Wu Jinxing once read a large number of historical materials in the Scripture Pavilion of the Academy of Literature, and had a general understanding of the history of the Wenwu Continent:

Since 10,000 years ago, the world has been divided into three parts, which have been occupied by the human race, the demon race and the demon race. Each clan occupies three points of the continent, and the other part is some dangerous places, which are not easy to conquer, occupied by some extremely vicious ghosts, and have become forbidden places on earth.

For example, before the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, the ghost king of the ghost girl was one of them, occupying a large area east of the Zhou Demon Mountain Range.

After 10,000 years of changes, there are now a total of six empires on the Wenwu Continent - the Zhou Tian Dynasty, the Three Sect Kingdoms, the Loulan Ancient Kingdom, the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdoms, the Ancient Demon Mountains and Rivers, and the Heaven Killing Demon Domain. Among these empires, the Zhou Tian Dynasty, which was the least established, also had a history of 1,000 years. And the six countries are constantly at war with each other, as long as it is not their own race, there have been wars.

The empires that belonged to the human race among these empires were the Zhou Tian Dynasty, the Three Religion Kingdoms, and the Loulan Ancient Kingdom. Compared with the 1,000-year founding time of the Zhou Dynasty, the Sanjiao Kingdom with a history of 3,000 years is much longer, but it is the ancient kingdom of Loulan - the founding of the country is about 5,000 years.

Because these empires are all of the human race, this information can be more specific, and the existence time of the empires of the demon race and the demon race is unknown, only that it is a long, long time.

Although the number of empires of the Terrans is the largest, which is the sum of the other two races, this does not mean that the Terrans have the greatest power on the continent, but rather belong to the weakest side.

Because each clan occupies three points of the world, it is natural that the smaller the number of empires, the stronger the cohesion, and the stronger the power of integration.

In addition, the three empires of the Terran are too far apart, as if the Zhou Dynasty and the Three Sects are separated by the entire continent, which further weakens the power of the Terran.

Therefore, the Demon Clan's Heaven Slaying Demon Domain became the most powerful empire on the continent, occupying the southwest corner of the continent and extending to the north and east.

If you want to fight against the Heaven Slaying Demon Domain, you must need the other five countries to join forces. Originally, it only required one clan to confront it with the same hatred, but the intrigue between various countries had to be participated in by the whole country, and no clan or country was allowed to watch the mountain and tiger fight.

And now it's back to the Zhou Demon Mountain Range.

The Zhou Demon Mountain Range is the dividing line between the Zhou Dynasty and the Heaven Killing Demon Domain, completely dividing the two countries, with the Zhou Heaven Dynasty in the east and the Heaven Killing Demon Domain in the west. The mountains are steep and difficult, and it is difficult for the army to pass through, so there are few large-scale wars between the two countries, and there are usually small-scale frictions.

And Taiyuan Prefecture is located at the end of the Zhoumo Mountain Range, so it has become the place where the two countries face each other most frequently, but because the end of the mountain range is still close to the sea, the space is limited, so the friction is not strong.

The span of the Zhou Demon Mountain Range is large, and the content of spiritual energy in it is not low, so there are also various natural treasures in the mountain. Naturally, it has become a sacred place for people who want to make a fortune or want some unusual opportunity.

And today, Wu Jinxing has also become one of these people.

……

Going out of the city gate to the west, you can see a mountain range that reaches straight into the sky, continuous and endless. Just a few steps away, you'll be at the foot of the mountain.

"Alright, it's finally here." Wu Jinxing wiped the sweat from his head, and then took out a parchment map he had just bought, "Although this map is not complete, and many places are blank, it can also give me a rough direction." ”

"Then ...... now," Wu Jinxing looked at the winding mountain road in front of him that had been trampled on by countless people, "just go inside a little, and then go open the way to find the elixir yourself." ”

It was the first time for Wu Jinxing to come out to collect medicine by himself, and he had no experience, so he didn't know how to find the elixir, so he could only wander around.

But he also knew that it was not safe in the mountains. In the mountains, you may meet other people with evil intentions and greed, who are secretly killing people and robbing money. You may also meet people from the demon race of the enemy country, and they will fight you with swords because of their race. It is also possible to encounter ferocious beasts because of walking too far inside, and become its belly food.

After a while, the not too deep part of the mountain range, suddenly sounded the dull crashing sound and the clatter of branches.

"I knew I would have taken a machete, so when would it be time to open the way with the pot." Wu Jinxing held the pot and said with some dejection, "It took a few minutes to walk a few meters, this kind of efficiency is too low, it will take the year of the monkey to find the elixir." ”

"Alas, it's useless to complain at this time, it's better to ...... yourself Wait, I think I still have a map to work with! ”

This map is not made of parchment, but the map function of the pot god system.

Wu Jinxing opened the map and found that the gray area in the west of the original Taiyuan Prefecture had been unlocked a lot because he entered the mountain range.

"Let me see if there's any elixir nearby." Wu Jinxing's gaze swept every inch of the map, but he didn't find any trace of the elixir.

The map is not omnipotent, it only shows the terrain and the general outline of the building, and it is naturally impossible to show the location of the elixir, otherwise wouldn't it be invincible?!

But the hard work paid off, and although he didn't find the elixir, he did discover something remarkable - a stream.

Wu Jinxing still clearly remembers that the doctor had mentioned that the grass tip star grows in the woods that only grows near the stream.

So the discovery of the stream means that the grass tip star has fallen!

