Chapter 31 Amazing Efficiency
Several days later.
The boundary of the rocky mountain range.
"My dear friends, that mountain range is fraught with danger. So once you enter the mountain range, remember to immediately use the concealment technique and stay close to us."
"Otherwise, things could easily go wrong, and you might even implicate your companions."
Zhou Shan kindly offered some advice to Kui Yi and the others.
That's certainly true.
"..."
The other members of the demon-hunting team agreed.
"Seniors, we will be careful."
Kuiyi and the others nodded solemnly and obediently did as instructed.
This move greatly pleased Zhou Shan and the others.
Zhou Shan then summoned the mid-grade first-tier "Black-eyed Eagle".
It is about the size of a millstone, with black feathers all over its body, powerful wings, and sharp eyes, as if it can see through everything.
"Black Eyes, go up in the sky and keep an eye on the surroundings."
Zhou Shan, using the beast-taming restriction, carefully instructed the black-feathered creature.
He also informed him about the monster materials the shop needed and asked him to help search for monsters that possessed those materials.
Woohoo!!
The black-eyed eagle nodded.
Then it flapped its wings and flew swiftly into the sky like a sharp sword, helping Zhou Shan observe the surroundings.
"Let's go, follow them."
Zhou Shan then led Kui Yi and the others to follow the black-eyed eagle and entered the Rocky Mountain Range.
During this time, the black-eyed eagle's reconnaissance skills were quite good.
Therefore, guided by it, the group bypassed many powerful groups of monsters.
They quickly found two low-grade first-tier Netherfire Leopards.
They were a pair, searching for prey.
In addition, they are all extremely slender, covered with solid muscles, with black and red fur, and move extremely fast, like shadow assassins, with a powerful aura.
"According to records, their fur is extremely tough and their bones are hard, making them excellent materials for crafting fire-attribute magical artifacts."
"The Dongyang weapon-refining shop is extremely eager for such things, and in addition, their strength is not strong."
"Besides, there are no other monsters around, so we can try to kill it."
Zhou Shan muttered to himself.
In addition, he and the other demon-hunting team members planned to give the two Netherfire Leopards to Kui Yi and the others to practice on in order to help them get used to demon hunting.
"We will be there to support you, and we will definitely lend a hand if you encounter any trouble."
"Moreover, as long as you can kill those two demonic beasts by yourself, according to the rules, all the spoils from them will belong to you."
Zhou Shan and the others said.
"Alright, thank you very much, Senior Zhou."
Upon hearing this, Kui Yi and the others were overjoyed.
Then, they joined Zhou Shan and the others in attacking the two Netherfire Leopards.
During this time, they also summoned a small dark golden rat from a beast-taming bag.
"Kuiyi, you charge straight in. Little Dark Gold Rat and Kuifang, find an opportunity to attack the two Netherfire Leopards from the flanks, since those areas are relatively vulnerable."
Because Kui Yi was skilled in using people, he immediately made arrangements.
Immediately afterwards, he took out his bow and arrows and began to draw the bow and shoot arrows one after another.
shhhhhh! ! !
The arrows were so accurate and fast that they caught the two Netherfire Leopards off guard.
It pierced through their tough fur and penetrated their bodies.
Although they weren't killed, they were seriously injured.
Ho ho ho! ! !
The two Netherfire Leopards cried out in pain, only then belatedly realizing that Kui Yi and the others had appeared.
Furthermore, given the large number of Kui Yi and his group, they became somewhat fearful and wanted to retreat immediately.
But it was too late.
"You beast, die!"
With a roar, Kui Yi wielded his mountain-splitting axe and strode forward, charging towards the faces of the two Netherfire Leopards.
He even swung his axe so hard that he cleaved a Netherfire Leopard in two, following the wounds inflicted by the arrows.
"Kuiichi, I'll help."
Kui Fang and Little Dark Gold Rat arrived shortly after and quickly circled around to the side of the remaining Netherfire Leopard, attacking its waist repeatedly. Their actions were decisive, and they killed it in the process.
The process took only a few breaths.
Everything flowed smoothly and effortlessly.
"I really didn't expect that you, young friend Kui Yi, would have a Dark Gold Rat, and that your fighting ability is so good, not even inferior to ours."
"..."
Zhou Shan and the others who were watching from the sidelines were slightly surprised when they saw this, and a hint of joy appeared on their faces.
After all, the stronger Kui Yi and his group are, the greater their help to the demon-hunting team will be.
