Longevity starts with strengthening the internal organs

Nie Jingnian said: "I have searched here more than once and found nothing."

Zhao Ya said nothing.

In fact, he had already expected this result. Since even the important landmark mountain peaks were drawn so vaguely, the directions on the map were most likely wrong.

He thought for a moment and then asked: "Where are the mountains in the four corners of the county?"

"Mountain peaks? There are both northeast and northwest corners. The northeast corner is the remnant of Wanshou Mountain, and the northwest corner is connected to the Wuxiang Mountain Mountains. It is the largest mountain system in Yunxiao County."

After this month of exploration, Nie Jingnian already knew the geography around the county town well.

"Go to the northeast corner first."

If the map orientation is upside down, then the northeast corner is the most likely one.

Nie Jingnian had no objection.

The two of them were walking through the mountains and forests.

At the beginning, Nie Jingnian deliberately slowed down, worried that Zhao Ya would not be able to catch up.

But once he started running, Nie Jingnian was very surprised to find that Zhao Ya's speed was not slower than his own.

He was even slightly faster than himself when walking through the mountains and forests.

This success aroused Nie Jingnian's competitive spirit.

He stepped closer and unleashed his strength from all four realms, just to see if Zhao Ya could still catch up.

But after running for a few minutes, Nie Jingnian found that Zhao Ya had been following him unhurriedly, showing no sign of difficulty at all.

Only then did Nie Jingnian realize that he was no match for Zhao Ya in terms of speed alone.

He simply gave up the idea of ​​a showdown and slowed down a bit.

In this way, the two of them soon arrived at the northeast corner of the county.

As expected, there are several peaks erected here, but they are not very high and belong to the remnants of Wanshou Mountain.

Zhao Ya and Nie Jingnian stopped.

Zhao Ya took out the map and looked at it carefully. After pondering for a moment, he pointed at a certain mountain peak.

"Go search around here first!"

Nie Jingnian had no objection, and the two of them disappeared into the mountains one after the other.

Not long after the two of them entered, the forest rustled, the vegetation swayed, and then they saw a group of people appearing at the foot of the mountain.

The leader was dressed in a black outfit, revealing a slim and graceful figure. His hair was tied up high, revealing a bright cheek underneath. She was actually a woman.

She raised her eyes and studied the mountain peaks in front of her.

"Are you sure this is where it is?"

"Reporting to the eldest lady, according to the information provided by the insider, this is the right place." Someone behind him said respectfully.

"Okay, let's go into the mountains."

The woman was very crisp and clear. With a wave of her hand, the group of people also entered the mountain.

At this time, Zhao Ya and Nie Jingnian were trekking in the mountains.

Although the mountains here are not steep, it is not easy to find a cave in this vast forest.

Fortunately, Zhao Ya and Nie Jingnian were not in a hurry, but slowly searched for one peak after another.

At this time, the sun was shining in the sky. Zhao Ya and Nie Jingnian stopped by a stream, took out the dry food they had brought with them, and had a simple lunch in the stream.

After eating, Zhao Ya jumped up to a big tree and carefully observed the surrounding situation.

"How about it?"

After Zhao Ya fell back to the ground, Nie Jingnian asked immediately.

"There are a total of seven peaks here. We have checked four of them in the morning. The remaining three are at angles to each other. I feel that the crypt is the most likely to be among them."

Nie Jingnian's spirits perked up when he heard this.

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go now."

Zhao Ya did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he turned back and glanced at the mountain road he came from with some doubts.

"What's wrong?"

"fine."

Zhao Ya shook his head to dispel the doubts in his heart, and then took Nie Jingnian away from the creek and entered the three peaks.

Not long after they left, the woman and others arrived.

"Miss, someone just stopped here." Someone checked by the stream and reported.

The woman was unmoved, "Before we caught this insider, he had sold several maps, so it's not surprising that someone would follow him. If he gets in the way, we'll just kill him."

"Yes, I understand."

………….

If you look down at these three peaks from the air, you will find that they form a standard triangle.

In the middle is a depression where lush mountain forests grow and are sparsely visited.

Zhao Ya and Nie Jingnian quickly shuttled through the mountains and forests, and soon reached the center.

There is actually a small temple standing here, but it has been in disrepair and has long been abandoned.

When Zhao Ya and Nie Jingnian entered the temple, they saw that half of the main hall had collapsed, and the statue on the shrine was even missing its head.

The small temple was not big, so the two of them quickly inspected it, but found nothing.

