Experience of living in a chaotic world of demons

Chapter 98 Tragic scene at Cangshan Mountain! The clan elders gambled!

Gu Sheng carried the bear corpse and did not go to Gujia Village. Instead, he found a secret cave to deal with the bear corpse. He would wait until nightfall and then bring it back to the village so that others would not notice it.

He did not intend to reveal that he had hunted another blind bear.

This was not in line with the normal combat power of a stone-skinned warrior. It was reasonable to hunt a tiger with a broken leg occasionally, but if he hunted injured large beasts one after another, it would be easy to be suspected.

With the Great Snake Breathing Technique, Gu Sheng could easily avoid the patrols of the warriors in the village.

In fact, the patrol frequency in the outer village was very low, and even many warriors would not come here, otherwise the wolf pack would not have reacted so slowly when entering the village.

It was late at night.

Gu Sheng returned home and took a deep breath. He was always a little uneasy.

After a few sets of iron-stone fists, he was still a little anxious.

When he dealt with the bear corpse, he found that the flesh and blood of the wild bear was indeed much shriveled, as if something had sucked away some of its essence, which made Gu Sheng feel a little hairy.

"Something must have been born in the depths of Cangshan Mountain. You must not go there again during this period!"

He had a firm look in his eyes and made up his mind. He planned to remind Gu Erniu and several hunters who were close to him that it would be best not to go into the mountains to hunt in the near future.

Even if the frequency of large beasts really increased during this period, he would not be jealous. If the thing in the mountain really ran out, it would be really difficult to deal with. He had finally cultivated to the blood refining realm, and he could not capsize here.

Gu Sheng remained as cautious as ever, and did not become arrogant because of his stronger strength.

The next day.

Gu Sheng reminded Gu Erniu, Zhang Ze and others indirectly, because there were more large beasts in the mountains recently, and it was better to wait until the storm passed. Zhang Ze and others naturally responded well, because just yesterday, a warrior from Dahe Village also hunted a big insect!

Zhang Ze and others were not fools. Large beasts were not something that ordinary hunters should touch.

Without a warrior leading the team, even if a beast is hunted

In the past few years, there were only two in a year, but recently they have appeared in large numbers, which is really weird.

Seeing that Gu Erniu and others listened, Gu Sheng felt relieved.

He emphasized it again to Gu Erniu in private, and Gu Erniu nodded repeatedly, and his attention was raised. Gu Erniu knew Gu Sheng's cautious character very well, and now this reminder is definitely not aimless.

But not everyone will be afraid.

Some people think this is a godsend opportunity. If a single person can't deal with a big insect, then team up to kill it!

There are even warriors who lead the team into the mountains.

After all.

Big insects or blind bears are worth dozens of taels of silver, and ordinary warriors in the skin refining realm will be tempted. Even if they get a part of it, it is a good harvest.

The news slowly spread to nearby villages and even farther.

Gu Sheng also received an invitation from a warrior in the same village.

An iron warrior led the team into the mountains to find an opportunity to hunt wild beasts. Gu Sheng was a famous archer. If he could join, hunting would undoubtedly be much easier.

Outside the shed, a young warrior named Gu Jinmu was inviting Gu Sheng.

"Ah Sheng, which of the warriors' training does not require resources? You must be short of money now. Now the frequency of wild beasts in the mountains has increased greatly. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You and I will work together. With your archery and my strength, we will definitely have a good harvest, and we can even hunt more than one!"

"When the time comes, we will have the resources for training, and our martial arts will progress faster in the future."

The young man's face was somewhat resolute. Although he was born in the master's family, he did not get many resources. When he saw this opportunity, he naturally couldn't hold back.

Gu Sheng looked at Gu Jinmu and declined:

"Brother Jinmu, I am also very tempted, but I have gained insights in my practice of Iron Stone Fist these days and don't want to interrupt. I can only thank you for your kindness."

Gu Jinmu's expression stagnated. He didn't expect Gu Sheng to refuse such a good opportunity.

He found it hard to understand.

Since Gu Sheng rejected the marriage proposal from the elders, it meant that he did not want to be constrained. In this case, he should obtain resources at all costs, otherwise how could he make great progress in martial arts.

As for not wanting to interrupt the practice of Iron Stone Fist, it was most likely an excuse.

