Chapter 1068: Fighting against the evil cultivator, equally matched
Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting quickened their pace and arrived at the foot of XX Mountain. It was already dark, the moonlight was sparse, and the woods were still filled with erratic black mist, which was very gloomy.
The friction between leaves and the occasional croaking of birds were extremely eerie.
Gu Ning did not go in immediately, but opened his jade pupils and looked around to see if he could see the voice or shadow of the evil cultivator.
Although the evil cultivator's voice or shadow was not seen, Gu Ning saw a place in the valley that was filled with thick black air. That black air was undoubtedly yin energy.
The valley was quite far away, and Gu Ning's jade pupils had a limited range of vision, so he couldn't see anything more clearly. However, the yin energy there was thick, so the evil cultivator was most likely there.
Whether he is there or not, you will know when you go there.
Leng Shaoting didn't say a word the whole time. He just followed Gu Ning quietly and did whatever Gu Ning asked him to do.
Then, Gu Ning walked towards the valley.
XX Mountain was indeed as steep as the evil cultivator said. It would be very difficult for ordinary people to pass through it, and some places might be even more difficult to walk. But for Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting, it was just a little bit difficult to walk on an ordinary road, and it didn't cause any difficulty.
Leng Shaoting knew Gu Ning's abilities, but he still couldn't help but keep staring at her, fearing that something might happen to her.
Gu Ning kept looking at the jade pupil all the way, observing the surroundings as he walked.
Since it is said that there is a treasure here, whether it exists or not, since it has been rumored and Gu Ning is here, we have to take a look. If there is no treasure, it doesn’t matter, but if there is, that would be even better.
The deeper we walked into the woods, the colder the air became, and even the wind blowing across our bodies made us feel a little chilly.
Gu Ning took out the Night Pearl, and then took out a small cloth bag, tied it up with a string, and gave it to Leng Shaoting: "Wear this around your neck, so you won't be attacked by the cold."
Although with Leng Shaoting's physique, this little bit of cold air will not have an effect on him, but when he is in a place with strong yin energy, it will have an effect. After all, Leng Shaoting's body of flesh and blood has no spiritual energy to protect him.
"What about you?" Leng Shaoting frowned and looked at Gu Ning, but did not take it. Gu Ning was thinking about him, so why shouldn't he be thinking about Gu Ning too!
"My physique is different from that of ordinary people. This cold air can't affect me." Gu Ning said.
Seeing that Gu Ning didn't seem to be lying, Leng Shaoting took the night pearl, put it around his neck, and put it inside his clothes.
And after going through so many things, Leng Shaoting also knew that Gu Ning was different from ordinary people, but since she didn't say it, he didn't ask more questions. Because if Gu Ning didn't say it, it meant she couldn't say it. If she could say it, she would say it herself.
There are very few people as reasonable as Leng Shaoting. If it were someone else, once they had doubts, they would dig deep into your mind.
Leng Shaoting had held the Night Pearl before, so he knew that the Night Pearl was very magical. He felt a little cold just now, of course, it was just a feeling, and he was not affected for the time being. However, after holding the Night Pearl, he could no longer feel the coldness.
When they got closer to the valley, Gu Ning released the spiritual energy in his body. It was because it was more reliable to release the spiritual energy and use it to attract the evil cultivator than to find the location of the evil cultivator by himself.
Not long after, a whistling sound reached the ears of Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting. It was not the wind, because the sound also carried a breath of danger.
Gu Ning looked in the direction where the whistling sound came from, and saw a black shadow rushing towards him quickly, as fast as the wind. Gu Ning only saw it for a few seconds, and the black shadow was already ten meters away from Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting.
The black shadow stopped ten meters away from Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting. Instead of moving forward, it watched them in the dark.
The black shadow, that is, the other evil cultivator mentioned earlier, cast his gaze on Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting, and his ferocious expression revealed greed.
There is actually spiritual energy in them, which is the best medicine for his cultivation!
Now, his skills will be greatly improved.
The evil cultivator was feeling very happy, but he didn't know that danger was right in front of him.
Because people come to this XX mountain from time to time to look for treasures, the evil cultivator thought that these two people were here to look for treasures, and did not think about other aspects. Therefore, the evil cultivator did not know that Gu Ning had already seen him, and Leng Shaoting had also sensed his presence.
Gu Ning didn't play any tricks. The pistol in his hand appeared out of thin air, and he aimed and fired at the evil cultivator.
The action was done in one go, fast, fierce and accurate, leaving the evil cultivator no chance to react. He was shot in the shoulder and let out a muffled groan in pain.
Although evil cultivators are cultivators, they will still get hurt and feel pain before they achieve enlightenment. It’s just that their ability to endure it is much stronger than that of ordinary people.
After being shot, the evil cultivator realized that the other party had already seen him. He was extremely shocked, but more angry.
He hadn't eaten them yet, but he was attacked by them first. How could he swallow this? So he immediately attacked Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting, shouting in a hoarse voice: "Damn it, you dared to hurt me..."
Leng Shaoting was also startled by Gu Ning's sudden action, which was really unexpected.
The evil cultivator was caught off guard and fell into Gu Ning's trap, otherwise he would not have been hit so hard by Gu Ning so easily.
When the evil cultivator attacked, Gu Ning stuffed a bronze dagger into Leng Shaoting's hand. Given the evil cultivator's speed, using a gun was no longer practical, and a dagger was the best weapon for close combat.
Gu Ning also got himself a bronze dagger, held it in his hand, and immediately started fighting with the evil cultivator.
Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting joined forces, but could only manage a draw with the evil cultivator, because there were many factors that were unfavorable to Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting.
Because the terrain here is not good, although Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting are agile, they are still mortals and cannot be as light as a swallow and climb walls like the evil cultivators.
Also, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting can only rely on skills and brute force, while the evil cultivators have mysterious power, which is several times stronger than theirs.
Xuanli, similar to internal force and spiritual power, is a kind of qigong that possesses powerful energy.
The higher the level of cultivation, the stronger the mysterious power.
In addition, the cultivation level of this evil cultivator is slightly higher than the previous one, so it is not easy for Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting to deal with him in a short time.
However, even though they could not do anything to the evil cultivators for the time being, the evil cultivators could not do anything to them either.
In fact, Gu Ning could have released the dragon directly, so that he could have caught the evil cultivator in minutes, but Gu Ning did not want to expose the dragon unless he had no other choice.
Besides, both Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting needed practical combat experience, so Gu Ning didn't want to release the dragon until his safety was not threatened.
