Ambush and Counter-Kill

Chapter 16: Robbed and Counter-Killed

After resting for half a day and enjoying a delicious snake meat feast, the group cautiously began searching along the canyon. In less than half a day, they found the Sect Token indicated in the mission, but the demonic beast mentioned in the mission prompt was nowhere to be seen. It was clear that the giant snake had been the mission guardian. It was just strange, why would the demonic beast leave the mission point? And run seven or eight miles away?

After confirming the mission was complete, the three began to ponder. Could something have attracted the giant snake there? All demonic beasts had a much stronger sense for Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects than humans. With this speculation, and since it wouldn't take much time, they went to the original battle location to search.

In just over half an hour, Lei Dong luckily discovered a Lingzhi in a damp zone deep within a gully. Because Lei Dong often read various miscellaneous records, he carefully identified it and confirmed that this Lingzhi was nearly a Hundred Year Fire. Of course, the so-called Hundred Year Fire didn't mean the Lingzhi had grown for a hundred years. It was just a classification for the "fire" of some spiritual herbs and objects. If the spiritual energy was abundant, it would grow faster, perhaps reaching this level of fire in a few decades. In less favorable conditions, it might not reach it even in two hundred years.

But regardless, this Lingzhi had not yet reached the Hundred Year Fire. Perhaps the giant snake had abandoned its post and come here precisely to guard this immature Lingzhi. This was because spiritual objects that reached a certain stage of "fire" were far more effective than those that had not. For example, this Lingzhi might be just a hair's breadth away from maturity, but this small difference could result in a tenfold, or even a hundredfold, price difference. 69🅂🄷🅄🅇.🄲🄾🄼

As a result, after their initial elation, the three became somewhat hesitant. If they picked it now, they might each get a few spirit stones. But what if the Lingzhi matured in a few days? Encountering a Lingzhi of this caliber in such a wilderness was indeed their luck. But luck, it wasn't something that came repeatedly. Who knew how long they would have to wait to get rich again if they missed this opportunity?

"Let's pick it," Wei Hua suggested with a pang of regret. "Who knows how many years it will take to mature? We can't stay here guarding it all day, and someone else might find and pick it. Let's be short-sighted this time and Secure the Gain."

"Fine, let's pick it then," Chen Ge also said through gritted teeth. Why couldn't this Lingzhi have been mature when they found it? It was tormenting them like this.

"Wait," Lei Dong stopped them. "I think I read somewhere that if you find immature wild spiritual herbs in the wild, you can transplant them back to cultivate. Although it's possible they might be damaged during transplantation, it's better than Kill the Chicken to Get the Eggs. Perhaps after a few days, or at most a year or two, it will be worth hundreds of spirit stones."

"Transplant?" Chen Ge and Wei Hua clearly didn't have Lei Dong's leisure to read those miscellaneous books. They were both surprised and confused. Hundreds of spirit stones, divided among the three, meant dozens each, which was very tempting.

Fortunately, the two, although steady in temperament, were also quite prone to gambling. A tenfold difference in profit immediately made them agree with Lei Dong. Lei Dong, having benefited from them earlier, decided to go back first to consult information and prepare transplanting tools. Meanwhile, the other two would hide nearby to guard the Lingzhi.

Over three hundred miles, it was quite arduous without a carriage.

Even though Lei Dong had undergone Marrow Cleansing and Hair Washing and was quite fast, this round trip took several days.

When the somewhat anxious two saw Lei Dong, they were excited. Guarding in the wilderness for a few days was quite depressing. However, Lei Dong didn't dare let them handle the digging. After all, he had read some information. These two understood practically nothing. He had them keep watch while he jumped into the gully, took out the jade box and jade shovel he had exchanged for a spirit stone, and carefully transplanted the Lingzhi.

This thing, when cultivated for a while, would be a treasure worth a hundred spirit stones, equivalent to dozens of Level Two Qi Refining demonic beasts. Therefore, Lei Dong dared not be careless. It took him nearly half an hour to get the Lingzhi into the jade box completely intact. The jade box's main function was to prevent the Lingzhi's spirituality from dissipating. However, it still needed to be transplanted into a suitable environment as soon as possible.

