Chapter 80: Entering the Inner Mountain Area (Part I)
The Qianyun Mountain Range is located on the west side of Tiemufang City. For the entire Taizhou, Qianyun Mountain is just a very inconspicuous small mountain range, but for the monks in the late stage of condensation, it is still a monster beast settlement full of dangers. Of course, danger and opportunity are always interdependent. For this reason, there is no shortage of monks who come to explore and hunt in Qianyun Mountain.
Since the hunting team had never cooperated in actual combat this time, under the suggestion of Red Whisk, they first formed a very conservative defensive formation and rushed towards Qianyun Mountain. The only monk surnamed Zhou who cultivated body refining was at the forefront and became the pioneer. Hongfu and Wang Qingyun, who are also ninth-level cultivators, are one person who is behind the break and the other is in the center. The Li brothers, who possess a pair of high-level defensive weapons, are guarding the sides of the team. As for Lin Quan, who had never hunted demon beasts, he was arranged in the middle of the team by Red Whisk, and together with Wang Qingyun, he was used as a reserve force, ready to support the surroundings at a critical moment.
Two hours later, the team went deeper than 100 miles into the Qianyun Mountain Range.
Since the route chosen by the Red Whisk was one of the most common routes for hunting monks, there were not many monsters encountered along the way. At most, one or two hungry junior demon beasts popped up by chance. Everyone didn't care about this kind of little demon beast that was equivalent to the early stage of qi condensation, except for a few left for Lin Quan to practice at the beginning, as long as the little demon beast that appeared later dared to take the initiative to attack the team, it would be taken care of by the monk surnamed Zhou and the Li brothers who guarded the wings.
Unknowingly, the entire team has gradually advanced into the depths of the mountain range.
"Whew!"
A golden sword light flashed, and before a wind wolf that had just jumped up from the forest could let out a mournful roar, it was cut in two by a huge golden sword, and the blood really spurted and fell to the ground.
"Haha, happy!" Zhou Fatzi shook the long sword cleanly, and a large cloud of dirty blood completely slipped off the golden sword. Then he raised his spotless golden sword in the air and laughed.
"Fat Zhou, can't you keep the integrity of your fur? How many times have I told you, even if the Wind Wolf is only a first-order intermediate demon beast, its complete fur is still worth two spirit stones. When he saw Fat Zhou's complacent expression, the red whisk who fell at the end couldn't help but glare at him and yelled.
"Yes, yes, little brother must pay attention next time. ”
Fat Zhou immediately shrank his neck, smiled and touched the back of his head to look at the red whisk. It doesn't seem to dare to argue at all.
"Hahaha......"
Fat Zhou's embarrassing appearance made everyone laugh good-naturedly.
In fact, the monk surnamed Zhou has nothing to do with fat at all, but because his name happens to be called Zhou Pangzhi, plus he is very strong and strong than ordinary people, so Hongfu has always jokingly called him Zhou Fatzi.
"Sister Hong, now that our team has experienced some simple run-in, why don't we go into the inner mountain area now. I think this outer mountainous area is really worthless, and our entire team is a monster beast that goes all out. After marching again for half an hour, Fat Zhou suggested to Red Whisk a little bored.
After hearing Zhou Fatzi's proposal, everyone, including Lin Quan, had their eyes lit up, and they all showed eager expressions.
After chatting for more than two hours while walking, even Lin Quan, who was the most unfamiliar with the Qianyun Mountain Range, had a general understanding of this mountain.
It turns out that the Qianyun Mountain Range around Tiemufang City does not refer to a single mountain range. The entire vast mountain range is divided into the outer and inner mountains by the hunter-gatherers. The outer mountainous areas are relatively safe, because generally speaking, there are only first-order primary demon beasts in the outer mountainous areas at most, and occasionally a single intermediate demon beast will appear. In the inner mountainous area, intermediate and high-level demon beasts are very common, and even first-order top-level demon beasts are quite numerous. Therefore, the place of trial that can really pose a threat to the late-stage cultivators of Qi Condensation is still in the inner mountainous area. Therefore, in order to find an opportunity to break through the bottleneck, it is necessary to enter the inner mountainous area to stimulate the potential between life and death.
In addition, when the original development of Tiemufang City and some surrounding areas with immortal cultivation value, the owner of Fang City and some medium-sized immortal cultivation families around him had organized a large number of condensate stage cultivators to clean up Qianyun Mountain. At that time, they had cleaned up all the second-order demon beasts in the Qianyun Mountain Range, and they would clean them up every once in a while in the future.
Of course, these condensation stage seniors would only make a move against second-order demon beasts. On the one hand, it was because the first-order demon beasts they couldn't look down on at all, and only the materials on the second-order demon beasts could be useful to the condensation stage cultivators. The second is that these condensation stage monks have already reached an agreement to use this entire Qianyun Mountain Range as a hunting ground for their future disciples. In this way, it can not only exercise the actual combat ability of the disciples, but also continue to provide some necessary demon beast materials for the immortal cultivation world.
"What do you all have proposals?" After hearing Zhou Fatzi's proposal, Hongfu gently swept the hair around his ears and looked around.
When she saw that everyone showed an impatient expression, she smiled and nodded, "Since everyone has no opinion, then let's rest first and then let's go." But before that, I still have to remind you that the inner mountain of Qianyun Mountain is very dangerous, and you must not take it lightly, and you must always keep the formation intact. ”
After finishing speaking, Hongfu glanced at Lin Quan and the Li brothers a little uneasily. After receiving affirmative answers from the three of them, he nodded.
..................
Originally, Lin Quan thought that this Qianyun Mountain was not a too dangerous place. But it wasn't until he actually entered the inner mountain area of Qianyun Mountain that he realized that he had really underestimated these demon beasts before.
After entering the inner mountainous area, at the suggestion of Red Whisk, the team traveled towards the route that Red Whisk had explored. However, on this road that was often passed by monks, in less than an hour, Lin Quan and they encountered several waves of demon beast attacks. By this time, intermediate-level demon beasts were already the mainstream, and they often appeared in groups of three or five. The primary demon beasts are almost completely extinct, and the only primary demon beasts that everyone encounters are a large swarm of countless man-eating ant colonies. In the face of the vast black ant that was more than three inches long, Red Whisk very wisely avoided it early.
It's not too difficult to kill those man-eating ants, but consuming too much spiritual power at one time in this inner mountain area is simply an act of looking for death, and those man-eating ants are not worth a few spirit stones at all, except for the materials on the queen's body. As for the ant eggs, it is even more useless, and any monk with a little common sense knows that the first-order primary demon insect man-eating ant cannot be recognized at all.
