Chapter 70 The Beast Tide Erupts (with illustrations)
Three days passed by, and Long Xuan's injuries were almost healed thanks to the powerful self-healing power of the little strong Gu.
Of course he couldn't write anything in these three days, but he still gained something.
At least he knew that this Gu recipe required not only nine top-quality spiritual insects, but also the corresponding body parts of nine kinds of spiritual beasts.
For example, if a dragon's head looks like a deer, then there must be antlers in the Gu prescription.
For example, dragon scales are like fish, so there must be fish scales in the Gu recipe.
For another example, the dragon's claws resemble those of an eagle, so there must be eagle claws in the Gu recipe.
And it cannot be the material of ordinary spiritual beasts, it must be the material of rare spiritual beasts, and it must come from the beast king.
Any material that does not have the spirit of a king will not work.
How can the price become cheaper in this case? Collecting nine kinds of beast king materials at the same time can make you vomit blood, plus nine top-quality spiritual insects.
Long Xuan's scalp was numb. It was too expensive. It was already so expensive even before he wrote down a few ingredients. When the Gu recipe was completed, he would have to use up half of his small treasury? Long Xuan's face was uglier than crying.
Since the injury was almost healed, Long Xuan no longer planned to stay in the tree.
For the liver gu recipe, you still need to go home to remove the liver, in a quiet place without being disturbed.
This is a place where people have to be on tenterhooks and are seriously distracted, so it’s not a good place to do research.
Just as Long Xuan was about to get down from the tree, he suddenly saw a cheetah climbing up a nearby tree with prey in its mouth. His pupils shrank instantly.
Who told him that it was dangerous to climb a tree and it was safe? I promise not to kill him.
So Long Xuan didn't dare to move, he didn't even dare to take a breath, for fear that the cheetah would notice his prey.
This is a spiritual beast that can climb up trees. If you are targeted by it, you will really have no place to run, and you may have to take another vitality bullet.
He didn't dare to make the slightest sound. The hearing of many spiritual beasts was dozens or even hundreds of times that of humans. He couldn't afford to gamble.
It wasn’t until the cheetah lay down on the trunk of the tree and fell asleep after a delicious meal in the tree that he felt relieved, climbed down from the tree carefully, and finally left here as if fleeing.
Along the way, his eyes of heaven were open the whole time.
His celestial eye can see spiritual beasts from very far away, so he can avoid danger in time. He will not run into the spiritual beast's perception range like other casual cultivators. When he wants to run away again, he will use the spiritual beast's How could he run at such terrifying speed?
I have to say that Long Xuan's eye was of great help to him. The help of the Eye of Heaven and the Golden Finger was enough to help him avoid more than 90% of the dangers in the forest.
But just because of this, he basically wouldn't encounter any danger, so his courage gradually became bigger.
You must know that the dragon poison recipe he is creating requires nine kinds of top-quality spiritual insects. If he collects them step by step, how long will it take to collect them?
So he had to take a desperate risk and try to hunt the spiritual beast.
You must know that it is not possible for him to find the best spiritual insects in the forest, but he will definitely find the best spiritual insects. His golden finger is simply a bug in this world.
It was simply a problem that the top-quality spiritual insect talisman he found did not meet his requirements, which was also difficult for him.
There are so many types of top-quality spiritual insects in this world. How could he just happen to meet the type he needs?
So even if he had a cheat, it would not be easy to find a suitable target.
This search took Long Xuan a full month.
In this month, he encountered countless spiritual beasts carrying spiritual insects, and he even encountered several spiritual beasts carrying the best spiritual insects.
However, none of these top-quality spirit insects were the species he needed. In addition, the spirit beasts were so powerful that he was not sure whether he could defeat them and did not dare to take risks, so he left without any regrets.
His character is like this. The safety of his life is more important than anything else. Even if there is a huge treasure in front of him, he will not be tempted to take risks. Unless it is 100% safe, he will not consider even a 10% risk rate.
After searching for a month, just when he was about to give up, his hard work paid off and he found a spiritual beast that fully met his standards.
When he saw this spiritual beast, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then Long Xuan quickly ran over and searched for the best spiritual insect for a month. It was really easy for him to find, and he also Not easy.
In the sight of the Eye of Heaven, there is a big green fish lying on the shore basking in the sun.
This big fish is already as tall as a person, with green scales all over its body, and two pairs of front and rear fins that are very large and powerful, and can actually support it walking on the shore. A fierce look.
It was the fish species he was looking for called the dragon fish. After repeated attempts, he found that the material for the dragon poison must be the parasite of the dragon fish, and not any other fish species. Otherwise, how could he have gone to such a big effort to get enough? It took a full month to find the target.
And this big arowana happened to have a top-grade spiritual insect lying on its spiritual core. God was really helping him.
Long Xuan suddenly became excited. After approaching the target, he began to walk carefully, not letting his footsteps make any sound, so as not to scare the big dragon fish back into the water.
Once the dragon fish returns to the water, it will be a fish entering the sea, and it will be extremely difficult to catch it.
