209: 129 Pursuing Spirit Beast Warning_1 209: 129 Pursuing Spirit Beast Warning_1 The red flames drew closer to each other and slowly coalesced into a red Fire Phoenix.
At this moment, the Golden Crow Pot flew out and landed in Shen Long’s hand.
In Shen Long’s hand was a red, flashing Pentagonal Array Disk, into which he injected a spell.
Countless red Array Patterns emerged on the stone wall, a flash of red light, and a red light curtain appeared, enveloping the entire cave and trapping the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire within.
Refining the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire would take a lot of time, and it was simply not possible in one month, so Shen Long planned to imprison it, leave the Secret Realm, and find time later to refine the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire.
The red Fire Phoenix crashed against the red light curtain, and countless mysterious runes surged on the surface of the curtain, but it didn’t budge.
The red Fire Phoenix turned into a vast expanse of red flames that covered the red light curtain, leaving it completely unscathed.
The red flames condensed once again into a red Fire Phoenix.
The red Fire Phoenix flapped its wings and dove toward the stone wall, but there was also a red light screen on the surface of the wall.
The red Fire Phoenix collided with the red light curtain, which remained perfectly intact.
It ceaselessly attacked the Formation, to no avail, unable to break free.
After observing for a good half quarter of an hour and detecting no anomalies, Shen Long finally exited the Spirt Control Tower.
The Iron Tail Scorpion obediently stayed by the side, and upon seeing Shen Long exit the Spirt Control Tower, it let out a sharp screech, its stinger swaying from side to side.
Shen Long gave a faint smile, took out a small black flower, and fed it to the Iron Tail Scorpion.
He released the Hundred Eyes Cicada, whose eyes burst out with a dazzling golden light.
“To think that there are no Spiritual Medicines left!”
Shen Long frowned and said as he took out four Storage Bags – these belonged to four Barbarian Cultivators.
He turned the openings of the bags downward and gave a gentle shake, a sweep of colored light passed, and a large assortment of items appeared on the ground.
After a tally, there were five top-quality Magic Artifacts, among them one defensive top-quality Magic Artifact–the Green Glaze Umbrella, and the remaining four were offensive types.
Together, there were over seventy thousand Spirit Stones, more than seven hundred strains of Spiritual Medicines with the highest being six hundred years old, as well as plenty of metallic ores and Spirit Woods.
A person does not grow rich without coming across unexpected wealth; a horse doesn’t put on weight without grazing at night.
Shen Long had no psychological burden in slaughtering the Barbarian Cultivators.
The Hundred Eyes Cicada surveyed the area within a fifty-mile radius and found not a single strain of Spiritual Medicine.
Shen Long released the Green-Eyed Spirit Fox which sniffed lightly in the air and circled around Shen Long – it had caught the scent of Spiritual Medicines.
The Spirit Beasts, Spirit Insects, and Spirit Birds he raised each possessed their own Divine Skills.
The Green-Eyed Spirit Fox had an extremely sensitive sense of smell.
It was currently at the Late Stage of the second rank, and any high-age Spiritual Medicines within a hundred miles could not escape its detection – anything beyond that range would be impossible.
If the Hundred Eyes Cicada could not probe beyond fifty miles, then it was the Green-Eyed Spirit Fox’s turn to be put to use.
Shen Long took out two golden Lingzhi and fed them to the Green-Eyed Spirit Fox, petted its head, and said, “It’s your turn to act.
Find the high-aged Spiritual Medicines, and I will not let you down.”
The Green-Eyed Spirit Fox seemed to understand Shen Long’s words and ran towards the outside of the cave, while the Iron Tail Scorpion’s body emitted a bright yellow light as it burrowed underground to follow along.
The Hundred Eyes Cicada flew out, with Shen Long bringing up the rear.
With the Hundred Eyes Cicada’s vision covering a fifty-mile radius, the Green-Eyed Spirit Fox’s sense of smell covering a hundred miles, and the Iron Tail Scorpion lying in ambush underground, they cooperated with Shen Long in the treasure hunt.
It wasn’t long before Shen Long vanished into the vast mountains.
······
In the vast expanse of a black forest, a muscular man in a blue shirt decorated with silver earrings strolled forward, obviously a member of the Barbarian Tribe by his appearance and attire.
The man in the blue shirt frowned heavily, his right fist shone with a green light, and he smashed it toward the emptiness behind him.
A sound of breaking air rang out, a green Giant Tiger Fist flashed and shattered one giant tree after another.
A yellow light blinked, and a yellow shield flew out, with the green Colossal Tiger Fist pounding on it—the yellow shield only trembled slightly.
Xu Feng appeared with a slight upward curve of his lips, “You actually noticed I was tracking you.”
A black moth fluttered above his head, its wings beating softly—imperceptible to Divine Sense probes.
Color-Changing Moth, master of concealment arts, undetectable even by Divine Sense, ranked twenty-first on the Heaven and Earth Exotic Insect List.
“Spirt Control Sect!
Bug Cultivator!”
The man in the blue shirt furrowed his brow and said, Spirt Control Sect disciples are proficient in Insect Repelling and Controlling Beast Taming, and have a multitude of Strange Bugs and Spirit Beasts.
