Niu Youdao was not blind. He had noticed the change in the situation and had been paying attention to it. He had just arrived at the Desolate Swamp Wasteland, so he did not know if this was normal or abnormal. He replied calmly, "There is nothing wrong with it. Just follow the plan and do not be disturbed unless absolutely necessary. Without my permission, you are not allowed to act rashly."
Qin and Ke answered in unison, "Yes!"
The three of them continued forward. Along the way, they rested on a grassy slope in the swamp to recover their mana. Just then, the two people in charge of keeping watch noticed something strange.
He whispered to Niu Youdao, who was sitting cross-legged and thinking about something, "Elder, there is a black one coming from the left."
Niu Youdao tilted his head and looked to the left. He saw a black fox with shiny black fur appear amidst a group of white foxes playing in the muddy ground. It suddenly leaped up and landed on a grassy slope. It yawned at the sky and its limbs went limp. It sprawled lazily on the grass nest, as though it was taking a leisurely nap.
"How arrogant. How dare it sleep in front of us. How arrogant." Ke Dingjie gritted his teeth and muttered, taking it as a provocation.
Niu Youdao squinted his eyes and examined it for a while before turning back and closing them. He sat cross-legged and meditated like an old monk facing temptation.
Qin and Ke saw him like this and knew that they were still not allowed to kill it. Thus, they dispelled their faint thoughts of acting up...
When Niu Youdao recovered his mana and opened his eyes again, he found that the black fox on the grass nest was gone. The demon foxes playing around were also gone.
The group set off again. The situation of demon foxes had disappeared along the way, and they were rarely seen. It was as if the situation had returned to the first day.
In the evening, they arrived at the next rendezvous point. Niu Youdao's group was the first to arrive, followed by the other groups.
When everyone gathered together to count their harvest, they found that one group was still missing. It was the West Sea group led by Fu Hua and the kunlin tree.
Today's harvest was obviously more than yesterday. They had killed a few more foxes, and it was obvious that they had gained some hunting experience. After all, they had the experience from the first day.
After killing a few more, Qin Feng and Ke Ke felt that something was wrong. This was different from what they had seen on the way here. The result of hunting should not be like this.
Niu Youdao also sensed that something was amiss. He tried to ask, "We're already deep into the Desolate Swamp Wasteland. There should be more Demon Foxes, right?"
Lang Jingkong replied, "What kind of logic is that? How can there be more of them? We have already alerted them. It will only be harder for us to discover those Demon Foxes."
Everyone nodded, expressing their agreement with this statement.
Niu Youdao could not help but exchange a look with Qin and Ke. Unfortunately, the three of them had not found anything and could not tell them what they had seen along the way. Otherwise, they would not be able to explain why they had not found anything.
Chao Jing asked, "Little Brother, did you still not get anything today?"
Niu Youdao had some thoughts in his mind. He shook his head as he pondered, "That's strange. You guys even found something. We didn't even see the shadow of the Demonic Fox along the way."
Everyone started to analyze the situation, but Qin Feng and Ke Ke knew that Elder Niu was lying.
After a while, Chao Jing seemed to be annoyed and said, "We can only get so little every day. We can't go on like this. We have to think of another way." He glanced at Niu Youdao.
Niu Youdao knew that these words were meant for him. The things that this old man had done behind the back of the sect had been exposed, and he was eager to get some results to join the Misty Pavilion. Chao Jing comforted him, "Take it slow. It's just the beginning and you want to achieve something in one go. How can there be such a good thing? It's still a long time. Three months. Let's see how things go first. "
Chao Jing thought about it and agreed. It was just the beginning and he was already feeling impatient.
The sky was dark and night had fallen. A few bonfires had already been lit, but Fu Hua's group had not returned yet. Everyone started to worry.
Hong Gaitian asked, "Could they have met with some accident?"
It was useless to worry. It was late at night, and they were unfamiliar with the place. It would be hard to find them, so they could only continue to wait.
As they waited, as the night deepened, some movements outside alerted the group. They soon realized that it was just a false alarm. The people of the West Sea had returned. All four of them had returned.
Hong Gaitian went up to them and asked, "Why are you back so late?"
Fu Hua walked straight to Niu Youdao who was sitting cross-legged and said, "We found traces of the Misty Pavilion. We secretly followed them to check out where they were staying. That's why we came back late."
Niu Youdao heard this and stood up. "Where are they?"
Fu Hua took out her handbook and flipped to the map. She pointed to a place that had been marked. "Here."
The elders gathered around and looked at the map together, but they couldn't find anything.
Niu Youdao nodded. "Alright, got it. Thank you for your hard work."
Fu Hua asked, "Now that we've found them, what should we do next?"
Niu Youdao said, "I have my own plans."
Since he said so and refused to say anything, everyone knew that they couldn't get anything out of him. They couldn't force him to say anything, so they could only let it go.
Chao Jing was concerned about the harvest. "How was your harvest today?"
Fu Hua shook her head. "Nothing much, only two Demon Fox Eyes." He tilted his chin towards Niu Youdao, "Isn't he concerned about the Misty Pavilion's movements? After discovering the Misty Pavilion's tracks, we didn't dare to make too big of a commotion, and have been quietly following them. How about you guys? How much did you get? "
"Sigh!" Chao Jing sighed. "Not much …"
Hearing that Niu Youdao's side still hadn't found anything, Kun Linshu couldn't help but look at Niu Youdao who was holding the map and pondering.
