บท 61: The Meat on the Chopping Board
"Wen Qingxue took the fur of the Evil Eye Fox and smiled as she nodded, saying, 'Sure, that'll be 300 contribution points!'
'Young sister, that won't work. If we don't sell the Evil Eye Fox fur, it will only be 280 contribution points. What do you say?'
'Alright, then 280 contribution points.'
According to the agreed-upon distribution ratio, 50% for Jiang Heng, 25% for Wen Qingxue, and 25% for Bu Hanyi. The Evil Eye Fox fur that Wen Qingxue kept was also calculated based on the youth's offer, and the remaining contribution points were distributed.
Once Wen Qingxue brought the Evil Eye Fox fur back home, the three of them hurriedly set off for the Western Luo Mountains once again.
This time, they decided to go deep inside.
Wen Qingxue still led the way, with Jiang Heng and Bu Hanyi closely following.
When they encountered prey, Wen Qingxue immediately engaged, while Jiang Heng and Bu Hanyi guarded from the sides.
After killing the prey, Bu Hanyi immediately handled it, and then Jiang Heng completed the process, packing it into bundles.
Their tasks were clear, and their actions were efficient.
As they continued on their way, they quickly entered the inner area of the Western Luo Mountains once again.
Roars of beasts could be heard in the distance, and the sounds of insects and birds were ever-present.
Not long after, Bu Hanyi raised her left hand, causing Jiang Heng and the others to stop.
Bu Hanyi leaped to the ground and carefully squatted in front of a crescent-shaped white flower.
Suddenly, a green snake shot out like lightning, heading straight for Bu Hanyi.
Jiang Heng instantly appeared by Bu Hanyi's side, grabbing the green snake and injecting a surge of powerful force into it.
The green snake went limp and died instantly.
Jiang Heng placed his bundle down with his left hand, and with his index and middle fingers in a sword-like gesture, he activated the Earth-ranked mastery, the 'Qiandays One Qi Sword.' Red qi formed a sharp blade at his fingertips, and he cut open the snake's body at a certain point, extracting the snake gall.
These actions happened in an instant.
Bu Hanyi gave Jiang Heng a grateful look and then turned back to carefully pick the white flowers.
'These are Moonview Flowers, third-tier spirit herbs and a major ingredient for the Grand Returning Pill. They're quite valuable.'
She took out a delicate wooden box, placed the Moonview Flowers inside, and then put them into Jiang Heng's bundle.
'Let's go! Be cautious from now on. If I'm a bit late to react, you could be in danger.'
Bu Hanyi nodded in agreement and accepted the lesson.
The three continued their journey.
Although they were in the inner area of the Western Luo Mountains, most of the beasts they encountered were first-tier, with second and third-tier beasts being more common. They hadn't encountered any fourth-tier or higher beasts yet.
Due to limited bundle space, they decided to collect only the fur of third-tier beasts as spoils of war, along with various rare spirit herbs.
After a day of cooperation, their coordination became increasingly seamless, as if they were a team that had worked together for years.
Whenever they encountered a beast, Bu Hanyi would quickly provide its general information. If it was second-tier, they would try to avoid it. If they couldn't, Wen Qingxue would engage immediately.
If it was third-tier, Jiang Heng would hand his bundle to Bu Hanyi and step in for the kill.
Gradually, the spoils of war in their bundles grew richer.
'Wait!'
Jiang Heng instantly stopped and signaled for the others to do the same. He listened carefully and raised his hand to indicate for the others to stop as well.
They all listened carefully and faintly heard the sounds of battle and human shouting.
'Someone?'
Bu Hanyi used her gaze to inquire of Jiang Heng.
Jiang Heng nodded and whispered, 'Let's go and see.'
The three of them gathered together, slowed their pace, and moved cautiously in the direction of the sounds.
In this world, order couldn't be maintained in the primitive forest."
So, encountering humans in the Western Luo Mountains might not necessarily be a good thing for those with weaker strength.
The hard-earned spoils of hunting might become the catalyst for one's own demise.
After all, compared to the significant risks of searching and hunting everywhere, killing a human could easily snatch away all their hard-earned spoils.
For the strong, this was indeed a considerable temptation.
Therefore, Jiang Heng had to be cautious.
After all, he didn't consider himself invincible, especially considering that the humans daring to venture deep into the Western Luo Mountains were undoubtedly top-notch experts.
The Innate Realm and Spirit Sea Realm were normal for them.
Even the higher Myriad Manifestations Realm was not impossible.
When that time came, if he found the opponent's strength to be overwhelmingly powerful, he would retreat immediately.
But if the opponent's strength was not as formidable as he imagined, he wouldn't hold back.
After all, the Western Luo Mountains were so vast that, aside from the outer regions near the Great Luo Sect, where many Great Luo Sect disciples roamed, encountering anyone was possible in other areas.
As they got closer, the thunderous sounds of battle became clearer.
The three of them could now see the ongoing battle.
They saw a man who appeared to be in his thirties engaged in a fierce battle with a large ape-like savage beast.
The man's body moved continuously, occasionally unleashing a sharp orange sword aura. When the giant ape dodged, the sword aura flew into the forest, consecutively cutting down several towering trees.
A series of deafening sounds followed.
Dust filled the air, and waves of energy surged.
The battle was exceptionally intense.
Releasing true qi and shooting sword aura were techniques of experts at the Innate Realm or higher, and the red true qi was also a sign of the Innate Realm.
"That's an Innate Realm expert."
"That giant ape is the Crimson Flame Odd-Eyed Ape, even among third-tier savage beasts, it's considered relatively powerful."
Bu Hanyi's gaze turned to Jiang Heng, awaiting his reaction.
She could certainly discern Jiang Heng's thoughts.
Encountering humans in the Western Luo Mountains basically meant harboring hostility.
Even if they didn't have hostility, they would be concerned about the other party's intentions.
In such a state of heightened vigilance, nobody would actively approach others.
So, either they would keep their distance or, if they approached, it meant they had ill intentions.
"As long as the other party is still in the Innate Realm, I'm confident. Let's wait for his battle to end."
Jiang Heng smiled calmly and focused on watching the battle.
Bu Hanyi breathed a sigh of relief and also remained quiet.
She wasn't a person obsessed with morals. In the Western Luo Mountains, snatching the spoils of others was a well-known unwritten rule.
Anyone with slightly matured thinking, from the moment they entered the mountains for hunting, would be mentally prepared for this.
Not long after, under the outbreak of the Innate Realm expert, the Crimson Flame Odd-Eyed Ape was beheaded in a single sword strike, and its viscous blood gushed out instantly.
Its several meters high body fell with a rumble!
The Innate Realm expert turned his gaze toward the direction of Jiang Heng and his group.
Clearly, the commotion caused by the arrival of the three hadn't escaped his hearing.
"Good sir, we are just passing through this area and mean no harm. Please don't misunderstand, we'll leave right away."
Jiang Heng emerged from the concealment of the forest, wearing a friendly smile.
He carried a bag full of spoils, indicating he had collected quite a bit.
The young man's gaze shifted, then he looked at the two young girls who had walked out behind Jiang Heng.
They appeared to have a low level of cultivation and limited experience in the martial world. It was like serving meat on a platter.
The young man secretly rejoiced in his heart.
