Chapter 66: Obtaining the Best Spirit Insect

After resting for a while, they took out food to replenish their energy and then set off again.

However, they stopped and started along the way, and had to stop and rest every half a day. It was not until five days later that they reached the edge of the Shiwan Mountains.

As soon as they entered the Shiwan Mountains, Long Xuan saw a piece of ancient trees in front of him. The trunks were thick and tall, and the branches were lush and leafy, forming a green ocean. When the wind blew, he could smell the scent of grass and trees, and the spiritual power.

The spiritual power here is much richer than that of the market, and it is definitely a great environment for cultivation.

But no family dared to settle here. Although the cultivation environment is good, they will be the first to bear the brunt of the beast tide.

You must know that the Shiwan Mountains are really too big. Why is it called the Shiwan Mountains?

It is because there are more than 100,000 mountains here, and the mountains are connected to the mountains, and the area can be imagined.

It is said that the Shiwan Mountains span countless regions, and the Far West is just a relatively small one among the borders.

In the vast forest, there are countless powerful spirit beasts and unknown mysteries hidden.

It is no exaggeration to say that the overall strength of spirit beasts is much stronger than that of humans.

After all, most humans are born as mortals who cannot practice, and the small part that can practice needs to grow through acquired efforts.

But spirit beasts are different. They are all born with combat power, and all abilities are inherited from the innate, without the need to learn through acquired efforts like humans, and they are particularly fertile, with more than ten children in a litter.

If the spirit beast world was not a mess and had low intelligence, humans would never be the masters of this world.

In this case, no family dared to settle down in the Ten Thousand Mountains.

As soon as they entered the edge of the Ten Thousand Mountains, the group finally slowed down their pace and began to save spiritual power, no longer using spiritual power to rush on the road.

Entering here is already a dangerous area, and fighting may occur at any time, which does not allow them to squander spiritual power as recklessly as they rush on the road.

Everyone became cautious, looking around with vigilant eyes from time to time.

Ma Lao was the most cautious. He reminded them at this time: "Everyone, be careful. The danger in the Ten Thousand Mountains does not only come from spirit beasts. In many cases, various insects are more dangerous than spirit beasts, and they are even more difficult to guard against."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Compared with spirit beasts, insects may not be that strong. The main reason is that they are too small and difficult to detect. If you are not careful, you will be hit. Therefore, they are much more difficult to deal with than huge spirit beasts.

But the lethality of this thing is not proportional to its size. Once you are hit, you are really in danger of death.

"Ma Lao, we would be careful even if you didn't say it, but why is your face so pale? If you are not feeling well, it's still in time to go back now."

"When you get to the depths, it will be too late for you to go back. We can't send you back." Li Laodao looked at Ma Lao's pale face and kindly reminded him.

Hearing this, Long Xuan also subconsciously looked at Ma Lao's face. Sure enough, his face was now frighteningly pale, bloodless, as if he was dying.

This is definitely not the face of a normal person. There is definitely something wrong with Ma Lao's body.

He was fine just now, but suddenly he became like this. Long Xuan felt that he was not sick. There must be some sudden reason, and it was probably related to this forest.

"Really? I feel good?"

Seeing everyone looking at him in surprise, Ma Lao touched his face, suddenly felt dizzy, and then fell to the ground uncontrollably.

It was because he suddenly fell that everyone found that there was a big mosquito lying on Ma Lao's back. Its six legs were very long, and the needle in its mouth was inserted straight into his vest. At this time, its belly was so high that it seemed to explode.

Han Mei, the old woman who was closest to him, was actually a needle player. She shot the big mosquito down in time, which saved Ma Lao's life.

Seeing the big mosquito falling from his back, Ma Lao turned pale and murmured in disbelief: "How is it possible? I was obviously very careful."

Thinking that he had just reminded others in the tone of an elder, but he was caught in the trap, his pale face instantly turned red. This time he was really embarrassed.

"You reminded others with just these two tricks?" Zhang Ling smiled softly.

Long Xuan did not laugh, but showed a look of surprise at this time. This time he really experienced the horror of insects in this world.

In his previous life, he thought that the mosquito would not evolve the least.

If it did not evolve a toxin that could make people itch like crazy, would humans slap it to death?

It would be fine if it bit people and made them itch, but could it suck in one place and fly away? It didn't. A mosquito had to bite ten bags before it would stop. It would be strange if humans didn't slap it to death.

