The Xu family follows Taoism and seeks longevity

There are a large number of earth-attributed monsters living in the "Liuyun Desert". No matter when and where, there will be strange roars of beasts, which is not worthy of his attention.

Because he has been flying in it for several days, from the initial surprise and caution, to now he has become numb.

But the roar of the beast just now made him feel extraordinary. If he guessed correctly, it should have come from a fourth-level monster. This is worthy of attention, because this is the first fourth-level monster he encountered in the "Liuyun Desert".

More importantly, he heard some unusual information from the roar of the beast, which seemed to be anger and a little excitement.

He guessed that this monster was either hunting or fighting with other monsters, and judging from the fact that there was only one roar, the one fighting with it was most likely a cultivator.

According to the information he got from the map he bought, the fourth-level monsters in the "Liuyun Desert" all have a large oasis as their territory and habitat.

As he was traveling through this area where Jindan monks and fourth-level monsters were rampant, he also needed to find a foothold, and then use this foothold as the center to search for the "Spirit Mist Pearl" in all directions.

He had actually been searching for more than a day but hadn't found it, so he would not miss this good opportunity.

Thinking of this, he dodged and flew towards the place where the beast roared at a high speed.

However, the more he flew, the more solemn his expression became, because in this "Flowing Cloud Desert", although his flying speed was slowed down by the flying yellow sand, he could still fly a hundred miles in a quarter of an hour.

At the beginning, he thought that the place where the beast roared was only two or three hundred miles away from him, but unexpectedly, he flew for half an hour but still did not see the shadow of the monster.

This couldn't help but make him wonder, because a monster that could roar four or five hundred miles away was definitely not something that an ordinary fourth-grade low-quality monster could do. According to the information he had, this could only be done by a monster that was close to the fifth grade.

If it were in the outside world, even if he really encountered a fifth-level monster, Xu Zhiyu might be able to deal with it with his newly acquired thunder ability, but in this "Liuyun Desert", he really didn't dare to be careless.

Although lightning spells are extremely powerful in attack, it does not mean that there is no nemesis. The most powerful element that can restrain thunder is the wood attribute, followed by the earth attribute. The former is not conductive, and the latter has strong defense.

In addition, since he was playing away from home, if he really encountered a fifth-order low-grade monster here, he would have to be extra careful.

Just like that, after he had flown out for six hundred miles, he finally sensed the fluctuations of the battle and heard the monks' curses.

When he got closer again, an oasis appeared within the range of his spiritual sense. Here, the suppression of his spiritual sense was not so strong, and it recovered to a distance of about fifty miles.

However, even though he had recovered some of his spiritual power, he still couldn't measure how big this oasis was. According to common sense, since it was favored by a fourth-level monster and became a habitat, the area of ​​this oasis should not be small.

"It would be great if I could kill the fourth-level monster entrenched in this oasis. Then I would have a place to stay. Otherwise, wandering around aimlessly like this will not work.

Not only is it unsafe, but it is also easy to run into other fourth-level monsters or monks."

Just as he was standing at the edge of the oasis thinking, the fourth-level monster occupying the oasis instantly discovered its existence and attacked him directly.

If an ordinary cultivator faced this almost sneak attack, even if he would not be injured, he would inevitably be in a panic. However, Xu Zhiyu was different. He was not an ordinary cultivator.

When the monster discovered him and was about to attack, he had already noticed it and was prepared.

Originally, he planned to wait until the monsters and cultivators had fought each other before coming out to take advantage, but now he can only fight passively.

The monster's attack came with more than a dozen extremely sharp, ochre-colored spikes, several dozen feet long. They suddenly emerged from the ground and headed straight for him.

Xu Zhiyu waved his right hand, and instantly a lightning magic power condensed into a javelin. Then, with a thought, he rushed towards the earth spear that was flying towards him, directly confronting it with his spear tip.

"boom!"

When the khaki spikes and the lightning javelin collided with each other, a huge explosion occurred. Judging from the effects, Xu Zhiyu's lightning spell was slightly better.

After the explosion, some of his lightning magic javelin remained and did not dissipate, but the opponent's spikes dissipated into countless yellow sands, floating all over the sky.

After receiving the next attack, he did not launch a counterattack immediately. Instead, he expanded his spiritual sense to guard his surroundings while beginning to observe the movements on the battlefield.

