Chapter 139 Monster, how dare you disturb my heart!
The young man in white and the burly man were both confused: We haven't quarreled yet, so why is there another one?
No, what's the matter with you?
You are the last one to come, and you are still in the foundation building stage. Are you trying to trick us righteous monks into having too high a moral level to dare to beat you?
Li Xiu often saw that he alone had caused the hatred between the two people and asked them to stop arguing. He thought that he was really good at breaking up the fight.
He cupped his fists and said, "You two fellow Taoists have misunderstood what I meant. We are both righteous monks and are as close as brothers. I really can't bear to see the two of you quarreling and hurting the harmony.
"So I thought it would be better for me to go into the cave and eliminate the monsters. After I kill the monsters, the two of us will share the corpses equally. In this way, the two of us can share the spoils without any effort, and no one will suffer. No matter how friendly we are, we are still as close as brothers.”
"This...fellow Daoist, isn't your work all in vain?" The two of them looked at each other, feeling a little embarrassed, feeling that they were just trying to judge a gentleman.
However, the two of them had a change of thought and thought that although they felt very profitable to be able to share half of the loot without any effort, originally they could keep all the spoils to themselves.
After all, it is not difficult for them to kill the third-level monsters.
Li Xiuchang saw some hesitation between the two of them and asked, "I wonder what we call our two brothers?"
He has changed his title from "fellow Taoist" to "brother".
The young man in white cupped his hands and said, "I'm asking Liang Zaiping, a disciple of the Sword Sect."
The muscular man introduced himself: "Hong Yi, Yin Tian Zong!"
"It's a pleasure to meet you." Li Xiuchang clasped his fists, "Li Xiuchang, a disciple of the Xianchen Sect, I have close friendship with fellow Taoist Ye Zhixing of the Wenjian Sect and fellow Taoist Yue Chongshan of the Yintian Sect."
"Are you and Senior Brother Ye Zhixing good friends?"
"Do you know Junior Brother Yue?"
They had mutual friends, and the relationship became much closer at once. The two of them became even closer to Li Xiuchang.
Li Xiuchang nodded and said: "I know that the two brothers may think that you will suffer a loss according to my plan. In fact, it is not the case. Although there are less trophies, you have gained a friend. Both brothers are smart people. I believe you don't need me. Say more.”
The two of them were deep in thought.
More than just one more friend?
If Li Xiuchang did not come forward to mediate, the two of them would be doomed to have a fruitless quarrel. They could only compete and spar to determine the ownership of the monster.
The two of them are both at the Golden Core Stage, and both are large disciples. No one dares to say that they can definitely defeat the other.
And even if he wins, Liang Zi is destined to end.
In addition, directly rejecting Li Xiuchang's mediation would not only offend Li Xiuchang, but at least it would hurt Li Xiuchang's face.
If you agree to Li Xiuchang's solution, you can not only turn hostility into friendship with the other party, but also establish friendship with Li Xiuchang.
There are two options. If you agree to Li Xiuchang's plan, you can steadily get half of the loot and make two more friends. There is no harm at all.
If you don't agree with Li Xiuchang's solution, you will have one more enemy, and you may still get nothing.
After such a comparison, the two suddenly felt that it was not so difficult to choose.
However, since the two of them were in the golden elixir stage, they certainly wouldn't let Li Xiuchang take action to eliminate the demon.
"I have no objection. I'll just follow your wishes, brother." Hong Yi said cheerfully.
"I don't have any objection," Liang Zaiping said, "I just don't need to trouble Fellow Daoist Li, just let me get rid of the demon."
Hong Yi said: "I'd better go, or go together."
Li Xiuchang said quickly: "Brothers, don't be polite. This cave is so narrow that the three of us can't use it together. I can do it alone. And the main reason I went out this time was to hone my fighting skills and accumulate experience in fighting. Two brothers, please don’t compete with me for this opportunity.”
"There is a third-level monster in this cave..." The two of them looked at Li Xiuchang. Although the following words were not spoken, the meaning was already clear.
