Chapter 67 Ma Wu's Trick

"Roar!"

At this moment, a low roar of a spirit beast suddenly came from afar, and the group of people all changed their faces.

"How is it possible? It turned out to be the Earth Bear. This thing is a second-level spirit beast when it was born, and it has the strength comparable to the marrow cleansing period Gu cultivators. Logically speaking, such a powerful spirit beast would never appear in this area. Is there really going to be a beast tide?"

Hearing the roar of the spirit beast, Long Qilin was immediately shocked.

Hearing this, the group of casual cultivators who were eager to try suddenly wilted, and the excitement on their faces disappeared instantly.

Just now they were jumping up and down to hunt large carnivorous spirit beasts, and now their target finally appeared, but they all became weak shrimps.

How could they not be weak in their feet? This turned out to be a second-level spirit beast equivalent to the marrow cleansing period Gu cultivator. It was okay for them to kill rabbits, but to deal with this second-level spirit beast was simply to deliver food, and it might not be enough for it.

"The Earth Bear is a solitary spirit beast. It has a rare ability called Earth Thorns. If you kill it, it may reveal this ability."

After a brief shock, Long Qilin showed excitement again. Killing beasts to reveal skills is exactly what people like him like, so he ran in the direction where the sound just came from.

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

Long Xuan shook his head helplessly. He just took a look at the Earth Bear. It looked good. With a wave of his hand, a piece of sharp earth thorns would instantly grow on the ground. The prey had no time to dodge and was directly stabbed.

This ability to make the earth grow thorns is probably the Earth Thorns mentioned by Long Qilin. No wonder he was so excited. This is indeed a terrifying ability that will make everyone excited.

But he has already used the Eye of Heaven to see that there is no worm at the spiritual core of this Earth Bear.

Who could have imagined that such a top-grade big boss would not explode anything, not even a low-grade spirit insect.

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

When you have spent a lot of effort, got injured all over, and finally killed this big guy, but found that no hair exploded, then your mentality must be broken.

This is destined to be a losing business, and it is definitely not worthwhile to go and fight it.

But he couldn't expose his ability to see through the explosives, so even if he wanted to remind him, he didn't know how to remind him. After thinking for a long time without any results, he could only follow helplessly.

When he arrived, Long Qilin had already fought with the Earth Bear. For this level of battle, all the casual cultivators could not intervene and could only watch from the side.

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

The Earth Bear waved his huge bear paw and collided head-on with Long Qilin's fist, and surprisingly, they were evenly matched, neither of them lost.

Once, the Earth Bear was almost knocked down by Long Qilin, so he was angry and let out a deafening roar, becoming even more violent.

From time to time, a piece of earth thorns rose from the ground, but Long Qilin seemed to know this trick very well, and he could always dodge it in the first time, and then continue to fight with the Earth Bear in close combat.

In order to avoid accidentally hurting himself, the Earth Bear had no choice but to stop releasing earth thorns and choose to fight with Long Qilin in close combat.

Every time the huge body moved, the ground trembled, shaking the earth and the ground, and the dust flew, which made Long Xuan tremble with fear.

Through this battle, he truly realized how terrifying the power of humans in this world can be.

However, he has also seen that although Long Qilin and the Earth Bear seem to be fighting head-on and not losing, if they continue to fight a protracted war, he will definitely be the loser.

Being huge is a huge advantage in a purely physical contest. The opponent must not only bear the power from it, but also the inertia from its huge body.

The greater the mass, the greater the inertia. This is also true in this world.

Therefore, Long Qilin must not only bear the power of the Earth Bear, but also the impact of a four-meter-tall body. His consumption is naturally much higher than that of the Earth Bear.

Moreover, the physical strength of spirit beasts is stronger than that of humans. If Long Qilin continues to fight like this and has no other way to break the situation, the situation will be dangerous.

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

So he found an opportunity to distance himself and used another way of fighting. He put his hands together, put his little finger, ring finger, and thumb together, and raised his index finger and middle finger. Suddenly, huge palms made of soil rose from the ground and slapped the Earth Bear heavily.

The Earth Bear dodged flexibly and avoided the slaps of one giant hand after another. Every time the giant hand fell, the ground would shake, making a deafening roar, and huge handprints were also slapped on the ground, which was shocking.

Long Xuan was shocked by the battle scene. Such a big battle, such a big destructive power, is this the power of a Gu cultivator in the marrow cleansing stage?

