Chapter Two Hundred and Seventy-Fourth: Seeing the Poor Dagger (Two in One Chapter)
Shi Yuan could feel the powerful power and sharpness of the Son-Mother Soul-Chasing Blade, so he did not dare to let the black blade fall on his monster body.
Therefore, I put most of my energy into defense. I could only use my natural spells to resist the golden arrows shot by the Yaojin Bow.
But after several rounds of attacks, the natural spells are exhausted and it takes some time to recover.
It could only hurriedly wipe out most of them with its fists, but a small half of the arrows still landed on its body, leaving blood marks.
The arrow turned into extremely destructive metallic spiritual power, which invaded his body, causing more serious injuries and affecting his actions.
"唧~"
Finally, Shi Yuan, who had accumulated too many injuries, reacted slowly for a moment, and the Soul-Chasing Blade passed through the relatively fragile throat area, letting out a slight whine.
The powerful strength in its body was rapidly disappearing, and its breath was rapidly weakening, but it still stood tenaciously under the strong vitality and did not fall down immediately.
"Puff puff"
Liu Yu's face didn't change, and his mother-in-law soul-chasing blade showed no mercy, directly turning his head into powder and causing blood to fly.
"thump"
Only then did Shi Yuan fall to the ground, completely losing the breath of life.
On the other side, the flying fireflies are commanded by blue arms, gathering or dispersing very flexibly, and the flames they spurt are constantly changing into various shapes.
This dark red flame is so important that the second-level mid-level stone ape can't easily touch it.
Whenever Shi Yuan wanted to rush over and engage in a fierce battle with Can Lan, there would be flames blocking him halfway, stopping him in his tracks.
The stone ape's whole body was covered with a layer of stone armor. It was extremely powerful but had nowhere to use it. Although it roared repeatedly, it had no good solution for the moment.
The fierce battle between Qingsong Laodao and that side was the most intense.
"Bang bang"
The ape king's eyes glowed scarlet, his body was huge but extremely flexible, and he could knock away Qingsong Lao Dao's Wuchen sword with one punch.
Then, he directly uprooted a tree that was four to five feet high with both hands, and threw it hard towards the Qingsong Old Road. The powerful kinetic energy exploded at an extremely fast speed, and there was a sound of breaking through the air.
After doing this, the key parts of the Ape King's body were covered with a layer of black stone armor, and he lightly jumped his huge body and quickly approached the target.
The ferocious aura made Qingsong Lao Taoist change his color slightly.
"Bang"
However, the reaction speed of the Immortal Cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage has been greatly improved. Naturally, he will not be unable to react at this time. He quickly threw the scroll in his hand into the air and unfolded it, turning it into a two-foot-sized scroll with a picture of the Yin and Yang fish, blocking it.
The trees thrown by the ape king.
Then the magic power was poured into the white-bearded Buddha dust. Hundreds of white beards were like strange snakes, twisting and stretching towards the ape king.
The ape king bulged his muscles and threw out a punch. Unfortunately, the white-bearded creature was not affected by the force, and was only slightly knocked back. Then, with a flash of inspiration, it directly wrapped around one of its arms.
"Roar!"
The Ape King's right arm burst out with a huge force, and he suddenly pulled his right arm back. Unexpectedly, he could not break the white beard, but only pulled the Buddha Chen over a little.
With the sharpness of the white beard, although it cannot pierce its defense, its toughness and pulling properties cannot easily tear it apart.
Seeing this, the sharp claw of his left hand stretched out, and he wanted to try to see if he could cut it off with his sharp claws.
But how could Old Dao Qingsong sit back and watch the attack of the spiritual weapon be broken?
The Wuchen Sword had already regenerated its strength at this time, and with a swivel movement, it stabbed towards the vital part of the Ape King's neck, forcing him to defend himself.
Old Taoist Qingsong was sweating slightly on his forehead. He used three magical weapons at the same time, especially the Buddha Dust Spiritual Weapon to pull against the Ape King, which consumed a lot of energy and mana.
However, the scene was at a stalemate for a while, until Liu Yu killed the second-level low-grade stone ape.
It was too late, but it was too fast. From the time when the three of them took action until Liu Yu killed another second-level low-grade stone ape, only ten breaths of time had passed.
At this time, the surrounding group of red-eyed stone apes had already reacted and discovered these intruders.
Seeing that two of the clan elders had died in a short period of time, not only did they not feel scared, their pupils seemed to be even redder, filled with dripping hatred!
"Ho ho ho!!!"
The first-order stone apes roared and rushed towards the three people, launching a brazen attack on this group of powerful intruders.
Vow to protect our homeland!
Suddenly, Liu Yu noticed something strange under his feet and lightly jumped to the side.
"Quicksand Technique"
This is a first-level spell that can turn a piece of land into quicksand and swallow the enemy. It can sometimes have miraculous effects, but the disadvantage is that it is too slow to activate.
