"Find Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivator to go to the Fire Essence Mine and wipe out a nest of Fire Foxes."
"Find a formation master to escort the miners at the Spirit Stone mine for half a month!"
"To kill one hundred tuan fish in Frost Spirit Creek, Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivator is required."
On the street, shouts rose and fell in waves.
They all need to go near the mine to deal with the Demon Beast.
This is because the eldest princess issued a series of measures, using Spirit Stone to hire these cultivators to help, which relieved a lot of her pressure.
The Rogue Cultivator were quite happy about it. After dealing with these Demon Beast Demon Beast, they could sell some of the materials from them for money and also get Spirit Stone from Great Liang.
This is such a great deal!
So, the calls for fellow cultivators to join in slaying the Demon Beast never ceased.
However, these places all require Foundation Establishment cultivation level; Qi Refining Qi Refining are simply unwanted.
There were quite a few Qi Refining cultivators, but very few of them went to these mines. Even if they did, they all required being at the Qi Refining Peak. Su Mu was directly rejected by them.
The Demon Beast in this place are quite powerful, and it's not something that Qi Refining like them can mess with.
Su Mu looked around, but the Foundation Establishment cultivators' teams didn't include him at all, and the places Su Mu Qi Refining wanted to go didn't align with Su Mu's training goals.
After being rejected repeatedly, Su Mu took a deep breath and decided to go it alone.
After spending a Spirit Stone to buy a map of the distribution of Demon Beast around the Fire Essence Mine from another cultivator, Su Mu left the village.
The area within five or six miles of the village has already been cleared.
The fire essence mine is about 30 miles away from the village, not particularly far, but not particularly close either.
The reason the village wasn't directly stationed near the mine is mainly because such mines are teeming with Demon Beast.
It would be extremely unwise for Great Liang to establish itself in such a place at such a young age, as the region has only just begun to expand.
After carefully examining the map of the Demon Beast distribution for a while, Su Mu slowly arrived at the Fire Essence Mine.
At the very front, a mining tunnel had already emerged, with arrays protecting the entrance on both sides, and many cultivators guarding the entrance.
At a glance, it's clear that most of the people here are Foundation Establishment cultivators.
The sight of Su Mu, a Qi Refining Qi Refining, drew surprised glances from many Foundation Establishment cultivators.
I wonder what a Qi Refining cultivator like myself is doing here all alone. Is he hoping to find some kind of fortuitous opportunity?
Despite their thoughts, none of the cultivators paid any attention to Su Mu.
However, this was exactly what Su Mu wanted to do.
After avoiding the Foundation Establishment teams, Su Mu followed the map to a thicket where a Demon Beast called the Mountain Red should be. Although it was small, its strength was not to be underestimated.
Su Mu held his flying sword, his eyes wary of his surroundings.
However, after Su Mu searched the entire area, he still couldn't find any trace of Mountain Red.
There is no trace of Mountain Red living here.
Upon seeing this, Su Mu's expression immediately changed; he had been tricked!
He had just agreed to the princess's request for training, and he'd already been tricked as soon as he stepped out the door.
At this moment, Su Mu knew perfectly well that the Demon Beast distribution map in his hand was completely fake!
Depend on!
This is how I learned my lesson!
Su Mu put away the distribution map and glanced around. Suddenly, a red light flashed past in the grass beside him.
Su Mu caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of his eye, and his heart skipped a beat. He quickly dodged away.
Sizzle
With a soft sound, Su Mu saw that where the red light had entered, there was a small hole in the tree trunk, and black smoke was rising from around the hole.
Su Mu broke out in a cold sweat. If that thing had hit him, his entire body would probably have rotted away.
Turning around, I saw a fiery red venomous snake with a thin neck and a triangular head slowly raising its head from the grass.
The snake stood upright, reaching the same height as Su Mu.
"Die!"
When a snake stands upright and its body is as tall as you, it truly sends chills down your spine.
Su Mu immediately drew his sword and thrust it at the poisonous snake.
At this moment, Su Mu finally recognized the origin of the snake.
Vermilion Calamity.
It is entirely red, highly poisonous, and has a fondness for absorbing the energy of fire. It is skilled in fire and poison techniques.
"Bite!"
The Fallen Star Sword past and struck Vermilion Calamity's neck, only causing his body to sway slightly.
Su Mu's face turned pale upon seeing this.
My Fallen Star Sword is truly only good for running away; it couldn't even cut through the opponent's body with a single strike!
hiss!
Vermilion Calamity seemed to be provoked, and raised his head to spit a poisoned arrow directly at Su Mu.
These are arrows formed from condensed poison.
The moment the other person looked up, Su Mu sensed something was wrong and quickly recalled the Fallen Star. With a flash of starlight, Su Mu appeared behind Vermilion Calamity.
Immediately, Su Mu commanded Fallen Star to strike Vermilion Calamity directly on the head.
bite!
A crisp sound rang out, but the sword still failed to break through the defense.
Su Mu's face immediately turned ugly upon seeing this.
Vermilion Calamity was even more enraged and suddenly turned his head to bite Su Mu.
Su Mu tried to dodge in a panic, but this time he wasn't quick enough, and his right sleeve was bitten squarely.
In an instant, the venom spread along the clothes and up the body.
Su Mu hurriedly tore off the corner of his clothes, looking somewhat disheveled.
If he hadn't immediately tried to dodge after his attack, he would definitely have been bitten by the other party.
Vermilion Calamity moved with lightning speed; by the time Su Mu realized he needed to dodge, he had already been bitten.
To dodge an opponent's attack, you must react before they do.
Su Mu's face was pale, Fallen Star hovered in front of him.
Su Mu took a deep breath and lightly tapped the jade on the hilt of the sword with his finger.
The next moment, the Fallen Star flew out again.
It coiled around Vermilion Calamity's neck, and the next moment a white line of fire appeared on Vermilion Calamity's neck. Then Vermilion Calamity's snake body split in two, twisting and writhing wildly on the ground.
It continued to spray venom in all directions, completely destroying the surrounding trees.
Seeing this, Su Mu quickly dodged far away. After the Vermilion Calamity had completely stopped moving, he directed his flying sword to strike a few more times before he felt relieved.
After putting away the Vermilion Calamity, Su Mu found a place to set up a warning array, and then began to rest and recover his Spiritual Power.
While resting, Su Mu reflected on his shortcomings.
It's incredibly reckless to be unable to distinguish between genuine and fake distribution maps. If we accidentally wander into the territory of some powerful Demon Beast, we're doomed.
Another point is that when dealing with Vermilion Calamity, after cutting off his head, you should use Spiritual Power to directly annihilate his soul.
Otherwise, the other side is very likely to retaliate.
Powerful cultivators are able to ensure that Demon Beast are completely and utterly destroyed when they are killed, leaving no trace of them.
Unlike Su Mu, who killed the Demon Beast but the Demon Beast was still jumping around wildly, making it even more dangerous than when it was alive.
In addition, he currently has almost no means of killing enemies and needs to use the Jade Spirit Flame stored in the Fallen Star Sword. However, the Jade Spirit Flame can only be used by Su Mu about five times before it is exhausted.
Thinking about all this, Su Mu suddenly realized that he had far too many shortcomings.
