It's the New Year! On the first day of the New Year, I send all kinds of greetings to my readers. I hope that my readers will be rich, healthy, and happy in the New Year!
The mountain path leading to the Taoist temple was rugged and narrow, and a strange wind blew over from time to time. People with low cultivation would be blown away by this strange wind if they weren't careful.
Tao Feng led two of his fellow disciples and walked in front of them like a gentleman. As they approached the dilapidated Taoist temple, Lu Xiaotian discovered that the color of the gate of the Taoist temple was constantly changing. It was gold, green, blue, red, and yellow, and it would change every ten seconds.
"Brother Lu, we must all enter this gate within ten breaths. Otherwise, we won't be able to teleport to the same place," Luo Qing reminded Lu Xiaotian.
Lu Xiaotian nodded, but he was a little puzzled. He wondered who this Hunyuan Taoist was, and why he could make such a big deal out of it.
"When we entered the Water Gate, we ran into the Heavenly Wolf Sect's cultivators. This time, let's try another gate. Let's enter the Fire Gate."
Tao Feng asked for Zong Sheng and Luo Bing's permission, and then he led the way to the red gate of the Taoist temple. The gate was like a light curtain formed by fire, and the nine people passed through it smoothly one after another.
Figures flickered, and the smell of blood assailed their nostrils.
The seven people of the two sects were fighting fiercely. One of them was a cultivator from the Heaven Territory Sect, while the other was a disbanded cultivator from the Southern Wilderness. There were many corpses on the ground, and a jade box was thrown into the air, and a Sword Energy slashed it into pieces. A huge spiritual pressure spread out from Yao Dan. Yao Dan seemed to have a pair of golden wings, and it flew into the distance. It seemed like Yao Dan was a metal-elemental bird.
"It's a metal-elemental eighth-level Yao Dan!" Tao Feng, Zong Sheng, Luo Bing, and the others looked at the uncontrollable Yao Dan in surprise. It was no wonder that the two sects were fighting fiercely.
"Haha, this Yao Dan is ours. Let's get this Yao Dan first, then we can divide it." Zong Sheng laughed out loud. With a wave of his hand, a strong suction force flew towards Yao Dan. However, Zong Sheng's expression quickly changed. The strength of the seventh level Yao Dan's escape was far beyond his imagination. He actually managed to escape from his control, and his speed of escape was even faster than before.
"You want to beat Yao Dan? Dream on!" When Zong Sheng made his move, the cultivators from the Southern Wasteland and the Heavenly Vault unexpectedly ended their battle and chased after Yao Dan.
"Chase!" Tao Feng and Luo Qing exchanged glances and made the same decision. A single eighth grade Yao Dan could produce about five drops of Dan essence. Even if their attributes were not the same, they could use it to exchange or sell it to other cultivators. The amount of spirit stones they could earn was an unimaginable fortune for them. Even if the nine of them split the spirit stones, each of them would gain a considerable amount. With their abilities, they would not be able to kill a seventh-order demonic beast even if they worked together. An eighth grade Yao Dan was something they could only come across by chance, not to mention that there were only six cultivators from the other sects in front of them.
The Yao Dan flew above a lake and was swept into the water by the waves on the Origin Surface.
Whether it was the cultivators from the other sects, Tao Feng, or Lu Xiaotian, none of them were willing to let it go easily. After all, this item was too precious.
The two groups of cultivators entered the water one after another and chased after Yao Dan to the bottom of the lake. When Lu Xiaotian entered the water, he used the Dissolving Water Pearl without batting an eyelid. He had only used this pearl once when he left Full Moon City and escaped the pursuit of the cultivators from the Ancient Sword Sect. It allowed his combat strength to not be affected in the water at all. At the same time, he could sense foreign objects in the water more clearly.
The Rank Seven Monster Core fell in front of more than a dozen red and enchanting corals. These corals were like bamboos and were segmented. Among them, the tallest one was at least half a zhang tall, and its branches were densely packed. There were actually more than a thousand segments. The eighth grade metal-type Yao Dan landed on the tallest coral.
"A thousand-year-old red bamboo coral!" Everyone's pupils constricted. The remaining ones were also hundreds of years old.
A male cultivator from the Southern Wasteland with a white headscarf on his head was overjoyed. His figure flashed and grabbed the eighth grade Yao Dan with one hand. At the same time, he drew his long sword and wanted to take the red bamboo coral as well.
"Be careful!"
"Be careful!"
