Mu Yu has probably never been so close to a girl, let alone Lan Ling'er, who usually bickers with him, but at this moment Lan Ling'er is squatting on the branch, and Mu Yu is behind her , Mu Yu could see her fiery red clothes soaked with sweat, and could also smell Lan Ling'er's favorite orchid powder. He suddenly discovered that Lan Ling'er was actually very beautiful, but he had always been curious about why he had never appreciated it before. to her beauty.
"It's just a flame horse beast, what's there to be afraid of?" Mu Yu's hand was still held by Lan Ling'er, which made him pull it back, and it seemed like it wouldn't be a problem if he didn't pull it back.
Lan Ling'er made a silent gesture and whispered: "The Flame Horse Beast is a relatively advanced second-level monster. They usually do not appear in the surrounding forests. If this situation occurs, then it can only be said that someone We’re hunting them and there’s no need for us to get involved.”
"Senior sister, do you usually hold the second senior brother's hand like this?" Lan Ling'er's hand was very strong, and Mu Yu was a little painful from being caught.
Lan Ling'er also realized this, and immediately withdrew her hand and glared: "I should really kick you down!"
Before Mu Yu could speak, he was interrupted by a neighing sound. The sound of horse hoofbeats became heavier and heavier, rumbling on the ground, followed by a fiery red shadow that flashed out of the woods. The shadow was vaguely discernible. It was a horse, and its whole body was wrapped in flames, as if it were on fire. The flames burned black hoof prints on the ground, but what was amazing was that the dead leaves next to the black hoof prints showed no signs of burning.
Two figures followed the flame horse beast and appeared in Mu Yu's field of vision. They were in their thirties and had extremely extraordinary cultivation. They had reached the ninth level of Foundation Establishment. They seemed to be here specifically to hunt down and kill them. This flame horse beast's. However, Mu Yu is still very puzzled, because there is no value in hunting the Flame Horse beast. After the Flame Horse Beast dies, it will burn itself and turn into a pile of ashes, unless -
"This flame horse beast is pregnant." Lan Ling'er frowned and said.
Mu Yu also thought of this. Every night he listened to his master talk about various experiences in the world of cultivation, and he learned a lot. The master once told him that monsters like Yanmamon will burn themselves after death and leave no bones and fur. However, pregnant Yanmamon will be different. Pregnant Yanmamon will turn into a demon spirit after death.
Demonic spirits are a very rare thing. For example, third-level demonic beasts will condense demonic spirits after death. Demonic spirits are the essence of a demonic beast’s lifelong cultivation. They are a great tonic for cultivators and are helpful for improving their abilities. Cultivation goes a long way. A lifetime of cultivation in a golden elixir stage is condensed together, so one can imagine how precious it is. The third-level monsters are equivalent to the existence of the Golden Core Stage. If the demon spirits they produce are successfully absorbed by a person in the Foundation Establishment Stage, it can save the practitioner in the Foundation Establishment Stage at least two years of cultivation time!
However, third-level monsters are not easy to hunt even for humans at the Golden Core stage, so monster spirits are extremely precious. Although Yanmamon is a second-level monster, it can condense demon spirits when it is pregnant. Therefore, pregnant Yanmamon has become the target of many cultivators.
Generally speaking, it is shameful for many principled people to do this kind of thing of exterminating children and grandchildren. However, in the world of cultivation, there are always those who abandon principles for the sake of profit, which has also led to a sharp decline in the number of Flame Horse Beasts.
Adult flame horse beasts are of no value to cultivators at all. They have no demon spirits and will not leave any fur. The problem is that cultivators do not give them the chance to reach adulthood.
The flame horse beast was obviously injured. From time to time, something similar to magma burst out from its body. That was their blood. The blood splashed on the ground only made burn marks. Some people say that Yanmamon is a descendant of the Huoyumeng Demon Clan, which may be correct, but the Huoyumeng Demon Clan's intelligence is no less than that of humans, and the reason why monster beasts are called monster beasts is because they are not as intelligent as humans.
