Martial Arts: Start by Obtaining the Wild World

Chapter 219 0218: Valley

He returned to the cave entrance, moved the stone back, and then took the mole to an open space not far from the small waterfall.

Cheng Zongyang took out a gold ingot and a silver ingot, as well as two red blood pills.

After giving the mole beast two red blood pills to eat, he placed the gold and silver in front of it and said, "Smell it. If you can find it, I will give you thirty red blood pills."

"Hehe." After the mole beast swallowed the red blood pill, it let out a happy hum, which surprised Cheng Zongyang a little.

This was the first time he had heard of a mole beast reacting like this. But he was also happy, because it meant that after the mole beast's rank was upgraded, there was a chance that it would gradually return to its original nature. As for whether it would return to the nature of a mole or an orc, it was unknown.

Afterwards, the mole was seen constantly smelling the scent of gold and silver. Although there was the smell of Cheng Zongyang on them, with the mole's super senses, it would not be a problem to distinguish them.

The purpose of this trip was, firstly, to find a suitable place to set up a maze, so as to pave the way for the appearance of the Soul-Gathering Monument in the future; secondly, to let the mole beast go alone to find the existence of gold and silver mines. At the same time, he would stay outside for a few days before going back.

The mole beast is a two-and-a-half-star alien beast. With its talent and abilities, basically no alien beast can do anything to it.

Therefore, he tried to let the mole beast go into the mountains alone to look for gold and silver mines. He wanted to explore the wilderness world.

"Go, go find these two things, and when you find them, wait for me here. Nod if you understand." Cheng Zongyang explained to it. I don't know if it can understand.

As a result, the mole actually nodded.

"It seems that this Red Blood Pill has a great effect on you." Cheng Zongyang felt that he and Zhang Jinquan had underestimated the effect of the Red Blood Pill. This mole beast actually had such a reaction.

Although the mole beasts would follow his orders, they would generally not react in this way.

Although the reaction is not big, at least there are some changes compared to the beginning.

"Is it possible that the Red Blood Pill, which can earn more points through consignment sales, has only that little effect?" Cheng Zongyang couldn't help but feel more doubtful.

After thinking about it, I decided not to rush and would wait and see.

"Wait here for me. Don't move."

As he said that, he entered the wilderness world to prepare some red blood pills.

In order to make it easier for the mole to eat, he took thirty pills from Zhang Jinquan's pharmacy, put them in a bamboo jar, and then passed a rope through it so that it could be hung around the mole's neck.

After coming out again, he gave some instructions, asked the mole to squat, hung the rope around its neck, and let it try.

When it could be opened, he warned: "No more than five a day."

The mole paused for a moment before nodding slowly.

Then Cheng Zongyang put the two small gold and silver ingots into the bamboo jar and said, "If you can't remember the smell, take it out and smell it. Also, don't leave the mountain!"

After the mole nodded affirmatively again, Cheng Zongyang let it go and search.

Looking at the tall and strong figure of the mole beast gradually entering the depths of Tianduan Mountain, stopping from time to time to smell, he also smiled.

By searching separately like this, the mole beast doesn't have to follow him around, and can search based on its own sense of smell, which will be more efficient and the chance of finding it will be much higher.

Next, Cheng Zongyang went deep into the mountains again to look for some special and dangerous places to place the soul-gathering monument and other things in the future.

Along the way, the number of poisonous insects and venomous creatures in the mountains was really astonishing. Although he had the Seven Grass Powder on him, there were countless snakes and insects that attacked him wherever he passed. They looked scared yet not afraid, as if they thought he was invading their territory.

Moreover, the larger the poisonous insects and snakes are, the less afraid they are of the seven-herb powder.

But he didn't care. He took out a magnet and immediately the common snakes, insects, rats and ants basically stopped moving. It was as if their strength had been drained away. After Cheng Zongyang left, they gradually recovered.

Stopping and walking along the way, Cheng Zongyang was gradually going deeper. If he saw any precious medicinal herbs or animals on the way, he would not miss them.

As the sun gradually set, Cheng Zongyang arrived at a cliff.

Looking at the beautiful scenery outside the cliff, the stuffy feeling of walking in the dense forest disappeared at this moment.

He scanned the surrounding terrain and found that the central area of ​​this region was a valley surrounded by mountains on all sides.

