Chapter 20 Provocative gambling
The next day, Long Xu stood upright on the periphery of the Black Wind Forest in a cloth robe, standing side by side with him was Duan Yu, the young master of the Heaven Splitting Sword Sect, today Duan Yu was dressed in a strong suit, his brutal muscles were full and prominent, and the big sword on his waist was cold and domineering, which was intimidating, and the other dozens of inner disciples around them were also full of lustre.
Today is the day when the disciples of the inner sect of the Heaven Splitting Sword Sect enter the Black Wind Forest to exercise, and everyone enters it in groups of two to exercise. When he came, the Sky Splitting Sword Gate had already arranged for two inner deacons to come to escort him, after all, these new forces were the hope of the Sky Splitting Sword Gate's future, and they couldn't be in a trance.
During this period, the two inner deacons repeatedly emphasized that if they encountered a strong enemy, they must retreat immediately, and if they couldn't get out, they sent signal flares to call for rescue. More than a dozen people were divided into six groups, among which Lei Ba and Fu Wu were also in the team.
"Let's go!" Duan Yu looked at the Black Wind Forest in front of him and said in a deep voice. "Hmm!" Long Xu replied simply, he was no stranger to the Black Wind Forest. The Black Wind Forest is divided into three areas, and there are a large number of low-level cultivators on the periphery, as long as they can enter the martial artist rank, there will be no danger here, and Long Xu and the others obviously meet this condition. If you want to enter the middle circle, you must reach the martial artist rank, and if you want to go deep into the inner circle, you must reach the military general rank above.
What makes Long Xu excited is that the crystal source obtained in this trial will belong to himself, although the peripheral is only a low-level crystal source, but it will still be a large amount of money to exchange it for spar outside, and in this spirit stone imprint can also help him absorb spiritual energy, and the benefits can naturally be imagined.
"Huh, isn't this the junior disciple of Long Xu who was selected by the inner disciples with his theft martial arts? How about it, the Sky Splitting Sword Technique is still easy to use, right?" Just as Long Xu was about to enter the Black Wind Forest, there was a sudden sound of abuse from behind, and it was Lei Ba and Fu Wu who heard the reputation, and the rest of the groups of disciples also followed him and looked at this side with a look of contempt. The disciples selected Long Xu to kill the two Fierce Instant Tigers and the Flame Tyrannosaurus with the power of one person, especially the Flame Tyrannosaurus, and the light on his body had already overshadowed Lei Ba and Fu Wu, which made the two of them dissatisfied, and this time they seized the opportunity to abuse Long Xu in front of everyone.
Hearing such a harsh tone, Long Xu was not angry, and actually showed a faint smile, and said: "Thank you two senior brothers, the Sky Splitting Sword Technique is very useful, and the junior brother simply can't put it down!" Seeing that Long Xu was not provoked, his words were as powerless as a punch in the air, and this feeling made Lei Ba angry. Seeing Lei Ba, he was about to be furious, Fu Wu hurriedly stood up, he knew that there were two inner deacons watching behind him, and it was inconvenient to do it here.
Immediately, Fu Wu pulled the topic in another direction: "It's good to use, if the junior brother is not enough, you can come to the senior brothers at any time, don't use those stealing methods." With the righteousness of all the brothers and sisters, they will definitely teach you. ”
"Yes, we'll teach you!" the rest of the men sneered and followed Fu Wu.
"Then thank you a few senior brothers!" Long Xu was also really angry, but several of them had backstage, so there was no need to fight with them, so he just responded coldly and turned around and walked inside.
Seeing that the other party was leaving, Fu Wu was not happy in his heart, and he was willing to let go of this opportunity, and then shouted loudly: "Senior Brother Long, you have to be careful, this beast cultivation is very powerful, junior brother, you are very good at cultivating, don't hurt your muscles and bones because of this exercise, if you can't do it, follow us, help us run back, and we won't slack off our junior brother!"
Long Xu waved his hand and said without looking back: "Thank you for your kindness, but Senior Brother, I have the confidence to return with a full load, but I have to work harder for Senior Brother, don't hunt as many cultivated beasts as Senior Brother, it will be a little dishonorable!"
Lei Ba and Fu Wu's faces sank, they didn't expect Long Xu to be so ashamed, this was simply challenging their majesty. Immediately, Lei Ba's tone was cold, and he said loudly: "Although Senior Brother Long Xu is so confident, why don't we make a bet?"
"Lei Ba, don't deceive people too much!" Duan Yu knew that Lei Ba and Fu Wu had always bullied Long Xu, but since they were blood relatives of his father's henchmen and disciples in the sect, they turned a blind eye, but at this time, it was too much to make a bet.
Although Lei Ba and Fu Wu were usually arrogant, they didn't dare to openly oppose Duan Yu, the young master of the Heaven Splitting Sword Gate, and found Duan Yu angry at this moment, so he could only say softly: "The young master has said yes, the junior brother just wants to put a little pressure on Senior Brother Long Xu, but since the young master has already said so, then forget it!"
