Lin Nan saw the miserable situation of Li Fu and Xue Ren, and his legs were so scared that he still dared to ask for the demon core?
"My fellow Taoist has great magical powers, and this little girl is willing to be inferior. As for these demon cores, they were all hunted by my fellow Taoist through hard work. How can this little girl dare to think so?"
Lin Nan's voice trembled, and he took three steps back, bowed to Liang Yan again, and then ran deep into the woods without looking back.
Looking at the woman's retreating figure, Liang Yan shook his head and did not choose to pursue her.
Random killing is prohibited in Langhuan Continent. At the foot of Longding Mountain, Lan Li and Situ Wen were examples. Even if they are the heads of a clan, they cannot violate the iron law of Shennong Mountain.
Liang Yan had just hit the target. Although he knocked two people away, he didn't kill them.
"This level of strength should be about the same."
Liang Yan thought to himself and looked towards the shadows in the woods intentionally or unintentionally.
There, a few leaves fell, as if someone had been there before, but now there is no one there.
"The Messenger of Shennong. Interesting!"
An undetectable smile appeared at the corner of Liang Yan's mouth.
In fact, when the three people just came to compete for the demon core, he could completely ignore them and just use the Taixu gourd to collect the demon beast's body, then pat their butts and leave.
With the magical powers of Li Ax, Lin Nan and others, there is no way they can catch up with Liang Yan.
The reason why he chose to take action was because he sensed someone hiding in the dark.
And this person is Shennong’s envoy, Tang Zhen!
Even before the competition, Tang Zhen had shown a strong interest in him, wanting Liang Yan to join Shennong Mountain, and stated that he would observe his performance during the hunt.
Liang Yan did not expect that this person would keep his word and find his place just after entering Longding Mountain.
Knowing that Tang Zhen was hiding in the dark, Liang Yan naturally had to show some tricks to the other party, so that he could be recognized by the other party.
Liang Yan handled the battle just now just right.
Using the divine power of the Vajra to deal with several monks in the early stages of the Golden Elixir was simply devastating, but sword energy was not used during the entire process, so that Tang Zhen would not be suspicious.
"He should be quite satisfied with me, right?"
Liang Yan looked at the place where Tang Zhen had been before, with a thoughtful look on his face.
If this competition goes well and enough five-color soil is obtained, Tang Zhen will take him into Shennong Mountain after he recovers his cultivation level.
In this way, you can save a lot of trouble
Thinking of this, Liang Yan turned around and looked at the corpse of the monster in the open space. He took out a black cloth bag from his sleeve, opened the mouth of the bag, and played a spell at the same time.
As the spell was played, demon cores of different sizes and colors flew out from the corpses of these demon beasts. There were as many as one hundred and thirteen, and finally they all fell into Liang Yan's black cloth bag.
.
Liang Yan tied the mouth of the bag and weighed it in his hands, with a look of satisfaction on his face.
"With these monster cores, I can equal the harvest of a tribe by myself. If I go to the top of the mountain to hunt a few Jindan realm monsters, I will be able to securely enter the top three in this competition."
Although the current situation is very good, Liang Yan does not take it lightly, because there is another uncertain factor hidden in the dark, and that is the "Ye Ming Sect".
Thinking of "Ye Ming Sect", Liang Yan also thought of Gu Xingyun.
This person has been on the Ye Ming Cult’s assassination list. Is he still alive now?
Thinking of this, Liang Yan pinched his fingers with his right hand and calculated silently for a moment, then quickly raised his eyebrows.
"Huh? It's not far from here. I'll go over and have a look. Maybe I can save his life."
To say that Liang Yan had fallen into a state, it was impossible to sense Gu Xingyun's position, but he had done some tricks on "Mu Ying" beforehand, and now he found that "Mu Ying" was not far away.
According to Ye Ming Cult's method of assassinating Gu Xingyun, "Muying" is definitely a very useful chess piece.
In other words, wherever "Muying" appears, it is likely that Gu Xingyun is also there.
Liang Yan did not hesitate, first carefully put away the demon core, then activated the Tianji Pearl to cover his own aura, and walked towards the direction of "Mu Ying".
Somewhere in the woods of Longding Mountain, there is a vast empty land.
A young man and woman are standing back to back.
The man's face was fair and handsome, but unfortunately his left eye was injured and left a scar, which made him look a little imperfect.
Behind him is a woman in palace attire, in her twenties and eighties, with good looks.
At this moment, the two of them were surrounded by a group of red monsters.
