"Do you know now?" Seeing that Ling Dong was shocked, the warrior glanced at Ling Dong proudly and said, "If my master hadn't found a large number of low-level demon beasts behind the starlight fog, how could he have hired you and made you rich?"
"Low-level demon beasts?" Ling Dong repeated, not knowing what he was talking about. But in his mind, he was digesting the information like a tsunami.
The ancient Occult Star Tomb, which was closely related to his training arts, had been claimed by someone else before him! When Ling Dong first heard this news, he even felt like he was struck dumb by this news. For a moment, he couldn't react.
In his memory, the ancient Occult Star Tomb behind the starlight fog in the Valley of Falling Stars should have been discovered more than a hundred years later, not now.
Ling Dong suddenly thought of something that made him break out in a cold sweat. Could it be that some things had changed because of his rebirth?
Ling Dong wasn't afraid that other things would change. But the ancient Occult Star Tomb was too important. If it was really discovered by someone else, then his complete Big Dipper Arts...
Such thoughts flashed through Ling Dong's mind. With Ling Dong's mentality and meticulous thinking, all kinds of questions popped up in his mind.
If the ancient Occult Star Tomb had been discovered, what was so scary about the low-level demon beasts behind the starlight fog? As long as he could find an expert in the middle or later phase of the Earth Fiend Realm, he would be able to kill as many low-level demon beasts as he wanted, as long as it wasn't in a specific terrain.
Besides, normally speaking, if the ancient Occult Star Tomb was discovered, it was unlikely that the ancient Occult Star Tomb would be recruited so blatantly.
It must be noted that the ancient Occult Star Tomb was so attractive that not only the Earth Fiend Realm experts, even the Heaven Fiend Realm experts would jump at it like a cat that had seen a mouse that hadn't eaten for days.
Generally speaking, if they did discover any information about the ancient Occult Star Tomb, they would carefully search for reliable people in their special circle of friends to explore it together, or send people under their absolute control to explore it. They would also keep it a secret in case the information was leaked.
Normally, they wouldn't even be able to keep it a secret, so why would they announce it so openly?
And for such a grand announcement to recruit martial artists to explore, there was only one possibility – they were recruiting martial artists to be cannon fodder!
They would be the cannon fodder for the exploration of the Ancient Occult Star Mansion. They would pave the way for their further exploration with living human beings. After coming to such a conclusion, Ling Dong was almost certain that the guy had not entered the Ancient Occult Star Mansion yet. Even if he had, it would be very limited.
Thinking of this, Ling Dong's originally nervous heart calmed down.
Seeing that Ling Dong was a little distracted, the warrior waved his hand impatiently. "Hey, brother, are you going or not? Fifty thousand taels of silver ah! My master also promised that after the exploration is successful, everyone will be rewarded with a Tri-Flower Demonic Aura Pill worth sixty to seventy thousand taels of silver that can increase one's cultivation. At the same time, if the conditions permit, those who succeed in the exploration will be able to obtain a low-grade loot. However, as for the high-grade loot, of course, none of you will be able to obtain it …
"A Tri-Flower Demonic Aura Pill? Hearing this news, Ling Dong was very surprised. With such a large amount of medicinal pills being distributed, it was possible that the person exploring this place was an alchemist or had a brilliant alchemist as a subordinate.
"Of course, there's an Earth Pill Master expert by my master's side!" That cultivator said proudly.
"Fifty thousand taels of silver and a Tri-Flower Demonic Aura Pill. If we succeed, we can even get a low-grade loot. Only a fool would refuse such a good offer!" said Ling Dong, as if he was tempted by the benefits.
Although he said so, Ling Dong was more and more certain that these people were recruiting cannon fodder to explore the path for them, just like what Ling Dong had done in his previous life.
In fact, many martial artists were not stupid. In fact, some of them knew that they were just cannon fodder, just like Ling Dong in his previous life, but they would still do it anyway.
They were taking risks. They were looking for a fluke, a chance that might exist.
"Good, good, good!" Hearing this, the warrior was full of smiles. He handed Ling Dong a thousand taels of silver note: "Brother, it's good that you're joining. My master is also very generous. As long as you join, you can get a thousand taels of silver as a reward."
As he spoke, he handed Ling Dong a red number plate. On it were the words' one, two, four '. It should represent that Ling Dong was the one hundred and twenty-fourth warrior.
