Chen Bo and Huang Shasha were still listening to Huang Daming's words. At this time, in a deep mountain a few hundred kilometers south of Tianqiong City, a cultivator was sitting there quietly.
This cultivator was none other than the City Lord of Tianqiong City and the current leader of Yintian Sect—Chen Kuan.
A few hundred miles ahead of him was a small trap.
The trap was very simple. Just use a knife to dig small holes in the soil, then insert all the treetops upside down in the small holes, fill the treetops with soil, and then cover them with a layer of leaves. In this way, a small trap was successful, but this trap could not deal with reptiles, but could only be used to capture walking monsters.
Because there are some barbs on the treetops, once the monsters step on the treetops, it will be difficult to get out for a while, and the people who set the trap will quickly run over and catch the monsters that stepped on the treetops.
All the treetops were buried in the soil. Chen Kuan reached into his pocket and took out a small bottle. He opened the bottle cap and poured some bait onto the branches. Then he patted the dust off his hands, picked up the knife from the ground, and ran towards the foot of the mountain.
This area is full of monsters. If a mid-level or high-level monster finds the human's breath, it will definitely come quickly to kill them. Chen Kuan also knows this very well, so after burying the treetops, he climbed up a tree and hid, waiting for the monster to take the bait.
There are many kinds of magic beasts in Tianqiong City, and practitioners also divide magic beasts into three levels: high, medium, and low according to their strength. However, the magic beast that Chen Kuan wants to catch this time is a low-level one.
It was already midnight, but in the Sky Continent, only tiny stars could be seen at night, so the night seemed particularly dark.
Chen Kuan lay on a big tree branch, his eyes fixed on the trap he had buried in the distance.
Logically speaking, after I put down the bait, a low-level monster would come and eat it soon. However, monsters don't like to move around at night. So Chen Kuan didn't rush, he just lay there and waited quietly.
Chen Kuan waited until the sky gradually brightened, without blinking, and just stared at the foot of the mountain, because Chen Kuan knew that when the sky just brightened, there would definitely be monsters running out to look for food.
Sure enough, after waiting for nearly half an hour, Chen Kuan suddenly heard the sound of birds chirping in the distance. He looked up and saw a bird similar to an eagle running over from the other side of the mountain.
"Phoenix bird. How could it be lured here first?" Seeing the bird in the sky, Chen Kuan muttered to himself with a bit of bitterness.
Chen Kuan knew that the Fengwu Bird was a nearly mid-level magical beast, and its attack power was very strong. Its beak, which was ten centimeters long, could pierce directly into a stone just by stretching it forward slightly. This showed how strong its attack power was.
However, Chen Kuan had made up his mind that as long as the Fengwu bird dared to eat his bait, he would target it and catch it.
The phoenix bird flew around in the sky. Seeing that there were no enemies where the food was, it flapped its wings, then folded them, and flew quickly towards the trap set by Chen Kuan.
Chen Kuan had already held his breath, his eyes fixed on the trap. As long as the bird landed on the top of the tree, Chen Kuan would run over and catch it.
At this moment, Chen Kuan had only one idea in his mind, which was to catch the Fengming bird, so that he could use it as his spiritual pet.
The Fengwu bird was descending very quickly. At this moment, it only had food in its eyes, and did not see the cultivator who was staring at it closely in the tree in the distance.
"Ying..." When the phoenix bird opened its mouth to eat the food on the grass, it found that it had been pierced by the tree tip. This made the phoenix bird scream loudly.
Seeing the Phoenix Bird landing on the top of the tree where he had ambushed, Chen Kuan quickly jumped down from the tree and flew towards the Phoenix Bird.
"Ying..." When the Phoenix Bird saw someone practicing running over, it chirped again, as if warning Chen Kuan not to get close to it.
But Chen Kuan ignored the cry of the Phoenix Bird. Instead, he ran to the side of the Phoenix Bird and stretched out his hand to grab it.
As for the possibility of being pecked by the Fengming bird, Chen Kuan no longer thought about it, because dealing with a Fengming bird, Chen Kuan felt no pressure at all.
Soon, the phoenix bird was caught by Chen Kuan. Looking at the phoenix bird, Chen Kuan showed a hint of emotion on his face. "Haha, a spirit pet. This time, let's see how you run."
As he spoke, Chen Kuan flew towards a cave not far away.
However, as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the cave, Chen Kuan discovered that the cave had been occupied by some mid-level magical beasts after he had only been out for one night.
Looking forward, Chen Kuan could already see a cave next to the mountain stream, but the cave was now occupied by a group of magical beasts.
