Becoming a God by Searching Mountains and Subduing Demons

Chapter 219: The world is peaceful, so why worry about the overwhelming karma above

【Time + 20 years】

【Time + 20 years】

【time…】

He easily seized a wolf's den. During the whole process, Jiang Yue didn't even have to take any action. Xiaotian and Xuntian cooperated with each other to eliminate the whole den of wolf monsters.

At present, the evolution speed of the pet beast is not as fast as Jiang Yue’s own improvement. Therefore, most of the time, he no longer needs the cooperation of the two beasts and pays more attention to their functionality.

After all, just as demons have long lifespans but grow slower than humans, the improvement of pets is also a long process that requires accumulation.

However, if there is enough flesh and blood of the monsters, this process can be greatly accelerated. At present, the two beasts are still in their infancy after their bloodline evolution. If they grow to adulthood, their combat power will soar.

Who knows, he might even be able to comprehend one or two magical powers. Thinking of the howling dog in the myth that can be used like a magic weapon, Jiang Yue couldn't help but feel envious.

"Eat."

The corpses of these wolf monsters were not of high value, so Jiang Yue patted the white dragon horse and the three beasts divided and ate them, turning them into blood and flesh essence that accumulated.

"After the wolf demon, there is the tree spirit..."

The map of the crow flock appeared in Jiang Yue's mind. He looked forward and continued moving forward.

For some reason, he always had a strange feeling since he set foot in Lizhou.

The demons here...

Will there be less?

This pack of wolf monsters only consists of three or five individuals, and they pose no threat to human settlements.

Judging from the color of the markings, the tree spirit should not be too strong. At most, it has some special abilities, which is obviously not a threat.

A journey of a hundred miles, and there are only a few cats and kittens?
Not sure if the map was marked incorrectly or the map provided by the other party was incomplete, Jiang Yue had no choice but to continue exploring carefully along the way.

The tree spirit was not far away, only about twenty or thirty miles away. Although it was a mountain road, it would only take Jiang Yue a moment to reach it.

Now that I am not in Black Mountain, I can use the communication via the Sky Patrol Token. Although I don't expect to contact the Sky Patrol Sect, if there is any situation from Miao Xingyu, I can report it to me immediately. There is no need to worry about being unable to communicate due to the long distance.

"Tree Spirit..."

The continuous mountain range ends here in summer, and what comes into view is a lush forest with layers of luxuriant branches and leaves that cover the sky and block out the sun.

Jiang Yue stepped into it, holding a three-pointed, double-edged knife, and from time to time he would chop away a branch or bush that blocked the way. The towering trees were like giants, greatly affecting the line of sight.

"Forget it, it's too troublesome to open the road."

Seeing many obstacles ahead, Jiang Yue stepped up along a giant tree and reached the treetop in a few flashes.

But although Xiaotian was fast, he did not have the ability to climb. He just called out twice at the bottom of the tree, looking a little aggrieved.

"Xuntian, it's up to you."

Jiang Yue couldn't help but burst out laughing. Xiaotian was already huge in size now, and was usually very calm. It was unexpected that he would get anxious sometimes.

Xuntian spread his wings and grabbed Xiaotian Dog's body. Although its weight affected the speed a little, it was still relatively easy to soar into the treetops.

After squatting on the tree trunk, Xiaotian looked around and cried twice, as if he was envious of the ability to fly.

"Don't worry. Even though we can't fly, we still have other abilities."

Seeing this, Jiang Yue smiled, stretched out his hand and gently stroked the dog's head, constantly comforting it.

"It has wings for flying, and you have a nose for finding treasures. You are both great."

Although he could only roughly understand it, Xiaotian enjoyed it very much. His pair of dog eyes became bright and he raised his head and barked twice, then lowered his head and sniffed hard.

Xiaotian twitched his nose a few times, quickly locked onto a direction, and indicated the general situation there.

"Good dog!"

"The branches and leaves of these giant trees in the forest are connected. Be careful not to step on empty space. Let's go."

After taking the opportunity to praise him, Jiang Yue leaped up and stood firmly on a twig.

After a few dodgers, he had become completely accustomed to galloping through the woods, without slowing down at all.

In just a short time, Jiang Yue saw what he was looking for.

The seemingly endless dense forest before my eyes no longer reappeared. Instead, a circular black soil suddenly appeared, with only a short tree in the center and a small lake beside it.

Looking closely, the overall shape of the dwarf tree is twisted, with branches and trunks entangled like countless earthworms entangled with each other. Its trunk is not straight, but has irregular ridges and bends.