This giant hand rising from the ground is definitely the innate ability of a Gu worm. No matter what, spiritual arts can't complete such a form of attack.

As expected of a genius Gu cultivator from a great clan, the Gu worm is much stronger than that of a casual cultivator. Is this the power of a clan's unique Gu worm? Long Xuan thought in shock.

It was at this moment that the Earth Bear failed to react in time and was attacked by a hand that suddenly stretched out from under its feet, firmly grasping its ankle, making it unable to move.

Losing the ability to move, it naturally could no longer avoid the attacks of those giant hands.

The huge hands fell one after another, slapping the Earth Bear heavily, and then pressing it firmly to the ground.

As the Earth Bear was pressed down, the ground shook violently, and dust and gravel were shaken up, blocking the sight of the casual cultivators. They could only hear the roar of the Earth Bear coming from the dust, which was deafening.

However, the battle was not over yet.

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

That is, the Gu cultivator needs to use this ability remotely. Although he can move, he cannot use the second ability while maintaining the Hand of the Earth, otherwise the palm rising from the ground will collapse due to the interruption of spiritual power.

So the Earth Bear roared continuously in the dust, but Long Qilin had no follow-up means of attack, and the situation could only be deadlocked for a while.

Long Qilin shouted anxiously: "My Hand of the Earth did not kill it, now I can only limit its ability to move."

"People and beasts bound by the Hand of the Earth will be imprisoned in all their abilities, and I will also be restricted and can no longer use any abilities."

"Now I can only rely on you, you guys go and kill the Earth Bear now, don't worry, under the restriction of the Hand of the Earth, it can no longer use the Thorn of the Earth!"

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

Since it has lost its 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 trapped under the Five Finger Mountain. Only his head was exposed outside the mountain, and the rest of his body was pressed under the mountain, and he couldn't even stretch out an arm.

Seeing this situation, the group of casual cultivators felt more relieved, and they took out their inferior spiritual swords to chop at the head of the Earth Bear.

However, their attacks of this degree were just scraping the Earth Bear, and they didn't break its defense after a long time.

Although all the abilities of the Earth Bear were imprisoned by the Hand of the Earth and could not be used, it was already in a completely defenseless state at this time.

But relying on its thick skin and flesh, it could still withstand all the attacks of the casual cultivators in the Gathering Spirit Stage.

The casual cultivators tried their best, but they didn't cause any effective damage to it.

The poisonous insects released by Ma Lao and Zhang Ling bit the face of the Earth Bear for a long time, but failed to tear its defense. Instead, the Earth Bear stretched out its tongue and rolled it into its mouth, then bit it and swallowed it in one bite.

The old woman named Hanmei took out her silver needle and stabbed the eyes of the Earth Bear. The eyes are undoubtedly the weak point of all creatures. However, as soon as its eyelids were closed, the silver needle stabbed into the eyelids, but it didn't penetrate.

Instead, it angered it. The Earth Bear opened its mouth and roared. A huge wind and wave exhaled from its bloody mouth, and it actually blew the old woman away in one breath. Then the whole person hit a giant tree not far away, and fell heavily to the ground, suffering serious injuries.

Seeing this scene, Long Qilin almost vomited blood. He knew that casual cultivators were weak, but he didn't expect them to be so outrageous. He was actually seriously injured by a spirit beast in one breath. Is it so exaggerated!

Ma Wu had 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 is famous for its tough skin and thick flesh. How could a group of casual cultivators easily break through its defense?

It is no exaggeration to say that the Earth Bear was just lying there sleeping, and the casual cultivators could do nothing to it. The casual cultivators' attacks were equivalent to massaging it, which made it sleep more soundly.

"I'll do it!"

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

They were all in the same team, and if they prospered together, they would prosper together. If this group of casual cultivators and Long Qilin consumed too much, or even suffered serious injuries, it would directly affect his safety rate in the future.

So he couldn't just watch at this time, and he had to find a way to deal with this Earth Bear as soon as possible.

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

Long Qilin also didn't have any hope for him at this time.

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

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

He couldn't help but be horrified. What a terrifying spirit beast, it can be so powerful even without moving. I really don't know how Long Qilin fought against this monster just now.

At this time, he didn't have time to think about it and looked at the Earth Bear's temple.

The temple is also a small weakness of all living things. At this time, the Earth Bear's temple was bulging, covered with blue veins, and rising and falling with the sound of its heartbeat.

