Xue Tong danced the goose wings and made the following poisonous bees fly around like raindrops.
With his sharp eyesight and quick hands, he quickly took two steps forward and stabbed the hemp iron crab quickly and steadily. With a soft sound, he pierced the last poisonous bee and hung it on the tip of the crab.
A swarm of poisonous bees died in the blink of an eye.
"The hive shouldn't be far from here."
A swarm of poisonous bees usually has as many as ten thousand. Because the poisonous bees are so large, the hive cannot be hung on high trees, so it is often built in the cracks of the cliff.
Xue Tong observed the rock walls on both sides of the valley. There was a crack in the cliff in front. Thousands of black poisonous bees crawled all over the entrance, busy coming in and out, making rustling and buzzing sounds.
Xue Tongxing used the Soaring Cloud Technique, and a gray cloud lifted him up.
He has been practicing the Soaring Cloud Technique for some time. The Soaring Cloud Technique cannot control the clouds and fly, it can only move straight up and down, and move horizontally a few feet away.
He rose not far from the entrance of the hive. The bees were frightened and flew up in a swarm, showing off their poisonous stingers.
Xue Tong's mana surged out, and the white cold air mixed with ice shards quickly sealed the front. He flicked his long sleeve and swept away more than a hundred poisonous bees that had slipped through the net and attacked without a trace.
Ice and snow immediately poured into the hive exit, and a swarm of poisonous bees was sealed inside the hive. Xue Tong was not in a hurry to destroy the hive, but flew to the top of the cliff to wait.
The estimated time has come. Xue Tong used an iron hammer to dig out the cracks and remove the ice. Nearly ten thousand poisonous bees had already frozen to death. Finally, he dug out dozens of kilograms of frozen honey jelly at the bottom of the nest.
"The honey jelly is not enough, we need to find another swarm of poisonous bees."
He walked deeper and deeper into the valley, approaching noon, and finally found a new nest of poisonous bees on the cliff.
Xue Tong repeated his old tricks, freezing the hive with the ice sealing technique and cleaning up the scattered poisonous bees. Everything seemed to be going smoothly. Just as he was waiting on the top of the cliff with great satisfaction, a strange commotion seemed to come from deep in the hive. .
The ice sealing the crack suddenly cracked open, and a yellow and black venomous wasp head emerged!
"Ouch, there's a big guy!" Xue Tong felt the fluctuation of mana. The queen bee of this hive of poisonous bees has evolved into a middle-level demon bee among warriors!
In the Yunxiao Sect's jurisdiction, after thousands of years of hunting and hunting, there are very few monsters, and most of the new monsters that emerge are at the martial arts level.
The queen bee is nearly three feet long, with eyes as big as bells, a black body with several golden stripes, the furry tentacles on the top of its head trembling slightly, its serrated jaws opening and closing, and its seven-inch-long black tail spines flashing with cold light.
The terrifying and disgusting appearance of the demon bee made Xue Tong's scalp numb. Fortunately, its pressure was not strong and it did not make him feel oppressed.
The demon bee pounced straight at it, ten times faster than an ordinary poisonous bee. Xue Tong swung his iron sword and swatted at it.
"Tianluo Gaiding" is the second killing move of the Nine Kills. The sharp edges of the iron sword are woven into a large net. Under the cover of the pocket, it covers a radius of one foot.
The demon bee fluttered its wings and flapped rapidly. The seemingly thin bee wings struck the tip of the turtle, and it made a sound of metal and iron. The demon bee flew out diagonally, and the powerful force of the sky was pressed against its head. It hit the gravel ground with a rumble.
Yaofeng's tail was thrown over, and Han Mangmang's poisonous needle struck hard.
Xue Tong swayed and disappeared. He circled to the side of the demon bee, wrapped his fist in light white smoke and struck out with lightning. The Bai Lie fist penetrated the demon bee's body-protecting evil spirit and hit its flank.
Two of the demon wasp's hind legs were broken on the spot, a bleeding hole was made in its abdomen, and it fell heavily and flew out.
