I am a demonic cultivator, not a capitalist with a conscience.

Chapter 135 Stars (56)

"Brothers, today is April 19th, the eleventh day since I set off. Something's not right."

He turned on the phone's external display, had the beast film him, told Bai Ze to stay away, and then showed the viewers in the live stream the broken things in front of him.

Two days ago, he gained 5,000 followers on AhZan, which is quite remarkable considering that AhZan only has 100,000 daily active users.

Moreover, this account was registered when he set off, so it's already a miracle that there are so many people on it.

Because of the large number of followers, even though Wang Ma hasn't signed a contract, Ah Zhan specially created a live streaming account for him so that he can live stream his journey.

Following the route planned by the Star Lord of Wood, he is now gradually deviating from the main road and venturing into the uninhabited area.

Although it's an uninhabited area, the cell phone signal relies on the StarNet network, which is ubiquitous, so it can still be used.

However, the Trapper III is no longer usable.

Last night's insect infestation was exceptionally fierce. Arm-length vampire dragonflies attacked Wangma relentlessly, then rained down on the Trapper Type III like raindrops.

However, this machine was assembled by Wang Ma himself. Although it managed to defend against the intense attack, it still reached the end of its lifespan.

Sitting amidst the carcasses of insects, Wang Ma disassembled the shell of the Trapper Type III and then smelled a burnt odor.

Pointing to the blackened array formation inside, Wang Ma said regretfully, "It's no use. This place has been burned down and can't be repaired."

[So, streamer, what are you planning to do? Are you going to retreat?]

Upon seeing this comment, Wang Ma glanced at Bai Ze off-camera.

The other party also saw the message on the beast, then nodded vigorously, indicating that Wangma could go back.

They've already covered half the distance, and their daily pace of 70 kilometers is already at its limit. Even for a physical cultivator like Wang Ma, that's quite impressive.

The journey ahead will be even more treacherous. Without the help of the Trapper Type III, the dense forest ahead is a giant graveyard, a place of no return.

Although Ohma knew that Hakutaku's opinion was correct, Ohma just stared at the remains of the Trapper Type III in front of him and remained silent.

Finally, he disassembled the Trapper Type III with his bare hands, took out the chip inside and threw it away, then carefully inspected the remaining parts, and then said with a smile, "It's alright, this part can still be used, but it consumes a lot of magic power. I'm a sports student, you guys believe me."

[Host, go back! Being an art student won't help! That's uninhabited territory; who knows what kind of pests are in there.]

"It's alright, I'm still a lumberjack, I know how to get around here."

[Stop messing around, just go home! You're only a streamer for the money, right? I'll give you money, okay?]

[That's right, that's right, the top-ranked guy is right. It's time to go back. Getting this far is already pretty good. I want to see Ohma go back and chop down trees.]

[Yeah, cutting down trees is fun, even though it's a bit dangerous, but it's still better than hiking.]

After carefully reading all the comments, Wang Ma scratched his head and laughed, "I know you mean well, but I'm still prepared to keep going."

"Everyone has to do one or two crazy things in their life."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing, I can do it. Okay, let's go."

"You... sigh, never mind, you're such a stubborn fool! Before you leave, did you see those vampire dragonflies on the ground? Remove their mouthparts, wings, and abdomens; don't eat those parts. I'm a biology student, you have to trust me."

[Pick up the mud from the ground and stick it to your face and exposed skin to prevent leech bites.] [I saw some dandelion leaves nearby; these leaves can help repel small insects and can also be used as a simple first aid for diarrhea.]

See those pine needles? Pick some and boil them when you want to drink water; it will disinfect them.

Wang Ma wrote down all the comments from the live stream, expressed his sincere gratitude, and then continued on his way according to the instructions of the Wood Star Lord.

Whether it was his imagination or not, as he decided to move forward, a gentle gaze fell upon him, carefully observing him.

Wang Ma wasn't sure if the Wood Star Lord was observing him, but this gave him a lot of motivation, and he continued on his way.

The deeper he went into the dense forest, the more he marveled at the wonder of nature and the magnificence of the Star Lord.

Almost no one has ever been to this uninhabited area. The wood-elemental spiritual energy has accumulated here, and in some places it has even gathered into pools that shimmer in the forest.

Nourished by the spiritual energy, the trees grow even taller, with ancient trees, some hundreds of years old, growing wildly and vying for the sunlight overhead.

The banyan trees became even more twisted, and Wang Ma even saw that some of the banyan trees' aerial roots were as flexible as tentacles. They used their sap to attract beasts, then strangled them, and finally savored their spoils.

Interestingly, there are fewer pests here compared to the outside world.

As seen on the map, this is Dazeling, one of the origins of insect pests.

The so-called insect pests are actually insects that cannot survive inside Dazeling and have to go to the outside world. During their migration, they obtain a lot of food at the edge and thus multiply.

Compared to these, the environment inside Dazeling is much harsher and more terrifying.

Earthworms, as large as pythons, slither underground, while spiders the size of washbasins lurk in the shadows, waiting for their prey to take the bait.

Even with his Qi Refining Level 8 cultivation, Wang Ma had to be extremely careful here.

At the same time, he gradually understood why the Wood Star Lord had chosen this place for him.

The Star Lord can choose to help people fulfill their wishes, but these wishes come at a price.

If you have money, you can contribute; if you don't, you need to complete some tasks assigned by the Star Lord in order to receive corresponding blessings and rewards.

Almost no one has ever been to this no-man's-land, and it's likely that the Wood Star Lord received a request or commission from someone else who wanted someone to explore this place, and since he himself wanted to go to Tianyuan, this task was passed on to him.

Although he knew that he had also become part of the Star Lord's mission, Wang Ma did not resent the Wood Star Lord.

The other party's blessing had begun to gradually manifest, allowing him to vaguely sense certain dangers in the dense forest and take cover.

The strange beasts that appeared in "The Record of Mountains and Seas" also helped him a lot.

The newly updated feature of the Beast Display function can hide the images of mythical beasts such as Bai Ze, allowing them to appear beside Wang Ma at any time, talk and chat with him, and maintain his mental state.

At the same time, some of these strange beasts can detect the surrounding environment and report the situation to him.

Although they are all illusions, illusions can ignore the surrounding real objects, which makes them better for reconnaissance and allows Wang Ma to be safer.

The number of viewers in the live stream is gradually increasing. Wang Ma's feat of exploring the no-man's land has attracted everyone's attention, making him a shining star on the platform.
