Chapter 36 Rest
As night fell, the entire black maple forest gradually became quiet, and the autumn hunting that had been vigorously carried out for a day was finally over.
The sun had completely sunk below the horizon, and the black maple forest slowly became dark. However, in such a dark environment, three flames were lit at three locations of the Black Maple Forest. Undoubtedly, these three flames were the residence of the three major families of Fengtian County today in the Black Maple Forest.
Near the right side of the Black Maple Forest, the Yuan family's camp has been simply built. Since it was just a temporary sleeping night, the camp was very simple. It almost put a piece of trees down and circled around it, and then arranged a guard every distance. As for the ordinary people who transported monsters, they stayed safely in the middle, making a fire and cooking.
Piles of bonfires were burning in the camp. On each bonfire, there was naturally the meat of monsters roasted. It was just a simple meal, so there was no need to bring cookware. Everyone just needed to get the ingredients locally and eat some barbecue.
The aroma of barbecue floated around the camp, and groups of people from the Yuan family sat together. In the middle, three middle-aged men sat around a small fire, roasting beast meat while talking to each other.
"Second brother, I just made a brief count. We hunted about a thousand monsters today, but most of them were about third-level monsters. There were very few more powerful fourth-level fifth-level monsters. As for the higher-level ones, only the second and third brothers and me hunted some, and no one else had high-level monsters."
Yuan Qingyan was roasting beast meat while reporting to Yuan Qingyun. He walked around the entire camp and counted the number of monsters everyone killed today, and then came back to report. At this moment, his thick and thin quality was fully reflected.
"There are quite a few monsters about one thousand. This time, the number of warriors in the Yuan family who entered the Black Maple Forest is only about three hundred people. One thousand monsters, each of them hunts about three monsters on average. Such a result is pretty good."
Yuan Qingyun put a piece of animal flesh in his mouth and swallowed it. Listening to Yuan Qingyan's report, he nodded secretly, as if he was very satisfied.
On the first day of autumn hunting every year, Yuan Qingyan will do such a statistics, and the number of each year is almost the same as the difference between the upper and lower, and there is not much difference this year.
"I don't know what the situation in the market is like. It's good that these thousand monsters can open a magic crystal!"
Speaking of which, most of the monsters hunted today are weak monsters. Although the number is not low, they are almost impossible to sell for a lot of money. What he really cares about is whether there are magic crystal beasts among these monsters.
After the monsters are transported back to the family market, they will be dismantled one by one, plucked the skin and bones. However, these are secondary. The most important thing is whether there will be magic crystals in the heads of these monsters.
The magic crystal is not determined by the level of the monster. Speaking of which, a powerful innate monster does not necessarily have magic crystals, while a weak second- and third-level monster may not necessarily have magic crystals.
Also, the higher the level of the magic crystal, the higher the quality of the magic crystal, but even the weak magic crystal is, it has extremely high value. In other words, as long as it is a magic crystal, even if it is only the first level, it is a rare treasure.
Magic crystals have many uses, such as alchemy. Some precious elixirs may require the smelting of many rare refining materials together, but some refining materials are mutually exclusive. If it is simply refining, it is almost impossible to refine them successfully. However, if a magic crystal with special attributes is added, the success rate of the alchemy and the quality of the elixir will be greatly improved. At this time, the function of the magic crystal is reflected.
Also, if some powerful weapons are inlaid with magic crystals, they can not only save energy and true energy when used, but also increase attacks. Even a very small magic crystal can be processed by a skilled craftsman, and can also turn an ordinary weapon into a rare magic weapon.
Yuan Qingyun is not greedy. As long as one of these thousand monsters has magic crystals, he will be satisfied. A magic crystal is enough to get a store in Chujia or a sect like Danxia Sect in exchange for some elixirs to strengthen the power of the big family.
"Second brother, you don't have to worry too much. Everything depends on luck. You can know your destiny by doing your best. The magic crystal is rare. Not to mention a thousand monsters, even if it is ten thousand, you may not be able to find one."
Seeing Yuan Qingyun's slightly worried face, Yuan Qingyan couldn't help but comfort him.
Of course, what he said is true. Magic crystal is like the martial spirit of a warrior. Even if it is not as rare as the martial spirit, it is almost the same.
"Haha, you will comfort people." Yuan Qingyun no longer thought about it. As the head of the family, he was worried about the development of the family, but he still understood these simple truths in his heart.
"By the way, how are those kids? But have they all returned to the camp?"
