Chapter 976: Working Together and Guarding Against
word strike!" Until the sword embryo left behind by Venerable Piaomiao disappeared from before his eyes, Lu Xia Tian's mind was still filled with the trajectory of that last sword strike.By the time h..."Brother Lu, this is serious. With Brother Lu's strength, how dare I, Ben Niu, trifle with you Beforehand, I didn't say anything because I was worried that Brother Lu wouldn't agree to enter this stone cave. So I used a little trick. Although I was being sarcastic, I wouldn't be foolish enough to take such a huge risk for a meal of human flesh. With your astute mind, Brother Lu, you must have already guessed it. You still came in with me, which means you must have something else in mind."

As for Lu Xiaitian's displeasure, the Eight-Legged Demon Bull Beast didn't have the slightest worry. In this Lingyun Cave, the Eight-Legged Demon Bull Beast was confident that even if Lu Xiaitian's companions came, they would be powerless to help him.
Of course, the eight-legged demon bull beast hadn't completely been honest with Lu Xiaottian. On one hand, it was indeed a craving for human flesh. On the other hand, it was cultivating its "Niu Mo Tian Shi Gong," an extremely unique and domineering martial art. It had to kill its opponent and immediately consume their flesh. Once time passed, the blood and flesh would lose its essence.
And the eight-legged demon ox beast cultivates this《Ox Demon Heavenly Corpse Scripture》which requires absorbing a large amount of flesh and blood. Humans are just one kind of it. It's just that there are very few human beings coming and going in this place, especially high-level cultivators. In the past, the node connecting this space with the outside world was not stable enough, and it was rare to see anyone even after dozens or even hundreds of years. Now that they suddenly encounter a few people, the eight-legged demon ox beast naturally wouldn't give up easily.

... Even if it is merely for the sake of the flesh and blood of this few-yuan infant cultivator, the eight-legged demonic bull beast would also try to team up with Lu Xia Tian.
Of course, he had also tried to find Yi Yihang before, but was quickly attacked by the latter. Lu Xia Tian had a grudge against the Xiangguo royal family, and he was also very interested in the martial arts passed down through the Xiangguo royal family. Therefore, it was a perfect match.

"First, let's find a way to kill those few people. Don't think that only you can come and go here. Since I can get in, I can naturally get out. As for the thing you want to get, tell me clearly. I need to weigh it carefully. Don't have too high expectations. Of course, if there is something tempting enough, I might be willing to help you."

Lu Xiaocen wouldn't be led around by this demonic ox. The two had only temporarily joined forces out of self-interest. Although he desired the cultivation techniques of several people and it would be even better if they could capture a Yuan Ying to serve as a reserve for the Blood Altar's demonic formation, these were not essential items. It was uncertain whether Xi Yi'an and the others possessed what he needed, after all, cultivation techniques weren't universally applicable.
Compared to Chi Yun Sang's 《Chi Yan Tuo Ta Mo Gong》, which is of a high level and includes methods for the Nascent Soul stage, it was not suitable for Lu Xia Tian. Sometimes, the higher the level of a technique isn't necessarily better; it also depends on whether it's suitable and if one can cultivate it. The same techniques and martial arts, when used by different people, can have vastly different power and effects.
Since it wasn't something he necessarily needed, the Eight-Legged Demon Bull beast wanting to threaten him was naturally unrealistic.
"Alright, then let's kill those few men from the State of Xiang first." The Eight-Legged Demon Bull Beast didn't hesitate much. Although it had some doubts about Lu Xiaotian's words about going out, it naturally didn't dare to gamble.
After consuming the flesh and blood of these races, my own strength is estimated to increase a lot. I will also take this opportunity to see how much depth this surname Lu actually has. If that's all there is to it, hey hey, even if I swallow him together, it's not impossible.
One person and one demon each had their own thoughts. The eight-legged demon ox beast, having carefully plotted for a long time, took the initiative to take on the task of searching for the enemy's whereabouts. Its nose constantly sniffed around, and Lu Xiaoteng secretly thought that it was far worse than his spirit hound Xiao Bai. However, he was not in a hurry now. Xiao Bai was another trump card of his, and there was no need to reveal him for the time being. He wanted to see if the eight-legged demon ox beast could succeed. He would observe its other means later.
After several days, Lu Xia Tian found a small stream of clear water. He secretly picked some unfamiliar herbs that he hadn't collected before and put them into the barrier. Whether they were useful or not, he would collect them first. Who knows, they might come in handy someday.
“Got it.” The eight-legged demon ox’s patience wasn't great to begin with. After searching for several days with no progress, it had begun to get impatient. At this moment, it suddenly caught a whiff of human scent. Its sullen face couldn't help but break into a smile.
"No need to smell, I saw it."
Lu XiaTian stood on a rock by the stream, overlooking the scene. He saw a tall woman in a blue dress flying towards him from downstream with a worried expression.
Although Lu Xiaotian had only been in the Lingyun Cave for a few days, he had come close to encountering other tenth-level, and even eleventh-level, monsters several times. Lu Xiaotian wanted to kill a few tenth-level monsters and collect their souls, but with the Eight-legged Demon Bull Beast by his side, it was not easy to act rashly.The dangers within Lingyun Cave were numerous. Occasionally, a gust of demonic wind would sweep in from nowhere, or they would encounter a large flock of unknown demon birds, causing the two to become separated. However, the Eight-legged Demon Bull Beast would always find them again soon after.
The woman in the blue dress before them seemed to have been separated from Xiang Yi Hang and the others.
Lu Xia Tian met the gaze of the eight-legged demonic ox beast. The beast chuckled knowingly and, with a nod towards Lu Xia Tian, moved to a distance. They allowed the woman in blue to walk over.
The tall woman in the blue dress looked worried. After being separated from Xiang Yihang, she hadn't been able to find him. Although she was alone and not in immediate danger, she couldn't find Xiang Yihang, nor could she find the exit of Lingyun Cave.
After turning for two days, she had gained nothing at all. Just as the woman in blue was about to leave, suddenly, a giant ox with eight legs blocked her way. Its two eyes glared menacingly.
The woman in the blue skirt felt a jolt of fear. A tenth-ranked monster, and from its aura, it was no ordinary foe.
At this juncture, when facing such a perilous and unfamiliar environment, preserving strength is paramount. It goes without saying that I am unlikely to be a match for these ten-tiered demon bulls. Even if I were to defeat them, expending too much energy in this place would prove detrimental.
The woman in the blue dress subconsciously took a step back, but before she could react, a sword intent struck her from behind, sealing off her retreat.
"Not good, there's an ambush!" The woman in blue reacted instantly, her heart pounding. A ten-tiered demon was already extremely difficult to deal with, and now there were other human cultivators here. This sword strike was definitely not something an ordinary demon could have made.
Suddenly, a pair of black light wings extended from behind the woman in the blue dress. She spread her wings, forming a shield that barely blocked the sword energy. The tremendous impact caused her to stumble. The eight-legged demon ox beast had already charged forward with its hooves pounding the ground.
Its nostrils flared, billowing white vapor. A giant, crude obsidian mace descended from the sky – a demonic artifact painstakingly forged by the eight-limbed Demon Ox over many years.
