Urban Martial Arts System - Chapter 226

Chapter 226: Travel Task

“The trapping equipment she made is very easy to use, and the success rate is very high. If it weren’t for later…

“In short, if we need to trap any monsters in the future, or want to know the habits of monsters, you can come to An Lan. Of course, it’s not free.” After Luo Qing finished speaking, An Lan came out while carrying a suitcase.

“Three sets of Red-Tailed Demon Fox trapping equipment.” An Lan patted the suitcase and handed it to Luo Qing.

“Still the original price, right?” Luo Qing said to An Lan with a smile.

An Lan nodded.

Zhou Ping and Wu Jingxian did not speak during the whole process. They quietly watched Luo Qing’s behavior. Luo Qing picked some other things in the grocery store, then quickly took out a card from her waist pocket to transfer some credits to An Lan.

Zhou Ping glanced at it, a total of 80 credits. When they left the grocery store, Zhou Ping immediately said that he would transfer the credits to Luo Qing, but Luo Qing refused with a smile.

“Don’t bother with such a small amount of credits. Bring these things.” Luo Qing took out a few things like stockings and handed them to Zhou Ping and Wu Jingxian.

“What is this?” Zhou Ping certainly wouldn’t think this was silk stockings and asked curiously.

“Of course, it is used to hold the Red-Tailed Demon Fox,” Luo Qing replied.

“Use this to capture the Red-Tailed Demon Fox?” Zhou Ping asked in surprise.

“Isn’t it a cage or something?”

“Use a cage? Hahahaha…” Luo Qing burst into laughter.

“Little brother, do you know what is the most important thing when we go out hunting?”

“What is it?” Zhou Ping asked obediently.

“It is a reasonable distribution of the load.” Luo Qing didn’t smile anymore, her face was serious.

“If you bring a cage, how much space will it occupy? Going to catch monsters outside the city is not going to the orchard to pick fruit. We can’t drive a truck. In order to be convenient to carry, we need to use some special things. Don’t you underestimate this hunting bag.” Luo Qing picked up the hunting bag and showed it to Zhou Ping.

“This thing is very sturdy, and it has a certain degree of flexibility. Regardless of the size of a stocking, its capacity is not small, and it is also breathable. If a hunting bag is used to hold a Red-Tailed Demon Fox, it can hold up to four of them.”

“Can hold four Red-Tailed Demon Foxes?” Zhou Ping looked at the hunting bag in surprise.

“But the Red-Tailed Demon Fox can’t struggle in the bag?”

“Of course it will, so we need this…” Luo Qing flipped her hand, and there were three more small glass bottles that were like liquid fengyou essence.

“What is this?” Zhou Ping stretched out his hand to grab the vial.

“Be careful.” Luo Qing grabbed a bottle of “Fengyou Essence”.

“This thing is a powerful anesthetic. It doesn’t require injections. You only need to open the lid and put it under the Red-Tailed Demon Fox’s nostrils, and the Red-Tailed Demon Fox can sleep for a long time,” Luo Qing explained to Zhou Ping.

“But you have to be careful when using this thing. It is as effective for people. However, for people above True Qi Realm, the effect will be weak.”

Luo Qing’s words made Zhou Ping sigh for a while, and sure enough, there was a specialization in the art industry. Fortunately, he met Luo Qing, otherwise the two wouldn’t prepare anything. They would simply head outside like a headless fly.

They wouldn’t even finish the task within a few days.

“What we are doing this time is a short-term task. There are not too many things to prepare. Okay, let’s go now.” After all the things were distributed, Luo Qing took the lead.

The walls and gates of the base were built completely in accordance with ancient design. The city gate was made of two heavy metals, and there was a moat at the door. The water inside was drawn from the large lake next to it. There was also a drawbridge above it.

Every time Zhou Ping saw this city gate, he always felt shocked. Not only Zhou Ping, Wu Jingxian also felt the same way. On the contrary, Luo Qing, probably because of getting used to it, had no such discomfort.

The base had four gates, and they went out on the East gate. Out of the city gate, there was a grassland.

Zhou Ping was surprised that the environment in this secret realm was too strange. The entire mystery seemed to be centered on the base. To the west of the base, the direction from which Zhou Ping entered the city before was a forest. And to the east, there was a grassland. To the south of the base, there was a huge lake with no end in sight. In the north, Luo Qing said it was a swamp.

What a strange place.

Zhou Ping asked Luo Qing, and Luo Qing didn’t know why this happened. She just knew that even before she came to the secret realm, it was already like this.

The habits of the Red-Tailed Demon Fox were completely different from those of a fox. They liked to appear at night, and they tend to be three or four together… They ate everything, whether it’s insects or beasts, even some plants and fruits, they were all in their diet.

At this time the sun had already completely set, and there was not a trace of sunlight. But fortunately, there was a bright moon in the sky, and the moonlight illuminated the surroundings, but the cold moonlight also made the surroundings a bit cold. Coupled with the cool night breeze and lonely grassland, it gave off a sad air.

“This grassland is called the Qinglong Grassland. According to legend, when the base was established, a strong man killed a dragon-like monster here,” Luo Qing explained  to Zhou Ping as they walked.

“Our base is called the Martial Arts Base. It is the place where we originated in the secret realm. It is safe within ten kilometers around the base, but monsters will begin to appear after ten kilometers. The Red-Tailed Demon Fox that was captured the second time was found in places about 50 kilometers away from the base, which belonged to the place very close to the base.”

Fifty kilometers was indeed a very short distance for warriors. They came all the way, but it took a mere half an hour and they still did not run at full capacity.

The journey went smoothly, without encountering other monsters. Luo Qing began to investigate the surroundings.

“Red-Tailed Demon Foxes are lighter in weight, smaller in size, and are agile monsters, so it is difficult to find footprints. They don’t have any peculiar smell on their bodies, they have meat pads under their feet, and they barely make a sound when they move. They are exceptionally good at hiding themselves too. Therefore, it is almost impossible to find the Red-Tailed Demon Fox by tracking.

“The Red-Tailed Demon Fox looks very cute and has a certain amount of intelligence. It is about the equivalent of a three-year-old human child. It is one of the monsters that are easy to tame. It is very popular with children and girls. But because the number is not large, it is difficult to capture, so the price has always been relatively high. This can also be seen from the credits we can get when we hand in tasks.”

For an intact, surviving Red-Tailed Demon Fox, the task was given 100 credits, which was already a very high price. It took only 80 credits a month to be a helper in a restaurant. And catching the Red-Tailed Demon Fox once was 20 credits more than working as a restaurant helper for a month.

“We’re lucky if we can catch a Red-Tailed Demon Fox today.” Luo Qing squinted her eyes in excitement.
