The ancient giant bear hiding in the world of immortal cultivation

Chapter 492 Tigress
After escaping, Wang Wu immediately returned to the spirit-catching ship and deliberately froze himself into a block of ice, looking quite miserable.

He wasn't doing this to gain sympathy or clear his name, because that guy would never know the truth.

He was only trying to prevent that unknown guy from suddenly becoming violent and causing him to suffer collateral damage!

That guy was able to hunt five Siberian Frostbirds in such a short time; his strength must be at least at the fifth level of the Taiyi realm.

Of course, maybe nothing will happen...

Just as Wang Wu was thinking this, he saw three golden lights flash by, and the three young Taiyi who had come with him returned quickly. The fourth one followed, but the fifth one did not return for a long time. He wondered what had happened to him.
As for Shuang Liuyun and the others, they remained silent.

"Tsk tsk! What a bad start. All the Taiyi we've painstakingly trained has already lost one of its members before it even had a chance to show its potential."

"Haha! I bet they ran into some old Taiyi cultivators from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. They like to play this trick, throwing out a True Yang Immortal Talisman nearby to lure out the Cold-Weather Birds or Cold-Weather Beasts to attack. Then, while those silly little creatures are locked in a stalemate with them, they launch a surprise attack from behind."

"It may not necessarily be the Myriad Immortals Alliance. This method is no longer a secret. Who doesn't have a few True Yang Immortal Talismans on hand?"

Those dragons, who love watching the drama unfold, were perched on the long sails of the spirit-catching ship, doing the hard labor of being boatmen while still having the leisure to cricket!
Wang Wu suddenly understood. So that's how it was. He wondered how he could have been attacked by a large Siberian jay. Those old bastards are so despicable.

At this moment, another golden light flashed, and everyone looked up, thinking that the unlucky fellow had returned. Unexpectedly, it was Xu Taiping who returned. He was also a bit disheveled, with a bluish-green line on his face, which looked very strange.

However, he was holding a burning talisman in his hand. He slapped it on his body, and instantly a scorching yang energy rose up from his body, restoring him to normal in an instant.

"Everyone be careful. We have encountered the Spirit-Capturing Ship of the Myriad Immortals Alliance. Some of their Taiyi True Immortals are most skilled at ambushing us weaker Taiyi. I just suffered from this and was almost ambushed."

Xu Taiping spoke gently, had a smile on his face, and was very charming, making it hard not to like him.

At this moment, a newly arrived Taiyi smiled bitterly, "Thank you for the reminder, fellow Daoist. I didn't expect the mission of the Spirit Capture Team to be so difficult. We have been training since we were at the third level of Earth Immortal. Over the past few thousand years, we have experienced many risks. But here we are surprised to find that we are nothing."

"That's right, we underestimated everyone."

Several young Taiyi were deeply moved.

They were all at the first level of Taiyi, and were extremely arrogant, only to be slapped in the face by cruel reality.

"Please don't underestimate yourselves, everyone. I used to be the same way. Don't worry, the Spirit Catching Team is known for its top-notch training journeys, and we'll encounter similar situations frequently in the future. Please, everyone."

Having said that, the golden light talisman on Xu Taiping's body had been restored to its original state, and without hesitation, he jumped out of the spirit-catching boat again.

The few young Taiyi looked at each other in bewilderment.

So brave?

Seeing that the four of them were about to jump out like Xu Taiping, Wang Wu quickly shouted.

"Fellow Daoists, please lend a hand! There's no rush to get out. Please save me first. My spiritual core meridians have been sealed by the Cangming Cold Qi. Thank you for your help!"

Wang Wu knew this perfectly well. Although the four of you all came from good backgrounds and had gone through a lot of training, from the first rank to the Earth Immortal and then to the first level of the Taiyi realm, you were all protagonists in your respective levels. But in a larger context, and at this moment, what do you have to compare with Xu Taiping?

Wang Wu himself just fell into a honey trap and didn't even have time to react before being caught, but Xu Taiping managed to deflect the trap immediately and escape successfully.

This method seems simple, but it is actually quite extraordinary in every respect.

Normally it would be fine, but today there happens to be a furious crocodile. If you jump out now, aren't you just asking for death?

Upon hearing this, the four young Taiyi looked at Wang Wu, then at each other. One of them, who hadn't said much and whose expression hadn't changed, and who looked cool, jumped out without saying a word.

Moreover, they jumped in the direction Xu Taiping was going.

I wonder what he's thinking?

At this moment, another young Taiyi smiled bitterly, "Fellow Daoist, I know you mean well, but your condition is not serious, so please don't discourage the determination we have finally mustered. If we cannot catch a Cold-Weather Bird today, we will be driven back to the Frost Domain. Losing face is a small matter, but we will not be able to guarantee that our Dao hearts will be unimpeded in the future."

After saying that, he was about to jump out as well.

"Stop! Let me say something!"

But even if Wang Wu had said it, it wouldn't have made any difference, because the three young Taiyi disciples had jumped out without hesitation.

That's right, it's not that they're cold-blooded, but rather that it's a part of their training that they can't escape.

Wang Wu shook his head helplessly, but he didn't think about chasing after them to help or anything.

In his view, the four young Taiyi were not wrong; rather, this was just how the cultivation world was.

Their experience is undeniably rich, and their methods and intelligence are top-notch, but their most fatal flaw is always the same.

