Chapter 67: (1): Ma Wus Scheme

“Roar!”

At this moment, a low growl of a spirit beast suddenly came from afar, causing everyone to change their expressions.

“How is it possible? It's an Earth Bear. This creature is born as a second-tier spirit beast with strength comparable to a marrow cleansing Gu cultivator. Logically, such a powerful spirit beast should never appear in this area. Could a beast tide be imminent?”

Hearing the roar of the spirit beast, Long Qilin turned pale with fright.

Upon hearing this, the group of rogue cultivators who had been eager to try their luck immediately deflated, their excitement vanishing without a trace.Finnd new chapters at novelhall.com

They had just been jumping around wanting to hunt large carnivorous spirit beasts. Now that their target had appeared, they all turned into cowards.

Their legs naturally became weak; after all, this was a second-tier spirit beast equivalent to a marrow-cleansing Gu cultivator. They might handle hunting rabbits, but facing this second-tier spirit beast was like delivering themselves on a platter, and the beast might not even get full.

“The Earth Bear is a solitary spirit beast with a rare ability called Earth Spike. If we kill it, we might gain this ability.”

After a brief shock, Long Qilin showed excitement again. Killing beasts to acquire skills was his kind of game, so he ran towards the direction from which the sound came.

The rogue cultivators, with bitter expressions, reluctantly followed.

Long Xuan shook his head helplessly. He had just taken a glance at the Earth Bear. It looked impressive; with a wave of its hand, the ground could instantly sprout sharp earth spikes, leaving prey no chance to dodge, resulting in a fatal blow.

This ability to make spikes grow from the ground was probably the Earth Spike mentioned by Long Qilin. No wonder he was so excited; it was indeed a terrifyingly powerful ability that could tempt anyone.

But Long Xuan had already seen through it with his Eye of Heavenly secret; there was no insect in the spirit core of this Earth Bear.

Such a top-tier boss yielding nothing, not even a low-grade spirit worm, was unimaginable.

Therefore, Long Xuan didn't recommend provoking this big guy.

If you waste a lot of effort and end up injured, only to find that nothing dropped, your mentality would definitely collapse.

This was destined to be a losing deal, not worth the fight.

However, he couldn't reveal his ability to see through loot drops, so even though he wanted to warn them, he didn't know how to do so. After pondering for a long time without a solution, he could only follow reluctantly.

When he arrived, Long Qilin had already engaged in combat with the Earth Bear. The rogue cultivators couldn't intervene in such a high-level battle and could only watch from the side.

At this moment, Long Xuan truly realized the terrifying strength of Long Qilin. The Earth Bear was a behemoth, four meters tall, and yet Long Qilin's power could challenge this giant beast.

The Earth Bear's massive paw clashed directly with Long Qilin's fist, and they were evenly matched, neither side gaining the upper hand.

There was even a moment when the Earth Bear almost got knocked down by Long Qilin. Enraged, it let out a deafening roar and became even more violent.

The ground occasionally sprouted Earth Spikes, but Long Qilin seemed very familiar with this move, always dodging in time and continuing to grapple with the Earth Bear.

To avoid injuring itself, the Earth Bear had to stop using Earth Spike and engage in close combat with Long Qilin.

The massive body shook the ground with every movement, creating a ground-shaking, dust-raising spectacle that made Long Xuan's heart race.

Through this battle, Long Xuan truly realized how terrifying human strength could be in this world.

However, he also saw that although Long Qilin and the Earth Bear were evenly matched in direct clashes, if the fight continued, Long Qilin would inevitably lose.

A huge body had a massive advantage in pure physical confrontations. The opponent had to endure not only its strength but also the inertia of its large body.

The old woman named Han mei tried to pierce the Earth Bear's eyes with her silver needles. Eyes were a weak spot for all creatures, but when the Earth Bear closed its eyelids, the needle couldn't penetrate.

This angered the Earth Bear, which roared, creating a gust from its gaping mouth that blew the old woman away. She crashed into a giant tree and fell to the ground, severely injured.

Seeing this, Long Qilin almost spat blood. He knew rogue cultivators were weak, but he didn't expect them to be this useless, getting severely injured by a single breath from the spirit beast.

Ma Wu, hiding at the Earth Bear's side, wasn't blown away and showed a disdainful expression, laughing coldly inside.

Long Qilin had overestimated the strength of these rogue cultivators. The Earth Bear was famous for its tough hide and thick flesh, not something that scattered cultivators could easily break through.

No exaggeration, even if the Earth Bear lay down and slept, the scattered cultivators wouldn’t be able to harm it; their attacks were like massages, making the Earth Bear sleep even better.

“I'll do it!”

Long Xuan could no longer stand it and finally ran over.

Being part of the same team, they would share glory and defeat. If the rogue cultivators and Long Qilin suffered too much, it would directly impact his safety.

So he couldn't just watch; he had to find a way to deal with the Earth Bear quickly.

Seeing Long Xuan rush over, Ma Wu’s disdain grew. Among them, he had the lowest cultivation level and the weakest strength. What could he do – get blown away by a breath?

Long Qilin didn’t hold any hope for him either.

Long Xuan learned from Han mei’s lesson and didn't approach the Earth Bear's front. Instead, he circled to its side and stood at its left temple.

At close range, Long Xuan could clearly feel the heat radiating from the Earth Bear's body and its powerful heartbeat.

He was shocked at how terrifying this spirit beast was. It was frightening even when motionless. How did Long Qilin manage to confront this monster head-on?

There was no time to think. He aimed at the Earth Bear’s temple.

The temple was a small weak spot for most beings. The Earth Bear’s temple pulsed with blue veins, following its heartbeat.

Long Xuan struck the temple with a palm.

“Life-destruction Palm!”

His left palm followed.

“Life-destruction Palm!”

Long Xuan was overly cautious and paranoid. Fearing the Earth Bear might play dead or not be thoroughly killed, he attacked with both palms, striking repeatedly.

“Life-destruction Palm!”

“Life-destruction Palm!”

“Life-destruction Palm!”
