Zhu Changyang put away the jade tablet and took the developers to collect the monkey corpses in the forest into bags one by one.
The skin, bones, and scales of monsters are all very good materials, and the meat can also be freeze-dried, so of course it cannot be wasted.
After collecting the animal corpses, the developer rolled on the ground and turned into the size of a kitten again, following Zhu Changyang with a harmless look on his face.
Zhu Changyang retrieved the hunting rifle. The non-ash wood and ladder teeth used to make the hunting rifle were both excellent spiritual materials, so they were not blown to pieces, but only broke into two pieces.
He turned over his palm and ignited the spiritual fire to repair it.
After the repairs were completed, Jun Shu finally had a signal and replied to his message.
Jun Shu: [Just go hunting, I will find a way to find you.]
Zhu Changyang: [Okay.]
Jun Shu: [Please remember the kisses of the past two days and count them together after we go out.]
Zhu Changyang: “…”
When everyone was concerned about whether they had enough demon pills, only Brother Jun was concerned about whether he had enough kisses.
The original intention remains unchanged.
Zhu Changyang: [Okay.]
After replying to the message, the man and the cat stood up and walked out of the woods together.
The Unnamed Domain is truly vast, with wild mountains, wastelands, sandy swamps, as well as chaotic aura and small mazes everywhere.
Zhu Changyang was just worrying about which way to go when the developer meowed and ran in one direction first.
Zhu Changyang seemed to have sensed something and hurriedly followed.
Not long after, the developer slowed down his pace, tiptoed around, and turned back to give Zhu Changyang a sharp look.
Developers usually act stupid and it's rare for them to be so sharp.
Zhu Changyang immediately restrained his breath, raised his hunting rifle, and moved his feet carefully.
The developer took him around a bend and they saw a big rock. The black cat jumped lightly onto the rock and used it to hide its body.
Seeing this, Zhu Changyang also crouched down and slowly looked over the stone.
From a distance, I saw two pigs huddled together, hiding behind a bush of thorns.
The two pigs looked very wild, with black hair all over their bodies and two huge fangs growing on their mouths. The two pig heads were placed one in front of the other, and their black eyes were vigilantly observing the surroundings.
Further away, two monks holding magical weapons were approaching cautiously.
Zhu Changyang added a scope to the gun barrel, poked the muzzle out of the stone, aimed at one of the pig heads, and pulled the trigger.
The pig was hit by a bullet without any warning, and immediately let out a scream, falling to the ground and twitching. Strangely, the other pig's head also fell down and started howling.
The developer roared and leaped over like lightning, without even changing into his original form, and directly bit through the neck of the other pig head.
The two monks in the distance were startled and tried to make hand gestures quickly.
Zhu Changyang appeared at the right time: "Daoyou, calm down, this is my cat."
The two monks then put down their magic weapons, looked at him in confusion, and then looked at the black cat biting the pig's neck.
One person said angrily, "You are so capable, fellow Daoist. We chased and sealed him for half a day, but you captured him in an instant."
"And seal?" Zhu Changyang blinked, "Isn't this a wild boar?"
The man's mouth twitched slightly: "Have you ever seen a wild boar with two heads?"
Zhu Changyang looked down and realized that those were not two pigs huddled together, but a monster with a pig's head on the front and back.
This monster called "Bingfeng" is extremely difficult to hunt because it has heads in front and back and can observe different directions at the same time.
The two monks took great pains to find Bing Feng's whereabouts, but they were intercepted by Zhu Changyang.
Another person asked in confusion: "What kind of magic did you use just now? How come it was so quiet?"
It was really strange that even Lian Bingfeng was so alert, but he was knocked down by one blow without noticing anything.
Zhu Changyang smiled slightly and said vaguely: "It is our sect's unique magic weapon."
The two of them didn't ask any more questions, but they were somewhat tempted.
The first person said, "I see that you are all alone, would you like to consider joining forces with us?"
Another person echoed, "I am a disciple of the Four Extremes Sect. Our sect's tracking technique can detect the traces of monsters. This brother is a sword cultivator with great skills. If you join us, with your magic weapon, we will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort. What do you think about the beast pills we hunt being divided equally among the three of us?"
