Chapter 67 Ma Wu’s trick

"Roar!"

At this moment, a low roar of a spiritual beast suddenly came from the distance, causing the group of people to change their expressions.

"How is it possible? It turns out to be the Bear of the Earth. This thing is a second-level spiritual beast when it is born. It is as powerful as a Gu cultivator in the marrow cleaning stage. Logically speaking, such a powerful spiritual beast will never appear in this area. Is it really true? Is there going to be a beast wave?"

Hearing the roar of the spiritual beast, Long Qilin was immediately frightened.

Hearing this, the group of casual cultivators who were still eager to try suddenly became weak, and the excitement on their faces disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Just now they were all eager to hunt large carnivorous spiritual beasts, but now their target finally appeared, and they all turned into soft-legged shrimps again.

How can their feet not feel weak? This is actually a second-level spiritual beast equivalent to the marrow-cleansing stage Gu cultivator. It's okay to let them kill rabbits. To deal with this second-level spiritual beast is simply to deliver food. You may not be able to eat enough.

“The Earth Bear is a solitary spiritual beast and has a rare ability called the Earth Thorn. If it is killed, this ability may be revealed.”

After Long Qilin was briefly shocked, he showed excitement again. The beast-killing explosion skill was the favorite of people like him, so he ran in the direction of the sound just now.

The faces of all the cultivators were bitter, and they could only follow reluctantly.

Long Xuan shook his head helplessly. He had just glanced at the Earth Bear. It looked good. With a wave of his hand, a patch of sharp earth thorns instantly sprouted from the ground. The prey had no chance of dodge and was directly pierced through. Heartbroken.

This ability to make the earth grow spikes is probably the thorns of the earth that Long Qilin talks about. No wonder it makes him so excited. This is indeed a terrifyingly lethal ability that will make everyone excited.

But he had looked with the eyes of heaven and found that there were no insects at all in the spiritual core of this earth bear.

Such a top-grade boss can’t explode anything, not even a low-grade spiritual insect. Who would have imagined this?

So Long Xuan did not recommend provoking this big guy at all.

When you have wasted half your strength and are covered in injuries, and finally manage to kill this big guy, only to find that none of the hair has popped out, then your mentality must be broken.

This is destined to be a losing business, and it is definitely not cost-effective to fight with it.

But he couldn't reveal that he had the ability to see through explosives, so even if he wanted to remind him, he didn't know how to do it. After thinking for a long time to no avail, he had no choice but to follow.

When he arrived, Long Qilin had already fought against the Earth Bear. None of the casual cultivators could intervene in a battle of this level and could only watch from the sidelines.

At this time, Long Xuan truly realized how terrifying the power of the Dragon Qilin was. The Earth Bear was a huge beast, four meters high, and the power of the Dragon Qilin could actually shake this giant beast.

The Earth Bear waved its huge bear paw and collided head-on with Long Qilin's fist. It turned out to be an even tie, with no one losing.

The Earth Bear was even almost knocked down by Dragon Qilin once, so he became angry and let out a deafening roar, becoming even more violent.

From time to time, a piece of earth thorn rises from the ground, but Long Qilin seems to know this move very well, and can always avoid it immediately, and then continue to fight with the earth bear in close combat.

To avoid accidentally injuring himself, the Earth Bear could only choose to stop releasing the Earth Thorn and choose to fight the Dragon Qilin in close combat.

The ground trembled every time the huge body moved, causing the ground to shake and dust to fly. Long Xuan was frightened to see it.

Through this battle, he truly realized how terrifying human power can be in this world.

However, he has also seen that it seems that Long Qilin and Earth Bear will not lose in a head-to-head confrontation, but if they continue to fight a protracted war, he will definitely be the loser.

Huge size has a huge advantage in purely physical battles. The opponent not only has to bear the power from it, but also the inertia from its huge body.

The greater the mass, the greater the inertia. The same applies to this world.

So Long Qilin not only has to withstand the power of the Earth Bear, but also the impact of the four-meter-tall body. His consumption is naturally much higher than that of the Earth Bear.

What's more, the physical strength of spiritual beasts is stronger than that of humans. If Long Qilin continues to fight like this and there is no other way to break the situation, the situation will be critical.

