Chapter 239

239 Divine Deer Forest

The deer demon was indeed scared out of her wits. When Lu Weiwen came close, she finally reacted. Some wood spiritual energy extended from her still-intact hand, forming vines and branches out of thin air, and blocked Weiwen.

But how could they stop him?

The huge blade was swung horizontally. The sharpness of the flux star sword, the surging metal spiritual power, and Wei Wen’s own enormous strength were all condensed.

This slash could break any vine!

Seeing that the giant blade was about to land on its body and that it had no chance of surviving, the deer demon closed its eyes in despair.

After that, she felt a sharp pain in her forehead. She didn’t die from the sudden heavy blow, but she fell to the ground with a dizzy head and couldn’t move.

She forced her eyes open, and her vision became a little blurry.

She also saw Lu Weiwen, who had already started killing other demonic beasts.

In the sky, more humans on flying horses rushed in and began to slaughter the demonic beasts.

She didn’t know why that female cultivator didn’t kill her just now. She clearly didn’t hold back with her blade, and she didn’t have any means to fight back.

But even so, it was impossible for her to have any gratitude in her heart.

She tried her best to support her body with her hands, and with the strength of her four limbs, she managed to stand up.

She still wanted to continue fighting. She couldn’t stand her own people being slaughtered like this, but she didn’t do anything.

However, just as she was struggling to get up, she was seen by Weiwen. She quickly turned her head and gave the deer demon another blow.

He still didn’t kill her, he only tried to knock her unconscious.

After taking another hit, the deer demon finally couldn’t withstand Wei Wen’s great strength and fainted.

After the DOE demon lost her combat power, the remaining battle was boring.

Under the leadership of Lu Jingming, more than twenty cloud cavalrymen rushed down. The power of the formation connected everyone, and together with the force of the charge, it was like a cannonball falling to the ground. In an instant, it overturned and destroyed thirty to forty demon beasts.

After that, the cloud cavalry split into small teams and formed a more flexible and free formation, starting to kill the remaining people around them.

When Wenen saw Weiwen’s attack, he thought that the deer demon was dead for sure and that he would lose ten spirit stones. However, it turned out that he did not.

He was also very confused. Why didn’t his cousin kill her?

before I came, great-aunt mingchao specifically told me not to kill a level-two female deer demon if I encounter her. It’s best to capture her alive, ” Lu Weiwen said.

Lu Wenen was a little speechless,”then why did you bet with me on who would kill Qianqian first?”

“Hehe, I’m just teasing you.”

“......”

......

[ the number of monsters killed has reached 100. You are rewarded with 100 karma. ]

[ current total kills: 109 ]

......

[ accumulated kills of 5 stage-two demonic beasts. Reward: 100 karma ]

[ current total kills: 5 ]

......

[ current accumulated prize pool: 1359 karma ]

......

[ you have completed a 2-star strategic mission. You are rewarded with 486 karma and a random rare exchange item. ]

......

Lu Qing only took a glance at the series of system messages that had appeared. He did not pay any more attention to them.

He could roughly guess that this was the reward for the capture of the female deer demon and the defeat of the group of demonic beasts.

He had earned more than 600 karma in one go, which was a pretty good number.

Since the start of the battle, Lu Qing had obtained nearly 1500 karma one after another. This was before they had encountered any major battles. The initial enlightenment cultivators and golden core cultivators had not made their moves yet. This was merely the result of the Lu clan’s team’s various attacks.

It was worth mentioning that the reward that Lu Qing would receive would only be given to the cultivators of the Lu clan who participated in the operation and achieved results. It was the same as the time when the White ghouls went south.

However, the difference this time was that the Lu family now had the identity of a commander and a leader. Thus, the completion rate of the overall strategy and the results obtained by the other teams were also very useful. Although these would not directly give Lu Qing karma as a reward, they would be reflected in the cumulative prize pool. After the war ended, the karma that he would receive in one go would probably be a very rich sum.

Of course, this was a matter for the future. Lu Qing did not even have the time to look at the rare exchange tab that he had just obtained. He was focused on the two demons not far away.

If Wenen were here, he would be able to tell that these two demons were the same species as the female deer demon he had seen earlier. They both had four-legged deer bodies below the waist and a human body above the waist.

