Chapter 69 Rank 6 Monster Pangolin
Xu Xiaoxiao, along with her second senior brother Mu Zhusheng, senior sister Yuan, senior brother Tu, and other fellow disciples, embarked on their journey to Immortal Spirit City, boarding the flying ark with the unique symbol of the Returning Heaven Sect.
Along the way, Xu Xiaoxiao would occasionally share the scenery with the puppet "Big Brother".
"Senior Brother, look at that valley shrouded in mist, it's so beautiful, isn't it like a fairyland?"
The doll naturally didn't respond, but Xu Xiaoxiao was enjoying herself.
Looking at Xu Xiaoxiao, Mu Zhusheng smiled and said, "Junior Sister, this is just the beginning of the journey. There are many more beautiful sights to come." He usually enjoys alchemy and hasn't left the sect in a long time.
Yuan Mengyao joked, "Xiaoxiao, don't neglect our senior brother's puppet."
Xu Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue: "How could that be, Senior Sister Yuan? I just wanted Senior Brother to experience the fun of this journey as soon as possible."
Tu Minglang, observing the surroundings warily, said, "Everyone should still be careful. Although this route is relatively safe, there's always a chance of something unexpected happening."
Xu Xiaoxiao and the others embarked on their journey to Immortal Spirit City, accompanied by mountains and rivers along the way, and initially the journey went smoothly.
When they reached a dense forest, the sky suddenly darkened, thick fog rolled in, and the road became difficult to see. The group stood back to back in a circle beside the ark.
Tu Minglang frowned and said, "This fog is strange. Everyone be careful not to get separated."
Xu Xiaoxiao hugged the doll tightly and said nervously, "Second Senior Brother, is this dangerous?"
Mu Zhusheng comforted her, "Junior Sister, don't be afraid, we're here for you."
Yuan Mengyao then cast a lighting spell, the pale blue light spreading in the mist, but it could only illuminate a few steps away.
At that moment, a sinister laugh echoed through the fog: "A few little brats, how dare you trespass into my territory."
Tu Minglang shouted loudly, "What kind of evil spirits are you? Show yourself at once!"
A dark figure darted through the fog at incredible speed, snapping tree branches wherever it went.
Xu Xiaoxiao exclaimed in surprise, "What is this thing?"
Mu Zhusheng gripped the sword tightly and said, "No matter what it is, we must not let it hurt anyone."
The dark figure suddenly stopped, revealing its true form: several enormous black wolf demons with glowing green eyes.
The black wolf demon licked its paws and said, "Hand over the spiritual items on your bodies, and I will spare your lives."
Tu Minglang said disdainfully, "You beast, you dare to rob us?" With that, he rushed forward and fought with the black wolf demon.
During the battle, Tu Minglang discovered that the black wolf demon's strength far exceeded his expectations, and shouted, "This monster is not simple, everyone attack together!"
Mu Zhusheng also drew his sword and joined the battle. His swordsmanship was fierce, and every move was aimed at the black wolf demon's vital points.
Yuan Mengyao cast spells to assist, chanting incantations as beams of spiritual energy shot towards the black wolf demon.
Xu Xiaoxiao held the puppet senior brother in her arms, gripped her sword, and joined the attack. Gradually, the black wolf demon was no match for Mu Zhusheng and was stabbed in the arm. Seeing that the situation was not good, the black wolf demon tried to escape.
Tu Minglang shouted, "Trying to run? Not so easy!" He used all his strength to strike the black wolf demon in the back. The black wolf demon howled and fell to the ground, instantly disappearing from its spot.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Mu Zhusheng frowned and said, "This is a demon cultivator. We haven't seen demon cultivators in the cultivation world for a long time. This time, they've appeared and are even hostile to us cultivators. We don't know what we'll encounter on the road ahead, so we need to be even more careful."
Xu Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "Yes, as long as we're together, we're not afraid."
So not all demon cultivators are good. He quickly glanced at the senior brother doll he'd tucked into his arms. "Thank goodness, senior brother's alright."
Yuan Mengyao smiled and said, "That's right, we will definitely be able to reach Immortal Spirit City smoothly."
They put away their weapons. They had just been blown from the ark into this forest by a gust of wind, and they didn't know where they were.
They continued to grope their way forward through the thick fog, wary of any potential dangers.
