Chapter 797: Beast Riding Fast
According to the direction of Xuanzhengtang's guidance, Mu Yu took the two of them to Dongsha City quickly, in order to speed up the pace of progress, Mu Yu was flying with Xuanzhengtang's father and daughter all the way.
Dongsha City is still quite a long distance away from the woods where they encounter it, because the mountain range near Dongsha City is infested with the Youmeng Demon Clan, so Xuanzhengtang ran far away to hunt the demon beast just in case of encountering the Youmeng Demon Clan.
At the speed of Mu Yu, it took about half a day to arrive.
From afar, I saw a quaint city standing outside a rolling mountain range, this city was quite large, and it was one of the famous cities in the cultivation realm. From time to time, some cultivators flew around in the sky above the city, inspecting something, and there was a long queue at the gate of the city.
Xuan Zhengtang explained: "Dongsha City is now tightly guarded, there are countless Youmeng demons in the nearby mountains, because the terrain there is dangerous, it is easy for Yumeng to defend and difficult to attack, after the eight gate masters of the eight gates agreed, it was decided to prohibit cultivators from going to that mountain range first, and now you need to pass through the city gate to enter and exit Dongsha City, and those people in the sky above are the city's guards, specially used to monitor the movements around the city." ”
On the way here, Xuanzheng Hall had already told Mu Yu everything he knew in detail, including the current situation in the Triple Continent, as well as the various panic problems caused by the appearance of the Yumeng Demon Clan, and although the eight sect masters were not in Dongsha City at the moment, they had sent their respective outstanding disciples and elders to assist the city.
A hundred miles north of Dongsha City is the Dongsha Mountain Range, where there were many demon beasts in the past, and many cultivators would go to the mountains to hunt demon beasts. But at some point, countless Yumeng demons appeared in the mountains. These Yumeng demons seemed to be looking for something in this mountain range, and occasionally left this mountain range and clashed with the cultivators who passed by.
When the Youmeng Demon Clan does not use the Five Elements ability, their appearance is no different from that of the Human Race, so once they put on human clothes, it is sometimes difficult for cultivators to distinguish between the true and the fake, and they can only rely on the city's guardian formation to distinguish it.
But in fact, when the Youmeng Demon and the Terran clash together, they will be exposed, and they will become Youmeng's appearance as long as they use a little bit of the ability to control the five elements, so when distinguishing between Yumeng and the Terran, they only need to use the most basic exercises to test it.
"What did you just say, what are the Yumeng demons looking for?"
Xuan Zhengtang shook his head: "We don't know, and neither do the cultivators. But everyone was rumored to be looking for those five people. It is the prophecy that has been circulating in the cultivation realm, and the five human races with the ability of the Yumeng Demon Race will dominate the direction of this war, I don't know if it is true or not. ”
Mu Yu was silent, how could Xuanzheng Hall know that it was one of the five people in front of him at this time?
"Then do you believe this rumor?" asked Xiao Shuai with a yawn on Mu Yu's leg.
Xuan Zhengtang and Xuan Sitong glanced at each other, then shook their heads and said, "Actually, we don't believe it, because many people think that it should be decided by the palace master of the Triple Palace and the last nine extreme immortals who will lead the direction of this war, not by the five people." ”
"Hmph, Triple Palace and Extreme Immortal?" Xiao Shuai pouted disdainfully.
"You may be right. ”
Mu Yu didn't refute Xuanzhengtang's words, now the cultivators still trust that the Triple Palace will lead everyone to defeat the Yumeng Demon Clan, and they don't know the dark side of the Triple Palace, so it's understandable that they don't know.
However, Mu Yu was thinking about other things, because he knew that the Yumeng Demon Clan could not have appeared here to look for them, but should be looking for something else. It is impossible for the five of them to appear in such a place, even Mu Yu himself decided to come here by accident, and the Yumeng Demon Clan may have gathered here for another purpose.
Soon they came to Dongsha City, and the guards guarding the gate all had the strength of the out-of-body period, and these were all disciples sent by the Eight Gates, specifically to protect this city. There was also an old man in the merger period sitting on the tower above the city gate, and his gaze had been sweeping around among the cultivators who were coming and going, vigilantly guarding against the Yumeng Demon Clan mixing in.
The gate of the city is covered by a golden formation, everyone entering the city must cross this formation, and at the same time they must perform their own spells in the formation, once the Youmeng demon clan appears in the formation, then the formation will immediately become a trapped formation, trapping it.
The cultivators entered the formation one by one in an orderly manner, and Xuanzheng Hall lined up at the end of the line with Mu Yu. There were about thirty cultivators in front who were about to enter Dongsha City, and people came over from time to time.
