After discovering the wasp, the two men did not lead their horses down the river bank again.
The original plan was for the two of them to set up an ambush on the beach, with Shen Rui as the bait, and Xia Daxue using a 40-meter spear to sprint down the river embankment and assassinate the river python in one fell swoop.
But now that they discovered the wasp stalking them in the distance, their plans naturally changed.
Xia Daxue took out her binoculars and looked around. She had long since discovered that since joining the so-called Shen Rui's team, her vision had been very clear and she could clearly distinguish extremely distant places.
Coupled with a special telescope, the observation range is greatly enhanced.
After careful observation, her expression suddenly changed.
"You are right. It is indeed a mantis stalking a cicada, followed by an oriole. 15 kilometers to the west of us, a group of wild wolves are quietly approaching; 7 kilometers to the east, a group of black goats; 8 kilometers to the south, a group of wild goats. Dogs; five kilometers away to the north, there is a swarm of wasps circling."
Every time Xia Daxue said something, Shen Rui's heart became heavier.
These aberrations are intelligent. They just started hunting for a day and a half and killed five aberration kings, which caused a group of aberrations around the castle to attack!
They are no longer the ignorant beasts they used to be. Even if humans hunt them in front of them, they don't know how to unite against the enemy, let alone take the initiative to change the situation.
No wonder there are some high-level practitioners of physical arts in Luzhou Fort, but they rarely initiate such large-scale hunting operations. They just passively hunt while defending the city.
First, it is a hunting boss, which is too dangerous. Human physical arts practitioners of the same level are often no match for bosses of the same level.
Just like the Wild Boar King, if Shen Rui hadn't relied on the "Lance Dash" given by Golden Finger, it would have been impossible to break up its defense.
If you want to rely on large numbers of people to besiege the boss, if you can't break the defense, you'll lose people.
Secondly, they were worried about encountering a wild ambush situation like today. If it weren't for their golden fingers, the two of them would probably have to deal with it here.
Xia Daxue is a genius sent by a mysterious organization. His knowledge and strength are at the top level in this small town. She is afraid of him, let alone the other physical masters in the castle.
It’s not like those experts have no escape route, so how could they risk huge risks and take the initiative to hunt?
"What should we do now?" Shen Rui asked.
"I have no choice but to retreat to the city first. I can't take risks. I have almost collected resources in the past two days. Besides, I can't take care of you with that swarm of wasps." Xia Daxue sighed.
Shen Rui nodded slowly, becoming more and more aware of the insidiousness of these strange things.
Human beings are the sheep they keep in captivity, just like the queen wasp hiding deep in the jungle. It will not allow ignorant monsters to hunt and kill humans at will on its territory, reducing the offerings, but it will not allow humans to Power beyond its control!
The two then mounted their horses and galloped all the way. Before being surrounded on all sides, they ran for more than an hour, along a semi-abandoned county-level road, all the way back to the east gate of Luzhou Castle.
As soon as Shen Rui arrived, he heard the neighing of horses and sheep in the distance. Now he thought about his old horse, which should still be fostered in a nearby stable.
Thinking of this, he said to Xia Daxue: "Sister Xia, I'm going to get my horses. You can return these four horses first."
"Okay, it's basically safe here. I'll prepare the medicine for you. You should have a good rest today and prepare for the monthly exam on Monday." Xia Daxue instructed.
"Understood." Shen Rui handed the horse to Xia Daxue and walked to the stable.
Xia Daxue looked at his back and didn't move for a long time. It wasn't until the other party entered the stable far to the north that he drove his horse into the castle.
Shen Rui successfully used the horse tag to take away the old horse, and then rode slowly.
At this time, he suddenly spotted a familiar person in the nearby racecourse.
It's squad leader Fu Yunqing. She is training equestrian under the guidance of a middle-aged man.
After thinking about it, Shen Rui didn't go over to say hello, it was better not to waste the other person's time.
He just heard the voice of the other party and the middle-aged man in the distance.
"Teacher Zhao, I am always a little slow to get on the horse, will this have any impact?"
"Oh, just ask your family to choose a shorter horse for you next time. When you grow up for another year, it should be almost the same."
Shen Rui returned to the castle amidst the conversation between the two people.
He rode a horse to his home community, Fengming Villa.
After arriving downstairs, when no one was paying attention, he put the horse directly into the inventory, and then went upstairs.
My parents are both at home. One advantage of working in the city is that I can have a day off on weekends. This is probably also the advantage of a small town. The pace of life is not so stressful.
Of course, this is for people at the bottom who have no hope of practicing cultivation. For middle and high-level people, as long as they are determined to make progress, one day should be used as two days.
As soon as he got home, Shen Rui placed the somewhat damaged two thousand circulation coupons on the table.
"Mom and Dad, this is for you. You can exchange it at the exchange office and use it when you have time. Don't work so hard in the future." He said quite proudly.
He was short of time and had no time to exchange these things, so he gave them to his parents, and everyone was happy.
These two thousand circulation coupons are equivalent to the total salary of my father for more than five years.
Father Shen rubbed his eyes, picked up the pile of circulation coupons, and looked around. Except for some damage, most of them were in good condition.
"Awesome, my son is really developed. You have just been in high school for one month, and you are better than your father and I who have worked hard for five years." Father Shen said very pleased.
After hearing this, Shen Rui felt very comfortable. He has always believed that the greatest pride of being a child is to be able to support oneself and support one's parents.
"My son is definitely better than you..." Mother Shen came around, her face full of pride.
"Hey, there are even five hundred denominations. I have never seen such a big one."
"I haven't seen it either. One hundred is rare." Father Shen shook his head.
From the beginning to the end, Shen Rui's parents never once doubted whether Shen Rui's money came from shady sources. Yes, in their hearts, their son has always been such a great person.
From elementary school to junior high school, I never let them worry.
"Forget it, we don't need that much, and we don't have any place to spend money at home," Father Shen sighed, and then said, "I will exchange it for you after work tomorrow. It will be enough to leave two hundred for the family. You use the rest, and practicing will consume a lot of resources. I have heard from my colleagues a lot these days that the monthly exam is coming soon, and many people have gone to the exchange office to borrow money."
"Don't worry, dad, I still have a noble person to support me." Shen Rui said against his will. In fact, it is still uncertain who will support whom.
"That's good. I've heard a lot about you in school. I heard they said that you are one of the most outstanding freshmen in the school. You must not be proud and must continue to be so." Father Shen muttered.
"Okay, okay, the child has finally returned home. Don't worry about it by saying these things. Let the child have a good rest. I will go out to buy food and cook." Shen's mother said as she went out.
Not long after, a neighbor's voice came from outside the door.
"Sister Shen, you didn't go to work again this Sunday?"
"No need, my child is successful now. It's enough for me to go to work. Why do I need to work again? I'm going to buy some meat for my child to make up for it."
"The child in your family is pretty good. Unlike ours, he can't study all day long and is scolded by the teacher every day. I think there is no hope of getting into the No. 1 Middle School."
When Shen Rui heard these words, his heart moved and he said to his father: "Dad, you can ask around next week if there are any villas with large yards for sale in this castle?"
"What, you want to buy a villa?" Father Shen asked in surprise.
"Yes, I am not short of money now. If I need a bigger place to practice in the future, I will always practice in the school without any concealment." Shen Rui said cautiously.
"Well, what you said is that I will help you pay attention to it." Father Shen is a sensible person. Although he feels sorry for money, he also understands that if you can't cultivate, it will be useless no matter how much money you save.