“Hmph, you dare to track me alone?
You’re seeking death.”
The man in the green robe sneered, forming a spell with his hands.
A bright silver light shone from his body, and a massive shadow of a Thunder Hawk appeared overhead.
Xu Feng slapped the white Spirit Beast Bag on his waist, and tens of thousands of Cold Crystal Ants flew out, converging into a giant white blade several zhang long, heading straight for the man in the green robe.
The man in the green robe hurriedly cast another spell, and the Thunder Hawk shadow spewed out a thick bolt of silver lightning, striking the giant white blade.
The white blade disintegrated, turning back into tens of thousands of Cold Crystal Ants.
Xu Feng formed another spell, and the tens of thousands of Cold Crystal Ants condensed into numerous white arrows, shooting straight toward the man in the green robe.
At the same time, a earthy-yellow Centipede burst out of the ground, its eyes a gleaming gold.
The Golden-Eyed Earth Centipede, skilled in both fire and earth divine skills, ranked six hundred and fifteenth on the Heaven and Earth Exotic Insect List.
The Golden-Eyed Earth Centipede opened its huge maw and spat out a jet of golden flames at the man in the green robe.
The man in the green robe reacted quickly, his body emitting a burst of bright cyan light, forming an additional cyan light shield.
The golden flames hit the cyan light shield, causing its spiritual light to dim.
The Golden-Eyed Earth Centipede’s scythe-like claws struck the cyan light shield, creating a muffled sound upon impact.
The Thunder Hawk shadow opened its beak and released another thick bolt of silver lightning, racing towards the Golden-Eyed Earth Centipede.
The Centipede’s body glowed with a strong yellow light as a thick, yellow earthen armor appeared to protect its body.
The silver lightning struck the yellow earthen armor, which was soon filled with cracks, but the Golden-Eyed Earth Centipede’s strong yellow glow mended them.
The dense white arrows kept hitting the cyan light shield one after another, emitting a series of muffled sounds, and the spiritual light of the cyan light shield grew dimmer still.
The man in the green robe was about to use another technique when his divine sense detected something falling from the sky.
Just as he was about to cast a spell to defend himself, the cyan light shield shattered like a bubble, and a gigantic Spider descended from the sky, its upper body that of a Mantis, its lower half that of a Spider.
The Mantis Spider, ranked nine hundred and thirty-fifth on the Heaven and Earth Exotic Insect List.
The Mantis Spider’s mantis arms pierced the man in the green robe’s defenses and sliced off his head, blood spurting several feet high.
Xu Feng walked over, looted the Storage Bag from the Barbarian’s body, and found a map with some locations marked in barbarian script, which he naturally recognized.
“It seems there’s something good here!”
Xu Feng murmured to himself, his gaze falling on a certain place on the map marked with three barbarian characters, roughly meaning treasure.
He threw out a red fireball, incinerating the corpse of the Barbarian Cultivator, retrieved his Spirit Insects, and left the area.
······
On a steep mountain peak with sparse vegetation that appeared somewhat desolate, halfway up the mountain, there was a cave a few zhang large.
A tremendous explosion erupted from within the cave, accompanied by the faint sound of a tiger’s roar.
In less than ten breaths, the explosive noise ceased.
Inside the cave, Shen Long stood beside a Green Giant Tiger, whose head was punctured with several bloody holes, blood gushing out, as the Gold-Winged Windroc circled uncertainly in the sky.
In the lower left corner of the cave, dozens of Qingfeng Grasses grew, the oldest of which was over four hundred years.
The Green-Eyed Spirit Fox had discovered these Qingfeng Grasses, and Shen Long released the Gold-Winged Windroc, which quickly dealt with the demon tiger guarding the Qingfeng Grass.
He carefully unearthed all the Qingfeng Grass and fed some to the Gold-Winged Windroc.
A white Spirit Beast Bag on Shen Long’s waist started shaking as if the Spirit Beast inside wanted to come out.
His brow furrowed, he slapped the white Spirit Beast Bag, and a fluffy white creature flew out — the Pursuing Spirit Beast.
The Pursuing Spirit Beast roared at Shen Long as if it had discovered something.
“Xu Yunfeng!
Xu Yiqing!”
A hint of cold light flashed in Shen Long’s eyes.
When they regrouped, he had the Pursuing Spirit Beast lock onto their divine sense again.
The Pursuing Spirit Beast was in the late stage of its second-tier at present; as long as they appeared within fifty li, it could sense them, unless their divine sense significantly weakened or surged, at which point the Pursuing Spirit Beast would not be able to detect them.
Knowing he had enemies, Shen Long naturally wouldn’t let them go.
He released the Hundred Eyes Cicada, whose dual eyes lit up with a golden light.
“Southwest direction, three people!
Hmph, kill without mercy.”
Shen Long snorted coldly, well aware of his enemies; he would not allow them the chance to grow stronger.
He swiftly harvested all the Qingfeng Grass, gathered up the Gold-Winged Windroc, the Hundred Eyes Cicada, and the Pursuing Spirit Beast, and ran towards the southwest direction.
