Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 228 Go
In the afternoon, Jiang Ran, Yu Chen, Du Ruofei and others arrived at Ten Thousand Snake Valley.

After Ji Fuyou and Fang Qiyun gave some instructions, the three of them quickly got to work.

Rent houses and shops to set up collection points.

The reason Zhu Long chose Longshou Town as his base was because it was only eight kilometers away from Wanshe Valley.

If the situation turns unfavorable, he can retreat directly into the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes and use the mist to conceal his whereabouts.

During this period, the town has developed in a long, narrow shape. Today, the end of the town is less than one kilometer from the entrance of the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes, making it essentially a supply point at the entrance and exit of the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes.

By setting up the rental location in that area, it can be ensured that anyone who obtains the precious resource that Ji Fuyou named "Lucky Divine Oil" will receive it immediately.

……

The next day, Ji Fuyou and Fang Qiyun set off from Longshou Town and headed straight for the Misty Forest.

When they arrived at the entrance to the Misty Forest, Yang Kaitai, Xiao Hanxue, and Liu Yiren, who were fully prepared and armed, were already waiting there.

"team leader."

Upon seeing Ji Fuyou approach, the three of them immediately came to greet him.

Ji Fuyou nodded, then glanced at him and Liu Yiren: "Did you two discuss it yesterday? Who will use that crystal?"

"For Ms. Liu."

Yang Kaitai said, "I will devote all my time and energy to the cultivation of soul blasting from now on."

"it is good."

Seeing this, Ji Fuyou handed the crystal to Liu Yiren.

"Thank you Captain."

Liu Yiren said sincerely.

Ji Fuyou smiled and said, "I guess I'm just being lazy, so I'm passing this task on to you."

"It's my pleasure."

Liu Yiren smiled.

The group then set off again.

Along the way, because Ji Fuyou needed to cultivate his Mind's Eye, he was constantly exploring all directions, so he naturally did not encounter any danger.

Besides...

Even in the dangerous forbidden zone of the Misty Forest, they could easily deal with strange beasts and monsters.

During their journey, Ji Fuyou was also teaching Yang Kaitai how to identify directions.

He will only lead the team once or twice.

Next, Yang Kaitai and his team will have to delve deeper on their own.

After traveling for two days, the group arrived at the entrance to a dense forest.

“You’ve already looked at the map. Now it’s your turn to lead everyone through this fog.”

Ji Fuyou turned to Yang Kaitai.

"it is good."

Yang Kaitai responded and led the way.

Guided by the map he remembered, he made some minor mistakes along the way, but eventually led the team through the dense forest.

As the group emerged from the dense forest, daylight broke.

A feeling of "eyes being opened" welled up in my heart.

"This...this is!?"

Yang Kaitai's eyes were filled with astonishment.

Xiao Hanxue, Fang Qiyun, and Liu Yiren also found it somewhat unbelievable.

"Is it dawn yet?"

"The fog has lifted? No! It hasn't! What's going on?"

Ji Fuyou smiled when he saw their expressions, but said nothing.

Wasn't it the same when he first came here?

"Is this where we're going to explore next?"

Yang Kaitai looked at Ji Fuyou.

"good."

Ji Fuyou nodded: "I named it the Daytime Forest."

He gazed into the distance: "You've seen the information I gave you, haven't you? The monsters here have been spurred into evolution by an unknown force, completing a level of evolution: orcs become orc warriors, orc warriors become orc leaders, and so on..."

"Is this... an upgraded version of the Misty Forest map?"

Xiao Hanxue said.

"You can say that."

Ji Fuyou smiled and said, "The monsters in the Daylight Forest are very similar to those in the Misty Forest, but they are one or even two levels higher. Among them, the one you need to be most careful of is a monster called the Mutant Wolf Spider. They often live in groups and are very strong."

Yang Kaitai recalled the data Ji Fuyou had given them about this monster...

"Only a master-level team can fight against this kind of monster group. No wonder the captain made us all become master-level warriors before bringing us here."

He said with some emotion.

"Your main objective is not to fight against these mutated tarantulas, but to find high-value targets such as orc leaders and snowmen."

Ji Fuyou said, "I estimate that the Blood Moon Demon King really spawned only the mutated wolf spiders. The remaining orc warriors and orc leaders absorbed the power dissipated by the Blood Moon Demon King and evolved on their own. Therefore, the spoils they may ultimately obtain are clearly a level higher than those of the mutated wolf spiders."

After saying that, he added, "Next, I will take you on a tour around the outer edge of the forest. We will complete the mapping of this area and set coordinate nodes. In the future, once you find these monsters, just use the Celestial Horn to tell me the coordinates, and I will come immediately." The Celestial Horn is a special object made from the curved horn left behind by the Flourishing Lord.

Anyone who leaves their spiritual energy in that horn can communicate with other people who have also left their spiritual energy in it through that horn.

However, the horn has limited storage capacity, only enough to hold about 200 portions, or more than 200 people.