The demon bee curled up and spun around in circles, its poisonous needles stabbing wildly and aimlessly. Xue Tong picked up the iron pole, and with a flash of blue light, nailed the demon bee to the ground.
A faint black ball of light floated out from the head of the demon bee. In the mid-term, if no common poisonous bees of the same type can be found within half a stick of incense, it will be completely destroyed.
What was originally an ordinary incident suddenly changed dramatically in an instant.
Xue Tong's head suddenly hurt, and the gray dots in the sea of consciousness expanded rapidly, flew out of the sky, swallowed the ball of light in one gulp, and then came back again.
Xue Tong staggered, covered his head and fell down.
The gray spots kept shaking, and after a while they calmed down, radiating a hint of coolness outwards.
Xue Tong was filled with shock and doubt, and Hui Dian returned the favor, causing his mental power level to instantly break through the limit of a master of spiritual nourishment.
"Absorb the soul to strengthen yourself? Will it suck my soul away one day?"
…
Zongmen Mission Office.
Wei Ziqing and Xue Tong submitted their war profits, one hundred and twenty kilograms of honey jelly, thirty kilograms of demon bee honey, demon bee body and poisonous needles. They received a total of seven contribution points from the sect and three hundred spiritual stones.
Xue Tong received three points and fifty spiritual stones.
Wei Ziqing was overjoyed and patted Xue Tong on the shoulder, "It's a pleasure to work with my junior brother. I will definitely come to you if I have another chance."
Xue Tong's victory in the first battle was an unexpected surprise, and he was out of control. He had no bottom line inside and outside the mission office and asked for suitable tasks. He would do it if he was given a slight advantage and never bargained.
Although he was somewhat begging, he only received three calls in two months, earning five contribution points and a hundred spiritual stones for his hard-earned money.
Fortunately, his skills in drawing talismans are improving day by day. The Tengyun Talisman and Transmission Talisman sold on consignment at "Cangliu Talisman Square" can bring in fifty or sixty spiritual stones every month.
He remembered seeing the demon rat in Xishan Jade Palace, and with this rat's mid-level level, he would definitely be able to kill it.
Xue Tong chose a dark and windy night to come to the valley in his memory and searched repeatedly.
He only had to gaze, and his pupils would emit a very faint golden light, allowing him to see the scenery in the dark night clearly.
However, nothing happened overnight, and Xue Tong did not find any clues.
"Did Guan Shu be frightened by the aura of my bloodline and escape from the jade field that day?"
…
The atmosphere in Yunxiao Sect became more and more lively day by day, and there was an aura of restlessness throughout the sect. The triennial martial arts competition was getting closer and closer.
There is no promotion for inner disciples. True disciples are promoted directly after being agreed upon by the sect's senior leaders. Xue Tong has never heard of the existence of true disciples.
Two tall arenas, twenty feet long and fifteen feet wide, were erected on the hillside of Chijin Peak for servants and outer disciples to compete for the top ten.
On the opening day, hundreds of servant disciples crowded in. This was the only day in three years that Chijin Peak was open to all servants.
In the stands directly north of the arena, the sect's senior officials were lined up in a dense row. Lei Xiao, the leader of the martial arts hall, Duan Lingchuan, the leader of the law enforcement hall, three elders, two guardians, and even the deputy sect leader Guan Jingcheng were all present to support the battle.
“These senior executives are all high-spirited, and their actions give people a sense of stability and solidity.”
Xue Tong didn't sign up for the martial arts competition. It didn't concern him, so his eyes wandered around the field.
There are more than a thousand people on the 100-acre flat. Although it is crowded, it is not too crowded.
"Wow, it's rare to see the grace of senior sisters."
The martial arts competition is a sect festival, and female disciples attend in costumes, including many beautiful women with curvy figures and gorgeous flowers.
"Is Senior Sister Zhu here? And that ordinary woman I met in the Sutra Pavilion..."
