"I didn't discover anything. It's just that when I was fighting with the foreign cultivators, I felt that Senior Brother Xun's attacks were similar to the person who ambushed me. There's no conclusive evidence. Don't have the heart to harm others, but don't let your guard down. Even if it's a fellow disciple, it's not like I've never been betrayed by a fellow disciple before. " Lu Xiaotian shook his head, recalling the thrilling moment when Xun Xiu attacked him. If he hadn't cultivated the Rending God Secret Technique, it was almost impossible for him to escape from Xun Xiu's hands.
Don't have the heart to harm others, but don't let your guard down. Su Qing and Luo Qian both smacked their lips over these words. Thinking about it carefully, they felt that Lu Xiaotian's behavior was indeed so. Especially Su Qing, who had experienced more together with Lu Xiaotian. Especially when they encountered danger, Lu Xiaotian could always be one step ahead of them. This ability to see through people's hearts was not something that ordinary people could possess.
"Senior Brother Xun, let's not talk about it. What's the matter with this Hu Ruining? Brother Lu, what did you see that was wrong? "Su Qing asked curiously.
"It's just a kind of intuition. I can't say for sure. If I really saw that there was something wrong with him, how could I let him leave so easily? There's no basis for groundless accusations. If the result is not the case, saying it will only make people worry for nothing. We'll just have to be more careful in the future. "Lu Xiaotian shook his head and smiled.
Su Qing snorted slightly, obviously not satisfied with Lu Xiaotian's reply. However, if Lu Xiaotian was unwilling to say, she couldn't do anything. On the other hand, Luo Qian frowned slightly as if he was recalling something. However, after thinking about it once, he couldn't find anything out of the ordinary. However, since Lu Xiaotian said so, Luo Qian more or less took it to heart.
After Hu Ruining left, Su Qing naturally didn't lead the two in circles. The three of them directly rushed towards the northwest. At night, they stopped at the foot of a mountain to rest. They didn't need to eat every half a day like ordinary people, but continuously flying over such a large area to search for the Gold Condensing Fruit was also a very laborious task. Under the circumstances of not using the Essence Accumulation Pearl and saving medicinal pills, it was very necessary to meditate to recover magic power. Lu Xiaotian was also meditating with his eyes closed. After two hours, the Dharma power he had consumed before was almost recovered. As for the Qi Accumulation Bead, it stored twice as much Dharma power as he did now. For him now, it was quite useful. It was equivalent to his ability to continue fighting more than doubled. Presumably, the one on Su Qing's body was even more amazing. It was enough for her to continue using the fish scale whip for a while.
"'''s's's's't't't's's''s't't't's a ''s's't.
.. A's's's's a't't't't's't's't't's's/'s's's's a '''s a't's's's...
"Demonic birds. From the looks of it, I wonder how many demonic birds there are." Luo Qian's face turned pale. The primordial spirit of a Foundation Establishment cultivator was extremely powerful. He could already sense that the number of demonic birds in the distance far exceeded the imagination of ordinary people. The demonic beasts on the ground that were not good at flying were not much of a threat to them, but the demonic birds were different. Even if they flew into the sky, they could face endless pursuit.
"They might not be coming for us. However, we must not alarm this group of demonic beasts. Everyone, restrain your auras. Do not alarm them."
Lu Xiaotian's face was also solemn. Demon beasts that lived in groups were usually not very strong individually. It was impossible for them to survive in such a dangerous environment and preserve such an astonishing number of them. Usually, they were extremely united and exclusive. Once they discovered an enemy, they would attack as a group. Even ants could bite an elephant to death.
Creak creak …
In the night, there was another cry, the sound of flapping wings. The few of them looked at each other in dismay. There were such noises coming from all directions, and they didn't know where to run to.
"There's a cave over there. Let's go in and take shelter." Being exposed in the wild like this was not a good idea. If they were not careful, they might be discovered by the other party. Lu Xiaotian pointed to a cave tens of meters away.
Su Qing and Luo Qian both nodded. With their abilities, it was still possible for them to conceal their auras and cross a distance of tens of meters.
The few of them entered the cave one after another. More than ten Rank Two to Rank Three Hedgehog demonic beasts in the cave were easily taken down by the few of them.
Boom boom …
Outside, the sound of explosions could be heard from time to time. The scorching temperature formed a heatwave.
This was a battle between a large number of demonic birds. Although it was pitch-black inside the cave, it did not affect their vision. They could see the shock on each other's faces.
