Chapter 18 Hoofhorn Beast
Zhongyuzhou has the largest swamp in the entire Yunmengze continent - Qushang Swamp. Qushang Swamp was not called Qushang before. It was called Yunmengze in ancient times, and this continent got its name from this.
"Yunmengze Continental Geography" records that in ancient times, this place was originally one of Haizi's many fairyland-like holy places for cultivating immortals. Later, it became the main battlefield during the Seal War. The mountains and rivers collapsed, the earth was broken, and a wide range of forbidden magic was unleashed. It caused drastic changes in the environment, and countless immortal cultivators died in this battle. Yunmengze no longer has the holy realm of cultivating immortals, leaving only a desolate and terrifying swamp. Its name was also changed to Qushang Swamp to commemorate the immortal cultivators who sacrificed for the Yunmengze continent during the sealing war.
However, as time passes, a large number of monsters slowly gather in Qushang Swamp. Although there are many dangers, there are countless opportunities, so the popularity gradually grows, attracting a large number of monks to come here to hunt monsters and find materials. Even the once-in-a-decade ascension ceremony The trial of the conference was also chosen at the edge of Qushang Swamp.
And Haoyuan City is located to the east of Qushang Swamp.
Along the way, Yun Zheng's foodie nature was completely exposed. As long as he wanted to eat anything flying in the sky, crawling on the ground, or swimming in the water, he would catch it and throw it to Liu Qinghuan. One time they passed by a small swamp. Yun Zheng went for a walk in the swamp and came back and threw a spiritual water crocodile to Liu Qinghuan!
Spirit Water Crocodile is a first-level high-grade water monster, equivalent to the eighth or ninth level of Qi training. It is armored in iron armor and is invulnerable to water and fire. It has a ferocious and aggressive personality and is extremely difficult to deal with.
Liu Qinghuan spread his hands, he didn't know how to cook spiritual food.
"Can't you just make it like normal food?" Yunzheng gave him a "stupid" look. So the two of them had a meal of stewed crocodile meat. It was so delicious that they almost chewed it on their tongues. In the end, not even a drop of soup was left.
Monsters are monsters, and even though Liu Qinghuan may not have achieved 100% of the effectiveness of the spiritual water crocodile meat, there is still a lot of spiritual energy in it, making his practice that night worth the results of a few days on weekdays.
However, monsters are extremely difficult to find. Most of them gather in lofty mountains such as the Hengwu Mountains. Only a few of them appear alone in inhabited places outside the mountains.
The two of them don't indulge in eating every day. Every night when they rest, Liu Qinghuan will seize the time to practice. If it weren't for the fact that he was just in the Qi refining period and couldn't do it without sleeping, he would have spent the whole night practicing.
Moreover, practitioners should not eat too much fireworks. The food contains impurities to a greater or lesser extent, which is not good for cultivation. So Liu Qinghuan only cooked meals occasionally.
Yun Zheng didn't force himself, he was happy when he had something to eat, and he didn't force it if he didn't have something to eat. However, his habit of collecting ingredients along the way became more and more intense, making Liu Qinghuan's and his own storage bags full of all kinds of things. Meat, wild vegetables, mountain products.
Yunzheng also did it himself, but the young master Yunzheng only had a mouth to eat and no hands to cook, so the things he produced were terrible, either mushy or burnt. Once, Liu Qinghuan saw him throw a flame talisman directly at an entire blue sheep on a wooden frame, and then both the sheep and the wooden frame were burned to ashes in the fire, and the mountain was almost burned down.
Liu Qinghuan on the side looked at Yun Zheng who was laughing and was speechless. This guy is simply inhumane! A flame talisman requires at least three spiritual stones!
-------------------------------------------------------------- ---
"Yunzheng, what have you done again!" Liu Qinghuan yelled at Yunzheng angrily while running for his life.
"Ouch!" Yun Zheng, the culprit, accidentally got stabbed in the butt again! He held a small white object in one hand, covered his butt with the other and rushed forward, surpassing Liu Qinghuan in an instant. At this time, his clothes were torn and his bun was loose. He still had the air of a cold and noble young master.