Finally, Long Xuan leaned behind a big tree to block the sight of the big arowana, and began to think about **** the big arowana.
The aura of this big dragon fish is that of a first-level peak spiritual beast, which is the benchmark for Gu cultivators at the peak of spirit gathering.
Long Xuan possesses the Ten Jue Body and can fight across levels. He is capable of fighting against this big dragon fish.
However, Long Xuan's over-cautious mentality began to rise again. Although he was capable of fighting, what if something happened to him?
At the same level, spirit beasts are much stronger than Gu cultivators, so how can they be treated as Gu cultivators at the peak of gathering spirits? What if I am defeated, or if it simply escapes back into the water without fighting?
Long Xuan had ten thousand possibilities in his heart.
From his point of view, there is no battle in this world that has a 100% chance of winning. So far, all his opponents believe that they will win, and they will be lenient in all circumstances. However, what is the result?
The grass on their graves has grown so tall, and this batch has no bones left, not even their graves.
Therefore, Long Xuan does not intend to rush forward recklessly. The biggest difference between humans and beasts is the huge difference in IQ. He must use the most stable method to solve the battle and never take any risks, even if he has a 90% success rate. Will take risks.
Long Xuan thought for a moment, and found that there were really not many things he could use, not even the original realm. This guy was the king of beasts, and his realm was higher than his own.
After much thought, he finally placed a large jar of distilled wine on the ground, and then hid himself in a hidden position in the tree.
Spiritual wine contains huge spiritual power and has the effect of elixir, which is very attractive to spiritual beasts.
Especially since this is a jar of spicy wine, drinking it will permanently increase your strength, which will make it even more attractive to spiritual beasts.
At the same time, spicy wine is also the strongest among the four flavors of wine.
Even though this big arowana is huge, it can't stand firm once the wine is drunk. Even the wine Gu Xiaobai can't withstand the intensity of the distilled wine, let alone a spiritual beast?
As long as it drinks, it will definitely become drunk, and then the big arowana will become the meat on his knife board and be slaughtered by him.
Even if it knows how to restrain itself from tasting it and does not get drunk, as long as the plan is to lure it away from the seaside, it can be regarded as a success.
Fish are definitely best at water battles. You must keep them away from the sea. Fighting inland will definitely reduce a fish's combat effectiveness by more than ten times. By then, even if you are discovered and forced to fight head-on, your chances of winning will be much greater.
This can also prevent it from quickly escaping back to the sea once it is defeated. It is simply killing two birds with one stone.
Suddenly considering that the spiritual wine might not be able to attract the big arowana, Long Xuan put honey and a large amount of spiritual pills on the ground, including spirit-gathering pills, and then hid in the tree again. He has learned from his enemies a long time ago that he should be lenient when he expects the enemy to do so.
To be honest, this trap is a bit childish, and no normal person will fall for it.
There was nothing around just now, and suddenly more treasures appeared, and all kinds of treasures appeared together. Who are you fooling? I'm afraid even a fool wouldn't believe it.
But don’t tell me, there is a chance that the spirit beast will believe it. Even a seven-year-old child won’t fall for such a simple trap, but it is possible for the spirit beast to fall for it.
Especially for fish beasts, which are obviously not blind. If they see a big sharp hook in the water, they will bite it and then be fished up by humans. Do you think it is strange or not?
Its trap is much smarter than a fishhook. It can’t deceive people, but isn’t it easy to deceive a stupid fish?
Things turned out exactly as Long Xuan expected.
The big arowana lying on the shore basking in the sun suddenly sniffed, and soon his eyes lit up, and he crawled over following the scent of the wine.
Long Xuan was overjoyed. He was really a stupid fish. As a fish, he dared to run inland. Who would die if he didn't? Eating it wouldn't affect his IQ, right?
The big dragon fish waved its two pairs of big fins at the front and back, and quickly ran to the wine jar, sniffed it with its nose, and suddenly showed a look of intoxication.
Suddenly, it frowned fiercely, as if it noticed something was wrong, and immediately looked around with vigilant eyes, but it did not look above its head.
After seeing no one around, it finally relaxed and thought that it was overthinking, so it began to enjoy the delicious spiritual wine with peace of mind, and its expression looked like one of intoxication.
Despite its size, its ability to drink is really not good. Before it could take a few sips, it was swaying, then fell to the ground and fell asleep.
From the tree, Long Xuan could hear its deafening snoring, and his belly rose and fell with the snoring.
“Succeeded!”
Long Xuan was overjoyed. It turned out to be a stupid fish. It was so easy to deceive. He used a little trick to capture it without any bloodshed.
Long Xuan slowly climbed down from the tree, trying not to make any noise. Even if the big arowana was drunk, he would never stop being careful.
Long Xuan tiptoed to the side of the big dragon fish, and then...
“Destroying Palm!”
“Destroying Palm!”
“Destroying Palm!”
…
Then there is no more.
Long Xuan peeled off the skin of the big arowana, and after a delicious meal of fish meat, he left with the remaining fish meat and the top-quality green spiritual worm.
Having obtained another top-grade spiritual insect, he was in a very good mood. He hummed a tune along the way and planned to look for the third top-grade spiritual insect.