"A mantis trying to block a cart does not overestimate its own capabilities."
Liu Yu showed a sneer, his eyes full of cruelty.
The Son-Mother Soul-Chasing Blade was divided into seven, turning into streaks of black light and shooting towards the apes. At the same time, the direction of the Yaojin Bow was turned, and a shower of golden arrows was shot out.
The golden shimmer is beautiful in the night sky, but it does not bring beauty, but ruthless killing.
"Chirp~"
Deaths and injuries appeared in a group of apes that came face to face. Most of the red-eyed stone apes only had time to let out a cry before completely losing their life breath.
The edge of the best magic weapon is simply not something that a first-level monster can withstand, especially when driven by monks in the middle stage of foundation building.
The stone armor formed by the innate spell was extremely fragile. It was broken by a single stab from the Soul-Chasing Blade, while the flesh and blood of the body was even more unbearable and was directly penetrated.
When it reappeared, the six child blades and one mother blade were all stained with blood and looked very bloody.
Because Yao Jin Gong's attack was dispersed, the casualties caused were much smaller, but still only the first-level and high-grade stone apes were spared, while the first- and middle-low-grade stone apes were either dead or disabled.
In just two encounters, the red-eyed ape group suffered more than 20 casualties. For this group of about 200 individuals, the casualties were not unbearable.
But not only did this not make them retreat, the smell of blood actually aroused the ferocity of the stone apes, making them forget their fear of death.
When the ape king saw his tribe being mercilessly slaughtered, the blood in his eyes became even richer, and he stared at Liu Yu with eyes full of ferocity and hatred.
"Ho ho ho!"
It exposed its long fangs and shook its head and roared three times. I don't know what method it used to make its right arm expand in a circle. At the same time, the aura around its body rose a lot, and it turned out to be even stronger than the Yinming Spirit Snake.
.
Then with a sudden wave of his arm, he got rid of the entanglement of the Buddha's dust spiritual weapon and threw it more than ten feet away. The spiritual light was dim.
Facing the ape king's eyes full of evil and hatred, Liu Yu's heart skipped a beat, and she was shocked for a moment, causing her offensive to come to a halt.
Just when the ape king broke free and Liu Yu thought it was going to attack him, he unexpectedly made an unexpected move.
The ape king actually pulled away and let out a series of unexplained roars at the group of red-eyed stone apes, seemingly giving some orders.
When the apes heard the order, the red light in their eyes dimmed slightly, and they paused as they rushed towards the three men.
It wasn't until the Ape King roared eagerly again that he reluctantly gave up the attack and gathered around the Ape King.
For monsters and beasts, the orders of the leader of the group are unusually binding and they will obey instinctively.
Otherwise, it is a betrayal of the group, which is fatal to the monsters and beasts that live in groups. They will often be expelled from the group or lose the right to mate.
Even the second-level mid-level stone ape that was fighting with Cang Lan retreated and gathered around the ape king.
The three of them looked at each other very quickly, not understanding the monster's intentions. However, they had the upper hand now, so they might as well watch the ape king's movements and calm down.
Looking at the red-eyed stone ape that fell to the ground due to severe injuries, moaning loudly but not yet dead, the ape king saw the complexity of humanity in his eyes.
It seems sad and reluctant.
Finally, it stared hard at Liu Yu and the others, as if to remember the faces of these enemies in its eyes.
Then he slowly turned around and led the remaining apes away in the opposite direction to the Dark Star Spirit Tree. The tall and burly monster body quickly disappeared into the darkness.
"Apes are indeed primates. They can suppress their wild nature and temporarily give in."
A flash of surprise flashed in Liu Yu's eyes.
Defending territory is an instinct, and survival and reproduction are even more instinctive. When the two conflict, which one should we follow?
The ape king made a choice for the group, choosing to give up the territory and preserve the group.
"Two fellow Taoists, if we don't kill them all, what should we do if this monster attracts other monsters?"
Old Taoist Qingsong originally didn't want to simply let the apes go, but when he saw that Liu Yu and the others were motionless, he persuaded them.
The materials on the monster beasts were valuable, and the more they killed, the greater the final harvest would be. Of course, he didn't want to give up easily.
"Our first target is the Dusky Star Spirit Tree. Let him go to this group of red-eyed demon apes."
Canglan frowned slightly, looking a little unhappy.
For him, the soul mulberry is the most important thing, and he doesn't want to add any extraneous problems. Now that the soul mulberry is about to be obtained, there is no need to be polite to this old Taoist like before.
The Xinglan Fruit was right in front of him, and Liu Yu was not interested in the materials on the monster beast, it was just some spiritual stones.
Turning his eyes, he looked at the Dusky Star Spirit Tree.
