CHAPTER XV BUILDING
"You're full of spirit! It seems that the task I've given you is still too light. Starting tomorrow, there will be two Level 5 Demonic Beast. " When Dugu Hong returned to the top of the mountain, the sky was already dark.
Seeing Dugu Hong coming up the mountain in a hurry, the old man was very unhappy. Thus, he shouted at Dugu Hong loudly. It scared Dugu Hong so much that he didn't even dare to raise his head.
However, his current thoughts were not that simple. At this moment, he was silently cursing the old man. Of course, his head was lowered to the point where it couldn't be any lower. The old man across from him couldn't see it.
"Hurry up and cook!" You want to starve me to death! " The old man directly kicked Dugu Hong into the forest. Dugu Hong felt very wronged as he explored the dark forest. Luckily, he had been in the forest for more than a year, or else he would not know where he would have been able to find food.
Very quickly, two wild chickens and a dozen wild eggs appeared in his hands. And, of course, fresh mushrooms. These were the seeds that he usually left behind. This was the perfect time to use it.
With two less pheasants, he used the dozen or so wild eggs to make a big pot of mushroom and egg soup. The old fellow ate heartily. When Dugu Hong came out of the kitchen, he found that there was only a pile of chicken bones left on the table.
"Luckily I kept my trump card, otherwise I would really starve!" Dugu Hong immediately turned towards the kitchen. A big bowl of wild chicken meat quickly appeared in his hand. Of course, there was also a pot of mushroom soup. This kid had become much more shrewd after being with the old guy for so long.
In the following days, Dugu Hong was in deep pain and happy. The old fellow directly tortured him inhumane. However, his rate of growth wasn't slow. Level five Demonic Beast could no longer make it difficult for him. Ten level five Demonic Beast a day was something he could easily accomplish. Furthermore, they could also send firewood to Liu Xu's home. Of course, this was only the reason. Everyone understands.
During this time, the relationship between Dugu Hong and Liu Xu continued to heat up. He always had to find an opportunity to see her every day. If he couldn't, then his heart would feel terrible! It was as if the two of them had come to a tacit understanding. No matter how late it was, the one who had arrived earlier would never leave the place where they were going to meet if they didn't see each other.
Although their meeting time was very short, it was enough for them to look at each other. There was no need for words. Sometimes, just for the sake of looking at each other from afar, their hearts would be filled with sweetness.
Of course, he had caused quite a bit of trouble for the old man. This made Dugu Hong feel pain and happiness. Finally, half a year later.
"From today onwards, I will hunt for Level 7 Demonic Beast." The old man had already assigned a mission to Dugu Hong early in the morning. Dugu Hong was stunned, the level 6 Demonic Beast had not started! He looked at the old man with wide eyes, and the result was obvious. He was kicked out again. The innocent Dugu Hong patted his butt that was in pain and walked deeper into the forest.
At this moment, the sun had already set. Many of the Demonic Beast had already rested. Based on his past experience, he knew that the Demonic Beast in this forest were divided into different levels. The deeper one went, the higher the level of the Demonic Beast.
Furthermore, every powerful Demonic Beast had their own territory. Previously, when he hunted Level 5 Demonic Beast, he had entered the place where Level 7 Demonic Beast lived. There were less Demonic Beast there, or perhaps lower level Demonic Beast did not dare to go there.
He remembered that place. There was a deep pool where a powerful level seven Demonic Beast lived — — Eagle. Not only was this guy powerful, he was also the overlord of the sky in this forest. Many powerful level eight Demonic Beast did not dare to provoke it. The current Dugu Hong was heading in this direction.
Although he wasn't sure, the old man had already arranged the mission. He couldn't back down! That's not what men do. Although he did not know why he had always listened so well to the old man. However, he had a feeling that this old man definitely had a purpose. Of course, there was no harm in doing so.
At this time, he had already entered the territory of the sixth level Demonic Beast. Because of his long time fighting with the Demonic Beast, he was already able to conceal his own aura very well. After quickly passing through, it did not attract the attention of the level six Demonic Beast. He came to the Eagle's territory.
It was noon, and the sun was still very hot. Although it was covered by the treetops, the air in the forest still felt very stuffy. Dugu Hong was not only nervous, but also tired.
His eyes were darting around, his muscles tensed. He did not dare to be careless. This sudden jump made his originally somewhat strenuous nerves tense up all of a sudden.
Of course, he did not know that at this moment, there was a middle-aged man sitting in the old man's hut drinking tea with him!
"Is this going to increase the growth rate?" The middle-aged man couldn't help but ask.
"Time waits for no one!" You know, that Bullfight Palace student is going to start recruiting in three months. I have to go back now. I can't possibly take this brat, who has yet to grow up, with me at any time, right? " The old man took a sip of his tea.
"Yeah, I have a lot of things to do, too. "Even princesses need to grow …" As he said this, the middle-aged man spoke with some difficulty.
"So, everyone has their own path to take. Of course, he was destined to meet me. But the road has to be walked by himself. " The old man said lightly.
"Yes." Xuanyuan Haotian, let's have a double play from now on! Hearing this, the middle-aged man also understood and directly said.
"Yes." Suit yourself. That's your son-in-law. " Xuanyuan Haotian said meaningfully. The middle-aged man gave him a deep look before leaving. Of course, Dugu Hong and Liu Xu did not know about all this.
At this moment, Liu Xu was at the edge of the forest picking mushrooms! This was the method Dugu Hong had taught her. After eating the mushroom soup cooked by Dugu Hong, she had fallen for this kind of thing.
At this time, Dugu Hong had already stepped into the territory of the level seven Demonic Beast — Eagle. Perhaps it was because his aura was well hidden, or perhaps it was because he was too weak. In any case, the Eagle did not show any signs of him at all.
He was not here to play with the soy sauce, he had to subdue this Eagle. Thus, he slowly headed towards the big tree where the Eagle resided.
"Chirp!" A huge cry suddenly sounded, startling Dugu Hong. The Eagle sensed that Dugu Hong was getting closer, so it gave him a warning. It looked like it had just eaten its fill. He had no interest in this insignificant human being. It was just a simple warning.
At this time, Dugu Hong started to carefully observe this big guy. Its body was about ten meters long, and it had a pair of eagle eyes and a vulture's sharp beak. Thick feathers, and wings that flexed against the body. Although the wings did not spread out, one could clearly feel its length. It was at least fifteen to twenty meters long and was also a wing. If he were to spread both his wings, then it would truly produce a shocking effect.
What surprised Dugu Hong the most were his thick and sturdy legs. From time to time, the sharp claws would shine with a dark light. One could tell that it was extremely dangerous.