Just as Lei Dong breathed a sigh of relief and was about to climb up, he heard a commotion from above the gully, especially Wei Hua's loud voice, sounding extremely angry as he shouted, "We just arrived here, we didn't see any Level Two demonic beasts or Sect Tokens. You're one Level Two Qi Refining and two Level One Qi Refining, don't think we're easy to bully."

Lei Dong quickly stopped his actions. Wei Hua's words were clearly meant for him. Without a sound, Lei Dong summoned his trusted subordinate, the Ghost Soldier, and slowly climbed up the gully. He peeked and saw three men and women wearing the Third Generation Disciple uniforms of the Yin Sha Sect confronting the other two.

Of course, these three were clearly not from the Myriad Ghost Cave. Otherwise, even if they weren't familiar, they would at least recognize each other. As expected, the leader, a Level Two Qi Refining cultivator, said with a cold and arrogant expression, "It looks like you're from the Myriad Ghost Cave? I, the Extreme Yin Cave, am bullying you, so what? Hand it over if you know what's good for you, otherwise, breaking your limbs before searching will hurt our harmony." As he spoke, he raised a fiery red flying sword in his hand. Judging by the sword's agility and aura, its quality was clearly far superior to the standard Ink Green Small Swords of Lei Dong and the other two.

So they were from the Extreme Yin Cave. Although they were all disciples of the Yin Sha Sect, they were divided by their respective sects and mountain peaks. Naturally, there would be discord and competition between them. It was said that the Extreme Yin Ancestor of the Myriad Ghost Cave had always been at odds with their Myriad Ghost Ancestor. Thinking of this, Lei Dong couldn't help but have some ideas. He controlled the Ghost Soldier to circle around them from a distance, taking a large detour, and then slowly approached the arrogant Level Two cultivator with extreme caution.

The three of them couldn't see it, but Lei Dong intentionally let Chen Ge and Wei Hua see the Ghost Soldier. Although these two were not old, due to their Deep Family Tradition, they were both Old and Cunning. They began to put on a show of feigned fear and ferocity, shouting, "What do you want? Don't mess around. We're all Brothers from the same sect. If you dare to mess around, we'll report you to the Myriad Ghost Ancestor when we get back, and you'll regret it. a.m."

"Hahaha," the young man at Level Two Qi Refining saw Chen Ge and the other two acting timid and guessed they were scared. He laughed heartily and then grinned menacingly, "The Cultivation World is a world where the strong prey on the weak. If you're incapable, don't blame others for bullying you. Reporting? That's hilarious. Don't say you're not core disciples of the Myriad Ghost Cave, even if you were, the Myriad Ghost Ancestor couldn't help you."

"You're talking nonsense! Our Ancestor's Divine Skill Covers the World and is Invincible Under Heaven. If you dare to make a move, he will definitely avenge us," Wei Hua also shouted sharply.

Lei Dong was a bit strange. He only wanted these two to attract the opponent's attention, but why were they praising the Myriad Ghost Ancestor so much? However, despite his confusion, he still drove the Ghost Soldier, drifting and swaying, to stealthily approach the arrogant guy's back.

"Forget it, your Myriad Ghost Cave has always been below our Extreme Yin Cave. I'm a core disciple of Extreme Yin Cave, killing a few ants like you is nothing. That old geezer from Myriad Ghost wouldn't dare to argue with my ancestor over a few ordinary disciples like you. Even if he did, we wouldn't be afraid. My Extreme Yin Ancestor isn't afraid of your Wan Gui." The fellow became more and more smug, muttering incantations and grinning ferociously, "It seems you're Stubbornly Persistent. Then let me let you taste the might of my Fire Cloud Sword."

As soon as he finished speaking, before he could even wield his flying sword, his expression suddenly froze. He felt a chill down his spine. Turning his head in confusion, he heard a light tearing sound. He saw a ghost soldier, bright red and Clearly Armored, baring its fangs and grinning ferociously at him. At the same time, the ghost soldier's Sharp Blade swept towards his neck.

Blood rained down.