"Are you sure this is here?" Nie Jingnian asked.

"It's true, who would build a temple in a place like this when they have nothing to do, so there must be something fishy here."

Saying that, Zhao Ya jumped up to the shrine and knocked down the clay statue in one go.

as expected.

A deep cave appeared under the statue.

Nie Jingnian couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw this.

"found it!"

"Well, let's wait and go in."

After saying that, Zhao Ya jumped down from the shrine and made some arrangements at the temple gate and around it.

"Walk!"

The two lit torches, entered the cave entrance, and walked forward along a winding downward slope.

It was very cramped at the beginning, but the further you went in, the more spacious it became, and in the end it was enough to accommodate a carriage.

At the same time, Zhao Ya also noticed that the air inside was fresh and moist wind blew from time to time. It was obvious that there was a place connected to the outside world.

Not long after, they came to a spacious stone hall, but the smell here was not that good. There was a pungent fishy smell in the air.

Looking at my feet, I saw that the ground was covered with gray-white feces.

"This is..." Nie Jinnian was about to speak.

Zhao Ya raised his finger to signal him to be silent, and then pointed to his head.

Nie Jingnian looked up and saw that the stone dome above his head was densely packed with bats.

Under the light, the eyes of these bats glow red. When they gather together, they seem to have covered the stone wall with a red carpet.

Nie Jingnian's scalp felt numb when he saw it.

These bats have obviously been alienated. Although they are not large in size, there are too many of them.

Nie Jingnian gathered his energy and followed Zhao Ya slowly inside.

Unknowingly, Nie Jingnian had subconsciously taken Zhao Ya as his master and obeyed his command in every move.

This stone hall was extremely deep, and the two of them walked for three or four minutes without leaving this area.

At this moment, a gust of fishy wind suddenly blew in front of them, and with a puff, the torches in Zhao Ya and Nie Jinnian's hands were blown out.

At the same time, the stone hall was shrouded in a strange red light, and the bats seemed to become very excited and flew away from the stone wall.

This sudden turn of events made Zhao Ya and his wife change their minds, but they were both warriors who had been practicing for many years, so they quickly calmed down.

Zhao Ya saw a raised earth slope next to him, so he leaned forward and ran closer to cover his tracks.

At the same time, Nie Jinnian also followed, and then whispered in great astonishment.

"Fuck, what the hell is that?"

Zhao Ya raised his eyes and felt a chill down his spine.

I saw a bat that was as big as an ox flying to the stone hall and then hanging upside down on the stone wall.

Those little bats kept flying around it, making hoarse and unpleasant sounds from time to time. The whole scene was extremely weird.

But what shocked Zhao Ya the most was the oppressive feeling this giant bat brought to him.

It was a kind of pressure that was breathtaking.

Even Lu Dingtai didn't feel this way.

Five realms!

This is at least a strange beast with five levels of strength.

Zhao Ya took a breath of air and almost blurted out "F*ck".

Nie Jingnian was naturally aware of the power of this bat, and his expression was also very ugly.

He thought that once he found the crypt, he would be able to capture the insect, but he never expected to encounter such a giant bat.

At this time, he was in no mood and just wanted to escape from here as soon as possible.

But Zhao Ya did not leave.

He observed carefully and found that when the small bats were flying around the big bat, they would fly close from time to time, swallowing something from the big bat, and even fight over it.

By this time, Zhao Ya had gradually adapted to the dim environment in the stone hall. He used his eyesight enough to finally see clearly what these little bats were fighting for.

They were insect eggs the size of quail eggs, attached to the body of this giant bat.

Zhao Ya finally realized it.

From the feces on the ground, it can be seen that this giant bat and these small bats have not been settling in the stone hall for a long time.

They were most likely attracted by the insects in the cave.

After all, zerg eggs are not only useful to warriors, they are also a rare meal for these alien beasts.

This also explains why a strange beast with the strength of the fifth realm appears next to the county city.

But the question is where did they come from?

These peaks are just the remnants of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain stretching here, thousands of miles away from the hinterland.

How did they get there?

A big question mark arose in Zhao Ya's heart, but this was not the time to dwell on it.

At this time, it was impossible to go back. He could only bury his doubts in his heart for the time being and made a gesture to Nie Jinnian, which meant that we should continue to move forward.

Nie Jingnian hesitated for a moment and saw that Zhao Ya was bending down and walking deeper into the stone hall, so he followed him.

The two of them didn't even dare to light torches on the road, and marched in extremely cautiously.

