After all, Gu Mingtai had no intention of letting people like Anqizhai go from the beginning.
Because of this plan, it had officially started more than a month ago when Dao Jinwen was kidnapped by the Thousand Poison Spider King.
The Naxi tribe is the most powerful tribe in the Yanshan Gorge.
——Pu Xiang realm masters have the largest number, occupy the largest territory, hunt the most abundant food, and possess the richest resources.
Almost all nearby tribes also depend on the Naxi tribe for survival.
While paying tribute to the God King Temple, they also paid taxes to the Naxi tribe in order to seek "protection" from the Naxi tribe.
The reason why "shelter" is in quotation marks here is that it means not only that the Naxi will give them a little support in times of crisis, but also to prevent them from being attacked by monsters deliberately attracted by the Naxi tribe, or even being disguised as The "rogue" Naxi people burned, killed and looted.
Of course, there are always a few hard bones that are hard for Naxi to swallow. But these "strong bones" usually don't live well, and even the monsters don't look down on the few resources they have.
Only the Anqi tribe, which is located on the edge of the canyon and is easy to defend and difficult to attack, is an exception among the "hard bones".
It is precisely because of their unique geographical location and tribal heritage that Anqizhai is rarely disturbed by monsters, making hunting more convenient;
Unless there is a head-on battle, it will be difficult for rogue bandits or even people pretending to be rogue bandits to attack their tribes.
You can still live a happy life without paying Naxi taxes. The existence of such tribes in Yanshan Gorge is almost a "provocation" to the Naxi tribe.
But why did Naxi not take the initiative to declare war, but instead allowed the Anqi tribe to fend for itself?
As mentioned earlier, Anqi Village only has one old village leader who is in the Puxiang realm, and the younger members of the clan also have mediocre qualifications.
But if the two tribes really want to fight, although the Naxi will win, they will still have to pay a price of blood - such as killing and injuring several Pu Xiangjing.
However, the Naxi are considered powerful in the Yanshan area, but in the entire Liuchuan forest area, they can only be regarded as the lowest among the ten major tribes.
In this level of competition, the strength of the Naxi tribe seems to be somewhat stretched.
Therefore, if An Qishang cannot threaten them, they will never take action head on.
But the conspiracy and calculation behind it has never been less.
Although the crisis that Anqizhai encountered some time ago cannot be said to be the work of the Naxi tribe, it was also contributed to it.
Although the little beauty Lou Yueniang is heart-warming, what is even more heart-warming is the bow of the Anqi tribe.
——After the first time, there will be a second time, a third time...
Coupled with the fact that Lou Yueniang is the "hostage" in hand, An Qi is just around the corner.
However, "Han Hanlin" came out halfway and helped the Anqi tribe solve the crisis of the Jiuji Nine-headed Beast, and abducted Lou Yueniang by the way.
This made Gu Mingtai, who had been thinking about the beauty for a long time, so angry that his teeth itched.
But it was at this time that he discovered that the "extremely talented" "priest candidate" he met by chance three years ago and then hunted overnight was not dead, but was hiding in the Anqi tribe!
Although the opponent's strength is now declining, it may even never recover.
But what if?
Especially, once the people of the Anqi tribe discovered that he was actually a "priest candidate", they sent him to the Temple of the God King. The people at the God King Temple will definitely try their best to help him recover!
At that time, Han Hanlin, whose status has risen, will definitely come back to take revenge on him!
Putting aside personal grievances, the Anqi tribe will follow Han Hanlin to achieve Taoism alone, and chickens and dogs will ascend to heaven. Then the life of the Naxi tribe in the Yanshan Canyon area will not be so easy!
Therefore, Han Hanlin was a thorn in his eye and a thorn in his heart, making him want to eat his flesh alive.
Gu Mingtai thought about it day and night and couldn't sleep at night. He regretted his behavior of not going to find the other party's "body" to confirm.
"But it's not too late to act now. After all, he has not recovered his strength yet, and no one except our people knows that he is actually a 'priest candidate'. As long as he is eradicated before that, we can."
Fatty Naqu, his follower, rarely gave him a good idea.
