Chapter 656 437: Abundant White Mountain Black Water
Chen Ku never expected that the first message the Six-Eared Macaque would hear was actually the location of a Totem Divine Beast descendant.
Heavenly Rhinoceros!
If it could supplement the transformation of the Tenth Realm's Dragon Energy, it might indeed increase the success probability of the Golden Dragon Transformation.
He first memorized the exact location of this Heavenly Rhinoceros, and then continued to listen to all the messages within the radius of Eight Thousand Li of the White Mountain Black Water.
[To the south, 3,400 li away, a Divine Treasure Medicine "Dragon Head Ginseng" has matured for ten years and transformed into a Spirit Monster.]
[120 li to the west, an Eighth Realm Purple Gold Squirrel is carrying a top-grade spiritual fruit across the stream.]
[810 li to the southwest, there is a cave where Ten Thousand Taels of Gold left by Changbai Gold Miners three hundred years ago is hidden.]
[900 li to the west, there is a Snake Cave, black white-label, with no less than ten thousand serpents, all Demon level, with the Snake King having Ninth Realm cultivation.]
[231 li underground to the east, there is a vein of spiritual vein deposits, which can yield tens of thousands of jin of Spirit Jade.]
...
Like this, ten green messages in a row, yet the amount of information contained in them is so precious, that out of the ten, six actually contained useful information.
"No wonder this is the richest black soil forest in the legend of the Daji Dynasty, with not only so many rare Strange Beasts, but also gold mines, spirit mines..."
After memorizing these messages, Chen Ku did not waste words and prepared to seek them one by one according to the distance. The Purple Gold Squirrel 120 li away could be found within a few breaths at his speed...
Swoosh~~
Using the Ascension Trace Method, Chen Ku's Primordial Spirit enveloped his body, and within moments, he reached the location 120 li to the west.
Spreading his Divine Sense, he immediately noticed a purple-gold mink far away, holding a brown nut in its arms, flashing continuously between the tree branches.
"The Purple Gold Squirrel, a precious Strange Beast, it's said that its fur can be used to make Feather Clothes at the Immortal Weapon Level."
Chen Ku wasted no time, immediately wielding the Evil Summoning Banner, which deployed a Demon Summoning Rune that covered the mink, shining in purple light, with long and silky fur, as crystalline as purple diamond.
This mink, worthy of being an Eighth Realm demon, already had intelligence and seemed to sense a crisis coming in the nick of time, quickly discarding the top-grade spiritual nut and transforming its body into a purple lightning bolt, trying to escape into the ground.
However.
Chen Ku merely shook the Evil Summoning Banner.
The tadpole-like green rune followed into the ground, and in less than a breath, a green light surged from the earth.
Looking closely, amidst the light was the little mink, baring its teeth and claws, squeaking disorderly.
Chen Ku spread his large hand.
He sent the rune to his side, and the mink in his palm showed an extremely fierce expression, trying to break through the Rune's restriction, but to no avail.
Chen Ku gazed at the Purple Gold Squirrel, revealing an intriguing smile: "Creatures like you usually store plenty of food and fruit for the winter..."
The Purple Gold Squirrel seemed to understand Chen Ku's words, and its eyes showed urgency for a moment, revealing an angry look, then chattered fiercely at Chen Ku.
Chen Ku didn't care if this little thing was threatening, he grabbed its scruff, lifting it up, then sniffed its scent.
Chirp Chirp~~
The Purple Gold Squirrel, grabbed by the scruff of its neck by Chen Ku, was still baring teeth and claws; suddenly, with its four paws, it turned around and hugged Chen Ku's wrist, opening its mouth to bite down.
This was the Purple Gold Squirrel's signature attack move. With its Eighth Realm speed and teeth, generally, even a house-sized Eighth Realm Great Demon could not withstand this bite.
But, when this bite fell on Chen Ku's wrist, there were two consecutive "clang" "dong" sounds, as if it bit into a diamond.
Crack~
Soon after, the Purple Gold Squirrel stupidly covered its mouth, its two front teeth just chipped off, looking blankly at the arm it was holding onto.
Chen Ku didn't pay any attention to this little creature's resistance.
He simply identified the location of its lair by scent and took a step forward.
Swoosh!
The Purple Gold Squirrel only felt the surroundings change instantly, and its eyes showed extreme terror.
Suddenly finding itself in its own "lair."
This was under the tree roots of a thousand-year-old big golden banyan tree, with a tree hole entirely emptied, packed with all sorts of Spirit Fruits, Spirit Medicines, and even Holy Fruits, in considerable quantities.
"Indeed, even ordinary little squirrels would stockpile a bunch of food for themselves, let alone a little creature of your Demon Level in the Eighth Realm."
Holding the Purple Gold Little Squirrel, Chen Ku laughed:
"So many Spirit Fruits and Spirit Medicines, I'll happily accept them."
Chirp!!
