True Immortal of the Netherworld

Xu Yang's whole body tensed up, and he instinctively used his right hand to scratch the painful area on his left shoulder. A half-inch-sized black bee was pinched between his fingers.

This black bee was as black as ink, and there was a white skull pattern on its back. A stinger on the tail kept expanding and contracting, exuding a little transparent venom. Xu Yang suddenly felt numbness on his shoulders, and his left hand couldn't move his magic power flexibly.

"Senior Brother Xu, you were stung by a poisonous bee. It won't be a problem." Upon seeing this, Zhu Liuqing said with concern.

"It's just that my shoulders are numb, and the magic power is not flowing smoothly." As he said that, Xu Yang wanted to crush the poisonous bee in his hand to death.

"Senior brother, wait a minute. This poisonous bee only exists in this valley. I don't know what kind of harm its poison will do to your body. Why don't you put it away first, and when you return to the sect, you can also ask the seniors in the sect for healing methods."

"I hope Junior Sister will think carefully."

Zhu Liuqing took out a talisman specially designed to bind poisonous insects and stuck it on the poisonous bees. The talisman turned into a golden thread and entangled the poisonous bee tightly. Then he took out a small jade box and put the incapacitated poisonous bee into the box and put it away.

"Why don't we find a safe place? You can do some exercises to remove the toxins from your shoulders before leaving."

The two chose a flat and spacious place nearby. Xu Yang was sitting cross-legged in meditation, using his energy to force out the poison, while Zhu Liuqing was protecting the law.

This bee venom was quite difficult to deal with, and it took half an hour to force the poison out of the body. Xu Yang stood up, moved his left shoulder, and when he reached out with his left hand, a flame appeared on the tip of his left index finger.

"It's okay now. Let's move forward as planned." Xu Yang said with a smile.

Seeing that Xu Yang was fine, a smile appeared on Zhu Liuqing's originally nervous face.

"This poisonous bee is not afraid of flames. Although its toxicity is only paralyzing, it takes effect quickly and cannot be easily eliminated. If you can tame this black bee and use it as a spiritual pet in a fight, it will definitely be a good help." Xu Yang said.

"Senior Brother Xu is interested in taming this insect?"

"I have only heard people talk about spiritual insects before. I only thought of domestication when I met this bee today."

"As far as I know, the domestication of spiritual insects is no better than that of other spiritual beasts. Although spiritual insects often have their own unique talents, their intelligence is very low at the beginning, and it is very difficult to domesticate them to the point where they can use them freely. Therefore, most monks choose to domesticate them. At the beginning of spiritual intelligence, only some monks with special talents and bloodline secrets can tame spiritual beasts into spiritual pets. It’s a pet, and its power is much greater than that of ordinary spiritual beasts.”

"Junior sister is knowledgeable and admirable."

"The Zhu family is originally a cultivating family, so it is natural for them to be exposed to many related classics. As a secular disciple, it is admirable that my senior brother has reached the second level of the spiritual realm in just a short period of time after entering the path of cultivation."

"Speaking of which, I would like to thank my junior sister. I have reached the current state of cultivation with the help of the Blood Jade Kirin. In the past few days since I joined the sect, I have spent most of my time hiding in my room and practicing hard. It seems that I need to go out more to practice. That’s right. I gained a lot from this trial with Junior Sister Zhu.”

The two of them were walking and chatting, and came to a mountain col.

"Senior brother, look. There is a large spiritual fruit tree under the mist in the mountain col in the distance. According to the mark on the map, it should be the Qingyan fruit." As he said that, Zhu Liuqing pointed to a place directly in front of the two of them. forest.

Having learned the lesson from being chased by black bees when picking tricolor flowers, the two of them were more cautious this time.

Xu Yang's face darkened and he said, "Junior sister, wait a minute. I feel that there are chaotic spiritual energy fluctuations in front of me. It's probably a fight."

"I also vaguely felt the fluctuation of spiritual power ahead. Maybe my fellow disciples arrived first. How about taking a closer look before making a decision?"

"fair enough."

The two of them hid their figures and cautiously approached the spirit fruit forest. Hidden behind a big rock in the distance, when I poked my head out and took a look, I was shocked.

I saw a red flame tiger in an open space thirty meters ahead. This tiger's body is more than two feet long, and its head is the size of a millstone. A faint red spiritual flame emanated from the fiery red hair all over his body. A pair of black crystal tiger eyes stared at the group of ghost monkeys opposite.

There are as many as thirty to forty ghost monkeys on the opposite side. Each monkey has a piece of white bone exposed on its cheek. The jet-black hair and the white bone on its cheek form a sharp contrast, making it look very ghostly.

The flame tiger showed its teeth and claws in a demonstration, and the bone-faced monkey on the opposite side did not show any weakness. Their hair stood on end, expressing their pressure.

At this moment, the Flame Tiger opened its mouth wide, and a ball of fire shot out, passing over the ground and blasting towards the monkeys. The huge spiritual pressure made the ground rumble, and the soil everywhere it passed was rolled and scorched. .

"It seems that the cultivation level of this flame tiger is already comparable to that of a monk in the Transformation Realm." Xu Yang, who was hiding behind a large rock in the distance, whispered to Zhu Liuqing.

