The following days.
Su Changsheng secretly observed the lives of the wild monsters while experimenting to develop his own innate magical abilities.
Although the innate magical power on the panel is still evolving, the cyan thread in the candle flame has gradually been explored by him.
He can integrate cyan silk threads into the demon clan's body, and then secretly sense the opponent's status, vague position, etc. through the threads.
Even if the effect is still very weak, it will definitely become stronger as new magical powers are gradually derived.
It is even possible that one day, you can control it secretly and turn it into your own name.
Of course, in addition to experimenting with cyan silk thread and integrating it with various sorcery techniques and sorcery runes, his cultivation level has not fallen behind.
Practice breathing and breathing, and study skills.
Although the life is dull and boring, it is better than stability. If it were not for the occasional attack by medium-sized monsters, this place would really be a safe place to retire.
Speaking of this, we have to mention the peculiar characteristics of Baishi Mountain. It can actually blend into his aura, and then release pressure that is enhanced countless times.
As a result, ordinary level monsters and aberrations are unwilling to approach.
At first he thought he had found a treasure, but after researching for a long time, he almost hollowed out Baishan and found nothing.
It seems to be just the characteristics of the white mountain stone. He also secretly inquired about it, and the wild monster people said that there were many places similar to this in the wilderness.
These locations are also key to establishing safe spots.
Even the Black Mountain Demon Village is like this. It is precisely relying on these things that the aura of the great demons can radiate thousands of miles around.
Another piece of strange knowledge has been added.
In this way, as he practiced slowly, his body and mind gradually relaxed, Su Changsheng regained his original state of cultivating with all his heart.
Except for occasionally going out to hunt to replenish blood food, the rest of the time is devoted to breathing.
It's a pity that without the flesh and blood support of the high-level demon clan, the cultivation speed has dropped by more than one level.
A whole month of continuous breathing and breathing is not as effective as the previous two or three days.
"too slow!"
Su Changsheng slowly opened his eyes, looked at the five qi experience on the panel and sighed helplessly.
He also knows that there is no need to rush, and it is not advisable to reach level nine overnight. But it is now the end of the seventeenth year, and it is less than three years before the sky changes. As the time for the sky changes gets closer and closer, it is inevitable to feel a little anxious.
The most important thing is that signs of cracking in the sky have begun to appear, and various unreasonable weather phenomena are caused by this.
And he could also feel a disturbing and extremely restless aura slowly rising from the ground.
Filled between heaven and earth.
It is under the influence of this breath that the climate here becomes increasingly hot.
At this moment, the drought has spread to thousands of miles of the Montenegro Mountains, and has no intention of stopping.
If this continues, as the aura rising from the ground continues to intensify, it is very likely that winter will not come and summer will not come, and the scorching drought will become more and more severe.
It will inevitably cause widespread death and even plague, which will lead to the emergence of even weirder monsters.
It is conceivable that the survival of the wild monster tribe is difficult, leaving the monster almost helpless.
Fortunately, wild monsters can also eat weeds and tree roots, so they can survive for a while, but even so, the death of wild monsters is still endless.
Take Baishan Demon Village as an example. There are more than 200 demon residents in total, and more than ten of them have died in the past few days. Some of them died due to conflicts, and some died when they were attacked by monsters when they were out looking for food.
The list goes on and on.
However, despite the heavy losses, the appearance of Baishan Demon Village is still like a magnet, continuously attracting the surrounding wild demons. Over time, the number of demon residents here has not only not decreased, but is still slowly increasing.
This made the little snake girl Bai very happy.
After all, it has always been her dream to build a great demon village, and one of the most important requirements is the number of demon clans.
Only when the number of demons at the bottom level increases, can they gradually support the demons at the upper level. By accumulating upwards step by step, a high-level demon clan can eventually be piled up.
"Yan, please tell me the story of Black Mountain Demon Village again."
"I heard that there is a lot of knowledge there, including countless sorcery, mysterious runes, and even precious cultivation techniques. Is it true?"
The little snake girl's white eyes were shining as she wrapped herself around Su Changsheng, showing a hint of yearning.
After learning that he was a monster from the Black Mountain Monster Village, the little snake girl had been asking questions these days. Once she had some free time, she wanted to come over and pester him.
She seemed to yearn for everything in the Black Mountain Demon Village. She had even been working hard to accumulate supplies, hoping that one day she would be able to raise enough money to enter the village and become an honorable member of the Great Demon Village.
