Chapter 373

He now had two second-tier spirit beasts accompanying him, so other demon beasts didn't dare to come and find trouble.

On the contrary, Lin Zhangqing was not comfortable sitting, so every time he encountered demon beasts or something, he would find an excuse to get down and find trouble with them.

Of course, Lin Zhangqing doing this was also to store more demon beast meat for himself; after all, he had quite a few demon beasts under his command, and the consumption of demon beast meat had been increasing.

The location he was in now still belonged to the outer circle of the Qingyun Mountain Range, so he was still quite casual.

However, after another two days of going deeper, he wouldn't dare to do this, so the first day passed without any danger.

Besides getting down to hunt a group of twenty or thirty Swift Wind Wolves, there were also three Red-Armored Gale Lions, two big and one small, which looked like a family.

Others were just single demon beasts; Lin Zhangqing collected the blood of these demon beasts, preparing to hand it over to Zhao Liyu when the time came, as some spirit rice in the inner space needed this blood to grow.

Lin Zhangqing didn't have to travel himself, sitting on Chuyi, his divine sense kept expanding, so he discovered quite a few spirit herbs today, about twenty or so.

Most of these spirit herbs were not mature, but Lin Zhangqing didn't care about that; as long as he encountered them, he would transplant them.

Unless they were spirit herbs that were too ordinary, and there were already quite a few in the inner space, he would let them go.

Therefore, their journey could be considered to have been scraped very clean, almost literally scraping the ground three feet.

He didn't have the idea of leaving it for future generations; anyway, leaving it was just cheapening others.

When the sky was completely dark, he found a suitable place to camp and released the thirty-six second-tier Purple Crystal Scorpions.

Letting them form two defensive circles, as for Chuyi and Chuer, they were taken back into the spirit beast bracelet by him to rest.

Jin Yi and Jin Er were not taken into the spirit beast bracelet; after all, they were second-tier spirit beasts, and placing them outside to deter others could let Lin Zhangqing sleep peacefully.

Early the next morning, he tidied up and didn't dare to delay time, continuing on his way; he had already communicated with Jin Yi, letting them try their best to speed up, striving to arrive at the place in three days.

However, he wanted to be fast, but things happened to find him; in fact, Chuyi had already warned him, but he thought it should be a demon hunting team from some family, so he didn't care much and was preparing to pass through the gap between them.

Unexpectedly, it was like poking a hornet's nest, and three or four five-person groups immediately surrounded his position.

Getting Chuyi's warning again, he felt that something was wrong and immediately took Jin Yi and Jin Er back.

And chose a favorable terrain, released all thirty-six Purple Crystal Scorpions, and formed a relatively large ambush circle.

Subsequently, he put on the Spirit Concealing Mask to avoid being remembered for his true appearance, and then stood still, waiting for others to come to his door.

In just a moment, four teams surrounded Lin Zhangqing; these people were quite disciplined, and it was quiet without anyone opening their mouths to speak.

Obviously, surrounding Lin Zhangqing was waiting for someone, but Lin Zhangqing was not nervous at all.

Those surrounding him were cultivators at the seventh, eighth, and ninth layers of Qi Refining; although the number was not small, twenty people, if there was a need, with a thought, he could kill them all in an instant.

So he was calm and composed, and didn't make a sound, just wanting to see what they were prepared to do.

Soon two sword lights flew toward here, landed outside the encirclement, and revealed the figures of two middle-aged Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Lin Zhangqing scanned with his divine sense and knew the two, one was at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, and one was at the late stage of Foundation Establishment; the strength should be barely passable. At this time, the late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator looked Lin Zhangqing up and down for a while, seeing Lin Zhangqing's calm and composed appearance, which really made him unable to make up his mind.

After thinking for a while, he said, "What is the surname of this fellow Daoist, and why did you appear alone in this place at this time?"

Lin Zhangqing also glanced at him and said expressionlessly, "My surname is Gao; isn't this place the outer circle of the Qingyun Mountain Range? Isn't it that anyone can come?

I came in here to hunt demon beasts and collect herbs, which should be considered a very normal thing! When did it become your home? Coming here has to be surrounded and questioned by you.

What do you mean by surrounding me now? Is it that you want to do business without capital?"

The mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator listened and felt that this cultivator who was trapped by them was a bit arrogant and didn't know how to live or die.

So he couldn't help but say loudly, "Fart! We are not robber cultivators, and we don't plan to do any business without capital.

But I advise you to be honest, lest you lose your life here."

At this time, the late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator also said, "This fellow Daoist Gao, you really didn't come at a good time this time.

It just so happens that we have some things to do here, and it's not convenient to leak them out, so now we can only wrong you for a while.

But we have no malice, as long as you don't resist and stay at the place we specify for a period of time.

We will definitely guarantee your personal safety, and when you leave, we will also give you five thousand spirit stones as a thank-you gift; how does fellow Daoist Gao feel?"

After speaking, he also signaled to the surrounding cultivators with his eyes, obviously wanting to let Lin Zhangqing recognize the situation he was in now.

However, they were too wishful; Lin Zhangqing couldn't possibly surrender without a fight, and he wouldn't hand his life over to others.

Not to mention that life and death were in the hands of others, just losing his freedom, and someone would definitely check the things on his body; by then, if they saw so many spirit objects, he definitely wouldn't be able to keep anything.

Even if he were to be imprisoned for a period of time, he couldn't accept it; he only told Chen Ziya he was going into closed-door cultivation for a few days, and he didn't have time to play with them here.

Now, seeing that these people were barely considered polite, Lin Zhangqing decided to be polite first and then use force.

So he said, "I have no interest in what you are doing here, nor do I want to intervene or participate.

I just came in here to hunt demon beasts and find spirit herbs; I can change the direction of my search and avoid the place where you are doing things.

This way everyone can live in peace; what do you think?"

Hearing Lin Zhangqing say this, all the cultivators on the scene secretly guarded against him, and the face of the late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator also turned cold.

He said coldly, "Fellow Daoist Gao! Don't seek your own death; with so many people attacking together, even if you are a Foundation Establishment cultivator, it will be hard to escape death! Now immediately throw your storage bag and the spiritual artifact in your hand over."

Lin Zhangqing listened and knew that good words couldn't persuade a ghost that was about to die; it seemed that slaughter was unavoidable.
