Chapter 237 The expected windfall
"If you can't stand it alone, let's help you." Tianyou didn't plan to ask Zhao Gongming and the others for help for safety reasons. Unexpectedly, this kid sometimes looked a little cautious, and he was quite responsible at critical moments.
Since Zhao Gongming said this, Tianyou did not object, and there was no time for them to discuss it slowly.
After all, the demon bee is not a natural monster, and is caused by acquired demon power infestation, so the appearance changes are a bit unreasonable, resulting in abnormal body enlargement, but the proportion of wings cannot keep up, so you can only fly against the ground. However, even this awkward movement method is still very fast, and it rushed to the front of the three of them in the blink of an eye.
Zhao Gongming shouted, "Be careful," while killing himself. Cooperating with Pang Dahai and the others blocked one of the big demon bees, while the remaining two were all stopped by Tianyou.
Because of the existence of Yueying, Tianyou is much calmer than Zhao Gongming. So he is not very worried about the current situation, because in his opinion, the three big monster bees are far less dangerous than the group of little monster bees.
Even if this demon bee swallowed the demon pill, it was just a monster that became a monk halfway, and it was not as good as those monsters that grew up naturally. Therefore, no matter how powerful it was, it would not be the opponent of the three genuine monks. The reason why they were forced by the bee swarm was that they were not afraid to get close to each other was because the number of demon bees was too large and it was easy for the three of them to be difficult to care about. Now there are only three big ones left, and there are not so many concerns.
The fact is indeed much simpler than what Zhao Gongming thought. The two large demon bees who rushed towards Tianyou first made Tianyou kill one. Of course, this result mainly relies on the sharpness and automatic guidance function of Taiyi Sword. Tianyou has never learned swordsmanship, and at best he knows basic actions such as picking and stinging. The weapon usage course of the Divine Weapon Sect is all intermediate courses, and it has not yet begun to teach Tianyou and their new disciples. Fortunately, Taiyi Sword is powerful enough to deal with a few demon bees that are not as good as a climate. It doesn't require any swordsmanship at all. Just rush up and chop them up.
It was no surprise to kill a demon bee Tianyou, but instead confirmed his thoughts, so he killed the remaining demon bee with greater confidence. However, before he could meet the demon bee, he heard a scream from behind.
Tianyou, who endured the worry in his heart, forced himself to suppress himself and did not feel distracted and looked back. Instead, he wisely chose to concentrate on killing the second extra-large demon bee first, so that he had time to look back and observe the situation of Pang Dahai and the others. As a result, Tianyou, who was originally worried that something would happen to the two of them would happen, almost laughed when he turned around.
I saw a sharp sword on the back of the demon bee that was led away by Zhao Gongming and others, and Zhao Gongming hung on the back of the demon bee like riding a horse. He held the hilt of the sword tightly with his hands and did not dare to let go. Pang Dahai chased behind bare hands and wanted to help, but due to insufficient speed, he couldn't catch up.
Seeing this, Tianyou was not anxious. He slowly took Taiyi Sword back into Wuyou's bag, thought about it and took out the Emperor Dao Sword. Looking at the demon bee that was rushing towards him, Tianyou loudly reminded him and dodged the sea, then moved a little half a step away, just avoiding the impact of the demon bee. At the same time, he turned around in place, and the Emperor Dao Sword in his hand was slapped horizontally on the demon bee's forehead by him as a baseball bat.
Compared with the slender Taiyi sword as thin as Liu, the Emperor Dao Sword is a serious two-handed heavy sword. Although it is not as exaggerated as Bai Bingyu's door-board giant sword, it is at least as wide as a palm. With Tianyou's brute force and rotation and concentration, the force of the slap is quite strong. Moreover, Tianyou also used a skill, not a frontal slap, but a slightly top-down angle.
The demon bee could not fly high and could only fly against the ground. Now that she had someone on her body, it would be even more difficult to maintain altitude. At the moment, her unprepared head was hit hard, and the demon bee was instantly slapped with mud before she could react. The huge clamp-shaped mouthpiece was inserted into the ground, but her body was still rushing forward due to inertia, and finally she could only roll forward from her head down and her tail.
Zhao Gongming, who was originally hanging on the back of the demon bee, was thrown out as the demon bee overturned. However, as soon as he flew, he was grabbed by a powerful hand and pulled it out and pressed it on the ground.
Zhao Gongming was still a little shocked here. The demon bee had already rolled all the way and hit a big tree. A large piece of leaves fell down on the top of the tree in an instant. Then, with a squeaking sound that gradually increased, the big tree finally fell down slowly under the gaze of the three of them.
