Longevity, Starting From Raising Chickens

Chapter 153 Blood-draining black crickets Musen Island

Except for the map given by the store owner of the Spiritual Beast Shop.

Wang Ba also went to the bookstore in Fangshi before and bought nearby maps as well as detailed maps and travel notes of most areas of the Yan Kingdom.

In contrast, there are no mistakes or omissions.

However, the map provided by the Spiritual Beast Shop was obviously more detailed regarding the location within a hundred miles of where Jiantao was stationed.

It even marked the haunts of some Rank One spirit beasts.

Of course, don't count on Rank Two spirit beasts.

The major markets of Tianmen Sect basically only sell various resources of Rank One, while Rank Two are hard to come by.

Almost everything related to Rank Two is precious.

The owner of the Spiritual Beast Shop is Qi Refining Realm. Although he does not need to do it himself, it is impossible for him to take out such a precious map and give it away casually.

If you want to get Rank Two's Law Weapon, spiritual beasts, elixirs, techniques, etc., you either have to leave the station and go outside to get them.

Either complete the tasks within the sect and obtain meritorious deeds, then redeem them in the treasury within the sect.

Either establish a good relationship with some monks who master Rank Two skills and do private transactions.

Anyway, Tianmen Sect appears to be extremely conservative in its attitude towards Rank Two resources.

This is also one of the methods used by the Tianmen Sect to control the Foundation Building monks.

If you want to obtain resources, you must follow the Tianmen Sect to death.

Not to mention these, the Rank One spirit beast is enough for Wang Ba.

Anyway, he just stayed in the church for a long time, and wanted to go out and walk around, and catch some spiritual beasts he had never seen before.

If it is of high value, it can be used to cultivate and expand his collection of spiritual beast species. If it is of average value, it can be used as experimental material for his preparation of treatment fluids.

Looking through the map, he soon saw a familiar word:

Shield giant tortoise.

Immediately lifted the spirits.

Driving the Rank Two flying Law Weapon, he crossed the huge sword mountain where Jiantao was stationed, and then flew into the deep mountains and forests surrounding Jiantao's station.

Perhaps it was because Tianmen Sect's actions against Incense Road attracted most of the monks. After Wang Ba flew over Jianshan Mountain, he occasionally saw a few Tianmen Sect monks at first.

The deeper we fly, the fewer people there become.

Correspondingly, there are gradually more traces of wild beast activities.

Wang Ba completely released his spiritual consciousness, covering a radius of more than tens of feet.

But what disappointed him was that he had never encountered a single spiritual beast along the way.

This was quite different from his imagination of spiritual beasts everywhere.

But then I think about it and it makes sense.

After all, the monks have many means. If they really want to catch a spiritual beast, it will be difficult for them to slip through the net.

And this place is not far from Jiantao's station. Driven by profit, it was naturally plundered.

Wang Ba was not too disappointed.

His eyes fell on the unfamiliar and novel forest trees, but his heart was rarely filled with joy.

There is a faint feeling of excitement in the soul.

After all, monks are human beings too, and they can't hold it in for too long.

Soon, with the guidance of the map, Wang Ba found the habitat of the giant shield tortoise by referring to Jianshan Mountain and some surrounding iconic terrains.

What surprised Wang Ba was that the habitat of the giant shield turtle was not the lake he imagined, but a stream running through the forest.

It feels like a tropical rainforest in a previous life, with steaming water and extremely humid conditions.

Wang Ba searched carefully inside for a long time, but did not see the giant shield turtle. It is estimated that all the spirit turtles here have been caught by the monks.

But what I saw was a black leech that was only as big as an arm.

Wang Ba quickly thought about the information about these black leeches from his memory.

This is the Rank One Low Grade spiritual insect, the blood-sucking black cricket.

Birds, beasts, fish and insects, as long as they can draw blood, are all within the scope of its diet.

He saw with his own eyes a fierce tiger that had strayed in by mistake, was quietly attached to by the blood-sucking black weed, and then sucked into skin and bones in the blink of an eye.

What's weird is that this fierce tiger didn't even realize it, even though it was sucked into skin and bones, it still maintained its consciousness and looked around for food.

"Crackling."

Wang Ba lightly squeezed his two fingers, and crushed a blood-sucking black weed that had targeted him and fell from the leaves above.

The bloody juice overflowed, and the aura also dissipated.

"It's quite weak."

Wang Ba was a little disappointed.

