Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 271 Search
In the courtyard, Ji Fuyou wielded the Dragon Pattern Sword, practicing its integration with the flying sword with great care.

He even put the Wuji Sword aside and ignored it.

pity……

He squandered all the lucky oil he had previously acquired on the Wuji Sword; otherwise, if he had used enough lucky oil on the Dragon Pattern Sword, his mental energy consumption would have been reduced.

"We need to increase the development of the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes and allow more hunters to enter the valley to collect more lucky oil."

Ji Fuyou pondered.

Just then, Jiang Ran rushed over again: "Master Ji, Miss Gu has come to visit."

"Miss Gu? Gu Yinbing?"

Ji Fuyou was somewhat surprised.

And because of the hunting of the divine eagle?
Didn't he already clearly refuse?
After thinking for a moment, he still said, "Please ask her to go to the living room."

"Yes."

Jiang Ran responded.

Ji Fuyou carefully put away the Dragon Pattern Sword and then turned his gaze to the Limitless Sword.

Now that he has a better Dragon Pattern Sword, he can finally use the Limitless Sword.

Gu Yinbing longed to possess this high-level divine weapon, and if she could afford the price, selling her the flying sword would be perfectly acceptable.

Given the rarity of the Wuji Sword, selling it for one purple spirit source crystal and two purple physique source crystals is not expensive.

Gu Yinbing definitely couldn't produce those source crystals.

But Gu Qing might not be the same.

Thinking of this, he quickly went into the living room.

In the living room, Gu Yinbing seemed to have just sat down, without even taking a sip of water.

However, she wasn't the type of person who cared too much about etiquette.

Seeing Ji Fuyou arrive, she went straight to the point, taking out something that looked like a compass: "Here, you can borrow this!"

"This is……"

Looking at the appearance of this treasure, Ji Fuyou quickly realized something: "A detection compass?"

"Correct."

Gu Yinbing said, "Didn't you send a message to my brother asking to borrow this? He asked me to bring it to you."

Upon receiving her confirmation, Ji Fuyou smiled.

"Thank you."

He plans to vigorously develop the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes.

To develop the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes, Zhu He and his group, who are hiding within the valley, must be dealt with.

Otherwise, if they were to attack more hunter teams in the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes and cause significant damage, they could frighten all hunter teams into not daring to venture deeper into the valley.

"What does Master Gu need? Let me see if I can provide it."

"He didn't say."

Gu Yinbing shook her head.

After hearing this, Ji Fuyou turned his gaze to the compass.

This compass possesses such extraordinary properties that its value is probably immeasurable by ordinary treasures. In certain crucial moments, it may even be more useful than a high-level divine weapon.

After thinking for a moment, he took out the Wuji Sword: "Didn't you want to borrow the Wuji Sword to hunt down the Divine Eagle? Here you go."

"You're willing to lend it to me?"

Gu Yinbing's eyes lit up immediately.

"Ah."

Ji Fuyou responded, "If Master Gu is willing to help you buy this flying sword back, one top-tier spirit source crystal and two top-tier physique source crystals will suffice."

After saying that, he added, "I've invested a lot of resources in nurturing this flying sword recently, reducing the mental burden when using it. As for the specific effects... you'll know once you use it."

"One Spirit Source Crystal and two Physical Source Crystals... and they're purple..."

Gu Yinbing bit her lip and finally said, "I'll go find my brother and see if he has any of these Source Crystals now."

"it is good."

Ji Fuyou nodded.

At that moment, Gu Yinbing didn't even bother to drink a sip of water, and before she had even warmed her chair, she said goodbye and left.

Knowing her personality, Ji Fuyou did not try to stop her.

"Detection compass".

Looking at the treasure in his hand, Ji Fuyou quickly said to Jiang Ran, "Bring me the personal items you've collected related to Zhu He."

"Yes."

Jiang Ran quickly went to prepare.

Ji Fuyou, on the other hand, packed his things for the trip.

Carry supplies deep into the fog.

He did not send a message to Yang Kaitai and the others, partly because they had just returned from the Daylight Forest and needed to rest.

On the other hand, dealing with Zhu He wouldn't require the entire team to work together.

Several days ago, when Ji Fuyou sent a message to Gu Qing, he was already waiting for this moment to borrow the compass. Naturally, he had already collected Zhu He's personal items.

Before long, the items were brought over one by one.

Carrying these items, along with the divine beast horned deer that needed to be infused with spiritual "activity" from time to time to maintain its life form, Ji Fuyou headed directly towards the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes.

Like the Detection Compass and the Floating Season's Teleportation Authority, it can only be used in the fog.

Furthermore, the target being detected must also be shrouded in mist.

To some extent, this power of detection also seems to be a form of authority.

Unlike the teleportation authority, which was directly transferred to him, it was transferred through the external object of the "compass".

As Ji Fuyou arrived in the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes, he quickly activated the detection compass, and an invisible wave seemed to intertwine with Zhu He's clothing.

Before long, a red line seemed to appear on the compass.

From light to dark.

Clearly, these are traces left by Zhu He during his activities in the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes.

The fainter the trace, the further back in time it is.

Following these trails, Ji Fuyou swiftly traversed the valley, heading straight into its interior.

