After noon, Wei Peng called the team members and discussed splitting up.
Spring hunting is a collective activity, but they are still in the outskirts of the Yaoxi Mountain Forest. There are not many ferocious beasts and their strength is also low. They are allowed to hunt separately. At this time, all the trophies they hunt are personal trophies.
For newcomers, this is an appetizer before the main meal, and the old team members will take it with them to familiarize themselves first, so as not to make mistakes when hunting later.
Their team, together with the instructor Wei Peng, has a total of eleven people, four of whom are in the inner breath. Shao Zhengyang's strength is good and he is stable, so it's not a big problem, but the other three newcomers have to focus on arrangements.
Lu Mingshu and Gao Xiang didn't want to be separated, Wei Peng thought about it, and ordered three people to be with them. He himself called a good friend and took Le Xiaoyi himself. For a newcomer like Le Xiaoyi, no one wants to be burdened, so he can only do it by himself. The remaining three are together.
"Let's go, while the sun is still good, let's have a good start." The speaker was a round-faced woman in her early twenties, with long hair tied into a ponytail, very neat.
This round-faced woman is Yijiao, and her name is Jiao, but she looks like a typical Xichuan woman, with long legs and a thin waist, and a fit figure.
In addition to her, there are two Fusion Realms in the team, one is Zhu Jingliang, an elderly veteran with rich experience. The other is Lin Chen, who is about the same age as Yi Jiao, and seems to be quite familiar.
Frankly speaking, a team like them can only be counted as peripheral members. The real core team is composed of experienced and powerful people. Unlike their team, they were either old or young. Yi Jiao and Lin Chen could see that they had reached the fusion state not long ago, while Zhu Jingliang quickly retreated.
Zhu Jingliang led the team, and the group entered the forest. They walked slowly, observing the environment vigilantly as they walked.
Lu Mingshu's footsteps were a little heavier, and Yi Jiao raised her finger, making a gesture for her to silence her.
While walking, Zhu Jingliang suddenly stopped, looked at a tree root and frowned.
"There is a group of silver-armored rats." Zhu Jingliang said softly.
Yi Jiao and Lin Chen looked at each other, and each grabbed a small one. Yi Jiao whispered to Lu Mingshu: "Follow me, don't make a sound, don't force yourself, just fight."
With Lu Mingshu's guarantee, she let go.
Zhu Jingliang made two gestures, Yi Jiao and Lin Chen nodded, one led Lu Mingshu, the other took Gao Xiang, and parted ways.
Yijiao observed while walking, turned around a big tree, pulled some grass from the side of the tree, tied it into a grass ring, and threw it into the tree hole.
Then keep walking, stopping every now and then to throw grass rings into tree holes.
Lu Mingshu really wanted to ask, how did she observe, but Yijiao told her not to speak, so she could only bear it.
After walking all the way like this, they finally led Lu Mingshu to a small hillside.
Zhu Jingliang was already waiting there. There was a huge rock next to him, and half a hole was exposed under the rock.
After Yijiao came back, she stood aside and neither of them spoke.
After a while, there was a bird cry, and the two moved.
One person moved the boulder away, the other picked up the grass ring just now and lit it, and threw it into the hole...
Zhu Jingliang finally said: "You stay here and I will help Lin Chen."
Yi Jiao nodded: "Don't worry."
After lifting the mute state, Lu Mingshu seized the time to ask: "Senior sister, what were we doing just now?"
Yijiao said: "Silver rats like to burrow underground, and there are countless exits. We blocked all the openings to catch them."
"How do you make sure there is no leakage?"
"Well said." Yi Jiao snapped her fingers, "So you have to pray for luck and not miss it!"
Lu Mingshu blinked, not quite believing it: "Luck?"
Seeing her disbelief, Yi Jiao laughed and announced the answer: "Of course not. The total number of holes made by silver armored rats is nine, and two of them are the main entrances and exits. Lao Zhu and Lin Chen each block one. We only need to find seven holes." Just one."
"That grass..."
"Oh, this thing is the grass that silver beetles hate the most. If you throw this away, they won't go out of those holes." Yi Jiao said, and threw another group of ignited grass rings into it.
Lu Mingshu understood. Silver beetles hated the grass, and when forced by smoke, they wanted to go out, but they had to go through the hole that Lin Chen had found.
but-
"Then we won't meet again?" Lu Mingshu was very disappointed, "Are you just guarding in a daze?"
"Wouldn't it be better to stay in a daze?" Yijiao teased her, "You don't need to work too much, and the prey will get you a lot of points."
"But this will not achieve the purpose of experience!"
Yijiao just laughed: "You are quite serious! No wonder you are in the inner breath state at such a young age." Then she replied, "Don't worry, we won't be left empty. The burrows of silver armored rats are well built, and there are often other ferocious beasts living in it." In their holes..."
Just after finishing speaking, there was a rustling sound from the entrance of the cave, and then a black shadow flashed past.
With a "swipe", Yi Jiao drew her sword out of its sheath, and slashed.
A ferocious beast fell from mid-air.
Yijiao glanced at her and curled her lips: "It's really bad luck, I'm only in the body training state."
Lu Mingshu hurried over. This is a wild boar, which has just become a monster. After a whole winter, there is not much fat on its body.
Yi Jiao was too lazy to clean up, so Lu Mingshu started to drag the wild boar to the side.
"Senior Sister." She picked up the topic just now, "Isn't there nine exits? Other beasts are not afraid of this grass, so wouldn't they go through other exits?"
"Stay." Yi Jiao flicked her forehead, "How big are the other exits? They can't get out! If there are any that can get out, they are usually small animals. Even if we encounter small animals, we have to let them out. of."
"Oh..." That's right, if the little beast is also killed, how can there be prey in the coming year
There was another movement at the entrance of the cave, and Yijiao was on alert immediately.
Suddenly a shadow flashed out.
Yi Jiao swung her long sword to block the beast.
"I'll go and catch the big one!"
Lu Mingshu heard her nervous and excited voice.
The black shadow was blocked, and both of them fell down.
Lu Mingshu looked intently, it was a very strange beast. Horses are not like horses, and oxen are not like oxen. They wear hard armor and have horns on their heads.
Yijiao stared at this ferocious beast closely, and directed Lu Mingshu: "Don't come up, this is a white-hoofed rhinoceros in fusion state, take care of yourself."
In the Fusion Realm, it was such a strange beast again, Yi Jiao couldn't care about her anymore.
The white-hoofed rhino pawed its hind hoof, neighed, and rushed towards Yi Jiao.
Lu Mingshu obediently did not step forward, but he was unwilling to be a spectator, so after thinking about it, he simply set up traps around the perimeter.
Simple traps can cause limited damage to ferocious beasts, and the spring hunting in Jiuyao Palace focuses on honing skills, so using traps becomes opportunistic.
However, right now Yijiao is alone, if another beast comes, it will be dangerous. Lu Mingshu's doing this was considered adaptable.
Unexpectedly, just after she finished setting the trap, a series of black shadows flew out of the cave.
"Bah! Why is my mother so unlucky?" Yi Jiao cursed, "Blood scorpions, it's actually a group of blood scorpions!"
