Chapter 493 Thief! This is a thief!
"Master? Master!" Liu Er exclaimed.
He watched helplessly as the old demon cultivator turned into complex colorful smoke and disappeared on the spot.
Liu Er subconsciously reached out his hand and caught nothing.
Liu Er hurriedly activated various spells and searched everywhere, but to no avail.
"Master isn't dead, is he?" Liu Er felt a chill in his heart. He stood still for a moment, at a loss as to what to do.
Soon, he shook his head and said to himself, "No, it won't happen. Master has mysterious means, how could he die so easily just because of this one time of instructing me?"
"But Master paid a huge price this time, that's for sure."
"Alas! He has given so much for me, I should fulfill my ambitions to repay him!"
After comforting himself, Liu Er finally left the forest hesitantly.
After a moment, wisps of smoke appeared out of thin air and gathered together at the same place.
At first, the smoke was grayish white, giving people a feeling of oldness and weakness. But as the smoke gathered more and more, some color gradually appeared in the pale smoke, as if it had come to life.
The colors quickly became rich and colorful, and suddenly condensed and turned into an old demon cultivator again.
The old man's face and exposed skin were a mixture of colorful colors.
After a few breaths, these brilliant colors quickly dimmed and faded away until the skin became no different from that of normal people.
The old demon cultivator's body shook and he suddenly opened his eyes, like a drowning person who was rescued to the shore and could finally breathe again. It was also as if he had broken free from an extremely horrific nightmare and returned to the real world.
“Huff, huff, huff…”
His expression suddenly became lively, and his face was full of horror.
"How is that possible?!"
"I just gave some pointers, how could I suffer such a terrible backlash and trigger my life-saving magical power - Yanxia Escape?"
“This doesn’t make sense!”
The look of horror froze on the old demon cultivator's face for a full cup of tea before it slowly faded away.
The old demon cultivator frowned and fell into deep thought: "Not good."
"When faced with a person whose luck and fate are surprising, fortune-telling will be an unbearable burden."
"I only considered Xiaoliu before and calculated the cost of giving him a hint."
"But obviously, this instigation involved a wide range of people and interfered with other powerful people, which is why this difficulty occurred."
Thinking of this, the old demon cultivator's expression became more gloomy.
The first person he thought of was Ning Zhuo.
"My advice to Xiaoliu will be most disadvantageous to Ning Zhuo."
"Could it be that I suffered backlash and casualties because of him?"
"hiss……"
"Could it be that the reason for Xiaoliu's failure this time was not the luck of the two Zhu countries and Mulan, but Ning Zhuo?!"
Thinking of this, the old demon cultivator could no longer sit still.
He immediately stood up, swallowed the spirit pearl, split open his forehead, revealing his bloody eyeballs, and began to observe the fortune of the Three Generals' Camp.
But I saw a three-eared monkey sitting quietly, with its eyes closed and its breathing steady.
The old demon cultivator stared at the appearance of the ape, and the bloody eyeball on his forehead emitted a mysterious light, becoming more and more dazzling.
The old man's flesh and blood shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Under his unique vision, the three-eared monkey gradually enlarged and became clearer and clearer.
He observed more secrets.
The three-eared ape's belly was slightly swollen, suggesting that the Three Generals' Camp itself was not short of military supplies.
With every breath the three-eared ape took, its belly would sink slightly and its entire body would expand slightly - this meant that the Three Generals' Battalion was growing stronger every moment.
These are all good signs of a positive trend.
But the old man was not satisfied with this, he wanted to see more of the essence.
He let out a light cry and took a deep breath. His whole body swelled up and he turned into a small giant. He sat cross-legged on the ground and crushed the nearby mountains and plants to the ground.
The old man closed his eyes tightly, and consumed his magic power, spiritual consciousness, and blood essence madly, trying his best to push the blood-red spirit bead on his forehead.
Lingzhu's eyeballs seemed to be twitching, sometimes staring straight ahead, sometimes squinting, sometimes circling, and sometimes the pupils spread into countless black dots, which turned into distorted clouds of smoke, and then suddenly condensed together.
In the old man's vision, the three-eared monkey enlarged again, and its body surface became transparent, revealing its inner essence.
The inside of an ape's body is very simple.
There is a heart that is earthy yellow in color, shaped like a monkey's head, with a pointed face and hairy cheeks, and a depressed expression. From time to time, the heart beats and makes a monkey-like sound, which reveals a strong sense of anxiety.
The old demon cultivator immediately understood: "This is Xiaoliu's fate."
The old demon cultivator looked at the lung next to him. The lung was red and full of blood. These blood veins were not bent, but straight, without any rounded curves at the bends.
And with every breath the ape takes, the blood lungs beat in rhythm.
The rhythm is mostly stable, but there are also chaotic parts.
Whenever there is disorder, the blood lung will twitch, and a strange purple light will emerge from the straight blood vessels.
"This is Guan Hong's fate."
"Guan Hong practices blood-based magic, and is arrogant by nature. His right arm was injured and has not healed yet, which has become a hidden danger."
