The battle continued like this for most of the night, and nearly half of the Jade Spider Group was killed.
...
Heartless Qi: Tell me if you want me to remove the first part as I considered it disrespectful to edit out the author's self promotion.
...
Right now!
A Jade Spider Thousand Beast King made another strange whistling sound, and the remaining Jade Spiders flew back together and dived into the dense jungle.
It seemed that the Jade Spiders realized that this group of people was not easy to mess with. After most of their companions died, these Jade Spiders finally retreated.
Seeing that the spiders retreated, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Qi Tian smiled strangely, but everyone was exhausted physically and mentally, so no one noticed.
The Jade Spiders are warlike. Once a war begins, they often fight to the bitter end and will not retreat easily.
The caravan suffered heavy losses as a result. Although not many important goods were lost, a large number of domestic slaves, many first- and second-level Gu masters, and two third-level Gu masters were sacrificed. This made Jia Fu extremely distressed, especially since the two third-level Gu Masters who died were the ones he had managed to win over.
The morning light shines on the ruined camp.
In a dull atmosphere, everyone cleaned the battlefield and settled the gains and losses.
Although the loss was heavy this time, the Jade Spider corpse left on the battlefield was a considerable fortune, which could basically make up for most of the loss.
The jade eyes, jade feet, and jade beads on the abdomen of the jade spider are all important materials for refining Gu. In addition, there are several wild Gu insects parasitic on the Jade Spider King, especially some Dao Dao Gu insects that are valuable.
When distributing the spoils, Qi Tian asked for the third-level sword Qi Gu, the third-level sword intention Gu, and a large number of precious materials.
Although Qi Tian made great contributions in the battle, it was still far from enough to obtain these things. To this end, Qitian contributed most of his remaining goods, as well as a few Gu insects that were not suitable for him.
Of course, the biggest beneficiary this time is Xiaoqing, the green bamboo snake in Qitian. The jade spider swarm rarely leaves its territory to attack caravans. This time the spider swarm attacked because of Xiao Qing.
The food of Gu insects is relatively simple, but the food of beasts is relatively wide. Jade spider eggs are one of several ingredients that are beneficial to the green bamboo snake and can promote its growth.
This time, Xiao Qing chose a group of spiders of suitable size to attract them, and then sneaked back to steal the jade spider eggs.
Of course, all of this was done under Qi Tian's command, and Xiao Qing was not that smart. If the scale of the spider swarm attracted is too large, the strength of the caravan will be greatly reduced or even destroyed.
Although Qi Tian planned to use the power of the caravan to hunt down the Jade Spider, he did not want to see the caravan destroyed. In the end, the Jade Spider Group retreated because Xiao Qing once again sneaked back to steal the Jade Spider Eggs. Otherwise, if the shopping continued, the caravan would suffer even greater losses.
Qi Tian planned to use this opportunity to replace some fine Gu worms that were suitable for him. He was very greedy for the corpses of these jade spiders and the parasitic Dao Dao Gu worms.
There are many groups of jade spiders living on Baiyu Mountain. In their territory, they have terrain advantages and their combat power increases sharply. They dance eight sharp jade blades like meat grinders, which is extremely dangerous. So few people take them seriously.
It was not until a hundred years later that a slave Dao Gu Master used the small and extremely fast Jade Hummingbird to steal the Jade Spider eggs and lure them out of the territory in small groups, and then began to hunt Jade Spiders on a large scale. Within ten years, the jade spiders on Baiyu Mountain were completely extinct.
Xiaoqing is small and agile, and has speed-like parasites to insulate her, so she can safely lead out the spider swarm, otherwise she would have been cut into pieces.
At this time, Qi Tian only had Level 3 Gus like Tianyuan Baolian, Kongcang Gu, Swift Shadow Gu, Mist Bird Gu, Sword Qi Gu, Sword Intention Gu and Breath Collection Gu, a large amount of Gu refining materials, and The remaining 800,000 yuan stones.
Sword Qi Gu and Sword Intent Gu are both precious Gu in the third level. Qitian was involved in the art of swords in his previous life. Although he did not reach the master level, he still had considerable attainments.
Of course, Qitian's biggest target is still the legendary Gu. With that legendary Gu, Qitian can make up his mind to cultivate Qi Dao.
————————
In the Baekdu Mountain area, every cottage has a casino. In some large cottages, there are also large casinos.
