Chapter 27 Ma Longzhi’s Invitation
"Why did you come to me?" Li Hanxue felt the aura emanating from the young man. The martial arts true qi on the other party was not condensed enough and was a little loose. It was obviously also the first level of the martial arts realm.
"Brother, you showed your skills when you entered the city just now. I saw it clearly. You are very strong and a reliable partner, so I chose you."
"But I don't know your identity yet. I don't deal with people with unknown identities." Li Hanxue said.
The young man smiled and said, "I am Ma Longzhi, a core disciple of the ninth-grade sect Tianfang Sect."
There are many sects in the Nebula Continent. Warriors divide these sects into one to nine grades. The ninth grade is the lowest, and the first grade is a super sect. However, the first-grade sect is not the strongest. Above the first-grade sect, there are five giants, the Refining Sect, the Burial Sword Pavilion, the Supporting Heaven Sect, the Tianwu Sect and the Yuehuang Holy Land.
If the ninth-grade sect is placed near Cangyun City, it is not too weak but not strong. It is a mediocre first-class sect.
"You invited me to join you. What business do you want to do?" Li Hanxue asked again.
"I want to invite you to go to the central hinterland of Luoxuan Mountain Range to hunt the Purple-Gold Horned Tooth Beast. Master sent me to Luoxuan Mountain for the Kongkong Xuan Beast, but the Kongkong Xuan Beast is a rare beast, and I don't expect to catch it. The second reason is for the Purple-Gold Horned Tooth Beast. To be honest, as long as we can get a horn tusk of the Purple-Gold Horned Tooth Beast and present it to the higher-ups, in exchange, our Tianfang Sect will be able to get the support of an elder of an eighth-grade sect, and we are expected to be promoted to an eighth-grade sect within ten years." Ma Longzhi said.
The most valuable thing about the Purple-Gold Horned Tooth Beast is the two horns on its head, which can be used to refine ninth-grade Xuanbing. The refined Xuanbing is of extremely high quality, almost comparable to some lower-grade Mingbing, so the horns of the Purple-Gold Horned Tooth Beast have become a hot commodity in the eyes of weapon refiners.
Li Hanxue's heart was also a little hot. If she could get a horn tusk, she would make a fortune. If she sold it purely as a material, she could sell it for 50,000 gold coins, not to mention refining it into Xuanbing.
Faced with such temptation, Li Hanxue suppressed the impulse in her heart, thought about it, calmed down and said: "The adult purple-gold horned beast is a high-level Xuan beast, which is a terrifying beast comparable to the peak Xuanwu. If I am not mistaken, your strength is also the first level of Ruowu Realm. With the strength of the two of us, wanting to hunt the purple-gold horned beast is like an ant eating an elephant, which is a fantasy."
Ma Zhilong shook his head and smiled: "Brother, you don't know that our target this time is not the purple-gold horned beast, but the cub of the purple-gold horned beast. The two horns on its head are not as valuable as those of an adult, but they are also worth a thousand gold."
"So that's it. The two of us should be able to deal with the cub of the purple-gold horned beast together." The cub of the purple-gold horned beast is weak, not stronger than the third-level Ruowu, and the cub's intelligence is not open, so it is easy to kill with a trick.
"How about it? Do you want to do it?" Ma Longzhi was a little nervous, fearing that Li Hanxue would refuse. The reason why he invited Li Hanxue was, firstly, because of Li Hanxue's strength. Li Hanxue's strength was not weak, and she would not hold him back, and she could help in hunting the purple-gold horn-toothed beast cub. Secondly, it was also because of Li Hanxue's strength. Li Hanxue was at the first level of the Ruowu Realm, and was on par with himself. Ma Longzhi was not worried that Li Hanxue would be tempted by money and kill people for treasures if they disagreed.
Li Hanxue pondered for a while. Ma Longzhi introduced himself to the sect, and his identity should not be false. He also told the purpose of this trip. Most of Li Hanxue's doubts had been dispelled. At least the hunting of the purple-gold horn-toothed beast cub was not false. Li Hanxue had an idea in her mind after thinking about it.
