Chapter 239: Zhang Family Old Friend, Shadow Valley, Treasure
Chapter 239: Zhang Family Old Friend, Shadow Valley, Treasure
Fu Yongqi was quite nervous at this time.
When the red-tailed wolf knocked at the door, he was completely unaware and even opened the gate to let the red-tailed wolf in.
If it weren’t for the presence of the head of the family.
Then the mountain gate would have been breached long ago today.
It’s a good thing that he was born in the Battle Hall.
Fu Yongqi handed over the list with a guilty look on his face and said:
"Master, this is the amount of useful materials collected from the red-tailed wolf, including 26 second-level demon pills. According to the decree issued by the Zhenshi Division, they can be exchanged for 1,300 imperial merit points. In addition, the second-level red-tailed fox blood essence was collected..."
When the other party is telling the story.
The familiar mechanical voice resounded in Fu Changsheng's sea of consciousness:
"Ding"
"You led your people to resist the attack of the red-tailed wolf, and harvested monster materials worth tens of thousands of spirit stones, earning you 600 family contribution points."
Followed by.
The contribution value on the panel instantly changed to four thousand one hundred and twenty.
Fu Changsheng's eyes lit up with joy.
Obviously.
The beast tide outbreak is a double-edged sword.
Although the danger is great, it is also a great opportunity to accumulate wealth. If it were under normal circumstances, it would undoubtedly be a pipe dream for them to earn tens of thousands of spirit stones overnight.
Fu Changsheng put the list away.
His eyes fell on Fu Yongqi. Judging from his attire, he was obviously the deputy captain of the Zhengzhan Hall. He hesitated for a while and said:
"Red-tailed wolves are cunning by nature, so they didn't inform you in advance when they attacked the mountain, leaving you in danger. As compensation, what reward do you want?"
It was the first time that Fu Yongqi spoke to the head of the family at such a close distance.
He originally came here to ask for forgiveness.
Never thought about it.
The head of the family actually wanted to reward him.
This sudden surprise left him a little dazed.
As the head of the Zhengzhan Hall, Fu Molan reminded him: "Yongqi, why are you still standing there? The master will reward you, don't miss this good opportunity."
Fu Yongqi came back to his senses and hurriedly bowed and said:
"Thank you for your kindness, Master. Yongqi knows himself well. I was at fault first. Master, please don't blame me. Yongqi is already very grateful and would never ask for any reward."
This is the truth.
Originally, submitting the list to the head of the family was not something he could do in his current position. He used a year's salary to ask the captain to give me this opportunity, just so that he could confess his crime before the Reward and Punishment Hall.
Fu Changsheng looked at Fu Yongqi again.
Wait until people leave.
To Fu Molan:
"Molan, you have trained a good seedling."
Fu Molan was also a little surprised.
Because Fu Yongqi rarely shows up on weekdays, she didn't have much impression of him. She planned to go back and find out his overall abilities. If possible, she could make an exception and promote him to captain.
The five of them returned to the mountain gate and sat down.
Liu Meizhen received the information and immediately sent a message to inquire about the relevant situation. After replying, Fu Changsheng looked at Fu Changli and said:
"Fourth sister, do you know where the red-tailed wolf's lair is?"
This time, the red-tailed wolf came to the door.
If the root of the problem is not eradicated, with the intelligence of the red-tailed wolves, it may lead to disaster in the future. Moreover, the power of the spell cast by the wolf king later is almost equal to that of spiritual magic, and it does not look like blood magic at all.
"Master, although I have been in the Zhengzhan Hall for some time, I have not gone deep into the mountains. I have to ask Sister Molan about this."
"Hold on"
Fu Molan thought about it for a while.
One shot storage bag.
A flash of glow.
Then a jade slip fell into her hand. The jade slip recorded all the information about the Ten Thousand Mountains that their Conquest Hall had collected, including details about how many monsters were hidden on each mountain.
A quick glance.
Fu Molan raised her eyes and said:
"Deep in the Cloudy Mountains, there is a place called 'Shadow Valley'. The surrounding peaks are towering into the clouds, and the valley is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round."
"Think carefully"
"The clouds and mist in Shadow Valley are very similar to those caused by the Red Tailed Wolf. However, there is a natural maze at the entrance of Shadow Valley. We were just hunting and passing by, and did not go in to explore."
Obviously.
Fu Molan wasn't quite sure.
Fu Changsheng wanted to strike while the iron was hot, so without thinking, he immediately thought:
"Exchange Information"
hum!
The panel vibrates.
A large amount of yellow light surged.
Followed by.