Ji Fuyou, Fang Qiyun, Yang Kaitai, and others, being members of the Heavenly Ranking, were naturally among them.

Furthermore, the spiritual imprints left by the individuals were very similar, making communication very convenient.

"clear."

Yang Kaitai and the others responded.

"Next, I'll tell you about the special features of the Day Forest."

Ji Fuyou paused as he spoke, "As I said before, the monsters in the Daylight Forest were spurred by an unknown force to evolve one or even two ranks. If I'm not mistaken, this unknown force should come from a powerful being in the Blood Moon Canyon called the Blood Moon Demon King."

"The Blood Moon Demon King!?"

This title sent a chill down the spines of Yang Kaitai and the others.

How dare you call yourself the Demon King!?
How weak can their strength be?
"Fortunately, this Blood Moon Demon King also has his own opponent. If I'm not mistaken, it's the powerful force that supports this misty, sun-illuminating area at the very heart of the Daylight Forest, a human city called Rainbow Sun City."

"A human city!? Wait, Captain, you mean... there are people in this Daylight Forest!?"

Yang Kaitai's eyes widened: "Humans like us?"

"Yes, just like us, but native inhabitants of this misty world."

Ji Fuyou nodded.

After hearing this, the group couldn't help but exchange glances, all seeing disbelief in each other's eyes.

"Weren't you already prepared for the existence of alien races and civilizations in the mist? You even saw a lot of information and writing that resembled those left behind by civilizations."

Ji Fuyou said with a smile.

"Being mentally prepared is one thing, but the fact that humans from another world are so close, and there is even a possibility of interaction, is another matter entirely."

Yang Kaitai said with a wry smile.

"This city should be ruled by a figure revered as the 'Holy Venerable.' Given the formidable enemy of the Blood Moon Demon King, they should be relatively friendly towards other humans. Of course, we still need to be wary of the people of Rainbow Sun City when we encounter them in the future. Furthermore..."

Ji Fuyou paused for a moment: "I don't recommend that you go to Rainbow Sun City, which is the area where that 'sky light' was located."

He said directly, "The Blood Moon Demon King has created powerful mutated wolf spiders to drive these monsters to fight against Rainbow Sun City. Therefore, the closer you get to Rainbow Sun City, the more mutated wolf spiders there are."

"And what value do mutated tarantulas themselves have?"

Fang Qiyun understood what Ji Fuyou meant.

Ji Fuyou nodded: "Yes, so you can search for the orc chieftain and the snowmen in areas far from Rainbow Sun City."

"Those orc leaders and snowmen who absorbed the power released by the Blood Moon Demon King should also be affected and unconsciously move closer to Rainbow Sun City, right?"

Liu Yiren pointed out a problem.

"Well, the orc leader might be like that, but the Snowmen should be extremely disgusted with and resistant to the power of the sunlight. So, they should be on the outermost edge. Compared to the orc leader, the Snowmen are our main target to find."

Ji Fuyou said, "This kind of monster... although it's not weak, it's within my capabilities. The key is..."

He paused here, then said, "This kind of monster contains a purple physique source crystal within its body."

"A purple physique source crystal!?"

These four words made their pupils shrink sharply!

"A purple physique source crystal that can help someone evolve into a Martial Saint!?"

Xiao Hanxue couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"good."

Ji Fuyou glanced at the group and said with a smile, "Aren't you feeling a little bad about using more than a dozen of my red physique source crystals for nothing? Then hurry up and find the Snowman for me. As long as you can find one Snowman and get a purple physique source crystal, the dozen or so red physique source crystals I used on you will have been worth it."

Upon hearing this, the others also became serious.

"Don't worry, Captain, we will do our best to find it."

"Yes, we will find these monsters and notify the captain immediately."

“I’ve never seen a purple source crystal before. I have no idea what it looks like.”

Several people spoke up one after another.

Ji Fuyou smiled and said, "What it looks like, if we're lucky, we might be able to see it in the next few days."

His words made the others eager to put them into action.

Do your best to find the Yeti in the snowy region.

Ji Fuyou wasted no time and led them to walk around the outer area.

While wandering around the outer area, Ji Fuyou deliberately avoided the direction from which Zhaoyue and the others had come.

If I'm not mistaken, that should be the direction of Blood Moon Canyon.

Those areas are far too dangerous. With the strength of master-level martial artists like Yang Kaitai, they are far from being able to fight against them. For safety's sake, it's best to stay away.

Under these circumstances, Ji Fuyou and Yang Kaitai spent the next five days wandering through the Daylight Forest.

Unfortunately, apart from exploring the outer areas near the dense forest and marking their coordinates, the team did not find any trace of the Snowman.

Seeing that they had been there long enough, and to avoid the team members from experiencing excessive mental stress due to being on high alert for an extended period, Ji Fuyou led the team away from the Daylight Forest.

Moreover, over at the ruins of the Yin Shang Dynasty in Liusha City...

It's almost time.
