It's clear that the people at Wanbaoge have put their hearts into this; they've marked all sorts of things about these dangerous places, even specifying the highest-ranking demonic beasts that inhabit them.
"Let's go to the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range first..."
Jiang Che muttered to himself, memorized the route to the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range, then transformed into a streak of light and soared into the sky, heading straight towards the location of the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range.
The map records show that the most powerful demon beast in the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range is only at the peak of the fifth rank, which is equivalent to his current peak Nascent Soul level. Therefore, there will not be too much danger in going to the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range to hunt demon beasts and collect crystal cores.
The other dangerous places are inhabited by sixth- or even seventh-tier demonic beasts, who dominate their respective regions.
Having just arrived, Jiang Che didn't want to take any risks right away. He planned to proceed cautiously, first acquiring a few key entries to merge, and then upgrading [Different Kings] and [Sonic Wave Technique] to the purple rank before considering anything else.
After leaving the Great Wall, Jiang Che rode his sword, soaring into the clouds. The sword's shadow transformed into a streak of light, sweeping across the clouds and heading straight for the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range, which was 100,000 miles away from the Great Wall.
.....................
After flying on his sword for an hour, around noon, Jiang Che finally arrived a thousand feet above the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range.
He spread his divine sense and scanned every blade of grass and tree within a radius of five thousand miles, observing the situation of the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range.
As far as the eye could see, there were only ruins and broken walls everywhere, and the desert and Gobi were filled with yellow sand, with only a few scattered tree branches.
Within a radius of ten thousand miles, there was no sign of human habitation.
The Yunzhong region is vast, mostly desert, and is not suitable for human survival. The population is already sparse. In addition, the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range is home to all the demonic beasts within a radius of 100,000 li, which often prey on humans. Naturally, there is no trace of human activity here. Only a few cultivators occasionally come here to train.
· ·····Requesting flowers· ··
The outer perimeter of the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range is mostly barren peaks, with steep terrain, crisscrossing ravines, high mountains and deep valleys, and towering cliffs.
On the mountain peak, jagged rocks and withered grass sway in the breeze; birds have vanished from the mountains, leaving only desolation and bleakness.
Deeper in, there are continuous, towering peaks and valleys, stretching into the clouds.
Withdrawing his divine sense, Jiang Che sheathed the Jinghong Sword and controlled his body to slowly descend, stepping onto this barren and desolate land.
Jiang Che did not deliberately conceal his presence, and was immediately spotted by the wolf pack active on the perimeter as soon as he landed.
"Roar!"
The wolves let out a series of piercing howls, baring their teeth and claws as they pounced on Jiang Che, their eyes filled with greed, clearly coveting him.
The flesh of demonic beasts is a great tonic for human cultivators, and eating it can be equivalent to several months of arduous cultivation, which is very beneficial. Conversely, the flesh of human cultivators is also a great tonic for demonic beasts, with many benefits.
Humans and demons are inherently opposed, which is why they have been fighting each other for thousands of years and it has been difficult for them to coexist peacefully.
These demonic beasts were only second-tier demonic beasts, and they had not even developed intelligence. Driven by their instincts and desires, they naturally did not notice the powerful aura emanating from Jiang Che, and therefore had no fear of him. They all transformed into a whirlwind and rushed towards him.
Jiang Che pointed a finger, and the sword energy materialized into a sharp sword beam. The golden light shimmered brilliantly, and in a flash, it wiped out the wolf pack, leaving not even a trace of flesh or blood behind. They simply vanished into the world, leaving only the lingering smell of blood in the air as proof of their existence.
..... ..... ....
Having dealt with the reckless wolves, Jiang Che continued his journey deeper into the heart of the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range without stopping.
These demonic beasts were only at the second level of cultivation and had not even developed crystal cores. They were completely useless to Jiang Che, and only gave him a bunch of messy, useless secondary entries.
As Jiang Che ventured deeper into the heart of the land, he encountered several third-tier demonic beasts, all of which he beheaded with a single sword strike.
Wherever they went, rivers of blood flowed; as the sword flashed, corpses littered the fields.
Third-tier demonic beasts are equivalent to Foundation Establishment cultivators among human cultivators. They have developed a certain level of intelligence and have nurtured demonic beast crystal cores within their bodies. The next step is what is commonly known as demonic beast inner cores, which are excellent materials for both weapon crafting and pill refining, and have numerous uses.
Jiang Che accepted them all, intending to use them to improve his weapon-refining skills in the future.
After an hour of fighting, Jiang Che's clothes were spotless, his white robes were as white as snow, and he had already obtained more than a dozen crystal cores of third-tier demonic beasts.
