The Devil's Tribulation

Chapter 272 Gu Shaojun Hunting

At the Yu Lei Sect hunting ground, Gu Shaojun got a general understanding of the situation with the help of the registrar. Finally, he asked, "Brother, where can I find the megalodon I need to hunt?" The registrar said, "It's just one level of monsters. There will be some on the periphery. You are only at the first level of foundation building. Remember not to go too deep." After thanking him, Gu Shaojun left the registration office directly.

Gu Shaojun followed the direction given by the registrar and soon arrived at the outskirts of the Red Mountains. After feeling the air here, Gu Shaojun sighed: "The spiritual energy is so rich, no wonder the monsters like to hide in the mountains." After finding the right direction, Gu Shaojun ran directly. The speed was not much slower than his own flying sword speed. It seemed that he had eaten a lot of meat from Pan Chengfeng. Gu Shaojun thought while running: "Senior brother said that you must not fly here unless it is absolutely necessary, otherwise it is easy to be discovered by powerful monsters. Even if you fly to escape, you can only fly in the direction of the exit. As long as you reach the exit, the monsters will not dare to chase you."

Thinking about the matters that the registrar had told him, Gu Shaojun opened his spiritual sense to the full, and the area within a hundred meters was covered by his spiritual sense. Shuang'er followed her brother five hundred meters away and activated the secret method of concealment. Not only was it to prevent her brother from finding out, but more importantly, it was to prevent the monsters from finding out. This secret method was given to her by Pan Chengfeng, who said it was a very powerful secret method of concealment.

Three people followed Shuang'er five kilometers behind her, three Yuanying cultivators of the Guo family. After the three followed Shuang'er into the hunting ground, the third brother couldn't help but said, "Brother, let's do it! One foundation building and one golden elixir, we can easily take care of them." The eldest brother Guo said angrily, "Are you stupid? This place is so close to the exit, not to mention that it is easy to be discovered, how can we get the people out? Do you think it is so easy to kill people?" The second brother Guo said, "Brother is right, let's wait until we get deeper before we do it. At that time, place a few second-level body refining monster corpses around the boy's body, and then erase our traces. It will be absolutely unnoticed!"

The three were discussing when Boss Guo suddenly exclaimed, "The girl's aura is gone!" The second and third brothers hurriedly sent out their spiritual senses, but after searching for a long time, they still couldn't find any trace of Shuang'er. The third brother said anxiously, "Why did she suddenly disappear? She is only at the Golden Core level, so she shouldn't be able to escape our spiritual sense! Could it be that her concealment method is very advanced and can be hidden from a cultivator of a higher level?" Boss Guo denied, "It's impossible. The sect's advanced concealment secrets are so expensive! How can she afford it?"

Guo Lao Er rolled his eyes and said, "Don't worry, isn't that girl here to protect her brother? As long as you follow her brother, you don't have to worry about her not showing up!" The eldest and the third nodded, and Guo Lao said, "That's the only way. We must watch carefully this time. If we lose her again, the three of us won't go back to the sect and start wandering!" If Shuang'er is not caught, Yu Qian is not a kind person. The three of them will definitely die. After all, the three of them have no status in the Guo family. They are only at the seventh level of the Nascent Soul at the age of four or five hundred, and Guo Lao San is only at the sixth level of the Nascent Soul. If they can complete the task given by Yu Qian this time, the three of them will get a lot of money, and there will be a little hope of advancing to the God of Transformation.

Gu Shaojun was lucky. On the third day, he found a lone Megalodon. The Megalodon looked a bit like a hound, except that it was purple-red, hairless, with a large head and a small body. Its mouth was half the size of its body when opened, and its four fangs were long and thick. Gu Shaojun felt the Megalodon's breath and thought to himself, "Great. I'm in the early stage of the Body Refining Stage. It's a good time to practice."

Shuang'er saw her brother find prey and prepare to fight, but he didn't observe the surrounding situation. She was anxious and said to herself: "This silly brother, didn't he tell me to observe the surrounding environment? It would be dangerous if we attract nearby monsters." Her brother didn't check, so Shuang'er had to do it for him. She quickly walked around the surrounding area and finally breathed a sigh of relief, saying: "Fortunately there are no other monsters, otherwise it would be troublesome." Although Shuang'er didn't go hunting with Pan Chengfeng, she heard a lot and had some experience. Unfortunately, Pan Chengfeng was talking about body cultivators, not monks. When monks fight, spells fly and magic power fluctuates. As long as they are not too far away, monsters can feel it.

The most important thing for monks to do when hunting monsters in the hunting ground is to be fast. So many people team up to kill monsters and move to another place immediately after killing them. Gu Shaojun didn't know anyone, and he didn't dare to team up with strangers, so he just killed them by himself.

Gu Shaojun slowly approached the megalodon. When he was about 200 meters away, Gu Shaojun suddenly launched an attack. A palm thunder accurately hit the megalodon. The megalodon felt pain and roared loudly at Gu Shaojun. The oncoming momentum made Gu Shaojun's hands and feet weak. Although this megalodon was only at the first level of body refinement, it was not small, as big as a buffalo. The roaring momentum frightened Gu Shaojun, but fortunately he had fought with others several times before, so he recovered immediately. He gritted his teeth and formed a seal to cast the thunderstorm spell. The thunder ball was hit by the megalodon's head. The demon beast at the first level of body refinement had basically no intelligence and was not much different from a wild beast. It only knew to rush forward. The thunder ball came and didn't know how to hide. With a bang, it was directly blown to pieces by the thunder ball and flew more than ten meters before landing.

