After wandering around for a while, Wutian finally stopped in front of the Fire Cicadas.
There was a protruding piece of land here that was relatively close to the Diyuan Spiritual Grass.
The ground was overgrown with weeds that were three inches deep. Wutian hid in the weeds. If he did not make any noise, it would be difficult to find him.
He frowned slightly. The next thing he had to consider was how to get close to the center of the swamp.
Everyone in the swamp was afraid of it. If one fell into it, they would sink deeper and deeper. Struggling would be useless, and there would be no chance to escape.
This was a nightmare for those below the Hundred Dynasties Stage. But the Diyuan Spiritual Grass was still growing there. Wasn't this torture?
Time passed little by little. The Fire Cicadas and Fire Cicadas were starting to get restless. Many of them had even summoned their spiritual pets and were waiting.
"Rustle …"
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound nearby. Wutian's ears moved slightly. He caught it immediately. He turned his head and looked through the weeds. He saw three familiar figures slowly crawling over.
It was Tide and the other two. Obviously, they were also here for the Diyuan Spiritual Grass!
Wutian suppressed the killing intent in his heart and quietly crawled to the side to make room for the three of them. He then held his breath and carefully hid.
When the three of them came to his original position, Redwood was surprised. "I didn't expect there to be Diyuan Spiritual Grass!"
Yue Qianli asked suspiciously, "Senior Tide, how did you know?"
"At first, this swamp was only about a hundred feet. I didn't expect that after five years, it would become like this …"
Tide sighed and said, "Five years ago, during the Endless Experience, I accidentally found this place. At that time, the Diyuan Spiritual Grass had just sprouted. Its medicinal properties were not enough, so I didn't pick it. After that, I came here every year for five years. But I didn't expect that as soon as it matured, I would encounter the Endless Experience. I was also found by the Fire Cicadas and Luo Shenzi. "
"No wonder you asked me to subdue a Puffer Dolphin. It turns out that your goal was the Diyuan Spiritual Grass!" Yue Qianli suddenly realized.
Previously, he was still wondering why Senior Sister Tide would ask him to find a way to get a pufferfish. It turned out that she already had plans.
Tide's eyebrow wrinkled slightly. "I predicted that the swamp would become bigger and wider. Just in case, I asked you to keep a pufferfish as your spiritual beast. But I didn't expect it to become so big."
"Senior Sister, you have a brilliant plan. With the River Dolphin, it will be easy to get the Diyuan Spiritual Grass. As long as you refine this medicine, you will be able to break through to the Small Success Stage. Hehe, at that time, the Fire Cicadas, Luo Shenzi, and Yan Yangzi will all be no match for you. As long as they die, the three positions of the titular disciples will be ours!" Yue Qianli said sinisterly.
Tide said solemnly, "You can't let your guard down. Let's not talk about Yan Yangzi. He was only given the title by the First Elder. He is just a piece of trash. But the strength of the Fire Cicadas and Luo Shenzi is obvious to all. They each have a lot of trump cards and won't be easy to deal with."
"Senior Sister is right. The two of them were able to complete the Endless Training five years ago. Their strength is unfathomable. They are definitely not as simple as they seem on the surface!" Redwood agreed.
After a moment of silence, Tide said, "Junior Brother Qianli, I will have to trouble you later. You will ride the pufferfish into the swamp and secretly get the Diyuan Spiritual Grass. If you are accidentally discovered, Redwood and I will block you and cover your retreat. You will go to the Withered Bamboo Forest and wait for us. If we don't arrive in two hours, you will give up the training."
"Okay, I understand!" Yue Qianli replied.
"However, you must take the Three Corpse Poison." Tide took out a medicine bottle from her mustard seed bag. Inside it was a pitch-black pill with a foul smell that made people dizzy.
Yue Qianli's face changed. He said gloomily, "Senior Sister, you don't believe me?!"
Tide did not think so. She said lightly, "Junior Brother Qianli, in the sect, why are we called the Three Evils? It means that we are more ruthless than others. We are more poisonous than others. Other than ourselves, we do not believe in anyone. I think you should understand!"
"Redwood, you …"
Before he could finish, Redwood interrupted, "Just do as Senior Sister Tide says."
Yue Qianli was silent. His face was dark and uncertain. He knew how powerful the Three Corpse Poison was. He had used this poison to harm countless people.
Because of this, he did not dare to agree. Only Tide had the antidote for the Three Corpse Poison. If he gave her the Diyuan Spiritual Grass and she did not give him the antidote, then he would still die. And it would be a very unjust death.
"I know your concerns. As long as you abide by our agreement, I will give you the antidote in time!" Tide smiled. She looked very friendly.
Yue Qianli shook his head. His meaning was obvious.
A hint of coldness flashed in Tide's eyes, but it disappeared in a flash. Yue Qianli, who was looking at her, did not notice it at all.
She pretended to be silent. After a while, she said, "How about this? I will give the antidote to Redwood and let him keep it. You should be relieved now."
"Junior Brother Qianli, what do you have to worry about now? With our relationship as brothers, would we harm you? If you really think so, I would rather give up on fighting for the Diyuan Spiritual Grass. But this way, I'm afraid we will never be able to fulfill our wish! "Redwood said.
Yue Qianli hesitated. In the end, he could not resist the temptation of being a titular disciple and nodded in agreement.
