"Let's attack together!"
Murong Mingyue and Mei Ziyu saw Lu Cangqiong turning into a bunch of gu-bugs. Their expressions changed drastically as they roared.
This must be some kind of darkness secret art used for escaping.
Lu Cangqiong was the personal disciple of the Green-robed Ancestor, as well as the Right Protector. Once he succeeded in escaping, he would surely become a huge threat. Hence, they had to eliminate the roots.
"F * ck!"
Sun Mo also felt his scalp turning numb as he silently mused that he had been too careless. After he suppressed Lu Cangqiong, he became greedy and wanted to use Immemorial Vairocana to force Lu Cangqiong's cultivation art out.
After all, Lu Cangqiong's teacher was one of the five Doyens of the Dark Dawn, a half-step saint. Most probably, Lu Cangqiong had also learned some essence from him.
But who would have known that Lu Cangqiong had no sense of shame at all? He was so decisive and direct when escaping.
He was too shameless.
Facing so many gu-bugs, Sun Mo wanted to act to salvage the situation. In the end, a beam of green fluorescent light shot over.
At dusk, that beam of light was like a shooting star, swift and shining brightly.
It was too fast!
Sun Mo had just glanced at this beam of green light. Before he could react, it had already flown into the group of gu-bugs and exploded.
Bang!
Green fluorescent light splattered like a beautiful firework. The most terrifying thing was that the fluorescent light would ignite upon coming into contact with the target.
Hence, those gu-bugs were all ignited, and crackling sounds could be heard as they burned.
Swish ~
Some of the gu-bugs reassembled and Lu Cangqiong's figure appeared. He writhed and rolled about, wanting to extinguish the flames on his body. He even let out an agonizing scream from his throat.
"Quickly retreat!"
Sun Mo roared.
This was a type of fire powder that had been concocted through a secret art. After it was ignited, it would only disappear after everything in the surroundings was incinerated.
Divine Sight was considered to have given him a helping hand this time around.
"Who are you? If you have the guts, come out and fight 300 rounds with your grandpa Xuanyuan!"
Xuanyuan Po's silver spear trembled as he roared in anger.
Pak!
Before the Battle Ghost's voice faded away, Li Ruolan smacked him on the head.
(Do you feel that your life is too long?)
The gold-medal Chief Brush Brush glared at him.
"His archery skills are comparable to Jebe's!"
Murong Mingyue's beautiful brows furrowed tightly.
That beam of green light earlier was an arrow.
"Teacher Sun and I will attract the enemy's attention... you guys run into the sea.
Mei Ziyu reminded in a low voice.
"This fellow is from the Dark Dawn and is a big baddie. Earlier, he killed many great teachers and students. Thank you for taking action in time and killing this guy."
Sun Mo spoke in a clear voice, "The Saint Gate has a rule that those who hunt and kill darkness great teachers will be able to obtain a huge reward."
Bai Xiqing looked at Sun Mo and praised him in her heart. "As expected of the idol I worship. He is calm in the face of changes and is extremely meticulous. He truly has the demeanor of a great general!"
Sun Mo's words were not only probing the other party's identity but also tempting them with benefits. At the same time, it was also a small threat.
The unexplored Darkness Continent represented both opportunity and danger.
Which cultivator in the Nine Prefectures didn't want to take advantage of this opportunity?
Some people were waiting for the Saint Gate to make a move. After that, they would purchase first-hand detailed information from them. This way, they would be able to ensure that their safety would be greatly increased.
However, there were some powerful and confident cultivators who came directly.
This expert who killed Lu Cangqiong clearly belonged to the latter category.
Right now, the corpse had already been burned to ashes by the green flames. Even the equipment on Lu Cangqiong's body was gone. Hence, if an expert wanted to obtain the reward from the Saint Gate, they had to find someone to testify for them.
And given Sun Mo's current fame, he was undoubtedly the best candidate.
"I saw him killing someone!"
The expert spoke, her voice was clear and melodious. It was a woman.
