Chapter Sixty: The Gathering of Dark Spirits and the Assembly of Ferocious Beasts
"Damn viper! She's actually left the hunting grounds! But before she did, she somehow dispelled the Spiritual Snake Formation!" Chu Cheng's face changed color.
But then he broke into a smile, overjoyed.
"Venomous snake, you scheme everything, but how could you not have thought that for me now, those prey can only be prey, even if they gather together, form a gang and huddle together, they will never become the hunter!"
However, Chu Cheng did not immediately take action, but suddenly disappeared from here.
The Ling Snake Illusion Array has shrouded the hunting grounds for so long, he didn't believe that the hunting grounds wouldn't take any action!
As expected, at this time outside the hunting ground, Huang Jin's face was gloomy.
As soon as the Ling Snake Illusory Array was lifted, he immediately swept his divine sense across the entire hunting ground. After a full incense stick of time, having scanned the entire hunting ground, he didn't discover anything!
This is what's abnormal!
Huang Jin would immediately realize that something he didn't know about must have happened in the hunting ground. And the person who did this thing had already gone beyond his control, which was a terrible thing.
Then he seized and captured several prey in a row, brutally torturing and interrogating them, but nothing came out of it!
Finally, he cast his eyes on Chucheng, the only hunter still in the hunting ground, and also the person whom the venomous snake wanted to frame before leaving!
What is a poisonous snake?
The poisonous snake is the granddaughter of the King of Snakes, and she was the one who directed this whole thing, setting up the spiritual snake formation, and leaving at the critical moment. And she, apparently suffered a loss in Chu Cheng's hands, at least made an enemy of Chu Cheng, so she would frame him.
So there's no doubt that Chucheng must have known something about this!
He had a mind to ask for instructions from the Hunting King, but the Hunting King was too lazy to bother with him and only threw down one sentence.
"Hunting is the only thing that's going on as usual, everything else is up to you!"
Then the Hunting King went into seclusion. Although it wasn't a death seclusion, he had lent his courage to Huang Jin's ghost general, and he didn't dare disturb him. That would be simply seeking death.
The golden egg is going to be painful.
And so the hunt continued alone.
However, Huang Jin's eyes shone brightly with a sharp light, and he secretly made plans in his heart.
If Chu Cheng is still alive when the hunt is over, he must catch him, interrogate him and get to the bottom of everything!
Of course, Chu Cheng must survive too!
Temple of Shadows
The highest functional department of the Temple of Yin is the Council of Elders.
In general, there is an elder on duty who is responsible for the general affairs of the Yin God Temple. If a major event occurs, three elders must discuss and decide together.
And if it is a matter of life and death, then all twelve elders must be present at the same time.
However, there are only five elders in the Temple of Yin now. The rest have all died, and they all died miserably in these few days.
Eleven elders and ten elders, who were originally guarding the corner of the arena, ended up being killed by a poisonous snake, with no bones left.
Jiǔ Zhǎnglǎo intended to launch a surprise attack on Fenghuo Liancheng, but was beheaded by him and died unjustly.
Eight Elders were killed by two men from the Seventh Treasure Realm, one tall and one short, who joined forces to slaughter them, leaving them no chance to fight back.
Seven elders were alone outside and were surrounded and killed by a wild youth with ferocious beasts.
Six Elders were hunted down by several powerful Qi Refiners of the Seven Treasures Realm, and after being severely injured, they managed to escape. However, on the second day, due to their severe injuries, they met their demise.
Wu Changlao was killed by his own people. He was poisoned to death by the twelve elders.
In just a few days, the twelve elders were reduced to five.
The First Elder, The Second Elder, The Third Elder, The Fourth Elder, The Twelve Elders.
"Despicable! What are you trying to do? You actually killed the Five Elders, are you rebelling?" The irascible Second Elder slammed his hand on the table and jumped up.
He had the best relationship with the five elders, usually having meat to eat together, wine to drink together, and girls to play with. In this hunting ground like a deserted island, they went through thick and thin together, almost becoming sworn brothers.
"What have I done? Hmph! You also have the qualifications to come and judge me, interrogate me? When I became an elder, you hadn't even been born yet! Don't look at me like that, or else I'll poison you to death as well!" The venomous aura emanating from him was more than double what it was when he fought against Chu City.
If it's said that a few days ago he was the weakest elder, then now, apart from the Great Elder, in terms of cultivation, everyone else is inferior to him.
So in the past, he was best at endurance. But now, he is extremely arrogant.
"Poisonous, I don't know what method you used to take away the Five Elders' entire cultivation. But now is the moment of life and death for our Yin God Temple, we must unite together, it's best if you don't stir up more trouble." The Great Elder said calmly.
This great elder was shrouded in thick fog, and no one could see his true face. His strength was just like his face, and no one could see it clearly.
A faint glimmer of apprehension flashed across his venomous face.
However, thinking of his trump card, he regained his confidence and sneered: "I'm old, I don't like fighting and killing. As long as you don't provoke me, I won't strike a fatal blow."
It's clear that he only said he wouldn't kill with his own hands, but didn't say he wouldn't make a move. And if someone provokes him, he will definitely take drastic measures.
"You..." The Second Elder was furious.
