Chapter 245: Fighting for Fortunes

Chapter 245 Fighting for Fortunes

The sky turned dark, and there were cold breezes in the air.

The Longcheng City was brightly lit, but the roars of beasts kept resounding outside the city.

Yan Yi left.

“Master, can we trust him?” Yan Chong asked after hesitating for a while.

Chu Xun nodded slightly. He possessed the Evocation of Heavenly Secrets, so he would never make a wrong judgment about a person.

“I think he is something,” Lei Bao said.

Winsome Widow nodded in agreement and said, “This man has a fair appearance. I don’t think he is a scheming person. It’s just that... his cultivation is a little low.”

“I don’t care whether he is trustworthy or not. If he dares to betray us, I’ll kill him.” Jiu You’s childish voice was full of murderous intent.

Chu Xun raised his hand and flicked on her smooth forehead, saying, “While we adults are talking, you, a small child, should keep quiet.”

Jiu You pulled a long face, looking very aggrieved.

Seeing this, Yan Chong and others sweated heavily. They reckoned that Chu Xun was the only one who dared to treat Jiu You, a ruthless girl, like that.

After that, Chu Xun continued, “It’s okay that his cultivation is low. As long as we get the treasure houses of the Tianlong Fort and the Sifang Sword Sect, I promise I’ll make you guys strengthen your cultivation quickly.”

Yan Chong and the others couldn’t help laughing happily. After staying with Chu Xun in the past several days, they had become full of admiration for him.

“Master, look!” Lei Bao suddenly exclaimed.

However, there was no need for him to shout because Chu Xun had already stood up and looked outside the window.

Outside the Longcheng City, a three-colored light beam shot up into the sky from the mountains and reached the clouds, connecting heaven and earth.

“It looks that the rumors are true. The relic has appeared,” Lei Bao muttered.

At the same time, an uproar broke out among the warriors in the Longcheng City. Those warriors had come here to look for the relic and seize treasures.

A large number of warriors rushed to the outside of the city and went straight to the light beam.

“Master, let’s go there quickly. There are so many people, I’m afraid that we won’t be able to gain anything if we fall behind them. It’s said that the light beam would only appear randomly. I didn’t expect it to appear at this time,” Lei Bao said urgently.

Yan Chong pulled him back and said, “Don’t worry. Master has his own plan.”

Lei Bao scratched his head, shrank his neck, and stole a glance at Chu Xun. When he found that Chu Xun didn’t look angry, he breathed a sigh of relief.

“Be patient. It’s not the first time that the light beam has appeared. If it’s really so easy to seize those treasures, there won’t be any treasure left there. Besides, with so many fierce beasts outside the city, I’m afraid that many people will get killed if they go there so recklessly,” Chu Xun said indifferently.

“They’re so greedy and want something beyond their ability, so they deserve to die,” Jiu You said before going to hide in a corner.

Chu Xun put down his hand that was raised and glared at her. Jiu You was originally a demonic beast, so she had a strong killing desire.

Yan Chong and the others tried their best not to laugh. When Jiu You fought against Chai Yuan, she appeared so overbearing. Yet, she was afraid of being flicked on the forehead by Chu Xun.

“Let’s go there and have a look,” Chu Xun said.

As soon as they went out, they met Yan Yi and his companions.

“Greetings, master.”

Yan Yi’s companions all knew that they would have to follow Chu Xun’s lead from that day on.

The two groups of people headed toward the light beam together.

The three-colored light beam was so eye-catching and shone so brightly that the area within five kilometers was lit up as bright as day.

Chu Xun and his companions came to the outside of the city. Before they entered the jungle, they smelled the pungent smell of blood. From time to time, miserable screams could be heard in the jungle, and the roars of birds and beasts resounded through the mountains.

Chu Xun moved slowly and thus was left behind them. When he stepped into the jungle, he saw dead bodies, broken arms, and large patches of blood along the way.

“Be careful, everyone,” Chu Xun reminded them.

There were many fierce beasts in the forest, and now those beasts were getting stronger and stronger. For those Human Kings, they were not afraid of those beasts, but those Grandmasters would be in danger if they encountered those beasts.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, a black shadow jumped out from behind the tree and flew across the sky, as fast as lightning, with hissing and whooshing sounds.