"It's stable!"
Bai Xiqing heaved a sigh of relief.
"What's stable?"
Lu Zhiruo didn't understand.
"Just based on your teacher's looks, as long as it's a woman, she would basically have a favorable impression of him. Hence, they definitely wouldn't fight."
Bai Xiqing explained.
Swish ~
Everyone glanced over and was dumbfounded. Even Murong Mingyue, who had always been indifferent, had a look of shock on her face.
(Do you dare to bootlick even more fiercely?)
Sun Mo was indeed a little handsome. Alright, he was very handsome. However, it wasn't to the extent where everyone would fall in love with him!
Honestly speaking, Bai Xiqing's words made Murong Mingyue feel that her own style was lowered. (What do you mean by 'as long as it's a woman'?
I don't have any feelings for him.)
Upon seeing everyone's astonished expressions, Bai Xiqing asked in puzzlement, "Is that not the case?"
"Yes!"
Lu Zhiruo nodded in deep agreement.
"Can you guys stop fooling around?"
Sun Mo had black lines on his forehead and felt a little awkward. (Do I have to rely on my looks to make a living? Up until now, I've been relying on my looks to amuse myself.)
Speaking of this made him angry. After coming to the Nine Provinces, Sun Mo didn't even have any casting materials.
"If you guys want to live, quickly leave this forest. Otherwise, the next time we meet you, we will kill you all without mercy."
The expert's voice was filled with killing intent.
"Eh? From this, the other party can't be a local, right? "
Lu Zhiruo jumped in fright.
"Are you talking about the aboriginals?"
Xianyu Wei had a stunned look on her face. After that, she recalled the rumors regarding the Darkness Continent and involuntarily shivered. "I heard that they eat raw meat and drink blood. They even eat humans."
"There are indeed some people living in the Darkness Continent, and the majority of them are the descendants of those pioneers. It's extremely rare for them to live here for generations."
Mei Ziyu sighed. "If it's confirmed, these aboriginals would be in for a bad time."
"That's right!"
Even Li Ruolan, who didn't mind watching a good show, had a worried look on her face.
Because to some organizations, these 'aboriginals' were also resources. In fact, some famous schools would even participate in such experiments.
"You guys rest first. I'll go and pluck the Life-Death Flower."
Sun Mo didn't want to return empty-handed after entering a mountain of treasures.
"Immortal crane, do you have a name?"
"Yes, but you aren't qualified to call me by my name."
The immortal crane was very proud. "I don't make friends with guys who don't like to drink."
"Then what should I call you? Lousy bird? "
Sun Mo rolled his eyes.
"You can call me an immortal bird!"
The immortal crane circled in the air. "After plucking the Life-Death Flower, you have to give me my freedom."
"No matter what, you have been my pet for half a year, right? Don't you know my style of doing things? "
Sun Mo frowned. "Stop talking nonsense and quickly go!"
"That's true."
The immortal crane felt very assured with regards to Sun Mo's character.
When they arrived at the Life-Death Flower, the immortal crane got Sun Mo to stand far away. After that, it started to flap its wings and soared into the blue sky until it disappeared into the clouds.
Sun Mo placed his hand on his forehead and looked up.
Suddenly!
A beam of white light shot down vertically, as though wanting to tear apart the sky. It was so fast that it completely left Sun Mo's vision.
Luckily, Sun Mo's reaction was very fast. He directly looked toward the Life-Death Flower.
At this moment, the immortal crane descended. When it was close to the ground, it started to adjust its direction until it was parallel to the ground. After that, it shot toward the Life-Death Flower like a sharp arrow.
The Life-Death Flower also seemed to have sensed danger. The purple fog transformed into numerous tentacles that tried to block the immortal crane. However, they were a little too slow.
Hu ~
The strong wind pressure brought about by the immortal crane directly caused the sea of flowers that were half the height of a human to collapse.
Swish ~
The immortal crane's long beak successfully picked up the Life-Death Flower. After that, it started to ascend again. Those purple tentacles crazily shot out, wanting to bind it.
