The Great Wild God - Chapter 128
Chapter 128 A Frightened Bird
Looking at the remaining demonic toad, Lou Li was speechless.
Qing Yangzi had accidentally discovered this cold drifting swamp eighty years ago. At that time, the Twin-Headed Vulture had just built its nest in the stone ground in the middle of the swamp.
At that time, Zhenyangzi had already advanced to the middle Heavenly Yuan
Regardless of whether it was the demonic toad, the two-headed vulture, or the dozen or so Phoenix Blood Woods that grew on the stone ground, they were all priceless treasures to True Yang Realm and Reincarnation Realm experts. However, to Qing Yangzi, who had advanced to the middle Heavenly Yuan Realm, they could only be considered ordinary refining materials.
When Qing Yangzi saw the two-headed vulture feeding on the peculiar toad, he knew that if the two-headed vulture and the peculiar toad continued to coexist in the frost toad swamp, their bloodlines would become increasingly pure and powerful.
Because of this, Qing Yangzi had only plucked a dozen Phoenix Blood Wood Stalks. He was not in a hurry to subdue the Twin-Headed Vulture. He also left behind this demonic toad and allowed it to reproduce in the Frost Lake Swamp to feed the Twin-Headed Vulture.
When Zhenyangzi left, he placed restrictions along the mountains outside the Frost Lake Swamp. Only when Lou Shiyi needed a spirit bird as a mount did he let him subdue the two-headed vulture.
Lou Yiyi entered the Frost Pool Swamp and fought with the Twin-Headed Vulture several times on the left and right mountain ridges. The restriction laid down by Qing Yangzi eighty years ago was completely destroyed.
Lou Li, Lou Shiyi, and the others thought that everyone’s attention would be drawn to the direction of Jade Pillar Peak in this competition between the disciples of the two sects. They didn’t expect that the Frost Lake Swamp would be discovered by outsiders in this short period of ten days.
Although the Gui Xi Tribe’s strength in the Wilderness this time was sufficient to exterminate the demonic toad, Qing Yangzi’s original intention was to subdue the Twin-Headed Vulture.
In order to prevent the Twin-Headed Vulture from leaving, Lou Li and the others could not kill this demonic toad in advance.
As long as the demonic toad was around, as long as there were countless black toads in the Frost Pool Swamp, the Twin-Headed Vulture would not easily move to the ground to build its nest.
Lou Youyi and the Twin-Headed Vulture fought several fierce battles, roughly polishing the Twin-Headed Vulture’s arrogant will. Only then did they follow along this time, preparing to clean up this demonic toad and harvest more than a dozen Phoenix Blood Wood stalks on the stone floor.
Who would have thought that in just these two to three days, the demonic toad would actually let others succeed first, while the two-headed vulture that Lou Shiyi was on the verge of subduing would die in a pile of holes on the edge of the Frost Lake Swamp, leaving behind a pile of rotten bones and meat.
The dozen or so rare Phoenix Blood Woods that grew out of the stone ground were also swept away!
These were heavenly treasures that Qing Yangzi had originally bestowed upon the Gui Xi Tribe, and the Gui Xi Tribe could have used them to strengthen their forces.
How could they be calm, how could they not be angry, painful, or struggling?
To tell the truth, if he really wanted to capture this person, Lou Li had the intention to crush his bones and turn them into ashes.
However, over a thousand disciples from the two sects had gathered around Jade Pillar Peak to compete. In addition, there were three to five thousand rogue cultivators. Who knew who had accidentally barged in?
“This person probably won’t be long!” Lou Yao squatted down and saw that the toad blood on the ground hadn’t condensed yet. He raised his head and said to Lou Li, Lou Shiyi.
Lou Li’s face twitched. Of course, he could tell that the person he had managed to escape was not far away. However, the more than ten Phoenix Blood Wood stalks on the stone floor had disappeared. Furthermore, he had killed both the Twin-Headed Vulture and the Demonic Toad at the same time. There was definitely more than one person on the other side, and their strength was definitely not inferior to them.
