Chapter 20
Hunting the Demon Rabbit!
Snapped!
Guan Yue panicked and instinctively used her right hand to grab a short stick and slap away Sun Wen's outstretched hand.
"Pharmacist Sun, please be careful!" She took a few steps back, her tone urgent.
"You shameless slut, what are you pretending for? You've seduced those guys from the village hunting team countless times, what's wrong with you hanging out with me for a little while?!"
Upon seeing this, Sun Wen's face instantly darkened.
Guan Yue's face turned ashen. She drew her short sword from her waist and pointed it at him. "Sun Wen, you'd better watch your mouth!"
"Wait, let's talk this out. There's no need to resort to knives."
Upon seeing the flash of the sword's cold light, Sun Wen's expression changed slightly, but he pretended to remain calm.
He is a pharmacist, but his cultivation is only at the third level of the Qi and Blood Realm, and he has never experienced combat.
If it really came down to a fight, he might not be a match for Guan Yue.
"Give me the healing pills!"
"Alright, alright, here you go."
Sun Wen threw the cloth bag he was holding over.
Guan Yue caught it and quickly walked out of the room.
"Damn slut."
Sun Wen lowered his head.
Looking at the red mark on his hand, he felt waves of burning pain.
He thought that after the hunting team was gone, he would have a chance to win over Guan Yue, but he didn't expect her to be so difficult to deal with.
Sun Wen's eyes flashed with a sinister light, and he cursed under his breath.
"I'll make you submit one day!"
……
Guan Yue's face was tense after she left Sun Wen's courtyard.
The villagers all thought of her as a promiscuous widow who relied on men and her looks to earn a living in this world.
People are foolish, and she couldn't argue with them, so she simply let them be.
She had encountered many lecherous men like Sun Wen, so she had always been very careful and always carried a knife with her.
Guan Yue knew deep down that only by becoming strong herself could she better protect herself.
Therefore, she never slacked off in her cultivation, and often went into the Black Mountain alone to fight with wild beasts and hone her fighting skills.
After struggling for so many years, he is still only at the third level of the Qi and Blood Realm.
Therefore, he was often injured and had to come to Sun Wen to exchange for healing pills.
Collective action is ultimately far more effective than individual effort.
Those who have just joined the hunting team can quickly improve their strength by getting a share of monster meat.
Every day, she had to risk her life to hunt down a single monster in Black Mountain, and there was also the risk of being ambushed and killed by other monsters.
How difficult it is for a person to survive in this world.
But most of the people who approached her had ill intentions and were not trustworthy at all.
Moreover, because of what her deceased husband had done before his death, most of the villagers disliked her and even rejected and suppressed her.
"If there were a chance to leave Black Mountain Village..."
Guan Yue couldn't help but let her imagination run wild.
He then shook his head.
One needs to reach at least the ninth level of the Qi and Blood Realm to have the confidence to leave Black Mountain Village.
Her strength was too weak, and this idea was too far-fetched for her.
"Old Liu, how about working for us? We've already killed three monsters in the last two days, and each of us got a full five catties of monster meat!"
"Forget it... I'm only at the second level of the Qi and Blood Realm, I can't be of any help to you, so I won't go."
"Hey, what are you afraid of? As long as you have the nourishment of demon beast meat, you'll be able to break through to the third level of the Qi and Blood Realm very quickly."
"No, no..."
I happened to pass by a village house.
The door was wide open at that moment.
In the courtyard, a burly middle-aged man kept trying to persuade the thin old Liu.
Standing behind Lao Liu were his wife and two children.
Their eyes lit up when they heard they could get a share of the monster's meat.
I wish I could agree on behalf of my father.
However, Lao Liu felt that he was not good enough and was afraid of dragging everyone down, so he repeatedly shook his head and refused.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man had no choice but to give up and turn to walk out of the courtyard.
He immediately spotted Guan Yue walking by, and his eyes instantly burned with desire as he gazed at her proud, swaying, voluptuous figure. He swallowed hard and said:
"Guan Yue, how about working for us? We guarantee you'll eat your fill of demon beast meat!"
"I'm just a woman, I can't be of much help, so forget it."
Guan Yue smiled and politely declined, not daring to linger, and quickly left.
Seeing this, the man had no choice but to give up and quickly went to the next house to persuade the other person.
"Look at you, you can't do anything right. You won't even take this great opportunity. My son and I can't live a good life with you by relying on us."
"And where were your eyes wandering just now? You were eyeing that widow surnamed Guan, weren't you? Staring at that slutty slut's big ass and... ugh, that shameless whore..."
"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't..."
A series of harsh curses then erupted from Old Liu's house.