The biggest difference between it and ordinary giant trees is that its roots are completely exposed on the soil instead of being fixed in it. The roots are like flesh whiskers, constantly extending around the trunk.

"The walking meat tree!"

After seeing the scene in front of him, Jiang Yue immediately recognized what this strange plant was. Although he had never seen it with his own eyes before, there were records of it in the Sky Patrol Department.

To say it is a tree spirit is not entirely clear.

The Walking Meat Tree itself has no intelligence and only relies on instinct to act. Strange flesh is hung on twigs hanging from its branches, which it uses to lure wild animals in the mountains.

It can be said that this plant is more like a dormant beast, waiting for its prey to come, trap it, and then refine it into a part of itself.

If there are not many prey nearby, its tentacles will completely rise from the ground and change direction.

"The walking tree is extremely difficult to find due to its mobile nature. It seems that the map is indeed updated dynamically..."

"What on earth does the person who claims to be the Sky Patrol Guardian want to do?"

The doubts in my mind lingered for a long time, but now was not the time to think about it.

If you see this precious tree, you will gain a lot.

The strength of the Walking Flesh Tree is not strong, at most it is equivalent to the fourth realm. Any higher level will be helpless against it, and even if it is trapped, it will have to be let go.

But his accumulation is a treasure to many demons and monks!
The strange flesh and blood that absorbed countless flesh and blood, condensed it, and then used to lure prey are all essence.

And with Jiang Yue's strength...

You can choose any of them!
"Xiaotian, Xuntian, Baijiaoma."

"let's go!"

The three beasts beside him had been coveting it for a long time, and after receiving Jiang Yue's order, they almost ran away immediately.

Xiaotian was seen flying out like a streak of light, heading straight for the hanging thin branch. In an instant he was close to it, then he leaped up, shook his head and bit off a piece of flesh.

[Blood Essence +100]

Xuntian was no less eager, he leaned against a branch and kept carving the flesh.

[Blood Essence +150]

[Blood Essence +120]

【Blood and flesh essence...】

In just a few moments, thousands of essences were gained!

The thin branches were densely packed, and every time flesh and blood was taken away, one branch would be taken back, but now there are still hundreds of branches left. "This must be tens of thousands of flesh and blood essences."

"I don't know how many years this walking flesh tree has been accumulating wealth, but now I have taken advantage of it."

"The rare treasures and spiritual plants in the mountains are truly miraculous."

Jiang Yue was delighted and couldn't help but sigh.

After losing a lot of flesh and blood, the walking tree not only did not fight back, but instead kept retracting its tentacle-like branches and did not extend them towards the three beasts.

This is its way of survival.

If it encounters a weaker demon or beast, it will be trapped and devoured. But if it encounters a strong enemy, it will give up these accumulations in order to survive. Anyway, its vitality is extremely strong, and it can survive as long as some roots are left.

Obviously, in its few intelligent minds, Jiang Yue is definitely an existence that it cannot afford to offend, and it can only let it devour him.

Finding this precious tree is a very low-risk and highly profitable endeavor, but getting it nowadays depends entirely on luck.

Just as the three beasts were eating happily, a voice suddenly came from afar.

"Who is here to steal my precious tree?"

The voice was already a little weak when it came over, and seemed to carry some anger.

Jiang Yue quickly locked onto his position, but could not see any human figure from a distance, so he had to order Xuntian to stop and take off to investigate.

Does this walking flesh tree have an owner?
It should be unlikely. At least according to the records of the Yunzhou Sky Patrol, there is no method to raise it. The first reason is that it is too rare and it is almost impossible to find one. The second reason is that the walking flesh tree must be constantly changed in order to have a steady supply of targets. Not only is it extremely difficult to provide this condition through artificial breeding, it may not guarantee its survival.

From what the other party said, it seems that this walking flesh tree belongs to his family. Could it be that Lizhou has mastered the method of raising it?
Thinking about the markings on the map, this should be a tree-like monster, but it was not clearly marked what it was. Jiang Yue did not rule out the possibility that the Xuntian Sect intentionally lured him here.

But the figure quickly walked through the forest and came to the land around the walking tree. It was a middle-aged man with a distressed expression on his face.

"This tree has an owner, how dare you, little thief!"

The man didn't say much. He pulled out a short knife from his waist and combined it with the long stick in his hand to form a machete that looked very intimidating.

But this behavior made Jiang Yue feel a little confused.

Judging from the posture, the other party doesn't look like a strong person...

