Immortal Venerable of the Beast Race
Chapter 118 - 118 82 Trap_3

118: 82 Trap_3 118: 82 Trap_3 Hundreds of red fireballs collided with the green tornado, shattering instantly like eggs against rocks, and the green tornado rushed straight toward the Fire Crow King.

Just as the Fire Crow King was about to dodge, a sharp hiss sounded, slowing its reaction and causing it to be swept up into the green tornado by the powerful airflow.

Numerous green Wind Blades struck the Fire Crow King’s body in succession, a mass of feathers fell from its body, and blood was dripping everywhere.

With a loud bang, the green tornado burst open, and the Fire Crow King flew out, its body covered in blood, white bones visible, and its wings bent unnaturally with some bones clearly broken.

As it had just freed itself, a huge green Wind Blade descended from the sky, heading straight for the Fire Crow King’s head.

The Fire Crow King couldn’t dodge in time, and another sharp hiss rang out, making its head feel dizzy and slowing its response.

The giant Wind Blade grazed past the Fire Crow King’s head, chopping it off; the headless body fell from the sky.

With the help of the Iron Tail Scorpion, Shen Long easily killed the second-rank middle-stage Fire Crow King.

A Red Fire Crow descended from the sky, lunging at Shen Long.

Its reaction was swift, appearing above Shen Long’s head.

Dozens of thick green Vines burst forth from the ground, weaving into a massive green hand that grasped the claws of the Red Fire Crow and flung them down to the ground, where the Red Fire Crow’s body slammed heavily.

Before it could stand up, the Iron Tail Scorpion burst from underground, its tail transformed into patches of yellow silk threads that consecutively struck the Red Fire Crow, including its head.

A second-rank early-stage Red Fire Crow met its end just like that!

With the Fire Crow King gone, the remaining Red Fire Crows were no match.

Shen Long released a series of green tornadoes and swiftly annihilated the remaining Red Fire Crows with minimal effort.

Ye Hong and his companions were shocked, their eyes filled with wariness.

They had assumed Shen Long was just an Alchemist and wouldn’t be very strong, but now they could see that Shen Long’s strength was alarmingly formidable.

At this time, Lin Guang and his two companions also activated the Formation and wiped out the Red Fire Crows within the Formation.

“Taoist Friend Shen’s art is profound, having cultivated Wind Rolls the Remnants of Clouds to Great Perfection at such a young age, I commend you,” Ye Hong said with great admiration.

“It took me nearly ten years to master this technique,” Shen Long casually replied, not telling the truth, as the others didn’t know the precise time of his Foundation Establishment.

“Taoist Friend Shen, willing to spend so much time to cultivate a second-rank Art Technique, is truly a person of great determination.

I couldn’t do that,” Lin Guang said, full of envy.

Art Techniques are easy to learn but hard to master, a well-known fact; with that time, it would be better to use it for Cultivation, as not everyone who spends a lot of time practicing Art Techniques can bring them to Great Perfection.

“Yes!

Never thought that apart from Alchemy, Taoist Friend Shen’s Divine Skills are also extraordinary,” Yu Susu praised, her face showing respect.

“You all flatter me too much.

Let’s hurry and deal with the Monster Beast corpses and harvest the Red Moon Ganoderma!” Shen Long said modestly.

They had wiped out these Red Fire Crows, and Shen Long had exerted much effort, so naturally, he would take the larger share of the spoils; the Fire Crow King’s corpse belonged to him.

They distributed the Red Fire Crows’ bodies amongst themselves and entered the valley.

As they entered the cave, it was dry and dark within.

Before long, they arrived at the end, where on the bottom left of the cave were over a hundred red Lingzhi mushrooms, which looked very much like crescent moons, known as Red Moon Ganoderma.

Shen Long took fifty of the Red Moon Ganoderma, some of which were over a hundred years old; the rest were divided among Ye Hong and his group.

After leaving the cave, Lin Guang summoned a blue-light sparkling Flying Boat and boarded it; Shen Long and the others quickly followed suit.

Lin Guang pinched his spell, the blue Flying Boat shone with a ray of blue light and flew into the sky.

Once back in the marketplace, the five parted ways, each returning to their own homes.

