Protagonist:

Xu Changqing

"Dao Friend, want to join the group?"

"The destination is the Cave Abode of Jinling Golden Core Huang Yuanhua~"

"Special price now, just one Middle-grade Spirit Stone, we leave once we have five people!"

Because Huang Yuanhua's Cave Abode is open to the public, the Loose Cultivator market in Dongqing City has welcomed a peak in visitor traffic, with tourists wanting to visit everywhere.

Some people even specially ran over from Xuanxin City just to take a look at Huang Yuanhua's Cave Abode.

At this time, Xu Changqing, who had left the Inn, had already changed into a set of attire, buying a full low-end version of a Crow Venerable outfit, named the Xuanhuo Robe.

Although it has been a thousand years, the Crow Venerable still has many fanatical followers, and the vast majority of them possess Fire Spirit Roots.

Where there is demand, there is naturally a market.

The Xuanhuo Robe belongs to the wide-sleeved robe style, its length reaching the ankles.

It adopts a diagonal-collar right-overlap design, the collar standing high like the curve of a crow's beak, the cuffs flared, and the outer edge of the robe corners sewn with a three-inch-wide dark gold trim.

The main color is dark red.

The accent color is charred black.

At the folded part of the cuffs there is a touch of moon-white color as decoration.

Five Fire Crows, four of them already circling in the sky.

Only Ya Da, the one with the highest potential, now stands on Xu Changqing's left shoulder.

Two round, large dark brown eyeballs, rolling around observing the surroundings.

As for Xu Changqing, from beginning to end he kept his eyes closed, observing the surroundings through Shared Vision, giving off quite an unfathomable feeling.

He chose to join the group, entering a Hunting Demon Squad named "Red Tiger".

There were five people in total.

Three men, two women.

Two Team Members are at Qi Refining Late Stage, one Team Member is at Qi Condensation Perfection.

The Team Captain has reached Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, the Deputy Captain just broke through to Foundation Establishment Early Stage.

The Team Captain is named "Red Tiger", awakened Fire Spirit Root, looks burly and sturdy, skin dark, whether on his face or body, there are very obvious scars.

The Deputy Captain is called Zhang Laizi, although the name is strange, she is a female cultivator, the whole person unkempt, appearing sloppy, wearing a set of gray short clothes.

In her hand she holds a semi-transparent Dagger, her gaze exceptionally sharp.

One of the male Team Members on the left, the whole person thin and hunched, skin dry and shriveled.

Name is Wang Linxun, in his hand he holds a vine whip covered in sharp poisonous thorns.

The one in the middle is a female Team Member, name is Zhou Cui.

Although her appearance is ordinary, she wears leather tight-fitting clothes.

She is curious about everyone, her gaze unable to stop sizing them up.

The third member on the far right is a male cultivator, name is Li Tie.

His build looks even more fierce than the Team Captain Red Tiger beside him, at least two meters tall, hands especially thick and strong, and covered in old calluses.

In his hands he grips two quite heavy Xuan Iron Hammers, on which Spiritual Runes faintly appear and disappear.

Because they hunt demons year-round, they all emit a dangerous aura.

One look and they are very reliable, not the kind of deceptive temporary team.

Now adding Xu Changqing, it just makes ten people exactly.

"Depart!"

Red Tiger didn't waste words, gave a call and led the people walking out of the city.

Huang Yuanhua's Cave Abode is in the deepest part of the Black Forest, a round trip takes at least half a day to a day or so.

If it happens to reach evening, they still have to spend the night inside.

"Red Tiger leading a group again?"

"During this period, they haven't stopped at all!"

"No choice, Li Tie has been stuck at Qi Condensation Perfection for many years, now urgently needs a Foundation Establishment Pill!"

After walking out of the city, they encountered more Hunting Demon Teams.

Some are entering the Black Forest to hunt and kill monsters.

There are also people like Red Tiger and them who choose to lead groups.

