Chapter 2010: Long journey

The white light flashed, and the two were teleported outside a demon city square.
Around the square, there are buildings of various sizes, large and small, and there are street markets in order.
This is the Demon City of the Demon Bear Clan.
The tallest palace in the center of the demon city is the palace of the patriarch.
Shen Lang followed Xiong Hao into the palace.
The head of the Demon Bear clan wears a suit of armor, and his muscles stand like an iron tower. He is extremely strong and majestic. He is a demon cultivator in the late stage of transforming a god.
Knowing that Shen Lang was Xiong Hao's lifesaver, the head of the Demon Bear clan immediately ordered a banquet to treat Shen Lang with great hospitality.
Shen Lang directly refused, saying that he just wanted to chat with the patriarch alone.
"Thank you Daoist Shen for saving my son's life. This is all the great celestial stone in my body, so I will give it to Fellow Daoist as a reward."
The head of the Demon Bear clan hurriedly took out all the large celestial stones on his body from the storage ring, put it into a bag, and handed it to Shen Lang with both hands.
Shen Lang glanced at the giant celestial stone in the bag, there were only about a thousand, and suddenly thought that this great wasteland is indeed a barren land, and the head of the family is so poor.
Shen Lang also looked down on the 1,000 large celestial crystals, waved his hand and refused: "Shen does not need to be paid. Daoists only need to provide Shen with some information, which is the best reward."
The head of the demon bear clan said solemnly: "Dare to ask fellow Daoists what do you want to know?"
Shen Lang asked all the questions in his heart, and the head of the Demon Bear Clan answered them one by one.
The first is the Styx. The Styx is the most dangerous place in the Great Wilderness. It traverses the southern part of the Great Wilderness. It is very wide. The river is black and ink. It is the place where all kinds of hostility such as stale air, evil air, and foul air gather between heaven and earth, which can wither. Everything.
Even a monk in the Void Refining Period fell into the Styx, and there was only one dead end.
Just the black energy emitted by the Styx can rot and rot the body of the cultivator during the normalization stage.
Knowing that Styx is so dangerous, Shen Lang is in a bad mood, but he still asks: "Is there really no other way to cross the Styx?"
The head of the Demon Bear clan scratched his head and said, "It's not nothing. As far as I know, the sky of Styx contains extremely distorted space power. It cannot fly over, but it can cross the Styx by boat."
"Zhoudu?" Shen Lang frowned.
"Yes. And a small boat made of chaotic spirit wood with the Yang attribute must be able to withstand the erosion of the water of the Styx. But this kind of high-end thing cannot be obtained by the cultivator of the gods. Besides, even if it is really like this The way to cross the Styx, the mortality rate is also ridiculously high."
"First of all, it will take at least thirty years to cross the Styx by boat crossing! Furthermore, there are as many ghosts as cows in the Styx, and there are many ghosts that can attack people's spirits. The filthy and twisted environment of the Styx itself will also give rise to many illusions. , Disturbing the mind of the cultivator, in that kind of desperate environment, let alone persisting for thirty years, three months will collapse!"
"Also, there is a legend that there is a monk with great supernatural powers practicing in Styx. This man is extremely cruel and will kill all monks who try to break into the Styx. It's okay if you don't hit the Styx. If you hit the Styx, you will definitely die!"
The head of the Demon Bear clan talked freely, and looking at his expression, he seemed to be very taboo towards Styx.
Shen Lang was in a very bad mood. He didn't expect to go through such a terrible place to go to the land of Nanyuan, but he knew at least that it was possible for a monk in the Transcendental Stage to cross the Styx.
The stingy ghost, foul air, and spirit attack, Shen Lang could resist. But the small boat made of the chaotic spirit of the Yang attribute made him difficult.
"Has the Chaos Spirit Wood ever appeared in this great wilderness?" Shen Lang asked.
