The ancient giant bear hiding in the world of immortal cultivation

Chapter 187 Tiankeng
Because the conclusions drawn are too outrageous, way off base!
Wang Wu decided to continue his research for another month and wait for the arrival of spring.

Winter will be over in one month.

By that time, the snow will melt, all things will revive, and a large number of the lower-level goblins will end their hibernation and run out, allowing us to have a more comprehensive understanding of this place.

Anyway, he didn't dare to go up to someone and say that he wanted to find a job as an apprentice or something like that.

It should be noted that, so far, Wang Wu has discovered that the monsters living in these villages and towns are all in human form, which means that the lowest level of their cultivation is the seventh rank.

This is an advanced map.

This time, Wang Wu's research direction was a group of monsters transporting the remains of ancient trees. There were twenty-four of them in total, and two of them were able to transform into complete human forms, and their strength was at the sixth level.

Those with strength at the seventh level can barely transform into human form, but there are always monsters whose transformation is incomplete, and there are as many as eight of them in total.

The remaining fourteen are all eighth-grade monsters, including four bull monsters, three bear monsters, two horse monsters, one chicken monster, and four donkey monsters.

Except for the chicken monster, all of them are hardworking and persevering.

The reason why Wang Wu chose them was that there was a bear monster among them, which made it easy for him to fish in troubled waters and sneak in.

In addition, they also transport the remains of ancient trees to the largest towns and are among the best in their industry.

This transport team stayed in the town for half a day, and they did not engage in any lavish spending. They just looked very restrained. After they paid their bills and left the town, they were all in high spirits and laughing, as if they had unloaded a heavy burden and that they would have a good harvest this year.

Wang Wu followed behind them, keeping a distance of four or five meters, which sounded a little incredible.

But in fact, it was a very safe distance for him.

Now Wang Wu’s level 18 passive stealth can naturally blend into the air and the surrounding environment.

It already possesses the characteristics of being magical and mysterious.

Unless, before he enters passive concealment, you keep staring at him, without moving your eyes away, not even blinking, just staring at him without blinking, then no matter how he hides, it will be ineffective.

But if you blink, well, he'll be gone.

This is the characteristic of passive concealment.

The monsters in the transport team were talking to each other in a lively manner. Wang Wu was also enjoying the conversation and quickly gathered the information he wanted.

The captain of the transport team is a snake demon, level six, female, named Snake Bold. She has a charming figure, but her appearance is a little disappointing. Maybe it's because there are no human beauties to refer to. Anyway, it's hard to describe.

The deputy captain is also a snake demon, a male. He is from the same family as the one above and his name is Snake Ergou.

Wang Wu didn’t know why their names were so weird, so he was powerless to complain.

It’s still a family business.

Except for She Dadan and She Ergou, the rest are employees, including permanent workers, short-term workers, and temporary workers.

Because we need to pay salaries.

There are more permanent workers, fewer short-term workers, and the least temporary workers.

The salary is not spirit stones or spiritual energy, but ninth-grade ginseng vitality pills. Yes, for the demon clan, this is hard currency.

After the salary was paid, the two temporary workers excused themselves and left on their own. Both sides said goodbye to each other in a friendly manner. The rest followed their employer and wanted to work again.

After discussing the main business, the two bosses walked in front, muttering to each other about calculating the profits, which master to deal with next, which direction to go to mine and transport the remains of ancient trees, how to hire a few more temporary workers, the pension for the last death, and the expenses for the little snake cubs in the family to go to the academy in the spring.

Barbara.

There is no difference between them and the middle-class small bosses and self-employed individuals on Earth.

Some of the farmhands were busy on their own, thinking about things in silence.

Some of them were beaming with joy, making faces and making plans to go to the Spring Calling Tower to find a few little female demons to feel the breath of spring, but as they talked, things became unbearable to hear.

But some are dismissive, but there is a hint of love in their eyes, and it is obvious that they have a crush on someone.

There were also two older and more experienced foremans who warned him in their capacity as demons, telling him to break through to another realm while he was still young. When he got older, his blood would become stiff and he would suffer more and more hidden injuries, making a breakthrough would be even more difficult.

But the young temporary and permanent workers did not care and had their own theories. They said that in today's Western Wilderness, the Ancient Blood Demon Clan controlled everything and we, the mortal blood demons, had no channels for advancement. It was so difficult to study in the academy. We had already lost from the starting point, so why bother?

After working hard all your life, it's all in vain in the end.

It would be better to find some more little female demons to have fun while you are still young!
Others directly cursed and swore, "Come quickly, human master. I will be the first to lead the way and destroy those arrogant ancient blood demons."

Good guy!
Wang Wu was shocked when he heard this. Is freedom of speech so real?

