Gorillas had never been strong and resilient creatures. Compared to those natural predators such as jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards, even if it had a strong physique, its sensitivity and fear of pain and death often made it unable to display its full ability in actual combat.
Silverback was a gorilla that had turned into a spirit. Although its cultivation was successful, it still inherited the defects of its biological instincts. Its cultivation was not weak, but its courage, cultivation, and character were not commensurate; it was very afraid of death. And the reason why its master favored it was because it was smarter than other spirit beasts, so it could stand on its own without the need for too much force.
And Silverback's reaction was indeed worthy of its master's expectations. The moment it was defeated, it guessed that the two young cultivators before it were likely to be the genius disciples of some big sect. It was impossible for the cultivator clans of Celestial Water Lake to cultivate such powerful Foundation Establishment cultivators. These two people must have borrowed the identity of Celestial Water Lake Clan to go out to gain experience, so Silverback immediately put on a mighty and unyielding martyr image — for those young cultivators who lacked experience and still had unrealistic fantasies about the mortal world, this martyr image was the easiest to win sympathy and the easiest to escape. Although Silverback was a spirit beast, it had gradually become familiar with human nature.
Unfortunately, the opponent it encountered this time was obviously not so easy to deceive. Regarding Silverback's method of seeking life in the face of death, Wang Lu's response was to cut off its fingers with his sword and then forcefully step on its head. These two simple actions scattered all the thoughts in Silverback's mind, replacing them with only a thick fear that could not be resolved.
Then, Wang Lu's indifferent voice came into its ears.
"From now on, I ask, you answer. If you can't answer, you die. If you play tricks, you still die."
Silverback nodded again and again, not daring to hesitate in the slightest, let alone talk about any conditions. It could see that compared with its own road robbery, the opponent was obviously more ruthless, more lawless, and that ice-cold killing intent was not the least bit fake. If it was a little careless, the opponent would absolutely dare to kill it.
"First of all, let's start with something simple. Name, gender, age, position."
"… Silverback, male, orangutan, 136 years old."
Wang Lu coldly asked, "Okay, next question, I heard that the Beast Master School is collecting rare spirit dogs near the Grand Cloud Mountain, what's the reason?"
Silver Back was startled. He didn't expect that the other party would ask this question instead of anything else. This was the sect's secret, and if it was really leaked out from its mouth, then …
However, just as Silver Back hesitated for a moment, Wang Lu's Sword of Mount Kun was startled and unceremoniously stabbed into Silver Back's thick arm. Amidst the beast's miserable howl, blood gushed out like a fountain.
"You can take your time to think about the wording, but the longer you think, the more blood will flow."
Wang Lu's tone was indifferent as he sheathed his sword, but the tip of the sword was pointed at the back of Silver Back's neck.
Silver Back trembled as he opened his mouth to speak, but then he heard Liu Li suddenly frowned and questioned Wang Lu, "Senior Brother, I remember it's written in the sect's rules that we can't oppress weak creatures."
Silver Back felt as if it had heard the sound of nature. Even though the heavy injuries on its body were mostly caused by this girl, it still couldn't help but want to praise her 32 times.
Well said, how could a righteous disciple abuse the weak? Even if you want to kill it, you can't abuse it!
However, in the face of Liu Li's serious questioning, Wang Lu didn't explain too much.
Although this result was basically the Beast Master School's own fault — intercepting them in broad daylight, brazenly trying to snatch the spirit dog, and even made the first move. Moreover, when making the first move, they didn't hesitate to injure or even kill people. For this kind of bandit behavior, using violence to curb violence was already considered very cheap.
However, with Liu Li's cognitive ability, why did it need to be so complicated? Wang Lu just smiled. "I'm not abusing it, but cooking."
"Cooking?" Liu Li's beautiful eyes widened. Once again, she felt that her brain capacity was a bit insufficient.
Wang Lu said with a smile, "Orangutan sashimi, have you ever eaten it?"
"Em …" Liu Li awkwardly frowned.
"Later on, we'll take the monkey's brain. Right now, these are the necessary steps of cooking, absolutely not abusing it. So, you can rest assured and wait to eat it."
Liu Li's willowy eyebrows stretched out, and then she said with a grin, "I know Senior Brother is the best, you would never violate the sect's rules!"
Silver Back was simply dumbfounded, thinking, "No, this is absolutely not right! How can this kind of nonsense explanation pass the test? Which sect's rules are so undignified!? "
Unfortunately, before he could think too much, the Sword of Mount Kun had already pierced his body. The intense pain robbed Silver Back's ability to think. As a spirit beast that wasn't good at enduring pain, Silver Back really couldn't bear it.
Therefore, he finally divulged the sect's secret. "Because we are refining a spiritual treasure level beast collar, we need to use the spirit of ten thousand dogs. Relying solely on the spirit dogs of the Division is far from enough. Therefore, we need to collect all the spirit dogs in the vicinity of the Grand Cloud Mountain. Although the strength of the spirit dog around you is not strong, it's a very special breed, which is very valuable for refining spiritual treasure. Therefore, no matter what, we have to get it."
Wang Lu nodded and slightly withdrew the Sword of Mount Kun.
"Refining the beast collar requires the spirit of ten thousand dogs?" Wang Lu pursed his lips, recalling what he had learned in the Teng Cloud Hall in the past two years. In his study plan, the path of tool refining would only be strengthened after he reached the Xudan Stage, so he didn't study it too deeply. However, according to his basic common sense, what Silver Back said should be true.
