Gu Sheng carried the bear carcass and did not go to Gu Family Village. Instead, he found a hidden cave and began to process the bear carcass. He would take it back to the village after nightfall so that others would not notice it.
He didn't intend to reveal that he had hunted another blind bear.
This is not in line with the normal combat power of a stone-skin warrior. An occasional tiger with a broken leg is okay, but if he hunts injured large beasts one after another, he will easily be suspected.
With Dacheng Snake Breathing Technique, Gu Sheng can easily avoid the patrols of the warriors in the village.
In fact, the frequency of patrols in Waizhuang is also very low, and even many warriors will not come here, otherwise the wolves would not be so slow to react when they entered the village before.
Late at night.
Gu Sheng When he returned home, he took a deep breath, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.
After playing several sets of Iron Stone Fist, I am still a little anxious.
When handling the bear carcass, he discovered that the flesh and blood of the wild bear was indeed much shriveled, as if something had sucked away some of its essence, which made Gu Sheng feel a little frightened.
" Something is definitely born in the depths of Cang Mountain. You must not go there again during this period!"
His eyes were firm and he was determined, intending to remind Gu Erniu several closely related hunters that it would be best not to go hunting in the mountains in the near future.
Even if the frequency of large beasts really increased during this period, he would not be jealous. If the thing in the mountain really escaped, it would be really difficult. He had finally cultivated to the Blood Refining Realm, but he couldn't capsize in the gutter here.
Gu Sheng remained as cautious as ever and did not become arrogant as his strength became stronger.
The next day.
Gu Sheng indirectly reminded Gu Erniu Zhang Ze and others. The reason is that there have been more large beasts in the mountains recently, and it is best to wait until the limelight has passed. Zhang Ze and others naturally responded well, because just yesterday, Dahe Village had a warrior over there who also hunted a big insect!
Zhang Ze and others are not fools. Large beasts are not something ordinary hunters should touch.
Without a warrior to lead the team, even if the beast is hunted
In the past few years, we didn't see each other in a year, but recently they appear together, which is really weird.
Seeing that Gu Erniu and others listened, Gu Sheng felt a little relieved.
He emphasized it to Gu Erniu again in private, and Gu Erniu nodded repeatedly, paying even more attention to it. Gu Erniu knew Gu Sheng's cautious character very well, and the reminder now was definitely not without purpose.
But not everyone will be afraid.
Some people think this is a God-given opportunity. If you can't deal with the big bug alone, then form a team to kill it!
There were even warriors who took the lead and led the team into the mountains.
after all.
A big insect or a blind bear is worth dozens of taels of silver. The average Skin Refining stage warrior will be tempted. Even a part of it is a good gain.
Word slowly spread around the nearby village and fort, and even beyond.
Gu Sheng also received an invitation from Tongzhuang warriors.
A Iron Skin martial artist led a team into the mountains to look for opportunities to hunt wild beasts. Gu Sheng is a famous archer. If he could join, hunting would undoubtedly be much easier.
Outside the shed, a young warrior named Gu Jinmu is inviting Gu Sheng.
"A Sheng, warrior training does not require resources. You must be short of money now. The frequency of wild beasts appearing in the mountains has greatly increased. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you and I work together, with your archery skills and my strength, we will definitely have a good harvest, and we can even hunt more than one!"
"When the time comes, with the resources for cultivation, martial arts will progress faster in the future."
This young man has a somewhat resolute face. Although he comes from the master's family, he does not receive many resources. When he sees this opportunity, he naturally cannot hold back.
Gu Sheng looked at Gu Jinmu and declined:
"Brother Jinmu, I am also very moved, but these days I have gained insights from practicing Iron Stone Fist, and I don't want to interrupt. I can only thank you for your kindness."
Gu Jinmu's expression froze. He didn't expect that Gu Sheng would refuse such a good opportunity.
He was a bit incomprehensible.
Gu Sheng Since he rejected the marriage request of the clan elders, it means that he does not want to be restricted. In this case, he should obtain resources at all costs, otherwise how can martial arts be brave and advanced.
As for not wanting to interrupt Iron Stone Fist's cultivation, it is most likely an excuse.
"A Sheng, you..."
Gu Jinmu looked at Gu Sheng with some confusion. He didn't have much interaction with Gu Sheng. They only guarded the purchasing team once together, but he had a good sense of Gu Sheng.