On the battlefield, a sixth-level Jindan cultivator wearing a yellow robe was manipulating four or five high-level magical instruments and was fighting fiercely with a fourth-level, top-quality monster.

The monster looked like a lion but not a lion, and a leopard but not a leopard. Its khaki fur was covered with black spots. The most amazing thing was that under the ribs of the monster, there was a pair of fleshy wings growing on the left and right.

"It's strange, this monster doesn't seem to be recorded in the jade slips. It looks like a 'black and yellow mane lion', but also like a 'purple cloud thunder leopard'. It's a complete mess.

Oh, by the way, in zoos on Earth, there have been lion-leopard hybrids or leopard-lion hybrids, so was this guy also produced in this way?
If this is true, then we cannot kill this hybrid fourth-level monster. It is more cost-effective to capture it alive.

But we still have to give it a name, otherwise how to call it? Let's call it "Spotted Winged Thunder Lion", which can be regarded as a concentration of all its characteristics and specialties."

What Xu Zhiyu didn't know was that this "spotted-winged thunder lion" was indeed the offspring of a male 'black-and-yellow mane lion' and a female 'purple-cloud thunder leopard' after passionate intercourse.

Its pair of fleshy wings are the result of mutation; this feature does not exist on either the mother or father.

This newly generated flesh wing plays a huge role, allowing the "Spotted-Winged Thunder Lion" to gain the ability to fly at the second stage.

However, at that time it could only glide with the help of wind. It was not until it became a third-level monster that it could truly fly freely.

It was with the help of this pair of flesh wings that it was able to grow rapidly, and then drive away the former fourth-level demon king who originally lived in this oasis, thus dominating this place.

In Xu Zhiyu's opinion, the battle between humans and demons was basically about to be decided. The human cultivators were originally slightly inferior in cultivation, and they were not fighting at home, so they were now clearly defeated and could only rely on the few fourth-tier magic weapons in their hands to hold on.

Since the "Spotted-Winged Thunder Lion" did not take the initiative to attack him, he was willing to sit on the mountain and watch the fight. It would not be too late for him to take action after this human cultivator was killed.

As for the idea of ​​rescuing the sixth-level Jindan cultivator, it did not even occur to him. He was already a man of high moral character to be able to bear the pain of adding insult to injury. He still remembered that when he bought the map, because of his generosity, the shopkeeper specially called him aside and gave him some advice.

One of the most important things is not to be too compassionate. No matter if you are encountering people killing people or monsters killing monsters, avoid it if you can and hide if you can. Wait until you are sure it is safe before you go up to touch the corpse or take advantage of the situation.

When you see someone who can still move, no matter whether he is a human or a monster, the first thing you need to do is to finish him off until he is completely dead.

He took these words to heart and acted accordingly these days, and as expected, he rarely encountered any trouble.

However, his attitude of staying out of the matter made the Jindan cultivator in the yellow robe very angry, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.

Then he moved and pretended to be kind and reminded Xu Zhiyu:
"Fellow Daoist, be careful. This evil beast is a hybrid of the 'Black and Yellow Maned Lion' and the 'Purple Cloud Thunder Leopard'. In addition to inheriting the excellent blood of its parents, it has also grown a pair of flesh wings and possesses lightning magic. It is very difficult to deal with, so you must be careful!"

These words sounded like a reminder to him, but in fact, they were actually a subtle suggestion to join forces with him to deal with the monster.

If it were a cultivator who had never experienced the world, he might really be fooled by him and join him in fighting the monster.

However, Xu Zhiyu did not make any comment on this, because he could be considered a veteran in the world of immortal cultivation, and this trick was enough to deal with a young man who was just starting out.

However, since the other party wanted to plot against him, he would not sit still. With a turn of his eyes, a plan came to his mind, and he said loudly:
"Thank you for your reminder, I am in Wenfang Nanshan now. If we can meet again in the future, I will definitely repay you for your kindness. However, I am sorry that I am too weak to participate in today's event."

After he finished speaking, lightning flashed on his body, and he directly used his escape technique to fly away from the battlefield.

His cowardly act of fleeing without a fight stunned the yellow-robed monk, who then started to curse:
"You cowardly rat, you are so timid. I have misjudged you. Don't let me run into you again, or you will be in trouble."

Hearing the shouting and cursing coming from behind, Xu Zhiyu didn't care at all, and even fought back while flying:
"My friend, let's not talk about the future, let's focus on the present. Just like you said, this beast is not easy to deal with. You should focus on fighting it, otherwise you might die if you are not careful."

