Chapter 862

After a while, the ground was covered with corpses, at least eighty to ninety mutated rune beasts.

Falconer said, "The mutated rune beasts ….. have all run away!"

Guo Shier was extremely busy. After a mutated rune beast died, its soul had to be collected within a few minutes, otherwise the soul would dissipate. Therefore, he had no time to care about other things and focused on collecting the soul beads. He did not have the ability of Qi Nanshan, who could casually condense a soul bead, so he could only use an incantation to collect it, which was much slower.

Xuan Ai was also in a hurry, he had never seen so many mutated rune beast corpses before. He had to do his best to collect the blood essence of the mutated rune beasts before their blood ran dry.

Only when he was unable to condense any more soul beads did Guo Shier realize that the souls had already dissipated. After all, he was not a Great Saint Master. Counting the number of soul beads he had condensed, he had collected around thirty soul beads, and around fifty mutated rune beasts' souls had dissipated.

Guo Shier sighed and began to refine the blood essence beads. As long as the blood of the mutated rune beasts had not dried up, he would be able to refine some blood essence beads. After working for around an hour, he had refined less than two hundred blood essence beads of average quality. After all, they were only rank 4 or 5 mutated rune beasts, and the majority of them were rank 4.

Xuan Ai smiled bitterly, "This isn't easy."

There was not a single mutated rune beast in sight, they had all been scared away by the Perching Dragon. If it was only the Darkwing Magic Scorpion and the Shadow Blade Mantis, then perhaps these mutated rune beasts could still fight, but against the Perching Dragon that was about to reach rank 9, these low level mutated rune beasts could only run.

After carefully counting the mutated rune beast corpses, Xuan Ai said, "Nearly a hundred … .this far exceeds my mission …."

Falconer asked, "What do you mean?"

Guo Shier smiled, "In other words … .he exceeded his mission."

Falconer nodded, "I'll help with the skinning." Even if the souls and blood essence were extracted, the flesh and bones of these mutated rune beasts were still very valuable. Falconer had also received the inheritance regarding harvesting, so he was very familiar with this kind of work.

Holding the bag of talismans, Falconer used his Life Talisman Blade to start skinning the beasts.

Guo Shier said thoughtfully, "Are there so many rank 6 and 7 mutated rune beasts? If they are, then it will be very difficult for us to hunt. "

Xuan Ai said, "Level five and six mutated rune beasts are more concentrated, but level six and seven are different. They have a certain territory … just that their territory is very small … Hmm, it won't be as concentrated as before."

Guo Shi 'er said, "That's more like it. Otherwise, we would be courting death …"

Xuan Ai said, "That's not true. When we leave the city, most professionals form small teams, and some even work together. There are very few people like us who dare to rush in with only three people to hunt mutated rune beasts."

"That's not true," Xuan Ai said, "When we leave the city, most of the professionals are in small groups, or even a few of them. There are very few people like us, who dare to rush in with only three people to hunt mutated rune beasts."

There was a pile of mutated talisman beasts' corpses. More than half of them were torn apart by the Giant Perching Dragon. There were also some mutated Rune Beasts that couldn't be eaten, as they had been struck by the Darkwing Magic Scorpion's stingers. Their bodies contained large amounts of poison, so they could only be used as food for the Darkwing Magic Scorpion and Blade Shadow Mantis.

There were only thirty-odd mutated rune beasts' corpses that were worth skinning. Some of them were very large and needed to be harvested by the Eagle Demon. The other relatively small corpses were taken care of by Guo Shier and Xuan Ai. Hunting mutated rune beasts didn't take much time, but collecting their fur, bones, and flesh took more than half a day.

By the time they finished, the sky was already dark. "Let's find a place to rest, the smell of blood here is too strong," Guo Shier said.

"Xuan Ai wasn't familiar with this place, he was only limited to entering and exiting Clear City, he didn't dare to enter the secret wasteland. He took out the rune map and looked at it, "There's an abandoned village not far away, it's going to be dark soon, let's go there quickly, I think there are still mutated rune beasts in the village, we need to drive them away before we can live."

Guo Shier was too lazy to recall the Giant Perching Dragon, he flew onto its back and said, "Let's ride the Giant Perching Dragon."

"It's so convenient to have a powerful spirit beast." Xuan Ai also flew onto the Giant Perching Dragon's back.

"Dark Winged Demon Scorpion and Blade Shadow Mantis also flew onto the Giant Perching Dragon's back. Guo Shier urged the Giant Perching Dragon to run in the direction Xuan Ai pointed.

The Giant Perching Dragon's movement was very loud, every step it took covered more than a hundred meters, its huge feet stepping on the ground could be heard for miles, the surrounding low level mutated rune beasts all ran away, not daring to face it.

After a while, Guo Shier saw the small village in the distance. The houses were basically destroyed, only a few broken walls were left. As the Giant Perching Dragon got closer, the mutated rune beasts in the village quickly ran away.

Xuan Ai enviously said again, "It's good to have a spirit beast, we don't even need to do anything, we can find a peaceful place. It's not easy for professionals who are out hunting to find a safe campsite. "

Guo Shier laughed, "Why don't you raise a beast talisman?"

