Chapter 123 Cave Trial (3)
It was obvious that the earthworm-like monsters that the monks surrounded and killed were much higher level than the ones that Xiao Lin had killed before. They were at least at the level of ordinary Dzogchen, and in Xiao Lin's view, this A monster might be a mutated monster.
In this cave, Xiao Lin would not be considered a good person. It would be a good idea if these people could block the two groups of silver-winged ants for a moment and give him a chance to escape.
Those monks obviously saw Xiao Lin flying towards them. At first, they showed doubtful expressions, as if they didn't understand why the man flew towards them. In this cave, cultivators Fighting between players is also very common. After all, if you kill one, you will lose one competitor.
But when they saw the two fire clouds measuring several feet in size behind Xiao Lin, their expressions changed drastically, and two of them even cursed, wishing to kill Xiao Lin on the spot. However, Xiao Lin was in an unusually comfortable mood, and even He also found the monks very pleasing to his eyes. As for the swearing words from some of them, he simply ignored them. Rather than risking his life to block the silver-winged ants for him, it was appropriate to let them curse a few times.
Those few people almost gave up on killing the mutated monster without even thinking about it, and instead chose to run away like Xiao Lin.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Lin couldn't help but smile, but then the smile on his face condensed and turned into surprise. It turned out that there was a man and a woman in the group of people who had also cultivated the Great Perfection level. Although the speed of Fengju was still a little behind compared to his own, he could barely keep up with Huo Yun. As for the remaining five, they were in bad luck.
After seeing the two red clouds, the mutated monster jumped directly into the desert and disappeared without hesitation. The two fire clouds originally thought of feeding on the monster first, but they never thought of that. The monster beast was also extremely alert, and when it saw that the situation was not going well, it chose to run away. The two fire clouds hovered for a while at the place where the monster beast burrowed, and then locked onto the five slow-running monks, and then the two red clouds moved toward them again. The five men gave chase.
After the five people saw the monster escaping, the two red clouds targeted themselves. Their faces turned pale with fright, and they didn't care to continue scolding Xiao Lin. They all used up all their strength and started to run away in panic.
Unfortunately, their speed was much slower than the flying speed of silver-winged ants. After a few miles, they were chased by two fire clouds. The five people were also quite smart. After seeing that they could not get rid of the two fire clouds, , actually greeted each other and then separated into five directions and fled.
But a strange scene appeared. The two red clouds paused for a moment, and then split into five groups under Xiao Lin's surprised eyes, each chasing one person.
When Xiao Lin and the man and woman saw this situation, their expressions changed greatly, and then they desperately poured mana into their legs. The perfection-level wind control technique was unexpectedly improved by half a point by their envoy. The three of them flew away into the distance at lightning speed.
The three of them knew very well that if the five people were caught up and devoured, if Hong Yun could still lock on to them, they would definitely catch up with them. During this period of time, they must distance themselves as much as possible to get rid of Hong Yun's lock. .
Originally, if he could not escape the pursuit of the two fire clouds, Xiao Lin planned to use the Fire Cloud Pendant, but since those five unlucky guys bought time for him, Xiao Lin would naturally not be willing to waste his energy and blood anymore. However, in order not to be surrounded by the angry man and woman, Xiao Lin still deliberately kept a certain distance from them.
The two people didn't know if they felt that Xiao Lin was a dangerous person and that it was not a good time for a fight. They actually acquiesced to Xiao Lin's actions, and they also kept a distance from Xiao Lin.
After flying for more than ten miles, Xiao Lin and the man and woman heard several shrill screams from the distance. Xiao Lin had stopped, and the place was completely separated from the two balls of fire. From Yun's gaze, he thought that the two groups of silver-winged ants would not catch up again.
The man and woman also stopped and threw a magic pill into their mouths one after another. Then they sat down cross-legged, as if they were recovering the lost mana. Xiao Lin also threw a Great Recovery Pill into his mouth. , but he did not sit down, but stood, silently practicing the formula of the Dry Water Sutra, and the mana in his body was also rapidly recovering.
After half an hour, Xiao Lin was slightly relieved, because as far as he could see, he did not see the two groups of red clouds chasing after him. It seemed that the two groups of silver-winged ants had given up chasing him.
"Can this fellow Taoist take a step to speak?" I don't know when the man and woman also woke up from their trance, and the man among them said to Xiao Lin from a distance.
Only then did Xiao Lin notice the appearance of the two of them. The man looked to be in his mid-twenties, wearing a gray robe, with a fair face and no beard, thick eyebrows and big eyes. At first glance, he looked somewhat heroic, but he had a reddish rosacea nose. But it greatly damaged his image. The woman beside him was beautiful. She was twenty-four or five years old. She obviously didn't dress up deliberately, but it also gave the woman a sense of simplicity.
Xiao Lin hesitated for a moment, then walked towards the two of them and stood several feet away from them.
