When have I ever been afraid!?
Isn't it just a little … stronger than me? Even if I can't eat it for a while, I can still cripple it. Even if I can't … Besides, don't I still have you, Uncle … right? "Jintong's voice grew softer and softer as he spoke. In the end, it was as soft as a mosquito.
"With my current strength, I'm absolutely no match for it.
If it wasn't for the Beast Clan's King of True Spirits, Youhu, things would've been troublesome. "Han Li sighed.
"Uncle, actually … I could only vaguely sense it before we encountered it. But this time, it has completely locked onto my aura. I'm afraid that it will be able to find me if we can't escape from the wilderness." Jintong looked a little dispirited as he spoke slowly.
When Han Li heard this, he shook his head and lightly sighed.
This time was different from the past. Faced with a Golden Immortal Devourer that was far stronger than him, Jintong instinctively wanted to devour it, but at the same time, he instinctively feared being devoured by it.
"Un … Uncle …" Jintong tugged at the corner of Han Li's clothes when he saw this.
"If that's the case, it's going to be a little troublesome … Not to mention the fact that we don't have a complete map of the surroundings, even if we leave this place, we'll only be running around in confusion. Even if we have a map of the surroundings, it's impossible for us to escape the wilderness in a short period of time." Han Li pondered.
"Then what should we do?" Jintong was a little vexed.
"Although I've temporarily sealed that guy's Nascent Soul, given its cultivation, it won't take long for it to make a comeback.
The next time it attacks, even if I join forces with Youhu, we might not be able to gain the upper hand.
During this period of time when it recovers, I need to speed up my cultivation and see if I can improve my strength a little more. At the same time, I need to restore the power of my Wheel of Truth as much as possible. That way, we might still have a chance of winning. "Han Li said with a frown.
"I knew Uncle would have a way … What are the chances of winning?" Jintong's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"Ten percent." Han Li extended a finger.
"Isn't that a slim chance of survival?" Jin Tong said with a long face.
"That's on the bright side … 10% is already not bad," Han Li said with a bitter smile.
"By the way, Uncle, do you have any more treasures like that furnace from before?
I'll eat it quickly and sleep for a while. Who knows, maybe I'll be able to defeat them! "Jin Tong frowned at first, but he soon thought of something and asked.
Han Li shook his head and said, "That kind of treasure can only be found by luck. Moreover, I didn't even have time to check it out before you ate it clean. I have no idea what kind of treasure it is."
"Little White, quickly use your dog nose to sniff around and see if there are any good treasures around." Jin Tong asked the white jade Pi Xiu.
When the latter heard this, he rolled his eyes and looked annoyed.
In the hall below the Dark Star Canyon waterfall, there were dozens of large animal skin chairs placed around the bonfire. There were seven or eight strange looking people from different races sitting around them.
Although there were not many of them, they were the chiefs of the largest tribes in the Beast Race. They represented the highest authority in the Beast Race apart from the True Spirit Monarch.
"Chief Qing Lin, you didn't wait for the tribes to gather before you invited the King's true body. How do you explain this?"
A purple-skinned man with a yaksha face looked at Nuo Qing Lin and asked.
"What do you need me to explain, Chief Qing Lin?
What would you do if the Spiritual Insects suddenly led an army to attack the Night Owl Tribe? "Nuo Qing Lin glanced at him coldly and said.
"Don't blame Chief Qing Lin. The King was invited by Lord Su Liu." Wu Lu glanced at the yaksha man and said with dissatisfaction.
"Let's not fight for nothing.
That Spirit Insect definitely won't let this go, so we should discuss how to counterattack. "Another white clothed woman whose body was almost transparent and seemed to be formed from a hazy mist said.
Her face was 70% similar to that of a human. There were faint green patterns around her eyelids, which made her eyes look bigger and shined with a strange light that could captivate people's souls.
"Chief Mei is right. Let's talk about something useful.
Patriarch Qing Lin, I heard that the reason we were able to repel the spirit insects was because of a human male. Is this true? "A man with a sturdy body and black spikes all over his body said. He looked like a wild boar.
Although he looked rough, his cultivation level was the highest among the people present.
As soon as he said this, everyone looked at Nuo Qing Lin.
This person saved my daughter Ivan and the Xiang Neck Tribe at Deer Hill and escorted them back to the Dark Star Canyon. I ordered him to stay in the canyon for now, "Nuo Qing Lin said after a slight hesitation.
"Chief Qing Lin, are you confused again?
How dare you accept a human? "The purple-skinned man who looked like a yaksha sneered.
"I've already ordered people to keep a close eye on this person. He just wants to exchange for some maps of the Wilderness. I'll let him go after I've sorted them out," Nuo Qing Lin said coldly.
The burly man who looked like a wild boar clasped his hands in front of him and said, "A mid-stage Golden Immortal cultivator can join forces with the king to defeat the Spiritual Insects?"
