Tracking Bee
"The fur of the Grade Four wild beast, Purple Lightning Mink, is impervious to fire and water, impervious to blades and spears. If it is refined into leather armor, it can withstand the attack of a mid-level Martial Emperor."
"The horn of the Grade Three wild beast, One-horned Lynx, can be refined into a long spear. Its power is comparable to an Emperor weapon, indestructible."
"…"
The small town was bustling with activity, and there was an endless stream of people. There were stalls on both sides of the street, and many vendors were shouting with all their might. Most of the items sold were the fur, fangs, or inner cores of Desolate Beasts.
Although the Great Wild Forest was full of danger, the wild beasts that lived there were treasures. Whether it was their fur or fangs, they could all be refined into extremely powerful Emperor weapons.
The wild beasts were also divided into grades by the Divine Specter Realm warriors, from Grade One to Grade Ten. A Grade One wild beast was equivalent to a First Heaven Emperor, and a Grade Ten wild beast was much stronger than a Ninth Heaven Emperor. However, it was much weaker than a Saint, and should be comparable to a Half-Saint warrior.
As for stronger wild beasts, they had not appeared in the Great Wild Forest yet.
It was because every part of a desolate beast was a treasure that could be refined into an Emperor weapon. That was why there were so many warriors in the Great Desolate Forest. Their main goal in entering the Great Desolate Forest was to hunt desolate beasts and strip them of their fur, claws and bones. These things could be sold for a good price.
Of course, the majority of those who entered the Great Desolate Forest were rogue cultivators, or those who didn't have a very strong backing. Generally, only these kinds of cultivators lacked funds and resources. After all, if a cultivator wanted to cultivate, they needed resources, and resources naturally needed to be purchased with funds.
As for the disciples of the major forces, they were relatively rare in the Great Wild Forest. The resources of the major forces were extremely vast, and the warriors who lived there naturally did not have to worry about the lack of resources.
Of course, it was not that the disciples of the major forces did not come to the Great Wild Forest. Generally, the main purpose of the disciples of the major forces coming to the Great Wild Forest was to train themselves. After all, on the path of martial arts, one could not just cultivate behind closed doors. If one did not know how to use one's own strength, one would be like a boorish man who only had brute strength.
Other than the Great Desolate Forest, there were also other dangerous places in the Divine Specter Realm. The disciples of the major powers would basically choose these dangerous places to train, and Mu Chenxue's killing mission this time could also be considered as a form of training for Old Man Tiandu.
After arriving at a small teahouse, Zhuowen quietly sat in a rather secluded seat. After ordering a few dishes and tea, he poured himself a cup of tea and quietly waited for the arrival of his main body.
The business of the small teahouse was booming. Not long after Zhuowen sat down, quite a number of warriors bustled in. In an instant, the somewhat deserted teahouse became a little livelier.
The sound in the teahouse also became much noisier. The discussions of the surrounding cultivators rang out continuously, causing Zhuowen to frown slightly.
"Hmm?"
Zhuowen narrowed his eyes. Very quickly, he noticed the four figures seated on the left side of the teahouse. The reason why he noticed the four of them was because the uniforms they were wearing were the uniforms of the Inner Academy's core disciples. He had seen this uniform on Sky Capital Peak before, so he was naturally not unfamiliar with it.
However, what disappointed Zhuowen was that Mu Chenxue was not among the four of them.
The four of them were three men and one woman. There was a trace of worry on their faces, as if they were worried about something.
"That Yaksha Jellyfish is truly too cunning. It actually relied on its familiarity with the Great Desolate Forest to constantly hide. Although junior sister Chen Xue is extremely powerful, it was her first time entering the Great Desolate Forest and she was unable to catch that Yaksha Jellyfish even after many days."
The only woman among the four spoke. Her appearance was not very outstanding, but her figure was extremely hot. Especially her ample bosom, which was on the verge of bursting out. Her full curves attracted the eyes of quite a few people in the teahouse.
Zhuowen listened with rapt attention, especially when he heard the mention of Mu Chenxue. His eyes narrowed as they exploded with an intense glow.
"Senior sister Guo Qing is right. That Yaksha Jellyfish is truly cunning and despicable. It clearly promised that if it lost a one on one fight, it would bind its own arms and return to the Inner Academy with us, but it actually went back on its words in the end." A tall and thin man angrily agreed.
Sitting in front of the tall and thin man was a refined young man wearing a white robe. He shook his head and said, "The Yaksha Jellyfish is after all a fellow ranked tenth on the Sin List. Who knows how many people in the Divine Nether Realm want to catch it and obtain a large reward, but they all failed. It is because this person is full of schemes and is extremely cunning. We shouldn't have listened to this fellow's words before."
"It's already too late to say anything now, the Yaksha Jellyfish has already escaped. Moreover, junior sister Chen Xue and the Yaksha Jellyfish are too fast, so we've lost track of them. What should we do?"
The girl named Guo Qing had a worried look on her face. She looked at the refined young man and asked, "I say, Zhao Yu, normally your brain is the best, so why don't you think of a plan. We can't just sit here and wait."
