Two hours later, Jiang Yun said goodbye. After putting all Yun Jun into his belt, Bai Li sent him to the island where the Li Kong Turtle clan lived. Soon Jiang Yun returned to the Spirit Beast Mountain station on the floating island.
After entering his room, Jiang Yun swept away the futon in the room with a wave of his sleeves, and then threw the futon, a top-quality magic weapon that had been used for decades, on the ground. The futon became two meters in diameter, then took off his shoes and lay down. Go up.
Jiang Yun has been using this futon for too many years and is really not used to other futons.
Jiang Yun took out three jade slips from the storage bag, which were the map presented by the deacon who led the way, the map presented by Lin Chiyue, and the map where the old man marked the location where the monster insect corpse was obtained.
Among them, Lin Chiyue gave the map and said that this map was owned by the core tribesmen of the major forces in the Zijin Kingdom and was not allowed to be viewed by outsiders. However, Brother Jiang was not considered an outsider, so it was okay.
Jiang Yun began to watch attentively, and after reading all three jade slips, he let out a breath. He said softly: "The Zijin Kingdom intends to let reinforcements from various countries fight with the main force of monster insects."
"This is understandable. After all, Zijin has been greatly weakened by the insect plague. We have to consider what happens after the insect plague."
"That stupid girl probably doesn't know the consequences of leaking this map. I hope she won't be stupid enough to tell others."
"The underground demonic insect forces are roughly divided into three large areas in terms of depth. The safe area from the surface to a depth of five thousand meters will basically not have demonic insects above level five."
"Five thousand meters to ten thousand meters deep is a dangerous area, and the probability of encountering demonic insects above level five increases greatly. All strongholds and supply points are guarded by monks in the alchemy stage. There are even some key large strongholds with several monks in the alchemy stage. They were stationed and a teleportation array was set up.”
"As for the area above 10,000 meters, especially near the ancient formation, it is the battlefield for the Yuanying old monster and the Danjie monks."
"According to the jade slip provided by the old man, the place where the body was found was near Stronghold No. 47. It is six thousand meters deep and is already in a dangerous area. The old man is very courageous."
The deeper you go into the underground strongholds, the greater the number.
There are a total of thirty strongholds within a depth of 5,000 meters, but there are more than 150 strongholds within a range of 5,000 to 10,000 meters, all of which are built at spiritual veins or key places. Due to the defensive pressure, completely different.
"The defensive mission of our team is to go to Stronghold No. 23, hunt the monster insects centered on the stronghold, and help defend the stronghold. The depth is about 5,500 meters. It is a bit dangerous, but it is not a death mission."
"Although the depth difference between Stronghold 23 and Stronghold 26 is only about 500 meters, the straight-line distance between the two is more than 30 kilometers, plus the twists and turns of the underground passages and the problem of getting lost...forget it, Let’s take it one step at a time.”
"With the Wind Hidden Technique and the True Hidden Talisman, the demonic insects cannot release their spiritual consciousness, so they should be unable to detect me."
"I just want to steal a young scorpion. After all, Qinghuo is very good at stealing things. It's not too much to find its lair, use its spiritual pupils to monitor it from a distance, and then take two big scorpions out to hunt for food." Well, I think the scorpion parents will be happy for their children if they know that they have such a good master like me."
Jiang Yun thought shamelessly...
On the second day, Jiang Yun left the manor with nearly seventy of his men and walked towards the underground entrance.
Although there are teleportation arrays set up in a few large underground strongholds, the price of teleportation is very scary. Jiang Yun's men can't afford it, and Jiang Yun has no intention of paying for them, so he should go ahead honestly.
There is naturally more than one entrance to the underground, so Jiang Yun chose an entrance to the west.
When we first entered the underground, the tunnel was very wide, with a diameter of several feet. There were even moonstones inlaid at intervals, so there was no need to worry about the brightness.
The group of people slowly walked deeper into the cave. Gradually, they discovered that only the main road was inlaid with moonstones, and the main road was connected to countless caves. As long as those caves were less than a hundred meters deep, there would no longer be moonstones.
Sometimes the cave is quiet without a sound, and sometimes there are rustling crawling sounds and the sounds of fighting coming from unknown places.
Jiang Yun understood that even if there was no battle, his nerves would be tense in this environment, and he would have to return to the stronghold to rest before he could stay for too long.
Everyone continued to go deeper underground. Although they also encountered many demonic insects, they were all low-level demonic insects that were too lazy to harvest the materials after killing them.
After all, there is now an overflow of demon insect materials in the Zijin Kingdom, and the materials for low-level demon insects have reached an incredible level. This is good news for very poor casual cultivators, because the price of low-grade magic weapons made of monster insect materials is actually half cheaper than those made of monster beast materials.
Lu Tianmeng was very confused and became the vanguard. He and several of his subordinates in the Qi training period were thinking about whether Lu Tianmeng had offended Jiang Yun in some way.
In this way, everyone slowly headed underground.
A month later, somewhere in a wide cave space underground.
