Chapter Seventy-Six: The Thief Who Stole the Spirit Stone
Yao Yiyu asked all the fleas to retreat quietly, not to attract the attention of Hong Yatong and them.
He didn't know if it was Hong Yatong who suddenly felt the breath of the spirit stone before he noticed the abnormality below.
He is not afraid that Hong Yatong will take the treasure map away!
Anyway, he is a flea, as long as Hong Yatong goes to find the treasure, he can follow quietly!
Looking at the things in the secret room, it should be impossible for Hong Yatong to have space equipment, otherwise, things like spirit stones and spirit plants cannot be placed in the outside world.
If you put it in the space equipment, it has a good effect of isolating the leakage of aura, and there is no need for a special box to isolate aura!
After the bed was moved, Hong Yatong directly used her spiritual power to lift the floor, and according to her feelings, she accurately found the tin jar.
If the iron jar is sealed, the aura inside will slowly emanate, and it will not be discovered by Hong Yatong, who is a spirit beast.
But after the fleas destroyed the tin jar, the aura that had been squeezed inside for too long suddenly spread to the surroundings of the tin jar, and the aura concentration around the tin jar was much higher than that in other places, although it was not big, but Hong Yatong was carefully perceiving the surrounding situation before she discovered it!!
Hong Yatong used her slender fingers to easily tear open the tin jar, and a fist-sized spirit stone with a somewhat dim light fell out, as well as a rolled piece of paper!
casually wiped the mud on Hong Jiayun's hands, and picked up the rolled up piece of paper a little nervously, which is very likely to be a treasure map
The piece of paper was opened, and this was an ordinary map of the Qiling Mountain Range, which mainly described the situation around Maple Leaf City, as well as the approximate location of other cities!
On the map, in the Qiling Mountain Range between Maple City and Konoha City, there was a small black dot, and Hong Yatong pointed to the black dot and exclaimed in surprise, "That's right, this must be the location of the treasure, hahahaha!"
Being able to keep it so tightly and put a fist-sized spirit stone in it to prevent the paper from aging, this map is definitely not an ordinary map.
In combination with her father's affairs, it is naturally only a treasure map
Seeing her surprise, Hong Jiayun hurriedly said to her vigilantly, "Tongtong, Tongtong, be quiet, be quiet!"
There are not only the two of them in this courtyard, but also some demon beast servants.
Hong Yatong was excited at this time, where did she care about this, the spiritual power wandered around her body, and she said domineeringly, "In Maple Leaf City, why should I be afraid of others!"
There is only one spirit beast in Maple Leaf City, so naturally there is no need to be afraid of others, even if it is known that she has a treasure map, who else dares to rob him!
But the night was long and dreamy, and she didn't care about it, and immediately walked outside, Hong Jiayun hurriedly shouted, "Where are you going?"
Hong Yatong turned around and glanced at him, "This is not nonsense, of course it is looking for treasure!"
Then he left Hong Jiayun and rushed out without looking back.
Hong Jiayun stayed in the room and sighed softly, "Alas, after so many years, you still can't trust me!"
Yao Yiyu was not in the room at this time, but quietly hid under Hong Yatong's shoes!
After some temptation, he knew how to hide from the spirit beast.
The body surface of the spirit beasts will have a layer of faint spiritual power to protect them, and most of the spirit beasts' costumes are also made of their spiritual power.
So if you want to hide in the body of the spirit beast without being discovered, the best place is to hide in the soles of their shoes, but the premise is that you are not afraid of being trampled to death by the spirit beast!
Yao Yiyu is naturally not afraid of this!
After he followed Hong Yatong all the way into the Qiling Mountain Range, Hong Yatong turned into the appearance of a red maple beast, and Yao Zhiyu also jumped from the sole of Hong Yatong's shoes to her hair, just lying on the hair, and she would not be discovered by the spirit beast!
The place marked with a black dot on the map, Hong Yatong didn't know the specific location, only knew a general direction, she was going in that general direction now, and when she got to the vicinity, she was comparing the terrain and perceiving the concentration of the aura should be able to find it.
In this way, Yao Yiyu followed Hong Yatong for more than an hour before he came to a stone mountain!
The black dot marked on the map is right next to this stone mountain!
Relying on the spirit beast's perception of aura, Hong Yatong searched around the stone mountain several times, and finally found that a certain location in the stone mountain had a higher concentration of aura than other places.
If you don't perceive it carefully, you really can't find it.