"Ah Sheng, you..."

Gu Jinmu looked at Gu Sheng with some complexity. He and Gu Sheng did not have much interaction. They only guarded a purchasing team together once, but he had a good impression of Gu Sheng.

Although Gu Sheng was not talkative and did not like to socialize, he still felt that Gu Sheng was a person worth making friends with after a brief contact, so he wanted to take this opportunity to further the relationship and strengthen his own network. Gu Sheng's archery was still valued by many people.

Gu Sheng apologized:

"I really don't have time recently. If I have free time later, I will come to help Brother Jinmu. However, I heard that several villages and forts around have hunted beasts recently. Brother Jinmu had better be careful and wait for the elders' opinions."

Gu Jinmu suddenly realized.

"So you're worried about danger. After all, you're born in a humble family, so you don't have much courage or knowledge..."

His eyes changed subtly, but he didn't show it.

"Forget it, Ah Sheng, think about it again..."

Gu Jinmu turned and left.

Gu Sheng shook his head slowly. As a master of the Blood Refining Realm, he could naturally sense the flash of contempt and ridicule in Gu Jinmu's eyes, but he wouldn't care. If something really happened, it would be too late to regret.

He had already reminded Gu Jinmu, which was considered to be his utmost kindness. Even if he spoke out his guess, he would probably think that he did not want to take risks.

Moreover.

Whether this was a danger or an opportunity was indeed just Gu Sheng's guess. What if Gu Jinmu listened to Gu Sheng's advice and did not go into the mountain, and others had a rich harvest in the future, and they might even become enemies, then there was no need.

Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth is determined by heaven. Gu Sheng only needs to take care of himself. Even if Zhang Ze and others do not listen to his advice, he will not stop them.

After closing the courtyard door, Gu Sheng began to practice on his own.

Next, he only needs to wait quietly for the black market auction to arrive. Counting the income brought by the wild bear the day before, he can collect 300 taels of silver before the black market, and he should be able to buy what he wants.

In the next few days.

Gu Sheng practiced silently at home and took two more medicinal baths. The effect of the blood nourishing powder was still the same as before.

But Gu Sheng had already begun to notice that the power of the medicine was weakening. If the flesh and blood wanted to continue to transform, he would need more nourishing blood powder, or more precious medicine.

This meant more resources.

This gave Gu Sheng a headache, and he kept thinking about how to make money.

However, this was not something that could be done in a hurry, so Gu Sheng could only calm down.

Just when Gu Sheng thought he could wait safely until the black market auction started, something unexpected happened.

He did not expect the accident to come so quickly.

After Gu Jinmu and others chose to go into the mountains, at least a dozen warriors from the surrounding villages and forts brought hunters into the mountains to hunt. In just a few days, the surroundings were turbulent, and as too many people went into the mountains, many people unknowingly approached the deep mountains.

This immediately caused a disaster!

In one day, all the people who entered the mountains, whether warriors or ordinary people, died one after another, and only one in ten could walk out!

And they were all able to escape at the extreme periphery.

The forest was filled with the smell of blood, which made people shudder.

In the deep mountains, a bloodthirsty demon fox came out of the deep mountains after being angered. All humans were no match for it. Whenever they met it, they would be sucked dry of blood and flesh.

Warriors were no exception and had no power to resist.

Gu Jinmu failed to get out of the deep mountains.

When Gu Sheng learned the news, he was silent for a long time. He was glad that he withdrew early and resisted his heart, otherwise he would have the same fate as Gu Jinmu!

Judging from the description of the survivors, this demon fox was not something that a blood refining warrior could deal with.

Gu Jinmu's death did not cause much waves in Gu Sheng's heart. The key was another person.

Zhang Ze.

Gu Sheng had been practicing at home these days. He didn't expect Zhang Ze to go into the mountains with Gu Jinmu.

"Asheng, Aze..."

Gu Erniu's eyes were red. He and Zhang Ze grew up together and often went hunting in the mountains together. Seeing Zhang Ze end up like this, he was very sad.

Gu Sheng was also silent.

Zhang Ze was one of the people he had contacted the most in Gujiazhuang. Although the relationship was not as close as Gu Erniu, there was still some friendship.

Zhang Ze's death naturally made him feel a little upset.

