Chapter 32 Encountering a Big MonsterWhite pine grass is not a very rare medicinal herb, but it is also worth some money. There are so many plants here, it’s a good harvest. Su Chen carefully pulled them all up, brushed off the dirt on the roots, and packed the white pine grass intact. Continue to clear the snow around, and you will find many herbs hidden in the depression. Most of them were useless weeds, but Su Chen also found some medicinal herbs. Ruyi ginseng, Jiuhua bamboo, Crescent moon grass. These herbs are not the kind of extremely precious ones that can be sold at sky-high prices, but they are worth a lot and can be easily sold at a high price. I didn't expect that I would gain so much after only being out for half a day. Looking at the sky, it’s almost You time. In another quarter of an hour at most, it would be dark. Su Chen searched all the plants in the depression in front of him, and confirmed that there were no other medicinal herbs before he got up and walked back.
It's dark at night, which is very disadvantageous for me. Even with the [Monster Hunting Pioneer] to enhance the five senses, it is still much more dangerous than during the day. Su Chen had no plan to return to the defense line, as that was indeed a bit far away. I just need to get closer to the defense line. The range of activities of those monsters is actually subconsciously slightly away from the defense line. It was getting dark, and Su Chen stopped going back. Activate the [Skillful Hands] destiny and start setting traps around. These simple traps have no other meaning, they are just to give yourself some reminders. If a monster approaches at night, I can be reminded more easily. In half an hour, Su Chen had set up a circle of traps around him. I chose a big tree as my place to rest at night. With a little cover, it can be a good hiding place. At night, Su Chen activated the two destinies [Monster Hunting Pioneer] and [Perseverance]. I wanted to rest, but I found it difficult to fall asleep in this unfamiliar and dangerous environment. Always be vigilant, worried that monsters might attack. Fortunately, with the bonus of [Unyielding], I can recover a lot of strength by closing my eyes and resting. At night, a monster stepped into a trap. He screamed and ran away. It was almost noon, the sky gradually brightened, and Su Chen began his busy work for the day.
I was only busy for half a day yesterday and got eight medicinal herbs. If I work hard in this wilderness for half a month or a month, I can really earn a lot of resources. Thinking of this, Su Chen started to walk up the mountain again, looking for a depression. That kind of terrain is indeed more suitable for the growth of herbaceous plants. If they are located in a windy place, the plants may be frozen to death when the cold wind blows. After finding a target location, Su Chen ate a piece of flatbread and drank a sip of water. Recover some strength and move forward. Just before approaching the depression, Su Chen smelled a foul odor. This is the smell emanating from the monster. After activating the destiny of [Monster Hunting Pioneer], I became particularly sensitive to this smell. Su Chen carefully found a place to observe. I saw that in the depression, a dog demon had dug a shallow hole and used it as a nest. Judging from the dog demon's sturdy body, it is obvious that it has the strength of a great demon. Su Chen hesitated for a moment and picked up the long knife in his hand. Living in this kind of world, Su Chen does not have that inexplicable saintly heart. When monsters see humans, they will eat them without hesitation unless they cannot defeat them. And among their many foods, humans are their preferred choice. It is said that monsters eating humans will be more conducive to their advancement. Many big monsters become powerful after they become small monsters that eat humans. Regardless of whether these are true or not, Su Chen has seen too many people die at the hands of monsters. Killing one more monster will reduce the possibility of disasters for the people of Da Zhou. What's more, it occupies the depression, and only after you kill it yourself can you pick the medicinal herbs in the depression. The destiny of [Swordsman] and [Unyielding] is activated. I now have the strength of the middle stage of the eighth level of refining essence, coupled with the destiny of [Swordsman]. He also learned the Lin family's swordsmanship, which greatly improved his strength compared to before. Facing the big monster, Su Chen felt somewhat confident. But faith is faith, and we still need to be vigilant. There are differences in strength between the big monsters. The dog demon in front of him is not necessarily weaker than the tiger demon that day.
After all, after the great demon becomes intelligent, it will gradually improve and strengthen itself. With a knife in hand, Su Chen began to move around from behind. The range of detours is a bit larger. These monsters have a keen sense of smell and can easily smell something if you get a little closer. Before taking action, Su Chen hesitated for a moment. It is better to be safe and set some traps first to leave yourself a way out. After everything was ready, Su Chen moved forward again. When he was thirty feet away from the depression, he no longer hesitated. Suddenly, he leaped forward and slashed at the dog demon. "Lin Family Sword Technique". Cut off the mountain! A dull and oppressive aura pounced on the dog demon. But the dog demon seemed a little alert, and this move injured it but did not hit its vital parts. Then with a flash, the dog demon also stood up with a sharp weapon in his hand like a human. He licked the wound with his tongue. Su Chen looked at its open bloody mouth and sharp teeth, which were faintly emitting golden light. This dog demon actually has the potential to become a golden demon! Su Chen became more alert and without hesitation, he swung the long sword in his hand again. "Lin Family Swordsmanship" is not a swordsmanship that focuses on ferocity and strength. Instead, it sacrifices a little bit of toughness in exchange for a faster sword-drawing speed. With the blessing of the Swordsman's destiny, the Lin Family Swordsmanship has become even more powerful. The dog demon was originally a little angry. After hurting it, it wanted to take Su Chen's life. But after exchanging two moves with Su Chen, it began to retreat. There are also differences in the eighth level of refining essence. The same sword technique is used differently by Su Chen. The blade is sharp and the force is fierce. After just three or two moves, the dog demon already felt that Su Chen was not easy to deal with. When it first sensed Su Chen's breath, it probably thought it was easy to deal with. But Su Chen's strength foundation is much more stable than others. Under the training of "Xuantian Dao Xin Jue", he was promoted to the eighth level, and his basic foundation was much stronger than that of others.
These intelligent monsters value their lives much more than the little monsters. Unable to gain the upper hand, he immediately wanted to escape. But it didn't expect that the direction it fled was exactly the area where Su Chen set the trap. Even if it finds the trap, dodging and moving out of the way will only slow down its escape. In the panic, the dog demon did not notice the trap set by Su Chen. The sharpened wooden stakes could not pierce the monster's hard skin, but these holes combined with the sharp wooden stakes obviously slowed down its escape speed. After a slight delay, the blade in Su Chen's hand arrived again. Perhaps realizing that it was difficult to escape, the dog demon in front of him began to counterattack with all his might. Sharp teeth, sharp claws, and the knife all started to fight. (End of this chapter)
