Chapter 266 A Bountiful Harvest: Leaving the Yan Mountains
After emerging from the ravine, Wenwen activated her exploration skill as usual.
After leaving the mountain valley, they walked for a long time without encountering any other monsters. Presumably, this territory was the domain of the Golden Thread Tiger, so other monsters dared not easily set foot there. It wasn't until they crossed a mountain that they encountered a few three-layered short-spined deer, which they easily surrounded and captured. Then they continued on their way.
After crossing another mountain, the group spotted several giant rabbits. Just as they were about to make their move, a buzzing sound came from above.
Wenwen scanned the area with her divine sense and her expression changed drastically. "Oh no, it's a spray bee! Run!"
As the name suggests, the spraying bee can spray liquid.
This liquid is unusual; it is toxic and corrosive, and its toxicity is difficult to neutralize and cannot be diluted. Moreover, if too much liquid accumulates, it will spontaneously explode. However, this liquid has a very peculiar and expensive characteristic.
That is, the liquid can actually seep into things like gold, that is, it becomes one with the gold. After fusing with the gold, it not only does not explode, but it can also mutate into a special property. It is said that using gold that has been fused with the liquid to forge weapons results in weapons that are incredibly strong and can withstand the full force of a Golden Core cultivator's attack.
The spitting bees are not large, about the size of a regular bird. A single individual sprays not much liquid, which most cultivators can avoid. However, these bees are swarming demon bees, often traveling in groups of dozens or even hundreds.
If it weren't for the complex terrain of the Yanqian Mountains, the many spiritual plants and herbs that have their own ways of survival, and the fact that the demonic beasts all have their own innate abilities to avoid attacks from the sap-spraying bees, the toxicity of this liquid would probably have wiped out all plant and animal life in ordinary mountains long ago.
Therefore, not to mention cultivators, even most demonic beasts would quickly avoid them upon seeing them.
When the Wen family members first saw the description of the liquid-spitting bee in the book about monsters, they joked that it was really ruthless that they didn't have any gold on hand, otherwise they would have taken a bag of gold with them when they went hunting.
Now, the joke has become a reality.
Wenwen and the others quickly ran towards a low slope.
The giant rabbits, upon spotting the spraying bees flying from afar, were so frightened that they hurriedly hid deep into the forest.
Wenwen scanned the low slope and found a place overgrown with weeds and with a thick layer of soil. She cast a spell, and a pit large enough to accommodate several people immediately appeared.
"Quick, jump! Jump now!"
There was no time to explain much; all I could do was shout and jump into the pit.
After the five people jumped into the pit, they immediately used their spiritual power to fill it with soil until the soil piled up to be level with the high point of the low slope. But that wasn't all. Wenwen actually released a pile of gold and silver jewelry in the area above their heads.
Didn't they say that the liquid from the spraying bees can seep into gold? Since she didn't have enough gold bricks, she threw out all the gold-related jewelry and accessories in her space, waiting to collect the liquid from the spraying bees. Maybe she could make some money out of it.
So, this caused a sudden burst of golden light on a low slope in the wilderness, almost blinding the warbler and eagle flying high in the sky.
The spraying bees, drawn by the scent, spotted several cultivators leaping onto a low slope. They flew to the top of the slope and sprayed the glittering object below until the leading bee had run out of spray. Then, they led the hundreds of bees away, swaggering and ready to fly off.
Every time they come out, these demonic bees are avoided by everyone like rats in the street, and they thought this time would be no exception.
Unexpectedly, just as the leader of the bees let out a long whistle to signal everyone to retreat, the few people who had been holding their breath in the pit suddenly burst out of the ground.
As soon as they came out, they immediately cast a fireball spell on the spraying bees.
boom!
Boom!
A dense barrage of fireballs swept over the spray bees, and the hundreds of unprepared spray bees were wiped out within fifteen minutes.
Unfortunately, these venomous bees were poisonous, so in the end, the bodies were destroyed and buried in a pit to cover up the crime.
Wen Chengbin: "Sigh, not a single one is left, what a pity."
Wenwen: "Second brother, I'm not trying to criticize you, but you know it's not edible, so why are you still worrying about the cooking time? Just kick him out in one go, why are you being so hesitant?"
Wen Chengbin: "I was just thinking that if it's baked more evenly, it will look better."
Wen Qiyuan: "What's the use of being good-looking? You just keep doing all sorts of ridiculous things. I can't even be bothered to talk to you anymore..."
After exchanging a few jokes, the group tidied up and began discussing which direction to take to continue their hunt.
When they encountered monsters below the fourth level, Wenwen didn't make a move, letting her father, second uncle, and two older brothers work together to kill them. When they encountered monsters above the fifth level, she would act swiftly and decisively, until the sky began to darken before they stopped.
Spending the night in the mountains has become a habit, and carving out a cave is a piece of cake.
After four or five days of such vigorous fighting, Wen Qilin suggested returning home.
"It's been more than a month since I left home. Maybe I should go back. I wonder how things are going in the valley."
"Okay, time to go home."
It was approved by all.
The next morning, everyone sat steadily on the back of the eagle, which soared into the sky and flew out of the Yanqian Mountains.
With the Goshawk Airbus on the return trip, everyone was truly worry-free and had the leisure to chat high in the sky.
Wen Chengbin remarked with feeling, "I think that cultivating in the mountains for one night accumulates the same amount of spiritual energy as cultivating in the valley for seven or eight days. What do you think, brother?"
Wen Chengjian: "That's the feeling, otherwise how could there be so many spiritual plants, herbs, and monsters here?"
Wen Chengbin winked at Wenwen, "Little sister, what do you think?"
Wenwen understood what he meant. Everyone's cultivation had improved on this trip, except for her second brother who hadn't broken through to the third level yet. So, he wanted to break through quickly, and that was understandable.
However, the Yanqian Mountains are not something that can be reached at will. Apart from the fact that the journey is long, the danger of high-level demonic beasts alone is enough to make the elders disagree.
No one would dare to let their younger family members come here to train if they hadn't reached the sixth or seventh level of Qi Refining.
That being said, the path of cultivation is inherently full of unknowns and dangers. If one remains stagnant and lacks the courage to take on challenges, what is the point of cultivation? When encountering demonic beasts, one should remain calm, apply what one has learned, and accept the challenge. Only in this way can we forge our resilience and strength, and only in this way can we keep moving forward. That is the principle, but it all depends on the individual.
Wenwen carefully chose her words before speaking, "Father, Second Uncle, the spiritual energy here in the Yanqian Mountains is indeed abundant, making it very suitable for cultivation, right?"
We're all ancient foxes, so let's not play the ghost story game here.
Could Wen Qilin and Wen Qiyuan not understand what these children meant? The two brothers were perfectly clear-headed. They exchanged glances and then looked at Wen Wen and her two siblings.
Wen Qilin: "You're right, the spiritual energy here is indeed abundant, making it very suitable for cultivation. However, it's not easy to get here. Not only is the journey long, but it's also very dangerous."
Wen Qiyuan: "As you have all seen these past few days, there are not only many demonic beasts, but their cultivation levels are also high. Several times, if it weren't for Wen'er's intervention, the consequences would have been unimaginable."
Wen Qilin: "When to come again, and what level of cultivation is required to come, we will decide after we go back and discuss it with your grandfather. Don't worry, you will come again eventually."
Wen Qiyuan: "Especially Erlang, let me tell you, don't be so reckless as to sneak here on your own just because you have an eagle carrying you. You can't have that thought. In short, this place might become our family's first training ground in the future. What do you guys think of this suggestion?"
Huh? The Wen family's training ground? The first one?
