Chapter 148 Kuiyin Mountains

Two days later, Lin Xuan stopped in front of a mountain range.

Compared with Yanzhou, Youzhou's area is more than ten times that of Yanzhou. In addition to densely populated cities, there are also poor mountains and rivers.

These places are inaccessible to people, but they are often haunted by venomous snakes and beasts, and even monsters that can manipulate the spiritual energy of heaven and earth are often seen.

The Kuyin Mountains in front of us is one of them.

Cultivators often come here to hunt. The bodies of monsters can be used to make weapons, and the inner elixir can be refined into elixirs that improve one's skills.

Of course, the monsters are ferocious, and there are not a few cultivators who have fallen here.

Lin Xuan was suspended in mid-air, pondered for a moment, took out a jade tube slip from his arms, injected his spiritual consciousness into it, and started reading.

He bought this from a market he passed by, and it contained information on the distribution of monsters in the Kuiyin Mountains.

After a while, Lin Xuan took back the jade tube slip, identified the direction, and entered the mountains from the south. According to the jade tube slip, there should be a monster called the Moon Demon Spider in this direction.

With my current cultivation level in the middle stage of foundation building, it shouldn't take much effort to deal with this top-level monster.

Lin Xuan held the jade pendant in his hand. When he was in the Biyun Mountain Medicine Garden, it had once restrained the third-level monster. However, Lin Xuan later conducted experiments, and this magical effect never appeared again.

"It seems that I still know too little about this rare treasure!" Lin Xuan said to himself while playing with it.

It's a bit of a pity, otherwise I can absorb the souls of monsters at will. Unlike now, I have to defeat the monsters first and restrain them before I can activate the jade pendant to absorb them.

While flying, Lin Xuan let go of all his consciousness. The Kuiyin Mountains was also a very dangerous place for cultivators. He didn't want to become food in the mouth of a monster by not paying attention.

Half an hour later, Lin Xuan had flown deep into the mountains. Along the way, his eyes were opened.

A python that is more than ten feet long, and a strange bird with a wingspan of more than several meters. However, these are not monsters yet, but just variations of some prehistoric beasts.

Lin Xuan was naturally not interested. He did not stop along the way and after flying for dozens of miles, he landed in front of a small canyon.

After taking a look at the terrain, it was exactly the same as what was described in the jade tube slip. Not far ahead was the entrance of the Ghost Moon Spider's cave.

Suddenly, Lin Xuan's expression changed. He seemed to have discovered something and released his spiritual consciousness.

After a brief scan, he sighed and found that a monk had already arrived here first.

A trace of hesitation flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes, but then he took out a Hidden Spirit Pill refined with green liquid of red damask grass from his arms. He put it into his mouth and used the magic of demon imitation, and Lin Xuan turned into

The image of a middle-aged man with a slightly thin body and unremarkable appearance.

Then he took a step forward.

Soon we arrived at the entrance of Guiyue Spider's cave. As expected, the situation was the same as what we could scan with our spiritual consciousness. There were three monks standing there, muttering about something.

After seeing Lin Xuan, the three of them were stunned for a moment, and then showed expressions of surprise. One of the monks in yellow clothes came over and cupped his hands: "Fellow Taoist, please."

Lin Xuan also returned the gift. This person looked like he was a casual cultivator, but his cultivation was not weak and he was in the early stage of foundation building. The other two were also cultivators in the foundation building stage.

"Do fellow Taoists also come here to hunt Ghost Moon Spiders?"

"Yeah." Regarding this, Lin Xuan felt that there was no need to hide it and admitted it frankly.

"It's just right." The monk in yellow said happily: "The three of us, like fellow Taoists, can just form a small alliance to deal with the Ghost Moon Spider."

"Team up?"

Lin Xuan was stunned. As far as he knew, the Ghost Moon Spider was not a gregarious monster. There was only one in each nest. It was only a first-class high-grade monster, which was equivalent to a practitioner of the Great Perfection of the Spiritual Ball. As a foundation-building stage

Earth masters can be easily dealt with, so wouldn't it be unnecessary to form a team?

"Fellow Taoist, I don't know..." After seeing Lin Xuan's expression, the monk in yellow was not surprised and explained eloquently.

After hearing what he said, Lin Xuan's city couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

It turned out that the three people in front of them also came here based on the information in the jade tube slips they bought in the market.

It should be noted that although there are a large number of demonic beasts distributed in the Kuiyin Mountains, compared to the vast area of ​​the Kuiyin Mountains, the territory is still vast and the beasts are sparse.

