After wandering around for a while, Wutan finally stopped opposite Huo Chanzi and others.
There is a protruding piece of solid ground here, which is relatively close to the Earthly Spirit Grass by several dozen feet.
The ground was covered with weeds that were three inches deep. Wutan was hiding in it, and it would be difficult to be found if he didn't make any noise.
He frowned slightly, and the next thing he had to consider was how to approach the center of the swamp.
Everyone is afraid of swamps. Once you fall into it, you will sink deeper and deeper. Struggling is useless and there will be no chance of escape.
This is the nightmare of cultivators below the Hundred Dynasties period. And the Earth Yuan Ling Grass is still growing there. Isn't this torture!
As time passed, the people on both sides of Huo Chanzi began to get anxious and ready to make some moves. Many of them even summoned their spirit pets and waited in preparation.
"sand… "
Suddenly, a rustling sound was heard nearby. Wutan's ears moved slightly, and he caught it at the first moment. He turned his head and parted the weeds to look, only to see three figures that were so familiar that they couldn't be more familiar, slowly crawling towards him.
These were none other than Chao Xi and the other two, and they were obviously here for the Earthly Spiritual Grass as well!
Wutan suppressed the murderous intent in his heart, quietly crawled to the side to make room for the three people, then held his breath and hid carefully.
The three of them came to his original position, and Akagi was immediately surprised and said: "I didn't expect there really is Earth Spirit Grass!"
Yue Qianli asked suspiciously, "Senior Sister Chao Xi, how did you know?"
"At first, this swamp was only about 100 meters wide. I didn't expect that after five years, it would become like this..."
Chao Xi sighed for a moment before saying, "I accidentally discovered this place during the Endless Trial five years ago. At that time, the Earthly Spiritual Grass had just sprouted and the medicinal properties were insufficient, so I didn't pick it. After that, I came here every year for five years, but I didn't expect to encounter the Endless Trial as soon as it matured, and was discovered by Huo Chanzi and Luo Shenzi."
"No wonder you asked me to subdue a 'River Pig', it turns out your purpose is the Earth Origin Spiritual Herb!" Yue Qianli suddenly realized.
Before, he was still wondering why Senior Sister Chao Xi would let him find a way to get a "River Dolphin", but it turned out that she had planned it all along.
Chao Xi frowned slightly: "I estimated that the swamp would become larger and wider, so I asked you to collect a river dolphin as a spiritual beast just in case, but I didn't expect it to grow this big."
"Senior sister is very smart. With the Hezetun, it will be easy to get the Earth Yuan Lingcao. As long as you refine this medicine, you can break through to the minor success stage. Hehe, by then, Huo Chanzi, Luo Shenzi, and Yan Yangzi will all be no match for them. As long as they die, the positions of the three titled disciples will belong to us!" Yue Qianli said sinisterly.
Chao Xi said solemnly: "We can't take it lightly. Let's not talk about Yan Yangzi. He was given the title by the Great Elder. He is just a waste. But the strength of Huo Chanzi and Luo Shenzi is obvious to all. They each have a lot of trump cards and are not easy to deal with."
"Senior sister is right. The two of them were able to complete endless training five years ago. It is conceivable that their strength is unfathomable. They are definitely not as simple as they appear!" Akagi agreed.
After a short silence, Chao Xi said, "Junior Brother Qianli, I will have to trouble you later. You ride the river dolphin into the swamp and quietly get the Earth Elemental Spirit Grass. If you are discovered by accident, Akagi and I will come out to stop you and cover your retreat. You go to the withered bamboo forest and wait for us. If we are not there in an hour, you will give up the training."
"Yeah, I understand!" Yue Qianli replied.
"However, you must take the Three Corpse Poison." Chao Xi took out a medicine bottle from the mustard bag. Inside was a pitch-black pill with a foul odor that made people dizzy.
Yue Qianli's expression changed, and she said gloomily: "Senior Sister, you don't believe me?!"
Chao Xi disagreed and said calmly: "Junior Brother Qianli, why are we called the Three Evils in the sect? It means that we are more cruel and vicious than others. Except for ourselves, we don’t trust anyone. I think you should understand!"
"Akagi, you..."
Before he could finish his words, Akagi interrupted him directly: "Just do as Senior Sister Chao Xi says."
Yue Qianli was silent, his face changing from gloomy to bright. He knew very well how powerful the Three Corpses Poison was. He had used this poison in the past and had killed countless people.
Because of this, he didn't dare to agree, because Chao Xi was the only one who had the antidote to the Three Corpse Poison. If he gave her the Di Yuan Ling Cao but she didn't give him the antidote, she would still die, and it would be an unjust death.
"I know your concerns. As long as you abide by our agreement, I will give you the antidote in time!" Chao Xi smiled slightly, acting very kindly.
Yue Qianli shook his head, and his meaning was very clear.
There was a flash of coldness in Chao Xi's eyes, but it disappeared in a flash, and Yue Qianli, who was looking at her, didn't notice it at all.
She pretended to be silent for a while, then said, "How about this, I'll give the antidote to Akagi and he'll keep it. Now you should be relieved."
"Junior Brother Qianli, what do you have to worry about now? Given our brotherly relationship, would anyone harm you? If you really think so, I would rather give up the fight for the Earth Yuan Spirit Grass. But in this way, our wish may never be fulfilled!" Akagi said.
Yue Qianli hesitated, but finally, he couldn't resist the temptation of being a titled disciple and nodded in agreement.
