Chapter 454: Underground Cold Pulse(1/2)
The group was walking through Qingliang Mountain. The leader was Mr. Wang.
"There is a waterfall in front of you, where you can rest." Dad Wang said to everyone. Meng Tingting shook his head and said, "We are martial artists and don't need so much rest."
Dad Wang smiled and said, "Of course I know you don't need rest, but animals need it. And that waterfall is the best resting place nearby. There will be many animals to drink water. If there are animals, there will inevitably be predators, and there will also be bugs."
Dad Wang is worthy of being an experienced hunter, and he explained it clearly in a few words. Meng Tingting smiled and said, "I am worthy of being an experienced old hunter, I am ignorant."
Dad Wang waved his hand and said, "In the past, we used to touch the lower vent to prevent the smell from being exposed to animals. However, with your medicine powder, we don't have to worry about it."
Hunters have their own experience, but martial artists also have their own advantages. Martial artists always have extraordinary things in their hands. For example, this medicine powder that covers the smell is contributed by a fellow practitioner.
This medicine powder is not cheap, and it would be a waste if it was used for hunting. But now everyone doesn't care, everyone here is missing that little money.
Soon, everyone hid in a hidden corner. Dad Wang whispered: "Instead of looking for insects aimlessly, it is better to stay here. The insects will definitely come to hunt."
Bugs are also top hunters, and Dad Wang can also be said to be a top hunter. Both sides have their own fields of expertise, but they all know the basic hunting knowledge.
Not long after hiding, a martial artist suddenly said, "Here you come!"
Zhang Ying's eyes also narrowed, and his eyes now turned into tiger eyes. His dim eyes passed through the bushes and he saw a grayish-white shadow flashing past.
"It's a bug!" someone whispered.
“Come on!”
Without saying a word, everyone followed the bugs secretly.
The bugs are all active in groups. Even if they are active alone during hunting, they will definitely gather together.
Tracking a bug can often find other bugs.
Sure enough, on a small hill, Zhang Ying and the others found more than a dozen insects gathered together.
"Action!" Zhang Ying gave the order and everyone rushed towards the insects.
Of course, more than a dozen insects would not be the opponent, and they were quickly cleaned up by Zhang Ying and the others.
After a while, Zhang Ying and others decomposed the insects, took off the edible parts, and burned the rest.
There is something similar to an organ in the insect's body. This thing changes according to the strength of the insect. This thing is a certificate of redemption of contribution.
The things in this lowest-level insect are very small, only the size of soybeans. After everyone divides them, they continue to look for traces of the insects.
Only this group of bugs were found in the end of the day.
Qingliang Mountain is very big, and ten thousand insects are scattered in it as if a drop of water falls into a pond, and it cannot cause any splashes.
At night, Zhang Ying and others finally stopped and started to make fire and roast insect meat to eat.
The insect meat is very nutritious, and as long as it is accompanied by an antidote, it is a good tonic.
Everyone was grilling and eating, like a wild barbecue party. At this time, Meng Tingting came to Zhang Ying and said, "It's too slow to hunt like this. I wonder if Junior Brother Zhang has any solutions?"
Zhang Ying looked at him speechlessly. Does this person think he is omnipotent?
He shook his head and said, "What can I do? Brother Meng respects me so much."
Meng Tingting sighed and said, "I just think hunting is too slow. What if others contribute more than me?"
Judging from his appearance, he seemed to really want the bloodline of the Winged Tiger. Now he himself is anxious.
Zhang Ying dialed the fire in front of him and said, "If you want to hunt more bugs, the best way is to find the insect king. There must be a lot of insects around the insect king."
"Or it would be to use a lot of flesh and blood to seduce the insects to the hook."
The former is very difficult. If the Insect King could be found, Cha Jingtian would have done it long ago. The latter is also time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Meng Tingting sighed.
In the following time, Mr. Wang took everyone to hunt insects through mountains and rivers with his familiarity with Qingliang Mountain.
Hundreds of insects died in their team in just a few days, and the journey was smooth sailing without any danger.
More than ten days later, everyone decided to return to Xiaoshi City for a rest.
Everyone has used up all supplies, mainly because they have used up all the antidotes for insect meat, so they cannot use war to support the war.
The forced mission in the sect has also been completed, and some of the people in this group do not intend to continue hunting bugs.
After returning to Xiaoshi City, seven or eight people said goodbye to Zhang Ying and went back to the Tiger Temple. The remaining seven people planned to continue hunting insects and earn merit.
After returning to the city to hand in the mission, Meng Tingting went to inquire about other people's progress.
In the evening, Meng Tingting found Zhang Ying and started to complain again and said, "Many people plan to fight for the Bloodline Evolution Pill, everyone is very energetic. I think my contribution may be a bit lingering."
