Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 34 Wuxian Mountain

The aroma of tea wafts through the lobby.

"Do you think there's a good chance these wolves will attack the Sands Valley?"

Taking a sip of tea, Jiang Chen looked at the skinny monkey with a bandage on his arm and asked.

Hearing this, the skinny monkey nodded.

"Third Master, this wolf pack is massive. I estimate there are at least over a hundred of them. Furthermore, they are all very strong, and this forest simply can't support them. To fill their stomachs, they'll likely turn to humans. After all, in their eyes, humans are also a good source of meat."

"I'd venture to guess that even if we didn't run into them this time, they would have followed the scent and found their way to the Golden Sands Valley. The human scent here is simply too strong."

With a solemn expression, the skinny monkey told his thoughts one by one. This hunting trip was really dangerous. If he had not been more experienced in hunting and was very sensitive to crises, and had not discovered something wrong in advance, he might not have been able to come back.

This time the hunt was not them hunting the wolves, but the wolves hunting them. They were the prey.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen was thoughtful.

"So these wolves are most likely from outside, and they probably just arrived here. Where do you think they might have come from?"

Putting down the teacup in his hand, Jiang Chen was quite convinced of the skinny monkey's guess.

Hearing Jiang Chen's words, the skinny monkey hesitated for a moment. Qingyuan County is three-tenths flat and seven-tenths mountainous, mostly poor and barren. Most humans live near rivers, and no one knows what is hidden in the deep mountains and dense forests.

"Third Master, I suspect these wolves may have come from Wuxian Mountain. Only that place can easily support so many ferocious wolves."

After pondering for a moment, the skinny monkey gave an uncertain answer.

"Wuxian Mountain?"

Murmuring softly, Jiang Chen looked outside the house.

He didn't know much about Wuxian Mountain. All his knowledge came from books. He only knew that it was the highest mountain in Qingyuan County. It was majestic and dangerous inside. It was truly a place where few people went.

"Take this bottle of Blood Spirit Pill. It will not only help you recover from your injuries, but it will also aid your cultivation. For the next period of time, you must lead others to be on guard in case of an attack by wolves."

Taking out a porcelain bottle from his arms, Jiang Chen handed it to the skinny monkey.

This was something he had prepared long ago, and the so-called Blood Spirit Pill was actually a blood coagulation stone mixed with several medicinal herbs and packaged in a certain way.

The blood gas purification had been completed before, but for safety reasons, Jiang Chen conducted another experiment to confirm that it had no obvious sequelae. It was not until now that it was truly perfected.

Hearing this, the skinny monkey took the Blood Spirit Pill and a look of gratitude immediately appeared on his face.

"Please rest assured, Third Master, I will definitely protect the Golden Sand Valley."

The skinny monkey expressed his attitude in a resounding voice.

After the skinny monkey left, he looked into the depths of the forest, and Jiang Chen felt that a storm was about to come.

"According to the description of Shouhou and other people in the hunting team, the ferocious wolves they encountered were all very ferocious, and could rival lions and tigers. There must be stronger ones in such a wolf pack, such as the wolf king. It is very likely to be a monster, otherwise it would be impossible for it to control such a wolf pack." Jiang Chen thought about various possibilities.

"The wolf pack's attack is indeed dangerous, but it may also be an opportunity. My research on blood energy is basically complete, and it's time to use a large amount of blood energy. The essence of blood energy is related to living beings."

"Whether ordinary humans or wild beasts, their blood energy is actually not very high. On the contrary, the beasts in the mountains and forests not only have abundant blood energy, but it is also more condensed, making it easier to absorb. These ferocious wolves can serve as a source of nourishment. However, before doing so, we need to make a more accurate assessment of the wolf pack's strength. We can't just rush in headfirst."

"If you accidentally run into a powerful monster, you'll be courting death."

With an idea in mind, Jiang Chen immediately called Shu Tianjiao.

In the evening, in a corner that is difficult for outsiders to notice, mice crawled out of the Golden Sand Valley.

“Squeak, squeak…”

Standing on a big rock, looking at the group of rats standing beside him, Shu Tianjiao seemed to be giving orders.

After a moment, its body grew larger and it suddenly let out a sharp scream.

Hearing this long howl, the group of rats seemed to have received an order, and turned into undercurrents that continuously flowed into the dense forest, and finally disappeared completely in the night.

After a while, all the rats were successfully driven into the dense forest. Shu Tianjiao shook his tail and walked towards the dense forest.

Its current abilities are limited, and its control over the rat pack is very superficial. Once it leaves too far, the communication between the two sides will be completely cut off. For this reason, it must go there in person. Moreover, according to the intelligence from Shouhou and others, the wolf pack is ferocious, and ordinary rats may not be able to collect any useful information.

However, after only a few steps, Shu Tianjiao remembered something and stopped quickly.

Buzz, the spell was working, and Rat Tianjiao's body size shrank visibly, and finally stopped when it became about the same size as an ordinary mouse. It even looked a little thin. This was an application of the gigantism technique. Under Jiang Chen's guidance, Rat Tianjiao became more and more flexible in the application of his own spells.

After checking his body and jumping on the spot to confirm that there was no problem, Shu Tianjiao nodded with satisfaction.

Following Jiang Chen, it had heard many stories from Jiang Chen. It knew that trees would be destroyed if they grew too tall, and it also knew that appearing weak could sometimes be a very useful weapon.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak! I have to learn to read and write as soon as possible. The master said that a cultured person is not afraid of anything wherever he goes. I also want to be a cultured mouse."

Shaking his head, Shu Tianjiao's figure disappeared into the darkness.

On the south slope, Jiang Chen was also watching all this silently.

"In terms of combat power, even carefully bred mice would not be a match for those ferocious wolves. However, they are sufficient for gathering information. I hope this attempt will not disappoint me."

"If the rat colony performs well, then we might be able to expand its cultivation in the future, or even find a way to produce more mutant rats."

As his thoughts turned, Jiang Chen's eyes were filled with depth.

The task he gave to Shu Tianjiao was very simple, which was to find out the size of the wolf pack as much as possible and to find a ferocious wolf with more intelligence. As long as he found such a ferocious wolf, he could hunt it down and use it to understand the true strength of the wolf pack.

As Shu Tianjiao led his group of rats into the mountains on a large scale, a different kind of war began. In the darkness, rats and ferocious wolves began to clash. This was a contest between the two tribes.