Wutian sneered in his heart. It was obvious that Tide and Redwood did not have good intentions. If it were any other time, he would not be so easily fooled. But now, it was related to his future status and power. This was the so-called blinded by greed. He did not know that he had already taken half a step into the gates of hell.
"Fight, fight to the death …" Wutian muttered.
The three of them were well-prepared. They even got the pufferfish. It seemed that the Diyuan Spiritual Grass belonged to none other than the three of them.
In fact, the pufferfish was an extremely ordinary demon beast. It lived in the swamp all year round and had the same nature as the Mud Beast. However, it was inferior to the Mud Beast and had no offensive power at all.
The only advantage was that the pufferfish was in the swamp and other demon beasts could not sense its aura. It was like air. Therefore, it was very safe to ride on it.
"Maybe I have to change my plan!" A strange smile suddenly appeared on Wutian's face.
Tide said, "Junior Brother Qianli, it's about time. Let's start. Be careful, there can't be any mistakes."
"Remember your promise!" Yue Qianli said.
Then, he held a token and jumped into the swamp silently. However, in the process of descending, the token in his hand flashed and a pitch-black demon beast appeared. It was three meters long and as thick as a water bucket. Its mouth was long and sharp, and its two rows of pitch-black teeth were like blades.
This was the pufferfish. Its abdomen, back, and tail each had a fin. They were like palm-leaf fans that swayed left and right as it slowly moved forward.
Its speed was not very fast, but it was very stable and did not make any noise.
"Xi 'er, this kid is really stupid. After being with us for so long, he still hasn't figured out the relationship between us. He actually believed me. Hehe, I have to say that he's too naive!" Chi Mu smiled.
Tide's eyes rippled, and she was extremely charming. "Being too naive can easily lead to death. Didn't his parents teach him to be more careful about everything? What an idiot. We've been calling him the Three Evils all these years, and that's really flattering. Brother Chi Mu, let's throw away the antidote. As long as he dies, there will be no evidence of him framing Yan Yangzi. The Diyuan Spiritual Grass will belong to us. "
"No rush, no rush. It might still be useful if we keep it!" Chi Mu changed his style from before. His eyes were filled with wisdom and he looked more like a resourceful strategist.
Wutian shook his head. These two were indeed not good people. They were in cahoots with each other. Even the people who had been with them for many years were ruthless enough to scheme against them.
On the other side, the Fire Cicadas and Luo Shenzi were unaware of Yue Qianli's actions. They all wanted the Diyuan Spiritual Grass and did not want to back down. They were in a deadlock.
"Ah! The Diyuan Spiritual Grass is gone … "
Suddenly, a scream woke everyone up.
They looked over in surprise and saw that the lush green spiritual grass in the center of the swamp had disappeared. This was like a bolt from the blue and everyone was furious.
Especially the Fire Cicadas and Luo Shenzi. They both shouted at the same time, "Who is it?!"
"No matter who it is, you will die today!" The Fire Cicadas's face sank. Someone actually dared to snatch food from the tiger's mouth. Even if it wasn't a human, but a demonic beast of the swamp, they could not tolerate it. They shouted, "Fire Spirit, come out!"
"Roar!"
A ferocious demonic beast suddenly appeared beside the Fire Cicadas. It was three meters long and one meter tall. Its whole body was covered in scales as if it was made of magma. It was red like fire. If one looked closely, they would see that it was a real flame. It was steaming on the surface of its body, emitting a shocking temperature!
This beast looked extremely strange. Its head was as big as a basin, like a dragon's head, and its huge body was like a musk deer. Its tail was almost one meter long and covered in scales. It was no different from a fire dragon's huge tail.
Moreover, its neck was covered with an inch long red mane. It looked like wisps of rising flames.
As if it was made of fire elements, it spewed out flames and rained down fire. All the flowers and trees within a hundred meters were instantly turned into ashes!
"Fire Kirin!!!"
Everyone present sucked in a breath of cold air. This was the legendary primordial beast, the Fire Qilin!
Even Luo Shenzi was distracted.
The Fire Kirin was a legendary beast. It was the darling of the fire elements. It was born with the ability to control fire elements. It was more than ten times stronger than the human's fire spirit. It could incinerate everything. Its divine power was unfathomable. It was extremely ferocious and could fly!
The legendary ancient beast had actually appeared beside the Fire Cicadas. This was even more shocking than the Diyuan Spiritual Grass. It could no longer be described with words.
Desolate Era ferocious beasts! Wasn't it an existence that deterred a region and slaughtered millions of creatures? It was an existence that stood proudly above the Nine Heavens and looked down on all living beings …
The Fire Kirin was even more terrifying. Since ancient times, the number of times it had appeared could be counted with two hands. It was on par with the Heaven-Swallowing Beast and had a transcendent status. It was an invincible king of an era!
No one would have thought that the Fire Cicadas's spiritual pet would be the Fire Kirin …
"How is this possible? The Fire Kirin was already extinct hundreds of millions of years ago. It's impossible for it to reappear in this world …"
Chi Mu's face was pale. His heart was in turmoil. He couldn't accept it for a moment.
Wutian's pupils contracted. He was obviously shocked. However, he wasn't as tongue-tied as the others. This was because he had a Primordial Swallowing Frog that could transform into a Heaven-Swallowing Beast.
Moreover, this Fire Kirin wasn't pure-blooded. A true pure-blooded Fire Kirin would have two horns on its head. This one didn't. Moreover, it was still in its infant stage and wasn't very strong.
Wutian was confident that he could kill it in a few rounds.