"Take this number plate and walk straight in. Don't worry, this Starfall Valley only has one exit. Walk to the end, which is the Starlight Fog Barrier, and you'll see my master's team. If you walk faster, you can reach in two or three days! "
The warrior smiled mysteriously: "Hehe, brother, don't blame me for not reminding you. You have to hurry and reach before my master moves. My master has another mysterious gift for you!"
"Mysterious gift, I'm looking forward to it! In that case, I won't be long-winded. Hurry up, before I'm late! "Ling Dong took the red number plate, smiled, and left.
But in his heart, he was amazed. The person who organized this matter was so meticulous. He had an extremely good grasp of people's hearts. First, there was a small profit of a thousand taels of silver. Then, there was a mysterious gift at the destination. The messenger who heard this would not be happy even if he did not want to go!
Seeing that Ling Dong had walked far away until he was out of sight, the warrior who had been talking just now cursed, "F * ck, another f * cking idiot who got tricked. Come on, Boss, let's continue to trick him!"
"Pa!" Hearing this, the other warrior slapped this person: "What are you talking about? Do you want His Lord to hear this? Do you want to die? Moreover, His Lord usually doesn't do things that he's not sure of. I think this exploration has an eighty to ninety percent chance of success! "
"Success? Who would believe that? A few days ago, a hundred of our brothers went in, and less than twenty of them came out alive. They didn't even get out of the starlight mist! "
"Shut your stinky mouth. Someone else is coming!" Another warrior cursed in a low voice.
While the two warriors were laughing and cursing, Ling Dong, who had walked far away, was deep in thought.
Judging from the current situation, the person who organized this matter seemed to have spent a lot of money on it. It was definitely not a small operation. A thousand taels of silver for each of a hundred people was not a small sum.
Who was exploring this place exactly? As far as he could remember, the Ancient Secret Orb Mansion had never been explored successfully before he became a cannon fodder.
After thinking hard but to no avail, Ling Dong became resolute again. "Now that someone is exploring this place, whether it's a real exploration or not, I have to sneak in. If he succeeds, I'll sabotage him. If not, I'll take the opportunity to slip away and explore on my own! "
It must be noted that Ling Dong had the Star Luo Pellet, which was specially made to suppress the poison in the starlight mist. Naturally, he was not afraid of being a cannon fodder. Besides, when the time was right, he could even turn a fake one into a real one.
However, before rushing to the gathering point at the Starlight Mist Barrier, Ling Dong had to first find a few initial-stage Earthly Fiend Realm demon beasts, Starry Serpents, and kill them to obtain their snake gall and skin. After passing through the Starlight Mist Barrier, the skin and gall of these Starry Serpents were essential items.
It was not difficult to find the Star Serpents. Star Serpents often appeared near the Star Dream Grasses in the Valley of Stars. The older the Star Dream Grasses, the more likely it was that Star Serpents would appear.
Generally speaking, the deeper one went into the Valley of Stars, the greater the chance of encountering a Star Serpent. Therefore, Ling Dong was sharpening his axe and searching for the Star Serpents at the same time.
During the journey, Ling Dong used the Transformation Spell to change his appearance!
Ling Dong was very careful in changing his appearance. Someone who could spend so much effort to explore the Ancient Secret Star Mansion behind the starlight mist couldn't be simple at all!
Perhaps, he was an elite from some powerful force. Especially when he had a subordinate who was an Earth Alchemist, his status was no small matter. To be able to have an Earth Alchemist as his subordinate, how could his status and power be weak?
Therefore, in order to deal with the possible danger, Ling Dong used the Transformation Spell to change his appearance. Ling Dong didn't want to be hunted by people all over the world just because of a moment of carelessness!
For two consecutive days, Ling Dong was on his way. He encountered more and more Star Dream Grasses along the way, but he didn't see any Star Serpents. However, according to Ling Dong's memory, he would be able to reach the starlight mist in one more day, and the Star Serpents wouldn't be rare either!
Because he was worried that a large group of martial artists would pass by and kill the Star Serpents along the way, Ling Dong had been taking the smaller path for the past few days.
Today, when the sun was setting, Ling Dong, who had been traveling cautiously for a whole day, sat down beside a green rock to take a rest.
In the Valley of Stars, the Star Serpents appeared and disappeared unpredictably. Furthermore, they were low-tier Earth Fiend demon beasts and were highly venomous. Even a powerhouse wouldn't have an easy time after being bitten by one, let alone Ling Dong. What was even more perverse was that ordinary snake medicines were ineffective against the Star Serpents!
Therefore, Ling Dong, who was traveling alone, was extremely careful at every moment!