Although Gu Sheng doesn't talk much and doesn't like to socialize, he still felt that Gu Sheng was a person he could get along with after a brief encounter, so he thought of taking this opportunity to get closer to him and strengthen his network. Gu Sheng's archery skills are still valued by many people.
Gu Sheng apologized:
"I really don't have time recently. If I have some free time later, I can come and help Brother Kaneki. However, I heard that several villages and fortresses around have hunted wild beasts recently. Brother Kaneki had better be careful and wait for what the clan elders say."
Gu Jinmu suddenly felt enlightened.
"It turns out that I am worried about danger. In the end, I am from a humble background and have little courage and knowledge..."
There was a subtle change in his eyes, but it was not shown.
"That's all, Asheng, please think about it carefully..."
Gu Jinmu turned and left.
Gu Sheng slowly shook his head. As a master of the Blood Refining Realm, Gu Jinmu could naturally feel the fleeting contempt and ridicule in his eyes, but he would not care. If something really happened, he would regret it.
He has already reminded Gu Jinmu, which is the most benevolent thing. Even if he reveals his guess, he will probably think that he does not want to take risks.
Again.
Whether this is a danger or an opportunity is indeed just Gu Sheng's guess. If Gu Jinmu listens to Gu Sheng's persuasion and does not go into the mountain, and other people gain a lot in the future, and maybe even become enemies, then there is no need.
Life and death are determined by fate and wealth. Gu Sheng only needs to take care of himself. Even if Zhang Ze and others do not listen to persuasion, he will not stop them.
After closing the courtyard door, Gu Sheng started practicing on his own.
Next, he only needs to wait quietly for the Black Market Auction to arrive. Counting the profits brought by the wild bear the day before, he can collect three hundred taels of silver before the black market, and should be able to buy what he wants.
The next few days.
Gu Sheng practiced quietly at home and took medicinal baths twice. The effect of Blood Nourishing Powder is still the same as before for the time being.
But Gu Sheng has begun to notice that the power of the medicine is weakening. After that, if the flesh and blood wants to continue to transform, either more Blood Nourishing Powder will be needed, and then more precious medicine will be needed.
This means more resources.
This gave Gu Sheng a headache, and he kept thinking about how to make money.
But this is not something that can be done in a hurry. Gu Sheng can only calm down.
Just when Gu Sheng thought he could safely wait until Black Market Auction was turned on, something unexpected happened.
He didn't expect the accident to come so quickly.
After Gu Jinmu and others chose to enter the mountain, at least a dozen warriors from the surrounding villages and fortresses took the hunters into the mountain to hunt. In just a few days, the surrounding situation was turbulent. With too many people entering the mountain, many people were approaching the mountains without knowing it.
This time, it immediately caused a disaster!
In one day, everyone who entered the mountain, whether they were warriors or ordinary people, died one after another, and not even one out of ten was able to come out!
And only in the extreme periphery can one escape.
The mountain forest is filled with the smell of blood, which makes people's hair stand on end.
In the deep mountains, a bloodthirsty demon fox appeared out of nowhere. After being angered by someone, it was killed out of the mountains. All human beings are not the same enemy. Whenever they meet, they will end up having their flesh and blood sucked dry.
Warriors are no exception and have no power to resist.
Gu Jinmu failed to come out of the mountains.
When Gu Sheng heard the news, he remained silent for a long time. He was glad that he had withdrawn early and held back his heartbeat, otherwise he would have ended up like Gu Jinmu!
Judging from the descriptions of the survivors alone, this demon fox is not something Blood Refining Realm warriors can deal with.
Gu Jinmu's death did not cause too much trouble in Gu Sheng's heart. The key was another person.
Zhang Ze.
Gu Sheng has been practicing at home these days. Unexpectedly, Zhang Ze followed Gu Jinmu into the mountains.
"A Sheng, A Ze..."
Gu Erniu's eyes were a little red. He and Zhang Ze grew up together, and they often went hunting together in the mountains. It was very sad to see Zhang Ze end up like this.
Gu Sheng was also a little silent.
Zhang Ze can be regarded as one of the people he has more contact with in Gu Family Village. Although the relationship is not as close as Gu Erniu, there is still some friendship.
Zhang Ze died, so it was impossible for him not to be shaken at all.
