Taking advantage of the "Holy Fire Festival" held every ten years in Hellfire City, the four people from Zhou Yang, who had lived in seclusion in Yunxiang Villa for more than a year, finally embarked on a journey to the depths of the wild jungle to hunt for treasure.
This journey is destined to not be smooth sailing.
The wild jungle is so ferocious that it has devoured the lives of countless immortal cultivators who have gone deep into it to hunt for treasures and explore for countless years.
There are too many existences here that can threaten the lives of immortal cultivators.
Savage aliens, savage beasts, monsters, these are just visible dangers.
There are more dangers than these that are hard to spot.
For example, after Zhou Yang and the others traveled thousands of miles into the wild jungle, when they were flying over a large dark green lake, countless black shadows suddenly shot out from the lake and attacked them.
Of course, those black shadows are not arrows, but strange black fish ranging from five feet to ten feet in length. The bodies of these black monster fish are covered with fine scales, like snakes, and their mouths are full of sharp teeth like piranhas.
In terms of aura, the aura emitted by these black monster fish is comparable to that of second- and third-level monsters.
But there are too many of them, tens of thousands of them appear at one time, and there is no warning in advance.
Zhou Yang and the four others were caught off guard and were immediately surrounded by these strange black fish.
In the end, the four of them fought their way back to the lake shore after exhausting their efforts. They detoured thousands of miles before crossing the lake.
Another example is that when they chose to walk through the territory of a fifth-level flying beast, they accidentally broke into the territory of a wild man-eating vine and encountered numerous savage man-eating vines.
These wild man-eating vines can be regarded as a kind of plant monster. Their vines are tough and strong. They have grown for thousands of years, and the main trunk of the vines cannot even be cut off by a fourth-level flying sword.
Moreover, these monsters are extremely good at disguise. Before taking action, their vines look no different from the various vines that can be seen everywhere in the wild jungle, and their aura is not leaking at all.
Only when prey that interests them enough enters their hunting range will they suddenly stalk the prey and launch a surprise attack.
The wild man-eating vine territory that Zhou Yang and the others broke into contained quite a few thousand-year-old wild man-eating vines. As soon as they struck, countless vines that covered the sky were woven into a vine net that covered the sky, cutting off their ability to escape in the air.
possible.
If Zhou Yang hadn't noticed that something was wrong, he didn't hesitate to expose the secret of possessing the "Qian Yang Treasure Body" and used the "Qian Yang True Fire" to burn those wild man-eating vines, the team would definitely have lost members.
After this battle, Zhou Yang's "Qian Yang Treasure Body" was revealed and saved the entire team. No one dared to underestimate him anymore.
During the rest of the journey, Zhou Yang and others fought against fourth-level beasts, killed fourth-level monsters, and fled in panic when pursued by fifth-level beasts.
The biggest crisis they encountered was when they were passing through a wild mountain range and were chased by a group of wild strange insects called "Blood-striped Dragon-Eating Ants".
The "blood-striped dragon-eating ant" is a wild and strange insect that existed in ancient times. The mature "blood-striped dragon-eating ant" has sharp teeth that can even bite through the scales of a fifth-order dragon.
This kind of wild and strange insect does not belong to the category of monsters, nor is it among the wild beasts. Instead, it is called wild and strange insect by the immortal cultivators together with some equally powerful and rare wild and strange insects.
The group of "blood-striped dragon-eating ants" that Zhou Yang and the others encountered did not have a mature form, because in order for this wild and strange insect to become a mature form, it needs to actually swallow a large amount of dragon flesh and blood to mature.
But even so, facing the pursuit of thousands of "blood-striped dragon-eating ants", all they can do is run away.
Zhou Yang also tried using "Qian Yang True Fire" to burn those "blood-striped dragon-eating ants", but the effect was not ideal. Even if these wild and strange insects were burned by "Qian Yang True Fire", they would not die immediately.
Maybe he can do this after using the power of "Qian Yang Baozhu", but how can he be willing to use this trump card in front of outsiders unless it is absolutely necessary.
So in the end, their only option was to escape, far away from the activity range of the "Blood-striped Dragon-eating Ants".
After going through hardships and overcoming various difficulties along the way, Zhou Yang and others finally set foot in the wild jungle area one hundred thousand miles away one month later.
When arriving in this area, they may encounter wild alien races at any time, so the four of them kept a much lower profile after arriving in this area. Unless they had no choice, they would not fly high into the sky and become a living target.
"Fellow Daoist Li, we have searched this area of tens of thousands of miles several times and have not found the boulder marked on your map at all. Could it be that your information is wrong and that the boulder is not in this area at all?"
In a temporarily opened cave, Zhou Yang and four other people were sitting cross-legged in it, and everyone looked a little unhappy.