"There are indeed many ordinary magic spells and runes. Although the demon people there are living a very hard life, their basic survival is still not a problem."
"There is a demon market in the Black Mountain Demon Village, where a lot of low-level knowledge is exchanged. I also know some low-level knowledge. If you want to learn, I can teach you."
Su Changsheng said calmly.
"real?"
The little snake goddess looked happy, but then her face fell down, and she said hesitantly: "I...I have nothing to exchange with you. I know a kind of magic that temporarily lengthens the body or slightly shrinks the body... "
When she said this, her voice paused slightly, as if she had thought of something. First she bit her lip and showed a trace of reluctance. Then she took out a palm-sized piece of strange beast from the clothes layer made of rotten tree leaves. Blood Food continued:
"How about I trade this with you."
This is the blood food of low-level monsters that she and the cat demon found yesterday. This thing was very precious in the wilderness, so she kept her share and was not willing to eat it.
At this moment, it can be seen that this piece of blood food is stained with a lot of dust, covered with sharp teeth marks, and even moldy in some places.
But even so, it was still hidden by the little snake girl and she was reluctant to eat it. Now when he suddenly took it out, his eyes were filled with hesitation.
"Keep the things for yourself."
"But I'm very curious about your elongation and shortening magic, but what about the magic of enlarging and shrinking?"
Su Changsheng's mind moved, he glanced at the latter intently, and asked with narrowed eyes.
"Nah!"
"It's a method of shrinking and expanding bones. It's something I learned from a human book."
"Actually, it's not magic."
"Let me test it and see for you."
The little snake girl Bai scratched her head and said.
She first took back the blood food in her hand. Although she was a little disappointed, thinking that Su Changsheng would not agree to the exchange, she still showed off her ability to enlarge and shrink.
This technique can adjust one's bones and internal organs, and then change back and forth at a height of about two meters.
The effect is ordinary.
It is completely incomparable to magic skills such as shrinking talismans. It cannot even be called a magic skill. It can only be a simple ability to move the body.
"Okay, that's it!"
"No more demonstrations."
"Although this ability is average, it still inspires me. Well, I also have a shrinking rune here, which is just right for you."
"I have the rune making method here. You can take it back and try it first to see if you can learn it."
Su Changsheng returned to the house, then took out an animal skin scroll that he had prepared a long time ago, and handed it to the little snake girl in her delighted eyes.
Rune making method: shrinking runes!
With his current strength, he can already mentally carve out the rune-making method, and this rune-making method also incorporates his innate power.
You don’t have to worry about exposing your own problems.
The shrinking talisman is a very common mainland item in the Black Mountain Monster Village, and many monsters know it. Even if the little snake girl has a problem, it will not cause any trouble.
Most importantly, he needs to experiment and test with abbreviations.
"This rune is very good. Although it only has the ability to shrink, but with luck, it may be possible to develop the power of making it larger and smaller."
"Go back and study hard!"
Su Changsheng patted the little snake girl on the shoulder. Although there was a smile on his face, there was no wave in his eyes.
"Um...can wrinkles be practiced?"
Little Snake Girl Bai's face was full of happiness, but she still didn't forget Black Cat Wrinkle, and asked with a hint of frustration.
"The method of runes can only be learned through mental induction, allowing one's own spirit to blend with the energy inside, and it can be learned slowly, so it cannot be passed on to other demons."
"And it's not suitable for practicing abbreviations. I have magic runes and techniques that are more suitable for it. If it wants to practice, just let it come to me."
Su Changsheng smiled bitterly.
He briefly explained some basic knowledge about magic runes to the little snake girl Bai, and then sent the curious baby away completely.
Seeing the little snake girl leaving happily, he stopped in front of his room without moving. After a long time, he sighed quietly:
"The White Lady, the Tiger King, the Demon King of the Black Mountain? The little snake girl Bai, the little cat Demon Wrinkle, the Lord of the White Mountain?"
"The reincarnation of the great demon is suspected of being immortal?"
"Is everything like a new reincarnation?"
"I do not believe!"
"I want to see who is behind this."
…
Next, time gradually approaches the end of the year.
The drought has taken full shape.
Survival in the wilderness is becoming increasingly difficult. Fortunately, in the Baishan area, there seems to be sufficient groundwater, and the mountain springs have not dried up for a while.
