Chapter 3

"Yes, it's six Liang. My uncle said that there is a big family in Kangyun county. Recently, the demand for cool withered grass has increased greatly. The medicine shops in Kangyun county are almost out of stock. The price has soared all the way. The purchase price in the city has reached eight Liang."

Guo ye said, "my uncle has been busy in various villages recently, just to make more cool withered grass and sell it to the big family."

"So it is..."

Xu Ning nodded rather stupidly, but his mind had been thinking about picking cool withered grass.

"You can pay more attention to cool withered grass when picking herbs recently. It's valuable now."

Guo ye put three liang of silver in Xu Ning's hand and reminded him.

"Thank you."

Xu Ning took the silver, exchanged greetings and went straight out.

Without much hesitation, he went back to his house, took a firewood knife, sorted out his equipment, and rushed to Yunze mountain.

Xu Ning should take advantage of this opportunity to make a sum of money first to alleviate the current economic pressure.

……

For more than half an hour, Xu Ning came to Yunze mountain again.

In fact, Yunze mountain is not a mountain, but a continuous mountain range.

In the meantime, the mountains are steep, there are many beasts, and even the legendary monster is a very dangerous place.

But there are also a lot of precious resources, so several nearby Zhuangzi and people in the village are willing to drill into it, which can be regarded as feeding one party.

"Although your strength has improved, you still have to be careful..."

Xu Ning's destination is relatively clear, so his pace is not slow.

But at the same time, he held the firewood knife in his hand and kept observing the movement around him.

"Here we are!"

Xu Ning followed the route in his memory and found the place full of cool withered grass.

It was a rather steep mountain. At a glance, it was a large area of cool withered grass.

The cool withered grass swings with the breeze. Looking at it from a distance, it is lined with some bleak autumn.

But in Xu Ning's eyes at this time, it was all money.

"Fortunately, this cool withered grass has not been found yet..."

At this time, Xu Ning was dozens of meters away from the cool withered grass, but he didn't go there immediately.

This is the boundary between the inner ring and the outer ring of Yunze mountain.

There are few wild animals in the outer circle, which is safer. In the inner circle, there are not only many fierce animals, but also poisonous insects and weeds everywhere.

Xu Ning was very cautious. He climbed a tree nearby and looked around. He found no sign of danger.

"Finish picking quickly, and then leave quickly..."

Xu Ning got down from the tree, pinned the firewood knife behind his waist and ran quickly.

He began to bend over and carefully pulled out the cool withered grass one by one, and then threw it into the basket.

"There are a lot of cool withered grass. It's going to be pulled out. It's estimated to be 50 Jin!"

While pulling, Xu Ning calculated, which far exceeded his expectations.

If they were all dumped to Guo ye, they could be exchanged for nearly 300 liang of silver.

This is a lot of money.

Although Xu Ning was careful, he didn't procrastinate, but in a quarter of an hour, his basket was full.

"It must be more than twenty kilograms..."

Xu Ning's back basket is not small, but it has been completely filled at this time.

After seeing about half of the cool withered grass that had not been pulled out, Xu Ning thought for a moment and decided to leave first.

First, I have no suitable holding tools. Second, things are too heavy, which will affect the speed of action in case of danger.

Xu Ning flattened the cool withered grass in the back basket and sealed it.

After finishing, Xu Ning carried the basket on his back.

He was about to turn and leave.

Suddenly, a rustling sound came from behind my ears.

"Footsteps..."

Xu Ning was so excited that he immediately pulled the firewood knife away from the back of his waist and turned around.

I saw five or six black wolves standing higher and staring at him coldly.

"Hoo..."

Xu Ning took a deep breath.

Still in trouble.

He thought for a moment, then suddenly took a step forward and shouted.

Several eager black wolves wanted to attack. Frightened by Xu Ning, they took a step back.

Taking advantage of this gap, Xu Ning, who had to work hard, immediately turned around and ran away.

"Sure enough, the more Yunze mountain goes in, the greater the risk!"

Xu Ning looked back as he ran.

The black wolves have come after them, obviously ready to use themselves as prey.

"Can't run!"

Soon, Xu Ning realized this problem.

The mountain road here is steep. It was originally the home of the beast. With more than 20 kilograms of cool withered grass on his back, it will be caught up sooner or later.

Xu Ning listened to the footsteps chasing behind him getting closer and closer.