Although the demon bee that had overturned broke a big tree that was embraced by the two of them, after all, the demons were stumbled and climbed up again. Unfortunately, Tianyou had already been waiting beside him. Before this guy could recover, the Emperor Dao Sword had already swung down again, but this time he used a sword blade.
Snap.
Without the extremely sharpness of the Taiyi Sword, which is as light as nothing, as if it is divided into water, Taiyi Sword can still feel some resistance when cutting into an object, but it is still extremely weak. Tianyou even believes that this resistance does not come from the sword blade, but because of the friction caused by the thick spine of the sword.
In short, the demon bee was beheaded without accident after the sword, and half of her chest and abdomen were cut diagonally.
The Emperor Dao Sword does not have the ability to guide users to attack like Taiyi Sword, and it is somewhat unaccustomed to using such a heavy sword suddenly, so Tianyou's landing point is slightly off. He had planned to cut off his head before, but it turned out to the position of the demon bee's chest and abdomen. Fortunately, the Emperor Dao Sword is also sharp enough, and it's the same wherever it is cut.
Pang Dahai asked in disbelief: "Are we completing the task?"
"It can only be half done." Tianyou said, then took out the insecticide powder he had made before, and then carefully sprinkled it on the remaining honeycombs that were blown up. "Okay, now it's 80% complete."
Zhao Gongming asked with some concern: "Tianyou, the beehive has exploded like this. Are you sure that the group of demon bees will continue to live here after they come back?"
"No, they will definitely change places."
"Then isn't this medicine powder sprinkled in vain?"
Tianyou asked back while putting away the Emperor Dao Sword and changing into a skinning knife: "Don't you pack your luggage when you move?"
Zhao Gongming immediately understood, but Pang Dahai was still asking stupidly: "This demon bee is not a human, where is the luggage you packed?"
"Of course, the demon bees don't have to pack their luggage, but the larvae in this nest cannot give up. Otherwise, even if these adult demon bees move to other places, they will die sooner or later."
Pang Dahai thought for a long time but couldn't figure out why the adult demon bee died after leaving. However, Tianyou said that the demon bee would transfer larvae, but he thought it was very reasonable. As the saying goes, tiger poisons don't eat any more. This demon bee should be similar.
He thought he understood what Tianyou meant, and when he came back to his senses, he realized that Tianyou was busy working on a giant demon bee. "I said Tianyou, what are you looking for?" Because Tianyou cut the position and it was obviously not where the poison sac was, and seeing how he was digging around on the corpse, it was clearly looking for something, so Pang Dahai had this question.
Tianyou was almost buried in the demon bee's chest, and he heard his muffled response through the demon bee's remaining body. "Oh, I see this demon bee so big, I want to find out if there is a demon pill or something."
In addition to practicing, the cultivators in Shenzhou Continent like to do the most is to kill demons and eliminate demons. In addition to being praised by the people, the more important reason is that this monster will have a demon pill, and this demon pill is precisely a cultivation resource that monks need very much. Therefore, whether for fame or profit, monks will be very happy to kill demons and eliminate demons. Of course, compared with the strength of each monk, they will not touch monsters that are too strong or too weak. If they are too strong, they cannot beat them, and if they are too weak, they are not worth a waste of time.
Because this monster produces demon pills, every monk will learn about this information as soon as he gets started. Pang Dahai and Zhao Gongming are no exception. After all, Tongzifeng has specifically talked about these contents. The reason why I didn't remember it for a while was mainly because both of them were hunting monsters for the first time and have not yet developed the habit of harvesting materials after removing monsters. Of course, as the number of battles increases, they will definitely become more and more familiar with this in the future.
After Tianyou reminded him, Pang Dahai and Zhao Gongming were not stunned. The two quickly ran towards the remaining two demon bees, and then began to learn from Tianyou's appearance to try to find the demon pill. However, seeing that Tianyou was busy with energy, they were both in trouble.
The giant demon bee's shell was really hard. Zhao Gongming's sword could still be cut, but Pang Dahai found that he could not find a tool to use. His knife was broken, and even if it was not broken, it could not be cut. However, Zhao Gongming's side was not very smooth. Although his sword was pretty good, it was the effect of using inertial cutting when wielding. In this static mode, he would definitely make trouble for himself to use the sword as a skinning knife. Zhao Gongming only cut a small hole after spending a long time, and almost cut his hand.
