"That was close. Thanks to Brother Lu just now." Su Qing looked at the dense fire bats behind her with a face full of fear. Then she rolled her eyes and said, "Others say that Brother Lu has mediocre aptitude and that it's hard for you to achieve anything. However, I think those people are all blind. This is also because Senior Apprentice Brother Lu has been keeping a low profile. If you were to reveal one or two moves, I'm afraid those Golden Core Stage seniors would fight over you to be their disciple. "
Some words could be said by Su Qing, but Luo Qian and Lu Xiaotian were not that close. Moreover, with his face, it was impossible for him to say these words. But he was also very curious. He had been to the Book Collection Hall of the Spirit Cloud Palace. He had even asked his master, Lei Wantian, but he had never heard of any cultivation method that had such a terrible attacking effect.
"It's not that those people have bad eyesight. It's true. If it weren't for the fact that I've been risking my life for the past few years and had countless near-death experiences, I'm afraid that I would be no different from an ordinary person now."
Lu Xiaotian shook his head and smiled bitterly. He knew himself well. Although he had good luck and dared to take risks, in fact, if it weren't for the magical Bounded Domain in his body that could continuously ripen all kinds of spiritual objects to be used for alchemy, with a large supply of elixirs, his cultivation would never have reached the level it was now.
"Let's not talk about this. We're not completely out of danger yet. Brother Lu, what do you think we should do now?"
"What else can we do? Naturally, we should go in the direction of the Gold Condensing Fruit. Naturally, we'll take it one step at a time."
Lu Xiaotian shrugged. The main reason why he had exposed some of his strength before, besides the Green Armored Skeleton, was that he had spent some time with Su Qing and Luo Qian. It was not advisable to completely hide his strength in front of these two people. It was only because of the appearance of the three skulls that he exposed a little more of his strength.
After the fire bats occupied a new territory, a large number of fire crow eggs were broken. The fire crows in the distance constantly cried out. When Lu Xiaotian and the others saw this scene, they couldn't help but sympathize with him.
"Caw …" On the top of a towering tree, a Fire Crow's nest was obviously larger than the others. Several Fire Crows fought to the death without retreating, facing the siege of hundreds of Fire Bats. The leader was a Rank 4 Fire Crow. At this moment, its feathers were constantly falling under the siege of the Fire Bats, and some of them were emitting a burnt smell.
Inside the nest, most of the Fire Crow eggs had been bitten by the Fire Bats. A Fire Crow chick was stronger than a normal chick. Facing the attacks of the Fire Bats, it was not afraid. Instead, it ferociously pecked at the Fire Bats. But how could a Fire Crow chick resist those adult Fire Bats? If it weren't for the adult Fire Crows trying their best to defend themselves, they would have been bitten to death by the Fire Bats or burned to ashes by the fireballs.
There were too many Fire Bats in the surroundings, and the main force of the Fire Crows had already fled far away. The remaining Fire Crows were just arrows at the end of their flight. It wouldn't be long before they ran out of fuel and died. In the Immortal Cultivation World, this kind of war between species was not rare. Although Su Qing and Lu Qian felt that it was a bit tragic, they didn't find it strange. In the blink of an eye, only the strongest Rank 4 Fire Crow was left of those stubborn Fire Crows. However, its small body was like a withered leaf drifting in the wind and rain.
However, when Lu Xiaotian saw the stubborn Fire Crow chick, who was still tenaciously but powerlessly resisting these undefeatable enemies, he couldn't help but think of his own desperate resistance when he was just an odd-job worker in the Thunder Blade Sect, chopping firewood in the back mountain and facing wild wolves and other wild beasts in the forest. Although the other side was only a small Fire Crow, their circumstances were somewhat similar. Lu Xiaotian couldn't help but feel somewhat moved. He raised his hand and dozens of wind blades shot out, cutting the Fire Bats besieging the Fire Crows in half.
The Rank 4 Fire Crow was startled and hurriedly looked in Lu Xiaotian's direction. When it saw several aliens attacking, its weak eyes carried a trace of vigilance. However, when it saw a large number of Fire Bats flying over from further away, the Rank 4 Fire Crow's eyes were filled with despair. Then, it wailed at Lu Xiaotian and the others. A trace of determination flashed in the Rank 4 Fire Crow's eyes. It flew into the nest, picked up the Fire Crow chick with its sharp beak, and flew towards Lu Xiaotian's direction. It could feel that the aliens in front of it had a trace of pity for them.
