Unsurpassed Spirits

Chapter 243 Earthly Hidden Beast

In the world of cultivation, seniority is usually ranked according to the level of cultivation. Luo Qingli and Xue Ce are both apprentices of Yuanying monks. Xue Ce started the apprenticeship earlier than her, and his cultivation level has always been above hers before, so he calls him senior brother.

However, her realm has grown too fast in the past two years, and she has entered the late stage of foundation building, while Xue Ce is still at the peak of the middle stage. This speed is actually very fast compared with other monks, but there is someone faster than him.

Xue Ce admitted that he lost the bet he made with True Lord Fuji. In less than 20 years, Luo Qingli had overtaken him. He felt embarrassed to regard himself as a senior brother in front of her.

Luo Qingli smiled and said, "Whatever."

Anyway, she didn't care about the title.

Xue Ce paused for a moment, pointed to the door and said: "After exiting the gate of the medical center, turn right and walk to the end. You will see a stone lion at the door. That is the temporary residence of the monks in the city. If you pass by, someone will help you. Rooms are allocated, but everything in this city is now simple and not so particular."

"It's not like I was sleeping in the open without the wind before. How could I be so squeamish? It's good to have a roof over my head." Luo Qingli thanked him: "See you later."

Luo Qingli settled down in the city, and just as Xue Ce said, she was assigned to patrol nearby the next day.

After yesterday's battle, the beasts retreated. I don't know when they will come again. The environment in this area is quite special. There are many mountains and rocks, and there are many hiding places. There may be some monsters dormant in the dark, ready to come at any time. A wake-up call.

Master Heshuo explained: "Your mission is only to detect the reality. If a monster is discovered, there is no need to show mercy if it can be annihilated. If there is a huge difference in combat power, do not fight head-on. Send the message back immediately. We need to guard this The stronghold is stalling for time, and there is currently a shortage of manpower in the city, so everyone should prioritize protecting themselves."

After saying this, Master Heshuo called Luo Qingli and said alone: ​​"Junior sister Luo, can your spirit beast stay in the city?"

"Little five?"

Master Heshuo nodded, "Previously Master Haoying said that there were some unusual movements in the northwest. I will go there with him later to have a look. Master Mingwei is only in the early stage of Jindan. Another Master Rengui suffered some injuries before. Wan Something unexpected happened during this period... That spiritual beast is at the sixth level, which can at least supplement the city's strength to a certain extent."

But Xiao Wu is Luo Qingli's spiritual beast. If he follows her, even if he encounters a high-level monster outside, he can at least ensure her safety to a certain extent.

Master Heshuo still had to discuss this matter with her. If Luo Qingli was unwilling, he wouldn't be able to force it.

Xiao Wu, who was in the spirit beast bag, immediately raised objections when he heard this, "Master, I don't want to stay in the city, I still want to protect you!"

Luo Qingli thought for a while and then said through a message: "I just went out on patrol. Even if I really encounter danger, at least I still have the ability to protect myself. Now during the beast tide, the general trend is the most important, and this stronghold cannot be broken yet."

Xiao Wu lowered his head and could only compromise.

Luo Qingli added: "Xiao Wu, if there is any accident, you can help within your ability. If you can't, you must take care of yourself."

"understood……"

Xiao Wu Yanyan agreed, and Luo Qingli released it and took a few people out of the city.Xiao Wu didn't go anywhere, he simply lay down at the gate of the city.

There are about ten patrol teams, each with six to nine people. It can be said that almost half of the foundation building monks in the city have been sent out to patrol. Luo Qingli is now in the late stage of foundation building and has been temporarily appointed to the patrol team. The captain, Qin Ziyan, is also in the same group as her.

A group of seven people did not use flying magic weapons, but explored along the foothills.

Because they had just experienced the battle, some of the demonic aura left by the nearby demonic beasts had not dissipated. The mountains here were twisted and the demonic aura gathered spontaneously, which would affect their perception to a certain extent. Several times, everyone clearly noticed something. Strangely, in the end I found nothing.

After carefully patrolling the area he was responsible for, one person scratched his head and said, "Captain, I didn't find anything."

Another person next to him knocked on the back of his head, "It would be better if we didn't find it. If we encounter a monster, a fight is always inevitable. There are no beasts nearby. Isn't this a good thing for us?"

"It's a good thing, it's a good thing."

Luo Qingli let go of his consciousness again and scanned the area carefully. After confirming that there were no signs of monsters, he turned around and said, "Let's go back the same way now, but don't take it lightly, beware of accidents happening on the way."

"Yes!"

She was the only one in the patrol team who was in the late stage of foundation building, and the others naturally listened to Luo Qingli. However, just halfway through, she saw several signal flares fired from another direction. This flare was actually a distress signal, representing A patrol team discovered the monster, and their side was clearly outnumbered.

Several signal flares were fired in succession, which showed that the situation must not be good.

