang Tingyuan, the head of the Huang family, snorted coldly with a bad expression on his face.
He is a sword cultivator, and his voice is cold: "This patriarch wants to exercise his muscles and bones, can't he?
Besides, I am the Huang family, why do you need Qin Long to point fingers here? "
Qin Long was not angry either, he said with a laugh, "Brother Huang, why did you do this? You and I have known each other since childhood. I'm not worried about your safety. The monsters in Qifeng Mountain are ferocious. There is a mistake, what will Huang Jiake do?
Alas, there are elders in the family who do not need it, so I have to come forward in person, why bother. "
The Qin family members who followed Qin Long laughed lightly, which immediately made the opposite Huang family glared at him.
In fact, the Huang family did not want to let the head of the family personally preside over the matter of entering the mountains to encircle and suppress the monsters, but their family now has only two foundation-building cultivators.
Although the Great Elder's cultivation base is higher, he has made swords all his life and is not very good at fighting.
What's more, the elder was older than Qin Guanbao, the head of the Qin family, and he was also the strongest refiner in the family. The Huang family could not bear to let the elder take the risk himself, otherwise, if something went wrong, the loss would be huge. It is not what the current Huang family is willing to undertake.
After all, the Huang family is different from the Qin family. The Qin family mainly cultivates spiritual fields and has a stable income, while the Huang family makes a living by refining tools. Although sometimes they earn more spiritual stones than the Qin family relies on Lingtian. But without the best craftsman in the family, their income would plummet.
Therefore, Huang Tingyuan would rather lead the team into the mountain in person than let the Great Elder take risks.
The Wang family in the middle was accustomed to the things that the two families did not like each other. The elders led by the Wang family came out to make a round. After that, the three families discussed for a while and divided the areas that needed to be investigated and suppressed, and then they went into the mountains separately. do their own thing.
In the Qin family's team, apart from Qin Feng, there are several other teenagers and girls who plan to compete for the places of worship in the sect by the end of the year.
The same goes with the team.
Among these people, except for one of the young people named Qin Jun, who is the same as Qin Feng, who is the second-level Qi-refining cultivation base, the rest are the first-level Qi-refining cultivation.
The reason why the family let them follow is not to expect them to be of any help in this operation, but to let them see the blood in advance and get used to the fight.
After all, when they enter the sect, what they need to face is far more cruel than what they have seen now. If they can't even hunt and kill monsters now, then it is best to stay in the family honestly. Come on, don't delusionally want to join the sect, or nine out of ten you won't be able to live long.
Now there are families leading the team and elders to protect them. When they really step into the sect and the cultivation world in the future, no one will protect them like this.
The group walked towards the mountain.
The mountain roads along the way are rugged and extremely difficult to travel, and there are even no roads in many places, so everyone needs to forcibly open up a small road to pass.
Fortunately, everyone is a cultivator, and they can use spells such as the lightening technique to help them on their way. If this is an ordinary person, I am afraid that they will be exhausted before they go far.
As he gradually went deeper into the forest, he could often hear shrill howls, or the screams of beasts before they died.
In the eyes of everyone, you can often see some ferocious beasts haunting, but most of these are ordinary beasts, they have not evolved into monsters, and they are not a threat to monks.
Moreover, when ordinary beasts see so many people acting together, no matter whether they perceive the tyrannical aura of this group of people or not, they are unwilling to provoke them easily, and will only avoid them from a distance.
Only those monsters who have opened up their spiritual wisdom and understand the practice will covet these monks.
Compared with ordinary prey, they are more eager for the flesh and blood that contains spiritual energy in these monks.
Soon, the clansmen walking in front gestured towards the rear, signaling everyone to slow down.
"What did you find?"
Qin Yang, who was with the team to hunt down monsters, took a few steps forward and asked softly.
"There are a series of footprints in the shape of plum blossoms, and the shape should be that a tiger has just walked by.
