Chapter Twenty-Seven: Immortal Cultivators Die for Spirit Stones
It is easy to be afraid when facing the unknown.
Just like facing the dark environment around you, if you don't know what will be in the darkness, you will feel that there is a terrifying danger hidden in the darkness, which will make people feel scared. Human imagination can deepen this fear.
Zhou Tai knew almost nothing about immortal cultivators, and he hesitated for a long time before this plan. If the immortal cultivators had great magical powers, he would be discovered like a gopher, and would be discovered like a mouse in front of a cat.
Take it easy.
The risk is great, and the reward is unknown. The greatest possibility is to see the style of a group of immortal cultivators.
If this was a normal world of cultivating immortals, cultivators from all realms might appear. As a mortal, Zhou Tai would never wade into any muddy water, let alone create muddy water and invite others to wade into it.
But, this is a low-spirited place, and there are very few people on the third level of Qi training, so you can give it a try.
If Mr. Sun’s cheater also told lies here, then Zhou Tai would have no choice but to admit it.
But based on his own speculation, he believed that the statement about the low-spirited land was true. This possibility was very high, and he believed in this judgment.
After things started as planned, I was prepared to retreat as soon as possible if the situation went wrong. Even if there were top secrets on cultivating immortals in front of me, if my life was gone, everything would be meaningless.
As a result, the imaginary battle between immortal cultivators was even lower than what I had imagined. I already felt that it was a low-spirited place, and the cultivation levels were generally not high, which lowered my expectations.
The result, is this?
In the darkness, I heard the sound of weapons clanging against each other.
Zhou Tai imagined a scene of a gang of street gangs fighting.
And this kind of change from unknown to familiar with something made Zhou Tai's mentality towards these immortal cultivators change from not being underestimated to nothing more than that.
I already had various ideas such as beating sap, grabbing tongues, picking up corpses, etc. to deal with the possibility of something happening, but now I feel that the chance of this is much greater.
Just when Zhou Tai was listening to the sound of fighting and analyzing the situation, the situation changed again. A fireball appeared in the dark night, first the size of a table tennis ball, and then the size of a human face.
The light of the fireball illuminated the situation on the field. Various corpses fell to the ground. In just a moment, many people were separated from life and death. If you have good eyesight, you can see the broken Kongming Lantern containing the spiritual stone.
On the hands of a corpse.
Zhou Tai had already put his head above the ground to watch. He was a little far away and was not too worried about being discovered.
Xiao Yiwu used most of his spiritual power to launch this fireball technique, just to see where the spirit stone was. Wouldn't it be stupid if someone ran away in the dark? As for the lethality of this fireball technique, he had no idea at all.
Thought about it.
When he saw where the spirit stone was, he threw the fireball at the nearest enemy while most of the others didn't react, and then ran towards the place where the spirit stone was.
The lighted up fireball made Zhou Taicai, as a spectator, feel like he was watching a cultivator fight. But then he saw the cultivator take action, and the fireball was flying at a slow speed, and he was easily dodged by it, and then flew
It went out after a distance, making Zhou Tai look down on these immortal cultivators even more.
It lit up and then went out for about five seconds. The fireball flew a total of six or seven meters. Even if it flew out, it didn't fly very fast.
In fact, Zhou Tai didn't know that among the group of people who came, only a few of them were immortal cultivators who could use spiritual power, and they were all at the first level of Qi training and only knew one or two impractical spells.
Most of the rest are followers who follow these people. They are subordinates, guards, dead soldiers, etc. They have different names, but they are all ordinary mortals, just ordinary people who have practiced the art of killing.
After the brief light of the fireball disappeared, it fell into darkness again. At this time, Zhou Tai quickly emerged from the hole and moved quietly towards the direction of the crowd's fight. He was going to touch the corpse.
The requirements are not high, just get a secret book.
Is it safe to simply rush into that chaotic fighting scene? It's not safe.
Then why go there? Because Zhou Tai still has a backup plan. If nothing happens, these people will leave the fighting place soon, leaving the corpses for him to touch. Even if there are one or two left, he will have to fight with them.
If you are a fellow traveler by yourself, you will have to work hard once.
Time goes back to a few days ago. Zhou Tai measured the distance from the North City Gate to where he was going to raise the Kongming Lantern in detail with his steps. At other places, he measured the time it took him to run as fast as he could to cover this distance: half
Incense stick time.
He also roughly estimated the response time in the city.
Then I used incense to experiment with the possibility of delaying lighting of the Kongming Lantern. After several attempts, I successfully mastered the method.
Therefore, when Zhou Tai approached the corpses in the dark, about 800 meters to the southwest, a ball of fire turned from weak to bright, and another Kongming Lantern slowly rose in the night sky.
The interval between the two flights is very short, because if the time is too long, people from the city will come in large numbers, and the arrangement will be in vain, and it will be a mess.
There is a lot of gambling involved in this arrangement. It is a bet on the temptation of the spiritual stone to the immortal cultivators in the city, and also a bet on whether they can be the first to arrive. It would be better if they can start a fight.
People die for wealth, and those who cultivate immortality die for spiritual stones!
In terms of direction, Zhou Tai also tried his best to consider that he was in the northeast and the Kongming Lantern that rose for the second time was in the southwest, so as to maximize the distance.
Moreover, the southwest direction is closer to the city gate. If you encounter new newcomers coming from the city, there may be another fight.
Zhou Tai once considered not putting the spirit stone in the Kongming Lantern for the third time, because he put it in the first two times, and the third time would definitely attract the crowd, thus avoiding wasting a strengthening point and a piece of jade.
But in the end, I chose to put the spirit stone on it. If I didn't put the spirit stone, there would be no new commotion, and the situation would easily subside quickly. Only in the midst of the commotion could I fish in troubled waters.
When the new Kongming Lantern was lifted into the sky again, it was so eye-catching in the dark night sky that it was hard not to see it. Among the crowd competing for the spiritual stone, some people ran there immediately, and then,
The second one, the third one.
As for the contenders who stayed in place, because there were few people, the direction was no longer blocked. Soon Xiao Yiwu, holding the spirit stone in his hand, ran decisively towards the city gate, while the pursuers followed closely.
In front of Zhou Tai, the open space where the fight had just occurred suddenly became a quiet place.
Because he had been groping in this direction, he was already very close. At this moment, Zhou Tai turned into a tiger and came out of the cage. He rushed forward and kept groping on the ground with his hands at the same time, not caring whether he would scratch his hands.
If you don't dare to illuminate, that might bring back all the people, and you can only grope in the dark. Every second is precious now. Because the fireball had illuminated it before, allowing Zhou Tai to see the distribution of the corpses, and soon he
I touched the body.
Of course, there may be serious injuries, but why do you care so much? Regardless of whether you touch blood on your hands, the harvest time has come.