Zhao Yu was stunned. Then he said with a bitter smile, "With the Yaksha Jellyfish's personality, it will definitely enter the depths of the Great Desolate Forest. The desolate beasts there are very terrifying, so wouldn't we be seeking death if we went in?"
"Then you mean that you don't care if junior sister Chen Xue lives or dies?" Guo Qing's face was filled with excitement as she spoke in a loud voice.
Zhao Yu waved his hand and said, "How could we not care? However, with junior sister Chen Xue's strength, even if we can't catch the Yaksha Jellyfish, nothing will happen to her. After all, she is our Capital Sky Peak's fourth direct disciple and she used the shortest amount of time to catch it, breaking Capital Sky Peak's record."
Guo Qing curled her lips and said in a dissatisfied voice, "Then why don't you give us an idea? What use is there in saying all this?"
"Hei, hei!
I have this little thing on me, so it shouldn't be hard to find junior sister Chen Xue. "
Zhao Yu revealed a mysterious smile and took out a golden ball from his sleeve. This ball was around the size of a palm and it was releasing a golden glow, making it look very mysterious.
"This is?"
Guo Qing and the other two men revealed looks of doubt. It was clear that they could not see what this golden ball was.
"This is a Tracking Bee. As long as you have the scent of the person you're looking for, it will remember it. When the time comes, it will be able to follow the scent to where the owner of the scent is."
After saying this, Zhao Yu looked at Guo Qing and said, "I remember that junior sister Chen Xue gave you a life saving jade pendant before. Take that jade pendant out and let the Tracking Bee smell it."
Guo Qing rolled her eyes at Zhao Yu and took out a beautiful jade pendant from her chest. When Mu Chenxue was fighting the Yaksha Jellyfish, in order to protect the four of them, she gave this jade pendant to Guo Qing. She had him protect the three of them and prevent the Yaksha Jellyfish from affecting them.
Zhao Yu took the jade pendant without any hesitation and placed it in front of the Tracking Bee. The Tracking Bee hovered over the jade pendant for a while before buzzing out of the teahouse, heading towards the desolate forest in front of the town.
"Let's go!
We'll follow them. "
Zhao Yu took a step forward and closely followed the Tracing Wasp. As for the jade pendant, it was conveniently kept in his sleeve.
"Zhao Yu, I say, return junior sister Chen Xue's jade pendant to me first."
Guo Qing's reaction was not slow as she followed closely behind. Of course, the moment she opened her mouth, she asked Zhao Yu to return the jade pendant. However, the latter acted as if he was deaf and pretended not to hear Guo Qing's voice.
The group of four left the teahouse and did not attract much attention. Perhaps it was because the people in the teahouse recognized the uniforms on the four of them. With the position of the Inner Courtyard in the Divine Specter Realm, there was really no one who dared to offend the Inner Courtyard Core Disciples.
"Brat!
Your little lover is in the desolate forest, why aren't you following them? "
Xiao Hei's somewhat teasing words sounded out, causing Zhuowen to nod his head. He quietly left the teahouse and closely followed behind Liu Yu and the other three.
After walking out of the town, Zhuowen's appearance and figure changed. He turned into a tall middle-aged man with a dark complexion and a single shoulder leather jacket.
At the same time, Zhuowen's own aura was concealed by the Hundred Transformation Divine Art, appearing faintly discernible.
The attention of Liu Yu and the other three was completely focused on the Tracking Bee and naturally did not notice Zhuowen who was quietly following them.
The Great Desolate Forest was indeed as Moyan and Bai Yan had described. Thick and solid black trees grew within it. These black trees were extremely strange. On the surface of the rough tree bark, there were actually beehive-like holes, with strands of black Qi spreading out from the holes.
This black Qi contained a trace of desolation aura. Under the effect of this desolation aura, all living things would gradually wither and fall like withered leaves.
Zhuowen was naturally not an exception. The instant he stepped into this desolation aura, Zhuowen felt the skin on the surface of his body continuously wrinkling and coarse, as if he was aging. Furthermore, the life force within his body was gradually draining away.
This kind of draining was not due to one's lifespan decreasing with the passage of time. Instead, it was due to some kind of desolation energy that was forcefully stripping away one's life force, causing it to continuously weaken.
Zhuowen's eyebrows slightly knitted together. The Yuan Power within his body surged and circulated, adhering to the surface of his body, resisting this desolation energy. Immediately, the wrinkles on the surface of his body began to disappear, once again becoming smooth and smooth.
Not far ahead, Zhao Yu and the other three also circulated their Yuan Power, adhering it to the surface of their bodies, forming a special Yuan Power clothing, resisting the corrosion of the desolation energy that was surging towards them.
"We should try our best to be careful. The desolate beasts in the Great Desolate Forest are not easy to deal with. We should hide as much as possible and try our best not to clash with them." Zhao Yu softly instructed the Guo Qing trio behind him.
The trio naturally nodded their heads. Their footsteps were very light, but their speed was not slow. After all, as core disciples of the Sky Capital Peak, their cultivation and strength were not weak. This was naturally an easy task for them.
