Chapter 9 The Strong Prey on the Weak

  It's also true that Chen Taitzong reacted, Tie Jia Hu likes to eat foods rich in metal, this red valley is rich in iron elements, and Lei Feng Lu grows here, its body must have a lot of iron.

  After understanding this truth, he took out the corpse of the Thunder Deer, pondered for a moment, cut off a front leg and threw it more than 100 meters away.

  Those two iron-armored tigers saw him stop in his tracks, first retreating, then seeing the Thunder Deer, they couldn't help but jump up and try to pounce, waiting for the deer's legs to fly out. The two tigers took off with a burst of speed, chasing after it, and soon the sound of crunching and munching filled the air.

  "This skill, the woman also chased after him, she said with a smile, 'One look at you and it's clear you don't understand anything, your family really trusts you to come out.'"

  "Are you kidding me? I'm just trying them out!" Chen Taizhong was a man who wouldn't back down, and he immediately counterattacked.

  He was quite reluctant to throw away such a large deer leg, even if it was the front leg. It could be sold for four or five liang, which would be enough for him to eat for two days.

  However, his mood was also more complicated. What the woman said earlier actually made sense. If that stag wasn't being held back by the little deer and refused to leave, he really couldn't get a good shot - an iron pot can prevent lightning, but it can't make his speed faster.

  "The deer's liver is sold to me, I'll give ten spirits," the woman said.

  Her face isn't bad-looking, just a bit masculine, but her figure is thin, with a slightly protruding butt and two small bulges on her chest that are only slightly larger than mosquito bites. At first glance, it's easy to overlook her gender.

  But Chen Taizhong didn't know how to appreciate women either, he just raised an eyebrow curiously, "Liver... what's it for?"

  "This... you don't need to know," the woman refused to tell him.

  In fact, she and her own brother came to the riverbank to catch a golden thread snake fish. Although this fish is only a fourth-level wild beast, it has a hint of ancient dragon blood in its body, which is perfect for impacting boundaries.

  However, because of this, the Golden Thread Snake Fish is extremely rare, even though it's only a fourth-level wild beast. After her brother and sister found out that there was a Golden Thread Snake Fish here, they didn't tell anyone.

  The Golden Thread Snakefish has the blood of a Jiaolong, and it is particularly fond of food that is related to thunder and lightning. The two of them caught that small deer just to use it as bait to catch the fish - none other than the young of the Thunderclap Deer, which was only used as bait.

  However, the adult Thunder Deer's flesh and blood would be more to Golden Thread Snakefish's liking; they just couldn't catch them - as soon as they tried, the deer would run away. It was better to catch some young deer instead, it was more practical that way.

  However, when they saw Chen Taizhong kill a adult male deer, they were no longer calm, and they didn't dare to rob - fearing the middle-aged man's revenge. The blood of the adult male deer was vigorous, and it was more suitable for luring Jin Xian fish.

  The blood of the deer is in two places: one is in the antlers and the other is in the liver - the liver stores blood, and the spleen governs blood.

  They didn't expect to buy the deer velvet, but buying the liver was also good.

  Chen Taizhong didn't know these things, he thought for a moment, the Ten Spirits selling their livers wasn't a bad deal either - the other party might have some other use for them, but most people didn't know that this use was also very limited.

  He was about to ask another question, "You seem to be able to resist the attack of the Thunderbolt Magic?"

  "I have a family heirloom, an inner armor against lightning," the woman replied proudly, with an air of nobility that seemed to suggest her ancestors had also been wealthy. However, in the next moment, she furrowed her brow and let out a soft sigh, "It was my brother who made me wear it, otherwise, he would have been even more formidable than I am."

  The brother and sister are deeply affectionate, Chen Tai Zhong asked two more questions, feeling that the siblings were also quite pitiful, so he threw down Lei Tong Lu's liver and took ten Ling to turn around and leave.

  It was those two iron-armored tigers that discovered another liver on the ground over here, and they couldn't help but take a few tentative steps forward, with a drooling expression.

  But the strength of these two siblings was beyond their reach. With a slight release of their aura, the two iron-armored tigers turned and left - one was a fifth-level wandering immortal, and the other was as high as sixth-level.

  "Consider yourselves lucky," said the fifth-grade sister with a cold hum.

  It's two against two, and neither side has a sure win. But the Golden Line Snake Fish concerns whether her brother can advance to level seven - level seven is just the high-level Youxian. If they really can't scare them off, the siblings can only fight hard.

  Fortunately, Tie Jia Hu had a deer leg, and didn't have to walk on a dark road.

  "Still got a thief's heart," the sixth-level brother hummed, but the next moment, he furrowed his brow, "Strange, how could that second-level kid force these two guys back?"

  At first, he thought it was just these two guys being cowardly, but now it seems that these two Iron Armored Tigers don't even care about their own siblings, and for a moment, he is greatly astonished.

  "'Others even dare to hang the storage pouch of the Zhou family on their waist,' said the sister, shaking her head in puzzlement. 'Brother, what's his background? He doesn't even have a storage pouch, yet he's not afraid of offending the Zhou family.'"

