The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 100 Iron-eating Lizard
As the four insects broke through their growth stages, the experience of the second-level insect master increased a little.

At the same time, Su Yan could also feel that the special insect bone armor brought about the strengthening of his body bones and the improvement of the armor's defense.

The stronger the worm, the stronger the changes that will be reflected in the body.

"The skeleton of the Iron-Eating Armored Lizard is easy to deal with. It's a perfect first-level desolate beast. Although it's very powerful, it's not impossible to deal with it. But this second-level desolate beast's blood marrow."

Su Yan frowned slightly. Gold and silver marrow and red blood crystal were easy to deal with. Although they were precious special metals, they were still available on the market if one wanted to collect them.

However, the blood marrow of a second-level wild beast must be extracted from a second-level wild beast. Its strength is equivalent to that of a true realm warrior, and there are only a few of them even in the Yunling Mountains.

With Su Yan's current strength, he might not be able to win it.

"Marrow-sucking leech, if I remember correctly, it should be a first-grade mid-grade alien insect beast, and it's not easy to deal with."

Although the marrow-sucking leech is not that strong, its activities are relatively covert. If it were easy to detect, Su Yan would have found a way to contract it long ago.

Of course, this is under the premise that resources are properly supplied. Otherwise, one more alien insect means one more food, which is troublesome.

"First, gather the materials for the Jade Beetle's metamorphosis. Let's see if we can buy the blood marrow of a second-level wild beast."

The White Bone Poison Centipede and the Red Armored Scorpion have gone one step further, but it is hard to say whether they can unite to deal with the second-level wild beast.

Su Yan found Yang Kun and others, and they received rewards from Su Yan.

I was originally hesitant and didn't dare to eat it.

He also thought about hiding the pill and then pretending to have taken it to deceive Su Yan.

But Ding Meng was there, he had eaten the blood-strengthening pill made by Su Yan before, and knew Su Yan's alchemy skills.

This time, when they saw Su Yan distribute the pills again, they did not think that they were drugs that would harm them.

In addition, Yang Kun and the others saw Su Yan refining the elixir with their own eyes, so they swallowed it with hesitation this time.

Taking Wuyun Pill and Zhenyuan Pill together can nourish the five internal organs and increase Zhenyuan.

Only then did they discover that the quality of this medicine was actually top-notch.

After some practice, each of the five people made progress.

This also made them more convinced of Su Yan.

Maybe following Su Yan is not such a bad thing.

"grown ups"

The five people stood respectfully in front of Su Yan, and the aura of Ding Meng and Wang Cang increased most obviously.

Among the five people, the brothers Yang Kun and Yang Lun of Cunning Sheep Sou were already at the peak of Yang Yuan Realm. Although the elixir was effective, it was not enough to produce immediate results.

Cai Peng is slightly weaker, but he also has the strength of a minor success in the Yang Yuan realm.

Only Ding Meng and Wang Cang were a little weaker. They were at the entry level of Yangyuan Realm before, but now after a long period of training, they have also achieved some success.

"Help me find some clues about gold and silver marrow, red blood crystal, marrow-sucking leeches, iron-eating armored lizards, and the blood marrow of second-level wild beasts."

After Su Yan finished speaking, even the usually mature brothers Cunning Sheep Sou and Yang Kun looked embarrassed.

"Sir, the blood marrow of a second-level wild beast is in short supply in Yuncang Town. I'm afraid we may not be able to find any information about it. Moreover, these items are not cheap. I'm afraid it will take us some time to raise them."

He had tried to be as tactful as possible, and his words and actions revealed that he was temporarily short of money.

Su Yan looted their treasure house within a few days and asked them to prepare first-level metals and many spiritual medicines.

Some of these things were robbed, and the rest were bought with savings.

Although they still have some money and food left now, if they really want to buy all the above items, it will probably cost 10,000 or 20,000 taels of silver, which is not something they can come up with all at once.

Not to mention, the blood marrow of a second-level wild beast can not only be used to make medicine, but even if consumed alone, it is also beneficial for breaking through the true realm. It is something that is priceless.

"First, find the news, as for the silver..."

Su Yan was silent for a moment, as if he had been squeezed a little too hard during this period.

"First, find some information, then sell the pills."

You still have to exploit people, but you can't force them to death. Su Yan can still tell the difference between one meal being full and another meal being full.

As for Cai Peng and his men, they were relieved to get Su Yan's approval, and they dispersed their people to various intersections in the barren mountains to do business with no capital.

Su Yan controlled several insects to go down the mountain and released the blood locusts in a valley in a desolate mountain.

Half of the five thousand insect eggs stored in the insect world space hatched immediately. More than two thousand blood bees hatched, rushed into the dense forest, and started hunting directly.

The blood bees are not very powerful, and are especially difficult to suppress against some wild beasts with thick skin and flesh.

However, Su Yan's purpose of releasing them was not this, but to collect a large amount of essence.

Su Yan ordered the blood locusts to take charge of the situation, while Wu Yangyang led the blood bees to wreak havoc.