The process of inspection will not be delayed for long, and only a spiritual attack needs to be sent forward, so it will soon be Mu Yu's turn.
When he walked into the formation, Mu Yu just waved his hand casually, and cyan spiritual power shot out. The formation pattern didn't react at all, after all, there was no way to get him at this level of formation pattern.
After entering Dongsha City, I found that it was still a very prosperous city.
According to what Xuanzhengtang said, although there is a frequent haunt of the Youmeng Demon Clan here, Dongsha City is a famous trading center in the Triple Continent, so there is still an endless stream of cultivators who come here.
"Uncle Xuan, where do you usually sell hunted demon beasts?" Mu Yu asked.
"It's the Beast Beast Zhai, they will fairly value the demon beasts they receive, and then purchase them at a certain price according to the grade and completeness of the demon beasts, and the price of the sixth-order demon beasts can be sold at a very high price. Xuan Zhengtang replied.
Different parts of the demon beast's body have different uses, like the bones of some demon beasts are used to refine magic weapons, this one is sold to the refining pavilion, the heart and blood are used to refine medicine, this is naturally sold to the Baicaotang of the Danding faction, some demon beasts that can strengthen the body and bones after eating will be sold to restaurants and restaurants, as for the precious things such as demon spirits, they are popular wherever they are sold.
Xuanzhengtang is the person of this city, according to him, they have a piece of land here, and they didn't say what they do, but Xuanzhengtang knows this city well.
After walking two steps along the street, you can see a magnificent storefront at the corner of the street, with red bricks and green tiles, and a statue of a dragon next to it, looking majestically at outsiders.
However, this dragon is far from the Green Dragon Demon King and the Dragon Vine, obviously this is just a dragon imagined by the cultivators themselves, and it is five points less domineering and seven points less majestic than the real dragon.
"It's a good thing the big earthworm didn't come, otherwise it would have been going crazy again. Xiao Shuai said with a grin.
Mu Yu didn't care, and under the guidance of Xuanzheng Hall, he entered the Beast Control Zhai.
People come and go, everyone has their own things to do, and no one cares about Mu Yu and his party. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Mu Yu applied a disguised formation technique on his face, this formation technique was deliberately performed by Mu Yu, and it was ineffective for Xuan Zhengtang and Xuan Sitong, but when others looked at Mu Yu, they had a different plain appearance.
The hall of the beast control is very spacious, there is a circular counter in the center of the hall, and there are more than a dozen guys sitting in the counter, specially answering questions and solving questions for cultivators who come to trade demon beasts.
At this time, the outside of the counter was full of cultivators, and they had been asking about the sale price of the demon beast. Mu Yu even heard a guy shouting at an old woman who looked a little behind his ears in a loud voice: "We don't accept fifth-order poisonous toads here, this kind of thing has no other use except for making poison, even the demon spirit is full of poison, it's useless!"
But the old woman didn't seem to hear it, her face was a little annoyed, and she scolded some ugly words, and the guy didn't dare to fight back, after all, the guy only had the cultivation of the Jindan period, and the old woman had the cultivation of the out-of-body period.
Xuan Zhengtang didn't go to the counter to ask the guy, he knew the rules and transactions here. He led the way, leading Kiyu to the other side of the hall. Mu Yu found that the hall was surrounded by small cubicles, and there were special guys waiting at the door of the cubicles, and the number of people queuing in front of each cubicle was different.
Xiao Shuai didn't know where to get a scroll and was reading it carefully.
"Xiaoshuai, what are you looking at?" Mu Yu poked his head out curiously.
"I'm looking at the menu!" Xiao Shuai said, touching his chin.
"Menu?"
Mu Yu glanced at the words on the scroll, and found that what was recorded on the scroll was the reference price of various grades of demon beasts and some simple identification methods, there were many demon beasts that looked similar, but they were actually completely different, and the scrolls were clearly marked, and they would tell everyone how to distinguish.
"That's right! Menu, you see that this dense record is all the varieties of demon beasts! I'm looking to see if there are any demon beasts I haven't eaten, next time we'll catch them. Xiao Shuai said happily. He had already seen the "Overview of Edible Demon Beasts", and at the moment he was looking at it line by line with his little finger.
Mu Yu shook his head helplessly, the "Demon Beast Summary" scroll used by the Beast Zhai to guide the transaction to the guests was stunned by Xiao Shuai to say that it was a menu, and the imagination of foodies was also rich.