Relying on this small mountain spring, the demon people in Baishan Village live as stubbornly and strong as weeds.
Life is very hard, but it is not the life that many wild monsters yearn for.
The little snake girl Bai also stopped recruiting wild monsters and controlled the number of monsters in Baishan Monster Village to about three hundred.
Even more births are not allowed.
She seems to be naturally good at these managements. Although she does not understand what the upper limit of the environment is, she still actively chooses to control the number of demons in the demon village.
Coupled with the fact that he used the name of the Lord of the White Mountain to show his power, he managed the small demon village in an orderly manner.
But what Su Changsheng didn't expect was that Little Snake Girl Bai's progress in practicing the shrinking talisman was very slow, or it could be said that there was basically no progress.
Perhaps due to long-term malnutrition, or perhaps due to a lack of knowledge about related runes, for a whole month, she had only just reached the threshold of entry in the abbreviated runes.
This damn inexplicable feeling of familiarity!
Why the hell is it exactly the same as when he practiced the Turtle Breathing Technique on the Crossroads!
"interesting!"
"Did you conceal it on purpose? Or did you guess wrong? It really has nothing to do with the White Lady?"
"But it doesn't matter, as long as you practice..."
Su Changsheng looked at the cyan flame threads flying in his hand, thoughtfully.
The green fire silk thread has gradually integrated into the little snake girl Bai's body as she continues to study the shrinking talisman.
Although its effect is not obvious yet, and its status, orientation, etc. can only be slightly sensed, it is an insurance after all.
Don't worry about whether it's useful or not, just leave a hole first.
"Oh, I didn't expect that I would be like this."
Su Changsheng put away the cyan thread and smiled to himself.
Thinking about how much he used to hate the hidden pits in sorcery, but now he takes the initiative to set them up, I have to say that things have really changed, and I only regret that the great powers are not myself!
It’s just the way it is.
"It's just that the speed of cultivation is getting slower and slower. It's not an option to continue like this. Maybe it's time to find an opportunity to see what's going on in the Black Mountain Demon Village."
The resources here in Baishan simply cannot allow him to continue to advance. Moreover, it is under a severe drought and resources are even scarcer.
It has seriously slowed down the progress of spiritual practice. Materials such as three elixirs were used one less than one due to the lack of corresponding materials for refining.
Even the runes are like that.
After the medium runes reach the minor level, they need to use higher-level rune materials because they contain stronger power.
Although there are still some runes stored around him, it is still far from enough for him.
Not to mention the healing charm.
The healing runes at the Xiaocheng level are powerful, no amount is too much, they can save lives at critical moments.
The Little Poison Dragon Shedding Talisman is related to the power of talent, and it can also have a certain effect on the evolution of talent, so it is urgently needed.
In addition, there is a serious lack of knowledge in the wilderness, and there is no high-level way to obtain it. Therefore, if he wants to go further, he can only contact the Black Mountain Monster Village again.
At the very least, we must find a way to go to Dragon Falling Ridge.
After all, it is difficult to raise a dragon in shallow water. Only on a larger stage can we go one step further and even get a glimpse of the realm of the great demon.
But this matter cannot be rushed.
The reason why he stayed in the wilderness and did not go to the Black Mountain Demon Village was firstly to wait for the situation to stabilize, and secondly to have the idea of establishing his own power.
Baishan Village is just a preliminary experiment.
After he understood enough about all aspects of the wild monster, he could start the next plan.
Whether it is Baishan Village, or even Black Mountain Demon Village, You Village, etc., they are just his springboard.
Being poor in one place is not an option.
Only to keep moving upward and pursue the path to immortality is what he longs for.
"Not urgent!"
"If the Black Mountain Demon Village has been cultivating for more than half a year, it should have gradually stabilized.
"The difference between Baishan Village and Black Mountain Demon Village is only 1,800 miles. I think it shouldn't be too difficult to send some news."
"Just wait slowly!"
Su Changsheng analyzed in his mind.
He is cautious by nature and would rather the news comes to him than confirm it himself.
When it's time to make sure everything is safe, it's never too late to go there in person.
…
Sure enough, just as he expected, just half a month later, a wild demon who had taken refuge in Baishan Demon Village brought news.
"You mean, a huge demon market has been established in the Black Mountain Demon Village? They welcome various demon villages or other wild demons in the wilderness to go to the demon market to exchange information?"
