Dragon Devouring Cultivation

Chapter 119 Conspiracy
Li Zhen leaned against the tree trunk, with a branch as thick as his arm under his feet, hidden by the tree canopy. He was wearing a full set of black robes with a mask, which he obtained in the ancient cultivation world. It had the effect of hiding his own aura.

He wears an 'Invisible Black Jade' around his waist, which makes him invisible in the dark.

He did this because he didn't want to get into trouble at night.

Not long ago, a team of ten people passed under the tree. They moved at night and specifically looked for areas where it was easy to hide their figures. The purpose of this team was definitely not just to hunt for monsters.

Even though Li Zhen has good strength, he does not have the confidence to fight against such a team.

He closed his eyes and regulated his breathing, and the spiritual energy in his body recovered at an extremely slow pace.

There is a second-level spiritual vein in this hunting ground. Although his current location is far away from the spiritual vein, it is still a problem for a cultivator in the Qi training stage to practice.

In fact, he did not practice at all. He was even very careful when drawing spiritual energy into his body and regulating his breathing so as not to let the spiritual energy flow too violently.

The fluctuations of spiritual energy caused by practicing in the dark are like lighting a bright lamp in the darkness. I am afraid that cultivators several kilometers around can sense it, and the perception of monsters is even stronger.

Li Zhen's eyes suddenly opened and he heard a rustling sound in his ears.

He went straight to check the direction where the sound came from. The sound was not far from him. If he observed with his eyes at this distance, it would be very easy to trigger the other party's perception.

He slowly turned his head and scanned the direction of the sound with his peripheral vision, and saw six figures over three meters tall.

"They are monsters. How did they get into the hunting ground?" Li Zhen immediately determined their identities after seeing the six figures.

The truth is that he was too familiar with monsters. In the fairy world, only monsters had such strange shapes.

What surprised him even more was how six monsters got here, since this was the knockout round of the continental challenge tournament.

As for this hunting ground being used as the competition venue, not only other people but even the contestant Li Zhen only knew about it before the competition.

Li Zhen wanted to contact Principal Zong through his ID bracelet, but he found that the ID bracelet prohibited contact with the outside world.

It was only then that he remembered one of the rules of the competition, which was that it was not allowed to use identity bracelets to seek support from the outside world.

At this moment, the six monsters had arrived under the tree. Li Zhen was in invisible state and was still wearing a robe that isolated spiritual energy. The six monsters did not react abnormally when passing under the tree.

Li Zhen on the tree smelled blood, the smell of monks' blood. He felt a tightness in his heart, it seemed that some students had died in their hands.

This discovery made him even more shocked. Theoretically, no students would die within the hunting ground.

Because the hunting ground's large formation is always monitoring the internal status, once there is danger, the formation will automatically add a protective shield to the students, and the students will lose their qualifications for the competition.

Li Zhen has determined the cultivation levels of the six monsters. After transforming into monsters, their strength exceeds the ninth level of Qi training. In other words, before they transformed into monsters, they were at least cultivators in the late stage of Qi training.

"Huh!" He suddenly sensed that the six monsters all had the same spiritual aura.

The reason for this discovery is that the auras of the spiritual objects on the six monsters are exactly the same in terms of both intensity and grade. Based on his long understanding of his own spiritual perception, these six spiritual objects are exactly the same.

"Finally we found someone!" A voice broke the silence of the night.

Li Zhen looked in the direction where the voice came from, where four contestants were looking at the monster with joy.

Li Zhen really wanted to remind the four contestants that even if the monsters had the same cultivation level as cultivators, their strength after transforming into monsters would far exceed that of cultivators of the same level. Therefore, if the four contestants really had to fight against six monsters who had transformed into monsters, it would be a situation where there was absolutely no chance of survival.

The four contestants on the other side were unaware of the coming danger. They rushed towards this side excitedly. Several magical weapons flashed various colors in the dark due to the infusion of spiritual power.

When they rushed closer, they realized something was wrong.

It was too late. The six transformed monsters pounced on the four contestants. With just one encounter, the four contestants were grabbed and their hearts were pulled out, and they died.

