Chapter 372: Cold-blooded Monk, Survival First
After entering the woods, Li Changxiao asked the three to be careful. He did not rule out the possibility that some spiritual beasts might still be alive.
Zhao Qiu followed behind Li Changxiao, and doubts arose in his heart, which had been in his mind for a long time.
So he secretly ran to Zhang Mo's side and asked in a low voice: "Elder, he seems to know this place very well?"
Zhang Mo tapped Zhao Qiu's forehead, her tone somewhat disappointed. She said, "Girl, why don't you think about it? Why were you able to defeat those three traitors?"
"Even if you haven't heard of their names, don't say you don't know how strong those three are, right?"
Zhao Qiu covered her forehead in pain and stuck out her tongue, revealing a girlish cuteness. She thought seriously for a moment and retorted: "How could I not know? The three of them are well-known in Dayan Huazong and are expected to become elders."
"It seems that their names are... Liu Kai, Wang Yu, and Hong Zhong. They are usually quite popular in the sect and often help others. Their martial arts attainments have also been praised by several elders."
Zhang Mo opened her red lips slightly, "You do know. Then tell me, why did they lose to you? Were they beaten away by you? Are you at a higher level than them or are you better at swordsmanship than them?"
"Of course..." Zhao Qiu said seriously, "They were careless and underestimated the enemy. They made mistakes and I found their flaws. I chased them relentlessly and defeated the strong with the weak."
"There is no set number in a battle. Even if someone is more skilled in martial arts than me, I can still turn defeat into victory."
Hear the words.
Zhang Mo couldn't help but hold her forehead with her hand, feeling helpless.
She revealed the secret in one sentence, "Zhao Nizi, your victory has nothing to do with the weak defeating the strong. It has to do with someone helping you secretly."
"You were deceived by someone without anyone noticing."
"But it's not your fault. I've been cheated before, and for several years."
Having said that, Zhang Mo couldn't help but secretly glance at the drunkard walking in front.
This guy has made this kid so proud and overconfident, which is not good for his future growth.
Li Changxiao turned around and gave Zhang Mo a thumbs up, and left the matter of educating his disciples to her. He was just a playboy, so there was no way he cared about so many things.
Zhao Qiu was still confused, and Wang Huang, who was listening at the side, also felt confused.
It was obviously me who showed great power, so why did all the credit go to others?
Zhang Mo had no choice but to make it clearer, "The one who is really powerful is that guy. Those untraceable methods were all done by him."
"In the past, he saved me from the strange disease case and the body-swapping case. Now, he also saved me from this trip to the ruins."
"Now you know?"
Zhang Mo tapped Zhao Qiu's head and spoke to the two of them.
I can also take this opportunity to teach the younger generation more.
Their pupils shrank.
"Him?" They looked at Li Changxiao.
The latter turned around and smiled at them.
"He doesn't look like he is very powerful," Zhao Qiu wondered.
"Watch carefully." Zhang Mo pinched the two men's chins and asked them to face Li Changxiao.
It is imperative to expose Li Changxiao's true face.
Only in the eyes of the two.
The figure was sometimes blurry and sometimes clear.
It was as if there was a layer of faint mist enveloping the whole body.
I can see clearly, but I can’t see clearly.
It was a strange feeling. They had never noticed it before, and as a result, they intentionally or unintentionally ignored Li Changxiao's existence.
However, at this moment, under Zhang Mo's special guidance, they also began to realize this.
He immediately frowned and narrowed his eyes, focusing his eyes on Li Changxiao.
At a certain moment.
The light mist seemed to be blown away all of a sudden.
Only then can you see its true appearance.
"So handsome... So this is what he looks like." Zhao Qiu couldn't help but say.
"Oh my god." Wang Huang was also shocked. He had never seen such a weird thing.
This person who had been with them for a long time only stood before them so realistically at this moment.
A rare appearance and temperament in this world.
Li Changxiao did not deliberately hide it, nor did he deliberately reveal it.
Just let it be.
"Strange, why didn't I notice it before?" Zhao Qiu felt puzzled.
She has always been very sensitive to handsome men and can spot them from several streets away.
"That's just his character." Zhang Mo complained.
Zhao Qiu and Wang Huang suddenly looked at Zhang Mo suspiciously.
His eyes became more teasing.
He also gave an ambiguous smile.
"Elder, you two have known each other for decades? No wonder the elder has never been married, it turns out that he has had a lover for a long time."
"Ahem, Elder, then I'll give him to you. I won't fight with you for it. I'm still young." Zhao Qiu coughed twice and announced solemnly.
Zhang Mo was stunned for a moment, then a blush appeared on her face, and she said angrily: "Silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about."
As he said this, he rewarded Zhao Qiu with a heavy chestnut.
……
The group went deep into the Spirit Beast Garden. When they reached the depths, a sour smell filled their noses and they saw white bones hanging on the branches.
Zhao Qiu was so scared that he screamed.
Li Changxiao said: "The spiritual beast raised here should be the Chaotian worm."
"The Chaotian worm lives underground and feeds on human flesh and blood."
"Some outer disciples who violated the sect's rules would have their cultivation abolished and be hung upside down on tree branches to become food for the Chaotian insects."
As he spoke, Li Changxiao drew out the Qingping sword and slowly inserted it into the ground.
Pick it up gently again.
Then he picked out the skeleton of the Chaotian worm.
It proved that what he expected was correct.
Zhang Mo was slightly startled and wanted to lean towards Li Changxiao. They had investigated a case together before and she already had a vague sense of dependence on Li Changxiao. But now, with the younger generation following behind her, she restrained herself.
Although Chaotianchong feeds on humans, it is also often used as an auxiliary medicine when refining some elixirs for body building, stimulating blood, etc.
"I heard that the alchemy methods in ancient times were very different from those in the heyday."
"In ancient times, people paid more attention to efficacy, and there were no restrictions on the materials used. It was common to use living people to make elixirs."
"During its heyday, spiritual herbs grew wildly, there were many substitutes, and magical objects emerged one after another. Alchemy gradually became restricted and standardized."
Li Changxiao thought in his heart.
After leaving the Chaotian worm area, we arrived at the breeding area of blue-eared monkeys.
The trees here are tall, with leaves as wide as basins. The blue-eared monkey has also become extinct, with only bones left on the ground.
This kind of monkey is very human-like, and that is why it is loved by some weaponsmiths.
Some weaponsmiths believe that newly forged weapons, such as swords, knives, guns, etc., are dead objects and have no spirituality at all.
A blood sacrifice of living spiritual creatures.
It can quickly impart a hint of spiritual energy and is easy to use.
Therefore, people often offer blood as sacrifices.
This method was still popular even during its heyday.
Of course, the main function of this blue-eared monkey is not to be used as a sacrificial vessel.
Instead, they picked the spiritual liquid from this place.
These trees have broad leaves, and the spiritual fluid they produce accumulates in the leaves.
Li Changxiao slowly told the few people about these matters regarding cultivation.
"From what you said, it seems that monks are quite cold-blooded?" Zhang Mo asked half-jokingly.
"That's not the case." Li Changxiao replied, "It depends on the circumstances at the time."
"The human race is struggling. Becoming stronger and staying alive is the right thing to do."
