Cultivate, Sign In, And Be Rewarded Handsomely

Chapter 122: Market

“Stay behind me!”

Li Yuanqing gestured for Big Wolf to follow behind him. He silently released those flying ants. Even in the night, the movements of the apple-sized flying ants were not affected.

Moreover, they had grown larger and their numbers had increased. They began to scout the surroundings with Li Yuanqing as the center. Soon, news spread that a group of scouts had encountered an enemy.

When the group of flying ants encountered the enemy, the remaining flying ants seemed to have received a signal and flew over in the blink of an eye, suppressing the dozens of black things that were the size of pugs that had already fallen to the ground.

There were many of them. Their sharp mouths revealed their fangs, and their entire faces were like enlarged rats. However, they could fly. This thing looked like the bats that Li Yuanqing had seen in his previous life, but it was even more terrifying than those bats.

Because it was bigger and had a stronger flying ability, even Big Wolf was ambushed. If not for the fact that there were so many flying ants that caught them off guard, they might not have been able to suppress these things.

“Wait, leave a few behind and don’t kill them all!”

When Li Yuanqing saw this species, he thought about the domain that had already expanded many times. He quickly threw more than ten of these bats into the domain and recalled the flying ants.

These flying bats were very excited after entering the domain, but they soon realized that there were countless flying ants here. They had suffered at the hands of the flying ants, so they were obedient and did not dare to move.

They did not dare to act rashly and could only hide obediently. After all, they could not even fill the gaps between the flying ants’ teeth.

On the way back, Li Yuanqing encountered a few more mutated beasts. However, he got Big Wolf leading the way. So he even chose a few species that he liked and threw them into his domain.

After all, he was the true king of the domain. He was very surprised by some of the species that appeared in the catacombs. For example, there were animals that looked like rabbits which were fat and half the height of a person. Big Wolf was very excited when he saw this species because this was their main food in the catacombs.

Although these animals ran very fast, they did not have much offensive power. The key was that there were many of them. They were delicious food that was difficult to forget.

Li Yuanqing threw the rabbit into the domain as well. The moment it entered the domain, it was extremely surprised, especially when it saw a huge river at the bottom of the Yufu Mountain. On the two sides of the river, there was lush grass half the height of a person. It rolled around happily on the grass and dug holes. Soon, it created its home on the grass.

Li Yuanqing was a little happy with the actions of these animals, so he simply called them rabbits.

With these rabbits, he didn’t have to worry about the food of animals like werewolves in this domain. They would choose to find food and be self-sufficient. This domain would soon form a small world that belonged to him.

Li Yuanqing was very happy to see this.

When he returned to the werewolf village, he was still very happy. He even had the time to pick up the voice transmission device to take a look because to other humans, it was time to rest after dark. It was too dangerous in the Catacombs after dark. They should be careful. It was safer to go out during the day.

Therefore, the voice transmission device was very lively at this moment. They were all people exchanging supplies. There were also some people chatting to pass the long night to get rid of the loneliness in their hearts. Of course, there were even more martial artists who were still cultivating and meditating to work hard to increase their strength.

Li Yuanqing looked at the supplies exchanged by others. They were really not attractive to him. Fortunately, someone was privately chatting with him. He said that he knew how to refine the pill made from the black-and-white bear’s bones, which could allow a martial artist’s strength to not be suppressed in the dark.

Li Yuanqing was very interested in these things. He simply made an exchange with that person and asked him to help refine the black-and-white bear’s bones. Meanwhile, he flipped through Lin Ping’s travelogue in boredom and quickly saw what he was interested in.

It turned out that this catacombs was only a place that was connected to countless small worlds. If one had the ability to walk out of the catacombs or find an exit of the catacombs, they could pass through the catacombs and arrive at another small world.

There were countless small worlds in Lin Ping’s travelogue, and they all had descriptions of those small worlds. There were descriptions of the Demon Realm, the Human Realm, and some of the Catacombs. Some of the places in the Catacombs had markets and towns.