Long Qilin is not stupid. He obviously knows his situation and cannot continue to fight a protracted war with the Earth Bear.

So he found an opportunity to distance himself, and used another fighting method. He put his hands together, put his little finger, ring finger, and thumb together, raised his index finger and middle finger, and suddenly a huge palm made of soil came out of the ground. He stood up and slapped the Earth Bear hard.

The Earth Bear dodged nimbly, dodging the slaps of giant hands one after another. Every time the giant hand falls, the ground will shake and make an ear-splitting roar. The ground will also be left with huge handprints, which is shocking.

Long Xuan was shocked by this battle scene. There was so much fighting noise and so much destructive power. Is this the power of the marrow cleansing stage Gu cultivator?

This kind of giant hand rising from the ground is definitely an innate ability of the Gu insect, and spiritual magic cannot complete such an attack anyway.

He is worthy of being a genius Gu cultivator who comes from a rich clan. The strength of his Gu bugs is far better than that of casual cultivators. Is this the power of the unique Gu cultivator from a rich clan? Long Xuan thought in horror.

It was also at this time that the Earth Bear failed to react in time and was attacked by a hand that suddenly stretched out from under its feet, firmly grabbing its ankle and preventing it from moving.

Lose the ability to move, and naturally can no longer dodge the attacks of those giant hands.

Huge palms fell one after another, slapped the Earth Bear hard, and then pressed it firmly to the ground.

As the Earth Bear was pushed down, the ground shook violently, and the dust and gravel were shaken up, blocking the sight of the cultivators. Only the roar of the Earth Bear could be heard continuously in the dust, which was deafening.

But the battle is not over yet.

Although Long Qilin's move was terrifying and blinded all the casual cultivators, it had a fatal flaw.

That is to say, Gu cultivators need remote control to use this ability. Although they can move themselves, they cannot use the second ability while maintaining the hand of the earth, otherwise the hand rising from the ground will collapse due to the interruption of spiritual power.

So the Earth Bear kept roaring in the dust, but the Dragon Qilin had no follow-up attack means, and the scene could only remain in a stalemate for a while.

Long Qilin shouted anxiously: "My hand of the earth didn't beat it to death. Now I can only restrict its ability to move."

“The people and beasts bound by the hand of the earth will have all their abilities imprisoned, and at the same time, I will also be restricted and can no longer use any abilities.”

“I can only rely on you now. Go and kill the Bear of the Earth now. Don’t worry, it can no longer use the Thorn of the Earth under the restrictions of the Hand of the Earth!”

The group of casual cultivators looked at each other in disbelief. After looking at each other, they gritted their teeth and ran towards the Earth Bear together.

Since it has lost the ability to move and cannot use any abilities, there is nothing to be afraid of.

At this time, the Earth Bear was like a Monkey King being pinned down by the Wuzhi Mountain. Only his head was exposed outside the mountain, and the rest of his body was completely pinned down by the mountain. He couldn't even stretch out an arm.

Seeing this situation, the group of casual cultivators felt even more relieved, and they all took out their low-grade spiritual swords and chopped at the Earth Bear's head.

However, their attack of this level was just to scratch the surface of the Earth Bear. They fought for a long time but failed to break its defense.

Although all the abilities of the Earth Bear are imprisoned by the Hand of the Earth and cannot be used, it is already in a completely undefended state at this time.

However, due to its rough skin and thick flesh, it can still withstand all attacks from casual cultivators in the Spirit Gathering Stage.

The casual cultivators tried their best, but failed to cause any effective damage to it.

The Gu insects released by Ma Lao and Zhang Ling bit at the Earth Bear's face for a long time, but failed to break its defense. Instead, the Earth Bear stretched out its tongue and rolled it into its mouth, and then bit it into pieces and swallowed it.

The old woman named Hanmei took out her silver needle and pierced the Earth Bear's eyes. The eyes were undoubtedly the weak point of all living things. However, as soon as its eyelids were closed, the silver needle pierced the eyelids, but it did not penetrate.

Instead, it angered it. The Earth Bear opened its mouth and roared. A huge wind wave was exhaled from its **** mouth. It actually blew the old woman away in one breath, and then the whole person hit a huge tree not far away, and hit it hard again. He fell to the ground and suffered serious injuries.

