This is a mountain monster?
Yan Li was surprised. When he was in Jixia Academy, he had to go to the hunting grounds to pay off his debts. He had fought with mountain monsters too many times. He was very familiar with them.
This three-zhang-tall stone monster had a pair of strange green bean eyes. Although they were small, they were filled with hatred. It seemed to have its own emotions and will.
"Is this the leader of the mountain monsters?" He knew that other than the general-level and king-level Star Meteor Beasts, there was also a leader of a certain tribe.
Usually, these Star Meteor Beasts would condense more precious treasures.
"Leader?" Qiu Shaofeng did not let go of any chance to ridicule Yan Li. "You really are a country bumpkin. How can the human world's Star Meteor Beasts compare to the celestial world's? Think carefully with that brain of yours."
Yan Li retorted, "I know you have no brain. Otherwise, you wouldn't spare no effort to offend someone you don't know."
"What a joke!" Qiu Shaofeng frowned and rolled his eyes. His expression suddenly turned cold, "Here, don't say I didn't give you a chance to show off. I'll leave this mountain monster to you. Prove your worth."
Yan Li said leisurely, "Division of labor must be clear. I've already been in charge of hunting."
"Can you stop talking? Hurry up and help!"
Ma Jun was at the front, protecting the fleeing young master Lian and his two concubines.
The other two cultivators blocked the mountain monster's extended arms from the left and right. It was also very difficult.
"Now is not the time to talk about who did more!" Chen Tai shouted at the critical moment, "When in danger, we must work together. This is the iron rule of the hunting group. Everyone must follow it. Otherwise, don't blame me for kicking you out of the hunting group!"
"Ah!"
Just as they were talking, the two cultivators, Zhou Tong and Sun Lu, suddenly let out a scream. They were actually lifted up by the mountain monster and then smashed into the ground. The two of them were smashed into a mess and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
"All of you, go. I'll cover you." Chen Tai ordered.
Qiu Shaofeng's group didn't dare to disobey his headhunter's will, so they rushed forward together.
The five of them each chose a position and suppressed one of the mountain monster's hands, not allowing it to move. Qin Sufang rescued the injured person from the hand.
On the other side, Yan Li took out his cyan steel sword as usual. Based on his understanding of the mountain monster, there was a weak point on its wrist, which could be easily broken by a sharp weapon.
He found a weak point and decisively cut off the mountain monster's wrist, saving one of them.
"Be careful, it's about to transform!"
Chen Tai was in charge of dispatching and issuing warnings at the right time.
Yan Li still didn't understand what was going on. The people who were saved, including the Five Tycoons of Changzhou, also scattered as if they were fleeing.
The mountain monster quickly shrank into a stone ball that was taller than two Yan Li's. After spinning a few times on the spot, it charged forward like a tank.
This was also a supernatural power that the human world's mountain monsters didn't have.
Although Yan Li was shocked, he did not panic. Instead of retreating, he moved forward. He found an opening where the stone ball was rolling and slid through it with a slide shovel. The stone ball passed him and rolled further into the forest. Everything in its path was crushed to pieces.
"Pfft!" Seeing that the stone ball didn't crush Yan Li to death, Qiu Shaofeng smacked his lips in disdain. "Lucky bastard!"
"Be careful, it's coming again. I'll create an opportunity. You guys give it a fatal blow!" Yu Wenfei roared. He took two steps forward and stopped in front of the stone ball. He took out a sword and unfolded his Law Domain. Countless rays of sword light flew out amidst the flying splinters and struck the stone ball.
The attack was effective. The stone ball was knocked into the air and returned to its original shape.
"Now!" Yu Wenfei shouted.
"I'll do it!" Qin Siming's eyes flashed. He bent his knees and pounced at the mountain monster in the air. A sword appeared in his hand and he stabbed it deeply into the eye socket of the mountain monster.
The green bean-like eyes trembled rapidly. Then, its body disintegrated into gravel and fell to the ground. Qin Siming returned his sword to its sheath as the gravel fell to the ground. He looked very confident.
Before the remains of the mountain monster landed on the ground, it emitted a mysterious light in the air and condensed into treasures that fell to the ground.
Yan Li keenly noticed that there was a Soul Stone among them.
"Soul Stone!" Everyone cried out in surprise. They were obviously very surprised.
It was just an ordinary mountain monster in the periphery, but three cultivators at the Cultivation Realm couldn't even fight back. No wonder it was looked down upon.
In the end, the mountain monster condensed a Soul Stone, seven Shadowless Starthread, and dozens of Heaven Black Stones. It was a very rich harvest.
Yu Wenfei took a Qiankun bag, which was specially used to store the spoils of war. The Qiankun bag was naturally kept by him.
As usual, it would only be distributed on the return trip.
Everyone was in a good mood. Only Young Master Lian was very dissatisfied and scolded, "You idiots are too slow. If you scare me again, I'll tell you, I'll cut your reward by half!"
The hunting group set off again. They crossed the hill and found a dry woodland to rest for the night.
That night, Sun Lu and one of the Changzhou Five Grand Guardians were in charge of keeping watch.
The night passed uneventfully.
The next day, the hunting group ate simple rations and prepared to set off again.
When it was time to set off, Young Master Lian and his two concubines came out of the tent, their faces full of satisfaction. However, their footsteps were light and their whole body was light as if they had overindulged in sex.
Ma Jun looked at them enviously. "If I was born in a merchant family, I wouldn't have to run around like I am now."
Yan Li walked at the back of the hunting group. He couldn't help but shake his head and smile. "Brother Ma, for you, what is the purpose of cultivation?"
"Cultivation?" Ma Jun was startled. He immediately frowned and pondered. He couldn't help but smile bitterly. "I've long forgotten the original purpose of cultivation. But when I was young, my family was very poor. Maybe it was to get rid of poverty. "
"This goal has been achieved long ago." Yan Li smiled. "Some people's lives are very simple. They buy land and houses, marry wives and concubines, carry on the family line, and live a happy and unfettered life. But in White Water City, don't every swordsman have a great dream? "
"It seems so …" Ma Jun was a little embarrassed to admit.
"Because people can't be satisfied with their current situation, they will keep moving forward." Yan Li patted Ma Jun's shoulder. "However, when you cast your envious eyes on others, a long time later, you may become the person you envy now. But at that time, there will be irreparable regret in your heart."
"After all, the original intention is as beautiful as first love."