Lines of text appear:
[1: The Gongsun family's territory was almost breached. At the Shangguan family elders' meeting, they decided to abandon the Lin family's stronghold and evacuate the personnel originally stationed at the Lin family to Tianlong City]
[2: The four foundation builders of the Cao family are looking for other family fiefs that can be seized after the beast tide]
[3: Zhang Yuanyuan has been in the East Wilderness for many years. Now she has become the favorite concubine of Qiu Kuizi, the chief elder of the Yinan tribe. The last Taiji locust disaster was planned by Zhang Yuanyuan and Qiu Kuizi. Zhang Yuanyuan has always remembered your hatred for exterminating her clan.]
[4: The lair of the red-tailed wolf that attacked your Pingshan County fiefdom is in the Shadow Valley at the gate of Yunwu Mountain. The secret room in the valley contains many relics of human monks that the red-tailed wolf picked up.]
[5: After your twin sons Fu Ge'er and Qiang Ge'er were sent back to the Wangyue Academy, Fu Ge'er got along well with your third brother and lived a carefree life. However, Qiang Ge'er had not been taken care of by his parents since he was a child. After being sent to Wangyue Academy, he felt that he was abandoned by his parents and his personality became increasingly gloomy.]
【6:】
A total of ten pieces of information were exchanged.
Fu Changsheng took a quick look and was stunned when he saw the third piece of information.
At that time, Shangguan Hui was seriously injured and secluded himself, and the power belonging to Shangguan Hui also collapsed. After Zhang Yuanyuan lost power, she absconded with the money.
Previously mentioned in intelligence.
The other party entered the Donghuang tribe and successfully broke through the foundation.
But never thought.
Zhang Yuanyuan is so capable that she can become the concubine of Zifu Daxiu and even cause the Taiji locust tide:
"If this woman is not removed, she will become a disaster in the future!"
It seems.
The imperial court was going to war against the Yinan tribe. Regardless of whether he had the chance to obtain the secret of the Purple Mansion in the dark room of the Yinan tribe, he had to go there.
This time.
He wanted to kill Zhang Yuanyuan with his own hands to prevent future troubles.
just.
I wonder if Shangguan Hui will go with them at that time.
When Shangguan Hui was seriously injured, Zhang Yuanyuan not only did not help him to protect his family business, but also ran away with the money. Now she is married to someone else as a concubine. Shangguan Hui must want to kill Zhang Yuanyuan more than he does when he knows this news:
"We can find an opportunity to leak the news."
Then look down.
When he saw the fourth piece of information and got the exact location of the red-tailed wolf's lair, his eyes lit up.
but.
When he saw Qiang Ge'er's intelligence information, the smile on his face disappeared instantly: "This kid, what's wrong with you?"
What do you want to say.
But since the twins were born, he has been either busy in seclusion or dealing with various matters.
I don't even have the slightest idea of what Qiang Ge'er looks like now.
It was his fault as a father.
just.
Meizhen has taken care of the triplets herself since they were young. Even if one of them is not her child, her attitude is too unpredictable:
"Why did you send the child back to Wangyue Academy?"
Fu Changsheng decided to find an opportunity to have a good talk with Mei Zhen about this matter.
but.
The most urgent task is to go to Shadow Valley in the Cloudy Mountains first.
Fu Changsheng turned his attention away from the panel and looked at Fu Molan:
"Molan, are there any high-level monsters guarding the Shadow Valley in the Cloudy Mountains?"
"The Shadow Valley is less than a hundred miles away from the entrance of the Ten Thousand Mountains. Before the beast tide broke out, there were only first-level monsters wandering there. I don't know the specific situation now." Fu Molan said truthfully.
Upon hearing this, Fu Changli said with certainty:
"Master, don't worry. If that is really the lair of the red-tailed wolf, there will definitely not be other high-level monsters there. There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. The red-tailed wolf has a stronger sense of territory than any other monster."
That's fine.
Fu Changsheng’s mind raced.
Thinking about who to go to Shadow Valley.
There is a natural magic array in the Shadow Valley, so Qingru will definitely go there. Fourth sister Fu Changli is more familiar with the habits of monsters, so taking her along will undoubtedly be a great help. Molan knows the Ten Thousand Mountains like the back of her hand, so she will definitely go there as well.
Most of the tribesmen in Pingshan County have already migrated, and it will be completed in three or two days. There is no need to station so many people here.
Fu Changsheng's eyes fell on Liu Runzhi:
"Runzhi, in that case, you will stay here in Pingshan County to guard it. Once the people have been relocated, you don't have to wait for us to come back. You can just go back to Yunshan County."
