Chapter 144 8-Year Silkworm
Get back on the road and continue your adventure and exploration northwards.
Next, Wang Lang plans to spend three to five months to search the remaining half of Dongshan.
He wanted all the resources and materials that could be collected and mined. Anyway, the space in the Shennong Ding was infinite, so he could use the resources and materials that were needed, and store the unused ones in the space.
Of course, during this period of time, you must do your best to find and subdue powerful exotic beasts or evolved beasts.
It would be best if you could tame a strange beast or evolved beast that is over ten thousand years old and has excellent flying ability.
If that were the case, and with the addition of Dululu and Xiaoyu, there would be a great chance that they could successfully fly over an area of more than 500 kilometers and reach the other four mountains and four islands.
The greatest danger when flying over an ocean of more than 500 kilometers is the extremely powerful flying beasts that may appear in the sky.
As long as it was flying in the air, no matter if it was a thousand-year-old beast or a ten-thousand-year-old beast, their strength could definitely be called powerful.
Because in the air, that's their home ground.
Wang Lang knew that if a battle broke out between him and the flying beast in the air, he would definitely not be able to continue sitting safely on Xiaoyu's back or be caught by Dululu.
By that time, there is a high probability that it will fall into the sea.
After falling into the sea, you will definitely face attacks from powerful monsters in the sea.
This is absolutely extremely dangerous.
To be honest, flying in the air does not necessarily mean you will be attacked by powerful flying beasts. It is also possible that the journey will be smooth.
If Xiaoyu and Dululu take turns flying, they can reach the other four mountains and four islands in four or five hours at most.
Of course, the distance must be around 500-600 kilometers. For example, if you fly directly to a place that is more than 1,000 kilometers away, it will take at least ten hours without eating, drinking, or resting.
So, even if Wang Lang sets out for the other four mountains and four islands now, there is a great chance of success.
But it's better to be safe than sorry.
If nothing happens, that's great. But if something happens, you might lose your life.
So we must be cautious.
Now you can still continue your adventure and exploration in Dongshan, without being forced to fly to the other four mountains and four islands.
If that's the case, then there's really no need to take the risk.
After you have explored the rest of Dongshan and thoroughly understood it, you can then go to the other four mountains and four islands.
In another three to five months, Xiaoyu and Dululu's cultivation strength will be able to reach the level of about 20,000 years.
By that time, it should not be a problem for the two of them to fly directly across 500 kilometers of sea.
As long as you don’t encounter an extremely powerful flying beast that is over 30,000 years old, or a large number of flying beasts in groups.
Basically, it's not a big problem.
If we can find and subdue one or two powerful exotic beasts or evolved beasts with excellent flying abilities in these three to five months, then we can say that we have a success rate of more than 90% when flying to the other four mountains and four islands.
Wang Lang took King Kong, Xiaoxue, Xiaoyu, Dululu and ten elves to continue their adventure and exploration northward.
They lined up in a row, slightly spread out, and if they set out together to the north, they could directly cover a distance of about two kilometers.
In terms of the coverage distance, it is far worse than before.
During the adventure exploration half a month ago, at its peak, a line could cover a distance of fifteen or sixteen kilometers.
However, at that time, they encountered an eight thousand year level monster, which almost resulted in several elves being injured and killed.
So from then on, Wang Lang no longer pursued carpet-style adventure exploration excessively.
Anyway, there are countless various resources in the Shennong Ding space, enough for him to use for many, many years.
So now the adventure exploration, collection and mining of resource materials are just for storage.
Since there is no urgent need for resource materials, there is really no need to carry out large-scale carpet-style collection and mining of resource materials.
All you need to do is improve efficiency as much as possible while ensuring safety.
Therefore, there are not many elves brought out for adventure and exploration now. At the same time, when they are dispersed to collect and mine resources, Wang Lang will specially let King Kong, Xiaoyu, and Dululu be the captains and take a few elves to act together.