"Wait...... "Bet, Long Xu couldn't like it more, and Lei Ba's words have been said here today, if you don't follow, it won't be Long Xu's style, "Tell me, what to bet on?" Seeing that Long Xu actually agreed verbally, Lei Ba was overjoyed in his heart: "This exercise is to hunt and cultivate beasts, then let's bet on who can hunt and cultivate beasts to get the most crystal sources, how about it?"
Under normal circumstances, only one crystal source can be produced on the body of a cultivated beast, and this crystal source is formed by the condensation of the innate impurities in the body during the cultivation process after the cultivation of the beast after absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but these innate impurities are nourished by the spiritual energy in the body of the cultivated beast, and also have various peculiar effects, such as medicinal use, array formation, and so on. Of course, through the money houses built or designated in the Mauryan Dynasty, the crystal source can be exchanged for the common currency of the Yuanyang world, that is, the spar, according to a certain percentage.
However, if it was a high-level cultivator, such as the Nine-Headed Tiger above the rank of the Martial Sect, their intelligence was already on par with the intelligence of an adult, and these high-level cultivators did not even have more than one crystal source on them. Of course, cultivators want to hunt down these high-level cultivators, but it is far from that easy, and even some cultivators with unique abilities or monstrous comprehensive abilities will take the initiative to sign a soul contract with the cultivator to become a cultivator's contract beast, willing to be driven by the cultivator for life. The contract beast of a high-priced cultivator in history is quite powerful, think about it, if the cultivator is willing to become a contract beast, it depends on whether the cultivator who signed the contract likes the strength of the cultivator, after all, not every cultivator has the strength to become a contract beast, it ultimately depends on the cultivator's own choice.
"Okay! Senior brother proposed, how dare the junior brother not accept the reason, after the workout, let's compare the number of crystal sources! Whoever has more wins!" Long Xu immediately agreed, and he was absolutely confident in his heart that he would win. Hearing this, Lei Ba's heart became even more happy, as if victory was already a certainty, and said: "It turns out that the junior brother has already accepted the gambling contract, so if the junior brother loses, from now on when he sees us, he will lie on the ground and learn to bark three times, how about it?"
Hearing the other party make such a bet, Long Xu's eyes tightened, and he said sharply: "Okay! But what if Senior Brother loses?"
"I lost?" Lei Ba was a little surprised, as if he had misheard the words, how could he lose in his heart. Even if Long Xu had Duan Yu's help, the difference between himself and Fu Wu and Duan Yu's cultivation was not very huge, and no matter how he got the crystal source, it would not be less than Long Xu. But this is a bet after all, and when Long Xu suddenly asked, Lei Ba took it as just a sentence, and it was over after saying it.
"If I lose, then all the crystal sources I get will be given to you, and when I see you in the future, I will learn to bark three times, how about it?" Long Xu heard this bet, and his heart was immediately overjoyed, wait, Lei Ba, I will definitely let you abide by Ruo Word!
Among them, Duan Yu wanted to stop him several times, but he was in the way that Long Xu had already agreed, and when he saw the completion of the oath at this moment, he was also anxious in his heart, shouting how could Long Xu be so sloppy. The rest of the inner disciples looked at Long Xu with a stupid look, but they were overjoyed in their hearts, they had already thought of their words, and in a few days, they would fall into the well and count Long Xu. Everyone had their own thoughts, and as the two inner deacons gave the order to "enter the forest", more than a dozen inner disciples of the Heaven Splitting Sword Sect walked towards the Black Wind Forest one after another.
"Long Xu, you are really too hasty. How can you make such a bet so easily? Even with my help now, I'm afraid your chances of winning are not very good. Along the way, Duan Yu's face was full of bitterness, and he shouted at Long Xu for being sloppy. After listening to Duan Yu's worries, Long Xu just smiled slightly and said, "Brother Duan, although this bet is difficult, I, Long Xu, am not someone who admits defeat casually. So I'm going to try to trample those who have bullied me under my feet one by one. ”
Looking at Long Xu's determined expression, Duan Yu suddenly felt that Long Xu in front of him seemed to have changed into a different person. He subconsciously felt that Duan Yu was not hasty this time, but foresighted, and looking at this situation, it seemed that there was really hope for victory. With this feeling, Duan Yu stopped talking, he knew that the bet had been set, and what he had to do now was to help Long Xu with all his might.
Under the rapid pace of Long Xu and Duan Yu, they soon entered the ten-mile land of the Black Wind Forest. It is densely wooded and shrouded in mist, and as far as the eye can see, it is no more than three meters at all. It's no wonder that these cultivators chose to settle here, it's really a good place to hide their bodies! Moreover, the vegetation here is vigorous, the vegetation covers the sky and the sun, and the aura is abundant, it is an excellent place for them! Long Xu took a deep breath and immediately felt refreshed.
Long Xu held the hilt of the sword in his hand, his divine sense was released, and the scenes within ten meters around him were all presented in his mind, directly making up for the defect of not being able to see three meters in the past. On the side, Duan Yu had already let go of his divine sense, his eyes raised and looked around cautiously, and the two of them looked at each other and continued to walk towards the depths of the Black Wind Forest.