There, there were humans, devils, demons, and all kinds of strange beasts living together. However, if they entered the market or town, they had to have a fixed residence and pay some spirit stones on time before they could stay in the market.

Of course, the residents living in the market could have more resources. For example, plants that were rarely seen in the Catacombs, as well as materials that could be used to refine pills and weapons.

More importantly, even at night in the market, one could walk around freely and exchange with different species of people.

If one did not consider the importance of strength, there would be a feeling of equality in the market or in the town. This was because if one caused trouble in the market, they would be killed by the manager of the market.

“This looks like a good place to go!”

Li Yuanqing looked at the records of the Catacombs market or the castle in Lin Ping’s travelogue and felt a little yearning in his heart. However, he did not know how strong he was and if he could go to the market safely.

Moreover, according to Lin Ping’s book, those markets were all gathered at the core of the Catacombs. It was unknown how far away they were from the Wasteland he was in.

This catacomb was tens of thousands of kilometers away from the original Northern Kingdom.

Li Yuanqing quickly sent a message on the voice transmission device.

“Anyone who knows the way to the market can chat privately. Name your price. You can exchange for meat, water, spirit stones, pets, or black-and-white bear’s bones!”

Lin Ping’s travelogue did not record the route to the market in detail. It only said that it was very, very far. It was only after Lin Ping had been in the Wasteland for more than ten years that he accidentally barged into the market and found out that the market and castle existed in the Catacombs.

Over ten years?

Li Yuanqing felt that more than ten years was a little long. Since Lin Ping had been to the market before, someone might know about the existence of the market on this voice transmission device. Therefore, he wanted to go to the market to take a look.

This Wasteland was not worth challenging to him.

The moment Li Yuanqing said this, many martial artists’ eyes widened. Boss 00001 is really generous. The meat, water, spirit stones, pets, and black-and-white bear’s bones that everyone needed the most were all extremely precious. Because these were the things that they needed the most to survive in the Catacombs.

However, putting aside the fact that Boss 00001 had all of them, he had already begun to try exploring places other than the Catacombs’ Wasteland. It was really enviable. The gap was getting bigger and bigger.

“I’ve never heard of a market before. The Catacombs are so dangerous at night. How can there be a market? Could there be a mistake?”

“We can’t even find one person when we’re active in the catacombs. Could it be that someone has gathered and formed a market? If that’s the case, that would be great. I also want to go to the market and stay there…”

“Please bring me along. I want to go to the market too, but I really don’t know where the market is now.”

…

Li Yuanqing saw that there were quite a number of people who replied via voice transmission. However, many of them did not know where the market was at all. They did not know anything. Everyone was just envious of his conditions, but they did not dare to say anything.

Li Yuanqing was a little disappointed!

However, one person quickly caught his attention. It was a number 00006.

“I have a route to the market. It’s very far and not easy to walk. It might take a few months to pass through the Catacombs. Moreover, there are many mutated beasts in the Wasteland. It’s very dangerous. I’m afraid that before you reach the market, you’ll die without a corpse, so you have to be careful!”

This 00006 seemed to have some understanding of the market. Li Yuanqing quickly chatted with him privately, but he received a message from him.

“East, all the way east. Hold on. Soon you’ll see the market, because I once met an old man who said he once saw the outline of the market, but in the end, he was in danger. Later, he died…”

Number 00006 also said that the direction where the sun came out of the catacombs was the east.

If he followed the direction of the sun’s light, he could reach the market. However, this journey might take years, or even a dozen years, because water and food were important things in the Wasteland.

Especially water sources. Sometimes, one would deviate from your original plan because they were looking for water sources. In addition, the Wasteland to the market was very, very far away. If one deviated from the route, they would not know when they could reach it.

Perhaps, more than that, they would never arrive.

This was because the closer they were to the east, the more dangerous it was. There were countless mutated beasts that could kill them at any time. Furthermore, the night in the catacombs was much longer than during the day.

Moreover, there were four seasons in the Catacombs.

It was still spring. When the hardest summer came, it would be even harder for people to survive because there was an extreme lack of water here.