The two of them were working hard, but Tianyou had already crawled out of the hollowed-out chest of the giant demon bee. "Ha, it turns out there is really."
In fact, Tianyou had known that there must be a demon pill here. After all, Pandora said that she watched the people from the Night Temple stuff three demon pills into the beehive. There were three giant demon bees here. It would be strange if the demon pills were not in their three belly. Of course, this reason could not be told to Pang Dahai and the others, so Tianyou could only pretend to be ignorant.
However, Tianyou's process of finding the demon pill is not pretending. The location of the demon pill of each monster is actually different. Except that it must be in the torso or head, there is almost no place that cannot grow.
Tianyou, who crawled out with the demon pill, carefully wiped the demon pill in his hand, admired the sunshine again, and then put it away with satisfaction.
Compared with this mission reward, these three demon pills are probably their main benefit. However, although Tianyou had sold demon pills before, they were only the lowest-level ones, and some of them were not even formed, so he could not be sure of the value of the demon pill in his hand. If we consider the price of the demon pills recovered by Zixiao Palace, the contributions of these three demon pills can really be calculated. However, Tianyou is sure that any demon pills here will definitely contribute more than 30 points.
After containing his demon pill, Tianyou came to Pang Dahai and the others.
Zhao Gongming had already cut a cut at this time, but the demon bee's chest was protected by exoskeleton, so it was difficult to tear it open even after cutting it, let alone crawling in to find the demon pill. Pang Dahai was even worse. This guy smashed and knocked the demon bee's corpse, but it was completely useless except for rubbing off a large piece of the fuzz on the demon bee's chest.
"Stop, stop, stop, you can't dig until tomorrow morning." Tianyou said as he walked to Zhao Gongming, squeezed the guy aside, then changed direction, cut a small hole from the position behind the demon bee, then reached in for a while, and pulled out a demon pill with mucus dripping in a few strokes. "Hey, wipe it yourself." He threw the demon pill to Zhao Gongming, and Tianyou rushed to Pang Dahai again.
Pang Dahai, who knew that no matter how busy he was, he wasted his time, quickly gave up his position to Tianyou. Seeing him holding a curved knife and making a gap in the demon bee, he couldn't help but ask him curiously: "Tianyou, what kind of knife do you have? Why does it feel like it's not difficult to cut this monster?"
When talking, Tianyou had already taken out the demon pill. He had found the location when he took the first demon pill before. Now, it would be fine if he started directly.
Throwing the demon pill in his hand to Pang Dahai, Tianyou began to cut the tail needle of the demon bee and the poison sac connected to the back. He was still explaining: "I used this knife a long time ago. I found the claws of a monster that should have been. I found it in an abandoned monster nest. It looks ordinary, but it is very useful when cutting things. It is too short and can only be used as a skinning knife."
"It must be so sharp, I guess I have a very powerful monster." Zhao Gongming had already admired his demon pill at this time, and carefully put it away and walked over.
"In fact, it may not be a powerful monster, otherwise it would not have been eaten. However, it was found that the nest of the claws was also empty, and its original owner should have been killed by a more powerful monster, otherwise the good cave would not have been idle."
At this time, Pang Dahai also wiped his demon pill and carefully put it in. Then he asked Tianyou curiously: "I heard you say that, the mountains are really dangerous. Tianyou, how did you survive in the mountains before?"
"There is nothing else, just three things: a complete preparation, a calm mind, a cautious mind, and maybe a little luck."
"I don't know if you are lucky in Tianyou, but the first three must admit that few people can compare to you. No wonder you can hunt alone in places like Qingyuan Mountain at such a young age."
"Is Qingyuan Mountain so dangerous?" Pang Dahai asked inexplicably.
"You are from the neutral area and don't know what's going on here." Zhao Gongming explained to Pang Dahai: "Qingyuan Mountain is in our Daqin, so it's a famous stranger. Not to mention ordinary people, if you want to go to the opposite side of the mountain, you have to walk around the foot of the mountain and pass by the mountain. At least you have to be the cultivation level of the immortals and the others."
"But isn't Tianyou right in the mountains?"
"So he's amazing."
"Oh." Pang Dahai suddenly realized. "No wonder Tianyou said at that time that Tongzi Peak that he was hunting in Qingyuan Mountain for a living. Your Qin people came to admire him so much."
"We recommend Tianyou not because of this." Zhao Gongming originally wanted to talk about the fact that Tianyou let the instructor go out of the training camp at Bai Qi, but he still couldn't say it out. Tianyou also interrupted their conversation.