Each of these strange insects is about the size of a fist, shaped like a centipede, and has a bright red carapace. Some magical spells fell on them and were immediately bounced away by the carapace, causing only superficial injuries.
"Brother Xingyun, this is not the way to go. There are too many of them and I can't kill them all!" The woman in palace clothes sounded anxious and asked the man behind her for help.
"I didn't expect that I would encounter the 'Flowing Gold Demon Ant' here!" The man looked solemn, looked at a cave in the distance, and said in a hurry: "There should be an insect mother born, so these 'flowing gold demon ants'
Only the Golden Demon Ants became so crazy. If my guess is correct, the insect mother is directing the battle in that cave."
"The mother of the Golden Demon Ant? Doesn't she have the strength of the Golden Core Realm? How come she appears here?" A look of surprise appeared on the woman's face.
"It should be that we happened to break into its territory shortly after the breakthrough and were treated as blood food by it." The man said helplessly.
"Then what should we do?"
The woman in palace clothes turned pale, took the initiative to lean against the man, and said almost sobbing: "Brother Xingyun, Mu Ying doesn't want these disgusting things to crawl on her, you must find a way to save me.
"
"Don't worry, I won't let you get hurt."
A steady voice came from the man's mouth. This man was Gu Xingyun, one of the "Three Red Clouds" of the Shiling Tribe!
And the woman in palace attire who was protected behind him was naturally the granddaughter of the leader of the Shiling Tribe, "Muying".
At this time, Gu Xingyun has been surrounded by gold-flowing demon ants. The individual strength of these demon ants is not strong, but they can connect their auras together. In front of such a huge ant colony, even the ancients in the golden elixir realm
Xingyun was also a little constrained.
In fact, with his strength, even if he can't defeat the golden demon ants, he can still escape from the ant colony.
But now there is one more person around me, Mu Ying.
This woman's cultivation level is too low. Gu Xingyun alone is still confident of escaping from the ant colony, but if Mu Ying is brought along, it will be difficult to say.
Despite knowing this, Gu Xingyun still had no intention of giving up on Mu Ying.
He unfolded his body-protecting spiritual light and enveloped Mu Ying.
"Yingying, don't worry, as long as I, Gu Xingyun, are here, these demon ants can't get close to you!"
"Brother Xingyun, you are so kind!"
Mu Ying leaned her body against Gu Xingyun again, and suddenly said softly: "Brother Xingyun, we can't escape from this situation. Only by killing the insect mother can we leave safely."
"I also want to kill the insect mother, but..." Gu Xingyun looked at Mu Ying beside him, with a look of hesitation on his face.
"Brother Xingyun, I know what you are thinking. You are afraid that when you go in to duel with the insect mother, I won't be able to resist these golden demon ants alone, right?" Mu Ying blinked and said.
"Yeah." Gu Xingyun nodded slowly: "I don't want to leave you here alone."
"Silly brother, I know you are the best to Ying'er." Mu Ying smiled sweetly and said in a soft voice: "But have you forgotten something? In fact, you can kill the insect mother without entering the cave."
"No need to enter the cave?"
Gu Xingyun was fending off the gold-flowing demon ants around him. Hearing Mu Ying's words, he was slightly startled for a moment, then immediately reacted.
"You mean, use the magic weapon given to me by the high priest?"
"Yes, have you forgotten this killer move?" Mu Ying said with a smile.
"But. But I can only use this magic weapon once a day. The high priest Qian Dingzhuwan has told me to use it at the critical moment when competing for rankings. If I use it now," Gu Xingyun's eyes showed hesitation.
"Humph, if you don't have to do it now, why don't you just watch these ants eat me?" Mu Ying's tone suddenly became a little cold.
"Ying'er, you know that's not what I meant." Seeing her getting angry, Gu Xingyun hurriedly explained.
"Silly brother, you are so stupid!"
Mu Ying smiled sweetly, and her tone gradually became softer: "The insect mother in the cave has probably broken through to the golden elixir realm. If you kill it with the 'Fudi Golden Bowl', won't you be able to get a golden elixir realm?"
The demon core? This not only saves Ying'er, but also contributes to the ranking of the Stone Spirit Tribe. Isn't it killing two birds with one stone?"
"this"
Gu Xingyun's face was a little shaken. Although Yi Yin had told him many times that he would never use that magic weapon until the critical moment, but now that his beloved was asking him softly, Gu Xingyun finally made up his mind.
"Okay, let's use the 'Floating Golden Bowl' to kill that mother insect!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Xingyun raised his hand and pinched a magic formula. With a flash of golden light in his sleeve, an earthen golden bowl flew into the air.