However, these two were much more majestic.

The female demoness was no taller than 1.7 meters, while these two were more than two meters tall, and they were very muscular. The antlers on their heads were also much thicker than the demoness’, and the curves were more obvious. Overall, they looked even more rough.

These were two tier-three demons, equivalent to initial enlightenment cultivators among humans. They were also the leaders of the demon race in the divine Deer Forest.

“You still haven’t found Lu man?” The younger one was fretful.

the hyena Condor said last time that there were traces of them. He has already set off and is continuing to look for them. Be patient. Those humans are coming with great momentum. We have to be more careful in order to protect this forest where our ancestors lived for generations. The older one was more stable.

The younger one paced left and right, his four hooves stomping the ground restlessly.”These humans are too detestable! If it wasn’t for the fact that the Demon King was distracted by the War in the West, I would definitely contact more friends and take the initiative to attack. I would kill all these humans who dared to invade our ancestral land! We’re even going to kill our way out of the forest and into their homes, so that they can have a taste of their home being destroyed!”

The old man sighed. don’t be impatient. She’s your sister, your wife, and my daughter. I’m as anxious as you. However, the strength of those humans was still unknown for the time being, so he must not be impulsive. We’re afraid that we won’t be able to defend the forest, so it’s even worse to take the initiative to attack.”

“I know, I’m just feeling annoyed!”

Lu Qing’s consciousness form touched his illusionary chin as he pondered.

...

This time, his first goal in this North-bound battle was very clear. It was to first take down the 50 golden lotuses that the three Shen Ying brothers were guarding.

But he couldn’t just fight it.

Lu Qing named the valley where the Golden Lotus grew Eagle Valley. It was a level-three spiritual pulse, and it was a relatively large level-three spiritual pulse. The demonic beasts were not as brainless as the White ghouls. When they reached a higher level and gained intelligence, they could also use the power of the spiritual pulse.

The Eagle Valley should have a protective formation similar to that of humans.

As long as the three level-three demonic Eagles did not come out of the valley, even if they were bombarded by the formation-breaking cannon, it would take some time for them to attack.

This definitely required a relatively safe environment. Hence, the surrounding demon beast territories had to be cleaned up more or less, in case the surrounding environment was not safe when they attacked Eagle Valley.

One of the most important points was the place where Lu Qing was currently at-divine Deer Forest.

If they didn’t uproot this place, the subsequent battles would be very difficult to fight.

It was said that in this forest, in ancient times, there lived a deer God. Later on, its whereabouts were unknown, but the bloodline it left behind guarded this forest for generations and became the leader of the local demon race.

In the past, there would always be some fourth-rank deer demons in the divine Deer Forest. However, perhaps because their bloodline had become thinner and thinner as time passed, the deer demons in the divine Deer Forest were only third-rank.

Lu Qing had already noticed that there was something wrong with this area. After exploring it, he felt that this was even more so.

...

Although these two third rank deer demons weren’t much, the level of the divine Deer forest’s defensive array was very high. Moreover, it was a path that he couldn’t understand at all. It was very different from the ones of humans and demonic beasts. It looked very ancient, as if it had been passed down from a very long time ago.

In the past, Lu Qing had heard of the legend of the divine deer. He thought that it was nonsense and that the deer demons here were trying to make themselves look good. But looking at this forest-protecting formation now, it really did seem to have that little bit of credibility.

With these two level three deer demons and thousands of demonic beasts living in the divine Deer Forest, it would take a long time to gnaw at them.

This was something that Lu Qing was not willing to accept.

However, he had already discovered that in this divine Deer Forest, there was a kind-hearted and high-ranked rank two female deer demon who had suddenly left this place and ran to the outside world to help the demon race who had lost their homes due to the human cultivators ‘invasion.

In the beginning, Lu Qing was not sure about her identity. He only felt that she might be the key to solving the situation. Therefore, he specifically told mingchao and the others to be careful when they patrolled the area and look for this female deer demon. Today, through the conversation between the two of them, Lu Qing finally figured out her identity. He also thought of how to make use of her.

Since taking the initiative to attack was very troublesome, then he would just lure them out.

The old deer demon leader looked very cautious, and it would be difficult for them to come out of their turtle shells under normal circumstances. However, his willful daughter’s saint-like heart had broken out, and she had given the humans a very good opportunity.

