"What are you looking at!"

The young girl suddenly glared at Li Xingshan and said, "Why, haven't you seen the beauties from the city? Country bumpkin, look again, believe it or not, this girl will take off your eyeballs!"

"Xiao Wu, don't be so impulsive," Jingoro touched his chin and said with a smile, "My daughter is a bit irritable. Don't worry about it. Are there any rare monsters in the mountains and forests near you?"

Chapter 1217 The cunning guide

It seems that this guy has forgotten himself.

It's no wonder that these adventurers travel around all year round. They have experienced at least 180 small and medium-sized villages like this. Naturally, it is impossible to remember every one of them.

What's more, at this time, Li Xingshan has changed from the thin boy back then to the young man he is today. It is normal for Jingoro to forget himself.

This is fine, otherwise, it will inevitably cause some unnecessary trouble.

"Rare monsters?" Li Xingshan smiled and said, "It seems that you are monster hunters?"

Yokai hunters are a general term for adventurers whose main mission is to hunt monsters. In fact, it is precisely because of these monster hunters, Inazuma's humans and monsters, that they can barely maintain the harmony they have today. and contradictory situations.

"Are those two holes on your face for ventilation?" The girl named "Xiao Wu" said with disgust: "If you are not a monster hunter, who would come to such a useless place where birds do not lay eggs? "

The adjective "birds don't lay eggs" is naturally a bit exaggerated. Although this village is not considered rich, after so many years of development, it can be regarded as a small and prosperous village.

"My eyesight is stupid," Li Xingshan nodded without any sign of anger, "There are certainly rare monsters. It is said that someone recently... discovered a fox monster on the mountain."

"Fox demon?"

As soon as they heard these two words, several people's eyes went straight.

This simulator is different from reality. Here, monsters and humans are almost completely opposed to each other. Therefore, there are naturally no monster subordinates around General Raiden.

In reality, although humans and monsters also have certain conflicts, at least the fox monsters, ghosts and tengu tribes can survive normally in human society.

However, in this simulator, these three demon clans became prey with high bounties because of their relatively strong strength.

Especially the demon fox clan, because in this clan, there are basically handsome men and beautiful women. If they can be caught alive, the price of selling them will be more than the bounty.

However, the demon fox clan is very cunning, and it is difficult for ordinary people to find their traces, which further increases the difficulty of hunting. No wonder these four people were so excited when they heard these two words. As long as they completed this order, At least I can live happily for a few years.

"Yes," Li Xingshan felt secretly happy when he saw them taking the bait, but he still said calmly: "Of course, you also know that those fox demons are extremely cunning. It is not easy for you outsiders to find them. .”

"Little...little brother," Jingoro immediately pretended to be kind and said with a smile, "Look, is there any way to help us find the fox demon?"

"I sell some mountain and forest maps here," Li Xingshan pointed at the counter and said, "Wherever you want to go, just buy the map of the corresponding area."

"With these maps, can we find the fox demon?" Xiao Wu frowned.

"The guest was joking," Li Xingshan shook his head and said, "Haha, if I could find the fox demon with a map, wouldn't these maps of mine have been out of stock long ago?"

"Then what the hell are you talking about!" Xiao Wu grabbed Li Xingshan's collar and said, "Tell us, how can we find the fox demon?"

Li Xingshan said quickly: "Unless you find a guide who is willing to take you up the mountain and is very familiar with the terrain here, otherwise... I'm afraid it will be difficult."

"Huh, that's easy!" Xiao Wu smiled and said, "You, take us up the mountain! We can afford it no matter how much it costs."

"This is not a question of money," Li Xingshan said pitifully: "It's too dangerous to go up the mountain. Although I like money, my life is more important."

"Don't worry, little brother," Jingoro's eyes flashed with a sly gleam, and he smiled: "We have taken risks before and hired guides. If we encounter danger, we will protect the guides. In the past few years, , the guide we hired, let alone died, was not even injured."

