Chapter 331 The Master Battles the Monster
Zhou Fuzi sensed the fluctuation of spiritual energy, stopped in his tracks, and dodged to the side. At the same time, he reached into his storage bag and a shield appeared beside him in an instant.
The wind blades struck the shield with a series of loud thuds.
Master Zhou secretly rejoiced that he had been prescient. Before setting off, Wen Yuanqian suggested that he choose some suitable magical artifacts from the pile of magical artifacts made by Wen Qiyuan. Based on his hunting experience, he chose this defensive shield.
This shield is made of solid materials, all of which Wen Qiyuan obtained from the mountains last time. He would occasionally make some magical artifacts for his family to choose from. Anyway, there were many people in his family, so they would eventually run out. Although the level of the magical artifacts was not high, they were still quite effective at resisting some small-scale attacks.
Having blocked the oncoming sneak attack, Master Zhou looked in the direction of the attack.
It turned out that two Swift Rat were hiding under the bushes that had just attracted its attention.
Unexpectedly, the ones who ambushed him were two gray and white Swift Rat.
The Swift Rat resembles a squirrel in appearance, but is one to two times larger than a typical squirrel.
Who would have thought that the adorable little squirrel would turn into a monster that ambushes and kills? This is the difference between a wild animal and a monster.
At this moment, the two gray and white squirrels revealed a fierce glint in their eyes and launched their second wave of attacks.
Seeing the wind blades coming again, Master Zhou raised his hand, and several sharp wind blades flew out with a whoosh.
The Gale Rat was at the second level of Qi Refining, while Master Zhou was at the late stage of the fourth level of Qi Refining. Their cultivation levels were very different, so Wenwen and her siblings just stood by and watched without offering any help. They trusted Master Zhou's strength.
In fact, Master Zhou thought so too. His cultivation level was so much higher than that of the Gale Rat, there was no reason why he couldn't defeat these two little monsters.
If the opponent is a large beast of level four or above, given his limited combat skills, he might be intimidated and need Wenwen and the others' help.
But these were two small squirrels, so Master Zhou felt no fear.
Seeing Master Zhou's wind blade technique coming, the Gale Rat suddenly pushed off with its hind legs and sprang up, actually avoiding Master Zhou's wind blade technique.
Master Zhou also used his defensive shield to block the Gale Rat's attack, and surprisingly, no one suffered any losses.
If it were a cultivator accustomed to hunting, they would end the battle swiftly without even blinking.
However, Master Zhou has always been a scholar with no combat experience and virtually no hunting experience. Therefore, Master Zhou still needs to accumulate practical combat experience.
Furthermore, the Gale Rats, as their name suggests, possess an innate ability of exceptional speed. Just now, Master Zhou's Wind Blade Technique was about to hit its target, but in the end, the Gale Rats dodged it.
Master Zhou gritted his teeth, secretly hating his poor combat skills. With a quick thought, he rapidly channeled his spiritual energy and unleashed a golden arrow technique.
Then, one after another, golden arrows rained down like arrows, densely showering the two gray-white demon rats.
In the midst of his busy schedule, Master Zhou even used an earthen wall technique to quickly surround the gray-white demon rat.
At this moment, it feels like catching a mouse in a jar. Imagine being surrounded by earthen walls and surrounded by golden arrows overhead. The monster mouse has nowhere to hide and will be shot and killed in an instant.
The battle came to an abrupt end.
Master Zhou wiped the sweat from his forehead and said self-deprecatingly, "Just two little demon rats, and I need three spells to kill them. I'm truly a useless scholar."
As soon as the teacher finished speaking, the siblings who had rushed over to offer their praise looked at each other, unsure of what to say.
However, it wouldn't be good not to say a few words.
Wenwen forced herself to praise him, saying, "Uncle, your ability to switch between spells so quickly and easily is really impressive."
The others followed suit.
Wen Chengbin: "That's right, my uncle-in-law reacted very quickly and swiftly when he first tried to dodge."
