Chapter 1990: Another Job
Perhaps they were shocked by Gu Mufeng's move, or perhaps this place was too far from the nest of the group of fire bats, or perhaps the leading fire bat realized that it was no match for them and there was no point in chasing them, so the three Yuanying fire bats screamed and retreated unwillingly.
Seeing the bats retreat, Gu Mufeng's body softened and he almost sat on the ground. The previous move consumed too much energy, and now he was very weak. He had to find a place to recover as soon as possible. If the fire bats did not retreat, he would have to fight to the death, and the result was really hard to predict.
Qingyang took out a bag and handed it to Gu Mufeng, saying, "There are four and a half pounds of strange fire night-shining sand and seven ounces of strange fire Mingwang sand in this cave. I will confiscate the ordinary night-shining sand to avoid delays."
Gu Mufeng took the bag and opened it to take a look. His face was immediately filled with joy. He said, "In the past, when we came to the strange fire cave, it was considered good to get half a pound of strange fire Mingwang sand. As a result, we got seven ounces of strange fire Mingwang sand in just this nest. It's worth our risking our lives to get in."
After that, Gu Mufeng looked at Qingyang and said, "This trip to the strange fire cave can have such a harvest, thanks to fellow Daoist Qingyang, I can't thank you enough. I said, when we return to Cangmu City and report to my father, we will gather the strength of the whole clan to find elixirs for you to heal your meridians and help you recover soon. Next, I need to rest and adjust for a while. We will continue to set off in three hours. ”
Qingyang’s situation is much better than Gu Mufeng’s. Because of the damage to his meridians, his true essence has not been consumed at all, and his divine thoughts have not been used much. That is, his physical strength has been consumed a little more. At most, he will be fully recovered in half an hour. After three hours, Gu Mufeng’s true essence has recovered by more than half, and his condition has been adjusted. The two of them continued to go to the depths of the strange fire cave.
After that, Qingyang and Gu Mufeng spent a day and a half to find another strange fire bat nest in a branch cave. The number of strange fire bats in this nest is more than the last one, reaching about 120, but most of them are foundation-building strange fire bats, there are more than a dozen golden elixir strange fire bats, and there are only two Yuanying strange fire bats. The overall strength is worse than the last group.
They dared to go through that situation last time, so they certainly couldn't let it go this time. The two of them still followed the division of labor from last time, with Gu Mufeng responsible for spreading the news and Qingyang responsible for collecting the strange fire Mingwang sand. However, their luck was not very good this time. Qingyang had just avoided the group of strange fire bats sleeping on the strange fire, and before he could get to the cave inside, the entire group of strange fire bats was alarmed.
In desperation, Gu Mufeng could only bite the bullet and use his ultimate move to attract the attention of the group of fire bats. Then he retreated from the fire bat nest while fighting. However, there were still people in the nest. The fire bats did not chase Gu Mufeng. There were still dozens of them left. There were seven or eight in the Jindan realm, and the strongest was about the ninth level of the Jindan. However, these fire bats were not good enough in front of Qingyang. In less than a cup of tea, Qingyang killed three Jindan fire bats and more than a dozen foundation-building fire bats. After he hit the ninth-level Jindan fire bat with a punch, the remaining fire bats no longer dared to confront Qingyang head-on. They were just worried that the nest could not be lost, so they dared to circle around the periphery.
Without the interference of the fire bats, Qingyang had time to do his business. He soon found two small caves deep in the cave. The caves were full of various levels of night-shining sand. There were about three catties of the level of the night-shining sand of the fire, and about half a catty of the king of fire sand.
Just like before, Qingyang only collected the Night Light Sand and the King Light Sand, then left the Fire Bat's nest and hurried to the place where Gu Mufeng was fighting with the Fire Bats.
Qingyang moved quickly, so not too much time passed. Gu Mufeng led the Fire Bats a few miles away, and Qingyang found them quickly, but Gu Mufeng's condition was not good. At this time, he was pale and covered with wounds. I'm afraid he can't hold on for long.
Yes, Gu Mufeng is only at the second level of the Nascent Soul, and the strength of the two Nascent Soul Fire Bats is also in the early stage of the Nascent Soul, not worse than him at all. In addition, the Fire Bats have the innate advantage in the Fire Cave, and there are nearly a hundred Foundation Building and Golden Core Fire Bats to help. Gu Mufeng has been able to hold on until now, which is considered an extraordinary performance. Not everyone is as powerful as Qingyang.
With Qingyang's joining, the one-sided battle was quickly reversed. Qingyang was like a demon god, who could kill gods and Buddhas. The fire bats had almost no power to fight back when they met him. Only the attack of the Yuanying fire bats could pose a threat to Qingyang, but they did not dare to fight Qingyang head-on. Once they were hit by Qingyang's fist, they would definitely be injured. Therefore, the Yuanying fire bats could only sneak attack Qingyang. Not long after, the bodies of the fire bats fell to the ground.
With help, Gu Mufeng became more and more courageous. The previous injuries were almost all superficial injuries, which had little impact on his strength. Now was the time to fight together. Of course, he could not be lazy. He swallowed two pills for healing and restoring true essence, and sacrificed the magic weapon to kill the fire bats.
The details will not be repeated here. The whole battle lasted for an incense stick of time. After killing four Jindan Fire Bats and more than a dozen Foundation Building Fire Bats, the two found the right time to quickly escape outside. The Fire King Sand had been obtained, so there was no need to kill the entire group of Fire Bats.
The group of Fire Bats also felt that the two were difficult to deal with. Now that the enemy took the initiative to retreat, there was no loss except for the death and injury of some low-level Fire Bats. In this case, the group of Fire Bats chose to retreat, let Qingyang and Gu Mufeng go, and returned to the cave with the bats.
After running away for a distance, the two stopped. Qingyang handed the received strange fire night sand to Gu Mufeng. Gu Mufeng's situation this time was more serious than last time. Not only was his true essence and spiritual consciousness seriously damaged, but he was also injured. However, seeing so much gain, it seemed that no matter how much suffering he had, it was worth it.
Because Gu Mufeng was injured, the two rested for a little longer this time. After half a day, Gu Mufeng's true essence and spiritual consciousness had recovered, and most of the wounds on his body had scabs. Although they were not fully healed, they had no effect on his strength, and his condition was almost adjusted.
Calculating the time, there was only half of the seven-day deadline for Gu Mufeng and the three Jindan cultivators to meet up. The two decided to use these three and a half days to do one last job. No matter how much they gained, they would leave here and meet up with the three Jindan cultivators. If they didn't even find a strange fire bat nest in these three and a half days, there was nothing they could do and they could only admit that they were unlucky.
