The map drawn by Captain Jin was easy to understand.
Starting from Rongxia Village as the base point, go left about thirty miles after leaving the village entrance, and you can see a red maple forest. Then turn right and walk another twenty miles or so, and you will arrive at the cliff.
The map also records some of the more prominent geographical features along the way to ensure that Su Huai will not deviate from the route and go further and further away.
It took a day and a night to get from Rongxia Village to Du Niao Village, but even if you can't expose your aura and strength, it only takes a little more than half an hour to return from Du Niao Village to Rongxia Village.
The night is still extremely quiet.
Su Huai went along the route and suddenly swallowed a mouthful of saliva and carefully lay on the ground not far from the habitat of the swamp hand.
He saw the dead butcher.
It stood in the center of the swamp, and the dark brown mud just covered its waist. The group of swamp hands kept biting on it, and the small eyes exuded a strange light, hitting the rough skin of the dead butcher.
But, all of this is just useless work.
The dead butcher reached out and pulled a swamp hand from its body and directly stuffed it into the big mouth in the abdomen.
Click!
Su Huai suddenly heard the sound of bursting.
Disgusting, nauseating, this ghost thing is still eating the swamp hand that was initially disdained!
The dead butcher spit out half a bone with a disgusted face, raised its fat bald head, and looked in the direction of Du Niao Village.
Unfortunately, that side is the territory of an imperial soul bird.
Although it is on the verge of a breakthrough, it has only taken half a step after all, and in the final analysis, it is still within the scope of the imperial realm.
Although it has the ability to kill that soul bird, the hunting process will definitely cause some big movements.
When it attracts the attention of the ghost lord of this place... it must die as a half-step national-level!
This area is good...
Since more than forty years ago, the imperial leader of this area, Ghost Face Banyan, died in a battle, and no next imperial leader has been born so far.
It is also because the Ghost Face Banyan race is special, there is no flesh, and there is no great value after dying, otherwise, it would have gone to gnaw on the remaining body of Banyan.
As for those ants that parasitize under the Ghost Face Banyan...
The nutritional value is not as high as that of an eight-order ghost.
Su Huai doesn't know what the dead butcher is thinking.
He tried to reduce his own existence to the lowest.
It's not that he's afraid of dying in the hands of the other party. With his strength, even if he can't do it, he can still run away. The reason he doesn't want to expose is the same as the dead butcher.
That ghost lord is the one who really needs to be afraid of!
Fortunately, the swamp hands in the swamp have been cleaned up in advance by Su Huai. It didn't take long for the dead butcher to completely clear the swamp, pat its belly, climb ashore, and walk away.
The huge sole of the foot stepped on the ground, leaving a huge footprint, which was quickly filled with the mud on the body, and the smell was extremely bad.
After it was far away, Su Huai stood up and frowned and looked into the distance.
"This dead butcher's breath... It's a bit stronger than what I saw last night, and it's estimated to be not far from the real national level."
"Tsk..."
"Forget it, it's none of my business anyway."
Su Huai gathered the night demon cloak on his body and put on the night demon mask, running towards the red maple forest marked on the map.
The red maple forest was originally the territory of a nine-order ghost.
But that nine-order ghost was killed by the dead butcher early the day before yesterday, and the whole maple forest was full of white maple tree trunks and branches lying horizontally and vertically.
The fallen leaves on the ground piled up layer upon layer.
"Turn right..."
After running nearly twenty miles again, Su Huai came to the top of a broken canyon.
The map is too simple after all, and he wandered around the area for a while before seeing the cliff that fits Captain Jin's description.
The cliff is silent.
The bottom of the cliff is filled with a layer of thick fog.
In Su Huai's perception, the seemingly ordinary cliff wall is covered with moths with a wingspan of nearly half a meter, with gray-white wings, almost perfectly integrated into the mountain stone.
This is a group of Ghost Face Moths.
As Captain Jin said, most of the Ghost Face Moths are only three or four orders, and the strongest one is only seven orders.