Guan Yue had only walked a short distance when she vaguely heard some words, and her face darkened.
He managed to suppress his anger.
He walked quickly home.
On the way, she also saw many of Wang Tieming's men recruiting people in the village.
Many people in the village joined his team.
However, a large number of people felt that they were not strong enough and were afraid that Wang Tieming would use them as bait to attract monsters.
Since they couldn't get any monster meat anyway, they might as well not go.
I plan to live a peaceful and stable life.
Furthermore, the village's hunting team is now defunct in name only.
Many people go out hunting on their own, or at most invite a few close friends along.
Since Wang Tieming set up his own household, the atmosphere in the village has become extremely delicate, with various conflicts occurring frequently.
Guan Yue was only worried that the situation would get out of control, which would be troublesome.
Just as I arrived at my doorstep.
Her gaze inadvertently swept over the courtyard not far away, and she couldn't help but pause in surprise.
"Hmm? When was the wall around Shen Yi's house repaired?"
I remember a few days ago, their wall was about to collapse, wasn't it?
A hint of doubt arose in Guan Yue's heart.
Thinking of what Shen Yi and his sister had gone through these past few days, she couldn't help but sigh.
These three children also suffered a lot.
However, it seems that the three siblings have managed the household very well.
If nothing else goes wrong, I should be able to live a good life.
……
night.
Shen Yi held a long spear made of dark wood in his hand, and he and Shen Kun stood in the courtyard, the spear tip constantly thrusting out, hunting down lantern ghosts one by one.
With the suppressive power of the Yin-Suppressing wooden house against spirits, the lantern ghost was completely unable to get close to the house.
The two brothers only needed to be a little over a meter apart to easily kill him.
The number of lantern ghost corpses on the ground is increasing.
"Brother, this spear is really useful, unlike the Deep Black Arrow which broke after a short period of use."
Taking advantage of the break, Shen Kun turned around and flashed a bright smile.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yi's heart stirred.
[Shadowwood Spear - Level 1]
[Function: Thrust]
【Characteristic: Yin Sha (Can inflict penetrating damage on the target)】
【Durability: 32/100】
……
It took two consecutive nights to kill Lantern Ghosts and only lost a little durability!
It is indeed more durable than the Deep Black Arrow.
It truly lives up to its reputation as a weapon forged from ten pieces of Yin Soul Wood.
call out!call out!
They saw two long arrows shoot down a lantern ghost.
Shen Yi glanced back.
inside the house.
Shen Yuan did not fall asleep, but instead used her Yin Wood Longbow to hunt down the Lantern Ghosts.
Since she had not yet entered the Qi and Blood Realm, her elder brother forbade her from going out at night.
Shen Yuan didn't want her two older brothers to be the only ones hunting monsters while she was left with nothing to do.
So he picked up the Yin Wood Longbow to help deal with the Lantern Ghost, thinking he could be of some help.
With the three siblings working together, they were able to harvest a few more pieces of Yin Soul Wood.
The lantern ghosts, seemingly utterly fearless, kept emerging from the darkness, rushing towards the three siblings one after another, eager to tear apart and devour their flesh and blood!
However, the three siblings were all ruthless and efficient, killing the lantern ghosts one after another.
As time passed, the sky gradually turned a pale white.
As darkness faded, the ghosts' corpses piled up like a small mountain in the Shen family's courtyard.
It's just a pity...
The swamp area was not triggered.
Shen Yi looked at the motionless swamp and shook his head with a sigh.
Since only the Lantern Ghost invaded their house, the swamp terrain they set up was not triggered at all.
Actually, it's a good thing.
Only the lantern ghost's words indicate that their situation is safe.
Shen Yi rested for a while.
He rolled up his sleeves and walked toward the mountain of lantern ghost corpses, energetically taking out the Yin Soul Wood from them.
Once all the Yin Soul Wood has been dismantled.
Shen Yuan finished tidying everything up and said excitedly:
"Big brother, we killed a total of two hundred and fifty-three lantern ghosts this time!"
They are killing more and more lantern ghosts every day.
And this is even before she has fully joined the battle!
Shen Yuan continued excitedly:
"Big brother, once I reach the Qi and Blood Realm in a few days, I'll be able to help you kill even more Lantern Ghosts."
"What?"
Upon hearing this...
Shen Yi looked over in surprise.
From the day my little sister officially began practicing the Bull Rider Kung Fu, it hadn't even been ten days at most.
Is she about to break through to the Qi and Blood Realm so soon?
This girl is a genius.
Shen Yi praised her highly.
It then devoured all the Yin Soul Wood.
He now has 405 pieces of Yin Soul Wood!
With more money in hand, Shen Yi's mind started to wander.
