Chapter Five Hundred and Eighty Nine: First Exploring the Subcontinent Ground
Zhao Shoushou has always had two goals since he embarked on the road of spiritual practice. First, to go further on the road of spiritual practice smoothly. Second, unless he is forced to do so, he will not take risks easily and try to protect his own health as much as possible.
life.
The two seem to be contradictory, but in fact they complement each other. Only by ensuring the safety of life can we go further on the road of spiritual practice.
Of course, the premise of all this was established without any major conflicts or interests. Once the right opportunity comes, Zhao Shoushou has never been afraid of any risks.
"It doesn't matter, it is extremely difficult to improve the cultivation level in the golden elixir stage. Simply relying on retreat in the cave is simply not enough to meet the needs of cultivation improvement. It is also necessary to go out to explore. After all, the subcontinent is different from the overseas cultivation world.
Be careful in everything you do." Tian Huangshi, as a monk of the same rank who met by chance and had not a close friendship, has already fulfilled his duty.
"Thank you, fellow Taoist, for reminding me that Mr. Zhao has always taken his own life very seriously and would not joke around casually." After Zhao Shoushou solemnly expressed his thanks, he turned and left.
The underground city in the center of the earth is located on a fourth-level high-grade spiritual vein. The original creator was the ancestor of the Nascent Soul stage, who used his great supernatural powers to drive away three or five fourth-level monsters.
It can be seen from this that in a location with such abundant spiritual power, there will naturally be no shortage of some monster beasts on the ground, ranging from first-level low-grade to third-level mid- to low-grade.
The ancestor of Nascent Soul will only kill or expel fourth-level monsters when they appear. As long as it does not affect the normal operation of the underground city in the center of the earth, he will generally not intervene easily.
During the year-long period, Zhao Shoushou spent most of his time in the library. Naturally, there were some jade slips specifically recorded and introduced, and the monsters and forbidden areas living around him were also introduced.
Through the records in it, Zhao Shoushou had already made some judgments and had already chosen the target. It was a third-level low-grade black and white goat that had been entrenched near the underground city in the center of the earth for more than twenty years.
This goat is good at escaping, and its pair of sharp horns are indestructible. Its own combat power is not weak among its peers. In addition, the loot is not too much, its active attack is not strong, and it does not cause much damage to monks.
It is considered strong, and there are not many monks who come to encircle and suppress it on weekdays, so they can enjoy themselves here for more than 20 years.
Since Zhao Shoushou's goal is to have a certain in-depth understanding of the subcontinent, this black and white goat is naturally his first choice.
According to records, black and white goats like to eat all kinds of elixirs, and are naturally very good at searching and cultivating elixirs. A certain proportion of elixirs have been kept in the lair for a long time. If they are hunted, there should be a lot of harvest.
Now Zhao Shoushou can only hope that the black and white goats will still survive. The world of this subcontinent is naturally cruel to monks, and it is the same to monsters.
Whether it's a battle for territory between monsters or various natural disasters, their lethality is also considerable. According to the records in the jade slips, the last time a monk actually saw a black and white goat was two years ago.
Since we are traveling, we naturally have a backup target. Five hundred nautical miles northwest of the underground city in the center of the earth, there is a small lake with a diameter of no more than a hundred feet. There is a pair of third-level low-grade ruby toads in it.
The ruby toad is a mutated species of toad. Its most valuable thing is its special neurotoxin. Some shops in the underground city in the center of the earth produce and buy it all year round.
This special toxin seems to be transformed into a special raw material after being transformed by certain means, and then refined into elixirs.
Although the individual combat power of the Ruby Toad is not high, it is still a solid third-level low-grade monster. It is not easy to fight one against two, which is one of the reasons why it is used as an alternative target.
In addition to the high value of the toxins themselves, there are also some third-level low-grade water attribute elixirs growing here, which is also a huge amount of income.
"Zhao's luck has always been good. I hope this trip can bring a good harvest." Zhao Shoushou couldn't help but stretch his waist and enjoyed the sun bathing. This seemingly
Ordinary things seem quite precious and luxurious in the subcontinent.
Even for many ordinary people or low-level monks, they may not have the opportunity to enjoy such sufficient sunbathing throughout their lives.
These sighs quickly disappeared. After identifying the direction, his figure quickly disappeared and headed towards the target's lair of the black and white goat.
Although the jade slip described that there were not many obstacles and difficulties along the way from the dungeon in the center of the earth to the monster's lair, Zhao Shoushou did not dare to completely believe it or rest assured.
After all, the environment on the continent is constantly changing this time. Who can be sure that it will not change in a short period of time?
This kind of situation is too common here, so he didn't dare to be careless along the way. Fortunately, his luck seemed to be good, and he didn't encounter any unexpected situations.
"This area of mountains and hills seems to be the territory of the black and white goats. Relying on the complex terrain and being good at escaping, they can always successfully avoid all kinds of natural and man-made disasters. They have lived freely here for more than 20 years." Looking at the continuous mountains
, Zhao Shoushou couldn't help but sigh and have a headache.
This hilly area covers a vast area, with complex terrain, abundant spiritual energy, and lush giant trees standing tall. It is not easy to find black and white goats among them.
If the monster wanted to escape, it would be even more troublesome to pursue it. The situation here was obviously more complicated than he imagined.
Facts have proved that any monster that can survive in the subcontinent is not easy. Perhaps the right terrain is the Black and White Goat's greatest reliance.
"Since he likes to eat all kinds of elixirs, Mr. Zhao will pick all the elixirs here. I don't believe that a monster can wait forever." After thinking for a long time, a stupid but effective method appeared in his mind.
This didn't mean much loss to him. Even if the black and white goat wanted to escape in the end, the elixir here was still a good gain, and it was considered that he had never come here in vain.
What's more, considering the greedy character of the monster, it is obvious that it will not give up the elixir easily without suffering a major blow.
Perhaps Zhao Shoushou only needed to pick three or five third-level middle- and lower-grade elixirs from this vast area of mountains and hills to attract the angry pursuit of the black and white goats.
Now that he has a suitable strategy, considering Zhao Shoushou's character, he will not hesitate any longer. His figure has quickly disappeared into the jungle, and he is looking for some places with abundant spiritual power along the mountains. He will shoot quickly with his spiritual consciousness, and he will definitely
We won't let go of anything suspicious easily.
Zhao Shoushou is now like a giant gluttonous beast. He will not let go of not only third-level elixirs, but second-level and even first-level elixirs if he encounters them.
