Chapter 474: Deep into the Southern Wilds, Lei Luan
Afterwards, after watching Ling Taichu gradually go away, Fang Xiao was not in a hurry to leave.
He took out two jade slips from his arms and began to examine them on the spot.
It was not until a moment later that he put down the jade slip in his hand with a serious expression.
“I underestimated the demon race.
I didn't expect that there would be so many powerful demons in just the southern wilderness.
There really is a Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon here.”
Fang Xiao could never have expected that in the Southern Wilderness, which is as large as the Eastern Region, there are actually ten great demons in the form of spirits.
Even if we exclude the Sun-Eating Mastiff that fell into Fang Xiao's hands, there are still nine of them.
There are three heads each in the early, middle and late stages of the transformation of the spirit.
And all this information came from Wanbao Pavilion.
The demon race has occupied the Southern Wilderness for many years, so the human race is naturally quite clear about their specific situation.
It is said that with this little strength, the demon race is simply unable to fight against the human race. If they attack together, their destruction will happen overnight.
But even so, it is simply impossible to achieve.
Firstly, it is a battle between people of the same level, and the opponent is a demon clan. Even if they are outnumbered, there will still be considerable risks.
If the holy land loses a divine being, it will be a heavy blow to it.
Although the existence of the demon race often causes friction with the human race, it generally does not cause much damage to the human race.
In addition, the presence of the demon tribe restrained all parties and prevented the human race from frequent civil wars.
Secondly, the demon race itself is a natural treasure trove.
Whether it is refining elixirs, refining weapons, making talismans, or setting up formations, the materials on the monsters are no less valuable than elixirs and precious materials.
Therefore, the Southern Wilderness is also the largest place in the Taichang Realm where monsters are raised.
Although if they are all wiped out, the human race can gain an extra territory, but they will also lose this base for breeding monsters.
Therefore, all parties involved have a tacit understanding and have never mentioned this matter.
In addition to the information about the great demon who had transformed into a spirit, the jade slip also contained a rough topographic map of the Southern Wilderness.
Unfortunately, there is no map of the distribution of the demon clan’s forces. Even the Wanbao Pavilion does not have many clues about the specific locations of those great demons who have reached the state of spiritual transformation.
As for the content in the other jade slip, it is a summary of some information about the Demon-Slaying Immortal City’s exploration of the Southern Wilderness over the years.
But ever since Fang Xiao cleared out the demons from this area, the information in this jade slip has basically become of no value.
"In this case, we can only explore carefully and start with the transformed demon cultivators."
Fang Xiao muttered to himself.
Then he quickly put away the jade slip, and after carefully identifying the direction, he turned into light and escaped, disappearing into the sky.
……
One month later, deep in the Southern Wilderness.
This blurry figure shuttled between the mountains, completely ignoring the obstruction of the rocks.
“After all, this is the demon clan’s territory, and sword escape is too high-profile and should not be used anymore.
It would be safer to use the Five Elements Great Escape to conceal your tracks and conduct the investigation in secret."
This figure was Fang Xiao.
After all, the Southern Wilderness is different from other immortal cultivation realms, and there is no convenient teleportation array for him to use.
Therefore, it took him a month to get out of the Sun-Eating Mastiff's sphere of influence.
Along the way, there were quite a few herds of animals migrating towards this place.
“I don’t know whether these beasts are instinctively expanding their territory or being driven away by high-level demon cultivators.
But no matter what the reason is, there is finally a clue.
If we move towards the rear of the beast group, we may encounter a transformed demon cultivator."
Anyway, Fang Xiao hasn't gained anything for the time being, so he might as well start exploring from here.
If there is a high-level demon cultivator driving away the beasts, he must be a transformed demon cultivator.
After all, this kind of thing cannot be done by the great demon in person.
Then Fang Xiao quickly set off and fled at high speed against the herd of beasts.
As for these low-level, unintelligent monsters, he had no interest in even killing them.
What Fang Xiao didn't expect was that the transformed demon cultivator, whom he hadn't encountered for a whole month, was discovered by him in just half a day.
It was a leopard-headed demon cultivator in the early stage of transformation. It was standing on the top of a mountain, exuding a powerful aura.
"Sure enough, they are driving away the beasts. It seems that the news of the Sun Devouring Mastiff's demise has spread throughout the Southern Wilds."
The entire area was cleared of demons; this kind of thing could not be covered up at all.
However, Fang Xiao didn’t know what the other great masters of the Jindan realm thought of this.
Afterwards, after confirming that there were no other demon cultivators above the transformed form around, he suddenly flashed out without any concealment and headed straight for the leopard-headed demon cultivator.
"Human race?! You're looking for death."
Seeing that some humans suddenly appeared not far away and attacked, the leopard-headed demon cultivator who had just transformed did not have time to think too much and instinctively fought back.
However, what horrified the leopard-headed demon cultivator was that the human on the opposite side appeared in front of it in a flash.
Along with the outstretched palm, invisible pressure descended instantly. The leopard-headed demon cultivator had no room to resist at all and was held down on the head by Fang Xiao.
Then it quickly lost consciousness.
It doesn’t matter if Fang Xiao doesn’t know the situation of the demon clan, as long as these transformed demon cultivators know it.
It's just a soul search.
Judging from Fang Xiao's actions at this moment, he was obviously searching the soul of the leopard monster.
The soul-searching started quickly and ended quickly, in less than a hundred breaths.
On the one hand, this monster is only in the early stage of transformation, and is far inferior to Fang Xiao, who possesses a true spirit-level soul.
On the other hand, it had not been long since this monster advanced into its human form, and its memory after becoming intelligent was extremely short, so Fang Xiao almost wiped it out.
However, although this monster's memory is short, it still retains some useful things.
"It turns out this is its territory."
Fang Xiao also didn't expect that he would actually meet the great demon that he liked.
The nine-headed divine monster in the Southern Wilderness.
The ones in the late stage of transformation are a purple crystal queen bee, a ten thousand year old cold silkworm and a golden-haired tiger.
The three demons in the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation Stage are a Thunder Luan, a Green-backed Mountain Dragon and a Earthly Bear King.
As for the early stage of transformation, except for a six-tailed white fox, the other two were purple crystal bees.
It can be said that the Amethyst Queen Bee is the only one that dominates the Southern Wilderness.
In the memory of the leopard-headed demon cultivator, the area where he was located was under the rule of the Thunder Luan.
Fang Xiao's first target when he came to the Southern Wilderness was this Thunder Luan.
After all, his strength is there, and his target will not be the big demon in the early stage of transformation.
As for why it was Lei Luan, it was because of her skills in thunder.
Firstly, Fang Xiao possessed the Thunder Control Sign, so he could suppress it even without the Thunder Dao track.
Secondly, if the power of thunder is used well, it can be considered a rare means of tempering the body, so he naturally does not want to give it up.
That’s right, Fang Xiao’s goal was to capture this Lei Luan in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation realm alive.
In comparison, although the Green-backed Mountain Dragon and the Earthly Bear King are also good, they are naturally inferior to Lei Luan in the long run.
Therefore, these two monsters can only be regarded as alternatives.