He slapped this eye-catching temple.

"Life-destroying Palm!"

At the same time, his left palm also fell.

"Life-destroying Palm!"

Long Xuan has always been an overly cautious character, and he is extremely suspicious. He is already in the late stage of suspicion and is hopeless. He is afraid that the Earth Bear is faking death or not dead, so he attacks with both palms, one after another, continuously.

"Life-destroying Palm!"

"Life-destroying Palm!"

"Life-destroying Palm!"

...

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

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

Seeing that there was no hot air exhaled, he finally relaxed his vigilance.

Then he slapped its nose again.

It was not until this time that everyone realized that the Earth Bear was dead. It died silently. They didn't even know when and how it died. They were confused.

"How is it possible? How did he do it!" Seeing that Long Xuan easily killed the Earth Bear, Ma Wu opened his eyes wide, showing disbelief, and his gaze towards him gradually became solemn.

Long Qilin looked at him with a shocked look, and finally retracted the power of the Earth Gu. The huge palm that pressed on the Earth Bear turned into a piece of broken soil and scattered, and the space flew up again.

He also sat on the ground, gasping for breath.

Obviously, using this move just now was also a great consumption for him, both his spiritual power and physical strength were almost exhausted.

Fortunately, Long Xuan solved this Earth Bear, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

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

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

The location of the spiritual core in the body of a spiritual beast is different. Some are in the brain, and some are in the chest. The spiritual core of the Earth Bear is generally grown in the chest, and it is very large, like a basketball, flashing with light, and emitting a magnificent spiritual power.

However, Long Qilin looked at the spiritual core in his hand, but he could no longer smile. His expression was completely frozen on his face, and he didn't say a word.

His mentality completely collapsed...

As Long Xuan saw, although the combat power of this Earth Bear was ridiculously strong, it was unexpectedly empty inside, and nothing would explode after death.

In other words, they had just fought desperately for most of the day in vain.

Not only was she exhausted and exhausted, but several poisonous insects died, and Han Mei was injured. This wave was a big loss.

"How could this happen! This shouldn't be the case!"

The scattered cultivators looked at the spirit core that didn't carry any spirit insects, and their faces all looked ugly.

The Earth Bear, which had such terrifying combat power, took a lot of effort to kill it. Logically, even if it didn't explode with a top-grade spirit insect, it should have exploded with a top-grade spirit insect?

Unexpectedly, there was not even a low-grade spirit insect. Who could have thought of this?

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

Only Long Xuan, who already knew the result, stood there calmly. It was all within his expectation...

"Whatever! We are unlucky and have worked in vain."

Long Qilin sighed and said, "But the Earth Bear's animal materials can also be worth some spirit stones. Let's divide them among everyone to make up for the loss."

"And the meat of the Earth Bear is also good. Let's replenish our physical strength before setting off. If you have a large storage bag, you can also bring more Earth Bear meat back."

As soon as Long Qilin finished speaking, Long Xuan went straight to the Earth Bear's paw.

The most delicious thing on the bear is naturally the paw. It was quite difficult to eat this dish in the previous life. Today, we finally have a good time.

Although the others were unwilling, they could only go over to divide the animal materials and meat.

Ma Wu was not so anxious. He did not compete with everyone. Instead, he got angry and set up a pot.

Long Xuan was in the late stage of paranoia. He had been secretly observing Ma Wu from beginning to end.

As a poor and destitute cultivator, he was always greedy. Showing humility at this time was completely inconsistent with the normal psychology of a poor cultivator, which further strengthened Long Xuan's suspicion of his identity.

While processing the beast meat, he secretly watched his movements with the Eye of Heaven to prevent him from putting poison in the pot.

This seemingly overly cautious behavior inadvertently made him discover the clue.

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

"Incense burner? What did he take out the incense burner for? Can this thing be used to cook meat?"

Long Xuan was suspicious and used the Eye of Heaven to magnify the fire, intending to see what was going on.

He was immediately shocked and broke out in a cold sweat, his hair stood up instantly, and his goose bumps appeared.

It seemed that the smoke was billowing, and it was normal to make a fire and smoke.

But hidden under the smoke were actually small insects with hideous faces.

They ran out from the incense burner along with the smoke.

The insects were very small, so small that it was difficult to see them with the naked eye. They were spreading along the smoke and flying towards the people who were dividing the animal materials.

"Fuck!"

