Volume 1 Chapter 75 Beast Hunting Team
Chapter 75 Beast Hunting Team
Walked out of the city and headed north slowly. After walking a few miles, I felt someone approaching quickly from behind, so I looked back. The man was about 20 years old, and ran quickly. Seeing Zhang Pa looking back, he shouted loudly: "Brother Zhang, wait a minute."
What a coincidence, it was Tiecheng. Zhang Pa stopped. A moment later, Tiecheng arrived and asked curiously: "Where are you going, brother Zhang?"
Where to? I really didn't know, so I said casually: "Walk around. I've been bored in the mountains for too long. I have to broaden my horizons. Where are you going, brother Tie?" Tiecheng replied: "Go home. What else can I do if I don't buy the elixir?"
"Oh, you're going back to Wushan?"
"It can be considered Wushan. My family is a branch and lives near Wushan. I can go to Wushan when I reach the foundation-building stage." When saying these words, Tiecheng's eyes were shining, full of longing. Seeing Zhang Pa's leisurely look, he said, "Brother Zhang, if you have nothing to do, why don't you stay at my house for a few days? I had a banquet yesterday and gave you black iron stones. I have to entertain you and thank you."
Zhang Pa smiled slightly, "It's nothing. Don't take it to heart." He wanted to refuse, but suddenly remembered that the Tie family was established by formations, so there must be something surprising about it. He said, "I heard that the Tie family is good at formations. I wonder what Brother Tie has learned?"
Formations? Tiecheng was a little embarrassed. Although he was a branch of the family, he was still a member of the family. He hesitated and said, "What do you mean, Brother Zhang?" Zhang Pa tried to smile innocently and said, "I'm just curious. The Tie family has been famous for thousands of years. They must have extraordinary magic. I would like to see it if I have the chance. If it is inconvenient, please forgive me for being abrupt."
Tiecheng said it openly and honestly, "It's nothing. I just remember the formation diagram and the formation. No matter how well you learn the formation, it can't improve your cultivation. So young disciples should focus on their own cultivation. If Zhang Xiong wants to see it, I can demonstrate it a little, but it's not very powerful. You will be disappointed after seeing it."
Zhang Pa certainly wanted to see it, so Tiecheng took out three formation flags and threw them on the road. He took out another small flag and waved it in the wind. A burst of smoke flashed by, and dozens of meters of yellow land turned into a pond in the blink of an eye. Tiecheng explained, "It's just a small maze." He waved the small flag in his hand again, and the pond turned into a forest. He continued, "It's really not very powerful. My maze can't even trap a first-grade monster." Zhang Pa looked carefully and found it was just the most superficial formation. Tiecheng put away the formation flag and said, "I'm disappointed, haha, but don't underestimate the Tie family's formation. The family elders are very powerful and can use talismans to set up formations." "Talismans can also set up formations?" Zhang Pa asked. Tiecheng smiled and said, "It's just speeding up. It has strict requirements on the terrain. After all, talismans are not formation flags. It's nothing more than engraving mazes and other formations into talismans to confuse and trap the enemy, giving yourself more time to set up powerful formations." This is a good way to save your life, but unfortunately he doesn't know much about formations, so Zhang Pa shook his head secretly. The two walked and talked, and they didn't realize that it was past noon. Seeing that they were about to go their separate ways, Tiecheng invited Zhang Pa to visit his home again. Zhang Pa didn't answer, but stopped and looked back. Tiecheng asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Zhang Pa noticed that there were more than a dozen monks behind him guarding two carriages and hurrying along. They should be the people he saw yesterday. He said casually, "Nothing." Tiecheng did not doubt him and continued to persuade him, "The martial arts competition will be held in half a month. This year, it will be hosted by Yueshan Yao Family. Go to my house for a few days first, and then we will compete together. If you win first place, can't the eight major families go to whichever family they want? You don't have to practice hard alone."
Zhang Pa smiled and said, "Win first place? It's better not to dream about such a dream. Thank you, Brother Tie, for your kindness. I won't participate in the martial arts competition."
