Chapter 47 Hatching of black-striped ants (please collect, recommend, and read)
This time, if Sun Xunmu hadn't intercepted two ninth-level Qi-training monks one-on-one at the expense of himself, there would have been even greater casualties.
From the ring battle at Yuquan Mountain to the interception by the monks in black, in all the battles, the fighting experience of Sun Mingzeng and the others seemed too immature.
Not to mention fighting against some old cultivators, even when competing with fellow cultivators, they often end up at a disadvantage.
"After returning to the family this time, I will apply to join the hunting team as soon as possible." Sun Mingsheng secretly made up his mind.
The family's hunting team is led by a ninth-level qi-training clan elder. It has been active deep in the Dongyan Mountains for many years, relying mainly on hunting first-order and middle-to-high-grade monsters.
In addition to exercising combat experience and improving combat effectiveness to make up for one's own shortcomings, one can also obtain extremely generous trophies, which will put one's own cultivation in a relatively rapid state of improvement.
There was no incident during the second half of the journey and he returned to the family base camp smoothly.
After experiencing the battles and dangers in the outside world, Sun Mingzeng and the others finally understood the preciousness of their family. Only here can they practice peace of mind without worrying about interference from the outside world.
After returning to his family, Sun Mingsheng immediately returned to the small courtyard where he lived. In the training room where he practiced daily, with a pained face, he used fifteen spiritual stones as the source of spiritual power to hatch thirty black-striped ants.
To control the black-striped ants, you only need to plant a ban on the ant king to easily control the entire black-striped ant colony.
Taking the thirty eggs of black-striped ants in front of us, under the same conditions, the first one to hatch must be the strongest black-striped ant, and it is also the first choice of the ant king.
"If everything goes well, these little guys will also be important partners on the road of spiritual practice for a long time in the future." Sun Mingsheng's heart is now full of expectations for the future.
Of course, it is impossible for all thirty black-striped ant eggs to hatch successfully. The dead eggs that have not successfully hatched are the first nutritional meal used to cultivate the ant king.
As long as the supply of spiritual power is sufficient, all the eggs can be hatched successfully in a matter of months.
Black-striped ants are omnivorous spiritual beasts that will accept all kinds of food and are relatively simple to raise. This was also an important factor in his original choice of trading.
After all, he is just an ordinary seventh-level qi-training monk, and even with all his strength, he can barely maintain what he needs for his own practice.
If cultivating a spiritual beast with a noble bloodline requires consuming special resources, wouldn't it really make things worse?
As a talisman seal master, various discarded semi-finished products in the process of drawing talismans will also be one of the foods that black striped ants use to fill their stomachs in the future.
On the second day after returning to the family, because he successfully defeated the ambushed rogue cultivator, Sun Mingsheng received a generous reward based on his merits, twenty-eight spiritual stones, a bottle of first-class high-grade Qi Condensation Pill, and five more first-class pills. Medium quality pine eggs.
"As a reward of five pine eggs, does the family plan to let me raise spirit beasts full-time?" Sun Mingsheng also had some doubts.
No matter what the specific use is in the future, Sun Mingsheng will never refuse the spiritual objects he gets.
The five grouse eggs were of a slightly lower grade and had no obvious effect on improving his cultivation. He also had no interest in raising grouse.
His Daoist heart has always been quite firm, and he only hatched black-striped ants to improve his combat effectiveness in the future and assist in hunting monster beasts.
"My nephew has met my fifth uncle. I haven't seen him for many days. How are you?" In the chore hall, Sun Mingsheng saluted and said hello.
Although his cultivation has surpassed that of Sun Xunzhao, who has been in charge of the sundry hall all year round, respect for the elders is absolutely indispensable due to the inheritance of family blood.
"I heard that Qiu Liguo performed well this time and brought glory to the family." For monks like Sun Xunzhao who have poor qualifications and have no hope of practicing in the future, but who put all their passion and energy above the family, the family The future is all they care about most.
"It's just a matter of winning with magic talismans. If it's just a comparison of combat prowess, my nephew is far inferior." In front of the family elders, Sun Mingsheng has always been quite humble and never dares to be complacent.
"I'm not proud of my achievements. Why did you come to the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall today?" Sun Xunzhao asked with great satisfaction.
"My nephew wants to apply to join the hunting team to gain practical experience by hunting monsters," Sun Mingsheng responded loudly.
The Miscellaneous Affairs Hall is responsible for the first review of almost all family affairs. Only those who successfully pass the review can enter the professional team for review.
"Do you know the risks of the hunting team?" Sun Xunzhao's expression became more serious.
The members of the hunting team are all composed of monks at or above the seventh level of Qi training, and are led by an old man from the ninth level of Qi training, who can be said to be the cream of the family.
But this does not mean safety. The members of the hunting team need to fight with the monsters, and all harvests are based on grabbing food from the beasts' mouths.
Every time they go to the depths of the Dongyan Mountains to hunt monsters, there will be casualties among members of the hunting team for as little as three to five months to as long as a year.
It can be said that the hunting team is one of the most important financial resources of the family, and it is also the team with the highest casualty rate among the clan members. It can be said to be a typical combination of pain and happiness.
In addition to hunting first-level monsters to earn training resources, another responsibility of the hunting team is to find traces of second-level monsters.
Once something is discovered, the four foundation-building elders in the family will also choose to hunt it personally.
"My nephew understands the risks of the hunting team, but it is not enough to practice hard behind closed doors under the protection of the family. Isn't our practice meant to change our fate against the will of heaven? Please ask my fifth uncle to make it happen." Sun Mingsheng said sincerely plead.
"Now that you have made up your mind, I will hand the list to the hunting team. The final decision on success or failure will be decided by the third brother." Sun Xunzhao agreed after weighing it.
"Thank you Uncle Wu for making it possible."
"Go back and wait for the news. There are still many things to deal with in this miscellaneous hall." Sun Xunzhao issued an order to expel guests.
Day and night alternated, time flew by, and more than half a month had passed. Sun Mingsheng had not waited for the news that he was allowed to join the hunting team, but he was the first to wait for the hatching of black-striped ants.
Sun Mingsheng was practicing in the early hours of the morning when he heard a crisp sound. When he looked back, he discovered that an ant with a black body and less than a quarter of the length of his little finger was devouring the egg shell. , it is the first black striped ant.
"The ant king has finally appeared," Sun Mingsheng's eyes lit up, he opened his mouth and spat out a mixture of essence, blood and mana, covering the head of the black-striped ant.
Waving his hands, a mysterious Bagua pattern appeared, decisively immersed in the body of the black-striped ant, planting the mark of the spiritual beast.
The black-striped ant had just been born and had no ability to resist. With the stability of the spiritual beast mark, Sun Mingsheng could clearly feel the emotions from the black-striped ant and a special mysterious and mysterious feeling. One person and one beast at this moment were like It is one and the same.
As time passed, other black-striped ant eggs began to hatch.
