Chapter 544 Beginning of Attraction
.
Looking at its hill-like body, everyone’s heart was thumping wildly. None of them dared to make a single move.
It was a giant spider over a hundred feet long. It was at least five hundred feet tall. Its eight long legs were tightly bound together. The countless spikes on its surface glinted with a cold steel-like light. No one dared to question its sharpness.
The enormous stomach was covered with strange veined patterns. It was like a rock, and it emitted a frightening aura.
Its head was buried in the ground, so the appearance of its head couldn’t be seen. However, just the aura emitted from its body was enough to send chills down one’s spine.
"Long Chen, what do you think?" Mu Xue said in a slightly nervous tone. After all, someone could easily die in such a big matter. She had no choice but to be nervous.
"Let me tell you some unfortunate news. From the looks of it, it has just advanced and is still consolidating its cultivation." Long Chen said somewhat helplessly.
Everyone’s faces changed. An early Xiantian realm demon beast was their limit. A middle Xiantian realm was something they couldn’t defeat. If they went up, they would only be courting death.
"How could this be?"
Everyone could not help but feel somewhat indignant. They had rushed here with great difficulty, but even though the Underground Spiders were still here, the heavens were still playing a big joke on them.
"Are we going to give up just like that?" Everyone said unwillingly.
Mu Xue took a deep breath and said to Long Chen, "According to your estimation, what happens if we attack with all our strength?"
Long Chen looked at Mu Xue before looking at the crowd. He muttered to himself for a moment before saying, "If you go at it forcefully, you should have half a chance of killing the Underground Spiders!"
Long Chen’s words caused everyone to be overjoyed. However, Long Chen’s next words immediately caused their hearts to sink to the bottom.
“Even if you kill the Underground Spider, I’m afraid more than half of your people will die here.”
Moreover, there was still half a chance that the Underground Spiders would kill everyone here. You guys should figure out what to do next. "Long Chen said.
The group immediately came to a difficult decision. To deal with a Class 6 Magical Beast, which was a Xiantian realm one, was already taking a huge risk.
However, the situation in front of them had drastically changed. They hadn’t followed their plans at all. The Spider Emperor had advanced to the middle stage of the Xiantian realm. They simply couldn’t deal with it.
“Captain, let’s do it!” One of the mercenaries said in a low voice.
Although they usually called Mu Xue senior sister, when the mercenary group was on a mission, they would call Mu Xue their captain.
“That’s right. Captain, let’s do it. We’re not afraid of death. We don’t need to owe others any favors.” Another person added.
Mu Xue was caught in a painful decision. The risk of killing a Underground Spider was too high, she could not bear to let everyone take such a risk, she could not allow everyone to die.
"Captain, did you forget?" We are all elites from the various families and powers. Have you forgotten the reason why we formed the Mu Xue Mercenary Group?
We have had enough of the deceit, insidious schemes, and despicable and shameless suppression and exclusion of the family.
The reason we formed the Mu Xue Mercenary Group was to be able to live freely with clear grudges and grudges. Our fate is controlled by ourselves, even if we only control it for a day, we will die in peace.
In the past few years, we have been free from all constraints and have been living for ourselves every day. We have already earned enough money, how can it be that we have been living in peace for so long that we don’t even dare to fight with our lives? " A mercenary said with red eyes.
“That’s right, Guild Leader. Our Mu Xue Mercenary Group only owes Mo Sect a favor and we have to pay it back. From now on, we are free and at ease. We no longer have any pressure.”
"Ever since we chose the path of cultivation, no one thought that the day would come when we would die peacefully. If we died, that would mean that our lives were not tough enough. We would have no regrets. What we wanted was to be happy and avenging!"
When Long Chen heard these people’s agitated words, he couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. Although this world was like a vat of color, there was still a portion of people who weren’t infected by it and still maintained their true hearts.
“Alright, we’ll kill this beast today!”
Mu Xue gritted her teeth and turned around to speak to Long Chen. “Long Chen, you can leave first. Your cultivation is too low and you won’t be able to help me with anything here!”
Long Chen shook his head. “Why do I feel like all of you are so generous? Isn’t it just killing a magical beast? Why does it feel like a farewell from death?”
"Long Chen …"
Long Chen interrupted Mu Xue’s words. “I didn’t expect that I, Long Chen, would still be able to meet you, this group of hot-blooded men. If you trust me, then just listen to my commands. Although I can’t guarantee that all of you will survive, at least I can give you more chances of survival!”
Mu Xue hesitated for a moment before she looked at Long Chen and said, “Alright then. We’ll have to trouble Brother Long then. Everyone will be under Brother Long’s command in a while.”
"Yes!"
What made Long Chen very satisfied was that Mu Xue actually had absolute authority in the mercenary group and everyone had to listen to him with just one word.
This meant that everyone’s lives were immediately handed over to Long Chen. They trusted Mu Xue so much, and Mu Xue actually trusted a person who hadn’t even interacted with Long Chen for a day.
This moved Long Chen a little. Mu Xue seemed to be the same kind of person as him, and he felt that since that was the case, Long Chen would have to put in some effort.
"All retreat!"
What made everyone dumbstruck was that Long Chen’s first order was to have everyone retreat. What was going on?
"Long Chen, this …?" Mu Xue was also slightly dazed.
“Hehe, looks like my order isn’t working.” Long Chen shook his head.
“Long Chen, don’t be angry. We just don’t understand …” Mu Xue hastily said.
"Very well, I will explain. This is my first explanation, and also my last explanation. You must listen well, the next time I issue an order, no matter what order it is, you must follow it, because this is a matter of life and death."
Long Chen said with a serious expression, "This is a barren mountain. This terrain is not suitable for us to fight in. Underground spiders will sneak into the ground and we will not be able to find any traces of it."
If we lure it to the grasslands and broaden our horizons, our chances of winning will greatly increase, do you understand? "
When Long Chen said this, everyone immediately understood. They couldn’t help but have a sliver of confidence in Long Chen. Long Chen at least had real talent.
"Alright, let me ask you two. When you usually kill a magical beast, do you usually split your team into groups?" Long Chen asked.
"Divide into four groups. All of you, arrange yourselves so that Long Chen can take a look!" After Mu Xue finished speaking, everyone stood in four groups, six people in each group. It was very orderly.
Long Chen remembered the order and combat strength of the small groups and said to them, "All of you, retreat to the grassland for a hundred li or so. Prepare for battle!"
"Yes!"
This time, everyone remembered Long Chen’s words. Without any hesitation, they all retreated, leaving behind Long Chen and Mu Xue.