Yan Yi reacted very quickly. He punched toward the shadow, causing strong winds in the air, and the shadow fell onto the ground.

As they looked at the black shadow, they found that it was a strange black snake as thick as a chopstick. The snake’s head was very sharp and covered with scales, looking like it could pierce everything.

After the evolution of the earth, many creatures that had never been seen before appeared.

“What a strange little snake!” A grandmaster walked over to the snake and looked at it curiously.

Chu Xun raised his eyebrows. When he saw that the Grandmaster tried to kick the snake with his feet, he raised the tip of his eyebrows and said, “Don’t touch it.”

As soon as Chu Xun finished speaking, the strange snake that had been hacked to death suddenly bounced up like a black light and shot directly at the throat of the Grandmaster. It was so fast that no one present could react to it.

Woosh!

A gush of Immortal Qi shot out and cut the snake’s head off.

The Grandmaster was scared out of his wits, his forehead covered with beads of sweat, and he gasped for breath with lingering fear.

“Thank you, master.” The Grandmaster came to his senses and thanked Chu Xun in a hurry.

Chu Xun glanced at him and said, “Be careful. It’s a dangerous place.”

The Grandmaster lowered his head in shame.

Others were very surprised to find that this snake didn’t die even after taking a blow from a half Human King. Its defensive power was really terrifying. If a Grandmaster took such a blow from a Human King, he would die. Thus, if it weren’t for Chu Xun, the snake would have pierced the Grandmaster’s throat.

Seeing what had happened to the Grandmaster, everyone became extremely careful.

“Roar...!”

A giant wolf suddenly blocked their way. It was three meters long and had a sharp mouth and fangs. The strange thing about the wolf was that it was red all over its body. It was the first time for them to see a red wolf.

The giant red wolf stared at Chu Xun and the others. Its eyes were scarlet, and its hair all stood up like red needles. Mucus dripped down from its mouth, and there were blood stains on its sharp fangs. As it breathed, two flames spurted out of its nostrils and burned the withered leaves on the ground.

“Awoo!”

With a howl, the giant wolf spat out a raging flame and went straight to Chu Xun. The terrifying heat of the flame distorted the air.

“A wolf that can breathe out fire?” Everyone was stunned.

Buzz!

There were surging ripples in front of Chu Xun, and they formed a light wall that was surrounded by Immortal Qi.

When the raging flame collided with the wall, layers of ripples appeared on the wall, and the flame was bounced back.

The red giant wolf panicked like a human being, with a panic-stricken look in its scarlet eyes. It suddenly jumped a few meters away to dodge the fire, and as a result, the fire hit a big tree and instantly burned it into ashes.

Winsome Widow was shocked inside that the power of the flame was as powerful as that of those skills of hers.

Lei Bao rushed forward and struck out a violent thunder ball. The giant wolf opened its mouth and spat out a fireball. The two balls collided and exploded. The thunder and lightning flashed in the horrible flames and crushed all the rocks and ancient trees around.

Lei Bao pounced on the giant wolf and smacked its head with thunder and lightning flashing around his palm. There was a sound of metal on metal immediately.

The giant wolf fell backward with its four claws trying to grab the ground, leaving four deep trenches on the ground.

Lei Bao took a few steps backward, and his eyes were full of surprise. The wolf’s head was so hard and seemed to be made of steel.

“Awoo!”

The wolf howled in anger, and its hair was surrounded by flames. It suddenly charged at Lei Bao.

Lei Bao turned his palm, and a huge mace appeared in his hands. A fierce aura spread in the place as he waved the mace toward the wolf.

Thump!

The muffled explosion sound sounded like drum beating, and the giant wolf was knocked away violently.

The huge wolf fell to the ground and cracked it. It rolled a few times before rising to its feet. Its scarlet eyes were full of hatred as it glanced at Lei Bao. Then, it turned to flee.

Everyone was stunned. This huge wolf’s defensive power was so amazing that even Lei Bao was shocked by it and forgot to chase it.

The mace was a secret treasure. Although he didn’t use his full strength when he hit the wolf with the mace just now, the power behind the blow could disable a half Human King. However, the wolf didn’t get injured at all.

Swoosh!

Chu Xun moved with each of his steps crossing several hundred meters. He caught up with the giant wolf in a few seconds and made a hand print.

