Chapter 373: Young Jiao

Li Yi didn't know where that old man named Nanshan Bo had run to, and he didn't go to chase him, nor did he dare to help.

He squatted near the kitchen and gnawed on this piece of Jiao dragon meat.

After eating until full, Li Yi channeled his Qi and blood to digest the Qi and blood essence of this Jiao dragon meat as quickly as possible. After digesting it, he ate another mouthful. Repeating this, a piece of Jiao dragon meat was finally finished, and his body was shining with silver light, his whole person's Qi and blood surging terrifyingly, and his body had endless energy.

And this Jiao dragon meat seemed to have some kind of magical medicinal effect. He felt that the tendons all over his body had been nourished, were stretching, growing, and becoming stronger.

"No wonder some people say dragon tendons and tiger bones. It seems Jiao dragon meat can nourish tendons, and the flesh and blood of this eight-hundred-year-old Jiao dragon is a truly rare medicine. If it were given to Master and the others to share, it could definitely reshape their tendons and bones and climb to the peak of martial arts again." Li Yi thought to himself, and at the same time, he wanted to take some good things back to show filial piety to Master.

It was just that this Jiao dragon cost eight hundred gold, and he really couldn't afford it. He could only eat a few mouthfuls here.

But afterward, Li Yi suddenly remembered again.

In that shop selling Jiao dragons in the market, besides a large eight-hundred-year-old Jiao, there was also a small Jiao. Perhaps he could afford it.

Afterward, he rubbed the red gold in his hand.

One piece of red gold is worth one hundred gold.

Buying that small Jiao shouldn't be a problem, and if it really doesn't work, he could add some exotic fruits.

Thinking of this, Li Yi soon took action. After eating until full, he left the kitchen and walked toward the outside of the residence. The servants passing by just lowered their heads to make way, neither blocking nor asking, which made him walk out very easily.

However, outside the door, that warrior Qi from before saw Li Yi, saluted respectfully, and then asked: "Distinguished guest, where are you going?"

"I'm going to the slave market to buy something." Li Yi didn't hide it and said directly.

"Do you need Qi to accompany you?" Warrior Qi inquired.

Li Yi thought for a moment and felt that North Wasteland City was so big, and it wasn't very safe for him to be alone, so he nodded and said: "Good, then I'll trouble you."

Warrior Qi said something to his companion and followed Li Yi out.

Li Yi had a good memory. Following the previous road, he soon found the shop selling exotic beasts before, but he didn't see the trace of that small Jiao. The cages were locked with other unknown exotic beasts, which also looked extraordinary.

"Shopkeeper, has that young Jiao from yesterday been sold?" He asked directly.

The shopkeeper came to greet him and said: "So it's the caravan master from yesterday. That small Jiao had already lost its mother and didn't want to live. Taking advantage of people not paying attention, it self-mutilated its body. Although it didn't die, it was already broken. The goods weren't beautiful, so I placed it behind the shop, intending to cook and eat it tonight. If the guest is interested, I'll have someone take it out."

Li Yi said: "I am interested."

The shopkeeper was quite happy and immediately ordered the servants to carry that small Jiao out.

Soon.

A sturdy man carried an iron cage on his back and walked out from the shop. In that iron cage, a young Jiao was bound by ropes. Its body was incomplete, full of bite marks, and its flesh and blood were blurred. Since its skin was broken and its tendons were injured, its value was greatly reduced, and it was indeed not easy to sell outside.

Li Yi looked at the dying small Jiao and knew that this thing couldn't be raised, so he bought it intending to stew it for meat. He asked: "Shopkeeper, how much for this?"

The shopkeeper thought for a moment and immediately said: "Fifty gold, how about it?"

Fifty gold is half a piece of red gold, which is within Li Yi's acceptable range. He immediately handed over that piece of red gold, didn't bargain, and said directly: "I'll buy it."

The shopkeeper took that piece of red gold and immediately smiled, then immediately ordered the servants to grab that young Jiao out of the cage.

Warrior Qi on the side immediately walked up and took that young Jiao, holding it in his hand.