"Okay, I've cleaned up here. Let's leave quickly while the bee swarm hasn't come back. It's going to be troublesome if you're blocked here."
When he thought of the return bee swarm, Pandahai and Zhao Gongming immediately moved, and quickly evacuated the nearby area with Tianyou.
Not to mention, Tianyou and his team grasped their time quite accurately. Almost as soon as they left, the group of demon bees flew back like bombers.
Because of uncertainty about whether the time is enough, Xuanfeng still hangs behind the bee swarm and harasses them constantly. However, the bee swarm is not really stupid. After being harassed for so long, he will fly to a high place every time he wants to chase Xuanfeng. Although the demon bee's combat power has been enhanced, its flying ability is not as good as the wild bees before. Besides, even a normal bee cannot compare with Xuanfeng, right? So after a few twists and turns back and forth, the bee swarm completely gave up. No matter how Xuanfeng harassed them, they just flew back and forth, even if they were killed, they would never stop.
Fortunately, although Xuanfeng failed to keep the bee colony, fortunately enough time was enough.
The returning bee swarm exploded as soon as they returned to the nest. A group of demon bees buzzed and flew up and down around the remaining nest, and then began to fly around as if they wanted to find the murderer. Of course, their efforts could not have resulted, because Tianyou and the others had already run far away at this time.
After a period of turbulence, the bee swarmed, probably exhausted its strength and finally calmed down. The bee swarm that had recovered from peace began to line up and drill into the remaining half of the bee hive, searching for the larvae that had not yet died, and then flew out to form a cluster. This was obviously planning to move. After all, the previous nests were destroyed, which means that it was not safe here. The demon bee was just cruel and not stupid. He knew it was not safe. Of course, he would not stay there even though he knew it was not safe.
The number of demon bees that crawled into the beehive and crawled out actually only accounted for two-fifths of the total bee swarm. After these demon bees gathered, they were about to leave the broken bee hive, and suddenly there were demon bees falling one after another.
Tianyou specially added herbs to block the properties of medicine, which slowed down the speed of the insecticide powder's magical effect, in order to increase the killing ratio as much as possible. Too fast toxicity can easily cause alertness, causing the bee colony to retreat in advance.
But now there is no chance for the bee swarm. The demon bees carrying larvae fell to the ground one after another, and the larvae under them were also poisoned. But like the demon bees that fell, they did not die at all for a while and were still twisting and struggling. The remaining demon bees immediately fell down to rescue the larvae, but they did not produce any meaningful results in addition to being infected with insecticide powder.
Although the attack time is very long, the medicinal properties will eventually occur. In the end, most of the demon bees died within a hundred steps near the beehive. Although the remaining dozens of demon bees survived because the larvae were dead, this actually has no meaning to the bee colony.
Although demon bees have been transformed, their foundation is still ordinary wild bees. These adult demon bees are all female, the so-called worker bees, and they have no reproductive ability at all. As long as the larvae in the nest does not contact the pheromones emitted by the queen bees and eat some royal jelly containing specific hormones, they will naturally evolve into queen bees and drones, which will ensure the reproduction of the bees. Unfortunately, all the larvae have died now, and only a few dozen adult worker bees are left, and it is impossible to reproduce again.
In fact, even if the larvae are not dead, Tianyou and the others' mission should be considered completed.
After all, the wild bees themselves are not a threat. The real danger is the wild bees that have been transformed after the demonization. The demon bees are not naturally formed monsters. Now all three demon pills have been taken away. Without the nourishment of the demon pills that continue to leak the demon pills, even if those demon bees rebreed, they will gradually lose their demon power and turn back into wild bees.
Of course, Tianyou was not paying attention to these things. He was asking Zhao Gongming how many contribution points could this demon pill be exchanged for.
In terms of the ten demon removals, Zhao Gongming could not catch up with Tianyou, but after all, they were from merchant families. The demon pill is also a high-value and valuable goods, so Zhao Gongming's ability to identify demon pills is quite powerful. Unfortunately, he doesn't know much about the recycling price of demon pills in Zixiao Palace, so he still can't estimate it accurately.
"It should be able to contribute around 40 to 80." Zhao Gongming said with his demon pill in a daring manner. "The price fluctuations in our business are quite large, mainly because the supply has been unstable. In the event of a long-term shortage of stocks and someone urgently needs them, the price is not accurate. However, our Zixiao Palace is an orthodox immortal sect after all, and the ground is full of cultivators. The demon pill should not be out of stock, so I didn't dare to overestimate it."