Li Zhen did not show up. He did not want to face six transformed monsters alone, because even if he used all his means, he would not be able to save them, and he might even be implicated.

Li Zhen suddenly had an idea, and he used the Dragon Heart Space to try to collect the spiritual object from a demon. The collection went very smoothly, and the spiritual object did not recognize its owner, so he collected it into the Dragon Heart Space.

Just after the spiritual object left the monster's body, a thick bolt of lightning fell on the monster's body.

The formation of Qianshan Hunting Ground has a stronger function of targeting the monsters inside, so this function has been enhanced.

Once a monster beast mutates, it will have to withstand the attack of the formation. Once the attack starts, when it stops, either the formation does not have enough energy supply, or the monster in the formation is killed by the formation.

The sudden death of their companion shocked the other five transformed demons, as they knew exactly what had attacked their companion.

Li Zhen did not look at the spiritual object stored in the Dragon Heart Space at this moment. With a slight movement of his mind, he sent the spiritual object back to the dead monster.

"The formation talisman is still there, how could it trigger the clearing function of the formation!" A demon said as he lowered his head and took out something from the dead demon's body.

This was the spiritual object that Li Zhen put back into the dead demon. Hearing the demon call it a formation talisman, he understood why these six transformed demons could move freely in the hunting ground and kill people without being affected by the formation.

The formation talisman has many functions, the most important of which is that the person holding the talisman has a certain power over the formation.

This can explain why the monster killed the player and the formation did not protect the player.

Li Zhen's eyes lit up when he heard this. The previous demon died after he took back the formation talisman.

Without the protection of the formation talisman, the transformed monster was perceived as an abnormal monster by the formation and became a target for elimination.

Li Zhen wanted to try and see if his guess was correct.

The monster was puzzled, but Li Zhen locked onto the talisman on his body. A moment later, a bolt of lightning fell from the void, and the monster was turned into charcoal on the spot.

Now it can be confirmed 100% that it was the formation talisman that affected the formation.

After knowing this, he no longer had any scruples. He continued to collect array talismans into the Dragon Heart Space.

Five monsters were hit by five lightning bolts. The killing function of Qianshan Hunting Ground was only aimed at second-level creatures, and the small first-level monster was easily destroyed.

Li Zhen looked at the array talisman in the Dragon Heart Space, took out an array talisman in his hand, and injected his spirit into it.

He was shocked to find that the array talisman had great power and had the power to call upon a portion of the large array. He absolutely did not believe that there was no internal personnel familiar with the Qianshan Hunting Ground involved.

"Conspiracy! The Demon-Worshiping Cult actually managed to extend its hand into the knockout round of the Continental Challenge. You have to know that those gathered here are all the most talented students from Dongli Continent!" He thought as he looked at the six charred corpses on the ground.

As he was thinking about it, the hairs on his body stood up, and without any hesitation, he put the six array talismans back on the six monster corpses, and then he used all his strength to operate the "Concealing Qi Art" to activate the invisibility effect of the "Invisible Black Jade".

The two figures were flying over. Being able to fly in the air meant that they were at least at the foundation-building stage.

"Hurry, report to Master Wu immediately, something has happened!" One of them noticed something unusual before he even got close to the corpse, and he shouted loudly.

"Fellow Daoist Cai, Master Wu is not here because of something!" Wu Zhenxiu shook his head and replied.

After Wu Zhenxiu said this, he immediately realized something was wrong.

The departure of Master Wu seems to be related to what happened here. If Master Wu were here, no demon would dare to show up.

Cai Zhenxiu bent down and looked at the bodies of the other four students first. He confirmed the identities of the four students through the tokens and identity bracelets on the bodies.

This made his face look extremely ugly. There were students who died in the continental challenge, and four students died here alone. It was unknown how many students were killed in other places.

He came to the six corpses of monsters. Although the monsters were dead, there was still evil spirit left on their bodies, which was the characteristic of monsters.

"Damn it, announce the end of the game immediately!" He almost shouted after he found a formation talisman from the corpse.