"It looks magnificent, but who knows how many dangers are hidden on the ground." Cheng Zongyang murmured.

With the help of geomagnets, he would have no problem. Without the geomagnets and the seven-herb powder, even if he had the sixth-grade cultivation, he would not be able to be safe from the sneak attacks of those poisonous insects. Some insects always have special functions that target the skin of warriors.

"The danger level in the wilderness world may be far greater than that in Tianduan Mountain."

Cheng Zongyang sighed and prepared to go down to take a look. The place to place the soul-gathering monument has not been found yet. This place is a cliff and is not suitable. But the situation below can be seen.

But when he looked at it again, he found that the color of the trees in the central area was somewhat different from those in the surrounding area, and the height was also somewhat different.

If he hadn't observed carefully, he would not have noticed this situation.

Seeing this, Cheng Zongyang narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Could it be the place where the fireball fell?"

I had some guesses in my mind and took out the telescope to take a look.

After seeing this, he confirmed that the place should have been hit by a fireball, and the vegetation grew back. There was still a gap in the center.

Seeing this, he put away the telescope and turned around to go down and take a look.

As for jumping down? Obviously, he couldn't do that from a height of several hundred meters.

On the way down, Cheng Zongyang also saw ferocious beasts such as tigers, leopards, and pythons.

But this situation made Cheng Zongyang somewhat suspicious.

What about their territory?

Can tigers and leopards roam around freely? Do they have no sense of territory?
But when the tigers and leopards saw Cheng Zongyang, they seemed to sense an inexplicable energy influence and knew that Cheng Zongyang was not someone to be trifled with, so they ran away when they saw him from a distance.

This was quite a pity for Cheng Zongyang, as tiger bones and tiger penises are both good medicinal materials.

The hunting team in the wilderness world hunted a lot of creatures, and Zhang Jinquan used the materials of these creatures to make a lot of medicinal wines that warriors could use. However, there were not many exotic beasts hunted, and the ones that were killed were also used by Zhang Jinquan to cultivate red jade ganoderma and other things.

As the sun set, Cheng Zongyang arrived at the foot of the mountain.

As a result, when he arrived at the valley, he found a large number of animal corpses lying there.

When I was on the top of the mountain, I couldn’t see what was happening under the tree, and I didn’t discover anything, but I never thought it would be so strange here.

Cheng Zongyang frowned, held his breath, and gradually walked into the valley with the help of the magnet.

Cheng Zongyang was not in a hurry, but observed the condition of the animal skeletons from time to time to see if there was any cause of death.

But many creatures only have a layer of skin left, and most are almost white bones, and it is impossible to identify what kind of creature they are. After all, if only the bones of tigers and leopards are left, it is difficult for non-professionals to tell them apart.

But some creatures can still be identified from their teeth.

"It seems like they all died of normal causes, right?"

Cheng Zongyang paid attention to the remaining animal fur and found nothing unusual, except that some of the animal fur had been severely decomposed and no clues could be seen.

Gradually going deeper into the central area, he also saw the huge python skeleton. The snake skin was still there and had not been completely decomposed, but it was also tattered and missing a lot.

There was an animal skeleton in the abdomen of the python, which was about the same size as a normal wolf. It should have been swallowed by it. But at the head of the python, its skull was found to be broken.

This is obviously not a natural cracking.

"This pattern... was caused by an external force?"

Cheng Zongyang squatted aside and stared at the cracks on the skull on the ground, and immediately had a guess.

"This big python is about the same size as the Flame Mist Python that I killed near the village."

"Was it man-made, or was it caused by some creature? Or was it caused when the fireball landed?"

Cheng Zongyang continued to move forward with doubts.

Slowly, he suddenly turned around and looked back the way he came again, and found that most of the heads of these animal corpses were facing in all directions.

Only a few are slightly different.

"Did he die while escaping?"

Cheng Zongyang's eyes flickered, and he immediately continued to move towards the central area.

Based on the time it took for the animal bones to decompose, he guessed that it was the fireball that caused it.

Because of the magnet on his body, no creature in the valley dared to approach him.

As he performed some body skills, he arrived near the central area.

He did not approach rashly, but landed on a tree, took out a telescope and looked at the obvious large pit in the central area that had long been covered with weeds.

He glanced around and found no living creatures, then landed at the edge of the pit.

