"Oh my god, what are you doing, Little Monster? There's no need to cause such a ruckus, isn't it?" Halfway up the mountain, Qin Hao mumbled depressingly, but he did not dare to be negligent, and afraid that something terrible would happen to it. He activated Phantom Cloud Trace to its limitation and disappeared from the foot of the mountain.
Just as Qin Hao was about to reach the peak, a huge monster suddenly rushed down, causing him to stop in his tracks due to fright hastily. He looked carefully and found that it was a small monster who rushed down.
During the night, the fur of the monster was glittering with golden light. The two horns on its head had also grown a bit. Its body was as enormous as a mighty steed, and it emitted the aura of an overlord, which belonged to spirit beasts alone.
"It ate so many Spirit Accumulation Stones, could it be that it leveled up?" Qin Hao had guessed this, and this made his jaw nearly drop to the ground. Fuck, this is incredible. The method of humans' cultivation is to absorb the Spirit Qi of Spirit Accumulation Stone, but the monster ate directly. Humans and beasts were genuinely different.
Little monster was very excited. It had been born in this world for hundreds of years, but it had never had the chance to level up and become a real Spiritual Beast. So, it was at most a little higher in rank than an ordinary beast. Today it leveled up a bit, so it became a real Spiritual Beast. All of this was given by Qin Hao, so it was extremely grateful to Qin Hao. It rushed down and snorted around Qin Hao.
"What a good Spiritual Beast. With only a bit of leveling up, you could already possess such an imposing aura. You will definitely become extraordinary in the future."
Following an aged voice, Qin Hao stopped touching the monster's head, turned around, and shouted loudly: "Who is it!"
"Sou, sou" With two sounds, two human figures flew out from the forest and caught Qin Hao and the monster in the middle.
Qin Hao's pupils shrank as he glanced over the two old men. It was extremely contrasting because one was dressed in white and had white hair, and the other was dressed in black and had black hair.
"Kid, is this spirit beast yours? Tsk-tsk, it's such a pity for it to follow you. Waste the gift from Heaven." Old Man Black had an expression of regret.
"Who are you?" Qin Hao used his Spirit Sense to lock onto the two of them. The strength of these two people exceeded the detection range of his Spirit Sense, so they must be experts from the Spirit Stage at least.
The Spirit Stage was an invincible existence in the city. Usually, it would be hard to see even one. Now he met two, and they besieged him, Qin Hao felt that he was damn out of luck.
"You don't need to know who we are. What you need to know is that this spirit beast now belongs to us." The Old Man Black standing on top answered him.
Qin Hao glanced at the monster, who was a Spirit Beast indeed. It seemed to understand Old Man Black's intentions, and roared at him immediately, opening its mouth, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth.
Qin Hao shrugged his shoulders, "As you can see, little monster doesn't like you."
"It's not important. We like it. It's enough." Old Man White took over the talk.
"Brat, if you don't want to die, scram! Right now!" Old Man Black was already impatient, and his tone revealed the killing intent.
Killing people to rob their goods; these two men were no different from bandits.
"Di, Di, Di."
"Bang, bang, bang."
Suddenly, three sharp howls sounded from the other side of the mountain. Three bullets flew up into the air and exploded, forming a strange pattern.
The three confronting people looked at the pattern in the night sky. Qin Hao felt a sense of novelty, but the two old men's faces changed instantly.
"Second Brother, the Young Lord has called for us, urgently, let's go!" Old Man White shouted.
"How is this spirit beast?" Old Man Black looked at the monster and shouted. He did not move his feet and was not willing to let this spirit beast go.
Naturally, Old Man White was also unwilling to give up a spirit beast that they had found with much difficulty, so he shouted without hesitation: "Solve it quickly."
"Alright." Old Man Black attacked immediately, he moved as fast as the wind, his claws grabbing onto the monster's horns, at the same time, Qin Hao also attacked, his palm striking towards Old Man Black.
No matter how fast Qin Hao was, he would not be able to escape the Old Man Black's eyes. After all, the difference in strength between the two of them was too significant. Old Man Black did not dodge nor block as his claws continued getting closer to little monster. At the same time, he revealed a faint sneer filled with contempt towards Qin Hao.
"Bam."
Qin Hao used all his might to strike at Old Man Black's chest, but the one that flew out was not Old Man Black, but Qin Hao. Qin Hao was like a cannonball that had been fired in reverse. With a strange cry, he flew down the hill. The slope was steep, so no one knew how far he had to go.
With Qin Hao's current strength, he might have a chance if he met with an expert in the late period of Perfection Stage, but he was not able to fight against experts above Spirit Stage. As long as the Old Man Black moved Qi to his chest, not only was he able to take over the palm, he even sent him to fly out.
However, after this attack ended, the black and white men's faces filled with their surprise, because when Qin Hao flew out, the monster suddenly disappeared, and the Old Man Black's claw caught nothing.
So, it turned out that Qin Hao had put the monster inside his spatial ring just now. He definitely would not let the beast be caught by these two bandits. Since no air living beings need to survive, it was not suitable to contain living creatures in the ring. However, holding breath for a short time should not be a problem, let alone it was a spirit beat, so it should be able to hold its breath for a longer time.
