After a while, the ground was covered with corpses, including eighty or ninety mutant rune beasts.
The Eagle Demon said: "The mutated rune beasts...have all run away!"
Guo Twelve was extremely busy. After the mutated rune beast died, it had to collect the soul within a few minutes, otherwise the soul would dissipate, so he had no time to focus on other things and concentrated on collecting the soul beads. He was not as good as Qi Nanshan With this ability, he can condense it into essence beads with just a grab. He can only collect them using spells, which is much slower.
Xuan Ai was also in a hurry. He had never seen so many corpses of mutant rune beasts. He wanted to collect and condense their blood essence before the mutant rune beasts drained the blood in their bodies.
It wasn't until he was unable to condense the essence beads that Guo Twelve discovered that the essences had dissipated. After all, he was not a great saint master. After counting the condensed essence beads, he found that he had collected more than 30 essence beads, and more than 50 more. The spirit of the mutant rune beast dissipated.
Guo Twelve sighed and began to refine blood essence beads. As long as the mutated rune beast's blood has not dried, some blood essence beads can be purified. After working for more than an hour, less than two hundred beads were purified. The blood essence beads are of average quality. After all, they are only level four and five mutant rune beasts, with level four being the majority.
Xuan Ai smiled bitterly and said, "This life is not easy."
There is not a single mutant rune beast in the field of vision, and they are all scared away by the giant dragon. If there are only dark-winged scorpions and knife shadow beetles, maybe these mutant rune beasts can still fight, but when they encounter it, they will be promoted to level nine. Mutated giant dragons, these low-level mutant rune beasts can only run away.
After carefully counting the mutated rune beast corpses on the ground, Xuan Ai said: "Nearly a hundred of them... far exceed my mission..."
The Eagle Demon asked: "What do you mean?"
Guo Twelve smiled and said: "In other words... he has exceeded the task."
The Eagle Demon nodded and said: "I'll help skin and cut the flesh." Even though the essence and blood were extracted, the skin, flesh and bones of these mutated rune beasts are also very valuable. The Eagle Demon has also received inheritance about collection, and he can do it very skillfully. Do this kind of work.
Holding the hidden talisman bag, the Eagle Demon used his own talisman blade to start skinning and cutting the flesh.
Guo Twelve said thoughtfully: "Are the mutant rune beasts at level six and seven also so dense? If they are also so dense, it will be difficult for us to hunt."
Xuan Ai said: "The mutated rune beasts at levels five and six are relatively concentrated, but the difference between levels six and seven is that they have a certain territory...but the territory is very small...well, it won't be as dense as before."
Guo Twelve said: "This is not bad, otherwise we will die..."
Xuan Ai said: "That's not true. You see, when we left the city, most professionals formed teams, or even several teams joined forces. It was rare for us to do this. Only three people dared to rush in and hunt the mutated rune beasts. .”
Guo Twelve smiled and said: "We can only hunt low-level mutant rune beasts, and we still dare not touch the high-level ones. At most, we can only hunt level seven mutant rune beasts, and we have to rely on the power of the giant dragon, otherwise there is really no chance. grasp."
A pile of corpses of mutated rune beasts, most of which were badly broken and torn apart by the giant dragon. There are also some mutated rune beasts whose meat cannot be eaten because they were hit by the poisonous sting of the dark-winged demon scorpion. Contains a large amount of toxins and can only be used as food for Darkwing Scorpions and Shadow Mantises.
There are only more than thirty corpses of mutated rune beasts that are worth skinning and cutting. Some of them are very large and need to be collected by the Eagle Demon. The other relatively small corpses are handled by Guo Twelve and Xuan Ai. It didn't take much time to hunt down the mutated rune beasts, but it took the three of them most of the day to collect their fur, bones and flesh.
By the time everything was done, it was already dark. Guo Twelve said, "Let's find a place to rest. The smell of blood here is too strong!"
Xuan Ai was not familiar with this place either. In the past, he was limited to entering and exiting Qing City, and did not dare to enter the secret wasteland. He took out the talisman and inspected it for a while, and said: "There is an abandoned small village not far away. It is getting dark soon. Let's hurry up." Click here, it is estimated that there are still mutated rune beasts entrenched in the small village, and they need to be driven away before people can live there."
Guo Twelve was too lazy to put away the giant dragon. He flew onto the back of the giant dragon and said, "Let's ride over there on the giant dragon."
Xuan Ai flew up and said with a smile: "It is convenient to have a powerful spirit beast."
The Dark Winged Scorpion and the Blade Shadow Beetle also flew onto the back of the giant dragon. Guo Twelve drove the giant dragon and ran towards the direction pointed by Xuan Ai.
The running movement of the giant dragon was very loud, and each step could reach more than a hundred meters. Its huge soles stepped on the ground, and heavy trampling sounds could be heard for miles around. The surrounding low-level mutant rune beasts heard the wind and fled. I didn't even dare to meet him face to face.
A moment later, Guo Twelve saw the small village in the distance. The houses had been basically destroyed, with only some ruins remaining. As the giant dragon approached, the mutated rune beasts entrenched in the village fled quickly.
Xuan Ai envied again: "It's good to have spirit beasts. We can find a clean place without us taking action. It's not easy for professionals who come out to hunt to find a safe campsite."
