Chapter 2544: Chapter 934: Earth Treasure Rest Soil, Emergence of the Old Fiend (Part 3)
They share similarities with the herb harvesters of the Eastern Wasteland and the fishermen of the North Sea.
All of them venture deep into uncharted lands in search of precious items.
However, unlike the two who harvest herbs in the mountains or fish in the sea, the mountain seekers have higher requirements.
Not only do they need formidable strength, but they also must have outstanding knowledge, lest they miss out on unknown treasures after a hard journey into the Mist Wilderness.
Cheng Bai is one such mountain seeker.
His realm is not high, only around the Middle Stage Foundation Establishment, but he has impressive connections, being affiliated with the strongest among the Thirty-Six Cave Masters of Wind and Thunder Gorge, Master Ming Lei.
In the outer world, he is often not dared to be provoked.
But at this moment, he was extremely cautious.
In the Mist Wilderness, not only must he guard against ubiquitous poisonous mists and the unpredictable Gu Demons, but he also has to be wary of other mountain seekers.
Once his whereabouts are exposed, showing a flaw, others wouldn’t care about his background, killing for treasure is all too common.
With a Poison Avoidance Pill in his mouth and wearing Stealth Treasure Clothing, Cheng Bai advanced swiftly towards his target.
“According to the map taken from the last mountain seeker I killed, not far ahead in the Poison Dragon Pond, a seven-foot long tailless Alligator Dragon resides.”
“Alligator Dragons are common, but tailless Alligator Dragons are very rare.”
“Typically, such tailless Alligator Dragons appear due to being parasitized by Faceless Gu larvae, causing unbearable pain and itch, thus leading them to voluntarily sever their tails.”
Thinking of the Faceless Gu, Cheng Bai’s calm demeanor couldn’t help but harbor a few degrees of excitement.
Faceless Gu, one of the high-order Gu insects.
It’s renowned as a fighting class Gu insect, capable of rendering a cultivator’s form formless, transforming without a trace, providing excellent aid whether in battle or in fleeing.
If he could capture one, even just a juvenile, he wouldn’t worry about resources for cultivation to the Golden Core Period.
As for the sales channel, he had already inquired beforehand.
Master Ming Lei is currently cultivating a technique called “Flash Thunder Technique”, urgently needing the assistance of a Faceless Gu.
If he captures one, he could submit it.
With Master Ming Lei’s well-known generous nature, at the least he would receive abundant rewards, at most he would be taken under his wing, and his future achievement in the Golden Core Period would be assured.
“I must succeed!”
Cheng Bai raised the fork in his hand, it is a Lower Grade Magic Item specially used to capture tailless Alligator Dragons, borrowed from a trusted friend.
However, as he cautiously felt his way to the Poison Dragon Pond, he didn’t see any sign of the tailless Alligator Dragon.
“Is it asleep?”
“It shouldn’t be!”
“Right now is spring, regardless of going out to hunt or seeking mates, these are their most active seasons.”
Cheng Bai patiently checked, finally finding traces of crushed grass.
Indeed, it hasn’t moved away!
It seems to have gone out hunting.
Cheng Bai licked his lips, beginning to set up a rudimentary trap array around the Poison Dragon Pond.
Preparing to capture the tailless Alligator Dragon in one fell swoop when it returns.
Yet after a day and night, he saw no trace.
He has patience, but if the prey went out hunting and instead perished, then he would have made the trip for nothing.
Taking a deep breath, Cheng Bai first checked the arranged array, then followed the traces, starting to track the tailless Alligator Dragon’s direction.
Ten miles, fifty miles, a hundred miles…
After surpassing the Alligator Dragon’s normal activity range, Cheng Bai’s heart inevitably rose.
What kind of prey would cause the tailless Alligator Dragon to leave its territory and chase so far?
Suddenly!
His pupils shrank, his body trembled.
In his line of sight, ahead a large number of lower order demon beasts were prostrate on the ground, trembling, unable to move, as though suppressed by something.
Among them, a tailless Alligator Dragon was quite conspicuous.
This is his target for venturing deep into the Mist Wilderness!
However, that’s not the point, the point is the reason for such a gathering of demon beasts.
An unnamed barren mountain stood amidst the demon beast group.
On that barren mountain, storm clouds gathered, lightning flashed and thunder roared.
Such celestial phenomena don’t seem man-made, appearing as if naturally formed.
“Could it be the emergence of a precious item?”
In legends, when top-tier Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures appear, they often attract celestial phenomena.
Especially when some high-order monstrous creatures undergo spirit communication, it triggers a celestial change, much like a great demon transforming or a powerful being transcending tribulation.
And unlike the spirit-intelligent great demons, such monstrous creatures grow in ignorance, extremely poor at coping with tribulations.
Often after successful spirit communication, they enter extreme weakness.
If one can take advantage of their vulnerability and capture them, the benefits surely far surpass that of a tailless Alligator Dragon, a Faceless Gu larva!
In an instant, Cheng Bai’s heart was burning with excitement!
However, the next moment, his expression dramatically changed.
An uncontrolled small tripod flew out from the barren mountain, spinning a loop around the storm clouds, then its brilliance contained, merged into the mountain’s belly.
Witnessing this scene, Cheng Bai’s heart instantly chilled.
“No!”
“It’s not the emergence of a precious item, but a powerful being crafting a top-tier magic item here!”
He dared not covet, controlled his breath, cautiously retreated.
Yet a rough voice echoed from the barren mountain, shaking his qi-blood, and made his divine soul waver.
“Little friend, since you’ve come, why rush to leave?”
The voice echoed like thunder, where it passed, the lower order demon beasts’ skin directly ruptured, turning into clouds of blood mist.
Even the highly defensive tailless Alligator Dragon didn’t escape this fate.
Cheng Bai was terrified, quickly knelt down to beg for mercy.
“Junior is a mountain seeker under Master Ming Lei, with no intention of disturbing senior’s quiet cultivation, I plead for mercy!”
“Oh?”
In the rough voice, came a hint of curiosity.
“I haven’t appeared for a long time, yet when did the South Border have a character like Master Ming Lei?”
As he spoke, a tremendous force burst suddenly, dragging Cheng Bai from afar to the foot of the mountain.
Cheng Bai’s expression was frightened, yet his heart loosened slightly.
Though unaware of where this old monster originated, having negotiation is good!
The rocks trembled, a large gate slowly opened.
A silhouette emerged, wearing a feather high crown, suspended with a dazzling jade belt on the waist, dressed in black armor, feet stepping on cloud shoes, seemingly on flat land yet as if in the clouds.
Especially the extremely youthful handsome face made Cheng Bai’s gaze twitch.
Where did such a young old monster come from?
