Volume 1: A Sword Comes from the West Chapter 10: Black Bone Vine and Nether Tiger
The night is getting darker, deep and distant, and the shadows of the trees seem to lurk endless dangers.
The sinister wind gusted, adding a bit of terror.
Between the sky and the earth, a cluster of bonfires jumped up and down, becoming the only light in the dark night, trying hard to illuminate the entire night sky.
"Brother, are there really monsters?" A female disciple looked around, looking a little scared.
"Don't worry, with Senior Brother Chao and Senior Brother Yin here, if those monsters really dare to come out, they will only die." A disciple looked at the two people in the team and complimented.
"That's right, these two senior brothers are strong foundation builders. What danger can't be solved?" Another woman spoke with an expression of pride.
When the two said this, several disciples who were still a little scared suddenly felt a little more confident.
After a while, the sound of "rustling" came from the dense forest not far away. Although it was very weak, it was particularly loud in the silent night.
Everyone looked towards the dense forest in unison, but unfortunately it was dark and couldn't see anything clearly.
The rustling sound was still there, and it kept getting closer, and soon two points of blood-red light appeared, and there was a kind of ferocity and coldness in the light.
The two young men who had already established the foundation jumped up almost at the same time and exclaimed: "Netherworld Tiger, a third-level monster!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone stood up, as if facing a formidable enemy, and some even took out their weapons.
On the other side, Li Xiuping and the other three also looked extremely heavy at this moment.
The so-called third-level monsters are actually foundation-building monsters, which is what monks call them. Ordinary monsters are called first-level monsters, which correspond to the monks' body training; monsters that have already entered cultivation are called second-level monsters.
, corresponding to the monk's Qi training; and by analogy, the third level corresponds to foundation building, the fourth level corresponds to the golden elixir, and the fifth level corresponds to the Nascent Soul...
However, although the levels of monster beasts are the same, their strength will be different due to different types. For example, Gou Lian, whom Li Mingyue killed before, although it was also a third-level monster, was far less powerful than this Nether Tiger, not to mention Gou Lian.
Lian also has a fatal weakness.
After staying in the Night Travel Division for the past two years, Li Mingyue has seen many monsters, and the Nether Tiger is naturally one of them, so she knows how terrifying the Nether Tiger is.
To the entire Night Travel Division, the Netherworld Tiger is a despicable existence. No matter how much the price and means are spent, it is almost impossible to kill the Netherworld Tiger. Therefore, although the two Night Travel Divisions continue to collect the secrets of various monsters,
Information, but failed to grasp the weakness of the Netherworld Tiger. The only information is that this thing is extremely fast.
"More than one." Xu Bansheng suddenly said at this time.
Li Xiuping nodded. That rustling sound was not caused by the Nether Tiger. In other words, besides the Nether Tiger, there were other monsters.
"Can it be dealt with?" Li Xiuping asked directly.
Logically speaking, if you encounter a monster like the Nether Tiger, you can only run for your life, but Xu Bansheng is a practitioner after all, and with the treasures left by the head of the Huayang Sect with him, there may be a way to deal with it.
Moreover, in addition to Xu Bansheng, there are about a dozen practitioners like Xu Bansheng here, and there are even two strong foundation builders among them. If they join forces, there may be a way to deal with this Netherworld Tiger.
Xu Bansheng nodded and said: "If there is only one, even if it cannot be killed, it should be no problem to drive it away. The key is that there are more than one now."
Li Mingyue looked at the group of monks and said nothing, but her thoughts were obvious.
Xu Bansheng nodded and said: "If we can really join forces, it may be possible to win. After all, they have two strong foundation builders. The key is that they are really willing to join forces?"
Li Xiuping said: "They will definitely be the first to be dealt with by the monsters. Let's wait and see what happens. If they can deal with them, we will be happy and relaxed. If they cannot deal with them, they will naturally beg to join forces with us."
Xu Bansheng smiled and said: "That's true."
That group of people is closer to the monster. Once the monster launches an attack, that group of people will inevitably become targets first.
While he was talking, a vine suddenly came out of the ground. Before anyone could react, a disciple was directly penetrated by the vine and then raised high. Blood continued to flow along the vine, and then he was pierced by the vine.
absorb.
Everyone quickly dispersed, and all weapons were unsheathed, emitting a cold light in the night sky.
"Black Bone Vine!" Xu Bansheng exclaimed.
Li Mingyue frowned, because she had been in the Night Travel Division for two years and had killed all kinds of monsters, but she had never heard of such a thing, let alone seen it.
Xu Bansheng continued: "I'm afraid it will be difficult now. But why is there a black bone vine here? Isn't this kind of monster only found in deep mountains?"
Li Xiuping asked: "Is this thing very powerful?"
When he asked this question, he had already held the hatchet in his waist, ready to take action at any time.
Xu Bansheng said bitterly: "Let's put it this way, although they are all third-level monsters, the Nether Tiger has no ability to fight back in front of this black bone vine."
Li Mingyue was shocked and seemed a little unbelievable.
Xu Bansheng continued: "It's true. I used to go out with my master for training and encountered a black bone vine. Even my master destroyed a fire magic weapon before killing it."