However, this footprint is very large, obviously this is not an ordinary tiger, it is very likely that it has become a fine. "
The person talking was a middle-aged man in his forties. He was an old hunter of the family. He often haunts the periphery of Qifeng Mountain. He is very familiar with all kinds of beasts and low-level monsters: "Let everyone be careful, Although the tiger monsters are ferocious, they are actually very good at sneak attacks, so I tell everyone to pay attention, but don't let that beast succeed."
Qin Yang nodded and turned around to speak to the people behind him.
However, his words seemed to be a little late. Before he could reach the end of the team, he suddenly heard a tiger roar resounding through the mountains and forests like thunder, which shook the hearts of the Qin family cultivators at the back of the team. With a shudder, the movement suddenly slowed down.
Accompanied by the deafening tiger roar, a figure more than ten feet long suddenly rushed over from the grass behind everyone, and rushed towards the clansmen at the end of the team.
"not good……"
"Get out of the way!"
"Defense, Armor!"
Several clansmen either avoided or cast spells to protect themselves.
It's just that the magic defense power they hurriedly deployed is not too strong, and the strength of the tiger demon is extraordinary.
Before a tiger roar had passed, the tiger demon that suddenly jumped out had already waved its two sharp front claws, and suddenly tore apart the defensive spell on one of the clansmen and bit him.
"Bold beasts!"
Suddenly, a loud shout came, and then I saw a firelight emerge, and with a bang, the firelight burst, and the tiger monster flew out two or three feet away.
This tiger demon has a strong vitality, and after landing, regardless of the blood on his body, he turned around and tried to escape.
"Do you still want to run?"
Qin Long, who had just shot back the tiger demon, sneered.
Although most of his combat power is on spirit beasts, he is also a cultivator in the foundation-building stage, and his own strength is definitely not weak, at least it is more than enough to deal with this tiger monster.
Therefore, he did not send his own monsters out to confront the enemy, but waved his hand and released a golden light.
The golden light flashed away, and with a puff, it cut off the tiger demon's head, and instantly a large amount of blood sprayed out from the tiger demon's neck.
Such a bloody and cruel scene immediately startled a few teenagers in the team.
After all, they are only fourteen or fifteen-year-old teenagers, and they have not been cultivating for a long time. When have they seen such a brutal battle scene.
Moreover, because of the reason of protecting them, most of these teenagers were arranged at the end of the team. When the tiger rushed over, they were startled.
Seeing this bloody and terrifying scene again at this time, especially the strong bloody smell in the nose, the teenagers couldn't help but take a few steps back, a little far away from the tiger monster Some.
Seeing this, Qin Long was very dissatisfied, and snorted coldly: "Why, are you afraid?
It's just beheading a monster in front of you. If this frightens you, then you should stay in the family honestly and completely break the thought of joining the sect. "
A few teenagers heard the words, and their faces showed shame.
Qin Long said again: "This tiger demon will be handed over to a few of you to clean up, Qin Yang, go and teach them what to do!"
"Yes, Uncle Seven."
Qin Yang agreed and came over to instruct a few teenagers how to clean up the body of the tiger demon, from collecting blood essence, to skinning and deboning, cutting the meat for storage, and so on. The teaching was very detailed.
However, these young men and women were exposed to these things for the first time after all, so even with all kinds of knives in their hands, they still got themselves covered in blood, and a tiger skin was cut in a mess by them. look.
Qin Long took the opportunity to teach them another lesson.
In fact, he had already discovered the trace of this tiger demon, but he just wanted to teach the children in the family a good lesson, so he deliberately made it so bloody.
Qin Feng is not as unbearable as the other boys and girls, and he is even eager to try.
When he came into contact with this tiger demon just now, the demon refining pot in the sea of knowledge was about to move, and he wanted to refine this tiger demon to make up for the consumption.
It's a pity that Qin Feng didn't dare to take away the body of the tiger demon just in front of everyone's eyes.
Fortunately, the refining demon pot is very obedient and will not take the initiative to collect the corpses of the demon clan, so nothing happened.
However, Qin Feng was also thinking to himself that it was rare to come out with his family to hunt monsters. If he didn't find a chance to refine one or two corpses of monsters to assist his cultivation, wouldn't this great opportunity be wasted.
However, how can we take away the body of the monster without knowing it, without being discovered by others?
