Chapter 29

"There's naturally no problem with his character." Bei Qiao took out a small notebook and drew some symbols that only he could understand: "I just don't know what it will be like when we work together, let's wait and see." Aura is a subtle thing. Some people are good people, but they just can't get along. If they force themselves to get together, both of them will feel embarrassed.

"It's just a part-time job, no need to take it so seriously, right?"

"Be more serious, and you will have less trouble in the future."

"Yes. So did I pass?"

Bei Qiao held out a hand: "Congratulations! But there's no work to do now."

"Haha, congratulations! It doesn't matter if there is no work. It will be easier for me to get work as long as I have a shop." Xinji shook it carelessly: "The profession of hunter is really miserable. Apart from the standard private yard, you can only buy hunting dogs. If you want to buy a horse, you have to save money yourself. There are no preferential policies at all." In the future, things can finally be relaxed a little. The days when there were no horse-drawn carriages in the village were really difficult. It was not convenient to sell things.

After agreeing to distribute the contract after returning, Bei Qiao continued to observe his teammates, occasionally glancing at the surrounding flowers, plants and trees.

The plants and animals of this other world were somewhat similar to those of the outside world, but there were also many species she had never seen before. She didn't know whether these plants had mutated due to the different environment, or whether they had once existed in the outside world but had become extinct for various reasons.

The small grass in Beiqiao's hand was a species she didn't recognize. Xinji, who often went to Yuanshan, said that this was not a common plant in the local area. It might have grown from seeds brought by birds. She just didn't know whether it was a herb or a weed.

Xin Ji released the bored hunting dog and let it go on its own. "We can sell the herbs to Qi Zhi. Wild grass... whatever. It's unlikely to be spiritual herbs. Our range of movement on Yuanshan is limited. The spiritual energy in these areas is very thin. Even if we absorb it all, we won't be able to produce a single spiritual herb." In immortal cultivation novels, the possibility of picking up spiritual herbs is basically non-existent. Spiritual herbs are big consumers of spiritual energy. For a spiritual herb to grow, it needs a lot of spiritual energy. Is there any spiritual energy on Yuanshan... what do you think? Of course not. If there was, it would have been occupied by cultivators as a sect's headquarters long ago. How could there be a novice village?

"As long as they are of some use, it's fine." Bei Qiao pulled out a few more whole blades of grass from the ground: It's impossible to tell which part is useful, so just take them all away.

Putting the grass in his pocket, Bei Qiao looked at the sky and wiped the sweat off his face. It's so hot! Today is a perfect day to dry the quilts... Ah, I have to remember to go back early to collect the quilts, and check on the crops in the yard while I'm at it. They've been unattended for a few days, I wonder if they're still alive.

"Although we're only on the outskirts right now, don't let your guard down. Some wild animals might wander in here while patrolling their territory." Xin Ji flicked his wrist and knocked unconscious a snake that had crawled out of the bushes with a stick. He then lifted it up by the head, tied a knot, and opened its mouth to extract its teeth. "If you see a particularly ferocious wild animal, don't be afraid, and don't look away..."

Xi Shi was chasing a squirrel and said: "This way I can die with dignity."

"... This will buy time until I come over to deal with it." Xin Ji stuffed the toothless snake into his pocket, looked over quietly, and then quickly looked away a second later, frowning and looking to the side and back: What's that sound?

"Oh..." Xishi turned her head away, not noticing Xinji's serious look. She pretended nothing had happened and continued chasing the squirrel.

"careful!"

"Oh my god!" When Bei Qiao reminded her, Xi Shi also heard something wrong. She subconsciously bent her waist and legs, narrowly avoiding the attack that passed by her head.

The wolf that attacked Xishi was a rather disheveled one, its fur matted with blood and looking dirty, and one of its eyes blind. After missing its target, it quickly fled. Xishi, swinging a rolling pin as thick as a pillar, couldn't catch up with it, but she managed to hit the wolf's tail, which made it howl in pain and run even faster.

"I missed!" Xishi picked up the rolling pin and looked at the hole she had made and the wolf hair in the hole: "It ran so damn fast!" Forget it, since she was here, the wolf hair is also a gain. She will go back and see if she can make a brush to give to someone.

"What happened!" Others heard the noise and ran over.

"Xishi just chased away a wolf...Okay, Xishi, stop chasing it. Come back quickly after getting the things. Wolves are social animals. We have to leave here before the wolves arrive." Even if the wolves don't come, the wolves themselves are very vengeful and we can't give them a chance to retaliate.

Xinji took everyone on a different route, even wading through a river. The further we went into the mountains, the more animals and unknown insects we saw. Even wearing long sleeves and long pants, the insects still annoyed us.

