To the northwest of the Demon Valley, there are towering mountains, dangerous peaks and green plants.
Between the mountains, there is a spacious field.
This naturally formed field did not attract humans to come here for planting, but instead attracted a group of monsters to live here and reproduce in this harsh environment.
Among the group of monsters, there is an evil beast called the ghost fish worm.
Its head is as hideous as that of an evil spirit, with a green face and fangs, a fish-like body covered with hard black scales, eight limbs crawling on the ground, and a long tiger tail behind it, forming a strange monster.
At this moment, in this field, a group of ghost fish insects are foraging here, concentrating on biting their prey, devouring the prey's flesh and blood, and their mouths are full of blood.
If you look closely, you can vaguely see broken bones of the prey torn apart by the ghost fish worms, with human clothes scattered nearby. The food that has been eaten beyond human form is actually human corpses.
"Hehe, it really is a ghost fish worm. We have come to the right place this time."
Behind a hillside, a dozen or so monks cautiously poked their heads out and looked at the ghost fish insects that were concentrating on eating in the field.
"I heard that ghost fish worms are a kind of monster that can survive without eating. The reason they eat and devour the flesh and blood of monks is just to reproduce."
"The flesh and blood of a cultivator is filled with spiritual energy, which can cause the ghost fish worms to form densely packed fish eggs in their bodies. These eggs will grow into ghost fish worm larvae within a month and be excreted from the body."
"This terrifying and astonishing reproduction rate has created the ghost fish insects' habit of living in groups."
"So, fellow Daoists, don't underestimate a Ghost Fish Worm because you think it's only equivalent to a cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Condensation. If dozens of Ghost Fish Worms swarm around, even a cultivator at the tenth level of Qi Condensation would be in great trouble."
"That's right. Although the Ghost Fishworm's strength is low, its body is very strong and ordinary magic weapons cannot hurt it. When its eight limbs move at the same time, it moves like the wind and should not be underestimated."
"Look, those unfortunate monks being bitten by ghost fish worms are probably eating them because of their negligence."
Among the dozen or so monks was a sturdy young man. He heard the conversation of others and shook his head and said, "What are you afraid of? They live in groups, and there are many of us."
"Can we still lose to these beasts?"
Upon hearing this, the other monks all nodded in agreement.
The chubby young man continued, "Although the ghost fish worm is terrifying, the larvae it produces are not only numerous but also easy to refine. If one of us can snatch a ghost fish worm and refine the larvae inside its belly..."
"Then we can harvest swarms of ghost fish worms, which is equivalent to having the fighting power of a group of loyal fifth-level Qi Condensation cultivators. No one will dare to look down on us, whether in this Earth Demon Valley or outside."
"There are less than twenty of these ghost fish worms down there. It's easy for us to take them down. One person can't even handle two of them."
"This fellow Taoist is right." Someone smiled at the chubby young man.
Agree with him.
"Wait until these ghost fish worms have completely devoured the flesh and blood of those unfortunate monks. Then we will rush over and quickly capture them. This way, we can get the ghost fish worm larvae for free."
"Remember to use all your strength and don't hold back, otherwise it will attract more ghost fish and insects, and it will be difficult for us to escape."
A dozen monks were talking in low voices.
Their cultivation level has risen from the fifth level of Qi Condensation to the eighth level of Qi Condensation. At this moment, they are all staring at the ghost fish insects in the distance, waiting for them to be full.
There is no absolute good and evil, right and wrong in the world of cultivation, nor is there eternal opposition and hatred, unless it is a life-and-death feud or a blood feud. Even in the latter, there are people who can temporarily put it aside and work together.
Temporarily giving up some things for the sake of higher interests is the first lesson a cultivator should learn if he wants to survive in the cruel world of cultivation.
Demon Valley, Guanglan City and the final island, Demon Island.
These three places gather almost 90% of the cultivators in Jingwu Kingdom.
They were well aware of the dangers of this place. After entering, while exploring carefully, they were also looking for like-minded monks to travel together and gain benefits together.
Some monks team up to hunt other monks, and some monks team up to hunt for treasure.
These dozen or so monks are the latter.
Even before entering the Demon Valley, they didn't know each other at all and were strangers.
At this moment, while waiting for the ghost fish worm to fill its stomach, the chubby young man in the crowd secretly looked around and thought to himself, "The Earth Demon Valley is vast and boundless, but there is no guarantee that other cultivators will not come here."
"It should be a quick and decisive battle."
Seeing that the surroundings were still calm, his eyes flashed. Without looking at the others, he looked again at the ghost fish worm that was tearing at the flesh and blood: "Everyone can get at least one ghost fish worm."
"But... humph, my cultivation isn't that high among these people. After I get the Ghost Fish Worm, there's no guarantee that someone won't be tempted to kill me and rob me."
"Cooperation is temporary, betrayal is forever."
"We have to be on guard."
The other monks had the same plan in mind. Although they appeared friendly on the surface, they were actually secretly on guard.
The burly young boy didn't know that while he was on guard against other monks, a pair of eyes were fixed on his face from behind a huge rock a mile away.
Xue Kong had arrived here a long time ago. What surprised him was that someone had discovered it in such a remote place.
It is enough to see that there are a large number of cultivators in the Demon Valley, and they may be spread everywhere.
"Liu family's Asan." Xue Kong murmured in his heart.