“Long Chen, why don’t you come with them? I can lure it by myself!” Mu Xue said. She was afraid that Long Chen would be in danger. After all, he had just advanced and was still in the Meridian Condensation period.
“Don’t be so nervous. It’s just a mid-stage Xiantian Magic Beast. Relax, it’s fine. Also, I’m an expert at escaping, so there’s no need to worry about me.” Long Chen said with a smile.
If not for the fact that he was currently not suitable for battle, he could have easily killed this spider by himself. However, his meridians were not perfect and he did not dare to rashly use his spiritual energy.
“Alright, I’m going to start luring the monsters.”
Long Chen found a fist-sized rock from the ground and threw it out, "Your son is still sleeping. The sun is shining on his butt!"
Hearing Long Chen’s curses, Mu Xue almost couldn’t laugh. However, when the stone left Long Chen’s hand, she couldn’t laugh anymore.
This was because after the rock flew out, the terrifying stream of air tore through the space and shot towards the Underground Spider that was dozens of miles away like a meteor.
"Boom!"
With an explosive sound, the stone smashed into the spider’s stomach. The spider, which was still in deep sleep, was pushed back more than a dozen feet while sticking close to the ground.
"What a terrifying power!"
A hint of horror surfaced in Mu Xue’s eyes. She never thought that a weak scholar like Long Wu Chen would actually have such terrifying strength.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, a terrifying pressure rose up, causing the space to tremble. The spider opened its eight long spider legs, revealing a head that was several times larger than a house. Its two pitch black teeth trembled as it revealed a sinister expression.
"Creak …"
The spider suddenly let out a furious cry as it charged towards Long Chen and Mu Xue. Although its body was enormous, its speed was as fast as lightning.
"You can try using some oil on your feet."
After Long Chen said this, he ran. Mu Xue had long since made her preparations. The two of them ran at full speed with the huge body of the Underground Spider in hot pursuit.
What made Mu Xue horrified were the eight long legs of the Underground Spider, which moved so fast that it was even faster than her own speed.
Long Chen had already run to the front, which made her both embarrassed and angry. She was still worried about Long Chen, but she was left behind.
Moreover, from this speed, she would be caught before she could even reach the prairie. Long Chen’s plans would be disrupted by her position as the Guild Leader.
However, her speed had already reached its limit. She could only watch helplessly as the spider closed in. There was nothing she could do but to be prepared to attack at any time.
Suddenly, Long Chen stopped and held onto Mu Xue’s hand. Mu Xue was shocked. “You go first, don’t …”
But halfway through her sentence, she was pulled up by Long Chen, as if she was flying a kite by Long Chen. His speed was so fast that Mu Xue didn’t even have the chance to touch the ground with her toes.
Long Chen only slowed down after distancing himself from the spider. Only then did Mu Xue have the chance to run on the ground.
Mu Xue was horrified. Long Chen’s speed just now was too terrifying. He was simply flying and she couldn’t say a single word.
With the help of Long Chen, the two of them maintained a distance of three thousand meters from the spider. Suddenly, a flat grassland appeared in front of them.
At the same time, a few figures appeared. They were Zhang Wu and the rest. They were already prepared for battle. Mu Xue suddenly felt a tight grip on her waist. Long Chen had actually wrapped his hand around her waist, nearly causing her to scream.
"Start gathering your strength now. When we reach the predetermined location, I will throw you into the air. Use your strongest technique and attack the spider with all you have. Victory will depend on your attack. Do not be careless." Long Chen said in a deep voice as he sprinted.
Hearing Long Chen’s words, Mu Xue’s heart skipped a beat. She didn’t care about the embarrassment of having Long Chen hold her waist as she started to frantically gather her strength.
"Get ready!" Long Chen suddenly roared.
Chapter 545 - Corpse Obtaining
.
"Attack!"
Long Chen’s arm suddenly shook as Mu Xue’s graceful body flew into the air.
Clang!
He unsheathed his sword, and with a sound like the roar of a dragon, a sword light shot up into the sky. A terrifying sword Qi fiercely slashed down on the spider.
"Boom!"
With an explosive sound, the charging spider and Mu Xue’s sword qi collided violently, creating a large crater in the ground.
"Beautiful!"
Long Chen shouted loudly. The Underground Spider that was charging over was stopped by Mu Xue’s sword. This showed that Mu Xue’s sword was very amazing.
Furthermore, Long Chen discovered that Mu Xue’s sword strike already contained a portion of her Xiantian strength. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to achieve such a good effect.
"The first group, attack the left, the second groups, attack the right, the third group. After attacking, the four groups will immediately attack the left, two groups, attack the right, three groups." Long Chen shouted.
Mu Xue’s power had exceeded Long Chen’s expectations. In this way, the situation would be completely one-sided with Mu Xue’s mercenary group.
When everyone heard Long Chen’s command, they all drew their weapons and charged towards the spider. The spider was simply too large, and they had to use powerful offensive skills or ranged attacks.
However, they discovered very dejectedly that when their attacks landed on the legs of the Underground Spider, sparks would shoot out and there was no way to harm it at all.
“Chopping off his legs is useless. The stomach is his weakness. I don’t expect you to attack the people on both sides. I only need you to distract the Underground Spiders and create opportunities for others. Everyone, be careful! Safety first!” Long Chen shouted.
"Boom!"
The hidden spider focused its attention on Mu Xue. Even if the intelligence of cold-blooded demon beasts were low, it could still feel that Mu Xue posed the greatest threat amongst these people. Therefore, it used all of its strength to attack Mu Xue.
Fierce Teeth and huge legs launched a series of fierce attacks at Mu Xue. The longsword in Mu Xue’s hand danced as sword beams flew everywhere. However, she was still forced to retreat repeatedly in the face of a Xiantian Realmmagical beast.
"What are you doing, friends, standing behind the buttocks of those spiders? Are you waiting to wipe his ass? There is a hole there, can’t you see it? " Long Chen looked at the few people crazily slashing their legs behind the Underground Winter Spider and said loudly.
Those people were stunned. When they raised their heads, they indeed saw a hole under the spider’s belly. However, that hole was now closed.
A mercenary held a long spear in his hands as he charged towards the cave.
Puff.
In other places, the spear would have just been a spark, but in this place, it was as weak as the wind.
"Creak …"
The Underground Spider suddenly raised its body and let out an unpleasant screech. Clearly, it was experiencing some sort of pain.
“Captain, work harder! We can’t let it turn back or the others will die without a doubt!” Long Chen loudly shouted.
Mu Xue had just caught her breath when she was forced into a fluster by the Underground Spider. She couldn’t help but shiver when she heard Long Chen’s words. The long sword in her hand suffused with sword shadows as it ruthlessly attacked the Underground Spider.