Moreover, the Lake Wasteland was a landless place, and the heavenly materials and earth treasures here were all obtained by those who were destined to obtain them.
Qing Yangzi had encountered him 70 to 80 years ago, but now that he had succeeded, even if Qing Yangzi was unable to force others to hand over these heavenly treasures aggressively, he would not be able to do so.
Lou Li looked at the remains of the demonic toad on the ground. Apart from some muscles and bones and some pieces of rotten skin and meat, almost all the valuable parts were removed. Thinking about it, his stomach was suffocating in a ball of fire.
This was a demonic toad with fake pills all over its body!
If Lou Youyi attacked first and consumed the spirit items from this demonic toad, he might be able to advance into the Reincarnation Realm in one fell swoop!
There were also two-headed vultures that were subdued and tamed, refined a set of special armor, and released Cang Lan. They were all spirit birds that could be counted on one’s fingers. Now it was a pile of rotten bones and meat!
As for the dozen Phoenix Blood Wood that had grown for thousands of years, it was priceless. It could almost forge ten Advanced Grade magical artifacts for the Gui Xi Tribe!
Only a Reincarnation Realm cultivator who grasped an advanced magical artifact could be considered a true expert.
Ghost Faction didn’t hesitate to bear the notoriety of bullying weak rogue cultivators. This time, he gathered more than a hundred elite disciples into the Wilderness.
Killing Chen Xun was secondary, and their main purpose was to quietly lure the demonic toad ashore and surround it. Who would have thought that their plans for this matter would end up empty-handed after several months!
Lou Li was extremely grieved and indignant. He also wanted to pull out his sword and chop it down randomly to vent his anger.
At this time, two disciples of the Gui Xi Tribe came over with a pile of tattered armor and handed it to Lou Li.
Seeing this pile of ragged armor, Lou Yao’s eyes turned green with anger. He pulled out the Nine Tribulations Sunset Remnant Sword and broke a giant tree that was hugged by four or five people. He roared angrily, “It’s this beast! It’s actually this beast! I already said that in Northern Mountain City, we should kill this beast!”
Lou Shiyi didn’t know that this was the profound armor that Lou Jiao had lost to Chen Xun, but hearing Lou Yao’s words, he instantly understood everything. He couldn’t vent his resentment in his heart, and even his copper teeth and iron teeth were about to break.
“This beast won’t be able to escape very far. We will immediately activate the Spirit Locking Array, and we will definitely be able to find him!” Lou Yao said.
Lou Shiyi took out the Little Cosmos Sack and was about to take out the Spirit Lock Array that was filled with the Little Cosmos Sack. He wanted to borrow the power of Lou Li and Lou Yao to activate the array together and search for where the bastard had escaped to?
“No, let’s go!” Lou Li’s face was a little pale. He had never expected that Chen Xun would kill the demonic toad before them.
Although Lou Yao and Lou Shiyi wanted to use the Spirit Lock Array to surround Chen, Lou Li thought of something else.
Not to mention the more than ten Phoenix Blood Woods in the stone ground, it was absolutely impossible for one person to take them away, and none of the Nine-Headed Vulture, Demonic Toad, or any other exotic beast could be killed by Chen Xun alone.
Lou Li weighed his own weight and could only fight the demonic toad to the same level.
However, the demonic toad was unable to defeat him. He could hide in the depths of the Frost Lake Swamp, so he couldn’t do anything about it either. That was why he had to mobilize so many people to lure the demonic toad ashore and surround him.
“Are you saying that someone secretly helped Chen Xun?” Lou Shiyi frowned and asked Lou Li, who had a somewhat panicked expression on his face.
“Are you sure Su Tang hasn’t left seclusion?” Lou Li asked.
Chen Xun set off from Northern Mountain City with only one cub following him into the wilderness. However, Chen Xun alone was unable to do so many things.
Lou Yiyi had the small Cosmos Sack that Qing Yangzi had given him. It could be considered a rare treasure even in Azure Water. It couldn’t even hold half of the Phoenix Blood Wood. Chen Xun not only scraped away more than ten of the Phoenix Blood Wood, he also killed the Twin-Headed Vulture and the Demon Toad. It was obvious that he had experts to help him.