But it also evolved a buzzing sound when flying, and it was born with a tracker, as if it was afraid that others would not know where it was.

If mosquitoes had not evolved these characteristics, humans would simply ignore them. Who cares about that little bit of blood? Mosquitoes can survive.

The mosquitoes in this world are very evolved. They fly without making any sound. No one knows when they land on Ma Lao's back.

Moreover, the bites are painless and unaware, and only one needle hole is left.

However, it is precisely because the mosquitoes in this world are so evolved that it is difficult for people to detect that even a cautious person like Ma Lao was caught and almost sucked to death.

Long Xuan was shocked and quickly stretched his hand to his back to sweep it. After not sweeping anything, he moved to the middle of the team without making a sound.

In this way, if a mosquito attacks his back, his teammates behind him can find it in time.

No, a slightly smarter mosquito will bite the person walking at the back first. How could it fly to the center of the crowd? Isn't that waiting to be exposed?

Thinking of this, Long Xuan felt more secure.

Not only Long Xuan, but everyone subconsciously checked their bodies when Ma Lao appeared in this situation.

It would be better if he didn't check it. After checking it, he actually found a lot of problems.

For example, Zhang Ling, who had just mocked Ma Lao, looked down and saw a grass crawler lying on her ankle, with its mouth deeply embedded in her skin without her knowing it. She screamed at 800 decibels and blushed.

A leech had appeared on the little medicine boy's leg. It was found in time and stepped on several times, but it was not killed. This is also a master of nature that is not easy to kill.

They were all inexperienced and forced to hunt for the first time. As a result, even if they were careful enough, they still got into trouble.

At this time, Long Xuan finally understood why the casual cultivators were so poor. Even if there were treasures everywhere in the forest, not many casual cultivators dared to enter!

He glanced at the young man named Ma Wu in the team. At this time, he was the only one standing there calmly, with his hands on his chest, looking at the few people with disdain, without any intention of checking his body, and was very confident.

Long Xuan looked at him thoughtfully. Although the boy was dressed in simple clothes, he seemed to be very experienced here. Ma Lao and Li Lao Dao were older than him. Could it be that they were not as experienced as him?

The boy's words and deeds were not like those of a normal casual cultivator. Long Xuan had to be wary of him.

"Ma Lao, are you okay?"

Li Lao Dao helped him up and asked with concern.

"It's okay, it's just too much blood loss, take a blood-replenishing pill to make up for it."

Ma Lao took out a pill bottle from the storage bag, poured out a red pill from it, and slowly put it into his mouth. Not long after, his face turned red.

"Are you okay? Let's go if you're okay!"

"These little things are not fatal, but it's different when you go deep."

"When you get to the depths of the Ten Thousand Mountains, go back immediately. That's not a place you can continue to move forward."

Long Qilin looked at the casual cultivators with a serious look, and then continued to move forward.

A group of casual cultivators also hurried to catch up...

This was just a small episode. After another day, Long Xuan and others finally saw prey.

It was not a wolf or a jackal, but a group of white rabbits. They were cute, with soft white fur, and there were quite a few of them.

Seeing that everyone looked uninterested, Long Qilin had to explain: "If you want to hunt large spiritual beasts, you will be disappointed."

"You should know that this is on the edge of the Hundred Thousand Mountains. The large spiritual beasts on the edge have long been hunted by Gu cultivators, leaving only rabbits and mice that no one wants..."

"After the rabbits lost their natural enemies here, they relied on their strong fertility and multiplied more and more, and soon completely occupied the edge."

"Now there are rabbits everywhere, all over the mountains, so many that you can't kill them all."

"If we want to hunt large spiritual beasts, we have to go for several days at full speed."

Hearing this, everyone's face suddenly collapsed. It turned out that they still had to go for several days.

Although rabbits are also spiritual animals, there are reasons why some species have always been at the bottom of the food chain.

The only reason is because they are weak. This type of spiritual animal does not have any strong abilities, and the ancestors are not strong either, so the offspring can only become prey from generation to generation.

There are really no good spiritual insects on the rabbits, otherwise there would not be so many left here without anyone taking care of them.

Long Xuan immediately used the ability of the golden finger to check the progress of the group of spiritual rabbits.

In addition to the progress on the head of the spiritual rabbit, which represents its growth, the spiritual insects in the body will also show the progress.

But most of them are in the position of the spiritual core, which is the place where the spiritual animal stores spiritual power. The spiritual core of the spiritual animal is equivalent to the spiritual sea of ​​the Gu cultivator.

