Chapter 202

We'll have to find those things later before trying them out. For now, let's leave this place and find somewhere with people.

In this sparsely populated area, finding accommodation is a major problem, and she doesn't like sleeping in the wilderness.

"Then let's head in this direction!"

Yun Li looked around and finally decided to keep heading west; that way, she was sure she would find her way out. If she encountered magical beasts blocking her path, then...

"Hey, a good dog doesn't block the way!"

Just as she thought of this, before she had walked far, Yun Li discovered a huge magical beast blocking her way.

Facing this terrifying monster in the eyes of others, Yun Li didn't take it seriously at all and directly shouted.

"Human girl, who are you calling a dog?!"

The giant monster slowly stood up, its body reaching tens of meters in height. More importantly... it could speak human language.

The giant magical beast stared intently at the tiny figure before it. There was no trace of battle aura on her, and it was unknown how she had entered the depths of this Monster Beast Mountain Range.

As one of the kings of this Monster Beast Mountain Range, it never imagined that one day a human cub would dare to speak to it like that.

Even a human Dou Huang powerhouse would have to treat him with utmost respect.

That's practically suicide!

"Whoever blocks the way is a dog."

Despite sensing the terrifying aura emanating from the demonic beast before her, Yun Li remained unfazed, pursed her lips, and spoke bluntly.

She didn't want to stray from the right path, so she decided to stick to one direction.

"Court death!"

Upon hearing this, the Warcraft King instantly flew into a rage and wanted to devour the girl in front of him.

However, just as it was about to make its move, Yun Li, too lazy to waste words with it, directly hurled the Old Iron at it.

The monster naturally wouldn't take this mere piece of iron seriously. Its elemental aura protected its body, but the next moment it was struck by the greatsword, and its massive body flew backward.

"How is this possible..."

Looking at the Old Iron that had pierced its body, the giant monster was incredulous. It was one of the kings of this mountain range!

He was a being comparable to a four-star Dou Huang, how could he be killed in one blow...?

"I've always said that good dogs don't block the way, but right now I'm having a bit of a problem controlling my strength."

Yun Li leaped onto the monster's corpse, her fair, jade-like feet landing beside Old Iron, and pulled him up.

She had only just obtained the Power of Destiny the Hunt's Path at the Emanator level, and wasn't very proficient yet, but she insisted on courting death.

However, she would reluctantly accept such a large magical beast.

After collecting all the Monster Core of the magical beasts and the materials that could be used to forge swords, as well as some meat, Yun Li continued her journey.

The girl didn't encounter any more Warcraft Kings along the way.

However, there were still quite a few magical beasts blocking the way, and a considerable amount of materials and Monster Core were collected from them. It seems that not all magical beasts possess Monster Core, especially the lower-level ones.

It would be good if one out of ten magical beasts had Monster Core.

The energy inside the Monster Core in this world cannot be directly absorbed by people; it can only be obtained through alchemy and pill refining. It is also a very good material for forging swords.

After traveling for an unknown amount of time, Yun Li finally emerged from the Monster Beast Mountain Range and arrived at the town next to it.

"Finally out!"

Looking at the town that finally had people, Yun Li was in a great mood.

Next, we can go have a good meal, and then find out where this place is and what time of day it is.

This will help me plan my next actions and goals.

In addition, find a suitable place to try sword forging.

Although she hadn't given up on the sword-hunting mission, it seemed there weren't many weapons on the Dou Qi Continent that were worth her attention.

Even if the sword is not in a fixed shape, it is the same.

To complete all the missions, the main focus is on forging swords—finding the world's precious materials to forge them.

Although she could use Points to draw materials, she had already used up Points, and these materials were not enough to forge a hundred Precious Sword.

With these questions in mind, Yun Li carried the huge, heavy Old Iron on her back and strode into the town with her fair little feet.

When the girl entered the town, she found that many people were staring at her, mainly because she seemed out of place among the people around her.

This place is inhabited by a large number of mercenaries who rely on the Monster Beast Mountain Range for a living, but no one is like her.

And this outfit...

Although Dou Qi Continent has an ancient theme, it is not actually ancient, so Yun Li's outfit is not too strange.

But it depends on the location; there aren't many beauties like this here.

But Yun Li didn't care about the stares of others; she sniffed with her little nose...

There's something up ahead that smells delicious!

This caught the girl's eye, and with incredibly agile movements, she disappeared in the blink of an eye, before anyone around her could even react.

"We're selling Candied Hawthorn Skewers! Big and sweet Candied Hawthorn Skewers!"

In the Dou Qi Continent, there are Candied Hawthorn Skewers. In order to make Medusa happy, Xiao Yan bought a lot of Candied Hawthorn Skewers. Even when flying in the air, Xiao Yan did not drop the Candied Hawthorn Skewers in his hand.

Moreover, Candied Hawthorn Skewers truly deserve their reputation as a national delicacy that transcends time and fantasy worlds; even Queen Medusa loved them.

The middle-aged man, who was hawking his Candied Hawthorn Skewers, hadn't even realized that a cute girl had suddenly appeared next to him.

She was staring longingly at the Candied Hawthorn Skewers she was selling with her adorable big eyes.

"Qiongshi Bird Skewers!!"

Qiongshi Bird Skewers!

Yun Li, her eyes glued to the Candied Hawthorn Skewers, was practically drooling.

Although she had drawn quite a few Qiongshi Bird Skewers before, she had already eaten them all while traveling. After all, Yun Li was quite skilled at eating Qiongshi Bird Skewers; at first, she only ate one at a time, but then she simply started eating one skewer at a time.

She couldn't resist and ate it all as a meal.

