Chapter Forty-Six: The Sorrowful Xiong Zun
Bailing Valley is the place where the demon beasts in the Yunjia Mountain area are most concentrated.
Due to the intention of the major sects to breed in captivity, coupled with the continuous reproduction of demon beasts on their own, Bailing Valley has gradually developed into a place for major sects to test and hunt spirit beasts.
At this time, in the Bailing Valley, a young man in a green robe looked thoughtfully at the empty place in front of him, it was Zhang Qiang, who had come here after practicing the method of controlling beasts.
"No wonder it's called Bailing Valley, the demon beasts here are full of spirituality, and they are obviously smarter than the demon beasts in the Black Dragon Sect's demon beast forest. ”
Zhang Qiang's divine sense reached into the small stick, looked at the two bean-sized clusters of light, and nodded with satisfaction.
The higher the spirituality of the demon beast, the happier he was, because the ability of Xiao Yan Stick to absorb it was directly related to the spiritual intelligence of the demon beast.
"It's a pity that there are too few demon beasts here!" Zhang Qiang sighed, I don't know if Lu Dao was too unlucky, he went deep into the land of thirty miles, and only encountered two second-level demon beasts.
According to the records of the Law of Imperial Beasts, the demon beast that can be subdued and become a spirit beast must have purple intentions in its eyes and be extremely spiritual.
And the two demon beasts he encountered obviously didn't meet the conditions, so he could only hunt them and let Xiao Yan stick absorb the beast soul.
The demon beasts in Bailing Valley also have a strong sense of territory, and according to the different levels of demon beasts, they are distributed in the periphery and core area of Bailing Valley.
Thirty miles deep into the land is the dividing line between second-level demon beasts and third-level demon beasts.
According to the comparison of the strength of Qi Practitioners and Demon Beasts, the strength of second-level demon beasts is slightly weaker than that of the seventh-level cultivation of Qi training, and the strength of third-level demon beasts is usually between the eighth and ninth layers of Qi training.
In other words, if you don't have the eighth-level cultivation of Qi cultivation, it's best not to fight the idea of a third-level demon beast. Otherwise, there is a high chance that you will die a miserable death.
Zhang Qiang is very confident in his own strength, believing that even if he encounters a third-level demon beast, he can maneuver around, but if he encounters a top-level existence among the third-level demon beasts, he can only flee for his life.
There was nothing to gain along the way, Zhang Qiang was neither willing to go back empty-handed like this, nor did he dare to go deep into the core area at will, after all, no one would joke with his life.
Just as he was hesitating, Zhang Qiang's ears moved, and he heard a sound from the woods in front of him, and immediately leaned over to listen to the movement from the ground without hesitation.
After a moment, Zhang Qiang stood up and looked ahead with a strange expression.
Judging from his experience, there were at least seven or eight cultivators in front of him hurrying forward, as if they were chasing something.
"Could it be that they are chasing a third-level demon beast? No, these people are all extraordinary, there is no need for so many people to chase a demon beast!" Zhang Qiang shook his head, feeling that such an idea could not be justified.
Hearing the sound getting closer and closer, Zhang Qiang raised his eyebrows and disappeared behind a big tree.
After a few breathing exercises, the woods in front of him shook rapidly, and then a figure appeared.
"Huh, it's just a bear, it looks like it has just broken through to a third-level demon beast! To deal with such a third-level demon beast, does it take a team of people to act at the same time?" Zhang Qiang felt that this matter was so strange, so he quietly looked at it.
I saw the bear shadow flash out, and after a slight pause, he fled straight to the direction where Zhang Qiang was hiding.
The bear was no more than half a man tall, short and stocky. At this time, its skin was open, blood was still flowing in many places, and the hair on its body was charred black, as if it had been attacked by flame-type spells.
After Zhang Qiang saw the bear's appearance clearly, his expression froze, revealing an extremely strange expression.
"Could it be Xiong Zun?" Zhang Qiang then looked at Xiong's ears.
I saw that the pair of ears were long and pointy, but they looked at the fox's ears a little.
Seeing the bear come to his hiding place, Zhang Qiang frowned.
This bear looks very similar to Xiong Zun, who taught him the method of mysterious conjoinment, and if it is really Xiong Zun, he must not stand idly by.