"Of course there is, but only in the Lianhua tribe. It is said that at the beginning of the Ancient Spirit World Era, the Lianhua tribe in the Great Desolate Realm had many ancient spirit trees and chaotic spirit trees growing in them. By the way, friends, The ultra-long-distance teleportation array to the southern border of the Great Wasteland is also in the Lianhua Clan." The demon bear clan chief added.
Shen Lang's eyes beamed, it seemed that the Lianhua clan must go.
"Does fellow Taoist know the route to pity the flowers here?" Shen Lang asked calmly.
"Since fellow Daoist has decided, it doesn't make much sense to dissuade him."
The patriarch of the Demon Bear clan sighed, then took out a jade slip from the storage ring, and said: "Here is a detailed map of the Great Wasteland. It records the location of each teleportation formation. Daoists can decide the course of action by themselves."
After speaking, the patriarch of the Demon Bear clan handed the jade slip to Shen Lang.
"Thanks a lot!" Shen Lang clasped his fists.
The head of the demon bear clan smiled and said: "Compared with the kindness of fellow daoists, this is just a trivial matter. At the end, I will remind fellow daoists that if you travel in the wilderness, you must be more careful about fiends. Probably a few years ago, the wilderness In the'Tenglin Swamp' in the southwest, somehow, a giant worm egg was born. The worm egg gave birth to a large number of ancient fierce insects, raging in the wilderness."
"In the Great Wilderness now, many races have been invaded by ancient fierce insects, and they are miserable. There are even many unknown small races that have been wiped out by fierce insects. These fierce insects have a very wide range of activities, and the daoists have met before. The golden-backed centipede may be one of the ferocious insects that ran out of the vine forest swamp. My son was almost beaten by the ferocious insects. Alas... Be careful, fellow daoists!"
When the head of the Demon Bear clan said that, Shen Lang was a little pleased. He would rather catch some evil worms and collect them into the Sacred Worm Tower to become his own combat power.
After the two chatted for a while, Shen Lang left the demon bear clan.
During this trip to the Demon Bear Clan, Shen Lang obtained key information. Although the journey after that was very difficult, it finally got a head start.
With the teleportation array of the Demon Bear Clan, Shen Lang teleported to the southern border of the Demon Bear Clan and flew directly toward the southwest.
While flying, Shen Lang studied the map, trying to find the best route.
The Lianhua tribe is located in the southwest of the central part of the Great Wasteland, far away from their location.
There are many races in the Great Wasteland, with a large number of teleportation formations. Shen Lang can use the teleportation array to greatly shorten the time to travel to the Lianhua clan.
Shen Lang guessed it, but even so, it would take him about 20 years to pity the Hua Clan!
No way, the area of ​​the ancient spirit world was too wide, and it took twenty years to travel, which is unimaginable in the human world.
If you can use Ziyunzhang all the time, you don't need such a long flight time. The main reason is that Shen Lang doesn't have so many celestial stones for Ziyunzhang to squander, so he can only choose the flying magic weapon among the second-level pseudoprecious spirit treasures.
After making up his mind, Shen Lang began a long journey.
He would not waste twenty years, sitting in the flying magic weapon every day, meditating and practicing.
Time just passed day by day.
During these two decades, Shen Lang's cultivation base in the middle stage of transforming the gods was steady and progressing.
Every time he passed a demon clan's clan, Shen Lang acted very low-key, using the other clan's teleportation array in a humble manner.
The average weak race, seeing that Shen Lang is a cultivator in the transformation stage, let him use it for free.
However, when encountering a slightly stronger race, he was dissatisfied with Shen Lang that a foreign monk used their teleportation formation for nothing, and asked Shen Lang to pay the small sky spar and even the big sky spar as a transmission fee.
Shen Lang would generally avoid those powerful races with demon cultivators in the Void Refining Period. If they couldn't avoid it, they would be very respectful and asked to borrow the teleportation array from the other clan's land.
At this time, those races would basically open their mouths and demand high transmission costs, and Shen Lang could only bear the pain of being slaughtered.
In the past two decades, the remaining 70,000 large celestial stones and hundreds of millions of small celestial stones in Shen Lang's storage ring were all squandered and spent on transmission costs.
