Chapter 230 A Chance Encounter with He Shou Wu
Moreover, he usually didn't interact with these people, so apart from the captain, everyone else in the team kept their distance from him, and even seemed somewhat resistant to him.
However, Xia Liangchun had his own ideas. He believed that it was useless to get along with these people and would only waste cultivation time, so he didn't care about them at all.
He usually ignored them, only showing himself when he came to the northern frontier to hunt monsters.
Before long, the group cautiously ventured several miles deeper into the territory. Once there, Xia Liangchun dared not continue drinking and making merry, fearing that he might attract some ferocious monsters.
"Alright, let's hunt down some monsters around here." Once he felt they were deep enough in the area, Eight-Sword Demon stopped abruptly and turned to the group behind him.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Seeing that everyone had agreed, Eight-Knife Ghost gave Wang Ke a wink.
Upon seeing this, Wang Ke immediately leaped up a large tree with the agility of a swallow, and then swiftly darted and jumped through the bushes like a monkey. Moreover, he didn't make a sound while leaping through the forest, as if he were born to do this.
Seeing this, everyone immediately followed closely behind Wang Ke, and soon they unexpectedly met Wang Ke standing on a big tree.
"Captain, there's a fluctuation of spiritual energy ahead. I reckon it's either a spiritual vein or some rare treasure. We're going to strike it rich this time."
Wang Ke's face was full of excitement; he was already fantasizing about how to divide the spirit stones among himself.
With such a significant contribution, I'm sure I'll receive a larger share of spirit stones, and the uses of these spirit stones...
He turned to look at Wang Yuexuan, and the answer was self-evident.
The Eight-Sword Demon moved with the agility of a swallow, leaping swiftly onto a giant tree like a bird in flight, and then swept his sharp divine sense across it like that of a hawk.
In the blink of an eye, he leaped down from the tree like a gust of wind.
"Indeed, it is a rare and precious treasure. I will remember your contribution." Eight-Knife Ghost's joy was as bright as spring flowers in full bloom, and he could not contain himself.
Just now, he had discovered a He Shou Wu plant, and upon closer inspection, it appeared to be quite old.
However, the problem is that the Polygonum multiflorum already has an owner.
This he shou wu (Polygonum multiflorum) grew beside a unicorn python, which was greedily devouring the flesh and blood of a powerful monster.
Eight-Knife Ghost secretly speculated that this one-horned python must have killed the demon beast and then seized its cave and the He Shou Wu (Polygonum multiflorum).
Since the owner of the cave had passed away, the He Shou Wu (Polygonum multiflorum) lost its means of concealment, and its aura leaked out like water bursting a dam.
“There’s a Tier 1 venomous python. As usual, you guys keep it occupied while I attack it.”
At Ba Dao Gui's command, as powerful as thunder, he drew a large sword and sped forward like an arrow.
Xia Liangchun was not to be outdone; carrying an exquisite magic sword, he followed closely behind.
The others followed at a leisurely pace, as if taking a stroll in a garden.
The group sped along at breakneck speed, and in no time they arrived in front of a cave.
"throat!"
A strange cry, like that of a night owl, suddenly came from inside the cave.
However, nothing came out of it.
Surprisingly, the aroma of the Polygonum multiflorum vanished without a trace, like smoke.
"What's going on? There's not a trace of the medicinal herb." One of the team members looked puzzled, completely baffled.
"Could we have been tricked by this monster? Maybe it lured us here on purpose." Wang Yuexuan's face showed fear, like a frightened bird.
Monsters are known for using various methods to lure cultivators to their destinations, only to then cruelly kill and devour them. This kind of thing is commonplace in the Northern Frontier.
After all, the demonic beasts on the outskirts of the northern border have been fighting with humans for many years, and some of them have long since become cunning and shrewd.
"No, I've already investigated. This monster definitely didn't lure us out. Let's force it out first."
After saying that, the Eight-Sword Demon Hand raised his sword and swung it down like a storm, unleashing a dozen sword strikes towards the cave. The sword energy danced wildly like silver snakes, intertwining with each other in an instant, and flew straight into the cave like arrows released from a bow.
Seeing this, the others dared not slack off and began to use their special skills to continuously send spells into the cave.
Xia Liangchun also casually cast a few minor spells. He always had a good habit of never wasting a single bit of magic power when he didn't understand something.
"throat!"
The monster inside the cave seemed to have been struck and could no longer restrain itself. Like a startled tiger, it suddenly burst out.
After the unicorn python appeared, its appearance and aura were revealed to everyone without reservation.
Everyone frowned. This demonic beast possessed a powerful demonic aura, like a surging ocean wave, and was many times stronger than any they had encountered before.
Eight-Knife Ghost was well aware of the beast's strength, but there was no turning back now, and the He Shou Wu plant inside the cave was of utmost importance.
"Don't worry, I'll finish this quickly and kill it. You guys go and keep it occupied."
However, before anyone could make a move, the opponent struck first. The unicorn python burrowed into the ground like lightning, leaving everyone without a target to attack.
While everyone else was stunned and at a loss, Xia Liangchun had already leaped onto a towering tree like a nimble ape, his eyes scanning the ground like a hawk.
Unfortunately, with their limited spiritual sense, they were completely unable to detect the unicorn python dozens of meters below.
Seeing this, the others followed suit and jumped up onto the giant tree.
However, one of them was a little slow. Just as he leaped up, the unicorn python burst out of the ground like a dragon emerging from the sea, and pierced him through with its incredibly sharp horn, like skewering a candied hawthorn.
The cultivator, filled with resentment, finally collapsed in despair.
Upon seeing this, the crowd was enraged and immediately unleashed various spells, launching a fierce attack on the monster like a storm.
However, this monster was like a giant beast covered in strong armor. After being hit by several spells, it continued to burrow into the ground as if nothing had happened.
Seeing the monster disappear into the ground again, everyone's faces turned deathly pale. The undetectable danger was like a venomous snake lurking in the darkness, the most deadly of all.
"attack!"
Without hesitation, Eight-Sword Demon raised his sword and slashed downwards like a storm.
With each slash, a sharp, lightning-like blade of energy would burst forth from the blade, slashing fiercely at the soil below.
Seeing this, everyone unleashed their unique skills, bombarding the area below like a storm.
However, no matter how they attacked, the creature below remained unresponsive, like a sleeping behemoth.
No one dared to stop for even a moment, for fear that if they were careless, the monster would emerge like a ghost and harm them invisibly.
Just as everyone was attacking frantically, a colorless, odorless, and transparent gas, as clear as a ghost, suddenly rose from the ground, drifting like wisps of smoke into the bushes and spreading towards the group.
Eight-Knife Demon, being at the bottom, was the first to smell the strange odor. At first, he didn't notice anything unusual, but after taking a few more breaths, his face instantly turned ashen.
However, his expression quickly returned to calm, as if he had been frozen in place, with only his stopped breathing revealing an ominous air.
He did not tell anyone about this, but only launched a fierce attack on the ground below.