The Underground Spider wanted to turn around several times to kill the kids that had blown it up, but Mu Xue’s attacks were too ruthless and it couldn’t turn around.
“Right, that’s right. Just follow this rhythm. Pay attention to your safety. If the Guild Leader is in a tight spot, follow me from behind.”
“But remember, you can only come once. If too many come at once, the Underground Spiders won’t be able to take it anymore and will do everything in their power to take care of you!” Long Chen reminded.
Seeing such a huge beast being held back by the crowd, the crowd couldn’t help but feel extremely proud. This was a mid-stage Xiantian magical beast!
However, Long Chen only stared at Mu Xue, because Mu Xue was the key to killing the Underground Spiders. Without her, it would be impossible to complete this quest.
This battle was obviously an opportunity for Mu Xue. Long Chen felt that Mu Xue had a great chance of breaking through to the XiantianRealm, and only if she broke through the Xiantian realm would she be able to kill any hidden spiders.
On the surface, they seemed to have the upper hand, but if they wanted to kill the spider, they would have no chance at all.
"Mu Xue, retreat!"
Long Chen suddenly let out an explosive shout. Mu Xue was attacking the Underground Spider when she heard Long Chen’s explosive shout. She retreated backwards without a second thought.
At this moment, a gigantic spider web suddenly shot out from the spider’s mouth towards Mu Xue.
This incident was very sudden. If Mu Xue hadn’t received Long Chen’s reminder and retreated in advance, she would have been trapped by the huge net.
Now that the huge net was here, she had sufficient time to avoid it. The huge net was infused with a blue liquid and had an unpleasant smell. Without even thinking, it was definitely poisonous. Being trapped by the net would be the end of her.
"Everyone, be careful. When the Underground Spiders are about to spray out their nets, their stomachs will shrink. This is an omen." Long Chen reminded.
When the crowd heard Long Chen’s words, they couldn’t help but be shocked. At the same time, they couldn’t help but admire Long Chen. If it wasn’t for Long Chen, someone would have already fallen by now.
“This can’t go on!”
Long Chen muttered to himself, because he noticed that Mu Xue’s aura fluctuated a few times and didn’t break through to the Xiantianrealm. If this were to continue, then her chances of entering the Xiantian Realmwould become increasingly slim.
The more Xiantian Realmbarriers he had, the thicker they would become, and the more difficult it would be to break through them in the future.
"I have to think of a way!"
Long Chen stared at the battlefield, watching the people fight. He was looking for an opportunity.
Bang.
All of a sudden, a mercenary was sent flying by a spider leg. He coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his eyes lit up.
“Brother, you can hold on. You’ll be fine. Don’t die!” Long Chen hugged the person and shouted loudly. His voice was filled with sorrow.
“Bro, I didn’t …” “AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”
That person merely spat out a mouthful of blood. His internal organs had only been shaken; it was nothing major.
He was about to say that he was fine when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his thigh. He couldn’t help but let out a painful cry.
The person collapsed limply to the ground as Long Chen knocked him unconscious with a slap. He thought to himself, “Brother, I’m sorry!”
“Don’t die, don’t die …” Long Chen shook the man vigorously, hoping to ‘awaken’ him.
This scene was witnessed by everyone. They didn’t know that Long Chen had done anything, so for a moment, everyone’s eyes were red.
"Kill!"
Seeing a brother "fall", everyone attacked the spider with all their might.
Bang.
A mercenary was sent flying by the spider due to his tight charge. Blood spurted out from his mouth, and by the time he hit the ground, he had already fainted. He didn’t even need Long Chen to do anything.
"Bastard!"
Mu Xue suddenly let out a mournful howl as the long sword in her hand crazily slashed at the spider below. At the same time, her aura began to charge towards the bottleneck.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, an explosive sound erupted from Mu Xue’s body, as a terrifying and oppressive aura instantly emanated from her.
Mu Xue, on the other hand, was completely unaware of it. She gritted her teeth as she brandished her sword, desperately killing the spider.
She didn’t realize that her previous attacks weren’t able to break through the spider’s defenses. However, every time she slashed out with her sword, a large wound would appear on the spider’s body and a yellow-green liquid would slowly flow out.
"The captain has advanced to the Xiantian stage!"
Someone had finally discovered it, but Mu Xue was still madly slaughtering the Underground Spiders.
"Boom!"
A stream of sword Qi flew out. The giant fangs of that spider could no longer withstand so many slashes. It was cut in half and fell to the ground.
"Be careful, it wants to escape!"
Long Chen suddenly reminded. Just as Long Chen finished speaking, the eight legs of the Underground Spiders suddenly merged together like drills, fiercely stabbing into the ground. The ground was suddenly loosened, and the Underground Spider drilled into the ground, disappearing without a trace.
This was the origin of the Underground Spider’s name. Its core was of the dark attribute, but it had a certain degree of control over the power of earth. Its most cunning aspect was that if it encountered danger, it would sneak into the ground to escape.
Long Chen felt that if Mu Xue didn’t break through the Xiantian realm and wanted to kill the Underground Tunneling Spider, that would be wishful thinking, and that was because it was trying to escape.
The gigantic figure of the Underground Spider disappeared right in front of everyone. Everyone was dumbfounded. Such a huge body had suddenly disappeared. It was too scary.
"Mu Xue, prepare your strongest attack. I will find its position!"
Long Chen released his Spiritual Sense and quickly locked onto a spot on the ground. A smile appeared on his face as he took out an arrow and threw it a few hundred feet away.
"Here, attack with all our strength!" Long Chen said.
"Flying Frost Sword!"
Mu Xue shouted coldly as the long sword in her hand viciously slashed down. A terrifying sword aura directly cut a three thousand meter deep ditch into the ground in front of her.
"Boom!"
The soil exploded as a huge figure emerged from the ground. It was the Underground Spider. At this moment, a long gash had appeared on the back of the spider, and its gigantic body was almost sliced in half.
Because it was hiding underground, it probably never thought of defending itself underground. In the end, it was heavily injured by a single sword attack.
When it unearthed itself again, Mu Xue didn’t need Long Chen to say anything. She knew what to do. Another huge stream of Sword Qi slashed towards the spider’s head.
Puff.
The hidden spider’s head was sliced into two pieces by Mu Xue’s sword. It remained motionless and died just like that.
Long Chen couldn’t help but secretly praise Mu Xue in his heart. She was truly powerful. Every strike of hers was accompanied by the strength of the Xiantian realm, stronger than the previous strikes. Her comprehension ability was truly not bad.
"Hahaha, victory, victory!"
There was a moment of silence, followed by cheers and excitement.
"Captain, we have the crystal core!"