The two cultivators were both at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment. Each of them held a short sword, which was extremely sharp. They blocked the front of the Flame Horse Beast. The short sword circled in the air and attacked the Flame Horse Beast from time to time. The other person had a golden circle on his hand, which was suddenly big and small, blocking the Flame Horse's retreat, waiting for an opportunity to tie up the Flame Horse.
"Sister, although Yanmamon is a monster, is it too much for a pregnant Yanmamon to be hunted?" Mu Yu was a little angry. No matter how you behave, you should have some principles. If everyone hunts for demon spirits, If you kill the pregnant Flame Horsemon, where will there be any shadow of Flame Horse Beast in the future
Lan Ling'er shook her head: "This is other people's business, and we won't get involved. If you want to live a long time in the world of cultivation, the best way is not to meddle in others' affairs."
"No matter what, hunting and killing a pregnant Flame Horse is an act condemned by God. I will not sit idly by."
Mu Yu likes life and loves life. He doesn't like hunting monsters. The moment the monster fell, he could clearly feel the passing of life. It was a sad feeling, as if someone had sucked it dry. The essence in their bodies makes people feel gray.
In this world of predators, he grew up among a group of hunters. He accepted that hunters would ruthlessly wield their butcher knives on their prey because the hunters needed to survive. If given the choice between humans and other creatures, he would choose humans.
Every time the eldest brother was hunting monsters, he would always turn his eyes elsewhere appropriately. He didn't like that feeling. If they didn't hunt the monsters, they wouldn't be able to exchange enough spiritual stones for consumption in the city, and they wouldn't be able to buy the daily necessities they needed, so he acquiesced in the matter of hunting the monsters.
But if it was a pregnant monster, then he couldn't bear it. The master told him that he should follow his own principles and not do anything that is harmful to nature.
Even if the hunters in the village used to go out to hunt wild beasts, they would not kill pregnant wild beasts. Ordinary people know that if you do the job of exterminating your children and grandchildren, it will be difficult to make a living in the future.
"You are not allowed to go." Lan Ling'er held Mu Yu's hand firmly. Her cultivation level was higher than that of Mu Yu, and Mu Yu couldn't get rid of her for a while.
"Regardless of whether this is the right thing to do, even if we go down, we can't resist it with the cultivation of those two people. If we go down rashly, not only will we not be able to save the pregnant Flame Horse Beast, but we will also get ourselves involved. You Can't you be smarter when doing things? You need to think of other ideas for this matter."
However, Lan Ling'er's idea didn't come true, and everything came too late. The flame horse beast could no longer hold on under the siege of the two foundation-building ninth-level cultivators. It looked up to the sky and screamed sadly, as if it was confiding something. The sound was like a resentful elegy in Mu Yu's ears, and it lingered for a long time. Then there was a muffled sound, and the Flame Horse Beast's huge body fell to the ground, as if it hit Mu Yu's heart, making Mu Yu's heart stop for a beat.
The flames all over its body seem to burn more intensely, as if interpreting the last fire of life, burning, the fire of life is burning, they burn for a lifetime, and end with the most splendid fireworks when they die, carrying them with them in their belly. The unborn little flame horse finally burned.
The fetus in the belly of the Flame Horse beast bloomed with golden light, appearing brighter. The golden light kept beating, and finally turned into a rainbow light, which gradually dissipated, leaving only a pile of ashes and a fist-sized demon spirit on the ground. , where the remaining smoke was silently rising, illuminating two ecstatic but greedy faces.
Lan Ling'er opened her mouth wide. Normally, she would not be merciful when hunting monsters. However, such a monster made her a little unspeakable. Hunting a pregnant monster for the sake of the monster, this kind of thing doesn't matter. She couldn't do it no matter what. She just judged the situation, but it was irreversible.
Mu Yu quietly looked at the demon spirit held in the hands of the two cultivators. He imagined that little life that had not yet been born, and was looking forward to seeing the world, but the world only welcomed it. The cold hunter couldn't be born smoothly for the sake of the precious demon spirit. Maybe it would be a good thing not to be born, at least he wouldn't have to feel the evil of human nature.
Is the existence of cultivators really just to compete with the Yumon Demon Clan
Mu Yu clenched his fists, his eyes became cold, and an invisible gray light flashed from his eyes.
