The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 153 Star and Moon Centipede

After the banquet, everyone prepared to open up new land and go hunting.

Bai Yun and Su Yan did not leave in a hurry. Instead, they went to the Nantian City mansion and asked Yang Kun and others to send a message back to Yuncang Town to report their safety.

Yang Kun and the other two were quite capable. Although it had only been a month, they had already organized a caravan to deliver materials from Yuncang Town to Nantian City for sale, and they were also preparing to form a hunting team.

"Master, thank you very much for accepting me as your disciple."

"I?"

Su Yan raised his eyes slightly: "What does Uncle Xiang Ge's decision have to do with me?"

Bai Yun smiled faintly: "Master pushed you to the Guizang Valley lineage. If it weren't for Uncle Long's advice, I'm afraid Master would have been confined to Yangming Mountain for more than just a year."

When Bai Yun talked about the things on Baihu Peak, Su Yan learned that Xiang Ge was beaten by his master, Hu Yangming, the head of Baihu Peak, and then detained on Yangming Mountain.

It was both a punishment and a way to force him to consolidate his foundation so that he could transform his Blood Tiger Heart Sutra into the Blood Tiger Swallowing the Sky Transformation.

Bai Yun is Xiang Ge's disciple. Fortunately, he also practices in Yangming Mountain. He practices the martial arts given by Hu Yangming, "White Tiger Soul Sealing Art". The true meaning of the white tiger, the ice-sealed true spirit, is also a third-level martial arts.

Although not as good as Su Yan, it is much better than many inner disciples.

The two reminisced for a long time, explained some things to Yang Kun, and then returned to the sect together.

In Guizang Mountain, Su Yan used all his strength to practice the Starry Beast Technique.

The six-winged blood centipede behind him swallowed and spit out starlight, and a hundred poison seals appeared one after another, ten in total, covering it and Su Yan like planets.

Starlight emerged, emitting a faint fluorescence all over the body.

Su Yan's eyes opened slightly, as if the stars were contained in them.

Inside the Dantian, countless starlights intertwined, accompanied by strands of true energy that continuously circulated, bit by bit weaving into the shape of a giant centipede with a deep color and a shell dotted with starlight.

"Insect essence as the foundation, six-winged blood centipede as the basis, the true meaning is achieved!"

Su Yan exerted all his strength, and with the four insect elements as a guide, he united his essence, energy and spirit and poured them completely into the giant beast that was gradually forming in his dantian.

"Roar"

It was like a roar from the starry sky, and the true beast spirit was fully formed, a centipede with colorful starlight and a pitch-black shell.

It is about ten feet long, and its body is like a tree that can be hugged by ten people. It is coiled up, surrounded by stars, with an air of pride and majesty.

Su Yan looked up at the stars in the sky, and realized that the dozens of stars in the inner sky formed the shape of a giant ferocious centipede.

"The true meaning of the Star-Moon Centipede is that it should be one of the mysterious beasts of the constellations."

The inner starry sky is the star map of the constellations. The more true meanings that are condensed, the more stars are represented. When connected with each other, they are enough to unleash even more powerful power.

This is the special feature of this technique, and the stars correspond to acupoints. If you want to break through the Danqiao realm in the future, it will be easier with these stars as a foundation.

"It's a good time to stretch your muscles."

Su Yan calculated the time and found that half of the three days had passed.

Because of his cultivation, he had already used up most of his resources. Even though he had used gold and silver to buy some elixirs in Nantian City a few days ago, a lot of them had been consumed by now.

He understood that without any income, his cultivation speed would drop significantly.

When the three days were up, Su Yan arrived at the Nine Stele Spiritual Platform, where Bai Yun, Lin Junhao, Zheng Yan, Fu Xuejing and Wang Xiaohu had already gathered.

As soon as Su Yan arrived, Lin Junhao immediately said, "Let's go to the Zongwu Pavilion to receive the task first. Although the harvest from the land reclamation belongs to us, we also need to wait for arrangements and clear out the wild beasts in an orderly manner."

Although it is an experience, the sect cannot abandon this land reclamation just because of the experience.

"Can"

Several people went to the Zongwu Pavilion together and received the mission token.

There were quite a few disciples who wanted to take on the task. When they were queuing up, there were no less than twenty or thirty people at a glance.

Lin Junhao was the organizer. After he got things done, everyone came to the post station.

A gigantic blue horned eagle stood in front of everyone, its body about sixty to seventy meters long. Compared with the blue horned eagle that came to receive disciples that day, it was even bigger and more powerful.

"A low-grade Yuan stone"

The giant blue horned eagle here is not going back and forth to Nantian City, but is going to the Hundred Peaks Barrier, which is a distance of thousands of miles.

Such a distance is beyond the capacity of ordinary wild beasts, and the sect will not allow disciples to continue to hitchhike, so the consumption must be replenished.

The six people paid the Yuan Stone, climbed onto the giant blue horn eagle, and soon left the territory of the Beast King Sect.

