NOVEL NEXT Chapter 187: go, sect master ball!
The rogue cultivators still heartachingly handed over 1000 taels each, continuing to follow behind the Ironbone Sect and scrap-pick.
This was because while they were resting, the more courageous rogue cultivators had entered the entrance of the spider’s nest and seen the piles of corpses.
Good Heavens!
All those spiders were killed?
Continuing inside, after seeing the corpse of the Great Venomous Spider King’s corpse, they recognized that the Ironbone Sect was truly strong!
If they could continue to follow behind them, then they could definitely gain much deeper inside the valley!
When Jun Changxiao led the disciples to kill the spiders, some people had searched the entrance and found many valuable medicinal herbs and ores.
The rogue cultivators anticipated that when they entered the next region, the Ironbone Sect would destroy all the savage beasts and they could scrap-pick worry free.
Leading the disciples down the path, Jun Changxiao was thinking that he’d better meet another eye-catching savage beast, one that was better than the Scarlet Flame Wolf.
…
Passing through the tunnel led them to a foggy forest, one that stunk of excrement.
Jun Changxiao held the Type 88, sweeping through the area and discovered that there were 20-30 savage beasts hidden throughout the region, all around the strength of that Mountain Carrying Bear.
Killing them one by one was definitely too slow.
Thus, he ordered Xiao Zuiji and Li Yuhua to continue acting as tanks, taunting several of the beasts at once.
Roar!
Roar!
Shortly, four large savage beasts were aggroed.
With their auras, they should be peak Martial Disciple or First Stage Martial Master.
Finding them too ugly, Jun Changxiao didn’t use the Sect Master Ball, telling the disciples to directly kill them.
Bang!
Ba-bam!
In a moment’s time, the several savage beasts had all been killed by the Ironbone Sect disciples.
Facing a pack of wolves and a swarm of spiders, they had been nervous because of the numbers. But facing just a few savage beasts, the disciples were quite relaxed.
Xiao Zuiji and Li Yuhua went back into the forest, taunting another few beasts.
Among this group were two Big Apes, causing the mission satisfaction to go from 1 dead to 3 dead.
After half an hour, savage beasts in this region had been completely killed off and the disciples started to collect the crystal cores.
The rogue cultivators in the tunnel were all twitching at the mouth.
20-30 savage beasts with the strength of peak Martial Apprentice each had been effortlessly off-ed by the Ironbone Sect – how terrifying!
Shua, shua!
After Jun Changxiao left, these cultivators hurried to divide the beast meat amongst themselves. Since their storage had limits, some even threw out the ape meat.
Lucky cultivators were able to find medicinal herbs or mineral ores from crevices and pits. Although the good things were all taken by the Ironbone Sect, they could at least sell the rest for loose change.
…
Death Valley had many areas that were untouched by man.
However, as long as the Ironbone Sect found it, the savage beasts living in the area would be met with disaster.
Ba-bam!
Another Big Ape thudded to the ground, indicating that this region had been cleanly cleared.
[Ding! Hunt and kill the Big Ape 10/10.]
[Ding! The host has completed the savage beast quota. Epic mission completion is at 40%, the host has obtained 200 contribution points.]
[Ding! Sect Contribution: 925/1000.]
Jun Changxiao did not continue to refresh the system store, buying 4 bottles of Aptitude Transformation Fluid for mid-grade spirit roots first.
Since this could upgrade his disciple’s spirit roots, these were always valuable.
Jun Changxiao said, “It is getting dark, let’s rest here for the night.”
“Yes.”
The group made make-shift tents with the spider webs, some disciples vigilantly watching the area.
Crackle.
A pile of firewood was lit, creating a warm flame.
Jun Changxiao showed his barbecuing skills to the disciples once more.
The rogue cultivators saw the Ironbone Sect daring to light a fire in Death Valley for a barbeque and were filled with admiration.
The night was peaceful.
The next morning, Jun Changxiao led his disciples to other tunnels to continue the slaughter of savage beasts.
Naturally, he could not say that everything was satisfactory.
Occasionally, they would end up in the territory of a Martial Ancestor-level savage beast. It was fine since everyone escaped quickly, avoiding injury.