Everyone returned to their respective campfires to spend the night in peace. Kun Linshu got up from the West Sea and walked over. Fu Hua, who was sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed, opened her eyes and glanced at him.
Under the glow of the campfire, Niu Youdao, who had been holding the map and pondering the terrain, looked up and saw Kun Linshu squatting beside him. He asked, "What's the matter?"
Kun Linshu clenched his fists in his sleeves and placed something in the grass in front of Niu Youdao.
Niu Youdao looked down and saw three Demon Fox Eyes. He asked with a smile, "What do you mean?"
Kun Linshu said, "For you."
Niu You said, "Yo, didn't you say that you came here to repay the Heavenly Fire Cult? Didn't you say that you came here to train for the Heavenly Fire Cult? Why are you giving it to me out of kindness? Are you pitying me because I didn't get anything?"
It was precisely because of this that Niu Youdao parted ways with him.
First of all, Niu Youdao's plan had never been to kill the Demon Fox. Kun Linshu, on the other hand, wanted to do his best for the Heavenly Fire Order, which conflicted with Niu Youdao's plan.
Secondly, Kun Linshu still had deep feelings for the Heavenly Fire Order. Perhaps it was because his master, Pang Zhuo, was still in the hands of the Heavenly Fire Order. He didn't want anything to happen to the Heavenly Fire Order because of this experience. If he found any clues from Niu Youdao, he would have to remind the Heavenly Fire Order.
Unlike Qin Guan and Ke Dingjie, who had been warned by Niu Youdao not to tell anyone else, the two of them naturally helped to keep the secret. They were all disciples of the Purple Golden Cave.
As a result, the two of them didn't get along well. Niu Youdao didn't want to make things difficult for him. Niu Youdao had his own way of dealing with people and matters. He had a clear grasp of priorities. Some people could be dealt with quickly and decisively, while others could only be dealt with step by step. He believed that success would come naturally when the conditions were right.
At least in Kun Linshu's current state of mind, he couldn't let Kun Linshu know what Niu Youdao was planning to do for the time being. He would rather work on Kun and Ke Dingjie.
Therefore, it was a little inappropriate to bring Kun Linshu along for this Demon Fox hunt. At the very least, there were three people in each group. It wouldn't be right if his group of four came back empty-handed.
Because of this, Niu Youdao sent Kun Linshu away from his side to Fu Hua. He said that Fu Hua was a woman and that Kun Linshu would protect her.
What do you mean I'm a woman? Fu Hua naturally didn't buy it. So what if she was a woman?
Niu Youdao fooled Fu Hua and pretended to reveal the truth. His reason was half true and half false. He said that Kun Linshu wanted to help the Sky Fire Order obtain the results, and it wasn't appropriate for him to help hide it. He asked Fu Hua to help keep Kun Linshu and at the same time, Fu Hua helped Kun Linshu conceal the truth.
Fu Hua couldn't refuse such a small favor. It was just a small matter. After that, she did help Kun Linshu conceal the truth. Kun Linshu's hunting results were not exposed.
However, after seeing Kun Linshu's skills, Fu Hua felt a little sick of him. She realized that Kun Linshu was really powerful. His attacking methods were extraordinary. The entire West Sea team was actually not as good as Kun Linshu. How could such a person's results be given to the Sky Fire Order?
A woman's thoughts were more or less uncomfortable.
Of course, Kun Linshu was also concerned about Niu Youdao's matter. He didn't hesitate to expend a large amount of his transcendence energy to travel back and forth. He was the one who discovered the traces of the Misty Pavilion's people, and then Fu Hua led the others to follow them.
He did feel a little sympathy for Niu Youdao, but he felt even more guilty. He said in a low voice, "From today onwards, half of my gains will be given to the Sky Fire Order, and the other half to you."
"In other words, you killed six of them by yourself. Not bad." Niu Youdao smiled and teased him. To be exact, he felt slightly gratified. He realized that he didn't misjudge him. At least this guy still had some conscience. He smiled and said, "Take it back."
"…" Kun Linshu was stunned.
Niu Youdao shook his head slightly. "I appreciate your kindness, but I don't need it." He then explained, "I don't care about individual results. In the end, the final results of the training team still have to be put together and compared with the results of the Misty Pavilion. Give all your gains to the Sky Fire Order. If you put in more effort, let the Sky Fire Order see your sincerity. Maybe your master will have a better life with the Sky Fire Order. I'm serious. I'm not being pretentious. Take it back and keep it well. I've told Fu Hua to keep it a secret for you. "
To be able to be called "Daoye" from "Master Thief" by the people of the pugilistic world, he naturally had his outstanding points. He was good at convincing people with virtue at the right time!
Kun Linshu looked at him in a daze. He was inexplicably touched.
He was a stubborn person, but he wasn't a wishy-washy person. He didn't say much. He slowly picked up the three Vertical Eyes in the grass, stood up and left.
Perhaps from the moment he was defeated and fell into the hands of Niu Youdao, he could be considered to have started the true training of his life.
