Chapter 313: No Matter How Bad It Is, Its Only Like This (1/2)

Only people who walked here all year round could remember this route. Every set distance, a Desolate Poison Mushroom would be planted to prevent the local demon beasts from gathering here.

Every poisonous mushroom like this was nurtured by a former human. It was a path that the locals used their lives to pave for their descendants.

In this desert, it was best not to fly.

Coupled with the two methods of the python and poisonous mushrooms and the experienced snake users, they could advance here relatively safely.

In this kind of wasteland, the sky always darkened especially quickly. In the day, all the creatures were disguised on the ground and did not move. At night, it was the prelude to their party.

All kinds of wolf howls and beast roars sounded in the wilderness. Fortunately, they followed those snake people and found a Desolate Poison Mushroom before the sun set.

Staying under the mushroom but not lighting a bonfire, if something approached, as long as they gently touched the mushroom, it could scare away most of the danger.

However, the effects of the poisonous spores were only targeted at external threats. It was helpless against internal dangers.

”Hey, is that true?”

”It's true! I saw it with my own eyes. I was lying on the ground at that time. That kid's fire technique was ridiculously powerful. A large group of flying ants were burned away by him in one move.”

”The color of his spirit fire is also very different from ordinary spirit fire. I suspect that he definitely has a special fire seed on him!”

”I heard that the Myriad Slaughter Sect has recently placed great importance on fire-attribute spiritual root cultivators. If we can obtain the strange flame, us brothers might be able to make a name for ourselves in the Myriad Slaughter Sect.”

”How is it? Do you want to do it?”

”Hehe, such a good fat sheep is right in front of us. That's our opportunity.”

There were not many good people among the rogue cultivators who could gather here. Even on the way, some people could not help but have ill intentions.

A few cultivators conversed in a certain dialect for a while before dispersing as if they had returned to their original place to lie on the ground and nap.

However, there was immediately a rustling sound that mixed into the cold wind of the desert.

A palm-sized spider crawled out from a cultivator's sleeve.

As the spider walked, the wind stopped. The hunting instinct engraved in its genes made it quietly approach its target.

Soon, the spider crawled up Jiang Li's body from the rock ground and covered its face.

”Hmph, he can even sleep like this. He's indeed a rookie.”

The cultivator lying on the ground suddenly pulled the spider silk in his hand, pulling back the spider that was crawling on Jiang Li's mask. Even Jiang Li's mask was pulled off.

Then, another person flicked a stone out from his hand and struck the Desolate Poison Mushroom that was close by.

Stimulated, the poisonous mushroom immediately spat out a large amount of spores from the holes in its body.

The cultivators who were sitting or lying down to rest instantly retreated. Even if they had already taken anti-poison measures, no one wanted to stay in such a dense poisonous spore powder.

Only the few people who had just had ill intentions did not retreat but pounced towards Jiang Li who was still within the range of the spore powder.

The other travelers who were forced back by the spore powder were quite angry. Seeing this scene, they already understood what those people wanted to do.

It was nothing more than trying to use the poison of the Poison Mushroom to directly knock Jiang Li down and then kill him for it.

This kind of behavior was actually quite old-fashioned in this wilderness.

However, robbery was one thing, but injuring others was another.

When the few fellows inside came out, the travelers outside would probably settle the score with them.

The wind on the stone wasteland quickly blew away the spreading spore dust.

However, only Jiang Li appeared before them, and his body was completely free of dust.

The few villains who had launched the attack had already disappeared without a trace.

Jiang Li was actually in a good mood now. Among the few people who attacked him earlier, one of them happened to have a fire attribute spiritual root attribute.

He was just worrying about casually fabricating a name and background that would easily be seen through by the Myriad Slaughter Sect when these guys came to send him off.

Fire Whip Niu Yi'er, this was such a casual name.

Jiang Li put on the mask again and used the appearance changing technique he obtained by accident all those years ago. After changing his appearance, he sat cross-legged back down.

The others had the intention to find Jiang Li to vent their anger.

However, the scene just now indicated that this person was obviously not to be trifled with. rogue cultivators like them were the best at judging the situation, so no one dared to come up and court death for the time being.

Instead, a man placed a bottle of pills beside him.

”This medicine can detoxify the mushroom poison.”

After that person finished speaking, he walked away and did not spare Jiang Li another glance.

Jiang Li put away the bottle of pills. He did not consume it nor did he refuse.

The next day, the group continued on their journey as usual. No one cared about the disappeared scumbags.

As the distance approached, the number of demon beast monsters in the surrounding wilderness decreased.

From time to time, the patrolling cultivators of the Myriad Slaughter Sect would appear.

Several open paths finally appeared ahead.

This kind of product under the order of civilization meant that they had already entered the control area of Blackstone City.

The nearby demon beasts had already been cleaned up by the local cultivators.

However, after the Myriad Slaughter Sect took over Blackstone City, everything here had changed slightly.

On the side of the road, there was a wooden pole erected every 100 feet.

On each wooden pole, there was the corpse of a young girl. They were in a dancing posture.

They closed their eyes and pointed forward elegantly. This was actually a road sign made of a human girl.

”Heh, how beautiful. As expected of the Myriad Slaughter Sect.”

This was the first time Jiang Li had seen such a scene, and he could not help but frown.

However, the rogue cultivators beside him were clearly experienced and knowledgeable. They might have seen actions ten times worse than this.

Therefore, they did not feel any discomfort when he saw it.

Some people were full of praise for this decoration.

This was the true appearance of the cultivation world of the Eastern Region.

The Eastern Region of the Azure Cloud Continent was very large. The situation in each region was different. The attitude of cultivators to mortals was also vastly different.

For example, under the hard work of the seniors of the sect, the righteous path alliance completely defeated the demonic cultivators and allowed the humans in that region to live peacefully.

However, that kind of peace had actually only lasted for more than a hundred years. To the older cultivators, the chaos back then was like a day away.

As for the other regions of the Eastern Region, some had established peaceful order like the Great Mountain Region.

However, other than that, there were also many places where righteous and demonic existences coexisted. Some simply said that demonic cultivators had already eliminated righteous sects and established sinful places, causing all living beings to be in deep trouble.

For example, the current cultivation world of the Rock Mountain Range.

Some of the higher-ups of the Divine Judgment Hall might have long wanted to eliminate these poisonous tumors.

However, there were actually many organizations like the Myriad Slaughter Sect.

If they really fought, it would definitely cause serious internal conflict.

Now, the Armored Trolls were staring covetously at them. If the Eastern Region consumed a large amount of its strength, the entire Eastern Region might fall to a state that was even more terrifying than being ruled by demonic cultivators.
