Chapter 10 The First Hunt

After a while.

Four people from the four teams gathered together, and servants made tea, served tea, and prepared various foods.

"Ying Wei is good at demon-slaying sword techniques."

Ying Wei is a short-haired young man who looks to be in his twenties. The large and small scars on his arms are very conspicuous.

After he finished speaking, he sat aside with his knife in his hand and remained silent. He seemed to be a man of few words.

"Li Yan, good at tracking."

Surprisingly, there is another woman in Team Liu Ying. She has a very ordinary appearance and also has short hair.

She is good at tracking, perhaps it is this specialty that makes her stand out.

Although Gu Luosheng didn't know many people, he had seen many hunters in the cafeteria.

If his memory is correct, she seems to be the only female in the entire Hunter Hall. There is almost no one training women to become cultivators. I don't know if it is due to innate factors or intentional.

Li Yan's name is very strange, but she has no expression, neither enthusiastic nor indifferent. She just picked up a cup of tea and started drinking it.

"I am the captain, Liu Ying, and I can only use the demon-slaying sword technique."

Liu Ying obviously does not come from a big family. He can cultivate to the third level only because of his talent.

"Gu Luosheng, newcomer, seniors, please give me your advice."

Gu Luosheng also introduced himself. The newcomer just means he is not good at anything, so it is best not to expect him.

"Haha, don't underestimate him. He is a genius who has spent a year developing the basic internal energy on his own. In a few years, he should be able to become the main force of the team and make up for the gap in combat strength."

Liu Ying has some small hopes for Gu Luosheng.

The village is too small, and the hunter family is just better than the farmers.

The members who came out were indeed quite good in cultivation and combat power, but they were not to the point of crushing them.

Their cultivation potential is just that, but Gu Luosheng obviously still has room for improvement and is a little genius.

For places like the first and second teams, there may not be a shortage of such young talents, but for him, Liu Ying, there is a shortage.

"Anyway, once the people are replenished, we can start hunting again. You should practice your sword skills and Qi nourishing skills, and adjust your condition. We will set off in seven days."

Liu Ying didn't want to waste too much time and planned to directly use fighting to train Gu Luosheng.

The reason why he stayed in the Hunting Hall was to recruit new people.

Now that I have found it, I will naturally start making money directly.

As Gu Luosheng nodded.

In the next week, Liu Ying and the others told him what he needed to pay attention to when hunting. Liu Ying even gave him special instructions on how to practice the demon-slaying sword and gave him a surprise training.

As the saying goes, sharpening a gun in battle is not a good thing, but Gu Luosheng himself does feel that he has gained a lot.

As expected, fighting skills still require a teacher, so that they can explain the meaning of each movement and what role it plays. The way forward for Gu Luosheng's practice suddenly became clear.

I practice my movements hard and memorize them by rote, but the efficiency is still too low.

…

A week passed quickly. Everyone packed up their weapons, put on their leather armors, brought dried meat and water, and then chose a direction where the monsters were likely to be and walked quickly.

The village is located in the middle of a forest, and there are complicated environments outside. Even though Gu Luosheng's physical fitness is far superior to ordinary people because of his Qi-nourishing skills, it is quite difficult to walk.

Some areas even have to be traversed using inner energy, which is a headache.

It's no wonder that everyone prepared a lot of dried meat.

It is indeed not as difficult for them to recover their physical fitness as it is for ordinary people.

As Gu Luosheng's first hunting, he was naturally full of excitement. However, unlike the excitement Liu Ying and the others thought, Gu Luosheng was actually very concerned about possible dangers.

From the moment I came out, I have been in a state of concentration, lest something unexpected happen.

Mayfly’s destiny!

No matter what dangerous situation happens, he will not be surprised by his rubbish fate!

pity.

Things were completely opposite to what Gu Luosheng thought.

They found no trace of monsters along the way, but they caught a few ordinary prey.

It's a pity that there are only a few rabbits, which are enough for everyone to eat, and there is no big harvest.

