Chapter 443: Advantage 2

The gerbils are much faster in the sand than they are on the plains.

If the gerbils in the middle and late stages of the Xuanmo were moving at full speed in the sand, it would be difficult for Xiao Lingyu to capture them.

This middle-stage gerbil in the mysterious demon stage is not big, just like an ordinary wild wolf, but has a pair of yellow eyes as big as a fist and two furry ears.

It crawled on the ground, slowly moving forward, stopping from time to time, glanced around a few times, and then continued to crawl.

Suddenly, the gerbil stopped a hundred feet away from Xiao Lingyu, and his eyes were fixed on Xiao Lingyu, as if he had discovered something.

Under its perception, it felt like there was a faint but very special aura ahead. This aura was something it had never felt before and could not distinguish it.

What's ahead? Could it be a treasure?

The gerbil hesitated for a while, then slowly crawled towards Xiao Lingyu, and looked full of vigilance. It was estimated that if something was wrong, it would immediately escape into the sand.

When the gerbil approached less than twenty feet away from Xiao Lingyu, it suddenly stopped again and then acted to drill into the sand.

Unfortunately, the distance was too short. Before its entire body could completely sink into the sand, it felt like one of its hind legs had been caught, and a special and powerful energy had poured into its body, imprisoning its entire body.

Xiao Lingyu used light force to pull the gerbil out, then used his soul to attack him and knock him out.

Then, Xiao Lingyu chose a place to hide again, restrained his breath tightly, and threw the unconscious gerbil twenty feet away.

The coma gerbil was lying motionless on the ground. Xiao Lingyu had already untied his confinement and his unique aura was emitting from all directions.

Not long after, a sand eagle came over, but they were all sand eagles whose cultivation was less than the mysterious demon realm. Xiao Lingyu could only take action to scare them away.

On this night, there was no sand eagle in the Xuanmo period approaching Xiao Lingyu, so he still had no substantial gains.

However, Xiao Lingyu discovered an advantage of hunting gerbils, that is, his energy breath, which is not familiar to gerbils, and will arouse the curiosity of gerbils. If he releases his chaotic magic breath a little...

Thinking of this, he did this on another night.

The gerbil monster actually has another characteristic, which is that it has a very sharp sense of smell, at least much sharper than those sand eagles.

Therefore, the gerbil demons can feel the aura of chaotic magic that Xiao Lingyu slightly released, but the sand eagle flying in the air cannot feel it.

If you want those sand eagles to feel that Xiao Lingyu must release a strong momentum fluctuation, but this will scare away those sand eagles.

More and more gerbils came sniffing the breath of chaotic magic. As long as they were less than the level of Xuan Demon, they would be scared away by Xiao Lingyu.

After a night, the sand eagle that still had no mysterious demon realm flew over, but Xiao Lingyu captured five gerbils that were alive in the mysterious demon realm.

Just like that, while Xiao Lingyu was catching the gerbils in the Xuan Demon realm, he was patiently waiting for the sand eagle in the Xuan Demon realm to appear.

According to the experience of those falcons, as long as there is a gerbil with sufficient cultivation as bait, hunting sand eagles is definitely not a problem.

Sure enough, after waiting for nearly two months, a sand eagle from the late stage of the Xuan Demon finally pounced down from the air.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the sand eagle reached the ground. Just as its pair of sharp claws grabbed the unconscious gerbil, Xiao Lingyu turned into a silver light from dozens of feet away.

Unfortunately, Xiao Lingyu is not a falcon veteran. As soon as he flew over, the sand eagle had already flapped its wings, and its body suddenly rose hundreds of feet, and then disappeared into the dark night sky.

The failure of this hunting did not hurt Xiao Lingyu's confidence, nor could it disappoint Xiao Lingyu. He just changed the place and continued to wait patiently.

After several failures in succession, Xiao Lingyu finally realized a problem. Those sand eagles in the Xuan Demon stage should be very familiar with this space. It was too difficult to catch them, but there was no need to catch them at all. Just kill them or seriously injure them so that they cannot fly away or fly at full speed.

So, when another sand eagle descended from the sky, Xiao Lingyu directly slashed a chaotic sword with the Silver Moon Breaking Sword.

The speed of the Chaos Sword's light was naturally much faster than that of Xiao Lingyu's sudden rushing out, so he could hit the sand eagle without any accident.

The two wings of the sand eagle were as strong as gold and stone, and wrapped most of their bodies. But when they fell down at a rapid speed, their wings could not protect their necks and heads, and their necks were Xiao Lingyu's target of attack.

Even though the sand eagle is tough in flesh, it is impossible to block the attack of the Chaos Sword Light. When the Chaos Sword Light flashes, its head is separated from its body.

At this time, Xiao Lingyu rushed out, took off the head of the sand eagle, and quickly sealed it.

As for the headless body of the sand eagle, Xiao Lingyu threw it into the spirit beast bag, allowing the strange beasts who also possessed the magic of chaos to swallow it.

Then Xiao Lingyu cut open Sha Ying's head with the Silver Moon Break Sword and took out a piece of clumping crystal as big as a palm.

There is no other energy in this yellow crystal, and it only has very pure soul power. The monks can absorb it directly and easily refine the soul power in it into their own. This is the preciousness of the sand crystal.

"It's a waste to give such a good baby to someone else to use."

Xiao Lingyu stroked the sand crystal and thought unwillingly.

However, he was missing the fairy crystal to release the task. Xiao Lingyu thought about it and then thought, but finally put away the sand crystal.

After more than half a year, Xiao Lingyu collected ten sand crystals as he wished, and returned to the mercenary branch building in Zuoma City.

Xiao Lingyu felt much more comfortable after handing over the ten sand crystals to the counter and taking away 200,000 immortal crystals. If he hadn't had so many immortal crystals, he would never have been willing to give someone a treasure that was very useful to him.

"It takes more than twenty years to get ten sand crystals in about a year to earn 200,000 immortal crystals, and five million immortal crystals..."

While calculating, Xiao Lingyu walked to the center of the first floor of the branch building and looked for a suitable task on the light curtain on the wall.

There are many tasks for collecting sand crystals, but most of them are collecting one or two pieces. Xiao Lingyu has to take on tasks worth more than ten pieces. After all, it will take a little time to go back and forth.

When he arrived at the counter again, Xiao Lingyu took on another task of collecting fifteen sand crystals, paid a deposit of 7,500 immortal crystals, and then left.

After staying in Shayingqiu for another year and a half, Xiao Lingyu returned to the first floor of the Mercenary Branch in Zuomao City.

What Xiao Lingyu never expected was that when he arrived at the counter, the gentle and charming fairy who had been smiling and told him that someone had completed the task first and the reward had been taken away by others.

Xiao Lingyu knew before that anyone could accept the tasks issued by the mercenaries, and after you took them, others could still accept them. Whoever completed them first would get paid.

Of course, monks who later complete the task can get back the deposit they paid before.

"Haha, since you have fifteen sand crystals, then take another task. After taking the task, you are equivalent to completing the task and you can directly get the reward. This has no effect on you. After all, there are too many tasks to collect sand crystals here." After returning the 7,500 immortal crystals, the fairy smiled and comforted.
