Survival skills maxed out, I feed my wife and daughter by catching fish and shrimp

"Who could have imagined that beneath that beautiful face lies such a fat and ugly insect? I heard that some people covet the human-faced fruit of the Beauty Gu and even use it to masturbate, little did they know that the Beauty Gu covets the flesh and blood of humans."

Chen Changfan thought of some bizarre rumors and suddenly felt a little disgusted.

He raised his hand slightly, indicating that the Seven Deadly Centipedes could start showing off.

Squeak!

The Seven Deadly Centipedes let out a low hum, pounced directly on the beauty insect and bit it to death, then sucked it into a piece of insect skin in a few bites.

"Young man, no, no, young man..." The human head fruit seemed to sense the crisis and made a shy sound again, attracting Chen Changfan's attention.

He waved his hand, and the Seven Deadly Centipedes picked up the fruit with the human head that was chopped off by Chen Changfan, and sucked it hard, leaving only a thin layer of skin on the fruit.

"If this thing were born in the future, the fruit might be hyped up to a sky-high price."

Putting aside his somewhat evil thoughts, Chen Changfan and Qi Jue Centipede continued to walk towards the top of the mountain.

After passing Luoyan Mountain, there is an endless abyss, which is the famous Xuanyuan.

Xuanyuan County is named Xuanyuan mainly because it is a bit weird.

People say that this abyss is bottomless and leads to the underworld, and evil spirits come out from time to time to eat people.

There are also legends that this Xuanyuan is the remnant of the ancient war between gods and demons. That war directly tore the earth apart, and the power of the ancient gods and demons still remains to this day.

There are many different opinions and theories, which makes Xuanyuan quite mysterious. For a moment, it is not known whether it is fabricated by storytellers or there is really something weird about it.

"Xiao Qi, do you want to come with me to see what Xuan Yuan looks like?"

Chen Changfan looked at the Seven Deadly Centipedes flapping their wings and flying beside him. The latter was obviously still unsatisfied and responded to Chen Changfan excitedly.

The Seven Deadly Centipede is ferocious by nature. Although it has restrained itself a lot after becoming Chen Changfan's natal Gu, it sensed that Xuanyuan County was filled with the scent of poisonous insects, which aroused its ferocity again.

The nature of poisonous insects is to kill and devour, especially the Seven Deadly Centipedes, which have extraordinary talents. They can continue to evolve by devouring endlessly. Chen Changfan is also looking forward to seeing how far the Seven Deadly Centipedes have evolved.

"Then let's go take a look."

He didn't see a single person on his way up the mountain, which made him feel a little unhappy.

It would be too depressing to just go home like this.

Now that we are here, we might as well explore the mystery of this abyss.

"Qinghe County has the Black Tortoise Armor, Shuibo County has the Blue Dragon Eye, and Heishan County has the White Tiger Claw. It would be a bit shabby to say that Xuanyuan County doesn't have anything. But Xuanyuan, no matter how you look at it, should have something."

The Xuan Ji Immortal Technique that he was practicing now was inseparable from the spiritual liquid of the divine beasts. Among the four divine beasts, there was still one missing, the Vermillion Bird. As for the fifth spiritual liquid, he also had a rough guess.

The Deer God once mentioned Gou Chen, which was the Qilin often mentioned in the previous life.

If one could gather the spiritual fluids of the four sacred beasts and the Qilin, the Xuan Ji Five Tribulations Soldiers' True Record would be almost complete.

He is now practicing both immortality and martial arts, which is a considerable trump card. Otherwise, it would be a bit difficult for him to face the eighth-level transcendent in Jiangyan County.

As he was thinking this, he had unknowingly reached the top of the mountain. The mountaintop was so high that it was already above the clouds. Looking around, he saw layers of sea of ​​clouds rolling under his feet, which made him feel as if he had become an immortal.

"There seems to be traces of people in the mountains across the way, and Xiao Qi is getting excited. I think it must be the Myriad Insect Valley in Xuanyuan County."

Chen Changfan observed the surrounding terrain and subconsciously began to think about how to march if he raised an army to attack Xuanyuan County in the future.

"The mountain below me is high enough. If we could build a cable car, we could reach the Insect Valley across the way. The height difference is enough. But the people on the other side are not fools. They won't just sit there and watch us build a cable car right in front of their house."

Chen Changfan retracted his somewhat unrealistic thoughts and turned to look at the other side of the mountain.

Under the cover of white fog, there is an obvious fault. The fog there is extremely low and much thinner. The fault is long and straight, as if a giant had chopped the ground with an axe.

After identifying the direction, Chen Changfan roughly confirmed that the fault should be where Xuanyuan was, and he immediately became interested.

"Let's go down and have a look."

After finding the right direction, Chen Changfan led the Seven Deadly Centipedes down the mountain. The mountains on this side were obviously different from the ones they had just come up.

Apart from the same pervasive fog, the vegetation here is extremely sparse and looks bare, with even a faint smell of burning. The land is a strange black and gray color, lifeless.

"Although it's a bit shady here, there's no shortage of sunlight and moisture. The reason for the lack of life might be because..."

Chen Changfan had a vague guess in his mind and subconsciously quickened his pace. Sure enough, he found a black forest halfway up the mountain.

Each of those trees is forty to fifty meters tall, with charred trunks riddled with holes. It looks as if they have experienced countless lightning strikes and fires to grow into their current appearance.

But even though these trees are scarred, they appear to be growing very well, especially when surrounded by bare black and gray soil, which makes them look a bit weird.

"The Thunder Attracting Wood is a rather bizarre tree. As it grows, these trees will spontaneously attract lightning. Once struck by lightning, it can easily cause a forest fire, burning all the surrounding vegetation. However, the Thunder Attracting Wood is not afraid of lightning or fire. After each forest fire, it absorbs rich nutrients from the surrounding ash, allowing it to grow even better."

This tree can be considered a rather unethical tree. Generally speaking, if there are a few such trees growing on a hillside, the rest of the vegetation will find it difficult to survive.

Especially in places like the Valley of Ten Thousand Insects, the Thunder-Attracting Wood constantly attracts thunder and wildfires, and can also eliminate the poisonous insects that feed on trees. It can be said to be a way of living that leads to destruction together with competitors and natural enemies.

"The thunder-inducing wood is a valuable resource. I've noted its location and will send someone to chop it down later."

Although few people know about thunder-inducing wood, it does not prevent it from being expensive.

Ebony is already a precious wood, but the price of thunder-attracting wood is even higher than ebony. The main reason is that thunder-attracting wood can be used to make special talisman paper, which can carry spirituality, magic, and the words of Confucian scholars.

"Go back and get some thunder-inducing wood to make a few books. Have Xiao Suchen write some powerful spiritual words on them. This way, you can activate the spiritual words by tearing off the pages. It's so convenient."

Chen Changfan carefully noted the location of this thunder-inducing forest and continued walking down the mountain.