Wen Chengxi: "Uncle, my magic is not as proficient as yours."
Wen Chengfeng: "Uncle, I, I, if we encounter a demon rat later, let me try it out."
Master Zhou: "..."
Are my nephews here to comfort themselves?
Master Zhou was both amused and exasperated. He had only been talking to himself for a moment, so why had his nephews worried about him?
Master Zhou composed himself, turned around and said, "Alright, Uncle-in-law isn't a three-year-old child. He's not so fragile. Real combat is all about practice. In a little while, I'll practice more on any monsters below the third level. Hahaha, practice makes perfect!"
Master Zhou subdued the two demonic beasts, walked past a few bushes, and pointed to a patch of low trees, saying, "Come on, you guys help me collect these tea leaves."
"tea?"
Wenwen stepped forward first, asking, "Uncle, is this a tea tree? What variety is it?"
It's no wonder they didn't recognize it. How many young people are tea lovers? If you don't drink tea or study tea, where would you get the eye to recognize it?
Master Zhou laughed and said, "It's a tea tree, just a regular high-mountain tea. But since it grows here, it has some spiritual energy. Picking it and brewing it will only bring benefits. Stop talking nonsense and help us. We still need to find the monster after we finish picking it."
"Hehehe, that's true. Fighting monsters is the real task, picking tea leaves is just a bonus."
"Yes, yes, let's get started..."
The three Wencheng brothers worked together.
Swish!Swish!Swish!
Several wind blades slashed towards the tea tree branches.
Before Master Zhou could even shout, several thick tree branches snapped and fell to the ground.
Master Zhou was furious. "Stop! Stop! Stop!"
Who picks tea like this? Is this cutting down trees or not? These kids are just making things worse.
Wenwen looked at her brothers with schadenfreude. She had common sense about picking tea leaves. She knew that she should pick the tender leaves at the top and not cut the branches. Besides, she wasn't in a hurry.
Master Zhou took a deep breath and said helplessly, "Pick the tender leaves from the branches, don't cut the branches, don't cut them, do you understand? You little rascals, it breaks my heart to see you like this, sigh... silly boys, all you do is eat to grow taller..."
Master Zhou rambled on.
Wen Chengbin and his brothers were heartbroken...
Wenwen was very well-behaved. "Uncle, could you demonstrate for us? These tender leaves on the branches are too thin; I'm afraid I won't be able to pick them properly."
"Fine, watch carefully."
Master Zhou channeled his spiritual energy into his palm, and instantly, the spiritual energy in his palm transformed into more than a dozen thin threads. The threads slowly approached the tender buds at the top of the tea tree branches, wrapped around the buds, pinched them, and pulled them back to him.
A dozen or so silk threads wrapped around the tender bud and returned to Master Zhou, who then put them back into his storage bag.
"Did you understand? This is an entanglement spell. Have any of you practiced this spell?"
The brothers blushed instantly. They were so focused on practicing their highly offensive spells that they hadn't even had time to learn the other spells yet.
Upon seeing the expressions on these people's faces, Master Zhou understood perfectly.
On behalf of her brothers, Wenwen humbly asked, "Uncle, please teach us."
Afterwards, Master Zhou carefully explained how to refine spiritual energy into threads and how to entwine and break tea leaves, before finally letting everyone get busy with their own tasks.
Actually, none of them were very bad at it. After the teacher explained it clearly, the group practiced it more than ten times with their own understanding and gradually became familiar with it, which improved their speed a lot.
Spiritual energy threads shot out, wrapped around the tender leaves, snapped off, grabbed back, and were taken away.
Soon, dozens, even hundreds, of spiritual energy threads covered the tea trees, like tentacle monsters, completely surrounding the tea grove.
Half an hour later, all the tender buds were picked and taken away, and even a few small trees were dug up.
Just as Master Zhou was happily inspecting his harvest from the storage bag, several hissing sounds rang out in the distance.