There were about a hundred people on the back of the giant blue horn eagle. Except for the disciples who were riding the giant blue horn eagle, the rest were heading to the Hundred Peaks Barrier.

"The Hundred Peaks Barrier is a line of defense against the invasion of wild beasts. The four major sects and dozens of smaller sects occupy over a hundred peaks, connecting the earth veins to form a high wall to block the invasion of wild beasts."

Lin Junhao talked about the things he had inquired about, but in fact, there was no need for him to tell him, as Su Yan had also learned a lot of information from Gu Songde.

Outside the barrier is a wild land with countless resources and wild beasts.

Fighting and competing are everywhere, and only those with ability can live happily.

And within the barrier are the territories of various factions, including the Medicine Mountain, the Mine, the Wild Beast Mountain... The food, clothing, and cultivation resources of the sect are all provided by these conquered lands.

The more hills you occupy, the more resources you will get, but the greater the responsibility you will bear.

Su Yan raised his eyes slightly: "Looking at the methods outside the barrier, it is only better than the desolate mountain area of Yuncang Town."

"Brother Su is absolutely right."

A few of them chatted idly for a long time, and after that, they all sat down cross-legged and practiced quietly.

After about an hour or two, the mountains that the giant blue horned eagle passed by were covered with clouds. Looking down, there were only thick clouds, with the occasional mountain peak visible.

The mountains are connected, the rivers surround it, and you can faintly hear the roar of beasts.

Although we hadn't reached the Hundred Peaks Barrier yet, many powerful wild beasts roamed this area. Although it was a newly reclaimed land, it wasn't completely devoid of wild beasts, and for ordinary people, it was an extremely dangerous place.

They rushed in the clouds for another hour, and suddenly the sky darkened. Everyone looked up and saw a peak that was about seven or eight thousand meters high suddenly piercing the sky.

The clouds are pierced by it, the light is blocked by it, and this towering mountain rises from the ground like a giant.

The giant blue horned eagle was getting closer and closer, and the surrounding clouds were gradually clearing away. There were more than one mountain peaks on both sides. Although they were of different heights, they were all like walls reaching into the clouds.

What a great barrier of hundreds of peaks!
Everyone was extremely amazed. Su Yan took a closer look and saw that there was actually a huge city located at the intersection of these mountains. It was built of huge stones and looked heavy and majestic. The city walls were embedded in the mountains and were almost black with mottled bloodstains. This was a city that had experienced a long period of war.

The giant blue horned eagle flew towards the giant city, but when it reached the post station outside the city, it no longer dared to fly and landed, taking everyone off.

"We've arrived at our Beast King Sect's Beast Suppression City."

The post station is just outside the Beast-Suppressing City, and the towering city walls stand before everyone.

Only when I saw it from such a close distance did I realize that this Beast Suppression City was probably no less powerful than the South Sky City.

"Those disciples who have signed up to explore the wilderness, please gather at my place. The rest of you will each report to the city. Be careful when entering the Shiwan Mountains to kill wild beasts."

The guard just made a comment and then walked straight towards the twenty or thirty people who had come down from the back of the giant blue horn eagle.

Seeing the number, he nodded slightly and led everyone to the Zongwu Pavilion office in the city to register. A senior brother who looked like a manager said, "This time, you are opening up new land outside the Hundred Peaks Barrier, in the Huangmeng Mountain area a hundred miles away. There is a main peak and several secondary peaks surrounding it in a belt. There is about second-grade high-quality mountain spirit energy, and there are many treasures."

"Brother, which batch are we in?"

"The second batch of new disciples, the first batch of mountain guards have already swept through a part of it."

The senior brother in charge was a skinny man with a yellow face. He raised his eyes slightly and said, "Don't worry. The three places of Huangmeng Mountain, Tianbao Mountain, and Qijin Mountain are being reclaimed. We have failed to lead the team with Master Yuxuan Feng, the True Master of Yuefeng Danqiao. Even if there are evil beasts, we are not afraid."

A disaster beast is a third-level wild beast. A third-level wild beast has awakened its intelligence. Apart from its body shape, its wisdom is no different from that of an ordinary person. It can be said to be the king of beasts in an area. It brings disaster to an area and is called a disaster beast.

Each evil beast, with its powerful body and supernatural powers, can exert strength that is no less than that of the Danqiao realm, and should not be underestimated.

That being said, no one who heard this dared to take it lightly.

After receiving the map, as well as the direction and tasks for the land reclamation, everyone set out together, riding on scaly horses or cunning ox beasts straight to Huangmeng Mountain.

Huangmeng Mountain is shrouded in mist, with towering ancient trees and hundreds of meters high trees everywhere, and the strange rocks and dangerous ravines are even more difficult to guard against.

When everyone arrived, they each went their separate ways, with only their own team members following behind them.

Su Yan and his companions arrived at Huangmeng Mountain, handed the scaly horse and the cunning ox beast to their senior brother stationed in the camp there, and then dived into the old forest.

Before they had walked too far, a rustling sound was heard.