"The diameter of this pit is estimated to be more than 50 meters." Cheng Zongyang made a rough estimate, then took out his Tang sword and went to the bottom of the pit.

"I don't know if the Fire Spirit Stone is still there." Cheng Zongyang murmured in his heart.

Since the monkey had the Fire Stone, those animals should also have a sense of the Fire Stone and know that the Fire Stone is a good thing.

However, the pit was covered with weeds inside and around it, so it was difficult to find the fire stone from under the weeds.

Unless a large number of people were mobilized to explore and clear out the weeds, it would be impossible for him to do it alone.

Finally, he thought about it, shook his head slightly, and temporarily gave up the idea of ​​looking for it. It was a waste of time.

"This valley is a good place, and these ready-made animal bones can also serve as a decoy."

He secretly noted the direction of this place in his mind and stopped looking for it.

His goal was to have a suitable place to be confused, but it didn't need to be too special.

Then he turned around and used his body skills to rush back, preparing to return to the small waterfall and wait for the mole to come back. After that, he would enter the wilderness world to do other things.

As for this valley, we will arrange it after Ma Yue brings back the Soul Gathering Monument in the future.

Cheng Zongyang was not worried about getting lost during the night trip. It was not until midnight that he used his body speed to quickly return to the small waterfall and then entered the wilderness.

At this time, Luo Dingran and others were already resting. Cheng Zongyang did not disturb them, but went straight to the independent space on the third floor of the market hut and entered his own villa manor space.

Early the next morning.

When Cheng Zongyang came out again, he saw Luo Dingran and others busy. At the same time, he saw Ma San at the door of the fresh-keeping warehouse, holding a large basket in his hands.

"grown ups!"

When they saw Cheng Zongyang coming out of the hut, they all hurriedly bowed and greeted him. Ma San also hurriedly put down the basket.

Cheng Zongyang nodded slightly. He knew that Ma San was the first team established by Luo Dingran.

According to what Luo Dingran had reported to him before, the five hunting teams had a total of 20 people, four people in each team. He also gave the captains of the five teams the authority to set anchor points.

"How is the current exploration going? The other four teams haven't returned yet?" Cheng Zongyang asked Luo Dingran.

Luo Dingran replied, "Sir, we are still exploring. Ma San, the leader of the first team, teleported back with resources last night. This time, we are going to take some supplies with us so that they can be stored at the supply station. The other three team members will rest and wait at the supply station. The other four team leaders should be building the second supply station on their respective routes."

Cheng Zongyang nodded.

The emergence of the teleportation anchor function really makes it much easier for hunting team members.

Whether it was traveling back and forth or transporting resources, it wouldn't be so hard. And Luo Dingran meant to set up a supply station every ten kilometers.

Otherwise, it would take more than two hours to walk ten kilometers on this mountain road.

Cheng Zongyang had no objection to this. If there were to be changes in the future, the new supply station could be moved farther away, so there was no need to worry about these.

Ten kilometers is indeed appropriate. The current expanded territory is only seventy kilometers. According to the number of times, there are only six supply stations on each line (no supply station is needed for the first ten kilometers).

But he also knew that among these five teams, the fifth team was not hunting, but exploring for possible ruins, nests, etc. So the supply battle was the responsibility of the other four teams.

Cheng Zongyang said: "Starting today, I will gradually mark and improve the map. As for the location of the anchor point, tell me later so that I can mark it."

"Yes, sir." Luo Dingran bowed.

Cheng Zongyang said to Ma San, "Go and get busy."

"Yes, sir. I'll take my leave." Ma San bowed and walked into the market hut with a basket of supplies. He muttered "Send to supply station number two on the first line" and the man and the basket disappeared in the hut in an instant.

At the same time, a prompt "Teleportation points -10" popped up in front of Cheng Zongyang.

One of the fixed points of the anchor point is the market hut. As long as the second teleportation anchor point is set, you can teleport after deducting points.
At the same time, this market hut is also a transit station.

If Ma San is at supply station No. 2 and wants to go to No. 1, he must first go back to the market hut and then go to No. 1.

It means spending one more teleportation point!
This is also where the market hut is smart, charging an extra point.

But on the other hand, it also facilitates transportation, so that more supply stations do not need to be built in the future, which would appear messy and complicated.

He walked into the market hut and took down the wilderness map hanging on the wall.