After hearing this, the two people behind him looked at each other, with half-smiling expressions on their faces.

After Li Xingshan heard this, he naturally laughed secretly in his heart. But he still showed hesitation and said: "Really...really?"

"Of course," Jingoro stretched out a hand towards Li Xingshan and said with a smile: "My name is Jingoro. You are welcome to cooperate with us. If the fox demon is really found, among the five of us, I will give you 20%, even if we don't find it. , I will also pay you enough commission."

"Alas..." Li Xingshan pretended to be very hesitant, and finally nodded, saying: "In that case, I will believe you and make an agreement first. If you are in danger, you will not be left behind." me."

"That's necessary," Jingoro held Li Xingshan's hand and said with a smile, "How could I abandon my companions?"

"Well," Li Xingshan nodded and said, "Let's set out immediately after I pack some things. I don't want to spend the night in the mountains again."

So, this temporary guide agreement just hit it off.

Li Xingshan had naturally noticed Jingoro's evil intentions a long time ago, and he... was definitely not a good person.

Under the leadership of Li Xingshan, the group quickly entered the mountain forest.

The main terrain of Inazuma Island is mainly mountainous, and mountains and forests occupy most of the area. On the contrary, the area where humans live is much smaller. Over the years, humans have continued to expand their living areas.

This is why the conflict between humans and monsters will become more and more intense.

Over the years, Jingoro has never stopped living the life of an adventurer and has entered countless mountains and forests. Naturally, he has long forgotten that he has ever set foot in this area.

He is now in his forties. Although he has rich experience, his physical fitness is constantly declining. In addition, his talent is average. After so many years, he has not achieved anything famous. The time left is getting less and less. That's why he was particularly fond of this opportunity to hunt the demon fox.

In order to win their trust, the guide Li Xingshan was of course unambiguous. Along the way, even if he did not encounter a demon fox, he also encountered many other monsters.

Although this team of adventurers is not outstanding in strength, it can be regarded as rich in experience. Naturally, it is easy to deal with those monsters that are alone. In just half a day, the harvest from hunting these monsters is already worthwhile. This trip is over.

However, they were completely unprepared to stop before encountering the fox demon.

Chapter 1218 The lonely fox demon

"It's getting late."

Jingoro looked at the gradually darkening sky and said, "If we continue to search, the efficiency will only decrease. I think we should camp and rest first."

"Ah?" Li Xingshan pretended to be helpless and said, "It's very dangerous to spend the night in the mountains. Alas... I thought I could still go down the mountain before dark."

"Are you a man?" Xiao Wu glanced at Li Xingshan and said coldly: "You don't even dare to spend a night in the mountains. You are such a coward."

"This guy is still a young man after all," the crossbowman on the side laughed: "I'm afraid he hasn't even tasted the taste of a woman. It would be a pity if he died here."

"Then it's even more important to stay," the pharmacist also coaxed: "After making this money, why not go to Yoshiwara Street in Inazuma City, tsk tsk, and taste the joy of being a man! Haha!"

"It turns out he's still a baby," Xiao Wu sneered and said, "Forget it, this kind of country bumpkin can only find a country bumpkin wife in his life. I think the fish girl selling more than 200 kilograms at the entrance of the village is quite good. For you, it’s better not to go to Yoshiwara Street. After tasting high-end cuisine, how can you still eat the leftovers for the rest of your life?”

"You... what you're saying is," Li Xingshan pretended to smile submissively and said, "A simple man from a mountain village like me is naturally not worthy of a beautiful woman."

"It's good to know," Xiao Wu raised her eyebrows at Li Xingshan and said, "You are lucky enough to see such a beautiful woman like me in your life. You have been dreaming about me when you go to sleep. You look like you’re just playing with your own little water pipe? Haha!”

As soon as these words came out, everyone burst into laughter again, and Li Xingshan could only pretend to be embarrassed.