And the shopkeeper also handed Li Yi five coins. This should be change, but these five coins were not red gold, but greenish copper, which also had strange brilliance on them, very magical.

This is green gold, one piece is worth ten gold.

Li Yi roughly understood the currency system of this world. After he took these five coins, he left with Warrior Qi.

But just after walking out of the market, he didn't want to return to Xiu Xiang's residence. He said to Warrior Qi: "Qi, I have other things to do and need to leave North Wasteland City. Please bid farewell to Xiu Xiang for me, thank Xiu Xiang for his hospitality, and when I come to North Wasteland City another day, I will definitely visit to thank him for his care."

"Guest, where are you going? Do you need my company?" Warrior Qi asked.

Li Yi said: "I'm going to travel, one person is enough. Thank you for your escort this trip. I have nothing to give you, so I'll gift you these remaining fifty gold. I hope you don't mind it being little."

Saying this, he took the young Jiao bound in Qi's hand, and at the same time sent those five coins to Qi, then walked toward the outside of North Wasteland City with large strides.

Warrior Qi didn't follow this time, but wished Li Yi a smooth journey, and then turned back alone, preparing to report this matter to the caravan master.

But Li Yi had already left the city at this moment, with no intention of lingering at all.

After leaving North Wasteland City, he galloped along the direction he came from. When there was no one around, he immediately released the Thunder Fighter from his storage magic treasure, then boarded the Thunder Fighter directly and flew rapidly toward the direction of Shoushan Village.

Looking at the increasingly distant North Wasteland City, Li Yi, sitting in the cockpit, finally heaved a slight sigh of relief.

There are too many powerhouses in this world, and they can be seen everywhere on the street. It is simply not suitable for him to stay now. He can be said to be walking on thin ice here, not only worrying about provoking strong enemies but also worrying about exposing his identity and attracting hatred. If he doesn't leave quickly, once something happens, he fears it will be very difficult to escape.

"It's just a pity that I couldn't rescue Jiang Mingtian and the others." Li Yi felt regretful in his heart, but he was truly powerless and could only pin his hopes on Xiu Xiang helping him.

However, after his strength became powerful, he would still return here.

The Thunder Fighter's speed was very fast. After breaking the sound barrier, it was still accelerating, and in less than two minutes, it had arrived above Shoushan Village again. However, at this moment, the villagers of Shoushan Village didn't know that a fighter was flying overhead. They were still immersed in the grief of losing their High Priest and most powerful warrior.

After identifying the direction, Li Yi directed the Thunder Fighter toward the dense forest outside that canyon. Soon.

Following the landing of the fighter, Li Yi returned to the place where he had been attacked before. He looked left and right, but saw that of the previous six high-energy light beam cannons, only two remained intact, and the others had been destroyed. However, the energy source hadn't been damaged. It should be that Ju Jiao and his group had retreated in a hurry and didn't have time to clean up.

After packing up the things and putting them all into the storage magic treasure, Li Yi heard a familiar cry.

A Shanyi flew from not far away and soon landed in front of him. At the same time, loud noises came from the nearby forest. An exotic beast like a wild cow rushed over, emitting an excited roar, and also arrived beside Li Yi.

"Very good, you are all fine." Li Yi was happy in his heart.

This time, returning with two exotic beasts tamed, his strength could be said to have increased greatly. Coupled with awakening the god's bloodline, his future potential was infinite. Although it was full of dangers, he had also made a fortune.

"Go deep into the jungle and leave here." Li Yi flipped onto Niu Niu's back, then pointed in a direction.

Niu Niu raised its hooves and ran, crashing into trees, reclaiming a path without any scruples.

Shanyi emitted a cry, following in the air.

As they moved forward, the nearby trees were changing. These changes appeared inadvertently, making it difficult for people to notice, but Li Yi knew that this was crossing dimensions and leaving this savage world. It was just that the jungle of this savage world was connected to the dense forest in the depths of Earth's danger zone, causing the environment to merge into one, indistinguishable from each other, so it was very difficult to distinguish the differences.

Once you walk out of the dense forest, you will find yourself already in another world.

When Li Yi and his group came, they crossed dimensions in such a daze and encountered the attack of Shoushan Village warriors.

