Chapter 27 The Insidious Shadowless Earth Spirit Needle
Chapter 27 The Insidious Shadowless Earth Spirit Needle
"If the giant serpent demon beast is defeated, then the Xuan Shui catfish in the Black Water Pool will definitely be captured by this demonic cultivator, and I'm afraid I won't be able to keep this opportunity."
"After all, it cost one point of the family's luck, so we should still try to get it if we can."
"If we can't defeat this demonic cultivator head-on, then let's try a sneak attack. Besides, this demonic cultivator has been fighting the giant snake beast for so long, so even if he hasn't used up all the talismans in his storage bag, he probably doesn't have many left. If we find the right opportunity, we'll definitely have a chance."
Su Qingyan pondered this in his heart, and decided to give it a try for the sake of the Xuan Shui Catfish.
Because the giant serpent beast kept roaring loudly in their direction, calling for help, Su Qingyan and Little Grey didn't dare to stick their heads out to observe the situation on the battlefield. They could only listen with their ears and glance at it occasionally.
Although the demonic cultivator in the midst of battle was puzzled, he dared not be distracted for too long.
After glancing at the large rock two or three times and finding nothing unusual, he concluded that the giant snake monster was bluffing him.
It was just a futile struggle before death.
Under the demonic cultivator's command, the blood leeches swarmed forward, completely enveloping the giant serpent's head. No matter how frantically the serpent shook its head, it was to no avail.
Immediately afterwards, some of the blood leeches began to look for an opportunity to attack. With a twist, they burrowed into the body of the giant serpent monster through its nostrils and mouth. The other blood leeches followed suit and burrowed in as well.
"My little darlings, save some of the blood from this giant serpent beast for me. I need to use its blood to refine the 'Demon Blood Essence' for you."
"Eat its brain first, then gnaw on its marrow, and kill it quickly." After seeing all the blood leeches burrow into the giant serpent beast's body, the demonic cultivator raised his voice to give instructions.
The giant serpent monster struggled more and more fiercely, but slowly, its roars began to weaken.
At the same time, Su Qingyan, who was hiding behind a large rock, noticed this situation.
"The opportunity is almost here. All the demonic insects controlled by this demonic cultivator have entered the body of the giant serpent beast, making it difficult to get them out to deal with us. We've lost a major means of attack."
"Moreover, he used so many methods on the giant serpent beast, so his spiritual power is probably not much left. Judging from the bloodstains that keep appearing at the corners of his mouth, he must have suffered internal injuries."
"Although this cunning fellow licks everything very clean each time, the sheer number of times he licks it still made me notice this detail."
"The demonic cultivator is about to kill the giant serpent beast and achieve victory. Now is the time when he is most relaxed. If we succeed in our sneak attack, the probability of killing him in one fell swoop is very high."
"We've got to give it our all, Little Grey."
"We'll prepare two plans later. First, you'll ambush him from behind and above. If you can kill him in one hit, that would be best."
"If it doesn't work, Little Grey, retreat towards me. I'll set up Shadowless Earth Needles along this route and take advantage of him when he catches up."
"Go on, Little Grey." Su Qingyan whispered instructions into Little Grey's ear.
After hearing the instructions, Little Grey nodded, walked a distance into the forest, and then quietly flew into the sky. After circling, it swooped down at an extremely fast speed, folded its wings, and transformed into a gray-blue lightning bolt, killing its way through the demon cultivator's blind spot.
Little Grey controlled its instincts and did not let out a loud cry.
However, when he got about three zhang away from the demonic cultivator's back, the wind generated by his rapid dive and the sound of his wings cutting through the air made him aware of it.
Looking back, he saw two sharp eagle claws about to land on the top of his head. He was so frightened that his face turned pale instantly and his eyes widened.
"go!"
In desperation, the demonic cultivator had no choice but to summon the blood-coagulation bottle again to shield himself from the first and most intense wave of attacks.
"clang!"
Sparks fly!
Little Grey's two sharp claws dug fiercely into the blood clotting bottle.
Its speed slowed down, but it did not stop, and it still landed on the demonic cultivator.
Unfortunately, this attack did not directly shatter the demonic cultivator's head, but only left two deep, bone-revealing wounds on his chest, dripping with blood.
"ah--"
The demonic cultivator staggered and cried out in pain.
He never expected that at this moment when victory was about to be achieved, another monster was hiding, hoping to reap the benefits.
"It turns out that the giant serpent monster wasn't bluffing me; there really was something hidden on the other side."
"Unfortunately, I managed to block that deadly sneak attack."
"Now, you two demonic beasts will become stepping stones on my path to immortality. I will skin you, pull out your tendons, and bleed you to refine you into 'Demon Blood Lure'," the demonic cultivator thought viciously to himself.
He immediately shouted, "Where did this hairy beast come from?!"
"Since you're so eager to die, then I, this Daoist, will grant your wish!"
"Take this attack from my Blood Clotting Bottle first. I want to see how you'll fly into the sky if your blood and spiritual energy can't circulate!"
After speaking, the demonic cultivator opened his mouth slightly and quickly recited the incantation.
The next second, the blood clotting bottle that Little Grey had just slapped to the ground flew up and spun around a few times before quickly coming to rest in mid-air in front of the demon cultivator.
The bottle was tilted slightly, and a beam of blood-red light shot out from it, heading straight for Little Grey.
Little Grey didn't panic at all. Out of the corner of its eye, it had already seen Su Qingyan throw out the Shadowless Earth Spirit Needles and hide them all in the ground.
Eleven, not one missing.
"Chirp—"
Little Grey let out a long cry, controlled its body to circle in the low air, and then turned its head to fly towards the big rock where Su Qingyan was.
At low altitude, the blood-red beam of light successfully hit Little Grey's body.
With the example of the giant serpent beast in mind, Little Grey instinctively began to sense the changes within its body. It could clearly feel that the blood flow in its body was slowing down, making flying less smooth and giving it a slightly unsteady feeling.
At first, the impact wasn't that big; I could still move around normally without any problems.
But this wouldn't attract the demonic cultivator.
So Little Grey had a brilliant idea and deliberately created an opening.
Pretending that the flow of blood and spiritual energy in his body was severely obstructed, he fell from the sky and landed on the other side of the large rock where Su Qingyan was hiding.
That is, the side directly facing the demonic cultivator.
"How come the blood clotting potion's attack works so quickly?"
"Could it be that this eagle-like demon beast already had injuries that hadn't healed?"
"Or is it a trap?"
"Will they suddenly attack me when I get there?" The demonic cultivator's eyes darted around as he quickly considered the possibility of this happening.
He was also quite sleazy and didn't dare to approach Little Grey.
Instead, they kept a considerable distance, intending to take the opportunity to unleash a few more attack spells on Little Grey.
However, Su Qingyan, who was behind the big rock, had already laid an ambush. The demonic cultivator had only walked a short distance when he felt a pain in the sole of his foot.
It was very slight, but noticeable.
A few seconds later, the demonic cultivator felt many small things burrow into his body, moving rapidly along the direction of the spiritual energy flow from the meridians in his legs, constantly damaging the meridians they passed.
Within a few breaths, the demonic cultivator discovered that his spiritual energy was waning, experiencing firsthand the power of the giant serpent beast. His eyes widened, and he pointed at Little Grey, exclaiming, "You...you, a beast, actually ambushed me?"
"I refuse to accept this!"
"You, a mere demon beast, are actually... are even more powerful than me, a demonic cultivator—"
"And even more insidious!"