Although Xiao Wu is a woman, the dirty words in her mouth are no weaker than those of a man. Jingoro on the side saw this and had no intention of stopping him. Naturally, these adventurers who are trying to make ends meet cannot have many. elegant.

"Okay, go to bed quickly." The few of them chatted for a while and ate something. Then Jingoro said, "Let's start taking action early tomorrow morning."

"call out!"

At this moment, a pale pink shadow suddenly flashed past the bushes on the side.

Although it was very fast, Li Xingshan could still clearly see its appearance. It seemed to be a pink-haired... fox!

"It's a fox demon!"

The crossbowman immediately shouted, picked up the light crossbow beside him, and shot an arrow in the direction of the little fox's escape.

Although the reloading speed of long-range weapons like crossbows is slow, their accuracy and power are much better than ordinary bows and arrows. More importantly, using this thing does not require much practice, and the learning cost is much lower.

This is why many adventurers choose crossbows instead of bows and arrows. Sure enough, within a second of the crossbow arrow being shot, a sad low howl came from the bushes.

"Hit!" The crossbowman's face showed a look of surprise. He was just about to load the crossbow and shoot the second shot, but he saw Jingoro directly raised his big hand like a leaf fan and knocked down the light crossbow in his hand. , said angrily: "Idiot! What if I kill her? Even if she leaves scars, she can't be sold at a good price! Catch her alive!"

A living fox demon is worth more than a dead one. The crossbowman reacted immediately, and Xiao Wu even rushed out with a quick stride, saying: "I want to run away! It's not that easy!"

Listening to the sad howl just now, the little fox had probably been hit by an arrow, and his escape speed would naturally be greatly reduced.

Li Xingshan felt nervous in his heart. Naturally, he would not worry about a monster. However, if they caught the fox monster now, they would definitely return home, and his revenge plan would naturally be in vain.

Thinking of this, he immediately stood up. However, he did not follow the same path as those people. Instead, he took out a bottle of potion and shook it gently in front of his nose.

He took a deep breath, and then he couldn't help but sneeze hard, so hard that even snot and tears flowed out.

This potion is called "Strong Smell Potion". Just like its name, it will temporarily enhance the user's sense of smell. However, this thing is also very irritating. It feels like it is tearing the nasal mucosa. Everybody can bear it.

Li Xingshan wiped his nose and tears, then sniffed and walked in the other direction.

Sure enough, after walking no more than a hundred meters, he saw something in the bushes not far away that seemed to be shaking slightly.

Without saying a word, Li Xingshan took two steps forward and opened the bushes, even ignoring the thorns on the branches that pricked his palms.

Sure enough, I saw a small ball of powder huddled deep in the bushes. In addition to a crossbow arrow stuck in its calf, there were many scratches on its body.

Seeing the human in front of him, the little guy was obviously frightened and struggled to escape, but the pain on his leg made him unable to move, and he even couldn't help but let out a cry.

"Shh!" Li Xingshan quickly made a silent gesture, held the crossbow arrow, and whispered: "If you don't want to die, just bear with me!"

The little fox seemed to understand Li Xingshan's words and actually stopped struggling. Although Li Xingshan was not a serious doctor, he had served these adventurers for so many years and was still very proficient in simple medical techniques.

Those new crossbowmen often accidentally hit their companions with crossbow arrows. Such trivial matters as pulling out arrows are naturally commonplace for Li Xingshan.

Li Xingshan took care of the wound and then pulled out the crossbow arrow. Although the little fox was shaking all over, he still endured it and did not make a sound.

"Hey!" At this moment, Jingoro's voice came from not far away: "Have you found anything over there?"

"No!" Li Xingshan responded quickly and said, "I'll look for it again!"

"Grandma's fault!" Jingoro cursed: "That little beast can't run far!"

Li Xingshan took out the medicine bottle from his pocket, poured the medicine inside into his palm, carefully applied it a few times, and then applied it to the little fox's wound.