Zhang Wu rummaged through the gigantic skull of the Underground Spider for a long time before finally finding a crystal core. He held onto it with both of his hands and ran in front of Mu Xue as he said this.
Mu Xue extended her hands to receive the crystal core. Her hands were trembling and even now, she still felt like she was in a dream. She had actually broken through. Everything had happened too suddenly and felt unreal.
“Erm, you don’t want this corpse, right? If you don’t, then give it to me.” Long Chen pointed at the large corpse of the Underground Winter Spider.
“If you want it, then take it. But let me tell you, the corpses of Underground Spiders aren’t worth much!” Mu Xue kept the crystal core properly and couldn’t help but feel elated as she smiled at Long Chen.
“Heh heh, that’s good!”
Long Chen couldn’t help but be overjoyed. He retrieved the spider’s corpse into the chaotic space and threw it onto the black soil. Before Long Chen could observe it, a furious roar could be heard.
"Ah… "Long Chen, you bastard! You dare to plot against me!" The expert who had originally been knocked out with a slap from Long Chen had come back to life and pointed at Long Chen as he roared.
Chapter 546 Iron Feathered Horned Eagle
.
It was still the same place on the lake. The tents had been replaced, and all the mercenaries of Mu Xue’s mercenary group were laughing loudly, drinking and celebrating with all their might.
This battle was just too beautiful. Not a single person was killed, and not even a few were injured.
The most exciting thing was that Mu Xue, the leader of the mercenary group, had actually broken through to the Xiantian realm.
It could be described as a double celebration. After the great battle, there was no longer any hesitation in drinking wine and eating large chunks of meat. Even Mu Xue had drank a dozen or so bowls of wine as a blush appeared on her face.
Long Chen was surrounded by the crowd. Dozens of wine bowls collided with Long Chen. Long Chen didn’t say anything as he drained all of his wine bowls.
Now that he had consumed more than two hundred bowls, even without the suppression of spiritual energy, Long Chen felt that his alcohol capacity was a little off.
However, Long Chen liked this feeling very much. They were all hot-blooded men. They would say whatever they wanted to say with all their emotions hanging on their faces. They were living a very real life.
From Long Chen’s understanding, he knew that they were all from great forces and great families. After being ostracized, they left in anger, becoming wandering martial practitioners.
They were all very talented, but unfortunately, they were all disheartened within their own power. They would rather wander around and be free martial artists.
They no longer saw strength as life. They put their attitude towards life first, and their emotions first. It could be said that they were a very different kind of cultivators.
Although their cultivation resources depended on what they obtained from missions and their lives were filled with danger, it was also filled with excitement.
They really enjoyed this kind of life. Perhaps in the eyes of others, they were just a bunch of unpopular characters that couldn’t achieve great things. However, they still gave up on me and were free to do whatever they wanted.
“Long Chen, today I asked you, why did you pinch me? You still haven’t answered me!” A mercenary said as he patted Long Chen’s shoulder with a wine bowl in his hand. His tongue had grown big from drinking too much.
That person was the guy who was being pinched by Long Chen during the battle in the day. However, during the fight, everyone was busy with their business and did not have the opportunity to pay attention to him.
As he spoke, everyone looked at Long Chen and thought back to what had happened in the day.
Long Chen burped, patted his shoulder and laughed: "Brother, are you still not convinced? "You should be secretly happy. I was going to crush your balls!"
Hearing Long Chen’s words, the man felt a chill run down his spine. The alcohol in his body was already half awake. He cried out in alarm, “F * ck! Do I have such a huge grudge with you?”
“This is called sacrificing you for your own good. Captain, if it wasn’t for your pitiful cry and you passing out, how could the Captain be so angry that it would explode?”
If it did not explode, how could she seize this opportunity to break through to the Xiantian realm in one go? If she didn’t broke through to the Xiantian realm, how would we stop the Underground Spiders from escaping?
If we can’t kill the Underground Spiders, will we be able to eat big chunks of meat here and drink wine to celebrate? To be honest, you are the one who contributed the most to killing the Underground Spiders.
That person was confused by Long Chen’s words. It was as if this battle had been won solely because of his strength. When he saw Long Chen drink, he quickly picked up his own wine bowl and gulped it down.
He was confused, but everyone could clearly hear his words. Their hearts were all violently shaken. It turned out that all of this had been part of Long Chen’s plan.
Especially Mu Xue, as she recalled everything that had happened before and after. It was just as Long Chen had said; if she didn’t break through to the Xiantian realm, not only would she die, many people would die, and she would return empty-handed.
This meant that Long Chen had planned out all the steps before he planned to attack the Underground Spider. This wisdom was truly admirable.
At the same time, Mu Xue secretly called herself lucky. Long Chen was simply her lucky star. If it wasn’t for Long Chen, she really didn’t know what to do.
"Long Chen, let me toast you!"
Mu Xue carried the wine bowl and walked in front of Long Wu Chen as she said gratefully.
"Haha! Beautiful leader, I am honored!" Long Chen hurriedly picked up the wine bowl.
“Thank you!” Mu Xue’s beautiful eyes looked leisurely at Long Chen.
“Haha, Captain is too courteous. If it wasn’t for you taking me in, I would still be a lost lamb. Please!” Long Chen lightly slammed his wine bowl with Mu Xue after he finished speaking and was completely drained.
“Come, the two beauties don’t stay idle. I’ll also toast to you two!” Long Chen picked up another wine bowl and gestured to the other two young girls.
“Ah, I’m not that good at drinking. If I get drunk, you have to protect me!” The young girl who had combed Long Chen’s hair said shyly. However, the passion in her eyes was very bold.
Long Chen laughed. “Don’t worry. There are so many brothers protecting you here. Even if the sky falls, someone will help you carry them!”
Mu Xue’s beautiful eyes flashed with an undetectable sense of loss and loss. Long Chen was intentionally keeping a distance from them and pretended that he didn’t understand their joke.
However, Mu Xue didn’t express anything and quietly retreated back to her seat. She watched Long Chen drinking and punching the crowd, and even cursed them a few times.
Mu Xue quietly looked at this man. She felt that this man was very different from the others, but his performance was so ordinary that it was thought-provoking.
Everyone had drunk too much that night, even Long Chen had lied down. It had been a long time since he had had such a happy drink.
The next morning, everyone was full of energy again. After all, they were cultivators. That little bit of wine could not affect their strong physiques.
After packing their bags, they prepared to return on the same path. But after walking for a while, Zhang Wu suddenly said, "Long Chen, do you think we should kill the other beast along the way?"
