Chapter 269 Scorpion
This rash attempt was finally in danger, but he gave Ye Wutian some warnings. In the future, he would not dare to break the soul away from his body like this. Otherwise, after his body was occupied by evil spirits, he would probably never be able to go back.
Just in case, Ye Wutian recited the Prajna Heart Sutra in peace and calmly returned to the clear mind. Only after his soul returned to the clear air did he vomit a breath of turbid air and stood up.
After scanning the surroundings, the white-faced scholar had already disappeared. As for the ice crystal flower and leaves Wutian, he dared not go back to pick them. Now the most important thing for him is to find a safe place as soon as possible to remove the poison in his body.
The physical condition is far worse than expected. Due to the long-term blockage of the three acupoints of the right arm, the meridians of the right arm have been slightly damaged. The black gas that invades the body is still constantly affecting the true qi in the body, and the cultivation level is faintly a tendency to fall below the ground. Of course, this situation of a significant decline in cultivation is only temporary. As long as the toxins in the body are exhausted, everything will naturally return to normal.
After carefully examining his right arm, Ye Wutian murmured: "It seems that these three acupoints cannot be blocked anymore." As he said that, he could only helplessly pull out the three silver needles on his right arm.
As the acupuncture points were unobstructed, the toxins in the right arm rushed towards the body like a burst of flood.
Ye Wutian quickly took out the detoxification pill and swallowed three in a row, which slowed down the trend of toxin expansion.
Since the white-faced scholar had escaped, Ye Wutian did not move into the jungle anymore, because he would encounter many spirit beasts through the jungle, and his current situation was obviously not suitable for fighting.
After some thought, he decided to continue to follow the original route and move forward straight, hoping to find a safe place as soon as possible...
Compared with those monks who died tragically in attack, Ye Wutian was lucky to be able to survive from death.
In just one day, the bloody breath had already enveloped the entire secret realm, and the killing was endless.
In order to survive, the monks came up with various methods, the most effective method was to act in teams.
As Grandpa Mao said, there are many people and great power, and on some occasions, this is indeed a truth.
For the monks in the ground, teaming up to resist the attacks of the hunting groups; for the monks in the Xuan Realm, teaming up to deal with spirit beasts. If they encounter the hunting group, they can only admit that they are unlucky, because most of the hunting groups are powerful people in the ground, and no matter how many people in the Xuan Realm cultivators in the Xuan Realm, they will not be useful.
Although teaming operations have greatly guaranteed safety, efficiency is greatly reduced. After all, the spiritual medicines that can be picked are limited after all, and it is even more pitiful to everyone. Especially when encountering some precious spiritual medicines, there will inevitably be disputes in the team. As the contradictions accumulate, it may lead to a tragedy of killing each other in the end.
Therefore, in order to prevent similar situations from happening, the monks thought of another more efficient and reasonable teaming mode. The team members did not need everyone to walk together while moving forward, but were in a semi-dispersed state. All team members set aside a certain distance and conducted a carpet-style search of the route ahead, which was both efficient and would not cause disputes.
Of course, the defects of this method are also obvious. The more scattered the personnel, the higher the chance of encountering enemies on the way forward. Therefore, when encountering areas such as the densely distributed spirit beasts in the woods, the team members will gather together and travel at the fastest speed.
At this time, a team of seven people was crossing the jungle and coming to a mountain.
"Captain, how far is the place you are talking about?" A young woman with an average appearance wiped the sweat from her forehead and asked another middle-aged man in her forties. The woman's name was Du Yuan, and her late-stage Xuan Realm cultivation.
The middle-aged man replied: "As long as you cross this mountain, you will be almost here." His name is Zhou Wenchuan, with an approachable round face, he looks like he has a perfect cultivation level in the Xuan Realm, and is an extremely calm person.
"How long does it take to cross this mountain?" asked another tall and thin man. The man was named Duan Liang, who was a young man from the third place, had a perfect cultivation level in the Xuan Realm, and was an extremely cheerful guy.
"This mountain is extremely vast, I'm afraid I'll have to walk for a day," Zhou Wenchuan replied.
"One day? My God, we have been away for a day, and we have to go there for another day." Du Yuan looked bitter and looked extremely reluctant.
"Sister, you can pick spiritual medicines anyway along the way. Even if you don't follow the captain, we still have to keep running around every day." A tall and burly man comforted him. He was Du Yuan's brother Du Lei, a man in his thirties, a simple and honest man, and has a perfect cultivation level in the Xuan Realm.
Du Yuan curled her lips and said nothing.
At this time, another slightly fat man asked worriedly: "Captain, will those half-branch lotus in the Tianxin have already been taken advantage of?" The man was named Ding Yuan, who had a late stage in the Xuan Realm and had a cowardly personality.
The Tianxin Half-branch Lotus in his mouth is the main spiritual material for refining Tongmai Pills, and Tongmai Pills is an auxiliary elixir for the advancement of the Xuan Realm in the Earth Realm. For these monks whose cultivation has reached the late stage of the Xuan Realm and are about to make breakthroughs, the inducement or power of the Tianxin Half-branch Lotus is full.
