The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 77 Wolf Disaster
Wolf Peak is some distance away from the Golden Ape Martial Arts School. Li Chuan did not let Su Yan go there directly, but gave him one day to prepare.

Although this rotation was one of the duties of the inner disciples, it was obvious that he was going to use his mountain-moving abilities to find the Wolf King.

In this case, fighting is inevitable.

Su Yan first went to the Tiger Temple City in an open identity.

He exchanged 1,700 to 1,800 taels of silver with the martial arts school, which meant that Su Yan had no problem spending around 2,000 taels on paper.

Everyone spends money in cash, and even without detailed flow, the source is clear.

Tiger Temple City, Baicaotang.

As soon as Su Yan entered the room, a waiter came forward to greet him.

The only one who can gain a foothold in this city is this guy. He also has some martial arts skills and is an entry-level warrior in leather refining.

"What kind of medicine would you like to buy?"

Bone Forging

The clerk's eyes lit up slightly. "The most common elixirs for strengthening tendons and bones are Bone Strengthening Pills and Tiger Bone Pills. Both are medium-level first-grade pills, five taels of silver each."

Bone-strengthening pills are mostly used by warriors at the tendon and bone realm. They are more effective and more precious.

When Su Yan came to ask about the price, he naturally had some intention of probing into the price.

"What's better?"

The clerk was startled, then his eyes immediately lit up, and he became even more eager: "The stronger one is the first-grade, top-grade Beast Embryo Bone Tempering Pill. It's made with the essence of wild beast fetuses and has the strongest effect. It costs ten taels of silver each."

Ten taels of silver for one, even an ordinary warrior in the Muscle and Bone Realm cannot afford such consumption.

Cultivation is not something that can be accomplished by taking one pill, but requires long-term tempering.

"Give me five bottles."

There were ten pills in a bottle, and five bottles cost him five hundred taels of silver.

Coming out of Baicaotang, Su Yan couldn't help but sigh that the stronger the strength, the greater the expenses in all aspects.

If he could not refine pills himself and replenish qi and blood with pills like Zhuangxue Dan, he would have had to purchase a lot of them just now.

Strengthens blood, hardens bones, and strengthens tendons.
If you want to make rapid progress, you have to fill the deficiencies in your body, otherwise it will be a slow and arduous process of accumulation.

Tianfeng Weapon Shop

As soon as Su Yan entered the room, he looked for the clerk at the counter.

"An entry-level sword and a pair of boxing gloves."

The waiter showed a look of surprise, then quickly realized: "Are you a friend from the Golden Ape Martial Arts School? We have entry-level boxing gloves. Please wait a moment."

In Yuncang Town, the place that uses the most boxing techniques is the Golden Ape Martial Arts School, especially these boxing gloves.

The waiter was quick and brought Su Yan what he wanted in no time.

"Please look, sir. There are quite a few entry-level blades. Commonly used styles include the Jade Wave Blade, Crescent Moon Blade, and Black Shadow Blade. Fist-style blades are rare. The only top-grade first-level blade is the Black Scale Fist Gloves."

The blade of the Bi Bo Sword is slightly curved and the edge is shining, making it a sharp sword.

The crescent knife is shaped like a crescent moon, and the blood groove is like a line, running through the front and back of the blade. It is a knife that can be used for quick movement and can be quickly drawn out and retracted.

The black shadow knife is pitch black, with a thick back and a sharp blade, and looks like a regular blade.

The remaining black scale boxing gloves, a small section of alloy arm armor, and the black scale armor of wild beasts form a pair of boxing gloves that can resist swords and knives.

The forging technology of Tianfeng Weapon Shop is very good, and all the weapons it can produce are top-quality ones.

Su Yan took a look and asked, "How much are the Black Shadow Knife and Black Scale Boxing Gloves?"

"The Black Shadow Blade costs two hundred taels of silver. The Black Scale Fist Gloves are even more difficult to craft, so they'll cost three hundred taels of silver."

Su Yan did not bargain. In Yuncang Town, if you want good weapons, you can only go to Tianfeng Weapon Shop.