A huge, pitch-black evil bear, about two feet tall, rushed out from among the old trees and bushes. Its demonic energy was surging, and it swung out several claw attacks.

"I come"

Zheng Yan swung the long sword in his hand to block the attack of the vicious bear. The sword light appeared and disappeared in front of him.

A first-level peak evil bear was killed by him directly.

However, everyone was not happy because the wild beasts here were not so afraid of people.

Lin Junhao used his storage ring to collect the corpse of the evil bear. He said, "We'll share the harvest equally when we get it back."

Storage rings are sold in Nantian City. The Lin family is wealthy, and Lin Junhao is now a disciple of the Beast King Sect, so it is not difficult to buy them.

Everyone had no objection and continued to explore Huangmeng Mountain.

The wild beasts sensed the approaching person and launched a frantic attack, with sneak attacks coming one after another.

A first-level wild beast, a black panther, flocks of sharp-beaked evil birds, and burrowing iron-eating rats...

The ferocity of the wild beasts was beyond their imagination, and some of the danger also came from plants.

In just half a day, Lin Junhao and his companions understood the brutality of the Ten Thousand Mountains.

"No wonder this level of land reclamation requires so many people."

Wang Xiaohu inserted his long sword into the body of a giant tiger in front of him. Bai Yun came over with a spear and flew over to strike, piercing the head of the second-level ferocious tiger with the spear.

"The second second-level wild beast."

Fu Xuejing stared at the ferocious tiger. It was made of great forging materials. It was more ferocious and had more powerful demonic energy than those second-level tigers in Yuncang Town.

Lin Junhao stepped forward to deal with the wild beasts, saying as he did so, "There's no telling how many earth veins and spiritual veins there are in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. With the gathering of spiritual energy, the wild beasts will naturally continue to multiply. How could they not be dangerous?"

Bai Yundao saw him put away the second-level wild beast, and then said: "After running in for half a day, if you encounter a second-level wild beast again, try to capture it and send it back to the camp in exchange for contribution points."

"I agree."

Fu Xuejing nodded in agreement, and so did Zheng Yan.

"Let's try it later, I think..."

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves.

Everyone's expression changed: "Be careful, there are wild beasts."

Several people picked up their weapons and quickly spread out, climbing up several old trees in just a few steps.

Hidden in the shadows by the leaves, everyone looked closely and gasped.

A small group of black rock steel pigs came running wildly, their bodies like buffaloes, each one was about ten feet long and about as tall as a person. As they charged, they knocked over many trees that several people had to hug.

rustling

Several ghostly figures were moving through the bushes, and one could only see a dark purple figure as they passed by.

"what?"

Lin Junhao's face became serious. The Black Rock Steel Pig was already a second-level wild beast.

Among this small group, there are three second-level leaders, and the rest are all late-stage first-level or even peak-stage first-level wild beasts, and they are very powerful.

However, it was this tribe that was being chased by three wild beasts.

Su Yan's eyes narrowed, and he saw the three figures clearly.

Purple Leopard Beast
It is a second-level wild beast, but it is extremely fast and moves like a purple shadow. It is good at cooperating in hunting and is extremely powerful.

Su Yan looked at them and said, "Be careful, it's a purple leopard beast."

Everyone's face changed, and Lin Junhao said: "Even if the second-level purple light leopard beast is only in the early stage of the second level, it is no less powerful than a warrior in the Heart Monkey Stage, not to mention cooperation."

Fu Xuejing said sullenly, "How should we deal with this? Although we have many people, we..."

Although there are many people, in such chaos, there are still three second-level Black Rock Steel Pigs causing trouble, and the second-level force may not be balanced.

"Find a way to escape and deal with them when they're alone. Their current prey is the Black Rock Steel Pig..."

Zheng Yan was very calm, but Su Yan smiled.

"Six second-level wild beasts, isn't that just right?"

"Brother Su, you..."

Both the Purple Light Leopard Beast and the Black Rock Steel Pig are good wild beasts. The former is a war beast, and there are many people in Baihu Peak who need it, so the price for selling it privately is also high.

The latter is a type of mount, with excellent endurance and defense, and is also a good wild beast.

Su Yan took a glance and saw that the purple leopard beasts had surrounded them, and even surrounded them as well.

What a beast, he really isn't afraid of people.

His eyes turned cold, and then he said, "I will take care of the three purple leopard beasts, and you capture those black rock steel pigs alive."

As the voice fell, Su Yan took a step forward and headed straight for the purple leopard beast closest to him.

Lin Junhao and the others' expressions changed slightly. Seeing Su Yan's back, they gritted their teeth and said, "Old Fu, block the Black Rock Steel Pig's way. Zheng Yan and Old Wang will attack from the left and right. Miss Bai, you and I will wait for an opportunity to injure them and capture them alive. Be careful of the Purple Light Leopard Beast's attacks and help Su Yan at any time."

Bai Yun's eyes swept over Su Yan's direction, and she moved quickly with a firm gaze as she said, "My junior brother doesn't need any help. Let's catch the Black Rock Steel Pig first."
