Chen Yi and Li Chu each rode an Iron-Eating Beast at the front.
Iron-Eating Beasts were the most common ferocious beasts in the Western Continent. They were fast and large, earning them the nickname of 'Bloody Path' on the battlefield.
Behind the Iron-Eating Beasts were eight wolf riders, which were the mounts of the eight squad leaders.
The remaining hundred or so warriors naturally trotted slowly.
Of course, there were also five large water buffaloes that transported supplies.
The Wanyao Mountain was a small mountain range that spanned more than two hundred kilometers. It was actually not famous in the Western Continent.
As for the name 'Wanyao', it was used in ancient times and had not been changed.
Chen Yi's team was located in the southern part of the Great Dragon Kingdom. The Wanyao Mountain was at the border of the Great Dragon Kingdom and was also under the kingdom's control. However, it was only in name and could not be considered as actual control.
The Wanyao Mountain's terrain was a barrier in the southern part of the Great Dragon Kingdom. Chen Yi's goal was the central area of the Wanyao Mountain, which was also the only way for merchants to avoid paying taxes in the neighboring Baoxiang Kingdom.
Chen Yi and the others walked along the passage for about ten kilometers before they began to walk toward the mountain on the left.
The land in the Wanyao Mountain was very fertile. There were trees that were hundreds of meters tall and a large number of wild animals in the deep forest.
In fact, the path in the deep forest was very easy to walk because the trees here were tall and dense, blocking a large amount of sunlight. As a result, there were basically no weeds or shrubs under the canopy.
However, the leaves below were very thick, about a foot thick. Walking on the leaves might cause them to be bitten by poisonous insects, snakes, and other animals.
Of course, as an exorcist, once Li Chu released his aura, all the poisonous insects and other predators along the way fled far away.
"Leader, do you see that? We are on this mountain. This is our destination. There are cliffs on all sides of this mountain. There is only one dangerous path on our way there. When the time comes, we only need to send a small number of people to resist the attack of thousands of enemies.
Moreover, the top of the mountain is a huge piece of flat land. It won't be a problem for us to cultivate three hundred mu of land on it, "Li Chu said to Chen Yi.
"Everyone, be careful. I can already sense the aura of this mountain spirit," Li Chu instructed everyone.
In fact, without Li Chu's reminder, everyone had already been observing their surroundings. After all, this was the depths of the mountain. It was impossible for there not to be any spirit.
At this time, everyone saw Li Junshi flying in the air. Then he made a strange gesture and a rune that no one could understand shot towards the dense forest.
Hiss
Ang
A deafening sound was transmitted to everyone's ears.
It was a giant python that was as thick as a bucket. It was drenched in blood as it ran towards them.
Such a huge python was no joke. Along the way, stones and trees were smashed into pieces.
"Hmph, evil creature, you dare to hurt people?" Li Chu charged towards the giant python. Boom, a ripple appeared from Li Chu's hand and hit the giant python's head. Immediately, the thirty-meter-long giant python fell to the ground.
Python was The Python was Died.
At this time, everyone also took Li Chu seriously. After all, the strong would be welcomed wherever they went.
. Soon, everyone was was, Da Da Da Da Da da Da. Beast's.
This was spiritual monster meat. Eating it would be very beneficial for ordinary people, so it was no wonder that everyone was so enthusiastic.
Although everyone was afraid of spiritual monsters, and there were even ignorant people who worshipped spiritual monsters, most people knew that spiritual monster meat was a miraculous elixir.
Because they were carrying some supplies, especially mounts, they couldn't reach the top of the mountain at all. They could only set up camp at the foot of the mountain.
After Chen Yi arranged for his men to clear the path up the mountain, he arrived at Li Chu's barracks.
"Advisor, we dug out this inner core from a spiritual monster's body. We knew that you were an Exorcist, so we gave you the inner core to strengthen you," Chen Yi said as he placed the python's inner core on a stone table.
"Thank you for your concern, Leader. However, I feel that you should refine this Giant Python Inner Core yourself. It will greatly increase the strength of our team," Li Chu said.
"I won't hide it from you, Advisor. The fist technique I learned in the military camp is basic fist technique. Being able to cultivate a trace of Qi is already the limit. Even if I absorb the inner core, I won't be much stronger," Chen Yi said as he looked at Li Chu.
Li Chu laughed and said, "The basic fist technique in the military is indeed very bad. However, I have a secret manual here. I found this secret manual in a cave when I was traveling around the world in my early years. If you don't mind, you can take it and cultivate it. You can also spread it to our team at different levels to increase everyone's strength."
"Advisor, you must be joking. No matter how bad this secret manual is, it is still better than the one I learned in the military. Moreover, Advisor said that it will be spread to our team at different levels. It seems that this secret manual is at least Earth-level," Chen Yi said.
"As for what level it is, I don't know. However, it should be about the same level as what you said," Li Chu said.
Chen Yi returned to his barracks and hurriedly opened the secret manual that Advisor had given him. He saw the words "Gene Unlock Method" written on it.
Chen Yi felt that the heavens were helping him. He had no intention of offending anyone and became an outlaw. He thought that his life was over. He did not expect that he would save a powerful exorcist. Now, he even had a secret manual and spiritual monster meat. After everyone ate the spiritual monster meat and cultivated the gene unlock method secret manual, it would be impossible for his team not to grow stronger.
The exorcism secret manuals in this world were divided into three ranks: Heaven, Earth, and Mortal. Each rank was further divided into three ranks: High, Medium, and Low.
However, the secret manuals in the world were all low-grade human-rank secret manuals.
When a low-grade human-rank secret manual was cultivated to the heavens, one could cultivate a trace of Qi and form an army. That army would be invincible on the battlefield.
However, in this world where ranks were fixed, no kingdom would provide good secret manuals for the military to cultivate.
More importantly, cultivating required a lot of money and resources.
Warriors who could cultivate a trace of Qi were basically guarding the safety of the king in the kingdom's capital. Moreover, there were less than two thousand such warriors in each kingdom.
In a flash, three months had passed. The team led by Chen Yi had also taken root in the Wanyao Mountain and opened a passage that had to be passed through to reach the Shang Family.
Then, they built a checkpoint to collect protection fees and an inn that occupied an area of more than a thousand square meters. They provided temporary accommodation for the merchants who came and went. There were mountain delicacies and also products from the mountains that were sold to the merchants.
Building the checkpoint and the inn was a continuous source of income.
In just one month, the protection fee collected by the checkpoint reached 50,000 taels of silver. The inn's profit was much lower, only a little more than 1,000 taels of silver a month.
In fact, these were all small incomes. The main income came from various precious medicinal herbs in the depths of the mountains.
Sometimes, Chen Yi thought, 'What else can I pursue when I'm living such a good life?'
However, Chen Yi immediately extinguished this thought. He did not forget that he was a wanted criminal in the kingdom.
Now that he had money and food, he naturally recruited troops and bought horses to strengthen his strength.