The "Floating Golden Bowl" grew in the wind, and in an instant it was ten feet wide, as big as a roof. Gold and black intertwined, spinning constantly in the air, bringing up strong winds.
"go!"
Gu Xingyun recited a mantra, stretched out his hand, and the "Folding Golden Bowl" flew through the air, and instantly got into the cave in the distance.
There was a steady stream of gold-flowing demon ants pouring out of the cave, but when they were hit by the "Folding Golden Bowl", they immediately fell apart and couldn't resist it at all.
Gu Xingyun continued to control the "Fudi Golden Bowl", rushing left and right in the cave, and soon found the mother of the Golden Demon Ant.
This insect mother has reached the early stage of the golden elixir, but her aura is very unstable. She obviously just broke through not long ago, otherwise it would not be possible to appear halfway up the mountain.
"Humph, it's you, the beast, who is causing trouble here!"
Gu Xingyun snorted coldly, and without saying much, controlled the "Vudi Golden Bowl" to hit the opponent.
The insect mother had already given birth to spiritual wisdom. Seeing the ferocious momentum of the "Folding Golden Bowl", she knew it was a magic weapon that was not easy to mess with, so she did not dare to take it by force. She drilled into the cave and disappeared without a trace.
"Still want to run?"
A fierce light flashed in Gu Xingyun's eyes, and he pinched the magic with both hands.
He knew that the Golden Demon Ant was good at escaping into the ground and building burrows, and the Mother Insect was an expert at it. Once it escaped into the ground, it would be even more difficult to catch it out.
At this critical moment, Gu Xingyun used the formula taught by Yi Yin and used half of his earth spiritual power to strengthen the "Fudi Golden Bowl".
As his seal took shape, huge earth spiritual power poured into the "Fudi Golden Bowl", causing the magic weapon's glow to skyrocket.
brush!
A ray of yellow light shot out from under the golden bowl and penetrated into the ground. In just a few breaths, it pulled out the worm mother that had just escaped.
"Die!"
Without any hesitation, Gu Xingyun pinched the magic formula with his right hand, and the "Folding Golden Bowl" slowly rotated in the air. The powerful force was like an invisible millstone, grinding the body of the insect mother into powder.
As soon as the insect mother died, the surrounding Golden Demon Ants immediately lost their command and no longer attacked the two people. Instead, they faded away like a tide and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Seeing that the crisis was over, Gu Xingyun also breathed a sigh of relief.
He raised his hand and cast a spell to take out the demon core from the broken corpse of the insect mother, with a smile on his face.
"Yingying, with this demon core, it should make our tribe's ranking higher, right?"
"Of course, my brother Xingyun is the best." Mu Ying did not have the airs of a dignified young lady at this time. She buried her head in Gu Xingyun's chest and said in a tired voice: "Brother Xingyun, you just wanted to kill someone.
Mother Insect, did you spend a lot of spiritual energy?"
"Um."
Gu Xingyun nodded and said: "The insect mother wants to escape into the underground. I can only use the seal taught by the high priest to forcibly activate the magical power of the 'Fudi Golden Bowl' to catch the insect mother out of the ground. But in this way
Come on, at least half of the spiritual energy in my body has been lost."
"Half of your spiritual power has been lost? It's really dangerous!" Mu Ying looked worried, and after thinking about it, she asked: "What about the 'Fudi Golden Bowl'? Can it be used again?"
Gu Xingyun sighed softly and said: "I can't use it anymore, because the 'Fudi Golden Bowl' is not my magic weapon. After reluctantly refining it, I can only use it once a day. If I use it forcibly a second time, my soul may be destroyed."
The magic weapon backfired, and he finally went crazy and died."
"That's it"
Mu Ying buried her head in Gu Xingyun's chest, her waterfall-like hair covering her face, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
The two hugged each other for a moment, and Mu Ying's voice suddenly sounded: "Since brother Xingyun has reached this stage, let Ying'er give you a ride."
"Um?"
Gu Xingyun was stunned for a moment. Before he could react, he felt a tearing pain in his chest.
When he looked down, he saw a bright dagger stuck in his heart, and on the other end of the dagger was the lover he had longed for.
"you!"
Gu Xingyun seemed to have seen the most unbelievable thing. His eyes widened, his steps staggered, and he took a few steps back.
He didn't understand what happened. The woman he loved most, the woman he was willing to protect with his life, would actually insert a dagger into his chest.