Water sources would become the most difficult problem to solve here.

There was also food, as well as countless dangers. Especially when every night came, it would cause people to lose their lives. They would die silently and become the food of some beast.

Then, death would erase all traces of the Wasteland of the Catacombs that they had been to.

It was too dangerous. It was even more dangerous than staying in the Wasteland. Therefore, almost no one would think about leaving the Catacombs Wasteland and going to the market or town.

“All the way east? If it’s fast, how long will it take? Will a few months be enough?”

Li Yuanqing was still more interested in the market. After all, there were too few people in the Wasteland. Although he had signed in a few times, he felt that there was no challenge here.

In Lin Ping’s travelogue, there was a description of the market and town. It gave Li Yuanqing the feeling that it was a little like the place where he lived in his previous life. However, the residents there were not all humans, but many races.

Moreover, the races, demons, werewolves, and even human martial artists who lived in the market were basically at the top of the Catacombs. They were very powerful, many times stronger than him, who was at the Grotto-Heaven Realm.

After Li Yuanqing arrived at the catacombs, his realm was still at the first-stage Grotto-Heaven Realm. He could barely touch the second-stage Grotto-Heaven Realm, but he had yet to advance and was still waiting for an opportunity.

He did not know when this opportunity would come, so Li Yuanqing wanted to leave the Wasteland and go to town. He felt that there were more opportunities there.

Moreover, he would be able to understand the entire Catacombs better there.

Perhaps he could also sign in and obtain more things. In fact, Li Yuanqing was deliberately throwing things into the domain now, constantly expanding his entire domain. In this domain, he had the joy of creation.

In this domain, he was the ultimate king.

“I don’t know. A few months shouldn’t be enough. If you can get there in a few years, you’ll be very lucky. If you’re lucky, you might survive. I feel that you’re probably the strongest among us…”

The martial artist with the number 00006 thought for a moment. Li Yuanqing with the number 00001 was really too powerful.

To others, this was the most difficult thing to do. To him, it was not a problem at all. He was countless times stronger than everyone else. He could live better in the Catacombs. Perhaps, in a few years, he could really walk to the market alive.

If he wanted to.

Li Yuanqing smiled and ignored the people on the voice transmission device. He only asked 00006 to refine pills for him. He said that he had many, many black-and-white bears’ bones.

In the following days, Li Yuanqing adjusted his direction and walked towards the east.

He kept walking east. Li Yuanqing left Big Wolf in this spirit stone mine because there were still some spirit stones on this mountain that had not been excavated. These werewolves lived inside and were nourished by the spirit stones.

Their advancement would be very fast.

This huge spirit stone mine would become the greatest paradise for wolves. It would allow this group of werewolves to evolve and the water source at the Grand Canyon had solved the problem of these werewolves drinking water.

It wouldn’t be long before these werewolves’ population would grow stronger, and all their strength would rise to another level. If they were lucky, the Big Wolf would sweep through this area with his clansmen and become the king of the Wasteland.

Big Wolf sent Li Yuanqing far away and followed him for a few days. He guarded outside at night and helped him drive away some ignorant mutated beasts. However, a few days later, Li Yuanqing still gestured for Big Wolf to stay.

He touched Big Wolf’s head and handed him a bag of spirit stones. After thinking for a moment, he gave him a dozen flying ants to protect himself. They could be considered some backup plans that he had left for Big Wolf.

There was no wolf and flying ants combination in the Wasteland yet. These flying ants were raised by Big Wolf. As long as he controlled them well, they would become his help in the future.

It would also become a trump card in the hands of the Big Wolf. No one would expect a werewolf to have flying ants by his side.

Big Wolf knelt down with tears in his eyes and howled at Li Yuanqing. He crawled on the ground and was unwilling to get up for a long time. However, Li Yuanqing still left. He looked at the red sun in the east and Li Yuanqing departing back.

Looking at the clansmen behind him and the flying ants under his feet, Big Wolf swore that he would definitely become the king of this place and forever be the closest to his master!
