Chapter 4: Nether Fire
One hundred miles east of Youling City, there is a habitat for monsters called Liefeng.
There are many monsters and spiritual herbs in the Fierce Wind Forest. Every part of the monster's body is useful, so there are often cultivators coming to the Fierce Wind Forest to hunt monsters or pick spiritual herbs. The Fierce Wind Forest is very large, and there are low-level monsters on the periphery. The deeper you go, the more powerful the monsters are.
Some Qi-refining monks were hunting outside at this time. Suddenly, the ground shook slightly, and then drops of water splashed from somewhere and splashed onto their faces.
The water drop had a corrosive property and immediately a small hole was corroded on the face.
"Ah!" someone cried out in pain.
"What's going on?"
The monks on the periphery began to panic.
At this time, more than a dozen figures ran out of the forest in a panic, their faces were more or less corroded.
"Hurry! Someone has disturbed a level 3 Rotten Water Beast!"
They just hurriedly left these words and fled. Upon seeing this, the monks outside also fled, following the dozen or so monks.
Someone put a talisman on his body to catch up with one of the monks.
"My fellow Daoist, what happened in the forest? Isn't the Rotten Water Beast the companion beast of the Recovery Grass?"
Recovery Grass is a spiritual herb that can repair rotten wounds. It is an important material for making Recovery Pills. And because Recovery Grass has a companion beast, Recovery Pills, as third-grade pills, are naturally very expensive. One third-grade Recovery Pill costs one thousand spirit stones.
You know, a fourth-grade foundation-building pill only sells for one thousand spirit stones.
This was the right person to ask. He happened to be not far away at the time. The male cultivator said in a deep voice: "The one who startled the Rotten Water Beast was a male cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining. The Rotten Water Beast directly spit out a mouthful of Rotten Water, leaving no residue."
However, the young man who went in with him was far away and escaped the disaster, but half of his face and body were inevitably corroded, and he probably won't live long.
When the Rotten Water Beast was alarmed, he was the closest to it. Fortunately, he used a life-saving talisman to escape underground, otherwise he would have died there!
"That recovery grass..."
Hearing this, the male cultivator glanced at the person asking the question and sneered, "If you also want to be corroded to the point of leaving nothing behind, you can go back and take a look."
The Rotten Water Beast was about to advance to the fourth stage. Not to mention that he had reached the tenth stage of Qi Refining, even if he had reached the Perfect Qi Refining Stage or a senior in the Foundation Establishment Stage, he would not be able to do anything to him! After saying that, he no longer cared about the man and ran away at a faster speed.
In the forest.
Sensing a slight vibration, Chen Wei stopped and said to the cultivator who was protecting him, "Master Wei, it seems that someone who is not afraid of death has angered the monster again. Let's get out first."
Chen Wei responded and was about to leave when he heard a scream.
Several young boys and girls ran out of the forest with pale faces, and not far behind them was a third-level monster! When they saw Chen Wei, they hurriedly said, "Master Wei, help me!"
Chen Wei looked and saw that they were several disciples of the Zhao family, and the one who had just shouted for help was the daughter of the Zhao family head.
The Zhao family and the Chen family have a pretty good relationship, so he can't just stand by and watch them die.
"Save them."
"yes."
Several people took action to deal with the monster. The boys and girls were rescued and collapsed to the ground. Chen Wei walked over to ask.
"What's going on?"
Zhao Qingrong's eyes immediately turned red, and she threw herself into Chen Wei's arms, sobbing, "Someone alarmed the corrupted water beast. We happened to be not far away, and Zhao Lin was corrupted in order to save us. Wuwuwu, it's all my fault. If I hadn't insisted on going deeper into the forest, I wouldn't have run into the corrupted water beast..."
Chen Wei paused, but didn't push him away: "Who startled you?"
"I don't know. The man is dead."
"Okay, let's go back first..."
Before he finished speaking, a scream was heard.
