Chapter 52: Seizure
On the second day, the sky was just a little bright, and after careful thinking, Zhao Di decided to start looking up from the middle of the mountain.
He believed that almost all the previous missions in the Dragon Descending Valley had rewards for this blood crystal. In comparison, most of the base of the mountain has already been turned over. And at the top of the mountain, I am afraid that there are monks who like to explore treasures from the top down. Comparatively speaking, the middle and upper parts of the mountain peak are more likely to have not been rummaged, and the probability of finding blood crystals is higher.
Two or three hours later, a middle-aged monk from Bailingmen dressed in a red and green costume also came to this peak, and his cultivation was also the appearance of the twelfth layer of the Qi Refining Period. He also saw Zhao Di rummaging for spars on the mountainside from a distance.
The two of them both noticed each other, glanced at each other from a distance, and Zhao Di even put a defensive talisman on it.
Anyway, he has a bunch of this kind of middle-level talismans, and it doesn't matter at all to use one, as for the little spiritual power consumed because of this, a middle-level spirit stone in his hand is enough to recover.
Seeing Zhao Di's cautious actions, the middle-aged monk of Bailingmen also lost interest in talking to him. He gently patted the spirit beast bag on his waist, and two emerald green winged snakes flew out of it, and slipped into the pile of rubble. He himself took out a turquoise bamboo stick-shaped magic weapon, one person and two snakes, and began to look for treasures from the foot of the mountain, and the speed of investigation was much faster than that of Zhao Di.
About another hour or so, another young monk from the Lanyue Sect also came to the foot of this peak. She inquired about the two people who were exploring the treasure at the bottom of the mountain, and finally chose to go to a more remote corner, and began to rummage carefully through the rubble.
Generally speaking, this month in the Valley of the Descending Dragons can be roughly divided into three phases.
The first stage was about the first ten days, when most of the monks were quietly looking for treasures everywhere. Except for a few who had already made a feud before entering the valley, the monks were relatively peaceful during this time. The entire Dragon Valley, which is in a relatively peaceful state, does not have a high mortality rate among these monks, with less than one-tenth of them dying because of attacks by demon beasts or enemies.
The second stage is the middle ten days, when some monks with great luck have quietly found some heavenly treasures, so they hide somewhere in the valley, wait for a month to pass, when the exit opens, and then come out of the hideout. The survival rate of such monks is extremely high, but the number is very small. Although the place of the Descending Dragon Valley is vast, most of the area has forbidden places infested by various dragon monsters above the second level, and it is not a place where Qi refining period cultivators can go to explore treasures at all. And in the rest of the slightly safer places, there may be treasures, and there are only a few dozen, and there will be many monks in each place. It's easier said than done to find the treasure and hide it without knowing it!
Most of the monks have already been discovered by other monks when they find the treasures of heaven and earth, so it is inevitable that there will be a scene of chasing and killing. Treasures also changed hands frequently in the killing of monks. Only the strongest person can become the holder of the treasure, and no one cares who found the treasure! At this stage, most of the weaker monks will die because of it!
The third stage is the last seven or eight days before the valley is released. At this time, some elite disciples who entered the valley with a strength far superior to others would invariably begin a large-scale clean-up and killing! All the monks encountered by these people, whether they were men, women, or children, whether they had hatred or not, would be brutally murdered. The purpose of these elite disciples is also very simple, that is, to find as many monks as possible who are still lucky after the second stage, kill them and take away the other party's storage bag. Because these monks may have some kind of treasure in their storage bags.
This stage is also the most bloody and brutal. About half of the monks who entered the valley died in this massacre initiated by the strong.
It is still in the first stage of peace, and several monks who are searching for treasures in Jingyu Peak are also looking for treasures in their own camps, and they have no intention of looking for others.
For Zhao Di, although he is not afraid of others getting into trouble, he will not waste time entangled with these irrelevant people. He had been carefully searching for the blood crystal, but he had also kept an eye on the movements of the other two.
