Monster Riot, Racial Hatred
The deaths of more than a dozen Body Tempering Realm disciples, along with the supplies in their Storage Rings and the equipment on their bodies, represented a windfall. However, Zhuge Xiang and the others only picked out a few useful Magic Artifacts each, leaving the rest in Zhuge Xiang's possession for safekeeping, to be distributed together upon returning to the Sect.
The appearance of Dugu Ming and those Body Tempering Realm Disciples, while infuriating due to their fratricidal conflict, also allowed Zhuge Xiang and the others to truly understand their own combat capabilities. In particular, Hua Nongying and Niu Geng, whose cultivation had not yet reached the Body Tempering Realm, were initially thought to be a hindrance by both Zi Xiang and Zhang Kuang. However, they proved their abilities through their actions and achievements, demonstrating that they were no less capable than the Body Tempering Realm disciples.
After World War I, Zhang Kuang even took the initiative to propose that Niu Geng and Zi Xiang each receive a share of the spoils from this operation, instead of just half a share. Lu Yuling and Zhuge Xiang did not object to this proposal, and Zi Xiang, being alone, had no grounds to object.
Cautiously, Zhuge Xiang and his group continued deeper into the territory of the Demon Wolves. Although Zhuge Xiang was in a weakened state, with all their attributes reduced by 50%, the trust in each other's strength actually emboldened them to challenge stronger and more numerous Monster Beasts. Moreover, even with their attributes reduced by 50%, Zhuge Xiang still had the ability to protect himself against an ordinary Rank 2 Low-grade Demonic Beast. As for Dugu Ming, the group tacitly refrained from mentioning him again. Zhuge Xiang himself knew that Dugu Ming's attack on them was clearly because he had seen him take out the Ghostly Flash Steps martial arts Secret Manual in the Martial Arts Pavilion and mistakenly believed that he possessed the Yin Spirit Jade. No wonder he had attacked.
"According to the map, if we continue for another half a day, we'll be able to leave this forest and reach a Plains, which is the core territory of the Demon Wolf Tribe. Once we reach the Plains, we might even encounter Three-Star Demon Wolves," Lu Yuling said, unfolding the map in a clearing in the forest.
This map was found in Dugu Ming's Storage Ring. It records the distribution of Monster Beast in the Endless Mountain Range. With this map in hand, it is much safer to train in the Endless Mountain Range. Its value is self-evident. Mountains, rivers, forests, Plains, hills and Canyon, all kinds of terrain make up the Endless Mountain Range that stretch for 1,800 miles. Looking at the map, it gives people a sense of awe.
"It's impossible for us to deal with a Three-Star Monster Beast. To be safe, let's stay in the forest and not rush into the deepest part of the Demon Wolf Tribe," Zhuge Xiang said to the Human Dao, looking at the distribution on the map. No one objected to Zhuge Xiang's decision.
At the border between the forest and the Plains, Zhuge Xiang and his group lingered in this area close to the heart of the land. Although the probability of encountering wolf packs was relatively small, it was safer, and they rarely encountered Demon Wolves of Three-Star or above.
One by one, the Demon Wolves were killed by Zhuge Xiang and his companions. For the One-Star Demon Wolves, only their hearts were taken, but for the Two-Star Demon Wolves, not only were their hearts taken, but also their Wolf Claws, fangs, and fur. These were all materials that could be used to forge weapons and armor, and they collected them all. After several days of continuous fighting, Zhuge Xiang and his companions reaped a very rich harvest.
For others, the harvest was only the heart and materials of the Demon Wolves, as well as combat experience and proficiency in Skill usage. But for Zhuge Xiang, not only did he gain Experience Points, but he also got quite a few items. Although these Demon Wolves generally didn't drop anything good, the sheer number of Demon Wolves killed by the Heavenly Extermination Sect these days meant that a few good items did indeed drop.
First, Zhuge Xiang's Experience Points have reached 100,000, getting closer and closer to the 150,000 experience bar. Second, Zhuge Xiang also obtained dozens of pieces of equipment, but unfortunately, the attributes of these pieces of equipment were not very good. When no one was around, Zhuge Xiang cleared them out of his Bag Space one by one.
Having possessed the Super Game System for over half a year, Zhuge Xiang vaguely understood that the more levels of monsters he killed that were higher in level, the higher the Experience Points and the greater the drop rate of items. Moreover, the greater the chance of obtaining top-tier items. For example, in recent days, he had killed at least several thousand Demon Wolves and other types of Monster Beast, but only three items had actually dropped that were worth looking at.
