Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Chapter 224 Sandworms and Wild Beasts

The wind and sand were howling, and visibility was less than ten feet in the violent sandstorm. Gu Qing squinted his eyes into slits.

I'm somewhat troubled.

His original defensive magical artifact, the Zhu Rong Armor, was now unusable and no longer matched his strength. He needed to find a way to forge another one.

He took out the spirit stone and held it in his hand. While absorbing the spiritual energy and refining it to restore himself, the superior-grade spiritual artifact, the Crimson Sky Tower, emerged from his sea of ​​qi and floated above his head, shining down with the Crimson Sky Divine Light, which acted like an aurora curtain to protect him from the sandstorm's onslaught.

We've been deep in the uninhabited area for ten days now.

This place is full of jagged rocks, devoid of any living creatures, and not even a trace of wild beasts has been detected.

"We can't just search aimlessly like headless flies."

"Use your brain."

He pondered for a moment, thinking about the information in the wasteland.

Gu Qing suddenly had an idea.

Since he couldn't find it, how about setting up a trap? Food wasn't plentiful here. Thinking of this, the divine light of the Crimson Cloud Tower surged again, and he threw out the fresh demon corpses that he had left for the Demon-Slaying Sword.

Most of them were the corpses of two-headed lions, more than twenty in total, piled up like a small mountain, rapidly exuding blood and spiritual energy, staining the sand and soil with blood.

"Perfect."

The Crimson Cloud Tower flipped and sank into the ground, the tips of its nine chains gradually transforming into fishhooks that pierced the corpses and disappeared.

A fisherman is fishing by the water.

He was fishing in the desert.

To survive in the wasteland, one must have exceptional hunting abilities. We had previously overlooked this difference, since cultivators can consume the sun and moon and absorb spiritual energy, thus eliminating their need for food.

This led him to subconsciously think that wild beasts might not need to eat either.

However, there is no spiritual energy here, and the essence of the sun and moon is pitifully scarce. It's not that it's impossible for the essence to fall here, but rather that it's blocked by these sandstorm environments.

Wild beasts cultivate their bloodlines and physiques, so their need for food must be enormous. There must be a type of food creature that exists on a large scale in the wasteland.

Rumble————

Just as I was thinking about it, the target appeared.

They were several insects, each several tens of feet long, with yellowish-brown skin and tire-like rings, resembling the larval form of beetles.

Its head has no eyes, only a mouth with swirling, jagged teeth, layered upon layered, and its saliva secretion is exceptionally profuse.

Surrounding that large mouth was a thick ring of light gray sideburns.

This is a legend about a creature that looks remarkably like the Mongolian Death Worm.

They also have a name in this desolate region—the sand worm.

They reproduce very quickly, are omnivorous wild beasts that mainly feed on carrion and sand. They have the ability of a camel to store massive amounts of energy, and their meat is tender and delicious, making them one of the most widespread basic foods in this area.

Wild beast cubs mainly grow by eating sandworms.

Gu Qing had seen written descriptions of this in ancient books, but seeing it with his own eyes was another matter entirely. Could this thing really taste good?

While waiting, four sandworms appeared, perhaps even from the same nest.

They had devoured the two-headed lion completely.

Seeing this, Gu Qing pulled the Crimson Cloud Tower, four chains hooked onto the corners of their mouths, and the other five were tied up like ropes, tightly binding them so they couldn't move.

Under the radiant light of the Crimson Sky, the four sandworms rapidly shrank and were imprisoned in the tower.

Compared to demon corpses, these live sandworms are more suitable as bait.

They changed their location.

Continuing with the Crimson Sky Tower as the pole, the Nine Forbidden Locks as the hook, and the giant sandworm as bait, they threw it into the sea of ​​sand.

The mindless worm immediately began to struggle frantically, stirring up waves of sand like ocean waves, yet it could not leave this area.

"Make money, the more you make money, the bigger the commotion will be."