Gu Shaojun didn't bother to check the situation of the Megalodon, and quickly shot out another lightning snake, which directly trapped the Megalodon like a dumpling. The lightning snake sizzled on the Megalodon, and after a dozen breaths, the Megalodon stopped struggling, and was electrocuted to a crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. Gu Shaojun took a long breath and said, "It's not as difficult as I imagined. Master and sister still look worried. Hehe, this young master can also kill monsters! Soon this young master can go and beat Pan Chengfeng's ass!"

Gu Shaojun ran to the giant tooth beast's corpse, took out a knife, and cut off the giant tooth beast's head in a flash, and put it into the storage ring. Then he thought about it, cut off another hind leg, and nodded with satisfaction, "Let's have barbecue tonight." Shuang'er muttered anxiously, "What are you still hesitating about? Hurry up, the monster is coming!"

Just when Shuang'er was worried about Gu Shaojun, the ground suddenly shook. Gu Shaojun was startled, looked up and exclaimed, "Oh no!" He quickly used the hiding technique and ran away. Two breaths later, four first-level body-refining monsters appeared beside the giant tooth beast's corpse. They looked around and found no living creatures, so they began to eat it. Shuang'er thought to himself, "Fortunately, they are first-level body-refining monsters with little intelligence, otherwise it would be troublesome."

In this way, Shuang'er followed her brother and wandered around the hunting grounds. During this time, Gu Shaojun made a mistake in judgment and provoked a giant tooth beast in the middle stage of the first level of body refining. After fighting for more than ten rounds, he finally killed the monster. Before he could chop off its head, the monster beasts around him came over. Gu Shaojun had to flee the scene with his injuries. Not only did he work in vain, but he was also injured in the arm by the giant tooth beast. After recovering from the injury for more than ten days, he returned to the hunting grounds and continued hunting.

Two months had passed in a blink of an eye, and Gu Shaojun had only killed three Megalodons, and he hadn't had time to chop off the head of another one. However, after these battles, Gu Shaojun slowly figured out the tricks here. First of all, he had to be fast, and then he could only kill Megalodons in the early stage of the first level of physical training. Although he could defeat Megalodons in the middle stage of the first level of physical training, it would take too much time and he might get hurt. Therefore, he could only kill Megalodons in the early stage of the first level of physical training.

Next, Gu Shaojun was more careful when identifying monsters. Fighting is indeed the best way to grow. Gu Shaojun stayed in the hunting ground for half a year, during which he killed seven megalodons and chopped off six heads. There was also a megalodon in the middle stage of body refining. Gu Shaojun thought he should be able to deal with it quickly, but he still fought for more than ten rounds. However, he was not injured this time and escaped safely. Now there are only two heads left. If he follows the plan, it will not be difficult for Gu Shaojun to complete this task. Unfortunately, things always go against one's wishes. During the period when Shuang'er accompanied his brother on the task, Pan Chengfeng finally felt the bottleneck.

Room 68, the third floor of the Thunder Pond of the Imperial Thunder Sect. Pan Chengfeng opened his eyes, and the top-grade crystal beads in his hand turned into ashes. Pan Chengfeng smiled and said, "I finally felt the bottleneck. I almost thought that time was running out. There are still three months left, which should be enough for me to break through!"

On the Purple Thunder Mountain, Shangguan Yun said, "I finally feel the bottleneck. Are we going to break through? Chengfeng's identity cannot be exposed. It depends on the methods of the ancestor." Qiu Xiaotian said, "If the ancestor takes action, it should be hidden from most people. I'm just afraid that the old guys in the Red Mountains will come out to cause trouble." Shangguan Yun glanced at Qiu Xiaotian indifferently and said, "Do you think they are all like you? Those old guys don't dare to come out. The evil emperor has a bad temper."

Room 68, Level of Leichi. Pan Chengfeng took out the pills he was going to use for his breakthrough. Ten bottles of high-level Zhenyuan Pills, ten bottles of Ningyuan Pills, and one bottle of Baoyuan Pill. After putting the three bottles of pills in place, Pan Chengfeng closed his eyes and began to rest and adjust his state.

At Zilei Mountain, Xie Feng asked in confusion, "What is he going to do with the Exploding Yuan Pill? Isn't this a pill for desperate situations?" Shangguan Yun smiled and said, "This sect knows what this kid wants to do. It's really an amazing idea." Qiu Xiaotian said, "Could he be using the Exploding Yuan Pill to condense the Golden Pill?" Xie Feng was surprised and said, "This kid is too reckless. He might break the Golden Pill!"

Shangguan Yun waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, this kid knows what he is doing. If things don't work out, he still has a few of us." Qiu Xiaotian stroked his moustache and said, "He is afraid that he will not have enough true essence when refining the golden elixir, so he prepared the Explosive Yuan Pill. It may really work at the critical moment." Shangguan Yun said, "That should be the case, but the Explosive Yuan Pill only lasts for half an hour. If the golden elixir is not condensed in half an hour, the sequelae will appear, and this breakthrough will be a failure."