From the clothes of these two people, Xiao Lin could tell at a glance that these two people were disciples of Qianling Mountain. Xiao Lin did not want to be chased by the people of Qianling Mountain as soon as he came out of the cave, even though he already had the name Qi Chang. Deadly enemies, but in his opinion, the less he can offend is one.
The woman obviously still had a grudge against Xiao Lin, and she had a bit of annoyance on her face, but this made Xiao Lin more wary. If the two of them were too enthusiastic about him, it would make him suspicious.
"I wonder if you have any advice?" Xiao Lin said lightly. The nine-sided crystal shield surrounding him did not close up, but was still flickering and moving.
The man with rosacea took a thoughtful look at the emerald green spiritual shield surrounding Xiao Lin, and his face showed a bit of solemnity.
"I'm Zhu Wuwu, this is my cousin Zhu Xiaoyu, what do you call me?"
"My surname is Xiao."
"Cousin, this man actually led the silver-winged fire ants to us. He is really shameless to the extreme. Why should you flatter such a man?" As if she couldn't bear it after all, the woman said angrily from the side.
Hearing this, Xiao Lin couldn't help but touch his nose, but there was no awkward expression on his face, as if what he did was taken for granted.
Zhu Wuwu frowned slightly when he heard this, and then said: "Cousin, if you encounter two groups of silver-winged fire ants chasing you, will you lure the fire ants over when you meet other monks? "
"Me?" Hearing this, Zhu Xiaoyu was speechless for a moment. If he was chased by silver-winged fire ants, in order to save his life, he might really do what the person in front of him did. That's the thing about diverting trouble to the east.
"But he led the silver-winged fire ants to us." Even though he knew that something like this happened to him, he would probably do the same thing as the person in front of him, but after all, he was tricked and he refused to return. Some anger is hard to calm down.
Obviously Zhu Wuwei knew his cousin very well. Hearing this, he smiled and said: "Those people are not familiar with us anyway. They can only be regarded as makeshift teammates. Since they were devoured by silver-winged fire ants, we can only complain." This is their fate, and we cultivators should not be worried about such things, but should aim to maximize benefits. "
After hearing Zhu Wuxin's words, Xiao Lin felt a little fond of him. This person really saw things clearly, and he also knew the inner rules of the world of cultivation, the law of the jungle.
The woman did not speak when she heard the words, but the angry expression on her face did not fade away. It was obvious that reason was reason, but anger was anger, which clearly showed the woman's vengeance.
Seeing the expression on his cousin's face, Zhu Wuwei smiled casually, and then said to Xiao Lin: "The silver-winged fire ants are extremely rare insect-like monsters. Although they are not high-level, they are extremely difficult to deal with, especially once they are in large numbers. When there are more of them, they can eat everything, which is a very good means of group attack.”
"Does Fellow Daoist Zhu want to tame some silver-winged fire ants?" Xiao Lin looked at Zhu Wuwei in surprise. Since the other party was a disciple of Qianling Mountain, he naturally had some means of expelling insects and controlling beasts. It was obvious that he was showing favor to him. It's not just about pleasing yourself, there must be some purpose.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, I'm sorry, this wild silver-winged fire ant cannot be tamed, but wherever there are silver-winged fire ants, there must be nests. Although I don't care much about silver-winged fire ants, I do care about them. The silver-winged fire ant queen is extremely yearning. If she can get a silver-winged fire ant queen and tame it, countless silver-winged fire ants can be born in the future, even if the newly born silver-winged fire ants are only elementary-level mortals. The strength of the monsters is enough to make us cultivators in the Qi refining stage invincible in the same realm.
Xiao Lin coveted being invincible at the same level, but of course he wouldn't believe it. Although there are people with extraordinary combat power among cultivators, they must know that there are people outside of them. Xiao Lin still knows this very well. Even if he is invincible for a while, so what? , there are endless weird magic weapons of cultivators, and they restrain each other. Who dares to say that after meeting a monk who can restrain his own magic weapon, he will not be restrained.
"Unlike the two of you, Xiao is originally a disciple of the five major sects. Xiao doesn't want to cause any problems before his goal is achieved, so I'm sorry." Although Xiao Lin also yearned for the silver-winged fire ant, he did not Not wanting to take unnecessary risks, with his current level of cultivation, going to the nest of silver-winged fire ants to kidnap the queen would be a recipe for death.
Hearing this, Zhu Wuwei showed a look of disappointment on his face, while Zhu Xiaoyu still had a bit of anger on his face. After hearing Xiao Lin's rejection, he glared at Xiao Lin fiercely, looking like a girl. I look down on your expression.
Xiao Lin smiled faintly, confessed to the two of them, turned around and left with the wind control technique.
After flying for dozens of miles, Xiao Lin finally came out of the desert. He looked back and saw that the brother and sister surnamed Zhu had not followed him, so he relaxed slightly.
