Chapter 125: All the Way East, Unstoppable

After catching a lot of fish, Hu Jiujiu started a fire to cook fish soup for Li Yuanqing and roasted fish for him to eat.

Li Yuanqing sat comfortably by the river and checked if the voice transmission device could still receive messages. As soon as he turned it on, he saw someone exclaim in surprise that he was especially lucky today as he found some fruits in the wild that could be drunk as water and fill his stomach at the same time. The key was that they tasted good. It was sour and slightly bitter. But it was an acceptable taste.

There were also people who said excitedly that they had found the roots of some plants today. There was a lot of starch in them that could be cooked and eaten. The taste was still alright. There were even people who said that they had cut down a lot of wood today and could be exchanged for some spirit stones. Spirit stones could be exchanged for some water.

...

Since he could see these messages meant that he could receive messages even from such a distance. This was a surprise to Li Yuanqing.

The sect that refined the voice transmission device back then was really powerful. One had to know that he had already walked an unknown distance. After a few months of trekking, this voice transmission device could still be used. It was really delightful.

Li Yuanqing decided to take some out some fish to exchange when he noticed that there were still many lively fish on the shore and that the Man-eating Vine was still catching fish, not to mention that there were quite a number of fish in the river in his domain.

After all, fish were not common in the Catacombs.

Therefore, after Li Yuanqing sent out a message that he had fish that could be bought with spirit stones, the lively topic on the voice transmission device immediately changed. Everyone’s attention was attracted by Li Yuanqing’s fish.

After all, it was difficult to even drink water in the Wasteland. How could there be fish?

More importantly, many of the martial artists who came to the Catacombs had a very high status in their original small world. They had seen and eaten fish before. After coming to the Catacombs, this kind of food became a memory.

However, it was fine if he did not mention it. Once he did, many people became excited.

“Fish. I haven’t eaten fish for thirty to forty years. I thought that I would only be able to eat fish after leaving the Catacombs. I didn’t expect that there would be fish to exchange. Almighty, I’ll exchange it. How about ten spirit stones for a fish?”

A martial artist rushed to bid. Although ten spirit stones was not a small amount, the fish in the Catacombs were much more precious than spirit stones. After he came to the Catacombs, he had never eaten fish again. The legendary fish only existed in his memories.

“Me too, me too. Almighty, can you give me one too?”

Some people realized what was going on and hurriedly shouted, afraid that they would not be able to exchange for fish if they were a step too late. Some people were even considering raising the price. After all, there were even fewer fish. How could there be many fish in this place?

One or two at most was already the limit. It might be fish that 00001 had risked his life to obtain and then took out one or two to exchange for spirit stones.

There might not be any more of this opportunity once they missed it.

“Ten spirit stones for a fish. You can have as many as you want. Oh, right, the smallest fish is ten pounds. If you want to exchange, just call me!”

Li Yuanqing could smell the fragrance of roasted fish. The quality of this river water was not bad. The fish it raised were big and fat. There were many fish that weighed more than ten pounds. Moreover, these fish smelled good and tasted even better than meat.

Li Yuanqing’s shout made some of the martial artists especially excited. They had thought that a small fish that weighed half a pound would be exchanged for ten spirit stones. Who knew that it would weigh more than ten pounds?

This fish was too worth it. It was not much more expensive than meat. But they have eaten meat for so many years, this was the first time they had eaten fish after they came to the catacomb.

Ten spirit stones. Exchange, exchange, exchange!

“Almighty, I’m so envious. I want to exchange it for a fish. I’m fine with a smaller one. Can you help me kill the fish? I don’t have much water here, please!”

This time, the one who exchanged with Li Yuanqing was 00006. Li Yuanqing had a deep impression of this martial artist because he knew how to refine medicinal pills. The medicinal pills he refined were exchanged for many spirit stones. He could be considered rich on the voice transmission device. However, he had never eaten the most ordinary fish before.

Everyone knew that the Catacombs lacked water. If they wanted to eat fish, they had to have a water source. It did not rain in the Wasteland of the Catacombs for many years. Even if there was some underground water, it would be difficult for the underground water to raise fish. It was already good enough that he had water to drink, so how could he expect to have fish?

