Chapter 285 - Stubborn

Chapter 285: Stubborn

??

After Li Yuanqing left Rong City, he headed to the wilderness again. This time, he was going to the mountains in the eastern region.

He only had one last material left, which was the Netherworld Flower. As long as he found the last material, he could start refining the huge devil crystal into a Dharma artifact.

Originally, Li Yuanqing did not have many plans for the gains along the way. However, the gains along the way were too abundant. This made him even more curious about the next location. What secrets were hidden in these places that had never been mined? Why were there so many treasures in these places?

All of this was very wrong. Be it humans or demons, their cultivation speed in the dungeon world was not fast. However, there were actually so many strange mystic realms in the Catacombs world.

This was a very strange thing in itself. Where did the energy of these mystic realms come from? Why could they nurture so many strange creatures?

While Li Yuanqing was traveling, he passed by a certain plain in the wilderness and bumped into a group of beasts. This beast group was wrapped in smoke that filled the sky, covering the entire sky that was already dark enough. Now, it looked even darker, and the visibility was less than five meters.

These were thousands of bulls.

They galloped forward crazily as if they had been provoked. The scene was too strange. Moreover, there seemed to be something in the middle. Although they were moving west overall, the area in the middle that was constantly spinning and emitting powerful energy actually had the aura of a human.

Li Yuanqing originally did not intend to disturb them, but after sensing the two colliding auras inside, he secretly circled around the beast pack and sneaked into the central area.

These thousands of bulls only knew how to run with their heads lowered. Their intelligence was relatively low. The ones inside were slightly stronger. They did not have to run at full speed. Even if they were busy with their own things, they could maintain the stability of the entire team.

“Good lord, it seems like these stupid bulls don’t intend to let us go. I didn’t expect us brothers to fall at the hands of a group of stupid bulls!”

In the middle of them were a few human cultivators. They were dressed very simply and only barely covered the important parts of their bodies. There were three men and one woman.

It was unknown why these four people had appeared here. However, judging from the artifacts in their hands, they were typical natives of the Catacombs.

Fortunately, the humans living in the Catacombs more or less knew some simple weapon refinement methods. They would gather the materials and make them into handy weapons. They could barely be used. It was even a little difficult to classify them.

However, sometimes, they would obtain some relatively rare materials. Those powerful materials could still unleash a considerable effect with their own strength.

It was obvious that these people were the people who had always lived in the Catacombs. The swords and sabers in their hands were all very simple. There were basically no complicated array patterns inside, only bodies made of materials.

It was very similar to the refining methods of ordinary people. Although most of their spiritual energy had been exhausted, their expressions were still radiant.

They had lived in the wilderness for a long time and their physical strength had been forged to a very powerful level. After such a long period of torture, they had consumed so much spiritual energy, but their physical strength still allowed them to forcefully withstand it.

“Big Brother, we really can’t hold on anymore. We have to break out. If we don’t, we’ll be dragged to death by these stupid bulls.”

“That’s right. These guys have made up their minds to exhaust us here. We can’t continue like this.”

On one hand, this team was still guarding against the attacks of the bull that had rushed in. On the other hand, they were still discussing the details of breaking through.

The big brother, who was a burly man, had very strong muscles in his upper body that were exposed. They were angular and looked like they were carved from stone.

The second brother was slightly weaker, but his entire body was very well-proportioned. However, he was not that big, his muscles were still very obvious.

The third was the only woman. This woman’s face was cold and she usually did not smile. No matter what the others said, she did not seem to have anything to say. However, this woman had a rare anxious expression on her face, as if she could not calm down at all in the current situation.

The fourth brother was a young kid. This kid had brute force all over his body and his big eyes were wide open. He was no different from those bulls.

It was the second and third brothers who had spoken just now. They looked at the situation in front of them. Those bulls had surrounded them with ease. If this continued, what would the outcome be? The four of them knew the answer.

The big brother’s face was solemn. He knew that if they wanted to break out of the encirclement, someone had to cover their retreat. However, there were thousands of bulls, and these guys were very intelligent. There could not be only one person left to cover their retreat. That meant that the two brothers had to risk their lives to send the other two away.

In fact, if those two brothers did not hold on, the other two would not be able to leave at all. This was clearly a suicidal move.

Seeing her brother’s hesitation, the third sister shouted, “Big Brother, if we don’t decide, none of us will be able to leave!”

“Big Brother!” The second brother looked at the big brother sincerely and said, “It’s fate that we brothers can be together in this life. There’s no need to say anything about living and dying together now that we’ve encountered such a calamity. The treasures we obtained this time are enough for the two of us to break through and live on for us brothers!”

The big brother gritted his teeth and suddenly said, “Alright, it’s decided then. Fourth Brother and I will cover the retreat. You guys leave first!”

As the big brother spoke, a dark talisman appeared in his hand. It was unknown how long this talisman had been hidden. It seemed to have been many years.

The second brother hurriedly pulled his brother. “Big Brother, no, you have to leave. You and Third Sister, the two of you leave. Fourth Brother and I will stay. We’re younger and have a lot of spiritual energy in our bodies. There won’t be any problems.”

“Cut the crap. Hurry up and leave. It’ll be too late if you don’t leave now!” As he spoke, he threw the talisman in his hand into the sky.