If you want to ask why these two people are running for their lives, just look at the mighty herd of hoof-horned beasts following them. The angry hoofhorn beasts were snorting white air from their nostrils, pushing their two huge and sharp horns forward, chasing the two men and running away with their heads in their hands!
It is said that early that morning, when the two of them were on their way, Yun Zheng went hunting as usual, and encountered a large group of migrating hoofhorns on a river beach. The number was so large that there were tens of thousands at least. Only, the river beach was almost overcrowded.
The hoofhorn is just an ordinary beast. An adult hoofhorn can be up to ten feet long. It has a strong body and long hair. Its four iron-like hooves are very powerful. The two long horns on its head are even more deadly weapons for killing enemies. However, Their temperament has always been very gentle, and they are herbivorous and vegetarian animals.
Yun Zheng swaggered at the edge of the herd. The hoof-horned beasts were slightly commotion when Yun Zheng appeared. They could instinctively sense Yun Zheng's power, and all the beasts near him slowly moved away from him. move. Yun Zheng naturally didn't pay attention to this, and he started to pick and choose.
"Well, this one is too fat, it must be all fat!"
"This one is too old and the meat is too weak..."
"Hey, this one still has its cub, forget it, let you go."
After searching for a long time, I still couldn't find anything I was satisfied with. At this time, a small white figure appeared, very conspicuous among a bunch of black or yellow-haired large-hoofed horned beasts.
This is a small hoofed horned beast, only about the size of a palm. It is obviously just a few days old. It is extremely beautiful. The hair all over its body is as soft as white clouds. The two little horns that are slightly protruding on its head make Yun Zheng even more adorable. They were all melted, and the two large, pure eyes looked around flexibly, almost unsteadily following a female beast with long yellow hair.
The reason why it attracted Yun Zheng's attention was that it had spiritual energy fluctuations on its body.
This is a mutated spiritual beast!
There are two types of beasts that can be cultivated, spiritual beasts and demonic beasts. The difference is that spiritual beasts can be tamed by cultivators, while demonic beasts cannot. Ordinary beasts, given the right time and place, have a very small chance of mutating into mutated spiritual beasts or mutated monster beasts. Generally speaking, mutated spirit beasts are rarer than ordinary spirit beasts, and their abilities are also stronger. So when Yunzheng discovered this white mutated little hoofed horned beast, he laughed so hard that his mouth split.
Mutated hoofed horned beasts are extremely popular mounts in the world of immortality. They are extremely fast. When they reach adulthood, their normal speed will be faster than low-grade flying spiritual weapons. If they are carefully raised, there is a high chance that the hoofed horned beasts will be upgraded. There will also be extremely practical mutation skills. For example, Chu Yueqing, the current master of Xingyue Palace, has a third-level top-grade hoofed horned beast that can accelerate instantly.
After determining the target, the next step was to capture it. Yun Zheng used the Quiet Cloud Jue and went straight to the target, scaring the horned beasts along the way to avoid it.
He felt that the horned beasts on the road were in the way, but he was not a murderer. He just used his spiritual power to brush away the horned beasts that were unable to avoid them and went straight towards the little white horned beast. When he got nearby, he grabbed it from the air, and the little beast was wrapped in spiritual power and fell into his hands.
This little beast is still nursing. It is only the size of a palm and looks smart and cute. I didn't expect that the huge hoofhorned beast would be so petite in its cub stage!
Yun Zheng held the small hoofed horned beast in his hands and watched with satisfaction, and suddenly found that the surrounding beasts seemed to be moving strangely. The beasts that had no time to hide from him suddenly stopped evading. A pair of beast eyes as big as bells stared at him angrily. The sharp horns on their heads also pointed at him. In the next moment, they rushed towards him with raised hooves. !
Yun Zheng was stunned for a second, and before he could understand, he was surrounded by a herd of wild animals.
He hurriedly threw several ice picks in succession.
The power of the Ice Cone Technique is quite good, and it directly knocked down the nearest large hoofed horned beasts as soon as it was launched. However, the herd of beasts is huge, and the few dead ones are only one in tens of thousands of them. Even if ants can kill an elephant, what's more, the hoofhorned beasts are much more powerful than the ants. The beasts rioted as if they suddenly took the wrong medicine...