"The Anqi tribe saved him, so he will naturally express his gratitude. We didn't deal with Anqi at first, and we just kept doing nothing, so you took over the job of dealing with Anqi. Not only can you provoke Han Han and Lin Qiang, but you can also completely It destroyed Anqi's roots.
"When the time comes, you will get rid of the big trouble in your heart, and you will get another credit for getting rid of the Anqi tribe. Whether you are a priest or a village leader, it will be safe and sound. By then, not to mention one Lou Yueniang, there will be ten , that’s yours too!
"Isn't the time for the annual selection of priests coming soon? It is said that Anqi will send a woman with a special gift to participate this year. It will happen to pass through the territory of the Thousand Poison Spider King, and we are on the way..."
Although Naxi had no intention of dealing with this Thousand-Poison Spider King, which had grown up like a cannibal and a voodoo, he had quite complete information about it.
With the help of the Thousand Poison Spider King and Dao Jinwen, people from Anqi Village were lured to rescue them. If they lurk nearby again, the snipe and the clam will fight, and the fisherman will benefit - the priest candidate, Anqi Shao Village Master, and the Thousand Poison Spider King will all be their merits!
It would be best if Han Hanlin came; if he didn't come, he could make a lot of money, and he could borrow hostages to continue to hook the other party.
Everything was going smoothly. Dao Jinwen was robbed, and Lou Chuanyang led his men to rescue him. The hunting team was split into two teams, with the hostage in his hand, and Han Hanlin acted with all his heart...
Why has the scene turned back into a big melee now?
"ah!!"
He covered his shoulder and screamed heartbreakingly from the severe pain of the wound.
Gu Mingtai suddenly woke up when he saw the fat wolf with its mouth full of his own flesh and blood and wagging its tail at Han Hanlin.
During the sneak attack on the hunting teams guarding the surface just now, the fat wolf did not come out to rescue them because it could not defeat Qiu Lao; but this does not mean that it has escaped!
It has been waiting nearby, waiting for the moment when its master counterattacks, and comes to help!
At the beginning of the plan, he had already considered the wolf's combat effectiveness. But with the help of Mr. Qiu, no matter whether it is Lou Chuanyang, Han Hanlin or a mentally retarded stupid wolf, they are all vulnerable.
So he didn't take the wolf seriously at all.
That's why he was unprepared for the sudden appearance of this wolf!
And these changes, these changes...
It's all because of the man named "Yao Lin" who joined An Qi inexplicably and stopped Qiu Lao!
Gu Mingtai immediately took out a pill from the mustard bag and swallowed it.
The bleeding from the wound caused by the giant wolf's bite was quickly stopped and even began to heal immediately.
The moment the giant wolf appeared, the masked man who was fighting with Lou Chuanyang immediately gave up his advantage and turned towards the giant wolf.
Although there was no way to stop the giant wolf's sneak attack, the masked man quickly controlled the giant wolf and prevented it from bothering Gu Mingtai again.
As for the rest of Anqi, although they were no longer as passive as before, the Naxi tribe still had the upper hand, causing many people in the hunting team to die.
Seeing the masked man and the giant wolf fighting together, Lou Chuanyang gritted his teeth and stopped caring about Gu Linglinhan and the giant wolf. He turned around and ran to help other tribesmen.
The situation fell into a delicate balance. Everyone has his own opponent, and everyone is inescapable.
Although over time, the balance will definitely be disturbed. But no one knows who is making faster progress and who can accumulate strength to defeat the enemy in front of him first.
At this time, any outside interference may affect the entire battle situation.
Just like...
"hiss……"
Ling Yao didn't dare to use the inherited technique in front of so many people, so he used the spiritual formation pattern again.
And those runes that he had previously punched out had gradually gathered back at this moment, continuously increasing his spiritual power.
But because of this, he was the first to notice the unusual movement.
"Hiss, hiss..."
Previously, he thought it was an illusion, but the sound spit out by Snake Xin did not disappear. Instead, it became louder and louder in his perception, and it was getting closer...
His mental state suddenly became extremely tense.
If given the chance, he really wanted to eradicate these people in Naxi and destroy their corpses and traces.