After shopping, Su Yan headed straight for Wolf Peak.

Compared to Golden Ape Mountain, Wolf Peak is located closer to the inner side of the barren mountain and is one of the newly opened territories of the Golden Ape Martial Arts School.

Wolf Peak is rich in wolftail grass, which is a medicinal herb for tempering the body and can be used to refine pills for strengthening the body and tempering the bones.

Although it is not as good as Baozhi, it is better in quantity and can bring a lot of money.

In addition to the wolftail grass, the Golden Ape Martial Arts School also ordered people to open up terraced fields and plant red tooth rice, as well as hundreds of acres of soul-enriching fruits, which are extremely valuable.

But this Wolf Peak has a lot of gray thorn wolves, so it needs regular patrols to clear out the invading wild beasts. This is also the reason why Bai Yun is stationed here.

But unexpectedly, some cunning wolf kings seem to have emerged in recent days.

The gray wolf pack attacks and retreats in groups, advancing and retreating in moderation, making it difficult to completely eliminate them, so it is impossible to harvest the red rice that is about to mature. It is really difficult.

Let Su Yan come over to provide some support. If that doesn't work, I'm afraid we'll have to send more disciples to search the mountain.

Although Wolf Peak is not as steep as Tiger God Mountain, it is an area with extremely lush forests and many valleys and cracks. It is easy to get lost if you go in there.

Su Yan had the ability to climb mountains, so he naturally wouldn't get lost, but as he walked along the mountain road, he still slowed down a bit without realizing it.

Once you enter the territory of Wolf Peak, you can vaguely see the cultivated terraced fields and red-tooth rice seedlings that are half a person's height.

"According to the map, we should be almost at Wolf Village."

Wolf Village is a mountain village located between Wolf Peak and Luoyue Mountain. It is a residence for the mountain people under its jurisdiction and it is also where Su Yan is going this time.

He determined the direction and walked another two miles on the mountain road. Suddenly, the howling of wolves came one after another.

"The direction of Wolf Village?"

He frowned, quickened his pace, and rushed to a terraced slope.

Looking closely, he immediately saw the people from the martial arts school fighting with a group of gray thorn wolves.

There were about forty or fifty gray thorn wolves, who surrounded the people and charged from both sides.

There were only a dozen or so people in the martial arts school, holding weapons and standing back to back to form a defense.

Although there were not many people, they cooperated with each other and had weapons in their hands. For a while, the gray wolf's attack was unable to break through the defense.

Among them was a woman, wearing a white tight-fitting outfit, a pair of white boxing gloves, and an inch-long sharp blade protruding from her arm armor. With each move, the shadow of a white ape appeared at the side, sweeping past the gray thorn wolves.

Her movements were light yet fierce, and she could often kill a gray wolf with just one punch.

But at this moment, three gray thorn wolves as big as yellow cattle pounced on her and slowed her down.

Seeing this, Su Yan thought to himself: "What a coincidence that she came. She must be Senior Sister Bai Yun at the Yang Yuan realm."

He took out the fine steel longbow behind him, drew the bow and shot arrows. There was a whooshing sound, and in a blink of an eye, three or four sharp arrows were shot out.

The arrow is shot and arrives in an instant.

The gray thorn wolf never expected that someone would suddenly shoot an arrow, and was pierced by the sharp arrow in an instant.

Blood splattered and the gray wolf fell to the ground. Everyone was shocked by this sudden support.

All they heard was Su Yan saying loudly: "Brothers, I am here to help you, so just focus on fighting the enemy."

He walked very fast, drawing his bow and shooting arrows as he rushed down the hillside.

His hands moved steadily, and the arrows shot continuously.

In just a few breaths, several more gray thorn wolves were shot.

The disciples of the Golden Ape Martial Arts School also reacted and pounced on him instantly, slashing with their swords and killing the old wolf.

The situation changed, and the three first-stage late gray thorn wolves howled and were about to leave.

Bai Yun's eyes turned cold and her temper flared up.