"It's time to go deeper in and take a look. Hopefully, it won't disappoint..."
Shaking off the bloodstains remaining on the blade of the Jinghong Sword, Jiang Che's figure flashed, and with a few quick movements, he arrived in front of the three main peaks of the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range.
...............................
Fifteen minutes ago,
In a valley, a tall, slender girl with purple hair and a longbow in her hand, her face veiled by a light veil, gazed solemnly at a massive silver-winged demonic eagle ten miles away, its body radiating monstrous demonic flames and soaring with outstretched wings. Her eyes were full of vigilance as she spoke in a cold voice.
“Silverwing Demon Eagle, I have come here only to retrieve the books that the Thousand Caves left behind, and I have no ill intentions…”
The girl was none other than Jialuo, the little princess of the Thousand Caves City in the past.
Five years ago, monsters ravaged Thousand Caves City. At the last moment, Jialuo's father chose to perish with Thousand Caves, perishing in the vast sea of fire. He instructed her to find the Thousand Caves Books that had been taken away by the monsters.
Having witnessed her father's death, Galo harbored a deep hatred for all demonic beasts. That's why she chose to join the Great Wall Guard and began a large-scale hunt for demonic beasts to improve her cultivation, hoping to one day fulfill her father's dying wish.
Over the past five years, Galo has hunted down countless monsters that inhabited the Cloud Desert and also retrieved some of the Thousand Caves Books that had been lost elsewhere.
Recently, the Great Wall has been peaceful. Jialuo felt the guidance of the strange object left to her by her father, which is why she risked coming to the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range and going deep into its heartland, hoping to retrieve the books lost in the Thousand Caves.
Before entering the valley, Galo had been staking out the outer perimeter for three days and three nights. During those three days, he did not sense the presence of the Silverwing Demon Eagle and assumed that it had gone out to hunt for food. That is why Galo decisively ventured into the ravine.
Unexpectedly, the Silverwing Demon Eagle was extremely cunning and had already discovered her whereabouts. It had been deliberately hiding its tracks these past few days in order to lure her into its trap.
Now that she has ventured deep into the territory of the Silverwing Demon Eagle, escape will obviously not be easy. She can only hope to intimidate the enemy by using her reputation as a member of the Great Wall Guard.
These demonic beasts dwelling in the Cloud Desert had all heard of the Great Wall Guards, and many of them had even been hunted down by them. The same was true for the Great Roc and its companions, led by the Silver-Winged Demon Eagle.
Although she has now broken through to the late stage of the Golden Core realm, she is clearly no match for the Silver Winged Demon Eagle at the peak of the fourth rank. After all, demon beasts are born with unique advantages: their bodies are tough and their defense is unparalleled. Among cultivators of the same rank, it is difficult for any cultivator to steadily suppress a demon beast.
…………………………Man.
130: A hero saves the damsel in distress, receiving gratitude from the purple-haired mature woman, Galo! Slay the Silver-Winged Demon Eagle!
"No malicious intent?"
"When you hunted down my Roc clan, didn't you seem to have no ill intentions?"
"Cut the nonsense!"
"This day next year will be your death anniversary, go to hell!"
A mad, bloodthirsty glint flashed in the Silverwing Demon Eagle's eyes. It spoke in human language, appearing completely insane.
Galo had hunted down countless descendants of its Roc clan when it was at the Great Wall. Now that the other party had delivered himself to its doorstep, the Silver Winged Demon Eagle naturally wished nothing more than to eliminate Galo.
The conflict and grudges between the Roc clan and the Great Wall Guards have been brewing for a long time, and cannot be explained in just a few words.
If it were to let Jialuo leave without any reason today, it would be a disservice to the many predecessors of the Dapeng clan.
The Silver-Winged Demon Eagle spread its wings and soared into the sky, its massive body piercing the clouds and hovering thousands of feet above the ground, stirring up endless gales that instantly enveloped the boundless void within a thousand miles.
A fierce wind howled, biting and piercing, while demonic flames surged, devouring souls and spirits.
Affected by the strong wind, countless rocks tumbled down the valley, and dead trees were all snapped in half, stirring up a lot of flying sand and stones, and dust flying everywhere.
The ground cracked open, revealing deep, bottomless ravines. The earth began to tremble violently, and the majestic mountain peaks swayed precariously, as if they would collapse completely at any moment.
"Violent!"
The Silver-Winged Demon Eagle let out an extremely loud cry that shook the universe, spreading far and wide, echoing endlessly.
Galo frowned slightly. Shocked by the powerful sound waves, she felt a sharp pain in her soul and quickly shut down her five senses.