Pang Dahai doesn’t care about that much, and holding his demon pill makes me feel stupid. “There’s a lot of money to make contributions of 40. Isn’t this mission only 30 contributions? Or are we three points? This means that each person can contribute at least 40 points. Isn’t this enough profit?"
Speaking of this, Zhao Gongming suddenly handed his demon pill to Tianyou. After Tianyou cast a look inquiring, he said: "Senior Brother Tianyou, don't you have friends in the Treasure Artifact Sect? Although the cultivators need this thing, it depends on who uses it. I have inquired before. The Treasure Artifact Sect has the highest price for various materials. Why don't Senior Brother Tianyou ask your friend to help me ask about the price? Even if it's cheaper to sell it to your friend, it's better than just going to the Merit Hall to exchange for contribution points, right?"
Zhao Gongming's proposal resonated with Tianyou.
Remember that I tried to deal with the online games I played before I went through time. Didn’t I try to deal with the outdated equipment I didn’t use to other players? Throwing the system store is a helpless move that no one wants. After all, there is no one who doesn’t know how much the system store is, so no one who plays the game doesn’t know.
Although reality is not a game, and the Hall of Merit is not a system store, it is not bad if Tianyou feels that more questions are asked. If it really doesn't work, throw it away again... No, it's sold to the Hall of Merit.
After accepting the commission from Pang Dahai and Zhao Gongming, they sold the demon pills on their behalf. Thinking about the contribution points they were about to get, the three of them were quite happy, and even the fatigue that had been struggling for a day seemed to have disappeared.
When he was about to arrive in the town, Xuanfeng caught up with Tianyou from behind, and circled around the heads of the three of them and flew back to the inn first. Tianyou then remembered Pandora's affairs. After hesitating for a moment, he discussed with Zhao Gongming and transferred his demon pill to him. Zhao Gongming didn't have to contribute points, just trade it with gold.
Although Zhao Gongming was very surprised that Tianyou didn't contribute some gold, he had money anyway, so he lacked some contribution points. So after repeatedly confirming that Tianyou really wanted to exchange, he agreed. However, the demon pill was still placed here for the time being. After all, he had to rely on him to ask Lu Meng to help sell it.
Zhao Gongming didn't carry so much gold, but he had a redemption ticket, which was equivalent to a general check, but the amount was written in advance. Zhao Gongming, who gave the redemption ticket to Tianyou, always felt that he had taken advantage of Tianyou, and finally confirmed it a few times before he felt relieved.
According to the plan, the three of them should have set off to Shanglin Town this afternoon to complete the search task, but the previous task was delayed too much time. Now it is already the time to Shenshi. It will be dark after a while. Considering that everyone is tired for a day, they can only change their plan and stay in the town for one more night.
There is actually another reason why Tianyou didn't want to leave so quickly, that is, he wanted to give the money to Pandora.
It is not that Tianyou was stupid to exchange the demon pill for gold, but that he kept his promise. He was the guarantor of the gold that Ying Ying owed Pandora. Now it is not convenient to go back to Ying Ying, so it is worth it for him to help him advance. Besides, he is now asking Zhao Gongming to exchange the demon pill for gold to repay the debt. When he goes back, he will talk to Ying Ying about the incident. Will Ying Ying be embarrassed to use gold to repay the debt directly? At that time, Ying Ying will not only have to repay him to contribute, but also have to bear his favor. No matter how he calculates this account, he will not lose.
Originally, Tianyou had already planned to pay back the money at night, but she didn't expect that Pandora would slept in the inn overnight but didn't come. It was said that she had been waiting for Tianyou in the town for several months, but Tianyou finally went down the mountain, but she ran away without any reason. However, Tianyou didn't bother with this, so he called Pang Dahai and the others to go straight to Shanglin Town the next morning.
Yesterday, it was obvious that Tianyou had overslept, but today it was Zhao Gongming who was sleepy and dragged out of the quilt by Tianyou. This guy got two demon pills in one breath, but because he was so excited, he actually had insomnia and waited until dawn before falling asleep. Now he had been dragged up again after less than an hour of sleep. Only when he was able to be energetic can he have a ghost. However, Tianyou, regardless of whether he was energetic or not, he raised Zhao Gongming and left with Pang Dahai.
The task of finding someone has a time limit. If it exceeds it, it may have to save the life of the other person's child. Tianyou dare not neglect it.
Chapter completed!