Lanjiazhai is one of the medium-sized cottages with multiple casinos. Although the most famous Youlan Shifang is only a medium-sized casino, its reputation is comparable to that of some large casinos. All because ten years ago, a lucky person opened a rank five Gu.
This lucky guy is the current head of the Lan family, Lan Cangshui, whose cultivation has reached the peak of rank four. Because he has a rank five Gu, his combat power exceeds the average rank four peak. If he can go one step further and break through to rank five, Lanjiazhai will become a large family in one fell swoop.
After the caravan stationed in Lanjiazhai. Qi Tian came to this famous Youlan Shifang.
"This guest, is this your first time to gamble on stones?" A female Gu Master behind the counter walked over, a smile appeared on her face, and she said softly.
Qi Tian touched his nose and said calmly: "Absolutely." If you don't count the experience in the previous life, this is indeed the first time since his rebirth.
"Guest, do you know how hard rocks are produced?" The female Gu Master walked in front and explained to Qitian.
Without waiting for Qi Tian's answer, she answered by herself: "As the saying goes, humans are the spirits of all things, and Gu are the true essence of heaven and earth. ... There is a sliver of life left in the world, and some Gu insects may fall into sinking if they are severely injured or have no food. Sleep...eventually transformed into stubborn rocks. These stubborn rocks tightly wrapped the Gu insect, and were affected by the fragments of laws in the Gu insect's body. They gradually became different from the surrounding earth and rocks. People found that these stubborn rocks Collect the stones carefully, and this is the stubborn stone you see now."
Qi Tian nodded and did not answer.
The female Gu Master continued: "Please come in and let me introduce it to the customers. Our store mainly sells star stones, sea stones, ice stones, and purple gold stones. Each stone has different appearance according to its appearance. They are divided into four grades, and the prices are also different. Some are as high as tens of thousands, and some are only a few yuan stones."
"The place where your guest was just now is the cheapest miscellaneous area. Why don't you recommend that you buy there? Because the hard stones in the miscellaneous area are in the worst quality. These hard stones are tightly wrapped with poisonous insects. , affected by the law fragments in the Gu insect's body, it gradually becomes unique, which is reflected in its appearance and appearance. Guest, what you see now is the stone in the middle zone. You will find that the appearance is undoubtedly more Good. Of course, the price here is also a little more expensive."
The female Gu Master continued: "Our shop is equipped with the best stone-solving masters, all of whom have at least twenty years of rich experience. One of them is Master Fang, who is good at breaking stones with acid solution. He has been working on stone-solving for more than fifty years. Back then, That level five Gu worm was created by Master Fang."
"It is recommended that you, the customer, after you have selected the stubborn stone, deconstruct the stone in our store. The stone detaching master is more professional and has a special set of poisonous insects used to deconstruct the stone."
"If there is a gu in the stubborn stone, it is extremely weak. Choosing an inappropriate method to remove the stone can easily cause a fatal blow to the voodoo. It will be too late to regret by then."
"Guest, if you choose a stone in the high-end area, our store will remove the stone for you free of charge. If you choose a stone in the mid-range or low-end area, you will have to pay an additional stone removal fee. As for the miscellaneous area, it is not recommended that guests pay for it. It's a master who can solve stones. Usually, the cost of hiring a master is several times higher than the cost of buying a stone." The female Gu Master explained while making secret glances, and made physical contact with Qi Tian intentionally or unintentionally.
Qi Tian was unmoved, knowing in his heart that the female clerk saw Qi Tian's extraordinary character and climbed up the big tree, hoping to make a fortune from Qi Tian at the very least.
"This is my first time here, so I'm just trying my luck first." After saying that, Qi Tian began to choose stones by himself, which made the female Gu Master secretly annoyed that he didn't understand his style.
There are quite a few guests who come here to gamble on stones. They stand in front of the counter one by one. Some carefully examine the stones placed on the counter. Some pick up the hard stones and rub them carefully in their palms to feel the feel. Some chat with their companions. There were noisy discussions, and some were discussing prices with store clerks.
After walking around for a while, Qi Tian finally found himself in the inferior area, seemingly randomly choosing a few stones. There are star stones, ice stones, and sea stones.
The female Gu Master couldn't help but be disappointed, a look of contempt flashed in her eyes. Although Qi Tian noticed it, she pretended not to know, he didn't care about other people's eyes. After all, I am not one of those young boys or some dandy, and I will not fall for such a simple temptation.
