Chapter 48: Solitary Walk

s restrictions.” The pottery figurine chuckled dryly, looking at Lu Xiaitian with eyes that flickered uncertainly. Lu Xiaitian's speed just now was astonishing, even snatching something from his hand....At this time, there were only a few talismans left on his body. In terms of magical combat, he was no more advantageous than other wandering cultivators, and compared to those cultivators who had been practicing for ten or twenty years, Lu Xiaoteng was still inferior in the mastery and application of spells. 。The < > *Shun Yuan Formation* is only a defensive formation. It can only lure the enemy into the formation, and its limitations are quite significant. < > 。 。Lu Xiaoteng thought about it for a while, and temporarily decided to refine the shadow ants of the big monster. In this perilous Moon Viewing Mountain Range, he could have more self-preservation. 。Lu Xia Tian sensed a movement. A giant ant with wings, shaped like a large green ball, flew out of the gourd. 。Upon suddenly smelling the scent of life from Lu Xiaoteng, he immediately rushed towards him. 。"Overreaching" 。Lu Xia Tian stretched out his hand and shot out a gust of wind blade. 。With a thud, the shadow ant slammed into the tree hole wall and fell. 。But Lu Xiaoteng's hand wasn't heavy enough. The shadow ant instantly flew back up and swooped towards Lu Xiaoteng, this stranger, intending to bite him viciously several times. 。But Li Xia Tian wouldn't allow this little bug to get its way. 。

A crackling sound

The shadow ants were cut down by the wind blades again and again, realizing that they couldn't defeat the enemy in front of them. They turned and flew towards the outside of the tree hole. 。It's not that easy to escape, Lu Xia Tian cocked his mouth, curled his fingers slightly, a vortex formed in his palm, and a powerful suction force pulled the ant back. 。Such repetition tormented the head ant until it couldn't even muster the strength to move. Only then did the head ant show submission, but Lu Xia Tian could still feel the unwillingness within that submission. 。After all, having been raised by a large sum of monsters for a period of time, to command them freely, one still needs to repeatedly sacrifice. 。The monstrous beings used their own blood essence, and now with their death, the spiritual imprints on these shadow ants are gradually weakening. They will completely disappear soon. 。Lu Xia Tian wouldn't use his own blood to nourish these shadow ants, but as a compromise, he would take some monster beast blood and add it with Beast Spirit Pills, which would be enough. 。

By the time all the remaining ants in the black gourd were refined, it was already two hours later.

After several rounds of intense battles and two more hours of hard work in the tree hole, Lu Xia Tian was completely exhausted. 。 。Two days later, in a desolate mountain range, under towering trees... 。A demon rabbit was covered in green, tiny flying ants. It writhed in pain on the ground but soon lost its strength and was cut open by the young man in blue robes and swords, allowing the green ants to feast. 。Five days later, a blood-sucking demon cat was devoured by dozens of small green ants led by several head ants. 。Ten days later, by an unknown small stream, the water was clear, but a faint metallic scent lingered in it. 。If you look carefully, you will surely find a pile of demon crocodile bones in the grass by the stream, with some flesh still remaining on them. 。"Arrogant fools!" Lu Xiaoteng let out a snort, reaching out to draw several ant heads into his hand. A ball of flames appeared in his palm, the essence of his Yuan Qi - the Yan Yang fire, capable of melting gold and forging stone. 。

Torched by the flames of the primordial sun, several head ants panicked and flew away.

In an instant, Zhuan Shun lowered his head in submission before Lu Xiaotian, no longer daring to act arrogantly. 。

Lu Xia Tian has been spending most of his energy these days refining the Shadow Ants. After more than ten days of effort, he continuously removed the spiritual imprints left by the large monsters and fed them some monster meat.

Temporarily, it's considered that the control of several head shadows is complete. 。"It's just that Lu Xiaoteng discovered that after these shadow ants fed on the essence blood of blood-sucking monsters, their tempers would also become more ferocious. The situation that just happened was the backlash caused by these head ants being full of the essence blood of the monster crocodile." 。However, Lu Xia Tian would never let these spirit worms have their way. 。"Hm" Just as he was about to teach those worker ants a lesson, Lu Xia Tian suddenly heard a strange noise, someone had arrived. 。Lu Xia Tian's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly hid his figure in the grass. 。These days, while he's been refining the Shadow Ants, he's been carefully avoiding other cultivator squads. 。After all, he is alone now. He would be easily surrounded and killed by other teams if he encountered them. Once trapped, there's little chance of escape. 。Now he mostly chooses paths where there are fewer cultivator activities. Once he finds scattered spirit stones, storage pouches, or the corpses of other cultivators along the way... 。 。Such situations are mostly set up by other groups of cultivators, naturally with the intention of ambushing. 。

Some experienced adventurers are not easily fooled.

But many new cultivators just out of the Moon-Watching City have little money, or some arrogant cultivators don't believe in evil and want to try it. 。These people often meet a tragic end. 。Even though he was careful, Lu Xia Tian almost got surrounded by several wandering cultivators. 。That was four days ago, he saw a plant of Biyucao, which is the main ingredient used to refine Yuanqidans. 。I checked my surroundings several times, but I couldn't find any other wandering cultivators. 。Then Lu Xia Tian bravely collected the Biyu grass. 。Unbeknownst to him, as he was gathering herbs, a black crow flew up from the grass bushes ten or so zhang away, flapping its wings. 。He was only suspicious at first, after all it was just an ordinary black crow, not even a spirit beast. 。Among the towering mountains and steep cliffs, there are many of these birds. 。But what surprised him soon appeared. 。After the crow took flight, it cawed several times. Four or five gray figures simultaneously surrounded them from several miles away. 。Lu Xiaotian was annoyed. Someone had actually trained this ordinary bird as a mount. Back when he was at the Le Dao Sect, there were also dedicated pigeon trainers. 。There are also some amazing creatures that can be trained to fly. 。But this is just the way of ordinary people, among wandering cultivators, he had almost never heard of anyone who would spend their energy on this. 。If it were a spirit bird or demon beast, Lu Xia Tian would have most likely sensed it during his recent search. 。A common crow can be found anywhere in the mountains and fields, he wasn't even thinking about that. 。

Little did they know, it was this very oversight that led to their downfall.

For the sake of wealth and power, these people are truly unscrupulous. Cultivators even tame ordinary black crows as their eyes and ears. 。< Change people, the same will be dressed > 。

Lu Xia Tian, furious, directly threw a small fireball, burning the black duck to ashes.

Then he fled for his life. 。There were people from the opposing side in several directions, but he was lucky and encountered a black-faced cultivator at the third level of Qi refining. Lu Xia Tian directly unleashed several spells, then sacrificed his ant swarm, looking like he was going all out to fight. 。That black-faced cultivator, seeing that the other's cultivation was far below his, was terrified and immediately turned to flee. 。When paths cross in a narrow way, fearing and hesitating will only lead to a faster death. 。The Black-Faced Cultivator was cut in half by his wind blade. 。Lu Xia Tian casually took the storage pouch from the black-faced cultivator. Inside, there were only a few pieces of low-grade spirit stones and some worthless spiritual herbs. 。Other cultivators who had been encircled were furious, but seeing Lu Xiaoteng flee far away, they were helpless and could only grit their teeth and swallow this dumb loss. 。After this experience, Lu Xia Tian was even more cautious and vigilant. His alertness had increased by leaps and bounds compared to before. From a distance away, he could hear the slightest rustle of wind in the grass. 。