This female demoness called Lu man was the best bait.

Of course, it would be unrealistic to capture Lu man stupidly and then force her to come out for a decisive battle. According to Lu Qing’s observations over the past two days, the old deer demon was very cautious. If he were to encounter such an extreme situation, he would probably hide and watch his daughter die without stepping out. The young deer was more impulsive and might be drawn out, but it would definitely be dissuaded by the old deer demon.

But he could think of other ways.

For example, he could deliberately reveal some flaws to give the other party a chance to rescue him.

Perhaps, they would send out an elite team to try and rescue him. They might even go to the battlefield personally to end the battle as soon as possible and rescue the people.

This would depend on whether they would fall for it or not.

He had been tricked. Even if he couldn’t eliminate all these deer demons under the ambush, as long as he could get rid of these two third-rank deer demons, the rest would be much easier to handle.

If I don’t fall for it, Yingluo

In any case, there were no losses, so they could only think of other ways or simply waste more time to attack.

Lu Qing was a little speechless about the blood relationship between the deer demons in this family and things like ‘my daughter is my son’s wife’.

However, it was true that the demon race’s ethical values were different from humans in this regard.

Alright, as long as you guys are happy.

......

Seeing that there was no room for further development, the two deer demon leaders went about their own business. Only then did Lu Qing have the time to turn his attention to the rare exchange item he had just obtained.

It was a two-star rare exchange option-spiritual root enhancement!

“This is even more useful than giving me another three-star rare exchange option!”

It was rare to improve one’s spiritual roots, but it could be used on adult cultivators to improve their spiritual roots.

There were many people in the family who were eager to exchange for this item. For example, xueting and Ming Ling were only cultivators with three spiritual roots. If they could use a rare two-star spiritual root to improve their spiritual roots and give them a boost, it would be very useful. After they became double spiritual roots, their future cultivation path would obviously be smoother.

However, this rare spirit root enhancement was not easy to get. If he had a three-star rare spiritual root enhancement item, Lu Qing would have given it to chaoxi directly. It would allow him to advance from the lightning wood to the lightning element single spiritual root. Then, his path to the Golden core realm would be even smoother in the future.

However, he had at least gotten one today. Although it was only a two-star One, it would be very useful.

This would definitely be used by Chaohe first.

After Chaohe had obtained the [earth virtue spirit body ], his talent was already more outstanding than the average person with double spiritual roots. However, he originally only had three spiritual roots, so he was still a bit of a hindrance. Now that he had exchanged for a two-star double spiritual roots, it was obvious that this flaw could be made up for very well.

After attaining double spiritual roots, Lu Chaohe would also become the most talented one among the Lu family’s Qiming siblings.

Chaoxi and mingchao only had double spiritual roots, while Chaohe’s talent was no less than an ordinary single spiritual root after he had double spiritual roots and an earth virtue spiritual body.

Of course, when it came to cultivation, one couldn’t just look at spiritual roots and cultivation techniques. Many people had all the hardware and software, but in the end, they still managed to cultivate to a mess. This was very normal. In the end, the path of cultivation still depended on one’s level of comprehension and diligence.

But no matter what, after Chaohe’s advancement, his future cultivation path would obviously be much smoother, and there was more hope for him to reach Jindan.

To the current Lu Qing, the price of a 2-star rare spiritual root enhancement item was no different from giving it away for free. He immediately exchanged for it and then sent a voice transmission to Chaohe. He wanted to give his son some assurance and also tell him not to spread this matter.

It was still acceptable to improve a child’s spiritual root. After all, the child was still young and had not fully developed. If there was a change in talent, it could be said that the first test was not so accurate. However, if news of an adult improving their spiritual roots spread, there would definitely be some problems. Therefore, when Lu Qing used the rare spiritual roots to help his children improve, he would tell them this. He even told them not to discuss it with each other.

There’s nothing wrong with being a little more careful.

Lu Qing continued to stare at the two deer demon leaders after he was done talking to Chaohe.

That night, a normal-looking Eagle flew back and directly arrived in front of the old deer demon. Under the transformation of the light, it turned into an eagle-headed man.

Elder Lu, I’ve found Lu man.
