Chapter 65 The second-level monster
The huge roar that suddenly came, roaring and vibrating like heavy thunder, shocked both Gao Xian and Zhu Qiniang.
The ambiguous pink atmosphere that had accumulated in the room was shattered by the sudden roar.
Zhu Qiniang's eyebrows were slightly raised, her green eyes were extremely bright, and she was no longer distracted or obsessed.
She tilted her head slightly to identify the direction of the roar, "Northwest, at least a mile and a half away from us. The roar was huge and deep, it must be a second-order monster..."
Gao Xian also sensed the location of the monster, and the magic of Da Ou was promoted to the master level, making his six senses sharper than those of Qiniang.
It's just that he doesn't know much about monsters, so he can't make a judgment in a short time like Qiniang.
He was a little surprised and asked: "There is not a magic circle around the Pegasus gathering to drive away monsters, so why would monsters break in?"
The Pegasus Collection was able to be established because it was protected by a huge magic circle, which effectively prevented the invasion of monsters.
Gao Xian has been in Pegasus for almost a year and has never encountered a monster around Pegasus.
Today is New Year's Eve, and all the cultivators in Pegasus Ji are celebrating the New Year.
At this time, a second-level monster came running. I don't know how much damage it will cause.
Gao Xian asked Qiniang: "What should we do?"
He didn't want to meddle in other people's business. The second-level monsters were equivalent to foundation-building cultivators, at least similar in strength to foundation-building cultivators. They were not something he could deal with. There's no need for him to do this.
He was asking whether he should hide or choose an appropriate response to keep them safe.
Zhu Qiniang thought for a moment and said, "I have a beast-repelling talisman. You put it on first, so that the monsters don't really rush in."
She then comforted Gao Xian: "Although the second-level monster is powerful, it is unlikely to rush to the central area of the Pegasus gathering. The casual cultivators on the periphery are enough for it to eat and drink."
The monster is not a cultivator. It kills people just to fill its stomach.
There are now more than 20,000 cultivators in Pegasus. No matter how much second-level monsters can be eaten, ten or eight cultivators will be full.
A monster that is full will definitely return to its lair, and there is no reason to continue to move forward.
Gao Xian nodded. Although what Qiniang said was cruel, it was very reasonable.
Just the fact that the monster broke into the Pegasus gathering like this still made him feel uneasy.
The peaceful and joyful atmosphere of the New Year has been destroyed by monsters.
“We'll do the night watch separately, you go to bed first.”
After all, it was a second-level monster, and Zhu Qiniang did not dare to be careless. She asked Gao Xian to rest first, and the two of them took turns to keep watch.
Gao Xian went to bed first, and when he woke up in the middle of the night, Qiniang went to rest.
The reason why Daniu was not asked to keep vigil was because Daniu's cultivation level was too low. By the time he realizes something is wrong, it may be too late.
New Year's Eve passed like this, and at dawn, Gao Xian and Qiniang went to check the situation together.
The two of them saw a large area of house destroyed from a distance, with blood stains everywhere on the ground, and even some broken limbs. The scene looked quite tragic.
There were a large number of cultivators around, and everyone looked wary and uneasy.
It's one thing to go into the mountains to hunt monsters, but it's another thing to have monsters break into your home.
Gao Xian and Zhu Qiniang looked around and then went home. In fact, there was nothing interesting to see. The second-level monsters were very destructive. At least twenty cultivators died last night.
For Pegasus Ji, the more than twenty cultivators are less than one-thousandth of the number.
However, these twenty cultivators were killed by monsters, which destroyed Pegasus Ji's sense of security. It made the more than 20,000 other cultivators feel intensely uneasy.
The second-order monster beast that appeared on New Year's Eve had a huge impact on Pegasus, and the cultivators were all worried.
On the way back, Gao Xian suddenly said to Qiniang: "It will be a good thing for you."
Zhu Qiniang immediately understood what Gao Xian meant. The sudden appearance of the second-order monster made all the cultivators feel uneasy.
The practitioners must purchase large amounts of elixirs, magical tools, and talismans to prepare for emergencies.
She nodded: "Indeed."
Zhu Qiniang was not happy, she sighed softly and said: "There must be someone behind this incident when a second-level monster appears on New Year's Eve."