The yellow-robed Jindan behind him originally wanted to say something, but the "Spotted-Winged Thunder Lion" fighting against him did not have so much patience and directly launched a more fierce attack on him.

After Xu Zhiyu used Thunder Escape to escape from the battlefield, he did not really leave. He just flew out of the detection range of the man and the demon's spiritual sense. Then he restrained his breath, lurked in a secret place in the oasis, and waited patiently.

Judging from what he observed, unless the yellow-robed monk had some powerful trump card in his hand, he would be able to reverse the situation. Otherwise, defeat and death were only a matter of time.

In the 'Liuyun Desert', being injured is basically equivalent to death, because once the body is injured, the corrosive force of the yellow sand will become more severe, just as the saying goes, a weasel only bites a sick duck.

The facts were pretty much as he expected. After seeing him flee from the battlefield, the yellow-robed monk had no choice but to continue fighting with the monster, but in the end he was defeated and seriously injured.

However, the cultivators who were able to go deep into this place still had some trump cards on them. This Jindan cultivator was no exception. He directly took out a small teleportation talisman and activated it, and instantly appeared thousands of miles away.

This made the "Spotted-Winged Thunder Lion" who had been fighting with him very angry. It really couldn't understand how the prey that was right in front of it could disappear in an instant.

But since the enemy had already run away, it could do nothing but roar as if declaring victory.

Knowing that the battle was over, Xu Zhiyu moved and flew towards the battlefield again. It was time to end the battle completely.

Just like last time, as soon as Xu Zhiyu arrived near the battlefield, the "Spotted-Winged Thunder Lion" discovered his whereabouts accurately through some unknown reconnaissance method, and then attacked him angrily.

But Xu Zhiyu is not that yellow-robed monk. He has killed fourth-order high-quality spirit beasts and several late-stage Jindan monks. Would he be afraid of a fourth-order high-quality demon beast? Even if it has mutated, it has not reached the fifth-order level, right?

He did not use any other means, but just rubbed out dozens of head-sized thunder balls with his hands and shot them towards the "Spotted-Winged Thunder Lion".

This trick of his is proven to be very effective when dealing with some huge monsters with single means.

When he was returning from searching for the Dark Thunderbird bones, he had fought many battles with huge sea beasts.

Those guys swam very fast in the sea, and ordinary means of attack were difficult to be effective. He used hand-rubbed thunder balls to deal with them, which made those guys scream.

This time was no exception. Although the "Spotted-Winged Thunder Lion" once again used khaki spikes and blue thunder magic to try to resist his thunder ball attack, it failed without exception.

All these thunder balls poured onto the huge body of the "Spotted-Winged Thunder Lion", but this guy was worthy of being an earth-attributed spiritual beast, and his defensive ability was indeed outstanding. He actually withstood this wave of attacks and was not seriously injured.

After the two sides fought for nearly half an hour, the "Spotted-Winged Thunder Lion" was finally beheaded by the thunder sword conjured up by his magic power.

Originally, because he saw that the other party was a strange beast, he was prepared to accept it as a spiritual beast, but it refused to obey, and in the end he had no choice but to raise the butcher knife.

After killing the "Spotted-Winged Thunder Lion" with one sword, Xu Zhiyu's first thing was to step forward and extract the beast's soul.

This monster possesses the bloodline of the 'Black-Maned Lion' and the 'Purple Cloud Thunder Leopard', and its own strength is quite extraordinary. Using its beast soul to refine weapons is a very good choice.

After extracting the beast soul, Xu Zhiyu began to deal with the body of the "Spotted-Winged Thunder Lion".

Scars are inevitable in battle, so the fur of the "Spotted-Winged Thunder Lion" is not very complete, but there are many intact places. It can be used to make fourth-level talisman paper, or to refine inner armor, both are good choices.

As for the animal meat, Xu Zhiyu did not bring it with him because he did not like to eat it, and there were no other spiritual beasts around him, so what was the point of taking it back?

However, he did take off all the animal bones and fangs and put them into the storage ring. These are good materials for refining weapons.

Although he himself does not know how to refine weapons, he can ask other weapon refiners to help.

After completely dismembering the body of the "Spotted-Winged Thunder Lion", he began to search for other precious spiritual objects in this oasis. (End of this chapter)