So they finished eating in no time...

I never expected to see Qiongshi Bird Skewers so soon after leaving that mountain range. I'm so happy.

"Qiongshi Bird Skewers? What are those?"

The vendor selling Candied Hawthorn Skewers was taken aback, having no idea what the girl meant by "Qiongshi Bird Skewers." These Candied Hawthorn Skewers didn't look like bird meat at all.

Without waiting for the girl's reply, he started promoting his Candied Hawthorn Skewers.

"Little girl, this is Candied Hawthorn Skewers, not some kind of Qiongshi Bird Skewers. It's both sweet and sour, and tastes delicious. Would you like a skewer?"

"Good."

Seeing the Candied Hawthorn Skewers handed to her by the shopkeeper, Yun Li accepted them without hesitation.

However, when she saw the other Candied Hawthorn Skewers in the boss's hand, she thought of something else and took out a Monster Core with the least energy.

"I'll use this to trade for all the Qiongshi Bird Skewers, no, Candied Hawthorn Skewers."

I remember Monster Core were quite valuable in this world.

Even a level one Monster Core is worth four hundred to four hundred and fifty gold. Although in Yun Li's eyes, it's nothing compared to Qiongshi Bird Skewers.

Despite her formidable strength, Yun Li was unable to bring herself to commit robbery.

If you don't have any gold coins, then you can exchange them for Monster Core.

Anyway, she collected a lot of Monster Core, including that of the Demon King, which is a level six Monster Core.

"This is..."

The owner of the Candied Hawthorn Skewers stall was momentarily stunned by what Yun Li had taken out.

The people next to them immediately screamed in surprise.

"Monster Core! It's actually Monster Core."

Trading Monster Core for Candied Hawthorn Skewers? What kind of rich, stupid girl came from?

Although it's only a level one Monster Core, I wonder how many Candied Hawthorn Skewers I could buy with it.

How many monsters do they have to risk their lives to kill on the edge of the Monster Beast Mountain Range to have any chance of obtaining a single Monster Core?

I should have come and sold Candied Hawthorn Skewers too.

Should we change it?

Yun Li continued to ask questions.

She wasn't stupid, she just really wanted to eat Qiongshi Bird Skewers... no, Candied Hawthorn Skewers. Anyway, killing monsters didn't take much effort.

They were just randomly killed on the way.

She'll go exchange them for gold coins soon, and then she won't use Monster Core to exchange them anymore.

"Change!"

Realizing that Yun Li held Monster Core, the shopkeeper quickly gave all the Candied Hawthorn Skewers to the girl and ran off overjoyed with the Monster Core.

Chapter 5 Sister Ling Sha smells so good.

Seeing the vendor selling Candied Hawthorn Skewers run off with the Monster Core, Yun Li didn't care. In her eyes, there was only the Qiongshi Bird Skewers, which looked exactly like the Qiongshi Bird Skewers.

After getting all the Candied Hawthorn Skewers, she couldn't wait to take a bite and eat them.

It's sweet and sour, and the hawthorns are quite large.

But...

"It's different from Qiongshi Bird Skewers..."

I smacked my lips and found that although the two were very similar, there was still a difference in taste. I felt that the Qiongshi Bird Skewers were a little tastier.

This Candied Hawthorn Skewers can only be considered a lower-grade substitute for the Qiongshi Bird Skewers.

That's true. Although they are similar, they are ultimately different.

Candied Hawthorn Skewers are made with hawthorn berries and boiled rock sugar, while the fruit of the Qiongshi Bird Skewers grows on the bird itself.

The takin lives in symbiosis with plants, its tail laden with fruit. [Qiongshi Bird Skewers] is simply a string of fruit; the takin is not harmed during the preparation process.

They can't even tell whether it's considered meat or vegetarian.

Spitting out the hawthorn seeds, Yun Li quickly ate the rest of the Candied Hawthorn Skewers in a few bites.

Because she ate too much at once, her cheeks were chubby, and her mouth seemed unable to contain them, which was very cute.

Then he threw down the bamboo skewers, picked up the other Candied Hawthorn Skewers, and left the spot.

She needs to find a place to exchange some money first; she can't just use Monster Core to exchange, otherwise she won't be able to exchange them many times.

It's much more convenient to exchange them for gold coins; one Monster Core or some materials can be exchanged for a lot of gold coins.

However, the currency system in the Battle Through the Heavens World is a bit problematic. In the girl's memory, there seems to be only gold coins as currency, and later it is generally a barter system, such as Xiao Yan's preference for using pills for transactions.

However, most shops can't handle Monster Core, even level one ones, if they want to exchange them for gold coins. You'd have to find mercenaries or larger shops.

Monster Core have always been a necessity, so there's no worry about them not selling.

Most people selling Monster Core would definitely look for a safe way to do so, worried about being robbed or forcibly taken. After all, in most parts of this world, laws are secondary; it's essentially a dog-eat-dog world.

For Yun Li, it didn't matter whether she exchanged gold coins with mercenary groups or shops, because she wasn't afraid.

While eating Candied Hawthorn Skewers, the girl strolled around the town for a bit and got a general idea of what the town was like.

The town is called Qingshan Town.

It can be said that this is a complete mercenary town. Most of the people coming and going on the streets are mercenaries who make a living by relying on the Monster Beast Mountain Range.

Girls like Yun Li, fair-skinned and adorable, are rare here, if not nonexistent. After all, most mercenaries live on the edge, and you can't expect them to have much of a moral compass. A beauty like Yun Li is easily targeted.

Besides the mercenary groups, the only other thing famous about Qingshan Town is a pharmacy called Myriad Medicine Pavilion.