That is, in this multi-level immortal realm, the three levels of power with vastly different strengths—Daluo, Taiyi, and Dixian—are all gathered together.

It's like putting elementary school students, middle school students, and high school students in the same dormitory and classroom, so they're together 24/7.

Who is hurt the most?

These four young Taiyi were on the brink of life and death in this tragedy.

When they were still Earth Immortals, they actually received a lot of care, both overt and covert, so they didn't have much contact with those scoundrel Taiyi.

However, after they advanced to the Taiyi level, their strength had not improved enough and they lacked experience, so they were thrown into this brutal battlefield.

How cruel this line between life and death is! Of all those—the Serpent Emperor, the Nine-Tailed Fox, the Tree Grandpa, and that Stone Demon whose body was never even found—and even Serpent Nineteen and the others, which one of them is still alive today?
There were tens of millions of cultivators who escaped from the Great Wilderness Prison Tower back then, but in the end, only he was able to reach the level of Wang Wu.

Even his closest friends and family only benefited from his fame.

Just how cruel is this cultivation world? Just look at the twenty-four giant dragons on this spirit-catching ship and you'll know.

Next, Wang Wu continued to lie there, pretending that his spiritual core meridians had been frozen by the Cangming Cold Qi, determined not to go out.

After a while, they heard the giant dragons chirping on the crickets again.

"Hey, look at that little bear cub, it's putting on quite a good act."

"Haha, he probably thinks we're all fools?"

"Whether we're fools or not doesn't matter. What matters is whether you think that vile woman Shuang Liuyun is a fool or not. Ladies and gentlemen, how about we make a bet? I bet that this little bear cub will get whipped a hundred times by that vile woman. She loves whipping people the most!"

“I bet two hundred lashes. It’s a matter of attitude. Failing to catch the Siberian Wren the first time is related to experience. That lowly servant girl at least has some sense in this regard, but she pretended to be injured and came back to hide. Hehehe, I want to eat bear paws.”

"A bunch of idiots! I bet he's already caught a Siberian jay!"

A cold female voice, never before heard, suddenly spoke.

"Why can't it be two? I bet on two!"

“I’ll bet on one too. This little bear cub is clearly quite capable, so he’s not afraid of that wretched maid making things difficult for him.”

"Come on, place your bets!"

A chat group of dragons was very lively.

Wang Wu didn't pay much attention to it. So what if his strength was exposed, or even his identity?

He came here to gain experience, so there's no need for him to try to hide anything.

It's okay to show off your muscles if it's appropriate.

After another half hour, Shuang Liuyun finally returned. All five Taiyi level 5 disciples who were with her were present. Of her two disciples, Bai Lu had never returned, and Xu Taiping returned once to replenish their numbers.

However, none of the remaining five young Taiyi who came with Wang Wu returned.

It's really upsetting.

At this moment, Wang Wu naturally stopped pretending to be inconvenient and jumped up in a flash, standing aside as if he were invisible.

Shuang Liuyun glanced at him with an unfriendly expression, but didn't say anything for the time being. She then took out seven large ice blocks from her Qiankun bag.

Huh? This looks familiar!

Good heavens, this ice block is filled with first-order Taiyi cultivators! So even a beautiful woman with bright eyes and white teeth like you does such despicable things!

At this moment, Shuang Liuyun waved his hand, and a huge seven-character rosy light shot into the sky, so this can also be used to exchange prisoners.

Anyway, I don't know how it was done, but in no time, the seven other first-tier Taiyi cultivators from the other spirit-capturing ships were exchanged away. Then, our five unlucky guys were also exchanged back with pale faces. Fortunately, their lives were not in danger.

"You're as stupid as pigs! Xia Zhi already warned you once, but you still haven't learned your lesson? Even pigs are smarter than you! I finally managed to capture seven prisoners, and I used up five of them just to exchange for you!"

Shuang Liuyun cursed loudly and lashed out with his lightning whip, truly going all out. Even with his immortal body, he was whipped until his skin was torn and bleeding profusely.

After she finished drawing her lottery ticket, she said with a gloomy expression, "Calculate everyone's winnings."

After saying that, she took out two large Siberian jays, three medium-sized ones, and nine small ones. This was quite a haul.

That's very strong.

Those five Taiyi level 5 individuals were also able to hunt down three to five Cold-Weather Birds.

What surprised Wang Wu was that Bai Lu, who was also at the first level of Taiyi, actually captured two small Hanhao birds.

He looks unremarkable, but he's actually quite talented; he truly is a genius.

However, when Xu Taiping took out his catch, everyone fell silent, because he had actually hunted two small Siberian pheasants and one medium-sized Siberian pheasant.

Such strength and skill are truly outstanding. Shuang Liuyun beamed with joy and praised them loudly, seemingly improving her mood considerably.

Wang Wu was not surprised at all. Xu Taiping was indeed capable of this; his extraordinary talent was definitely not unfounded.

For a moment, the spirit-catching ship was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Finally, Shuang Liuyun slowly turned her head, her extremely beautiful eyes, which were also cunning and even somewhat cruel and brutal, staring at Wang Wu, who was hiding in the corner and smiling.

"Are you stupid? What's so funny? What does it have to do with you? Where's the Siberian Husky I wanted?!"

Stab it!

The lightning whip had already appeared in Shuang Liuyun's hand. This tigress was about to unleash her fury!