Then she used her spiritual power to directly shatter the stone in that place, and immediately revealed a hole!
However, in front of the entrance of the cave grew a large patch of itchy grass, which, as its name suggests, will itch very much on the body when touched, and the itching will disappear unless a special antidote is applied, or after three hours.
Itch grass does not have any medicinal and edible value, so whether it is a demon beast or a beast, it will be avoided from afar!
Hong Yatong is glad that she is a spirit beast and has spiritual power, so she doesn't have to touch these itchy grasses, otherwise, even if she is a spirit animal, she can't stand the itching sensation caused by itchy grass!
Using spiritual power, he pulled up these itchy grasses and threw them far away, opening up a path two or three meters wide before heading towards the small hole under the stone mountain.
In the place where the stone mountain touches the ground, there is a half-human-high cave, and she can't enter it in human form at all, only the red maple beast clan, only the size of an ordinary fox, can walk into this empty warehouse, standing at the mouth of the cave, she can feel that the concentration of aura inside is indeed a little higher than the place next to it.
Along this cave, she walked several kilometers inside before she came to a large and spacious cave! During this time, she felt that she had passed through the three layers of barriers, and before she had passed through one barrier, she could feel that her aura would be stronger.
Fortunately, these barriers are just some simple, common, barriers that prohibit the leakage of aura, and it doesn't take anything for him to enter directly.
Passing through the fourth layer of barrier, Hong Yatong was suddenly stunned by the scene inside.
I saw that there were piles of spirit stone hills inside, each pair of piles was bigger than the size of her Red Maple Beast Clan, even if she turned into a human form, the height could reach his waist!
Lingshi Mountain is not piled up randomly, but placed according to a specific position.
In the middle of the hill where the spirit stones are piled up, there is a small puddle with a shallow layer of water droplets in the pit!
Seeing this water droplet, Hong Yatong immediately went crazy, "Spirit Essence!!"
This water bead is the kind of liquid that his father brought back, since she became the city lord of Maple Leaf City, she also investigated what kind of liquid it was, and then she knew that there was something more precious than the spirit stone - spirit essence!
I couldn't wait to crawl to the side of the puddle, licking those spiritual marrow hungrily!
Seeing this scene, Yao Zhiyu shouted, "Violent Heavenly Things!"
Although there are not many of those spirit essences, they also have seven or eight grams, and if they are absorbed by him, it is equivalent to absorbing seven or eight kilograms of spirit stones.
Normally, it would take him at least more than an hour to absorb seven or eight kilograms of spirit stones, but if he took the spirit marrow, it would only take a few seconds to digest and absorb it, and he naturally preferred to absorb the spirit marrow!
Although the spirit essence is gone, there are still spirit stones, and after absorbing a bunch of spirit stones casually, Yao Zhiyu feels that he can also break through the beast. So he jumped into a relatively close pile of spirit stones and buried himself in the pile of spirit stones!
After absorbing the spirit essence, Hong Yatong looked at the spirit stone next to her.
There are several layers of formations to isolate the spiritual energy, as well as the placement of this spiritual stone, so it can be known that this place is not naturally formed, all of this is man-made!
The beast that can have so many spirit stones must be a spirit beast, and it is a spirit beast that is only stronger than her.
She has been the city lord of Maple Leaf City for several years, and the spirit stones she has accumulated are only one hundred kilograms, and at first glance, there are at least five or six thousand kilograms here!
Seeing so many spirit stones, even if it is a powerful spirit beast!
She did it right!
Take one and take all of them, she plans to take all the spirit stones!
With so many spirit stones, it wasn't difficult for her to take a moment to break through the yellow-level spirit beasts!
It's just that she doesn't have space equipment, and the hole is relatively small, so she can't turn into a human form and pass through.
can only transform into a body, and then make the body a little bigger, and can only bring a few kilograms of spirit stones out at a time.
After dozens of trips back and forth like this, bringing almost a hundred kilograms of spirit stones, she decided to go back to Maple City first, bring some tools, and call Hong Jiayun over to move together!!
When Hong Yatong passed through the protective array with the first spirit stone, Yuan Tianlie, the city lord of the giant ape, felt that another demon beast had entered his spirit stone refining array and stole the spirit stone!
Many years ago, there was no Giant Ape City in the Qiling Mountain Range, and the reason why Yuan Tianlie established a Giant Ape City here was not because of the small spiritual vein next to the Giant Ape City.