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

After running a long way, he remembered to remind everyone, turned back and shouted: "Get away from the smoke, there are insects in it!"

"What?"

Everyone was shocked, threw away the meat, and then hurriedly covered their mouths and noses, running out desperately in fear, almost growing 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 had not yet reacted to what was going on, his instinct for survival forced him to run away subconsciously.

After everyone ran a distance, Li Laodao looked back at Ma Wu with a sullen face and cursed angrily: "You kid are too mean! You actually put a poison in the thick smoke!"

"A beast material in the marrow washing period can be worth a few spiritual stones, is it that serious? You want to kill all of us for such a little benefit, are you still a human?"

Li Laodao is still frightened until now. He is best at putting a poison, and he is the most powerful in putting a poison in the market. However, even though he is proficient in this, he has never heard of this kind of poisoning method. It was the first time he saw it and almost got caught.

Fortunately, Long Xuan reminded him, otherwise it would be a big trouble. The more Li Laodao thought about it, the more frightened he was, and the angrier he became.

The rest of the people also looked at Ma Wu with furious eyes, waiting for him to give a reasonable explanation before they rushed over and tore him apart.

Ma Wu looked at Long Xuan with vicious eyes, cursing in his heart, it's him again, it's him again, he has ruined my good things twice in a row!

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

But there was no time for him to think at this time, he could only forcefully argue: "Don't slander me, when did I poison? I am in the thick smoke now, how come I am fine?"

"If you say I poisoned, then show me the evidence. You will pay the price for slandering me!" Ma Wu pointed at Long Xuan's nose and cursed.

After hearing Ma Wu's explanation, everyone looked at Long Xuan together.

Of course, Long Xuan couldn't tell everyone about the ability of the Eye of Heaven, so he casually said, "There is no evidence. Believe it or not. If you believe it, just go into the thick smoke and try it."

However, even though Long Xuan couldn't produce evidence to prove that the young man had put a Gu in his body, no one had the courage to go to the thick smoke at this time.

It is always better to believe it than not to believe it. Life is only once, so you can't be careless.

Therefore, even if Long Xuan couldn't produce evidence, no casual cultivator dared to go over and take the risk.

Including Long Qilin.

He looked at Ma Wu in the thick smoke for a while, and then at Long Xuan. Although he didn't know who to believe, he didn't dare to approach the thick smoke easily. Whoever bets whether there is a Gu in the thick smoke is stupid.

Seeing that no one came over, Ma Wu hated it in his heart, knowing that even if he had a way to quibble, they would definitely not come over, and the plan failed completely.

He hated Long Xuan so much that his teeth were itching.

Since the plan had failed, there was no need for him to keep pretending. He shouted to the distance: "The plan failed, there is no need to hide, just attack directly."

As soon as he finished speaking, nine people rushed out from the trees, bushes, and boulders around the scattered cultivators, and quickly rushed to the front from a distance and surrounded the group.

"Hahaha... Long Qilin! You are alone!"

The red-clothed man who spoke exuded a strong aura of the early stage of marrow washing, which made all the scattered cultivators change their faces.

"Long Qilin! Didn't expect it! Although you escaped the disaster just now, you have just experienced a big battle and you 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 washing, attacking the scattered cultivators. At this time, their faces were as ugly as they could be.

There were actually two people in the early stage of marrow washing in this group of people with bad intentions, and their side had not only experienced serious consumption in the battle just now, but also lost several poisonous insects. Once the two sides clashed, it would not be more defeats than victories, but it would be a sure defeat.

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

Long Xuan sighed in his heart. There were progress numbers everywhere in the forest. Every weed on the ground had progress numbers. The numbers were so dense that his vision was too chaotic. In addition, his attention was always on Ma Wu, so he really didn't notice that there was someone behind the bunker.

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

However, at this time, Li Laodao was in no mood to say these things. He said with a very ugly face, "I'm afraid we are in big trouble. This group of people are Gu cultivators from the Feng family. The Long and Feng families have always been enemies."

"That Ma Wu is obviously a spike they planted. This is a long-planned assassination against Long Qilin, and we got involved inadvertently!"

"We have run into trouble by teaming up with Long Qilin! Now let's think about how to survive!"

The words of Li Laodao cast a haze over the hearts of the scattered cultivators, and despair gradually appeared in their eyes.

Even though they were already cautious enough and specially found a master to escort them for 100% safety, accidents are everywhere. The ship they are on is not only unsafe, but also a dangerous ship.

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