No one expected that Lu Qianqian would be an ice-element martial cultivator.

No one expected that condensing that ice cone thing would directly pierce through and kill the Mid Fifth-Rank Great Gorilla Ape!

“Drip, drip.”

Blood drops falling from the ice point splashed on the ground, clearly audible.

The thirty-plus rogue cultivators firmly believed this was not a dream—this was real!

That Iron Bones Clanging Sect female disciple had killed the Great Gorilla Ape with a single ice-element martial technique!

In that moment.

They finally understood why the Iron Bones Clanging Sect could completely annihilate the Blazing Flame Wolves.

Just with this fairy-like female disciple alone, even a few hundred more wolves wouldn’t be enough for them to kill!

In fact, when completely annihilating the Blazing Flame Wolf pack, Lu Qianqian hadn’t even made a move—not a drop of blood had touched her clothes. The ones who acted were Li Qingyang and the others.

“Wow!”

Ling Yuanxue said worshipfully, “Big Senior Sister is so amazing!”

Ye Xingchen silently evaluated, “This woman is not to be underestimated.”

Li Qingyang and the others all exclaimed in admiration.

Truly worthy of being our Iron Bones Clanging Sect’s Big Senior Sister—her fierce life needs no explanation!

Possessing ice-element spiritual energy, condensing ice-element martial techniques, and directly annihilating a Great Gorilla Ape comparable to a Fifth-Rank Wushi.

The dominance Lu Qianqian displayed not only shocked the thirty-plus rogue cultivators but also shocked all the Iron Bones Clanging Sect junior brothers and sisters!

Jun Changxiao was very calm.

That his big disciple was an ice-element martial cultivator surprised him, but killing a Mid Fifth-Rank fierce beast didn’t surprise him—after all, she had been hiding her capabilities ever since joining the sect.

“Ding! Great Gorilla Ape hunted 1/10.”

Jun Changxiao said, “Zuiji, take the beast core, pelt, and bones—everything.”

“Yes!”

Swish! Swish!

In just a few moves, Xiao Zuiji left only a pile of ape meat behind.

Jun Changxiao led his disciples to continue forward while the rogue cultivators behind hurriedly surrounded the corpse with knives and began dividing up the Great Gorilla Ape.

The meat of a Mid Fifth-Rank fierce beast was high-grade goods. Rich people would definitely love to eat it—selling it for dozens of taels per pound should be no problem!

To emphasize again!

It wasn’t that Jun Changxiao didn’t want the meat—the spatial ring’s storage was limited.

Take the spatial ring the system gave him, for example—at most it could only hold the meat of three or four Great Gorilla Apes before being full.

The disciples’ spatial rings were all low-tier with even smaller storage capacity.

Xiao Zuiji was only storing the Great Gorilla Ape and Earth Mountain Bear pelts and bones, and it was almost full.

The training expedition had just begun.

Deeper in the valley there would definitely be even stronger fierce beasts, so storing meat that was worth far less than pelts and bones would definitely be meaningless.

The thirty-plus rogue cultivators were delighted.

This Great Gorilla Ape’s meat was at least over two thousand pounds. At ten taels per pound, cutting out fifty pounds would be worth five hundred taels!

If they encountered more awesome fierce beasts later and the Iron Bones Clanging Sect didn’t want them, they could cut them up and keep them to sell—wouldn’t the two thousand taels capital come right back?

Watching the rogue cultivators dividing up the ape meat behind them, Jun Changxiao secretly shook his head and said, “If I had known earlier, I should have prepared dozens more spatial rings to take all this meat away. Even if we don’t sell it, we could have Dudu make it into delicacies.”

The system said, “Do you think ape meat tastes good?”

“Not good.” Jun Changxiao said.

The system said, “So, forget about this meat.”

…

Jun Changxiao led his disciples to continue forward, arriving at a water pool where he ordered them to rest in place and clean the blood off their bodies.

Xiao Zuiji stood in a tree, setting up his Type 88 sniper rifle, vigilantly watching the surroundings.

Soon.

Everyone washed off the wolf blood on their bodies, then sat cross-legged together, absorbing spiritual energy to replenish the spiritual power consumed in the earlier battle.

The rogue cultivators stayed several tens of meters away, not daring to go too far, worried they might encounter sneak attacks from fierce beasts.

“Drip, drip.”

A rogue cultivator resting against a tree felt something dripping down. He instinctively raised his hand to touch it and immediately felt something sticky.

His expression changed, and he hurriedly looked up.

“Swish!”

A jade-green python opened its bloody maw and charged straight down from above!

“Ahhh—”

A scream rang out, breaking the silence.