Long Chen’s heart skipped a beat at this suggestion, because today, Long Chen discovered that the small trees in the Primal Chaos Dimension had grown quite a bit. Their height had reached more than 500 feet and could already provide a portion of Long Chen’s life force.
Although his life force was still very minute, he couldn’t hold on for much longer. There were more than a hundred of them. Every day, they provided Long Chen with a considerable amount of life force.
If there was another Xiantian level corpse, then it would be even more perfect, allowing the small tree in the Primal Chaos Dimension to grow even faster.
But to let everyone take the risk for his own benefit, Long Chen felt a bit sorry.
"Long Chen, how about we give it a try?" Mu Xue said, eager to give it a try.
After all, a Xiantian beast’s crystal core was an expensive luxury. Regardless of whether it was refining pills or forging weapons, they were both rare and valuable treasures.
As mercenaries, they usually didn’t have any suitable missions, so they would go around hunting magical beasts in exchange for cultivation resources.
"What kind of magical beast is that?" Long Chen asked.
“It’s an Iron Feathered Horned Hawk. It was discovered last year that it was at the early stage of the Xiantian realm!” Mu Xue said.
This time, Mu Xue didn’t beat around the bush. After all, there was the example of a subterranean spider, letting her know that magical beasts could evolve.
Although magical beasts would only advance once in decades, or even hundreds of years, there was no room for negotiation if someone was unlucky enough to drink water.
"This is even more difficult to deal with than a hidden spider?" Long Chen said with a frown.
The Underground Spider was a dark attributed magical beast, and it wasn’t known for its offensive power. It was known for its ability to escape, and when it was hunting, it would sneak into the ground.
However, the Iron Feathered Horned Eagle was different. It was a flying magical beast, and its size was much larger than the spider’s. Moreover, its wings were as fast as lightning.
Currently, Long Chen was still in the Meridian Condensation period and had already strengthened his meridians more than thirty times. Long Chen discovered that his meridians had not reached the saturation point and could only continue strengthening them.
But when he thought of the enormous body of the Iron Feathered Horn Hawk, Long Chen felt an itch in his heart, but he still found himself in a difficult position.
“Why don’t you let me try by myself?” Mu Xue asked.
Long Chen understood her meaning. She wanted to fight the Iron Feathered Horned Hawk alone. If she couldn’t beat it, he could still escape.
“I’ll accompany you then!” Long Chen decided in the end to follow Mu Xue and take a look.
Even though Long Chen’s cultivation was the lowest, everyone was extremely respectful of him. No one had any objections and they all walked forward.
After walking for half a day, a cliff appeared in front of them. What Long Chen didn’t expect was that this Iron Feathered Horn Hawk was different from ordinary flying beasts. It didn’t even build a nest. It just dug a huge hole at the bottom of the cliff.
Looking at that huge hole, he knew that this Iron Feathered Horn Hawk’s body was definitely frightening.
“All of you can stay here and watch, please don’t come over!”
Long Chen left them at the top of a mountain, where they could see the cave of the Iron Feathered Horn Hawk from afar.
When Long Chen and Mu Xue arrived in front of the Iron Feathered Horn Hawk’s cave, they actually didn’t discover any pressure.
“This Iron Feathered Horned Hawk isn’t at home. It must have gone out to look for food.” Long Chen said.
“Then what should we do?” Mu Xue couldn’t help but be taken aback.
“This is a good thing. Let’s take this opportunity to set up a trap. That will save us more effort!” Long Chen chuckled.
Long Chen loved setting up traps, especially in the Iron Feathered Horned Hawk’s nest. It was a perfect trap.
"Phew!"
Suddenly, the sky darkened and a giant figure appeared above the two of them. A powerful pressure swept out in all directions.
“T-there’s no need to arrange anything. The main character is back!” Long Chen spread out his hands and dodged to the side, leaving the battlefield for Mu Xue.
The current Long Chen was not suitable for intense combat. If he left a flaw in his meridians, then that would be a lifetime’s worth of regret. Long Chen did not dare to take the risk.
Bang.
Suddenly, with an explosive sound, a huge figure landed on the ground. To Long Chen and Mu Xue’s surprise, it was also a flying magical beast. However, it was only a Rank 5. It was a hundred Zhang long and had already fainted.
From the looks of it, it was the Iron Feathered Horn Hawk’s prey that was brought back to the cave to enjoy. Now that it saw someone invading its territory and leaving its prey behind, it flapped its wings and charged straight at Mu Xue.
Chapter 547 - Soy Sauce Is Not Easy to Fight
.
The Iron Feathered Horn Hawk spread its five hundred meter long wings, and like a giant blade that split the sky, it swooped down towards Mu Xue. Its imposing manner was astonishing.
Because its body was too huge, in front of it, Mu Xue was like an ant, appearing so insignificant.
However, the only thing that made Long Chen feel at ease was that the Iron Feathered Horned Hawk was still at the early stage of the Xiantian realm and hadn’t advanced.
Moreover, although the Iron Feathered Horn Hawk was a Xiantian level magical beast, its bloodline was not pure. The bloodline left behind by the Old Ancestor was becoming thinner and thinner, so even stepping into the Xiantian realm would be difficult for this later generation of Iron Feathered Horn Hawks.
Magical beasts paid more attention to bloodlines than cultivators, but bloodlines were not limitless. If there were no ancestral bloodlines in a hundred generations, then after a hundred generations, the bloodlines would drop a rank.
And if the ancestral bloodlines still did not appear even after a hundred generations, then the ancestral bloodlines would once again drop another grade, until this race completely disappeared under the abominable laws of elimination.
As for the Iron Feathered Horn Hawk, its bloodline was obviously impure, but its combat power was much stronger than non-offensive demonic beasts like the Underground Spiders.
Seeing the Iron Feathered Horn Hawk swooping down, Mu Xue channeled her Xiantian strength and prepared to meet it, even though she was only using her Xiantian strength at the start.
However, she had been at the peak of the Meridian Opening Realm for almost two years and had a certain level of control over the Xiantian power. Now that she had stepped into the Xiantian realm, she was even stronger than an average person.
“There’s no need to take the first blow head on!” Long Chen shouted.
The Iron Feathered Horned Eagle was still descending from the sky. Its huge body carried a tremendous amount of power. What were you trying to compete with it for? Wouldn’t you be suffering a loss if you watched this happen?
Hearing Long Chen’s words, Mu Xue’s heart stirred. When she saw the Iron Feathered Horned Hawk pouncing towards her, she was about to rush to her side. She hastily stepped forward and moved horizontally several hundred meters.
"Boom!"
The giant body of the Iron Feathered Horn Hawk fiercely crashed into the ground, causing the ground within hundreds of miles to tremble, as if an earthquake had occurred.
