Chapter 84: The Man-Eating Monster

"Blood Xue Chiluo is truly capable. We must reward it. I wonder what Blood Xue Chiluo loves to eat?" Su Jian asked.

"It loves eating insects," Su Jin said. "Before, when I participated in the insect extermination, I brought back the corpses of those small insects (actually, quite a few were still alive) for Blood Xue Chiluo to eat. Blood Xue Chiluo has already grown five leaves. Big Brother, do you have a way to get some more insect corpses?"

"I feel the more insects Blood Xue Chiluo eats, the faster it might grow. If it can eat a mother insect, perhaps Blood Xue Chiluo could grow half a foot or a foot taller."

"I'll ask later," Su Jian said thoughtfully. "But forget about the mother insect; who would be willing to trade one? Even dead mother insects are extremely rare."

Su Jin sighed dejectedly.

My Blood Xue Chiluo is still so small; why hasn't a mother insect come to my door to offer itself as a meal?

Soon, Su Jin returned Blood Xue Chiluo underground.

Su Jian also called several friends over, bringing building materials along the way.

They immediately started building the house.

Su Jin discovered that their masons, tilers, carpenters, and everyone else could do any job.

And it wasn't just one or two who could do it; the entire group could work.

Amazing people!

Although there were only a few of them, they were practically a small house-building squad. At their construction speed, she would be able to see the finished cultivation room by tomorrow morning.

Actually, after Su Jin and Su Hua had fallen asleep, to avoid disturbing them, Su Jian set up a soundproofing formation on his end and then accelerated the construction speed. Before the hour of Zi at night, the spirit well, the small spirit pool, and the cultivation room were all completed.

Once everyone had finished the work completely, they inspected the cultivation room thoroughly, inside and out.

They couldn't help but feel envy, jealousy, and hatred!!

"Brother Jian, you young man are living too well. You even have a spirit spring cultivation room equipped?" a young, round-faced cultivator complained.

"What 'mine'? This is my uncle's house," Su Jian said speechlessly.

"Then you can use it for a while, right?" another young man said disdainfully. "Who doesn't know your uncle went out on a sect mission? He won't be back for the next three years. You young man are enjoying the good life; your uncle's house suddenly has a spirit spring, and you can enjoy the spirit spring cultivation room for three years."

"Three years! Just tell me, can three years in a spirit spring cultivation room equal ten years of your hard cultivation?"

Su Jian remained silent; indeed, it could equal that.

Originally, he estimated he would need about thirty-five more years to reach Foundation Establishment.

If he were allowed to use the spirit spring cultivation room for three years.

Unless something unexpected happened, in another twenty to twenty-five years, the magic power within his body would overflow, and he would be ready to form his Foundation.

"To speak of it, it is also my good fortune. My uncle has only one adult nephew, me. So when my uncle went out on a sect mission, he could only leave me behind," Su Jian said in a rather humble-bragging manner.

A group of good friends directly "tsk-ed" at him.

"Alright, the house here is finished, so we should head back," someone said.

"Don't. Stay at my place. It's just right for you to experience whether the cultivation room you built is useful or not," Su Jian immediately objected.

"No way, our homes are all in the clan territory; you don't need to worry about us encountering danger," someone immediately refuted.

"Under the current situation, only the patrol teams are safe once night falls. You all better stay put and pass the second half of the night here. Anyway, I have nothing else, but I have plenty of meditation cushions for cultivation," Su Jian said seriously. "We are all old brothers of many years; I don't want any of you to die just because I built a house."

Everyone immediately fell silent.

Indeed, going out at night meant passing through many dark alleys and other places easily ambushed along the way.

In the end, everyone chose to stay and enjoy the spirit spring's spiritual energy.

Early the next morning, Su Jian prepared breakfast for everyone.

After breakfast, those who needed to go to school went to school, and those like Su Jian who needed to go to work at the clan went to work.

The brothers each returned to their own homes and found their own mothers!

However, as soon as Su Jian arrived at the clan's public housing, he heard an earth-shattering piece of news.

A man-eating monster has appeared in the Eastern City.

Last night, a monster broke directly into the protective formation of a household in the Eastern City and ate an entire family of nine until only skeletons remained. No extra traces were left at the scene, only a series of white footprints.

Some of the footprints even carried bloodstains.

This is freaking terrifying. He decided that when he returned home tonight, he would raise the level of his family's protective formation. Change it from a low-level protection to a high-level protection. It just means consuming a bit more spirit stones.

With so many children at home, there must be absolutely no slackening or hesitation.

The Su family's patrol team was recruiting again.

There was no choice but to recruit; all sorts of strange things were appearing in Xiancheng now.

Outside the city, there were large and small monsters; inside the city, there was not only an insect plague but also man-eating monsters breaking directly into doors.

Su Jian heard that the insect plague incident still had a loose end; the mastermind behind the insect plague had not been found. Moreover, insects usually have a mother nest and a mother insect. When Xiancheng exterminated the insects, even after eliminating the last batch of black locusts, they still had not found the mother insect or the mother nest.

The Su family has lived here for generations and never thought of the entire clan being wiped out.

So they directly mobilized all the young and strong of the entire clan, telling them to come out and patrol the streets.

Furthermore, they opened the treasure vault and distributed a Large Amount of Qi magical artifacts and equipment to the patrol team, essentially arming every patrol member to the teeth.

The Su family also deployed many large-scale facilities specifically used for exterminating evil spirits that were rarely used, setting them up within the clan territory. The Su clan territory was almost being arranged by the elders into a military fortress.

It was a forest of weapons.

Actually, it wasn't just the Su family doing this; some other noble families in Xiancheng were doing the same.

After all, no one wanted to die.

Just look at the series of incidents that have recently occurred in Xiancheng.

It is obvious that some power, or a gang of evil spirits, has set its sights on their Xiancheng.

Before the opponent reveals their true intentions, no one wants to serve as cannon fodder that can be eaten at will.

If they want to swallow these old noble families in one bite, they must be prepared to break a tooth.

Everyone is an old noble family that has fought alongside the sects for many years; having survived countless conspiracies and brutal struggles, how could they be so easy to deal with?

If we can't fight, then let's just fight with all our might.

The key is that no one has discovered where the enemy is; otherwise, they would have already taken up their swords and marched to their doors.

The entire Xiancheng became filled with alarm, and the atmosphere within the clan began to grow tense.

For in a few more days, the Beast Blood Meridian-Cleansing Pool was about to open.

And the Beast Blood Meridian-Cleansing Pool was built outside the city.

At this time, going to the Beast Blood Meridian-Cleansing Pool outside the city, to say it was not dangerous would absolutely be a lie. When the final personnel list was confirmed, sure enough, Su Wuji was on it.

But Yang Guan was not selected.
