The Martial Saint who slays demons starts with refining insects

Dali 1347, Qianyang 4th year

Lingnan Prefecture, Bailu County, Yuncang Town

It was the height of summer, and the furnace-like sun had been in the sky for seven days, making people sweat profusely and unbearable in the heat.

Thunder rumbled, and the wind blew violently. Layers of black clouds covered the sky, and the gloomy pressure came down. The big raindrops fell down, and in a blink of an eye, they became a rain curtain.

"It's finally raining."

Under the thatched eaves, the rain fell along the straw curtains in a line, and the dripping splashed muddy water and hit the feet of a thin and pale young man under the eaves.

Su Yan didn't care about the muddy yellow mud, and his eyes flickered a little, very bright.

He turned back to the thatched house, took down the straw raincoat and hat from the wall, and put them on.

Su Yan was only fifteen or sixteen years old, with a pale face like white paper and a thin body.

Even with the worn-out raincoat on his body, his thin figure could still be seen.

After putting on the raincoat, he stuffed a torn fishing net into the backpack beside him, picked up the brightly polished hatchet beside him, and put it on the wooden sheath at his waist.

He looked up at the sky, which was as gloomy as the night.

The rain curtain covered the Yunling Mountain not far away, and the undulating mountains seemed like a huge python lying across a hundred miles.

He strode into the rain, and the thin figure under the raincoat gradually moved away, and walked quickly towards the mountain.

Yuncang Town is adjacent to the 800-mile Yunling Mountain in the south, with dense old forests, like a maze.

It is adjacent to the 600-mile Bailu Lake in the north, with countless tributaries, like a nine-bend bay.

The mountains and rivers support the large and small villages in Yuncang Town, as well as hundreds of thousands of people in the town.

There are many treasures in the mountains and rivers, as well as precious fish and animals, magical plants and exotic herbs. It is not easy to get them. Hunters, fishermen, and mountain herders make a living from them.

‘The mountain rain is bone-chilling cold, and the mountain road is rugged and difficult to walk. No wonder Second Uncle Xie repeatedly warned us not to go into the mountains in the rain. ’

The big drops of rain blurred my eyes, and the muddy mountain road became difficult to walk.

Su Yan stepped into a mud pit with each step, but his eyes were firm as he hurried towards Yunling Mountain.

The reason why mountain herders can survive is not because of their great abilities, but because they know where the dangers are and where they should go and where they should not go.

He is a mountain herder. Although he has only been doing it for five months and four days, he knows a thing or two about what he should know.

However, he has to go this time.

It is not because he is blinded by profit or greedy for the treasures in the rain.

But he wants to turn over a new leaf.

Before May, he was still a law student preparing for the civil service exam.

He was studying hard at midnight, but he didn't expect that in order to save people, he would travel to the body of a young man named Su Yan from Yunqian Village.

His mother died of illness at an early age, and in order to save her, the family was left with a large debt.

Seeing that the tax period was approaching and he had to pay back the debts of those ruffians, his original father took a risk and went up the cliff to collect stone ear grass, but he didn't expect that his body would be gone.

After a few times, this is how Su Yan lived again.

The sound of rain crackled, and the old trees in the forest shook their heads and made strange creaking sounds.

The cold gradually penetrated through the raincoat and spread to his back.

Su Yan tightened his raincoat, wiped the rain off his face, identified the direction, and rushed towards a path.

The hatchet on his waist was already in his hand. There were many bushes and branches on both sides of the path, which had to be cut off before passing.

'The bushes are lush and no one has walked through. No one should have discovered that place. ’

The situation on the road made him feel a little relieved.

He hurried along the way, and the muddy mountain road made him fall several times, and he was covered in mud.

The inside and outside of the raincoat were already completely wet.

Even so, Su Yan refused to stop.

Finally, the bushes in front of him moved away, and suddenly opened up, and two mossy rocks came into view.

The rocks formed cracks, and a stream flowed out from the cracks, gathering under the rocks, forming a small pool of four or five square meters.

The fish in the pool emerged and exhaled, and a string of small pearls was gathered.

Su Yan's eyes lit up, and he took out the broken fishing net from the backpack.

However, he did not take action, but quietly hid to the side of the pool, and hid in the bushes with the raincoat.

Su Yan was motionless, holding his breath and staring, like a stone.

The rain hit his body, soaking his linen clothes, and the coolness caused goose bumps all over his body.

He clenched his teeth and controlled himself not to tremble. The knuckles of his fingers holding the fishing net turned white.

‘I have traveled thousands of mountains to search for treasures, but I am still a withered bone in the mountains’

‘The lives of mountain goers are cheap. They all exchange their lives for treasures with the mountain masters. If I can’t wait for the Yinshui centipede today, I am afraid that a cold will kill me. ’

Colds need to be treated, and treatment costs money.