"Knockback" is a Skill Book that requires the Fifth Layer of the Body Tempering Realm to learn. Although Zhuge Xiang can learn it now because of the Skill Orb, his spare Skill Points were used on Ghostly Flash Steps. Zhuge Xiang can only wait until he breaks through to the Body Tempering Realm Second Layer before he can learn it.
Explosive Arrow Crafting Recipe: This is a crafting recipe for arrows. Once successfully crafted, the arrows will not only have greater attack power, but also feature an ingenious design that causes them to explode upon impact, scattering debris onto surrounding targets. Compared to Wolf Fang Arrows, Explosive Arrows are stronger. However, unfortunately, they cannot be retrieved.
The last item that caught Zhuge Xiang's eye was a Four-Star magic Magic Artifact, the Divine Wood King Cauldron. The small, Purple-Black cauldron emitted a strange fragrance. It was made of some unknown wood and was carved with lifelike reliefs of the five poisonous creatures: Venomous Snakes, Toads, Spiders, Centipedes, and Scorpions.
Zhuge Xiang gave this item to Niu Geng, who was overjoyed. The effect of this Divine Wood King Cauldron was similar to that of the Yin Gu Pot, but was there any comparison between Four-Star Magic Artifact and One-Star Magic Artifact?
This was the Nine Heavens since Zhuge Xiang his group descended the mountain. They were still roaming the forest, slaying one Monster Beast after another. However, in the last two days, the number of other types of Monster Beast in the forest had suddenly increased.
Looking at the map, I saw that around the territory of the Fox Tribe Demon Wolf Tribe, there were also territories of the fox demons and Eagle Tribe. It seemed that due to the sect missions these past few days, the number of Demon Wolves had decreased sharply, so the surrounding Fox Tribe and Eagle Tribe felt they had a chance to take over the territory and were slowly infiltrating.
With Piercing Arrow drawn taut from the Hundred Refinements Bow, the sharp arrow shot out, killing a wounded Two-Star Low Grade Eagle. The Zhuge Xiang fell to the ground. Compared to the Fox Tribe and Wolf Tribe clans, this Eagle, which could fly, was a greater threat. If Zhuge Xiang hadn't had the Piercing Arrow to attack from a distance, he and his Zhuge Xiang would have been sitting ducks for these Eagle Tribe.
A noisy sound suddenly rang out, growing louder as it approached. Zhuge Xiang, who had just severed the Eagle's steel talons, looked in the direction of the sound and saw a group of about two hundred Asura Sect Disciple, both men and women, the youngest only seventeen or eighteen years old, and the oldest twenty-five or twenty-six. They all had panicked expressions on their faces and were running frantically toward this place. The direction they were coming from was the heart of the Wolf Tribe's territory, the Plains.
"What's going on?" Zhuge Xiang and the others looked at each other, shaking their heads in astonishment. They clearly didn't understand what had happened. There were about two hundred disciples, most of whom should have been at least at the Body Tempering Realm. Why were such a force rushing over here in a panic?
As the group of animals ran closer and closer, through the gaps between the trees in the forest, Zhuge Xiang and the others could see a large Demon Wolves and Fox Demon behind them, stretching as far as the eye could see. Looking up, they heard sharp cries, and at least a hundred Eagles were circling in the sky, waiting for their chance to strike.
"How is this possible? It's one thing for the Demon Wolves to riot, but why are these Fox Demons and Eagles also helping the Demon Wolf Tribe?" Upon seeing these Monster Beasts of demon beasts, Zhuge Xiang and the others' expressions changed drastically. They finally understood why these hundreds of disciples were scrambling to escape. With the Monster Beasts from the Three Great Clans joining forces to riot, it would be strange if they didn't flee.
"These Monster Beasts in the Endless Mountain Range are, to some extent, specifically trained for disciples to gain experience. Powerful Fairy and demonic Monster Beasts exceeding the limit will be wiped out once they appear. Therefore, the Monster Beasts in the Endless Mountain Range are very hostile to humans, especially to our Asura Sect Disciples. It seems that the Monster Beasts of the three races have formed Alliance this time," Lu Yuling said as she turned to run away, thus clearing up the doubts of Zhuge Xiang and the others.
No wonder. The Monster Beast under the Endless Mountain Range are, to put it bluntly, raised to be killed. It's normal for these Monster Beasts to hate humans, just like when the three great Fairy attacked the Asura Warship. However, now is not the time to lament these things. When Zhuge Xiang and the others saw this horde of Monster Beast, they reacted quickly and turned to flee for their lives.