"Yes, Master"
Liu Runzhi has been refining equipment in the family for many years and has little experience outside. She wanted to follow them, but she also understood that she might just be a burden.
Parting time.
Fu Changsheng was worried, so he left the millipede mother and a pair of early-stage second-stage soul-eating insects to Liu Runzhi.
Ten days later.
A huge green python appeared in the depths of the Yunwu Mountains.
Fu Molan on the Green Python compared the topographic map drawn on the jade slip in his hand and nodded:
"Master, go three miles ahead and over a small hill, and you will reach Shadow Valley."
A distance of three miles.
For the Green Python.
Almost instantly.
Jump over the hill.
Shadow Valley came into view.
The whole valley is like a mysterious forbidden place.
The towering mountains around are like loyal guards, guarding the secrets of the valley.
At the entrance of the valley, a natural maze exudes an unsettling atmosphere.
Fu Changsheng's consciousness probed into the fog at the valley entrance, but it was like a mud dragon entering the sea. Even Fu Molan's puppet entered the fog and soon lost contact.
No wonder the red-tailed wolf's lair has been hidden in there for so many years without being discovered. This natural maze alone is enough to scare away many cultivators.
Fu Changli released a few Phantom Jade Peaks to explore the way, but found nothing. Finally, he could only look to Yu Qingru for help:
"Miss Yu, this fog looks very powerful. Can you break it?"
"Hold on"
Yu Qingru slapped her storage bag.
A flash of glow.
A detection array was suspended in front of him, and as spells were cast one after another, beams of light suddenly lit up in the array and fell into the fog in the valley. A few days later.
Yu Qingru waved her hand.
Only then did he put away the detection array.
Slowly said:
“This formation may seem chaotic, but it actually contains the power of the five elements.
I looked at the clouds and mist in the formation, which were filled with water vapor and had a strong water attribute. Moreover, the occasional flash of green light in the formation was like the vitality of wood, which should be the wood attribute. There was also a faint heat in the formation, which was the manifestation of the fire attribute. Then I looked at the solid foundation of the formation, which was like the earth, which was the earth attribute. And the agility of the spiritual power flowing was like the sharpness of the metal attribute.
This maze is based on earth. Earth produces metal to build the framework, metal produces water to form the appearance, water produces wood to add confusion, and wood produces fire to maintain balance. The five elements are mutually generated and formed. "
"Then Patriarch Yu, how do we break the formation?" Fu Changli asked anxiously.
Yu Qingru thought for a moment and replied:
“To break this formation, we need to construct a formation based on the theory of the five elements’ mutual restraint.
This formation has all five elements and they are mutually reinforcing and cyclical. We need to use fire as the main force to construct the formation to break it. Fire can overcome metal and break its framework; evaporate water vapor and weaken the water attribute; burn the vitality of wood and restrain wood; and indirectly affect the foundation of soil.
However, I still need your help when setting up the formation."
"Just say whatever you want, Patriarch Yu. We will fully cooperate with you," Fu Molan said firmly.
Yu Qingru took out five spirit beads from the storage bag. The spirit beads emitted five colors of light: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.
Once this thing comes out.
Even Fu Changsheng was a little surprised. After all, it was extremely rare for an ordinary person to possess one or two spirit beads for setting up an array.
Yu Qingru actually possessed spirit beads with five attributes for setting up formations. It was obvious that she must have encountered some kind of opportunity before.
Yu Qingru handed the Fire Spirit Pearl to Fu Changsheng:
"Changsheng, this Fire Spirit Pearl will serve as the center of the formation. Use your spiritual power to protect it and don't let it be disturbed."
Fu Changsheng nodded, formed seals with his hands, and slowly injected his spiritual power into the area around the Fire Spirit Pearl, forming a layer of spiritual power shield.
Yu Qingru said to Fu Changli again:
"Miss Changli, hold the Gold Spirit Pearl and stand to the right of the Fire Spirit Pearl. The Gold Spirit Pearl is in the position where fire overcomes gold. You need to use your spiritual power to maintain the spiritual connection between it and the Fire Spirit Pearl. This is the key to breaking the formation."
Fu Changli carefully took the Golden Spirit Pearl, stood in position according to Yu Qingru's instructions, and then released his spiritual power. A golden light connected to the Fire Spirit Pearl.
then.
Yu Qingru handed the water spirit bead to Fu Molan:
"Miss Molan, stand still below the Gold Spirit Pearl. The location of the Water Spirit Pearl is where gold creates water. You must carefully control the spiritual power of the Water Spirit Pearl, ensuring that it resonates with the spiritual power of the Gold Spirit Pearl, while not allowing its water-attributed spiritual power to be too strong, which would affect breaking the formation."
