From the pure blood dragon clan, I started to become a human being

Chapter 136 Silver Moon Prayer Insect

The empire directly north is traversed by a series of mountains. This is a natural chasm that is difficult for most dangerous species of birds to cross. In the endless forest, the identities of hunters and prey change at any time, and there are very few traces of humans.

From an overall perspective, the Tianqian Mountains blocked the foreign nationalities from the north from moving south, greatly shrinking the distance between the defensive fronts. Only two fortress counties built and repaired during the Zhongxing era stood here. Even if they were breached, there was still the possibility of cutting off the retreat after recapture, whether it was It has no strategic value to the empire or to foreign nations.

In a popular sense, the Northland specifically refers to the densely populated area in the northeastern part of the empire. The area near the Tianqian Mountains is sparsely populated. It contains the largest virgin mountain forest in the empire. Considering the war and costs, development will do more harm than good.

Mount Gilawea is the highest peak in the middle of the mountain range. It is rich in ice lotus, which is known as one of the rarest treasures in the world. This tonic is very popular in the imperial capital. In order to increase the fertility rate, the elderly nobles even spend a lot of money to purchase it.

Therefore, a city was built near Mount Gilawea during the reign of the late Emperor. The population at its peak was only tens of thousands, and most of them were adventurers and wandering hunters. After all, in addition to ice lotus, there were other strange things that could be sold for a high price. plant.

A hunter's home outside the city.

A young man in a black hunting suit was sitting on the sofa in front of the fire, reading alchemy books. Not far away, the maid was wrapped tightly in clothes and wore a brown fur hat, revealing only her delicate and charming face.

Although it is only early autumn, under the influence of the big cold wave, the entire northern part of the empire has entered a period of low temperatures, especially around the primeval mountain forests. Hunters are already preparing food for the winter.

Chelsea sat next to the fire, her head almost hanging on her chest. The warm environment inevitably made people feel tired. The old hunter came over with a wooden tray. At first glance, he thought the little girl was dead.

"Don't worry about her." Jiang Yuan stuffed the alchemy books into his luggage, then stood up and took the wooden plate. On it were marinated meat strips cut from low-level dangerous species, and a dozen pieces of noodles. According to the market price, they can usually be sold. Give out a silver coin.

"Guests must be careful if they want to enter the mountain. It is best to find a professional hunting team. People who can make a living here are somewhat capable. If you go in groups, at least resisting the second-level dangerous species will not be a big problem." The old hunter warned.

"Thank you." Jiang Yuan pointed, and a black beetle crawled from his fingertips to the meat strips and ate slowly. After confirming that it was safe, he reached out and picked up a piece and stuffed it into his mouth. The taste was average, but there was no need to be picky.

His target this time is a super dangerous species. According to the royal archives and the intelligence collected, the founders of the country had several failed hunting records when they used their peak national power to forge the imperial gear. Among them, the Silver Moon Prayer Insect has the most detailed record. .

After nearly three years of investigation and a huge expenditure of manpower and material resources, Jiang Yuan finally locked in the specific location of the target.

This super dangerous species called the Silver Moon Prayer Bug is simply a two-meter-tall silver-white mantis. For a creature of the same level, its size is abnormally small. However, according to royal records, the opponent was instantly Destroying a forged shield-shaped Imperial Equipment, the slashes wrapped with thunder and lightning were almost like phantoms.

Next to the fire, Chelsea seemed to smell the smell of food and fell backwards. Then Carp stood up, opened her eyes and jumped onto the sofa.

Head maid, stand-in for affairs, countess of the palace, leader of the private assassination team, and head of the Knoll Chamber of Commerce. She has many identities, and she is deeply aware of her own value and part of her duke's temperament. As long as the value is enough, she can be a little rude and controllable. The other party doesn't care at all about the transgression.

Of course, the premise of occupying so much power is the limitation of strength. When you exceed the knight level, your death will probably occur. As a safety guarantee, the military music doll has become a dedicated bodyguard. After all, the Duke has been required to lead the army in person for several years. This has never been the case.

Chelsea stuffed her food happily. Compared to the Empire, the life of the people in the Duchy was much better. According to the Duke, population growth requires a relatively stable living environment. Although she could not understand it, it seemed that the Emperor should The Duke is the right one.Jiang Yuan compared the intelligence submitted by Chelsea with the map drawn by a local veteran hunter, determined the direction and distance, and said: "You will go back after eating. The banquet invitation will be declined as usual. The profits of the southern caravan this quarter will be handed over to Count Thius, keep an eye on the news about the night attack on the Imperial Capital, and notify the Secret Guard of the Imperial Capital in my name to execute [Zanke the Beheader] to recover the Imperial Instrument Five Vision Omnipotence, for the reason that I don’t like his nickname.”

"I know." Chelsea replied vaguely as she chewed the meat strips. She could use the Teigu to transform into a large bird, and she would have no problem carrying the military music doll back.

In the afternoon, the two left the hunter's house after replenishing supplies. Jiang Yuan left a silver coin before leaving, and then headed into the mountain. The Silver Moon Prayer Insect was located on the other side of Mount Gilawea.

For most people, there is not much difference between super dangerous species and super dangerous species. As long as they encounter one, they will basically die in one hit. Moreover, the target is small, so it is difficult for people in the surrounding area to realize the existence of the terrifying hunter.

And humans are not actually on the food list of many dangerous species.

……

In the evening, at sunset.

Halfway up Gilauea.

Outside an ordinary cave, a two-meter-tall silver-white mantis moves slowly. The super dangerous species are extremely rare, and they all have the same basic ability, which is to sleep for a long time. It is different from the special ones that mutate from the group. A super is a product of chance.

Through long-term dormancy, they can extend their lifespan in disguise and avoid those times that are not conducive to survival. Although they have intelligence comparable to humans, their instincts are still deep in the bone marrow.

The Silver Moon Prayer Worm held a dangerous species of rat in its mouth, and looked towards the hole with a hint of human thought.

Something came and left a mark.

After reaching the conclusion, the Silver Moon Prayer Bug directly started eating on the spot. It had a very clear understanding of its position in the food chain. Apart from the celestial phenomena, there were almost no creatures that were its opponents.

As for the dangerous species of rats in the mouth, they are naturally palatable. The more food they have tasted, the more contrast will inevitably arise. For it, eating is no longer just a necessity for survival.

Suddenly, the Silver Moon Prayer Bug looked up at the sky. A vague sense of danger was gradually increasing. It felt that it should do something, but the danger came from the unknown, and it had not yet decided what to do.

At the same time, within thousands of miles around Mount Gilawea, black beetles were flying in groups in various directions, first ordinary beasts, then low-level dangerous species, gradually advancing in an orderly manner.