However, the immortal crane was still a level higher.
As the Life-Death Flower was plucked away, this flower field seemed to have lost all moisture. It withered at a speed visible to the naked eye. After that, the purple fog also dissipated.
Not long later, with a bang, it completely shattered into powder, leaving behind a barren land.
Huala ~ Huala ~
The immortal crane flapped its wings and landed before Sun Mo.
"Why are you doing so many tricks?"
Sun Mo frowned. "Are you showing off your speed?"
"What do you know?"
The immortal crane spoke in disdain. "I have to increase my speed to the limit and pluck it before it can react. For heavenly and earthly treasures of this level, even though they are plants, they have offensive capabilities."
The Life-Death Flower shone with a purple light. It was very beautiful.
"Thank you."
Sun Mo took the flower while tossing out Freedom Proof and dispelling the contract.
Pata ~
The immortal crane could no longer hold on and fell to the ground.
"Are you alright?"
Sun Mo saw that many feathers of the immortal crane had fallen off. Its skin was also torn and some parts were bleeding. Clearly, it couldn't withstand the gravitational acceleration.
"I'll be fine after a few days."
The immortal crane felt helpless. "I really want to drink a mouthful of wine!"
"..."
Although both parties had dispelled the master-servant relationship and had nothing to do with each other in the future, Sun Mo couldn't leave the immortal crane on this barren land. Hence, he stretched out his hand and clamped the immortal crane under his arm.
"Teacher!"
When Sun Mo returned, everyone immediately rushed over, wanting to see how the Life-Death Flower looked like. Only Lu Zhiruo caught the immortal crane.
After that, she placed it beside the bonfire and took out a deerskin water sack from her bag. She removed the stopper and poured out some wine.
The eyes of the immortal crane immediately brightened.
"You are injured, you should drink less."
Lu Zhiruo persuaded. At the same time, she used the wine to help the immortal crane clean its wounds.
Pak, pak, pak!
The immortal crane raised its wings and whipped them.
(Is there anyone who wastes wine like you?)
(Quick!
Pour everything into my mouth!
Don't leave a single drop behind.)
The papaya girl immediately hugged her head and squatted on the ground. Because she was often bullied by the immortal crane, she was already very familiar with this posture.
"Oi!"
Sun Mo was unhappy. "Why are you bullying her?"
"Because it's her blessing that I'm bullying her."
The immortal crane suddenly spoke.
Swish ~
Everyone directly stared over, dumbfounded.
"Wow, you can actually speak?"
Qin Yaoguang was astonished.
Although there were immortal and spirit birds in the Nine Provinces, no one had seen one that could speak before.
"Of course, I'm an immortal bird!"
In the past, the immortal crane didn't speak because it felt that these humans weren't worthy and would lower its status.
"In that case, Lord Immortal Bird, how should I address you?"
Qin Yaoguang giggled. "In the future, I will buy wine for you to drink!"
The immortal crane no longer spoke. Under Lu Zhiruo's care, it drank wine while recuperating.
Ever since it was accidentally hit by Sun Mo's Air Proof, the immortal crane had no way to leave during this period. This big papaya girl was the one taking care of it.
Because it had lost its freedom, the immortal crane's mood wasn't very good. It would always use its wings to whip Lu Zhiruo. However, the papaya girl didn't complain at all and still did her best to feed it.
In fact, she had even soaked in wine and baths a few times. Moreover, during this process, she could even enjoy the ancient massaging technique.
At the thought of this, the immortal crane suddenly didn't feel like leaving.
These few days could be said to be the most comfortable period of time after so many years of trekking.
(Mn, I'm also tired. I'll stay here for now!)
(When there's nothing to do, I'll drink wine, soak in the bath, bully this little girl, and enjoy the massage. These days are very comfortable.)
"In the future, you can call me Immortal Crane!"
The immortal crane used its wings and patted Lu Zhiruo's head.
