The Seventh Evil Witch was also feeling gloomy. The situation was starting to spiral out of control, but her heart was bleeding. This was the first time in her life that she had been tricked.
Their original plan was to first feed the manticore with poison, then surround it and slowly exhaust it to death.
Although there was a small accident at the beginning, the tiger-headed man was still very efficient. He successfully fed the manticore the Beast Spirit Pill. The following ambush was much more exhausting than expected, but they were starting to see results.
Just as they were about to reap the rewards, a sudden change occurred. No one would be able to take it.
It was like a starving man seeing a beautiful lady. Before he could pounce on her, he was caught by the constables.
It was too late to make any adjustments now. Everyone looked at Liu Piaopao, hoping that she would give them a definite answer. It was all up to her to decide whether to advance or retreat.
Jiang Xinwei also began to curse, saying that they had been tricked by the White Bone Gate.
Seeing everyone like this, Liu Piaopao gritted her teeth and pointed at Ou Yangmei and the tiger-headed man, indicating that the three of them should deal with the manticore in the valley together. If they missed this opportunity, there would be no next time. If they couldn't complete the Ancestor's orders, that would be the worst.
Ou Yangmei regrouped with Liu Piaopao after a while. However, what surprised her was that the tiger-headed man flashed by and stood ten meters away from her. He stretched out his hand and said, "White Bone Spiritual Serum." Then, he stood there and waited for Liu Piaopao's reply.
In truth, Yi Tian was only giving the order based on the person. If he didn't extort some good stuff from her, he would be letting himself down. Seeing Liu Piaopao ponder for a moment, she made a decision. She took out a small bottle from her storage pouch and tossed it over to Miao Yi.
Yi Tian caught it and opened the lid to take a whiff. He felt a peaceful spiritual energy coming from the bottle.
At first glance, the White Bone Spiritual Serum was as clear as water, but it was full of spiritual energy. He knew that it was good stuff. He closed the lid and put it away in his storage pouch.
The three of them quickly walked towards the valley. When they passed by Liu Piaopao, they heard her say, "I hope you don't disappoint me."
After a cold snort, Yi Tian said without turning his head, "Let me attract your attention."
After saying that, he took out the corpse of the Flash Wolf that he had snatched from the mouth of the Jasper Scorpion.
After rushing into the valley, the three of them immediately split up. Yi Tian zigzagged back and forth, slowly approaching the manticore's nest.
Upon closer inspection, the manticore was noticeably smaller than before. It had probably only reached Tier 4 not long ago. Even though it had gained sentience, it was still no match for Yi Tian, who had been around for a long time.
Forming a seal with both hands, the tiger-headed man concentrated most of his spiritual power into his four limbs. Then, under the astonished gazes of the two women, he suddenly launched his attack.
He quickly approached the Manticore and threw the Flash Wolf at it. The little manticore bit down on the wolf's body. Its sharp teeth tore the wolf's body into three pieces, and it even swallowed the middle piece. Its front claws continuously swiped at the tiger-headed man.
Seeing that the other party had set a trap, Yi Tian dodged to the side a few times in midair. Then, he signaled for the two to attack.
Unfortunately, the Jasper Scorpion's poison wasn't as strong as the Yin Corpse Parasite's poison. At the very least, the little manticore's legs didn't show any signs of weakness.
Ou Yangmei's steel whip missed several times, and Liu Piaopao's bone spear also missed several times. The two of them glared at the tiger-headed man, only to see him pointing at the manticore's legs. Liu Piaopao turned around and saw that the manticore's legs were beginning to tremble. It turned out that the effects of the poison were too slow. It was hard to control the time.
After hearing Liu Piaopao's shout, Yi Tian couldn't afford to slack off anymore. He took out a talisman with his right hand and poured his spiritual power into it. The two mid-grade spirit stones in his left hand continuously replenished his spiritual power.
More than ten fireballs flew forward in three waves. After a series of explosions, at least thirty percent of the fireballs hit the manticore. Obvious black spots appeared on the manticore's body.