Although the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes has not regained its former popularity, there are still quite a few martial artists who form teams to hunt in the valley.

even……

There are also a very small number of ordinary people who haven't even refined a single white physique source crystal. The mutated pythons in the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes are basically giant pythons that are less than ten meters long. Although they are very ferocious due to mutation, they can still be killed by humans if they can set traps and shoot them with crossbows.

After all, they are flesh and blood beings with a physical strength stat of around 20 points.

Such a physique cannot withstand pistol bullets, let alone swords, spears, and arrows.

In addition, these are beasts with low intelligence that act on instinct, so ordinary humans have plenty of ways to hunt them with weapons and courage.

Ji Fuyou followed the probe compass and moved quickly.

Under his mental perception, all the mutated pythons were shot down by the Dragon Pattern Sword before they even appeared in his field of vision.

No one escaped the net.

After traveling for a long time, Ji Fuyou's figure stopped in a mine.

"They actually hid here?"

The reason why Longshou Town was so prosperous in the past was because there was a huge jade mine in Wanshe Valley.

More than a year ago, a fog descended, and the jade mine was abandoned. To this day, no one knows what the mine looks like.

Ji Fuyou glanced at the marks displayed on the compass.

These traces...

Basically, it follows the activity path of Zhu He and others.

Without much hesitation, he followed them into the mine.

The layout of this mine's perimeter is somewhat similar to that of the collapsed Chigui gold mine.

However, as he ventured deeper into the mine, he noticed a change in both.

This mine shaft is wider and deeper.

Clearly, since this forbidden area has been in existence for more than a year, the compatibility between the mine and the other world has greatly improved, resulting in significant changes to the interior space of the mine.

Even if the owner of this mine had a map, he probably wouldn't be able to distinguish east from west, north from south, inside the mine.

"No wonder the path displayed on the compass has a messy, tangled section. It's possible that Zhu He and his group are lost in the mine."

Ji Fuyou pondered and followed the trail.

As he ventured deeper into the mine, a monster suddenly came into view.

This monster...

"A corpse demon!?"

Ji Fuyou was taken aback.

Is there a corpse demon inside this mine?
It's possible that the Crimson Track Gold Mine and this mine are both fusions of places inhabited by corpse demons in another world.

But if there are corpse demons...

"I wonder if there is a Corpse Demon King."

Ji Fuyou was deeply impressed by the Corpse Demon King.

These monsters have a high probability of dropping Legacy Crystals.

His Overlord True Form, Deflection Force Field, and Innate Armor-Piercing Sword Qi were all obtained from the Corpse Demon King.

If we could find another ten or eight, and obtain a few top-tier inheritance crystals...

"What are you thinking? I'm following the same route that Zhu He and the others took. Even if there really is a Corpse Demon King on this road, Zhu He and the others will have killed him."

As Ji Fuyou pondered, he had already mentally prepared himself for the possibility that Zhu He and the others might possess several more top-tier inheritances.

but……

Even if they were lucky enough to obtain a few top-tier inheritances in this mining area, it wouldn't mean much.

Even if Zhu He learned ten or eight top-tier skills, it would be difficult to turn the tide against him now that he had truly reached the level of a martial saint.

Ji Fuyou traversed the mine shaft, delving deeper and deeper.

Just as he had guessed, this mining area had already been invaded by the otherworldly space.

He ventured hundreds of kilometers, even thousands of kilometers, into the depths, yet still had not reached the end.

Moreover, when he emerged from the area again, the surrounding environment had changed.

It was no longer just a mining area; it felt more like entering the depths of a mountain cave.

The cave's layout is somewhat similar to Huanglong Cave, and a few stalactites can still be seen.

But this is not Huanglong Cave.

Because the monsters appearing in this area are no longer just pure corpse demons, but also include mutated centipedes, mutated pincers, and other monsters from the Death Rift Valley.

Fortunately, Zhu He and the others were getting closer and closer once they arrived.

After Ji Fuyou passed through another cave and a narrow passage, Zhu He and his group suddenly appeared in his mental perception.

"Finally found."

They really know how to dodge.

It wasted two days of his time.

Ji Fuyou was 80% certain that Zhu He and the others had also gotten lost and were trapped in this cave, unable to get in or out.

Just as Ji Fuyou was about to unleash his Dragon Pattern Flying Sword to deal with these people, his mental fluctuations seemed to be sensed by another, stronger mental force.

The next moment, this mental fluctuation exploded out in an extremely violent way.

It's like someone is yelling out of control.

"You will die, you will all die! It's dangerous, extremely dangerous! You have no idea what kind of horror lies ahead!"

The unexpected turn of events caused Ji Fuyou's expression to change.

Deep within this cave...

Such a powerful spiritual master was hidden away!?

Zhu Long's trump card!?

But just as he raised his alertness to its peak, he immediately realized something.

The information contained within mental fluctuations is extremely chaotic.

Furthermore, the way he expressed himself was completely different from Ji Fuyou's understanding.

However, because it was a spiritual communication, a divine message, he was able to understand the content of these words.

This special way of communication...

He had only ever felt that way about the reconnaissance squad leader named Zhaoyue in Rainbow Sun City.

"Could it be that……"

Ji Fuyou's spirit quickly followed the spiritual fluctuations.

A person from another world!?
