【Chapter 099】Take advantage of the situation
Ye Yisheng asked in a voice transmission: [Should we take advantage of their trick or avoid it? 】
After a little thought, Nangong Chenyu made a decision.
[Let’s take advantage of their own tactic!] Even if the higher-ups of Yunjue Palace see us, we will just give them a taste of their own medicine. If the top leaders of Yunjue Palace will eliminate us because of our actions. It would be better not to stay in such a sect that suffers so much bullying! 】
In fact, Nangong Chenyu still hopes that Yunjue Palace can be like the Sword Sect where he stayed in the Xuanwu Realm, the kind of sect that avenges grudges and protects its disciples.
After all, my eldest brother has already joined Yunjue Palace.
If Yun Juegong is unreliable, he will definitely find a way to take his eldest brother away.
Ye Yisheng suddenly realized: [No wonder you asked me to change into a cheaper robe before. Did you guess that they would sprinkle beast-attracting powder on us? 】
It’s not that Nangong Chenyu guessed it, but using beast-attracting powder is a common practice for some cultivators with impure intentions.
In the Xuanwu Realm, Nangong Chenyu had experienced the incident of being secretly sprinkled with beast-attracting powder.
The most memorable time was when multiple sects entered the secret realm together to look for resources for cultivation. Not long after the disciples of the Sword Sect arrived in the secret realm, they were sprinkled with beast-attracting powder by several disciples from a sect that they usually did not get along with.
At that time, many monsters were attracted and a beast tide was formed.
They were a group of sword cultivators who went crazy and killed people.
After the war, the corpses of monsters piled up into a mountain. In the end, no one knew whether the beast-luring powder was driving the monsters crazy or driving all of their sword cultivators crazy.
Because compared to the monsters, it seemed that the people from their Sword Sect were more likely to have been poisoned by the manic drug in the beast-luring powder.
Of course, those sect disciples who plotted against them were also killed by them.
Even though we provoked them like that before, they didn't attack us. I guessed they were trying to play dirty tricks. In places where there are monsters, many cultivators will use beast-luring powder to deal with the enemies. 】
[Will this attract too many monsters and make it impossible to kill them all? 】
Ye Yisheng was a little worried.
Although Nangong Chenyu is powerful in swordsmanship, he is just one person.
Have you forgotten yourself? 】Nangong Chenyu reminded.
[…I can only fight one against one at best.] 】Ye Yisheng is clear about his own fighting ability.
While the two were communicating, the three had already reached the entrance of the cave.
There was a breeze blowing towards him, and Wu Jun was delighted, thinking that the heaven was helping him. He unnoticed the mouth of the porcelain bottle in his hand, allowing the animal powder to float out of the bottle. The wind blew onto Nangong Chenyu and Ye Yishen behind him.
He thought he was being secretive, but he didn't know that his every move was being seen by Nangong Chenyu, whose spiritual awareness was at a higher level than his.
Just when he thought he had succeeded, Nangong Chenyu suddenly took two steps forward and quickly and accurately grabbed his right hand holding the porcelain bottle.
"What's in the porcelain bottle?"
Wu Jun never expected that his act of sprinkling animal-attracting powder on the two people would be exposed. He panicked for a moment, then shouted confidently: "What are you doing? Let me go!"
As he said this, he wanted to destroy the porcelain vase.
Nangong Chenyu would never give him a chance. With a slight bend, his hand broke.
The right hand is broken, but the left hand is still there.
Just when Wu Jun was about to attack Nangong Chenyu with his left hand, his left hand was grabbed by someone.
Ye Yishen quickly broke Wu Jun's left wrist and dismembered his arm. He had spiritual energy in his body but was unable to cast attacking spells.
Finally, Ye Yishen shot a stream of spiritual energy into his throat without leaving any trace, making him unable to speak.
Taking the porcelain bottle from Wu Jun's hand, Nangong Chenyu put it under his nose and sniffed it under Wu Jun's angry gaze.
Generally, apart from alchemists, only monsters can smell the scent of beast-attracting powder.
That's why Wu Jun was fearless, as he was certain that Nangong Chenyu could not smell that there was animal-attracting powder in the porcelain bottle. With the high-level officials of Yunjue Palace watching, the two men didn't dare to do anything to him.
What he didn't expect was that the next moment Nangong Chenyu said: "The porcelain bottle contains beast-attracting powder."
As if he thought of something, Nangong Chenyu immediately raised one arm and smelled his sleeve.
Then he looked at Wu Jun in shock.
"You were just using the wind direction to sprinkle beast-attracting powder on us."
Wu Jun's eyes widened and he looked at Nangong Chenyu with disbelief. It's like saying: Didn't you say that none of you are alchemists? How did you smell that the thing in the porcelain bottle was animal-attracting powder?
Unfortunately, no one answered his doubts.
Nangong Chenyu said angrily: "Wu Jun, do you know what the consequences will be if we are stained with beast-attracting powder?"
Ye Yisheng cooperated and said, "He definitely knows."