The most important magic weapon of the Beast Master School to tame spirit beasts was the beast collar. Once the spirit beast was hooked, its magical power and primordial spirit would be involuntarily controlled and could only be at the mercy of others. This was a magic weapon used by the Beast Master School to deal with spirit beasts that were difficult to tame.
However, the beast collar was certainly not omnipotent. The more magical and powerful the spirit beast was, the more difficult it was to tame it. For example, it was very difficult to use a magical tool level beast collar on Silver Back.
However, this time, the Beast Master School wanted to refine a spiritual treasure. In the end, what kind of spirit beast was worth using a spiritual treasure to trap? What's more, it was indicated that the beast collar had to be refined with the spirituality of a spirit dog. This kind of beast collar targeted at a special breed was far more effective than versatile. In conclusion, could it be that the Beast Master School wanted to catch the Howling Celestial Dog …?
When Wang Lu threw this question to Silver Back, the gorilla cursed in his heart. He had deliberately avoided this question and only talked about the beast collar. But he didn't expect the other to immediately ask.
However, if he continued, it would seriously harm the school's interests. Silver Back hesitated for a long time, not daring to open his mouth.
Who knew that Silver Back's hesitation made Wang Lu's eyes light up. "Oh, you're hesitating and don't dare to speak? It seems this is the core problem. Combining the existing conditions, I guess you found a rare spirit dog on the Grand Cloud Mountain. Perhaps its strength is not strong and its grade is not high, but it's especially good at hiding and escaping. Your Division has many Spiritual Masters, but they can't do anything about it. Therefore, you came up with the idea of refining the beast collar. You want to use the spiritual treasure level beast collar to suppress the dog-type spirit beasts within a radius of a hundred miles, so as to limit its mobility. "
Under the horrified eyes of Silver Back, Wang Lu continued to speculate, "For your Beast Master School to muster such a large force, not even hesitating to become a bandit … it's probably because you want to end this quickly, and can't afford to delay. Why do you want to end the battle quickly? Are you worried that someone will obstruct you? Why are you worried that someone will obstruct you? Because that spirit dog is also of great value to other schools, so much so that they don't hesitate to oppose your Beast Master School? So, if I'm not mistaken, it should be a super high-level young spirit beast? Or maybe it's an immortal beast? "
As the silverback gorilla's heart gradually turned cold, Wang Lu chuckled. "Although my guess may not be accurate, I think whether it's the White Dragon Temple, Gentle Cloud Mountain, or even the dozens of Immortal Cultivation Sects within the Grand Cloud Empire, they would all be very interested in my guess. A young immortal beast, even the Five Uniques of the Wanxian League won't be indifferent! So, why don't you take a guess, if I were to spread this news, what kind of miracle would happen? "
The next moment, a heavy voice burst from the sky. "If you really want to do this, I guarantee you won't live past today."
Hearing this voice, the silverback gorilla's face stiffened, and then it was uncontrollable ecstasy!
At the same time, hiding in the distance, Chen Dongzhi and Li Yingying, who had witnessed the whole process with trepidation, could not help but cheer, "Master!"
It was the Beast Master School's King Pill Elder who sensed that Silver Back was in danger through the spirit beast contract!
"Let go of Silver Back and surrender, and I'll spare your life!"
When he spoke, the Elder was still dozens of miles away, but his voice had already passed over first, and it was wrapped in the pure magical power of Daoist Master King Pill. As the sound waves rolled, the vibrating force directly penetrated into the opponent's Jade Mansion, trying to shake the primordial spirit.
The Fire Thunder Incantation of Elder from a high-rank sect, King Pill, could hurt people even dozens of miles away. Regarding Daoist Master King Pill's preemptive strike, Wang Lu just casually brandished the Sword of Mount Kun. The invisible Non-Phase Sword Qi drew out his sword defense, encircling Liu Li and the mottled dog. That sound wave disintegrated at the edge of the sword defense.
Wang Lu propped up his defense, carefully savoring the countershock force from the sword tip. He had already judged that the opponent was a genuine Daoist Master King Pill. Although it was only a low-rank King Pill, and the quality of King Pill was not too good, for the two Foundation Establishment Stage like them, it was still a terrifying opponent.
At this time, Silver Back, who was stepped on the ground, lowered its head, hiding the ominous glint in its eyes. Wang Lu was indeed formidable to be able to block the Fire Thunder Incantation. However, as soon as its master came closer, with the Beast Master School's secret method, it could instantly break free. Man and beast fusion would increase its master's strength, which would then be able to easily take down these two Foundation Establishment Stage insects.
As for Wang Lu, he was still not in a hurry. After offsetting the Fire Thunder Incantation, he pointed the Sword of Mount Kun toward the direction of the sound. "Is that the joker invited by the monkey?"
At the same time, his left hand made a gesture toward Liu Li. The girl's face showed a trace of surprise, but her hand's movement was as fast as lightning.
The Fiery Sword flew out of her hand and went straight down from the top of Silver Back's head, immediately taking its life. However, that gorilla's strange smile was still hanging on its face!
"How dare you! You're courting death! " Immediately followed by Elder King Pill's thunderous fury, which soared to the sky and dyed the entire sky with the color of the setting sun.
Wang Lu inwardly sneered, "Do you think I'm a fool? Who doesn't know that the cultivators of Beast Master School have the strongest fighting power when they join hands with the beast? If I don't take advantage of the time when you're separated to deal with one side first, then when you're together, we'll fall into a bitter fight.
Therefore, I'll break your arm first, and then...
You can play with your bird alone, you fool! "