This crystal jade peak seems to only have some fire-breathing first-level demon beast fire toads infested, and they can't pose any threat to Zhao Di and a few others at all, and they are often killed by a certain magic weapon as soon as they come out of the pile of rocks.
These people searched for a whole day, but they still didn't find anything. In addition to finding a fist-sized lower-grade hair spadrome, Zhao Di couldn't even find a medium-grade hair spare, let alone a blood spare.
Although there is moonstone shining at night, it is still much more difficult to find. Zhao Di simply sat on the spot and rested. For a high-level immortal cultivator like him, the need for sleep is much less, and it is generally enough to sleep one night in five or six days, or even ten or so days.
The middle-aged monk of Bailingmen and the girl of Lanyue Sect, although they were also resting at a distance of four or five miles, obviously did not dare to sleep.
Zhao Di decided to find another day here tomorrow, and if he still didn't get anything like this, he would leave this peak and rush directly to Bihan Pond, which was hundreds of miles away, which was also the main goal of his trip to the Dragon Descending Valley.
In the early morning of the second day, just as Zhao Di was continuing to search for the rumored blood crystal, a middle-aged monk wearing a black robe tattooed with the words "Baiqiao Gate" drove a flying magic weapon like a canoe and flew rapidly at a low altitude near the ground in the direction where Jingyu Peak was located.
The flying of the imperial weapon in this valley was too ostentatious, and the three monks of Jingyu Peak, including Zhao Di, saw this person from afar, and they all silently stopped checking the spar and stared at this person motionlessly.
The other party's bold move without scruples clearly shows that the comer is not good.
When the person who came flew straight to the mountainside of Jingyu Peak, and when he was still two or three hundred zhang away from Zhao Di, he pointed at Zhao Di and shouted arrogantly: "Get out! If you don't want to die under Lao Tzu's hands, get out of here immediately!"
Zhao Di was furious, and coldly looked at this middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and an awe-inspiring aura that flew towards him, the aura fluctuations on his body showed that this person was a monk at the peak of the thirteenth layer of the Qi Refining Period, no wonder he was so arrogant!
Zhao Di suppressed the anger in his heart, not that he was afraid of this evil star. With the strength of his superb magic weapon, he naturally didn't need to be afraid of the other party at all. It's just that Zhao Di saw that the speed of the other party's flying magic weapon was extremely fast, nearly twice as fast as his own flying feather magic weapon. If this person found out that he was invincible, he would not be able to kill the opponent.
Moreover, there are two monks at the foot of the mountain who are concerned about this matter, if he fights with this person now, in case he consumes a lot of spiritual power, wouldn't it be a good choice for these two people.
Thinking of this, Zhao Di laughed instead of being angry, and said, "Daoist friend has taken a fancy to this place, then let Daoyou go!" As he spoke, he walked down the mountain.
Since there was nothing to gain here, and he had encountered such a bad star, he simply gave up the Blood Spirit Stone mission and left this Crystal Jade Peak.
When he reached the foot of the mountain, he clearly noticed the gloating expression on the other party's face as he walked past the middle-aged man from Bailingmen.
After leaving Jingyu Peak, Zhao Di walked in the direction of Bihan Pond without hurrying. He didn't dare to fly like the monks of the Baiqiao Sect, blatantly flying with imperial weapons.
Along the way, he tried to avoid those areas marked with a danger level of two or higher, and made a lot of detours, plus he was careful along the way, and his speed was not too fast.
Despite this, he was still in a valley, surrounded by seven or eight rare wind-attribute demon beasts, the Howling Wind Wolf.
These howling wind wolves are all first-level mid-level demon beasts, and their strength is about equivalent to that of a sixth- or seventh-level monk in the Qi refining period. But they are good at teamwork, and they are always in groups of seven or eight, or a dozen.
The Howling Wind Wolf can instantly unleash the "Wind Blade Technique", an offensive mid-level spell with a wind attribute. When seven or eight howling wind wolves opened their mouths and roared, they could spew out seven or eight "Wind Blade Techniques", which was extremely difficult to deal with for ordinary high-level cultivators in the Qi refining period.