After sucking up enough blood, part of it is converted into blood locusts to replenish their consumption, and the other part is converted into essence and directly used as material for Su Yan's alchemy.

Su Yan found a place to refine the elixir and refined the essence of the beast blood into blood-strengthening pills one by one.

In just two or three days, a batch of blood-strengthening pills were refined.

News came from the foot of the mountain that Baicaotang bought a batch of inner armor and weapons from Tianfeng Armory, saying that they were for self-defense for the guards.

But everyone can see that this time Baicaotang is determined to gain the right to guard Gulin Mountain.

I heard that the person in charge has been changed to Zhang Tianhong, the head manager of Baicaotang, a great master who has achieved the state of true artistic conception and great perfection of mind.

The Xiaoshan Society withdrew most of its people, as if they would not participate in the fight for Gulin Mountain.

Each family has activities, but it is still relatively stable.

Ding Meng and Cunning Sheep Sou returned, each bringing what Su Yan wanted, and most of the silver in the village was spent.

They are gold and silver marrow, red blood crystal and a marrow-sucking leech.

The thing was placed in front of Su Yan. The gold and silver marrow was placed in a jar, flowing like tribute, emitting a faint golden glow, and was thicker. The palm-sized jar held one kilogram.

This thing looks soft, but if it is mixed into soft armor, its increase in strength can be considered as a top-grade material among all metals.

The red blood crystal is as red as blood. Although it is a mineral, it emits the smell of blood, as if it is made up of countless bloods.

As for this marrow-sucking leech, it was as long as an arm and as thick as a palm. It was completely black with scarlet blood stripes on both sides. It was clearly weak and boneless, and looked soft.

But if it attaches to the spine, it can bite through the spine in one bite, sucking the blood and marrow, causing excruciating pain.

"Yes, where did you find this marrow-sucking leech?"

Su Yan glanced at the cunning sheep-eater Yang Kun and nodded slightly.

The marrow-sucking leech was trapped in a tin can with only a hole in it. The mouth of the can was locked. It was obviously a special container.

"Sha Yufeng, the third in command of the Tianhe Gang, has always been brutal. He keeps this marrow-sucking leech captive, and uses it to punish those who disobey him, sucking their marrow for days without dying, and torturing them. I have a small friendship with him, so I exchanged the Zhen Yuan Dan that the master gave me for 1000 taels of silver."

Add money to the lay Buddhist and the cunning sheep old man.

Although the Cunning Sheep Old Man's strength has been stuck at the Yang Yuan Dacheng level for many years, with a phantom of the true meaning, he has never been able to comprehend it and take the step of turning the phantom into the real to become a warrior in the true realm.

However, after so many years of operation, the connection with various forces is definitely not shallow.

If Su Yan were to look for the marrow-sucking leeches himself, it would probably take him one or two months, and it would depend on his luck.

"I'll give you two more bottles of True Essence Pills to help you perfect your cultivation. If you perform well, it won't be impossible for you to break through to the True Intention Realm."

Su Yan threw two bottles of Zhenyuan Dan to the cunning old man Yang Kun, and made a big promise.

It is obvious that Su Yan has not yet reached the true artistic conception, and the cunning old man also knows this.

But when he heard this, his body moved slightly, his heart became active, and a glimmer of hope arose.

"Thank you, sir." The Cunning Sheep Old Man and his companions retreated. Su Yan let the Jade Beetle and the Blood Locust devour their respective transformed objects, although the work was not yet complete.

But after devouring the transformed creatures, the aura and energy stored in their bodies of the two were significantly enhanced.

Another day passed, and this time it was Wang Cang who brought good news. Bafangxing told them the whereabouts of the iron-eating armored lizard.

"Three months ago, someone went into the mountains and found a first-level perfect iron-eating armored lizard on Qiongfeng Mountain."

Three months?
Su Yan frowned slightly. Three months is not a short time.

It is really not certain whether the iron-eating lizard is still there after such a long time.

Seeing him frown, Wang Cang explained, "The Iron-Eating Armored Lizard is no different from other wild beasts. Its hard armor requires someone at the second or third level of the Yang Yuan realm to take it down. Apart from its armor, it has almost no other uses, so few people specifically hunt it."

Hunting is not a duel between warriors, where you have to fight one on one to determine the winner or the death.

Hunting is for obtaining materials and sufficient benefits. When fighting with wild beasts of the same level, one may get injured or even killed by the wild beasts if one is not careful.

In this case, the risk and return are not proportional.

Therefore, when hunting, few people hunt alone except for warriors with amazing skills and sufficient confidence.

While the number of hunters increases, hunting warriors often choose wild beasts with higher cost-effectiveness as their hunting targets.

It would be best if it was a wild beast that was full of treasures.

Among all the wild beasts, there are two that are undoubtedly the most disgusting.

He has a strong body and a fierce temperament.

He is full of poison and lives in a terrible environment.

Both of these will increase the danger of hunting, and if the value is not high, no one will take the risk.

