Chapter 149: Distributing the Spoils
A figure was approaching quickly and appeared in the sight of Chen Li and the others in the blink of an eye.
Chen Li moved his right hand, a black sword appeared in his hand, and he slashed down with the sword.
Bang! Before he could hit the opponent with his sword, he was knocked away for a long distance.
It was not until he stood firm that he finally saw the other person's figure clearly.
It was a wolf-shaped monster with black fur all over its body, extremely sharp claws, and very creepy fangs at the corners of its mouth. What was strange was that this wolf had no tail.
Moreover, this wolf-shaped monster is four meters tall, giving people a depressing feeling.
Was he hit by this guy at an extremely fast speed? Chen Li stared at the monster in front of him and his expression became cold.
Zheng Yuan, who was standing aside, was holding a dagger, ready to fight. This monster was at least at the peak of the early Golden Core stage.
"Are you okay?" Zheng Yuan asked Chen Li not far away while looking at the monster in front of him.
Just now, Chen Li was hit by a sudden attack, and he didn’t know whether his body could withstand the attack.
Chen Li wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and laughed: "If something happened to me, I wouldn't be able to stand up again."
Although the monster's impact force is very strong, his physical fitness is even stronger. It's just a monster, so he is not afraid.
Even a middle-stage Jindan monster like the Sky Snake was killed by him, so the monster in the peak early-stage Jindan before him was simply not worth mentioning.
While they were still talking, the wolf-shaped monster rushed towards Zheng Yuan, opened its huge mouth and bit him.
Zheng Yuan did not dare to delay and quickly took a few steps back. Unfortunately, he underestimated the speed of the monster.
Because he didn't dodge in time, although he was not bitten, the guy actually scratched his shoulder with his claws, leaving a scar.
"Tsk, this beast is so fast." Zheng Yuan snorted coldly and hurriedly used his spiritual energy to recover from his injuries.
Chen Li didn't think much and rushed forward with the black sword in hand. Since this guy was so fast, let's see who was faster.
In a breath of time, he was already standing in front of the wolf-shaped monster, with spiritual flying swords gathering around him.
The moment these spiritual flying swords gathered, they immediately stabbed towards the monster, and they were everywhere. He didn't believe that this guy could dodge.
What was shocking was that the monster seemed to have anticipated Chen Li’s attack and actually jumped high to neutralize it.
"Zheng Yuan, stop daydreaming!" Chen Li turned his head to look at Zheng Yuan and shouted to him.
Zheng Yuan flashed by and appeared behind the wolf-shaped monster: "Don't rush me, I know what to do."
Now the monster is leaping in the air and descending. This is a great opportunity.
If they give up this opportunity, it will be difficult for them to kill the monster.
The dagger in his hand was pointed at the monster's neck, and his spiritual energy kept flashing and entwining around the wolf-shaped monster's body.
Chen Li was surprised to find that the spiritual energy was not emanating from Zheng Yuan, but from the dagger.
What kind of magic weapon is it that can contain such terrifying spiritual energy?
Originally thinking he had victory within his grasp, Chen Li discovered that a black spiritual energy suddenly burst out from the monster.
"Woo!" The monster suddenly made a sound, causing Zheng Yuan's attack to miss.
His dagger pierced into the ground, and the wolf-shaped monster was safe and sound.
Zheng Yuan was stunned, "What's going on?"
At that moment just now, he had clearly aimed at the monster's neck. Even if it was off, it couldn't have deviated to this extent.
With such a large body, I could have stabbed it even with my eyes closed, but now the attack missed.
"I'm afraid it has something to do with its roar." Chen Li stared at the wolf-shaped monster in front of him and said coldly.
That roar must have confused Zheng Yuan's mind, otherwise this problem would not have arisen.
But now it seems that there may be some trouble, because the condition of the monster in front of him seems to have changed.
Its pair of pitch-black pupils had now turned red, and it exuded a black aura, giving people an extremely dangerous feeling.
Zheng Yuan took a few steps back and came to Chen Li's side, his eyes fixed on the monster: "Something is not right."
When I first saw this monster, it just gave me a somewhat depressing feeling, nothing else.
But now this monster gave people a sense of fear, as if if they moved forward, they would be killed on the spot by it.
"Test its background first." Chen Li stared at the monster in front of him, and his spiritual energy began to spread.
When the spiritual energy approached the monster, it instantly formed a flying spiritual sword and pierced into it.
Surprisingly, these spiritual flying swords did not hit the opponent, because they dissipated the moment they approached.
Chen Li didn't expect that these flying swords would disappear in an instant, and even the spiritual energy had disappeared.
It can be seen that the situation just now did not disappear suddenly, but was absorbed by this monster.
Zheng Yuan naturally saw the clue and tightly grasped the dagger in his hand: "It seems that it can devour spiritual energy. It's a bit troublesome."
Zheng Yuan naturally couldn't deal with a monster at the peak of the early Jindan stage, but Chen Li was a cultivator at the middle Jindan stage.
Even he was helpless. This monster must be a leader in this forest.
"I'll hold him back for a while, you take Sun Lou's space ring and leave here immediately." Chen Li said to Zheng Yuan.