"Aze was for his son. Gu Jinmu needed a hunter to take him into the mountains and promised to distribute the shares. He found me, but I was not moved, but Aze was..."

Gu Erniu covered his face with a painful look.

"Asheng, you clearly reminded him, but Aze still..."

Gu Sheng patted Gu Erniu on the shoulder and sighed.

This was determined by his personality.

The first time he went into the mountains to hunt, Zhang Ze was reckless and was almost pierced by a wild boar. This disaster might really be destined.

Zhang Ze has always been a bit of a gambler. He had a close call with the wild boar hunter and became much more restrained. However, it is difficult to change a person's nature. All hunters envy Gu Sheng's becoming a warrior.

Whether it is Gu Erniu or Zhang Ze, they have secretly made up their minds to let their children practice martial arts.

But resources are a topic that can never be avoided.

If you want to be successful in martial arts, money is a must, so Zhang Ze will be tempted after Gu Jinmu came to the door.

Gu Sheng whispered to comfort:

"In the future, we will help Brother Ze's family more..."

Gu Erniu nodded silently.

In this world, it is not easy to live without a male in the family. No matter how much everyone helps, some things cannot be replaced. We can only do our best.

"Now, let's see how the village handles it."

With such a big thing, it is impossible for Gujiazhuang to have no reaction.

In Gujia Village alone, more than 20 people died, including several warriors, hunters and herbal farmers. If the people from other villages are included, the death toll is more than 100.

...

Gujia Village meeting hall.

The three masters of Gujia Village and the elders were sitting solemnly. They had learned everything about what happened in Cangshan.

In fact, they knew about the abnormal appearance of large beasts a few days ago, but they didn't have time to react before such a change happened.

"It's a pity for Jinmu..."

One elder sighed.

But more people were thinking about how to deal with it. Cangshan feeds a large number of people in the nearby villages. Now there is a demon fox entrenched. If it is not solved, it will cause big problems in the long run.

"This demon fox is different from the demon wolf discovered the year before last. It sucks blood essence. The concentration of demon blood is definitely much thicker than that of the demon wolf. Not a blood refining realm warrior can deal with it."

Gu Changming said in a deep voice.

If possible, they would of course also want to hunt down this demon fox. By then, Gujiazhuang's background would surely be even better.

Although the monster is powerful, its whole body is full of treasures, which is very helpful to human warriors.

It's a pity that there is no way to do it. The three masters of Gujiazhuang all come out, most likely to deliver food.

"If you can't deal with it, let others deal with it!"

"Send this news to the magistrate!"

The rich man stamped the cane in his hand and shouted in a deep voice. He had gray hair, but his eyes were bright and clear.

"There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. Sooner or later, there will be a battle between the Black Sand Gang and the magistrate. We must take sides this time, otherwise life in Gujiazhuang will be even more difficult in the future. With the strength of the magistrate, there should be no problem in dealing with this demon fox. We will pass this news on. From now on, we are on the same front as the magistrate!"

He glanced at Gu Changming and said:

"Chang Ming, without further ado, come over and say that our Gujiazhuang is willing to send out experts to help the magistrate hunt the demon fox!"

Everyone nodded slowly, all agreeing with the big clan elder's decision.

Gu Changming said categorically:

"Okay! I'll leave now, before the Black Sand Gang gets the news first!"

This is most likely a demon fox that is comparable to the masters of the Bone Refining Realm. It is enough to make the county magistrate Liu Yuanhu and the Black Sand Gang Zhao Honglie greatly moved. Even if it cannot make their strength further, it is enough to make the masters under their command stronger.

Now it's time to rush.

See who can get the news first.

After Gu Sheng sent Gu Erniu away, he practiced quietly at home. The slightest trace of complacency he had felt in breaking through the blood refining realm had completely dissipated. In this world, dangers are everywhere, and the blood refining realm is far from enough.

He needs to become stronger.

late at night.

The sound of trampling horseshoes woke Gu Sheng up.

Waves of strong energy and blood were as eye-catching as fireflies in the dark night. Gu Sheng's heart trembled, so many masters of the blood refining realm!

But he didn't feel any murderous intent.

It was obvious that he was not here to destroy Gujiazhuang, which made Gu Sheng feel at ease.

"Which force is this? County Magistrate Liu Yuanhu?"

