Indestructible Primordial Spirit
Pursue and kill Lu Buqi? Wang Weiwu would naturally not do such a thing. First, he looked down on it; second, he was unwilling.
More than ten days after receiving the news of Lu Bu's defeat, when Wang Chengzhou told Wang Weiwu about what had happened, Wang Weiwu did one thing - he rewarded Wang Chengzhou with 100,000 taels of silver as hard-earned money.
"If I don't even have this bit of trust, how could I possibly reuse you?" This was the reason why Wang Weiwu not only didn't punish him but instead rewarded him, which greatly moved Wang Chengzhou's heart, causing him to kneel down and thank him, with a thought in his mind that he would die for such a lord.
"Get up! From now on, just leave some room for yourself when speaking and acting!" Wang Wei Wu's eyes narrowed slightly: "Besides, this matter can't be blamed on you. This little demon was able to break through at the critical moment of life and death, which is also a testament to his luck not being exhausted. And at such a young age, he was able to withstand your blows, which also gives him the right to live."
Wang Anguo frowned and said, "Master of the house, does that mean... you're not going to send anyone after him?"
"What's the point of chasing? Even if it was this time, it would have been just a garrison exercise! Wang Wei said coldly: "Besides, is Dahong Mountain an easy place to attack?"
He paused, and Wang Wei Wu said with some nostalgia: "In the Great Flood Mountain, fifth- or sixth-grade spiritual beasts frequently appear. Even if it's you and Cheng Zhou, going solo would only give you a 50% chance of making it through. Even if he really could survive, would my great Wang family still be worried about revenge from a small Zé slave like him?"
Wang Anguo was silent, not speaking again. He didn't know that Wang Weiwu had been able to make it through the Great Flood Mountain in the Bone Resonance Realm back then because he had run into a noble person; otherwise, there wouldn't be the current Wang family.
Wang Wei Wu really has such a large number of troops? Obviously not possible, otherwise he would not have let the 20,000 private soldiers go to Dahongshan and Luchao Mountain to set up defenses. If Lu Buqi appeared in front of Wang Wei Wu now, he wouldn't mind trying out the terrifying power of Fa Wen again, killing Lu Buqi and truly eliminating his worries.
After Wang Anguo and Wang Chengzhou left, Wang Weiwu's expression finally turned gloomy: "A 15-year-old with Bone Resonance Realm, yet he can still escape from Chengzhou's hands... I seem to have really underestimated his potential!"
When Wang Wei Wu had some regrets, Lu Buqi had already truly entered the depths of Dahong Mountain. In these half months, his days were extremely exciting, and he encountered a fine beast every two days on average.
There were a few that weren't very powerful, and they were killed by Lu Buqi, turning into pale red heart cores, which should be low-ranking spirit beasts. However, there were three heads whose strength was almost on par with the Black Ape Ghost Tiger, and Lu Buqi could only defend himself. Fortunately, these high-level spirit beasts had higher intelligence than the lower-ranked ones and knew when to retreat. After a fierce battle, they didn't gain much advantage and feared Lu Buqi's Fish Intestine Sword, so they all retreated.
That afternoon, dark clouds surged in the sky above Dahong Mountain, and a summer storm was approaching. To avoid getting soaked like four days ago, Lu Bidou decided to find a cave to take shelter from the rain.
The thunder boomed, and in the torrential rain that was about to soak him to the bone, he finally found a cave he had spotted from the mountaintop half an hour ago.
This is a small valley, the terrain is relatively flat, and the grass and trees are lush. The cave is located on the waist of a steep cliff. Lu Bu didn't have the mood to carefully observe his surroundings, taking advantage of the momentum, he sprinted up several dozen feet to the entrance of the cave two zhang high on the cliff wall, and slipped inside.
As soon as he entered, Lu Buqi felt something was off, because he smelled a fishy smell... This smell only represented one situation, that this cave had an owner, and it was a reptile.
Just as Lu Buqi decided to leave, a strange and mournful howl came from outside the cave, the howl was filled with pain and eeriness, complementing the thunder in the sky, making people's hair stand on end.
Lu Buqi did not abandon the sound and looked away, but was shocked and changed color. This is absolutely the most bizarre thing Lu Buqi has seen in his past life. In the rain curtain with extremely low visibility, on the right side of the rock cave where Lu Buqi was located, about 30 meters away, there was a small pool, a snake-like dragon shadow swayed in the black rain, as if it wanted to rush into the sky, and its momentum was like a fish jumping over the Dragon Gate.