Seeing this scene, Long Qilin almost vomited blood. He knew that the casual cultivator was weak, but he never expected that he would be so weak. He was seriously injured by the spirit beast in one breath. How exaggerated was it?

Ma Wu has been hiding on the side of the Earth Bear, but he was not blown away by the Earth Bear in one breath.

He showed a disdainful expression and sneered in his heart.

Long Qilin really overestimated the strength of this group of casual cultivators. The Earth Bear was famous for its rough skin and thick flesh. How could a group of casual cultivators easily break through their defenses?

It is no exaggeration to say that the bear of the earth is lying there sleeping, and the casual cultivator can't do anything to it. The casual cultivator's attack is equivalent to giving it a massage, which makes it sleep more soundly.

"I come!"

Long Xuan couldn't stand it anymore and finally ran over.

They are all the same team, and everyone will be prosperous and suffer losses. If this group of casual cultivators and Long Qilin consume too much, or even suffer serious injuries, it will directly affect his safety rate in the future.

So he can't just watch at this time, he must find a way to deal with this earth bear as soon as possible.

Seeing Long Xuan rushing over, Ma Wu's disdain became even more intense. Among this group of people, he was at the lowest level and the weakest. Why did he come here? Did he come here to be blown away in one breath?

Long Qilin also had no hope for him at this time.

Long Xuan learned from Han Mei’s lesson and did not walk in front of the Earth Bear. Instead, he chose to go around the side of the Earth Bear and then stood at the left temple of the Earth Bear.

As soon as he got closer, Long Xuan could clearly feel the heat waves coming from the Earth Bear's body, as well as the violent and sonorous heartbeat.

He couldn't help but feel horrified in his heart. What a terrifying spiritual beast. It could be so powerful even if it didn't move. I really don't know how Long Qilin had a head-on confrontation with this monster just now.

At this time, he had no time to think about it and looked at the temple of the Earth Bear.

The temples can be considered a small weakness of all living beings. At this time, the Earth Bear's temples were bulging and covered with veins, rising and falling with the sound of his heartbeat.

He gave this striking temple a palm.

“Destroying Palm!”

At the same time, his left palm also fell.

“Destroying Palm!”

Long Xuan had always been an overly cautious character, and he was extremely suspicious. He was already in the terminal stage of his suspicion and could no longer be cured. He was afraid that the Earth Bear would fake his death or not die completely, so he attacked from left to right with both palms, one after another, continuously. Continuously.

“Destroying Palm!”

“Destroying Palm!”

“Destroying Palm!”

Relying on his strong spiritual power, he didn’t know how many times he slapped the Earth Bear on the head.

Until the Earth Bear's heartbeat stopped completely, he carefully stretched his hand under its nose.

Seeing that there was no hot breath coming out, he finally relaxed his vigilance.

Then he slapped his nose again.

It was only at this time that everyone realized belatedly that the Earth Bear was dead. He died silently. They didn't even know when or how he died, and they were confused.

"How is it possible? How did he do it!" Seeing that Long Xuan killed the Earth Bear easily, Ma Wu opened his eyes wide with disbelief, and his gaze gradually began to change. dignified.

Long Qilin looked at him with a shocked look, and finally withdrew the power of the Earth Gu. The huge palm pressing on the Earth Bear instantly turned into a piece of broken soil and spread out, and a piece of dust flew up in the space again.

He also sat down on the ground, breathing heavily.

Obviously, the move he just used was a huge drain on him, as both his spiritual power and physical strength were about to bottom out.

Fortunately, Long Xuan dealt with this earth bear, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Long Qilin looked at the body of the Earth Bear with excitement in his eyes, and then regardless of his excessive consumption, he hurried over, ready to see what good things had exploded immediately.

He couldn't wait to take out a high-grade sword-like spiritual weapon, and then easily cut open the Earth Bear's chest and took out the spiritual core hidden in the center of the chest.

The positions of the spiritual cores in the spirit beasts' bodies vary. Some are in the brain, and some are in the chest. However, the spirit core of the Earth Bear is generally located on the chest, and is very large, like a basketball, shimmering. Exuding majestic spiritual power.