"Can I leave? I'm really going crazy!" Xishi covered his exposed face tightly with a sack. "This is outrageous! I think I'm going to be anemic. Even if I go back and eat three pounds of dates, I might not be able to make up for it."

"We were able to go before, but not now. We have already entered the inner area of ​​Yuanshan. It is not safe for you to go back alone. You can only keep going forward."

"Alright." Xishi angrily poked two holes in the sack and put it on her head: "Don't laugh at me, or anyone who laughs at me will have no buns to eat!"

"Okay...Puff!"

As they continued walking, they encountered more and more large animals. If Xinji were alone, he would have dared to catch a large one by kite flying, but now he was surrounded by several people who had more than enough fighting power but less experience. After all, his life could not bear the risk.

"I think I smell the sea breeze," Bei Qiao sniffed. Having grown up in a coastal city, the smell of the sea breeze was all too familiar to her. The sea breeze from the other side of Yuanshan mingled with the scent of the forest, creating an indescribable aroma.

Bei Qiao: In short, it smells very good. I always feel that smelling it more often can prolong my life.

"The outermost part of Yuanshan is indeed close to the sea, but we can't reach the sea by ourselves. I have tried many times, but never succeeded." Although the death of a resident account means that you will not be able to log in for a year and you have to abandon the old account, exploring the new world is an ideal that players cannot give up. Xinji, who logged in to Yuanshan Village, not only hunts to make money and travels to various places to broaden his horizons, his favorite adventure is exploring Yuanshan.

Yuanshan Village wasn't a secluded, backward place. Xinji had encountered monks who were cultivating the mountain more than once. From them, Xinji learned that beyond Yuanshan lay the sea. However, because the altitude rose higher and the wild animals became more numerous as one went further out, ordinary people couldn't walk from Yuanshan to the seashore. They could only enter the sea from afar and catch a glimpse of it from afar.

"View from a distance"

"They say that where Yuanshan meets the sea is a cliff, and the sea is full of reefs and whirlpools. If a ship gets close to it, the ship will be destroyed and people will die." Xinji wanted to see with his own eyes whether what they said was true or not, but the beasts in the depths of Yuanshan had too strong a sense of territory. Every time he approached, he would be chased and blocked. No matter whether he showed goodwill or threatened with force, it was useless.

"Alright, stop! No further." Xin Ji raised a hand, signaling everyone to halt. "This is the limit of their tolerance. Everyone, just explore outwards from my position. Don't go any deeper. Everyone, please be careful and don't get caught up in the harvest. Safety comes first. If you don't listen, you will bear the consequences."

Judging from their combat power, the wolf couldn't get here, so they could rest assured for the time being. Xinji had been to this area many times, including once not long ago, and was certain that there weren't any particularly dangerous plants growing here. As long as no one tried to commit suicide, the probability of everyone returning alive was practically 100%.

"The air here smells so pleasant..." Zhong Tian stood in front of Xin Ji and looked behind him: If I were a cannon fodder, I would probably rush over now.

"Of course spiritual energy smells pleasant. If you smell it for a long time, living to a hundred and fifty years old is not a problem." Xin Ji poked Zhong Tian back with a finger: "Don't look at it. If you look at it for too long, you really won't want to leave." Otherwise, how could these animals not even let people pass by just based on their territorial consciousness? Of course, they know how good spiritual energy is, and they will never share it, especially with others.

"Okay!" Zhong Tian turned around following Xin Ji's force: "I'll listen to your advice." The fourth disaster was not always reckless.

Everyone dispersed again, each looking for their own targets. Although everyone had said before going up the mountain that they would not leave without a reward, after actually encountering a living creature, everyone still backed off.

In this era, self-defense classes have been incorporated into compulsory education. When faced with wild beasts, aside from those who skipped classes or feigned illness, most people could manage to fight them with varying degrees of skill, with the duration depending on strength and luck. But...

"What are the weapons in your hands for? Are they for scraping them?" It was the same just now, and it was the same this time. Everyone looked so helpless when encountering wild beasts, which made Xinji very upset.

"We've never seen blood!" Li Qingqing said helplessly: "With technology so advanced and life so convenient these days, who starts cooking by killing a chicken? Of course, they wait for the seller to process it before taking it home! In reality, being able to cut meat for cooking doesn't mean you can also cut into living things."

"I'm sorry, I remember the Animal Protection Act so clearly that I just can't do it." Bei Qiao pinched the wing of a pheasant with a super beautiful tail and held its beak to prevent it from pecking people.

"Where did you catch the pheasant?"

Bei Qiao stretched out his arms: "In the grass over there. I just saw this chicken watering a flower, and out of curiosity I moved closer. As a result, I don't know what happened to this guy, but he jumped over with his wings flapping and tried to scratch me with his claws." Fortunately, he had mastered the art of light work after practicing martial arts, and dodged it in time.