Liu Ying was not surprised by this result. At night, he set up a bonfire and ordered renovations.

"The chance of encountering a monster is actually very small. You often need to find clues to track it by yourself. You may not get anything for ten and a half days, so I'll just let you adapt to the environment in advance."

"In order to look for traces of monsters in the future, most people will have to stay outside for several days or even more than ten days. If they are not adapted to the wild environment and their condition declines, they will most likely make mistakes and die in battle."

"It's done, eat and rest as soon as possible, then take turns to watch!"

Liu Ying shared the roast rabbit, his portion was the largest, and the others successively reduced the portion, until Gu Luosheng didn't have much left.

However, the roasted rabbit fat is so oily that even if it is just sprinkled with salt, it is very appetizing.

Gu Luosheng didn't want to be too little, so he ate his portion thoroughly, and then followed Liu Ying's instructions and stood guard with Ying Wei until midnight.

…

"Hey, Captain, these bite marks seem to be caused by a monster. It seems that we finally found a clue."

Li Yan pulled a skeleton, and the bones on it were bitten to pieces. It was indeed the work of a monster.

"Oh, look for it!"

Liu Ying and everyone else were shocked. They had been wandering outside for three days and still had nothing to gain.

Not even large game animals were seen, which was really hard to get back home.

And it’s only been three days, so they are still in good condition and don’t need to adjust.

"This area is already close to the middle layer. It should be that a monster from the middle layer has slipped in. We have to chase it deeper to find it. And there is a middle layer river in front of us. The possibility of an aquatic monster cannot be ruled out."

Ying Wei took out the map and looked at it, then pointed.

Gu Luosheng took a look and found that the map was crooked and completely incomprehensible. It was only because there was a special river marked where he pointed that it could be barely seen as a river.

This river is called the 'Middle Layer River'. It is very long and runs through the map in a winding way. There are countless tributaries.

Gu Luosheng noticed that the village surrounded by the river is called the edge land, the forest part outside the village is called the outer layer, and the area outside the middle layer river is called the middle layer. This area is very large and may stretch for hundreds of kilometers or even thousands of kilometers.

Outside the middle layer area is a blank "deep layer" that is directly marked as inaccessible.

In addition, the most conspicuous mark on the map is the long-standing enemy of Zhucun, 'Yancun'.

The routes they took avoided the scope of Yan Village, because they didn't want to meet people from Yan Village.

Hunting monsters can bring great benefits, but fighting with Yan Village is more dangerous and the rewards are not satisfactory, so they are not interested.

After that, Li Yan used her unique skills to track the monsters and chased them all the way to the middle river.

Then the clues were completely cut off. After wandering around for a long time, Li Yan came to the conclusion: "It seems that we are tracking an aquatic monster. Unless we have been lurking nearby, it is highly likely that we will not find it."

"Zhi, anyway, it's just the outer layer. It's normal not to encounter monsters. In this case, let's get a few ordinary prey back first. We can't have no harvest."

Liu Ying said, looking into the distance.

Gu Luosheng also took a look and found a black-skinned pig-like creature digging the soil. It was huge and looked at least several hundred kilograms. As prey, this was undoubtedly excellent.

"Black pig, the probability of giving birth to a demon beast is not high, but the reproductive capacity is amazing. We are lucky!"

"Surround it!"

Everyone surrounded it carefully. After the encirclement was formed, they suddenly rushed out and began to approach the black pig with all their strength.

The movement immediately alarmed the black pig, causing it to run wildly and try to break through.

Unfortunately, the people who surrounded it were too fast. Ying Wei rushed to its side and the knife flashed.

The black pig's head was immediately separated and fell down.

Ordinary creatures have no room to fight back against practitioners. The physical gap is too big.

There was a small problem before. The skill experience of the Qi-nourishing Technique was underestimated by 50. I have corrected it. In the future, these 50 will be added. Gu Luosheng will upgrade to LV4 faster.
