Chapter 45: Monster Beasts on the 9th Floor of the Condensation Pulse Realm
The guards who were tired from fighting went back to rest, and the remaining people began to come out to disturb the battlefield. This was the custom after every battle.
Monster corpses can be used as food on the road, and monster cores can be sold, which is also a big fortune.
What's more important is that this wealth does not need to be handed over, it will be divided equally among the guards.
After returning to the caravan, everyone looked at Ling Qingzhu differently this time.
Although she was still fascinated by Ling Qingzhu's appearance, no one dared to look down upon her anymore. Ling Qingzhu's powerful strength won everyone's respect.
"Don't go out yet. Come back and hold on to the camp. There's a big guy here."
Seeing that the remaining people were about to go out to clean the battlefield, Ling Qingzhu immediately stopped them.
This time there was a clear difference from the previous situation. No one dared to ignore Ling Qingzhu's warning and returned to their original positions to observe the surroundings.
It's just that the three guards moved too fast and failed to withdraw in time after hearing Ling Qingzhu's reminder.
When the three of them were about to return to the roadblock, a manticore that was even bigger than the previous ones had quietly come up behind them.
On weekdays, every time the battlefield is disturbed, these three people rush to the front. Even if it is divided equally in the end, it is impossible to really divide the cooking equally, so they gain a little more than others.
Because their family is a single-parent family, the elderly in the family need their support, and their children also need support.
What's more, every time they harvest a little more, they will also personally take over some things in the camp. For example, when hunting monsters for a good harvest, they will be responsible for grilling meat and pouring wine for other brothers who go to the battlefield to fight.
In order to take care of them, everyone acquiesced in this behavior and deliberately gave them more.
However, people make mistakes and horses make mistakes. This time they encountered an accident after all.
Although Ling Qingzhu had no friendship with them, when Lion and Scorpion appeared, he immediately used his skills to rush over with the idea that he could save one by one.
In the horrified eyes of the other guards in the camp, Manticore's head emerged from the sand first, opened its bloody mouth, and bit the three of them.
At this time, one of the three guards became extremely courageous and calm at the critical moment of life and death. When he saw the horrified eyes of his companions in the camp and the shadow behind him when the sun was blocked, he made a prompt decision and pushed the other two companions away and shouted
: "Run away!"
The other two people were pushed and fell to the ground. When they turned around after hearing the roar, they saw a scene they would never forget in their lives.
The brother who usually joked and joked was covered in a bloody mouth, and his entire upper body was bitten off in an instant, with blood splattering.
And now the figure of the big guy Ling Qingzhu talked about was finally exposed in front of everyone.
It was completely larger than other manticores, more than three meters tall and five meters long. The aura revealed on its body made everyone breathless. It was simply a giant beast.
"This, this strength should be at the ninth level of Pulse Condensation Realm, right?" Lei Ming's voice was trembling a little when he spoke.
If he were a warrior at the ninth level of the Pulse Condensation Realm, he could be killed by a swarm of one or two hundred guards from the Ke family, but this was a ferocious beast.
Monster beasts are already rough-skinned and thick-flesh, not to mention that the manticore has a shiny black carapace that looks extremely hard. It is impossible to win even if the lives of all the guards present are piled on it!
After the manticore devoured the guard, it immediately targeted the other two guards who were too frightened to move.
And Ling Qingzhu finally felt it at this time, a sword piercing the flesh and blood in the gap between the carapace of the lion and scorpion.
"Roar."
Manticore let out a deafening roar due to pain, and the two guards were immediately thrown away.
With both feet stepping on the manticore's back, Ling Qingzhu pulled out the long sword with all his strength, and immediately retreated to avoid the scorpion's tail that was stabbed by the manticore.
At this time, Ling Qingzhu's hatred was filled up by Scorpion's hatred. He ignored the two guards and directly targeted Ling Qingzhu, his enemy.
With Ling Qingzhu's strength, even without the use of Yue Pu, he can easily kill this scorpion which is equivalent to the ninth level of Pulse Condensation Realm. However, if the speed of his movement is limited to the level of the second level of Pulse Condensation Realm, he can only barely contain it.
Already.
All in all, they just avoid fighting. No matter how sharp the sword is, it needs strength to support it, and Ling Qingzhu's current strength is just incomparable to the monsters at the ninth level of the Pulse Condensation Realm.
If there is a head-on confrontation, the refined sword may not break, but Ling Qingzhu will definitely be sent flying in one move.
With the tragic death of their companions and no hope of victory in sight, the guards in the Ke family's caravan had lost the courage to fight the ninth-level manticore in the Pulse Condensation Realm.
The reason why we can still maintain our formation despite the fear of death at this time is because of the cohesion we have developed in the past.
Even Steward Cao, the strongest guard in the caravan, Guard Chief Yin and Lei Ming did not have the confidence to fight against the ninth-level demon in the Pulse Condensation Realm at this time.
"Some of us will retreat with the Second Young Lady, and the rest of you will follow me here to hold down this monster." As the captain of the guard, Yin Zheng's order was tantamount to sending those who stayed behind to die.
However, no one raised any objections. They were guards, and the whole family relied on the Ke family for their lives.
Even if they are all dead, as long as the second young lady Ke Yimeng can go back, their sacrifices will be valuable and their family can live a good life.
This is not to take sides, but to show loyalty, loyalty to the entire Ke family.
"Hey, don't just stand there stupidly. My martial spirit can control this beast, but I won't be able to control it for long. Which of you with more destructive power can come and help kill it."
Although the distance was relatively far and the battle was still ongoing, Ling Qingzhu focused a large part of his attention on the caravan. He heard that they were going to withdraw. How could he agree to this?
Currently, Ling Qingzhu's Moon Eye Illusion Technique is only known to those within the Jiaolong Ling Family and the Merchant Alliance.
The identity and abilities of the leader of the Merchant Alliance are naturally confidential, so there is no need to worry about people within the Merchant Alliance leaking this.
The Merchant Alliance has not yet developed into the Tianyun Kingdom, and Ling Qingzhu's Moon Eye ability has been exposed here, and at most it will only be known to the people of the Jiaolong Ling family.
As long as those in the Merchant Alliance who have seen Ling Qingzhu use Moon Eyes have not seen Ling Qingzhu, the identity of the leader of Ling Qingzhu's Merchant Alliance will not be exposed, so the problem is not big.
With Ling Qingzhu's current strength, she no longer needs to worry about the threat of the dragon Ling family. The only thing she needs to consider is how to take revenge on the Ling family to resolve the hatred in her heart.
The guards were not given much time to prepare. It was a bit too exciting to unilaterally avoid the attack of the ninth-level monster at the speed of the second-level Pulse Condensing Realm, so after being notified, Ling Qingzhu immediately used Moon Eye.