“The magic circle has been destroyed. I'm afraid it won't be repaired in a short time. In the future…”
In the short term, the appearance of monsters will make drug stores make money. However, the monster destroyed the safety of Pegasus.
If the problem cannot be solved as soon as possible, the casual cultivators gathered in Pegasus Ji will inevitably leave. Fortunately it is winter and the mountains are covered with heavy snow. The casual cultivators have nowhere to go even if they want to leave.
Zhu Qiniang said to Gao Xian: "You should prepare some beast-repelling charms."
“Is the beast-repelling talisman useful?” Gao Xian was very doubtful.
“The beast-repelling talisman can seal the smell of people and various breaths, making it difficult for monsters to detect. To be precise, it should be called the beast-avoiding talisman..."
When he came back, Gao Xian went to Zhou Ye and got ten beast-repelling talismans.
The beast-repelling talisman originally cost one spirit stone per piece, but now it has been increased to three spirit stones per piece.
Zhou Ye was pretty good to Gao Xian. Ten beast-repelling talismans only cost ten spiritual stones.
Back home, Gao Xian gave Daniel five beast-repelling charms.
Gao Xian doesn't really believe in the beast-repelling talisman. This thing sounds similar to Wuyingyi, but the effect is far less than Wuyingyi.
It's better to earn more humane aura and upgrade Wuyingyi to the full master level.
According to his experience, upgrading a skill to expert will bring about a qualitative change, and upgrading to master level will completely change the level of the skill. Reaching the full level of Grandmaster can fully tap into the full potential of your skills.
Wuyingyi is currently only at the Grandmaster level, and is still two thousand points short of the full level.
If you really want to reach the full master level, you should have no problem dodging monsters.
Unfortunately, the sudden outbreak of the monster crisis will greatly dampen the cultivators' enthusiasm for leisure and entertainment.
The spiritual stones of cultivators are limited. If they use them to buy elixirs, magical tools, and talismans for self-protection, they will have no money to buy Lujiaosan and Tiangui Dan.
In a short period of time, the sales volume of these two elixirs will inevitably drop significantly.
Gao Xian does not have an urgent need for spiritual stones now, but he does have an urgent need for humane spiritual light.
Humanity Emmanuel is making more and more money, but the gap is getting bigger and bigger.
Because of the threat of monsters, Gao Xian did not dare to rest. There are so many medicinal materials at home, if a monster breaks into them, it will be over.
The best way is, of course, to refine all the medicinal materials into elixirs.
Gao Xian started refining elixirs that day. He was busy all day long in his first year of junior high school and practiced more than a thousand Tiangui pills.
That night, Gao Xian heard the roar of a monster again. He and Daniel stayed in the same room, spending the restless night holding the beast-repelling charm.
At noon the next day, Gao Xian was refining elixirs in the alchemy room when he heard a knock on the door.
Daniu hurriedly went out and asked, "Who is it?"
The people outside hesitated for a moment before responding: "I'm looking for Gao Xian. Is Gao Xian here?"
When Gao Xian heard the soft voice, Qingping's appearance immediately appeared in his mind.
“Holy shit, how did you find this witch?”
Gao Xian was a little surprised. He moved without notifying Qingping. Only Zhou Yuling, Qiniang, and Huang Ying knew that he lived here, and Zhou Ye didn't even know that he had moved.
How did Qingping find him?
Daniu didn't know how to deal with it, so he looked to Gao Xian for help.
Gao Xian didn't want to see Qingping, but the other party came to visit her, so she probably couldn't hide away.
He said to Daniel: "Please come in."
The courtyard door opened, and Qing Ping, dressed in a green Taoist robe, walked in. She first looked at Da Niu curiously. This honest and sturdy young man was probably a helper and there was nothing noteworthy about him.
Qingping immediately turned her attention to Gao Xian.
Having not seen each other for several months, Gao Xian seemed to be a different person.
It's not that Gao Xian's appearance has changed, but that his clothes have changed, the temperament between his brows has changed, especially the look of calmness and confidence in his eyes. He is no longer the young and frivolous person he was before.
Qingping suddenly saw the green lotus crown on Gao Xian's head, and her heart moved: "Why did the green lotus crown fall into his hands?"
Although she was surprised and doubtful in her heart, the smile on her face became more charming: "Axian, I haven't seen you for a long time. My sister misses you so much..."