Lu Xiaotian's heart skipped a beat. At the same time as he reminded Luo Qing, he also received Luo Qing's voice transmission. Luo Qing turned her head and smiled at Lu Xiaotian. Although her face was covered by a white veil, the smile in her eyes could not be hidden. Lu Xiaotian could not help but sigh in his heart. After three days, he had to look at her with new eyes. At this time, Luo Qing was obviously a lot more shrewd compared to the naive girl when he was adventuring in the Full Moon Mountain Range. These Red Bamboo Corals were extremely rare and could be used to concoct the Red Bamboo Pill. However, the Red Bamboo Pill itself could not enhance one's cultivation. Although the red bamboo pill could not be refined, it could increase the cultivation speed of a Foundation Establishment cultivator by several times. The amount of spiritual energy that a normal cultivator could absorb every day was limited. However, the red bamboo pill refined from red bamboo corals could increase the amount of spiritual energy a Foundation Establishment cultivator could absorb every day by several times. If used together with the Cold Maple Pill, Lu Xiaotian was sure that his cultivation speed might even surpass Yuan Hao's.
In Lu Xiaotian's eyes, these red bamboo corals were even more precious than the eighth grade metal-type Yao Dan. Similarly, it was also an irresistible temptation for other cultivators. The red bamboo corals had been extinct in the cultivation world for many years. He did not expect to encounter them in the Immemorial Daoist Scripture, and there were more than ten of them.
However, Lu Xiaotian also noticed that under the fiery red color of the Red Bamboo Coral, there were some remains of demon beasts and a few broken human-shaped skeletons. A few of them still had a few traces of flesh and blood left. Obviously, they had not been dead for long. Since someone had already been here and did not pick up such precious red bamboo corals, there must be a very powerful demon beast hiding near these red bamboo corals.
"Come back! It's a trap! " Another middle-aged cultivator from the Southern Wasteland also noticed that something was wrong. He quickly shouted to remind his fellow sect members.
There seemed to be a wave of fluctuation in the water, like Qi. The young cultivator with a white headscarf who had rushed to the red bamboo corals did not have time to react. His body suddenly stagnated and a scream came from his mouth. There were more than ten holes on his body, and blood flowed out from the holes. The young cultivator with a white headscarf had lost his breath.
"Damn it, what kind of demon beast is this?" Everyone present was shocked. Although the young cultivator with a white headscarf who rushed forward was only an Early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, he did not have time to react and died. His death was too strange. There were so many people present, but no one found where the demon beast was and how it attacked.
Even Lu Xiaotian frowned. He did not find any signs of demon beast activity. Such an enemy was really terrible for them.
"Not good, retreat!" Lu Xiaotian suddenly thought of a possibility. Since someone had come here and died here, there should be traces of a battle or struggle here. However, as far as the current situation was concerned, there was nothing unusual. Obviously, these traces of a battle or struggle had been artificially restored. Ordinary demon beasts did not have this kind of thinking. The only explanation was that there were other cultivators lying in ambush nearby.
"Haha, don't you think it's too late to realize it now?" Loud laughter entered their ears. A strong middle-aged man with a strong aura, bare arms, and black stripes sat on the back of a giant green crab. The middle-aged man was hugging a scantily clad female cultivator. There were also six ugly cultivators with black stripes on their faces, four men and two women.
"The Camel Ridge Eight Monsters!" When the remaining two Southern Wasteland cultivators saw the appearance of these eight people, they were instantly horrified. Then, they looked at Tao Feng, Zong Sheng, and the others and said, "Although these Camel Ridge Eight Monsters are cultivators of the Southern Wasteland, they kill like flies. No matter who it is, only death awaits those who fall into their hands. Although the Camel Ridge Eight Monsters' cultivation is not high, this camel boss and the green crab's battle strength is comparable to a cultivator in the late stage of Foundation Establishment. Although we are hostile forces, we can only kill our way out if we join forces. "
"Camel Ridge Eight Monsters, pretending to be mysterious, kill!" Zong Sheng roared and patted the spirit beast bag. A white light flashed and a stone ape roared out, going straight for the boss of the Camel Ridge Eight Monsters.
"This idiot." Tao Feng cursed in his heart. There were still a few foreign cultivators present. Now that Zong Sheng had provoked the most powerful opponent, as a cultivator in the same group, wouldn't he have to bear the greatest pressure? However, although he cursed in his heart, Tao Feng's figure flashed at this time. His speed was not slow at all, and there was a dark green ruler in his hand. With a swing of the ruler, dozens of wind blades shot out. However, this dark green ruler, which was unparalleled in the air, was greatly limited in the water. The wind blade's attack power was not the strongest among the many methods, but it was one of the fastest. Now that it was moving through the water, its speed was greatly limited. Naturally, there was no way to have a substantial impact on the Camel Ridge Eight Monsters from the Southern Wilderness.
"Are you trying to scratch an itch with us?" A short dwarf in black short clothes among the Camel Ridge Eight Monsters laughed strangely. The copper long whip in his hand made a few whips, and the dozens of wind blades were all destroyed.