And this expert was most likely Su Tang, who they could not find out where he was.
Lou Yiyi frowned even more. Su Tang was the direct disciple of the Patriarch. Who would go to Beiling Mountain to find out if Su Tang had come out of seclusion?
However, Su Qingfeng had mediated the battle for Chen Xun, and Su Tang had not appeared. They naturally believed that Su Tang was still in seclusion in order to break through.
At this moment, Lou Shiyi suddenly felt that they were too naive. Why wasn’t Su Tang afraid of setting them up?
If the person who secretly helped Chen Xun was Su Tang, using the Spirit Locking Array to surround and kill Chen Xun at this moment was merely giving people an excuse to not only interfere in the challenge between Chen Xun and Shi Yi, but also to come over and kill them with confidence!
Thinking of this, Lou Yao’s face turned pale.
Although everyone had heard that Su Tang had advanced to the late Reincarnation Realm, as the direct disciple of the ancestor and the number one rising star of the Azure Water School, her strength far exceeded the imagination of others. Su Lingyin, Su Fuchen, and the other elders of the School who had become famous 30 to 50 years ago were probably on par with Su Tang.
At the introductory ceremony, Su Tang almost fought with Su Quan for Chen Xun’s sake. If they had anything to tell Su Tang to catch him, Su Tang would definitely not hesitate to make a move.
If they were all killed by Su Tang, would Qing Yangzi be able to speak up for them?
The three of them, along with hundreds of elite disciples of Gui Xi, might not necessarily be Su Tang and Chen Xun’s enemies, but did they dare to surround and kill Su Tang?
They had to return to the camp and find Elder Su Fuchen to argue with him. They had to stop Su Tang from interfering in the duel between Shi Yi and Chen Xun!
**************************
Chen Xun was hiding in a stone crack in the mountain depression on the north side. He didn’t even dare to breathe, much less activate the Soul Chasing Seal to probe the movements outside. He could only occasionally hear Lou Yiyi, Lou Yao, and the others bombard the stone tree to vent their anger.
Chen Xun was delighted to hear this, but he didn’t dare to be careless.
It was said that it was a duel between him and Lou Youyi. No one else could interfere, but in the wilderness, there was no witness from a third party. Lou Li, Lou Youyi, Lou Yao, and dozens of disciples of the Gui Xi Tribe worked together to kill him. Who could he seek redress for his injustice?
Lou Li took half a step into the middle stage of the Reincarnation Realm. Although Lou Shiyi had not yet advanced into the Reincarnation Realm, his strength was no weaker than Lou Li’s.
As the direct disciple of Elder Su Fuchen of the Academy, Lou Yao’s strength was not necessarily inferior to his.
Chen Xun knew that if he let out the slightest bit of aura and called Lou Shiyi, Lou Li, and Lou Yao discovered it, it would definitely be an eternal calamity!
Even though it was mysterious, it was impossible for him to escape from Lou Shiyi, Lou Shiyi, Lou Yao, and dozens of elite disciples of Ghost Faction when he used the Shadow Separation Technique in conjunction with the Cloud Evasion Technique!
However, the surrounding mountains and dense forests were vast and stretched for hundreds of kilometers. Lou Li and the others could not monitor everything from the sky. It would not be easy for dozens of disciples to search through the dense forests that stretched for two to three hundred kilometers.
Chen Xun still wanted to hibernate for another two days and find another chance to escape, but he never expected that the troops of Lou Yiyi and the Gui Xi Tribe would not pause at all. It was like a flood was spilling out, and they quickly retreated in the direction of Jade Pillar Peak!
At first, Chen Xun thought that the Gui Xi Tribe was using tricks to lure him out.
Chen Xun hid in the cracks of the stones for two days. Only when Ah Qing climbed out of the pit and stood in the middle of the swamp, letting out a thunderous roar that shook the mountains did Chen Xun believe that Lou Shiyi and Ghost Faction had really retreated just like that …
