Beast-Taming Reconnaissance, the Cuckoo Cries Blood
The Kong Household has now opened up a trade route from Peacock County to Bifang Commandery City. The Kong Household caravan travels to the county twice a year to conduct various trades and transactions.
One time was at the end of the year, when he went to the county town with the Lineage's tax collection team.
One such mission was in the middle of the year, where a batch of resources, materials, spiritual objects, and goods produced in Peacock County were escorted to the county seat and handed over to the Second Elder and others for sale. At the same time, resources, spiritual objects, and goods that the Second Elder and others purchased in the county seat that Peacock County needed were transported back to Peacock County.
It wasn't the time for the Kong Household's caravan to travel to the county town, but after receiving Kong Wenxuan's message, the Kong Household immediately organized a team to travel to Bifang Commandery City to help him purchase the necessary goods and supplies.
Furthermore, the Second Elder and Fourth Sister had already received the news and had purchased the goods and supplies he needed in advance, waiting only for the Lineage team to bring them back.
With his entire Lineage serving him, Kong Wenxuan no longer needs to do many things personally.
So, a little over a month later, the Lineage sent someone to deliver a batch of supplies he needed.
First, there was a batch of "Four Spirits Command," one of which, a Third Tier "White Tiger Command," was prepared for the surrendered Third Tier Black Tiger Demon Beast.
Although the Third Tier black tiger Demon Beast appeared to have surrendered, Kong Wenxuan still decided to use the Third Tier "White Tiger Command" to completely subdue and bind it before he could finally put his mind at ease.
Otherwise, no one knows whether this surrendered Third Tier black tiger Demon Beast might suddenly turn against them at any time, causing enormous damage and destruction.
Besides this Third Tier "White Tiger Command", there are more than a dozen Second Tier "Black Tortoise Command" and "Azure Dragon Command", as well as dozens of First Tier "Black Tortoise Command", "Azure Dragon Command", and "Vermilion Bird Command".
After obtaining these "Four Spirits Command", Kong Wenxuan first put the surrendered Third Tier black tiger Demon Beast into the Third Tier "White Tiger Command". Then, according to the map he had recorded, he ran around the "South Lake Mountains" and subdued a batch of First Tier and Second Tier beasts.
The main targets are snakes, turtles, frogs, fish, and Demon Beast that can live underwater. In addition, a small number of magical birds have also been subdued as a precaution.
After spending more than a month subduing these cannon fodder beasts, Kong Wenxuan returned to the vicinity of "South Lake" and released these beasts from the "Four Spirits Command" one by one, refining the "Concentric Mirror," magical Law Artifact capable of remote detection and information transmission, into the bodies of these beasts.
Then, these beasts were placed in the "South Lake" and ordered to roam and explore the South Lake.
In addition, he also attached the "Concentric Mirror" Law Artifact to the few demonic birds he had subdued, and then released them to fly around in the sky above "South Lake" to observe the situation of the lakes, islands and other places below.
Kong Wenxuan hid on the shore of "South Lake" and used the "Concentric Mirror" Law Artifact to observe the results of these beasts' travels and explorations in various places in the sky and underwater of "South Lake".
This is a kind of risky exploration method, hoping to find the stronghold of the Demon Race race or traces of the Du Household cultivators in this "South Lake" through these beast taming and exploration Law Artifact.
However, Kong Wenxuan stayed on the shore of "South Lake" for more than six months. The beasts he sent out died one after another in "South Lake". Apart from discovering that there were many Third Tier and even higher -Third Tier Demon Beast in "South Lake", he made no other discoveries.
Neither Demon Race stronghold nor any trace of the Du Household members were found.
For a moment, Kong Wenxuan even wondered if the Third Tier black tiger Demon Beast had misunderstood him, or if it had deliberately led him astray.
However, after he released the Third Tier black tiger from the "White Tiger Command" several times, he repeatedly signaled it to take him to the location of the "Cuckoo Demon Race". Each time, the Third Tier black tiger led him to the shore of "South Lake".
No matter how far he went from "South Lake", after he gave the signal, the other party would always lead him back to "South Lake".
This only made him more certain that his guess was correct.
With the ten-year deadline given by Bifang Commandery drawing ever closer, Kong Wenxuan was already considering whether he should simply report "South Lake" and let the Bi Household send people to search for it themselves.
Perhaps he couldn't find the Demon Race stronghold in "South Lake," but Bi Household sent a few Purple Mansion, Golden Core cultivators, or even Nascent Soul True Lord, they could easily find the Demon Race stronghold in "South Lake."
Kong Wenxuan's mind raced with thoughts, but he gradually suppressed them.
Even before the final ten-year deadline, Kong Wenxuan still wanted to find the Demon Race's stronghold using his own abilities.
Moreover, he now has another method, but it's somewhat risky, and he's unsure whether he should give it a try.
Finally, he looked at the "Bifang Jade Token" bestowed upon him by the Bifang Commandery. According to the information left inside, as long as he had this jade token, even if Fifth Tier Demon Race attacked, it could protect him for a period of time until the Bi Household army came to his aid.
There should no longer be any Fifth Tier Demon Race in these "South Lake Mountains", and there may not even be Fifth Tier Demon Beast. Otherwise, when True Lord Bi Household killed that Fifth Tier Demon Race that had just successfully transcended the tribulation, he would not have refrained from taking action.
As long as there are no Demon Race or Demon Beast of the Fifth Tier or above, he will be safe with this "Bifang Jade Token".
Having made up his mind, Kong Wenxuan did not hesitate any longer. He continued to send out various beasts to explore different parts of "South Lake," and at the same time, he summoned the "Cuckoo Feather Boat Cuckoo Feather Boat," boarded it, and began to fly and cruise on "South Lake."
At the same time, he also urged the "Cuckoo Feather Boat" to condense and manifest the image of a "Cuckoo," which flew and roamed in the air, emitting the sound of Cuckoo cries!
Chirp! Jiujiu...
The cries of Cuckoo, as if Cuckoo were crying blood, echoed across South Lake as he piloted his "Cuckoo Feather Boat."
This was the last method Kong Wenxuan could think of: to use the "Cuckoo's bones" to forge the "Cuckoo Feather Boat," manifest the "Cuckoo image," and urge the Cuckoo to cry, thereby summoning, or rather, provoking, the Du Household cultivators and the Cuckoo Demon Race.
If the "Demon Race stronghold" is truly located in this "South Lake," if the Du Household cultivators, and even the Cuckoo Demon Race, are indeed here, and can hear the "Cuckoo's cry" from the outside world...
Kong Wenxuan bet they wouldn't tolerate such provocation and might even attack him first.
At that time, the location of the Demon Race's stronghold will naturally be exposed.
However, doing so is somewhat dangerous, as it exposes oneself to a sneak attack from the Du Household cultivators and the Cuckoo Demon Race, and no one knows what kind of attack they might launch.
If Kong Wenxuan didn't have the "Bifang Jade Token" capable of withstanding Fifth Tier attacks, he would never have dared to attempt this.