The void began rumbling, and an ancient and overwhelming aura spread in the place. The pressing force was earth-shaking as the finger print fell downward.

Demon-slain Finger—scaring all the gods and ghosts by the third finger!

Boom!

The mountains and the ground began shaking, and terrifying dust waves rose up in the air while a storm spreading away.

After a long time, the smoke disappeared, and the dust settled. A horrible big hole appeared on the ground. The giant wolf shone dimly and collapsed at the bottom of the hole. Its nose and mouth were bleeding.

Everyone, including Yan Chong, felt their hair stand on end. They could tell that the bones of the giant wolf were all broken.

This was the demeanor of Chu the Devil, who was as strong and tyrannical as before. They were glad that they had followed him.

Chu Xun flicked his finger, and a beam of purple light shot out. Blood spurted out several meters high in the air as the giant wolf was beheaded.

Another beam of purple light shot out, and the huge wolf’s head was cut in two halves. A nail-sized, fire-red spinel appeared, the temperature of the surroundings suddenly rose high, and the air was distorted by the heat.

Yan Chong and the others retreated in a hurry. The heat was so horrible that they felt their blood was boiling.

The red spinel was sucked into Chu Xun’s palm. Just as he had expected, it was a piece of Fire Spinel.

Fire Spinel was usually produced in magma, and it was hard for it to come into being and for others to get it. Though the Fire Spinel in Chu Xun’s hand was just a semi-finished product, it could easily burn a half Human King into ashes. Since they were deep into the jungle, where did this Fire Spinel come from? How could it be swallowed by a wolf? The whole thing appeared strange.

Chu Xun sealed the power of the Fire Spinel before throwing it to Winsome Widow and saying, “Although the quality of this Fire Spinel is not high, it is very useful for you now. You can slowly absorb and refine it, which will increase your fighting capacity a lot.”

“Thank you, master!” Winsome Widow was overjoyed. Holding the Fire Spinel in her hand, she felt that the furious power of the spinel was echoing with her cultivation of fire.

“The skin and bones of this wolf are all good things. The skin can be made into clothes that can’t be penetrated by blades or spears. The bones can be made into accessories, which is good for our practice,” Chu Xun said.

Hearing that it was beneficial for cultivation, Yan Chong and the others became excited. They swarmed forward and began to seize the skin and bones of the wolf.

A moment later, every part of the three-meter-long giant wolf was taken away. A Grandmaster even collected the soil that was stained by the wolf’s blood.

The group of people moved on. They didn’t encounter any fierce beasts but some ordinary beasts during the following time. Those Grandmasters seized the chance to kill those ordinary beasts.

Later, Chu Xun and the others came to the mountain where the three-colored light beam was. The mountain was less than a kilometer high, and the light beam was at the mountainside.

The entire mountain was enveloped in a black halo, and the ripples were surging around it. No one dared to approach it because a few grandmasters who tried to approach the mountain in a hurry were turned into blood mists.

There was a huge crowd of warriors at the foot of the mountain.

Chu Xun’s divine sense spread away but was bounced back by the halo.

“A restriction?” A bad feeling suddenly arose in Chu Xun’s heart.

“Chu Xun, this mountain is weird.” Jiu You’s small face appeared solemn.

“Did you feel anything strange?”

Jiu You nodded. She was a demonic beast and had a sharp sense. This mountain gave her a very evil and bloody feeling.

“Yan Yi, take everyone back to the hotel and wait for me.”

Yan Yi was slightly stunned. Seeing Chu Xun’s serious expression, he instantly understood that there must be something wrong.

“Master, be careful.” Yan Yi quickly retreated to the hotel with other grandmasters, along with the half Human Kings of the Fire Dragon Palace.

Thus, Yan Chong, Lei Bao, Winsome Widow, Chu Xun, and Jiu You were the only five left there.

“If something dangerous happens, retreat from the battle quickly and go back to the hotel and leave the city with others,” Chu Xun said.

Yan Chong and the others nodded in unison.

“Some of them are retreating,” In the crowd, several people dressed in black robes were whispering to each other.

“Did something go wrong with our plan?”

“No, they should have left for other reasons.”

“Shall we stop them and kill them?”

“No need. Don’t alert our enemy. They are just several nobodies. We can’t ruin our plan for them.”
