Chapter 187 Rumors in the Valley
(late second update)
Qian Hong and the others followed the trail left by Tong Yaohu and Li Jin to the foot of a cliff.

There was a cave under the cliff, and it was so dark that nothing could be seen inside, but the gusts of wind from time to time told Qian Hong and the others that the bronze waisted tiger was inside the cave.

On the outside of the cave, Li Jin and Gao Ruoxi were setting up camp behind a few thick ancient money birch trees.This location was chosen extremely cleverly, not only being able to see the cave not far away, but also being protected by a giant tree, so that it would not be a painful meal when the copper waisted tiger rushed out.

"My lords." Qian Hong stopped not far from Li Jin, cupped his hands and saluted, "Are you going to hunt that high-level soul pet?"

grown ups?Li Jin looked at Qian Hong suspiciously: "What's the matter?"

On the contrary, Gao Ruoxi understood after a little thought.Since Qian Hong called them adults, it must be because he saw Li Jin's "chasing and killing" of the seventh-level bronze waist tiger before, and misunderstood their strength.She didn't say anything right now, but just looked at Qian Hong and the others with a smile.

"My lord, have you ever seen a man in Qianqiu Ridge?" Immediately, Qian Hong described the appearance of the leader of their pet hunting group.

Gao Ruoxi fell silent all of a sudden, and her expression was no longer so frivolous.Li Jin was also startled when he heard the words, and stared at Qian Hong and the others in a daze.

When Qian Hong saw the expressions of the two, his mood fell to the bottom all of a sudden, and he said with a strong face: "Did you two adults really meet the head of my family? Look at this, he really is..."

Li Jin had no choice but to tell Qian Hong in a low voice, where they found the man's body before.The four of Qian Hong thanked them and left quickly. They knew that if they wanted to save their regiment leader's body, they had to find him before some wild beasts.

"These pet hunters are quite pitiful. They are fighting with their lives." Gao Ruoxi shook his head and sighed.

"From the current point of view, it is indeed the case." Li Jin nodded slowly, "Didn't you realize that we didn't meet many people during this journey? Logically speaking, the people who eat this bowl of rice in Qianqiu Ridge It shouldn't be so few."

After such a reminder, Gao Ruoxi suddenly discovered this problem: "That's right, in the past, in this mountain, whether it was hunting pets or hunting treasures, there shouldn't be only this kind of people. By the way, could it be because... "

"That's right." Li Jin nodded, "The distribution of soul pets in Qianqiu Ridge has been disrupted. It was no problem for these people to seek survival in the outer circle, but now a high-level soul pet pops up from time to time. We have to make them lose more than they gain. Thinking about this period of time, there must be quite a few people who have given up this profession."

After a while, Qian Hong and others came back holding the man's body.Li Jin and Gao Ruoxi also stood up quickly.

"Thank you two adults for your guidance, so that our regiment leader will not be eaten by wild beasts." Qian Hong sincerely thanked, and the other three had sad faces, bowed but were speechless.

Li Jin is well-deserved to thank Li Jin for this. If he hadn't been wrestling with the copper-waisted tiger for so long, Qian Hong's regiment leader would have died in the tiger's mouth.And after they left, the regiment leader was able to keep the whole body because of the traces of spiritual power left over from their battle and the awe of the copper-legged tiger.

On the other hand, Gao Ruoxi quickly returned the gift: "You're welcome, and I ask for your condolences. What are you going to do next?"

Qian Hong and the others had clearly discussed it, and said without hesitation: "We have to go out of the mountain first and bury the head of the regiment. As for other matters, let's see later!"

Li Jin nodded secretly.If the corpse was buried in Qianqiu Ridge, it might not be long before it would be dug up and eaten by wild beasts with a keen sense of smell, so it was inevitable to send it out for a good burial.

At this time, Qian Hong and the others were not only sad for the leader, but also a little confused about their future.The reason why their pet hunting group dared to continue to stay in Qianqiu Ridge to pick up jobs was mostly due to their outstanding group leader.Now that Qianqiu Ridge is full of dangers, they can no longer continue this business, so what should they do next?

"By the way, what about the one master and two servants who were with you before?" Gao Ruoxi suddenly remembered Shi Ziyan at this moment, and asked curiously.

Qian Hong was taken aback, and then told Gao Ruoxi what happened before.Unexpectedly, she clapped her hands and shouted: "My mother has always looked at that young master as disliked, but they asked you to work, and they are not willing to pay the fixed money. Is this still a family?"

The woman among Qian Hong's group yelled directly: "The Shi family is always very stingy, but this time they promised high rewards after the fact. I didn't think about how much we would be paid, and I didn't say it might be."

Qian Hong also shook his head and said: "The Shi family is actually nothing, it's just that they are under the shadow of the Zhou family. Now that the villain has achieved his ambition, he always pretends to be invincible."

"The Zhou family? Which Zhou family?" Gao Ruoxi was taken aback.

The woman shouted angrily: "Which other Zhou family can there be, isn't it the Zhou family of Dan Jincheng, the upstart of the dynasty? Once the emperor and the courtiers, Her Majesty the Queen ascended the throne, the power of the Zhou family skyrocketed, and even the chickens and dogs ascended to heaven!"