Xuan Ai bitterly smiled, "Who doesn't want one? But a beast talisman ….. requires a lot of soul energy, I'm not as perverted as you, sigh, it's not that I don't want one, it's just that I can't afford it. "

Guo Shier said, "Strange, I don't see many professions that use beast talismans, is it because of this?"

Xuan Ai said, "It's not strange, in our inheritance, there are very few skills to raise spirit beasts, only ancient inheritances like to use spirit beasts or spirit insects, and ….. using spirit beasts and spirit insects also has its disadvantages, once the spirit beasts and spirit insects are restrained ….."

Guo Shier laughed, "I understand, once they are restrained, I'll be in danger ….. right?"

Xuan Ai nodded, "Yes, the biggest problem with beast and insect control is this, but you seem to be different, you also have a talisman control skill ….. hehe, don't worry about this, a powerful spirit beast is very helpful to a profession."

Falconer found a half collapsed house, cleaned it a little, laid a thick animal skin mat, lit a pot of charcoal, and let Guo Shier and Xuan Ai sit down.

Guo Shier let the Giant Perching Dragon out, let it hunt by itself, the Dark Wing Magic Scorpion and the Shadow Blade Mantis wandered outside the village, if they encountered a mutated rune beast, they would hunt by themselves.

Nothing happened that night.

The next morning, Guo Shier got up, rinsed his mouth, washed his face, and ate breakfast, then the three discussed the next step.

Xuan Ai said, "Let's go back to the city, hand in the mission first, then accept a new mission."

Guo Shier shook his head, "You want to go back after only two days, are you kidding me?"

Xuan Ai couldn't help but laugh, "Who told your Giant Perching Dragon to be so powerful, it only hunted once and completed the mission."

Guo Shier said, "Let's go to the area of high level mutated rune beasts, even if we only hunt one level seven mutated rune beast, it's better than killing a bunch of low level mutated rune beasts."

Xuan Ai said, "Level seven ….. Then we have to go deep into the wasteland, it's very dangerous, what if we encounter a level nine or ten mutated rune beast? We can fight a level eight mutated rune beast, but level nine and ten ….. we can't beat them at all. "

Guo Shier said, "Not necessarily, if we encounter a level nine or ten mutated rune beast, even if we can't beat it, it shouldn't be a problem to escape."

Falconer said disapprovingly, "How can there be so many level nine and ten mutated rune beasts? You guys are too careful. "

Xuan Ai said helplessly, "Uncle, you don't know the situation here, it's very special, if it weren't for so many mutated rune beasts ….. think about it, a big sect like Haimen couldn't even clear a secret territory ….. Until now, we still don't know where so many mutated rune beasts came from, let alone level nine and ten, I heard from the elders that level 11 Shier mutated rune beasts appeared in groups, it's very scary."

Guo Shier said, "We wander around the edge of the area of high level mutated rune beasts, we can always find level seven or eight mutated rune beasts, it's not challenging to hunt level five or six mutated rune beasts, it's not very rewarding."

Xuan Ai didn't seem confident, he was just a rune maniac, it was a bit difficult for him to hunt level five or six mutated rune beasts, but he could still hold on, if he wanted to hunt level seven or eight mutated rune beasts, it would be a bit overconfident, Haimen didn't encourage disciples to hunt above their level. He smiled bitterly, "I'll go ….. it won't be very useful."

Guo Shier laughed, "You don't need to do anything, just do some supporting work, it'll be fine."

Xuan Ai thought for a moment, then nodded, "That's fine, I need points." He was about to level up, he needed the inheritance points, if he could get another chance, he wouldn't be able to resist this kind of temptation.

Guo Shier asked, "How many points can you get for killing a level seven mutated rune beast?"

Xuan Ai said, "The calculation method is very complicated, I don't know either, but killing a level seven mutated rune beast should give me a lot of points."

Guo Shier called back the Giant Perching Dragon, took Xuan Ai, Falconer, Darkwing Magic Scorpion, and Shadow Mantis, and ran towards the area of high level mutated rune beasts.

Along the way, the Giant Perching Dragon rampaged, and large groups of low level mutated rune beasts were dispersed. Xuan Ai kept looking at the rune map, after a long time, he said, "We can't go any further, if we go down this road, we will enter the mountain area, there are a lot of high level mutated rune beasts there, we need to be careful."

Guo Shier noticed that the low level mutated rune beasts in the surroundings had decreased a lot, occasionally he saw a few level six mutated rune beasts wandering around, but they immediately ran away when they saw the Giant Perching Dragon.

Not far away, there were undulating mountain ranges, there were many small hills on the ground, the forest was lush, obstructing the vision to a certain extent.

Xuan Ai said, "Shier, your Giant Perching Dragon ….."

Guo Shier understood what he meant, he cast an incantation, and the Giant Perching Dragon quickly shrunk back into a mini Giant Perching Dragon.

Xuan Ai said, "Now we can look for level seven mutated rune beasts, let's see how our luck is!" His voice revealed a trace of nervousness.