This was the main reason why the martial artists in the Catacombs could not see or eat fish at all.

“Alright, eleven spirit stones for a cleaned fish that weighs more than ten pounds!”

Li Yuanqing raised the price again. However, even though the price had increased, many people still chose the cleaned fish. After Hu Jiujiu finished roasting the meat, she was busy killing fish again.

On the other hand, many martial artists chose to trade for fish.

A martial artist who was looking for a spirit stone mine somewhere saw this message. He originally planned to rest for a while, but he couldn’t sit still anymore. They were lacking spirit stones more than ever.

This big shot really liked to use spirit stones to exchange for everything. He had to keep working and look for spirit stone mines!

It was easier to find ores.

At the thought of this, this martial artist continued to move through the low and dark mine. He used his spirit pet to scout the way ahead. Then, he used special tools to continuously dig. As long as there was spirit ore, he would immediately notice it.

Thinking that he could occasionally dig up one or two spirit stones a day, this martial artist felt especially satisfied. After all, one spirit stone could be exchanged for a few pots of water. With this water source, it was enough for him to use for a month. The remaining twenty-nine days of spirit stones that he had dug up could be saved up for cultivation.

Or he could just take it out and exchange it with others. This way, his cultivation speed would be much faster than ordinary people.

However, mining for spirit stones did not yield results every day. Occasionally, there would be accidents. This was because not only were spirit stones attractive to humans, but they were also very attractive to some mutated beasts and even little demons.

A scream sounded. The martial artist was shocked because his pet had already cut off its connection with him. There seemed to be no sign of life. The martial artist hesitated for a moment.

Should he rush forward to check what had happened to his pet?

However, when he rushed forward, he never returned. The profile picture on the voice transmission device also dimmed. Such things actually happen every day.

No one cared too much. It was too easy for a person to die in the Catacombs.

On the other side of the cave, a figure also appeared. That figure quickly searched the supplies on this martial artist’s body. When he saw that he only had dozens or hundreds of spirit stones, the figure was a little disappointed.

However, the voice transmission device quickly caught his attention. After some attempts, the original gray image on the voice transmission lit up again, although the number was still the same.

However, the original person was already lying on the ground, no longer breathing.

Li Yuanqing exchanged more than ten fish for more than a hundred spirit stones. To Li Yuanqing, who had just eaten a meal of grilled fish, it really did not take much time and was not dangerous.

Li Yuanqing was in a good mood after obtaining more than a hundred spirit stones out of thin air. He felt that the Catacombs was actually not bad and was very suitable for people like him to live in.

There was already a river here. If he walked further east, he might see a completely different scene from the Wasteland.

On the voice transmission device, someone was sending a message to Li Yuanqing, asking him where he had obtained these fish or where he had found the water source.

Li Yuanqing thought for a moment and only said one sentence.

“All the way east!”

00006 had actually told him this. However, even if 00006 knew, he would not dare to walk all the way east. He was only half-believing and half-doubting. No one would believe him that there were green trees and a wide river when they headed east.

Many people thought that Li Yuanqing was joking. They even felt that if it were them, they would not tell the truth at this time. After all, the underground water with fish was too precious. Even if they lost their lives, no one would be willing to say it out loud.

In the following period of time, almost all the martial artists on the voice transmission device had reached a tacit understanding. They could exchange for water from Li Yuanqing at any time and buy big fish from him at any time. Big fish that weighed more than ten pounds.

As long as you had spirit stones, you could obtain many things that you didn’t even dare to think about before.

00001 had single-handedly changed the thoughts of everyone in the entire Catacombs’ Wasteland or their survival model. It also made countless martial artists yearn for him.

After all, while everyone was still worrying about water, food, and spirit stones, Li Yuanqing could already sell water, fish, and food. The difference was extraordinary.

The voice transmission device was filled with emotions again. However, no one expected Li Yuanqing to go to the legendary town. Only 00006 was looking forward to it in his heart. However, he could not believe that his guess was true.

After all, that was only an existence close to a legend. For so many years, no martial artist from the Catacombs had ever gone to that place. Or perhaps, no martial artist from a small world had ever been to that place.

