C27 Demon Mountain
Qin Yue stood where he was and watched as the group of people entered the deep mountains and gradually disappeared into the vast mountains.
Along with him were eight men in armor.
These eight men were full of murderous aura, and their auras were oppressive.
The sun was very strong. Qin Yue turned around and entered a tent.
"Boss actually sent Lin Tian in." Seeing Qin Yue enter the tent, the rest of them whispered.
"Haha, I like that kid. He's a good seedling. It's a rare opportunity to enter the Demon Mountain and train." Another person said.
"You're right, it's just that his cultivation is too weak..." The first person who spoke was a bit worried.
"He has a signal arrow on him, his life is in danger. As long as he sends the signal, the boss will be able to use his sword to save him. Okay, let's not talk so much. Let's go to the mountain and catch some wild animals to roast. Have a good drink with Boss."
Everyone nodded their heads, thinking that this suggestion was reliable.
This time, there were more than 200 people who entered the Demon Mountain.
According to the rules, the disciples of the Qin Family could only bring one person into the Demon Mountain, but their cultivation base must be lower than their own.
The one who had registered with Qin Zheng this time was Lin Yue, not Shih Teng.
"Second young master, if you bring me here, it will be a burden to you." Lin Yue followed Qin Zheng across half of the mountain and panted, "Wouldn't it be better to bring Shih Teng here?"
Qin Zheng smiled, "Shih Teng has other plans. We will know when the time comes. Think about it first. How can we get first place?"
"I think we'll get first place this time to save our lives. As for the first place, we'll put it at the second place." Lin Yue took a few deep breaths.
In order to match the condition of his injured body, he had to activate his power and sweat a little.
"Oh, tell me about it." Qin Zheng was very interested.
"Qin Gaang is not an easy person to deal with. He will definitely send people to ambush somewhere in the Demon Mountain, waiting for us to fall into his trap." Lin Yue wiped his sweat.
"En, not bad." Qin Zheng looked into the deep mountains, "This is also a rare opportunity for us."
"That's right, it's better to be careful." Lin Yue blinked his eyes, "Other than you and Qin Gaang, is there anything else worth paying attention to?"
Qin Zheng thought for a moment. "And Qin Yang. He is the eldest son of my second uncle. He is 28 years old this year. My second uncle died in an accident 15 years ago. Qin Yang has always suspected that it was me, Royal Father, who killed him. Eight years ago, he went to the Dragon Sword Sect to cultivate. I didn't expect that he would actually come back... "
The Dragon Sword Sect was one of the three holy lands of cultivation in the Daxuan Country. It was a place that countless cultivators dreamt of.
Qin Yang was able to cultivate in the Dragon Sword Sect for eight years, so his cultivation must be extraordinary. There must be a scheme behind his return to participate in the Beast Hunting Competition.
The two of them rested for a while and continued moving forward.
This was the border of the Demon Mountain, and they didn't even see a single demon beast. All they encountered were ordinary wild beasts.
Because of Lin Yue's "dragging the oil bottle," Qin Zheng had no choice but to walk a little slower, so he wasn't in a hurry.
After walking for three hours, they finally crossed a mountain peak. The two of them set off deeper into the mountain.
The demon mountains were endless, the mountains and rivers coexisted, the scenery was beautiful, and the terrain was dangerous.
The more than two hundred people who had entered had all disappeared. They could no longer see anyone else in their field of vision.
Before entering the demon mountain, Lin Yue seemed to have seen Lin Tian's back. However, his speed was too slow. Before he could confirm it, he had already disappeared.
"Why is big brother here?" Lin Yue thought as he walked, "I wonder how his cultivation of the Nine Solar Golden Body Scripture is doing. It shouldn't be too bad."
Qin Zheng saw that Lin Yue was silent and didn't say anything. He just took out the map from time to time and looked at it.
The two of them stopped and rested. They could not walk much in a day. Unknowingly, the sky had turned dark.
"Let's find a place to rest for the night. This place is still at the edge of the Demon Mountain. There are no demon beasts here, so it's very safe." Qin Zheng found a cave and lit up a pile of firewood.
Qin Zheng was a bit hungry, so he took out a long bow from the Storage Ring. After a short while, he brought back three wild rabbits.
Lin Yue was near a mountain spring. After cleaning the wild rabbits, he roasted them.
"Lin Yue, your craftsmanship is not bad." Qin Zheng looked at the roasted rabbit and swallowed his saliva.
Lin Yue smiled. When he was chopping wood, he often roasted wild game. Over time, he found the trick of roasting.
"It smells so good!" At this time, a female voice sounded.
Lin Yue and Qin Zheng were startled. A woman in white appeared at the entrance of the cave.
"Money grubber?" Lin Yue widened his eyes. This woman was none other than the disciple of the Godly Doctor, Hua Butuo, Hwa Zhuyin!
"What? Who are you calling a money-grubber?!" Hwa Zhuyin recognized Lin Yue. He was the one who asked her to give him her first kiss. She was in a bad mood.
"No... It was nothing. I just said I saw a bee collecting honey, collecting honey. " Lin Yue said hurriedly.
Hwa Zhuyin rolled her eyes at him. It was already dark. There were no bees.
However, looking at the three roasted rabbits on the grill, she did not have the mood to argue with Lin Yue.
"Why are you here?" Qin Zheng frowned.
Although the demon mountain was not sealed off, because there were many demon beasts, ordinary people did not dare to enter alone.
"I'm here to pick herbs." Hwa Zhuyin took out a spiritual herb from the Storage Ring and used her hand to grind it into powder before sprinkling it on the roasted rabbit.
"What are you sprinkling?" Lin Yue asked.
