Luckily, there are lots of them spread all around Sumeru. They tend to be very present in the southern Apam Woods and west of Vanarana. You can also fight them in the Blossom of Wealth and Blossom of Revelation Ley line Outcroppings in Sumeru. Enemies fought via Ley Line Outcroppings have a higher drop rate for ascension materials than enemies encountered in the open world.