Wu Jun: “…”
Nangong Chenyu stared at Wu Jun: "Why are you doing this?"
Without waiting for Wu Jun to answer, Nangong Chenyu continued, "When the eight of you gathered together to communicate with each other, were you planning to sprinkle beast-attracting powder on us?"
Ye Yisheng continued: "They must want to use the monsters to eliminate us, or let the monsters kill us."
Wu Jun: “…”
"I didn't expect you to be such people!" Nangong Chenyu's eyes were filled with disappointment: "It's a good thing that Yisheng and I still consider you as teammates. We decided to perform well next time. We won't hold you back and make you look at us with new eyes."
Wu Jun rolled his eyes and looked at him with new eyes.
Ye Yisheng added: "Fortunately, we have been on guard against them before, and we didn't use our full strength when fighting the Flame Tiger. Even if we are eliminated today, we will drag them along."
Wu Jun had mixed feelings.
The strength of the two is far above his.
With his vital point grasped by Nangong Chenyu, he didn't dare to make any other moves. If the two of them took away the jade slip given to him by Yunjue Palace, wouldn't he die here?
Wu Jun regretted it so much at this moment. If he had known earlier, he would have let someone else do this.
The smell of the animal-attracting powder spread in the wind.
After smelling it, the nearby monsters excitedly moved towards where Nangong Chenyu and the other two were standing.
“Awooo~Roar~”
"You're right! If we're going to be eliminated, then we'll all be eliminated together." After saying this to Ye Yisheng, Nangong Chenyu turned to look at Wu Jun and asked, "Where are the others?"
Although it was dark, Wu Jun could still clearly see the cruelty in Nangong Chenyu's black eyes. His whole body trembled involuntarily. He wanted to escape, but he couldn't.
Nangong Chenyu's spiritual sense had already detected the other seven people. Now that Wu Jun couldn't speak, he didn't think of asking Wu Jun to answer his questions.
He turned his head towards the seven people.
He said, “Look over there.”
Wu Jun: "..."
Did he look over there just now?
How come he doesn't know it himself?
Nangong Chenyu continued: "So the others are over there."
Wu Jun: “…” I’m numb, whatever you say is what it is!
Nangong Chenyu called Ye Yisheng: "Let's go find the others."
Ye Yisheng nodded: "Okay."
Nangong Chenyu dragged Wu Jun and Ye Yishen towards where the seven people were.
In order to prevent the higher-ups of Yunjue Palace from seeing that they were plotting against Nangong Chenyu and Ye Yishen, Qin Yongzhi actually brought six other people to kill the monster.
That was why the seven of them knew that Wu Jun was captured by Nangong Chenyu and his men.
Before Nangong Chenyu and the other two got close, the Iron-Armored Lion, which was being beaten by Qin Yongzhi and his seven men, smelled the unique aroma of the beast-luring powder. He broke through the siege regardless of anything and rushed towards Nangong Chenyu and the other two.
Seeing the armored lion running towards the three of them, Nangong Chenyu asked Wu Jun: "Fellow Daoist Wu, where did you get the beast-attracting powder? It seems to be quite effective!"
"Since we are a team, we naturally have to share the difficulties." As he said that, Nangong Chenyu took out a porcelain bottle and used his spiritual energy to sprinkle some of the beast-attracting powder in the bottle on Wu Jun.
Wu Jun's pupils trembled.
Why can animal-attracting powder be poured out from a porcelain bottle?
He had clearly sprinkled all the beast-attracting powder in the porcelain bottle on Nangong Chenyu and Ye Yishen, and only a little bit remained on the bottle body which could not be poured out.
Beast-luring powder is generally not available outside. The beast-luring powder that Nangong Chenyu took out was the one he had looted from a black-robed male cultivator outside the Yunjue Palace market.
Not only that, the beast-luring powder he took out was a strengthened version.
Ordinary beast-luring powder can only attract monsters within a radius of one thousand meters, while the enhanced version of beast-luring powder can attract monsters within a radius of three thousand meters.
The Iron-Armored Barbarian Lion was getting closer and closer, and Qin Yongzhi and his seven men were chasing after it. The original plan of the eight people was to wait until there were more monsters, and when the situation was chaotic, attack Nangong Chenyu and Ye Yisheng.
Little did they know that Nangong Chenyu and Ye Yishen had the same plan.
"You have to hold on a little longer." Nangong Chenyu let go of Wu Jun and took Ye Yishen through the woods nearby to the back of the Iron-Armored Lion.
Nangong Chenyu asked Ye Yisheng to wait on the side while he went alone to sprinkle animal-attracting powder on Qin Yongzhi and the others.
The Iron-Armored Lion is not only huge in size, but its hide is also as hard as its armor. At the same level, the Iron-Armored Lion's combat power is several times that of other ordinary monsters, making it very difficult to kill.
The Iron-Armored Lion that Qin Yongzhi and his seven companions were chasing was at the peak of level one, just one step away from level two.
The aroma that made the beast obsessed suddenly appeared in two places. The Iron-Armored Lion paused for a moment and ran towards the Wu army.