As soon as he gritted his teeth, he didn't run away. He climbed up directly against the nearest big tree.

On the front foot of the tree, the black wolf followed.

They jumped, one of them almost grabbed Xu Ning's trouser legs.

These black wolves in the inner ring of Yunze mountain are not only one circle larger than those in the outer ring, but also have higher jumping range and more strength.

"We have to find a way to escape..."

Xu Ning looked dignified and looked at the black Wolves under the tree who wanted to tear themselves up. His mind was still thinking.

I'm sure I can't run. Now there are only two ways to choose.

Or wait until the black wolves leave.

Or get out of the tree and fight these black wolves to death.

"Now I have achieved a little success in the strong wind Sabre technique and should have the skill to deal with several black wolves..." Xu Ning thought, "however, once I work hard, I must also be at risk of injury... If I am injured here, even if I escape the wolf's claws, I may be buried in the belly of other wild animals..."

Xu Ning is a little tangled.

Sure enough, if you want to get some excess returns, you have to take risks.

Xu Ning calmed his mood and moved up to prevent the black wolf from jumping up and scratching himself.

At this time, the black wolves who tried to jump on the tree several times but failed also gradually calmed down.

However, they still surrounded the tree and stared at Xu Ning, obviously not going to let him go.

"Wait first..."

It was not noon yet, and Xu Ning could afford it.

Time passed minute by minute.

Xu Ning began to eat some bread to supplement his strength. The black Wolves under the tree also lay down by the tree and guarded Xu Ning. They didn't want to leave at all.

Two hours passed.

"These guys are too patient..."

Xu Ning found that these black wolves were very persistent to themselves, without any irritability, and showed great patience.

If you go on like this, your physical strength will be reduced and your combat effectiveness will be reduced.

"Spell it!"

Xu Ning showed firm eyes.

He looked down. The black wolves were lying under the tree in a circle with their heads down.

It's afternoon. They seem to be tired and distracted from themselves.

Xu Ning took a deep breath and jumped.

"Drink!"

Xu Ning clenched the firewood knife in his hand. For a moment, the essence of the gale knife technique echoed in his mind.

Strong wind!

With the help of the inertia of leap, Xu Ning stabbed and cut down the back of the largest black wolf.

Pooh!

Blood splashed.

The black wolf howled and wanted to get up, but his spine was stabbed and had to struggle in situ.

Meanwhile, the other black wolves were frightened.

They did not expect Xu Ning's sudden attack, and their subconscious action was to dodge.

"Good chance!"

This time, Xu Ning no longer escaped.

Instead of advancing, he retreated and waved again at the black wolf closest to him.

Pooh!

A torn neck.

Six black wolves, two have been abandoned.

At this time, the black wolf finally began to resist.

But Xu Ning has not panicked. Six black wolves have been solved, two of them, and one of them is the strongest.

His pressure on the enemy plummeted.

Xu Ning began to retreat, leaning back against the trunk, to guard against the four black wolves attacking him back and forth.

In this way, one person and four wolves looked at each other.

This time, no one did it first.

The nearby black wolf is still howling.

The scene is still dangerous.

Just when Xu Ning was ready to continue to fight, suddenly, a black wolf stepped back.

Then the other three black wolves retreated.

Their cold eyes left Xu Ning, glanced at their seriously injured companions, and then turned and left.

Soon, the black wolves disappeared in Xu Ning's vision.

The instinct of the beast made the remaining four black wolves feel the threat of death.

They choose to abandon this dangerous prey.

"Safe..."

Xu Ning's tight nerves can finally be relieved.

He looked at the two black wolves who were seriously injured and abandoned by their partners.

"The cruel laws of nature used to treat me as prey, but I killed me instead..."

Xu Ning stopped staying and turned away.

If it were normal, he might cut the two black wolves for material.

Although there are many wild wolves in the outer ring of Yunze mountain and their fur is not worth money, the black wolf has bright color and sharp claws. It costs at least seven or eight liang of silver to sell it.

However, at this time, it is too close to the inner ring of Yunze mountain, cutting fur takes time, and the bloody smell will attract more terrible beasts.

On balance, Xu Ning gave up the booty this time.

But he didn't feel sorry. The cool withered grass in his basket was really worth a lot of money.

"Go home!"

Xu Ning wiped the blood on the firewood knife and quickly left the place.
