Chapter 182: Lack of money
Flood Wilderness, one of the settlements of wild beasts on the mainland.
There are countless wild beasts here, and there are quite a lot of species.
Zhang Tao's Five Elements physique determined that he had to hunt the five attributes of the desolate beasts.
His target was a fifth-order desolate beast.
It was rare to see a fifth-order desolate beast in the outer area of the Flood Desolation, so Zhang Tao's destination this time was the central area of the Flood Desolation.
The central area of the Flood Desolation is inhabited by mid-level desolate beasts of the fourth to sixth order.
With Zhang Tao's current strength, the fourth-order desolate beast could be easily killed, but the fifth-order desolate beast was not so easy to kill.
But it's just right, while hunting wild beasts, you can also practice martial arts.
Why not kill two birds with one stone.
However, it is still better to be cautious when moving in the central area of the Flood Desolation, after all, there are sixth-order desolate beasts there.
Moreover, in the flood wilderness, the sword spirit could not help Zhang Tao at will, because the coercion on the desolation sword was the guide for the current desolate beasts to discover the desolation sword.
Although it is said that after the sword spirit controls the Desolation Sword, it is not a problem to resist the attacks of the sixth and seventh order desolate beasts.
But in this way, Zhang Tao's purpose of coming to the flood wilderness to experience training could not be achieved.
What's more, the desolate beasts in the Flood Desolation have a ninth-order terrifying existence.
After reaching the category of the eighth-order desolate beast, the desolate beast has a certain ability to resist the coercion of the desolate sword.
If you accidentally attract seven or eight eighth- and ninth-order desolate beasts, with the current state of the sword spirit, it will be really a bit troublesome to deal with.
Therefore, when it came to the flood famine, Zhang Tao did not have his biggest support, and everything could only rely on himself.
After considering it again and again, Zhang Tao decided to slow down the time to enter the central area of the flood famine.
He needs a transition phase.
It's different from the gibbon ape you encountered in the Forest of Death.
After all, what you need to face this time is a real fifth-order desolate beast.
After all, the long-armed ape that Zhang Tao encountered in the Forest of Death was still in the category of a fourth-order desolate beast, and he had not really broken the shackles of heaven and earth and entered the category of a fifth-order desolate beast.
If the original long-armed ape had entered the category of a fifth-order desolate beast, it would be impossible for Zhang Tao to fight it alone for so long.
Of course, Yemei can't easily stab it.
Thinking of the Forest of Death, Zhang Tao couldn't help but think of Shi Biao and Hu Mei.
"I don't know how Brother Shi and Sister Hu are now. ”
"But it should be good to think about it, Sister Hu has stepped out of the shadow in her heart, and her cultivation will definitely be a thousand miles a day. ”
"And Brother Shi is probably not simple, with the cultivation of two people, it is more than enough to gain a foothold in this river and lake. ”
People have feelings, Zhang Tao and Shi Biao and Hu Mei have been together for a long time, and they have experienced life and death together, and the relationship is still quite good.
When they first separated, Shi Biao and Hu Mei planned to return to Hu Mei's hometown. Erecting a mound for her brother, almost two months have passed now, and their business must have been done.
"I don't know if I'll have a chance to see you again in the future. Zhang Tao pondered.
"It's better to go to the Forest of Death first this time!" Zhang Tao said on a whim.
Looks like the Forest of Death is really suitable.
Also known as the Land of Nightmares by warriors, the Forest of Death is located on the border between the outer and central areas of the Flood.
It was the most dangerous place in the entire outer area of the flood wilderness.
Third-order desolate beasts can be seen everywhere, fourth-order desolate beasts are not rare, and more importantly, there are also fifth-order desolate beasts there, as for sixth-order desolate beasts, they are rare.
And most importantly, the original gibbon ape did not die.
At the beginning, the long-armed ape caused Zhang Tao to almost use the secret technique, but fortunately, Li Hanxue and Yemei arrived in time, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
If you can meet that long-armed ape again this time, you must kill it, and relieve the evil breath in your heart.
Making up his mind, Zhang Tao did not delay at all, and spread out his body and walked in the direction of the Forest of Death.
The desolation was as terrifying as ever, and the roars of the desolate beasts came from time to time.
Most of the trees here are evergreen, and even now in this season, they are still green.
Of course, not all places in the flood are full of trees, and there are some more desolate places.
