The market was crowded with people, but no one was interested in Old Man Zhou's stall, and his tattered ancient array plate was never sold.
Xu Chunniang naturally knew nothing about these things, and even if she did, she would just take it for granted.
After all, anyone with a little insight can see that the value of the array plate is very average, and no one would be fooled by it.
She shook her head and went directly to Duobao Pavilion, reluctantly spending six hundred spirit stones to buy a set of first-grade mid-quality concealment array plates.
The formation plate and formation flags can be used to arrange a formation, and even cultivators who are not proficient in formations can use it.
Except for being a bit expensive, there are no other disadvantages.
Xu Chunniang spent three days refining the formation plate and flags before heading towards the Hundred Demons Mountain Range.
There is no other way. It is too dangerous to go deep into the Hundred Demons Mountains alone. With a mid-grade concealment array, the safety factor will be greatly improved.
If she wasn't short of money, she would even want to buy a top-grade concealment array.
However, a top-grade concealment array would cost at least a thousand spirit stones, which she did not have enough.
A mid-grade concealment array is barely enough to deal with monsters, and it can also play a certain role when encountering monks who don't understand array formations.
This time when going up the mountain, Xu Chunniang took a different route than she did five years ago.
After all, the most dangerous area in the periphery is the Huposhan area.
Although the cloud tigers of Hupo Mountain like to gather in groups, their cultivation is not very high, usually at the fourth or fifth level of Qi training.
For Xu Chunniang, who had been practicing the sixth level for a year and was also training her body, these cloud tigers were not challenging at all, let alone able to unleash her potential and break through the bottleneck.
The interior of the Hundred Demons Mountains is an order of magnitude more dangerous than the surrounding areas.
Deep in the mountains, in addition to the monsters in the middle and late stages of Qi training, it is said that there may also be monsters in the perfect stage of Qi training.
However, it's just a possibility.
These are just rumors and there is no definite information.
Xu Chunniang was wearing an ordinary black monk's uniform, and she hid several storage bags containing important items and spiritual rice close to her body.
There were only a few spare storage bags left, filled with miscellaneous items and hung around his waist.
She was wearing a bracelet of crystal white pearls, and the soul-detecting pearl was hidden among the pearls, making it inconspicuous.
The soul-searching bead was the white bead that Xu Chunniang had seized from the fifth-level Qi training cultivator.
She had specially checked it some time ago and only then did she know the origin and name of the bead.
After inputting spiritual energy into the soul-detecting bead, it can detect the spiritual energy fluctuations nearby and can also detect the strength of the spiritual power. Its function is similar to that of the spiritual tool soul-detecting plate.
Whether it is a cultivator, a demon beast, or a spiritual object such as a spiritual herb, it can all be detected by the Spirit Detecting Pearl, but its range of effect is not large.
After three days of traveling, Xu Chunniang was finally about to reach her destination.
Not far ahead is the belly of the Hundred Demons Mountains. Once you step into the belly area, you may encounter ferocious beasts at any time.
She decided to rest for a night to get into the best condition before entering the abdominal area.
Xu Chunniang found a hidden cave. After using the spirit-detecting beads to check the surroundings to see if there was anything unusual, she took out the formation plate and formation flags, set up a hidden formation at the entrance of the cave, and then entered the cave.
There are signs of animal habitation in the cave, and it may have been an animal's nest in the past.
Xu Chunniang tidied herself up briefly, then sat cross-legged to meditate and regulate her breathing.
On the second day, Xu Chunniang, who had rested enough, put away the formation plate and formation flags, revealing her true sixth-level cultivation level, and headed deeper into the mountains.
When you step into the mountain, the first place you enter is the activity area of the giant rhinoceros.
The giant rhinoceros is a monster with thick skin and great strength. Its defense and destructive power are amazing, and it is also good at using earth-based magic.
Their cultivation level is not very high, often only at the fifth or sixth level of Qi training, but it can be very troublesome if you are entangled by them.
Xu Chunniang had not walked far when she was hit by a giant rhinoceros that was out looking for food.
Upon seeing the human monks, the giant rhinoceros let out an excited cry and ran towards Xu Chunniang.