Without hesitation.
He placed twenty pieces of wood containing the spirits into the core of the folk custom.
Twenty blueprints have been successfully unlocked.
[Shadow Wood Table], [Shadow Wood Leg Guards]... [Shadow Wood Nails], [Shadow Wood Arm Guards], [Shadow Wood Helmet]!
Aside from the fact that most of them are made of wooden planks, stools, and tables.
Among them, the five pieces of armor—Yinmu leg guards, knee guards, arm guards, shoulder guards, and helmet—together with the Yinmu breastplate, form a complete set.
Crafting a pair of Yin Wood arm guards and leg guards requires 5 Yin Wood, while crafting a Yin Wood helmet requires 10 Yin Wood.
Knee pads and shoulder pads only require 2 pieces of Yin Soul Wood.
All five blueprints come with the characteristic of "sturdiness".
Shen Yi immediately made it and equipped the three of them with a complete set of protective gear.
It takes a total of 48 pieces of Yin Soul Wood to craft a set of Yin Wood armor.
After putting it on, Shen Yi felt a great sense of security as most of his body was covered by the armor.
The idea of visiting Montenegro immediately came to mind.
See if we can find some highly nutritious mountain products.
"Come on, Ah Kun, let's go into the mountains!"
"Yes, brother!"
Shen Kun and Shen Yuan were happily exploring the armor when they heard their older brother's instructions. Shen Kun immediately responded excitedly.
Only Shen Yuan pursed her lips and remained silent, only able to watch her two older brothers leave together.
She immediately lost interest in the armor and went to the side to diligently practice the Bull Rider Kung Fu.
……
This time.
Shen Yi and Shen Kun wandered around the edge of Black Mountain for a long time, but didn't find anything.
"That's strange, brother, why are there so many people here?"
Shen Kun looked at the figures coming and going in the forest with a puzzled expression.
"It's probably because Wang Tieming left the hunting team."
Shen Yi pondered for a moment and then offered a guess.
"I guess so. Wang Tieming and his group went to work on their own, and the rest of the people no longer have the intention to partner up. Each family has to send someone out to hunt in the Black Mountain to make a living." Shen Kun nodded.
Moreover, these people are relatively weak and can only roam around the edge of Black Mountain.
The reason why Shen Yi and his brother couldn't find prey here was because too many people were searching for food here.
It's estimated that these people have almost completely emptied the resources in this area.
"Let's go, let's move a little further out and take a look."
As soon as Shen Yi's voice rang out, Shen Kun's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly.
"Maybe we'll run into a lone monster!"
"Don't always think about fighting monsters. We're only so capable. We'd be lucky if we could find even a regular large prey."
Shen Yi tapped his younger brother's helmet impatiently and got up to venture deeper into the outer perimeter.
Shen Kun chuckled and followed closely behind.
The two had only been inside for a short time.
call out--
Suddenly, a fierce whooshing sound came from behind them.
Shen Yi and his companion were constantly on guard, so they immediately noticed the abnormality and turned around to thrust their spears out!
The approaching dark figure was startled when it saw a spearhead gleaming with a cold light thrusting towards it.
It twisted suddenly in mid-air, abruptly changing its direction and dodging Shen Kun's attack.
However, it could not dodge Shen Yi's attack.
hiss-
With a tearing sound, the dark figure let out a squeak.
Upon landing, it immediately turned and ran without stopping.
A string of blood dripped onto the ground.
"Big brother! It's a demon rabbit! It's so big, it must weigh at least forty pounds!"
Coincidentally.
The moment it landed, the Shen brothers saw the entire shadowy figure.
Its fur is grayish-blue, its claws are long and sharp, and when it stares at you, you can see that it has a fierce grayish-blue glow.
Shen Kun exclaimed excitedly, "Big brother, you just hit it!"
"It didn't prick me; it just grazed my fur."
Shen Yi's eyes flickered, and he uttered a single word almost without hesitation:
"Chase!"
This is monster meat!
And it really is a lone monster, we absolutely can't miss it!
"Yes, brother!"
Unable to suppress his excitement, Shen Kun chased after him with all his might.
However, the demon rabbit was too fast, and the two of them couldn't catch up at all, so they could only trail far behind it.
"Big brother, it's stopped!"
A moment later, Shen Kun noticed that the demon rabbit's speed had slowed down and quickly called out.
At this time.
Shen Yi had seized the opportunity, drew his bow with his right hand, and the deep black arrow shot out like a meteor!
puff-
The demon rabbit in the instant of rising and falling.
He was immediately pierced through the abdomen by a viciously incoming dark arrow!
The demon rabbit immediately stopped moving and rolled forward with the force of the arrow.
