Cultivate, Sign In, And Be Rewarded Handsomely

Chapter 124: Another Scene

By the river, the Man-eating Vine’s vines were climbing everywhere, especially at a bend in the river. The vines were as tall as one or two people, and it was impossible to imagine that Li Yuanqing was resting inside.

At night in the Catacombs, the Man-eating Vines would easily disguise themselves as a large patch of green plants. By the river, there was a large patch of vines. Although it was dense, it did not look too out of place.

This was because the river was almost filled with lush plants. Occasionally, some of them would grow happily. This was not very strange.

Li Yuanqing was in the house woven from man-eating vines. He listened to the sound of water flowing in his ears and looked at the voice transmission. There were still people asking to buy water and looking for food.

These martial artists were still in the Wasteland of the Catacombs. They were still in the dry and dehydrated Wasteland, silently waiting for the day to arrive.

They definitely did not know that there was such a green place in the east of the catacombs.

“Boss, are you still there? I want to buy water. I have food, some spirit stones, ores, and spirit pets. You can exchange for anything you need!”

Someone sent a private message to Li Yuanqing. It turned out that 00006 was asking him for some water.

After all, Li Yuanqing was the most generous person on the entire voice transmission device, especially the water source. One spirit stone could be exchanged for five pots of clean water. This price was already abnormally cheap compared to other people.

After all, not long ago, one spirit stone could only be exchanged for two pots.

“There’s no limit to the supply of water today. One spirit stone for six pots of water, ten pots of water for one ordinary spirit pet. The price would increase if there’s some higher grade one. Travelogues or things with written records or things that I’ve never seen before can be exchanged for water with me in private…”

There was a small river under Li Yuanqing’s feet, and the water inside was splashing. If he used a kettle, it would be almost endless. He did not even need to get up himself. As long as he let the Man-eating Vine extend a vine into the river, there would be countless jugs of water.

In the Catacombs, it was not easy to obtain spirit stones and spirit pets, especially spirit stones. They needed to mine and kill some of the mutated beasts that were entrenched beside the spirit stone mine.

These required considerable strength or luck. It required one to risk their life.

However, on the voice transmission device, one spirit stone was exchanged for two kettles of water in the past. Furthermore, they were limited in supply. Today, he suddenly had an unlimited supply, causing the voice transmission device to become lively. Although some martial artists did not crave for water, they were still very tempted.

How cheap! Even if they didn’t need it now, they could exchange it for something he wanted with a flip of their hands. He could still earn money!

Li Yuanqing saw many martial artists exchanging water with him. 00006 used five spirit stones to exchange for 30 pots of water. 00018 used a high-level spirit pet to exchange for 20 pots of water. 00036 used spirit stones to exchange for 100 pots of water. 10030 used a local book “Drawings of Devils and Demons in Catacombs” to exchange for ten pots of water…

Li Yuanqing smiled faintly when he saw such information. Although there were many kettles of water, the water source in the river in front of him did not decrease at all.

On the other hand, he had obtained more than a hundred spirit stones, a high-level spirit pet, some food, and some illustrations of the demons in the catacombs. The illustrations even mentioned that in the depths of the catacombs, mutated beasts turned into demons, and demons turned into humans to form another world.

In another world, although everyone looked like they were in human form, there were actually more demons who cultivated or high-level mutated beasts that could transform.

Li Yuanqing was interested when he saw this.

The night was even darker now. There was a commotion by the river. It turned out to be two people. Although the two of them were in human form, their facial hair covered their entire faces. Their chests were exposed, but a large piece of animal skin was covering their bodies.

They were at least one to two meters tall. After they stood by the river and took a look, they suddenly screamed. As the scream spread far and wide in the night, it did not take long for them to hear chaotic hissing.

It turned out that there was a large pride of lions behind them. When a hundred lions appeared, some of the sounds by the river disappeared.

In the distance, there were also vicious beasts coming over to drink water. At this moment, they had all hidden themselves and were waiting patiently, no longer approaching the river.

After all, there were demons that could transform in this pride. This meant that this pride should be extremely powerful nearby. If they didn’t want to die, they had to retreat obediently.