"The level of the demon beasts traded in each compartment here is different, and there are special people in it to identify, after all, the demon beasts that everyone catches are rarely alive, and they are all killed and then sold. And some monsters will have some changes after death, and it is easy to make mistakes. When we came here a while ago, we heard that a guy from the Beast Control Zhai had acquired the second-order Giant Eye Mang as a sixth-order copper-eyed snake, and as a result, he lost hundreds of thousands!" Xuan Zhengtang said.
"That guy was unlucky. Mu Yu smiled slightly.
Second-order demon beasts are worth more than a dozen spirit stones at most, and sixth-order demon beasts are worth 500,000 spirit stones, I'm afraid that the beast will have to die!
"yes! The guy was frightened when he heard that, and then he didn't know what to do. But in fact, it's no wonder that the second-order giant-eyed mang and the sixth-order copper-eyed snake can't distinguish the real from the fake at all after death, and it's normal for inexperienced guys to make mistakes. Therefore, the beast control Zhai began to re-make a lot of new regulations for a while, and now it is very troublesome to trade, it is said that the demon beasts above the fifth order must be identified by the beast connoisseur of the distraction period. Xuan Sitong said beside him.
Beast Appreciator, this is a profession in the cultivation realm, which is specially used to identify the breed of demon beasts. The general beast connoisseurs are said to be disciples from the Dihuangmen, and the beast control Zhai itself is also an industry belonging to the Dihuangmen, and their familiarity with demon beasts is second to none, and it is also the most authoritative.
Mu Yu glanced at those compartments, and the level of demon beasts was written on the outside of each compartment, for example, the compartment directly in front of him said fourth-order demon beasts, which meant that the compartment was dedicated to the trading of fourth-order demon beasts.
There are no less than thirty compartments in the entire hall, of which there are ten compartments for first-order to third-order demon beasts, nine compartments for fourth-order demon beasts, eight compartments for fifth-order demon beasts, two compartments for sixth-order demon beasts, and only one compartment for seventh-order demon beasts.
Those first-order to third-order demon beasts had the largest number of people in the trading compartments, followed by fourth-order demon beasts, and there were only a few three or four people queuing up in the compartments of fifth-order demon beasts, and as for the sixth-order demon beasts and seventh-order demon beasts, there were no cultivators waiting at the door.
Obviously, most of the people who trade here are low-level demon beasts, and the demon beasts above the sixth order are too difficult to hunt, especially the seventh-order demon beasts, the seventh-order demon beasts are in the depths of the woods, and they are extremely difficult to hunt, and the average merger stage cultivator does not dare to go too deep, because if it disturbs the other seventh-order demon beasts, even if it is in the merge stage, it will be difficult to get out of the whole body.
After all, not everyone has Mu Yu's ability to "fight if you die, and drill trees if you don't die", of course, Mu Yu didn't have much effort to solve those demon beasts, and with his current strength, he hasn't encountered a monster beast that can't be cleaned up.
"Young Master Yufeng, you have hunted two seventh-order demon beasts, in fact, you can be regarded as a distinguished guest of the beast control house, after all, seventh-order demon beasts are actually very rare, and many seventh-order demon beasts do not dare to make up their minds even if they are cultivators in the merger stage. ”
Xuan Zhengtang said and took Mu Yu to the trading compartment of the seventh-order demon beast, there was not even a single guy in the trading compartment of the seventh-order demon beast, and just as they were about to push open the door of the compartment, a figure suddenly walked down from the staircase and scolded: "Hey, stop!
Mu Yu turned around and looked at the person who stopped them. This is a man with a proud expression, who looks to be in his thirties, and his cultivation also has a combined five heavens, dressed in blue, and his chest is dotted with a goshawk, the goshawk spreads its wings and flies high, vividly. This is the mark of the disciples of the Earth Emperor Sect, and most people in the cultivation world know it.
Xuan Zhengtang saw the goshawk pattern on the man's chest, and said with a polite smile on his face: "This son, we are here to trade demon beasts." ”
"I know you're here to trade demon beasts, and the trading compartments for fourth- and fifth-order demon beasts are over there. The young man said impatiently.
Xuan Sitong stood up and said, "We're here to trade the seventh-order demon beasts!"
"You're here to trade seventh-order demon beasts?"
The man looked at Xuan Sitong with disdain, Xuan Sitong only had the cultivation of the out-of-body period, and Xuan Zhengtang had the strength of a doppelganger, as for Mu Yu and Xiao Shuai in the back, they looked like guys without cultivation, he sneered: "Even if you can hunt a seventh-order demon beast, hurry up and get out of the way! Don't come to entertain me!"
Seventh-order demon beasts, in the general merger period, they don't dare to guarantee that they can hunt them, let alone these people who look like hillbillies!
The man's eyes were full of mockery when he looked at Xuan Zhengtang and the others.