"It's thin grass. It can be oily. En, alright, we can eat it now. Let's begin. " Hwa Zhuyin rubbed her hands together.
Lin Yue felt helpless. It seemed like this girl was not only a money-grubber, but also someone who came to get cooked.
There were three rabbits, and one for each person.
"It's already so late. I need to rest. I still need to continue picking herbs tomorrow." Hwa Zhuyin sucked on the oil on her finger and found a corner before starting to meditate and rest.
Lin Yue and Qin Zheng looked at each other and shook their heads. Such a girl was really strange. The two of them also went to sleep.
"What a coincidence. We are going the same way. This is great. This way, we won't be bored." When Hwa Zhuyin woke up the next day, she was very happy when she asked about Lin Yue and ___'s route.
"We have serious business. There will be more demon beasts ahead. You better not go any further." Qin Zheng said seriously.
With an outsider around, it was not convenient to do a lot of things.
"It's fine. I know a few tricks as well. I can protect myself, but I won't implicate all of you." Hwa Zhuyin said, "After One-Line-Sky, I will not follow you."
When Qin Zheng heard One-Line-Sky, his eyebrows trembled slightly.
One-Line-Sky was a miraculous scene in the Demon Mountain. It was the only way for them to go deeper, and also a good place to set up an ambush.
"What are you going there for?" Qin Zheng asked.
"Beyond One-Line-Sky is the Third Demon Peak. There is Origin Grass there, a healing spiritual herb. My goal is to pick it." Hwa Zhuyin said.
Even though Qin Zheng was unhappy, he was afraid that not agreeing would arouse Hwa Zhuyin's suspicion, so he could only agree to let her go.
"Hey, what's your name?" Hwa Zhuyin asked somewhat unnaturally.
"Lin Yue."
"How old is he?"
"Seventeen years old!"
"What do you do for a living? "
"Mentor!" Lin Yue answered honestly.
Although he did not deliberately lie to Hwa Zhuyin when he got her first kiss, he still felt guilty in his heart, so he answered patiently.
"This person's temper is not bad." Hwa Zhuyin thought in her heart, "He is still considered handsome, but regarding the first kiss, I will not tell him about it. As the Mentor has too many thoughts and too few good people, it is better to not entangle with him."
"Is it so difficult to find the Origin Grass? Must he come here to take a risk?" Lin Yue asked.
"Of course. This Origin Grass belongs to the Third Class Elixir. Only the Third Demon Peak has it within a radius of three hundred miles. It's not certain if we can find it this time." Hwa Zhuyin said.
"What does the grass look like? If I find it, I can bring it to you." Lin Yue said.
"Bring it to me? Why are you doing this?" Hwa Zhuyin frowned.
If you don't have anything to do, then you are a thief!
"Didn't you save me? You know how to repay kindness, and you are a man of your word."
"It seems like you still have some conscience. This Origin Grass is very easy to recognize, because a stalk of grass only has one leaf. The leaf is verdant and glistening, and the stalk is silvery-white."
Lin Yue silently remembered the characteristics of this Origin Grass.
"Right, what are you guys doing here? I discovered that many people came yesterday." Hwa Zhuyin asked.
"This is the once every three years Beast Hunting Competition of Qin Family. Of course there are a lot of people here." Lin Yue said.
"Then why are you here? Aren't you dragging us down?" Hwa Zhuyin said straightforwardly.
Being seriously injured and not recovering properly at home, you actually came here to travel mountains and rivers. It was really puzzling.
Lin Yue touched his nose. This woman was really straightforward.
"It seems that you didn't have it easy either." Hwa Zhuyin looked at Qin Zheng in front of her and said, "But as a Godly Doctor, I suggest that you take a rest. If you overwork yourself, you will easily fall ill."
"Thank you for your suggestion. I will take note." Lin Yue smiled.
With Hwa Zhuyin around, the journey would not be lonely.
The three of them walked for half a day and finally arrived in front of One-Line-Sky.
The so-called One-Line-Sky was a place where two cliffs were tightly pressed against each other. The gap in the middle was very narrow, and only one person could pass through at the same time.
At this moment, the afterglow of the setting sun happened to pass through the gap in the sky and was projected in. It sprinkled golden radiance and was extremely beautiful.
"It's really too beautiful." Hwa Zhuyin praised from the bottom of her heart.1
"Be careful!" At this moment, Qin Zheng said in a low voice.
Lin Yue narrowed his eyes. On the cliff, there were some bloodstains, but they had completely solidified. It seemed like it was the battle from last night.
Qin Zheng took out a flute and gently blew it a few times.
Other than a few fallen leaves, there was no other answer.
"Not good, they are most likely dead." Qin Zheng said in a low voice.
This was the first ambush he had set up, not to kill Qin Gaang, but to send someone to follow him. He wanted to find out how many people he had set up in the Demon Mountain, and only arranged two of them.
But now, it seemed like those two had been discovered before they could carry out their mission, and they had met with misfortune.
Qin Zheng didn't arrange for a large number of troops to be stationed here, because this was a place that everyone had to pass through. With so many people around, it was very easy for them to be discovered.
The Qin Family's rules strictly forbade killing each other. If they were discovered and secretly deployed a large number of soldiers in the Demon Mountain, then they would forever lose the right to inherit the throne.
Therefore, Qin Zheng placed his focus on Liu Xi. Those below the fourth level of the Pulse Opening Stage wouldn't dare to cross Liu Xi. Because of this, there were less than half of them, making it much easier for them to move around.
In fact, there would always be people who would use this opportunity to settle their grudges in the past beast hunting tournaments, but most of them would choose to cross over Liu Xi.
"In that case, should we advance or continue to wait?"