Lu Xiaotian stretched his hand forward, and a gentle wind appeared, wanting to hold the two Fire Crows, one big and one small. However, contrary to his expectations, the Rank 4 Fire Crow only stretched out its beak, and with a trace of human-like affection and reluctance in its eyes, it let out a sorrowful cry and quickly fell to the ground. With a bang, the Fire Crow's head hit the ground, and it died on the spot. Lu Xiaotian looked over and found that there was another Fire Crow on the ground that had been dead for a long time. He couldn't help but feel somewhat shocked. Even if it was not uncommon for human cultivators to become Dao Companions, the longer they cultivated, the more rational they would be. It was very rare for them to die for love. He didn't expect these Fire Crows to have such a fiery temperament.
Even Su Qing and Lu Qian couldn't help but be speechless for a long time after seeing this scene.
Lu Xiaotian stretched out his hand and called the Fire Crow chick over. The Fire Crow chick was still young, and it stretched out its beak towards Lu Xiaotian. Lu Xiaotian didn't care and let it peck him. He originally thought it was nothing, but he didn't expect his palm to feel a tingling pain. Lu Xiaotian couldn't help but be a little shocked.
"Brother Lu, what's wrong?" Su Qing saw the strange expression on Lu Xiaotian's face and couldn't help but ask.
"It's nothing, I was pecked by this little guy. This Fire Crow's strength is not small." Lu Xiaotian's expression quickly returned to normal as he said.
"Fire Crows are only ordinary demon birds with limited means, but the tip of their beaks is indeed a little sharp." Su Qing heard this and smiled, and didn't feel anything.
Lu Xiaotian was naturally very clear about the introduction of Fire Crows in the cultivation world. However, he was very clear about his own situation. At this moment, he had only revealed an extremely small portion of his strength. Su Qing naturally didn't think much of it. If she knew that he was already at the peak of the sixth level of body cultivation, she would probably be so shocked that her eyeballs would probably fall out of their sockets. To be able to have such a shocking effect as a body cultivator, unless a vital part of his body was hit, even an ordinary Core level magic tool would probably not be able to kill him in one blow. As for ordinary magic tools, they wouldn't be able to break through his defense in a short period of time. But this little Fire Crow cub, with just a normal peck, caused him to feel a faint piercing pain. Didn't this mean that this Fire Crow cub's beak was already comparable to the attack of some powerful magic tools?
While Lu Xiaotian was feeling uncertain, the Fire Crow cub pecked twice more, and actually pecked open the skin on Lu Xiaotian's palm. Crimson blood seeped out, and the Fire Crow cub's beak just happened to touch it, and it sucked the blood. Lu Xiaotian's cultivation as a body cultivator not only had an extremely strong defense, but also had an extraordinary self-healing ability. In the blink of an eye, this small damage had already been healed to its original state. The Fire Crow cub that had pecked a drop of his blood actually yawned in a very human-like manner, and with a tired face, it actually fell into a deep sleep in his palm. Seeing the Fire Crow cub's naive and restrained appearance, Lu Xiaotian's face revealed a trace of a smile, and at the same time, he was also secretly delighted. He didn't think that a moment of kindness would actually subdue such an interesting little fellow. It was still a cub, and yet it already had such a sharp attacking ability. When it matured, it was very likely that it would have the strength to break through the sixth level of a demon bird, which was equivalent to a Jin Dan stage cultivator. But Lu Xiaotian also had some doubts in his heart. Even if a normal Fire Crow was an adult, it wouldn't be so powerful. Could this little black cub really only be a descendant of a Fire Crow? Looking at its appearance, it was indeed no different from a normal Fire Crow. It was really a strange thing.
After flying for a while, the three of them were finally completely out of the fire bat's range of attack. The fire bat probably just occupied a new area, and needed to consolidate it. It had no intention of launching a new attack on the other demon birds and monsters in the vicinity in a short period of time. The three of them could be considered to have a rare moment of peace. Although they didn't experience too many battles along the way, the previous experience was far more thrilling than a normal battle. When they were resting, Su Qing saw the black but furry Fire Crow cub and wanted to come over and pet it a few times. However, although Little Fire Crow didn't look big, its temper wasn't small. It immediately exploded, and all the black feathers on its body exploded. Coupled with Little Fire Crow's imposing manner, it stretched out its beak and was about to suck it. Su Qing could only gloomily retreat. Seeing that Su Qing didn't insist, Lu Xiaotian also let out a sigh of relief. He had a deep understanding of Little Fire Crow's sharp beak. Su Qing's skin was soft and tender, and if it pecked at it, it would probably take a piece of flesh. However, ever since Little Fire Crow sucked a drop of his blood, it seemed to be especially intimate with him. Compared to Su Qing's attitude, it was like heaven and earth. Lu Xiaotian couldn't help but guess. Could it be that it was the so-called blood binding?
