Chapter 71: Velvet Fire Scorpion Insect Molting Material
The Horned Boar quickly detected Su Yan’s position and charged straight toward him.
Su Yan’s expression remained calm, but the Velvet Fire Scorpion Insect and White Bone Poison Centipede had already pounced forward.
Despite the huge difference in size, the Horned Boar on the opposite side bristled its mane almost straight up upon seeing the two, reaching the peak of vigilance.
The Velvet Fire Scorpion Insect spat out poisonous mist like flames from its mouth, blocking the Horned Boar’s path.
The Horned Boar roared and stomped forcefully, wanting to pounce forward.
At this moment, the White Bone Poison Centipede had circled to the side, and with a whoosh, it shot out a White Bone Poison Centipede Nail, piercing the Horned Boar’s tough skin.
The Horned Boar felt the pain, the toxin spreading instantly, and it madly charged toward Su Yan.
The White Bone Poison Centipede moved its body and fiercely pounced toward its beast head.
Its appendage feet hooked in, immediately blocking the Horned Boar’s vision.
In pain, the Horned Boar fell to the ground and rolled over, crashing out a large pit.
At this time, the toxin had already spread, and the Horned Boar immediately felt numbness throughout its body, unable to move anymore.
Su Yan strode over, swinging his sandbag-sized fist, and with two bangs, he beat the Horned Boar unconscious.
The White Bone Poison Centipede was about to deliver a fatal blow, but Su Yan stopped it.
Instead, he stuffed a handful of Clear Miasma Powder into the Horned Boar’s mouth and pulled out the White Bone Poison Centipede Nail.
‘The Horned Boar has a relatively docile temperament, can carry heavy loads, so let’s try taming it.’
The Horned Boar’s body was huge; if killed, there wouldn’t be enough Insect Realm Space to handle it for the time being.
It wasn’t a sudden whim; among the Poison Dragon Golden Body Technique obtained from Pang Tianfeng, there was a technique for taming beasts.
Taming beasts with poison, driving them for use.
This technique wasn’t very advanced and seemed like a fragment; perhaps the original owner who inherited the Poison Dragon Golden Body Technique had some connection to the Beast King Sect.
Normally, Su Yan wouldn’t bother with it, as controlled beasts of low tier couldn’t be controlled as freely as an arm.
But in this Deep Mountain Evil Forest, having an extra pack animal wasn’t bad.
Su Yan dragged over vines and tied the Horned Boar up tightly, and after searching, he indeed found a cave hidden under the vines.
The cave wasn’t small; it was dug by the Horned Boar in the rock crevices and rock soil, about seven or eight meters deep, with a damp atmosphere.
There was faintly the smell of the Horned Boar; Su Yan frowned slightly but didn’t mind, lit a fire to scorch the entire cave, laid dry grass on it, and it became a simple foothold.

“Fierce Ape Three Forms and Monkey Fist share the same origin; now with Small Success, taking the opportunity to enter the mountains, might as well push it to Great Accomplishment.”
According to what Li Jinshan said, different auxiliary skills and martial skills practiced would have different effects on Beast Spirit True Intent.
If Fierce Ape Three Forms reaches Great Accomplishment, or even advances to Transformation Realm, supplemented by the influence of insect taming, it will surely surpass ordinary people.
Moreover, now with the refining of the Jade Beetle, the continuous progress of the three insect tamers has already pushed the Tier 1 Insect Master progress over halfway.
Su Yan was very curious about what power a Second-order Insect Master would have.
Thinking this way, Su Yan picked up the Fine Steel Longbow and entered the forest.
Time passes without notice in the mountains; Su Yan’s mountain hunting in the Desolate Mountains area unexpectedly gave him a faint sense of this.
For several consecutive days of combat in the mountains, encountering pack beasts like Gray Thorn Wolves, Su Yan kept his distance and shot them down with archery.
Encountering feral beasts like the Bear, if not exceeding First-order Mid-grade, he would go forward and fight with Fierce Ape Three Forms.
In the mountain evil forest, there were indeed many feral beasts; over several days, even with Su Yan wearing a layer of soft armor and a layer of Jade Beetle’s jade armor.
His body had accumulated quite a few wounds.
In the mountain valley, the Rock Burst Ape roared angrily; behind it, a First-order treasure plant jade peach tree was already bare with only branches and leaves left.