This is also the reason why the Ghost Face Moth group can survive the hunting of the dead butcher.
"Silver, can you sense the breath of the source crystal?"
[Wait a moment]
The little snake's eyes flickered with red light, and the perception swept the cliff inch by inch, and then slowly probed into the thick fog at the bottom of the cliff.
It took half an hour for the little snake to retract its gaze.
[It's at the bottom of the cliff, buried very deep]
"Bottom of the cliff?"
[Well, there are no high-order ghosts, you follow my guidance to go down, and then keep digging down]
Su Huai took a deep breath, bypassed the dense Ghost Face Moths on the cliff wall, found a relatively quiet path, and leaped down to the bottom of the cliff.
Crunch—
At the bottom of the cliff, it seems to be the garbage dump of the Ghost Face Moth tribe.
Here is filled with dried bones with clean blood and flesh, of various shapes, including some human bones.
Some scavenging creatures are entrenched in the gaps of the white bones, the air is very turbid, emitting a strong stench.
"Damn, Ghost Face Moths... Ghosts... Shouldn't they not excrete?"
[It can't be generalized, the ghost family is just a group name, it's not the same as the "ghost" you think. Some ghosts have excretory organs, but Ghost Face Moths are not included]
[Okay, it's here, dig down!]
Su Huai stopped and took out a shovel from the storage ring. The spiritual power was attached, and the shovel immediately began to rotate at high speed, digging as fast as a drill.
Five meters, ten meters, thirty meters...
Until it was nearly 170 meters deep into the ground, the shovel with the fairy power attached suddenly clanged and flew out.
Su Huai's eyes brightened, and he quickly took out a second shovel and carefully cleaned the surface soil and stone under his feet.
A section of white bones came into view.
Looking closely, there is still some crystal-thick liquid flowing in the bones.
"This is... Marrow Spirit Liquid!"
Su Huai was shocked.
It is said that in ancient times, some body refining schools' imperial realm masters would refine their body parts, such as fists, fingers, feet, and heads, into another special "imperial artifact."
The best practitioners would then produce a special "Marrow Spirit Liquid" in the bones of the refined parts, and if applied to the body, it could greatly enhance the body and bones.
However, few people can verify this.
Su Huai swallowed a mouthful of saliva and worked hard.
In a short while, a weird-shaped, five or six meters in size, white skull appeared completely in front of Su Huai.
The skull was as smooth as jade, with a large amount of Marrow Spirit Liquid flowing in it, causing Su Huai's heart to beat wildly.
"Marrow Spirit Liquid... So much Marrow Spirit Liquid!"
"The amount is not only enough for application, but even for a bath, right?"
"Wait! Since there is on the skull, then the bones of other parts should also have..."
[Don't be too greedy]
The little snake landed on the skull, rubbing the top of the skull with its tail, and judged according to the shape of the broken ends that there should have been a pair of sharp horns growing there.
[This is the remains of a world master-level demon race strongman]
[Hammer Bone Dragon Beast, a kind of dragon]
[This dragon is most proud of its head armor and round horns, so the Marrow Spirit Liquid in the skull is the purest, and even if there is in other parts, it is mostly mixed and messy]
[And don't forget]
[What is the real purpose of our trip...]
Su Huai was slightly stunned, and immediately dug a foothold next to the skull and began to dig around the skull.
When the skull of the giant beast was completely revealed, the little snake climbed onto Su Huai's shoulder.
[Try to see if you can put it into the storage ring]
"Okay."
Su Huai covered the skull with spiritual power, trying to put it into the storage ring, but the skull did not move at all.
[Okay, now it's confirmed, the source crystal is inside the skull!]
[The rank of the source crystal is too high, and it's no longer something that ordinary storage devices can contain]
[Now, dig in!]
[And be ready to run away at any time!]
Su Hua
i swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
It's nothing to be sealed in the skull, but once the source crystal comes out, it will immediately emit a unique energy fluctuation, and any imperial realm can detect it!
Not to mention that high-ranking lord...
