Spirit Gu Planted, Fierce Battle with the Crimson Zheng

The moment the two rushed out, Qin Fei's gaze immediately locked onto them.

He frowned slightly. He had previously used his Divine Sense and the Illusion-Breaking Spirit Eye to search for the two people, but had not found them at all.

However, he was keeping his actions secret and could not allow others to discover his secrets.

Without saying a word, he launched an attack on Jumang.

A flash of cold light, A Luodan companion had no choice but to stop and desperately dodge.

"Fellow Daoist, have you gone mad? The rat swarm is coming soon! If you don't want to live, don't drag us down with you!"

Qin Fei didn't answer. Suddenly, a silver mirror appeared in his hand, and several beams of white light shot out from it as it flashed.

With such speed, A Luodan barely dodged two attacks before being struck by the next one and sent flying to the ground.

Fortunately, the silver mirror itself was not very powerful, and he was not fatally injured.

But the swarm of rats had already arrived and surrounded him in an instant.

Despite being severely wounded, Gutulu showed no intention of helping A Luodan when he saw him in distress, and instead soared into the sky.

Before they had flown very far, the sky suddenly darkened.

Countless vines shot up from the ground, instantly covering the entire sky, then took root from above and frantically coiled around him.

Gutulu was already at his limit, and was knocked to the ground in a few blows, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

However, being Foundation Establishment cultivators, he and A Luodan, though trapped, still possessed Divine Ability, preventing the rat swarm from getting close for the time being.

Qin Fei looked down at the two struggling figures with a hint of satisfaction.

He was pondering how to lure out the Rat King when these two Barbarian Tribe Foundation Establishment delivered themselves to his doorstep.

With two people keeping the rats occupied, the rat king will soon become restless.

Sure enough, after a large number of Wind-Howling Rat died, a chilling scream suddenly came from underground.

Upon hearing the sound, the rats seemed to receive a command; the bristles on their backs stood on end, their eyes turned bloodthirsty, and their attacks became ferocious and fearless.

At the same time, countless winged Wind-Howling Rat sprang out from the ground, some rushing towards A Luodan, while others targeted Qin Fei and Jumang.

The adult form of the Wind-Howling Rat has two fully developed pairs of iron wings, moving as swiftly as the wind.

Qin Fei remained motionless throughout, his vertical eye between his brows activated as he searched for the Rat King's whereabouts.

As the Wind-Howling Rat darted in front of him, Jumang suddenly pressed down with one hand, and the vines in the air shot out like a barrage of arrows.

"Pfft, pfft----"

Hundreds and thousands of Wind-Howling Rat were pierced through, their corpses falling to the ground to become food for their kind.

In this mountain forest, everything around him is a weapon of Jumang, allowing its power to be maximized, which is also Qin Fei's most important reliance.

The two barbarians were about to collapse when A Luodan roared, "You despicable human, you will die a horrible death!"

Immediately following a loud bang, a massive surge of energy erupted, instantly clearing a radius of one mile into a vacuum.

This person actually detonated his Dantian.

The day they orchestrated the beast tide attack on Shangyu Market, causing heavy losses to the human race, they too perished in the beast tide. Truly, cause and effect are cyclical.

This attack thoroughly enraged the rat swarm.

Countless jet-black Wind-Howling Rat, surrounding a giant pink female rat, emerged from the ground.

The mother mouse had a shifty look on her face, and her two little eyes were constantly moving, suggesting that she already possessed a certain level of intelligence.

It let out a shriek, abandoned the already exhausted Gutulu, and instead commanded the rat swarm to launch a massive attack on Qin Fei and his companion.

Qin Fei's lips curled up. As a Puppet Master, what he feared least was group battles.

With a wave of his hand, hundreds of puppets appeared out of thin air. All the puppets raised their palms, revealing the dark cannon barrels in their palms.

"Fire!"

At a command, the cannons spewed out countless beams of light like fire serpents, suppressing the horde of rats.

Qin Fei moved swiftly, first capturing the barely alive Gutulu, and then rushing towards the direction of the Rat King.

The silver mirror hangs above his head, and whenever Wind-Howling Rat approaches, a shot will be fired, blasting it away on the spot.

The swarm of thousands of rats couldn't even get close.

In the blink of an eye, Qin Fei arrived in front of the Rat King.

The Rat King looked terrified, only to see the human cultivator merely tap his forehead lightly before swiftly retreating.

It sensed itself but found nothing unusual.

Although it had developed intelligence, it was only in the initial stage, and its bloodthirsty nature quickly made it forget what had just happened.

Under its command, countless Wind-Howling Rat charged forward as if their lives depended on it, determined to capture the two humans who had invaded their territory.

However, Qin Fei changed his previous fighting style, put away the puppet, dispersed the vines that filled the sky, and disappeared into the horizon as a stream of light.

With his Foundation Establishment Realm stage speed, he quickly left the rat swarm behind.

Unfortunately, many of the other Demon Beast along the way failed to escape in time and became food for the Wind-Howling Rat.

Three days later, Qin Fei landed in a valley, having completely shaken off the swarm of rats.

Having experienced this battle, he fully appreciated Jumang's power.

Especially in dense forests and valleys where vegetation is abundant, this puppet's combat power increases dramatically.

According to his estimation, even some top-tier Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivators probably wouldn't have much higher combat strength.

The greatest achievement of this trip was successfully planting the Blood Amber Spirit Gu inside the Rat King.

Once the Rat King begins to reproduce, the Spirit Gu will also begin to multiply and enter the bodies of the next generation of Wind-Howling Rat.

