And Tempering An Unsullied Body - Chapter 269

“What a bunch of freaks!”

Putting away the jade pendant, Gu Xi shook his head with a bitter smile.

If he still didn’t make a move, he would have wasted his time coming to this competition.

After thinking for a while, Gu Xi got up and left.

Now that Little Nine had fallen into a deep sleep, Liu Qingqing and Wang Shi had also successfully escaped. Although he did not know where they had gone, the matter had come to a temporary end.

The most important thing now was to earn some points first.

After leaving the cave, Gu Xi spread out his consciousness and simply sensed for a while. He did not leave. Instead, he went straight into the depths of the mountain range.

Under his perception, there were many demon beasts in this stretch of mountain range. Although it could not be considered a large number, it was still better than wandering around alone.

As Gu Xi’s figure disappeared into the mountain forest, the mournful howls of demon beasts rose into the sky from time to time.

One man and one sword, killing the demon beasts in this mountain range without any ability to retaliate.

The Medicine King Valley’s points began to increase rapidly again. Although there was still an almost insurmountable gap between them and the top few sects, based on this speed, it should not take long for the Medicine King Valley to catch up.

In the depths of the mountain range.

Roar roar roar!

Following the roar of another demon beast, its huge body fell to the ground in a pool of blood. In just a few breaths, the vitality in its pupils had already disappeared.

Putting away his long sword, Gu Xi glanced at the jade pendant and found that the Medicine King Valley’s points had already reached 1,751 points.

It had increased by more than 1,000 points!

“It’s not enough, the difference is still too great.”

Gu Xi frowned and immediately lifted his foot, intending to head deeper into the valley.

However, at the next moment, a dark green light rushed over from not far away and shot directly towards Gu Xi’s head from behind.

Gu Xi’s figure paused and the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile.

Immediately after, his figure trembled and his entire body disappeared from where he stood.

A second later, the green light missed him and landed on the spot where he was standing.

Sizzle sizzle–

White bubbles kept popping up on the ground. A moment later, a huge hole appeared.

Not far away, Gu Xi reappeared with a serious expression.

It was obvious that the green light had an extremely corrosive nature.

Fortunately, he had noticed it long ago. If he was accidentally touched by the green light, a piece of flesh would probably fall off instantly. His entire body would be completely corroded, and not even his bones would be left behind!

His gaze moved slightly, and Gu Xi’s gaze fell on the spot where the faint green light had appeared.

There, a demon beast that looked like a lizard was continuously spitting out its tongue. Its pair of earthy yellow eyes were also staring straight at Gu Xi.

Although this demon beast was not big, Gu Xi did not dare to underestimate it. If he was slightly careless, he might meet an extremely miserable fate!

[Ding! Ancient Netherworld Lizard detected.]

[There are 65,812 impurities in the bloodline.]

[Would the Host like to extract it?]

“Ancient Netherworld Lizard?” Gu Xi raised his eyebrows and could not help but fall into deep thought.

He did not know much about the Netherworld Lizard, but he could at least confirm one thing, that the Netherworld Lizard was a kind of demon beast that lived in groups!

Since there was one here, it meant that there was definitely more nearby!

In this mountain range, there would definitely be a group of Ancient Netherworld Lizards that lived here!

Killing one would not earn him many points, but what if he killed all of them?

After all, they were genuine ancient demon beasts!

After coming back to his senses, Gu Xi grinned, and his eyes shone as he looked at the Netherworld Lizards.

This was simply a big pie that fell from the sky!

With a flip of his palm, the longsword appeared out of thin air once again.

Sharp Sword Qi burst out at the same time, and a streak of Sword Qi rushed towards the Netherworld Lizard’s location. Wherever it passed, not even a blade of grass remained.

“Hiss, hiss, hiss…”

As if it felt the power of the Sword Qi, the Netherworld Lizard continuously spat out its tongue. The outer layer of its armor-like skin emitted a green glow, and immediately, its outer layer became a few times thicker. It was as if it had really become a layer of armor.

However, no matter how thick its skin was, in the face of the difference in strength, everything was useless.

The sword aura whizzed past and ruthlessly struck the Netherworld Lizard’s body.

The Netherworld Lizard’s entire body was actually flipped over. A large portion of the outer layer of its armor had already been damaged, revealing its flesh and blood.

Hiss, hiss, hiss…

After withstanding this attack with great difficulty, the Netherworld lizard spat out its tongue to warn Gu Xi before turning around and swiftly flying into the distance.

At this moment, it finally understood that it was not the man’s match.

“Please lead the way.”

Looking at the direction where the Netherworld Lizard had fled to, Gu Xi grinned. The tip of his feet lightly tapped on the ground, and his entire body followed silently like a fallen leaf.

That sword strike earlier was actually enough to take that fellow’s life.

It was just that under Gu Xi’s deliberate retraction, it was only slightly injured.

If the Netherworld Lizard died here, then he might not be able to find the exact location of the Netherworld Lizard’s race in his entire life.

One had to know that other than being famous for their poison, the Netherworld Lizard’s concealment methods could even be said to be among the best among the demon beasts.

As for the Netherworld Lizard from before, it was obvious at a glance that it was not yet an adult. Otherwise, Gu Xi would not have easily discovered that it was following him in the dark.

A man and a beast were chasing each other as they shuttled through the mountain forest.

Not long after, the Netherworld Lizard’s figure suddenly stopped in front of them.

Gu Xi also stopped in a hurry. However, he was not in a hurry to show himself. Instead, he chose to hide in the dark and observe quietly.

However, what surprised Gu Xi was that the Netherworld lizard roared a few times towards his location. It was obvious that it had already discovered the fact that Gu Xi had been following it.

For a moment, Gu Xi could not help but feel a little awkward.

However, before he could react, rustling sounds could be heard from the depths of the surrounding forest.

Gu Xi’s expression froze, and the spiritual energy in his body was instantly ready to be unleashed.

Something was approaching, rapidly approaching!

Not only that, there was more than one!

Gu Xi’s spiritual sense spread out, and he could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.

He could clearly sense that a large number of Netherworld Lizards were approaching nearby!

Evidently, he had unknowingly entered the territory of the Netherworld lizards.

Soon, the first Netherworld Lizard appeared, followed by the second, third, and fourth… Until Gu Xi could not count them all.

“There are so many of them…” Slowly scanning the surroundings, Gu Xi raised his eyebrows.

Looking around, there were at least hundreds of Netherworld Lizards!

This was a terrifying number of Netherworld Lizards!

However, although they were surrounded, Gu Xi did not show any panic at all.