Mu Xue’s heart trembled. The impact was really ruthless. If she faced her opponent head on and endured such powerful force, she would very likely be injured. At the same time, she was also more and more impressed by Long Chen’s gaze.
To be able to see the strength of the Iron Feathered Horn Hawk with a single glance and also determine the strength of a single strike, his insight was truly too sharp.
What she didn’t know was that Long Chen and Meng Qi had been together for a long time, and Meng Qi had taught Long Chen a lot about magical beasts.
Although Long Chen felt that with Mu Xue’s strength, she might not lose a fight against it, but there was no need to take the risk of injury.
"Buzz!"
Just as the Iron Feathered Horn Hawk smashed into the ground, Mu Xue waved her long sword. A sword qi filled with Xiantian power slashed through the air towards the Iron Feathered Horn Hawk.
Bang.
The sword qi channeled the forces of heaven and earth, fiercely slashing the body of the Iron Feathered Horn Hawk. With an explosive sound, the Iron Feathered Horn Hawk was actually turned over and sent flying with all the feathers on the sky.
The mercenaries watching the battle from afar could not help but loudly cheer. Mu Xue’s sword was too powerful, it had actually knocked over a gigantic Xiantian magical beast. Her power was boundless.
Long Chen pursed his lips. She was a pretty girl, but her intelligence was worrying. The area of her sword qi was too large for it to cause any substantial harm. It was indeed impressive, but what was the use of it?
However, looking at the bird’s feathers all over the ground, Long Chen immediately understood. It was indeed useful, but its use was — — what was it used for?
If it was Long Chen, he would not have dispersed his power and instead would have focused his sword Qi at a single point, and stabbed it into the side of the Iron Feathered Horned Eagle.
With Mu Xue’s Xiantian strength, she should be able to stab out a deep cut. Although it wouldn’t injure the Iron Feathered Horned Hawk, it was still considered a wound, and it was better than nothing.
But at this time, Long Chen chose to shut his mouth. After all, every cultivator had their own choices. There was no absolute right or wrong, and they couldn’t presumptuously offer guidance.
"Screech!"
The Iron Feathered Horn Hawk was struck by Mu Xue’s sword and it let out a furious bird cry. The cry shook the sky and its enormous wings flew towards Mu Xue.
"Boom!"
Mu Xue’s sword slashed at the Iron Feathered Horn Hawk’s wings, causing an explosive sound. However, she was unable to block the berserk power of the Iron Feathered Horn Hawk and was sent flying.
However, the Iron Feathered Horn Hawk wasn’t in a good condition either. It was actually shaken by Mu Xue’s Xiantian strength and staggered. This was the terrifying thing about the Xiantian strength.
The power of the Half-Xiantian Realm referred to the energy circulating within one’s body. The power of the Xiantian Realm used the Qi of the Xiantian Realm to trigger the power of the Heavens and Earth. There was a qualitative difference between the two powers.
“It’s going to make a big move!” Long Chen suddenly reminded.
Just as Long Chen finished speaking, the Iron Feathered Horn Hawk suddenly emitted a red light from between its brows and charged towards Mu Xue.
Mu Xue hastily dodged and the red light flew close to Mu Xue.
"Boom!"
That ray of light directly collided into a stone cliff in the distance. The cliff that was thousands of feet thick was actually a hole that was dozens of feet in diameter. The force was extremely terrifying.
“It actually gave birth to a crystal bone!” Mu Xue couldn’t help but be shocked.
There was a certain chance for a Nascent Soul beast to take the form of a crystal and fuse it with the skull, imprinting its strongest attack on the skull. This was the so-called crystal bone.
There were two very harsh conditions for a magical beast to produce a crystal bone. The first was that this magical beast had an extraordinary existence in its ancestors. Only with powerful symbols in its bloodline would it be able to condense a crystal bone.
The fact that this Iron Feathered Horn Hawk could actually condense a crystal bone meant that its bloodline was not ordinary. It was just that its current generation had fallen.
As for the other harsh condition, even if the Xiantian realm magical beast had the bloodline runes, the chances of being able to produce the crystal bone were less than one in a thousand. That was also why the crystal bone was so rare.
The crystal bone was a very heaven-defying treasure. It was a natural weapon. Once it was refined, one could use their own strength to activate the runes on it to launch an attack.
This was a treasure that Xiantian realm experts yearned for even in their dreams. Back in the Nine Li Secret Realm, Han Tianyu had heaven-defying luck and obtained a crystal bone, but it was destroyed by Long Chen’s dragon scales.
At that time, Han Tianyu didn’t have any Xiantia nenergy to activate the crystal bone and needed to use his own blood essence to do so. He almost died due to lack of blood.
That crystal bone was powerful, but Han Tianyu’s master was too weak and was unable to display the strength that a crystal bone should possess.
The only thing that could unleash the power of the crystal bone was the Xiantian strength of the Xiantian realm experts. One had to know that the life runes that the magical beast had been brewing contained the strongest attack of its body.
However, a magical beast’s intelligence was extremely low. They didn’t have enough insights into the energy of the world, so it was not enough to bring out a tenth of the power of the crystal bone.
If a High Xiantian stage expert were to possess a crystal bone, it would be enough to sweep them away from their peers. Therefore, the crystal bone would drive countless other High Xiantian stage experts crazy.
Mu Xue was also an Xiantian realm expert and couldn’t help but be ecstatic. If she had the crystal bone as support, her Mu Xue Mercenary Group would sweep through the other mercenary groups and never need to be bullied again.
“When it is about to unleash its crystal bone attack, its eyes will turn purple. This is a sign of accumulating energy, so it’s very obvious. Pay attention!” Long Chen shouted.
Now that Long Chen didn’t have anything to do with him, he simply took out a chair and leisurely sat there, concentrating on instructing.
He never thought that Mu Xue’s luck would be so good that she would encounter a Crystal Bone Beast. This time, Mu Xue’s mercenary group could be considered to have struck gold.
"Boom, boom, boom …"
Explosions continuously rang out as Mu Xue’s body floated as the sword shadows flew up to attack with full strength. The discovery of the crystal bone made her extremely excited as the more she fought, the braver she became.
However, Long Chen really couldn’t stand it any longer. Why did you have to go all out when facing a magical beast? There were clearly several opportunities to severely injure it.
It was unknown whether it was because Mu Xue didn’t dare to greedily advance or if she simply didn’t know when to seize the opportunity to actually miss it, causing Long Chen to feel anxious.
But luckily, Mu Xue’s combat power was indeed strong. With the intense battle, her use of Xiantian power became more and more adept.