The Purple Gold Squirrel instantly bristled.
But,
it's no use.
Only saw Chen Ku's large hand wave, the Heavenly Control Hand was deployed at this time, collecting the Golden Hazelnuts, White Jade Mushrooms, Nine Curves Spirit Ginseng, Silver Acorns, White Jade Walnuts, and other precious Holy Fruits and Spirit Medicines from the tree hole into the Hero King Realm.
Stored in the medicine garden within the Hero King Realm.
Watching tens of years of precious reserves vanish in an instant, the Purple Gold Little Squirrel let out a sharp scream.
Then, in a flash, it kicked its tiny legs, its whole body went stiff.
"Eh? Died from anger?"
Chen Ku stretched out a finger and poked at the little creature's head.
Injected a strand of spiritual energy.
In the next moment, the Purple Gold Little Squirrel's eyes, like black gemstones, suddenly opened wide, it opened its mouth and let out a scream, waving its claws, seemingly ready to perish together with Chen Ku.
Chen Ku was amused by this little creature.
With a faint smile:
"Over the years, I've killed all the demons I've come across, but this time will be an exception. I'll keep you; maybe you can relieve some boredom."
With that, he turned his wrist and sent the Purple Gold Little Squirrel into the medicine garden within the Hero King Realm.
Woosh!
The Purple Gold Little Squirrel appeared again, finding itself in another place, looking around, it saw this place was filled with various precious spiritual medicines, holy medicines, even seeds of divine fruits.
Even its vanished reserves were piled up not far away.
Squeak!
The Purple Gold Squirrel squealed with delight, revealing a gap-toothed mouth missing two front teeth, immediately wagging its big bottom tail, it sprinted towards the precious fruits ahead.
Bam!
Yet it quickly collided with an invisible transparent barrier in mid-air, hanging there, its two glittering black eyes immediately noticed a colossal creature rising and winding its way from the distant sky.
Soon, an enormous azure dragon head, the size of a cottage, met its gaze.
In the dragon's eyes, there was a hint of teasing.
Boom~
There was no need for the Azure Dragon to do anything, the dragon's presence already pressed down on the Purple Gold Little Squirrel, making it tremble all over, hugging its head with its paws, signaling for mercy.
Living in the deep northeastern mountains and forests long-term, the Purple Gold Squirrel, although unfamiliar with this azure giant, had an innate fear of the Azure Dragon from its bloodline.
Also aware that it might not have arrived in a blissful place, nor have any chance to reclaim its precious food.
Outside, Chen Ku, sensing the Purple Gold Squirrel's actions, gave a faint smile.
No longer paying attention.
Turned around, and headed towards other areas the Six-Eared Macaque had listened to and identified.
In less than half a day, separately finding the Ten Thousand Taels of Gold in a mountain cave, hidden in a large pit, beside which there was only the skull of a gold miner remaining.
"Ten Thousand Taels of Gold, to me now, counts as a fortune, but the treasure lies not in the gold itself but in... the suspected gold mine below? Though I don't know where it is."
After collecting the Ten Thousand Taels of Gold, Chen Ku prepared to first get hold of other items before carefully listening to the eight-thousand-li radius of the Changbai Mountain Range.
At this position, he was much closer to the so-called 'Dragon Head Ginseng' that had become a spirit monster.
It wasn't long before Chen Ku reached the location of the so-called Dragon Head Ginseng Spirit.
Unleashed his divine sense.
Soon, not far, at the riverside, there was a being that looked human, yet not entirely, its head resembling a dragon, with a flower on top, possessing dragon scales.
"Is that the Dragon Head Ginseng that has become a spirit monster?"
For the first time in his life, Chen Ku saw a plant-life creature becoming a spirit monster.
Though he had learned long ago, beyond beasts and demons, many benches and stones had turned into spirit monsters, it was said, those spiritual medicines nurtured by the essence of the heavens and earth could also become spirits, yet compared to demons, it was exceedingly rare.
"This Dragon Head Ginseng is a divine fruit, probably not easy to forcibly capture."
Chen Ku pondered for a moment, yet decided to give it a try, lightly deploying the Drought God Air Domain, preparing to teleport over, seizing the opportunity to grab it by the neck and stuff it into the Hero King Realm.
However,
as his Drought God Air Domain's yellow sand qi mechanism extended towards the riverside, unexpectedly there appeared divine rune prohibitions at the riverside, preventing his Drought God Air Domain from spreading further.
"Oh! Strange! There's a formation restriction on the ground ahead?"
Chen Ku faintly sensed why the Dragon Head Ginseng could become a spirit monster, it must be due to some grand mysteries in the place it inhabited.
But this raised a problem.
If he couldn't deploy the Drought God Air Domain, there was no way to ensure the instant capture of the Dragon Head Ginseng that had become a spirit monster.
For a moment, Chen Ku considered various capturing strategies.
Finally, his mind stirred, thinking of a method, ready to try.