This kind of small spirit vein is extremely precious to a demon beast or an ordinary spirit stone, but it is not too precious for him, who is already a yellow-level spirit beast!
The types of spiritual veins can be broadly divided into five categories.
The first type is a small spirit vein, in which the concentration of aura can allow demon beasts to break through and become ordinary spirit beasts, but ordinary spirit beasts cannot continue to break through with the help of the aura in them!
The second type is small and medium-sized spirit veins, small and medium-sized spirit veins can allow ordinary spirit beasts to break through to yellow-level spirit beasts, but they can't break through to Xuan-level spirit beasts.
The third type is the neutral spirit vein, the medium-shaped spirit vein can allow the yellow-level spirit beast to break through to the Xuan-level spirit beast, and at the same time, the medium-sized spirit vein may also produce the spirit essence, but the production is relatively low!
The fourth category is the large spirit vein, the large spirit vein is enough for the Xuan-level spirit beast to break through to the ground level, and at the same time, the spirit essence can be produced almost every year, as for how much, there is no accurate number!
The fifth category is only possessed by the top spirit beast race, super spirit vein, earth-level spirit beasts want to break through to heaven-level spirit beasts, only in the core area of the super spirit vein, the concentration of spiritual energy in it is enough for them to advance!
At the same time, the super spirit vein will produce more spirit essence, and only the ancestors of each clan know how much!
Of course, it doesn't mean that you can't break through without being in the spiritual vein, but that you don't need to use the spiritual stone or spiritual essence in the spiritual vein, and you can break through directly with the help of the spiritual energy in the spiritual vein.
Of course, it can also break through outside the spirit vein, but it requires a large number of spirit stones or spirit essence!
The spiritual essence, in addition to being naturally produced in the spiritual vein, can also be artificially made, but the price will be very large, and it will not be able to make ends meet!
The reason why Yuan Tianlie established the Giant Ape City here was that he had built a Spiritual Qi Transformation Formation at the end of this small spiritual vein, which was the bottom of the stone mountain where Yao Zhiyu and the others were now!
By absorbing the aura of the small spirit veins and the aura in the surrounding spirit stones, consuming a few thousand grams, or even ten or even thousands of grams of spirit stones, can produce a drop of spiritual essence!
A drop of spirit essence is only equivalent to a kilogram of spirit stones, and generally no demon beast will waste it like this, even if it is a top-level spirit beast race.
This method not only wastes spirit stones, but also affects the spirit source, which is easy to stimulate the spirit source, causing the spirit source to disappear, which will lead to the severance of the spirit vein!
But Yuan Tianlie was just an alien spirit beast, so he naturally didn't care about these, he chose to be in the Qiling Mountain Range, also because there were only a few spirit beasts here, and it was also the border between the Central and Eastern Regions, and there was no spirit beast race in the vicinity!
Since Yuan Tianlie occupied the source of the spiritual veins of the Qiling Mountain Range, he used force to threaten more than ten cities near the Qiling Mountain Range, and every year he had to supply him with nearly 100 kilograms of spirit stones, in exchange for the opportunity for these city lords to enter the small spiritual veins for free every year for ten days of cultivation.
That's why there are so many spirit stones for him to waste.
In the past, Yuan Tianlie would come to collect the spirit essence every ten years, so that at least ten grams of spirit essence could be collected at one time, and it would not come too often, resulting in being discovered!
But just eight years ago, he noticed that the prohibition he had laid was touched, and he hurriedly ran to the side of Maple Leaf City to check it, and found that the spirit stone was missing nearly a thousand kilograms.
He quietly searched nearby, but he didn't find the person who stole his spirit stone, and he didn't dare to arrange for other spirit beasts or demon beasts to come here to investigate for him.
The spirit essence is a very sought-after thing in the central city, and once it is known by other spirit beasts, he relies on this method to refine the spirit essence. You don't need a Xuan-level, earth-level spirit beast to come. If there are two yellow-level spirit beasts, there will be no share of the spirit essence for him!
Later, he squatted for several months, but he never found that any demon beasts came to steal again, spirit stones, and the matter was over!
Unexpectedly, after many years, someone touched his prohibition again, this time he swore that he must catch the demon beast that stole the spirit stone, and rushed towards Maple Leaf City after giving an order.
It may take more than half a month for ordinary spirit beasts to travel from Giant Ape City to Maple Leaf City. But Yuan Tianlie, as a flood beast, only needs eight or nine days to arrive!