"You're just a beast, and you think you can just leave like that?"

The shadow of the white ape behind her merged with her body, and its momentum was concentrated in a pair of beautiful fists.

She was as swift as a butterfly flying through flowers. She came to one of the gray thorn wolves and punched it, breaking its spine directly.

The gray thorn wolf next to her opened its bloody mouth and bit at her. She waved her hand, and the sharp blade protruding from the arm armor cut a knife through the bloody mouth, slicing off half of its head.

The last one turned around and ran, and the other gray thorn wolves also retreated immediately, so they were not killed on the spot by Bai Yun.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Bai Yun looked at the person coming from the hillside, and a look of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes.

The helper who just shot the arrows was actually just a young boy, who looked to be no more than sixteen or seventeen years old.

"But Junior Brother Su Yan?"

Lichuan sent a message that his father's new disciple would come to help.

The message said that this junior brother was extremely talented and had good skills. Now it seems that he does have some skills.

"Elder Lichuan ordered me to come."

Su Yan walked forward, greeted Bai Yun, and glanced across the battlefield.

“I didn’t expect to meet you by chance.”

The two exchanged a few pleasantries. Bai Yun, not one for talking much, simply said, "The wolves have been getting more rampant these past few days. If you were on duty, you'd probably run into something like this."

The battlefield was cleaned up and all the bodies of the gray thorn wolves were moved back.

Su Yan returned to the Wolf Village with Bai Yun and the others.

There are about seven or eight hundred mountain people living in Wolf Village, and there is no distinction between upper and lower villages. The wooden houses are stacked and arranged neatly, which is a bit simpler than Golden Ape Village.

The guards and inner disciples of the Golden Ape Martial Arts School all live on the inner side.

Bai Yun brought Su Yan to his residence and asked the servants to help him settle down.

"There are 80 guards in Wolf Village, 20 inner disciples, I am the only one in the Yang Yuan realm, and there are two in the Ban Xue realm. You are my father's new disciple. If you have any questions, just tell me directly. No need to be polite."

Bai Yun spoke more directly than Lu Ling. She had her long hair tied up high and was dressed neatly, looking very heroic.

"Senior Sister, what's the situation with the Wolf Disaster at Wolf Peak? With so many disciples guarding them, they still dare to come?"

Bai Yun glanced at Su Yan. This junior brother was quite direct and didn't say any nonsense.

"Gray wolves have attacked in the past, but not as frequently as they have recently. Mountain dwellers who go out alone, or patrols, are likely to be attacked."

Her beautiful eyes flickered slightly as she spoke, "I've explored the depths of Wolf Peak several times, and those wolf packs were mobilized by a single wolf howl. I think at least a wolf king at the Yang Yuan realm is in command. I think he's marking out a new territory. If we don't eliminate it, it will become increasingly difficult to handle, so I called for reinforcements."

She looked at Su Yan: "I thought it would be the eldest brother who came in person."

With two Yang Yuan realms, she can kill her way into the mountains. No matter how the wolves try to escape or try to stop her, she will be unable to resist. She can find the wolf king after searching for several days.

Su Yan was not embarrassed by her looking at him like this, he just smiled and said: "Of course my strength is not as good as that of the eldest brother, but if I can find clues and find the location of the wolf king, I might be more powerful than the eldest brother."

"I'll take you into the mountains tomorrow and kill a few waves of wolves first."

Bai Yun neither questioned nor denied it. She liked to see real things.

Early the next morning, Bai Yun came to find Su Yan. She was wearing a white tights, but had changed into a set of clothes with fine armor.

His long hair was tied back, a black shadow knife was tied around his waist, and there was a longbow behind him. He wore a jade belt around his waist and arm armor on his hands, looking very heroic.

Su Yan knew that he would go into the mountains today, so he dressed similarly, wearing a tight suit, and prepared a bow, arrow, and sword.

"Come with me."

Bai Yun had no plans to bring anyone else with her. This time she just wanted to see Su Yan's fighting ability and let him get familiar with the situation here.