Li Jin frowned and didn't speak.In his opinion, people like Zhou Ming shouldn't have missed the side effects of the rapid expansion of the family's power. At this time, the Zhou family has a prominent status, but they are also more sensitive. How can outsiders spread gossip about their family at this time? ?

Now the Xu family's own strength is still slowly recovering, and the Zhou and Li families are like grasshoppers tied together.If Zhou and Li's family had a bad reputation, it would definitely affect the prestige of the royal family, and someone with a heart would definitely jump out and say that Xu Li was just a puppet, and the Mieshi Palace dormant at the side would definitely add fuel to the flames.

Seeing that Li Jin was silent, Qian Hong and the others were about to leave, but Li Jin stopped them again: "How much do you know about the changes in Qianqiu Ridge?"

Qian Hong and the others immediately turned sullen, and only heard one of them say angrily: "The distribution of soul pets in Qianqiu Ridge was suddenly disrupted, which can be regarded as harming us. Most of the pet hunters and treasure hunters have no choice but to save their lives. Leave the mountains and forests to find another livelihood. But us low-level pet masters, after leaving Qianqiu Ridge, how many places do we have to go? It’s nothing more than going to look after the homes of rich people, just dawdling around, how many people are willing?"

Qian Hong hurriedly stopped his companion's complaints, rationalized his thoughts, and then said to Li Jin: "Actually, this matter has been going on for some time. In the past, there were many people in Qianqiu Ridge, and everyone would gain more or less every day, but at the same time, everyone also felt that It seems that the number of soul pets in the mountains has dropped a bit too fast."

The main target of pet hunters is the cubs of soul pets, but they also know the truth that they can't go fishing in the marsh, so the cubs of each type of soul pet will not be caught in one go.In this way, the decline in the number of soul pets will be artificially noticed, which is indeed an extraordinary thing.

"Everyone began to monitor each other to avoid over-capturing soul pets. But the number of soul pets has been decreasing, and it has been more than a year." Qian Hong continued to recall, "And just about a year ago, A loud roar suddenly came from the depths of Qianqiu Ridge, and then the whole Qianqiu Ridge was in chaos."

"Roar?" Li Jin asked in confusion.

"We've never heard such a roar before. The impression is only two words, horror." Thinking back to this, Qian Hong's face became a little ugly.

"Yes, yes, we all heard it with our own ears at the time. The voice was indescribable, but it was terrifying." Another person also echoed, "After that, we discovered that the previous experience with the distribution of soul pets in Qianqiu Ridge It's completely useless, you may find a soul pet of the fourth or fifth rank in the edge of the forest, or you may be attacked by a high-ranking soul pet in the deep central area."

"We all think it's the soul pets in Qianqiu Valley who were kicked out of Qianqiu Ridge by the owner of the roar." The woman added, "However, the number of soul pets is still decreasing. Even those who appeared in Qianqiu Ridge The high-level soul pets in the periphery often disappear. If this kind of thing is hunted by colleagues, no one else will know about it, because everyone’s shipping channels are shared. At the same time, many high-level soul pets are not We dared to provoke them. So we can only think that they have returned to the depths."

"However, one year has passed, and the distribution of soul pets in Qianqiu Ridge is still in a mess, isn't it?" Li Jin looked at them thoughtfully.

"That's right? In this way, the jobs of pet hunters will be ruined." Qian Hong said helplessly.

Li Jin nodded: "Thank you for sharing this information. If you are going down the mountain today, you must start now."

"My lord, you are welcome." Qian Hong returned the courtesy, "In that case, we will take our leave."

Therefore, Qian Hong and others said goodbye to Li Jingao Ruoxi, turned around and left.

"I'm afraid something really happened in Qianqiu Valley." After the people left, Li Jin said thoughtfully.

"I'm afraid it is true. But what happened?" Gao Ruoxi asked curiously, "Is it true that there are terrifying soul pets as they said? But why the number of soul pets has decreased? Could it be that the terrifying As soon as the soul pet inhales, it eats up many soul pets?"

Li Jin didn't comment on Gao Ruoxi's brain opening, but he remembered the three rolls of parchment in his storage bag, and said meaningfully: "Maybe Chongbao was born..."

"So what? With your small body, do you really want to go to Qianqiu Valley to find out? Be careful, you really met a high-level soul pet, and there are not even bones left." Gao Ruoxi gave him a white look, " This is already very good, you don’t need to go any further, you can find suitable training partners in these places, just have fun!”

"That's true." Li Jin nodded in agreement, as for what he was thinking, only he himself knew.

Today was also a tiring day, so Li Jin sat down cross-legged and began to summarize the gains and losses of today's battle with the Bronze Waisted Tiger.Facing a soul pet like the Bronze Waisted Tiger with a relatively simple attack style, Li Jin can still handle it at present, and it is indeed a rare partner who is suitable for him at present.

Looking at the dark cave not far away, Li Jin smiled meaningfully.