Shen Long sold the first-rank Red Fire Crow corpses and bought a batch of first-rank Artifact Refining materials before returning to Qingtang Courtyard.

He entered a secret room and released the Iron Tail Scorpion; it had been a great help in the Monster Beast hunt this time, its Divine Sense Attack being very powerful, even the second-rank middle-stage Fire Crow King couldn’t endure it.

In a high-level battle, victory can be decided in an instant.

Iron Tail Scorpion’s use of Divine Sense Attack could affect an enemy for a moment, allowing Shen Long to launch his Wind Attribute Art Technique attacks.

Wind Attribute Art Techniques had swift attacks and formidable power.

The early second-stage Red Fire Crows were directly annihilated by Wind Rolls the Remnants of Clouds, whereas the mid second-stage Fire Crow King was severely injured.

The Iron Tail Scorpion let out a series of joyous hisses, its stinger swaying left and right as if to take credit for the accomplishment.

“You did well this time!

Not bad at all, these three hundred-year-old Ink Mustard Grasses are yours.”

Shen Long praised, took out three hundred-year-old Ink Mustard Grass, and fed them to the Iron Tail Scorpion.

After eating the three Ink Mustard Grasses, the Iron Tail Scorpion crawled to a corner to digest slowly.

Shen Long went to another stone chamber, entered the Spirit Control Tower, and arrived at the second floor.

He whistled, and the Fire Rock Beast ran over from afar, stopping in front of Shen Long.

Shen Long took out a red orb, the Demon Core of a second-stage Red Fire Crow, which contained abundant fire attribute power; consuming it would save the Fire Rock Beast a considerable period of seclusion for cultivation.

He fed the Demon Core to the Fire Rock Beast, which let out a loud roar and spat out a thick red flame, striking the ground and exploding a huge crater with signs of melting inside.

Shen Long trained the Fire Rock Beast in combat and let it move about freely afterward.

He left the Spirit Control Tower, sat down cross-legged, and began to cultivate.

One month quickly passed, and Shen Long stepped out of the secret chamber, planning to sell some elixirs.

He took out a messaging plate that flickered with blue light, infused a spell, and Chen Liang’s voice came through, “Master Uncle Yu, I’ve obtained a piece of Golden Cypress Stone for you!

Shall we do it like last time?”

“Golden Cypress Stone!

That’s a material for refining top-grade magic artifacts.

Where did you get it?”

Shen Long exclaimed in surprise.

“Invited by a friend to slay Monster Beasts, I unexpectedly found a piece of Golden Cypress Stone inside a late first-stage Swallowing Spirit Rat.”

Chen Liang explained.

After pondering for a moment, Shen Long said, “Let’s do this!

You keep it for now, and I will contact you later.”

“Yes, Master Uncle Yu.”

Chen Liang agreed.

…

At Piaoyun Courtyard, Li Jian, Chen Hong, and a burly man in a black shirt were sitting in the Stone Pavilion; Zhao Bin was reporting to them.

“Just like last time, he’ll contact Chen Liang after a while.”

Zhao Bin said.

“We’ve tampered with that piece of Golden Cypress Stone; as soon as he gets his hands on it, we’ll be able to track his position,” Li Jian said excitedly.

To dispel any doubts from the other party, they deliberately set the trap again after a year.

“What if he checks the Golden Cypress Stone on the spot?

It is a bit suspicious for Chen Liang to get a piece of Golden Cypress Stone.

Last time he offered a Green-Eyed Spirit Fox and now a Golden Cypress Stone; he might become suspicious.”

The man in the black shirt commented.

Liu Biao, at the initial stage of Foundation Establishment, specialized in body cultivation.

“We’ll follow Chen Liang when the time comes.

I believe his guard will have dropped significantly after the previous transaction,” Chen Hong said.

“Exactly.

If we can’t draw him out this time, it will be even harder in the future,” Li Jian analyzed.

“Golden Cypress Stone can be used to refine top-grade magic artifacts; if I were in his shoes, I wouldn’t reject it,” Liu Biao remarked.

“Let’s hope the fish takes the bait!

Capturing this person will allow us to report back to headquarters with good news, and hopefully, he has more secrets in his possession!” Li Jian said.

“With Junior Brother Liu here to help us this time, he won’t be able to escape if he dares to show up,” Chen Hong said, full of confidence.
