Chapter 63: The Monsters of Mo Xu Mountain!
Chapter 63: The Monsters of Mo Xu Mountain!
Outside Yanhe Village, about ten miles away, an intense bloody stench permeated the air.
When Wu Meng and the others gradually regained consciousness, they were greeted by a terrifying sight.
Bear demon heads were neatly arranged in front of them, each with a ferocious and brutal appearance, emanating a chilling demonic aura as if they were still alive.
The group was so startled that they nearly fainted again.
Fortunately, Situ Qing's laughter brought them back to their senses, and they soon calmed down, turning their gazes to their surroundings.
Five or six massive bear demon corpses were scattered on the ground, with the cuts on their necks still oozing foul-smelling demon blood.
The ground beneath their feet, soaked in so much demon blood, had turned a deep red.
The group was shocked and immediately turned their heads towards Situ Qing.
"Brother Situ, you..."
Their voices conveyed shock, doubt, and anticipation.
Could it be that Situ Qing had broken through his bottleneck, unlocked his Life Wheel, and stepped into the Grandmaster Realm, allowing him to slay these bear demons, save them, and even drive away the Human Clan Grandmaster?
But they clearly remembered that Situ Qing seemed to have been defeated in just a few moves, not much different from their own plight.
Situ Qing shook his head and was about to explain when footsteps sounded from the nearby forest.
A slender and tall figure slowly emerged into their field of view.
"Are you all awake?"
After returning, Qin Zheng saw that all five Demon Slayer Commanders had regained consciousness and nodded slightly before asking.
As expected of Bone Refinement Realm experts, their physical qualities were indeed far superior to ordinary people.
"Young Master Qin, you're back!"
Situ Qing immediately stood up and respectfully addressed Qin Zheng.
With this attitude, combined with the large bow in Qin Zheng's hands, which they vaguely recognized, they instantly understood what had happened.
Whether it was the bear demons before them or the Human Clan Grandmaster who had sided with the demons, they were all defeated by Young Master Qin!
At this thought, the group was first shocked by Qin Zheng's strength and then filled with deep gratitude.
They approached Qin Zheng with solemn expressions, expressing their gratitude.
Their words were similar to Situ Qing's, as they were all members of the same squad.
Qin Zheng waved his hand and then asked, "With your injuries, it's unlikely you can return to the barracks quickly. What are your plans from now on?"
Hearing this, the group exchanged glances, and Situ Qing slowly replied, "We should send a message by pigeon to the N Character Camp and then temporarily rest and heal our wounds here in Yanhe Village."
Qin Zheng nodded and then looked at the bear demon corpses around them. "Leave these bear demon corpses to you."
As soon as he said this, the Demon Slayer Commanders from the N Character Camp widened their eyes, and their eyes seemed to sparkle with excitement.
Qin Zheng noticed that their pale faces were turning red at a visible pace, likely due to their overwhelming excitement causing accelerated blood flow.
These were six bear demon corpses rivaling the Grandmaster Realm! Together with the previous tiger demon corpse, there were a total of seven demon corpses of comparable strength.
For them, this was like a sudden and unexpected windfall.
Situ Qing excitedly assured him, "Young Master Qin, rest assured! After we deal with these seven demon corpses, we will definitely give you a satisfactory reward!"
Qin Zheng casually nodded.
For him, the gains from this trip were already substantial.
Including the bear demon he had defeated earlier, there were a total of seven bear demons.
They had contributed nearly three hundred taels of merit to him!
Moreover, the Human Clan Grandmaster, Li Ye, had contributed over thirty taels of merit, a set of arrow techniques, and a large bow.
Qin Zheng was no longer interested in these bear demon corpses.
After several harvests in Black Goose City, he already had thousands of taels of silver, and money no longer held much appeal.
Medicinal pills for cultivation and refining qi and blood were also of little interest to him.
What he needed most now were high-quality lightfoot and blade techniques.
His Ghost Head Blade Technique was somewhat inferior, always aiming for the enemy's neck with limited variation, restricting his combat options.
So, after some thought, he said to the group, "I don't need medicinal pills or silver for now. Can you exchange them for two sets of martial arts techniques? One lightfoot and one blade technique."
The Great Jin Dynasty tightly controlled martial arts, mainly in the hands of aristocratic clans and martial sects.
So, he wasn't sure if these Demon Slayer Commanders, who were only in the Bone Refinement Realm, could meet his request.
As expected, upon hearing this, Situ Qing and the others exchanged glances, revealing hesitant expressions.
However, they still nodded and agreed, "Okay! We'll do our best to make it happen!"
Qin Zheng smiled slightly.
Now, he had close-combat blade and palm techniques, the Bodyguard Divine Technique, and a perfect arrow technique for long-range combat, making him a well-rounded martial artist.
With the Bodhimanda Wisdom Technique reaching the 10th layer, Qin Zheng directly possessed a strength of 10,000 jin!
With such comprehensive abilities, Qin Zheng suddenly realized something.
Why should he flee?