The reason why he did not choose to continue fighting was because something was not right with the situation, because the cultivation level of the monster in front of him was gradually increasing.
He also felt that the reason why this monster stood still was probably to absorb the spiritual energy from the surrounding area.
No wonder the forest is in this state. It's probably all because of the monster in front of us. If we continue to delay, we will be killed by it sooner or later.
This is not a monster they can deal with right now, so they have to leave as soon as possible.
Zheng Yuan nodded and agreed, "I understand."
After saying that, he rushed towards Sun Lou which was not far away. Now that the person was dead, the space ring was of course ownerless.
A Jindan-stage cultivator has many valuable treasures in his space ring. How could he choose to let them go?
When the wolf-shaped monster saw Zheng Yuan suddenly take action, it suddenly let out a loud roar and rushed towards him.
As soon as it moved, a figure suddenly appeared in front of it and slashed at it with an extremely fierce attack.
"Beast, your opponent is me!" Chen Li snorted coldly, his moves were tricky and fierce.
For some unknown reason, Chen Li found that all his attacks were unable to hit the opponent.
It was as if the monster was not in his sight and was attacking the air.
But my purpose is not to kill it, but to delay time.
Just then, Zheng Yuan's voice came from behind him: "It's done!"
The corners of Chen Li's mouth slowly rose. It was almost time to leave. Anyway, the purpose of their coming here was to kill Sun Lou.
As for the monster in front of them, it was not their target at all and could not be killed, so it would be better to leave here .
So he took a few steps back at an extremely fast speed, turned around, and whoosh, he disappeared.
The same is true for Zheng Yuan. Although his speed is not as fast as Chen Li, he can still keep up.
On the contrary, this wolf-shaped monster watched the two people leave and had no intention of chasing them.
It wasn't because it wanted to let its prey escape, but because it didn't dare to chase it any further.
There was fear in those eyes , an instinctive fear, because there was something else deep in the forest.
As for Chen Li and his friends, after running for an incense stick of time, they finally found a relatively secluded place to stop.
"I never thought that I would encounter monsters in a place like this." Zheng Yuan looked very unhappy after sitting down.
This is the territory of the demons. Logically, the demons should have dealt with these monsters long ago, but there are still monsters in this place.
Chen Li didn't say anything. Instead, he took out a few storage bags and placed them on the ground.
He waved his right hand and took out all the things in the storage bags. The dazzling array of treasures made Zheng Yuan gasp.
"I never thought there would be so many treasures." As he said that, Zheng Yuan, like Chen Li, released the treasures he had obtained.
The two of them were now tied to the same rope and neither dared to harm the other. Besides, they had been working together for such a long time, so it was natural that they could split the profits equally.
There is no need to care too much about these things, just divide them up.
Chen Li actually didn’t care about these things. Although there were many treasures, he had just gotten something better.
Afterwards, they took all these things away, leaving only a space ring, which belonged to Sun Lou.
Zheng Yuan stroked his chin and observed the space ring in front of him. "It seems that you are the only one who can break the restriction of this ring."
His cultivation was only at the early stage of the Golden Core, and it was almost impossible for him to break the restrictions of the middle stage of the Golden Core.
Now it can only be handed over to Chen Li to deal with, let him break these restrictions and then see what treasures are inside.
Chen Li didn't say anything. He picked up the ring and spiritual energy began to flow through his fingertips, slowly seeping into the space ring.
Crack, a crisp sound was heard, and the restriction of the space ring had been completely broken.
He took out all the things, and the smile on his face became more and more intense. He never expected that Sun Lou would have so many treasures.
"I really made a fortune this time." Zheng Yuan took a breath. Many of these things were useful to him.
Chen Li picked up a few things and put them into his space ring, then said to Zheng Yuan, "I want these things, and I'll leave the rest to you."
He took away three things, one was a defensive talisman, and the other two were auxiliary materials needed to break through to the late Jindan stage, Tianquan grass and Shengyuan fruit.
As for the others, they are all useless things. Of course, this is only useless to Chen Li, but it is still very useful to Zheng Yuan.
"In that case, I won't be polite." Zheng Yuan put the other things into his bag and only kept the jade pendant.
Looking at the jade pendant in front of him, Zheng Yuan felt a little strange that his spiritual energy could not attract it.
Even Chen Li was a little surprised. He deliberately released his spiritual energy, but found that his spiritual energy was actually absorbed.
"It seems that this thing is a bit strange." Chen Li touched his chin and muttered to himself.
After picking up the jade pendant and observing it carefully, I found that it was not absorbing spiritual energy, but storing it.
It was already empty inside. It was probably because Sun Lou had experienced several battles before and had sucked all the spiritual energy inside away.
Zheng Yuan waved his hand. He had no feelings about this kind of thing. "It seems that this is beyond my control. I might as well give it to you."
Even though he knew that this thing might be very valuable, he also knew that establishing a good relationship with Chen Li was the most important thing.
Besides, it wasn't his own thing, so he wouldn't feel bad about taking someone else's things as a gift.
Chen Li nodded and put the jade pendant into the space ring. "It seems that we have gained a lot this time."
Zheng Yuan was about to answer when a sudden shock caused the two of them quickly stand up and begin to be alert to their surroundings.