As time goes by, the entire rat swarm will become a breeding ground for the Blood Amber Spirit Gu.

Qin Fei, in turn, is able to continuously receive support in return.

The goal has been achieved, and I finally have the foundation to cultivate the Nine Revolutions Golden Core Technique.

If this had happened before, he really wouldn't have had much confidence.

Next, we'll see how the Iron Guard progress and whether they can find Lu Tianchou.

After pondering for a moment, Qin Fei waved his hand, and a dying man appeared before him.

It was Gutulu, whom he had captured from the swarm of rats.

"I'm asking you, how did you end up here?"

The territory of the Wind-Howling Rat is located in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, west of Repel the North City, which is the territory of the human race.

He certainly wouldn't believe it was just a coincidence that two Barbarian Tribe Foundation Establishment appeared here.

"Bah, you despicable human, I—"

Just as Gutulu was about to unleash a torrent of curses, a gigantic hand slammed down on his head.

Qin Fei lazy to waste words, directly activated the Soul-Searching Technique.

Those in the Foundation Establishment Realm can already use this technique; as long as their Divine Sense far surpasses that of their opponent, there is no risk of backlash.

Although they were in the same realm, Qin Fei had absolute confidence in his Divine Sense.

Gutulu's face twisted in shock; he hadn't expected this human cultivator to be so decisive.

Before long, his expression became blank, his eyes lifeless, like a walking corpse.

Qin Fei frowned slightly. While searching the other party's memories, he discovered a secret.

These two Barbarian Tribe men were actually the instigators of the beast tide in Shangyu Market.

The reason they appeared in the Wind-Howling Rat's territory was because the two of them stole the cub of the King Beast Crimson Zheng, and are now being chased by a Crimson Zheng in the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.

As for the cub, it was being sent to the Barbarian Tribe.

Qin Fei's heart burned with excitement. If he could obtain this cub and raise it properly, it would surely be a great help in the future.

But after thinking about it carefully, he shook his head slightly.

Although the Crimson Zheng cubs were strong, they were simply too conspicuous.

After all, this is one of the king beasts, the ruler of the Demon Race on land.

If it were discovered that the cubs were in his possession, the entire Demon Race would likely not let him go.

"Forget it. I've just Foundation Establishment and have the Nine Revolutions Golden Core Technique at my disposal. Core Formation isn't impossible either. I really shouldn't get involved in this kind of thing."

This matter was beyond his capabilities, and after thinking for a long time, Qin Fei decisively gave up.

He used Soul-Seizing Technique to extract the remaining soul of Gutulu, reserving it for later use in imbuing other puppets with spirit.

As for the corpse, it was burned completely.

Just as he was about to leave, a whooshing sound came from the horizon.

Immediately afterward, a strange-looking beast landed not far in front of them.

The strange beast had sharp horns on its head and five thick tails behind it.

Its entire body was crimson red, and it roared incessantly at him.

The roar was extremely strange, like the sound of striking Shitou.

Qin Fei a chill run down his spine and became secretly cautious.

He recognized the strange beast before him from Gutulu's memories; it was the same king beast that had been chasing them, the Crimson Zheng.

This beast possesses the strength of the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, and if he could, he would not wish to fight it.

"Fellow Daoist, is there some misunderstanding? Your cub has already been sent to the Barbarian Tribe by those two. It might not be too late to chase after it now."

Crimson Zheng, however, paid no attention and simply stared coldly at him.

Qin Fei frowned slightly. Could it be that this beast doesn't understand human speech?

That's possible.

The Demon Beast race possesses naturally powerful physical bodies, and a large portion of them also possess racial talents and bloodline power.

But with every gain comes a loss; the more powerful the Demon Beast, the more difficult it is to awaken its intelligence.

To speak human language, one needs to refine the transverse bone in the throat in order to communicate normally.

The Crimson Zheng before us may not have accomplished this yet.

Qin Fei did not give up trying and once again expressed his goodwill to the other party through Divine Sense.

However, Crimson Zheng didn't seem to understand. He snorted a scorching breath from his nostrils and spat out a ball of crimson flame.

The flames swelled with the wind, turning into a raging inferno in the blink of an eye, as if they would burn the entire valley to ashes.

"If you refuse a toast, you'll have to drink a forfeit."

Qin Fei's gaze turned slightly cold. Although his opponent was a realm higher than him, he was not necessarily afraid.

A small, crimson shield flew out from his waist and charged straight at the flames.

Taking advantage of this moment, Qin Fei circled around to the left, his hand Method Formula rapidly changing, and an ice phoenix over ten feet in size flew out from behind him.

Advanced Technique Method: Ice Phoenix Technique.

After ten years of dedicated practice, Technique Method are no longer a weak point for Qin Fei.

On the contrary, his Technique Method, in terms of both power and the skill in controlling them, are far superior to those of other cultivators at the same level.

The ice phoenix in the sky sent chills down one's spine with just a glance.

Jumang also circled to the right, his arm transforming into many branches that grew wildly, eventually forming a wooden dragon that attacked Crimson Zheng.

The Crimson Zheng, the Ice Phoenix, and the Wooden Dragon—three enormous creatures—entered a fierce battle in an instant.

Trees were broken, and mountain peaks collapsed.

Three days passed, and the game remained undecided.

Just then, a whooshing sound came from the air.

"It's a misunderstanding! Fellow Daoists, please stop!"

The figure on the horizon approached rapidly, and it turned out to be another Crimson Zheng.