Fortunately, he had a map of the pot god system, and the parchment map he bought himself did not have this stream at all, otherwise he would have to miss this opportunity.

It's just that he also found a bad news, at least not good news for him - the little red dot of Zhou Jinyan, who represents the little princess of the Zhou Dynasty, has also left Taiyuan Prefecture and entered the Zhou Demon Mountain Range at some point, and it is not too far away from him, that is, the distance of a mountain. It is far away for ordinary people, but it is not far for monks.

"What the hell is this little princess doing wool?" Wu Jinxing frowned and said, "Doesn't she know that someone is going to assassinate her?" and so blatantly ran to the dividing line between the two empires......"

Wu Jinxing suddenly realized something, and his voice became louder: "Doesn't that mean that the person who wants to assassinate her is a member of the demon clan?" This is very likely, isn't the identity of the little princess representing the Zhou Dynasty? If she's killed......"

But he thought about it: "Then what does it have to do with me that she was killed?!" The big deal is that there are fewer rewards for completing tasks. So I'd better not think about it so much, let's go to the creek and see if I can harvest the grass spikes. ”

……

This time, Lady Luck is on Wu Jinxing's side. After nearly half an hour, he finally made a way to the creek.

"Phew, it's finally here." Wu Jinxing was dirty and messy all over his body at this time, and the leaves and dirt were everywhere, especially the leaves on the top of his head were the most.

He immediately put down the medicine basket on his back, threw the pot aside, and ran to the stream to wash his face.

The creek is crystal clear and the water is sparkling. On both sides of the creek is soft grass, the grass is green, but the green is mixed with yellow from time to time, like stars in the sky.

Grass Tip Star is worthy of being the most common medicinal herb, Wu Jinxing swept it over at a glance, and casually found a large handful. He ran a little upstream and downstream, and soon gathered four taels of grass spikes.

"Okay, now the herbs and herbs that the doctor wants are enough, all the medicinal materials are complete, and the task is successfully completed." Wu Jinxing said to himself and put the Grass Tip Star in the medicine basket, "Next, let me see if there is any spirit herb Grass Tip Star I need." ”

But this time, Lady Luck seemed to have abandoned Wu Jinxing, and there was no reaction at all. So Wu Jinxing couldn't find the elixir even after looking for a bell.

"Alas, is it because the aura here is not abundant enough that the elixir has not been conceived? It's really bad luck," Wu Jinxing said with some pity, "I'd better walk along the stream and see if I can find anything." ”

But Wu Jinxing didn't know that the reason why he didn't find the elixir was not only a matter of luck, but also a matter of equipment and magic weapons.

……

At the same time, the other side.

"This spirit compass is so easy to use, it's much easier to find the elixir now!" Compared with Wu Jinxing, who was headless and fly-like, Zhou Jinyan was holding something that looked like a compass at this time.

In modern language, the spirit compass is actually an aura detector.

There are two pointers on the compass, one is a compass, and the other is used to indicate the direction of the place where the aura is strong, called the spirit needle.

"This is a gift from my father a few years ago, and it has finally come in handy. However," Zhou Jinyan looked at the woman beside her and said, "Sister Chen, can this spirit compass only be used to find places with strong spiritual energy, and cannot be used to detect people?" I remember that people with a high level of cultivation also have a strong aura in their bodies? It's no less than an ordinary cave blessed land! ”

The maid's name is Chen Rong, her age is about twenty years old, and her cultivation has just entered the Yuan Shen Realm. has always been Zhou Jinyan's personal maid, taking care of her daily life, almost inseparable. This also caused Zhou Jinyan to have to take her with her even if she fled from the palace.

Chen Rong covered his mouth and chuckled lightly, explaining, "Your Majesty, you are laughing. The most fundamental purpose of the spirit compass is to detect aura, as long as the aura content is much higher than the normal level, it will be detected. Although it can detect a strong person whose cultivation has reached a certain level, which of the strong people will not have a convergent aura? But in the wild, these caves and blessed lands don't know how to restrain their breath, so they will naturally be detected. ”

"It's just that if someone else takes the lead before we arrive and uses the formation to impose a formation that can shield the spiritual energy from escaping, it will make the spirit compass lose its clues and be undetectable."

"Oh, oh, I see." Zhou Jinyan suddenly realized, "Then if we are in the Cave Heaven Blessed Land, and there is a spiritual energy far higher than the normal level everywhere, how will the spirit compass react?" ”

"Well," Chen Rong thought for a moment, "the spirit needle on the spirit compass should lose its accuracy and spin around. ”

"On the other hand, the closer we get to our destination, the more the needle swings?" Zhou Jinyan took the spirit compass in her hand and showed it to Chen Rong, "Just like this?" ”

The spirit needle on the spirit compass that followed the direction of the place where the spiritual energy was rich was constantly swinging in a small area, more precisely, in the ...... Twitch.

"That's right," Chen Rong nodded, "This means that we are not far from it." And judging from the reaction of the spirit needle, the spiritual energy content in this place is very high, and there should be a lot of elixir. ”

"That's great, what are you waiting for? Let's get over there. Zhou Jinyan shouted excitedly, then quickened her pace and ran in the direction pointed by the spirit needle.

As for the obstacles along the way...... She slashed with a sword, or slashed with an unknown thunder spell, which didn't affect her actions at all.

Chen Rong followed quietly behind, looking at Zhou Jinyan's back, revealing a weird and hideous smile. She quietly took out a piece of jade pendant and injected a sentence into it with her divine sense:

"Prey, take the bait."