Under Liu Piaopao and Ou Yangmei's spells, the little manticore was beaten until it was dizzy and disoriented. It staggered, then roared at the sky. Then, flapping its wings, it flew out of the valley like a gust of wind, not forgetting to look back at the adult manticore at the entrance of the valley.
Liu Piaopao glanced at the tiger-headed man and nodded at him. The gloominess in her heart was greatly alleviated.
Yi Tian saw her pick up the crystal bottle on the ground and hurriedly flew around the nest. Before he left, he didn't forget to call out to her, "Hurry up and help out at the front."
Yi Tian spat and muttered to himself, "Do you really think I'm just an errand boy?" In his heart, he secretly planned to ask her to do the list later.
Yi Tian had no choice but to return to the entrance of the valley to take care of the manticore. Wu Xing was still in front of him. If he was used as a tool and died in the secret realm, he would feel very guilty.
When he returned to the entrance of the valley, he saw that the situation wasn't looking good. Just now, the manticore was at a disadvantage because of their advantage in numbers. Now, the manticore was resisting the effects of the Yin Corpse Gu Poison and was starting to counterattack.
Jiang Xinwei's Bronze-Armored Corpse had lost an arm and its strength had been greatly reduced.
As for Shi Feiran, two of his flying swords were stuck in the manticore's body and couldn't be pulled out. He had no choice but to take out seven small swords from his storage pouch and form a sword formation to attack the manticore.
The most miserable one was Xie Chuanxiong. He was in a sorry state. The awl in his hand was broken and there were three bloody marks on his chest. He must have been scratched by the manticore's front claws. Blood was still flowing out.
Wu Xing, who was hiding in the distance, occasionally used fireballs to attack the manticore. However, he didn't cause much damage to the manticore, so he was also ignored.
When they saw Yi Tian and Ou Yangmei return, the four of them were overjoyed. When they saw the manticore fly away, their hearts were beating like drums. Now, they could finally relax.
The six of them attacked again, and under a barrage of spells, the manticore was once again on the verge of defeat.
This time, Jiang Xinwei was determined to keep the manticore here. He summoned a Bronze-Armored Corpse from his Yin Corpse Pouch, scaring the people around him.
Fortunately, he wasn't that strong. When he saw the refined corpse covered in cuts and bruises, he felt a pang of pain. He transferred spiritual energy from his hand and swapped out the Bronze-Armored Corpse.
From Yi Tian's point of view, no one here was easy to deal with. The manticore was slowly losing ground. Just as it was about to succeed and retreat, Jiang Xinwei suddenly shouted, "The manticore is going to go all out!"
Yi Tian didn't even think about it. He summoned wind under his feet and used Gale Flash with all his might. After jumping thirty meters away, he raised his shield to defend himself.
The manticore rushed forward and swiped its front claws. Before it died, it used a desperate attack to kill all six of them. Its body fell to the ground with a thud, and its eyes slowly closed.
Three claw marks appeared on Yi Tian's shield. Fortunately, the shield had been refined many times, so it easily blocked the attack. However, he was pushed back ten meters by the force.
The Bronze-Armored Corpse stood in front of Jiang Xinwei. Ou Yangmei had also summoned a female corpse to defend herself. The two of them hurriedly retreated. The refined corpse had helped them block the attack. They were in a sorry state because they had used too much spiritual energy.
Shi Feiran's sword array was destroyed in one hit, leaving a three-inch scar on his chest. Fortunately, he had retreated in time, so it wasn't a big deal. However, his chest was bleeding profusely.
Wu Xing was far away. When he saw the opportunity, he placed his cauldron in front of him. Three claw marks appeared on one side of the cauldron. It seemed that the cauldron had been destroyed, and Shi Feiran had only been sent flying.
Turning around to look at Xie Chuanxiong, he saw that his body had been split into two by the claws. It seemed that he wouldn't survive.
