Mythical Scroll Artist: Starting with the God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming

Chapter 136 Insect-Type Evil God
Not only the Pokémon Club, but other factions also received the news immediately.

Many families have even begun to join forces to hunt down this lord-level monster.

After all, monsters of this level are quite valuable.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Wu Xian had easily dealt with the elite monsters that had caught up with him, and found another mineral vein in another fusion zone.

After some digging, Pillar Bro confirmed that it was the most common Zerg carbon vein in the Zerg dimension.

Laurel trees are definitely useless to him, and carbonaceous ore is of no use to him either.

However, some rare ores scattered within the vein are somewhat valuable.

He then manipulated Pillar Brother to dig a complex mine tunnel and loot all the rare ores in the vein.

"Tsk, Brother Zhu is still too inefficient."

Strictly speaking, Brother Zhu's "mining" skills are already quite excellent.

But it's only suitable for mine owners from all walks of life.

For a picky "super mining enthusiast" like him, it was clearly not enough.

We need to find a more skilled and professional player later.

After looting the rare ores from the vein, it was already late. Returning to the plant-type fusion zone, while continuing to search for rare plant-type materials, they discovered a fierce, large-scale battle taking place near the spirit crystal vein they had previously visited.

It's likely that various forces in Yaoyang City have made their move.

After all, a fusion-type lord-level monster is still very valuable.

Wu Xian was too lazy to join in the fun, and quietly led the two Star Lords, Winged Fire Serpent and Chariot Water Worm, through various parts of the plant fusion area.

Now, he has trained both star lords to the fourth star, one water and one fire, and their combat power is still very strong.

"Holy crap, what the hell is this?"

Suddenly, a patch of grass below transformed into a swarm of strange insects that surrounded him completely.

"Cordyceps sinensis, right?"

The insect monsters flying around in front of them were not very big. The lower half of them were small flying insects, while the upper half resembled a strange weed. They were just ordinary monsters of level seven or eight, but their sheer number and ability to fly made them formidable.

It's still terrifying when they swarm and bite in droves.

Judging from the mountain of monster remains below, it's likely that many monsters perished at the hands of these "little flying insects."

Wu Xian was surrounded by an aura of wealth and treasures, yet he remained completely calm.

Winged Star Lord spread his fiery wings, and poisonous flames burned across the sky, while Zhen Water Lord transformed into countless earthworm-like streams of water, weaving through the swarm of insects.

As water and fire mingled, countless tiny flying insects scattered across the ground.

"You know what, it actually contains quite a few spiritual substances suitable for medicinal use."

He picked up the dead insects, examined them, and silently put all the dead insects on the ground into his Qiankun bag.

Unfortunately, after a subsequent search, no trace of rare plant-based materials was found.

Has someone already beaten them to it?

It's important to know that such a large dimensional fusion zone must contain many rare plant-based materials.

He not only has two skilled detectives, the Day and Night Rangers, but also a super-strong sense of wealth, the [Wealth and Treasure] skill.

If you can't find it, it just means someone else has already beaten you to it.

The battle with the lord-level monster was still ongoing, and Wu Xian didn't bother to pay attention to it.

When we evacuated and returned to the North Street area, it was already past midnight, just as dawn was breaking.

This night was very fruitful, especially the upgrade of the [Laurel Tree].

Wu Xian tried cultivating under the blessing of the laurel tree, and the profound connection with the laws of heaven and earth deeply immersed him in it.

Jingle Bell!
The ringing of his phone woke Wu Xian from his cultivation. Seeing that it was a call from a motorcycle taxi driver, Wu Xian knew that he had obtained the rare ores he wanted.

Not long after, the motorcycle driver appeared in the small villa with a cheerful smile, picked up the tea and drank it all in one gulp. "Burp—this trip really exhausted me. I drove through three cities, but I managed to live up to expectations."

As he spoke, he took out several pieces of precious and rare minerals.