"Even those with excellent qualifications and paying enough materials can become high-class demon citizens in the Black Mountain Demon Village?"
Su Changsheng frowned and asked.
"yes!"
"The Black Mountain Demon Village has indeed been re-established. The entire Demon Village is a huge demon market. It is said that there are large caravans from millions of miles away coming here to trade."
"It is said that the caravan will carry more advanced techniques, more precious elixirs, and even a quota to go to Dragon Falling Ridge. As long as there are demon coins, everything is possible."
The little snake girl described it with joy.
But Su Changsheng noticed the words caravan and demon coins.
"Demon coins?"
"what is that?"
he wondered.
"have no idea!"
"However, the Black Mountain Demon Village has released news that it will acquire all the demon clan's talent materials and various resources from the Black Mountain Mountains in exchange for something called demon coins."
"Many big demon villages have already gone to trade. Do you think we should go there and have a look? In these days, our demon people in Baishan Village have also accumulated some talent materials."
"Perhaps we can take the opportunity to buy some magic or skills?"
The little snake girl's white eyes were bright, and she became more and more excited as she talked.
'It seems that the battle did cause irreparable damage to the Black Mountain Demon Village, and even caused them to change the mode of the Demon Village, and had to put down their bodies and deal with the wild monsters in the wilderness. '
'You must know that the Black Mountain Monster Village in the past regarded the wild monsters as food. It was kind enough not to kill them at will. How could they open the monster market to the outside world? '
'Perhaps there is also a reason for falling to Dragon Ridge? Is this learning the ruling model over there? '
Su Changsheng saw clearly.
The previous three villages in Heishan were all based on the same model, like a closed kingdom.
The upper levels of the demon village control high-level materials and knowledge, while the lower levels of the demon village control low-level materials and knowledge.
Even if there are occasional wild monsters that turn into monster people, they cannot spread that knowledge into the wilderness on a large scale.
Doing this ensures the status of the three Black Mountain villages in this area to a certain extent. After all, knowledge and information are not circulated, and no matter how talented the wild monsters are, they cannot surpass them.
The final outcome would be to end up in the Three Villages and become a high-level loser. Or live in the wilderness, there is no other option.
But now, the Black Mountain Demon Village has broken the established pattern of a hundred years and started to open the demon market to the wild monsters in the entire wilderness to exchange what they have.
This process is bound to be accompanied by the outflow of knowledge and information.
If it weren't for the impact of the war, or the involvement of Falling Dragon Ridge, he didn't believe that the selfish demon village senior officials would choose to do this.
"You want to go?"
Su Changsheng looked at the little snake girl Bai, with a flash of green light in his eyes, and asked softly.
"Uh-huh!"
"Not just me, Wrinkle also wants to go and have a look."
The little snake girl Bai pointed at the silent and still suspicious Black Cat Wrinkle.
This guy is usually reluctant to come to see Su Changsheng, probably because the same sex repels and opposite sex attracts.
Even if you learn the knowledge of hair removal runes from him, it will only reduce your hostility.
But I had to come today.
After all, he is the only second-level demon clan in Baishan Village, so he always needs to be consulted. Moreover, Su Changsheng comes from the Black Mountain Demon Village and knows the situation along the way.
"That's fine!"
"I also want to go back and have a look. Let's just go together."
"However, the wilderness is full of dangers. Although the White Mountain is not too far from the Black Mountain Demon Village, it is not close either. With the strength of the three demons you and I, there is still no guarantee that we can get there without any risk."
"You must be mentally prepared."
Su Changsheng warned.
The little snake girl Bai frowned. She naturally understood the dangers in the wilderness. The distance was nearly a thousand miles. There was no need to think about it, and she would definitely encounter various and endless crises along the way.
"Didn't you arrive here safely?"
Black Cat Wrinkle suddenly asked.
This guy is quite clever. Although he has always been taciturn, his mind is quite sharp.
Su Changsheng was noncommittal and said calmly: "Even if I have escaped all the way here, it was just relying on the power of various runes, and it was purely a fluke."
"I even almost died on the road."
The little snake girl Bai and the black cat wrinkled looked at each other, and after a long time, the former said anxiously: "What should we do? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, we have to pass it."
"Of course I have to go."
Su Changsheng took the topic, looked up at the huge Baishan Mountain behind him, and pointedly said: "Before going, why don't you say hello to Mr. Baishan?"
"Perhaps...he will give some guidance!"
