Chapter 362: SparkGrizzlies

The bears' faces turned angry.Meanwhile, the cultivators that guarded the caravan quickly became alert. Now, the bears already felt their presence.

"This qi, I recognize this. It's from those SparkGrizzlies. We need to run quick."

"What? Run!? We have a deal. You will protect us till the next city."

"This is not our fault! You lied to us. You said you are just transporting normal items. If this is true, there is no way those SparkGrizzlies come to us."

"A spirit beast going for a human is nothing new. What are you talking about?" The merchant asked in confusion and disbelief. He felt he had just been scammed by this cultivator.

Other cultivators also felt confused by this cultivator's remark.

"As I said, I recognize this qi! I have fought with some of them some distance away from here. This is quite far, so I never thought those beasts would come all the way here. Except you have some precious material or artifact that contains a lightning element." The experienced cultivator said with a complaint.

"Slander! Let's say we really bring that kind of precious item. Do you think we cannot hire a better guard? Also, you think we would be stupid enough to not contain and hide it inside a storage item?"

Even though storage rings can only be used by cultivators, there are many other storage items invented to be used by merchants. Cultivators are too busy pursuing their path, but this doesn't mean they don't need money.

That is why they often create items that can help to boost the economy. A wagon with expanded storage, a special box, and many other items were then invented.

If the item is considered precious, sometimes cultivators prefer to use merchants to transport it. There are many reasons, but most do this to avoid suspicion from their enemy.

Normally no one would think to let a normal civilian transport an exotic artifact. Even though this method became known and popular later on, it is still effective as there are just too many caravans moving from city to city to send items and cargo. There is no way they can check everything one by one.

"Who knows? Maybe you think hiring a better guard will raise suspicion. A random caravan with a bunch of random cultivators as guards, no one will think you have anything precious.

But I stand my case; those beasts wouldn't have come here this far if there was really nothing good for them. Anyway, I am out!" The cultivator said, quickly flying away toward the sky, leaving the group.

The other cultivators looked at each other's eyes. They started feeling reluctance. The cultivators that left had a cultivation realm similar to theirs. If he ran like this, just how strong was the beast?

No one had ever heard of this beast before.

Unfortunately, their confusion lasted too long. The beasts had already reached their destination. The purplish bears came into their view.

They didn't quickly make their attack; the bears looked at the cultivators and the wagon, studying them one by one.

"GROARRR!" The bear at the back roared, signaling the others to start the attack.

Qi and sparks of elements quickly flew in the air like fireworks. At first, the cultivators were winning, but they then quickly realized why the other cultivator decided to escape.

These spirit beasts were now at the Elemental stage, but all the cultivators were at the late nascent soul realm. Normally, they would have no problem fighting back, but these bears were just different.

They were very robust and smart. The beasts moved with formation, helping each other. They tried to separate the cultivators then gang up on one of them.

Their fur was also hard to pierce. Even when they succeeded, the wound would quickly get healed. Sёarch* The Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The bears' attacks also contained electricity, making them feel paralyzed. This made one hit easily become fatal, as the bears would proceed with a chain of attacks.

Zold watched everything unfold with cold eyes, he was waiting for at least one or two cultivators to meet their demise before he intervened.

The bear's maw squished one of the female cultivator's heads into a pancake after it succeeded in piercing through her defense. The attack instantly killed her body, but her nascent soul still survived.

In horror, she saw what this beast did next to her body. The creature didn't care about her appearance or beauty. Her soft flesh was just a delicacy in the creature's jaw.

Her perfect curve, her pleasant smell that many men wooed her for, it all was worth nothing in the eyes of the beast.

The bear's jaw crushed toward her torso, then began munching toward her qi core. Unable to see it anymore, the woman quickly escaped with her soul. Who knew if the bear could eat her soul next? It was absurd, but she didn't want to take any risks.

As a soul, she easily escaped, phasing through many trees. In the process, the woman caught a glimpse of Zold looking from the distance.

She burned his appearance in her memory as she left the place. IT didn't take a genius to realize this man had some responsibility for what happened.

"This should be enough," Zold mumbled. He decided to intervene.

Their beast fur might be thick and strong, but under Zold's attack, it was nothing. He infused normal qi into his dagger, which was boosted by lifeforce.

SWOSH!

He threw his dagger like a missile piercing through the air. It easily entered the bear's back and then left through its chest.

The knife hit the ground then sparks of electricity exploded out. Zold appeared in the battlefield. Without looking at the other cultivators, he started moving quickly.

Easily killing each of the beasts one by one without a problem. The people that survived were not dumb. Some of them thought of the possibility that this man had some hand in this incident.

But what could they do?