"Thank you for your hard work, brother."

Wu Xian happily put away the few precious minerals and paid the motorcycle driver his due reward.

"Don't be so polite with me," the motorcycle driver waved his hand and smiled. Now that he had the Yin Shuai family bucket in hand, he was considered a top-notch big shot in the industry. "However, when I came back, I heard that something happened in the Zerg dimension. Various families and forces suffered heavy losses, and even the Zerg dimension gate was temporarily closed."

Wu Xian was surprised and stunned.

Could it be because of that lord-level monster? That shouldn't be the case.
"what reason?"

"I don't know~" The motorcycle driver looked bewildered but also a little worried. "I hope it's not another dimensional mirage. There were enough deaths from the last dimensional mirage."

After seeing the motorcycle taxi driver off, Wu Xian immediately contacted his mentor, Xue Lingling.

Wu Xian was shocked upon learning the situation.

"What? A malevolent scroll painter has been discovered in that large dimensional fusion zone!"

According to Xue Lingling's description, when all parties were besieging the lord-level monster, they vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

Just when they were about to defeat the lord-level monster, an incredibly powerful insect-type evil scroll suddenly appeared, snatched the lord-level monster, and severely injured or killed many spirit masters present.

"That's right, and it's very likely that he's a wicked scroll painter who has been on the run for many years and is listed on the blacklist!"

"Someone on the bounty list?" Wu Xian exclaimed in surprise. "What's their background?"

"Five years ago, a wicked scroll painter appeared in Wanrong City, causing a bloodbath. After the association and various martial arts schools joined forces to hunt him down, he fled and disappeared. I never expected that he would be hiding around our Yaoyang City all this time." Xue Lingling's voice was tinged with solemnity and apprehension.

"Is it strong?"

"To be able to escape from the combined forces of all parties is certainly no simple feat," Xue Lingling said solemnly. "Moreover, he was just starting out back then, and now, five years later, his strength is only more terrifying than it was back then."

Wu Xian clicked his tongue in surprise, but couldn't help feeling a little scared afterward.

I explored that dimensional fusion zone for so long, yet I couldn't detect the other party's presence at all, nor was I being targeted by them.

One can only say that the God of Wealth is blessing me; I do have some "good luck" on me.
“Speaking of which, your [House-Protecting Chicken King] has done a great job this time,” Xue Lingling continued. “If the Chicken King Cavalry Battalion from the military hadn’t arrived in time and a group of Chicken Kings hadn’t repelled the evil insect scroll, the losses for all sides would have been even greater.”

"is it?"

Wu Xian feigned surprise, but inwardly he was not.

As Xue Lingling just mentioned, this wanted criminal plays with insect-type evil gods, so he is somewhat wary of painting spirits like the "Chicken God," let alone a whole swarm of "House-Protecting Chicken Kings."

However, this reminded him that he needed to bring out [Mao Ri Xing Jun] as soon as possible.

Subaru's dominance over Bug-type Pokémon is far superior to that of the "King of the House".

Having the Pleiades Chicken in hand makes me feel much more at ease.

Since we're going to do it, we should naturally try our best to make a silver version.

Previously, the reason why the Silver Axis could be made was because the King-level Zerg skeleton was a perfect fit.

These days, finding high-end ingredients suitable for Pleiades chickens is really not easy.

After thinking it over, Wu Xian went to the association.

Currently, only the association has the potential to help him find suitable materials in a short period of time.

However, at this moment, the association was immersed in a solemn atmosphere of high alert due to the appearance of that evil scroll painter.

President Cui Wenxuan had no choice but to personally step in and take charge of the overall situation, with all departments within the association working busily.

"Little grand-disciple? You've come at the perfect time," Cui Wenxuan greeted Wu Xian immediately upon seeing him. "Your [King of House-Protecting Chickens] has a certain deterrent effect on those evil insects, and the association is preparing to purchase a batch."