Now the place where Zhang Tao passed through is relatively desolate.
There are bare peaks for hundreds of miles, and there are no woods in sight, but it is not a dead silence, at least there is a small stream flowing slowly between the peaks.
Zhang Tao has been entering the flood wilderness for more than ten days, and he is not far from the Forest of Death, according to memory, through the desolate peaks in this area, you can see the Forest of Death.
Reaching out to pick up some water from the stream, Zhang Tao washed his face, there was a reminder from the sword spirit in the past few days, he avoided some third- and fourth-order desolate beasts, and there were not a few battles.
Perhaps because of the consumption of soul energy a few days ago, the sword spirit spends most of the day in a deep sleep.
Now Zhang Tao felt that the consumption of soul energy had such a great impact on the sword spirit.
When the sword spirit is asleep. Zhang Tao has encountered several battles, but all he encountered were third-order desolate beasts, and fourth-order desolate beasts had never encountered them once.
After all, this is still the outer area of the Flood Desolation, and fourth-order desolate beasts are rare.
Due to the fact that the sword spirit was asleep during the battle, the soul energy of the desolate beast that Zhang Tao killed had no chance to absorb it, but even if it was absorbed, it would not be too helpful to the sword spirit.
This time, the sword spirit consumes soul energy, which is an essential injury, and the soul of a low-level desolate beast is not very helpful to it, unless it encounters a desolate beast that exists like the original Aoki Wolf King.
However, this is the outer area of the Flood Wilderness, and there are too few existences like the Aoki Wolf King.
The soul of the third-order desolate beast was absorbed, and it was not as fast as the sword spirit repairing itself in its sleep.
Although there is no way for the soul of the desolate beast to be absorbed by the sword spirit, the crystal nucleus Zhang Tao produced by it is a non-falling collection.
Although the current state of the sword spirit is not suitable for transporting the energy in the crystal nucleus to Zhang Tao's body, and in terms of Zhang Tao's current cultivation, the energy in the crystal nucleus of the third-order desolate beast is a little too little, but the crystal nucleus can be alchemy, and it can be sold for money at the worst.
Now Zhang Tao's money has been almost spent.
In the Yucheng auction, Zhang Tao got a lot of dividends.
But Zhang Tao's consumption is also very large.
At the beginning, he didn't know his physical condition, Zhang Tao had purchased a large number of low-level desolate beast crystal nuclei, but he didn't expect that these crystal nuclei basically didn't come in handy.
His breakthrough to the chivalrous level came so suddenly that a large number of low-level crystal nuclei had accumulated in the ring.
Originally, Zhang Tao planned to sell these crystal nuclei, but after thinking about it, a large number of low-level crystal nuclei would definitely be used in alchemy in the future, so those crystal nuclei have always been in his ring. Although some alchemy was consumed, there were still a lot of left, and these were all Zhang Tao's fixed assets.
In addition, when he was in the Whistle City and the Border City, Zhang Tao purchased a large number of medicinal materials in order to refine the pills, and the money spent was not a small amount.
So much so that all the gold coins he has now add up to less than 100,000.
This number sounds very large, but for an alchemist, it is a very small number.
Sometimes a scarce medicinal herb is worth hundreds of thousands, or even millions.
You must know that the half flower that Zhang Tao auctioned was as high as 400,000 yuan, and it was with Li Hong's help that the price was kept so low.
If you want to become an alchemist, the amount of money spent is a huge amount.
Therefore, Zhang Tao is very short of money now, very short of money.
"No matter how small a fly is, it's meat!" Zhang Tao said as he cleaned the blood stains on the crystal nucleus in his hand.
Cleaning the crystal nucleus, he shook his hand and called out a few sword spirits in his heart.
"No response, it seems that I have fallen asleep again, I don't know how long I will sleep this time. ”
The sword spirit's sleep time is not fixed, and sometimes it does not move for a day.
Looking up at the sky, Zhang Tao decided to camp out here tonight. Right next to the water's edge, you can catch two fish and eat.
Holding the sword in his backhand, his pants were pulled up, Zhang Tao stood quietly in edema.
With a "whoosh", the sword in Zhang Tao's hand stabbed straight down, and when he withdrew his hand, there was already a fish stuck in the sword.
"Haha, there's one!"
If people knew that Zhang Tao actually pierced the fish with a desolate sword, I don't know if they would be envious to death.