Lu Xiaotian narrowed his eyes and looked at the two groups of demonic birds engaged in a life-and-death battle in the night sky. On one side was a small group of Black Sparrows. They were Fire Crows. The cawing sound from before came from these Fire Crows. Fire Crows, as their name suggested, looked like crows. However, the small fireballs they spat out were not ordinary. This group of Fire Crows covered the sky and the sun. They were densely packed in the sky, and there was no end in sight. No one knew how many of them there were. However, Lu Xiaotian felt his scalp go numb. Not to mention him, even Jin Dan cultivators would be in danger of dying if they were surrounded by so many Fire Crows. Every Fire Crow had the strength of Rank Two to Rank Three. There were also a few Rank Four flying beasts.
Fighting against the Fire Crows was another group of dark red Fire Bats. Not only could these dark red Fire Bats spit out small fireballs, they also had a mouthful of sharp teeth. As long as they had the chance, they would pounce and bite the Fire Crows. The overall strength of the Fire Bats was similar to that of the Fire Crows. There was also a dense group of them in the sky, and their actual numbers were unknown.
"Will these Fire Bats or Fire Crows rush into our cave?" Su Qing said with a pale face. Even if the Elemental Accumulation Pearl on her body allowed her to hold on for a long time, the sheer number of these flying beasts was enough to make her collapse.
"It shouldn't be. At least before the other side is defeated, these flying beasts won't care about anything else. Besides, the surrounding area is so big, and there are more than just a few of us. "Lu Xiaotian shook his head.
"Then what should we do now?"
"What can we do? Let's wait until the Fire Crows and the Fire Bats completely decide the winner. Now that it's a mess outside, we will become the target of their attacks. Whether it's the Fire Crows or the Fire Bats, I'm afraid they will all see us as a threat." Lu Xiaotian smiled bitterly and shook his head. Previously, when he was paying attention to Hu Ruining, he was already very careful, paying attention to the surroundings to see if there were any hidden threats. He didn't expect that he would still overlook a part of it. However, these flying beasts came and went without a trace. They just happened to be in the area where the two groups of flying beasts were fighting. Even if they were elsewhere, with the numbers of these two groups, they might still be in the same situation.
Su Qing's face showed some reluctance, but there wasn't much she could do. She could only sit down gloomily.
The three of them each sat in a corner of the cave, waiting for the two groups of flying beasts to decide the winner. They waited for three days, and the ground was already covered with a thick layer of flying beasts' corpses. The number of Fire Bats and Fire Crows in the sky had thinned out, but at a glance, they were still countless black dots. There was no end to them.
Caw caw …
The Fire Crows' strength was on par with the Fire Bats, but their numbers were inferior. After three days of fierce fighting, they had lost a large number of their flock. The flock seemed to have thinned out a lot, and finally couldn't hold on any longer. The leading Fire Crow, which was at the peak of the fifth rank, let out a few mournful cries, forcing the Fire Bat King to retreat, and led the rest of the flock to retreat. This incomparably tragic race war ended with a pyrrhic victory for the Fire Bats.
The sky was filled with excited squeaks.
The Fire Bats chased for a while, and then the densely packed Fire Bats in the sky scattered, flying to the surrounding rocks, trees, and even caves.
"What are these Fire Bats trying to do?" Su Qing's face tensed up.
"I don't know, maybe they saw the Fire Crows retreat, and now want to consolidate their territory." Lu Xiaotian secretly guessed. After defeating the biggest enemy, it was time to clear out the threats in their own territory.
Looking at the hillside not far away, the Fire Crow eggs that were pushed out of their nests and smashed on the ground by the Fire Bats, Lu Xiaotian immediately understood. These Fire Bats were the invaders, and chased away the original owners of this place, the Fire Crows. After snatching the other party's territory, they naturally wanted to get rid of all future troubles.
"We can't stay here any longer. The Fire Crows aren't too far away from here. Once they leave, the Fire Bats won't be a threat anymore, and our situation will become even more difficult. Let's go! "
Lu Xiaotian didn't care whether Su Qing and Lu Qian agreed or not, and immediately rushed out.
"Brother Lu, wait for me." Su Qing hurriedly rushed out.
"Squeak …" The Fire Bats noticed that there were outsiders in their line of sight, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of Fire Bats pounced from all directions.
"Go in the direction the Fire Crows left in," Lu Xiaotian shouted in a low voice.
A few hundred low-level Fire Bats didn't pose much of a threat to them, but if there were tens of thousands of them, it would be very troublesome.