Li Mingyue was really frightened now. A strong golden elixir man needed to destroy his magic weapon before he could be killed. Then wouldn't they have no choice but to die in front of this black bone vine?
What's more, in addition to the Black Bone Vine, there is also a terrifying Nether Tiger. Even if there are strong people at the Golden Core stage here, it may not be easy to deal with it.
At this moment, those disciples have launched an attack on the Black Bone Vine, and various weapons are constantly slashing at the vine. However, a small vine is stronger than a diamond and cannot be cut off. At most, it can only be left.
The next mark.
At this time, the vine swept across, and the two disciples were unable to dodge. They were directly hit by the vine and flew backwards on the spot. After falling to the ground, they were completely unable to move.
The remaining disciples all looked pale. One of them took out a talisman. After silently reciting a mantra, he placed the talisman on the long sword in his hand. Then he took out some more talismans and threw them to the remaining disciples.
After everyone took the talisman, they all did the same thing, activated the talisman, and then slapped it on their weapons.
As the talismans were shot into the weapons, the weapons in everyone's hands glowed with dazzling light.
The monk who took out the talisman said: "Junior Brother Zhang, Junior Sister Liu, and Junior Brother Qi, you three are responsible for containing the Netherworld Tiger; Junior Brother Yang, Junior Sister Su, and Junior Brother Chu, you three attract the attention of this vine. Junior Brother Chao and I
Responsible for the main attack."
As soon as the words fell, everyone took action in an orderly manner.
Seeing everyone enter the fighting state, Xu Bansheng, who had already taken out a talisman, said in admiration: "This guy has some skills."
Li Xiuping nodded and said: "But they alone may not be able to deal with these two monsters. Leaving aside the Black Bone Teng for the moment, the Netherworld Tiger is not something those three people can deal with."
As soon as Li Xiuping finished speaking, the three people who were dealing with the Netherworld Tiger approached the Netherworld Tiger, and one of them flew backwards and fell to the ground wailing. Although the remaining two people avoided the Netherworld Tiger's attack, one of them fell on his shoulder.
Several bloody gashes were opened directly by the Netherworld Tiger's sharp claws, but only the woman named Liu was not seriously injured.
Li Xiuping was just about to step forward to help, but the woman shouted to Li Xiuping and the others: "If you don't come over to help, if you hadn't made a fire, the monster wouldn't have been attracted."
Xu Bansheng was about to speak, but Li Xiuping stopped him and said: "Let's deal with this Netherworld Tiger first. If they are all dead, we alone have no chance of winning."
Xu Bansheng nodded and walked directly towards the Netherworld Tiger, and Li Xiuping followed suit.
At exactly this moment, the Netherworld Tiger pounced directly on the injured disciple at an extremely fast speed.
Xu Bansheng shouted loudly, and the talisman in his hand suddenly glowed with light, and then shot forward directly. When it flew to the side of the disciple, the talisman exploded. The exploded talismans did not disappear, but were pulled towards each other.
, it instantly turned into a big net, covering the Netherworld Tiger.
The Netherworld Tiger seemed to know the power of this talisman, so it stopped attacking directly and turned to attack the woman named Liu.
At this time, Li Xiuping had already reached the woman's side, pushed her away with one hand, and slashed the Nether Tiger head-on with the hatchet in his hand.
However, Li Mingyue still underestimated the strength of the Netherworld Tiger. Not only was the Netherworld Tiger dodged the knife, but the Netherworld Tiger also turned around and swung its long tail directly on him. A huge force came instantly,
Li Xiuping felt like all the bones in his body were falling apart.
At this time, Xu Bansheng stood up straight from the ground while holding the big net, and threw the big net in his hand towards the Netherworld Tiger.
The Netherworld Tiger was about to dodge, but the giant net separated directly and turned into little rays of light scattered around the Netherworld Tiger.
As these rays of light fell, strips of golden rays of light continued to light up on the ground, connecting and shuttled between each other, forming a huge circular array, which happened to surround the Netherworld Tiger.
Xu Bansheng fell to the ground, exhaled a long breath, then clapped his hands and said: "Done."
In the magic circle, the Netherworld Tiger roared continuously and continued to attack the surroundings. But no matter how hard he rushed, he could not leave the scope of the magic circle.
The Nether Tiger was trapped, and both Li Xiuping and the other two monks breathed a sigh of relief.
The woman surnamed Liu looked at Xu Bansheng and said, "Little fat man, it's okay! With his cultivation in the Qi Refining Stage, he can actually control the Monster Beast in the Foundation Establishment Stage."
Xu Bansheng said proudly: "Of course, you don't care who I am."
He quickly frowned and said, "Who is the little fat guy? I have a name. My name is Xu Bansheng."
The woman named Liu looked at the Nether Tiger controlled by the magic circle, frowned and said: "But if it is so trapped, I am afraid it will break free sooner or later, so I still have to find a way to kill it."
Xu Bansheng couldn't help but frown.
Li Xiuping said at this time: "Leave this to me, you go help them, I will come after I kill this Netherworld Tiger."
The woman surnamed Liu looked at Li Xiuping and curled her lips and said: "Just you? A guy who didn't even practice qi, with a broken hatchet, just wanted to kill this third-level monster with strength comparable to a foundation-building expert.
