Chapter 22: The Thundering Frog
Wang Jing smiled slightly, and he didn't bother to worry about others, who told him to buy directly from the shopkeeper, and he lost a lot of commissions from this person. And he spent two hours in the store, asking the lowest questions, which made him very upset. even teased the Fengyue Sect beauty he usually looked up to in front of him, if it wasn't for the customer, he really wanted to rush up and beat Wang Jing up.
Wang Jing turned a few alleys, walked into a Tianshu Pavilion that specialized in books and maps, bought a copy of the latest version of the demon beast distribution map, and spent two spirit stones. There is only one of the thirty spirit stones left in half a day, which is left for the rapid recovery of spiritual energy in times of crisis.
The sorrow of poor and scattered cultivators, this time I must hunt more demon beasts for spirit stones, Wang Jing secretly thought in his heart.
Back at his residence, Wang Jing first cultivated the demonic energy of the golden sea and the spiritual energy of the dantian to the fullest state, and then carefully checked the distribution map of the demon beasts.
This map is worth the money, mountains and rivers, smooth and dangerous places, the distribution of monsters, habits and skills, how to deal with it, clearly marked, and the map is three-dimensional, it looks more convenient and intuitive.
Three days later, Wang Jing became familiar with the map and the habits of demon beasts, brought some condiments and dry food, as well as a longbow and twenty arrows designed by himself. In order to save mana and physical strength, he rented a white high-headed horse that traveled thousands of miles a day and galloped away in the direction of Zhulin Lake.
Zhulin Lake is only five or six thousand miles away from Huanggang City, it is a huge lake with a radius of 100 miles, and there is a kind of first-class low-level monster beast called the Thundering Giant Frog living near the lake. This frog has a turquoise body, is born with hidden supernatural powers, and the aura emitted by hiding in the water or grass is extremely weak, and it is very difficult for ordinary monks to detect it with their divine sense. Moreover, this frog is scarce in number, and can unexpectedly spit out a silver lightning bolt, which is not only powerful, but also has a paralyzing effect. Once accidentally hit, there will be a brief period of full body paralysis. Without the timely rescue of teammates, most of them would have died. Choosing to hunt the Thundering Giant Frog is time-consuming, laborious, and capital-intensive, so usually the cultivators who form a team will not choose to hunt the Thundering Giant Frog.
Wang Jing came here alone to hunt the thundering giant frog, and he had his own plans in his heart. Because although the thundering giant frog is good at concealment, it is slow to move, unlike the snake demon and the wolf demon, who are tired of fighting and half dead, and once they gain the upper hand, they run away. Moreover, Wang Jing has cultivated the Flame Lightning Thunder Technique, which has a certain degree of lightning resistance to ordinary lightning attacks, and the danger is greatly reduced compared to ordinary immortal cultivators.
As for finding the Thundering Giant Frog, it is not difficult, with the perspective mirror on the Heavenly Demon Ring, as long as the demonic qi is injected into the ring, you can find the hidden location of all the creatures within a radius of a hundred zhang nearby. With the help of this perspective mirror, Wang Jingda could first condense the Heavenly Demon Flame Blade, and then get close to the Thundering Giant Frog to sneak attack, so that he would have the upper hand. Even if the sneak attack is not dead, he can also have a few more fireball skills to assist, and he also prepared ten fireball talismans with him.
The skin of the thundering giant frog can be used to make the monk's lowest-level defensive equipment leather armor, which is worth a spirit stone, and its blood can be purified, which is used to refine the cinnabar for drawing the rune seal, which is worth a spirit stone, and the most valuable thing is the thunder crystal in the frog's belly, which can refine a thunder attribute intermediate rune seal, and a thunder crystal is worth ten spirit stones. This trip, as long as he can find three thundering giant frogs, Wang Jing can guarantee that he will not lose.
After eight days of overnight stay, Wang Jing finally came to the shore of Zhulin Lake. At this time, it was still early, the blue sky was like a wash, and there were no clouds. Wang Jing looked at the green weeds and sparkling lake by the lake, felt the cool breeze blowing from the lake, and was in a good mood, and the depression of cultivating all day in Huanggang City was swept away.
Wang Jing put his divine thoughts into the raised perspective mirror on the Heavenly Demon Ring, and inspected every grass and tree within a radius of 100 zhang, but found no suspicious red light spots. So, he dismounted, ate some of the dried meat he had brought with him, drank a few sips of water, and sat down cross-legged to recover the consciousness and physical strength consumed along the way.
He rode a horse all the way, and although there was no loss of mana, in the thousands of miles of running, in order to prevent unknown dangers, he shrouded his divine thoughts in a radius of hundreds of feet at any time. Be careful to sail the 10,000-year-old ship, so when you arrive here, your divine thoughts have already lost one-third. In the face of the unknown powerful demon beast, Wang Jing had no bottom in his heart, and had to adjust various states to the best.
Two hours later, Wang Jing stood up refreshed, observed the three-dimensional image on the perspective mirror, and did not find any abnormality, but there was an inexplicable nervousness in his heart.
Wang Jing kept comforting himself in his heart, maybe it was the first time, it was inevitable to be nervous, this trip was very well prepared, and there should be no big danger. He threw the reins of the horse and let it nibble on the tender grass of the lake. He took out thirteen talismans from his bosom and held them in his left hand, ready to be on standby at any time.
In order to save time in searching, he ran quickly along the grassy embankment by the lake, two feet longitudinally, faster than the galloping horse.
Demon beasts absorb the essence of heaven and earth to cultivate, and they are born with an instinct to be in harmony with nature, and they are the darlings of heaven and earth. It has a sense of self-supremacy over its own territory, and the only way to destroy the humans who dare to offend it is to destroy it. Therefore, although the water and grass here are abundant, and the fish and shrimp are delicious, fishermen who are not poor and crazy will not come here to seek death.
The sun was shining on the lakeside, the water waves were clear, Wang Jing ran for seven or eight miles in one breath, and did not find a thundering giant frog. Looking at the surface of the water, combined with the light point of the perspective mirror, he used the Heavenly Demon Flame Blade to kill hundreds of mandarin ducks playing in the water and giant turtles that came ashore to breathe. It's a pity that those are not demon beasts, a fireball passed, and there were no bones left, which made Wang Jing speechless for a long time, and the demon perspective mirror that day was not omnipotent.
In order to keep the demonic energy and spiritual energy in his body full, Wang Jing spent the first day running and meditating.
If it weren't for the early warning effect of the Heavenly Demon Perspective Mirror, it would be impossible for him to search such a large area in a day, and he would rather kill by mistake than let go, which led to the loss of a large amount of spiritual energy and demonic energy in vain.
When the sky darkened, Wang Jing found a dry place on the shore and sat down, ready to spend the night here. It's not good to see when it's dark, although you can observe it with divine sense, but it's too much effort and the gain outweighs the loss.
In the middle of the night, Wang Jing was meditating to absorb the aura of heaven and earth, when he suddenly heard a huge frog chirping seven or eight miles away. The quacking sound was thunderous, like rolling thunder falling from the sky, startling Wang Jing.
This call is consistent with the description of the thundering giant frog on the monster distribution map, so it shouldn't be wrong.
"Grandma, there is nowhere to find when you step on the iron shoes, you actually ran out and sent you to death, saving Lao Tzu a lot of effort. ”
Wang Jing was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately raised his breath and ran towards the huge frog's chirping, with tigers and tigers in his ears, and threw the danger aside. He really wanted to see the Thundering Giant Frog now, and think about how it was so valuable as a spirit stone.