I have to say that he is addicted to finding the best spiritual insects. He is completely addicted to it.
He was so greedy that he really planned to collect all nine top-quality spiritual insects here in one go.
However, just when he had this thought, he suddenly heard a slight vibration from the ground, as if a large group of something was running.
His expression suddenly changed slightly, and he hurriedly looked into the distance with his eyes of heaven. At this glance, he really saw someone he knew.
I saw Li Laodao and the little Yaotong running desperately towards this side, looking panicked and looking back from time to time.
Long Xuan looked behind them, what a good guy, there were actually a group of black rats chasing behind them, it was so dark.
But aren’t these black mice a little too big? Many of them are as tall as half a person? Is this what your family calls a mouse? Become a sperm!
Although Long Xuan had seen the group of rats in advance, he did not choose to avoid them in time.
This group of rats seemed to be numerous, but they were all ordinary spiritual beasts at the early stage of the first level. They did not scare him at all. When the rats were about to approach him, he took advantage of the situation and launched a flaming palm move, and the sea of fire instantly covered the rats. .
How could an early-stage first-order spirit beast withstand the attack of the Flame Palm? A huge swarm of rats could sometimes be terrifying. It was clearly an early-stage first-order spirit beast, but it could rely on its numerical advantage to surround and kill a Gu cultivator at the peak of spiritual gathering.
Even the Gu cultivators in the marrow cleansing stage have the possibility of being killed. No matter how large the number is, even the Gu cultivators in the spiritual sea stage will have to avoid the edge temporarily.
But sometimes the rats are not scary, just like the group of black beetles that were destroyed by Long Xuan. The gregarious creatures are scary in numbers. In fact, they are not strong at all when taken individually, and can easily be destroyed by large-scale attack groups.
Long Xuan is one of the few Gu cultivators who possesses a heaven-defying ultimate move, and is not afraid of such hordes of things, whether they are insects or beasts.
He just used one move of Flame Palm, and the huge group of rats was basically burned to pieces, and he also saved the two trappers by the way.
"I saved your life again. Now you each owe me two lives. You must think carefully about how to repay my life-saving grace." Long Xuan joked.
Li Laodao and Xiao Yaotong sat down on the ground, breathing heavily. They seemed very tired, almost reaching their limit. If Long Xuan had been slower in taking action, the old and young would have been swallowed up by the rats. Even if there is a small strong Gu, it will be useless.
It took a long time for Li Laodao to catch his breath, and he cupped his hands towards Long Xuan and said, "Thank you very much, little friend, for the rescue. I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. I owe you a favor."
The little medicine boy also said: "Thank you very much. What kind of spiritual skill did you just do? I've never seen it before!"
“Any attack has an inverse correlation between attack range and attack power. Single-attack spiritual arts have high attack power, while group-attack spiritual arts have weak attack power. If you want to pursue attack range, you must spread your strength and give up attack power.”
“Even though the attack range of your spiritual technique is large, the attack power is also surprisingly large. It is definitely not an ordinary spiritual technique.” The little Yaotong looked at Long Xuandao with surprised eyes.
"Is it powerful? Maybe it's because of the Ten Jue Body." Long Xuan said casually.
Li Laodao and Xiao Yaotong both showed expressions of disbelief. They were not stupid. Every ability used by Long Xuan along the way was something they had never seen before.
Especially the kind of white energy ball that can explode and almost kill them. Let alone seeing it before, they can't believe that there is such a powerful spiritual technique. It is simply too exaggerated.
If they haven't seen one or two of them, it may be because they are ignorant. If they haven't seen them all, then they have to doubt one thing. Isn't all those incredible spiritual arts created by this kid?
Li Laodao and Xiao Yaotong looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
Long Xuan didn’t want to talk about this topic anymore, so he changed the subject and asked, “Tell me about you guys. Why are you being chased everywhere by a group of rats? Why bother with them when you have nothing to do?”
"This thing is no different from that group of rabbits. Even though the group is huge, it actually can't produce good products. Provoking them is completely thankless."
Li Laodao shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "It's not that I want to provoke them. There is a rat tide. No, to be precise, there is already a beast tide. The rats are just a group in the beast tide."
“And we only encountered a small group in the rat tide. We are lucky. We did not encounter a group of rats. There are no flying rats, fire rats, or even rat kings who are difficult to deal with.”
"Otherwise, not only will you not be able to save us, but you will get yourself involved. No matter how powerful your spiritual skills are, you will not be able to fight against that level of rat tide."
"That's right!" The little medicine boy stood up and said with a very solemn expression: "The predictions of those Gu kings are correct. Now a beast tide has broken out in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and the scale is unprecedentedly large, and it will flow into all parts of the human world. The region and the scale of the beast tide are extremely rare in this millennium.”
“The current Hundred Thousand Mountains are in chaos. It is no longer a place to stay for a long time. We must leave here as quickly as possible.”
“We were lucky to encounter a small group of rats this time. If we encounter a large rat tide next time, we won’t be so lucky to escape.”