However, when Long Qilin looked at the spiritual core in his hand, he could no longer laugh. His expression was completely frozen on his face and he said nothing.

My mentality is completely broken...

As Long Xuan saw, although the fighting power of this earth bear was ridiculously strong, its body was surprisingly empty, and nothing would explode after death.

In other words, their hard work for most of the day was in vain.

Not only were they exhausted and exhausted, several Gu insects died, and Han Mei was also injured. This was a huge loss.

“How could this happen! This shouldn’t be the case!”

The casual cultivators looked at the spiritual core that did not carry any spiritual insects, and their expressions were all ugly.

The Earth Bear with such terrifying combat power, it took a lot of effort to kill it. Logically speaking, even if it does not explode the top-grade spiritual insect, it should also explode a high-grade spiritual insect?

The result was unexpected and there was not even a single low-grade spiritual insect. Who would have thought of this?

This result was beyond everyone's expectations. They were so depressed that they almost vomited blood, and everyone's mentality collapsed.

Only Long Xuan, who already knew the result, stood there with an unchanging expression. This was all expected...

“Forget it! It’s just bad luck for us, we’ve been working in vain.”

Long Qilin sighed and added: "But the beast materials of the Earth Bear are also worth some spiritual stones. Let's all share them, which can make up for the loss."

“And the meat of the Earth Bear is also of good quality. Let’s replenish our physical strength before setting off. If the storage bag has a lot of space, you can also bring back some more Earth Bear meat.”

As soon as Long Qilin finished speaking, Long Xuan walked straight towards the paw of the bear of the earth.

The most delicious thing about a bear is naturally the bear paw. It was quite difficult to eat this dish in the previous life, but today I finally got the chance to eat it.

Even though the others were unwilling to do so, they had no choice but to go over and divide the animals' materials and meat.

Ma Wu was not so impatient and did not fight with everyone. Instead, he got angry and set up a pot.

Long Xuan was in the advanced stages of his suspicion and had been secretly observing Ma Wu from beginning to end.

As a poor casual cultivator, he has always been greedy. To show humility at this time is completely inconsistent with the normal psychology of a poor casual cultivator, which further strengthened Long Xuan's suspicion of his identity.

 While handling the animal meat, he secretly watched his movements with the eyes of heaven to prevent him from poisoning the pot.

It seemed like this overly cautious move actually made him discover clues unintentionally.

At this time, Ma Wu actually took out a black incense burner and put it into the fire, and lit the contents inside. It burned with the surrounding wood and released thick smoke.

“Cense burner? Why did he take out the censer? Can it be used to cook meat?”

Long Xuan was suspicious and used the Eye of Heaven to enlarge the fire, intending to see what was fishy.

At this sight, he suddenly broke into a cold sweat, his hair stood up instantly, and goosebumps appeared on his skin.

It looks like thick smoke is billowing from the fire. It is normal for the fire to emit smoke.

But hidden under the thick smoke were actually little insects with hideous and terrifying faces.

It was from that incense burner that he ran out along with the thick smoke.

The little bugs are very small and difficult to see with the naked eye. They are spreading along the thick smoke and flying towards the people who are dividing the animal materials.

“I’m so stupid!”

Long Xuan's face changed drastically. He stood up instantly in shock, turned around and ran away.

After running far away, he remembered to remind everyone, and turned around and shouted: "Get away from the smoke quickly, there are bugs in there!"

"What?"

Everyone was shocked and turned pale. They threw down the animal meat one after another, and then they hurriedly covered their mouths and noses. They were so frightened that they ran out as hard as they could without losing four legs.

Long Qilin, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground to recover his spiritual power, was also startled and opened his eyes instantly. Although he hadn't realized what was going on, his survival instinct forced him to subconsciously run away.

After everyone ran away for a distance, Li Laodao looked back at Ma Wu with a livid face, and cursed angrily: "You are such a loser! You actually put poison in the thick smoke!"

“How many spiritual stones can the animal materials in the marrow cleaning stage be worth? As for that? You have to kill all of us for such a small profit. Are you still a human being?”

Li Laodao still has lingering fears. What he is best at is poisoning, and he is the best at poisoning in the city. However, even if he is proficient in this art, he has never heard of this kind of poisoning method. This is the first time he has seen it, and he almost fell asleep. Got it.