The giant rhinoceros was huge in size and had extraordinary strength. If Xu Chunniang was hit by it, her small body might not be able to withstand it.
Looking at the little man in front of him, bloodthirsty cruelty flashed in the giant rhinoceros' eyes, as if it was sure that it could smash the human to pieces with this collision.
Xu Chunniang suddenly moved.
When the giant rhinoceros was less than half a meter away from her, she dodged to the side and the giant rhinoceros passed by her perfectly.
The giant rhinoceros hit empty air and was carried forward by inertia for a long distance before stopping.
It suddenly became angry and charged towards Xu Chunniang again, even faster than before.
A hint of interest flashed in Xu Chunniang's eyes. The giant rhinoceros, which had a low level of cultivation and thick skin and flesh, would be a good sparring partner.
She used the same trick again and still dodged the collision.
The giant rhinoceros became even angrier and charged forward faster and faster.
But Xu Chunniang looked thin and was able to avoid its impact at the critical moment every time, so its mood became irritable.
Finally, after another failed collision, the giant rhinoceros raised its two hooves upwards, and then pressed down heavily.
Two rows of sharp earth spikes emerged from the ground out of nowhere and chased after Xu Chunniang.
Xu Chunniang retreated backwards, but Tu Ci chased her relentlessly, as if he wanted to stab her through.
Xu Chunniang remained calm and did not even use her spiritual power. She just relied on her own physical strength to deal with the two rows of earth spikes, appearing to be at ease.
Controlling the earth spikes for a long time consumes a lot of spiritual energy. The giant rhinoceros finally couldn't bear it anymore. The earth spikes became duller and duller, and their speed also slowed down.
Xu Chunniang turned around and looked at the giant rhinoceros with a leisurely smile.
Now it's her turn to fight back.
She swung her fist, waited for the right moment, and hit the giant rhinoceros hard in the eyes!
Flying Fire Meteor Fist!
Although the giant rhinoceros had thick skin and flesh, its eyes were its real weak point. After being hit, it howled in pain, causing the fallen leaves in the forest to fall.
Xu Chunniang was secretly surprised. If she was also a cultivator at the sixth level of Qi training, he would also be seriously injured after taking a punch from her with all his strength.
I didn't expect that when it came to the giant rhinoceros, it just caused it to feel pain. It seems that the defense of this giant rhinoceros is really not to be underestimated.
Looking at the giant rhinoceros jumping around, a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes. Come again!
“Bang, bang, bang!”
Punch after punch hit the giant rhinoceros on the head, eyes, and body.
Even though it had amazing defense, it couldn't withstand such a fierce attack. Before long, it was injured in many places, and the wound on the head of the giant rhinoceros was particularly horrific.
Xu Chunniang's fist was soon stained with blood, which included the giant rhinoceros's blood and her own.
However, this was just a superficial injury caused by the recoil of the giant rhinoceros's defensive power.
Xu Chunniang's punches were faster than the last. She used the huge rhinoceros as a sandbag, swinging it in circles and flattening it.
After another powerful blow from her, the giant rhinoceros let out a mournful cry and finally fell down unwillingly.
Looking at the giant rhinoceros that couldn't get up, Xu Chunniang felt a little reluctant. It fell down so quickly. It really couldn't take a beating.
If the dead giant rhinoceros had a soul and knew what Xu Chunniang was thinking, it would probably be so angry that it would come back to life.
Xu Chunniang stepped forward and took the rhino horn, blood and bones with great effort.
There was too much meat from the giant rhinoceros and its value was only average, so Xu Chunniang only cut a few pieces.
She moved very quickly. After all, the giant rhinoceros had just made quite a noise, and now there was a smell of blood. It might not be long before other monsters would come looking for her.
After doing all this, Xu Chunniang left quickly.
Sure enough, not long after, a group of ice and fire wolves with sensitive noses came after smelling the scent and ate the giant rhinoceros completely.
There are at least seven or eight ice and fire wolves in this group, and their cultivation levels are between the fourth and sixth levels of Qi training. If Xu Chunniang stays where she is, a fierce battle is inevitable.
But Xu Chunniang's luck was not good either.
Although he avoided the pack of ice and fire wolves that followed the scent, he was targeted by two thunderbirds.