Suddenly, a golden pillar of light erupted towards the north. The few bulls in the central area hurriedly dodged it, but the bulls at the periphery were not so lucky.

Many bulls rushed forward in a daze. After being swept by the golden light, they instantly turned into bubbles. Their lives were gone.

“If you don’t leave now, when will you!” As the big brother shouted, his second brother and third sister no longer had any time to argue. They could only grit their teeth and rush out.

After the two of them ran out of the bull herd, the inside instantly fell silent.

The bulls still kept their heads lowered and ran west desperately, as if nothing had happened. There was no more movement from the central area, and no bulls even came out to chase them.

The second brother and third sister had sorrowful expressions on their faces as they stared blankly at the middle of the herd. They did not believe that their big brother had died just like that.

“Big Brother is gone.”

“No, Big Brother can’t be dead. Big Brother has the protection of a god. He must still be alive!” The second brother said stubbornly, but two tears had already appeared on his face.

The small mountain that the two of them were on was not big and did not have much cover. It was already very risky for the two of them to stand here, but they did not expect that no bull would chase after them.

At this moment, the second brother suddenly sensed that something was wrong and turned around.

At some point, someone had appeared behind him. This person had a fair face and was tall. He held a light fan in his hand and had a gentle smile.

If he had met such a young master elsewhere, the second brother would definitely not be wary. However, this fellow’s appearance was too strange.

The two of them were extremely nervous just now and did not realize that such a person had approached them, let alone appear less than ten feet behind them. If the other party had a knife, they would have been killed.

“Who are you?”

Li Yuanqing smiled and waved his fan. The fan emitted a faint flower fragrance.

“It doesn’t matter who I am. What matters is that the two of you are here. Are you waiting for someone?”

“What’s it to you?”

“That’s right. It really has nothing to do with me. However, I want to ask about something. I wonder if the two of you can provide me with some clues.”

The second brother was originally very nervous, but when he heard that Li Yuanqing was asking about something, he slowly relaxed his guard and stood up to lower the long saber in his hand.

“What are you going to ask?”

Li Yuanqing smiled at the two of them. “I see that the two of you are from the east. I wonder if you know about the Evil Spirit Valley in the east?”

The second brother looked at Li Yuanqing in confusion and said, “The Evil Spirit Valley is famous in this area. Anyone who lives here has heard of the reputation of the Evil Spirit Valley. Why are you asking this?”

Li Yuanqing smiled and said, “It’s nothing. There were some problems when I was cultivating. I need a medicinal herb that I might be able to find in the Evil Spirit Valley.”

Hearing Li Yuanqing’s words, the second brother sneered and looked at Li Yuanqing pitifully. “Brother, I advise you to look elsewhere. Don’t waste time here. If you need the herbs in the Evil Spirit Valley to sustain your illness, I’m afraid there’s no hope.”

“I wonder why you say that?”

The second brother was about to speak when his third sister tugged at his clothes and secretly said to him via voice transmission, “We can’t stay here for long. Big Brother just had an accident. The two of us should refine that thing and increase our cultivation before going to find him.”

The second brother retracted his words and looked at Li Yuanqing. “That’s all I can tell you. That place is not a place ordinary people can go. Basically, most of the people who go inside will die. Don’t even think about it.”

“What a coincidence. There’s nothing wrong with me usually, but I’m a little stubborn. If there’s really such a challenge, I’m a little interested in going in and taking a look.”

The second brother was originally planning to leave with his third sister. He did not expect that not only did Li Yuanqing not listen to his advice, but he was also stubborn and kept talking.

“Kid, don’t you understand what we’re saying? That’s a dangerous place. Even a Formation Arrangement Realm expert won’t be able to come out alive. Let alone a kid like you, you should give up on this idea early and go back to the auction.”

The two of them completely ignored Li Yuanqing. However, at this moment, Li Yuanqing waved his hand and a strange scene suddenly appeared in front of him.

This was a very beautiful world of flowers and plants. In the flowers and plants, there were two people sleeping soundly.

Originally, the second brother and third sister did not intend to continue arguing with Li Yuanqing. However, the moment they saw the two of them, their eyes widened and were about to pop out.

.

“Big Brother!”

The third sister stared at Li Yuanqing warily. “Who are you? Why is there an image of my brother?”

Li Yuanqing smiled at the two of them and said, “It’s nothing. I just happened to pass by a certain valley and saw the two of them, so I came down. I think the two of you are looking for them.”

“How is that possible? Big Brother is clearly already in the herd…”

Li Yuanqing closed the fan in his hand and smiled at the two of them. “Why don’t I make a deal with you?”

“What deal?”

Li Yuanqing pointed to the west and said, “I saw these two people in a valley a thousand miles west. The two of them are not in a good state. If you can’t rush over in time, their lives will be in danger.”

Li Yuanqing’s words stunned the two of them. They did not know what Li Yuanqing was trying to say. They were still together just now. How could their brothers be a thousand miles away?

Li Yuanqing continued, “I’ll tell you the whereabouts of the two of them. You can send one person to save them and then the other person will bring me to find the Evil Spirit Valley. How about that?”

The second brother and third sister looked at each other and saw the deep confusion in each other’s eyes. They really could not understand what was going on. It was as if something had happened that they had not noticed at all.