Zhu Liuqing nodded slightly and watched the fierce fight in front of her intently.

One of the monkeys on the opposite side was obviously larger than the others. He seemed to be the leader of the group of monkeys. He let out a piercing scream, and a palm-sized blue fireball shot out from his mouth. Immediately afterwards, the other monkeys each sprayed blue fireballs from their mouths. In an instant, dozens of cyan fireballs poured down like a meteor shower.

Most of the cyan fireballs collided with the large fireballs ejected by the Flame Tiger. Under the collision, cyan and red sparks flew everywhere, and the roaring sound was endless. Huge circles of spiritual pressure shot out in all directions from the impact point, raising large amounts of flying sand.

The big fireball was very powerful and obviously more powerful, but there were many small cyan fireballs. After the collision, the size and power of the big fireballs were obviously consumed a lot, and most of the small cyan fireballs were also lost.

The flame tiger's tail, which was more than ten feet long, swept back and forth in mid-air like a steel whip, and the small green fireballs that were close to it were beaten to pieces. Occasionally, one of them fell on it and exploded. The huge tiger body only vibrated, but it seemed to be fine.

"Ouch——". The flame tiger let out a roar in the sky, and the roar of the tiger made the earth buzz. Even greater spiritual pressure burst out from the tiger's body. The flame tiger jumped up and rushed into the monkey group in two or three times, either hitting with its front paws or biting with its sharp teeth.

Surprisingly, the monkey group was not disrupted by the attacking flame tiger. This group of bone-faced monkeys not only have extremely flexible movements, but their overall coordination ability is also very coordinated. Some of the monkeys kept bombarding the flame tiger with cyan flame balls from a distance. Other monkeys roared and bluffed in front of the Flame Tiger, nimbly dodging the Flame Tiger's blows and bites.

For a moment, the green fireball crackled and bombarded the huge tiger's body. Although it could not seriously damage the flame tiger, the action of the flame tiger was obviously affected.

The tiger's body was shaken by the beating, and the accuracy of its bite was obviously affected. For a moment, the Flame Tiger didn't catch a single monkey.

The furious Flame Tiger let out a thunderous roar, and its pressure surged, but it was unable to do anything to the group of bone-faced monkeys. After the two sides were in a stalemate for half a cup of tea, the Flame Tiger seemed to be losing strength. His movements were obviously not as agile as before, and the spiritual pressure he released gradually weakened.

At this moment, the bone-faced monkey leader jumped up like lightning and landed on the neck of the flame tiger. Revealing two canine teeth as sharp as knives, he bit the weak spot on the Flame Tiger's neck, causing blood to flow profusely.

Under the severe pain, the Flame Tiger lowered its head and swung violently. The monkey leader who was originally riding on the tiger's neck shrunk, jumped up in the air, Gululu turned a series of somersaults backwards, landed firmly on the ground, and then let out a cry. A sharp roar. The other monkeys took the opportunity to launch green flame bombs and accurately attack around the Flame Tiger's neck.

The exploding cyan flame ball set off a large amount of cyan mist. The flame tiger's body swayed left and right in the blue mist, and its pair of black crystal-like tiger eyes had long lost their initial sharpness. The Flame Tiger opened its big mouth and spit out three red fireballs, exploding a passage among the monkeys. He shrunk, jumped violently, jumped out of the monkey group three or two times, and ran away.

The monkey leader let out a low whine, and the other bone-faced monkeys also made the same whine, which seemed to be a cheer of victory.

Next, the monkey group did not continue to chase the flame tiger. Instead, under the leadership of the monkey leader, they returned to the orchard in groups. Not long after, they disappeared among the dense forest leaves and hid their traces.

"What an exciting showdown. Senior Brother Xu, what would happen if the tiger just replaced you and me?" Zhu Liuqing said.

"The strength of this group of monkeys is probably similar to that of human monks entering the first and second levels of the spiritual realm. Although they do not have magic weapons to help them, they are large in number and have a tacit understanding of attack coordination. With the current strength of you and me, I am afraid that we can kill all of them." If you retreat, you will be lucky," Xu Yang replied.

Zhu Liuqing nodded and said: "The flaming fireballs spit out by these bone monkeys are very similar to the spiritual power contained in flaming fruits. There are probably flaming fruits in the fruit forest ahead."

"Our planned route passes through this fruit forest. If we take a detour, it will delay us for a day, and the group of monkeys in front of us will be very difficult to deal with." After saying this, Zhu Liuqing looked troubled.

Xu Yang pondered for a while and replied: "I have seen this flaming fruit in the sect's books. This fruit only matures once every three years. In addition to refining ghost elixirs, it is also very useful for ghost pets. Benefit. Most of the Flame Tigers who just came here are here for the Qingyan Fruit. Although the tiger was defeated, it was not seriously damaged. It is estimated that you and I will not give up the Qingyan Fruit easily. It’s not too late to make some adjustments nearby, adjust the situation to the best, and then observe the development of the situation before making any plans.”

"Just follow senior brother's advice." After saying that, Zhu Liuqing nodded.