In the middle of the journey, Lu Xiaotian followed Su Qing and Luo Qian while trying to train Little Fire Crow. However, Lu Xiaotian was disappointed. It seemed that other than its sharp beak, there was nothing special about it. After testing it a few times, Lu Xiaotian temporarily gave up. Maybe it was because Little Fire Crow was still too young, or maybe it really didn't have anything special about it. After all, he had saved this little guy previously out of a moment of kindness and didn't have any other intentions. Thinking of this, Lu Xiaotian also felt relieved.
After nearly half a month, the group arrived at the middle of three towering peaks. From the trace of joy on Su Qing's face, Lu Xiaotian knew that the location of the Gold Condensing Fruit was probably not far away.
However, at this time, on top of one of the giant peaks, more than ten figures descended one after another. The leader was a red-haired youth with a somewhat wild expression.
"I didn't think that there would be people coming at this time. May I know who you are?" The red-haired youth laughed and shouted at the group from thousands of feet away. Although he was so far away, his voice could still be heard clearly.
Su Qing, Lu Xiaotian, and the others' complexions suddenly changed. They didn't expect that there would be outsiders coming at this time. Looking at their attitude, it was clear that they weren't here to sightsee. Their intentions were self-evident. The group of twelve people was led by the red-haired youth. This red-haired youth's identity was probably not simple. However, people with noble status always had some trump cards. Su Qing and Luo Qian were both like this. If it weren't for the Core magic tools bestowed upon them by their elders, they wouldn't be able to challenge cultivators at the peak of the Foundation Establishment realm. Even if they were more powerful than cultivators at the same level, they still wouldn't be able to challenge cultivators at the peak of the Foundation Establishment realm.
"We are just ordinary loose cultivators passing by this place. May I know which sect you are from?" Su Qing had also experienced a lot in the past few years. She was no longer a simple girl from a rich and powerful family. How could she expose her own sect when she didn't know the other party's background?
"If you are just loose cultivators, then that's good. I plan to go to a treasure hunting place. Why don't you come with me? If there are any benefits, as long as you are willing to help, then you will naturally get a share of the benefits."
Although the red-haired young man said so, his eyes were fixed on Su Qing. It was self-evident what he was thinking. Luo Qian, who had always admired Su Qing, was naturally livid.
Lu Xiaotian's expression wasn't very good either. Of course, it wasn't because of Su Qing. If he had to be like Luo Qian, then with Su Qing's beauty, he was afraid that he would be annoyed if he didn't do anything all day long. What he was worried about was that Su Qing wasn't the only one who knew about the Gold Condensing Fruit. The more people who knew about it, the more tragic the battle would be. Lu Xiaotian wasn't too afraid of Foundation Establishment realm opponents, but there were many powerful Jin Dan cultivators in Xuanye City. Once they got the news, then the Gold Condensing Fruit wouldn't be in their hands.
"We ran into a group of fire bats and fled all the way here. We just need to find a relatively safe place. Xuanye City isn't bad. Thank you for your kindness, Fellow Daoist," Luo Qian said in a deep voice.
"Shut up. Our young master didn't ask you."
As soon as Luo Qian said that, the red-haired youth snorted, and a fat middle-aged man next to him scolded him.
"Brother Lu, what should we do?" Su Qing realized that these people didn't come with good intentions and whispered to Lu Xiaotian.
"How far is it from here to the location of the Gold Condensing Fruit?" Lu Xiaotian asked.
"I'm not too sure. I just found it according to my grandfather's description. It shouldn't be too far. At most, it's a day's journey. "Su Qing thought for a moment.
Lu Xiaotian frowned and said, "Don't mix with these guys. Let's go."
"What if they pester us?"
"Let's go for a while first. If they pester us, then we'll make a move." Lu Xiaotian's tone was cold. In front of the Gold Condensing Fruit, as long as it was not a Gold Core stage cultivator, even if there were more enemies, Lu Xiaotian would still find a way to eliminate them, not to mention that there were only two late Foundation Establishment stage cultivators and the red-haired young man was not a mediocre cultivator, the rest of them looked pretty good.