With his current strength, he could take down a monster of the Master Realm with a single strike.
Even a Grandmaster would not be his match.
Why should he run like a lost dog?
The Mo Xu Mountain is a terrifying and perilous place for ordinary people due to the presence of monsters.
But for him at this moment, it was a treasure land filled with immeasurable merit.
With this thought, Qin Zheng's perspective changed.
He turned to Situ Qing and the others, asking, "How many monsters in Mo Xu Mountain do you know of?"
The group was slightly startled but replied, "The Mo Xu Mountain Range is vast, and the number of hidden monsters is immeasurable."
"However, the Great Demons in the depths of the Mo Xu Mountains are deterred by the National Guardian Martial Saints, and they dare not easily step into the Great Jin territory."
"As for Mo Xu Mountain, it's the intersection between Qingzhou and the Mo Xu Mountain Range. The monsters there are far inferior to those in the depths of the mountain range."
"But they are still quite powerful, capable of dominating an area and ruling over others. Their strength rivals that of the Human Clan Grandmasters."
"We, the N Character Camp, deter the monsters in Mo Xu Mountain, preventing them from easily descending the mountain and harming the citizens."
"This time, we came because a Tiger Demon descended the mountain, and we were ordered to capture it."
As they spoke the last sentence, they felt a bit embarrassed.
After all, the Tiger Demon was also of the Master Realm, and they were only of the Bone Refinement Realm. If it weren't for the Elder Monk and Qin Zheng's intervention, they might have lost their lives to the Tiger Lord.
Hearing this, Qin Zheng nodded in understanding and now had a general idea about the Mo Xu Mountain.
In other words, the monsters in Mo Xu Mountain were at most of the Master Realm.
Situ Qing thought for a moment and continued, "There are many monsters in Mo Xu Mountain, but a few of the strongest rule most of the area."
"A black bear, a toad, and a vulture, also known as the Bear Sovereign, Toad Sovereign, and Eagle Sovereign."
"These three monsters are significantly stronger than ordinary Grandmasters, which is why they can rule over Mo Xu Mountain."
"But it's also because these monsters are more sensible, controlling most of the other monsters in Mo Xu Mountain, which helps the N Character Camp manage the mountain."
"Additionally, since they haven't caused trouble by descending the mountain, the N Character Camp hasn't taken action to clear out Mo Xu Mountain."
"But this time, not only has the Tiger Demon descended and caused trouble, but the Bear Sovereign has also sent his subordinates to create chaos, and there's even a Human Clan Grandmaster working with them."
"This time, the N Character Camp will definitely not stand idly by. After we send this information by pigeon messenger, the N Character Camp will take action against Mo Xu Mountain."
At this point, Situ Qing looked at Qin Zheng with a probing gaze and asked, "Young Master Qin, you asked about this. Are you planning..."
Qin Zheng glanced around and said, "If I kill these bear demons, how can the Bear Sovereign let me off?"
"Instead of waiting for them to come to me, I'll take the initiative and confront them directly!"
"At least... these beasts won't be able to harm the citizens along the way!"
Mo Xu Mountain, a steep cliff with a cave.
A large eagle, about three meters in size, soared through the sky and landed steadily in the cave.
"How is it? Was the person who killed the mother bear's old friend Qin Lihu?"
At the same time, in the dark cave, a pair of golden pupils seemed to open, releasing divine light, and a voice asked.
The eagle trembled slightly and quickly replied, "Reporting to the Great King, although there were traces of the Demon Slayer Commander, the person who took action was not Qin Lihu."
"The person who acted looked quite young, and his clothing was ordinary, not like someone from the N Character Camp."
Upon hearing this, the golden pupils in the cave narrowed slightly, as if in deep thought.
The eagle continued, "Reporting to the Great King, Eagle Sixteen was also shot and killed by that person."
"Hmm!"
In the cave, the golden pupils suddenly widened, and a voice said, "You said Eagle Sixteen was also killed by him?"
The eagle nodded vigorously, confirming, "That person seems to understand archery, and he's much stronger than the mother bear's old friend. His arrow shot out, shattering the stone."
"Eagle Sixteen couldn't dodge in time and was blasted into a shower of blood on the spot."
In the cave, the golden pupils became solemn.
"Li Ye's archery is not bad, but he couldn't even hit Eagle Sixteen, let alone blast him with an arrow."
"This Human Clan's strength is probably not weaker than Qin Lihu's!"
"That's right! The bear demon sent Li Ye down the mountain because someone killed their son on the mountain. Could it be this person?"
"Eagle Twelve, go with Eagle Seventeen and Eagle Eighteen to investigate the identity of the person who took action!"
"Also, call Eagle Thirteen and Eagle Fourteen to keep an eye on the situation near Mo Xu Mountain and focus on checking if the person who took action appears."
"If it's really as I suspect, this mother bear is going to be in big trouble!"
The eagle nodded in agreement.
In the cave, the golden pupils remained in deep thought for a long time before slowly closing again.