  "How do you know he doesn't have a storage bag? Maybe he's hiding it in his chest," said the older brother, shaking his head and walking towards the riverbank. "Alright, let's not talk about him anymore, set up the formation and get ready to catch some fish..."

  Chen Taizhong indeed hid the storage bag in his bosom, but what he hid was the one he had snatched.

  On the way back, he caught another flame rabbit. As they approached Qing Shi City, he stuffed the storage bag into his bosom. This thing was loot, and there was no way to use it with a clear conscience.

  Then he thought for a moment, cut off the front leg of a Thunderhoof Deer and slung it over his shoulder - just in case he encountered bandits, having this front leg would make them less likely to think that he had a storage bag on him.

  It's not that they didn't say, but things under the sky are just so coincidental. He carried the deer leg and walked less than ten miles when four or five young men came out of the woods by the road. The two parties exchanged a glance, and both were taken aback - familiar faces!

  These few young men were the ones who had snatched the Lychee fruit from Mr. Chen.

  "Hah! It's you!" The guy with the scar on his forehead sneered and rushed over, kicking him. "You managed to get away last time, but this time let's see where you can run!"

  "It's almost time, last time you guys already snatched three Lixiang fruits from me," Chen Taizhong kicked the ground hard and flew out a great distance, coldly staring at the young men in front of him, "How about bullying people?"

  "We're bullying you just to give you face," a pale-faced youth spoke up, his voice somewhat gloomy. "If you get angry, we'll finish you off with one knife."

  "Aren't you afraid of the law?" Chen Taizhong took a deep breath and spoke in a low voice.

  "We have the law of the Eastern Four Small here," he raised his head and sneered, "Be obedient, let's have some fun, maybe if I'm in a good mood, I'll spare your little life..."

  He muttered to himself there, but Chen Taizhong suddenly had an inexplicable urge, without thinking, he kicked both feet and his body rushed to the side front.

  However, his reaction was still a bit slow. Almost at the same time, the mud under his feet churned violently, and several vines burst out of the ground, wrapping around him.

  Chen Taizhong's left foot was a little slow to leave the ground and was wrapped around his calf by a vine. He let out a loud cry, swung the deer leg in his hand, and slammed it down fiercely, "Roll!"

  Teng Lang unexpectedly persisted, but this time he also exerted his utmost effort in releasing the immortal power, and as a result, the deer leg slipped out of his hand.

  The next moment, he felt the rattan under him stiffen for an instant, and taking advantage of this momentary opportunity, he pulled out his left foot and ran away without looking back.

  "Hmph, this guy is really clever," he raised his head and clicked his tongue in surprise, looking at the pale-faced young man, "Zhù Lǎosān, your wood-elemental magic isn't as powerful as you said it was."

  "You fart," Zuo Lao San replied gloomily, then walked forward, took a look at the fallen deer leg, and hummed in anger, "Thunder Deer... indeed the power of thunder."

  "Really?" Some people also came over to watch, and Lei could be said to be the nemesis of most spells. Wood-based spells that encountered Lei would also be charred black by lightning.

  Lei Ting Lu is a desolate beast that everyone is familiar with and can easily recognize. When a person's spiritual power is infused into the body of a desolate beast, they can borrow some of its attributes, which sometimes happens.

  But everyone still can't accept it, "This guy is a second-level Youxian, and he can kill the Thunder Deer?"

  These little guys have bullied people too many times, so no one remembers that this second-level Youxian was still first-level a few days ago.

  "It's just a deer leg," he said with a cold smile, "If it was really him who killed it, shouldn't he be carrying the antlers?"

  "Next time we see this guy, let's surround him first," said a sturdy young man who was the leader of the group. The next moment, a talisman appeared in his hand, "If not, use the talisman to get rid of him."

  "Can it be used in the city as well?" He raised his head and asked in surprise.

  "I'm telling you to go to him!" The sturdy young man glared at him.

  Chen Taizhong didn't know about their discussion, he ran out quickly for a long time, feeling that there was no one behind him, and then found a thicket, took out a set of clothes from the Xumi ring, and changed into his current attire.

  As for appearance, he didn't want to change it anymore. This thing actually has no significance. The identity jade card is used to recognize aura - when encountering a powerful person, changing one's appearance would be useless anyway.

  He just hoped that no one would recognize him at a glance, and that was all.

  After showing his identity token, he swaggered into the city. With the afternoon almost over, he hastened to the main courtyard to hand in his task and received 250 spiritual energy points.

  The staff thought the quality of this deer velvet was good, and even took the initiative to ask him if he had any interest in taking another order. If it's of the same quality, the price can be raised to 270 ling.

  Chen Taizhong was a bit strange, and after asking again, it turned out that this was the staff's own list - this household also had a Thunder-type cultivator, who was overjoyed to see the prey and privately traded with him, without even publishing a task.

  "I plan to settle down for a while and cultivate first," he rejected the request, this second-level wandering immortal was really too low, he planned to make a good breakthrough in the near future, at least to break through to the fourth level of wandering immortal, so as not to be bullied by others at will.

  "This quest is valid for three months," the staff member said with a smile, "once you reach level 3 in Journey to Immortality, this quest will be easier, but I won't increase the reward either."