Long Chen was too lazy to look and continued to expand his meridians. An hour later, the meridians were fully expanded and Mu Xue was still engaged in a fierce battle.
"Is he planning on a prolonged battle?" Long Chen was speechless.
Long Chen’s fighting style was: To be able to kill with a single slash, he definitely won’t waste a second cut. This kind of fighting style would cause one to panic.
The mercenaries watching from afar felt like their blood was boiling. In Long Chen’s eyes, a boring battle was like a stunning war.
Long Chen didn’t want to waste any time. Within the chaotic space, the trees regained a sliver of their life force, and Long Chen began to extract life energy to heal his wounds.
Those wounds had mostly healed, but the will of the Heavenly Dao was still present on the tiny wounds. The constantly destroying Long Chen’s body required the use of his life force to expel them.
After so many days had passed, Long Chen’s injuries from the Heavenly Law had recovered to fifty percent. This caused Long Chen to feel very gratified.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, the space trembled and Long Chen’s heart trembled. At the same time, he heard Mu Xue’s alarmed cry, “Long Chen, be careful!”
He only saw a streak of red light rushing towards him. Long Chen couldn’t help but curse, “What business do you have with me if you want to beat you up?”
"Phew!"
Long Chen’s feet moved and he flew out. A ray of light directly collided with the resting area of Long Chen.
"Boom!"
Long Chen’s luxurious leather chair was instantly destroyed by the red light, and at the same time, it shattered the mountain behind him.
The sudden turn of events caused the spectators in the distance to be stunned. How did the Iron Feathered Horned Hawk suddenly set its sights on Long Chen when it was frantically fighting with Mu Xue?
The Iron-Feathered Horn Hawk didn’t kill Long Chen with its crystal bone attack. It let out an earth-shaking cry and flapped its wings. It actually abandoned Mu Xue and pounced towards Long Chen.
Mu Xue could not help but be alarmed. The Iron Feathered Horned Hawk’s speed was extremely fast, and she was too late to chase after it. She could not help but shout:
"Long Chen, run!"
The faces of the Mu Xue Mercenary Group’s members paled. Long Chen was still at the Meridian Condensation period and had yet to enter the Meridian Opening Realm. He would undoubtedly die fighting a Xiantian realm magical beast.
"Long Chen, run!"
Seeing Long Chen running towards them, the mercenaries couldn’t help but shout as if they were scared silly and didn’t move at all.
"Boom!"
The sharp beak of the Iron Feathered Horned Eagle flickered with a metallic lustre as it viciously pierced towards Long Chen with an air-piercing sound.
"Boom!"

With an explosive sound, the great earth shook greatly, and smoke and dust surged in all directions, as if a wave swallowed the mountains. Please search for the most complete one! Fastest novel updates
"Long Chen!"
Mu Xue cried out in surprise. She couldn’t help but be a bit dazed. She couldn’t understand why Long Chen didn’t dodge.
With Long Chen’s speed, dodging the attack of the Iron Feathered Horned Hawk wasn’t difficult at all. Could Long Chen have died just like that?
"What?"
As the dust settled, Mu Xue couldn’t believe her eyes. Long Chen was still there, and it hadn’t moved at all.
At this moment, Long Chen’s black hair was fluttering in the wind, and his expression was calm. He extended a large hand and placed it on top of a huge beak.
The Iron Feathered Horned Eagle was actually held down by Long Chen’s hand, and its huge head sunk deeply into the ground.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The Iron Feathered Horned Hawk was shocked and angry at the same time. It frantically struggled, but no matter how hard it tried, it couldn’t free itself from the dragon’s hand.
Whether it was Mu Xue or the mercenaries watching from the distance, all of them were stupefied. They couldn’t believe the scene in front of their eyes. The ratio was as if an ant had been holding down an elephant.
He had only extended his hand, yet he was actually unable to break free from the hold of a High Xiantian stage giant. What kind of power was this?
"You want to pinch a soft persimmon?"
Long Chen looked at the Iron Feathered Horned Hawk that was struggling with all its might, and revealed a cold smile. Long Chen looked at the Iron Feathered Horned Hawk that was struggling with all its might, and the corner of his mouth curled up into a sneer.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, the color of the Iron Feathered Horned Hawk’s eyes changed. Long Chen lifted his leg and heavily kicked the mouth of the Iron Feathered Horned Eagle.
"Boom!"
The head of the Iron Feathered Horn Hawk tilted, and the red light from the crystal bone attack struck the air, with no effect at all.
“Let’s go!”
Long Chen suddenly grabbed onto the giant hook of the Iron Feathered Horned Hawk, and as everyone stared dumbstruck, his hill-like body soared into the sky and swirled around Long Chen’s arm.
"Boom!"
The enormous body of the Iron Feathered Horn Hawk ferociously smashed onto the stone cliff at the side, causing an explosive sound to ring out. Half of the stone cliff crumbled and the Iron Feathered Horn Hawk tumbled out, flying straight towards Mu Xue, who had a stupefied expression.
“It’s time to behead them!” Long Chen shouted.
Mu Xue finally reacted. The Iron Feathered Horn Hawk had fainted for a short period of time after being thrown by Long Chen. This was a golden opportunity that was hard to come by.
Puff.
A sword light slashed onto the neck of the Iron Feathered Horn Hawk, causing blood to spurt out. However, Mu Xue’s attack had only cut off half of the huge neck of the Iron Feathered Horn Hawk.
The Iron Feathered Horn Hawk suddenly woke up from its unconscious state due to the intense pain. However, before it could do anything, Mu Xue’s second strike had already landed.
The second sword strike landed heavily on the wound. Finally, the sword strike broke the huge neck and fresh blood spurted out.
"Phew!"
The Iron Feathered Horned Eagle’s huge body disappeared, revealing Long Chen’s excited smile. “The head belongs to you, I’ll keep the body!”
The body of the Iron Feathered Horn Hawk fell into the black soil of the Primal Chaos Dimension. Blood flowed into the black soil, and Long Chen discovered that the trees were growing rapidly.
It seemed that the life of a magical beast with a strong physique was exuberant. The energy of this Iron Feathered Horn Hawk was actually more than ten times greater than that of a subterranean spider.
Looking at the crazily growing sapling, Long Chen was so excited that he was about to die. This was even faster than activating the Chaotic Bead.
“Long Chen, thank you!” Mu Xue put away the Iron Feathered Horn Hawk’s head at this moment and said somewhat excitedly.
This wasn’t an ordinary magical beast’s head, but a crystal bone, a treasure that would make anyone go crazy for it.
“Captain, you’re too polite, aren’t you? This is a fair share of the spoils. According to the volume, I have a huge advantage.” Long Chen laughed.