Next, all that's needed is to observe the character of Kui and his ilk.
However, they were completely overthinking this matter, since Kui Yi and the others simply wanted to join forces with the demon-hunting team to hunt demons.
Therefore, in the days that followed, after they saw that Kui Yi and the others had not caused any trouble and had been honestly hunting demons, they gradually began to truly accept Kui Yi and the others.
They even signed a long-term alliance with Kui Yi and others to hunt demons together.
The two sides cooperated better and better, and were often able to kill some monsters at very low cost.
Both sides gained a great deal.
……
In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.
This day.
Kui Yi and his companions had exhausted all their protective spirit items and had suffered injuries of varying degrees, making it unsuitable for them to continue hunting demons.
They then temporarily left the Rocky Mountain Range and returned to the Dongyang Refining Shop to report their task.
now.
The backyard of the Dongyang weapon-refining shop.
"Kuiichi and the others have finally returned."
Ye Xuan'an breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Kui Yi and the others had returned safely.
In addition, seeing that some of the old cultivators in the demon-hunting team were injured, he also gave them some healing pills as a token of goodwill.
The same applies to Qiu Yang and Li Dong.
This also attracted the goodwill of those cultivators.
After a few more words, they got down to business.
"Brother Zhou... thank you for your hard work this time. How was your harvest?"
Qiu Yang and Li Dong asked curiously.
"Of course, it's excellent."
"..."
Zhou Shan and the other demon-hunting team members were overjoyed as they took out all the demon beast materials, spiritual plants, and other items they had obtained.
Because there were so many of them, they were piled up into several small mountains.
Moreover, according to them, those things were obtained by killing dozens of innate demonic beasts or low-grade first-order demonic beasts.
"You killed so many monsters?"
"This efficiency is truly astonishing."
Upon seeing this, Ye Xuan'an and the others gasped in shock.
After all, in the past, it would have taken Zhou Shan and his team at least a year to accomplish this task.
But now it was completed in just six months.
Efficiency has increased by nearly double.
"We owe this matter to the full assistance of young friend Kui Yi and others; without their help, we would not have been able to accomplish this."
Zhou Shan and the other demon-hunting team members couldn't help but praise Kui Yi and the others.
"Your Excellencies are truly kind."
Kui Yi and the others said modestly.
Immediately afterward, Qiu Yang and his companion saw that there were a large quantity of spiritual materials, and once they could be refined into artifacts, they would surely make a fortune.
At the same time, in order to motivate Zhou Shan and others.
They then purchased all the spiritual materials at a 20% premium.
The total cost was approximately two thousand spirit stones.
"You two brothers are truly generous."
Zhou Shan and the others were immediately overjoyed.
After chatting with Qiu Yang and the other person for a few more minutes, they said goodbye and left, and then divided the spirit stones with Kui Yi and the others.
And they are more fair.
In addition, the three of them, including Kui, had previously contributed a great deal of effort.
Kui Yi and his two companions received nearly nine hundred spirit stones, even after disregarding the spirit talismans and other spiritual items they had previously spent.
At least eight hundred spirit stones will be earned in pure profit.
It took six months.
The three of them can earn an average of more than forty spirit stones per month, which is at least several times better than the income of ordinary cultivators of the same level, which is quite good.
Therefore, Kui Yi and the others immediately showed more joy on their faces, and privately handed over all the spirit stones to Ye Xuan'an, while also recounting the previous demon-hunting situation.
In addition, Zhou Shan and his group planned to rest for a period of time before continuing their journey three months later.
"This is a good time management strategy, a good balance between work and rest."
"Furthermore, according to what Kui Yi and the others said, the character of Senior Zhou Shan and the other demon-hunting team members is indeed quite good, as rumored."
"Furthermore, Kui Yi and his group earn relatively high incomes from hunting demons, so it's feasible to have them cooperate with us on demon hunting in the long term."
After learning everything, Ye Xuan'an couldn't help but feel a little happy, and he secretly made some plans.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Xuan'an used the spirit stones given to him by Kui Yi and the others to purchase some resources for cultivating qi and blood.
He used the remaining funds to purchase a large batch of materials for refining weapons and creating formations, honing his skills.
There were many such spiritual materials, and Ye Xuan'an also had good aptitude.
Moreover, the art of weapon crafting and formation requires extensive practice.
As a result, Ye Xuan'an's skills progressed extremely quickly.