"Ahem, this one is almost all back, but the person named Zhao Qian of the Sishui Sect, and Changsun Yuanao from our Yuan family, has not come back, and Xiaofeng has not come back either."
At the end, he couldn't help but look worried on his face. Yuan Ao Zhao Qian hadn't come back, so he wouldn't be worried, but Yuan Feng hadn't returned yet, which made him feel a little confused.
"What? Feng'er didn't come to the camp?" Yuan Qingyun, who had originally had a calm face, suddenly changed his expression at this moment.
"Well, I've asked, no one else has seen Xiao Feng, and I don't know where the child has gone!"
Yuan Qingyan scratched his head, but this time he didn't know how to comfort the other party. The sky had already become completely dark. Yuan Feng had not arrived at the camp at this time, so there were really many possibilities.
"This kid is really uneasy!"
Taking a deep breath, Yuan Qingyun tried to calm himself down, but when he thought of the Black Maple Forest's crisis and it was night, it was hard for him to calm down. What kind of monsters are there in the Black Maple Forest? Even he would not spend the night alone in the forest. When he thought of Yuan Feng having to sleep alone in the deep mountains, he felt that his heart was almost hanging.
"Oh, forget it, let him go! Since the last incident, this child has become mysterious and hope nothing will happen!"
After pondering for a while, he could only sigh. As he said, Yuan Feng is really a little mysterious now, and he really can't see through the other party. Although he was worried, he believed that if Yuan Feng didn't come back, there might not be any danger. This kind of trust is somewhat blind.
Anyway, he can't let everyone in the camp go out and look for it, right?
"Old third brother and fifth brother, let's take turns to rest tonight. Whenever there is any disturbance, I will come out to see it. I will definitely ensure everyone's safety." His face turned right, and he no longer thought about it because he didn't think too much. At present, he should take care of the matters in the camp. As for Yuan Feng, he believed that the other party would be fine...
Coincidentally, this night was also a difficult night for Yun Jinlong, the head of the Yun family.
"Hey, Mengchen, Mengchen, you are a girl, how can you be alone outside? You really want to be anxious!" Yun Jinlong sat in front of the bonfire and drank wine. He received a report. All the disciples of the Yun family returned, but Yun Mengchen was missing. This news made his eyes turn dark, and his heart was like pretending to be a deer, unable to calm down.
"Everyone says that there is no better father than my father, but my daughter is really a mysterious existence. I really don't know what kind of secrets she has hidden in her heart. Can't even tell me, a father?"
After taking a sip of wine, Yun Jinlong felt depressed. Although he had grown up with his daughter since childhood, he could feel that there were definitely many things he didn't know hidden in Yun Mengchen. Putting aside other things, even if his daughter's current cultivation level was not at all.
On weekdays, Yun Mengchen spent more time in Chenxi Tower than in the family, and Yun Mengchen hired him personally, and did not take him and everyone in the Yun family seriously. What's more serious is that the fat shopkeeper Qian had always made him feel very strange. After several tests, he found that the other party seemed to not understand martial arts, but in fact, he couldn't even see through it.
"Girl, no matter what kind of secret you have, why don't you want me to know, Dad just hopes you can be safe!"
When he sighed, he no longer thought about it, and lay on his back on the ground, closing his eyes to rest.
In a corner of the Yunjia Camp, Ling Fei and Leng Yun, a disciple of the Sishui Sect, were baking the fire while talking about something.
"Senior sister, do you think something will happen to Junior Brother Zhao Qian and Junior Brother Yuan Ao? I always feel that these two guys are mysterious. Could it be that something is hidden from us?"
Leng Yun is a person who talks very little. He always follows Ling Fei and never speaks much. He only says a few more words when the two are alone.
"Haha, they can do whatever they want. With their cultivation level, there will be no danger. Although this black maple forest is not small, it is still a little worse than the wilderness we have experienced before."
Ling Fei smiled. Today, they hunted monsters, but they hardly took much action, because with their cultivation level, they were the time to show their skills to the central area the next day. Today, they were just escorting the hunting outside.
She was somewhat guessing about the fact that Zhao Qian and Yuan Ao did not return. She also heard that there were Yuan Feng, the third young master of the Yuan family. When she contacted Qianqian and Yuanhou, she thought of some possibilities.
"Leng Yun, we are here to help. Don't worry too much about the extra. When the autumn hunting ends tomorrow, we will rush back overnight. The selection battle will begin. You and I must make final preparations for the battle."
After saying that, she closed her eyes gracefully and started practicing quietly. Seeing her like this, Leng Yun stopped talking, and sat there quietly watching the former, silently protecting her.