There is also a kidney in the monkey's body.
The kidney was full and round, and completely black. The blackness surged, forming waves, and the sound of it hitting the shore again and again was as shocking as thunder.
"Zhang Hei practices water-based skills, has a tough personality, and is wealthy, which is indeed a perfect match for the symbol of the kidney."
"strangeness!"
"Where has Ning Zhuo's luck gone?"
There are only heart, lungs and kidneys in the body of apes, nothing else.
As for the lack of those soldiers, the old demon cultivator could understand it - the Three Generals Camp was just established not long ago, and although it had experienced a victory in an ambush, it had recently been targeted. Not only had its morale been severely damaged, but many of its people had also been poached by the White Jade Camp.
In addition, among these soldiers, the highest cultivation level is only at the foundation-building level, and they do not have the golden elixir at all.
Moreover, there is no special foundation-building cultivator like Ning Zhuo, and his strength is not strong enough.
Therefore, the symbol of these soldiers has always been the monkey's body hair, which grows outside the body. It is not the core part of the Three Generals' Camp's destiny and is dispensable.
"But Ning Zhuo's combat power has reached the Golden Core level, and he has become the son-in-law of the General's Mansion, the son of the Ning family, and the military advisor of the Three Generals' Camp. Why is there no luck for him?!"
"Where did you go?"
"Where?"
“Come out! Come out!!”
The less the old demon cultivator could see, the more frightened he became, and the more ferocious his expression became.
His originally huge body shrank rapidly like a punctured balloon! His life span was constantly decreasing! The bloody eyeballs on his forehead grew slightly larger, as if they were about to burst the eye sockets. Blood and foul-smelling sticky yellow liquid mixed together and continued to seep out from the edges of the eye sockets.
The severe pain in his body and mind began to torture the old demon cultivator, adding even more pain to his frightened and angry face.
After paying such a heavy price, he finally gained something.
He saw it!
Faintly, he saw a shadow shaped like a left arm.
The hand shadow is not fixed and moves freely within the ape's body.
Sometimes it would swing to the bloody lungs, scoop up countless blood threads gently, put them in its hands, clench them into fists, and the next moment it would open its palms, and there was nothing in its hands.
Sometimes it came to the black kidney, and with a slight hook, it would stir up a large amount of tide. The shadow of the arm was like a bottomless pit, and the tide sank into the arm without even a sound.
When it came near the yellow heart, the heart's monkey face made a sharp cry in anxiety. But this did not prevent the arm shadow from grabbing it.
He stretched out his left hand and grabbed it, taking a handful of Xuan Qi from the yellow heart. The Xuan Qi was quickly absorbed by his arm, and the monkey's scream became much weaker.
Seeing this scene, the old demon cultivator was dumbfounded, and his anger exploded. He screamed in his heart: "Thief! This is a thief!!"
“I see, that’s how it is!!”
"No wonder Xiaoliu failed. In the end, Ning Zhuo became Mulan's husband."
"Ning Zhuo, this thief, is stealing Xiaoliu's luck!"
"This is outrageous! This is outrageous!"
"Eliminate him, he must be eradicated!!"
There has never been a moment like this where the old demon cultivator's murderous intent was so fierce and surging.
He had never hated someone so deeply!
"Ning Zhuo!"
"You are the culprit for Xiaoliu's failure. You must be eradicated..."
The roar of the old demon cultivator came to an abrupt halt.
In reality, he has shrunk from a small giant to a dwarf.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Then, the dwarf looked old and pale all over.
The wind blows.
The dwarf turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared in the wind.
By the time the old demon cultivator emerged again, day had turned into night.
"The Yanxia Escape Magical Ability has been triggered again."
“But it’s all worth it.”
"I have seen the truth clearly. I will start the ritual right now and use the Great Breath-Snatching Mantra!"
The old demon cultivator had a ferocious look on his face.
"You, a thief, are stealing Xiaoliu's luck!"
"In just seven days and seven nights, I can curse you to death, and let your luck and fate be attached to Xiaoliu, helping him to have a strong luck for at least seven years!"
The old demon cultivator was filled with anger and hatred, and he did what he said. He immediately left Canglin Fairy City and flew to an uninhabited mountain top in the distance. After setting up the magic array, he began to set up the altar and then performed a ritual.
At this moment, Ning Zhuo had driven the Wanli Dragon, traveled through a section of the void, and came to a valley, where he started to repair the mechanical dragon.
The surface of the Wanli Youlong was severely damaged, especially its dragon scale armor, which already had large areas of cracks and damage.
Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong stood side by side.
The latter frowned as he looked at the large areas of damage.
The former, on the other hand, had a look of heartache on his face.
Ning Zhuo's love for mechanical creations comes from the bottom of his heart.
He had mixed emotions at this moment.
Both worried and excited.
He was worried about whether he could repair the Wanli Youlong, but he was also excited that he could personally lead the repair, which must be a wonderful experience.