"Aze did it for his son. Gu Jinmu needed an Orion to take him into the mountains and promised to allocate a share. He came to me. I was not moved, but Aze was moved..."
Gu Erniu covered his face with a painful expression.
"A Sheng, you clearly reminded him, but in the end, A Ze still..."
Gu Sheng patted Gu Erniu on the shoulder and sighed.
This is determined by character.
When Zhang Ze went hunting in the mountains for the first time, he acted recklessly and was almost stabbed by a wild boar. Perhaps this fate was destined to happen.
Zhang Ze has always had a bit of a gambler in him. That wild boar hunt turned the corner of hell, and he became much more restrained. However, nature is easy to change, and Gu Sheng became a warrior, making all hunters envious.
Whether it is Gu Erniu or Zhang Ze, they are all secretly determined to let their children practice martial arts.
But resources are a topic that can never be avoided.
If you want to be successful in martial arts, money is a must, so Zhang Ze was only interested after Gu Jinmu came to your door.
Gu Sheng comforted in a low voice:
"Let's help Brother Ze's family more from now on..."
Gu Erniu nodded silently.
In this world, it's not easy to live without a man in the family. No matter how much everyone helps, there are some things that can't be replaced. All we can do is try our best.
"Now, let's see how the village handles it."
After such a big thing happened, it was naturally impossible for Gu Family Village to not react.
In Gu Family Village alone, there were more than twenty people folded inside, including several warriors, and others were hunters and medicine farmers. If those from other villages and castles were included, the death toll would be over a hundred.
Gu Family Village meeting hall.
Gu Family Village The three masters and the clan elders were all sitting with serious expressions. Cang Mountain They had already learned everything about what happened.
In fact, they knew about the abnormal appearance of the large beast a few days ago, but before they had time to react, something like this happened.
"It's a pity that kid Kaneki..."
One clan elder sighed.
But more people are thinking about how to deal with it. Cang Mountain has fed a large number of people in the nearby village and fort, and now there is a demon fox taking over. If it is not solved, there will be big problems in the long run.
"This demon fox is different from the demon wolf discovered the year before last. It sucks blood essence. The concentration of demon blood is definitely much thicker than that of the demon wolf. Not a Blood Refining Realm warrior can deal with it."
Gu Changming said in a deep voice.
If they could, of course they would also want to hunt down this demon fox. By then, Gu Family Village's background would definitely be even better.
Although the monster is powerful, its whole body is full of treasures, which is very helpful to human warriors.
It's a pity that the three masters of Gu Family Village came out together, most likely to deliver food.
"If you can't deal with it, let others deal with it!"
"Send this news to the magistrate!"
Great Clan Elder stomped the cane in his hand and shouted in a deep voice. He had gray hair, but his eyes were bright and clear.
"There is no room for Erhu in this mountain. Black Sand Gang will have a battle with the magistrate sooner or later. This time we must take sides, otherwise Gu Family Village's life will be even more difficult in the future. With the strength of the magistrate, there should be no problem in dealing with this demon fox. We will pass this news on and we will be on the same front as the magistrate from now on!"
He glanced at Gu Changming and said:
"Chang Ming, without further ado, come over and say that we, Gu Family Village, are willing to send out experts to help the magistrate hunt the demon fox!"
Everyone nodded slowly, all agreeing with Great Clan Elder's decision.
Gu Changming is categorical:
"Okay! I'll leave now, lest Black Sand Gang get the news first!"
This is most likely a demon fox that is comparable to master Bone Refining Realm. It is enough to make the county magistrate Liu Yuanhu and Black Sand Gang Zhao Honglie very excited. Even if it cannot make their strength go further, it is enough to make the masters under their command stronger.
Now it's time to rush.
See who can get the news first.
After Gu Sheng sent Gu Erniu away, he practiced silently at home. The slightest trace of complacency he had felt in breaking through the Blood Refining Realm had completely dissipated. In this world, dangers are everywhere, and Blood Refining Realm is not enough.
He needs to become stronger.
late at night.
The sound of trampling horseshoes woke Gu Sheng up.
Waves of strong energy and blood were as eye-catching as fireflies in the dark night. Gu Sheng's heart trembled, so many Blood Refining Realm masters!
But he didn't feel any murderous intent.
It was obvious that he was not here to destroy Gu Family Village, which made Gu Sheng feel at ease.