"All right, don't make a fuss. Let's talk about the present situation instead. Everyone has heard the venomous snake's words, what do you all think?" said the Grand Elder.
"What's there to say? Just go and wipe out that whatever Chu Sheng, search him from head to toe, and that's it!" The Second Elder blurted out in a huff.
He now just wants to go out and have a good fight to release the pent-up energy in his chest.
"Hmph! Barbarian! That's just the venomous words of a snake family, can you be sure it's trustworthy? Are you certain that Chu Sheng's body really has many treasures?" Coldly sneered in a low, poisonous tone.
"Do you think I'm a fool? Chu Sheng is just a teenager from the Chu Sheng district, with low cultivation, yet he's managed to survive until now. Do you think he doesn't have any treasures on him? Even the venomous snake seems to have been outsmarted by him! Who is Venomous Snake? I'm not even sure if I can defeat her!" The Second Elder said disdainfully.
"You? You compared to a venomous snake? Hehe, just the Hundred-Year Red Viper on the snake's body can swallow you whole!" Coldly sneered.
"You..." The Second Elder's anger burned.
Two people, you one sentence I one sentence, a war of words. While others, all silent, just watching the joke.
Ferocious beast's nest.
In the deepest part of the nest, ten Seven Treasure Realm ferocious beasts were coiled within.
Among them, a bare-chested young man sat cross-legged, his vital energy like a pillar, his blood and breath boiling.
Suddenly, his vital energy subsided, and the young man slowly stood up.
"What's wrong?" A monkey scratched its ears and cheeks, jumping up and down.
This is a rare white-haired Snow Ape, with innate bloodline no less than the Iron-Backed Python, and it was already at the Seven Treasures Realm as soon as it was born.
He is only five years old and has a lively personality. However, he is extremely powerful and ranks among the top three in the Beast's Nest.
"It's done. The ninth drop of Blood Essence has finally been successfully refined. Just one more step and I can refine the nine drops of Blood Essence into a Blood Diamond, entering the ranks of the absolute geniuses." The young man's voice was hoarse, but full of excitement.
"This step is indeed very difficult, one step out is a difference between heaven and earth. However, Dong Ling discarded you, but you are still young, with several years of time to accumulate. When you reach the age of ten or nearly twenty, break through the shackles and fly up to the sky!" An old dog said in a low voice, pulling its face down.
This dog looks ordinary to the extreme, and in fact it is just an ordinary dog. However, it has obtained great opportunities and embarked on a path of cultivation.
Although he was not naturally gifted, his cultivation time was long enough, and even surpassed the poisonous ones. So his strength was also strong enough, and he was the strongest in the entire hunting ground, the only White Silver Treasure Bone!
"Of course! Dong Ling has abandoned his natural talent, and with the strong backing of the Mountain and Sea Realm, he will surely soar to great heights! What's difficult about being a mere peerless genius?" The monkey said disdainfully.
This guy is also a natural-born talent, casually cultivating and surpassing others who have been practicing for ten years. So he's extremely arrogant, not putting any fierce beasts in his eyes. Only Dong Lingyi, with his exceptional innate talent, barely entered his line of sight.
So his relationship with Dong Ling is even better than with other fierce beasts.
"Perhaps. I only now understand why condensing a Blood Diamond can be called an unparalleled genius. Because this step is truly too difficult, even more so than my journey of cultivating up to nine drops of Blood Essence! However, I will definitely break through!" Dong Ling was full of confidence.
"Hmm, you will. Now, what we need to do is gather our forces, bathe the entire hunting ground in blood, converge endless killing intent and death aura, activate the 'Life and Death Shattering Void Great Array', leave this place, and go seek out that Mountain Sea Realm senior!" The old dog's eyes shone with a sharp light.
Life and Death Shattering Void Great Formation?
Everyone is excited.
This so-called "Life and Death Breaking Void Great Array" was actually passed down to Dong Lingxi by that Mountain Sea Boundary fierce beast expert behind his back. In fact, Dong Lingxi entering this hunting ground was a long-planned scheme, with the goal of taking out all the fierce beasts here!
Not to mention anything else, the extremely talented Iron Muscle Python and White-Haired Snow Monkey must be taken out.
Although the iron python is dead, which of these ferocious beasts does not want to leave this place?
Leave this devilish place and go to a wider outside world, right in front of you!
A dense thicket of trees, two people of different heights walking slowly side by side.
Suddenly, the voice of the venomous snake rang out.
The two of them stopped in their tracks instantly.
"Five hunters died, three? The venomous snake is also going to leave? So, in this hunting ground, there's only one hunter left, Chu Sheng? And the venomous snake has revealed Chu Sheng's location?" The tall man frowned: "Duoming, can we trust what the venomous snake said?"
"Believable!" The short man, known as the life-taker, nodded and said: "It seems that there is a great conflict between the venomous snake and Chu Sheng! However, these are none of our concern. What's important is that we've finally found out where Chu Cheng is hiding, and now we can kill him!"
"That's right! We can finally complete Young Master's task!" The tall and thin soul chaser was somewhat excited: "Let's go!"
The entire hunting ground, all living and dead creatures, were stirred up.
Because of the poisonous snake's words, they all came towards Chu City.