Sure enough, when the middle-aged man finally stimulated his blood and energy, Jiang Yue simply pulled the bowstring, and a stream of arrows flew through the air near his ear, instantly making the scene quiet.

"Does this tree have an owner?"

"Don't dare, don't dare..."

The man was only at the second level and had never seen such a scene before. His knees immediately went weak and he almost ran away.

But Jiang Yue was not a robber, so he just suppressed his impulse, put down the Ming Wang bow and asked, "Why are you afraid? If the tree is really yours, I will compensate you according to the price."

"But you are only at the second level, how can you raise a precious tree? If you want to blackmail me, you'd better give up the idea."

As soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged man broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly explained, "I have lived in the mountains for a long time, so I am not the owner of this precious tree, but my family has contributed to its support. So when I saw you taking its essence, I was impulsive. I hope you can forgive me."

"You may take it yourself, sir, but please leave a chance for my family to survive. If the precious tree moves, there will be no hope for my family."

Jiang Yue frowned as he listened to the other party's explanation. He keenly noticed something wrong with his words and asked, "Provision?"

"You are at least a second-level warrior, so how can you say you have no way to survive?"

Seeing Jiang Yue speak again, the man was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "It's just some small tricks..."

"Your Excellency, you don't know that the hunting tax is as fierce as a tiger... Although I am a warrior, the world is peaceful now, where can I use my martial arts? I can only end up here as a mountain dweller, barely supporting my family."

Peace in the world?

Peace in the world?!
Jiang Yue drew his bow and aimed his arrow again, "You are a liar, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Where does peace come from?

What's more, once a warrior enters the country, he can gain a foothold in one county, so why should he worry about his livelihood in the second territory?
But through the induction of the divine eyes between the eyebrows, I can tell that the other party is not lying and is truly sincere.

Of course, even if he is telling the truth, it is only the truth in his cognition, and there may be other reasons that lead to different cognition.

"Sir, spare your life!"

The middle-aged man saw the arrow's power building up, and he exclaimed in surprise, and said quickly: "Every word I said is true. If you want to hear the details, I will tell you in detail!"

"Nowadays, the world is indeed peaceful. In the area controlled by the Patrol Heaven Sect, there are no more demons and monsters causing chaos. The aristocratic families of the past are gone, and there are fewer and fewer places that need us."

"What I have learned is really useless, so I have no choice but to fight for my life here with a group of brothers."

"The walking flesh tree does not belong to us, but we often feed it with infants. I hope you will spare my life for this..."

It’s the truth again.

Jiang Yue loosened his fingers, and the arrow shot out like a meteor, completely piercing the middle-aged man's head.

He got the general idea.

That Wushengmu Sect...actually has the power to exorcise demons.

Kill demons and monsters, take control of the state... the ambition is not small.

However, it is difficult for Jiang Yue to judge whether this situation is good or bad at the moment.

The Birthless Mother Cult was originally an extremely terrifying force with extremely high prestige among the people. After jointly supervising the Cult with the Sky Patrol Department, the overall people's livelihood has actually improved.

At least along the way Jiang Yue came, the number of monsters was indeed not large. The wolf monster seemed to have not reproduced for long, and the walking flesh tree did not pose much threat to humans.

In fact, if it is really according to the markings on the map, there are no monsters around the city where a large number of humans gather.

The brothers the man in front of me was talking about were probably thinking of becoming bandits because their livelihood had improved and they were not earning as much as before. It was indeed to support their families, but their methods...

In any case, he used the baby as a sacrifice to pick the meat from the tree, which was a crime worthy of death. Jiang Yue did not waste time talking to him and killed him with one arrow.

"The Sky Patrol Cult seems to be unaware of the matter of the walking flesh tree."

"Or maybe... this was deliberately arranged for us to see?"

"Does he want to prove his governance ability, or tell us how terrifying his control is, and use it as a threat?"

Not knowing what the other party’s specific arrangements were, Jiang Yue could only take things one step at a time.

After all the essence is removed from it, the walking flesh tree will curl up into a ball, with its tentacles taking deep roots, and it will quickly run away after people leave.

After doing all this, he did not return the same way, but continued to move forward.

Jiang Yue did not forget that this middle-aged man still has brothers.

You can ask them about the situation later, and make a judgment after confirming it multiple times.

However, they are a group of mountain people after all. If they want to know more about Lizhou, they may have to go through the densely populated village.

After putting away the Mingwang Bow, Jiang Yue became somewhat excited about the village ahead.

He wanted to see what peace in the world meant.
