My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 734: Water Ape Sage
"What are your options next?"

"Will you choose to explore the map obtained from Blood Lady first? Or will you choose to explore the map obtained from the corpse of the river worker first?"

He now has two maps of the ancient Yellow River Road in his hand. He can explore either one first. It is just a matter of time.

"You chose to explore the ancient road ruins on the animal skin map first."

This map was obtained from the Blood Lady. You need to look down from a high altitude to find the entrance on the map. From this unique form, perhaps there will be some new discoveries.

"You followed the markings on the map and came to the abandoned Yellow River Ancient Road, then took out the Ten Thousand Beasts Box you obtained from Taoist Master Shen Ji Bai Lian."

"Do you want to activate the power of the Box of All Beasts?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes without hesitation.

"You activated the Beast Box in your hand. The seemingly ordinary box disintegrated instantly, and the mechanical parts reassembled in the blink of an eye, turning into a falcon mechanical beast, spreading its wings and flying high into the sky."

"Moreover, you discovered that the vision of this falcon robot can also be synchronously transmitted to your mind, so you can overlook all the scenes below without flying in the clouds."

When Jiang Xinghuo saw the description in the game text, he thought that this was indeed a drone, but it had no attack capability. He also didn't know if it could be equipped with Hun Tian Lei or Pili Bombs. If it could, it could attack the enemy's hiding place from a distance, which would be much better than going there directly.

"You control the falcon mechanical beasts formed by the Ten Thousand Beasts Box to fly into the air, and according to the traces on the animal skin map, you look down from a high altitude and quickly find the place that matches the marked point on the map."

"Do you want to go and look for it right away?"

"This old Yellow River course has been abandoned for too long, and the sand on both sides has accumulated into valleys. There is only a small, rugged path leading forward. However, this is the favorite place for gold diggers, because there are countless treasures buried under the cracked loess, and these gold diggers can often get great gains here."

"You walked along the path and saw many gold diggers. Some of them ignored you, some looked at you with disdain, and some did not hide their murderous intent at all. Since ancient times, people in the same industry have been enemies, so the gold diggers here hate each other very much, because one more person means one less harvest. Even if there is no extra person, the harvest may not be his. But human nature is like this. They all think that if you hadn't got that thing, it might have been mine."

"Moreover, you can see many rotten bones piled up on the ancient road. They are all the losers after the gold diggers fought each other. They were not as skilled as others, so they had no choice but to die here."

"You have triggered the Qilin Blessing."

"Suddenly, you feel a bad wind behind your head, as if someone is attacking you. When you look back, it is a gold digger holding a hoe. He attacks you mercilessly, and the heavy and sharp hoe is heading for your head."

"However, the strength of this gold digger is just so-so, because gold diggers are not good at fighting. They are best at finding treasures buried under the loess. They are quite similar to the treasure hunters in Kanto."

"You summoned the bull-headed evil spirit from the cave, and with just a wave of your hand, you smashed the gold digger into a pulp. The hoe in its hand fell to the ground, and the treasures it found also became your spoils of war."

"Although other gold diggers covet these things, the bull-headed evil god with twisted muscles is so oppressive that they dare not come to join in the fun. They can only watch you take those things for yourself."

"Besides, there are clear levels among these gold diggers. The stronger and more experienced the gold diggers are, the better the positions they occupy. This is the case with the gold digger who died in your hands. The position he occupied can be said to be the deepest part of the ancient road, and the position where he can find the most good things is also there."

"Even it died in your hands. How dare other gold diggers continue to attack you?"

"You counted the things you found and found that you did get quite a bit. Although the material value is not high, the historical value and practical value are quite high."

"You have obtained: a golden hoe (excellent), a secret book of treasure hunting (excellent), a mirror combining three lights (excellent), a ring of the Yellow River Lord (ordinary), a broken iron rod (junk), a blurred and broken seal button with the word 'Misfortune' on it (junk), a python needle from the immortal who could bring back the dead (excellent), a dried-up Yellow Spring water eye (ordinary), and a dried corpse of a water monkey (excellent)."

