Crazy Hunting

  Half a month later, the most dangerous central area of the Hanspring Mountains.

  Tall trees stretch towards the sky, dense foliage blocks out the sun.

  This is a dense and ancient forest, with an eerie silence all around, seemingly peaceful but with hidden dangers lurking everywhere.

  In the forest, two strange figures, extremely fast, from a distance only a purple and white light can be seen, flashing by.

  Suddenly——

  A white light shadow suddenly stopped, and a figure flashed to a stop on top of an ancient tree that five people could encircle with their arms. Behind him, a purple light shadow also came to a stop beside him.

  "What an incredibly powerful aura!"

  Almost at the same time, the white figure and the purple figure spoke together, as if they had discussed it beforehand, with the same tone and expression.

  "Iron rank high-grade!"

  "Forty-seven already!"

  As they spoke again, it seemed as if they were on the same wavelength, almost to the point of being able to read each other's minds.

  "Wrong! It's forty-eight!" The purple figure smiled slyly.

  "There are 48 of them? But today is only the 15th day?" The white figure was slightly surprised and asked the purple figure, "Zhong Xiaojie, you didn't miscalculate, did you?"

  "Kidding me? How could I have miscalculated! Counting this one, that makes forty-eight high-grade metal beasts of the Iron rank. Don't believe me? Check our backpacks and add them up - we absolutely have forty-seven high-grade iron pellets!"

  "How dare you question my memory!" A girl in a purple long dress stared at a boy in white clothes with her bright eyes wide open, having a different flavor.

  "Who has... who has!" The young man in white hastily denied it.

  "Hmph! You're quite sensible!" The purple-robed girl hummed softly, gazing at the nearby dense forest, and said in a low voice: "It's coming soon, be careful to hide!"

  "Ah! Good!" The white-clad youth nodded, his body leaped into the air, transforming into a white shadow that shot straight towards the giant tree where five people could encircle its trunk. He landed on the trunk, hiding his body, while the purple-robed girl also vanished from her original spot at the same time.

  The forest was as silent as before, with no sound of breathing, only the rustling of leaves blown by the wind.

  A moment later, a fierce rustling sound suddenly came from the dense forest in front, and within a breath, a snow-white iron wolf rushed out of the forest. The wolf's jet-black eyes scanned its surroundings, and after finding no danger, it slowed down its pace and walked out of the forest, with a slow spit of a snow-white spiritual grass from its mouth.

  "Spirit Grass Silver Moon!"

  "Damned Iron Wolf!"

  Just as the snow-white Iron Wolf appeared, two places in the dense forest simultaneously emitted two faint and untraceable sounds. Suddenly, "swish!" A white light suddenly fell from mid-air, with a red glow flashing in hand, a sharp knife light directly slashing towards the waist of the all-snowy Iron Wolf.

  Just as the white-clad young man made his move, the purple-robed girl's figure flashed at the same time, and a purple wooden zither appeared in her hand, its strings shimmering like water.

  "Ahh!"

  Snow-white Iron Wolf was extremely vigilant, and as soon as he saw the white light descending from the sky, he let out a loud roar. His one-zhang-long body suddenly retreated, trying to avoid the slash that broke through the air.

  But at the same time, a loud "clang" rang out, and an invisible wave of air, like a waterfall crashing down from a thousand-meter-high peak, swept through, causing some trees to shatter and turn into powder.

  "Boom!"

  A loud crash, the invisible air waves that popped out of the purple wooden piano heavily bombarded the snow-white iron wolf's body, instantly blasting the iron wolf who had nowhere to hide and no way to retreat flying away, heavily smashing into an ancient tree that pierced the sky.

  "Ugggh..." The Iron Wolf let out a mournful howl, kicked its four limbs, and died under the ancient tree.

  "Haha, your military strategy has improved again! Impressive, impressive!" A white shadow flashed by, and a young man in white clothes stopped in front of the all-white Iron Wolf.

  "You're not bad either! Your swordsmanship has improved a lot!" The purple-robed girl smiled lightly, and a hint of cunning flashed in her bright eyes as she said to the white-robed boy: "To be honest, Li Ke, I'm more and more suspicious that you are actually a descendant of the Li family, the ruler of the ancient divine sword clan!"

  "Ah!" The young man in white nodded as if he had expected it, and looked at the purple-robed girl saying: "I'm increasingly suspicious that you're actually a descendant of the ancient Xuanqin Zhongli family, one of the top divine weapon clans!"

  "What a pity I'm not surnamed Zhongli!" The purple-robed girl wrinkled her delicate nose and looked at him with disdain.

  "What a pity I'm not either!"

  The young man in white clothes smiled brightly.

  These two naturally joined forces to charge into the central area of the Cold Spring Mountains, Li Ke and Zhong Qing. In half a month's time, relying on their mysterious and unpredictable movements, plus their terrifying sensory abilities, they were always able to detect the presence of Metal Beasts one step ahead. Therefore, in this half-month period, they had slain a total of forty-eight Iron-ranked High-tier Metal Beasts.

  Li Ke advanced forward, his Flying Dagger directly tearing open the softest part of Tie Lang's abdomen, and from inside he took out a snow-white Iron Dan. Then, he broke open the most valuable Iron Bone on Tie Lang's body and put it into his backpack.

  "Wow! I've struck it rich! This Silver Moon actually has a thousand-year-old vintage, reaching the top grade of first-class goods, worth 50,000 taels!" Li Ke exclaimed excitedly beside him, as Zhong Qing held the silver spiritual grass spat out by the Iron Wolf's mouth.

  Li Ke stood up and looked at Zhong Qing's silver-colored spiritual grass in his hand, and also smiled.

  A high-ranking iron-level metal beast is worth 10,000 taels of white silver, while a first-class superior spiritual grass is worth 50,000 taels. Li Ke did not expect that killing an iron-level high-ranking Iron Wolf would unexpectedly yield a first-class superior Spiritual Grass Silver Moon.

  In just one short moment, they earned sixty thousand taels of white silver.

  "Hehe, including the inner elixir of the Iron Wolf and the Lingcao Silver Moon, we made a total of 630,000 taels of white silver in these fifteen days! And that's not counting the first-class lower-grade and middle-grade spiritual herbs we got!"

  Zhong Qing's face was filled with emotion.

  When Li Ke heard the words of Zhong Qing, he was also deeply moved. In just half a month's time, he had earned 630,000 taels of white silver, a speed that was truly frightening to speak of.

  To know that a fifth-grade sect's annual net profit is only one million two silver, but Li Ke and Zhong Qing relied on their strong advantages to earn more than half of the sect's annual income in just half a month.

  It's actually not that easy to hunt and kill Metal Beasts, if it were other top-notch warriors from the Refining Department or the Martial Dao Department, they wouldn't be able to slay so many high-level Iron-tier Metal Beasts.

  But Li Ke and Zhong Qing were different, they both had special identities, their cultivation methods were advanced, their military tactics were extraordinary, and as their powers increased, their souls' perception became extremely sensitive, allowing them to detect the existence of Metal Beasts in advance, making it convenient for them to set up ambushes and wait for an opportunity.

  Although Li Ke's flying knife soul power was a bit weaker, his cultivation method and body technique made up for the weakness of the flying knife soul. Moreover, Zhong Qing had an actual weapon - the high-quality mortal soldier, the Xuan Yin wooden piano, which greatly increased their overall strength, allowing them to easily annihilate the iron-level high-ranking metal beast without any effort.

  "Want to continue?" Zhong Qing narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile.

  "Who wouldn't want to make easy money!" Li Ke burst out laughing.