From time to time, the three of them looked suspiciously at the short, fat figure flipping through a book in the cave, with undisguised anxiety in their eyes.
At this time, more than two months have passed since the three of them set out to hunt for treasure. Now they are in a place 140,000 miles deep into the wild jungle.
But they still haven't found the cave of the senior monk.
Before Li Zhengwei set off, he swore that he had fully investigated and prepared a route map. After everyone followed his route map and arrived here, they searched thousands of miles but could not find a single reference object marked on his treasure map. .
Without reference, no one dared to go any further. They could only stop here temporarily and watch the short and fat monk Li Zhengwei proofread the map against a large amount of information.
But continuing like this is not an option.
Especially, a few days ago when everyone went out to look for that reference object, Xiao Feng actually discovered the figure of a warrior from the wild alien race "Tianmu Clan" in the wild jungle.
The "Tianmu Tribe" is a large and populous tribe among the wild alien races. Its people look like a gorilla. In addition to having normal eyesight, the "Tianmu Tribe" will receive a "Tianmu Tribe" when they are born. ”.
This "Tianmu" is usually located on the back or chest of the "Tianmu Clan" people.
The "Tian Eye", like the spiritual roots of human monks, also has attributes. Generally, members of the "Tian Eye Clan" can gain the power to control any attribute such as metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, ice, magic, etc. through this "Tian Eye".
And for some particularly outstanding "Celestial Eye Clan" people, their "Celestial Eye" will give them the ability to control multiple attribute powers.
Basically, a naturally adult "Celestial Eye" person, through the power controlled by his own "Celestial Eye", can completely match the ninth-level Qi training monks of human immortal cultivators.
As long as a "Tianmu Clan" person has some cultivation qualifications and knows how to practice the "Tianmu Clan" cultivation methods, he can gain power comparable to that of human monks in the foundation-building period.
The "Tianmu Clan" that Xiao Feng discovered only possesses third-level strength. This is the reason why their group still dares to stay here.
But another bad news is that since there are third-level strength "Tianmu Clan" warriors here, it means that there must be a "Tianmu Clan" tribe outside the village within tens of thousands of miles nearby, because this kind of wild and alien member with low strength
, usually do not move too far away from the tribe’s location.
A wild alien tribe would have at least one leader with a strength equivalent to that of a Golden Core monk. If their whereabouts were discovered by the patrolling "Tianmu Tribe" people, they would definitely not get any good results.
So now they are all a little restless and want to leave this dangerous area as soon as possible.
"It's not wrong. I have compared the wild experiences recorded by a senior again. The blood fruit forest and Chishui River we experienced along the way are consistent with this route, so the giant rock peak must be there.
Within this area!”
In the cave, the short and fat monk Li Zhengwei put down the information map in his hand and once again confirmed the authenticity of the map in his hand with a firm tone.
Hearing what he said, Zhou Yang and the others couldn't help but look at each other, and finally Xiao Feng spoke up: "But according to what you said, that huge stone peak is thousands of feet high. If it really exists, there is no way we can't discover it!
"
"So there are only two possibilities now. Either hundreds of years have passed and the giant rock peak was destroyed by wild beasts or aliens, or it was hidden by the formation!"
Li Zhengwei looked at Xiao Feng and expressed his speculation in a deep voice.
"Even so, is there any way you can find it?"
"I am more inclined to the first speculation, so we can fly at low altitude to find places where a large number of rocks are scattered. Even if a huge rock peak collapses and shatters, it will leave obvious traces."
"That's what you say, but this is a wild jungle. With the growth and reproduction rate of the plants here, it only takes more than ten years to turn all the stone forests you mentioned into forests!"
"So we have to look carefully. Even if the stone forest is covered by vegetation, it still cannot be hidden from our consciousness. I don't believe that we can't find it even if we search like a carpet!"
…
Although Zhou Yang and others complained a lot, no one wanted to give up the treasure hunt, so in the end, after everyone discussed it, they generally followed Li Zhengwei's suggestion.
After another half a month passed, the four of them searched the area for tens of thousands of miles again, and finally found a large amount of fallen gravel near a mountain covered with countless green vines. According to
Calculated by the collapsed area, it should be what was left after the collapse of the giant rock peak they were looking for.
After finding a reference object, they finally matched the route on the treasure map by restoring the model form of the Monolith Peak when it was intact.
However, as soon as they left the area where Great Stone Peak was located, they were suddenly attacked by a group of "Tianmu Clan" people.
It was as if these people from the "Tianmu Clan" knew in advance that they would come this way. They ambush them on the road they must pass beforehand, and then suddenly took action, dragging them into the battle in an instant.
