Chapter 44: Greed and Forgetfulness

"Rubbish!" a look of contempt flashed on Gao Ruoxu's face, and he was about to step forward to collect Elder Yan's animal skin bag. Unexpectedly, the corpse that Elder Yan on the ground was smashed into a ball of flesh and mud instantly turned into a pool of blood, seeping into the soil along the stone cracks, and only a pile of tattered Confucian shirts was left on the ground.

This time it was Gao Ruo's turn to be stunned, and at the edge of the woods more than ten zhang away from him, Old Man Yan was actually standing there alive. However, Old Man Yan's condition was also quite embarrassing, not to mention being naked, the skin on his whole body seemed to have been swept over, and there was no whole skin in the blood.

Gao Ruohum was surprised in his heart, this old man was really hidden, he had worked with him in the Yin family for decades, and he didn't know that his roots were originally in Zhiyue Mountain. The cicada metamorphosis is one of the secret methods of the Moon Mountain, which to put it bluntly, can allow the monk to escape at the cost of losing a layer of skin when his life is in danger.

Of course, after the monk cicada metamorphoses, there will be a large loss in both essence blood and spiritual power, and the strength will inevitably be discounted. Gao Ruoxu understood this, so he naturally wouldn't give Elder Yan a chance to recover, and while he was quickly approaching on tiptoe, with a flick of his finger, another spirit rune shot towards Elder Yan.

The speed of this talisman was not as fast as the previous "Cutting Melon" talisman, but when it flew halfway, it turned into a rain of needles and headed towards Elder Yan's cover.

Elder Yan was sleek and didn't even have any clothes, so he could only rely on his mana to force this talisman. The exercises he practiced were mainly water and wood, and he did not particularly restrain the means of gold exercises.

Fortunately, Elder Yan still has a lot of experience in fighting with the monks, he first used his hand to wipe out a curtain of water in the air, and as soon as the golden needle entered the water curtain, the speed immediately slowed down a lot.

There is a principle of the five elements of life, called greed and forgetfulness, which is a habit of the five elements, to put it bluntly, a certain element of the five elements at the same time encounters the two elements of the five elements that it gives birth to and it overcomes, it will first give birth to that element, and then it will restrain the other element.

Take the example in front of you as an example, once you encounter an attack from the gold system, your first reaction is often to restrain yourself with fire-based exercises, but you don't know that water-based exercises can also play a good defensive role. Because gold can produce water, when the golden needle encounters a water curtain, the spiritual power contained in it itself will be weakened a lot because of the water.

Next, Elder Yan's body suddenly appeared dry and wrinkled, as if a layer of bark had grown, and although the golden needle hit it, it was unable to hurt his internal organs because the momentum was exhausted.

Gao Ruoxu even used two spirit runes in vain, although he was calm on the surface, his heart was in pain, so he threw it out twice, but he threw out his whole year's money!

What made him hate even more was that he had clearly hinted loudly just now that the brother of the Li family should come over, but he fought with Old Man Yan for a long time, and the brother didn't even see a shadow.

Elder Yan took the second spirit rune, and finally eased up some of his strength, but his animal skin bag was still at his feet, and the top priority was to grab the bag first. Seeing that Gao Ruoxu's side was powerless, he simply rushed to Gao Ruoxu's side with a "tree bark".

Gao Ruoxu pulled out the soft sword coiled around his waist, and with a flick of his wrist, he pulled out a sword flower in the air, and greeted Elder Yan flutteringly.

Elder Yan reused his plan, and his hands were waved again and again, releasing a large curtain of water and rushing towards the tall sword flower.

The sword flower passed through the two water curtains, and it had already weakened to the point that only a few faint phantoms remained, a fierce smile flashed on Gao Ruoxu's face, and the tip of the sword shook, and a glowing ghost fire stained Elder Yan's bark barrier.

As soon as that ghost fire was contaminated with the "bark" of the wood attribute, it immediately spread in all directions, and in an instant, Elder Yan's whole body was completely enveloped in this ghost fire. This ghost fire is a yin trick that Gao Ruoxu will not use easily, outsiders only know that he is the superior spiritual root of three gold and one water, but few people know that his other spiritual root is an attribute of yin fire.

Yang Fire can be used to issue a large fireball technique with strong burst damage, and Yin Fire is weak and slow, unless it is a surprise sneak attack like this, it is difficult to play a role in killing the enemy.

Elder Yan snorted miserably, and the wood attribute defense on his body was burned clean by the Yin Fire in just a few breaths, and in the blink of an eye, a blood blister was burned by the Yin Fire on his body. Gao Ruoxu also used the principle of the Five Elements of greed and forgetfulness, and the monks who were really good at fighting often started from the place of birth, rather than the frontal hard steel to restrain the opponent.

Gao Ruoxu succeeded in a sneak attack, hurriedly grabbed a few steps up, and the sword flower in his hand rose again, and was about to stir Elder Yan's head away, when a miserable cry came out of the woods next to Leng Buding, and a group of figures staggered out of the woods, and while running this way, he shouted for help: "Elder Gao, save me!"

Gao Ruoxu was startled, and he didn't care about cleaning up Elder Yan, so he hurriedly jumped to the side, and saw that it was a fat man who was missing an arm that rushed towards him. When I looked closely, I found that the man was not really fat, but his whole body was swollen and black, as if he had been blown up. What's even more terrifying is that although the right arm of the "fat man" was broken at the shoulder, the blood that dripped down the wound turned out to be black and green, and when it fell to the ground, a phosphorus fire ignited.

What kind of poison is this, so domineering? Gao Ruoxu could only guess from the contours of the "fat man's" face that this was one of the Li family brothers, but he really couldn't tell which one it was.

It's just that he can't be allowed to get close to him no matter what, Gao Ruoxu retreated, took out a bottle of antidote pill from his arms, and threw it over in a panic: "Brother Tai, please take the pill first, and you must not move with the poison in your body! I don't know which friend of the Li family you are? What kind of strange poison is it?"

The "fat man" grabbed the detoxification pill, bit off the bottle cap, opened his mouth and poured it all into his mouth, gasped for several breaths, and then calmed down a little, and smiled bitterly at Gao Ruoxu: "Daoyou can't recognize my appearance anymore, I am Li Yongbao, I was bitten by a demon beast in the forest, although I cut off my arm, I still couldn't stop the spread of poison." I also ask Daoyou to inform my two brothers as soon as possible, the demon beast in this forest is extremely dangerous, as fast as lightning, I didn't even see its appearance clearly before I fell into the way!"

Gao Ruoxu didn't wait for Li Yongbao to finish speaking, then he arched his hand at him and said: "Since this is so dangerous, I have to return to the head of the family immediately and ask the master of the family to decide! After speaking, without waiting for Li Yongbao to jump and scold his mother, he turned around and ran without hesitation.

Li Yongbao was stunned for a moment, and then scolded.

Gao Ruoxu's face did not change color, his heart did not beat, his big sleeves fluttered freely, and he flew away like an immortal in the rising sun. He was like a mirror in his heart, and he especially wanted to tell Lao Tzu to inform your two brothers? Lao Tzu is not tired of being alive, so since there is such a fierce beast hidden in the forest, the fool will shout and provoke it. As a monk, the most important thing is to act on the opportunity and save your life first!