"Okay, I promise you." Li Hanxue said.
"Great." Ma Longzhi was delighted. "We will rest for one night and meet here tomorrow morning."
Li Hanxue stayed at Fengmu Inn in the east of Luoxuan City for one night. The next morning, she met Ma Longzhi, left Luoxuan City, and hurried to the central hinterland of Luoxuan Mountains.
The two of them passed through three mountains and crossed a river. Even with the strength of the first level of the Ruowu Realm, it took them nearly half a day to walk.
In the central hinterland of Luoxuan Mountains, the forests are lush, the ancient trees point straight to the sky, and the old roots on the ground are like dragons, entangled and tangled, very thick. The forest is very quiet, and occasionally there are a few beast calls, which echo in the forest, which makes people shudder.
"Master said that there is a 70% chance that the purple-gold horned beast will appear nearby." Ma Longzhi looked around, looking for the figure of the purple-gold horned beast.
The two carefully searched around for several hours. The sky had gradually darkened, but they still found nothing.
"Let's wait here for a night. It is said that the purple-gold horned beast likes to appear at night. Maybe we will get something tonight."
At night, the central part of Luoxuan Mountain Range was humid, and Ma Longzhi lit a bonfire to dispel the moisture. The starry sky was like water, the bright moon was in the sky, and the twinkling stars were like night pearls thrown into the pool, stirring up waves.
"Roar..."
Just as Ma Longzhi was fiddling with the bonfire, Li Hanxue heard a low beast cry.
"Listen, what is that?" Li Hanxue whispered.
Ma Longzhi listened carefully, and his face showed ecstasy: "This is the cry of the purple-gold horned beast, and judging from the sound, it is three miles away from us to the east. There is no time to lose, let's go now!"
"Okay."
Running eastward, they soon saw a huge mysterious beast on the top of a small hill. The beast was about ten feet tall, with a round body covered with purple-gold scales. Its six short legs left deep footprints on the ground, and the two crystal-clear purple horns on its head shone brightly under the moonlight.
"It seems that we are lucky. The cub of this purple-gold horn-toothed beast has escaped from its parents. We just took this opportunity to kill it." Ma Longzhi's face was filled with excitement.
Compared with Ma Longzhi, Li Hanxue seemed much calmer. After all, it was a purple-gold horn-toothed beast, and even a cub was not so easy to deal with.
Ma Longzhi jumped in front of the purple-gold horn-toothed beast, pulled out the long sword behind him, and cut off one of the legs of the purple-gold horn-toothed beast cub with one sword. Blood burst out from the blood vessels, and the fishy smell was pungent.
The purple-gold horn-toothed beast felt pain, turned its head suddenly, roared, and pushed two crystal horns towards Ma Longzhi.
The horns were extremely sharp, comparable to the fifth-level Xuanbing. Ma Zhilong did not dare to resist, and hurriedly rolled on the ground to avoid the attack of the purple-gold horn-toothed beast.
Another sword cut off one of the purple-gold horn-toothed beast's legs. The purple-gold horn-toothed beast had its legs cut off, and its eyes glowed red, and it was completely angry.
The purple-gold horn-toothed beast was in a rage and extremely fast. Ma Longzhi just avoided it, and the purple-gold horn-toothed beast pushed its horns again and rushed towards his chest, not giving Ma Longzhi a chance to breathe. Ma Longzhi cried out in his heart, thinking that he could easily take it down, but this purple-gold horn-toothed beast was much more difficult than he imagined.
He dodged dozens of times in a row, and he was gradually embarrassed, his breath was slightly disordered, and his figure also had some flaws.
Puff!
Ma Longzhi was careless and was scratched by the horn of the purple-gold horned beast, leaving a cut on his arm, and blood was dripping.
Ma Longzhi frowned and hurriedly used his energy to stop the bleeding.
"This beast is so fierce!" Ma Longzhi pondered for a moment and shouted to Li Hanxue, "Brother Li, come and help me. If you don't take action now, when will you take action?"
"Brother Ma, don't worry, I'm here."
