Chapter 93
Black sword lights suddenly accelerated and passed through the Monkey King's body.
Time seemed to have stopped at this moment.
"boom!"
The Monkey King's body suddenly splattered with blood, and the bloody mouths were revealed.
Xiao Zhan did not look at the Monkey King's body that had transformed into dozens of segments. He moved his feet and rushed towards the giant tree where the Monkey King slept.
His toes kept tapping on the tree trunk, and every time he stepped out, his body could fly more than ten meters into the air.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Zhan jumped into the huge nest.
The den smelled exactly like the smell of the Monkey King.
In addition, there are some bones of unidentifiable animals.
Xiao Zhan used the Red Dragon Sword to pull it a few times, and suddenly saw a skull.
Unexpectedly, this beast had human lives on its hands!
Just when Xiao Zhan was about to leave, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a football-sized hole in the tree trunk.
It was pitch dark inside and nothing could be seen.
Xiao Zhan struck out with a knife, and the tree trunk was immediately cut in half, revealing what was inside.
This is a small tree hole with a depth of one meter and a diameter of about half a meter.
There were some colorful stones inside, as well as a few dead grasses that Xiao Zhan didn't recognize.
Xiao Zhan picked up a yellow stone and looked at it, confirming that it was an ordinary stone.
I just didn't expect that the Black Monkey King was tall and thick, and he actually liked to collect beautiful stones.
Suddenly, Xiao Zhan saw two milky white stones, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Not surprisingly, these are indeed two true essence stones!
Xiao Zhan put away the True Essence Stone and picked up a few pieces of dead grass. The dead grass exuded a faint fragrance.
He carefully pinched a little and put it in his mouth. After chewing it, he felt a bitter taste.
After waiting for a long time, Xiao Zhan didn't feel that the withered grass had any medicinal effect.
Xiao Zhan smiled helplessly and said to himself that he was overthinking.
It was an unexpected surprise to be able to get that mysterious golden medicinal material in that lake.
He also thought that these yellow weeds were also some kind of medicinal materials. After tasting them, he realized that they were just ordinary weeds. They were probably hidden by the Black Monkey King as treasures because of their fragrance.
Xiao Zhan jumped down from the giant tree, glanced at the body of the Black Monkey King, turned around and left quickly.
This time, Xiao Zhan didn't waste too much time and rushed out of the plain as quickly as possible.
At this time, it was already the fifth day that Xiao Zhan entered the Lost Land.
He began to miss Ye Wei and Yaoyao.
In the Lost Land, communication equipment cannot be used.
Xiao Zhan's original plan was to complete his first exploration of the Lost Land as soon as possible and then return to the outside world, so that Ye Wei and Yaoyao wouldn't worry too much.
But now Xiao Zhan realized that everything was too beautiful for him.
If he can't work up his energy, it's still a question whether he can survive in the Lost Land, let alone go back to reunite with Ye Wei and Yaoyao.
Two days later, Xiao Zhan passed through a swamp and entered another mountain range. Finally, after crossing a large river, he successfully reached the location marked on the map.
The reference object on the simple map is a high mountain that looks like a pyramid.
Xiao Zhan glanced at the mountain on the side to make sure he was not looking in the wrong place.
Half an hour later, Xiao Zhan arrived halfway up the mountain.
There are no roads at all on this mountain, and the ground is covered with a thick layer of weeds and vines.
Not only that, Xiao Zhan also discovered that there were a lot of poisonous insects in these weeds.
After walking through a hillside, Xiao Zhan stood in front of a hundred-meter-high stone wall.
The stone wall was covered with vines, each one as thick as a forearm, and covered with barbs.
Xiao Zhan used the Red Dragon Sword to split the thick vines and saw a long and narrow stone crevice.
The widest part of the stone gap is no more than half a meter, and the narrowest part is just enough for people to pass through.
Xiao Zhan glanced inside, and after making sure there was no danger, he cautiously got in.
This stone crevice was obviously not man-made. It was rugged, winding, covered with moss, and exuded a damp musty smell.
Xiao Zhan advanced about a hundred meters and finally stopped.
The crevice has reached its end.
On the ground, there was a puddle with a diameter of only two meters. In the puddle, there were nearly two hundred milky white light groups densely packed.
When I got closer, I saw that it was indeed the True Essence Stone!
Xiao Zhan reached out to pick up one, but found that the True Essence Stone was firmly embedded in the ground.
When I pressed it with my hand, I found that the material of the stone on the ground was completely different from the surrounding ones, and it was extremely hard.
Xiao Zhan punched down hard, sparks flying from the ground, but no cracks appeared.
After thinking about it, Xiao Zhan took out a willow leaf dart and tried to pry up the True Essence Stone.
This time, Xiao Zhan succeeded in removing a True Essence Stone, but there were also defects and scratches on the True Essence Stone, and a lot of the True Essence contained in it was lost.
Xiao Zhan was a little helpless.
I don’t know much about True Essence Stone, let alone the method of mining True Essence Stone.
Right now I can only try a few more methods.
But no matter whether you use a knife to pry or bombard it with true essence, you can't perfectly remove the true essence stone.
This made Xiao Zhan a little irritable.
Especially after these days of running around, a lot of the true essence in his body has been lost. What's more, the power of the thick fog in the Lost Land is still eroding the true essence and blood in his body.
Although there was a lot of golden medicinal material left, Xiao Zhan really couldn't bear to use it up like this.
After thinking about it, Xiao Zhan simply sat down on these true essence stones.
Since it can't be perfectly mined and taken away, I might as well absorb all the true energy inside.
