Chapter 107 Wood Charm
Even ordinary bullets that have not been blessed and enchanted by the Taoist of Gongdetang still have a certain lethality against Mandrill Wood Charm.
Moreover, the loud sound produced by firearms can often scare away these monsters.
Therefore, in addition to every village in the mountains being protected by tall walls, every household has a musket.
Of course, it is inevitable for adult men to practice martial arts.
Even many women have practiced boxing, and their strength of three to two hundred kilograms is normal.
And these are all forced by the harsh and dangerous environment.
Zheng Tianyou said to the people in these villages: "You people are familiar with the mountains. If you can lead the way, I would be willing to help you deal with these mandrill wood charms!"
In addition to Zheng Tianyou himself being the inspector of Jingyesi and having responsibilities, there are also meritorious rewards for killing these monsters.
And all demons have some materials on their bodies, which can be used for refining elixirs, weapons, or talismans.
For example, the brain glands of the underground rat demon and the blood of the skinned demon. For example, part of the flesh and blood of the mandrill killed by Zheng Tianyou yesterday has special uses and can be exchanged for merit in the Merit Hall.
Du Xiong and those people relied on this to make a living back then!
Of course, Zheng Tianyou does not have so much utilitarianism now. He also has dozens or hundreds of meritorious deeds.
The people in the village were overjoyed when they heard Zheng Tianyou's promise, and a village elder immediately said: "There is a wooden charm near our village.
If you, sir, can help us solve the problem, our village is willing to give you fifty... no, one hundred taels of silver as thanks."
The hardship in the mountains does not mean that you cannot afford to eat. In fact, the mountains are rich in resources, and you can also collect medicines and hunt, so your life may be easier than in the plains below the mountains.
However, traffic is blocked and it is difficult to convert things into money. Therefore, it is difficult for these mountain villages to provide large sums of money as rewards. This is one of the reasons why Jingyesi has no motivation to send people to kill monsters in the mountains.
Zheng Tianyou smiled slightly and agreed immediately.
Now for his net worth, this amount of money is naturally despising. But it doesn't affect the market.
These villagers were very straightforward. After negotiating with Zheng Tianyou, they organized dozens of villagers to go into the mountains with Zheng Tianyou without any delay.
Of course, it can also be seen from this that these mountain people are afraid of the so-called wooden charm.
The charmer is charming!
Many wood charms are monsters that have mutated plants. It is generally difficult for plants to leave the place where they grow. Therefore, they often use methods similar to spiritual charm to lure people or animals close to them, and then kill people and eat their flesh.
If you are in the mountains, even if you suddenly see a woman waving to you for most of the day, don't be too happy. Eighty-nine times out of ten, this is the wood charm.
As long as you dare to get close, you will be in trouble immediately!
However, it is said that the wooden charms that can be so charming and transformed are very powerful ones.
The wooden charms near this village are not that powerful!
The wood charm here is a blood-sucking vine, which can secrete some extremely attractive gas, making people wander into its hunting range.
Fortunately, although this vampire vine is said to be near the village, it is actually at least seven or eight miles away from the village in a straight line. If you go over mountains and ridges, it will be even further!
Even though the distance is so far, there are still villagers who go to the mountains to collect medicine and hunt and are harmed by this blood-sucking vine.
Therefore, everyone in the village was very excited when talking about dealing with this vampire vine.
However, for Zheng Tianyou, Lu Yang and others, the process of dealing with the blood-sucking vine was lackluster.
In any case, they are also professionals!
Even if he has never seen a blood-sucking vine before, Jingyesi has countless experiences in dealing with these wood demons and other monsters.
Zheng Tianyou and the others had protective talismans on their bodies. They walked directly into the valley where the blood-sucking vine was. Then they found the main root of the blood-sucking vine. They poured down a packet of special powder and easily eliminated the blood-sucking vine.
The blood-sucking vines were densely covered in the valley, and the huge vines covering almost two or three acres were convulsed and dehydrated quickly after being exposed to the medicinal powder.
After struggling and twisting for more than an hour, he was completely dehydrated and withered!
This was an eye-opener for the villagers who followed!
They all brought weapons, torches, grease, etc. with them. They thought they would have to spend a lot of time, even setting fire to the mountain, to deal with this blood-sucking vine.
But I never expected that Zheng Tianyou and others could solve it so easily.
I couldn't help but feel a lot of awe and trust towards the so-called Jingyesi at the foot of the mountain.
Because according to what Lu Yang said, this kind of blood-sucking vine is very easy to deal with, and Jingyesi can deal with it just by sending anyone!
In fact, the situation is similar!
Most demons can be easily dealt with with professional means, tools, talismans and the like!
And Zheng Tianyou was also very interested in digging out a huge, blood-red tumor like a heart from under the main root of the withered vampire vine.
Although this thing has lost its vitality, it is where the blood-sucking vine secretes scent and digests flesh and blood.
It is the main ingredient for Jingyesi to refine a kind of elixir called "Dabu Dan".
This kind of big tonic elixir requires at least twenty meritorious deeds. It is an excellent auxiliary elixir for warriors to cultivate their Qi and blood.
It is also one of the best auxiliary elixirs for other strong warriors who want to break through soft strength!
Of course, the price of one elixir of twenty meritorious deeds can only be afforded by warriors above the strength level!
With this experience of annihilating Mu Mei, a master Jingyesi came to the mountain. The news that killing the demon was like picking up a treasure quickly spread among the villages in the mountain.
These villages communicate with each other and are quite close.
Soon other villages asked Zheng Tianyou to help deal with the monsters.
Zheng Tianyou will naturally not refuse!
I stayed in this mountain for more than two months, often hunting those monsters in the mountains at the invitation of various villages.
After more than a month, I killed seven mandrills and two wood charms.
It can be regarded as a thorough cleanup of the mountains for dozens of miles around here.
It also makes the mountains much safer!
Let the monster in the mountain either be killed or escape.
Zheng Tianyou discovered that none of these mandrill wood charms looked the same.
Although they are all transformed from wild beasts in the mountains, they are transformed from different beasts.
As for the wooden charms, they are trees that have mutated. The two wooden charms that Zheng Tianyou took care of this time were both blood-sucking vines.
This is also the most common wood charm in the mountains.
They often disguise themselves as ordinary tree vines. Once an animal or person walks into their attack range, they will immediately roll over and entangle the prey.