Casually chewing a mouthful of jerky, Ling Dong patted his stomach lightly. Then, a greenish-white shadow darted out with a whoosh. After making a beautiful turn in the air, it obediently landed in Ling Dong's arms. Then, Ling Dong stuck out its cute little pink tongue!
"Greedy cat!" Seeing the cat spirit's cute action, Ling Dong jokingly scolded it. He took out three low-tier crystals from his Universe Ring and placed them in front of the cat spirit, allowing it to suck on them.
The cat spirit now was a real money eater. It ate three meals a day, and each meal cost at least three low-tier crystals. If it wasn't for the jade tripod badge that Ling Dong obtained from the Apothecary Manor, which allowed him to borrow a portion of the money, the cat spirit would have run out of food by now.
"Sizzle!" The cat spirit gently pursed its lips and sucked on the green low-tier crystals in satisfaction. A green light went straight into the cat spirit's stomach, and its expression was one of extreme enjoyment.
"Meow … Wuuu …" Uh, the cat spirit that had just sucked half of the crystals suddenly turned into a mournful low growl. In an instant, it arched its back, and the fur on its neck stood up. Its originally docile sapphire blue eyes stared unwaveringly at a cluster of flowers with star-shaped leaves!
Ling Dong recognized it. It was the famous Star Serpent Grass in the Starfall Valley. The Star Serpent Grass had seven leaves. Each leaf was star-shaped, and the more star-shaped the leaves had, the older it was. It was known as the Star Serpent Grass!
"What's wrong, Xiao Ling?" Ling Dong lightly patted the cat spirit's waist. His gaze followed the direction of the cat spirit's gaze, but he was secretly on guard. Ling Dong knew that the cat spirit would definitely not be angry for no reason. It must have sensed some danger!
"Chi!" Without waiting for Ling Dong to make a move, from behind the cluster of Star Serpent Grass, a shining silver whip shadow suddenly shot out, attacking Ling Dong.
At the same time that the sound rang out, the cat spirit in Ling Dong's arms suddenly screeched. At the same time that his arms became light, the cat spirit had already pounced on the silver shadow. In an instant, they were in a mess.
By the time Ling Dong recognized that the silver shadow that pounced out was a low-tier Earth Terminus Star Serpent, the cat spirit had already been ruthlessly whipped away by the Star Serpent's tail.
The Star Serpent's entire body was silver, and its skin was dotted with star-like gray dots. At first glance, it looked like the stars of Zhou Tian were spread out. It was known as the Star Serpent.
The moment it was whipped by the serpent's tail, the cat spirit's body surged with a deep green light. Although it was sent flying, it was not injured. However, seeing the cat spirit's setback, Ling Dong was very anxious. His cat spirit was only an early-stage Xiantian spirit pet, while the Star Serpent was a low-tier Earth Terminus Demonic Beast.
The disparity in strength was really too great. If it was not careful, the cat spirit could be swallowed by the Star Serpent. If it was not for the cat spirit having some special abilities, it would probably be finished by now!
Therefore, Ling Dong did not hesitate at all. He took out a high-tier Xiantian sword and prepared to kill the Star Serpent to help the cat spirit.
What surprised Ling Dong was that the cat spirit that had just been whipped away, after letting out a roar filled with battle intent, pounced forward again like lightning before Ling Dong could attack the Star Serpent. It fought with the Star Serpent, not giving Ling Dong a chance to attack at all!
A snake and a cat, fighting in a mess, made Ling Dong hesitate to attack the rat for fear of breaking the vases. Even in a situation where he was prepared, Ling Dong could only take advantage of the time when the cat spirit was sent flying to send a Fillip Startling Star to disturb the Star Serpent!
Ling Dong suddenly understood. Natural enemy. Most likely, this was the nature of natural enemies! This was another fight between a dragon and a tiger.
In addition, Ling Dong suddenly realized that the Star Serpent seemed to be rather afraid of the cat spirit whose cultivation was only at the early Xiantian stage. Every time, it used its tail to whip the cat spirit away and did not dare to use any other methods of attack. It did not even dare to use its poisonous fangs to bite the cat spirit.
Especially when the cat spirit unconsciously roared in anger, Ling Dong could even discover that the coiled up body of the Star Serpent was actually faintly trembling!
This dragon and tiger fight between the Star Serpent and the cat spirit continued for four to five minutes. After the Star Serpent sent the cat spirit flying again, the cat spirit was extraordinarily angry!