“Go, Sect Master Ball!”
In one of these encounters, Jun Changxiao threw the Sect Master Ball, smacking a powerful tiger beast in the head.
The result?
Not only was the tiger not captured, the beast became enraged, causing it to roar!
Fuck! Why didn’t it work?
The system said: [Basic Sect Master Balls can only catch low-grade savage beasts.]
“Fuck.”
Since it was like that, Jun Changxiao could only order the disciples to kill the tiger beast.
“My god, that is a savage beast comparable to a peak Martial Master!”
“Ironbone Sect disciples are too strong!”
“Particularly Xiao Zuiji, he can unexpectedly fight a tiger beast hand-to-hand!”
The trailing rogue cultivators saw the domineering display of the Ironbone Sect disciples and found it hard to contain their shock.
…
Over time, the savage beasts in each tunnel were getting stronger and stronger, the quantity decreasing.
Powerful savage beasts had their own territories, often occupying the whole region alone.
Of course, the medicinal herbs and mineral ores were also of higher quality.
For example, while cleaning up, Su Xiaomo found 10 jin of obsidian stone.
Like that, the materials for refining the basic Tyrant King Spear were at hand.
Shua!
Jun Changxiao opened the Smithing Pavilion, automatically matching the ore and fire seed to start the refinement process.
After half an hour, a long spear with dark coloration was refined.
The basic Tyrant King Spear also had a notch at the bottom where a crystal core could be placed. When activated, it could instantly form an energy beam.
…
Entering another region, Jun Changxiao used the Tyrant King Spear to stab a savage beast, shouting, “Spear like a dragon!” [1]
Bang!
The spearhead glimmered with light before a ray of light shot out, slashing through the savage beast comparable to a Fourth Stage!
The crowd was wide-eyed.
“My god.”
Su Xiaomo walked over, exclaiming, “Sect Head, your weapon has a mechanism like that of a spirit energy martial skill?”
“Isn’t it cool?” Jun Changxiao asked.
“Cool!”
“You can play with it.”
Receiving the Tyrant King Spear, Su Xiaomo was startled.
Shua!
After a moment, he gripped the spear and ran down another tunnel. He seemed to be filled with the aura of a valiant soldier, like a general who could take on a ten thousand army alone!
“Aaah!”
However, not moments later, Su Xiaomo could be seen sprinting back with the spear in his hands.
“Sect Head, quickly save me!”
Hot on his heels were several wolves with purple fur, wind vortices swirling beneath their paws.
“Not good!”
“A Storm Wolf!”
“Uh-oh, we’re all going to die here today!”
The rogue cultivators were panic-stricken.
However, no one ran away since Storm Wolves were known for their speed. So long as prey was in sight, it would not be able to run away.
At this time, the cultivators could only rely on the Ironbone Sect, hoping that they could completely destroy the wolf pack.
Aowoooo!
These Storm Wolves truly were quick. Even though Su Xiaomo was using Ghost Stride, the distance was pulled closer.
Jun Changxiao’s eyes were filled with a burning desire.
Not only were these wolf beasts part of the mission, but based on their size and fur, they were definitely better than Scarlet Flame Wolves.
If he could catch one with the Sect Master Ball, that would be awesome!
“Make way!”
Sect Head Jun pulled out the Sect Master Ball and shouted.
Su Xiaomo spun as he ran.
“Go, Sect Master Ball!” Jun Changxiao poured energy into his arm, then threw it.
Xiu—
The Sect Master Ball exploded forth, flying straight towards the Storm Wolf at the front. When it was about to be hit, the wolf opened its mouth and spat a gust of wind.
Sect Head Jun feared that he would accidentally smack the wolf to the death and did not use too much strength, so the Sect Master Ball was blown away, thrown to some distant mountainous region.
[Ding! Successful catch!]
Nani?!
The ball was blown to the side but the catch was successful?
Jun Changxiao quickly looked to the side, seeing some chubby little thing holding the Sect Master Ball in its mouth, eyes gleaming with love and admiration.
Big ears and a round snout…
Oh, fuck me!
Isn’t that a wild boar?!
