In the inn room, the wooden box with demon blood and the mask are placed on the bed, and the bamboo cage with the weasel is in the corner, and half a roast chicken is placed outside the cage, and occasionally two paws poke out from the inside, tear off part of the chicken and retract it.

Lu Jiu sat at his desk and compared the map of Anqing Province that he had purchased before to find the area where the location marked on the map in the mourning crow box was located.

Thirty miles southwest of Qingding City, Lianfeng Mountain Range.

It is located in the middle of the two counties of Qingding City and Xingyu City, and is named because of the towering mountains in the area.

And because the monsters are rampant in the mountains, it is a well-known fierce place in Anqing Province, and ordinary caravans or tourists from all over the world would rather take a long detour to deliberately avoid here.

Of course, it is not without boldness, but most of these people have become missing persons published in newspapers in the memories of their predecessors.

The predecessor had done this kind of reporting, so Lu Jiu immediately surfaced this information after seeing the name of this mountain range.

Some people may ask why the county officials of Qingding City and Xingyu City do not manage this mountain range, and here we have to mention the current situation of the Shenglong Dynasty.

The territory of the Shenglong Dynasty is nearly one-third larger than that of the Celestial Empire where Lu Jiu lived in his previous life, but the population is nearly one-third less, which makes the distance between the counties quite far away.

The location of the Lianfeng Mountain Range is just on the edge of the radiation range of these two cities, and what happened in the local area, it will take one to two days to wait for the news to be transmitted back to the county government of the two places, and wait for the county government to send people out, two or three days have already passed this back and forth, so the difficulty of management can be imagined.

Of course, aside from these objective factors above, there is another main reason, that is, the county government of the two places does not have that strength!

As early as five years ago, in order to lay the railway, the prefect of Zhiyuan Prefecture asked the capital of Anqing Province to mobilize 3,000 elite soldiers with a large amount of equipment to try to clear a route for trains in the outer part of the Lianfeng Mountains.

As a result, these 3,000 people retreated in less than ten days after entering Lianfeng Mountain.

No one dared to mention the specific situation, and there was no clear report in the newspaper, but the train track between Xingyu City and Qingding City was laid and detoured for twenty miles, but it was clearly there!

It is difficult to solve the matter before even the governor of a prefecture comes forward, and the magistrates of the two county towns below will go to find bad luck unless their brains are brought by a donkey to the eighteen-way springing legs?

At present, the mourning crow has paid 10 silver dollars to entrust the Liu craftsman workshop to create a mask with a strange style to prevent miasma in the mountains, and the map in his hand clearly marks a certain place in the Lianfeng Mountain Range, which is obviously an attempt.

Now that it is in the hands of Lu Jiu, it has made it difficult for him.

On the one hand, Lu Jiu was almost certain that there should be something special in this marked location, otherwise it would not be worth the trouble of mourning crows.

But on the other hand, just like the two county towns are helpless against the Lianfeng Mountain Range, Lu Jiu is afraid that he will not be able to go even if he gets these two things, he has no experience in exploring in the wild at all, and even if he holds a map, he may not be able to find a place.

Not to mention that the demon beasts in the Lianfeng Mountain Range are entrenched, and even the demon veins with extraordinary abilities like the mourning crow have to make sufficient preparations before they dare to go over, Lu Jiu thinks that he doesn't have his strength, and he can't do this kind of thing by rushing thirty miles to the mountains to deliver a box lunch to the demon beasts.

As soon as he thought about it, Lu Jiu temporarily extinguished his mind to find out, he had to be self-aware, at least he was not qualified enough now.

Folding the map again, he accidentally caught a glimpse of the pentagonal black metal tablet that had been specially wrapped in the map and was used for some purpose, took it in his hand and looked through it, pursed his lips, and put it back into the wooden box along with the map.

Then came the real highlight of the night.

got up and walked quickly to the back of the room door, listened to the sound in the corridor outside for a while, and confirmed that there was no one, Lu Jiu brought another box from the bed to the table.

First take out the six bottles of demon blood and your own bamboo tube, put them side by side on the table, and have a measuring cup that you asked for from the Lingzhitang store, and wash it with the white water on the table before putting it away.

Lu Jiu was not in a hurry to drink, but took out his notepad and tore a page, and copied all the names of the demon beasts written on the labels of the six bottles of demon blood.

The blood of the thorned deer does not flow.

The blood of the blue-backed wolf does not flow.

......

White-haired ape blood, gas level!

Of the six vials of demon blood, five vials are all demon blood that does not enter the stream, and only the last bottle of blood belonging to the white-haired ape is considered to be in the stream, and it is also the lowest level in the stream, the qi level.

Whispering softly to the handwriting on the paper, Lu Jiu recalled the conversation he had with the shopkeeper in the Lingzhi Hall in the afternoon.

Hu Sanniang only allowed him to ask one question, but he didn't say that he was only allowed to ask Hu Sanniang.

After Lu Jiu got the demon blood, he took the opportunity to ask the store for information about the demon beast in the name of research, and the latter didn't know much, but fortunately, Lu Jiu didn't have the slightest intention of hiding it in front of the silver dollar on the counter.

With this, Lu Jiu had a preliminary understanding of the demon beasts that existed in this world, and finally understood what the non-flowing demon beasts in Hu Sanniang's mouth were.

The so-called non-flow demon beasts are like weasels that have certain special abilities, but their wisdom is not opened, and they are more demon beasts that rely on the instinct of beasts to survive, they are widely distributed throughout the Shenglong Dynasty, and their strength is not strong, and it is not difficult for ordinary demon hunting teams to hunt them as long as they are fully equipped.

However, once the demon beast enters the stream, that is, grows to the qi level, the situation is completely different.

The most significant sign of the qi-level demon beast is that it can produce demon qi, which is also the origin of the name of the "gas level" level, so far the demon beast has been separated from the beast to some extent, becoming a real demon, not to mention the gradual opening of spiritual intelligence, and its own ability will also be greatly improved.

If you want to hunt a monster of this level, the difficulty will be several times higher than that of facing a demon beast that does not enter the stream, and it must be a well-trained and tacit demon hunting team, and it is best to have one or two "masters" in the team, that is, people who have demon veins or people who have taken special injections to enhance their physique.

The gray feather crow that Lu Jiu had seen before was a qi-level demon beast, and its strength was close to that of the spirit awakening-level demon vein, at that time, Lu Jiu relied on his own particularity to win, and if he was an ordinary person, the attack of the heart had already taken his life.

Above the gas level, that is the Dan level, but when I went to the store, I said that I had never seen this kind of monster in my life, and I only occasionally heard people talk about it, and I can't tell why I know why.

As for the higher-level flying demon in Lu Jiu's imagination, the shopkeeper said that it had disappeared hundreds of years ago, and now it only exists in folklore.

Why did such a powerful youkai disappear?

At first, Lu Jiu thought that there was an extremely powerful figure among the demon veins or cultivators, leading the human race to suppress the demon race, which made the current human race prosperous.

However, when he said his guess, the shopkeeper only replied with one sentence:

'Over the years, have you heard of any powerful cultivators in various places?'

After that, the store took the initiative to end the topic.

It's just that the intriguing expression on his face at that time is still fresh in Lu Jiu's memory......