Can Li Xiuchang be a match for a third-level monster in just one foundation-building period?
Li Xiuchang said nothing, patted the storage bag, and released a puppet.
"Level 4 puppet!" Hong Yi and Liang Zaiping's expressions changed slightly, and they finally understood where Li Xiuchang's confidence came from.
Liang Zaiping said: "Since Fellow Daoist Li insists, we will not persuade you any more, but let us divide the final spoils equally between the three of us."
Hong Yi also nodded: "That's how it should be."
Both of them are large-scale Jindan disciples and have seen the world. Now that they have taken a step back, they don't mind making things more beautiful.
Li Xiuchang actually didn't care much about the corpse of a mere third-level monster. He mainly wanted to find an opponent to try out the new equipment.
In other words, if Liang Zaiping and Hong Yi were people with evil intentions, he wouldn't mind training with them.
However, since the two of them acted honestly, he didn't bother to take advantage. Just to avoid causing trouble, he agreed temporarily.
"Have the two brothers seen the third-level monster in the cave before?" Li Xiuchang asked.
"When we broke through the entrance formation before, the four-legged snake rushed out and tried to break out, but I blocked it back," Liang Zaiping said.
"I set up a trap at the back of the cave so that the beast couldn't escape through other exits," Hong Yi said.
"If that's the case, then it's foolproof."
Liang Zaiping and Hong Yi repeatedly warned: "If you encounter any danger, you can ask us for help at any time."
"Brothers, don't worry."
Li Xiuchang leaned down and entered the monster cave.
The cave is narrow and damp, with only room for one person to pass through. The light is dim and there is a moist earthy smell.
After Li Xiuchang entered the cave, he asked the fourth-level puppet to block the exit to prevent the monster from escaping.
At the same time, Fan Liang and Tang Yan, the pair of demon cultivator ghosts, were released, and the two souls were asked to explore the way ahead.
The two demon cultivator ghosts were so scared that their souls trembled, but they could not disobey Li Xiuchang's orders, so they could only move forward carefully.
Finally, the two ghosts reached the end of the cave, and the space in front of them suddenly became clear, and a spacious cave appeared.
In the cave, a lizard spirit was lying on the ground, looking directly at the direction of the cave entrance, as if alert to intruders.
In the corner of the cave, there was also a young woman with half-dressed clothes, with a beautiful appearance, but there was a lot of dust and scratches on her face.
Li Xiuchang frowned, and did not feel the obvious breath fluctuations from the lizard monster. This monster seemed to be very good at hiding its breath.
The two ghosts did not dare to move forward, and Li Xiuchang did not force them to move forward.
Instead, he put away the two ghosts, a bone-cutting knife appeared in his hand, and he rushed into the cave with a kitchen knife.
Just when Li Xiuchang's attention was focused on the lizard monster, the young woman in the corner suddenly crawled quickly like a snake and crawled away from Li Xiuchang.
Li Xiuchang understood what was going on, but he was not panicked. He did not chase the young woman who was running away, but stepped forward and kicked the huge lizard in front of him.
The lizard was kicked to the ground, with skeletons scattered all over the ground, and the lizard skin changed for a while, turning into a palm-sized, silky leather item, like a leather handkerchief.
Obviously, this was a trick set up by the lizard monster. The real lizard monster disguised itself as the young woman and slipped away from Li Xiuchang.
But a moment later, the young woman ran back again, but was blocked by the fourth-level puppet, so she had no choice but to retreat.
Facing Li Xiuchang, she suddenly pulled off her clothes on her chest, trying to disturb Li Xiuchang's mind.
But Li Xiuchang would never be fooled, and picked up the kitchen knife and chopped.
"Monster, how dare you mess with my Tao heart!"
The young woman showed a little panic, looking pitiful.
However, she did not see a trace of pity in Li Xiuchang's eyes. Facing the kitchen knife raised by Li Xiuchang, for a moment, she felt like a fish on a chopping board.
"He really wants to chop me like a vegetable!"