Compared with Nangong Chenyu and Ye Yishen, the scent of Wu Jun is more liked by the Iron-Armored Lion.
Wu Jun was also running in the direction of Qin Yongzhi and his companions, but he was running in the other direction. While running, he sent a message to Qin Yongzhi: [Brother Qin, save me, my arm was broken by Nangong Chenyu and the other man. 】
"Quick, stop the Iron-Armored Lion." Qin Yongzhi shouted to the six people.
The six people who were originally chasing the Iron-Armored Lion at a leisurely pace immediately attacked the Iron-Armored Lion.
With six people blocking the way and too many trees in the forest, Wu Jun successfully bypassed the Iron-Armored Lion and joined Qin Yongzhi.
"What happened?"
While Qin Yongzhi was asking questions, he helped Wu Jun to close his hand.
At the same time, Nangong Chenyu also arrived beside Qin Yongzhi and others. Wu Jun looked at him, and the words he wanted to tell Qin Yongzhi were stuck in his throat.
Using his divine steps, Nangong Chenyu shuttled between several people, sprinkling beast-attracting powder on each of them equally.
While spreading the beast-attracting powder, he also took out the Qiankun bags hanging around the waists of several people.
After finishing, he left one more sentence.
"If you dare to plot against us, then you will have a taste of what you will face after someone sprinkles beast-attracting powder on you."
Qin Yongzhi and his companions were shocked at Nangong Chenyu's speed, and they had to deal with the armored lion. After hearing Nangong Chenyu's words and looking at the changes in the Iron-Armored Lion, several people secretly said: Not good.
The Iron-Armored Lion, which was originally normal, became manic and its eyes turned red after smelling the scent of the beast-luring powder.
Generally, the beast-attracting powder will lose its efficacy after one day. If you change your clothes, the monsters will not be able to smell the scent after half an hour. As for the enhanced version of the beast-luring powder, it won’t work even if you change your clothes. Just wait three days and the smell of the animal-attracting powder will disappear on its own.
Ji Su cursed: "Wu Jun, we are going to be killed by you."
Just then, the roars of monsters were heard one after another all around.
Just by listening to the sound, they knew that many monsters were running towards them.
Looking again, Nangong Chenyu and Ye Yishen had both disappeared.
"It's over, it's over. We've all been sprinkled with beast-attracting powder, and Nangong Chenyu has taken our Qiankun bag. Without the jade slip to withdraw from the assessment, we're dead."
"How did Nangong Chenyu and the others know about the beast-attracting powder?"
"Wu Jun, what benefit did you get from accepting Nangong Chenyu and the other two?"
While dodging the iron-armored lions, everyone blamed the Wu army.
Qin Yongzhi shouted, "Everyone calm down. It's no use blaming Wu Jun now. Wu Jun has also been sprinkled with beast attracting powder. We must kill the Iron-Armored Lion before other monsters arrive."
After saying that, he took the lead and used his ultimate move towards the Iron-Armored Lion.
The others had no opinions of their own and just did what he said.
Nangong Chenyu and Ye Yishen did not walk far. When they found a monster approaching, they immediately ran towards where Qin Yongzhi and the other eight were.
As soon as the eight men killed the Iron-Armored Lion, they met a pair of green eyes in the darkness.
"It's over. It's the Jungle Wolf."
The jungle wolf is a pack monster, and when it appears, there are always more than ten of them.
Suddenly, there was a sound of "tramping" footsteps behind them. Before the eight people could turn around, they heard Nangong Chenyu say, "There are also blue-eyed white apes and two-headed cheetahs over here."
At this moment, in the ears of the eight people, Nangong Chenyu's voice sounded like a devil's curse.
The leader wolf let out a "howl".
The blue-eyed white ape and the two-headed cheetah also howled.
"Cry~"
“Roar~”
Although no monsters appeared on the left and right sides, there were monsters that responded.
Surrounded by monsters, seven people looked ashen.
Just now when fighting against the armored lion, Qin Yongzhi took advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention and changed into a robe of the same color. He had two Qiankun bags, and the one Nangong Chenyu took was unimportant.
Under the stimulation of the beast-attracting powder, the monsters that came close quickly lost their minds. They rushed towards the crowd with such ferocious looks, as if they wanted to tear everyone to pieces.
The seven soldiers of Wu Jun have lost their fighting spirit, but Qin Yongzhi still wants to rely on these seven people to kill the monster. He immediately blocked the attack for them at the cost of his own injury and encouraged them.
"Don't just stand there like an idiot. We're all going to die anyway, so we have to kill a monster to get back our money."
Rather than the monster, the seven people seemed more interested in killing Nangong Chenyu and Ye Yishen. However, Nangong Chenyu's movements were so elusive that they wanted to kill the two men, but they were powerless.
However, Qin Yongzhi's words did arouse the bloodiness in their hearts, and they launched magical attacks on the monsters that were rushing towards them.
Nangong Chenyu used his magical steps and took Ye Yishen to dodge among the monsters.