Their current location was not very far from that direction. Luo Qingli frowned and said, "Let's go there!"

The group of people had no objections and all used their flying magic weapons to support them.

There are not many monks left in this stronghold, so they should help each other.

However, when they got closer, everyone was startled.There are nearly a dozen monster beasts, large and small, in the valley. Seven or eight foundation-building monks are surrounded by these monster beasts. Everyone has scars and bloodstains on their bodies, but the surprise does not stop there. The leader of this group of monsters turned out to be a fifth-level centipede beast.

Just seeing the high-level monsters made some monks in the team want to quit.

Qin Ziyan noticed a man in black clothes among the monks surrounded by monsters, and said in surprise: "Qingli, it's Senior Brother Xue!"

Luo Qingli also saw that Xue Ce should be the leader of this team. He was very strong, but when encountering high-level monsters, he could only persist for a period of time without being able to fight back.

She calculated the number of monsters. Her team plus Xue Ce's team, excluding the fifth-level monster, basically shared one monster per person. Even if they couldn't defeat it, they would be in a stalemate for a while. It's still possible, and the rest can only wait for reinforcements.

Luo Qingli waved his hand and said, "Go and save people!"

"This, but...the fifth-level monster..." Seeing the underground beast, everyone still couldn't help but feel timid.

Luo Qingli's eyes were slightly cold, "Leave the fifth-level monster to me."

She couldn't help but say no in the current situation. She was the only one in the late stage of foundation building in the team, so naturally she could only deal with this high-level monster.

Luo Qingli drew out his sword and rushed forward. Seeing this, the others also rushed forward.

The underground beast opened its mouth wide and let out a strange and loud roar. Its appearance was somewhat similar to a spider, but it had many more legs. It had a single eye on its forehead. When its huge mouth opened, smelly mucus flowed out. It fell on the grass and corroded a large area instantly.

All in all, this thing looks quite "unique".

The underground beast spit out a mouthful of saliva at Xue Ce. It is a high-level monster with a developed spiritual intelligence. It naturally knows which kind of person is the most delicious. Xue Ce's cultivation level is higher than others, and his spiritual power is also very refined. Pure must be the best food, and he is also the first target of the underground beast.

Xue Ce's eyes darkened slightly. He majored in fire spells. If it were a monster nearby, he would still be able to fight it with difficulty. However, this hidden beast is of the earth attribute. Among the five elements, fire gives birth to earth. His spell hit it. It's like scratching an itch on my body, it has almost no effect.

Xue Ce formed a seal with his hands, condensing a large bright wall of light. The underground beast's saliva fell on the wall, and the light on it became increasingly dim.

But at this time, countless icicles fell from the sky, crackling and hitting the underground beasts, making a crisp sound like gold and jade hitting each other. These icicles exploded in a small area in the air, and suddenly surrounded those monsters. The circles are broken up.

"The reinforcements are here!"

The faces of the surrounded patrol team were all happy. The newly arrived monks each found their opponents. The surrounding monsters were destroyed by Luo Qingli. The pressure on everyone suddenly decreased, and ping-ping-pong sounds soon sounded in the valley. The sound of the Pong magic weapon colliding with spiritual power and exploding.

Xue Ce was slightly stunned. He had been forced to a desperate situation and finally waited for support, but the person who came surprised him.

Luo Qingli struck one of the underground beast's legs with his sword. The leg was as solid as a rock. Even with the blessing of the sword energy, it only left a shallow scratch on it.

She frowned slightly, tiptoed a little, and jumped back with the force of the recoil, her body as light as a swallow.

Xue Ce held a long bow in his hand, bent the bow and pulled the string, and a light arrow formed by gathering spiritual power quietly formed. The light arrow flew out, making a loud sound of breaking through the air, splitting into two parts in the air. Four, finally turned into hundreds of arrows, flying and falling one after another, covering the underground beast in the rain of arrows.

Although it cannot be seriously injured, it can more or less restrict its movements.

Xue Ce frowned, "Why are you here?"

"You should be glad I'm here."

He choked suddenly, and Luo Qingli said calmly: "Stop talking nonsense, I'm the main attack, you find a way to control it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the figure rushed forward again, and Xue Ce was stunned: "Hey!"

The surrounding monks and monsters were fighting together. Each of them had to deal with a monster, and they couldn't move their hands at all. This hidden beast had the highest cultivation level, so of course she could only control it.

Xue Ce gritted his teeth and fired another wave of arrows.

The underground beast was bathed in the rain of arrows. When the light arrows touched its body, it would explode immediately. The pure power contained in it left many tiny scars on its body. The underground beast stretched its neck and screamed. , looked at Xue Ce with one eye, and raised a few legs.

Luo Qingli's fingers flew, and several strands of imperial silk were shot out from his fingertips, wrapping around the legs and feet of the underground beast, wrapping them up.

The underground beast snorted and sneered, "Here comes another little girl, she seems to be more delicious than that kid..."