But he has no money.

Su Yan is fighting for a chance to turn over.

When it comes to the beginning, who doesn’t want to tinker with something new to find a way out?

But as soon as this idea came up, it was completely dispelled.

Not to mention that he has no capital, the world is difficult. A lowly mountain goer can be suffocated by the mountain money and head tax alone.

More importantly, warriors are the heaven in this world.

‘When the strength of an individual is far superior to that of an ordinary person, a small mountain club in a city can suppress all the mountain villages for 200 years.’

In such a world, it is too difficult to make a name for yourself.

Su Yan’s heart sank as he recalled the scene where a big man from the small mountain club suppressed the wild beasts in the mountains.

He could walk hundreds of meters in three or two steps, and with a light shout, a four or five-meter-long black wolf phantom rose from his body.

With just a flick of his finger, the six-meter-long vicious tiger that had killed hundreds of hunters and mountain herders was knocked down.

When only one person had such strength, he knew that no matter how many ordinary people there were, they could not turn the tide.

‘The lower class people are just leeks. If they want to turn over, they have to practice martial arts! ’

A perfect poem, a post, a content, a 6-9 book, a forum!

The sound of rain gradually faded, and the scattered sounds in the forest gradually became smaller.

“Rustle”

Su Yan immediately held his breath and stared at the pool when a subtle sound came.

The moss and grass soaked in water rustled, and a dark purple flashed quickly between the cracks in the rocks.

Su Yan tensed up when he heard the sound, and immediately stared with his eyes, only to see the dark purple thing crawling out from the moss and grass in the cracks in the rocks.

What a strange centipede!

The centipede was three fingers thick, and its feet were as long as a forearm. Its fine arthropod legs were like thousands of black needles, clinging to the rock moss.

[Yinshui centipede (not yet entered)]

[A centipede that gradually acquires magical properties from an ordinary insect that inhales and exhales vital energy. It lives in water and appears after rain. It is good at swimming and can be used as medicine.]

[Can be refined]

Su Yan concentrated his attention, and the information about the Yinshui centipede appeared in front of him.

The three bright words "can be refined" made his eyes light up and he was overjoyed.

After waiting for several months, going back and forth in this mountain, and adventuring to see many poisonous insects, he finally saw a species that can be refined.

The two tentacles of the Yinshui centipede shook slightly, and suddenly it jumped into the water like an arrow.

Before the fish in the water could react, half of its body was broken, and a black fish that was as long as a forearm and almost as big as the centipede was bitten by the centipede.

However, it stopped moving in an instant, and a black line appeared on the fish's body.

'It's now! ’

Su Yan immediately threw out the broken fishing net in his hand. This was a fishing net he bought from an old fisherman for 100 coins.

After patching it up, he barely made the big fishing net whole, which was only three or four square meters in size.

Fortunately, it was not used to catch fish, but to catch insects.

The fishing net fell into the water, startling the Yinshui centipede.

A stream of black poison spit out and fell on the edge of the bushes.

In less than a few breaths, the weeds that were caught had dried up a little.

Su Yan looked at it with fear, but he exerted force in his hands and pulled up the Yinshui centipede and the fishing net.

The centipede's thousand feet were originally its sharp weapon for climbing the rock wall, but at this time, because of its too many hands and feet, it was tangled with the fishing net and tangled in the mud.

The Yinshui centipede was not big, but it was very strong. It rolled in the mud and broke the fishing net a little.

Seeing this, Su Yan picked up a crooked stick beside him and hit it.

He used a lot of strength. When Uncle Xie was driving him up the mountain, he told him that all foreign objects were more difficult to deal with than ordinary objects.

Even if it was a strange insect, it could not be easily subdued by one or two sticks, so he was told to be extremely careful when he saw it.

After three or five sticks, there was a bang bang sound, as if hitting a hard-shelled coconut, and the Yinshui centipede curled up into a ball, and its struggle gradually weakened.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, there was a green insect tripod with three legs and two ears. The legs were long insects and the ears were evil insects. On the body of the tripod, there were thousands of evil insects lingering, ferocious as if alive, as if they were competing to devour.

The insect tripod hummed, and Su Yan's eyes flickered.

'It's done'

Seeing that the evil insect tripod exuded an aura like the ancient universe, the Yinshui centipede was like an ant, not daring to move at all.

Su Yan reached out and touched the Yinshui centipede, but saw a stream of light, and then sank into the cauldron, and then the information appeared in front of him:

[First-level insect master: 1/100]

[Insect world: 1 cubic meter]

[Mountain driving: 94/100 (beginner)]

[Yinshui centipede 1/100 (newborn)]