"Looks like I have to snatch it back." Thinking in his heart, Chen Kuan did not rush to take any measures, but sat on a tree and observed the situation over there.
Time soon reached night, and the moonlight gradually darkened. The monsters all stopped fighting and moved into the cave. At this time, Chen Kuan jumped down from the tree and slowly walked towards the cave.
In the night, Chen Kuan's eyes were like stars as he looked at every scene and object on the mountain, and soon he came out of the cave.
There were less than ten monsters living in the cave, which looked like rats or pigs, with long red hair. This kind of monster was called blood rat, and its attack ability was the hair on its body.
Chen Kuan searched in his storage bag, took out the long knife he used today, and walked into the cave.
After all, he was a cultivator with the strength of the late stage of the Spiritual Emperor Realm. Although the blood rats were all intermediate-level magic beasts, Chen Kuan was not worried. Because it was night time, the blood rats were in a sleeping state, so it was easy for Chen Kuan to deal with them.
Chen Kuan had quietly entered the cave, but the blood rats inside the cave did not notice that an enemy had come in. In the dark night, Chen Kuan could see everything.
Walking to a blood rat near the cave entrance, Chen Kuan raised his knife and killed it.
But because that blood rat screamed loudly at the last moment, all the other blood rats in the cave were awakened. Soon, the blood rats in the cave knew that there was an enemy attack, and they were so scared that they had to run out of the cave quickly.
Chen Kuan stood at the entrance of the cave, and when he saw the situation inside, he quickly turned around and ran out first. Are you kidding? He is now at the Spiritual Emperor level. If he is pricked by the hair of those blood rats, he will be laughed at to death by others.
After running out of the cave, Chen Kuan stood there with a knife in his hand, wondering if he could kill the leader of the blood rats. In a group of monsters, there must be a lord. As long as he was killed, the other monsters would run around without a mind.
The first few blood rats that ran out of the cave didn't even look at Chen Kuan next to them, and ran to other places in the mountain stream. In the dark night, the blood rats had no vision at all.
Chen Kuan stared at the cave entrance, and after a while, he saw a relatively large blood rat running out of the cave. Based on Chen Kuan's experience, this blood rat must be the leader of their team.
The blood rats were all intermediate-level monsters, so their lords were all at the peak of the intermediate level. The blood rat lord also saw the enemy standing at the entrance of the cave, and quickly screamed in his mouth, reminding other members to attack Chen Kuan.
Although Chen Kuan couldn't hear what they were saying, as soon as he saw the actions of the other blood rats, he realized that they were going to attack him.
Seeing this, Chen Kuan did not wait, but raised his long knife and slashed directly at the Blood Rat Lord.
Who knew that the Blood Rat Lord was so agile. As soon as Chen Kuan raised his long sword, the Blood Rat Lord ran in the other direction of the cave.
Chen Kuan looked behind him and found that all the other blood rats were chasing him. In front of him, the blood rat lord ran into the cave.
"Chase!" After thinking about it, Chen Kuan chased after the Blood Rat Lord directly.
After chasing forward for dozens of meters, Chen Kuan found that the blood rat lord in front had stopped. And the place where it stopped should be the end of the cave.
The cave was a bit wide and square, with the stone walls polished very flat. There was nothing else except a low-grade luminous stone placed on one wall.
The Blood Rat Lord also knew that he had nowhere to run, so all the hair on his body stood up, as if waiting to meet Chen Kuan's challenge.
Chen Kuan held the long knife in his hand, thinking that he must get rid of the lord before other blood rats ran in. Otherwise, when other blood rats ran in and were commanded by the lord, he would only get hurt.
After thinking all this through in his mind, Chen Kuan did not wait long. He tightened the long sword in his hand, stared at the Blood Rat Lord, and ran towards it.
The Blood Rat Lord also found Chen Kuan rushing towards him, but there was nothing else in the cave except three walls. So the Blood Rat Lord had no other place to hide and had to prepare for Chen Kuan's attack.
With the long sword in his hand, Chen Kuan was not afraid at all. Seeing the Blood Rat Lord's hair all standing up and rushing towards him, Chen Kuan swung the long sword in his hand directly at the opponent's head.
The mouth of this kind of blood rat that looks like a rat or a pig is the most vulnerable part. Although it usually uses its mouth to dig food, that part is particularly dirty. After Chen Kuan found the right position, he rushed down with the long knife without even thinking about it.
The blood rat lord's eyesight is better than those of ordinary blood rats at night, so when it saw Chen Kuan's long knife coming towards it, it stopped in time and changed direction. (..)