And the little fox seemed to finally understand that the human in front of him was trying to save him, so he stuck out his little tongue and licked the spot where Li Xingshan was stabbed by the thorns a few times.

"There is no need to show kindness to me," Li Xingshan said with a cold face, "I am saving you just for myself. Get out of here as far away as possible."

Chapter 1219 The overbearing evil woman

As if he really understood what Li Xingshan said, the little fox nodded towards him and then limped away.

Seeing that it looks so spiritual, it does not look like an ordinary beast. Maybe it is really the fox demon in the mountains.

However, most monsters like fox monsters are good at transformation, illusion and other spells. They are not very powerful and do not pose any threat to humans.

Powerful fox demons like the Yao Shenzi and Kitsune Palace are all beings who are only one in a million and have to practice for a long time before they can achieve anything.

Li Xingshan searched with them for more than an hour in a decent manner. Because the sky was already very dark and everyone was quite tired, he finally had no choice but to give up temporarily.

"hateful!"

Xiao Wu, who had a violent personality, punched the tree trunk next to her, shaking the small tree for a while. She said angrily: "That little beast was obviously hit by a crossbow arrow, how could he still run away? "

"Is it possible..." Li Xingshan said casually: "The shot went wrong?"

"How... how is it possible! My arrow definitely hit the target!" The crossbowman seemed to hesitate and said, "Didn't you hear the scream?"

"Hmph, with those two brushes of yours, it's normal for the shot to miss." Jingoro snorted coldly and said, "However, even if the shot didn't hit the vital point, it should still have rubbed the guy's flesh. It's just that the time is too long right now." Late, let’s look for its traces after dawn tomorrow!”

"That's fine," Li Xingshan agreed, "It's so late at night, if we provoke any monsters, we'll be in trouble."

"Spit!" After hearing this, Xiao Wu spat directly and said coldly: "You coward, even if there are monsters, I will take care of them all!"

"Shall we take a quick rest..." The pharmacist sighed and said, "This kind of physical work is not suitable for me at all. Just so I brought some medicine that can show blood stains. If I follow the blood stains tomorrow, I will definitely Then catch the little guy.”

For monster hunters, this kind of potion is naturally in stock. Not to mention the pharmacist, Li Xingshan also brought some with him.

"That's fine." As the captain, Jingoro naturally let him make the decision. He nodded and said, "Sleep!"

After hearing this, Li Xingshan breathed a sigh of relief. If this guy was determined to find him, the seriously injured little fox might not be able to escape from his grasp.

In order to get up as early as possible tomorrow, several people also hurriedly set up tents.

After all, let alone the numerous monsters in this mountain forest, even just some snakes, insects, rats, and ants would be enough for them to endure.

Li Xingshan had often served as a guide before, so he was naturally handy with things like setting up camp and settling accounts. He easily set up the tent and slept in it peacefully.

After all, I have to prepare to implement my plan tomorrow, so I naturally have to recharge my batteries today.

Who knows, not long after he closed his eyes, when he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps. Before he could react, a figure had already entered his tent.

Before Li Xingshan could exclaim, a bare foot had already stepped on his mouth, making him unable to cry out.

Judging from the size of the foot, it should be a woman. Needless to say, the only girl among these people is Shigoro's daughter Xiao Wu.

Although girls' feet generally don't smell very bad, this group of people had been walking in the mountains and forests for more than half a day, and in order to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes and leeches, they also wore thick clothing. boots.

In this remote mountainous area, there was no water to wash up before going to bed. Li Xingshan felt his face was wet and greasy, with a bit of unpleasant smell, but there was no sour smell at all.

It's a pity that Li Xingshan is not Quentin, otherwise he would have to appreciate it carefully despite all the bad words.

"Keep your voice down!"

As expected, it was Xiao Wu's extremely arrogant voice: "Did you hear that?"