Then he quickly drew his bow, a purple arrow flashed, poised to be released, its power astonishing, as if carrying unparalleled, earth-shattering force!
The moment the Silverwing Demon Eagle swooped down, Gara also released his longbow. The arrow emitted an extremely dazzling purple divine light, carrying boundless power, and crashed down on the Silverwing Demon Eagle with overwhelming force!
The arrow pierced the air, tearing apart the void, and grew taller with the wind, instantly leaping from five feet to three zhang in size, becoming unmatched.
A hint of disdain flashed in the Silverwing Demon Eagle's eyes. Fearlessly, it swooped down, carrying endless fierce winds, and attacked Gara.
Although the purple arrow light did look quite intimidating, with an aura as deep as the abyss, the Silver-Winged Demon Eagle was completely unconcerned.
Its cultivation level is at the peak of the fourth rank, even stronger than Gara. In addition, its physical body is strong and its defense is unparalleled. Basically, no cultivator of the same rank can break through its defense, so it is naturally fearless.
"Boom!"
The moment the arrow collided with the silver-winged demon eagle, a deafening roar echoed throughout the valley, lingering for a long time and shaking the world.
Impacted by the aftershocks of the explosion, the nameless, desolate mountain, over a thousand feet high, collapsed completely, countless rocks tumbled down, and the earth began to tremble violently.
The valley, stretching for over a thousand miles, vanished in an instant, dust billowing and sand filling the sky.
Within a thousand miles, the sky and earth changed color, dark clouds covered the sun, a fierce wind raged, and a storm was imminent. The scorching sun was obscured by the dark clouds, and the sound of rolling thunder resounded everywhere, with lightning flashing and thunder roaring across the land.
A fierce wind blew away the light veil covering Jialuo's face, revealing her unparalleled beauty, and made her purple hair dance wildly, her robes fluttering in the wind.
Galo's pretty face paled slightly, and she involuntarily took a few steps back, her fingers trembling slightly.
Clearly, unleashing such a powerful attack had put considerable pressure on her and was not a pleasant experience.
Facing the Silver Winged Demon Eagle, a beast a level stronger than himself, Gara naturally dared not be careless in the slightest and immediately used one of his trump cards.
However, it seems that the results are not particularly ideal.
Although the Frostblossom Bow is incredibly powerful and is a high-grade Earth-rank spiritual weapon, its effectiveness was limited by her insufficient cultivation level. It only resulted in a few more bloodstains on the Silverwing Demon Eagle.
To unleash the full power of a high-grade Earth-rank spiritual weapon, a cultivator must at least reach the Nascent Soul stage.
It seems that given the current situation, there's no way things can be resolved amicably today, and she has no choice but to resort to other trump cards.
"Very well, you have successfully angered me!"
"I will kill you!"
Seeing the cave below him razed to the ground, the Silver-Winged Demon Eagle was furious, its eyes like knives, glaring at Gara, who was ten miles away, and it was so angry that it was almost going crazy.
Few demonic beasts are proficient in formations; they cultivate their own bloodline abilities. The Silver-Winged Demon Eagle's bloodline is that of the ancient Golden-Winged Roc, possessing a trace of its bloodline and cultivating one of the demonic attacks inherited from the Golden-Winged Roc.
Naturally, he was also unfamiliar with formations and hadn't set up any formations around his cave, which is why it was easily destroyed by Jialuo.
If this gets out, how will the Silver Winged Demon Eagle survive in the monster world?
If word got out that a human cultivator, who was a level below him, had razed his cave to the ground, he would probably be laughed to death by those high-level demon kings!
Although Galo's arrow was indeed incredibly powerful, it didn't cause much damage to it, only inflicting some superficial wounds.
Knowing that the human cultivator before him was no match for him, the Silverwing Demon Eagle gradually lowered its guard and became increasingly unrestrained.
"Suffer to death!"
The Silver-Winged Demon Eagle flapped its wings in the air, and the four elements of earth, water, wind, and fire manifested. Flames surged to the sky, scorching the heavens and boiling the earth. Giant waves roared, blotting out the sun and sky. Gale-force winds raged, and the void within a radius of a thousand miles began to distort. Suddenly, hard rocks more than a hundred feet high rose from the ground, surrounding Gara and blocking her escape route.
The giant waves of flame intertwined, mutually reinforcing and restraining each other, manifesting strange phenomena, carrying endless demonic flames, and instantly bombarded Gara, who was ten miles away!
Galo's eyes narrowed, alarm bells rang in her mind, and she sensed a deadly threat from death.
She knew that she had nowhere to hide now, and if she couldn't forcefully withstand the attack from the Silverwing Demon Eagle, she would probably perish here.