The two of them disagreed. Even though Old Taoist Qingsong was extremely reluctant, he couldn't catch up with him alone, so he could only give up.
According to the agreement, all the monsters killed belonged to him, so he controlled the magic weapon and began to clean up the scene. The corpses of two second-level monsters and dozens of first-order monsters were definitely worth thousands of spirit stones.
For casual cultivators, any piece of spiritual stone is not easy to come by and must be cherished.
Because they don't have resource points that can generate resources, they can only rely on other ways to obtain spiritual stones. If they can practice immortality and various arts, that's fine, but if they can't, they can only earn spiritual stones in a relatively inefficient way.
Every piece of spiritual stone must be carefully calculated.
In this way, how difficult is the path to immortality?
It is this difficult situation that has destined some casual cultivators who are unwilling to be mediocre to be very aggressive. If there is a suitable opportunity and they can obtain a large amount of spiritual stones, they are willing to take action against sect disciples, family children and even other casual cultivators.
If there are no opportunities, create opportunities.
"Pick it, take it, it's all stupid in the end anyway."
The old Taoist Qingsong, who was holding the corpse of the monster and looking away, looked a little sinister.
This is how he has been through this journey, and I believe that this careful calculation will be no exception.
Liu Yu and Cang Lan looked at each other and approached the Dusky Star Spiritual Tree at the same time. They were wary of each other and collected the spiritual fruit and spiritual mulberry respectively.
Xinglan fruit is also very beneficial to monsters. Apparently the group of red-eyed stone apes also took a lot. At this time, there were only six fruits on the tree, four of which were light blue and two of which were dark blue and shimmering.
Apparently, the light blue ones are not yet ripe.
However, this does not prevent Liu Yu from putting them away. According to the unique rules of the Immortal Mansion, it is possible that the cores of these fruits can grow back into Dusky Star Spirit Trees.
Soon, all six fruits were put into the storage bag.
Ten breaths later, Can Lan and Qing Song Lao Dao also packed up the things they needed. Since then, the three people's apparent goals have been achieved.
Now that the goal has been achieved, there is no need to stop again. It has been quite some time since the battle began, and there is no guarantee that no monsters will hear the noise and come to check.
The three people, who had different thoughts, were unwilling to cause trouble and immediately decided to return along the original road.
Liu Yu put the Soul-Chasing Blade and the Golden Bow into his storage bag, but held the thick earth umbrella in his left hand as a precaution. Instead of relaxing, Liu Yu became more focused.
If the guess is correct, it will be time to fall out.
What trump card does Qingsong Laodao have? Or has he secretly arranged some powerful formation? Or does he have helpers?
With the strength he showed, he couldn't defeat himself and Cang Lan.
Walking in the forest, Liu Yu's thoughts were racing, her consciousness scanned the surrounding movements, and at the same time, her mind was placed on the storage bag, ready to take out three spiritual weapons and attack first.
He doesn't have the habit of waiting for the other party to be ready before making the first move.
Suddenly, Liu Yu's footsteps stopped while he was walking.
Qingsong Laodao and Can Lan stopped at the same time and turned around.
"Why did Fellow Daoist Hong stop suddenly?"
Old Taoist Qingsong asked calmly.
"But found traces of the second-level monster?"
Canglan also cast a searching look, frowned and asked.
An unpredictable smile appeared on Liu Yu's face, which made Master Qingsong suddenly feel something was wrong. Sure enough, the next second something happened that he least wanted to see.
"Hong was thinking, Taoist fellow Taoist Qingsong has carefully prepared a show for us and others, when will we be able to perform it?"
After saying this, Liu Yu's eyes turned cold, and he waved his hands and shot out a dozen fireballs the size of marbles into the woods in front of him.
Having practiced the Mystical Art of Preserving God, his spiritual scanning method is far more precise and sophisticated than ordinary foundation-building monks. After careful scanning, he finally found subtle movements several miles away, and with his keen spiritual sense, he finally discovered something strange.
Now that I'm aware of it, of course I can't step into the full set.
Seeing this, Old Taoist Qingsong looked a bit ugly. He had already arranged for his team to set up a formation in front, and at the same time, he restrained his aura to hide the ambush.
This method has been successful several times, and there have been no flaws. I don’t understand how this monk surnamed Hong, who is only somewhat powerful, can see through it?
In ordinary breath-containing secret techniques, no matter how well they are restrained, there will eventually be more or less fluctuations in breath and mana leaked out. All of this was completely invisible under the careful scanning of Liu Yu's spiritual consciousness.
Of course, there is no need to explain to other monks how Liu Yu discovered it.
"boom"
Red sparks lit up the forest, and more than a dozen fireballs landed in several places a few miles away, destroying several ancient trees and creating several large craters. On the surface, it looked very normal.
But Canglan's face turned cold. When the fireball exploded, he clearly sensed several waves of aura.