He thought that finding Zhang Ying would be easy to get his merits.
But now the problem is that finding bugs is a big problem. Although they have experienced hunter Dad Wang, looking for prey is a matter of luck.
Hearing Meng Tingting's complaint, Zhang Ying hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "I know there may be a large number of insects in a place, but that place is very dangerous. Are you willing to go?"
Meng Tingting was stunned and said, "Is there such a place?"
Zhang Ying nodded and said, "There is a cool cave in Qingliang Mountain, and there is a cold vein underground. In the insect storm ten years ago, the insects had occupied it. So I think there will be insects in that place."
He continued: "But that cold meridian cannot last long without the level of Wuzong. The temperature below is still too strict for the martial artist."
After hearing this, Meng Tingting muttered to himself: "The cold underground veins..."
He bowed to Zhang Ying and said, "I understand this, I will think about it."
In the following time, Zhang Ying practiced well in the city for a few days. Then Meng Tingting came to the door again.
Meng Tingting said to Zhang Ying: "Brother Zhang! I have found a way to resist the cold underground meridians. Do you dare to go with me?"
Zhang Ying said in a little surprised: "Do you have a way to resist the cold pulse?"
Meng Tingting smiled and said, "I asked my sister to do this."
He continued: "My brother-in-law is the manager of the White Tiger Star Lord Hall. He borrowed a treasure from the White Tiger Star Lord Hall."
After saying that, he took out a bead from his arms and said, "It is this cold-avoiding bead. With this bead, the cold air cannot erode us."
Zhang Ying took the bead and saw that the light blue bead was the size of a pigeon egg and it was cool to the touch.
Meng Tingting said: "With this bead, the cold air can be separated from us three feet away. How about it, now we can get into the cold veins."
Zhang Ying nodded and said, "With this bead, you can try it."
Meng Tingting said excitedly: "Then go!"
Meng Tingting would not share such good things with others. They cleaned up and left Xiaoshi City. This time it was only his and Zhang Ying.
Zhang Ying knew the place in Qingliang Cave. After the two arrived at Qingliang Cave, they found a sign erected here.
"Dangerous inside the cave, please do not get close to it!"
The two of them curled their lips and moved forward over this sign.
Soon, the two of them entered the cave a thousand feet.
As Meng Tingting said, the cold-avoiding beads did block the cold air three meters away. Even though the temperature outside had turned into ice, the two of them did not feel any cold.
"This thing works, we can keep moving forward!" Zhang Ying said with a smile.
The two continued to move forward and fell another thousand feet. At this time, a large number of ice crystals had condensed around them. These ice crystals turned light blue under the extreme cold, and were harder than steel when knocked on.
Soon, Zhang Ying discovered the first prey.
This is a gray-white bug, its case is gray-white and has a metallic texture. This bug is certainly a bug that has evolved once!
The two looked at each other, Meng Tingting's eyes were full of excitement. Then they rushed up at the insect.
The bug was also surprised to find humans here. When it saw humans attacking it, it was even more surprised.
It swung its knife-shaped forelimbs, and the ice-blue knife-shaped forelimbs cut towards them.
After living in the cold veins for a long time, its body has adapted to the cold and absorbed the cold air for its own use. In one knife, there is the poison of ice and cold.
Zhang Ying's body was covered with tiger hair, and the iron tiger body was running. He suddenly fought head-on with the insect.
The insect knife slashed Zhang Ying's tiger hair, but did not cut through it. The insect couldn't help but be a little stunned. At this time, Zhang Ying punched the insect with a punch.
The insect wanted to hide. But Meng Tingting beside Zhang Ying secretly hit the side. This time the insect staggered, and then Zhang Ying punched the triangle on the head.
The insect's eyes were filled with stars, but Zhang Ying frowned. The fist that did not turn into a tiger's claw was indeed insufficient.
His current state is not enough, and his body's tiger transformation is not high. If he changes his hair, he cannot transform into tiger claws.
However, at this time, Meng Tingting beside him quickly filled with a tiger claw.
The bug was killed immediately.
It is still very simple for two martial artists to deal with a martial artist-level insect that has evolved once. They quickly cut off the organs on the insect and took away a few pieces of meat.
There was not much time to deal with the insect corpse, and the two of them quickly hid after they succeeded.
The underground cold veins are well connected, with countless caves and passages inside. Just by hiding, the insects can be searched for for a long time.
Meng Tingting said excitedly: "It's so cool. This is the contribution of ten points!"
Zhang Ying nodded and said, "There are some insects left before in the cold veins in the underground, and their strength should not be weak."
He looked at the two pieces of meat in his hand, frowned and said, "You can't make a fire, how should you deal with this meat?"