When they arrived outside the city, Red Tiger swept a glance at the five Temporary Team Members who joined this time, and said in a deep voice: "Although Huang Yuanhua's Cave Abode is safe, the Black Forest is not safe, on this journey you must listen to us, otherwise leave now."

Regarding this, whether Xu Changqing or the other four, none moved.

They are very interested in Huang Yuanhua's Cave Abode, naturally they would not leave easily.

Red Tiger saw this and was very satisfied, then said: "Because of the distance, plus monsters frequently appear, we might have to spend the night in the Black Forest, any problem?"

"No problem!"

Someone responded.

Red Tiger and the other four Team Members exchanged glances, then seriously said to Xu Changqing and the others: "All monsters encountered on this journey, if you make a move, afterwards you can share in a portion of the gains."

Finished speaking, he took out a Spirit Beast Ring.

From inside he summoned three Spirit Beasts.

Xu Zhangqing recognized them all at a glance.

One of them was an Iron-backed Pangolin.

Earth attribute, extremely high defense, skilled at burrowing underground.

It has a gentle temperament and is especially suited to be a Spirit Pet.

The other two were very tall Green-backed Wolves.

They should have been tamed not long ago, still retaining some wildness.

However, what Xu Zhangqing cared about most was actually Deputy Captain Zhang Laizi; she unexpectedly summoned a pair of Gray Flying Wheels, which bore three Spirit Patterns.

Respectively:

Wind Rending Pattern

Solid Travel Pattern

Breaking Rock Pattern

Chi Hu leaped up, landing on the Iron-backed Pangolin's back, then pointed at the other two Green-backed Wolves and said: "If you have no Travel Tools, you can ride them."

To this, everyone except Xu Zhangqing summoned their Travel Tools one after another.

Some were Flying Paper Cranes.

Some were Earth Spirit Beasts.

Xu Zhangqing's figure flashed, landing on the back of a Green-backed Wolf.

He sat cross-legged.

Strangely enough, this Green-backed Wolf, which originally still retained some wildness,

after he approached, its gaze became clear.

Soon, the ten-person Hunting Demon Team rushed toward the depths of the Black Forest.

Opposite Xu Zhangqing sat the second female member of the Chi Hu Squad, cross-legged.

Zhou Cui, wearing a leather bodysuit.

At this moment, she looked at Xu Zhangqing, who had kept his eyes closed from beginning to end, with eyes full of curiosity.

When she saw him take out Top-grade Spirit Rice to feed the Fire Crow on his shoulder, her eyes flickered even more.

Therefore, Zhou Cui couldn't help but open her mouth and ask: "Dao Friend, judging by your attire, you must be an admirer of Crow Venerable, right?"

Xu Zhangqing raised his eyebrows and countered: "Isn't that obvious?"

"Uh." Zhou Cui was instantly speechless.

As time passed, everyone gradually penetrated deeper into the Black Forest.

That sense of safety vanished without a trace in an instant.

Everyone, whether Chi Hu or the few others who joined temporarily, all became nervous.

After all, there are countless demon nests in the Black Forest.

Until now, Dongqing City's Hunting Demon Team has only explored one-third.

As for what exactly lies deeper, many people are unclear.

And coincidentally, Huang Yuanhua's Cave Abode is in a very deep area.

"Something is coming." Xu Zhangqing, through the Fire Crow's Shared Vision in the sky, discovered something rapidly approaching on the Right.

However, he did not speak of this discovery.

But wanted to test them, to see if Chi Hu and the others were qualified.

If not, Xu Zhangqing would turn around and leave, then go back to choose a stronger Hunting Demon Team.

In short, although this trip was centered on the Fire Spirit Root, his style of action had not changed; he was still cautious and careful, never letting his guard down.

Suddenly, rustling sounds rang out.

Immediately after, a pungent fishy smell surged over from the Left Side!
