The road down the mountain is not smooth, and there are thorns and monster nests everywhere that are difficult to avoid.
The four Li Kaigu had a clear division of labor. Li Tiankai and Li Yiru, who looked young, impressed Su You and Jiang Nuer. They climbed up the surrounding trees with their strong and flexible bodies to observe the distance from high places, and then conveyed what they saw to Li Kaigu. With Li Gukai.
The close and consistent cooperation helped the group bypass countless monster lairs.
But halfway down the mountain, Li Tiankai and Li Yiru, who were scouts in front, hurried back and said to Li Kaigu and Li Gukai: "It's not good! There is a tiger-striped snake not far ahead that has woken up and is running around. Wandering in search of prey!"
After hearing what the two children said, Li Kaigu immediately turned around and said to Su You and Jiang Nuer: "Master Su, Miss Jiang, if they read correctly, there should be a person in front of him who is at the fifth level of the Immortal Realm. The tiger-striped venomous snake has become a roadblock, and it may be difficult to walk down the mountain road now, and you may need two people to help."
"Oh?" Su You became curious when he heard there was a roadblock ahead. He looked at Jiang Nuer and then turned around and asked, "How do you want us to cooperate with you?"
"Actually, it's not cooperation." Li Kaigu took out a map and pointed at the several routes drawn on it and said, "We will separate into two teams later to attract the tiger-striped venomous snake's attention and lure it away, and then You two need to leave quickly according to the route drawn on the map, and we will meet you at the end of the route as quickly as possible."
"There will be no monsters on this route, so you two can go there at a faster speed."
After explaining the precautions clearly, Li Kaigu and the other three people were divided into two teams. Li Gukai took Li Yiru to the left side where the tiger-striped viper was, while he took Li Tiankai to the right side to attract the tiger-striped viper's attention to each other and help Su. You He and Jiang Nuer's departure created conditions.
After finishing speaking, the group of four people immediately started taking action.
Although Li Kaigu and others are not at a high level of cultivation, relying on their familiarity with the environment and their flexible bodies, they can move faster than the tiger-striped poisonous snakes that are huge and can be pinched when they wander in the gaps.
They jumped up and down in the mountains and forests with a piece of monster meat still stained with blood, using the smell of blood and deliberately making noise to attract the tiger-striped poisonous snakes.
As soon as the tiger-striped viper smelled the smell of blood in the air, it immediately became energetic, and then it neighed and chased after the smell of the monster's flesh and blood.
Li Kaigu and Li Gukai cooperated with each other in the relay, and soon they actually led the tiger-striped poisonous snake to a distance.
Su You and Jiang Nuer took the opportunity to step out of the shadows and galloped away according to the route given by Li Kaigu.
Soon, the two people who passed through many thorns found a cave covered by trees and stones that might have been the foothold established by Li Kaigu and his party before.
But just when the two were planning to move away the bushes and rocks and wait for Li Kaigu and others to come and join them in the cave.
"Wait! There are traces of monster activity here."
Suddenly, Jiang Nuer stretched out her hand to stop Su You who was about to move forward to move the pile of stones. He took a step forward and unsheathed his sword at the same time. The spiritual power of the seventh level of the Immaculate Realm burst out, turning into a stream of spiritual energy. The beam of light blasted towards the cave ahead which looked suspicious.
"boom!"
"Roar!"
The cave collapsed suddenly, and the falling boulders and gravel raised a gust of wind and sand, obscuring the view.
But at the same time, a deep and dull roar sounded from the smoke.
Immediately, the sound of footsteps that made the ground tremble came from inside, and then I saw a figure as huge as a hill lifting up the dust and sand in the sky, bathing in the falling stones, and erecting a tree that spread out in the dark night. The tail thorn glowed with cold light, and he was about to stab Su You and Jiang Nuer in front of him.
"No! It's a rock scorpion from the Nirvana realm. We are no match. Run!"
Seeing the monster beast that appeared in front of him seemed to be covered with a layer of rock armor, its shape was similar to an ordinary poisonous scorpion, but its size was much larger. Before Jiang Nuer had time to test it, she discovered the spiritual power she had blasted out. The blow on the opponent's shell was not painful or itchy, and it didn't leave even a trace. You knew that this was definitely a rock scorpion in the Nirvana state.
Although he could use the cold poison aura to temporarily increase his strength, he could not protect Su You at the same time.
So I wanted to let Su You go first and I would take the lead.
After glancing at Jiang Nuer who was protecting him behind him, Su You didn't show any pretense and turned around to leave immediately.
at this time.
Li Kaigu and his party, who were previously responsible for luring away the tiger-striped poisonous snakes, came here to join the two.
When he saw the huge rock scorpion, he didn't think about running away. Instead, he took out a powder bag from the luggage on his back and sprinkled the powder on the rock scorpion.
Suddenly, dust filled the sky and blocked the sun. When its tail stinger fell and touched the powder, the Rock Scorpion showed a weird expression of pain, and then retracted its tail stinger at an extremely fast speed.
If you look carefully, you will find that the tail spines that are stained with powder seem to start to turn red, as if they have been poisoned.
At this time, Li Kaigu hurriedly shouted to the two of them: "Mr. Su! Miss Jiang! Run!"
Su You and Jiang Nuer, who immediately came to their senses after being called out, immediately followed in the direction of Li Kaigu and others.
There is a real difference between having an acquaintance leading the way and walking blindly on your own.
Although the road under our feet is winding and winding, we can still hear the unwilling roar of the rock scorpion behind us.
But after just one stick of incense, the group finally escaped the pursuit of the rock scorpion and found a more secluded place to rest.
Now that things have happened, Su You and Jiang Nuer no longer dare to underestimate Li Kaigu and others.
Su You curiously stepped forward and asked Li Kaigu: "Why did the bag of powder you threw out just now make the rock scorpion retract its tail stinger and why it didn't dare to chase us immediately?"
Li Kaigu did not hide it, and said bluntly: "Monsters like rock scorpions are very common in desert areas, so there are many people who are familiar with the rock scorpions' living habits, disliked food, and things they are afraid of. We conducted in-depth research, and later everyone discovered that although the rock scorpion is poisonous, it is also afraid of poison, especially the poison of the tiger-striped poisonous snake that we lured away before, even if it only smells it."
"In addition, we have been traveling on this hidden road for several years, and we are very familiar with the monsters living here, so every time we come out, we will bring a lot of self-defense props, including using tigers. The medicinal powder made from the venom of the striped viper is to delay its action when encountering the rock scorpion and buy us time to escape."
"I admire you, I admire you." Su You's eyes widened as if he were listening to a fairy tale, and he sighed in admiration: "I never thought that this method could be used to deal with monsters."
After he finished speaking, he gave Li Kaigu a thumbs up.
"That's right."
Li Kaigu shook his head, and then said with a serious face: "But these methods can only delay the actions of the monsters at most, and cannot completely kill those monsters with a high enough level of cultivation. If the monsters themselves are on guard, It will be even harder to achieve next time.”
"I calculated the time. The packet of medicinal powder cannot trap the Rock Poisonous Scorpion for too long, but with the Rock Poisonous Scorpion's temper, it will definitely be angry and want to catch up with us, so we must set off now and leave this area quickly. cliff."
After that, everyone packed up and hit the road again, faster than before.
soon.
After passing through a turbid pond full of monster corpses, brother and sister Li Tiankai and Li Yiru, who were walking in front to act as scouts to observe the environment, ran back with excitement on their faces and said to everyone: "You can clearly see the ruins of Xihuang City. ! We can go down the mountain and back to the road in no time!"