The cave space here is very wide, and there is actually a small river flowing through it. There are patches of blue algae beside the river, emitting a faint blue light.
However, at this time, wisps of light green appeared in the river water, and the corpses of dozens of huge black spider monsters were scattered in the cave, with green blood flowing out.
"Junior Brother Lu Tianmeng, thank you for your hard work. This is a healing elixir. Take it quickly."
"Ahem! Thank you, Senior Brother Jiang!" Then there was a sound of vomiting blood~
"You're welcome. This is what I should do as a senior brother. The tasks of opening roads these days are all undertaken by my junior brother. Thank you for your hard work, junior brother."
"Senior brother, I have always thought that junior brother is very good, far beyond the comparison of other junior brothers and sisters. Although I have the intention to let others take your place, I am worried that they are not as capable as you, junior brother, so I can only trouble junior brother.!"
Seeing that Lu Tianmeng's face was turning purple and almost turning the color of pig liver, Jiang Yun continued: "However, junior brother is seriously injured this time. You should go to the back of the team to rest first. I will personally bear the responsibility of opening the way in the next few days."
"Junior brother, you have to recover from your injuries as soon as possible. When I get back to the ground, I will ask for credit for junior brother in front of Master Ouyang, and I will share the spoils with junior brother."
After hearing Jiang Yun's words, Lu Tianmeng showed an ugly smile and said, "Thank you, senior brother!" After saying that, he limped towards the back of the team.
Along the way, the other brothers and sisters showed kind smiles to him, but most people's eyes were full of envy, and a few people's eyes showed a trace of ridicule and gloating.
Everyone in Spirit Beast Mountain has been getting along for a month. Most people who are not smart enough think that Jiang Yun really values Lu Tianmeng.
Jiang Yun was very friendly to Lu Tianmeng on weekdays and often talked to him. Not only did he give him the responsibility of opening the way, he also gave him an extra share of the loot. He even helped Senior Brother Lu take credit for it. Every time Lu Tianmeng was injured, he would also give him healing elixirs.
But a few smart people understood that Lu Tianmeng was being targeted, and no matter how many trophies or so-called requests for merit, he had to be able to get back alive.
Jiang Yun looked at the crowd and said loudly: "Junior Brother Hu, Junior Sister Han, you will guard the surroundings with me. The rest of the people who are injured will deal with their injuries. Those who are not injured will quickly deal with the bodies of the monster insects. The blood of the monster insects floated away along the river, and soon It might attract other monsters, so we have to leave as soon as possible."
Everyone sped up their actions, and a few days later everyone arrived at Stronghold No. 23 to start resting.
This stronghold was built from huge pieces of black stone. It was very strong, with an area equivalent to a football field, and a large defensive formation was also deployed.
There are more than a dozen foundation-building monks and one early-stage pill-forming monk stationed in the stronghold for a long time.
Any stronghold formation underground will remain open. Although this will consume a lot of spiritual stones, there is no way.
In addition, the mineral veins in the underground world are very rich. So far, three small spiritual stone veins, eleven micro spiritual stone veins, and dozens of spiritual mineral veins have been found in the work with the monster insects.
Although the value is far less than the resources Zijin Kingdom currently pays, Zijin Kingdom at least does not lose everything.
It has been a month and a half since everyone trekked for half a month to this stronghold. After reporting to the alchemy monks on duty, they went out to hunt monsters and insects centered on this stronghold.
In a certain quiet room, a small formation was slowly moving in the quiet room.
"I have to find a way to escape. The longer the time goes by, the more likely it is that King Scorpion of the Golden Thunder Land will leave that place. It would be great if I can just refuse the task of leading the team arranged by Uncle Jiang on the flying boat."
Jiang Yun was a little distressed. After all, the longer time passed, the lower the probability of finding the Golden Thunder King Scorpion. Jiang Yun knew the habits of this kind of demonic insect. This kind of demonic insect likes minerals or earth-attribute spiritual stones. Generally, it will stay for a long time when it finds a mineral vein, and will not leave until it has eaten up everything it can eat.
"We can only take one step at a time."
Three days later, everyone in Spirit Beast Mountain left the stronghold again to hunt monster insects.
A week later, somewhere in a cave full of stone pillars.
At this time, Jiang Yun and others were fighting a group of armored ants. They saw three five-foot-wide openings on the cave floor, and from time to time, an armored ant would crawl out of it.
Two first-level armored ants were quickly crawling towards a male cultivator who was in the late stages of Qi training.
The male cultivator took out a green flying sword, and with one finger of one hand, the flying sword turned into a green light and attacked one of the first-level armored ants.
"clang!"
I saw this middle-grade flying sword piercing the armored ant's carapace and being bounced away instantly. The only result was a white mark on the armored ant's carapace.
The male cultivator's expression changed, and he quickly clasped his hands when he saw the armored ants getting closer, and two green spiritual vines sprang out from his feet and rolled towards the armored ants.