Gu Sheng understood the plan of the elders of the Gujiazhuang clan. It was because he could not deal with the demon fox, so he simply invited others. Perhaps he took this news as a step forward.

It must be said that the elders of the Gujiazhuang clan reacted very quickly.

If it were a little slower, the news would be worthless.

Gu Sheng watched from a distance as the group of warriors arriving late at night stopped in the direction of the master's house, and confirmed his suspicion.

He contained his curiosity very well and had no intention of spying.

In fact, there is no need to spy, it is not difficult to guess.

In the entire Canghe County, there are not many people with this kind of strength. The Black Sand Gang is a pest that has been sucking blood in Gujiazhuang for many years. Gujiazhuang will definitely not choose to take advantage of the Black Sand Gang, so most likely it is the county magistrate Liu Yuanhu.

"They will probably go into the mountains tomorrow. It's a good idea to deal with this demon fox as soon as possible..."

Gu Sheng said silently in his heart.

If the demon fox is not dealt with, it will always be a knife hanging over the heads of the surrounding villages and forts. Although the demon fox was not killed this time, if there had been a sudden killing spree that day, the casualties would have been much heavier than this time.

Gu Sheng didn't want to be in this kind of environment all the time.

He closed his eyes to rest and waited silently.

really.

The sky turned slightly white, and figures from Gujiazhuang rushed out and headed towards Cangshan Mountain. To his surprise, no one came to notify him of this hunting of the demon fox.

Gu Sheng originally thought that since he was good at archery and had hunted in the mountains all year round, he would be asked to lead the way together.

However, this was good, and Gu Sheng felt relieved to avoid being in danger and avoid the trouble of hiding his cultivation level.

He was still very afraid of monsters that were different from human beings.

It would have been better for him to stay back.

After dawn.

Gu Xiaojiang came to the door worriedly.

Gu Sheng also knew the whole story. The people who entered the mountain this time were all Blood Refining Realm warriors. They didn't bring any Skin Refining Realm warriors with them, let alone ordinary hunters.

And he also knew that those who came were indeed the warriors under Liu Yuanhu's command, and he even came in person.

He attaches great importance to this demon fox.

When a group of Blood Refining Realm warriors went into the mountains to hunt, the efficiency would naturally be several times higher, and the soldiers would be very fast. If Liu Yuanhu wanted to capture this demon fox quickly, it would be a waste of time to bring ordinary hunters with him.

"A Sheng, my father also went into the mountains together..."

Gu Xiaojiang was a little worried. Since Gu Dajiang was injured the year before last, his strength had dropped a lot, and he was at the bottom of the blood refining realm. At this time, he went into the mountains to hunt for powerful demon foxes, and he was worried about encountering danger.

Gu Sheng could only pat his shoulder and comfort him:

"Gu Jiaoxi and Lord Changming also went into the mountain together. They will take good care of Uncle Dajiang. Don't worry."

This time Gujiazhuang is a big gamble.

The only three blood refining realm masters all accompanied Liu Yuanhu into the mountain in order to gain Liu Yuanhu's trust. If something goes wrong in this hunt, it will definitely be a disaster!

However, with Liu Yuanhu, a master of the Bone Refining Realm, leading the team, it would not be so dangerous.

Gu Xiaojiang looked towards Cangshan Mountain and kept drinking. Under such circumstances, he had no intention of practicing martial arts.

Gu Sheng could only accompany him and could understand Gu Xiaojiang's worries.

He was also worried.

If something really happened in Gujiazhuang, the days of peace and stability that had finally come would be broken again.

Time passed slowly, as if the entire Gujiazhuang was shrouded in haze.

Ordinary tenants didn't know yet, but those who knew the news were all worried.

The sun was setting.

Just when the two thought that the people who entered the mountain might have to spend the night in the mountain, Gu Sheng's eyes suddenly moved, and he vaguely sensed a large group of blood and qi waves rushing towards this side.

His mind turned.

"Back? I wonder if you hunted the demon fox?"

Soon, a shout came from outside the yard.

"Xiao Jiang, Xiao Jiang! Go to the main family's meeting hall quickly, your father and others are back!"

There was uncontrollable joy in that voice.

Obviously.

This time, Gujiazhuang won the bet!
