C3405 Who Is the Prey?
Because of Rong Hao's explanation, Jiang Ting frowned slightly. At this moment, the Devil Dao spy was still planning to deal with him. This stone city was not a place to stay for long.
After pondering for a while, Jiang Ting's mind turned. He controlled the flying boat and continued to approach the sea.
In just a few dozen breaths of time, Jiang Ting arrived at the edge of the river's formation. The bow of the flying boat was less than three feet away from the sea!
The unknown Golden Core Heavenly Realm frowned and reminded, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, be careful. The formation of the river not only hinders the Demonic Beast from entering the sea, but also the people who enter the sea from returning."
"Thank you for your reminder, fellow Daoist." Jiang Ting controlled the flying boat to stop, then walked to the bow of the boat and stared at the sea.
The Golden Core Demonic Beast that had lost in the distance also stared at Jiang Ting with a bloodthirsty gaze, its eyes filled with provocation.
Jiang Ting's emotions did not change. He silently estimated the distance... and then sadly discovered that his idea of hunting at the edge of the boat had failed... That Demonic Beast was not close to the edge of the river.
It was all 500 meters away. The Demon Hunting Magic Treasure could not extend to that distance at all.
"What a pity." With a low voice, Jiang Ting shook his head and put out his thoughts.
After pondering for a while, Jiang Ting looked at the others and said, "Fellow Daoists, after we leave, I would like to purchase the meat and blood of demon beasts."
Since he couldn't hunt demon beasts by himself... Then, what about buying it?
Buying other people's harvests would be... He needed the flesh and blood of demon beasts to temper his body. Others might not necessarily need it.
After all, not everyone had just arrived at Stone City and started hunting demon beasts. For those who had lived here for a long time, the tempering of the flesh and blood of demon beasts should have long since reached the limits of their bodies.
"Sure."
"Hehe, our gains are either given to the younger generation of our clan or given to many shops. As long as Fellow Daoist Zhang and the others have no objections, there's no need for me to do anything."
"Since Fellow Daoist Jiang is in urgent need of it, there is no harm in reducing the harvest of the demon hunters."
The others responded one after another. Perhaps it was because of Jiang Ting's identity, everyone was happy and harmonious. Most of them agreed to sell their flesh and blood after the Demon Hunt ended today.
In the harmonious atmosphere, about an hour passed.
"Roar!" A deafening roar of Demonic Beast resounded in the sea.
Looking over, he just happened to see the aura of an early-stage Golden Core Earth Realm cultivator. Shark-like Demonic Beast with spikes all over his body and a mouth full of sharp teeth appeared at a distance of 300 meters from the river.
His blood-red eyes stared ferociously at the river.
The gazes of everyone present froze.
The Golden Core cultivator said softly, "Fellow cultivator, which one of you would like to give it a try?"
Speaking of which, it had to be mentioned that the name was Xu Lin, who was at the peak of the Golden Core Realm. He was the Deputy City Lord of Stone City.
"Could it be that there's some sort of explanation to this?" Jiang Ting, who was about to call upon the others to attack him with his demon-hunting magic weapon, raised his eyes slightly.
Xu Lin's gaze swept across the others, and at the same time, he explained in a soft voice, "We are hunting demons. The Demonic Beast is waiting there. Hunters..."
It turned out that this could be considered as the unspoken rule of hunting demons in this place.
Apart from some idiots who controlled their brains with their bloodthirsty desires, most normal Demonic Beast would not enter the great river... and the people in the great river would not enter the great sea either.
However, hunting demons was hunting demons after all.
If the Demonic Beast wanted to lure people out of the great river and into the great sea, it naturally needed bait.
What bait could the Demonic Beast have for someone at the Golden Core realm? Apart from some natural treasures that could only be produced in the sea, the only thing left was the Demonic Beast itself.1
The stranger the bloodline was, the more noble the Demonic Beast was. To humans, the better the effect of improving and tempering their physique was.
A normal Golden Core Demonic Beast, even if it was a peak Golden Core Heavenly Realm Demonic Beast, could only increase the strength of the Human Clan's body to the level of a high rank magic tool by eating its flesh and blood.
However, it was rare to see a Demonic Beast with a powerful bloodline that had an effect that exceeded a high rank magic tool.
For example, the shark that appeared at this moment... If he could eat the entire shark, he would be able to increase the strength of his body by about 10% on the level of a high rank magic tool.
The stronger his body was, the stronger his life force would be.
The person's body had already been raised to the level of a high-grade magical artifact. Apart from a small portion of people who earned a small amount of flesh and blood, there were also quite a few people who came for the flesh and blood of higher grade demonic beasts.
Because of their tacit understanding, because of the unspoken rules... that Demonic Beast shark appeared at this moment.
According to the unwritten rules of the Demon Hunting Assembly, the Demonic Beast shark would be thirty meters away from the great river... At the same time, the people here could also choose a person to confront the shark in the great river.
If the Demonic Beast lost in the confrontation, it would enter the river.
If the person lost, then they would enter the sea!
Simply put, first, they would fight one another. The loser would enter the winner's territory. Then, the two would continue to fight one another until life and death were decided.
If a person entered the sea and cut down the Demonic Beast, then they could escape... because the other Demonic Beast waiting in the sea would immediately attack them together. If they couldn't escape, then they would naturally die.
If they escaped safely... then they naturally had nothing to say.
If the Demonic Beast entered the river and was killed in a one-on-one fight, then there would be nothing left.
If he won in a one-on-one fight, he would be able to devour that person. After that... the people here would also instantly attack in unison. If one hid his life at the bottom of the river, he would naturally be able to escape with his life. Perhaps he had been hiding at the bottom of the river all this time. They could also find other places to return to the sea.
If he was unable to escape... there was nothing he could say. The corpse would be split among the people here.
In short, whether it was the Demonic Beast or the people, if they were confident in their strength... I'll risk my life and enjoy the whole body... Of course, at this moment, the Demonic Beast and the shark sent out a signal to fight one on one. The humans could also ignore it.
If there was no response after a while, the Demonic Beast shark would naturally leave on its own.
Of course, since it was an unwritten rule... Cultivation was naturally limited. Those who accepted the challenge could lower their cultivation base to the other party, but they could not be higher than the other party.
For example, the shark attacking first was considered a provocation. If a human were to engage in a one-on-one battle with it, the person who accepted the challenge could be lower than the initial stage of the Golden Core Realm, and not higher than the initial stage of the Earth Realm.
About seven minutes later.
The shark, who had unknowingly approached a hundred feet away from the river, suddenly sneered. "No one came out for almost half a year. You humans are really becoming more and more cowardly."
His words were correct... En, if it was not for the fact that he could clearly hear the Demonic Beast's words, if it was a blind man, he would probably mistakenly think that there was someone there.
Rong Hao, who had been smiling and talking to Jiang Ting, suddenly smiled. "Fellow Daoist Jiang, I have long heard that Senior Qingfeng's Cool Breeze Sword Formation is unparalleled under the heavens. Since Fellow Daoist is here today, why don't you teach that beast a lesson?"
After saying that, Rong Hao sighed. "If it wasn't for my cultivation base being slightly higher than that beast, I would definitely teach that beast a lesson. A mere Demonic Beast dares to show off in front of our Human Clan? You really don't know what you're talking about."
Jiang Ting's eyes lit up...
Then, the corner of his mouth curled up, "To tell you the truth, I'm a coward. There are countless Demonic Beast in the ocean, but I still won't go in."