Whether you can meet monsters here depends entirely on luck.

Sometimes, you can encounter them just after entering the mountains. Sometimes, you can wander around there for several months and find nothing. It is also common that you find nothing.

Moreover, even if you meet a monster, it may not be suitable for you!

For example, for a monk in the agile stage, what he wants to hunt is naturally a first-level monster. But if he is unlucky and encounters a second-level or even a terrifying third-level monster, wouldn't it be like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth?

For hundreds of years, things like this have happened frequently.

Later, some monks who successfully hunted back from the Kuiyin Mountains recorded what they saw and heard about where there were monsters and where there were dangers. They initially passed them on to their nephews and their friends to watch, and then gradually spread them out.

It is indeed a lot more convenient than the headless stumbling around before, but it is a pity that the information is incomplete.

After an unknown number of years, finally, a powerful cultivation chamber of commerce paid a high price to collect all these materials, and asked experts to sort them out and create a map of the Kuiyin Mountains.

Although it is very expensive to sell, the monks who come here also know what is important and what is important, and each one has a share, which has brought huge benefits to the Chamber of Commerce.

After all, with the map as a guide, it will be much easier to hunt monsters here.

Of course, the map cannot be said to be 100% accurate. First of all, it only marks about one-third of the Kuyin Mountains.

This place is so big that for thousands of years, no monk has ever penetrated deep into it, because it is said that the farther you go inside, the more powerful the monsters become.

In the deepest part of the marked area, there have appeared third-level low-grade monsters, monsters that can compete with the early-stage monks of the Dan Condensation.

There are even rumors that, in fact, if you go further inside, it is not that no monk has been there. It is said that that person is a cultivator who has reached the Great Perfection stage of the Dan Condensation stage. He is only one step away from the legendary Nascent Soul realm. It is no wonder.

,Art masters are so bold!

However, not long after he entered, he came out in a panic. He was seriously injured and could not recover. His earth-shattering cultivation was completely ruined.

This man was extremely depressed and told his experience with lingering fear.

It turned out that as soon as he entered, he encountered a third-level low-grade monster. To others, this kind of monster was extremely terrifying, but with his cultivation level, he did not take it lightly.

The expert was about to show off his power, but what happened next scared the shit out of him. He was surprised to find that there was not just one third-level monster that he had never seen before, but...

…group.

This has never been seen before. According to common sense, low-level monsters may live in groups, but when they reach the first-level high-level, this situation is very rare.

And the level 2 monsters and above are all level 3 monsters that are solitary and live in groups?

Just thinking about it is incredible and makes all the monks sweat, because according to that person, there are hundreds of them in a nest. If it is true, I am afraid that even if the old monsters in the Nascent Soul stage encounter them, they will only run away.

Already.

From then on, no one dared to go deep into the areas not marked on the map. Everyone guessed that since there were three-level monsters living in groups inside, there would be fourth-level monsters that could rival Nascent Soul monks, possess spiritual intelligence, and be able to transform into human form.

Beasts, maybe there are some in there.

No one would come here to seek death after being full.

Fortunately, the marked area alone is enough for the monks to hunt.

Of course, even in these places, there are inevitably errors and omissions. After all, monsters will migrate, abandon their original caves, find a new residence, or be destroyed by a monk without having time to inform the merchant alliance.

In short, although the Merchant Alliance has invested a lot of manpower and material resources, it is still difficult to update the map in a timely manner.

Fortunately, less than 10% of it is wrong, and 90% of it is still correct.

After listening to the yellow-robed monk's words, Lin Xuan knew that he had just encountered a very unlikely mistake.

how to say?

It turns out that this is indeed the cave of the Ghost Moon Spider, but recently, this monster has been upgraded... Just like monks can improve their cultivation level through practice, monsters can also advance through their unique methods.

Promoted from Ghost Moon Spider to Moon Demon Spider.

This annoyed the three monks who arrived first, because the Moon Demon Spider is a genuine second-grade monster beast, and its strength can rival those of practitioners who have reached the Great Perfection in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

With the strength of the three of them, they wanted to deal with this monster, no more, no less, just a little bit short, so they left like this, but they were unwilling to do so.

I don’t know if the monks who have been here are deliberately concealing it. In short, there are only a few places where the second-level monsters are active, and they are all very deep. Unless they have successfully condensed the elixir, ordinary monks would not dare to enter.
