Chapter 599 Hunting in the Jungle (Please subscribe, please collect)
Monsters are different from monks. Whether they have just stepped into the first level, or are at the third level comparable to the golden elixir stage monks, or even the fourth level monsters, they need to devour a large amount of blood food to maintain their own cultivation needs.
Therefore, each monster usually has a fixed territory, and the stronger the monster, the larger the territory.
All prey within the entire territory are their blood food, and the importance the monsters attach to the territory is far beyond the monks' imagination.
Whenever monsters or monks of the same level enter their territory, these monsters will be expelled or hunted immediately.
In addition, the improvement of the level of a monster's cultivation level also requires abundant spiritual power and elixirs as assistance, so there must be a spiritual place in the monster's territory as the monster's lair.
Especially for some gregarious monster beasts, the spiritual veins of their territory are usually a resting place for the entire group. Once they enter their territory, they will swarm them like a hornet's nest.
However, this kind of powerful social monster is usually good at management. In the spiritual place of its home base, there are usually some high-priced elixirs that are carefully cultivated.
The elixirs planted by monks usually open elixir gardens to plant spiritual seeds and seedlings. By increasing the supply of spiritual power, they shorten the growth period of elixirs and urge them to mature as soon as possible.
And because elixirs are planted at a high density, other methods are usually used as assistance during the growth process, and their medicinal properties are more or less suppressed and reduced.
These elixirs that grow on the territory of monsters and beasts are in a completely different state. They basically grow naturally in places with abundant spiritual power.
Coupled with the fact that monsters have relatively sufficient longevity compared to monks, these elixirs still have certain auxiliary uses for monks.
If everything goes well, Sun Mingsheng will not only be able to successfully complete the task of obtaining the souls of monsters and capture blood food to cultivate the black-striped ant queen, but he will also be able to obtain some high-quality elixirs.
Of course, in this endless dense forest, Golden Core Stage monks must also be careful. Once they encounter some powerful monsters head-on, serious injury and failure are also normal outcomes.
"Although there are a large number of first-order and second-order elixirs growing outside the dense forest, there are also an overwhelming number of first-order and second-order monsters here. The combat power of each one cannot be underestimated. I don't know how many of these monks can gain anything from here. "
Sun Mingsheng's figure disappeared in a flash. He looked at the hundreds of Qi-refining and foundation-building monks on the ground who were fighting with all their strength, and he couldn't help but express emotion.
These monks fighting outside the dense forest are basically casual cultivators and some micro families whose inheritance has not been stable. With no other means, they can only obtain cultivation resources in this way.
The entire hunting process is undoubtedly quite bloody, and there are successes and failures. Those who succeed can exchange some spiritual objects to improve their own cultivation and combat effectiveness, and then get on the right track.
On the contrary, the loser can only become the blood food in the belly of the monster, and all the past efforts will be wiped out, leaving no traces. In short, this is also a process of eliminating the dross and extracting the essence.
In addition to the fights between monks and monsters, the fights between monks for a few trophies are also extremely cruel.
Especially for some casual cultivators in the Qi refining period, a fight may break out just for a spiritual medicine worth less than ten spiritual stones. In short, the level of bloodshed and cruelty is far beyond imagination.
Relatively speaking, it will be slightly easier for family and sect monks. Even if they need to hunt monsters, their family elders will provide some help, and the risk will be greatly reduced.
Two days later, Sun Mingsheng's figure had appeared in the core of the dense forest.
The spiritual power escaping in the core of this dense forest is comparable to the spiritual veins of the Divine Dog Mountain, so the monsters that are qualified to rest and occupy the territory here must be at least third level or above.
Sun Mingsheng had tried his best to improve his cultivation level over the years, but he only used the help of the two two-headed ginseng fruits he obtained in the Endless Sea to break through the bottleneck and advance to the second level of the Golden Pill.
Of course, there is no slacking off after the cultivation level is promoted. No matter when and where you are, you must ensure normal practice time every day.
However, the mana obtained through the operation of the Great Zhoutian is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket for a golden elixir in the abdominal Dantian, and the improvement of cultivation is also limited.
In his current state, if he encounters a third-level low-grade monster head-on, he can defeat it, a third-order mid-grade monster can ensure his own safety, and a third-order high-grade monster can only escape. In the end, There is no certainty about the outcome, it depends more on luck.
Therefore, although Sun Mingsheng entered the boundless dense forest to search, he would not easily attack a certain kind of monster. Everything was based on his own safety.
"Meow"
Unfortunately, there are nine out of ten cases where everything goes unsatisfactory. Even if a monk at the Golden Core Stage is faced with such an unexpected battle, he has no other choice but to fight it.
A black and white cat shot out from a dense clump of branches and leaves, and seemed to have identified Sun Mingsheng, a second-level golden elixir monk, as its target. A cold light flashed from its sharp claws. Passed away, heading straight for Sun Mingsheng's neck.
"The civet cat with black and white flowers, there is such a little guy in this dense forest. Since you have brought it to your door, I won't be polite."
Facing this civet cat that came to his door, Sun Mingsheng naturally showed no fear at all. He was unwilling to provoke other monsters easily, but he would not shy away from fighting those who actively provoked him.
The black and white civet cat is famous for its flexibility and speed, and its combat power is not too outstanding. Therefore, facing this little guy, Sun Mingsheng is basically invincible.
It is worth noting that this kind of civet cat is very intelligent, and does not have the character of most monsters that will not stop fighting once a battle begins. On the contrary, those who are well versed in current affairs are heroes. Once they are defeated and will be at a disadvantage in the battle, They will start looking for suitable opportunities to evacuate.
Soon enough, when a pair of civet's front paws appeared in front of Sun Mingsheng's face with bursts of cold light, he opened his mouth and sprayed out the Nanshan Seal magic weapon.
With the support of the golden elixir's sufficient mana, the Nanshan Seal rose up in the wind, using its own weight and natural heat to fiercely hit the civet cat among the black and white flowers.
"Meow"
As if aware of the danger, the civet turned around 360 degrees very lightly and narrowly missed the Nanshan Seal.
"Blade broadsword, go"
Faced with this situation, Sun Mingsheng had naturally expected it early, and another magic weapon, the sword, burst out and slashed down with bursts of cold light.
Compared to the Nanshan Seal, this magic weapon may be slightly inferior in terms of offense, but it clearly has a sufficient advantage in terms of flexibility.
Under his calculation, it was as if a civet had bumped into him on his own initiative.
