Chapter 272

Chapter 271 Deep into the Black Forest (Thanks to [Wu Fangqi] for the 5 update reminder tokens!)

“Fellow Daoist, would you like to join the group?”

“Our destination is the cave dwelling of Huang Yuanhua, the Golden Core cultivator of human character!”

“Special offer now, only one mid-grade spirit stone, we’ll go once we have five people!”

Because Huang Yuanhua’s cave is open to the public, Dongqing City, especially the scattered cultivator market, is now experiencing a peak in visitor traffic, with tourists everywhere wanting to visit.

Some people even traveled all the way from Xuanxin City just to catch a glimpse of Huang Yuanhua’s cave dwelling.

At this moment, Xu Changqing, who had left the inn, had changed his clothes and bought a low-end version of the Crow Venerable’s outfit, called the Mysterious Fire Robe.

Although a thousand years have passed, Venerable Raven still has many fervent followers, the vast majority of whom have fire spiritual roots.

Where there is demand, there will naturally be a market.

The Xuanhuo Robe is a wide-sleeved robe that reaches the ankles.

It adopts a diagonal front and right-fastening style, with a high collar that resembles the curve of a crow’s beak, flared cuffs, and a three-inch-wide dark gold trim sewn along the outer edge of the hem.

The main color is dark red.

The secondary color is burnt black.

There is a touch of moon white at the cuff.

Five fire crows, four of which were already circling in the sky.

Only Ya Da, with the highest potential, now stands on Xu Changqing’s left shoulder.

Two large, round, dark brown eyes scanned their surroundings.

As for Xu Changqing, he kept his eyes closed the whole time, using the shared field of vision to observe his surroundings, giving him a rather unfathomable air.

He chose to join a guild, entering a demon-hunting team called “Red Tiger”.

There are five people in total.

Three men and two women.

Two team members are at the late stage of Qi Refining, and one team member is at the peak of Qi Refining.

The captain has reached the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, while the vice-captain has just broken through to the early-Foundation Establishment stage.

The captain’s name is “Red Tiger”. He has awakened the fire elemental root and looks burly and strong with dark skin. He has very obvious scars on his face and body.

The vice-captain was named Zhang Laizi. Although her name was strange, she was a female cultivator. She was unkempt and looked sloppy, wearing a gray short-sleeved outfit.

She held a semi-transparent dagger in her hand, her eyes exceptionally sharp.

One of the male team members on the left is thin and hunched over, with withered skin.

His name was Wang Linxun, and he held a vine whip covered with sharp, poisonous thorns.

The woman in the middle is a female team member named Zhou Cui.

Although he has an ordinary appearance, he is wearing a leather bodysuit.

He was curious about everyone, his gaze constantly scanning them up.

The third member on the far right is a male cultivator named Li Tie.

He looked even more imposing than the captain, Chi Hu, standing at least two meters tall, with exceptionally thick, calloused hands.

He held two rather heavy black iron hammers in his hands, with runes faintly visible on them.

Because they hunt demons year-round, they all exude a dangerous aura.

They look reliable; they’re not some fake, temporary team.

Now, with Xu Changqing added, there are exactly ten people.

“Set off!”

Without saying a word, Chi Hu gave a shout and led his men out of the city.

Huang Yuanhua’s cave is located in the deepest part of the Black Forest. It would take at least half a day to a day to travel there and back.

If it happens to be nighttime, you’ll have to spend the night there.

“Red Tiger is leading a group again?”

“They haven’t stopped working during this time!”

“There’s no other way. Li Tie has been stuck at the Qi Refining stage for many years and urgently needs a Foundation Establishment Pill!”

Once they left the city, they encountered even more demon-hunting teams.

Some went into the Black Forest to hunt monsters.

Others, like Chi Hu and his group, chose to lead a group.

Once outside the city, Chi Hu glanced at the five temporary members who had joined the group and said in a deep voice, “Although Huang Yuanhua’s cave is safe, the Black Forest is not. You must listen to us along the way, or leave now.”

Neither Xu Changqing nor the other four took any action.

They were very interested in Huang Yuanhua’s cave dwelling and would not leave easily.

Seeing this, Red Tiger was very satisfied and continued, “Because of the distance, and the frequent appearances of monsters, we may have to spend the night in the Black Forest. Is that alright?”

“no problem!”

Someone responded.

Chi Hu exchanged glances with the other four team members, and then said seriously to Xu Changqing and the others, “If you help with any of the monsters you encounter along the way, you will all get a share of the profits afterwards.”

After saying that, he took out a spirit beast ring.

Three spirit beasts were summoned from within.

Xu Changqing recognized them all at a glance.

One of them is an iron-backed pangolin.

Earth element, extremely high defense, adept at burrowing underground.

It has a gentle nature and is especially suitable as a spirit pet.

The other two were very tall blue-backed wolves.

It must have been domesticated not long ago, as it still looks like it retains some wildness.

However, what Xu Changqing cared about most was actually the vice-captain Zhang Laizi, who actually summoned a pair of gray flying wheels with three kinds of spirit patterns on them.

They are:

Gale Pattern

Solidification

Rock-breaking patterns

Red Tiger leaped up and jumped onto the back of the Ironbacked Pangolin, then pointed to the other two Bluebacked Wolves and said, “If you don’t have a means of transportation, you can ride with these.”

In response, everyone except Xu Changqing called out their means of transportation.

Some are paper cranes in flight.

Some are land-based mythical beasts.

Xu Changqing swayed and landed on the back of a blue-backed wolf.

He sat cross-legged.

Strangely enough, this blue-backed wolf still retained some of its wildness.

As he approached, her eyes became clear.

Soon, the ten-person demon-hunting team sped into the depths of the Black Forest.

Opposite Xu Changqing sat the second female member of the Red Tiger Squad.

My dear reader, there’s more to reading—even more exciting content awaits!

Zhou Cui wearing a leather bodysuit.

At this moment, she looked at Xu Changqing, who had kept his eyes closed the whole time, with great curiosity.

When he took out the finest spirit rice to feed the fire crow on his shoulder, his eyes lit up.

Therefore, Zhou Cui couldn’t help but ask, “Fellow Daoist, judging from your attire, you must be a follower of that Raven Venerable, right?”

Xu Changqing raised an eyebrow and asked in return, “Isn’t it obvious?”

“Uh.” Zhou Cui was speechless.

As time went by, they gradually ventured deeper into the Black Forest.

That sense of security vanished without a trace in an instant.

Everyone, whether it was Chi Hu or the other people who had joined temporarily, tensed up.

After all, there are many monster lairs in the Black Forest.

To date, the demon-hunting team of Dongqing City has only explored one-third of the area.

Many people are unclear about what lies deeper inside.

And coincidentally, Huang Yuanhua’s cave dwelling was located in that very deep area.

“Something’s coming.” Through the shared vision of the fire crows in the sky, Xu Changqing noticed something rapidly approaching from his right.

However, he did not reveal this discovery.

Rather, they wanted to test whether Chi Hu and the others were truly qualified.

If that didn’t work, Xu Changqing turned around and left, going back to choose a stronger demon-hunting team.

In short, although this trip mainly involved fire elemental roots, the style of action remained unchanged: cautious and prudent, never letting down one’s guard.

Suddenly, a rustling sound rang out.

Immediately afterwards, a pungent, fishy smell surged in from the other side!