The group struggled through the thick fog, trying to find their way back to the flying ark.
Suddenly, the ground beneath my feet began to tremble violently, and cracks spread like a spider web.
An older senior student shouted, "Oh no! It looks like some huge thing is moving underground! Everyone, take off!"
Upon hearing this, everyone began to use their aerial flight techniques.
Just as they reached mid-air, a giant terrestrial pangolin burst out of the ground. Its scales shimmered with a metallic sheen, and its massive tail swept out, creating a gust of wind.
Tu Minglang exclaimed, "What kind of monster is this? How can it be so huge!"
Xu Xiaoxiao hugged the doll tightly and said, "This pangolin looks really fierce, what should we do?"
Mu Zhusheng calmly analyzed: "This is a sixth-order demonic beast, the pangolin. Its hide is thick and tough, making it difficult to attack with ordinary methods. We need to find its weakness."
After thinking for a moment, Yuan Mengyao said, "I've heard that the pangolin's abdomen is relatively weak, but it keeps rolling around, making it difficult to attack."
At this moment, the pangolin seemed to be enraged by their discussion, opened its blood-red mouth, and spewed out a corrosive mucus.
Everyone scrambled to get out of the way, but one of the senior female disciples couldn't dodge in time. Her sleeve was stained with the slime, which instantly corroded a large hole in it. She exclaimed, "This slime is terrifying!"
Tu Minglang gritted his teeth and said, "I'll risk it. I'll distract it, and you guys find an opportunity to attack its abdomen."
After saying that, he rushed towards the pangolin and deliberately lingered in front of it, causing the pangolin to chase after him.
Mu Zhusheng seized the opportunity and unleashed a fierce sword move, attempting to stab the pangolin's abdomen. However, the pangolin suddenly curled up into a ball to protect its abdomen, and Mu Zhusheng's sword struck the scales, only scattering a few sparks.
Xu Xiaoxiao looked anxious and said to the puppet, "Senior Brother, we have to think of a way."
Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration and said to Yuan Mengyao, "Senior Sister Yuan, use your vine technique to entangle its limbs so that it can't curl up."
Yuan Mengyao's eyes lit up: "Great idea, Xiaoxiao."
She immediately cast a spell, and several thick vines sprouted from the ground, tightly wrapping around the pangolin's limbs. The pangolin struggled, and it seemed that the vines could no longer hold it.
Mu Zhusheng raised her sword again and this time successfully stabbed the pangolin in the abdomen, causing the pangolin to roar in pain.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Tu Minglang attacked from the side, punching the pangolin in the head repeatedly.
After a fierce battle, the pangolin finally collapsed.
The scales on this sixth-tier demonic beast, the pangolin, are extraordinary.
Its scales are as hard as iron, yet possess a degree of flexibility. Armor crafted from them can not only withstand attacks from ordinary magical artifacts but can even weaken the power of high-level spells. In battle, it can ensure the wearer's safety, making it an excellent defensive item.
These scales contain the earth-elemental spiritual power of the pangolin. After special processing, they can become a key material for setting up defensive formations. They can enhance the stability of the formations and block the invasion of external enemies.
If it is ground into powder and incorporated into pills, it can enhance a cultivator's physique, making their skin and flesh as tough as pangolin scales, greatly improving their resistance to attacks in battle.
Some master craftsmen can also use unique techniques to refine scales into key components of flying magical artifacts, giving the artifacts stronger defensive and impact capabilities, making them indestructible during flight.
Mu Zhusheng spoke up, "This demonic beast is our shared spoils of war. I'll keep it safe for now and we'll divide it up when we get back to the sect..."
The other senior brothers and sisters had no objections. Mu Zhusheng took out a storage bag, put it in, and continued to look for an exit.
Exhausted, everyone collapsed to the ground. One of the junior disciples complained, "Why are we surrounded by such powerful guys along the way? Can't we even enjoy the temple fair in peace?"
Xu Xiaoxiao said optimistically, "Although there are many difficulties, we can overcome them every time. This is also a kind of experience. Our senior brother must be proud of us."
Mu Zhusheng nodded and said, "Junior Sister is right, but we still need to find the Ark as soon as possible and continue our journey."
And so, they began a new exploration and adventure in the fog-shrouded forest.