Some spiritual cores will parasitize spiritual insects, which are harmless to the spiritual animal. But most of the spiritual cores do not have spiritual insects, which can be said to have a very low explosion rate.

Even if a spiritual insect is accidentally exploded, it is almost all low-grade spiritual insects, and there are very few medium-grade spiritual insects.

For Gu cultivators who like hunting, spirit rabbits are not good stuff but they run very fast. The time spent on hunting and killing spirit rabbits is totally disproportionate to the gains. It can be said that the cost-effectiveness is extremely low, which is why there are more and more spirit rabbits here.

After scanning the area, Long Xuan didn't find a satisfactory target, so he killed a rabbit carrying a medium-grade spirit insect and prepared to eat meat.

Anyway, Long Qilin also said that there were only rabbits here and no large carnivorous spirit beasts, so the smell of his barbecue would not attract danger.

It was just a medium-grade spirit insect, which was not worth much even in the eyes of poor casual cultivators, so Long Xuan dug out the spirit core and spirit insect generously.

But he was the first person to open the business. Seeing that he had harvested a medium-grade spirit insect as soon as he came up, everyone was shocked and excited.

"Wow! Good luck, just hunted the first spirit beast and a medium-grade spirit insect exploded, a good sign!" Long Qilin laughed.

"No way! Good luck!" Long Xuan made a joke, and then said: "Since there are so many rabbits here, let's rest first before continuing on our journey."

"I haven't eaten fresh meat for so long, I'm almost tired!"

"Okay!" Long Qilin agreed: "I was thinking the same thing. Although the spirit rabbits are not good, the meat is good."

"And no matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat, right? If you're lucky, you can get a few medium-grade spirit insects, which is also a small fortune."

Since Long Qilin nodded in agreement, the other casual cultivators had nothing to say. They all went to kill rabbits with great enthusiasm, all looking very excited.

Long Xuan just killed the first spirit rabbit and a medium-grade spirit insect exploded, which gave them the illusion that the explosion rate of medium-grade spirit insects was very high, which also stimulated them and made them all enthusiastic.

However, reality soon gave them a blow. They killed a lot of spirit rabbits, and they were exhausted and panting, but only a few low-grade spirit insects exploded.

Especially Ma Lao, whose eyesight was as bad as ever, cleverly avoided all the correct options. Others at least had one or two low-grade spirit insects, but he didn't have a single spirit insect. At this time, he began to doubt his life.

The next few people no longer had any interest in hunting spirit rabbits. After eating barbecue, they were anxious to get on the road.

The reward of hunting spirit rabbits was seriously disproportionate to the effort. Who would be willing to take such a big risk to come to Shiwan Mountain once to harvest only a few low-grade spirit insects, which were not enough to cover the round-trip fare?

So in the anxious minds of the crowd, another two days passed.

On this day, after Long Xuan used the Life-Destroying Palm to kill a pink-haired rabbit, he grabbed its two big ears and lifted it in the air, laughing non-stop.

"You actually have the leisure to kill rabbits. What's so good about killing these things? There's nothing in their stomachs. Killing them is a waste of time. It's better to save some energy."

After seeing his actions, Ma Lao said.

Long Xuan smiled and put the pink rabbit into the storage bag. He casually responded: "Nothing, just use this little thing to practice palm skills. How about my palm just now? Did it surprise you?"

He laughed secretly in his heart at this time. How could this group of people know that this ordinary pink rabbit with negative combat power actually hides a top-grade spiritual insect in its body. It really gave him a big surprise.

Logically speaking, the rabbits here should not drop top-grade spiritual insects, but this pink rabbit may be a different species. The rest of the rabbits are white, only it is surprisingly pink. It may also be a mutant species.

In short, he really found a top-grade spiritual insect in this group of weak rabbits. Who would have thought of this.

I'm afraid that these teammates can't think of such a thing even if they break their brains.

Before Ma Lao could reply, Long Qilin interrupted and said, "Your palm strike just now was good. It didn't cause any skin injuries to the prey, but it killed it with one blow."

"It's really a powerful ability suitable for hunting. It doesn't damage the hide. A complete hide will be more valuable."

Long Qilin showed a bit of solemnity. In his opinion, this spiritual technique is very powerful, and it kills without blood. This is another spiritual technique he has never seen before, and he doesn't even know its name.
