Chapter 1315: Chapter 1315: Tracking
Hu Xueqin followed them from a distance, thinking about any good flying artifacts she might have, to give to Tan Shaoting once he was with her.
Judging by the direction they were flying, it seemed they were heading to the valley. In that case, there was no need to take action on the road.
She had already considered this; if she wanted the father and son to follow her, she couldn’t let them see her kill two women. Death Valley was the best place for that.
As she thought this, Tan Shaoting and his family were thinking the same way. After all, this woman was also a cousin from the City Lord Mansion, and they wanted to wait for Sect recruitment in Future City. They couldn’t openly kill Hu Xueqin.
Two days later, they arrived at the outskirts of Death Valley, and the family stopped using their flying artifacts, choosing instead to walk in directly.
Qi Hong felt quite comfortable here. There seemed to be more spirit plants in this place.
Mother and daughter were studying the map; they had already found their mission area and were fulfilling various collection tasks along the way.
Qi Yan and Qi Wen were still focused on the hunting tasks. Not wanting to be criticized for lagging in swordsmanship, Qi Wen had also been practicing intensely in space.
Hu Xueqin wondered why this whole family seemed to be on a leisurely outing.
"Mom, I sense something good," Qi Hong communicated to his mom with a smile.
"What good stuff?"
"Not quite sure, but I think it’s a Spirit Stone Mine or something similar. The Wood Spirit Power is exceptionally rich."
Su Yuanyuan had heard about them mining before. She was very envious and didn’t expect to have such an opportunity.
"Let’s complete our tasks first and deal with that woman later."
Qi Wen secretly laughed on the side. Mom was upset and missed Dad.
They used to think Dad’s feelings for Mom were overly intense. Dad was always so cautious. This time, they realized Mom felt the same way about Dad.
It was impossible not to envy their parents’ relationship. They had seen many couples with good relationships, but none were as loving as their parents.
Qi Hong had already collected quite a few spirit plants and shared their effects with the family.
The whole family certainly remembered, especially Qi Yan. Knowing he would become a Sword Cultivator, he understood the need for many Spirit Stones for cultivation. Thus, he knew he needed a source of income and couldn’t always rely on his parents and siblings.
So he put extra effort into remembering the spirit plants, considering that even if he couldn’t use them, he could trade them for Spirit Stones.
Hu Xueqin kept a close watch on them, seeing Qi Hong’s talent with spirit plants, and felt more determined to get what she wanted.
She was currently in the Golden Core Stage, and breaking through was exceedingly difficult.
After her Divine Sense injury, she realized the importance of Elixirs.
But in their kind of family, Alchemists, especially high-level ones, were very rare. Even at the City Lord Mansion, she couldn’t invite them to refine Elixirs for her.
If she could nurture one herself, it would be different, and she might even secure a place for herself in the City Lord Mansion. Having figured this out, Hu Xueqin got closer to the family and was now waiting for an opportunity.
Looking at Second Brother, Qi Wen was quite tempted too. She had also learned and knew a fair amount about spirit plants, so she joined in her Second Brother’s collection efforts.
Su Yuanyuan’s Divine Sense always monitored Hu Xueqin, and she knew what this woman was thinking, making her grit her teeth in hatred.
She knew her Mind Reading Technique was undetectable to the other party. However, she didn’t dare to communicate this to her family either.
The couple followed behind their three kids and paid attention to the spirit plants, too.
They learned a lot along the way, and this hands-on learning was far superior to anything they could learn from books.
They arrived at a lakeside, where the map indicated Silver Moon Lake, and where the moonlight made the lake especially beautiful at night.
They stopped here because the mother and daughter sensed there were things at the lake bottom suitable for them.
Hu Xueqin was already tired of following them like this, and today, she felt another headache coming on.
If this wouldn’t work, then she’d create danger. Silver Moon Lake was a good place, and by night, they would discover the danger.
The family rested here but did not get too close to the lakeside.
Such a place certainly had its dangers. There was no need to take risks just yet.
The spirit plants here were different from those in other places; there were many aquatic ones, and their levels were quite high.
The couple sat down to rest, with Tan Shaoting taking great care of them. Watching this, Hu Xueqin gnashed her teeth in anger.
She turned and left, unwilling to wait any longer. She would deal with them soon, at the very least making sure that woman was dead.
Tan Shaoting’s Divine Sense continuously monitored Hu Xueqin until she exited their Divine Sense range, and only then did the family speak.
"We should still be cautious."
Su Yuanyuan nodded, "Hmm, she’s entered the inner circle, meaning she’s probably trying to attract demon beasts. We just need to wait."
"I feel that what’s below Silver Moon Lake is very important to Qi Wen and me."
Tan Shaoting nodded. Wasn’t waiting just the right thing to do?
Hu Xueqin entered the inner circle and released some beast-attracting powder, doubting she couldn’t handle them.
She was quick, spreading it three times along the way until she got close to Silver Moon Lake.
The beast-attracting powder was likely to enrage the demon beasts, and she could wait to reap the benefits.
Within an hour, the whole family could feel the ground shaking.
"This saves us the time to find targets ourselves."
The whole family wielded their swords in wait. A large number of demon beasts were approaching.
Tan Shaoting tossed out a Fourth Order Array Plate. "If you get tired, don’t push yourself. Just get inside and rest."
Su Yuanyuan sighed; arrays truly are great things. It was necessary to find a way to record high-level array plates, as they were indispensable for travel and family life.
Hu Xueqin placed the last bit of beast-attracting powder not far from them.
The family was now seeing the demon beasts and decided not to wait there any longer. They charged forward together, swinging their swords to fight the beasts.
The family’s Divine Sense kept track of Hu Xueqin. The kids’ Divine Sense was still weak, allowing Hu Xueqin to notice.
However, she didn’t reveal herself. She wanted to subdue the father and son trio, so she couldn’t become their enemy.
Qi Wen’s sword swung faster and faster. The whole family moved in unison.
The beast-attracting powder had a time limit, and Hu Xueqin grew anxious.
As she endured the pain, seeing the advancing Fifth-stage Flame Lion, she smiled.
Even in the Golden Core Stage, dealing with a Fifth-rank Demon Beast would be difficult, let alone for this group of Foundation Establishment and Qi Cultivation cultivators.
Su Yuanyuan faced the Flame Lion directly but was stopped by Tan Shaoting. He knew his wife wanted to deal with that woman, so he would handle the Flame Lion.
Understanding Tan Shaoting’s intention, Su Yuanyuan focused on killing other demon beasts on the side, knowing they could exchange the spoils for a large number of Spirit Stones afterward.
Once the Flame Lion charged forward and didn’t catch the scent attracting it, it seemed ready to leave.
Tan Shaoting didn’t mind. If it wanted to leave, fine; if not, then they’d fight. Facing this Fifth-rank Demon Beast was no problem at all.