At this time, the mercenaries all ran over, all of them extremely excited.
“Long Chen, why is your strength so strong? Hurry up and tell me!” A young girl intimately held onto Long Chen’s arm as she said in a spoiled manner.
“Hehe, actually this isn’t difficult. As long as you can eat all the devils, you’ll have a body as strong as mine.” Long Chen said to the young girl.
"What is eating all the devils?" The girl asked curiously.
“It’s just eating all ten thousand types of magical beasts, like poisonous snakes, maggots, rats, spiders, etc. I want to eat every single one of them cleanly. Even if it’s bones, I can’t let them go. I’ll boil the soup to nourish the body …”
"Aiyah… So disgusting… Don’t say anymore, I’m not practicing! " The young girl let go of Long Chen and ran far away.
Especially when Long Chen mentioned spiders, the ferocious looking big guy from yesterday gave people goosebumps. When he thought of eating that thing, not to mention that young girl, even these men felt their stomachs churning.
“Alright, alright. This time thanks to Long Chen’s help, we’ve really made a huge profit. Once I refine the crystal bone, I’ll see who dares to look down on us in the mercenary world!” Mu Xue knew that Long Chen was intentionally spouting nonsense, so she changed the topic.
“Right, f * ck his grandmother, we’ve been bullied for too long. This time, we want to give them a resounding slap. Tell them that we’re no longer the old us!” One of the mercenaries cursed.
The other mercenaries were also very excited. It seemed like they were having a tough time of it, as they were also being pushed out of the mercenary world.
“Long Chen, why don’t you join our Mu Xue Mercenary Group as well? It’s great to have so many brothers and sisters with you!” Zhang Wu patted Long Chen’s shoulder.
“That’s right, that’s right. You can stay. If worse comes to worse, we two sisters will help you sleep!” A young girl held Long Chen’s arm as she resentfully said.
Hearing the young lady’s words, no matter how thick Long Chen’s face was, he couldn’t help but feel a little hot. Meanwhile, the mercenaries began to incessantly whistle like a wolf.
Although Long Chen knew it was just a joke, he still felt a bit embarrassed. He really liked the atmosphere in the mercenary group, but he couldn’t stay here any longer.
“Alright, alright. Both of you stop as soon as possible!” Seeing Long Chen’s awkward expression, Mu Xue couldn’t help but find it funny as she spoke to the two young girls.
“Alright, now that we have the crystal bones, let’s quickly leave. We still have more than half a month to go.”
“That’s right, wait!”
Long Chen suddenly thought of something and hastily looked around before dashing towards a mound of earth in the distance.
Everyone was baffled by Long Chen’s actions. They didn’t know what he wanted to do.
Long Chen ran towards the mound and pulled out a huge body from the mound. Only then did everyone remember that the Iron Feathered Horned Eagle had brought back a prey when it came back.
Everyone rushed over to help and dragged the magical beast out. They realized that the magical beast wasn’t dead yet, but it was on the verge of dying.
"Long Chen, do you want its crystal core?" Mu Xue asked.
“No, I want it to take us out. It’ll save us a lot of energy!” Long Chen said as he looked at the magical beast and examined its wounds.
"Take us out? "You know how to tame beasts?" Mu Xue was shocked.
"I do." Long Chen smiled faintly.
This made Mu Xue a little speechless. This Long Chen seemed to have a "slight understanding" of everything, but in reality, what he understood was not as simple as "slightly".
"This is a Class 5 Magical Beast — Frigid Water Crow. Although its battle prowess is average, it is extremely large and can take us away." Long Chen explained.
Long Chen examined the wounds of the Cold Water Crows and discovered that they were not severely injured, but their internal organs had been shattered. They must have been thrown by a horned eagle.
If there were no external injuries, it would be easy to handle. He took out a bottle of healing pills, dozens of them, and tossed them into the huge beak of the Cold Water Crows.
After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the Cold Water Crows’ bodies trembled slightly. Everyone was startled and quickly retreated a few steps. After all, they were all berserk magical beasts that could attack at any time. At the same time, they wanted to know how Long Chen tamed this magical beast.
The Cold Water Crows slowly opened their eyes. Seeing that they were surrounded by so many people, they struggled to get up. However, they were unsuccessful. Its injuries were severe.
"Your injuries are very severe. Even if we don’t kill you, you will still die. I will give you two options right now.
One is to cooperate with us and bring us out. I will heal your injuries, and once we arrive at our destination, I will let you go.
“Second, if you refuse to cooperate, we won’t kill you. However, you’ll die here and the other magical beasts will eat you up!” Long Chen said to the Frost Water Crow.
This left Mu Xue and the others dumbfounded. If you talk to it, can it understand you? Was he still a magical beast that could understand human speech?
What they didn’t know was that when Long Chen was speaking, he was using his soul force to control the Frigid Water Crows’ souls. Although they didn’t understand Long Chen’s words, they could understand what he meant.
Long Chen could have directly planted a slave seal on the Colourful Colourful Cold Crow, leaving it no place to fight back. However, Long Chen didn’t want to do that.
This was because once a slave seal was planted, the magical beast would wholeheartedly listen to Long Chen’s orders. He didn’t like this method.
After waiting for a while, the Colossal Water Crow, to the disbelief of the crowd, actually laid its huge head gently in front of Long Chen, motionless.
“I don’t need a soul imprint. I trust you.” Long Chen smiled and patted the Cold Water Crow with his large hand.
Long Chen could sense a strong desire to survive within the Frigid Water Crow’s heart. He didn’t want to die, so he chose to cooperate.
What Long Chen didn’t expect was that this Cold Water Crows seemed to be a relatively powerful magical beast. However, its bloodline had declined, and it actually knew something about the soul imprint.
The fact that he had subdued the Cold Water Crows with just a few words was already shocking enough. However, what happened next caused everyone to be even more surprised.
Long Chen had actually taken out a whole barrel of medicinal pellets. From the looks of it, there were at least several hundred of them. Furthermore, they were all high quality healing pellets.
These elixirs were not made by Long Chen. They were the spoils of war that he had collected from the Nine Li Secret Realm. To the current Long Chen, these ordinary high-grade elixirs were trash and nothing more.
He no longer needed any healing pills. As for the healing pills of the Dragon Blood Legion, they were all three Xuan pills. Long Chen didn’t need any of these ordinary healing pills.
After feeding the Frigid Water Crow a large amount of healing pills, Long Chen allowed them to rest. There was no need for them to rush on their way. If nothing went wrong, the Frigid Water Crow injuries would recover and they could slowly fly.
That night, everyone entered a state of cultivation but Long Chen was called out by Mu Xue alone.