Sitting on a stone pillar, Gu Qing rested his cheek on his left hand and held the Crimson Sky Pagoda in his right, waiting quietly.

He really does look like an old fisherman.

Perhaps because we hadn't gone deep enough, there were relatively few wild beasts. After waiting for nearly an hour, the sandworms were exhausted.

Gu Qingcai suddenly stood up.

coming!

In the scene perceived by divine sense, a creature resembling a lizard but with shark fins on its back was rapidly approaching from underground. Its movements were like a fish swimming in the ocean by wagging its tail. It was the same, swimming in the sea of ​​sand by wagging its tail.

This is a Shark Lizard Beast, a type of lower-level wild beast.

The human cultivator's strength was equivalent to an eighth-grade cultivator, and he himself was a low-level wild beast. After observing him clearly, Gu Qing felt bored.

too weak.

As the shark-lizard beast took the bait, the sandworm also entered its belly. Just as Gu Qing was about to pull the lever, a giant creature nearly fifty feet long suddenly leaped up from the ground.

Not only did it swallow the Shark Lizard whole, it also leaped off the ground like a whale emerging from the sea, a truly awe-inspiring sight.

Gu Qing's eyes widened, and she immediately took action.

The Intermediate Wild Beast, Hidden Scale Devouring Dragon, is analogous to a seventh-grade human cultivator. Although its name contains the word "dragon," it can only be considered a creature with dragon blood, and it is still a long way from being a dragon-type wild beast.

The hidden scales on its body are excellent materials for refining weapons.

Those who can perfectly blend into their surroundings and remain undetected by divine sense or other powers are born assassins.

Gu Qing had long wanted to refine the Heavenly Shuttle Robe. With the seven-colored silk as the main material, he still needed other equipment to assist him, and the Hidden Scale was the perfect choice.

"Come!"

With a low growl, Gu Qing's body swelled up, transforming into a dragon-human form, and he grabbed the chains and yanked them hard.

They forcefully pulled the Hidden Scale Swallowing Sand Dragon, which had been submerged in the sand sea, out of the water. With the force of the burst, it actually began to slam and thrash about.

Swallow Salon was dizzy from the fall.

Golden lightning suddenly struck down, accompanied by a shrill scream. A blood-red light emerged from between Gu Qing's brows, and his Heavenly Spirit Body transformed into a demon-slaying sword that rapidly grew larger.

To deal with giant beasts, one naturally needs to use giant weapons.

In the blink of an eye, the Demon-Slaying Sword swelled into a giant sword eighteen feet long and slashed down fiercely. The Demon-Slaying Technique within it was as smooth as its ability to deal with wild beasts and demons, and its scales could not help it resist this attack.

He was completely killed in just a few moves.

Gu Qing activated the Void Ring to store it away and quickly left the area to avoid attracting a superior wild beast due to the commotion. That thing was as strong as a sixth-grade cultivator and was beyond his ability to deal with.

We still need to proceed with caution.

In an unknown underground location, Gu Qing released his personal cave, Qingyun Tower, to hide and began to deal with the corpse of the wild beast.

Legend has it that the wild beasts possess three treasures: blood, bones, and wonders.

Blood is essence blood. When combined with the right spiritual medicine, it becomes a holy product for increasing qi and blood and essence. Not only is the effect amazing, but the medicinal properties are also mild enough.

Even ninth-rank cultivators can use it to build a strong foundation of qi and blood. It is also an excellent choice for breaking through the bottleneck of body refining. In the cultivation world, it is called the "Desolate Blood Sacred Medicine" with varying grades.

The bones are precious bones. Due to their intellectual deficiencies, wild beasts only have primitive instincts before becoming pure-blooded beings. They are as stupid as ordinary beasts and have no way to use the simplified techniques and supernatural powers derived from the laws of heaven.

Therefore, those who follow the path of body refinement possess precious bones, which are also their foundation for carrying the Dao. They can be driven by instinct, and cultivators who obtain them can naturally comprehend precious techniques from them.
