Eroge: I can Travel To The Ancient World-Chapter 191: Hunting In Nanhai Mountain

" Young Lord Jia, You are right on time."

Jia Hao noticed that Zhou Yan and Li Qing were already standing with the Crimson Dagger Dojo's disciples. However, what made him surprised was the presence of Sang Qiuluo.

" Miss Sang? You are also coming with us?" Jia Hao was surprised.

" Haha, Indeed." Sang Qiuluo nodded as she looked at Jia Hao. " I realized I can be a help in the Nanhai Mountain."

" How is your father doing?"

" He is well, All thanks to the efforts of Pharmacist Mo." Sang Qiuluo smiled.

Jia Hao clicked his tongue as he looked at Sang Qiuluo. Rather than any girly attire, she wore a tight dress and pants, with leather boots covering her feet.

Tying her hair into a bun and a bow on her back, she looked like a huntress, ready to hunt her prey.

" Well, I believe everyone has arrived." Li Qing proclaimed. " Shall we go?"

" Indeed. Let's go."

Sang Qiuliu nodded as she handed everyone small pouches made up of clothes.

" What are these?"

" These are beast repelling medicines. With this here, we can evade most of the beasts."

Jia Hao thought for a moment before keeping it away, making Sang Qiuluo surprised.

" What is it, Young Master Jia? You are not going to use it?"

" Not now." Jia Hao stretched his arms. " I am rather inclined to fight off the beasts. I need to train my body, yes?"

" Haha, That's a good idea." Sang Qiuluo nodded. " However, this might create some hindrance in our journey."

" What do you think, Brother Qing?"

Li Qing looked at Jia Hao and thought for a moment. " Well, Let's just avoid troublesome monsters, shall we? After we get the Bright Snow Lotus, you can kill as many beasts as you want."

" Not to mention, The Wolven Fountain is a area infested with demonic beasts. We might not be able to avoid battle there." Zhou Yan reminded.

So planning everything, they moved into the forest.

Looking at the tall trees and dense greenery, Jia Hao couldn't help but sigh.

' Damn, It's my second time coming here.' Jia Hao thought about the time when he got trapped here with Cai Lingzhi.

Thanks to her, he managed to escape from there.

" Do you know, The monsters inside the Nanhai Mountain are very fierce? It's because, there are numerous spatial fractures inside the mountain, making the entire mountain rich in minerals and natural energy."

" However, most of the spatial cracks were guarded by powerful demonic beasts who feed on the otherworldly monsters. So, there is always tension between demonic beasts and monsters."

" What if we find a spatial crack?" Jia Hao couldn't help but ask.

" A spatial crack can bring both danger and fortune. First of all, we need to check if it's stable or unstable. If it's unstable, then leaving it would be the best option." Li Qing explained to Jia Hao.

" Most of the time, the spatial crack contains a small spatial domain, where otherworldly monsters and resources are filled. Not to mention, there are also spatial nodes, which if broken, the spatial crack would collapse."

" So, after getting a spatial crack, it would be best to destroy the spatial node. Else, it might attract more otherworldly monsters and cause outbreaks."

' Wait a second…Why does this sound like…towers and dungeon genre?' Jia Hao's expression turned odd when he thought about it.

' Let me see, Spatial cracks are gates. Then, there is a spatial node which is the core of the gate. It contains monsters and resources. If not taken care of, monster outbreaks can happen.'

" The elves, the otherworldly monsters, they aren't native to this land, right?" Jia Hao suddenly asked.

" Indeed, They are came out from the gray mist outbreak hundreds of years ago. As far as I know, they belonged to another old empire, which was invaded and then destroyed by the monsters." Li Qing replied.

" After the gray mist slowly resided, most of them crossed the Stormy Sea and settled in the western continent. However, of them stayed here and scattered across the ancient Zhou Dynasty."

" Hmm, Is that so?" Jia Hao rubbed his head as he felt utterly confused by the mish mash of the genres.

Soon enough, the team of scouts stopped as they looked around.

" There is a pack of Dark Hounds ahead of us."

" Around twenty or some?"

Sang Qiuluo frowned. " Dark Hounds are generally very sensitive to sound. I don't think we have the time to detour them."

" March forward. Archers, take position and shoot a few of them."

Jia Hao saw two practitioners rush forward and climb on the tree. Due to the effect of the violet internal qi, their body was agile and noble, and their five senses were sharper.

Arching their bows, they shot arrows to the distance.

*AWOOO*

Jia Hao and others heard the sound of the painful howls of dogs. The practitioners kept shooting arrows. However, the Dark Hounds seemed to notice their position and rushed towards them.

" Incoming! The pack is charging towards us!"

" We have already killed five of them! However, they are moving too fast in the bushes!"

" Bring it." Sang Qiuluo back as she pulled out a short sword from her waist. " We can finish them off."

The bush rustled as Jia Hao saw hounds with three feet of height and crimson eyes charging towards them.

With a lightning fast reaction, Jia Hao pulled out his saber and slashed out.

His internal energy flowed within the saber as he felt the blade was turning slightly crimson. Flames sparked out as Jia Hao cleaved a Dark Hound into half.

The slash made the open flesh sear as if it was burnt by flames. Jia Hao was amazed by the performance.

' Holy shit! Not only the saber is super sharp, it also gives extra fire damage!'

Sang Qiuluo didn't back as she faced two hounds at once. Her short sword flashed in a frenzied manner as she pierced skulls of the hounds.

Jia Hao recognized the technique as it was none other than the Crimson Frenzy Blade Art. However, Sang Qiuluo's movement were smooth as she controlled the precision of her attack.

However, looking at Li Qing, Jia Hao couldn't help but become speechless.

Li Qing simply stood as Zhou Yuan used an ordinary dagger to kill the incoming hounds. And he killed them with minimal effort as if he was crushing some ants.

' Tsk, Having a powerful servant sure has its benefits. I too also want it.' Jia Hao thought inwardly.

Since Sang Qiuluo and other members of Crimson Dagger Dojo were here, Jia Hao didn't used the Crimson Frenzy Blade Word. He wielded the saber naturally and simply used his brute strength to kill the hounds.

Not long after, the entire field was littered by the corpses. Sang Qiuluo looked around and nodded.

" Take a few corpses and carry them inside our sack."

Jia Hao was surprised as he looked at Snag Qiuluo for reason. Sang Qiuluo replied, " Well, The Wolven Fountain is filled with demonic beasts. We can use these corpses as lure to bait them away."

" Our sacks were soaked in medicinal fluids. So, they won't give the scent of blood while we are carrying the corpses."

" Heh, Miss Sang sure knows the ins and outs of the hunting, eh?"
