On the mountain, the old Taoist wore a grim expression as he glared at Lin Jin and the fox demon.
"To think that not only did you cultivate your pet beast into a Dharma body, but you also know how to control monsters. I'm impressed. As expected of someone who has received the 'inheritance'." Black insects swarmed around the old Taoist. In just a few moments, other than a few spots, the entire mountaintop was covered in black. Other than that, there were other poisonous insects swarming around as well. Their numbers were several times greater than the ones Lin Jin encountered in Insect Valley.
Sure enough, the old Taoist had chosen Mount Gu Cong because this was his home turf.
In this mountain range that stretched for hundreds of miles, there was an inexhaustible supply of venomous insects and the like.
Lin Jin was baffled by the old Taoist's words.
The old Taoist's eyes were sharp and he could tell that he was a great beast appraiser. However, Lin Jin didn't understand the 'inheritance' the old Taoist mentioned.
"You call yourself a Taoist but your actions go against the will of the heavens. Why have you lured me here? Can you tell me now?" Lin Jin had long fallen out with the old Taoist so he didn't feel guilty at all. However, he still had to clarify what he needed to know.
At this, the old Taoist chuckled. "Curator? Is that the name you gave yourself? You really don't know what you're talking about. Originally, I really wanted to have a good chat with you, but you refused a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. Then, don't blame me for being impolite. I can capture you and interrogate you about the inheritance. "
This was the second time Lin Jin heard the word 'inheritance' from the old man's mouth.
There was clearly a special meaning behind this inheritance.
Was the old man targeting Lin Jin for this so-called 'inheritance'?
But what inheritance did Lin Jin have?
While Lin Jin was contemplating, the old Taoist had already made his move. A black glow suddenly appeared beneath his feet. Countless black insects had emerged from the soil beneath his feet, ready to launch a sneak attack.
Although Lin Jin didn't know insect mastery and his Beast Deterrence ability was ineffective against these insects, it didn't mean he couldn't detect them.
Hence, Lin Jin leaped up and rode on a cloud.
Almost at the same time, the old Taoist had timed his move. With a swing of his arm, a golden beam of light shot out.
It was the bundle of rope.
It was the rope that had tied White Ape up earlier. Lin Jin was wary of this rope. Based on White Ape's reaction, he could tell that this rope wasn't as simple as it looked. Even with White Ape's abilities, he was still subdued by this rope.
In any case, he couldn't let this rope bind him.
However, the rope was incredibly fast, darting over like an agile snake. Lin Jin pointed at it and his Dragonfire exploded, but it couldn't do anything to the golden rope. Clearly, this thing wasn't afraid of fire and was definitely an incredible treasure.
At the critical moment, a big tree flew up from below and blocked the rope.
The rope was like a snake swinging its tail. With just one whip, the tree trunk that the two of them had to encircle was smashed into pieces.
At this, Lin Jin's pupils dilated and he immediately retreated.
He couldn't be tied up by this rope, nor could he be whipped.
"Haha, just by looking at you, I can tell that it hasn't been long since you received the inheritance. How can you compare to me who has a Daolord's legacy and a Daolord's artifact? You have the inheritance but you don't know how to use it. What a waste. Watch my immortal-binding rope, bind!"
At the old Taoist's command, the rope sped up and reached Lin Jin in the blink of an eye. It coiled around Lin Jin's waist and with a twist, Lin Jin's arms and legs were bound too.
After being bound by the rope, Lin Jin immediately felt his spirit energy being suppressed. It was as if a mountain was pressing down on his body, making it difficult for him to even move.
"Artifact?" Lin Jin had been listening carefully.
The old Daoist called the rope a magic treasure. One must know that magic treasures had existed since ancient times and were the most precious treasures of immortals. Even among immortals, there were very few of them, which was why they were called magic treasures. All of them were magic treasures with special abilities.
Although he was restrained by the immortal-binding rope, Lin Jin wasn't afraid.
He wasn't the only one.
Lin Jin was about to fall from the sky when Shang'er intercepted him with Object Manipulation. With a sweep of her tail, Lin Jin flew away.
"Not again!" The old daoist jumped in fright. He was doing it again. One had to know that the more powerful a magic treasure was, the harder it was to refine it. It was even harder to completely control it.
If the immortal-binding rope was too far away from him, he wouldn't be able to control it anymore. It was like trying to hit a dog with a meat bun. If the dog wasn't caught, the meat bun would be gone too.
"Come back!" The old Daoist conjured a spell, but this time, Shang'er's attack arrived before he could use it.
More than ten trees came crashing down from all directions. Seeing this, the old Taoist had no choice but to use his skills to block the attack. Deep down, he was panicking. That immortal-binding rope was more important than his life so he couldn't lose it.
The problem was, he had never met an opponent like this before. This was a perfect example of borrowing arrows from a straw boat. Who was he supposed to blame for this?
But the more anxious he was, the easier it was for him to make mistakes.
His biggest problem was that he had targeted Lin Jin from the start and not Shang'er.
Based on Lin Jin's current combat strength, unless Lin Jin activated his Nebula Barrier and went all out, he might not be able to match Shang'er in terms of combat strength.
After all, Shang'er was already a Rank 5 monster who had also learned the first four parts of the Beast Energy Formation, Dark Wind, and Demonic Arts.
Back when Shang'er was at the Fourth Level, she was able to take on the strongest Rector of Daluo Temple. Now that she was at the Fifth Level, it would be much easier for her to defeat the Hall of Exorcism's Hall of Exorcism's Hall of Exorcism's Hall of Exorcism's Hall of Exorcism's Hall of Exorcism's Hall of Exorcism's Hall of Exorcism's Hall of Exorcism's Hall of Exorcism's Hall of Exorcism's Hall of Exorcism.
In just a few moves, Shang'er's Object Manipulation and Dark Wind had forced him into a dangerous situation.
Although the sea of insects was ferocious, Shang'er could walk on air without touching the ground. Her six tails could cast spells and sometimes, she could even cast six spells at once. The old Taoist had encountered such an opponent before so he couldn't summon the immortal-binding rope in time.
When he couldn't sense the immortal-binding rope anymore, the old Taoist panicked.
"D * mn it, all of you deserve to die!"
He cursed before biting the tip of his tongue and spitting something out.
Boom!
A cloud of blood mist exploded and swept toward Shang'er. The terrifying thing was, this blood mist was filled with countless blood insects. Just listening to their buzzing was enough to make one's scalp tingle.
Shang'er knew how powerful this was so she immediately retreated. But even so, she had a backup plan. With a gentle sweep of her tail, dozens of sharp rocks on the ground flew toward the old Taoist like swords.
The smaller rocks were only the size of a finger while the bigger ones were as tall as a person. They were so sharp that a direct hit could turn a person into minced meat.
Knowing how powerful they were, the old Taoist stomped his foot and the swarm of insects converged into a wall to block the sharp rocks.
Above her head, the blood mist insects pursued Shang'er relentlessly. There were a few times where she was almost caught by the blood mist insects.
"10,000 Insects Awaken, Insect King Cicada, Devour Order!"
A golden cicada shadow appeared on the old Taoist's body. Then, a wave of mana swept out with him as the center. Everywhere it passed, the venomous insects went berserk. Even the venomous insects that were hiding or sleeping in the soil were all startled without exception.
In an instant, all kinds of venomous insects crawled out of the soil within a ten-mile radius. Everywhere they passed, all kinds of beasts suffered. Some tigers, leopards, and wolves in the mountains also fled in fear. If they were caught by the venomous insects, they would immediately be drowned in the sea of insects and be eaten until only white bones were left.