After all, his own cultivation is supernatural, and most of them rely on the method of refining the body and the method of small sticks.
Even if the other party taught his own exercises in exchange for spirit stones and blood orchids, this also had the grace of teaching, and Zhang Qiang was grateful in his heart.
It can be said that if there was no Xiong Zun's guidance, there would be no Zhang Qiang today.
The bear fled a little panicked, just glanced at Zhang Qiang's hidden position, first showed surprise, and then said in ecstasy: "Zhang Qiang, it turned out to be you, now you are saved!"
"Are you really Xiong Zun?What evidence do you have?" Although this Xiong's appearance is very similar to Xiong Zun's figure, when he faced Xiong Zun, he felt the other party's unfathomable realm, even if it was a phantom, it was not something that ordinary qi practitioners could hurt.
"Nonsense! It's not who I am? I taught you the method of refining the body and the Xiaoyan stick method, so it's your master!" Xiong Zun complained, his feet were not slow, and he quickly came to Zhang Qiang, and said: "Although my strength has been greatly damaged, your stealth method still can't hide from my eyes!"
Zhang Qiang greeted him, sensing the several strong auras chasing in front of him, and felt that it was tricky.
"How could it be injured like this? With the strength of the seniors, it shouldn't be!" Zhang Qiang felt a little incredulous, and at the same time quickly thought about how to deal with it in his heart.
"It's all bad luck! The deity finally found a matching demon beast body, and after fusing it, he happened to catch up with the advanced third-level demon beast. What I didn't expect was that this bear had already been remembered, and the body fit of the deity had not yet been completed, and there was no means to use it, otherwise how could it be so embarrassing? Oops, they are here!" Xiong Zun glanced left and right, trying to find a hiding place.
But there are only a few scattered trees here, almost at a glance, where is there a place to hide?
Frowning and looking at Zhang Qiang's wrist, Xiong Zun first hesitated, and then sighed: "It's hard to come out, this is going in again! It's all because your strength is improving too slowly, otherwise, with the exercises I teach you, you can send these people away casually!"
The woods behind him shook, obviously those people had followed, Xiong Zun's figure turned into a blue light, and in a flash, he came to Zhang Qiang's wrist, and then disappeared into the jade chain.
Zhang Qiang raised his arm and glanced at the jade chain that was all green and green, revealing an expression of all thoughts.
Sensing that there were several strangers in front of him, Zhang Qiang shook his sleeves and quietly covered the jade chain on his wrist.
"Hey, call you!" a tall qi practitioner pointed at Zhang Qiang and shouted, "Have you seen a bear demon escaping from here?"
Zhang Qiang casually pointed in the direction and said, "I only saw a trace of afterimage going over there, but I didn't see the appearance of the body clearly, as for whether it is a bear demon, I don't know if it's a demon!"
After the appearance of the tall Qi Practitioner, seven more Qi Practitioners appeared one after another.
These people are really extraordinary, among them, the lowest cultivation also has the eighth layer of qi training, and it is obviously not the first to enter the eighth layer of qi training, but the cultivation is already very stable, and the real qi cultivation is eighty percent of the cultivator.
The tall young man frowned and said, "I only saw the afterimage? I didn't even see if it was a bear demon? This is impossible!"
As he spoke, he looked inquiringly at a handsome young man in a purple shirt beside him.
The young man in the purple shirt was handsome, his eyes were bright and bright, and the aura emitted from his body was full of nine different colors.
Cultivating Qi Great Perfection, this is a genius who is already qualified to attack the foundation building monks, and he is obviously the leader of these people.
The purple-shirted young man glanced at Zhang Qiang, his eyes were full of undisguised disdain, and said: "It's not strange, this person only has a seventh-level cultivation of Qi cultivation, and he is already lucky not to be killed by that bear demon!"
The tall young man showed an expression that was the same, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Fei is right, why am I so confused, I actually expect a kid who has practiced qi at the seventh level to see the appearance of that fox bear clearly!" and said to Zhang Qiang instead: "Boy, there are third-level demon beasts here, it's not a place for you to come, go home early and eat milk, haluha!"