"Wu!" An unusually mournful scream, with a strange tremor, sounded from the depths of Ling Dong's soul. At the same time that it made Ling Dong's entire body tense up, a sense of familiarity or perhaps intimacy arose spontaneously. The soul throbbing that followed did not occur!
As for the Star Serpent that had also heard the mournful Soul Stabilizing Roar, it was even more miserable!
It was stunned on the spot for two seconds. Even the coiled up snake head that was raised high suddenly softened and fell to the ground.
"Pu!" The greenish-white figure pounced forward like lightning. The cat's claws suddenly stretched out, and the Star Serpent's body violently rebounded. The moment the snake tail was raised high, it suddenly fell to the ground!
Ling Dong saw that one of Meng Ling's claws had already pierced into the Star Serpent's eyes at some point in time. When it was fished out, the cat's claws were covered in alternating red and white things!
Ling Dong could not help but feel a chill run down his spine. This cat spirit was too abnormal. The moment it appeared, it dug out the snake's eyes and brain. Every move wanted the snake's life!
After the battle between Meng Ling and the Star Serpent, Ling Dong could see clearly. The cat spirit's Soul Stabilizing Roar seemed to have a strong natural restraint against snakes.
The same Soul Stabilizing Roar, when the cat spirit faced a Xiantian late stage demonic beast, could only cause it to be distracted for half a second. But facing a Star Serpent, an early stage Earth Emanations demonic beast, two seconds of distraction was not something that the cat spirit could kill. Even Ling Dong could use the mysterious black sword to slap this Star Serpent to death!
Ling Dong suddenly realized that with the cat spirit around, he did not need to be afraid of the Star Serpent in the Starfall Valley.
However, the cat spirit's actions did not end with the death of the Star Serpent. The cat spirit wiped its claws in a very human-like manner. With a light leap, it pounced onto the tail of the Star Serpent that was more than one meter long. The cat's claws stretched out again and tore apart the snake skin. It was simply easier than tearing apart paper!
"Shua," a black thing with blood appeared in the cat spirit's claws. Then, the cat opened its mouth and swallowed the black gallbladder of the Star Serpent into its stomach!
Then, the cat spirit leaped to the place where it had previously sucked in the low-grade crystal. Like a whale sucking in water, it turned into a green light and swallowed the remaining crystal into its stomach.
"Meow!" After the cat spirit finished sucking in that half piece of low-grade crystal, it suddenly raised its head and called out to Ling Dong anxiously.
At this time, Ling Dong was looking at the corpse of the Star Serpent with a bitter smile. The gallbladder that he needed inside had been swallowed by the cat spirit. Didn't that mean that other than the snake skin, he had nothing else to gain?
The Star Serpent was a rather strange demonic beast in the Tian Gang Continent. It was the only demonic beast in the Tian Gang Continent that did not have a demonic core. The most precious thing in its entire body was that snake core.
And that glittering Zhou Tian Star Serpent's skin was mostly used for decoration. Its defensive power was very ordinary. It was not even as useful as the fur of a late stage Xiantian demonic beast. And the area was too small, so it was very difficult to make it into a martial artist's leather armor!
"Meow!" The cat spirit anxiously called out again!
"Little Spirit, what do you want?" Ling Dong was puzzled!
"Meow!" The cat spirit called out again. This time, it was Ling Dong who used all his strength to pinch those cute lips!
"You still want to eat crystals?" Ling Dong asked tentatively!
The cat spirit seemed to understand Ling Dong's meaning and nodded crazily!
Ling Dong was helpless. He took out a piece of low-grade crystal and let the cat spirit eat it. This little guy, eating silver without blinking an eye!
But what made Ling Dong even more puzzled was that today's cat spirit was like a bottomless pit. It sucked one low-grade crystal after another until Ling Dong bared his teeth. If it continued like this, it would not be long before he became poor!
Ling Dong's expression was incomparably painful. The cat spirit continuously sucked 21 pieces of low-grade crystal. After that, it burped in satisfaction. Its whole body suddenly surged with a large amount of green light. In the blink of an eye, the cat spirit was wrapped in it, forming a green cocoon!
"What's going on?" Seeing this scene, Ling Dong's eyes widened!

In addition, brothers, remember, in the future when you ride a car, you must not sit in the first row! Zhu San encountered a frightening scene today!
Zhu San sat in the first row. Then, when he passed by a gravel truck, a stone fiercely hit the windshield. At the same time the windshield shattered, the stone also passed through the windshield and fell powerlessly onto Zhu San's leg!
If it was faster, then … Zhu San was terrified. This life, if it was not handled properly, it would be over! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
