The eldest and second eldest sisters stood inside the mountain gate, watching Ye Liang and his junior sister go up the mountain.
The two lingered for a long time.
"Senior Sister, I'm really worried about Junior Brother and Junior Sister. They're so weak; we shouldn't have sent them up the mountain so early." Second Senior Sister Su Qing was genuinely concerned about sending her two still-weak junior brothers and sisters up the mountain so soon. She couldn't help but worry about what would happen if they encountered dangerous wild boars again, like last time.
They may not be as lucky as they were this time.
Senior Sister Qi Xue said, "Junior Sister, do you think it's safer to stay in the sect? I also weighed the pros and cons and felt that staying in the sect might not be safe, which is why I agreed to let them go up the mountain. Junior Brother is well-prepared; he's not a reckless person. On the contrary, I think it might be safer for Junior Sister to go up the mountain with him than to stay in the sect. What do you think, Junior Sister?"
“That’s right. We killed those bandits, but they won’t let it go. Senior Sister, I understand your good intentions.” The second senior sister smiled slightly, no longer so worried about her junior brother and sister.
On the contrary, I think it might be better if they're not at home right now.
Because home may not actually be safe.
These bandits dared to set fire to the Bixian Sect yesterday, and today they even dared to send people to kill them. Who could have imagined what even more heinous things they would do next!
It might be more dangerous at home.
Understanding this, Su Qing felt even more sympathetic to her senior sister's decision and her good intentions.
The eldest sister said, "From now on, the two of us must keep our swords in hand at all times and patrol to protect the sect. We must also take turns sleeping at night. We also need to move to the core area of the sect. It will be safer there. Now there are only the two of us left in the sect, and we can't afford to split our forces any further. If there is any unusual activity, we will fight them together."
"Yes, Senior Sister!" The Second Senior Sister was moved and accepted the order, showing no fear of death.
——
We've gone up the mountain.
Climbing the mountain is tiring; you'll feel exhausted after walking for only a short while.
Despite being tired, Ye Liang led his junior sister and continued up the mountain. He wanted to cross the ridge to see what the other side was like and whether it was suitable for hunting and gaining experience.
Along the way, whenever they encountered a large rock with a peculiar shape, Senior Sister Yang Ting would take the pickaxe she had forcibly obtained from Ye Liang and vigorously tap it, leaving no stone unturned, wanting to see if there were any rare minerals inside.
This isn't just for fun.
It is indeed possible to gain something from it.
You can even directly obtain spirit stones.
Of course, it all depends on luck.
Ye Liang himself did the same when he came to prospect for a mine; he would first tap around and try his luck. The only thing that made him better than his junior sister was that Ye Liang had mining skills. If he made any discoveries, Ye Liang could immediately use mineral identification to determine the likelihood of finding any minerals in the area.
Currently, there is no such occurrence.
However, Ye Liang was not in a hurry.
Because we've only just started climbing the mountain.
How can you find something so soon after you start climbing a mountain, still at the foot of it, without having gone far?
Both prospecting and hunting require patience.
Arriving at the place where he had previously gathered firewood, encountered a wild boar, and hunted it, Ye Liang first put down his things. Then, he used a hunting trap skill to set a trap, preparing to capture something.
Ye Liang felt that since he had encountered wild boars here last time, it meant that wild boars were already active in this area.
So perhaps, this time we can still gain something. At least it's much more reliable than randomly setting traps elsewhere.
Setting up a trap is a life skill, so Ye Liang doesn't need to actually dig a hole slowly, stroke by stroke.
All you need to do is use the skills.
This is very convenient.
However, it takes some time to figure out the tricks in the skill design.
It's not that having a little skill will immediately lead to a huge problem.
Instead, you have to wait until the progress bar reaches the end.
"Setting traps, 1%, 2%, 3%..." Compared to the progress bars for forging and enhancing equipment, this hunting skill for setting traps progresses much more slowly.
The progress bars for forging and enhancing equipment are almost always moving at 10% or 20%. They're moving incredibly fast.
However, the progress bar for setting up the trap only progresses slowly, step by step, at 1% increments.
It moved as slowly as a snail crawling.
However, considering that this is a skill for digging pits and setting hunting traps, which involves a large amount of earthwork, it's not hard to understand.
Ye Liang told his junior sister that he was going to set a trap, which would take some time.
The junior sister then took the initiative to draw her enhanced +8 Qingxuan Sword to help Ye Liang protect him.
Although Ye Liang's current actions still struck her as strange and incomprehensible, with so many oddities surrounding him, she began to accept them without surprise.
Anyway, whatever Ye Liang wants to do, she can just follow along, watch, and accompany him.
There's no need to ask so many questions, because it's useless. Ye Liang himself can't explain what's going on.
"Ye Liang, do you think that if we encounter a wild boar again now, with the Azure Profound Sword, I could fight it one-on-one?" Remembering how she and Ye Liang almost died together under the tusks of a powerful wild boar yesterday, the junior sister couldn't help but wonder if she could improve her skills and become easier to deal with if she encountered such a boar again.
After all, she is very different today than she was yesterday.
She now possessed the divine weapon, the Azure Profound Sword!
