Chapter 71

On the afternoon of July 10th, Xu Jin continued to search outward along Golden Eagle Peak, and unknowingly, he had already gone out of the safety margin of the map given by the academy.

But it was just out.

However, the harvest was also great.

It can be said that it is everywhere, if it weren't for one or two fierce beasts rushing out from time to time, it would be like picking up silver.

And the fierce beasts that rushed out were also sending silver to Xu Jin.

After beheading, many parts of the body can be exchanged for silver.

Xu Jin roughly estimated that from yesterday to now, the harvest has exceeded one thousand five hundred taels, and has almost completed one-third of the established goal.

The only trouble is that the one-meter-high large backpack behind him is already half full, and counting other things, the weight has exceeded fifty catties, which slightly affects the mobility.

Xu Jin estimated that he would have to find the fixed supply point where the instructors are tomorrow.

Suddenly, a blood-red color flashed in the distant sky.

Xu Jin looked back and saw red warning signals rising into the sky a few mountain heads away.

This is a disciple encountering danger and asking for help.

There should be instructors rushing over. It is very far away, and Xu Jin is also powerless.

Almost at the same time, Xu Jin saw green light rushing up from the mountains, rushing towards the place where the warning signal rose.

It should be the instructor or teacher going to rescue.

It looks not far, but crossing mountains and ridges, unless it reaches the degree of flying directly like the Academy Head, otherwise, rushing over, it will take at least two or three hundred breaths.

Hope it is safe.

About two hundred breaths later, Chief Ning Jiaotou Ning Yuchan appeared at the location where the warning signal rose, her face a bit ugly.

It is a dense forest.

Very quickly, Ning Yuchan found a corpse in the dense forest.

Observing it, Ning Yuchan's pretty face became incomparably cold, and she bit out three words from her teeth, "Blood God Sect!"

The one who died was a Meal of Mist, Sixth Layer disciple. Ning Yuchan judged it to be the Blood God Sect for a very simple reason.

The Blood God Sect plots for the blood of cultivators and the Star Cores in their bodies.

Anyone killed by the Blood God Sect is like a dried corpse, and almost no blood can be found in the body.

And if it is done by fierce beasts or Star Beasts, blood will be spilled all over the ground.

Subsequently, Ning Yuchan took out the Star-Plucking Token and directly sent a starlight transmission to Vice Academy Head Feng Shu, "Discovered traces of the Blood God Sect, a Meal of Mist, Sixth Layer disciple was killed. According to the traces at the scene, at least two Blood God Sect members appeared.

Whether to recall disciples in advance and significantly shrink the mountain-searching range, please indicate, Vice Academy Head."

The Star-Plucking Token she possesses is of a high rank, and she can still transmit messages here.

A few breaths later, Ning Yuchan received a reply from Vice Academy Head Feng Shu, "Every time searching the mountains, Blood God Sect members will definitely appear, how can we give up eating because of choking? I have notified the instructors and teachers to release warning signals, notify all disciples to be vigilant, and at the same time, all instructors and teachers will increase the search intensity. If Blood God Sect members are discovered, kill them all."

This reply was not beyond Ning Yuchan's expectation.

Because the Blood God Sect is indeed like this. Every time searching the mountains, not only their Jinshan Academy, but also when the Tianyang Branch and Cangming Branch explore the sea and search the mountains, the Blood God Sect often takes action.

Sometimes, casualties are unavoidable.

But most of the time, one academy disciple dies, and at least two Blood God Sect members have to be killed.

How can regular troops be compared to these people who take shortcuts by sucking the blood of cultivators?

A few breaths later, dark blue warning signal brilliance began to rise all over the mountains and plains, lasting for a full hundred breaths.

As long as they are not disciples hiding in mountain caves, they can see it.

Xu Jin, who was searching on a mountain ridge, saw this sky full of dark blue warning signals, and his face also changed.

According to the records in the manual, this is to warn all disciples participating in the mission, representing extreme danger, casualties have already occurred, and they must be vigilant. All disciples can decide whether to approach the fixed supply point according to their own situation.

Because the fixed supply point must have instructors on duty. If they encounter danger, the rescue speed will be faster.

Xu Jin looked, secretly increased vigilance, and continued to explore.

Suddenly, Xu Jin's eyes froze. In the depression on the back of the mountain ridge ahead, a piece of silver-white mushroom-like fungus grew, silver like starlight distributed.

Star-Fragment Mushroom!

Ranked eleventh among the rare medicinal materials occasionally seen in the Great Green Mountain, an ordinary one is twenty taels of silver, a one-star Star-Fragment Mushroom is one hundred taels of silver, and a two-star one is three hundred taels. It is very precious and very rare.

That depression has twenty or thirty of them.

The position is extremely difficult to find, and there should be quite a few one-star ones.

The Star-Fragment Mushroom in the middle is as big as a fist, and the silver light spots are incomparably dense. Xu Jin suspects it is a two-star Star-Fragment Mushroom.

If so, then this one, maybe there is a harvest of nearly a thousand taels, if it can be nourished, then...

Xu Jin was happy, but didn't approach immediately.

The manual issued by the academy also noted that in the mountains, the more precious the medicinal herbs and rare treasures, the easier it is for powerful fierce beasts or even Star Beasts to appear nearby.