The few of them quickly changed into ordinary Artifacts. After all, there were too many Fire Bats, and they couldn't kill them all in a short time. Core Artifacts were extraordinarily powerful, but they consumed a lot of supernatural power, and weren't good for a long battle.
Lu Xiaotian was just about to take out the Green Sail, and let the three of them leave. He didn't expect Su Qing to take out a crescent-shaped flying shuttle first.
"Rise! Get on. " Su Qing shouted. Her body lightly leaped onto the flying shuttle, and she rushed forward with the other two at a faster speed than before.
"Crackle!" A bolt of lightning flashed through the air, and dozens of Fire Bats were charred black and fell from the sky, screaming. On the other side, Lu Xiaotian had changed into a black flying sword, and was also rapidly reaping the lives of the Fire Bats. Without using Core Artifacts, Lu Xiaotian's power was obviously inferior to Luo Qian's.
Squeak — —
Seeing the ferocity of Luo Qian and the others, six Fire Bats of fourth to fifth rank immediately gathered together and pounced on the crescent-shaped flying shuttle controlled by Su Qing. The speed of the crescent-shaped flying shuttle was faster than the average Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, but compared to the Fire Bats, demon birds that are good at flying, its advantage was relatively limited. Especially among the six high level demon birds, three of them were at the fifth rank, and their cultivation level was almost the same as Luo Qian and Su Qing. If they were to encounter them head-on, they would naturally be able to kill these demon birds by paying a price, but their speed would inevitably slow down. Once they were besieged by the Fire Bats, the outcome would undoubtedly be disastrous. But according to the momentum of these high level Fire Bats, if they didn't slow down and collided head-on, the result wouldn't be too good either. Su Qing and Luo Qing both had worried expressions, but their eyes were looking at Lu Xiaotian at the same time.
"Keep going, don't slow down." Lu Xiaotian's eyes narrowed slightly. He didn't care too much about this level of attack. His left index finger stretched forward, and the Ice Soul Profound Melody was activated without warning.
The low level Fire Bats seemed to be fixed in the air, and in a moment, they lost their vitality and fell directly to the ground. The movements of the six high level Fire Bats also showed a brief stagnation. After all, the Fire Bat King was only at the peak of the fifth rank, and its cultivation level was slightly higher than Lu Xiaotian. Lu Xiaotian was now at the Foundation Establishment stage, and his spiritual awareness was far superior to cultivators of the same stage. Those whose cultivation level was lower than Lu Xiaotian, without the protection of a special magic tool, would find it extremely difficult to withstand this move. Although the strength of these Fire Bats was not bad, they were only demon birds after all. Besides their own strength, how could they have various magic tools like human cultivators, and without a doubt, they were hit. Although the stagnation was brief, but for Lu Xiaotian, a moment was enough to decide a lot of things. The black flying sword flashed in the air, and the six high level Fire Bats were beheaded without exception, spilling blood as they fell from the air.
Su Qing looked at Lu Xiaotian admiringly. Every time at a critical moment like this, Lu Xiaotian would always make a shocking move under his seemingly ordinary appearance, turning the situation around in an instant.
Luo Qian was even more shocked and admiring. Last time, when he fought the foreign cultivators with Lu Xiaotian, Xun Xiu, and the others, Lu Xiaotian killed several foreign cultivators in the blink of an eye. After all, under the circumstances of the battle, he didn't see the entire process with his own eyes. But now, Lu Xiaotian killed the six high level Fire Bats with a raise of his hand, and he clearly saw the entire process from beginning to end. Even a Jindan magic tool would not be able to achieve this. If it wasn't a Jindan magic tool, then what could have such power? Could it be that Lu Xiaotian had some other extremely powerful treasure on him? But just now, Lu Xiaotian made his move without any warning, and there was no sign of him using any treasure.
Luo Qian was puzzled. The death of the six high level Fire Bats in an instant was a huge loss to the huge population of Fire Bats. Not only were these six high level Fire Bats powerful in battle, but they were also extremely intelligent. During the battle with the Fire Crows just now, they played an extremely important role in stabilizing the situation. If it weren't for these few fellows, they would have to pay an even greater price to defeat the Fire Crows. Seeing Lu Xiaotian's move, Luo Qian realized that even if he had a Jindan magic tool now, he was still far from being a match for Lu Xiaotian. At least, most of his strength came from the Thunder Spear. Without the Thunder Spear, he was only slightly more powerful than ordinary cultivators. However, even if Lu Xiaotian didn't have the Blazing Flame Sword, he was still very powerful in battle. He didn't even know if he had any other powerful moves.