As long as he can win without being seriously injured.
He is indeed 80% sure of success, and the remaining 20% is the possibility of people like An Qi stabbing him behind the back.
But the premise of all this is... there is no outside interference.
If there is any external interference, he must escape immediately. Or, take a risk...
"Hiss..."
Ling Yao's fighting and dodging steps paused, and the sword that was originally swung from the inside out suddenly turned around and was pulled flat by his right elbow to the left.
He rubbed his left hand towards the mustard bag at his waist, and the newly acquired white-green crystal core jumped into his palm and was held by him;
The right hand turned the wrist and held the Chengying Sword horizontally, and slashed towards the old poison master's neck!
Qiu Lao thought he had the upper hand, so naturally he would not confront Ling Yao head-on.
Seeing that the opponent didn't care about the poison mist and poison darts, he used a flat sword to attack in close range. He thought the opponent was bent on exchanging death for injury, so he scoffed and retreated slightly, planning to avoid this attack for the time being.
But before he could retreat, Ling Yao's sword turned and cut in a strange arc, just in time to stop the two poison darts that were about to cut into his waist and abdomen.
But he took the opportunity to raise his left hand upward, put the crystal core to his mouth, squinted one eye, and pressed the edge with his tiger teeth.
Click——
A small cracking sound suddenly came from the crystal core.
And a stream of white-green spiritual smoke emerged from the tiny cracks in the crystal stone, and the crystal core itself suddenly began to circulate with a green-green spiritual light.
When Qiu Lao saw this, he suddenly looked shocked:
"You madman! Absorbing the sixth-order crystal core directly like this will..."
He could go crazy... Ling Yao rolled his eyes inwardly.
Although going crazy can kill people, it can actually improve combat effectiveness in a short period of time.
This old guy probably didn't expect that the crystal core of the Thousand Poison Spider King would really fall into his hands.
And now he was panicking because he thought he was cornered and wanted to take advantage of his obsessed state to die with him.
——But... even if the method of directly crushing the sixth-order crystal core and absorbing it is indeed a bit violent...
Ling Yao simply let go of his left hand, held the crystal core in his mouth, held the sword in both hands, and slashed at the old poison master!
——But just because you're obsessed with it doesn't mean I can.
Just thinking like this, Ling Yao's face inadvertently showed a kind of wanton and evil smile.
Well, he definitely wouldn't notice it himself, but in Qiu Lao's view, it was the smiling villain unleashing his final madness...
Well, although as a villain, it's quite embarrassing for him to actually think that others are villains. But this is probably how he feels mentally.
The older a person lives, the more afraid of death sometimes he becomes. This sentence is not unreasonable.
At least the person in front of him, Ling Yao looked at him, was indeed afraid of death.
So seeing Ling Yao's "fight to the death" posture, his momentum was instantly suppressed, and his movements began to become hesitant, as if he was ready to escape at any time.
This is exactly what Ling Yao wants.
The moment the enemy falters is the best time for the sword cultivator to counterattack!
While he absorbed the violent power in the crystal core, he instantly transformed it and released it onto the Shadow Bearing Sword.
The Shadow Sword was immediately shrouded in a black shadow of the sword spirit, and its power and speed were also increased to the limit.
Ling Yao's moves are ordinary, but every move is extremely precise and interlocking.
In the blink of an eye, the old poison master was suppressed and retreated steadily! !
boom--!
With the last blow of the long move, the Chengying Sword suddenly flashed at an angle that ordinary people could not predict. The sword energy surged several feet, and the shadow penetrated Qiu Lao's cloak, allowing the sword edge to directly penetrate the enemy's chest!
However, Ling Yao didn't have time to go and check whether Qiu Lao, who flew upside down, was dead or alive. He turned his gaze warily to the distance and rubbed the crystal core in his mouth with his teeth.
In fact, he originally didn't want to use the crystal core at this time.
But in order to prevent the running monster from interfering in the battle, he had to take precautions.
Because that monster is the most sacred symbol of the Liuchuan forest area, and the people of Liuchuan must not harm it. It is a member of the same clan of the Tongtian God King.
"hiss--!"
--snake.
