Chapter 141: Hundred-year-old wire snake
Wang Zhuo led a group of people into Mengshan and introduced their teammates to each other.

The two cultivators in green robes were named Qin Xiu, who had reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, and Meng Yang, who had reached the tenth level of Qi Refining.

These two are also veteran monks who often participate in hunting animals and are quite powerful.

When Mo Juren introduced his own cultivation level, which was only the seventh level of Qi Refining, the two of them didn't say anything, but there was a hint of doubt in their eyes.

Wang Zhuo saw all of this and dispelled their doubts with just one sentence.
"Daoyou Zhang Tie is proficient in medicine and has some unique methods of treating external injuries."

Qin and Meng suddenly realized what was going on.

After all, they have been hunting animals in Mount Meng for many years and are used to living on the edge of a knife.

A monk who understands medicine naturally has a deep understanding of their significance.

The third brother Zhang Xing also spoke from his own experience,

"The foot injury I suffered a while ago was cured thanks to Daoist Fellow Zhang. With just one visit, both the old and new injuries were healed at the same time."

"Fellow Daoist Zhang's medical skills are unprecedented in my life! Even Taoist Master Guangkun from Tainanfang City is inferior to him... Hehehe"

Being praised so highly by Zhang Xing implies that Mo Juren's medical skills are comparable to those of Taoist Master Guangkun who is in the foundation-building stage.

The two were shocked, but immediately their attitude towards Mo Juren became more friendly.

Even Hu Pinggu, after knowing this, became more enthusiastic towards this "Brother Zhang".

It made Mo Juren seem like the group's favorite, and everyone felt flattered.

Next, Wang Zhuo began to introduce the mission and objectives of this trip.

About thirty miles south of Mangrove Valley, you will come across a small lake called Jishuitan, which is the water source for many nearby monsters.

If you just want to hunt ordinary monsters, waiting around this pool of water is also a good choice.

However, there is also the possibility of encountering a level 2 or even level 3 or higher monster, so this is a place where danger and opportunity coexist.

It was at this place that the Five Friends of Mengshan went hunting for monsters last time, and discovered a rare second-order, century-old wire snake!
The hundred-year-old iron wire snake can be said to be full of treasures. In addition to the powerful spiritual power of the second-level beast meat, the snake's blood and snake gall are both spiritual materials for alchemy.

The most valuable part is its scales, which are very hard and can be made into good defensive weapons and armor.

This kind of materials and magical tools are in short supply among beast hunting monks.

Moreover, this snake is in the egg-laying period and is likely to be weak, which is the best time to hunt it.

If we add the eggs laid by the second-level monsters, the harvest this time will be very rich.

However, the last time they came, they were not prepared to deal with the second-level monster, so they let it slip away.

At that time, the five friends of Mengshan could only track the wire snake and find its nest.

It was a small hill not far from Jishuitan, and the terrain was not particularly dangerous.

But the problem is that at the foot of the hill, there is a large and densely packed group of iron-toothed birds living there.

This iron-toothed bird is a first-level bird monster with a sharp beak and hard claws.

It was not difficult to deal with them, but there were too many of them. According to the calculations of the Five Friends of Mengshan, if they forced their way through the encirclement of these iron-toothed birds, they would inevitably be attacked fiercely.

If everyone is injured, even if they rush to the top of the mountain, they probably won't have the strength to deal with the century-old wire snake.

After all, a second-order monster is comparable to a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage in some aspects, and it takes five or six cultivators in the late Qi Refining stage in their prime to fight it.

So after the five friends from Mengshan returned with their lives, this time when they went out hunting again, they chose the spiny bear, which was also of the second level but slightly less valuable, and put the hundred-year-old wire snake aside and did not consider it again.

It was not until he met the medical practitioner Mo Juren in Mangrove Valley that he felt it was a godsend opportunity.

Judging from the time, this century-old wire snake should have just laid eggs not long ago, and it is probably at its weakest!
Mo Juren finally understood this time. Wang Zhuo's plan was to force his way through the encirclement of the Iron-toothed Birds even at the risk of getting injured.

Then, with the help of this medical monk, he helped everyone heal their injuries and restore their combat effectiveness in a short period of time.

Then they can rush forward together, concentrate their strength and take down this century-old wire snake in one go.

Treating injuries was naturally no problem for Mo Juren, and he also had a lot of Jin's golden wound medicine and the more effective Huilong Pill in his storage bag.

Although his cultivation level is the lowest, if he mainly does medical assistance, then as long as he pays attention to preserving his strength, this task will be easy for him.

After understanding the goal of this trip and their respective tasks, no one had any objections.

The group walked quickly, and under the leadership of Wang Zhuo, who was comparable to a senior hunter in the secular world, they safely crossed the pond and came to the bottom of the nest of the century-old wire snake.

The top of this hill looks like a giant ant nest, full of red granular soil that looks like it was turned out from the ground, and there is no grass on the top of the hill.

Below the hill is a large forest that surrounds the foot of the hill.

As expected, there were densely packed bird nests living on the trees, and a large number of strange birds flew up and down among the trees, humming and chirping non-stop.

Wang Zhuo quickly divided the group of ten people into three small teams, preparing to rush through the iron-toothed bird forest one by one.

Wang Zhuo, Qin and Meng were at the front, while Hu Pinggu and his wife, Xie Hong and Zhao Han were in the middle.

Mo Juren formed a team with Zhang Xing, the third brother of the Five Friends of Mengshan, and his youngest sister, and they were the last to pass.

Zhang Xing knew that Mo Juren had never participated in hunting animals, so he explained some rules to him.
"When we enter the woods, my brother and his men will rush to the front and will definitely use defensive magic tools first."

"The four people in the middle will be the main attackers, responsible for dispersing the monsters attacking from both sides; we only need to follow closely, cut off the rear, and pick up the prey killed in front."

"Generally speaking, it is best to use magic tools and spells to attack. In an emergency, you can also use talismans, etc."

"Remember these consumable weapons. They will be counted as losses at the end of the mission and will be returned to you in an optimized way from the spoils of war."

Mo Juren nodded to show that he understood.

The ultimate goal of this hunting trip is to earn spirit stones, so we must consider saving resource consumption and maximizing the final profit.

If someone bought a large number of talismans and threw them out at once, they would be able to kill anyone who stood in their way, and kill any beast that stood in their way.

But if the harvest is not enough to cover the cost of the talisman, then it would be like everyone’s work was in vain.

Therefore, after many hunts, these rules that everyone abides by will gradually be formed.
