Chapter 30 The Rumored Demon
In the inn room, there were wooden boxes storing demon blood and masks on the bed. A bamboo cage with weasels was locked in the corner of the wall. Half a roast chicken was placed outside the cage. Sometimes, two claws poked out from the inside, tore some of the chicken and retracted it.
Lu Jiu sat at his desk and compared the Anqing Provincial Map he purchased before, he found the area marked on the map in the Crow Box.
Thirty miles southwest of Qing Ding City, Lianfeng Mountains.
It is located between the two counties, Qing Ding City and Xingyu City. It is named after the mountains and continuous in the area.
Also, because monsters are rampant in the mountains, it is a famous place in Anqing Province. Ordinary caravans or tourists from all over the country would rather take a long way to avoid this place.
Of course, there are also those who are bold, but most of these people have become missing people published in newspapers in their predecessors' memories.
The predecessor had made special reports on this kind of report, so when Lu Jiu saw the name of this mountain range, information emerged immediately.
Someone may ask why the county governments in Qingding City and Xingyu City do not manage this mountain range. Here we have to mention the current situation of the Shenglong Dynasty.
The territory of the Shenglong Dynasty was nearly one-third higher than that of the Celestial Empire in Lu Jiu's previous life, but nearly one-third less population, which made the distance between counties and towns in various places quite far. Although local urban industrial reforms have been implemented for many years and the urban expansion speed is not slow, the scale of development is ultimately limited.
The Lianfeng Mountains are located at the edge of the radiation range of these two cities. It takes one to two days to wait for the news to be heard back to the county governments in both places. When the county government sends people out, it has been two or three days since the round trip. From this, the difficulty of management can be imagined.
Of course, putting aside these objective factors above, there is another main reason, that is, the county governments in the two places do not have that strength!
As early as five years ago, in order to pave the railway, the prefect of Zhiyuan Prefecture requested the commander of Anqing Province to recruit 3,000 elite soldiers to carry a large amount of equipment to try to clear a route that can be used for train driving in the outer part of the Lianfeng Mountains.
As a result, the three thousand people retreated in less than ten days after entering Lianfeng Mountain.
No one dared to mention the specific situation, and there was no clear report in the newspaper, but the train tracks between Xingyu City and Qingding City were clearly laid on the ground for twenty miles!
Before even the chief of the government came forward, who would go up to find bad luck unless the magistrates of the two county towns were squirting their legs when they were squirting their legs?
At present, the crow has released 10 silver dollars and commissioned the Liu family craftsman to build a mask with a unique style to prevent miasma in the mountains. The map in his hand clearly marked a place in the Lianfeng Mountains, which was obviously an attempt.
Now that it has fallen into Lu Jiu's hands, it has made him difficult.
On the one hand, Lu Jiu is almost certain that there should be something special in this marked location, otherwise it would not be worth the effort of the crow.
But on the other hand, just like two county towns are helpless against the Lianfeng Mountains, Lu Jiu is afraid that he will not be able to go even if he gets these two things. He has no experience in exploring the wilderness, and even with a map, he may not be able to find a place.
Not to mention that monsters entrenched in Lianfeng Mountains, even demon veins like Sandraku, who have extraordinary abilities, had to make sufficient preparations before he dared to pass. Lu Jiu believed that he did not have the strength of his, so he rushed to the mountains to deliver lunch boxes to monsters. He could not do such a thing as a matter of rushing thirty miles to the mountains.
With this in mind, Lu Jiu temporarily extinguished his mind to find out the truth. He must be self-aware, at least he is not qualified now.
I folded the map again and accidentally caught a glimpse of the pentagonal black metal card that was previously wrapped in the map and was not known for its use. I took it in my hand and looked through it. I pursed my lips and put it back into the wooden box together with the map.
Next is the real highlight of tonight.
He got up and walked quickly to the door of the room. After listening to the sound in the corridor outside for a while, he confirmed that there was no one. Then Lu Jiu lifted another box from the bed to the table.
First, take out the six bottles of demon blood and their own bamboo tubes separately, and place them side by side on the table. There is also a measuring cup that you asked for from the Ganoderma Trap store. First, wash it with the white water on the table before putting it in place.
Lu Jiu was not in a hurry to drink, but took out his notepad and tore a page of paper, compared the names of the monsters written on the labels of the six bottles of demon blood, and copied them all.
The blood of the horned deer is not in the flow.
The wolf's blood on the back is not flowing.
......
White-haired monkey blood, qi level!
The six bottles of demon blood and five bottles are all influx of demon blood. Only the last bottle of blood belonging to the white-haired monkey is considered to be influx, and it is the lowest level of influx, the qi level.
He muttered the handwriting on the paper softly, and Lu Jiu recalled the conversation with the store at Ganoderma Hall in the afternoon.
Hu Sanniang only allowed him to ask one question, but did not say that he was only allowed to ask Hu Sanniang.
After getting the demon blood, Lu Jiu took the opportunity to ask the store for information about the monsters in the name of research. The latter didn't know much, but fortunately, there was no intention of hiding the silver coins placed on the counter.
With this, Lu Jiu has a preliminary understanding of the monsters that exist in this world, and finally understands what the incompetent monsters Hu Sanniang said are.
The so-called inequality monsters are monsters like weasels that have certain special abilities but have not yet developed their intelligence, and they rely more on wild beasts to survive. They are widely distributed in various parts of the Shenglong Dynasty and have poor strength. It is not difficult for ordinary monster hunting teams to hunt them as long as they are fully equipped.
However, once the monster enters the current, that is, it grows to the qi level, the situation will be completely different.
The most prominent sign of the qi-level monster is that it can produce demonic energy, which is also the origin of the naming of the "qi-level" level. At this point, the monster has escaped from the beast to a certain extent and became a real monster. Not only does it gradually increase in its spiritual intelligence, its own abilities will also be greatly improved.
If you want to hunt monsters of this level, the difficulty will be more than several times higher than that of facing inequality monsters. You must be well-trained and tacitly hunting teams. It is best if there are one or two "masters" in the team, namely demon veins or people who have taken special injections to enhance their physique.
The gray-feathered crow that Lu Jiu had seen before was an qi-level monster. It was a demonic vein with close strength to the spiritual awakening level. At that time, Lu Jiu relied on his own particularity to win. If it were an ordinary person, the digging attack would have already taken his life.
Above the qi level, that is the Dan level, but when you go to the store, you said that you have never seen such a monster until now. You just occasionally hear people talk about it, and you can't tell the details.
As for the higher-level monster that Lu Jiu imagined was flying and surging, the store owner said that it had disappeared hundreds of years ago and now it only exists in folk legends.
Why did such a powerful monster disappear?
At first, Lu Jiu believed that there were extremely powerful figures among demon veins or practitioners, and led the human race to suppress the demon race, which made the current prosperity of the human race.
However, when he expressed his guess, the store owner replied only one sentence:
‘Have you heard of any powerful practitioners everywhere over the years?’
After that, the store took the initiative to end the topic.
Chapter completed!
