My Cultivation Starting from Archery-Chapter 605 - 206: How many troops does this Upper Sect have?_5
Having said that, he grabbed Zhaozhao's arm and left.
The young cultivator watched their retreating backs and quietly cast his Investigation Skill, soon revealing a disdainful look, "What an attitude, I thought they were some Great Cultivators. Turns out one is at the Qi Refining First Level and the other at the Qi Refining Second Level. Where did they get the guts to enter the mountain? Isn't that just delivering themselves as food to the demon beasts?!"
"This one is a Martial Cultivator."
Lu Boqin said with a venomous gaze, "But it doesn't matter. The seven of us together have more than enough to handle a cornered wolf."
"A Martial Cultivator?"
The fellow Martial Saint, Kong Jincheng, spoke up, "Speaking of which, has Brother Lu seen the bounty tasks recently offered in the workshop? Just sign the Blood Covenant and you can get one of the three treasures directly. We wouldn't need to keep searching aimlessly."
"That's true, but have you seen the content of that Blood Covenant?" Lu Boqin asked.
"I have not." Kong Jincheng probed, "As an officer of the Law Enforcement Hall, Brother Lu, can you reveal something about it?"
"It's not exactly a secret."
Lu Boqin said gravely, "The Blood Covenant states that you must not stop until death. This trip to the so-called Eastern Continent, I'm afraid, carries more bad luck than good."
"It must be related to the Ancestor Vein again."
Kong Jincheng said with emotion, "But we, as Martial Cultivators, always need to find a way to activate Jing Shen. If we can't find the desired treasures from heaven and earth after a while, even if the risk is great, we'll have to give it a try. We Martial Cultivators are like boats going against the current, we either advance or we fall back!"
"Brother Kong speaks wisely, let's see how things go,"
Lu Boqin said, "Let's quickly join forces and enter the mountain!"
"Agreed!"
...
Chiling Mountain.
Colorful eagle sculptures that blotted out the sun flew overhead, three-headed black panthers flashed through the trees, and the bushes rustled continuously. There were also various strange calls around the ears from time to time.
The further they went, the denser the black forest became, and the surroundings grew creepy and dim.
Zhaozhao followed closely behind the white-robed figure, suddenly feeling a chill on her neck. When she reached out and touched it, she felt something cold and slippery. Pulling at it, she found it wouldn't come loose, as it was tightly coiled around her neck.
Then...
She saw a snake's head emerge abruptly and meet her gaze, before it opened its mouth to spew Poison Fog.
"Ah—"
"Clang—"
A flash of blade.
Just before the Poison Fog sprayed out, the snake's head hit the ground.
Zhaozhao finally managed to remove the White Jade Snake from her neck and threw it away.
"Pick it up."
Chen Sansi slowly sheathed his blade, "A First-stage Spiritual Beast, the White Jade Snake. Its gallbladder is worth five Spirit Stones."
"It's still valuable?"
Zhaozhao then cautiously approached, and, due to fear, quickly stuffed it into her waist bag and wrapped the top several times over. After fussing for a while, she realized that the white robe hadn't waited for her at all, having already gone a few hundred steps ahead, and she hurried to catch up.
"Pay attention yourself. If that snake bites you, you're a goner."
Chen Sansi appeared casual but was always vigilant about the surroundings.
The prey of Chiling Mountain.
They were observing each other!
That's right.
It wasn't only him picking prey; the prey was also observing him.
This place was special.
There was no Spiritual Energy
But the Sun and Moon Essence were particularly abundant.
These demon beasts all had a certain level of intelligence.
Chen Sansi was certain that if he made a move and failed to intimidate the other nearby creatures, there would definitely be demon beasts taking the chance to launch a surprise attack, and it could potentially never end.
His main goal was fishing, and before that, it was better not to create unnecessary trouble.
After getting the spirit fish, then it wouldn't be too late to try hunting other demon beasts.
[Stealth Tracking] initiated.
Nothing in the forest could escape Chen Sansi's vision. Soon, he bent down, scraped away the soil layer, and found some black droppings underneath. Without any disgust, he picked them up and kneaded them in his hand.
Zhaozhao pinched her nose in disgust, watching as the legendary white robe, who even armies fled from, searched for droppings and fur. After a full two hours, he stopped in front of a bush flush with red fruit and picked a few.
"Finally found them."
Chen Sansi indeed put in a lot of effort.
Spirit fish were cautious by nature and could only be attracted with the extremely rare red fruit as bait.
And to find this fruit, one had to locate several small demon beasts.
In short, it was a huge detour.
For the average person, even if their cultivation were higher, it would be difficult to conduct such a meticulous search, even if they had specialized in spell cultivation for this purpose and had enough experience in jungle hunting.
Chiling Mountain had the Tuo River, which was teeming with countless spirit fish and demon beasts.
Chen Sansi arrived at a downstream tributary of the Tuo River, found a rock to sit on, took out a fishing rod from his storage bag, mixed the red fruit with a few other herbs and plants to make bait, and finally handed it to the simpleton, "Leave this small matter to you. I'll keep watch to prevent any demon beast ambushes."
"We still have to rely on me."
Zhaozhao saw through the charade but didn't point it out, sitting down to fish with a piece of honeyed Spirit Grass in her mouth.
Just half an hour later, she felt something tugging at the line.
"So soon?"

Chen Sansi clearly remembered what the books said, to be prepared for several days of futile effort to catch a spirit fish. How much time had passed?
If he had known, he would have fished himself.
"Chen Sansi, quick quick quick, I can't pull it... Ah..."
Before she could finish her sentence,
Zhaozhao plunged directly into the river.
Through the water, one could see a spiritual beast that resembled a frog but had a fish tail.
The spirit fish!
It was only the size of a palm, but surprisingly strong. It pulled Zhaozhao straight into the water, then forcefully yanked the specially made hook from its mouth, and made its escape.