Sun Lingtong used his spiritual sense to investigate, and his brows furrowed more and more.
He sighed in his heart: "Difficult, difficult, difficult!"
"There is no doubt that repairing the shell of Wanli Youlong is an arduous task. It not only requires sophisticated materials, but also requires the use of extremely advanced refining methods. In particular, it is necessary to ensure that its armor can be restored to its original hardness and flexibility so that it can cope with future harsh situations."
"After that, we will have to participate in a major war, and we may face pursuit and bombardment from the Six Cavern Sect's Nascent Soul masters again. We can't afford to suffer a loss like last time."
Thinking of this, Sun Lingtong cast his gaze towards Ning Zhuo: "Xiao Zhuo, let me help you. I will do whatever you ask me to do!"
Ning Zhuo nodded, and his spiritual sense continued to scan the mechanical dragon, carefully checking every crack and damage.
The outer armor of Wanliyoulong was badly damaged, and the inner armor was also missing in some places. This situation was more obvious in the back half of the dragon's body.
"The Wanli Wandering Dragon was created by the Lava Fairy Palace. Even the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit knows it, but not why."
"I also cannot tell how these dragon scale armor pieces are made."
Although Ning Zhuo's Five Elements realm is profound and his attainments in refining equipment are outstanding among his peers, Wanli Youlong is at the Nascent Soul level and comes from the Lava Fairy Palace, which is too advanced for him.
Therefore, analyzing the original dragon scales has exceeded the limit of his ability in this area.
"But this does not prevent me from repairing the inner and outer armor."
If your own strength is not enough, then you can make up for it with external resources.
If high-quality precious materials are piled up, they can also make huge bricks fly and break the situation with force!
"But..." Ning Zhuo was in hesitation.
He had already made a move before and purchased a large amount of precious materials from Jinli.
Based on the material reserves he had on hand, there were two options.
One method is to use dragon scale iron and dragon soul grass for combined refining.
The other method is to use the Star Tears, Thunder Dragon Horn, and Soaring Cloud Seal to create talismans, and use the talismans to connect the magic array to cover the damaged parts of the dragon's body. When the magic array is activated, the talismans will gradually melt and become one.
The reason why Ning Zhuo hesitated was the cost.
The dragon scale iron itself is suitable for the Wanliyoulong, but it is only a Jindan-level material. The dragon soul grass has reached the Yuanying level, but its quantity is scarce.
So, the cost is lower.
Although there is only half a drop of Spotted Star Tears, it is a treasure of the Divine Transformation Level! Thunder Dragon Horn and Soaring Cloud are both at the Nascent Soul Level.
If the second method is used, the Spotted Star Tears and Thunder Dragon Horn will be completely used up, and only three or four taels of Soaring Cloud will be left.
The cost of the second repair option was very high, more than a hundred times that of the first.
"The first option is sufficient, but the second option is too extravagant. It costs a hundred times more, but the extra defense is only twice as much."
"However, war is dangerous. If there is a war in the Thousand Peaks Forest in the future, and irreparable losses are caused by this doubled defensive power, we will regret it."
According to the cautious nature of Ning clumsy, people would usually choose the second one.
But the reality is more complicated.
Because after he adopted the first plan, the saved precious materials can be used in other aspects to increase other powers. It does not have to be used on Wanli Youlong, it can also improve Ning Zhuo's combat power.
Ning Zhuo was hesitant and did not act arbitrarily, so he told Sun Lingtong about the situation.
Sun Lingtong shrugged and expressed his opinion: "Xiaozhu, we have just started to repair Wanli Youlong, and there are still many steps to follow. Wanli Youlong is good at escaping and hiding, and adding defenses will not be very effective."
Ning Zhuo nodded: "Then let's choose the first option..."
Before he finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed.
He lowered his eyes to look at the mechanical ring on his finger.
The ring is tightening, suggesting that he is about to face a crisis.
"What could it be?"
"Are you reminding me that choosing the first option is dangerous and I should choose the second option?"
Ning Zhuo's mind flashed like lightning and he immediately made a decision to use the second option, even though it cost a huge amount.
After three incense sticks.
On the top of the mountain near Canglin Immortal City, an old demon cultivator was setting up an altar to perform a ritual! The chanting of the Great Mantra of Breaking Qi and Returning Life had reached the first stage.
"It's better to be clumsy than to be clumsy. The little thief has evil intentions."
"Fate and destiny, dark as a shadow hiding in a secluded building."
"You are strong, but I am stronger. If we are just a little bit stronger, then it will be the sky!"
The old demon cultivator was standing on a high platform, holding a magic sword in one hand, shaking a bell in the other, and dancing.
A small spell to break the qi! The old demon cultivator suddenly stopped, his eyes widened, and he opened his mouth and yelled: "Break!"
And at the moment he made his move, Ning Zhuo's luck suddenly increased by two points, suppressing the old demon cultivator.
puff.
The old demon cultivator vomited blood, and the spell failed in an instant, and he was heartbroken! (End of this chapter)