Isn't this too bold?
Oh, this is not on Earth, okay, whatever you want. With the productivity of the Western Wasteland and the loose social structure, how could there be enough power to restrict freedom of speech? If you have the guts, you should issue a demon certificate first.

But he still felt that the demon society on the Centipede Ridge was very different. There were workshops and factories that employed workers, but it was not quite like capitalism because all these heavy assets, resources, means of production, etc. were in the hands of the ancient blood demon clan, and the ancient blood demon clan would form aristocratic families and powerful demons.

The Snow Mountain is probably too close to the war front.

The Centipede Ridge is basically equivalent to the Magic City of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai.

Since it is a rear area and adjacent to the Black Forest, an endless raw material factory, it is understandable that it has such a distorted social structure.

In this way, we walked about three hundred miles westwards in the direction of the Black Forest. At first there were some small towns and villages along the way, but later on there were no small towns or villages to be seen, and instead there was a vast expanse of desolation.

Until a sinkhole appeared ahead!
The huge sinkhole shocked even Wang Wu.

This is obviously not formed naturally, but was created and excavated artificially.

Wang Wu immediately thought of black iron ore. Yes, only black iron ore would be mined in this way. First, dig a big pit, and then dig a spiral path inwards around the edge of the pit...

But this sinkhole was too big. Even with his level 17 danger perception, he couldn't sense or see the end.

In other words, the diameter of this tiankeng would not be less than five hundred miles.

At the edge of the tiankeng was a huge stone wall, with dazzling light flashing on it. It was a formation, and moreover, it was a complex similar to that of human cultivators that integrated mechanisms, civil engineering, magic formations, traps, and sword formations.

However, Wang Wu soon noticed that these so-called city walls were actually bunkers.

A huge city-like bunker covering an area of dozens of square kilometers.

They are not connected to each other. Instead, they are more like the flagship store or main base of the ancient blood clan and powerful families of the Western Wilderness Demon Clan.

Because Wang Wu suddenly saw the huge flag mark of the Snow Wolf Clan on a city fortress more than a hundred miles away.

"No way, could this be the location of the Western Wilderness Market that Lang Buer mentioned earlier?"

He was somewhat shocked, this was an important trade and logistics hub where even big human merchants could come!
Thinking of this, Wang Wu immediately took out the changeable Ruyi Demon Leaf, and silently chanted in his heart, "Ruyi, Ruyi, as I wish", and then his appearance became somewhat similar to the farmhand bear demon in front of him, well, decadent, lazy, dull, dirty, exuding a mixed smell of not taking a bath for ten years and the stench of ancient tree debris.

This is his new persona.

From now on, he is a lumberjack bear monster.

Next, as they got closer to the tiankeng, the number of monsters coming and going gradually increased. Wang Wu blocked his view a few times, calmly exited his passive stealth state, and followed this loose transport team in.

Actually, it’s not really mixed up, because there’s no checking at all.

When you reach the edge of the tiankeng, you will see a series of entrances. After entering, the first thing you see is a stairway that descends in a spiral, like a winding mountain road.

The road is about fifty meters wide and extends forward along the pit. On the left is the direction of the big pit, and on the right is the pit wall about ten meters high. There are a large number of caves carved out on it, similar to the cave dwellings on the loess plateau, and monsters live in them.

Outside the cave, each household has a private plot of about 20 square meters, where spiritual herbs and fruits are planted and protected by a small magic circle, which looks quite realistic at first glance.

There were some obviously very old monsters who had transformed themselves into human form sitting at the door, and occasionally there would be little monsters running around happily, playing joyfully.

If you walk to the left edge of this road, you will see that ten meters below you, there is not a cliff, but a second road about fifty meters wide, with the same pattern, and then the third and fourth roads, extending down continuously, there is no telling how far.

Wang Wu felt that this tiankeng might be home to tens of millions of monsters, or even more.

At this moment, he felt like a little country monster who had come to the big city and was at a loss.

Even he was a little confused. How could so many monsters survive? It would be hard to fill their stomachs, let alone practice?
Moreover, for such a large tiankeng city, without a unified and strong management, are you sure there won’t be any chaos?

To be honest, the power that can manage this tiankeng city well is no less than that of the Great Snow Mountain and Tiandao Mountain.

Wang Wu was thinking about it when he suddenly heard a rapid sound of bells in front of him, and at the same time someone was shouting!

"The blood thieves are coming! The blood thieves are coming!"

At this moment, the originally peaceful and harmonious road suddenly became chaotic.

The monsters in the cave on one side closed their doors and windows and threw the little monsters in, while the big monsters put on helmets and armor and rushed out with weapons in hand.

As for the monsters marching on the streets, regardless of whether they recognized them or not, they quickly organized themselves, some carrying shields and some holding guns.

Wang Wu was still in a daze when he was pulled over by a tiger demon next to him.

"Young man, don't worry about your life! Get ready to fight!"