Tao Feng was furious. The dark green ruler in his hand trembled, and a huge whirlwind pushed the water in front of him, as if it was going to squeeze out a vacuum. The dark green ruler suddenly enlarged by dozens of times, and a huge ruler shadow smashed down on the head of the dwarf in black clothes.
One of the Camel Ridge Eight Monsters, the dwarf in black clothes, was slightly shocked. With a shake of his wrist, the copper long whip in his hand suddenly straightened, and like a long spear, it pierced into the air and hit the ruler shadow.
The collision of the two forces caused a violent explosion, and the lake's surface surged with monstrous waves. After all, Tao Feng was stronger. The dwarf in black clothes' face swelled red, and he looked like he could not hold on.
The other tall and thin youth beside him was also one of the Camel Ridge Eight Monsters. Seeing that the dwarf in black clothes was unable to hold on, he quickly flew over to help. Just by looking at his speed, he was actually faster than Tao Feng.
Just as Luo Qing was about to make a move, she saw Lu Xiaotian extend his hand, and a large ice seal appeared out of thin air. It smashed down from the water, and without any warning, it smashed towards the blood-colored dwarf. Meanwhile, a golden flying dagger broke out of the water, and a dazzling golden blade Qi blocked in front of the tall and thin youth.
The dwarf in black clothes was already slightly weaker than Tao Feng, and now that he was attacked by Lu Xiaotian's Cold Desolation Seal, he was immediately unable to hold on. He spat out a large mouthful of blood, and his knees buckled. He was about to kneel down.
"Good timing." Tao Feng was overjoyed. Although he was secretly on guard against Lu Xiaotian, he never thought that Lu Xiaotian's strength would be so great. While blocking one of them, he could also provide him with such great assistance. It was almost equivalent to two cultivators of the same level working together. However, this was not the time to think about this. The most urgent matter at hand was to break through the blockade of the Camel Ridge Eight Monsters. Otherwise, once the mysterious monsters behind them attacked, they would be in a situation where they were surrounded by enemies. The green ruler shadow was about to smash into the blood-colored dwarf's head.
"Don't be so arrogant!" The bare-shouldered man sitting on the giant green crab grabbed at the air, and a large saber about ten feet wide broke through the water, grabbing onto the green ruler shadow. At the same time, the bare-shouldered man took out a black chain hammer, which whistled as it smashed towards Zong Sheng's stone monkey. The stone monkey took the blow head-on, and was actually pushed back more than ten feet by the black hammer. Zong Sheng took out a long spear about ten feet long, and hurriedly rushed forward. He was also forced back by the bare-shouldered man's chain hammer.
Although the dwarf in black clothes was no longer under the pressure of Tao Feng's green ruler, he was already injured. Under the pressure of Lu Xiaotian's Cold Desolation Seal, his body trembled, but he was knocked away by the bare-shouldered man's large hand holding the green ruler.
The bare-shouldered man, with his own strength, was fighting against Zong Sheng and a stone monkey of similar strength. In addition, Lu Xiaotian and Tao Feng were working together, and he seemed to still have some strength left. This person's strength might not even be comparable to an ordinary late Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator.
The exposed woman standing on the giant green crab threw out a thunder ball, which hit the Red Bamboo Coral.
Everyone suddenly turned pale with fright. Looking at the situation, it was obvious that they were going to provoke the demonic beasts inside. At the same time, the exposed woman released a Demon Cuttlefish from her Spirit Beast Pouch. It spat out a large amount of thick black liquid, and at a speed visible to the naked eye, it wanted to dye the water in front of it black. If the black water covered this area, Lu Xiaotian and the others would rush out, and they would inevitably be like headless flies, and the other party could wait for them on the other side of the black water area.
"Let's hurry up and leave!" At this time, they were in an extremely disadvantageous situation, and were attacked from the inside. Luo Qing raised her eyebrows, and when she unsheathed her sword, the moonlight in the sky seemed to pour into the water. Luo Qing waved her sword lightly, and a burst of light and shadow in the water blurred, making people feel as if they were in a mental state.
The dwarf in black clothes screamed, and one of his arms fell off his body. If it were not for the other two Camel Ridge Eight Monsters who saved him, he would have lost his life.
While the black liquid spat out by the cuttlefish was spreading, Tao Feng, Luo Qing, Lu Xiaotian and the others passed through this area one after another.
"How dare you hurt someone right under my nose! Hand over your life!" The bare-shouldered man jumped up from the back of the giant green crab, and his body was abnormally agile. The chain hammer in his hand danced in the air, and turned into three hammer shadows, respectively attacking Lu Xiaotian, Luo Qing, and Tao Feng.
Zong Qing, Jin Yue, Tao Jing, and the others rushed out one after another, and took over the position of Lu Xiaotian and the others, fighting with the other Camel Ridge Eight Monsters and rushing out of the black water area.