Unfortunately, the Iron-eating Armored Lizard is the former. It has a body of iron and steel, and ordinary sword and knife attacks are unlikely to pose a fatal threat.

But he is so powerful that I don't know how many warriors he has torn apart.

It's such a tough nut to crack, and there may not be anyone to deal with it.

"Sir, you need a few of us to go together."

Wang Cang, the Iron-eating Armored Lizard King who had reached the perfection of the first level, and others could not guarantee that they could take it down alone, not to mention that they needed to search for traces.

"You guys continue to collect supplies, I'll go on my own."

After finally finding the trail, Su Yan didn't want to wait for Wang Cang and the others to search.

Putting aside the question of whether he could find it or not, if he stayed in the transformation period for too long, it would waste Su Yan's own time.

The blood locust was summoned by Su Yan, its wings vibrating and buzzing. Su Yan jumped on it and soon left Moshi Mountain.

After spending many days in the Mianyunling Mountains, Su Yan has become very familiar with the various areas of the barren mountain area.

Although it was already evening, they quickly identified the direction of Qiongfeng Mountain and flew towards it at a low altitude.

After he left Grindstone Mountain, he immediately entered the forest to continue his journey.

Traveling in the sky is fast, but it is also easy to be spotted.

He was just a small warrior in the Yangyuan realm, and he could not withstand so many people's attention, so he had to sneak into the village without shooting.

After walking through the forest for almost two hours, Su Yan arrived at Qiongfeng Mountain.

The rocks are abrupt and the moon is alone and high in the sky.

The terrain of Qiongfeng Mountain is not beautiful. Although there are forests, they are not lush. The sparse ancient trees are like ghosts, and there are more protruding rocks and potholes.

In the early years, this mountain was named after a kind of jade that could warm the qi and blood and promote the birth of true essence. People competed for it and flocked to it.

Eventually, Qiongfeng Mountain became what it is today.

When Su Yan stepped into Qiongfeng Mountain, he vaguely heard the howling of wolves coming from the mountains.

"I wonder how many holes were dug to mine the jade, but they're now perfect nests for wild beasts."

Su Yan muttered something and released the blood locusts.

As soon as the blood locusts appeared, a large group of buzzing blood bees swarmed around them, like a blood mist.

"go with!"

Su Yan gave the order, and under the control of the blood locusts, a large number of blood bees spread out and began to conduct a carpet search across the entire Qiongfeng Mountain.

The blood bees under the moonlight looked like a dispersing blood mist, searching along the mountainside bit by bit.

This search startled many beasts in the mountains.

Su Yan found a high cliff that reached up to the sky, climbed up, sat there quietly, and carefully observed the place where the movement occurred.

Qiongfeng Mountain is so huge, and the iron-eating armored lizard was discovered by chance three months ago.

It’s hard to say whether he is still here now.

Time passed little by little, and after about an hour, the moon in the sky hung high and became brighter.

The blood bees were exploring in the forest and alarmed many wild beasts, which instinctively attacked the blood bees that approached them.

The losses were quite heavy for a while. After searching only half of the mountain, four or five hundred blood bees were lost.

Although not precious, the blood bee corpses that cannot be recycled are a waste of these resources.

Suddenly, another rapid wolf howl arose in a sunken valley, not far from Su Yan.

"Roar"

Along with the sound of wolves howling, there was also a low roar with a tearing feeling, echoing in the valley.

The blood bee flew back quickly. Su Yan's eyes moved, and he stood up suddenly and ran towards the direction where the sound came from.

The blood bees could not transmit the message accurately, but from the noise, it was clear that a first-level perfect wild beast was fighting over there.

Su Yan was extremely fast, running like a vague ghost under the moon.

After entering the Yang Yuan realm, his physical body, assisted by his true essence, and his strength, defense and coordination abilities were greatly improved.

The valley, more than a thousand meters away, was reached in just a moment.

The howling of wolves continued to ring out, and the threat contained in it was extremely strong.

Led by the Wolf King, there were seventeen or eighteen wild mountain wolves, staring at the huge monster that was swaggering and shaking its body and head in front of them.

The monster was covered in hard armor plates from head to tail, except for a few thorns, and its body was covered with dark green scales all over.

"Iron-eating lizard!"

Su Yan recognized the iron-eating armored lizard at a glance, while the wolf king opposite became more cautious.

The iron-eating armored lizard was not afraid at all. It strode forward, suddenly opened its bloody mouth, and roared at the wolf king. Its cold beast eyes fell on the huge blue rock bull beside the wolf king and his men.

The Qingyan cattle had been killed by the wolves, its stomach ripped open, and the smell of blood slowly spread around.

This is no less than inviting a powerful wild beast to come and enjoy the food.

The wolf king paused, and immediately stood between the iron-eating armored lizard and the food, baring his sharp teeth in an attempt to scare the iron-eating armored lizard away.

The iron-eating armored lizard opposite suddenly had some patterns on its body that lighted up slightly, then it rushed over and pounced into the wolf pack.

In an instant, the wolves immediately started fighting with the iron-eating armored lizards.