Just when the spirit vine wrapped around an armored ant, another one next to it immediately pounced on it and began to bite the spirit vine crazily. Soon the spirit vine was bitten to pieces and turned into aura and dissipated.
The male cultivator couldn't help but have a look of panic on his face. He didn't expect that the spells and magic weapons he was good at were useless.
Just as the two armored ants were getting closer, two fireballs passed from behind like meteors and landed accurately on the two armored ants.
"Boom!" "Boom!"
With the sound of two explosions, the previously menacing armored ant was blown away, part of its body turned into a charred black color, and it became motionless.
The male cultivator turned around and looked at Uncle Jiang, who was controlling more than thirty puppets in the distance, with a look of reverence in his eyes. He took a deep breath and went to help other fellow Taoists.
At this time, Jiang Yun stood on a rocket gun and observed the surrounding battlefield, and would provide precise rescue wherever there was a crisis.
But even so, due to the large number of spiritual insects, many people were still injured, and several disciples during the Qi training period also died.
Suddenly, Jiang Yun frowned and flew into the air. As his hands made secrets, red aura emitted from his fingertips. Two red magic formations with a diameter of one foot began to form on the left and right sides of Jiang Yun.
In less than a breath, the two magic formations were completely formed. The magic formations rotated slowly, and spiritual patterns were looming on the magic formations. At the same time, countless fireballs appeared in front of the magic formations.
Jiang Yun actually released two fire rain techniques at the same time!
As Jiang Yun pointed forward, countless fireballs shot out, but the place where they hit turned out to be an open space.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
All the fireballs shot out in a very short period of time, creating a violent explosion. The dazzling firelight illuminated the wide cave in red.
Jiang Yun looked at the blazing fire without any joy. As his hands changed, countless fireballs were formed in front of the magic circle and then shot out.
Although the other disciples had some doubts, they understood that Jiang Yun would not do anything meaningless, and when they saw Jiang Yun's solemn expression, they invariably became alert.
The second wave of fireballs produced another big explosion, but this time the explosion was accompanied by a piercing roar.
As the fire gradually dissipated, what appeared in front of us was a huge deep pit on the ground. Five giant armored ants, one foot tall and two feet long, with extremely shiny black carapace crawled out of it.
Lu Tianmeng looked very ugly and said in a low voice: "There are still five Level 4 armored ants." He couldn't help but want to take a few steps back.
The rest of the disciples also looked ashen. They only had Jiang Yun, a late-stage foundation-building monk. How could they deal with five level four monster insects that were comparable to those of late-stage foundation-building monks!
At the same time, countless low-level armored ants crawled out of the caves under the armored ants and crawled towards the people in Spirit Beast Mountain like a tide.
Jiang Yun shouted loudly: "Comrades! I will hold down these beasts and you will evacuate this place immediately. This is an order!"
Jiang Yun's voice was not very loud, but his tone was very calm, giving people a sense of reliability.
"But senior brother..." Chen Xuegang from Jinjiao Peak was about to say something, but Jiang Yun interrupted: "Execute the order!"
After saying that, he waved his sleeves and dozens of talismans turned into streaks of golden light and flew behind them. With the violent explosion, all the armored ants behind everyone were blown away. At the same time, the puppets began to focus on attacking three small ants behind everyone. At the entrance of the hole, I want to prevent the armored ants from continuing to crawl out of the hole.
In this way, the road behind everyone was clear.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Yun's men were overjoyed and quickly began to retreat. Some of the hesitant people gritted their teeth and retreated when faced with a life or death decision.
Chen Xue didn't want to retreat at first, but Jiang Yunzhuanyin didn't know what he said, so he decisively chased the team. Soon everyone evacuated through the passage they came from.
Jiang Yun nodded with satisfaction when he saw everyone retreating, but he was still a little worried, so he made a seal with both hands, and five fireballs formed around his body. With a flick of his hand, the fireballs turned into five streams of light and flew towards the passage.
With a rumble, the retreat path collapsed.
Jiang Yun breathed a sigh of relief and said softly: "These burdensome people are finally gone. I can move around freely below."
Jiang Yun looked at the armored ant swarm in front of him without any panic or nervousness. Jiang Yun slapped his belt, and the fourth-level insect mother, hundreds of second-level daughter insects, Haoriwu Xiaojin and other fire-attribute spiritual pets appeared in the air.
At the same time, Jiang Yun stretched out his hand, and the Golden Crow Flag appeared in his hand. With the input of spiritual power, the Golden Crow Flag quickly grew in size and turned into a gorgeous spiritual flag that was ten feet long and exuded golden spiritual flames.
Jiang Yun's whole body of spiritual energy was directed toward the Golden Crow Flag, and the golden flames became more intense and dazzling.
Jiang Yun waved one hand, and a huge spiritual bird formed by golden spiritual flames let out a soft cry and flew towards the armor. Xiaojin and the spiritual insects opened their mouths and breathed fire.
The spiritual fire that filled the sky covered the armored ant colony like a tsunami.