He headed east, unstoppable!

With a goal in mind, Li Yuanqing headed towards the east. After walking for more than a month, Li Yuanqing unexpectedly encountered a group of hunters when he was resting at the foot of a mountain.

No, to be precise, it was a group of demons that had transformed into human form.

When those demons saw Li Yuanqing and Hu Jiujiu, they were also a little surprised. Hu Jiujiu was a demon, while Li Yuanqing was obviously a human. However, although it was rare to see a human and a demon in the Catacombs, it was not unheard of.

Moreover, Li Yuanqing and the others gave these demons the feeling that humans were the pets or vassals of demons.

After all, the Catacombs were dominated by demons. Humans were still at the bottom of the food chain. They had never heard of a human being being more powerful than demons because the environment of the Catacombs naturally restricted the development of human strength.

And the demons had gained a huge advantage here.

Therefore, many small groups formed by humans and demons were dominated by demons, while humans were vassals. Humans could be the pets of demons.

When those demons saw Hu Jiujiu’s beauty, they still greeted her warmly although it was a little abrupt to encounter her in the wild. Then, some of them wanted to get closer to her, but when they saw Hu Jiujiu’s unapproachable expression, they could only hesitate.

One of the male demons who thought that his strength and appearance were not bad took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Hu Jiujiu.

“Hey, did you also receive a mission? What are you looking for? Perhaps we’ve seen it before. I can tell you that your pet looks very clean. Even if it’s weaker, it’s still acceptable. I hate dirty humans the most…”

The male demon was very tall, about 1.9 meters tall. When he saw Hu Jiujiu often looking at Li Yuanqing, he thought that she cared a lot about her pet, so he specially praised Li Yuanqing. In his opinion, it was already a great honor for a noble demon like him to praise a human for being clean.

He only wanted to strike up a conversation with Hu Jiujiu, but he didn’t expect Hu Jiujiu to look at him with a faint smile. In her heart, she felt that this male demon was too bold. He actually dared to speak in such a tone. He had really lived long enough.

“You’re really courageous, aren’t you?” Hu Jiujiu couldn’t help but laugh when she saw the male demon move closer to her.

However, she was misunderstood by the male demon. He thought that Hu Jiujiu was praising him for being bold enough to flirt with Hu Jiujiu. However, he did not know that Hu Jiujiu meant that she dared to face Li Yuanqing and seduce his spirit pet.

“I’m naturally bold when I see a beautiful lady. What kind of clansman are you? Why did you choose a human as your spirit pet when you look so beautiful? It’s really an insult to you. I can help you capture a spirit pet in the Catacombs or buy one in town. As long as…”

When the male demon said this, his eyes kept darting around. He did not notice that his feet had been covered in vines. His eyes were fixed on Hu Jiujiu, and his soul was almost taken away.

Hu Jiujiu only smiled. She was guessing when her master would attack.

One, two, three, four…

It was not until she counted to ten that she saw the Man-Eating Vine instantly entangle the male demon with a whoosh. Caught off guard, the male demon was already tightly trapped and his entire body began to bleed. This made him turn pale with fright as he shouted for help to his companions.

He struggled with all his might, but he was covered in blood after struggling a few times. Moreover, when the vines saw the blood, they tried their best to burrow into his body. He was so frightened that his soul almost left his body.

A trident suddenly flew out and desperately aimed at the roots of the Man-eating Vine, wanting to cut it off with it. However, the Man-eating Vine had evolved some of the characteristics of the Immortal Binding Rope. Not only was it extremely hard, but it was also impossible to cut off.

Some of his companions ran away when they saw that something was wrong. Some of them wanted to save him, but when they looked around, they saw that the surroundings were filled with buzzing ants the size of bowls.

It was overwhelming. Could it be that they had poked an ant nest?

In the face of danger, no one was willing to save the male demon. After all, they were not very familiar with each other. When a couple was in danger, they would fly away separately, let alone some friends who were in a temporary team.

The male demon screamed and fainted.

Li Yuanqing did not take the male demon’s life. He only made him suffer some pain. At the same time, he also figured out the specific direction of the town and some things about it.

Because that was where this male demon had come from.