The pride was drinking water leisurely. Some of them were even less than ten meters away from the vines. However, they did not realize that Li Yuanqing was still among the vines, including the two little demons who had already transformed.

In Lin Ping’s travelogue, it was recorded that ferocious beasts could advance into vicious beasts, vicious beasts could advance into mutated beasts, mutated beasts could transform, and those who had just transformed could transform into Little Demons. Little Demons could advance into Greater Demons, and Greater Demons could advance into Demon Kings. Greater Demons were the overlords of a region.

Among them, Little Demons corresponded to human martial artists at the Grotto-Heaven Realm, Greater Demons corresponded to the Spirit Transformation Realm, and the Demon King was at the Formation Arrangement Realm. This was also the reason why human martial artists were ranked last in the Catacombs.

Many human martial artists only had the strength of a Little Demon that was transformed from a mutated beast. However, it was not easy for a mutated beast to transform. This was the first time Li Yuanqing had seen a Little Demon transform since he came to the catacombs.

No wonder there was an introduction in the travelogue and illustrated handbook. It was said that most of the people gathered in the market were Little Demons in human form. There were also human martial artists with cultivation levels at the Grotto-Heaven Realm living among them. The Catacombs also respected strength. Be it humans or demons, as long as they followed the rules of the Catacombs, they could coexist peacefully.

On the side of the tribe, the two Little Demons did not have any qualms when they spoke. When they were lying by the river, they actually talked about the division of labor in the future. One of the little demons said that he would leave the pride to his younger brother in the future. He wanted to go and explore.

Moreover, if the entire race wanted to develop, it was best to live in a town. There were strange things from various small worlds there. There were also medicinal pills or rare treasures that could help them evolve and advance.

That was their final destination.

The other lion demon seemed to disagree.

“Brother, you shouldn’t leave. Us brothers are invincible here. We have already transformed and have all kinds of resources. This is better than anything. Even if we can’t advance for the time being, we can live a carefree life here…”

The lion demon, which was smaller, was a little unhappy. They were already the kings of a region here.

They had yet to see anyone who could threaten them.

It was so comfortable to be so carefree. Why would he want to go to town? If he went there, he would just be an ordinary resident who had to pay spirit stones and taxes every month. How could he be as carefree as he was here?

“The world is too big. The Catacombs are connected to countless small worlds. Only by going to town will we be able to see more things. We will be able to be kings here for the rest of our lives. If we don’t accumulate enough resources, we might all die when an accident happens. Since we have already transformed, our lives and deaths naturally can’t be controlled by others…”

Li Yuanqing agreed with the words of the other lion demon. He did not expect such a smart demon to have been transformed from a mutated beast.

This made Li Yuanqing yearn for the town even more. He headed east, in a good direction. One day he would walk over and find the place he was looking for.

When the pride left, Li Yuanqing quietly brought a few lions into his domain. He always had this feeling. He had walked through countless places and expanded his domain. Although the increase in his realm was very slow, there were more and more species in his domain.

Perhaps, one day, his domain would become a small world!

After the lions left, many mutated beasts came to the river to drink water. Sometimes, a few groups would come and drink together upstream or downstream of the river. Occasionally, there would be some bloody things happening in the dark, but Li Yuanqing did not take action.

He would only casually bring a few into his domain when he saw a species that he liked. Fortunately, Li Yuanqing’s domain had been expanded. Otherwise, his domain might not be able to contain them if there were more species.

When he arrived at the Catacombs, there was actually something that made Li Yuanqing a little depressed. He was like a fish in water here and he did not have any restrictions on himself at night.

However, his realm had been maintained at the first-stage Grotto-Heaven Realm, and he had not improved at all.

If not for the fact that the Man-eating Vine and the flying ants under his control had been advancing and allowing him to live comfortably in this dangerous cave, he would probably be covered in wounds.

“How strange. Could it be that the Catacombs restrict the realm of martial artists? Or is there some secret?”

Li Yuanqing had his doubts about the situation where his cultivation level did not increase, but the strength of the pets he controlled kept increasing. However, he did not find an answer for the time being. He did not think too much about it either. He only wanted to find the town and see what was going on with the other human martial artists.