In front of the outer disciples stage, Xue Tong glanced at Shen Chuanpeng, Li Ruiguang and Xu Shichao, but he did not come forward to greet them. He was more concerned about the group of handyman disciples.
"Guan Hongfei, Zheng Long, Qi Jun... these people are watching the game in the audience, and it seems that they have not signed up to participate."
"Guan Hongfei!" Xue Tong approached and shouted.
"Ah, Junior Brother Xue! You are already a martial arts disciple..." Guan Hongfei was very surprised. Xue Tong's promotion to the middle stage was beyond his expectation.
Xue Tong had no intention of showing off, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "I don't see Senior Brother Xiong, are you participating in the competition?"
"Well, Senior Brother Xiong and Peng Tai have all signed up, and I heard that Manager Hong has also signed up."
"Oh, Manager Hong has also reported it. The stone field has been peaceful recently, right?" Xue Tong asked.
"Taiping, Taiping. Your incident shocked me a lot. The people in the stone field suddenly became much more honest. Peng Tai also seemed to have changed. The bullying in the group was greatly reduced. He may think that those things are not very interesting, so he might as well practice the exercises quickly. ." Guan Hongfei replied.
"Where's the jade farm?" Xue Tong asked again as Xia Baiyuan's skinny appearance emerged from the sea of consciousness.
"Nothing happened in Yuchang, just let it be normal."
"Oh, by the way, has Xia Baiyuan signed up?" Xue Tong asked curiously.
"Old Xia Tou can't give his name. You still don't know about him?"
Guan Hongfei saw Xue Tong shaking his head and continued: "Xia Baiyuan nearly lost his life when the sea of Fahai split when he tried to break through the level in his early years. He has been relying on medication for thirty years to survive. All of his hard-earned contribution points were replaced with spirit-replenishing elixirs. medicine."
"That's it!" Xue Tong sighed.
"I heard that Fahai, who he has been recuperating for thirty years, is gradually showing signs of improvement. There is a chance that he can reach the middle or late stages of practice, but there is no need to count on it the day after tomorrow."
According to Yunxiao Sect rules, when a disciple is injured, he must take special elixirs. If there is no spiritual stone to pay, a certain amount of the sect's contribution will be deducted.
The two were chatting happily, but were interrupted by Lei Xiao's bell-like voice. Lei Xiao announced that thirty-four outer disciples had signed up for the martial arts competition, and seventy-three were the handymen.
"The lottery ceremony begins!" Lei Xiao said loudly.
The martial arts tournament adopts the most common competition rules of Taoism.
For example, thirty-four outer disciples draw lots and compete in a catch-and-match test, with the winner entering the winner's group and the loser entering the loser's group;
Seventeen people in the winner group compete again, and the eight who win again enter the top ten;
The losers will be in the same group, and those who lose again will be in the losing group;
The remaining ones who have won one round or received a bye will enter the waiting group;
Among the ten top players on the stage, except for the eight who won both games, lots will be drawn from the waiting group, and two people will be chosen to fill the remaining positions. From then on, the following rules will be implemented:
Each person in the losing group has one chance to challenge anyone on the stage by name. If they win, they will be seated, if they fail, they will be completely defeated;
Members of the candidate group have two opportunities to challenge;
Those who are defeated by the challenger will automatically get a chance to challenge.
As for the handyman group, there were too many applicants, so there was a round of competition, and the three losers were eliminated. After that, the situation was similar.
Xue Tong did not participate in martial arts competitions and was not familiar with the rules, so he could not help but comment: "Wouldn't it be endless to challenge us repeatedly like this?"
"No, after trying it once or twice, everyone is sure that the rules of the martial arts competition are loose, and concealed weapons can be used freely. The weak dare not rush to the stage. Moreover, it is not a ranking competition. The ten people selected are in no particular order. Those who challenge The times are becoming less and less." Guan Hongfei explained.
"The competition can be stopped at any time, and there is no competition. There will be an acquired warrior on each side of the arena to watch the battle and act as a judge. In the event of casualties, it will be decided whether the winner has violated the rules." Guan Hongfei added.
