Chapter 3438: The Magical Use of the Monster-Seeking Mirror

If he were Fairy Qunyang, severely injured with his physical body extensively damaged, he would also act the same way; it would be impossible for him to willingly accept death.

Wang Chan thoroughly investigated but found no abnormalities. Wang Changsheng expanded his spiritual sense and carefully scanned the three treasures, also finding no abnormalities. Only then did they feel at ease.

The three high-grade Heavenly Spirit Treasures were the Golden Amber Bead, the Monster-Tracking Mirror, and the Mountain-Fixing Nail. The Monster-Tracking Mirror was clearly a treasure used for finding monsters.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan immediately refined these three treasures. As expected, the Monster-Tracking Mirror was indeed used for locating monsters. Unlike the Myriad Demon Mirror of the Myriad Spirit Sect, it did not require refining monster vital blood into it. The Monster-Tracking Mirror could still detect the presence of monsters, even if they had transformed into human form.

The Ice Lion craft had similar formations that could detect the presence of powerful monsters in advance.

The Monster-Tracking Mirror was a high-grade Heavenly Spirit Treasure, so it should be able to detect the presence of eighth-tier monsters!

The Golden Amber Bead was an auxiliary treasure, its purpose currently unknown. The Mountain-Fixing Nail was an offensive treasure that could seal off the ground in a certain area, preventing enemies from escaping by burrowing.

They carefully checked and found nothing overlooked. Wang Changsheng had Wang Liao plant some fruit tree saplings with longer growth cycles in the spirit field, set up a formation, and then placed spirit stones and spirit-gathering divine crystals on it. After that, they left the area.

Not long after, the restriction was activated.

Ripples spread through the void, and the mountain disappeared.

The spiritual energy in the dojo was abundant, and it opened only once every tens of thousands of years. It could be used to cultivate spirit fruits with long growth cycles. Even if someone stumbled upon this place by mistake, they might not discover this mountain. Even if it were discovered, it wouldn't matter much; only a few saplings would be lost. This place was so hidden that outsiders would find it difficult to discover. If members of the Wang family were fortunate enough to enter the dojo again, they could come here to search for spirit fruits. It wouldn't matter if they didn't get the chance to enter the dojo again.

Ahead was a continuous mountain range. Wang Tunian activated his spiritual eyes to scout, and Wang Ruyan activated her Li Fire True Pupils to see if there were any powerful restrictions remaining.

The bee puppets scouted ahead, with the talisman soldiers following closely behind. There were no abnormalities, which made them breathe a sigh of relief, and they followed.

Three days later, they appeared in a red bamboo forest. The bamboo leaves on the ground were piled several feet thick. They wore vigilant expressions and did not move quickly.

"That's strange!" Wang Tunian wondered aloud. "Why are there no spirit medicines at all? Could they have been eaten by monsters? But we haven't found any monsters either!"

It was one thing not to find ten-thousand-year-old spirit medicines, but there were no spirit medicines of even several thousand years. There were also no traces of any monsters or any restrictions. This was truly odd.

From the Monster-Tracking Mirror in Wang Changsheng's hand came a piercing roar. Spiritual light flickered, and countless silver runes emerged on the mirror's surface, forming a silver pointer that rapidly rotated before finally pointing southwest.

Wang Tunian quickly looked southwest. After a moment, he shook his head. "Nothing detected. The monster is probably very far away."

"Let's go take a look."

Wang Changsheng put Wang Mengli and the others back into the spirit beast bracelet. He kept Wang Tunian with them, and they advanced southwest.

After traveling over three million li, they arrived at the peak of a towering mountain. Ahead was an open area where millions of Sky-Flying Bloodthirsty Ants were attacking hundreds of thousands of azure demon wolves. Large numbers of Sky-Flying Bloodthirsty Ants crawled onto the azure demon wolves, biting their bodies. One by one, the azure demon wolves fell, leaving not even bones behind. The ant queen was a low-grade eighth-tier monster, while the wolf king was a high-grade seventh-tier monster.