After all, on the voice transmission device, many human martial artists said that after coming to the Catacombs, their strength was less than half of their original strength. At night, they would be suppressed even more. Therefore, Li Yuanqing’s situation should be especially good.

After all, his strength had not decreased significantly, he just hadn’t advanced.

The night passed quickly. When dawn broke, the Man-eating Vine’s vines automatically retracted, revealing Li Yuanqing, who was surrounded in the middle. He stretched lazily and cleaned himself up. Then, he looked at the rising sun in the east and continued walking forward.

This time, as he headed east, there was less and less yellow soil. However, there were more and more water sources and rivers. In fact, a few days later, he saw a large river blocking his path.

The river was seven to eight meters wide, which was rare. The clear river water meandered towards the west, and there were many big trees by the river. Their branches swayed with the wind. This was the first time Li Yuanqing had seen such a scene since he entered the catacombs. He was in a daze for a moment, thinking that he had returned to his previous life.

Why did this scene look a little like Jiangnan?

The martial artists on the voice transmission device would never have dreamed that there was such a beautiful place in the catacombs.

If he hadn’t wanted to go to town and head east, regardless of day or night, he probably wouldn’t have been able to see this unforgettable scene. Li Yuanqing felt a little emotional. He didn’t expect that the environment would change so much even though the Catacombs were huge.

He had originally thought that the catacombs were like what he had seen at the beginning. The endless yellow sand and rocks that were lacking water to the extreme. There was no water source anywhere, and there were killings everywhere.

There were vicious beasts and mutated beasts everywhere, and not a single human could be seen.

However, he had been traveling east for a few months. If ordinary martial artists encountered any mutated beasts on the way, they would probably not be able to escape. Moreover, there were too many such things along the way.

It was so common that Li Yuanqing did not take it to heart.

He got the flying ants leading at the front and the Man-eating Vine always on standby by his side. Even when he occasionally rested at night, the Man-eating Vine would disguise itself. Moreover, he had a domain on him. There were many mutated beasts, water, food, spirit stones, and so on in his domain. These were enough to give him the confidence to head east.

If ordinary martial artists wanted to head east, they might not be able to reach this place even after walking for a few years. Moreover, they did not know that there was such a scene tens of thousands of kilometers away from the catacombs.

Li Yuanqing came to the river and placed his hand on the cold water. Not only was the water in the river extremely clear, but there were also many swimming fish. Hu Jiujiu jumped into the water and soon, there were fish jumping around. She threw them on the riverbank.

There were two to three fish, ranging from palm-sized fish to fish weighing dozens of kilograms. More than ten fish were piled up on the shore at once. This made Li Yuanqing, who had not eaten fish for a long time, a little happy.

He might as well let the Man-eating Vine dive into the water to catch fish.

The man-eating vines were rooted in the soil on the shore. Then, countless light red vines extended out and moved through the water. When they saw a school of fish, they quickly reached out and grabbed them.

Although the slippery fish caught the Man-eating Vine off guard, the fish in the river were in trouble after Li Yuanqing taught it how to weave a net with vines.

Groups of them were caught by the Man-eating Vines. There were more than a thousand of them. Li Yuanqing threw them into his domain and placed them into the river.

After staying in the catacombs for the past few days, he had never smelled fish before. It just so happened that there was a river in his domain. With water, fish could grow. Those fish could still jump around when thrown in.

In the future, he would not lack fish no matter where he went in the Catacombs.

Hu Jiujiu’s entire body was immersed in the river water, and there was no trace of her for a long time. When Li Yuanqing called her again, Hu Jiujiu, who was dressed in red and had transformed into a human form, stood in front of him.

“Master!”

Hu Jiujiu spoke to Li Yuanqing’s luggage. It seemed that her injuries had basically healed. Compared to when she was in the Northern Kingdom, Hu Jiujiu looked even more pure and pretty.

Her original charm had fused with her pure face. Even the most picky person would be amazed by her peerless beauty.

Hu Jiujiu was injured last time and was beaten back to her original form for a long time, and now she has finally returned to her human form. This made Li Yuanqing feel good.

After all, it was difficult to even see a shadow of a person in the Catacombs. This time, he could bring Hu Jiujiu along to the market.

This made him look forward to it!