The two walked slowly, and the carriage was moving fast. Tiecheng wanted to persuade him again, but suddenly frowned, looked back, and said after a while, "There are more than a dozen people hurrying along." Zhang Pa had already noticed it and asked lightly, "Hide?"
The convoy finally appeared, and more than a dozen monks surrounded the two carriages in front and behind and moved forward quickly. The carriages were covered with black oilcloth. Seeing the carriage covered with oilcloth, Tiecheng shook his head and said, "No need to hide, just stand aside and wait for them to pass." He led Zhang Pa to stand still on the side of the road.
The monks also saw the two, looked at them slightly, and continued to walk without any pause. Not long after, they passed by the two, and after a while, they walked away from their sight.
Zhang Pa asked, "Who are they?" Seeing them walk away, Tiecheng said, "The beast hunting team, specializing in catching monsters and selling spirit stones, their strength is quite terrifying." "Catch monsters? Where to catch them? Who to sell them to?" Zhang Pa wanted to know.
"Of course we go to Monster Mountain to catch them, otherwise where else can we go? Sell them to the Yao family, and the Yao family uses them to make pills and make medicine."
Zhang Pa was still curious: "What kind of pills can low-level monsters make? They can't sell for much money."
Tiecheng didn't understand either: "I don't know, anyway, the Yao family buys them at a high price, and they only want them alive; many monks want to buy pills to improve their practice, so they go to catch monsters."
Of course, monsters are needed to make pills, and the fate of the poor monsters in the two carts can be imagined, so he sighed a little, and couldn't help laughing at himself pretending to be a fake saint? I have eaten a lot of meat, why don't I feel pity for the animals I eat?
I said goodbye to Tiecheng and continued to go north alone. Tiecheng talked for a long time but failed to persuade Zhang Pa, so they had to go their separate ways, but he still told him to go to the martial arts competition to watch the excitement.
Zhang Pa didn't want to watch this kind of excitement, but as he walked, he thought of the red wolf and the five cubs in its belly, hoping that the Yao family would not kill them. The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't bear it. A thought flashed through his mind, the hunting team sold them for spirit stones, I can buy them. Thinking of this, he immediately felt much more relaxed and quickened his pace to catch up with the team.
The hunting team had not walked far when they saw Zhang Pa rushing over in a hurry. Everyone's spiritual sense swept over and knew that he was just a Qi Refining disciple, so they didn't care. They just stood down and looked at him coldly.
Zhang Pa came close and shouted, "Stop for a moment, please?"
The convoy did not stop, but the monk who stayed behind smiled coldly, and said with a playful tone: "You asked us to stop?"
Zhang Pa hated this face a little, and shouted: "I want to buy the monster in your car."
"Monster? Do you know there is a monster in the car?" The man was even more playful.
"Anyway, you are selling it to the Yao family, I will pay double the price."
"Oh? You know the Yao family?"
A man in the convoy spoke from a distance, with disdain: "Drive him away."
The monk smiled coldly again: "Did you hear that? The boss asked me to drive you away, why don't you get out?!" The last four words were shouted loudly, which scared Zhang Pa, and he also shouted loudly: "Five times the price! Sell it?"
The convoy continued to move forward, and a tall and burly middle-aged man floated over, looked at Zhang Pa and said: "I have seen you." Zhang Pa nodded and said: "I have seen you too, in the inn."
"Buy monsters at five times the price? Are you rich?" The big man looked at Zhang Pa carefully.
"Sell or not?"
"Sell, why not? Do you want to buy one or all?" The big man looked very interested. The cold monk beside him heard him say this, and a look of surprise flashed across his face.
"All." Buy one is to buy, just buy them all.
The big man smiled lightly: "Do you know how many monsters are there in the car?"
Zhang Pa certainly knew that there were 27 first-level monsters, 26 second-level monsters, and a third-level red wolf in the car, a total of 54 monsters, but he didn't say it, and said casually: "How many can there be? No matter how many, I will buy them."
The big man smiled again: "There are 54 in total, you also buy them?" Although the smile was kind, it made people uncomfortable.
Zhang Pa pretended to be surprised and said: "So many?" He pretended for a long time, gritted his teeth and said: "Buy! Buy all!"