The two of them walked out of the mountain village quickly. Bai Yun's pace was extremely fast and her body was as light and agile as a white ape. She slowed down her movements slightly and suddenly her expression changed.

'He's so fast?'

I thought Su Yan would not be able to keep up, after all, he was only a warrior at the Muscle and Bone Realm.

But this leaping and agile figure seemed to be three times smoother than hers.

She naturally didn't know that Su Yan's monkey fist had already reached perfection, and the monkey leap step was even more of a piece of cake. Coupled with the flexibility of steps brought by archery, his body naturally had such ability.

"Junior Brother Su, I need to speed up."

She gave a reminder, and the two of them quickened their pace. Soon they had passed through the mountains and forests and arrived at a small valley.

Bai Yun stopped and said, "This is a wolf gathering place that we discovered the day before yesterday. I wanted to investigate the situation myself yesterday, but I happened to meet you."

Su Yan hid in the woods and looked into the valley. There were lush bushes everywhere, and no sign of the gray thorn wolf.

“Are there many gathering places like this?”

"Quite a bit."

Bai Yun said, "The wolves have been roaming around Wolf Peak and gathering to attack, but the only thing they don't do is return to the Wolf King. If not, they would have found the Wolf King long ago."

The roaming wolves act as both vanguards of attacks and sentinels.

Often when Bai Yun and her companions wanted to explore further, if they alarmed the wolves, the wolf king would also know the news, making it even more difficult to find them.

"See if there is any way to find the Wolf King's trace."

As the two were talking, a rustling sound was heard and a pack of wolves from the bushes came quickly, having apparently discovered a different smell.

"He has a keen sense of smell. Let's kill him first."

A sharp light flashed in Su Yan's eyes, and he moved his body and pounced on the rushing wolves. This time he did not use a bow and arrow.

Bai Yun stared at his figure, ready to help at any time.

However, she wanted to see his fighting skills first.

Three or five gray thorn wolves pounced towards Su Yan with great momentum.

Su Yan's eyes darkened, and he gathered his aura and attacked with the three moves of the ferocious ape.

He had the aura of a ferocious ape, and if he wanted to achieve greatness, he would practice and fight constantly.

This was also the reason why Lichuan sent him here.

He raised his hammer and smashed the head of a first-stage early gray thorn wolf.

The gray thorn wolf next to him bit him, and he bumped into it with his body and lifted it with his hand, knocking it away, breaking the wolf's ribs.

The fighting style was ferocious. When the wolves came charging, they were killed one by one, and their momentum was growing stronger and stronger.

There were only a dozen or so wolves in the valley, and he killed half of them in a short time.

Bai Yuntan opened his mouth slightly, showing a look of surprise. He already had some abilities of the bone and muscle realm at the early stage of the first stage.

But this junior brother killed seven or eight people in a row, and his momentum didn't weaken at all.

Even if a wild beast like the Gray Thorn Wolf is weak, it shouldn't be like this. What a skilled martial art.

Soon, the leader of the gray thorn wolves in the valley jumped out from the bushes, as big as an old cow.

Bai Yun's eyes moved, and he took out the longbow behind him. With a whoosh, he shot it through.

As soon as the leader died, the remaining gray thorn wolves immediately scattered.

Only seven or eight gray wolf corpses and a pool of blood remained in the valley.

"Senior Sister Bai, please keep watch here for a while. I'll go in and investigate for any traces."

"it is good."

Bai Yun had no doubts about it. Su Yan quickly walked into the valley and took a quick look. It was just as Bai Yun had said.

Although there are signs of eating in this valley, there are no smells or traces of long-term territory markings. The smells are mixed, and there are only several roads that show traces of coming and going.

"If I were to track it down myself, it would take several days. First, I would release the White Bone Centipede to investigate."

He quietly released the white bone poison centipede into the forest. The red armored scorpion was too big to be released, so he kept it for self-defense.

After roughly determining the direction, he immediately ordered the White Bone Poison Centipede to explore deep into Wolf Peak.

Since it keeps moving, there must be a core location. Following the smell, there must be clues.
