Chapter 434: Demon Forest
Chapter 434: Thousand Peaks Demon Forest
Overall, Xiao Jie is quite satisfied with these three innate magics.
One to hide, one to defend, one to attack.
But compared with all the innate magic he has learned, it is still a little less. It would be great if he could learn them all.
Xiao Jie glanced at the notebook with a full page of notes next to the keyboard and thought with some envy.
There are too many useful spells in this innate magic, and each one is very practical, much more powerful than those second-rate magics listed in the auction house.
Unfortunately, you can only choose three.
But it doesn't matter, as long as you complete your professional tasks and gain the ability of [Monster Evolution], then you can get your own innate magic for free.
As long as you learn the corresponding beast transformation spell, you can directly evolve into a monster beast, and monster beasts can use their own magic. It’s exciting just to think about it.
Therefore, the most urgent thing is to complete the task as soon as possible.
Xiao Jie clicked on the map, and the approximate location of Qin Shou was clearly marked on the map.
Qianzhang Demon Forest - an ancient forest located in the southeast of Canglin Prefecture.
Just from the name, it feels like this is not an ordinary map.
"Master, I will take my leave now."
Master Xiao Yue said calmly, "Oh, are you in such a hurry to leave? Now that the Monster Star Tower is about to be invaded, why don't you stay and work for me? With your ability, you will definitely make great achievements, and you will be rewarded a lot.
Don’t you want to learn sorcery? As long as you make great contributions, even the Sorcery Master Academy in Canglin Province will be open to you.”
Faced with the recruitment of Master Xiaoyue, Xiao Jie hesitated for a moment, but still politely declined.
"I'm sorry, Fengyin Province is also facing a powerful enemy. You must have known that the Soul-Calming Pass was attacked by the army of the Underworld. The army of the Underworld may come back at any time. In addition, Long Wushang's new imperial army has also begun to invade the south. They just captured the capital of my Longxiang country two days ago. As a member of Longxiang country, I must deal with it to the end."
Xiao Jie's answer was righteous, but to put it bluntly, there was only one reason: the cost outweighed the gain.
Witchcraft and the like are just transitional spells. My goal is to become an immortal, and I cannot become one by staying here.
The most urgent task is to complete the professional tasks, improve the strength of the core team as much as possible, and then go to fight Hongchen Zhenren.
Once you ascend to become an immortal, all the sorcery and Taoism will be nothing.
Master Xiaoyue did not persuade him any further, but nodded, "Well, that's it, have a pleasant journey."
"By the way, Master, do you know anything about the [Thousand Peaks Demon Forest]?"
After hearing this, Master Xiao Yue frowned slightly, "Qianzhang Monster Forest? Why are you asking this? That place is very dangerous. It is the oldest forest in Canglin Province. In ancient times, many monsters lived in it. Over time, most of the monsters have migrated and civilized, and established towns and villages. However, in Qianzhang Monster Forest, there are still many old monsters from ancient times living in it.
They have no humanity and believe in the law of the jungle. They kill and devour each other, and those who can survive are all strong.
And it's totally unreasonable. If you go there, there will definitely be a fight, so you'd better be careful."
"Thank you for your advice, Master. I'll take my leave now."
Xiao Jie was still somewhat concerned, but he had to complete the mission. Fortunately, he could fly, so even if there were a lot of big monsters, he could just avoid them.
Xiao Jie bid farewell to Master Xiaoyue, then transformed into a goshawk and flew towards the north.
After flying for a few minutes, Xiao Jie changed direction and flew eastward.
After flying for about ten minutes, the forest below became increasingly dense and the terrain became increasingly rugged.
There are high mountains and steep cliffs, one upon another, and countless mountains form dangerous peaks and deep valleys, with misty clouds in them, which gives it a sense of ancient times.
The towering trees and dense forests obscured the ground, making it impossible to see what was on the ground.
Xiao Jie looked at the markings on the map and found that he had already entered the range of the Thousand Mountains Demon Forest.
But it was a bit difficult to find Qin Shou. The map did not indicate the exact location of Qin Shou, but only a huge circle appeared for him to find.
Eagle Eye Technique! Xiao Jie glared, and his sharp eagle eyes immediately brought the scenery on the ground to his eyes.
However, it was of no use. The mountains were high and the forests were dense, and it was impossible to see clearly what was on the ground.
Xiao Jie circled over the mission area twice but didn't see the person he was looking for.
It seems that I can only go down and search slowly. This Thousand Mountains Demon Forest is a high-risk map, and the adventure level determined by the system is 30-50.
Xiao Jie could barely be considered to have passed, and generally speaking, the adventure level was calculated based on the team standards.
It is even more dangerous to be alone, but Xiao Jie is now different from before. He is skilled and brave, so he did not take it too seriously. He flapped his wings and landed.
Passing through the branches of the tree canopy, Xiao Jie landed on the ground between the forests and turned back into human form.
"Come out, Daju!" Xiao Jie summoned Daju out first.
The man and the tiger began to explore the gaps in the forest.
The towering giant trees blocked the sunlight, making the forest look quite eerie. The plants grew in an overly luxuriant manner, and the ground was covered with thick rotten plants. The broken giant trees were almost decayed due to the years of wear and tear, and were covered with mushrooms and moss. Everything was so old.
Xiao Jie used Qinggong to leap over a ditch, and Daju followed suit. Looking at the lush green forest in front of him, he said nervously, "Master, this forest - I don't feel good."
"What are you afraid of? I'm here. Besides, you're a tiger after all, the king of beasts. Alas, even a tiger like you can get scared sometimes."
Xiao Jie said it with ease, but he was quite nervous in his heart. After all, exploring maps beyond one's level is a very dangerous thing, especially in this kind of game.
For some reason, this forest was unusually quiet. I couldn't see even a rabbit or pheasant along the way.
Xiao Jie walked through it and felt more and more creepy.
A small mound appeared in front of him, and Xiao Jie jumped up in two steps at a time.
However, even standing on a high place, there was still only a gloomy green all around.
Qi-gazing technique! Xiao Jie activated the skill and looked around.
There was no effect. The spiritual energy in this forest was quite rich, almost reaching the level of spiritual energy in Konglao Mountain. It was white everywhere.
"Daju, use your mountain-viewing technique to see."
"It's the master."
Daju jumped to Xiao Jie's side.
The art of mountain viewing!
This mountain-viewing technique can detect the map within a radius of 1000 meters around it, and can only be activated in the mountains.
The big orange tiger was sitting on the top of the mountain, slowly looking around, like a king of the mountains looking over his own territory. Suddenly, the big orange tiger let out a cry of surprise.
"Master, something is coming!"
Xiao Jie looked hurriedly and saw something slowly approaching in the dense forest. He quickly alerted himself and was on high alert. Soon he saw a huge monster with a deer head and a human body, about five or six meters tall, slowly walking out of the forest.
When Xiao Jie saw the monster's appearance clearly, he was shocked. At first glance, the monster had a deer head and a human body, but that head was not an ordinary deer head, but a white deer skull with faint blue fire flashing in the eye sockets of the skull.
The body is not a human body, but a strange torso formed by the bones of wild beasts and tree branches. The upper body is shaped like a human, but the lower body is a huge deer corpse.
As the monster slowly approached, the surrounding weeds and leaves grew wildly and quickly withered, leaving a trail of withered and blackened plant corpses wherever it passed.
Deer-headed Spirit (Ancient Spirit): Level 40 Elite. HP: 3400.
