Early the next morning, before dawn, Yi Fan visited the three major markets in the east, west and south of Longshan City. After scanning everything he needed to sell and buy, he returned to the inn to get busy.
In the blink of an eye, it was noon. After Yi Fan finished his work, it was time to wake up the lady.
Knock knock!
"Damn girl, get up, it's time for us to set off."
Qiao Wan was sleeping soundly on the bed. When she heard the call, she stretched lazily and asked, "Let's go? Where are we going?"
Yi Fan pushed the door open without any outrageous behavior, and said through the screen: "The Mountain of Evil Beasts."
Qiao Wan then recalled it and said feebly: "I know, get out, sister, I need to change clothes."
Last night, a group of animal hunting teams came to invite, and the "brother and sister" received a lot of gifts. For the sake of fairness, they decided not to join anywhere, and just treated the money as a reward, and even took the money without working.
In fact, due to their status, it is not suitable for group activities. If there are more people, it will be uncomfortable to have their hands and feet tied up. Moreover, the two of them can even handle an adult wolf with broken gold and blood patterns. This time the hunt is just for trial.
It doesn't have much of a goal.
Moreover, with a hunting guide such as "Shenzhou Mysterious Beasts", I am well prepared and can handle some small beasts with ease.
After a hasty meal, the two of them rode out of the city and galloped away towards the Evil Beast Mountain Range.
On the way, the eldest lady was a little unhappy and complained: "We didn't leave early and we didn't leave late. We're setting off now. It's already dark when we reach the Evil Beast Mountain Range. Are we just going to deliver dinner?"
Yi Fan smiled: "Are you up so early? Stop talking nonsense and hurry up, otherwise you will sleep in a tree tonight."
The Evil Beast Mountain Range is a thousand-mile dense forest. In this environment, the field of vision is clear during the day. At night, the ancient trees cover the moon. Human perception is not as sharp as that of beasts adapted to nocturnal activities. If the ground is safe during the day, then at night, the ground is safe.
That's the most dangerous place.
"I don't want to sleep on a tree." Qiao Wan pursed her lips and her eyes suddenly lit up: "By the way, I know there is a lake in the Evil Beast Mountain Range. Let's spend the night there tonight. Come on, I'll take you there."
Yi Fan nodded and smiled without saying a word. It is clearly recorded in the "Shenzhou Mysterious Beast Record" that there are dozens of waterfalls and thousands of creeks in the Evil Beast Mountain Range, but there is only one lakeside named 'Jinghan Lake'.
There are plenty of fish caught in Jinghan Lake, and it is the habitat of many water-type beasts, including the territory of the Water Spirit Dragon Colt. It is estimated that Yuling Zheng captured this beast in this lake in the past.
In addition, water-type beasts are relatively docile and live in groups. Generally, they will not attack outsiders as long as they do not invade their territory.
Hunting animals is not a matter of a day or two. Using Jinghan Lake as a base is exactly what Yi Fan wants.
Before they knew it, it was dusk. Yi Fan and his two men had been running for a long time, and now they had arrived at the Evil Beast Mountain Range. The ancient dense forest had not been mined and there was no real road, so it was not suitable for riding into the mountain.
Qiao Wan was a little helpless: "Why? If I don't ride a horse, I'm afraid I won't be able to find the lake tomorrow night."
Yi Fan chuckled and explained patiently: "It is said in the booklet that the mountain road is bumpy and dangerous, and driving a horse into the mountains will only attract the prying eyes of the beasts. Besides, domestic horses are born with a smell that is not wild at all. This smell is very popular with wild beasts."
Their love.”
"What does it smell like? Why can't I smell it?"
Yi Fan shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm not a beast, how do I know? Anyway, just listen to me."
Xiao Nizi pursed her lips, a little unhappy, but she still got off her horse obediently, pointed at the horse and asked: "What will they do? By the time we come down from the mountain, they will all starve to death."
Yi Fan didn't care, turned around and left: "Let the animals go, there's no need to ask."
Xiao Nizi seemed to be in high spirits and refused to let go: "Release the animals? How will we go back then?"
Yi Fan sighed bitterly: "Hou, you are so long-winded. You will find a solution when the time comes. Don't worry, I promise I won't let you walk back."
With the guarantee, Qiao Wan still kept chattering for some reason, asking several questions in a row, some of which even Yi Fan didn't know how to answer. Little did she know that Xiao Nizi had promised to lead the way before, but now she was following behind Yi Fan.
Didn't respond.
With great difficulty, the two of them arrived at Jinghan Lake before dark. After several trials, they found a small unowned land by the lakeside and immediately set up camp without saying a word.
Yi Fan was well prepared and took out the tent he bought during the day. It was his first time to use this thing. After a long time of fumbling and countless failures, he finally set up the tent in a proper way.
Although it is a land without an owner, there are many dreams at night, and it is difficult to know whether I will be attacked in my sleep.
Then, Yi Fan took out a small bag, took some powder and sprinkled it around the tent.
Seeing his strange behavior, Qiao Wan dipped the powder in curiosity, held it in front of her nose and smelled it. She suddenly turned green and coughed repeatedly: "This... what is this thing?"
Yi Fan chuckled: "The secret weapon, whether you can sleep well in the future depends on it."
Qiao Wan frowned so hard that she couldn't frown any longer and said angrily: "It stinks to death."
Yi Fan nodded unsurprisingly: "Yes, this thing is called 'Animal-Repelling Incense', which was invented by the ancestors of the Yu family. It is mixed with sulfur, dried cow dung, waste oil... and more than ten pungent things.
I'm even afraid of you, I think this is the right flavor."