The Unnamed Region is vast, and most of the monsters are very sensitive and good at hiding their tracks. Therefore, many people will find someone to team up with after entering the examination room.
Among them, disciples of the Talisman Sect, the Law Sect and the Sword Sect are the most popular, because the first two are good at finding traces, and the latter has explosive combat power, which can greatly improve hunting efficiency.
However, in the later stage, when the competition becomes fierce and many disciples from different sects gradually gather together, this temporary combination will automatically break up, and they may even fight each other.
The two monks in front of us are the most classic and popular combination at present.
If it was within an hour, Zhu Changyang might really accept their invitation. The main reason was that he was not good at tracking, and it was indeed a problem for him to find monsters.
As for now, he glanced at the developer thoughtfully and declined their invitation.
The two had no choice but to give up and leave with regret.
The developer jumped in front of Zhu Changyang and "yue" out the beast pill he had just taken out.
This beast is a second-level monster, and its beast core is red.
Zhu Changyang put away the beast pill and the two-headed demon pig, then patted the developer on the head and said, "It's up to you from now on."
The developer tilted his head, his eyes wise: "Meow~"
Zhu Changyang's guess was correct. The developer was extremely sensitive to the breath of monsters. It was not known whether it was the instinct of the monster tiger or some other reason, but sometimes it could detect the traces of monsters across a mountain. Its magic was even more powerful than that of a talisman cultivator.
So in the next few days, Zhu Changyang updated Jun Shu's location through the jade edict, and at the same time cooperated with the developer to beat up the monsters and get beast pills.
Shen Zha was probably inspired by Zhu Changyang, so he didn't dare to slack off anymore and started to take the exam seriously. However, every time he took a break after dark, he would still pop up in the group and share the latest gossip with his friends.
Due to the popularity of the group chat function, the news of this competition spread particularly quickly, especially for a few star players, who almost became the hot topics in the group chat.
Among them, Kunlun's expedition of thousands of miles attracted the most attention.
Wanli Zheng not only killed a fourth-level 箬犬 on the first day, but every day after that he seemed to have a cheat, killing at least a dozen monsters every day, and most of them were third-level.
By the seventh day, his score had reached an astonishing 6,000 points.
This not only requires super strong combat power, but also extremely keen insight to be able to detect such a large number of monsters.
This kind of feat usually requires the cooperation of a sect, but Wanli Zheng's strength lies in the fact that it is said that he has always fought alone, without even the cooperation of his fellow disciples.
Apart from Wanli Zheng, the second on the list in points is Yong Zhoutian's Hou Shiyun, who currently has more than 3,000 points.
However, Shen Zha heard some gossip from other groups that Hou Shiyun was able to accumulate so many points mainly thanks to the cooperation of Yong Zhoutian’s other disciples. After everyone discovered the monster, they gave priority to Hou Shiyun.
This is also a common strategy of some sects, where weaker disciples are only guaranteed a basic qualifying score, and then they fully cooperate with elite disciples to create sect stars.
However, it is said that Yong Zhoutian did not do this before, and this time it was probably instructed by Elder Hou.
As for "on the surface", it is because Zhu Changyang's points are actually higher than Hou Shiyun's, but he has always been riding alone for thousands of miles, and he is not as popular as Wanlizheng, where people take pictures of him wherever he goes, so his results are not updated in real time.
Below Hou Shiyun, there are Ming Rusu of Zhancang Sect, Hai Qingshan of Jijin Sect, Nan Rongbo of Hehuan Palace, Tan Tai Buqi of Mishan Sect and Hou Shiyun's junior fellow apprentice Yu Sigong, all of whom have achieved outstanding results and often appear in the group's hot topics.
In a blink of an eye, it was the tenth day, and Jun Shu told Zhu Changyang that the distance between them was not far.
In fact, Zhu Changyang could vaguely feel Jun Shu's presence without Jun Shu telling him. This should be the power of the blood contract.
Thinking that he would be able to see Jun Shu soon, Zhu Changyang breathed a sigh of relief, with an indescribable joy in his heart.