In fact, the way to absorb true energy is both simple and difficult.
The essence of true energy is a special kind of energy that can be absorbed into the body through breathing and contact.
But this energy is so powerful that ordinary people will die if they touch it! You must at least reach the god level before your body can withstand the powerful power of true energy.
This was the first time that Xiao Zhan absorbed so much energy from the True Essence Stone. In less than ten minutes, his body returned to its peak state.
As Xiao Zhan continued to absorb, the true energy in his body continued to accumulate, and his meridians continued to expand, and finally he had to start compressing the true energy in his body.
Whenever he felt that he could no longer hold any trace of true energy in his body, Xiao Zhan would stop, adjust and then continue to absorb it.
Until Xiao Zhan was like a sponge filled with water, he finally stopped completely.
The True Essence Stones under the buttocks have basically turned into dull white powder, with only two or three remaining that still emit a faint milky white light.
Xiao Zhan didn't feel bad anymore. He used a flying knife to pry out the few true essence stones, and then left here along the gap.
He felt that the old man from the Baqi Kingdom who was killed by him was really lucky.
If he hadn't been lucky enough, the old man would definitely not have discovered these true essence stones.
After all, who would have no trouble getting into such a deep rock crevice.
After lifting up the hanging vines and walking out, Xiao Zhan glanced at the setting sun on the horizon, took out the map and looked at it, and couldn't help but frown.
If he wants to go to Yanlong City, he can only go back the same way and then rush there according to the map given by the old beggar senior. Even at full speed, it will take at least a month.
But if you want to go to Baqi Mountain, it only takes about half a month.
The Baqi Mountain is an area occupied by the Baqi Kingdom in the Lost Land. There must be experts stationed there. In his current state, he will definitely have a narrow escape from death.
Xiao Zhan suppressed the instinctive murderous intention in his heart and returned towards the original route.
He is more willing to hand over the route to Baqi Mountain to Yanlong City. In this way, Yanlong City may be able to unexpectedly deal a heavy blow to Baqi Mountain.
It would be best to swallow up Mount Baqi. In that case, the harvest should be huge.
A few days later, Xiao Zhan returned to the place where he killed the old man from the Baqi Kingdom.
From a distance, Xiao Zhan saw three old men searching for something in the lake.
The three old men were wearing the traditional costumes of the Yaqi Kingdom, and they were undoubtedly enemies.
After about an hour, the three old men searched to no avail, so they could only vent to the lake and then left.
Xiao Zhan glanced at the direction they left, and it was actually in the same direction as Yanlong City where he was going.
Without any hesitation, Xiao Zhan sneaked all the way and followed him from a distance.
Xiao Zhan originally thought that the Lost Land was so big that the chance of meeting people would be very small, but he didn't expect that in just a few days, he would meet the second group of people.
They are all from the Yamata Kingdom! Is this the so-called enemy road?
About a day later, three old men from the Yaqi Kingdom stopped on a certain mountain.
There was a cave on the mountainside. At this time, a young man in his twenties walked out of the cave.
He wore a loose gray-blue cloth coat with a loose collar that exposed his entire chest. He also had two knives, one long and one short, on his waist, and wore wooden slippers on his feet.
The young man glanced at the three old men standing at the entrance of the cave, a flash of irritation flashed in his eyes, and he frowned and asked:
"Have you found Ichiro Oita?"
The three old men nodded one after another, and one of them bent down and said respectfully:
"We found traces of the battle. Ichiro Oita has been killed. The murderer should be at the same level as him."
A cold light flashed in the young man's eyes, "Have you found that map?"
The three old men quickly knelt on the ground.
"Hmph!" The young man looked at the three of them coldly, "Thanks to you, you are still in the Qi Gathering realm. If you can't handle such a small thing, what's the use of Baqi Mountain raising you!?"
"That damn bastard Ichiro Oita! Just a small vein of True Essence Stone made him betray our Baqi Mountain! Just one or two hundred True Essence Stones, how tempting can it be?!"
The three old men lowered their heads, a complex emotion flashing deep in their eyes.
The young man in front of him is the son of the mountain lord of Baqi Mountain, so he naturally has no shortage of true essence stones.
But to people like them, every True Essence Stone is extremely precious.
Therefore, they can completely understand Oita Ichiro's behavior of stealing the map.
The young man became even more irritable.
"When you go back, do you know what to say?"
The three people nodded quickly and said:
"knew."
"You led us through hardships and successfully found Ichiro Oita and killed him. You also found the True Essence Stone vein and successfully brought back two hundred True Essence Stones."
The young man smiled and said, "With this credit, I will be able to successfully take over the control of the Nine Annin Division. When the time comes, let's see who dares to talk!"
After speaking, the young man left with the three old men.
And the direction they left was not the direction leading to Yanlong City.
Watching the four people's backs disappear, Xiao Zhan walked out from behind a boulder, his brows furrowed.
At present, it seems that these four people are going back to Baqi Mountain, and they are taking another route.
In other words, Yamagiyama did not know about the route he obtained from Oita Ichiro.
Then, if Yanlong City follows that route to attack Mount Baqi, the probability of success will be very high.
Of course, before that, people need to be sent to Baqi Mountain to find out the situation there.
Moreover, the young man just now was a little strange.
He clearly only has Saint-level strength, but he was able to survive in this lost land, and his status in Baqi Mountain was obviously not low, otherwise he would not have been respected by the three Qi Gathering Realm old men.
I think that young man was born in the Lost Land and was the son of a big shot in the Baqi Mountains.
Xiao Zhan did not risk continuing to follow, but rushed towards Yanlong City.