The ant queen opened its gaping maw and spewed out a cloud of bloody mist, enveloping the wolf king and several other seventh-tier demon wolves. They let out a mournful howl, their bodies collapsing limply.

A powerful suction force appeared out of nowhere, drawing them uncontrollably towards the ant queen.

The wolf king spewed out a fierce, gigantic wind blade, which struck the ant queen's body with a dull thud. A shallow gash appeared on the ant queen's surface.

The ant queen suddenly inhaled, and the wolf king and more than ten other seventh-tier demon wolves vanished into its mouth, swallowed whole.

As the void rippled, a massive, misty blue hand appeared out of nowhere. The blue hand had a lifelike qilin pattern on its surface. Before it even descended, the void twisted and deformed, then massive cracks appeared, as a powerful pressure enveloped the area.

The ground tore apart, with thick, long cracks appearing.

The ant queen quickly spewed a thick beam of blood-red light to meet it. The blood-red light was instantly shattered by the blue hand. The blue hand struck the ant queen's body with a dull thud, and the ant queen rapidly plummeted towards the ground.

A yellow light illuminated the ground for ten thousand li around. A powerful gravitational force appeared out of nowhere, causing the azure demon wolves' limbs to weaken and them to collapse to the ground. Large numbers of Sky-Flying Bloodthirsty Ants also fell from the sky.

A celestial melody rang out. A misty blue halo descended from the sky, covering an area of several tens of li. Before it even landed, large numbers of Sky-Flying Bloodthirsty Ants turned into blood mist. Thick, long cracks also appeared in the void.

The ant queen spewed out a blood-red sound wave to meet it. Like an egg striking a stone, the blood-red sound wave was instantly shattered by the blue halo. The blue halo swept past the ant queen's body. The ant queen let out a painful shriek and fell from mid-air, crashing heavily onto the ground. It felt as if a mountain weighing hundreds of millions of jin had been placed on its body, rendering it unable to fly.

A long staff, shimmering with white light, descended from the sky. Before it even landed, the ground around the ant queen exploded, smoke and dust filling the air. Numerous white ice shards appeared in the void, and the temperature rapidly dropped.

The ant queen tried to evade, but the gravitational force firmly bound it to the ground, making evasion impossible. It could only spew out a thick blood-red light pillar to meet the attack.

With a dull thud, the blood-red light pillar was instantly shattered, and the giant white staff smashed onto the ant queen's head.

A loud bang resounded. The ground exploded, and the giant white staff plunged into the earth. A miniature ant queen, having just detached from the main body, was immediately enveloped by a blue misty glow and swept into a blue jade bottle, disappearing from sight.

A rapid zither melody rang out. A misty blue sound wave swept forth, swiftly passing through the bodies of the Sky-Flying Bloodthirsty Ants and the demon wolves. They instantly collapsed, lifeless, and large numbers of spirits flew out.

Wang Chan and Wang Chan both moved to devour these spirits, leaving only over a hundred seventh-tier spirits to be used for refining puppet beasts.

They had a hearty meal and all burped in unison. Wang Changsheng's and Wang Ruyan's spiritual senses grew slightly.

Wang Ruyan's face was filled with confusion. "It's one thing to have eighth-tier monsters here," she exclaimed, "but even demon insects can reach the eighth tier? The cultivation resources are simply too abundant! Is this truly a Mahayana cultivator's cave dwelling?"

"It's hard to say," Wang Changsheng replied. "That's what the outside world claims, but perhaps it's a small world."

Wang Changsheng was unconcerned. He collected the corpses of the sixth-tier and higher Sky-Flying Bloodthirsty Ants and demon wolves, while the rest were fed to Wang Tunian. The demon wolves that the ant queen had swallowed were also dead, their bodies having turned into blood.

The corpse of an eighth-tier Sky-Flying Bloodthirsty Ant was suitable for refining a high-grade Heavenly Spirit Treasure. Wang Changsheng put away the ant queen's corpse and the Mountain-Fixing Nail. They then left the area.

With the Monster-Tracking Mirror in hand, they could detect eighth-tier monsters in advance, allowing them to decide whether to fight or flee.
