The forest was filled with people, and from time to time, cries of alarm could be heard, as well as the angry roars of demonlings.
The roars were shocking to the core, and sounded like thunder crashing down from the sky.
Ling Xiao hovered in the air, in his shadow warrior form. Although he could see the people around him, they couldn't see him.
Up ahead, trees were toppled in all directions, and the ground was a mess.
Five rogue cultivators were attacking a ferocious demonling.
The demonling was by no means small. It was about four or five meters tall, and seven or eight meters long.
It looked like a lion, and was covered in pitch-black fur.
Its razor-sharp fangs dripped with saliva, and its eyes shone with a savage light.
Its terrifying claws could destroy an entire tree with a single swipe.
'A seventh division Lifeseizer poison scorpion lion. Although it's not very strong, these rogue cultivators won't be able to handle it.'
Ling Xiao thought to himself.
The most terrifying thing about poison scorpion lions was their deadly venom.
Once poisoned, it could paralyze the victim's nerves, making it impossible for them to unleash their full power.
Of course, cultivators with strong poison resistance were an exception.
"Eee?"
Ling Xiao's jaw dropped as he realized that one of the five was Fan Tuan.
Fan Tuan had mentioned that he knew people in Blighttown, and these were probably the people he was referring to.
They were all in the sixth division of Lifeseizing, which was why they only dared to attack demonlings under that level.
They had encountered the poison scorpion lion by accident.
After some discussion, the five of them decided that they had the advantage in numbers, and thus decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, they found themselves in a difficult situation.
However, the five of them worked very well together, much better than Lei Oldwolf's team.
From the looks of it, they didn't just meet on the spot. Most likely, they had known each other before coming to the Primeval God Necropolis.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to work so well together.
Of the five, two of them wielded bows and arrows, which they shot at the poison scorpion lion from a distance.
One of them was clearly a spiritfolk cultivator who specialized in secret magic attacks.
His secret magic not only weakened the poison scorpion lion's fighting prowess, but also improved the fighting prowess of his allies.
In fact, he was the biggest threat to the poison scorpion lion.
Of course, these three weren't the main fighting force.
The main combat power was still Fan Tuan and another person.
Fan Tuan was obviously a meat shield. This guy's defense was very strong. When he used the steel saber, he was simply a huge hedgehog.
Whenever the Poison Scorpion Lion tried to attack the others, he would immediately stop it.
Even though he was much smaller than the Poison Scorpion Lion, he was no weaker than the Poison Scorpion Lion in terms of strength.
"Fan Tuan has also grown. After the battle with Old Wolf Lei, although his cultivation base did not break through, his combat prowess has clearly soared."
Ling Xiao smiled, feeling rather gratified.
After all, Fan Tuan was a friend that he acknowledged. The better Fan Tuan did, the more comfortable he felt.
Of course, Fan Tuan was not the core of this team.
At the center was a young man in a white battle robe. He looked to be around 20 years old and held a long spear in his hand.
Every time the spear stabbed into the manticore, Yang Qi could sense that his cultivation base was on the verge of breaking through to the seventh division of Lifeseizing.
"Although it looks like it's going to be a tough battle, the demonic beasts won't be able to hold on for long after being besieged by them."
Ling Xiao wanted to help, but he gave up when he saw this.
Just as he was about to leave, Fan Tuan and the white-robed young man unleashed their final, deadly attacks.
The Poison Scorpion Lion slumped to the ground, never to move again.
"Old Bro Fan, you're so strong! Without you as a meat shield, we wouldn't have been able to deal with this guy."
The young spiritfolk warrior was a young woman. Seeing that the Poison Scorpion Lion had been killed, she ran over excitedly. "And Big Bro Zhao, your spear skills are godly! You're almost in the seventh division of Lifeseizing, aren't you?"
In response to the young woman's praise, Fan Tuan laughed heartily and said, "Of course I can help."
However, the white-robed young man seemed a bit arrogant. "It's just a Poison Scorpion Lion," he said coldly. "I can handle it myself."
As soon as the words left his mouth, strange expressions appeared on the faces of the other four.
None of them liked arrogant people like him.
Not to mention that he wasn't strong, and yet he was arrogant and self-righteous.
"Hahaha! Old Bro Zhao, we all know how strong you are. You don't need to say anything more."
Fan Tuan laughed heartily, clearly trying to ease the awkwardness of the situation.
By this point, the two bow-wielding martial artists had already cut open the Poison Scorpion Lion's body.
"So, there's a demonling core, and even a life crystal!"
Both Fan Tuan and the white-robed young man looked over in shock.
"I can't believe there's a life crystal here!" he said. "I thought demonlings under the seventh division of Lifeseizing only had a ten percent chance of finding one.
I can't believe our luck is this good! "
Fan Tuan said excitedly.
"That's right!" the white-robed young woman said. "If you used that life crystal to trade for mid-grade spirit stones, that thumb-sized piece would be worth a hundred thousand mid-grade spirit stones.
Furthermore, life crystals can be used to heal injuries.
I've heard that good life crystals can heal almost any injury. "
"We really struck it rich this time! There's five of us, so each of us can get twenty thousand mid-grade spirit stones.
And that's not even counting the demonling core. "
"Hmph. Life crystals are nothing. Did you know that the reason demonlings can form life crystals in their bodies is because they eat Nine Reincarnations Soulgrass?
I've already investigated. There are two more Poison Scorpion Lions in their cave.
One of them is a mutant. Although it's still in the seventh division of Lifeseizing, it's still much stronger than an ordinary seventh division Lifeseizer.
But if we can get that Nine Reincarnations Soulgrass, we can trade it for ten million mid-grade spirit stones. That means each of us can get two million mid-grade spirit stones. We can live in Bingcheng for the rest of our lives. "
The white-robed young man said disdainfully.
"You make it sound nice," the white-robed young man said. "Considering how strong the five of us are, it would be very difficult for us to defeat an ordinary poison scorpion lion.
We don't even know how powerful that mutant poison scorpion lion is. If we fought it, we'd probably be wiped out.
The reason we came here is to be able to cultivate peacefully in the city.
The cultivation speed here is many times faster than on the outside.
I don't want to take any risks. "
One of the bow-wielding young men said.
"So what do we do? Ask for help? But who's going to help us?
Besides, even if they do, what if someone else tries to take the Nine Reincarnations Soulgrass for themselves? "
The young woman couldn't help but ask.
"The way I see it, we shouldn't take any risks. We only have one life, and we can't afford to lose it."
Fan Tuan had experienced the struggle between life and death, and knew exactly how precious life was.
In this world, there was nothing more important than life and death.
"Big Bro Fan, why don't you let me help?"
All of a sudden, a voice rang out.
The white-robed young man immediately tensed up. Gripping his spear tightly, he turned to look in the direction of the voice.
"Old Bro Ling Xiao!"
Fan Tuan said, overjoyed. "Don't worry, Old Bro Zhao. This is a good friend of mine."