Regarding Ding Yuan's concern, Zhou Wenchuan answered affirmatively: "It is absolutely impossible. The place is extremely hidden, and there are powerful spiritual beasts that ordinary people cannot get close to."
"Then can't we beat that spirit beast?" Ding Yuan asked uneasy.
"Don't worry, we don't need to fight head-on with that spirit beast. I have a powerful formation on my hand to trap it. I will just evacuate it after picking the spiritual medicine." Zhou Wenchuan said.
Everyone nodded.
Then, Du Yuan said: "Since there is still a day away, why don't we find a place to rest for a while."
"Yes, this place will encounter danger at any time, and you must maintain sufficient physical strength and energy." Ding Yuan agreed. He was a little fat, so he naturally consumed more physical strength than ordinary people when he moved.
Zhou Wenchuan nodded and agreed, "Okay, let's go forward and find a suitable place to rest." As he said that, he took the lead in walking into the mountains, and the rest followed closely.
The man and the woman who walked at the end had never spoken. The man was named Zhuang Shao, who was in his thirties, had a perfect cultivation level in the Xuan Realm and had a somewhat withdrawn personality. The woman's name was Chen Shuangshuang, who was as cold as Bingshuang, was a cold and beautiful woman, who looked at her 26 or 27 years old, and had a late-stage cultivation level in the Xuan Realm.
The group had just climbed a small high slope and was about to move towards a valley below the high slope when they suddenly heard a "ding-ding-dang" fighting sound in the valley.
"Captain, it seems that someone is fighting in front of you. Why don't we go around this hillside?" Ding Yuan suggested uneasyly.
Zhou Wenchuan thought for a while and nodded in agreement. After all, if they meet strong people in the earth realm with their cultivation, the risk factor will be very high.
But just as the pedestrian was about to walk along the hillside, the fighting sounds in the valley suddenly stopped, and then a burst of rapid footsteps approached them.
The expressions on everyone's faces became solemn. Before they could react, they saw a big beard rushing out of the jungle in the valley below. The big beard was holding a big sword full of gaps in his hand, looking hurried. It was obvious that the big beard was Ye Wutian.
Seeing Ye Wutian, everyone showed a look of caution on their faces, because they could not see his cultivation, so they naturally thought he was a powerful person in the earth realm.
When Ye Wutian rushed out of the jungle, he also saw the group of people on the hillside. After he hesitating for a while, he rushed towards the group of people without changing his direction. But before he could run a few steps, another giant scorpion was chased out from the jungle behind.
The scorpion is metallic in its entirety, and it looks like it is made of diamonds, especially the huge clips like two iron clamps in front of it, which is intimidating. The thick and long tail behind it, and the sharp sting like an awl at the end of its tail, all of which look extremely powerful.
Needless to think about it, it was Ye Wutian who was fighting with this scorpion just now.
After rushing out of the forest, the scorpion's movements became more rapid. The four pairs of Vajra swung rapidly, just like driving a train, and chased Ye Wutian in a few seconds. Then, the powerful iron clip on its right opened the boss and clamped Ye Wutian's back with a fierce momentum. It would be strange if it was pinched by this clip, its body would not be clamped in two pieces.
Seeing this scene, Du Yuan on the hillside subconsciously exclaimed and reminded: "Be careful!"
Ye Wutian also realized the situation behind him. He quickly turned around and raised his sword to block it.
"Swish!" The scorpion's clip happened to hit the sword body, and the sharp metal friction sounded like goosebumps.
Although the scorpion's clip looked powerful, it failed to cut off the ordinary iron sword in Ye Wutian's hand.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Wenchuan said, "It seems that this scorpion is still in its growth stage. I have seen a similar scorpion clipping off a low-quality treasure weapon."
"Piece off the inferior treasure? Then how powerful this scorpion should be." Duan Liang exclaimed with wide eyes, and the rest of them looked surprised.
"This type of scorpion belongs to the golden spirit beast. After adulthood, its hard skin is harder than ordinary low-grade heaven and earth spiritual treasures. It can be used to exercise gold treasures." Zhou Wenchuan explained.
At this time, the scorpion saw that the attack fell to nothing, and immediately waved another clip to attack Ye Wutian.
Since the big sword in his hand was tightly clamped by the opponent, Ye Wutian had to abandon the sword and retreat.
Seeing this, Du Yuan hurriedly said, "Captain, it seems that he can't hold on for long, let's go and help him."
"This spirit beast is so powerful and looks invulnerable. How can we beat it?" Ding Yuan said fearfully.
"In fact, it's not that difficult to deal with. Although the leather armor on it is very hard, its abdomen is still relatively fragile. As long as you look for an opportunity to attack his abdomen, it can be easily killed." Zhou Wenchuan analyzed.
After hearing what he said, everyone had nothing to be afraid of. They took out their weapons and rushed towards the scorpion in a swarm.
A large group of people surrounded the scorpion, the people in front were responsible for attracting the scorpion's attention, and the people on both sides were waiting for an opportunity to attack the scorpion's abdomen.
Faced with so many people, the scorpion seemed a little caught off guard. In a moment, it was stabbed in its abdomen, and golden liquid overflowed from its wound. The scorpion screamed in pain, and its actions became chaotic.