“It’s a Jade-Eyed Snake!”

“Hou Bao has been eaten!”

“Everyone attack together and kill it!”

“Swish! Swish!”

The thirty rogue cultivators were frightened but not panicked.

They each summoned their respective swords and blades, frantically slashing at the Jade-Eyed Snake retreating up the tree.

Among these people were several First and Second-Rank Wushi with decent strength, and pooling everyone’s power together, the Mid Third-Rank snake beast was directly decapitated.

Unfortunately, when they split open the snake’s belly, the rogue cultivator named Hou Bao was completely corroded throughout his body and had thoroughly lost all signs of life.

“Alas.”

Everyone shook their heads and sighed.

Since they had entered Death Valley, it was very common for people to die at any time from fierce beast sneak attacks.

Seeing the rogue cultivator’s corpse from afar, Ling Yuanxue was so frightened she hurriedly closed her eyes.

“Listen well, everyone.”

Jun Changxiao said gravely, “This is Death Valley. There will be danger at any moment. You must all be cautious and protect yourselves well.”

He didn’t care about the life and death of rogue cultivators—after all, they were neither family nor friends.

But the disciples were all the treasures of his heart, so he definitely didn’t want them to leave their lives here.

“Mm.”

All the disciples nodded.

“Swish!”

Li Qingyang’s Cold Edge Sword flashed with sword light, cutting in half a scorpion at Ling Yuanxue’s feet that was the same color as the ground.

“That scared me to death!” Ling Yuanxue almost jumped up.

Everyone’s mouths twitched.

Although this junior sister had a small amount of courage, just now at the tunnel entrance, when she wildly bombarded the Earth Flame Wolves with her shield, she wasn’t hesitant at all!

…

Death Valley not only had powerful fierce beasts but also many small poisonous beasts like centipedes and scorpions.

Forty percent of martial artists who entered to train died from poisoning.

This was Death Valley’s truly terrifying aspect—you had to guard against both powerful fierce beasts and small poisonous fierce beasts.

“Ouch.”

Just after arriving at a certain place, Su Xiaomo sat on a moss-covered rock when the back of her hand was bitten by a very small type of ant.

Because it contained toxins, a large bump immediately swelled up.

“Damn it!”

“What kind of ant bites so painfully!”

After crushing the ant that bit her, Su Xiaomo took out an antidote pill, chewed it up, and applied it to the wound. The pain immediately lessened considerably.

When Jun Changxiao came, he had Li Luoqiu purchase essential items for wilderness training in advance.

For example, the most commonly used ordinary antidote pills.

As long as it wasn’t extremely toxic, being bitten and promptly taking or applying the pill to the wound could solve the problem very well.

Jun Changxiao thought to himself, “Do healing pills have detoxification functions?”

“No.” The system said.

Jun Changxiao knew this would be the answer.

Because if they had detoxification functions, when he gave one to Xiao Zuiji earlier, the toxins suppressing his cultivation level and spiritual roots would have already been expelled.

“Sect Master.”

Li Qingyang said, “There are two tunnel entrances ahead that should lead to two different places. Which way should we go?”

Death Valley’s terrain was quite complex, like gourds strung together one by one.

The area where Jun Changxiao and the others were located connected two gourd mouths, which then continued branching out into even more.

“Look for spiders.”

“Sect Master, spiders are everywhere.”

“Look for Small Poison Spiders.”

In Death Valley, you couldn’t just go with the flow—you had to search with purpose.

The epic quest required killing 500 Small Poison Spiders, so Jun Changxiao would definitely prioritize finding them.

Li Qingyang said, “These spiders in Death Valley all travel in groups. Finding one might mean finding a whole swarm!”

“Then we still have to find them.”

Jun Changxiao led his disciples to continue on, stopping in front of a stone wall at the end of the deep forest.

There were tunnel entrances on the left and right—one without wind, one with wind.

“Spiders fear light and often spin webs in places with light and wind.” After some thought, he pointed at the windy tunnel entrance and said, “Go this way.”

“Sect Master Jun.”

Just as he was about to move, a rogue cultivator following behind said, “The place you’re going has a poison spider nest with countless poison spiders inside!”

Jun Changxiao smiled and said, “In that case, this seat must enter.”

With that, he led his disciples into the tunnel entrance.

“This…”

The rogue cultivators’ mouths twitched.

Aside from spider silk having some use, nothing on those disgusting things called poison spiders was worth any money.

Why would the Iron Bones Clanging Sect want to go in? Weren’t they afraid of stirring up a hornet’s nest and being attacked by tens of thousands of poison spiders?