Yu Qingru placed the Earth Spirit Pearl on top of the Wood Spirit Pearl.
He stood on the left side of the water spirit bead holding the wood spirit bead.
Yu Qingru formed seals with her hands and chanted the ancient spell to break the formation:
"The five elements circulate, the essence of fire burns, destroys all illusions, the spirit pearl listens."
The curse fell.
The fire spirit beads in the formation shone brightly.
Flames gushed out from the spirit bead, spreading along the spiritual power shield injected by Fu Changsheng, and towards the rune veins connected to the golden spirit bead.
Fu Changli felt that the gold spirit bead was still hot and connected, and the gold spirit frame was loose. The water vapor of the water spirit bead controlled by Fu Molan was evaporated, and the mist of the maze dissipated. The green light of Yu Qingru's wood spirit bead dimmed, and the vitality and confusion of the maze weakened.
The maze began to shake violently, and the spiritual energy in the maze began to become disordered.
Yu Qingru shouted:
"Changsheng, inject more spiritual power!"
Fu Changsheng took a deep breath and injected more spiritual power into the Fire Spirit Pearl, making the flame more vigorous.
Rumble!
A dull roar was heard in the valley.
The moment the maze was broken.
Four second-level red-tailed wolves pounced out from the Shadow Valley and launched an attack instantly.
"Sure enough, there are still remnants!"
Fu Changsheng snorted coldly.
He quickly formed seals with his hands and muttered something.
In an instant.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, and three evil-repelling thunderbolts fell from the sky.
This evil-repelling divine thunder carried a righteous spirit, and the purple lightning struck towards the red-tailed wolf like a dragon.
The red-tailed wolf let out a strange cry.
The demonic aura on his body flickered, and he instantly transformed into four shadows that pounced on him. The four shadows seemed real and illusory, and it was impossible to tell which one was his real body.
But Fu Changsheng, who had already had contact with it once, saw a flash of purple light in his palm, and purple divine light blasted out from his right palm.
Boom boom boom!
The three shadows of the red-tailed wolf were turned into nothing by the divine thunder, while its real body was pierced through the heart and lungs by the purple divine light, and it fell to the ground and died.
at the same time.
On the other side, Fu Molan moved her mind and a ball of blue flame rose from her palm. The bone spirit cold fire emitted a biting cold, and the surrounding air seemed to be frozen.
She blew gently, and the Bone Spirit Cold Fire flew towards the Red Tailed Wolf's clone.
The Red Tailed Wolf's clones felt the coldness of the Bone Spirit Cold Fire and tried to evade it. However, the Bone Spirit Cold Fire was extremely fast and instantly enveloped several clones. The enveloped clones howled in pain and were instantly turned into ashes under the burning of the Bone Spirit Cold Fire.
The bloodline magic was broken.
After revealing its true form, the red-tailed wolf no longer had the will to fight and immediately wanted to escape underground.
Fu Molan's technique changed.
The flames of the Bone Spirit Cold Fire grew stronger and turned into a vortex of flames, sweeping towards the Red-tailed Wolf that wanted to escape into the ground. The Red-tailed Wolf tried to break through the vortex of flames, but was swept into it. Before it could even utter a scream, it was burned into a handful of white ash and fell down.
The other two.
Fu Changli and Yu Qingru didn't even have a chance to fight back before they were taken care of by Qing Mang and Qiu Chan respectively.
The whole battle.
He killed the four second-level red-tailed wolves almost immediately after they came into contact.
Fu Changsheng made some hand gestures and took out the demon cores of the four red-tailed wolves.
Two hundred imperial merit points were obtained!
Including the previous accumulation, the court's merit points have reached 13,500.
After Qiu Chan used the Human Emperor Banner to collect the spirit of the red-tailed wolf, Fu Changsheng's eyes fell on the green python that was looking at him pitifully, and he shook his head helplessly and said, "You can only eat the one you killed yourself."
"Sigh~"
The green python, which had been salivating over the corpse for a long time, immediately cheered, opened its mouth, and swallowed the corpse of a red-tailed wolf into its stomach in an instant, smacking its lips.
Obviously I didn't taste it.
She pretended to look at Fu Changsheng pitifully again, but Fu Changsheng waved his hand and put the three corpses directly into the storage bag. A second-level red-tailed wolf corpse could be sold for two to three thousand spirit stones in the market, so he couldn't waste all of it on Xiaoqing.
"Sigh~"
The green python let out a cry of grievance.