Of course, he is also the leader of a small team, taking two or three elves with him to go on adventures, explore, collect and mine resources.
In this way, with a strong captain leading them, the elves would not suffer any damage even if they encountered monsters above the ten thousand year level.
The mineral resources in the desert are really extremely rich. In just a short while, hundreds of green and blue quality ores appeared in the Shennong Ding space.
Of course, a lot of wild fruits were also collected.
Wild fruits are also good things. Not only are they delicious, but they also contain some blood and spiritual energy. After eating them, they are also helpful for improving your cultivation strength.
There were some common exotic animals everywhere in the desert, including giant scorpions as big as basins, camels more than two meters tall at the shoulder, wild horses, pigs that looked like tigers, vipers more than three meters long, and large vultures with wingspans of about four or five meters.
These common strange beasts can be found everywhere. As long as you look up and take a look around, you will definitely spot them.
Perhaps this is also the reason why there are so many strange beasts that are hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years old living and appearing in the desert.
Although the overall climate and environment of this desert are very harsh, there is no shortage of food.
After picking up the ore on the ground, Wang Lang jumped on Xiaoxue’s back and continued to head north.
Now he is also the captain of a team and needs to collect and mine resources in the area he is responsible for.
However, he had to go to the areas in charge of other teams every half an hour or so to store the resources and materials they had collected and excavated into the Shennong Ding space.
Therefore, the three elves are the ones who do the most work in the team led by Wang Lang.
Xiaoxue carried Wang Lang up a sand slope.
As soon as he rushed up the sand slope, Wang Lang discovered seven strange beasts more than a hundred meters ahead.
These seven strange beasts, like the Eight Thousand Stone Xuan, are insect-like beasts.
Their overall appearance is very similar to fleas, but they are much larger than fleas.
They have ten legs, are about 1.5 meters tall at the shoulder, and are about 2.3 meters long. Their abdomens are yellow and their backs are as black as ink.
After seeing the situation of the six or seven strange beasts, Wang Lang confirmed their identities. Then, he smiled and muttered.
"Oh my goodness, this is an 800-year-old silk locust. When I was playing games in the past, this thing was definitely a nightmare for novice players."
The eight-hundred-year-old silk grasshopper lives in Jieshan Mountain. It is cunning and has great potential. It likes to hide in the dark. It often spits out soft silk from its mouth to wrap up its prey and eats humans.
Decomposing it can obtain Great Wilderness Skin and Centipede Skin.
It possesses three magical skills of exotic beasts.
The first and treasure technique is spikes,
Sends out multiple spikes to the target location to attack the enemy.
The second magic is flying.
Fly towards the target and attack the enemy.
The third magic is continuous flying.
Charge and jump continuously, pounce on the enemy continuously, and shake the ground at the same time, with a chance to stun the enemy.
~~~~
There were three large and four small ones among those 800-year-old silk locusts, and it was obvious that they were a family.
However, I don’t know whether it is one male and two females, or one female and two males with four little ones.
Wang Lang patted Xiaoxue on the back and shouted, "Xiaoxue, let's go and kill those 800-year-old silk locusts."
whoosh...
Hearing Wang Lang's shout, Xiaoxue rushed out with a whoosh.
If it were in the past, Xiaoxue would definitely howl twice at this time, respond to Wang Lang, and then rush out.
Xiaoxue had been doing the same thing recently, but almost every time she did so, she would alert the beasts and cause them to flee early.
So, Xiaoxue has learned her lesson now.
Chirp, chirp, chirp…chirp…
The three elves shouted and flapped their wings, quickly following.
Xiaoxue was extremely fast and rushed to the side of the eight-hundred-year-old silk locust in the blink of an eye.
At this time, an eight-hundred-year-old silk locust with four smaller silk locusts had already run away.
The two eight-hundred-year-old silk locusts that were left behind blocked Wang Lang and Xiaoxue.