"Golden hoe (excellent item), a tool used by gold diggers to dig through the soil. It is forged from gold sand fused with magnets. It has the ability to absorb gold ore, which can help gold diggers find the location of gold ore more conveniently during the operation. It is also a weapon and item used by gold diggers to fight against enemies."

"The Secret Book of Treasure Exploration (Excellent Tool) is a method passed down from the Feng Shui dragon-hunting school, and later modified by the gold-mining school, forming a unique technique for the gold-mining school. It can detect the treasure energy under the soil with the naked eye, but it is limited to wealth such as gold and pearls."

"Do you want to use the treasure exploration secret book?"

"You have used the secret book of treasure exploration."

"Learning, please wait..."

"You have successfully mastered the art of treasure hunting."

"Your treasure-hunting eye sensed the aura of the treasure-hunting technique and automatically absorbed it and merged it into your body. The level of your treasure-hunting eye is temporarily increased by +1."

Jiang Xinghuo felt a coolness rising in his eyes, but the coolness quickly disappeared.

"Three-light-in-one mirror (excellent item), an enhanced version of the treasure-hunting technique. Through the superposition of three color filters with different spectrums, it can observe treasure auras that are imperceptible to the naked eye, thereby discovering treasures buried under the loess."

"Yellow River Lord's Ring (Ordinary Item), a ring that Yellow River Lord once wore, but it doesn't have any magical features. Maybe it had some magical features at first, but as time went by, it was completely worn away in history. Now it's just an ordinary ring, not a precious thing."

"Do you want to equip this ring?"

When Jiang Xinghuo saw the description in the game text, he chose yes without much hesitation and equipped himself with the ring.

"You have been equipped with the ring of Master Huang He."

Continue counting. "A broken iron rod (a scrap prop). A twisted iron rod. Although the material is good, it is made of meteorite iron, but the molecular structure of the internal force has long been destroyed. It has no value for reuse. However, for collectors with special hobbies, this kind of broken beauty is often their favorite thing. They will pay a price far exceeding the original value of this thing. It is commonly known as a sucker."

Tsk, the game text is still so foul-mouthed, treating everyone equally regardless of their status.

"A blurred and broken seal button with the word 'woe' (waste material), a fist-sized seal with the word 'woe' engraved on the bottom. It is unknown what it symbolizes, but it is also sought after by some special collectors."

Jiang Xinghuo instinctively felt that there was something wrong with these two things, but because his Tathagatagarbha was temporarily unusable, he could not see the true appearance of these two things. However, Jiang Xinghuo did not treat them as waste, but put them in the magic bag and planned to deal with them later.

Finally, there are three things left.

"The python needle of the Immortal of Miraculous Hands (excellent item), left by the Immortal of Miraculous Hands who is proficient in medicine. It is about four feet long, made of fine steel mixed with black iron, and forged through thousands of hammering. Although it is as thick as a thumb, it is extremely flexible. There is a buckle on it, so it can be tied to the waist and used as a soft weapon. Killing and saving people are all in a thought."

"Dried-up Yellow Spring (Ordinary Material). When the Yellow River changed its course, the underground water veins and tributaries also changed. This spring lacked the nourishment of water vapor and lost its spirituality over time. Finally, only a dried-up spring was left. It can be used as a raw material for forging weapons. If it is placed in a place with sufficient spiritual energy, there may be a chance to reawaken this spring."

Jiang Xinghuo was thinking about the character and whether to place it into the magic space, when he suddenly heard a dragon roar in his ear. Yunlong's huge head quietly appeared beside him, making a slight low humming sound from his mouth.

Jiang Xinghuo immediately understood what the other party meant. Yunlong wanted this dried-up Yellow River water source.

His own child finally asked for something on his own initiative, so Jiang Xinghuo naturally couldn't refuse, and immediately took out the Yellow Spring Water Eye from the game and gave it to Yunlong.

Yunlong let out a soft groan, rubbed Jiang Xinghuo's shoulder, opened his mouth and swallowed the spring into his stomach, then disappeared without a trace again.