Fu Changsheng ignored it and turned to Qingru and said:
"Qingru, set up the formation"
The natural maze outside has been broken. Just in case, we have to cover up this Shadow Valley to be safe.
Following the direction where the red-tailed wolf appeared, we went deeper into the Shadow Valley and soon saw a red fog. Obviously, behind this fog was the lair of the red-tailed wolf.
Fu Changsheng made a hand gesture with his right hand, and a gust of wind blew away the fog. A cave covered by vines and stones came into view. It was difficult to find without careful observation.
"squeak"
A sound similar to that of a baby's screaming came from the cave.
Fu Changsheng used his spiritual sense to explore and found that there were hundreds of red-tailed wolf cubs hidden in the cave.
"go!"
After making sure there were no adult red-tailed wolves inside, Fu Changsheng waved his hand and stepped into the cave.
A faint fishy smell hit me in the face.
The light in the cave was dim, but for practitioners like them, this darkness did not hinder their vision.
After entering the cave, they found that the space inside was quite spacious.
Fu Changsheng flicked his index finger repeatedly, and pieces of moonstone were inlaid on the stone wall, and the scene inside the cave suddenly came into view.
However, they saw that the stone cave was opened up into a number of independent small rooms. There were as few as a few red-tailed wolf cubs in the room, and as many as a dozen, and many of them had not yet opened their eyes.
Fu Changli saw this.
Busy said:
"Master, the red-tailed wolves are a special group of wolves. They often regard the first creature they see when they open their eyes as their mother. Let's take these red-tailed wolves that have not yet opened their eyes back to the family and tame them. I am confident that I can tame them into a family guard beast."
"Um"
Fu Changsheng did not object.
"Ow~"
Those half-grown red-tailed wolves seemed to be able to understand the conversation between Fu Changsheng and the other man. A fierce light flashed in their eyes, and they opened their bloody mouths and bit the cubs who had not yet opened their eyes.
Obviously.
This means that one would rather die than be a slave.
"Do it!"
Fu Changsheng snapped his ten fingers, and streams of sword energy shot out, piercing through the eyebrows of these half-grown red-tailed wolves as fast as lightning.
It won't take a while.
In the cave, only the red-tailed wolf cub whose eyes had not yet opened was left.
The four of them walked to the bottom of the cave, and Fu Changli exclaimed:
"Oh my god, Patriarch, there is actually a patch of Yuanxue grass here!"
A hundred steps away from the crowd, a neatly arranged medicinal herb field came into view. The area of the field was about two acres, and four small medicinal fields were opened up, each planted with Yuanxue grass of different medicinal ages.
Take a closer look.
However, these Yuanxueca plants are relatively short, with purple-red stems that are slender, tough and hairy. The leaves are narrow and long like willow leaves but thicker, with serrated edges, dark green and red lines on the surface extending from the root to the tip.
The flowers blooming in one of the medicinal fields were blood-red umbels with golden stamens and a faint bloody smell.
Fu Changli watched and praised:
"This red-tailed wolf is really smart. There is not a single insect pest on the Yuanxue grass in this medicinal field. It is even better than the spiritual plant husband in the tribe. It seems that this red-tailed wolf has a talent for planting."
Fu Changli was already fantasizing that in the future he would train those red-tailed wolf cubs to go to the battlefield in times of war, and to farm in times of peace and happiness, which would be killing two birds with one stone.
Fu Molan on the side smiled and said to Fu Changsheng:
"The mistress and the others are busy again."
Yuanxue grass is the main ingredient for refining the second-level Yuanxue Dan. It nourishes the blood and replenishes qi. At the moment when the beast tide breaks out, it is a hot commodity whether for personal use or for sale.
Yu Qingru saw that Fu Changsheng was obviously a little absent-minded, and whispered: "Changsheng, is there something wrong?"
Fu Changsheng shook his head.
According to the information provided by the intelligence, Red Tail Wolf collected a lot of relics of monks, but he could not find it after searching the dark room with his spiritual sense several times:
"It seems that professionals are needed."
Fu Changsheng slapped his storage bag, a ray of light flashed, and the Cloud Ring Purple Fairy Tower suddenly floated in front of him, and a spell was cast into the tower.
A buzzing sound.
The second floor of the pagoda is opened.
A white shadow rushed out from the tower. It was the green-faced white fox. The green-faced white fox landed on Fu Changsheng's shoulder with its tail raised high.
Fu Changsheng nodded its raised little head and threw a cloud mulberry fruit over:
"Xiaobai, go and look for any hidden treasures in the cave."