Qiao Wan's face turned pale: "How dare you grab such a disgusting thing with your hands?"
Yi Fan stared at the yellow powder remaining on her fingers and said, "Didn't you touch it too?"
Only then did Xiao Nizi realize what she was doing. She yelled "Ah" and looked like she was about to cry. She hurriedly ran to wash her hands. Yi Fan laughed, shook his head, and followed.
…
After a night of silence, Yi Fan slept comfortably until dawn. On the other hand, Qiao Wan was not so energetic, with a look of despair on her face, and said feebly: "When can I go back?"
Having enjoyed city life, it is obvious that Xiao Nizi has not gotten used to being in the wild for a while.
"We just came here, don't dream." Yi Fan ate the grilled fish and said, "Cheer up quickly and I will take you to meet the 'Open Scale Lynx' later."
"Shenzhou Mysterious Beast Records" records that the scaled lynx is a wood beast with green scales covering its limbs and a body shape like a cat. Due to its extremely short lifespan, it is generally difficult to live beyond adulthood. This beast has strong fecundity and is a social animal. Due to its large number,
Depending on the environment, it can range from hundreds to thousands.
Qiao Wan knew a lot and frowned: "We have to hunt down the scaled lynx when we first come here, can we just rely on the two of us?"
The open-scaled lynx are not very strong. In terms of cultivator level, they are usually around the second level of mortal transformation. With this strength, it is not a problem for Yi Fan to kill one of them with one punch. But what worries Qiao Wan is their number.
It's amazing. If thousands of heads surrounded them together, it would only take a matter of one or two seconds to tear two people apart.
Yi Fan had never seen it before, so he shook his head and said: "No matter what, we are just going to have a look anyway. If we find that the situation is not good, we can give up and choose other beasts to practice with."
Jinghan Lake is the junction between the inner and outer rings of the Evil Beast Mountain Range. More than 20 miles to the northeast is the habitat of the scaled lynx. With Yi Fan's current strength, he is not qualified to break through, so he can only take a detour.
OK.
On the way, he was inevitably attacked by some evil beasts, but Yi Fan was well prepared and repeatedly brought out things that frightened the beasts, so it was easy to kill him along the way.
But Qiao Wan didn't think so, and said angrily: "If we continue to kill like this, when we see the scaled lynx, our energy will be exhausted. How can we still hunt by then?"
Yi Fan rolled his eyes at her and listened to Xiao Nizi complaining all the way down. The bell hadn't even rang, how could it be said that she was wasting her energy? The contribution she made was to collect fur beast pills, and Yi Fan was alone in the battle.
Fighting, her role is at best just watching the show, and she occasionally nags and gives instructions, which is very annoying.
In fact, Qiao Wan cares about Yi Fan, not because he is lazy and unwilling to take action, but because in order to train himself, Yi Fan does everything by himself and does not need her help at all.
As everyone knows, after Yi Fan hunts an evil beast, he will always put one hand on the beast. While consuming the divine breath, he also lets the Hunyuan Sky-Swallowing Python swallow the blood and then turn it into a trace of divine breath to make up for it. After several consecutive battles, the divine breath
The interest was not consumed at all and was still quite sufficient.
Qiao Wan didn't know this, so she seemed to be worrying too much.
After a while, a beast roar suddenly came. Yi Fan quickly pushed Qiao Wan behind the tree, leaned down and hid in the bushes, pointed at Xiao Nizi, put his finger on his mouth, and signaled 'shhh'.
Xiao Nizi understood, and did not dare to take a breath or speak. Yi Fan looked around through the leaves with a pair of gray eyes, and unexpectedly saw a 'Dou Si' walking slowly with a scaled lynx in its mouth.
Dou Si is a beast of the fire attribute. It looks like an ox, with red eyes and red hair. Its strength is around the level of Foundation Establishment. It likes to be quiet by nature, so it is easily angered. It will never give up every battle unless the surrounding noise is dispersed.
Yi Fan frowned. It was not impossible to deal with this Dou Si, but seeing that it had a scaled lynx in its mouth, it showed that the habitat of the scaled lynx was nearby, so it was not a fight with this beast at the moment.
opportunity.
Yi Fan quietly took out the beast-repelling incense, sprinkled a little in front of him, and then released a trace of divine breath, turning into wind, carrying the scent forward.
Dou Si, who was approaching the two of them, uttered a light word, looked around with his big head, and seemed to have reacted to the smell, turning sideways and changing his route.
Qiao Wan clenched her heart and was ready to fight. When she saw Dou Si turning away inexplicably, she felt relieved.
Yi Fan acted cautiously, remained silent for a long time, and said, "It's okay, let's go."
Continuing on the road, unknowingly, the originally green ancient forest was now surrounded by a lot of swamps. The trees were brown and black, and the leaves were dark green. The surroundings became much darker, and there was a faint strange atmosphere.
There are more poisonous insects and poisonous beasts, and occasionally you can see some bubbling poisonous mud. Yi Fan frowned: "Strange, there is no record of a poisonous forest here in the Mysterious Beast Record. Why..."
Just when he was doubting that the record was wrong, the environment changed, and wild beasts would naturally migrate due to the environment. Suddenly there was a commotion in the bushes, and there was a "whooshing" sound, and accompanied by strange things all around, Yi Fan became a lot more nervous, and he immediately held the sword in his backhand, alerting the surroundings.
.
Not long after, a kitten walked out of the bushes. It had big ears and big eyes, with two shining eyes. It looked very cute. Its limbs were covered with green scales, and it had small silver horns on its head. Its tail was three fingers thick and swung behind its buttocks.
Dumped.
When a girl sees something cute, she will always say, "Wow, it's so cute."