Guo Twelve said with a smile: "Why don't you raise a beast talisman?"
Xuan Ai smiled bitterly and said: "Who doesn't want to raise one? But the animal raising talisman... requires a lot of soul power. I'm not as perverted as you. Alas, it's not that I don't want it, it's that I can't afford it."
Guo Twelve said: "It's strange. I see very few professionals who play with animal talismans. Is it because of this reason?"
Xuan Ai said: "Not surprising, in our inheritance, there are very few skills to cultivate spirit beasts. Only in ancient inheritance, spirit beasts or spirit insects are used, and... there are disadvantages to using spirit beasts and spirit insects. , once the spirit beasts and spirit insects are restrained..."
Guo Twelve smiled and said: "I understand that once I am restrained, I will be in danger... right?"
Xuan Ai nodded and said: "Yes, this is the biggest problem in controlling beasts and insects, but you seem to be different, and you have the ability to control talismans... Haha, don't worry about these, there are powerful spirit beasts, right? The professionals are very helpful.”
Eagle Demon found a half-collapsed house, cleaned it a little, laid out a thick animal skin mat, lit a pot of charcoal fire, and asked Guo Twelve and Xuan Ai to come and sit down.
Guo Twelve put the giant dragon outside and let it hunt on its own. The dark-winged scorpion and the shadow beetle were wandering around the village on guard. If they encountered a mutated runic beast, they would prey on it themselves.
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, Guo Twelve got up, rinsed his mouth and face, and after eating, the three of them discussed their next trip.
Xuan Ai said: "Let's go back to the city and hand in the tasks first, and then pick up new tasks."
Guo Twelve shook his head and said, "You've only been out for two days and you're going back. Are you kidding me?"
Xuan Ai couldn't help but laugh and said: "Who made your giant dragon so powerful? It only took one hunt and it completed the mission."
Guo Twelve said: "If we go to the activity area of high-level mutant rune beasts, even if we only hunt one seventh-level mutant rune beast, it will be better than killing a bunch of low-level mutant rune beasts here."
Xuan Ai said: "Level 7... Then it is very dangerous to go deep into the wasteland. What if we encounter a level 9 or 10 mutant rune beast? We can still fight against the level 8 mutant rune beast. Level nine and level ten...we can't beat them at all."
Guo Twelve said: "Not necessarily. If you encounter a level 9 or 10 mutated rune beast, even if you can't defeat it, you should have no problem escaping."
The Eagle Demon said disapprovingly: "Where are there so many ninth-level and tenth-level mutant rune beasts? You are too careful."
Xuan Ai said helplessly: "Uncle, you don't know the situation here. This place is very special. If there weren't so many mutated rune beasts... Think about it, a sect as big as Haimen can't clean up a secret realm... ...Until now, we can’t figure out where so many mutant rune beasts come from. Let alone level nine or ten. I heard from the elders that mutant rune beasts of eleven or twelve levels appear in piles. Yes, it’s very scary.”
Guo Twelve said: "We wander around the edge of the high-level mutant rune beast activity area, and we can always find lone seventh-level or eighth-level mutant rune beasts. Hunting down level five or six mutant rune beasts is not challenging, and the rewards are small." Not big."
Xuan Ai seemed to lack confidence. He was just a spell master. He wanted to hunt the fifth and sixth level mutant rune beasts. Although he was a little reluctant, he could still hold on. He was a little uncomfortable hunting the seventh and eighth level mutant rune beasts. Given his ability, Haimen did not encourage his disciples to leapfrog their ranks and hunt. He smiled bitterly and said, "I'll go...it won't be of much use."
Guo Twelve said with a smile: "You don't need to do anything, just do some auxiliary work."
Xuan Ai thought about it for a moment and nodded: "Okay, I need points." He will be promoted soon and needs inheritance points. If he can get one more chance to inherit, he will not be able to resist this temptation.
Guo Twelve asked: "How many points can you get for hunting a seventh-level mutant rune beast?"
Xuan Ai said: "The calculation method is very troublesome and I can't figure it out. Anyway, you should get a lot of points by killing a seventh-level mutant rune beast."
Guo Twelve recalled the giant dragon, took Xuan Ai, the eagle demon, the dark-winged scorpion and the shadow beetle, and ran towards the advanced mutant rune beast activity area.
Along the way, the giant dragon was rampaging, and large groups of low-level mutated rune beasts were dispersed. Xuan Ai kept checking the rune diagrams, and after half a day, he said: "We can't go any further. If we go down this road, we will enter the mountainous area. There are a lot of high-level mutated rune beasts there, let’s be careful.”
Guo Twelve discovered that there were far fewer low-level mutant rune beasts around him. Occasionally, he saw some sixth-level mutant rune beasts wandering around. He immediately ran away after discovering the giant dragon.
There are undulating mountains not far away, and there are many hills on the ground. The trees are lush and the view is somewhat obstructed.
Xuan Ai said: "Twelve, your giant dragon..."
Guo Twelve understood what he meant and cast a spell. The giant dragon quickly shrank and turned into a mini giant dragon.
Xuan Ai said: "Now we can look for the seventh-level mutant rune beast, let's see how lucky we are!" There was a hint of nervousness in his voice.