Courage must be great, but the heart must be fine.

Propping up the Star Light Cover, carrying the star weapon long sword, and the Star Art Star Arrow in his left hand ready to be fired at any time, Xu Jin approached the depression cautiously, while observing in all directions as much as possible.

Looking for possible dangers.

But scanning around again and again, Xu Jin found no danger around.

Approaching, picking one Star-Fragment Mushroom after another, very quickly, Xu Jin picked the largest Star-Fragment Mushroom and put it into a specially made small bag. The starlight aura contained inside was incomparably thick, and it was highly likely to be a two-star medicinal herb.

Just at this moment, in the grass ten meters away from Xu Jin, a green lightning suddenly popped up and pounced on Xu Jin.

It was almost instinct, or rather, the fighting instinct killed in the practice arena secret realm these days.

A Star Shield emerged extremely abruptly from his throat, and the moment he strengthened the protection of his entire head, the long sword swung violently, and starlight exploded.

Bang bang!

Xu Jin's Star Shield and Star Light Cover were both shattered, and the whole person was hit by great force and crashed into the mountain wall and fell.

If it were the previous Xu Jin, he might have been confused, but Xu Jin, who had experienced nearly dozens of life-and-death battles in the practice arena secret realm, understood that the more this happened, the more he couldn't panic.

The more calm he had to be. The moment his body lost control, Xu Jin instantly triggered the Star Art, Star Ring.

The Star Ring vibrated, and a green snake head was blocked.

The fierce object that attacked Xu Jin chased after him.

Xu Jin was shocked, and didn't care that his body was still rolling, just continuously vibrating the Star Ring.

Feeling the Star Ring continuously hitting the fierce object and blocking this green giant snake, Xu Jin's body stabilized slightly, and he exploded the Flying Fei Xing Bu again, directly jumping onto a big tree and standing still.

When the Star Light Cover covered his body, he saw this green giant snake that attacked him clearly.

It was a deep green giant snake, more than ten meters long, covered with scales, and all the scales were flickering with starlight. When it stared at Xu Jin, a star phantom was looming on its head.

Star Beast!

It is a Star Beast that has condensed a Star Core.

At least equivalent to a star forger among human cultivators.

Without hesitation, Xu Jin buckled a Rotary Blade Emblem in his hand, ready to fire at any time.

Judging from the performance just now, this Star Beast giant snake is extremely fast, so he must find the right time, otherwise, this Rotary Blade Emblem will be wasted.

One man and one beast confronted for only three seconds, and the Star Beast giant snake pounced straight again like lightning, opened its giant mouth, and swallowed directly at Xu Jin.

Said too late, then too fast.

Xu Jin watched the green snake giant mouth attack, and his hands fired Star Arrows continuously in a chain.

In just one breath, Xu Jin fired at least eight Star Arrows.

Eight Star Arrows, all exploded into the green snake giant mouth accurately.

Each one exploded a large group of blood light.

The moment the seventh Star Arrow exploded, this snake head, which was bigger than a bull's head, fell powerlessly in front of Xu Jin.

Xu Jin panted heavily, his back already soaked with cold sweat.

Having a trump card to save his life is one thing, but encountering these fierce objects is another.

It's like theoretically, ten strong men can beat a tiger to death, but when they actually encounter it, they are all food.

After catching his breath, Xu Jin first swallowed a Star-Supplementing Pill to restore the large amount of consumed Star Power, and then carefully observed the surroundings.

This Star Beast green snake was darting out from that deep grass, and it wasn't discovered just now.

This time Xu Jin learned to be smart, and threw some stones over.

Beat the grass to scare the snake.

Nothing was found.

Only then did Xu Jin deal with this huge Star Beast green snake corpse.

Theoretically, Star Beasts are full of treasures.

Even the beast meat is a great supplement, especially for those below the Meal of Mist, Sixth Layer.

But this Star Beast green snake is estimated to weigh more than six or seven hundred catties, and cannot be brought.

But this Star Beast snake skin is very valuable, it is a good material for making inner armor, worth more than a thousand taels of silver.

When dealing with it, even Xu Jin's star weapon long sword had to be filled with Star Power to cut and peel it off extremely hard.

If refined, the defense is still very strong.

It took a full hour for Xu Jin to peel off the snake skin completely, followed by a pair of poisonous fangs, a pair of snake beads, snake gall, and finally, Xu Jin dug out a deep green Star Core the size of a fingernail from the place where the green snake's Star Core rose just now.

If a human cultivator forges stars, a similar Star Core will also condense in the body.

This Star Core is also very valuable.

Different types have different values, but even the worst Star Core is worth more than a thousand taels.

Xu Jin didn't expect that he thought the biggest harvest was the Star-Fragment Mushroom, but he didn't expect it to be this Star Beast green snake.

Conservatively estimated at more than 2500 taels.

Up to this point, the minimum goal of this mountain search has been completed by eighty percent.

Picking the green snake Star Core out of the flesh, the moment the green snake Star Core was obtained, Xu Jin's Arena moved again.

Xu Jin was stunned.

Could it be that this thing can also be nourished by the Arena?

Or?

With a thought, his mind sank into the Arena, and he saw that there was an extra line of information on the Arena Jade compared to usual.