Yi Tian hurriedly ran to Xie Chuanxiong's side and helped him up. Xie Chuanxiong's mask fell off and after looking at Yi Tian, Xie Chuanxiong passed on a message to Yi Tian in a soft voice, "Please help me pass the items in the storage pouch to Xie Chuanjie of the Xie family of Sheng Jiang Country's Jade Dragon City." I'll be extremely grateful if you can look after the Xie Clan in the future. "
Seeing Yi Tian nod, Xie Chuanxiong forced a smile on his face. In the end, he sighed, "I couldn't help it." After saying that, he died.
After taking Xie Chuanxiong's storage pouch, Yi Tian looked around. There was no place to bury him, so he could only use a fireball to burn the corpse to ashes. It was better than letting the corpse be eaten by the monsters.
The two from the Corpse School ignored the others and ran up to the manticore's heart with their swords. The blood flowed all over the ground. Ou Yangmei used a mercury bottle to catch the blood. Then, they saw Liu Piaopao waving at them from the top of the manticore's nest. The two of them hurried over.
Seeing the tiger-headed man wave his hand, Wu Xing and Shi Feiran endured the pain in their bodies and followed him.
The six of them gathered at the center of the nest. Seven Evil Witch waved the spring water in her hand, while Ou Yangmei raised the mercury bottle in her hand. The two of them walked to the center of the nest, as if they were looking for something.
Wu Xing looked at the manticore and shouted out the words' Lionheart Grass'. Seeing that the others didn't understand, he pretended to be deep in thought before explaining, "Lionheart Grass is a kind of spiritual herb that grows in the depths of the manticore's nest. It can be used as long as it's watered with spring water that contains a large amount of spiritual energy and the manticore's heart's blood. It's usually used by Jin Dan cultivators to heal their injuries. " ‘’
After hearing this, Yi Tian looked at Jiang Xinhe and the Seven Fiend Witch in the distance. So these two were working for their respective backers. No wonder they would put in so much effort to bring out all the spies they had hidden for so many years.
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard Liu Piaopao and Ou Yangmei arguing. The four of them immediately ran over to take a look.
Liu Piaopao held two jade boxes in her hands, while Ou Yangmei held one.
From their words, it seemed like they were arguing over how to split the Lionheart Grass. The spring water and manticore's blood were just enough to mature three stalks of Lionheart Grass.
After the Seven Evil Witch put the three jade boxes in, she took two for herself and gave one to Ou Yangmei. Then, the dispute started.
The six of them were divided into two factions, their eyes full of hostility. Although they had just fought side by side, they were now on opposite sides.
After Liu Piaopao put the jade boxes in her storage pouch, she didn't waste any more words with the other side. In any case, she meant that since the White Bone Gate had gathered so many spies to complete this mission, they should take one more stalk.
However, Ou Yangmei refused. She even said that if it wasn't for Jiang Xinwei resisting the manticore, it wouldn't have been so easy to obtain the Lionheart Grass.
She even pointed at Wu Xing. How could he be considered a helper? He was a complete piece of trash. The smell of gunpowder between the two sides instantly rose.
On the other hand, Jiang Xinwei laughed creepily. When Yi Tian heard this laughter, cold sweat dripped down his back. This wasn't his original voice.
Jiang Xinwei's face contorted, and then he aged a little. He opened his mouth and laughed cruelly, "Little brats, you've worked hard. You can all stay here."
Liu Piaopao's expression changed. She panicked and called out a name, "Yin Lixing!" The three beside her were also shocked. This was the Corpse School's Patriarch Jin Dan, Jiang Xinwei's master.
The Seventh Evil Witch acted as if she was facing a great enemy. She transmitted her voice to the three people beside her, "This is the Corpse School's Patriarch Jin Dan's divine sense is attached to Jiang Xinwei. He can take control of Jiang Xinwei's body at critical moments. He can even use 20% of his original body's power. No one here can withstand him.
After laughing, Jiang Xinwei said, "Eldest Niece, you don't have many people left. Why don't you stay and refine them into corpses for my disciple?"
"Wishful thinking!" Before he could finish speaking, Liu Piaopao flew out on her magic tool at full speed.
However, Jiang Xinwei was even faster. His entire body was wrapped in Yin spiritual energy. With a leap, he blocked Liu Piaopao's path.