Su Yan’s mountain hunting instinct had already approached Great Accomplishment, and after a few days of venturing in the mountains, it broke through the bottleneck.
Reaching Great Accomplishment; though not as miraculous as “seeking dragons and dividing gold while surveying the mountains,” he could easily discern what environment, plant growth patterns, and possible treasures might be hidden.
Combined with the White Bone Poison Centipede and Velvet Fire Scorpion Insect, he naturally got to the treasure plant first.
However, this provoked the native inhabitant.
“First-order Mid-stage ape-type feral beast”
Su Yan’s eyes lit up, and his figure and aura suddenly changed.
Clearly without condensing True Intent like Li Jinshan or Li Chuan, the rising aura was completely like that of a Fierce Ape feral beast.
The item had already been taken, and the Rock Burst Ape’s ferocity was unstoppable; now it was provoked like facing its own kind.
In an instant, it could no longer hold back and pounced over.
Its body hair was a muddy yellow, skin like rock, and its huge fist hammered over.
Su Yan set aside the longbow and dao, meeting it with his bare red fists.
Fierce Ape Three Forms were unleashed continuously, striking flesh with every punch.
Su Yan’s dodging movements resembled the Rock Burst Ape even more, more agile, with all his skills seeming integrated into instinct.
Between each punch and kick, there was inherent momentum.
The more the Rock Burst Ape fought, the more fearful it became, as if facing another Fierce Ape.
Su Yan’s eyes burst with sharp light, a flash of inspiration in his mind.
He grasped this feeling; Fierce Ape Three Forms and Monkey Fist merged as one, no longer divided by moves.
His qi and blood surged, muscles and bones resounding together, and his large hand reached out.
Precisely grabbing the Rock Burst Ape’s fist.
【Fierce Ape Three Forms1/400（Great Accomplishment）】
【Monkey Fist（Transformation Realm）】
With Monkey Fist fused into his heart, he elbowed the Rock Burst Ape’s head, snapping its neck.
One strike to kill; Su Yan then restrained his qi and blood and looked toward the shrubs.
The White Bone Poison Centipede clung to the Horned Boar’s body; the massive Horned Boar stepped out and came over to nudge the Rock Burst Ape’s corpse.
“Hold on”
Su Yan patted the Horned Boar, startling it; repeatedly tormented with poisonous creatures and trained, the Horned Boar was obedient but extremely afraid of Su Yan.
The Velvet Fire Scorpion Insect crawled out from the nearby shrubs; at this time, its body had grown a size larger.
Su Yan called it out, and it immediately pounced toward the Rock Burst Ape’s heart.
Its sharp claws directly snipped through the tough flesh and blood, digging out the hot heart inside.
The Velvet Fire Scorpion Insect feasted heartily, devouring the heart in just a few bites.
【Velvet Fire Scorpion Insect0/2（Metamorphosis Stage）】
【Metamorphosis:Red Mountain Armor Plate,Red Gold】
The Velvet Fire Scorpion Insect had devoured poison pills for several days and eaten much feral beast flesh and blood, its growth long fully accumulated.
Now, under this Rock Burst Ape’s heart, it also broke through the bottleneck and entered the Metamorphosis Stage.
But this metamorphosis requirement made Su Yan frown slightly.
“It actually needs two molting materials.”
He looked pensive: “Red Mountain Armadillo at First-order Mid-stage isn’t hard to deal with, but finding one isn’t easy; Red Gold requires going to Temple City.”
The items aren’t particularly precious, equivalent to the price of First-order treasure plant spirit herbs, but in these vast Desolate Mountains, finding these two things himself wouldn’t be easy.
“Just in time to make a trip to Temple City.”
Su Yan quickly decided, having the Horned Boar drag the Rock Burst Ape back to the cave foothold.
Here was already piled with many hides; First-order Early and Mid-stage ones were not few.
Although Su Yan was alone, with the White Bone Poison Centipede and Velvet Fire Scorpion Insect, his hunting speed was no slower than a small team.
The more mountain goods accumulated, the more problematic selling them became.
Originally, the Golden Ape Martial Arts School would buy them without shortchanging the price, but releasing so many at once would be too eye-catching.
For now, the only option was to sell them piecemeal and have ‘Feng Ruohan’ come out for a trip.