This kind of spirit insect has ordinary combat power and is of no use to most monks. It is probably because of this reason that there is no one who captures them.

Although Wang Ba couldn't think of the use of these things, out of habit, he still searched for all the blood-sucking black flies here.

Based on the coverage of his spiritual consciousness, even if the blood-sucking black flies in this area have not lost their roots, it will probably take more than ten years to return to their previous state.

After collecting the blood-sucking black beetles, he followed the map and continued deeper.

But this time, without a specific goal, he moved forward much slower.

But it’s also much more detailed.

As he went deeper and deeper, he gained a lot of knowledge.

Many of the spiritual herbs and spiritual beasts he had seen in books in the past were finally seen alive in reality.

He doesn't refuse anyone who comes, and he takes all the spiritual beasts, spiritual herbs, spiritual materials, etc. he sees in his bag.

But to his regret, perhaps because of the proximity to Jiantao's residence, the surrounding area had been raided long ago, so that he didn't see a single Rank Two spirit beast.

He also wanted to try his hand at Rank Two spirit beasts. Of course, the main combat power was A-15 and A-16.

After all, except for some Rank Two talismans and a set of iris invisible needles, his Rank Two methods are really lacking.

Can't blame him.

After rushing to the Foundation Building in just over ten years, it is completely normal to lack Rank Two means.

Moreover, there are very few Rank Two spell inheritances in Fangshi. Wang Ba has gone to see them, but unfortunately, a few of them don't match his compatibility. It comes obviously.

The reason why he wanted to leave the station was to see if there were any such resources in the outside world.

After all, after entering the Foundation Building, no matter how fast the practice speed is, it will take a lot of time, which means that it is still necessary to learn the Rank Two spells.

Of course, if the acquisition process is really dangerous, then there is no need.

…

A journey of more than a hundred miles does not take much time for Wang Ba now.

Although he wasted time searching all the way, he soon came to a mountain stream.

Across the mountain stream, Wang Ba could vaguely see the fleeting silhouette of a giant beast in the towering forest on the opposite side, which was obviously much higher than the surrounding area.

His face could not help but become slightly solemn.

Opposite is the 'Musen Island', one of the three dangerous areas surrounding Jiantao's station.

The tall trees stand out among the surrounding forest, like an island in the forest.

Hence the name: Musen Island.

There are many Rank Two spirit beasts among them, and some people have even seen the existence of Rank Three spirit beasts among them.

Because there is a natural formation within it, once you break in, you will easily fall into it and be unable to get out.

The other two dangers are similar.

Therefore, both the former Jiantao Sect and the later Tianmen Sect could only enclose the territory as a forbidden area and did not dare to break in easily.

Fortunately, these spirit beasts seem to be trapped by this natural formation. Except for the occasional spirit beast that luckily escapes, it basically has no impact on Jiantao's station.

The two sides also maintained the trend that the well water does not violate the river water.

Naturally, Wang Ba didn't have the courage to break in. After looking across the mountain stream for a while, he took out the map again and pondered it carefully.

The three dangerous areas almost surrounded Jiantao's resident, but each left a long and narrow gap between them, like a passage, so that the people in Jiantao's resident could also go to the outside world through this passage.

According to the map of Yan State, after leaving the siege of the three dangerous areas, you will encounter a large number of mortal cities within a short distance.

In addition, there are scattered gathering places for Independent Cultivators, as well as ‘ghost markets’ that open from time to time.

The so-called ghost market is a special kind of market where Independent Cultivators appear from time to time in order to avoid the sect monks' investigation, but at the same time ensure the availability of intercommunication, and then disappear in a blink of an eye.

According to Wang Ba’s knowledge from some travel notes in Jiantao’s residence, the countries under the rule of the Chu Dynasty had the most number of this form of market.

Just because of the turbulent current situation, it is difficult for a stable Independent Cultivator market not to be secretly swallowed up by the big sects as fat.

Out of self-preservation, there are more ghost markets like this.

Although the real good things in the ghost market are definitely not as good as the sect's treasure trove, there are also treasures with Rank Two or even Rank Three flowing out.

Rank Four treasures have even appeared in the ghost market hosted by top monks.

Wang Ba is not that greedy. If he can find a few Rank Two treasures that he can use, he will be satisfied.

After careful consideration, he finally turned back and took a detour, avoiding the 'Musen Island' and flying towards the deeper passage.