Wu Tian sneered in his heart. It was obvious that Chao Xi and Akagi had bad intentions. If it were normal times, Yue Qianli would not be so easily fooled, but now it was related to his future status and power. The so-called greed was blinding him, and he didn't realize that he had already stepped half a foot into the gate of hell.
"Let's fight, fight to the death..." Wutan muttered.
The three of them were fully prepared, even getting the river pig. It seemed that the Earth Yuan Lingcao must belong to them.
In fact, the river dolphin is an extremely common monster that lives in swamps all year round. It has the same nature as the mud beast, but is even worse than the mud beast and has no attack power at all.
The only advantage is that the river dolphin is in the swamp, and other monsters cannot sense its breath, just like air. Therefore, riding on it is very safe.
"Maybe I should change my plan!" A strange smile suddenly appeared on Wutan's face.
Chao Xi said, "Junior Brother Qianli, the time is almost up, start the action, be careful, there can't be any mistakes."
"Remember your promise!" Yue Qianli said.
Then, holding a token, he jumped into the swamp silently. However, during the descent, the token in his hand flickered, and a dark monster appeared. It was about three meters long, as thick as a bucket, with a long and pointed mouth and two rows of black teeth like blades.
This is none other than the river dolphin. It has a fin on its abdomen, back and tail, which sways from side to side like a palm-leaf fan as it moves forward slowly.
It was not very fast, but it was quite steady and did not make any noise.
"Xier, this boy is really stupid. He has been with us for such a long time, but he still hasn't figured out the relationship between us. He actually believes me. Haha, I have to say, he is too naive!" Akagi said with a smile.
Chaoxi's eyes were full of spring waves, extremely charming: "Being too naive can easily lead to death. Didn't his parents teach him that he should be more careful in everything? He is such an idiot. He has been called the Three Evils with us over the years, which is really flattering him. Brother Akagi, throw away the antidote. As long as he dies, there will be no evidence to prove his frame-up of Yan Yangzi, and the Earth Yuan Spirit Medicine will belong to us alone."
"No hurry, no hurry, maybe it will be useful if we keep it!" The big man Akagi changed his previous behavior, his eyes were full of wisdom, and now he looked more like a resourceful strategist.
Wutan shook his head. These two people were indeed not good people. They were in cahoots with each other and were so cruel as to plot against people they had lived with for many years.
On the other side, Huo Chanzi, Luo Shenzi and others were unaware of Yue Qianli's actions. They all wanted to get the Di Yuan Ling Cao and did not want to give in, so the situation remained at a stalemate.
"Ah! The Earthly Spiritual Grass is gone..."
Suddenly, a scream woke everyone up.
They all looked in surprise, only to see that the lush green magical grass in the center of the swamp had disappeared at some point. This was like a bolt from the blue, and everyone was furious.
Especially Huo Chanzi and Luo Shenzi, they shouted at the same time: "Who is it?!"
"No matter who you are, you will die today!" Huo Chanzi's face was as gloomy as water. Someone actually dared to snatch food from a tiger's mouth. Even if it was not a human, but a monster in the swamp, he could not tolerate it. He shouted: "Fire Spirit, come out!"
"Roar!"
A ferocious monster suddenly appeared beside Huo Chanzi. It was three meters long and one meter high, covered with scales, as if it was made of magma, and as red as fire. Upon closer inspection, it was actually real flames, steaming on its body surface and emitting an astonishing temperature!
This beast looked extremely strange, with a head as big as a gourd like a dragon's head, and a huge body like a musk deer. Its tail was nearly one meter long, covered with scales, and was exactly the same as the giant tail of a fire dragon.
Moreover, the neck was covered with inch-long red mane, which looked like wisps of rising flames.
It was as if the fire element condensed into something, emitting flames and raining fire. All the flowers, plants and trees within a hundred feet were instantly reduced to ashes!
"Fire Qilin!!!"
Everyone present gasped. This was actually the legendary ancient beast, the Fire Qilin!
Even Luo Shenzi was distracted.
The Fire Kylin is a ferocious beast in legend and the darling of the fire element. It is born with the ability to control the fire element. It is more than ten times stronger than the human fire spirit. It can burn everything. It has unpredictable power and is extremely ferocious. It can also fly!
The legendary ancient ferocious beast actually appeared next to Huo Chanzi. This was even more shocking than the local spiritual grass. It could not be described in words.
An ancient beast! That one was not a being that intimidated others, slaughtered millions of lives, stood proudly above the nine heavens, and looked down upon all living beings as an invincible god...
The Fire Kylin is even more terrifying. From ancient times to the present, the number of its appearances can be counted on two hands. It is on par with the Sky-Devouring Beast and has a transcendent status. It is the invincible king of an era!
No one could have imagined that Huo Chanzi's pet would be a Fire Kirin...
"How is it possible? The ancient beast, the Fire Qilin, became extinct hundreds of millions of years ago. It is impossible for it to reappear in the world..."
Akagi's face turned pale, and he felt a huge wave of shock in his heart, and it was hard for him to accept it for a moment.
Wutan's pupils contracted, and he was obviously quite shocked. However, he was not as dumbfounded as the others, because he had a Yuan-Swallowing Frog next to him that could transform into a Sky-Swallowing Beast.
Moreover, this Fire Qilin was not pure-blooded, because a truly pure-blooded Fire Qilin would have two horns on its head, but this one did not. It was still in its infancy, so its strength was not very strong.
Wutan was confident that he could kill it in a few rounds.