This was the first time since he traveled through time that he had been separated from Jun Shu for such a long time, and it was also the first time that he missed someone so intensely. It turned out that Jun Shu had unknowingly occupied such a heavy place in his heart.
After sending the message to Jun Shu, the message [I have a bosom friend in the Nine Realms] also appeared.
Chang Fengchi: [Friends, I'm leaving first.]
Shen Zha: [What's going on?]
Chang Fengchi explained that he had just encountered a group of demon wolves and was accidentally surrounded. He could neither defeat them nor escape, so he had no choice but to use a teleportation talisman.
His points were not high, which meant that he would stop here in this sect competition.
People in the group came forward and said a few words of comfort.
Chang Fengchi was quite open-minded. With his strength, it was a pleasant surprise that he could survive until now.
Don't forget to cheer for others.
Zhu Changyang didn't say anything more, just said: "Then be careful when you go back, and have a safe trip."
Jun Shu: [Bon voyage]
Jun Shu has been thinking about Zhu Changyang since he entered the Weiming Domain. He ignored all other messages and has never shown up in the group.
His sudden appearance at this time surprised everyone.
Shen Zha: [Brother Jun, you actually showed up! ]
Jun Shu: [Any comments?]
Shen Zha: [No, I am happy! ]
Shen Zha: [By the way, how many points have you accumulated now? ]
Since Jun Shu had not shown up, no one knew his situation. He rarely appeared, so the gossip prince couldn't suppress his curiosity.
Jun Shu: [19 points]
Shen Zhe: [? ]
Jun Shu: [Any comments?]
Shen Zha: [No, I'm shocked! This is not Brother Jun's strength! ]
Zhu Changyang's points have been increasing rapidly in the past few days, and Shen Zha is very excited.
In his opinion, Jun Shu's strength is much stronger than Zhu Changyang, so his points should definitely not be less.
Jun Shu said succinctly: [I am not in the mood to look for monsters.]
This was the truth. He didn't care about the competition at all. He had been concentrating on finding Zhu Changyang these days and took things as they came.
It was also because he was unlucky that he didn't encounter any monsters along the way.
Especially in recent days, the monsters have noticed the monks' hunting activities and have become more cautious. Except for groups of beasts, all others have basically gone dormant.
Jun Shu didn't care, but there was silence in the group.
Brother Jun is really good at pretending!
This is a competition!
After a moment.
Shen Zha: [When will Brother Jun be in the mood to look for monsters? ]
Ming Rusu rarely showed up: [Young Master Jun, are you worried about something? You'd better adjust your mood quickly. Although there is still a lot of time, there are fewer and fewer monsters, so it will be more difficult to catch them.]
Hua Qingdai: [I don't know where you are now, Master Jun. Do you have any herbs by your side? I have a recipe for regulating your mind that I'd like to give you to try.]
Jun Shu didn't reply for a long time.
Shen Zha thought he was ignoring her again, and couldn't help but feel anxious: [Brother Jun, what my sister said makes sense. You'd better pay more attention. I'm afraid there aren't many beast pills left for you. ]
Zhu Changyang was also a little surprised when he saw this. Although Jun Shu had a bad temper, his attitude towards these friends was still okay. He shouldn't ignore them deliberately.
So I wanted to ask.
At this time Jun Shu finally appeared again.
Jun Shu: [No, I have 2,320 points now]
The group was obviously shocked and there was no message for a long time.
After a while.
Shen Zha: [Brother Jun encountered a herd of beasts? ]
Shen Zha: [Did we encounter a fourth-level monster? ! ! ]
This jump in score cannot be explained except by encountering a herd of beasts and a fourth-level monster.
But even if he suddenly encountered a herd of beasts, it was only a quarter of an hour since his last message. This hunting speed was too amazing!
Wan Li Zheng would kneel down after seeing this!
Jun Shu: [No.]
Jun Shu: [Just now, a few people ran out and tried to rob my beast pills. I beat them up, and then they gave me all the beast pills they had.]
Jun Shu then sent out Zhu Changyang's favorite sentence: [Thank you fellow Taoists for your gifts]
Shen Zhe: […]
Ming Rusu, Hua Qingdai, Chang Fengchi: […]