"A strange, mournful cry echoed again, making Lu Boyan's eardrums ache. The long, over 10-zhang shadow seemed to have exhausted its strength and fell down, crashing into the grass thicket in a curved motion."
Wiping the water stains from his face, Lu Buqi narrowed his eyes and looked at the creature rolling around in the grass, vaguely recognizing it as a giant pink snake as thick as a huge tree trunk, which two people could hardly wrap their arms around.
"This snake is absolutely more powerful than any of the fine beasts I've seen before!" Lu Buqi swallowed hard: "I don't know if I'm lucky or unlucky..."
Just as Lu Buqi saw the color and outline of the giant snake, the giant snake's crystal-clear eyes also stared at Lu Buqi.
"Hiss……" The red snake did not attack Lu Buqi, but instead twisted its body, the thick and long snake tail fiercely lashing at the water pool, splashing water mixed with rainwater, forming a tragic and beautiful picture of fate's struggle.
"It's molting... a giant snake that's molting?" Lu Buqi tightened his grip on the Fish Intestine Sword in his hand, although he didn't know much about snakes, but he also understood that a snake that was molting was absolutely at its weakest.
"Now's the time to kill it!" Lu Buqi pinched the tip of his nose, looking at its physique and aura. This red snake was at least a seventh or eighth rank spirit beast, and its core would be a huge fortune.
More importantly, killing it would also eliminate one of the dangers on his path. Lu Bu didn't want to wait until he had gone far before this snake came to replenish its energy by eating him.
Thinking of this, Lu Buqi jumped down decisively and walked slowly towards the red snake, with Yu Changjian flashing a menacing cold light in the lightning.
It seemed that even the heavens did not want such a powerful creature to continue growing, and at this time, a blinding flash of lightning struck down. Lu Buqi watched with his eyes wide open as the giant snake's suddenly upright body was struck by lightning, and with a loud crackling sound, it fell to the ground, accompanied by the thunder that had just exploded.
"Hiss......" The giant snake's body, which had already shed a third of its length, stubbornly lifted up, its eyes coldly scanning Lu Buqi before gazing towards the horizon and letting out a reluctant hiss.
At the point of exhaustion, the giant snake's head drooped down again, spewing out a turbid white gas, its eyes fixed tightly on Lu Bodi, but its body was still struggling to move.
Lu Buqi stopped in his tracks, and at that moment, he saw the kind of perseverance and unwillingness to yield that the giant snake had shown when it was fighting against the sky, Lu Buqi thought of himself.
At this moment, the few hints of unwillingness and pleading in the giant snake's eyes made Lu Buqi's heart surge. In his mind, he flashed back to the moment when Wang Chengzhou's giant hammer fell, and that moment was so similar to the situation with this giant snake now.
Sheathing the Fish Intestine Sword, Lu Buqi's eyes gleamed as he stared at the giant snake and muttered: "Red Snake, I won't take advantage of your weakness to kill you. Unyielding living beings should have more chances to survive... However, if you survive this calamity and come looking for trouble with me, I'll fight to the death and behead you!"
What made Lu Buqi extremely astonished was that when he retreated a few steps, the red snake seemed to understand his words and blinked its transparent eyelids, and its eyes became gentle.
Since the decision was made, Lu Fei no longer hesitated, tightened his package, and continued to move forward in the rain, braving the thorns and thistles. This rain would at least last for half a day, so since he didn't plan on killing the red snake, he might as well take this opportunity to get far away from it - after all, that thing was just too dangerous.
This rainstorm lasted longer than Lu Buqi had imagined, until the next morning when it finally stopped. Lu Buqi didn't sleep all night because he really couldn't find a place more suitable than that snake cave.
Fortunately, the soil in Dahong Mountain is relatively solid, and even if it rains heavily like a hole in the sky, there won't be any mudslides or landslides. Occasionally, there will be small mountain floods that resemble small rivers, which require Lu Nian to be careful when crossing them.
Soaked in the rain all night, Lu Buqi was exhausted and hungry. He couldn't help but think of yesterday's scene and let out a wry smile: "You're also soft-hearted, if you had killed that snake, I reckon we'd have eaten our fill and be sleeping soundly by now..."
"But I don't know if the snake shed its skin successfully? If it failed because of being struck by lightning, that's really bad luck!" Lu Buqi muttered to himself: "After such a big rain, there is no shortage of water, but the fire can't be lit, and we have to eat raw food again..."