Although he didn't know what Yunlong wanted to do, there was no point in keeping this thing, so it would be better to give it to Yunlong and let him do whatever he wanted with it.

"The dried corpse of the water monkey (excellent material). After the Yellow River changed its course, a large number of water monkeys lost their habitat and died on the ancient Yellow River Road. They were then buried underground by the loess and turned into dried corpses. They are an essential material for forging a special elixir."

"At the same time, if we use the method of refining a little ghost or a Kumantong to refine the dried corpse of the water monkey into those ominous things, we can also give others some of the abilities of the water monkey."

"For example, the ability to breathe freely underwater, have immense strength, and be able to walk and move freely."

At this point, all the items have been counted. After all, he is a high-level gold digger and the things he found are all good.

Jiang Xinghuo packed up and continued on his way.

"You have come to the location marked on the map, but what appears in front of you is a mountain. This is the mountain formed by the Yellow River Lord when he frequently used the method of moving mountains and shaking the earth to move the earth's crust when he was managing the Yellow River. The marked point on the map is inside this mountain."

"You tried to use the Nine Deaths Cicada to make your body virtual and wanted to enter the mountain, but this mountain seemed to contain some kind of power, and your Nine Deaths Cicada didn't have the slightest effect."

"Moreover, you sensed a familiar aura on top of this mountain. That is the power that belongs exclusively to the Six Heavenly Ghosts. However, upon closer inspection, it is slightly different. It is less ferocious than the Six Heavenly Ghosts, and has a subtle divinity."

"At this time, you found a long groove mark in an inconspicuous corner of the mountain wall. The length and thickness of the groove mark are exactly the same as the iron rod you just obtained. Do you want to put the iron rod into it to try it out?"

Ok?
What is the purpose of that iron rod?

With the idea of ​​giving it a try, Jiang Xinghuo found the iron rod and clicked to use it.

"You placed the iron rod in the groove on the mountain wall. A dazzling light flashed by. The tattered iron rod was repaired and looked brand new. Patterns flowed on it, and water vapor was lingering. The whole rod was dark blue, as if it was a rod formed by the confluence of water."

"You have obtained the Water God Soldier."

"Water God Weapon (epic item), the personal weapon of the ancient water ape great sage, forged and condensed with the essence of the world's water veins, possesses the power of the five lakes and four seas, three rivers and eight rivers, and can split mountains and crack the earth with ease. It also suppresses the power of water-attributed monsters by 30% to 50%. The more powerful the monsters, the stronger the suppression, and their strength can be weakened by up to half."

"Note that this attribute is only based on the user's cultivation. If the target's cultivation is far higher than the user's, then this attribute will not be triggered. Only when the gap is not big can the Water God Soldier play a role in turning the tide of the battle."

Jiang Xinghuo controlled the character to go over and put away the Water God Soldier. Judging from the description and description in the game text, the Water God Soldier was the weapon of the ancient Water Ape Sage, so the creature trapped here should be the Water Ape Sage.

"At the same time, a door appeared on the mountain wall where there was no passage. You can vaguely hear the sound of water waves coming from behind. Do you want to go in and find out?"

Jiang Xinghuo took a deep breath, chose yes, and controlled the character to walk through the door.

"You entered the heart of the mountain. The dark corridor was extremely humid. The moisture was so dense that it was terrifying. The sound of waves became clearer and clearer. Finally, you reached the end of the corridor, and a terrifying and powerful creature suddenly appeared in your eyes."

"You see a bottomless abyss ahead, with a large number of iron chains extending from all sides, flashing a dazzling golden light, locking a majestic white ape above the abyss."

"The aura of the six heavenly gods that you sensed was emitted from this white ape, but there was no trace of tyranny or cruelty on it. It only gave you a feeling of holiness and majesty."

"At this time, you looked around and found some lines emitting golden light on the cliff next to you. When you looked carefully, you found that they were simple murals outlined with golden threads."

"You carefully examined the murals on the cliff and learned what had happened here..."