"Big Brother, chase it!" Old Man Black did not give up and wanted to chase them, but was stopped by Old Man White, "Forget it, Young Master's urgent summoning is more important."
"Are we going to give up just like that? That's a spirit beast, big brother!" Old Man Black emphasized.
Old Man White laughed sinisterly, "Don't worry; I have already marked that brat's body. He won't be able to escape, that spirit beast will be ours sooner or later."
When Old Man Black heard this, he remembered his brother's ability and did not persist anymore. "Alright, we will let that brat go for now, and reckon with him later. Let's go!" With that, one black and one white silhouette flew towards the other side of the mountain.
"Oh, poof!"
The two of them had not even traveled half of a kilometer when Old Man Black suddenly stopped, and he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of black blood.
"Second brother, what's wrong with you?" Old Man White hurriedly held onto Old Man Black and looked down at his chest. Over there, the black Qi was surrounding and scared Old Man White, whose face turned pale. He screamed, "Poisonous gas?"
"That, that little bastard's palm was poisonous, I will kill him!" Old Man Black endured the pain in his chest and gritted his teeth as he roared.
That black aura was the Evil Yin poison that Qin Hao had released. Fortunately, he was so strong that the poison had only activated now. If the poison were in the bodies of ordinary cultivators, it would have activated much earlier, and they would have been corroded by far.
"AHHHHHHH!" The intense pain penetrated deep into his bone marrow, even with such strength, Old Man Black couldn't help but scream miserably.
"Sit down quickly and force the poison out." The Old Man White shouted for the Old Man Black to sit down. At this time, he couldn't care about the Young Master's urgent summons anymore; his life was more important.
After the Old Man Black sat down, he pushed a strong surge of inner force against his chest in an attempt to force the poison out. Unfortunately, his efforts only slightly reduced the speed at which the poison gas was emitting, and then the poison gas continued slowly swallowing his bone marrow.
"How is it? Is it better?" Looking at Old Man Black's face filled with sweat and the black aura that was not weakening on his chest, Old Man White was extremely anxious.
"This poison is too, too overbearing. I can't force it out." Old Man Black's teeth began to tremble.
"Take the antidote quickly." Old Man White frantically searched his body, and finally fished out a few pills. He stuffed all of them into Old Man Black's mouth, but it was still useless in the end. The black gas was still spreading and getting thicker.
"Ah, ah — Big brother, big brother, kill me." Old Man Black finally could not endure anymore and let out a heart-wrenching scream.
Hearing Old Man Black's terrible scream, Old Man White hurriedly took out a snow-white medicinal pill and roared: "Second Brother, hang on, I still have the best pill here. Eat it quickly, and it will definitely be useful."
When Old Man Black saw it, his eyes lit up, and a glimmer of hope rose. "Snow Lotus, Snow Lotus Pill?"
After eating the Snow Lotus Pill, Old Man Black focused the Snow Lotus Pill's medicinal properties on his chest with inner force immediately. Not long later, the poisonous gas seemed to have been controlled, and the bone marrow pain gradually weakened.
Seeing that Old Man Black's expression had eased up, Old Man White heaved a sigh of relief. It was finally useful, but he had only let it go halfway, and Old Man Black's words again made him anxious, "Big brother, this pill can only help me control the poison gas temporarily, it still cannot get rid of it. If I want to remove the poison, we have to capture that little bastard and bring him back."
"Alright, just you wait for me. I'll go and capture that little bastard right now. I won't forgive him." The Old Man White's face was filled with anger. After comforting the Old Man Black with a few words, he turned into a whirlwind in the night and rushed down the hill.
In the grass of hillside, Qin Hao was hiding in it, he treated himself and tried his best to hide the fluctuation of his inner breath. The little monster had also transformed into the appearance of a kitten as it lay on his leg.
Qin Hao had already cultivated Eternity Spell to the last level, the third level of Qi Refining, so his ability to heal himself was no longer the same as before, it was several times stronger than before. His internal injury was caused by the shock from the Old Man Black, so He needed some time to heal it up.
Experts above Spirit Stage were just too terrifying, and in front of them, he was nothing, it made him depressed. He had initially thought that he would be able to do whatever he wanted once he reached Martial Cultivator of the third step. Now, he realized that he was just scum, and his strength was still too weak.
He was still planning to go to the Ancient Martial World, but considering it, he was not even the strongest expert in the city. He could not stand against the seven major sects with his current strength, let alone Ancient Martial World.
The seven major sects would definitely have one or two Spirit Stage experts guarding them, which was not something he could handle. He had to increase his strength as soon as possible, and Qin Hao once again desired to increase his power.
Just as he was thinking about these, his ears suddenly twitched, as if he had sensed something, and probed out the Spirit Sense hurriedly.
When he was at the Peak of the Second Stage, his Spirit Sense was at a radius of five hundred meters. Now, he was a real Martial Cultivator of the third step, and his Spirit Sense was already at a radius of a thousand meters. But he was injured now, so his sense could only search two hundred meters
Within a radius of two hundred meters, he discovered soon a person flying towards him. It seemed that he was one of the two old men.
"F * ck, he actually came." Qin Hao's heart tightened and his body trembled.
The monster on his leg seemed to have felt something and stood up with a snort. It shook the shiny fur on its body and looked in a specific direction with wide eyes vigilantly.