Finally, after traveling for another five or six minutes, a downward path appeared ahead, and the faint sound of gurgling water could be heard.

The two of them were refreshed and couldn't help but speed up.

But just when they were about to enter the passage, a fishy wind suddenly hit them from behind.

Zhao Ya knew something was wrong, stepped on his feet, and rushed forward with a leap.

The same goes for Nie Jingnian.

The two of them used all their strength and rushed towards the passage like arrows from a string.

But the fishy wind was extremely fast, and Zhao Ya felt a huge force coming from his back while he was in mid-air.

Zhao Ya suddenly straightened his waist, his Qinggong and body movements were running wildly, trying his best to offload the huge force coming from him.

But even so, he was still smashed and somersaulted several times in the air before he stumbled to the ground.

Then Zhao Ya felt his back was burning and his breathing was slightly unsmooth.

Only then did Zhao Ya see clearly what was hitting him.

It turned out to be just a piece of gravel.

The giant bat didn't even move. It just fanned a piece of gravel with its wings and it was so powerful.

If Zhao Ya hadn't been wearing treasured armor, this move would have seriously injured him.

But fortunately, we are out of danger for the time being.

Zhao Ya looked back and saw Nie Jinnian squatting not far behind him. He couldn't help but asked softly: "Brother Nie, how are you?"

"Ahem, don't worry, you won't die for the time being!"

With that said, Nie Jinnian took something out from his chest and threw it on the ground.

It was a dented iron plate with a stone inlaid on it, and it almost penetrated.

Nie Jingnian was in shock and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "Damn, this beast is really powerful. Shall we continue moving forward?"

"Well, we've already come this far. It's impossible to go back. I guess the zerg should be right in front."

Zhao Ya discovered that the giant bat attacked the two of him out of instinct. It entered a state of false drowsiness after returning to the stone hall.

This is a good opportunity.

As long as they seize the time, the two of them can take the opportunity to leave after getting the zerg.

Continuing down the road, you soon come to a corner.

After turning around, my eyes suddenly became clear.

An underground river appeared in front of us, and on the stone walls beside the river, there were many shining spots of light.

Those are the eggs.

Among these eggs, there was a female insect that was more than a foot long and as white as jade.

Zhao Ya and Nie Jingnian both had expressions of surprise on their faces.

This was actually an adult female insect, and it looked like it was still in its prime, with at least three or four years left to live.

Just such an adult insect is worth tens of thousands of taels of gold, and it is still highly valuable.

Zhao Ya and Nie Jingnian did not dare to delay. They took out the box they had prepared in advance, which contained the bait that the zerg liked to eat, and then placed it near the mother worm.

Just after laying a wave of eggs, the female insect lying there lazily smelled the fragrance and raised her head to take a look.

Zhao Ya and Nie Jingnian were already hiding behind a stone in the distance to observe.

You have to use this method to catch this kind of insect.

If you reach out and catch it by force, it is likely to frighten the female insect, resulting in a shortened life span and reduced production.

Fortunately, there were no accidents this time.

The female insect slowly climbed into the box after poking her head and observing it.

As soon as he entered, Zhao Ya rushed forward with a leap, tapped the lid of the box lightly, and then let out a long breath.

"It's done!"

Nie Jingnian was also full of excitement.

With this insect, not only will the supply of Qi and blood be replenished in the future, but some can even be sold to subsidize cultivation.

Nie Jingnian was even more embarrassed than Zhao Ya.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have thought about catching the jade butterfly to make money before.

Zhao Ya was also very happy.

Although the eggs produced by this alien insect do not contain as much Qi and blood as the dried meat, they are of high quality and are suitable for Zhao Ya to use now.

In particular, the output ratio is very high. You only need to feed the bait regularly to obtain insect eggs, which is extremely convenient.

"Let's go, get out of here before the giant bat notices it." Zhao Ya said.

The two hurried back.

But just halfway through, a sharp roar was suddenly heard from the stone hall ahead, causing the entire passage to tremble.

The two of them were shocked. After looking at each other, they quietly sneaked closer.

Then the two saw a shocking scene.

I saw a group of men in black holding giant nets, trying to capture the giant bat.

A woman stood aside, holding a long sword, watching coldly, and from time to time she would suddenly draw her sword to repel the giant bats trying to break through.

Both of their pupils shrank.

Because the strength shown by this woman is extremely strong, at least on the same level as Lu Dingtai and Nie Jinnian's masters.

In other words, he is at least a half-step fifth-level warrior.
