49. Marauder
Although the three of them did not have the strength to cross the Southern Wilderness for 3,000 miles with just one sword, the distance from the woods could still be described as seven steps of blood splashing.
It's just that in most cases, what they bully is a lone demon beast.
Most of these monsters are in the group, serving as a scout-type role, and they leave the group to find food or lead the way for the race. It's just that when this kind of lone demon beast encounters a cultivator, the end is usually quite tragic, especially the cultivators who are hunting in the secret realm of the beast tide at the moment, their purpose is very strong, and it is naturally impossible to let go of these lone demon beasts.
And when encountering groups of demon beasts, Lu Li and the others would avoid them from afar, because those were not what their current strength could handle.
However, if it was a small-scale group of first-order demon beasts, Lu Li and the others would not let it go. Although the quality of the blood demons that can be condensed by the essence blood of this kind of demon beast is much worse, the lack of quality is still made up for by quantity, but fortunately, Lu Li decided from the beginning to let Qi Junwen absorb all these blood demons, so in terms of cultivation progress, Lu Li's small team of three people still maintains a momentum of development.
Picking a random direction from the depths of the woods, Lu Li and the others began to hike for five days.
Along the way, the demon beasts that died at the hands of Lu Li and others are innumerable. Qi Junwen's evil aura was so thick that it made people's hearts palpitate, and it was far enough to deter some second-order demon beasts who were not strong, but this was a beautiful tonic for those third-order demon beasts that were powerful.
This made Lu Li have to lay down a small five-element array once again to cover up the almost crazy and palpitating evil aura on Qi Junwen's body. With Qi Junwen's current situation, he could only move forward after he had refined all these evil qi.
This kind of thing, among cultivators, can be regarded as a risky behavior. Because generally no cultivator will run around while condensing the evil qi, they will choose to incorporate the evil qi into themselves, and wait until it is completely stabilized before continuing to look for a target;
This is also because Lu Li has the Heavenly Small Five Elements Banner Command Array in his hand, and the three of them are ready to leave the forest, so they can carry out this kind of behavior without care.
And the reason why Lu Li knew this method of condensing evil qi was from Zi Yan. Because Zi Yan did this in the Southern Wilderness in the first place, otherwise, with such a large area of the Southern Wilderness, how could there be so many demon beasts for her to kill? Therefore, she must rely on this method to continuously attract demon beasts to come over by herself, which is also the reason why there are so many demon beasts constantly approaching her when she was in the 100,000 Great Mountain.
Lu Li's estimation of the abilities of the three of them is still relatively clear.
However, even if Lu Li arranged the Heavenly Small Five Elements Array, he and Su Yue were still protecting Qi Junwen, afraid that something would happen.
Su Yue glanced at Qi Junwen, and suddenly asked, "With such a rich blood, if he successfully absorbs it, he should be able to enter the Quenching Realm, right?"
"Yes. Lu Li's eyes flashed with a faint glint of essence, which was a sign that he had used the Qi Technique.
In his eyes, at this moment, Qi Junwen's body had an extremely rich and strong red mist constantly spitting, and there was some black gas in these fogs. He knew that this kind of black qi would only be born when the blood was thick to a certain extent, which proved that the quality of these blood demons that Qi Junwen was constantly condensing at the moment was very high, if he could continue to fight and convert all these blood demons into bloody demons, then the benefits to Qi Junwen would definitely not be low.
It's a pity that they don't have that time right now.
However, in order to reach the entire quenching realm, it takes a total of three times to quench such evil qi, so Qi Junwen still has a chance.
When the evil qi has condensed to a certain extent, it is necessary to quench the impurities in it to make it more refined.
As long as you successfully temper once and condense the blood evil, you can be regarded as successfully entering the quenching realm, and this realm is also known as the first evil realm. And the cultivator needs to temper three times, that is, after reaching the Three Evil Realms, he can start to try to impact the Refining Gang Realm, once these three layers of condensed evil qi successfully accept the baptism of the Gang Wind and completely fuse together, then this means that the cultivator has officially reached the point of refining the Gang Realm.
Next, he returned to the old path of cultivators, and through the accumulation of true yuan amounts, when he reached a new critical point, he could begin to impact the Jindan realm.
If he succeeds, he will be considered famous in the monastic world.