"Which force is this? County magistrate Liu Yuanhu or?"
Gu Sheng understood the plan of the Gu Family Village clan elders. It was because he could not deal with the demon fox, so he simply invited others. Perhaps he took this news as a step forward.
I have to say that the Gu Family Village elders responded very quickly.
If it were a little slower, the news would be worthless.
Gu Sheng looked at the group of warriors arriving late at night and paused in the direction of the master's house from a distance, which confirmed his guess.
He contained his curiosity very well and had no intention of spying.
In fact, there is no need to spy, it is not difficult to guess.
In the whole Canghe County, there are not many people with this strength. Black Sand Gang is a pest that has been sucking blood in Gu Family Village for many years. Gu Family Village will definitely not choose cheap Black Sand Gang, so there is a high probability that it is the county magistrate Liu Yuanhu.
"They will probably go into the mountains tomorrow. It's a good idea to deal with this demon fox as soon as possible..."
Gu Sheng said silently in his heart.
If the demon fox is not dealt with, it will always be a knife hanging over the heads of the surrounding villages and forts. Although the demon fox was not killed this time, if there had been a sudden killing spree that day, the casualties would have been much heavier than this time.
Gu Sheng also doesn't want to be in this kind of environment all the time.
He closed his eyes to rest and waited silently.
really.
The sky turned slightly white, and Gu Family Village a Dao Body shadow sped out, heading towards Cang Mountain. To his surprise, no one came to notify him of this hunting of the demon fox.
Originally Gu Sheng thought that since he was good at archery and hunted in the mountains all year round, he would be called to lead the way together.
However, this was good, Gu Sheng was relieved in his heart, to avoid being in danger, and to avoid the trouble of having to hide his cultivation when the time comes.
He was still very afraid of monsters that were different from human beings.
It would have been better for him to stay back.
After dawn.
Gu Xiaojiang came to the door worried.
Gu Sheng also knew the whole story. The people who entered the mountain this time were all Blood Refining Realm warriors. Not a single Skin Refining stage warrior was brought with them, let alone ordinary hunters.
And he also knew that those who came were indeed warriors under Liu Yuanhu, and he even came in person.
He attaches great importance to this demon fox.
When a group of the Blood Refining Realm warriors go into the mountains to hunt, the efficiency will naturally be several times higher, and the soldiers are very fast. If Liu Yuanhu wants to capture this demon fox quickly, it would be a waste of time to bring ordinary hunters with them.
"A Sheng, my father also went into the mountains together..."
Gu Xiaojiang is a little worried. Since Gu Dajiang was injured the year before last, his strength has dropped a lot. He is at the bottom among the Blood Refining Realm. At this time, he went into the mountains to hunt for a powerful demon fox. He was worried about encountering danger.
Gu Sheng could only pat his shoulder and comfort him:
"Instructor Gu and Lord Changming also went into the mountain together. They will take good care of Uncle Dajiang. Don't worry."
This Gu Family Village is a big gamble.
The only three Blood Refining Realm masters all accompanied Liu Yuanhu into the mountain in order to gain Liu Yuanhu's trust. If something unexpected happened during this hunt, it would definitely be a disaster!
But with Liu Yuanhu, a master like Bone Refining Realm, leading the team, it won't be that dangerous.
Gu Xiaojiang looked in the direction of Cang Mountain and kept drinking. Under this situation, he had no intention of practicing martial arts.
Gu Sheng can only accompany him and can understand Gu Xiaojiang's concerns.
He was also worried.
If something really happened to Gu Family Village, the days of stability that had just finally begun would be broken again.
Time passed slowly, as if the entire Gu Family Village was shrouded in haze.
Ordinary tenant farmers don't know yet, but everyone who knows the news is uneasy.
The sun sets in the west.
Just when the two of them thought that everyone entering the mountain would probably have to spend the night in the mountain, Gu Sheng's eyes suddenly moved, and they vaguely noticed a large group of energy and blood fluctuations rushing towards them.
Thoughts swirled in his mind.
"You're back? Did you find the demon fox?"
Soon, shouts came from outside the hospital.
"Xiao Jiang, Xiao Jiang! Go to the master's meeting hall quickly, your father and the others are back!"
There was irrepressible joy in that voice.
Obviously.
This time, Gu Family Village won the bet!