And after moving forward for a distance, Niu Niu suddenly stopped its footsteps, then sprayed its nose, staring at an ancient tree in front.

A large snake with wings was coiled on the ancient tree, emitting a hissing sound at this moment, appearing nervous and urgent.

"It's that feathered snake from before." Li Yi recognized this thing. When he and Jiang Mingtian and the others came, they were worried about poison, so they let this feathered snake go. But now it seems his judgment at the time was correct. This feathered snake was mostly an exotic species that ran from the savage world, and its strength was extraordinary.

If he had insisted on making a move at that time, he estimated that several people would have died very peacefully.

A feathered snake that could poison and kill souls, even Niu Niu, who was much stronger than it, hesitated because of it. Clearly, if Niu Niu were bitten, it would also be difficult to save its life.

However, just at this moment.

Shanyi flapped its wings and came. Its speed was extremely fast, its figure pulled out a dozen afterimages, and it rushed to the front of the feathered snake in an instant, then pecked down fiercely.

This feathered snake seemed to have encountered a nemesis. It didn't even react before its head was shattered, and it collapsed to the ground, dying instantly.

"Shanyi is truly the nemesis of the feathered snake." Li Yi couldn't help but think to himself upon seeing this.

Afterward, he thought of something, approached cautiously, collected the feathered snake's fangs, and soaked them in a glass bottle.

As the venom in the fangs flowed out, the clear water in the glass bottle immediately turned emerald green.

The feathered snake's poison was so overbearing that Li Yi felt he could quench the Fei Mu Needle with poison in the future to make up for the shortcoming of the Fei Mu Needle's lack of lethality.

"Not bad, another trump card."

He carefully collected the feathered snake poison, then rewarded the feathered snake's corpse to Shanyi.

Li Yi didn't dare to touch the body of such a highly toxic thing.

Shanyi, however, wasn't afraid of this kind of poison. It picked up the feathered snake's corpse and swallowed it into its belly in two or three bites, eating it clean.

After solving this feathered snake, Li Yi rode Niu Niu and continued to gallop in the dense forest.

Don't look at Niu Niu being savage, but if it really encounters danger, it is more vigilant than anyone else and will immediately stop and stand ready.

If Niu Niu didn't stop, it only meant there was no danger around, or that the danger encountered couldn't threaten it and wasn't worth stopping for.

Just as Li Yi left,

North Wasteland City.

Xiu Xiang heard Qi's report and immediately opened his eyes wide, very surprised: "What? Lord Dayi left?"

He instantly felt that the "Yi's Original Life" he was holding wasn't very fragrant anymore.

He had a discerning eye for talent, invited a distinguished guest, a great talent, a rare commodity, how could he leave without saying goodbye after staying for only one day?

"Where did he go? I'll go find him." Xiu Xiang was so anxious he wanted to go out, but was stopped by Nanshan Bo.

Sage Nanshan Bo said: "Does the Merchant Lord not understand? Lord Dayi is unwilling to become a retainer of the Merchant Lord, nor is he willing to accept the Merchant Lord's favor, which is why he left without saying goodbye. Moreover, as Qi said, Lord Dayi went to the market again, which shows he cannot let go of his lost companion in his heart; this departure also carries the intention of searching for his companion. If the Merchant Lord tries to bring him back, I fear it will be counterproductive and not a good outcome."

"Then what should I do?" Xiu Xiang asked anxiously.

Sage Nanshan Bo said: "If the Merchant Lord finds his friend, Lord Dayi will surely return."

"That makes sense." Xiu Xiang thought for a moment and nodded repeatedly.

Once his friend is found, could Lord Dayi not come again?

It was just that he regretted that since Lord Dayi wanted to leave, he should have said a word to him; he should have gifted him Kunwu artifacts, a hundred pieces of red gold, and war servants to accompany him to assist his journey.

"Hateful, I was only focused on reading the Great Wilderness Chronicles, which led me to neglect Lord Dayi." Afterwards, Xiu Xiang held the bamboo slips, looking at the sky outside, beating his chest and stamping his feet, wailing and shedding tears.