It's so suspenseful. Fortunately, Long Xuan reminded me, otherwise I would have been in big trouble. The more Li Laodao thought about it, the more frightened and angry he became.

The rest of the people also looked at Ma Wu with furious eyes, just waiting for him to swarm and tear him apart without giving a reasonable explanation.

Ma Wu looked at Long Xuan with a vicious look, and kept cursing in his heart, it was him again, it was him again, he had ruined good things twice in a row!

How on earth did he see through my method of poisoning? There is absolutely no way anyone in this area knows this method of poisoning.

But there was no time for him to think at this time, so he could only forcefully argue: "Don't spit on others, when did I bewitch you? I am in the thick smoke now, how come nothing happened?"

"You said I was bewitched, so you have to show evidence. You have to pay a price for slandering me!" Ma Wu pointed at Long Xuan's nose and yelled.

Hearing Ma Wu's explanation, everyone looked at Long Xuan again.

Of course, it was impossible for Long Xuan to tell everyone about the power of the Eye of Heaven. He said casually: "There is no evidence. Believe it or not is up to you. If you believe it, just go into the thick smoke and try it."

However, even though Long Xuan could not provide evidence to prove that the young man was poisoned, no one had the courage to walk towards the thick smoke at this time.

In matters related to your own life, you would rather believe it or not. You only have one life, so you must not be careless.

So even if Long Xuan couldn't produce any evidence, no casual cultivator would dare to walk over and risk himself.

Including dragon unicorn.

He looked at Ma Wu who was in the thick smoke for a while, and at Long Xuan for a while. Although he didn't know who to believe, he didn't dare to get close to the smoke easily. Anyone who bets on whether there is a poison in the smoke is stupid. .

Seeing that no one came over, Ma Wu felt secretly resentful, knowing that even if he had a way to argue, they would never come over, and the plan failed completely.

He hated Long Xuan so much that his teeth itched.

Since the plan has failed, there is no need for him to disguise himself. He shouted in the distance: "The plan has failed. There is no need to hide anymore. Let's attack directly."

As soon as he finished speaking, nine people rushed out from behind the trees, grass, and boulders in front and behind the cultivators. They quickly rushed to the front and surrounded the people.

“Hahaha...Long Qilin! You are alone!”

The man in red who spoke exuded a powerful aura from the early stage of marrow cleansing, which made all the casual cultivators change their expressions.

"Long Qilin! I didn't expect it! Although you escaped the disaster just now, you have just experienced a great battle and are seriously exhausted. How can you be the opponent of my two brothers?"

The man with a similar appearance on the side also exuded the aura of the early stage of marrow cleansing, and shocked the group of casual cultivators. At this time, their faces were extremely ugly.

This group of unkind people actually had two early stages of marrow cleansing, and their side had not only been severely depleted in the previous battle, but also lost several Gu worms. Once the two sides clashed, it would not be that they would lose more than they would win. Defeat is certain.

The more they thought about it, the heavier their hearts became.

Long Xuan sighed in his heart. There were progress everywhere in the forest. Every weed on the ground had progress. The numbers were densely packed. His vision was so cluttered. Plus his attention was always on Ma Wu, so he really didn't notice it. There's someone behind the bunker.

He couldn't help but look at Li Laodao and asked: "Is this what you call 100% safe? Is this what you call reliable?"

However, Li Laodao was still in the mood to say this at this time, and said with a very ugly face: "I'm afraid we are in big trouble. These people are Gu cultivators of the Feng family, and the dragon and phoenix families have always been feuding."

“That Ma Wu was obviously their thorn in the side. This was a long-planned assassination they arranged against Long Qilin, and we were involved inadvertently!”

“When we team up with Long Qilin, we are on a collision course! Everyone, let’s think about how to survive now!”

Li Laodao's words cast a layer of gloom in the hearts of all the casual cultivators, and despair gradually appeared in their eyes.

Even though they were careful enough and hired a master to **** them for 100% safety, accidents were everywhere. The ship they boarded was not only unsafe, but also a dangerous ship.

This is really a disaster that comes from the sky, and everything in the world is unpredictable. If God wants you to die, no matter how careful you are or how well prepared you are, it will be useless.