Listening to his disrespectful words, Zhang Qiang frowned, glanced at everyone, and finally resisted the urge to make a move and left silently.
A few people around the tall young man laughed for a moment, but they didn't embarrass him and continued to chase forward.
After the tea effort, Zhang Qiang hid on the top of a giant tree, constricting the breath on his body to the limit.
Below the giant tree, the faces of the eight high-level qi cultivators were very ugly.
These eight people were the ones who went to chase Xiong Zun before, and the purple-shirted young man stood in the middle of the crowd with a frown, and said in a deep voice: "We were too careless, and we were actually tricked by that kid." That fox bear was seriously injured by us, and his speed was greatly reduced, even if he was a low-level qi practitioner, he should be able to see it clearly, that kid must have lied!"
Several other people echoed one after another, eager to find Zhang Qiang immediately and peel the skin.
Zhang Qiang's heart moved, and he secretly rejoiced, fortunately he left one more thought and changed his route slightly, otherwise, it was really possible to be caught up by them. However, Zhang Qiang was also secretly shocked that this person could discover the loopholes in his words so quickly.
"Let's go back and investigate, and find out the kid's identity first. We didn't see the fox bear before, most likely that kid had a spirit beast bag on his body, as long as we found him, we would take his spirit beast bag over! I dare to fool me Fei Yuyao, we must not spare him!" the purple-shirted young man commanded in a fierce voice.
Zhang Qiang's heart sank, although it was far away, it clearly sensed the evil aura on the face of the purple-shirted young man.
He fully believed that if he appeared in front of the other party at this time, the other party would be eager to tear himself to pieces.
It's no wonder that for a second-level qi practitioner, the second-level demon beast seems a bit chicken, and the third-level demon beast is the best choice for the spirit beast.
Because the spiritual sense of a qi practitioner is limited, subduing too many spirit beasts is easy to cause backlash, so ordinary qi practitioners will only subdue them when they encounter the most suitable spirit beast for themselves.
According to Xiong Zun's words, this purple-shirted young man has long been eyeing Xiong Zun, and the fox bear possessed by Xiong Zun must be a spirit beast that is very suitable for him.
"It seems that you should be careful after returning to the sect, these people are all extraordinary, and they must be able to find out about me soon. Zhang Qiang thought to himself.
"You don't have to worry too much, just give me three days and completely control this body, and then these people won't be able to help me!" Xiong Zun's voice sounded in Zhang Qiang's mind, and he said: "Don't return to the sect first, just stay in this Outer Spirit Valley for two days! These people are now anxious to find you, and they will definitely go to the Tianluo Sect to investigate, if you go back now, there is a great possibility of being bumped into." ”
Seeing the purple-shirted young man leaving in a hurry with everyone, Zhang Qiang said: "I just need to hunt some beast souls, Xiong Zun senior, you can recover well in the jade chain first!"
Zhang Qiang wanted to ask about the origin of the magical jade chain in his hand, but he felt that it was not the right time to look at it in front of him, so he could only reluctantly put this matter in his heart and ask later.
"Hunting beast souls, boy, you can't have stimulated Xiao Yan's soul refining ability, right?" Xiong Zun asked in surprise.
Zhang Qiang felt that there was no need to hide this matter from Xiong Zun, so he admitted: "That's true, as long as the power of the beast soul in Xiao Yan's stick is full, my cultivation speed will be much faster." So I will stay in Bailing Valley for two days, hunting demon beasts with all my strength and replenishing the beast soul. ”
"It seems that your kid's fate is really good, and he can actually stimulate this ability of Xiao Yan Stick! But don't be in a hurry to hunt demon beasts first, seal my soul into Xiao Yan Stick first. Although Xiao Yan Stick has the power to refine souls, if it is used properly, there are only benefits and no harm!" As he spoke, Xiong Zun carefully explained the method of soul sealing.
Zhang Qiang fully comprehended the kung fu of a meal before he cast the sealing method and successfully sealed Xiong Zun's soul in the small stick.
"Boy, hunt more beast souls, so that I can also take advantage of them!" Xiong Zun seemed to be very satisfied with Zhang Qiang's approach, but suddenly exclaimed like a snake and scorpion: "Ah! What is this? How can there be a trace of magic here?!"
