The Hongyan Mountain Range extends for two or three hundred miles, and aside from Hongya Marketplace, there are no other Cultivator forces present.
However, due to the existence of the Marketplace, Cultivators often come and go here, nearly eliminating any chance for Demon Beasts to exist in the mountains.
Moreover, the closer one gets to the Marketplace, the fewer wild beasts there are to be found.
After all, although wild beasts have lower intelligence, their instinct to seek benefit and avoid harm still drives them away from dangerous areas.
Therefore, for Zhou Chun to hunt enough wild beasts near the Marketplace to feed the Silver Lightning Python and Rock Earth Turtle was no easy feat.
He wandered within a ten-mile radius of the Marketplace for half an hour but only managed to catch small animals like rabbits and wild chickens, barely enough for the Silver Lightning Python to be one-third full.
This hardly justified his having taken time off for the trip.