One of the monks dealing with the Rotten Water Beast shouted, "Master Wei, run away! This Rotten Water Beast is about to reach the fourth stage! We can't deal with it!"
Chen Wei's heart sank, and he immediately helped Zhao Qingrong up.
"Hurry, they can't hold on any longer, let's go first."
As soon as the words were spoken, a shadow loomed over them and only a scream was heard.
"Master Wei, be careful!"
Along with the sound, Chen Wei was whipped by the beast's tail and fell heavily to the ground. A talisman fell from his arms. He spat out a mouthful of blood. A shattering pain spread throughout his body. When he sat up with difficulty, the beast corroded or bit to death the people who protected him in a few moves. Those from the Zhao family were not spared.
Seeing that Zhao Qingrong was about to be bitten to death by the rotten water beast, Chen Wei took out a lightning talisman from his storage bag and threw it at the rotten water beast. A bolt of lightning shot out from the talisman and struck the rotten water beast.
The rotten water beast let out a wail, immediately gave up on Zhao Qingrong and ran towards Chen Wei.
But Chen Wei had already taken out the defensive array, and he stayed inside, so the rotten water beast couldn't do anything to him for a while.
Chen Wei knew that his ability was not enough in front of the Rotten Water Beast, which was about to reach the fourth level. It was like tickling an itch. Therefore, he did not overestimate his own abilities to fight it. He took out handfuls of talismans and magic weapons from his storage bag and threw them at the Rotten Water Beast.
Faced with his fierce bombardment, the Corrupted Water Beast was actually injured by him and went into a state of madness, constantly spraying corrupted water at Chen Wei in the formation.
The wounds on the rotten water beast were getting more and more serious, the talismans were being consumed rapidly, and the formation was already on the verge of collapse under the violent impact of the rotten water beast.
Eventually, without a single talisman left, the formation was about to break.
The rotten water beast was seriously injured, but it was more than enough to bite Chen Wei to death.
Are you going to die?
Chen Wei closed his eyes and put his hands down, but what he touched was not the ground. He opened his eyes and looked over, and was stunned.
It was a low-level fire talisman I bought from Miss Xu. I had casually put it in my arms and forgot to put it into the storage bag.
He picked them up, then took out the remaining nine from his arms, and couldn't help but smile bitterly at the ten low-level fire talismans.
Perhaps ten intermediate fire talismans could still be of some use, but low-level fire talismans, even if the Rotten Water Beast was already seriously injured, were like tickling and were completely useless.
At this time, the formation was broken.
The water-rot beast bared its fangs.
Chen Wei subconsciously threw out the ten low-level fire talismans in his hand.
[Ding, the customer is so lucky! One of the low-level fire talismans actually triggered the Netherworld Fire with a one-thousandth chance! ]
Chen Wei could not hear any sound, he could only see that he threw out ten low-level fire talismans and actually produced flames that only mid-level fire talismans had. Among them there was even a cluster of purple-black flames. As soon as it touched the Corrupted Water Beast, the Beast let out a wailing sound. There was no longer a trace of anger or madness in the beast's eyes, only deep fear.
In a moment, the rotten water beast fell to the ground with a loud bang and turned into ashes.
In the distance, a young man whose cheek and half of his body were corroded saw this scene, his eyes flickering. -Seven days!
Seven days had passed and not a single customer had come to the store.
Xu Qiuqian sat on the soft cloud bed and looked eagerly. She had to admit that there were very few people coming to this street. Even if they came, they would leave before even reaching her store.
As the saying goes, good wine needs no bush.
But the premise is that the aroma of wine must float out of the alley! She only has a Shadow Moon Blade now, and the Shadow Moon Blade can't emit the aroma of wine.
Is she just waiting like this?
no!
Xu Qiuqian stood up.
This is not a solution.
No matter what, we must let others know that there is such a store.
She walked out, closed the shop door, and headed to Jinghong Street, another very busy commercial street near Hong'an Street.
Not long after she left, several monks came outside the store.
"Is this the place?"
"It must be here!"
"Let's go ahead and smash it!"