"Chief Qing Lin didn't think that the Spiritual Insects would attack the Dark Star Canyon as soon as he arrived. Isn't this too much of a coincidence?
Maybe he's a wedge planted by the Spiritual Insects and they put on a show. Once we're all here, they'll kill us all in one fell swoop, "the genie raised his brows and continued.
There was not much evidence to support this conjecture, but it was extremely powerful.
As expected, the expressions of most of the tribe leaders, including Yin Mei, changed slightly and they all looked at Nuo Qing Lin.
"This person is not an ordinary mid-stage Golden Immortal cultivator. He has a spirit pet with the aura of the Wilderness and he seems to have many kinds of True Spirit Bloodlines.
Do you think that the Spiritual Insects will cooperate with someone with the True Spirit Bloodline of the Beast Clan? "Nuo Qing Lin's expression did not change and he asked.
"What … He has the True Spirit Bloodline?" The genie was shocked and said.
"If not, why would I let him step into my Dark Star Canyon?" Nuo Qing Lin said indifferently without looking at him.
"Chief Ze Wushi, what do you think?" Yin Mei asked the burly man with smoke rising from her body.
"Since he has the True Spirit Bloodline, he can't be a spy for the Insect Clan. However, this person is a human after all, so we can't trust him.
If we can make use of him in the future, we'll use him. If not, we'll make him leave as soon as possible, "the wild boar Ze Wushi said.
"After all, he's a mid-stage Golden Immortal cultivator with extraordinary combat power. It's best not to make enemies with him at this time," Yin Mei agreed.
"Since the green swine and the succubus have said so, I have no objections." The genie shrugged and said indifferently.
"If that's the case, then …"
"Wait …" Before Nuo Qinglin could finish his words, he was interrupted by an old voice.
Everyone heard the voice and looked in the direction opposite Ze Wushi.
They saw an old man with white hair and a face full of wrinkles. He slowly leaned forward and sat up from the big chair.
At first glance, he looked exactly the same as a human, but upon closer inspection, one could see that there were eight or nine fist-sized lion heads around his human face.
Previously, when everyone was discussing, he had been leaning against the back of the chair and half of his body was buried in the shadow of the bonfire. His eyes were closed and he looked like he had fallen asleep. It was only now that he suddenly woke up.
"Senior Yin Shen, what can I do for you?" Nuo Qing Lin frowned and asked.
This person was the previous clan leader of the Hu Shi Clan. He had an extremely high seniority. He had originally passed the position to his only son and focused on cultivation. In the end, his only son was killed by the Human Clan in a conflict with the cultivators of the Desolate Hunting Tribe.
He came out of seclusion in anger and chased that group of human cultivators for millions of miles. After killing the last human cultivator at the top of the northern city wall of Elemental Desolation City, he returned to his clan with hundreds of cultivators' heads. He piled up a mountain of human heads in front of his son's tombstone and became the clan leader again.
"You all know about the Spiritual Insect. Its physique is even stronger than King's, and its recovery ability is even better.
This time, it suddenly attacked. Not only was the Dark Star Canyon not prepared, but the Insect Clan also did not have the time to mobilize all their forces.
But after it recovers its strength and brings the entire Insect Clan army to attack, I'm afraid that King's injuries will not be healed yet. With just the few of us, how can we stop it? "Yin Shen asked expressionlessly.
When everyone heard this, they either pondered in silence or looked at each other. No one could give an answer.
"Clan Leader Yin Shen, please don't keep us in suspense. If you have a solution, just say it."
A withered old woman with snow-white hair, a pair of unusually large ears, and a pointed nose leaned forward and said.
In terms of age and seniority, she was about the same as Yin Shen, and she was the clan leader of the Divine Elephant Clan.
"Senior Yin Shen, do you have a good solution? Please tell us," Ze Wushi also said.
"Since that human has a true spirit bloodline, I'm sure you all know how to make the most of it without me saying …" Yin Shen glanced at Nuo Qinglin and said slowly.
"You mean to refine him with the blood refinement method and refine the true spirit blood for King to recover from his injuries?" The genie's eyes lit up as he chuckled.
Although he is a human, he is a benefactor to the Beast Clan. How can we do something so ungrateful? "Nuo Qinglin frowned and immediately said.
"Ungrateful … Clan Leader Qing Lin, have you forgotten how your wife died?
Why are you talking about gratitude with a human?
Are you crazy? "The genie's expression turned serious as he scolded.
"The survival of a clan versus the life and death of a single person. I'm sure Clan Leader Qing Lin doesn't know how to choose?" Ze Wushi turned to look at him and asked indifferently.
"He fought alongside His Majesty to repel the Spiritual Insects. His Majesty will not agree to it." Nuo Qinglin sighed in his heart when he saw this and said noncommittally.
"I wasn't really sleeping just now. I've already discussed it with King, and he agreed to do this." Yin Shen smiled and said.
Nuo Qinglin heard this and was silent for a while before sighing. "If that's the case, then I have no more concerns …"
