Chapter 197: Sneak Attack and Being Sneak Attacked

Not long after, Gu Xiaowu stood on the small hill and looked into the distance, feeling that there was not much difference between the Barbarian Ancient Land and the Heavenly Determination Spirit Domain, the eyes were full of mountains, rocks, trees, flowers and plants, except for some vegetation that he had never seen, there was nothing special about it, but Gu Xiaowu knew that in that dark and hidden place, there were a large number of demon spirit ancient beasts, and they were not easy to solve the existence. There are only five kinds of demon spirit ancient beasts that are most common around the Black Lion Castle, the most common of which is the black lion, even a newborn lion cub is a fourth-order existence, and the fifth-order is even more common, and the other kinds of demon spirits are only of the fourth order at the highest level. Xiao Wu thinks that there is no problem in dealing with one or two fourth-order demon beasts alone now, that is, if the fifth-order is not an existence that changes his body shape too quickly like a demon wolf, he would dare to give it a try, after all, he is not the original little monk in the middle of the foundation at this time, whether it is mana or divine thought, there has been a great increase and change, and he still holds a powerful treasure weapon in his hand and has mastered several secret techniques, and there is absolutely no problem with self-preservation. Xiao Wu found that it was not early, so he did not continue to move forward but prepared to find a place to spend the night in a nearby safe area, and then explore the area in front of him early tomorrow morning, after all, night is the time for a large number of ancient beasts and demon spirits to move, and he does not dare to run around at night.

After a night of silence, Gu Xiaowu stood on the small hill again early the next morning, and slowly searched in the distance in one direction. Although he has now advanced to the late stage of condensation, his divine sense can extend beyond three miles, but it is easy to unconsciously provoke the detection of the demon spirit without knowing it, and if he wants to explore, he can only explore slowly for more than ten zhang and ten zhang, of course, if there is something in the distance to probe him with his divine sense, as long as the other party's divine sense does not exceed his own too much, he will also find out immediately, so he will always be vigilant. This time, he not only had to explore little by little, but also wrote down the nearby route and topography on the map for later exploration, and today's purpose is to explore everything within five miles east of this hill.

What made Gu Xiaowu feel fortunate was that the direction he chose was the direction that had not yet been explored by others, because not far from the small hill there was a small spirit fruit forest, which was full of blood-red round spirit fruits. Although I don't know what these spiritual fruits are because of the limited information in my hand, looking at the spiritual light they emit, at least it is a useful elixir for Tuoji.

Xiao Wu didn't rush over to pick the spirit fruit, but quietly looked around this small fruit forest, and sure enough, there was something guarding there, it was five second-order to third-order demon monkeys, only three feet tall and covered in black hair, all sleeping under the spirit fruit tree at this time.

When these five demon monkeys found Gu Xiaowu, he was already standing next to them, and the three demon monkeys had already died under a small blood jade sword, and the remaining two demon monkeys jumped three zhang away in a startled jump and ran away two or three times in a row. The demon spirits that can live in the wilderness are not simple, they are either strong or good at hiding and escaping, the three demon monkeys that have just been killed are a kind of demon beast blood-eyed monkeys that have been seen nearby for a long time, their strength is not strong but their vigilance is abnormal, and the ability to escape is something that Xiao Wu has to admire.

Xiao Wuyi recognized these demon beasts, and immediately paid attention to them, and tried these demon beasts to test his newly learned hidden secret techniques. When he was in Fenggu City, he also consulted all the contents of the "Hundred Mantras of the Dao", and found that it was originally divided into five parts: breaking, forbidden, extinguishing, retreating, and concealing, a total of 100 secret techniques, not all of which required a lot of mana to be cast, so he directly picked a few secret techniques that looked practical and could be practiced by himself and comprehended them together with the "Golden Cicada Breaking the Law". It wasn't until he was escorted to the Santuo Ridge of the Nine Sound Valley that he thoroughly understood the most basic and easiest invisible spell and concealment technique in the hidden method, but unfortunately he has never been tested, this time he boldly tried against these five blood-eyed monkeys, and the result was very satisfactory to him, as long as he did not encounter the existence of the divine mind beyond him in the future, he would not be easily seen through its secret technique.

Unwilling to stay here for a long time, he picked one and ate it, then picked and collected more than 100 spirit fruits from more than a dozen other fruit trees, and then put away the corpses of the three blood-eyed monkeys, and then continued to explore slowly into the distance.

Not long after Gu Xiaowu left, the two escaped blood-eyed monkeys rushed back again, followed by a huge demon monkey with a height of a few feet, and a pair of huge stone axes on their two front paws, with a hideous and vicious face. This demon monkey is no different from the blood-eyed monkey except for its huge size, but it has three tails, which looks very weird.

When the three-tailed blood-eyed monkeys saw that the spirit fruit had been looted, they immediately stared at the two little blood-eyed monkeys in front of them with a fierce look on their faces, and suddenly threw out a pair of stone axes in their hands. Although the two blood-eyed monkeys had already felt the danger and fled out when they were targeted, they were still cut in half by the stone axe after two screams the next moment. As soon as the three-tailed blood-eyed monkey raised his hand again, the pair of stone axes appeared in his hand again, raised his nose slightly and sniffed it, and chased in the direction where Gu Xiaowu left with a fierce look on his face.

Gu Xiaowu didn't go far, just by a small stream five miles away, collecting a handful of blood-red sand under the gravel on the bank. This sand soil is the unique resource of the Blood Sand Mountain Range, the blood coagulation essence soil, which has the effect of quickly restoring qi and blood, and is also an alchemy material that has an effect on monks above Cheng Dan, otherwise Tianyin Academy would not have established a stronghold in the Blood Sand Ridge here. He also found such a handful by coincidence, originally just curious about why a few first-order strange demon birds kept spinning around a boulder, and after he frightened the demon birds and scattered the boulder, he found the blood condensation essence at the bottom of it.

Just when Gu Xiaowu finished collecting the blood condensation essence soil and began to continue to explore the bottom of the boulders on both sides of the stream, he suddenly sensed something and suddenly urged the Crystal Star Heart Armor to open the shield, but before it could be stretched open for half a zhang, two huge forces acted on the shield and pushed Xiao Wu directly out three zhang away and rolled to the ground.

Xiao Wu felt that the blood in his body was boiling, and the huge force just now shifted his vibrating five organs a little, but fortunately, the huge force did not last long and weakened, and he also cleverly rolled into the distance to unload part of the power.

But before Gu Xiaowu turned around and confronted the guy who attacked him, a huge demon monkey figure appeared behind him, and a pair of huge stone axes appeared in his hand and went down in one round.

With a bang, the ground nearby was shaken, and a pit suddenly appeared on the ground where Gu Xiaowu and the demon monkey were located and cracked and spread in all directions, the sand and gravel on the ground and the stream not far from it were all stirred up by the violent force of the shock, and for a time everything within a radius of ten zhang was covered by the fog.