At this moment, Qi Junwen has reached such a critical step. Therefore, Su Yue and Lu Li will protect Qi Junwen, if it is successful, Qi Junwen's combat effectiveness in the future can start to initially use some special means, but the specific means to be used still depends on Qi Junwen's own ideas.
It's just that the heavens seem to be a little difficult to get along with Lu Li, and the more he worries about something, the more he wants to come.
Outside the sphere of influence of the Mitian Small Five Elements Array, there were eight cultivators who were watching suspiciously, obviously having discovered some clues to this place.
Lu Li and Su Yue had also discovered this group of uninvited guests at this moment, and they naturally maintained a vigilant attitude towards these eight people who did not choose to leave but stopped and watched.
"Dare to ask who is in the formation?" Suddenly, a cultivator asked towards Lu Li and the others in the Heavenly Five Elements Array.
His voice was strong and powerful, but his tone and attitude were not very friendly.
Hearing the other party's words, Lu Li's brows furrowed slightly, and he didn't have a good impression of these eight people.
In this secret realm, cultivators are not very friendly to each other, so usually in order to avoid some unnecessary troubles and accidents, cultivators will keep enough distance to avoid getting too close. Normally, if they found any formation that hid their body shape and aura, most of the other cultivators would choose to avoid it, but at this moment, these eight people had already seen that there was a formation running in the area in front of them, but they still spoke up, which was by no means a friendly act.
Lu Li and Su Yue exchanged glances with each other, and then Lu Li motioned for Su Yue to respond, which made Su Yue feel quite embarrassed.
She didn't have any opinions, and she usually didn't ask about other things at all except for cultivation, so she naturally didn't know how to deal with others. At this moment, Lu Li asked Su Yue to speak, didn't he mean to embarrass her, so Su Yue panicked all of a sudden, but he couldn't say a word, and he didn't know how to open his mouth after opening his mouth a few times.
"Dare to ask who is in the array?"
It seemed that no one had answered his question, and the cultivator was already a little impatient, and his voice spoke again with a hint of anger: "It seems that it should be an unpresided formation...... This may be some kind of high-level feathering place, we might as well break into it, maybe we can get some immortal fate. ”
"Brother Zhu's words are reasonable, so let's break through. ”
Hearing the voices of these people, it was clear that they wanted to break the formation, which made Lu Li understand more clearly that these people had bad intentions at all. Even if any cultivators in the Beast Tide Secret Realm fell, they would have long since become the belly of the demon beasts, how could there be any formations left, you must know that in the outbreak of the beast tide, no matter how powerful the magic array was, it would not be able to stop these crazy demon beasts and spirit beasts.
At this moment, the other party wanted to break the formation, and Lu Li had already guessed one or two.
He had long known that there would be so many people in the secret realm who specialized in robbing and killing other cultivators, but he didn't expect that his luck would be so "good", so he bumped into it. Such a person was much more hateful than the five cultivators Lu Li had met before, because the middle-aged man with an arrogant expression before would also talk about some rules, because they themselves were people with a certain background, and these rules were equally useful to them.
Therefore, when encountering such a cultivator, in most cases, you can still have a life, unless you really have a mortal enemy.
But raiders like these eight are completely different.
They didn't care about all the rules at all when they robbed and killed other cultivators, because most of these people were from casual cultivation backgrounds, as long as they could survive, they would be fine. There are no words to speak of with such raiders, and all words are in vain - they may appear to be close enough to you, but when they know that you have enough to make them happy, they will not hesitate to strike.
And once you make a move, you will not die, and you will not leave any living mouth at all.
However, they didn't dare to shoot at will, after all, if they wanted to rob others but found that their own strength was not as good as that of the other party, and they were killed instead, it would be a big loss.
At this moment, Lu Li hadn't figured out why the other party was eyeing him, and he didn't feel that he and the others had anything worthy of the hearts of these raiders, but since the other party had already made his words clear, then Lu Li naturally wouldn't have any scruples. He knew very well that the other party dared to make such an unscrupulous move, just because he felt that their strength was enough to deal with it, after all, the demon beasts active here were all first- and second-order, and cultivators with high strength would definitely not mix here.
Moreover, Lu Li happened to feel that his cultivation progress had reached a bottleneck during this time, and he needed to verify some of his ideas through fighting with other cultivators.
"Just two scattered cultivators of the One Evil Realm and six Scattered God Realms, they also dare to speak wildly, since you are looking for death, then you can't complain about me. ”
Lu Li's cold voice full of killing intent came out from the small five elements array.
