Chapter 1696 – Hidden Thunder Drum
In a valley more than fifty kilometers away from the fire valley, a small and exquisite concealment array was laid out behind a tree. Yang Xuanji and Yang Linghe were hidden within the array, carefully looking into the valley.
“How is it, how is it?”
Yang Xuanji maintained the array as he asked Yang Linghe this.
“Not good, these people definitely have experts guiding them in the dark, the location of their excavation seems to be the location of a branch of the fire valley that you mentioned earlier.”
Yang Linghe carefully inspected the cultivation bases of the three alien cultivators in the valley and found that other than the two leaders, who had reached Huagai’s field, the two of them had also reached the Rui Qi Realm.
“Then what should we do? If this branch of the Fire Vein in the valley was really broken by these people, although it would not cause the fire valley to be paralyzed as the crux of the formation, it would definitely weaken the formation to a certain degree. ” Yang Xuanji said anxiously.
Yang Linghe’s eyes flashed as he stared at the valley. He calculated: “Uncle, do you think we should go for him together?”
“Huh?” Yang Xuanji said subconsciously.
Yang Linghe pointed to the valley and said: “The three alien cultivators inside are Gu race cultivators, so their abilities and techniques have been suppressed to a certain extent by me.
Yang Xuanji immediately shook his head when he heard this: “Are you crazy? The Gu cultivator with the highest cultivation level is at least at the Fourth Cycle high level, which is equivalent to our Huagai’s field. You are only at the Qingyun Realm level, not to mention that the Gu cultivator with the highest cultivation level still has an assistant at the Fourth Cycle who is equivalent to the Rui Qi realm, how can we fight against him? ”
Yang Xuanji saw that Yang Linghe had turned his head to look at him, and said snappily: “Don’t look at me, if you really make a move, I can barely hold on to one of the two early stage Fourth Cycle helpers, even if you can block it, how confident are you in fighting them by yourself?”
Yang Linghe heard and hesitated, then said: “Then what do you think we should do, do you think we should just watch them break that branch?”
Yang Xuanji clenched his teeth and said: “Should we wait? The fire meridians derived from the fire valley are protected by array formations, and even if the three of them are able to break this branch, it will not be possible for them to do so in a short period of time. We can stay here to spy on them, and wait for the two seniors of the Miao siblings to come over.
Not long after Yang Xuanji finished speaking, the Gu cultivator leading the group suddenly took out a cloth bag from his waist and opened it up, then saw a dense group of finger-sized fire red ants crawling out, and then digging into the ground.
“It’s broken, it’s broken! It’s a Spiritual Fire Ant!”
Yang Xuanji felt his scalp going numb as he looked at those scarlet ants crawling out endlessly from his pockets.
“What is a Spiritual Fire Ant?” Yang Linghe asked.
Yang Xuanji said anxiously: “Hai, I can’t explain it clearly right now, you only need to know that not only can these Spirit Fire Ants avoid the formation to protect their branches, they can also absorb the Fire Elemental Energy inside.”
Yang Linghe’s gaze that was looking at the valley suddenly changed, and he said solemnly: “That is to say, with this time, even if we do not take action, we are unable to?”
“Sigh, the odds of winning aren’t high, but the odds of winning aren’t high!” Yang Xuanji was still a little afraid of attacking.
“That may not be so!” Yang Linghe said in a low voice.
Ever since the alien cultivators descended upon the Xishan Continent through the Thunder Light Heavenly Canopy, the thunder above the fire valley never stopped.
Mighty thunderous roars spread out in all directions from the fire valley. Even in the valley where Yang Xuanji and the rest were at, they would occasionally hear the sound of rolling thunder.
“Is this really possible?” Yang Xuanji asked with a lack of confidence.
Yang Linghe bluntly said: “Unless your array is wrong.”
“How could my formation be wrong?” When Yang Xuanji heard it, his hair stood on end: “If you want to say fight, I, your uncle, will definitely admit it, but if you say Accomplishment of Array Path, I, your uncle, dare say that I am Yang Family’s number two!”
Yang Linghe said disdainfully: “The Yang Family’s number two, don’t just talk about training!”
Yang Xuanji took down a large storage bag from his waist, and witaise, several tens of different array formation spirit materials landed at different places outside of the valley entrance. He snorted and said: “Just you wait!”
The muffled thunder from the direction of the fire valley got louder and louder, the rolling thunder seemed to be spreading towards the valley.
“Bang, bang, bang …”
The sound of thunder approached from afar, causing even the surrounding Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth to tremble endlessly, causing the three Gu cultivators in the valley to feel extremely annoyed.
“Brother Fang, the thunder seems to be getting closer!”
One of the Gu cultivators said to the Huagai’s field Gu cultivator in the lead.
The Gu surnamed Fang was two realms higher than the other two, and the lightning power that scattered in the sky had little effect on him, so he said: “There’s no rush, I think the group of Great Divine Cultivator fighting above the fire valley must be approaching us.”
“Bang, bang, bang …”
Just as he finished his sentence, another muffled sound of thunder could be heard. It sounded like it was getting closer.
Another Gu cultivator heard this and asked worriedly, “Are you going to attack us?”
The Gu cultivator surnamed Fang smiled, and said: “Relax, the fire valley only has one Golden Immortal, and at the moment, there are at least two or three Golden Immortals ganging on him, and they are too busy for him, why would they care about this place?”
“Bang, bang, bang …”
Another muffled clap of thunder could be heard. The hearts of the two lower leveled Gu cultivators thumped along with the thunder. Following that, even their faces turned slightly pale.
The Gu cultivator with the surname Fang said: “Moreover, the Golden Immortal, the one who was guarding the fire valley, cannot leave, otherwise he would not be protected by the Western Mountain Madame Yang’s protective array. Otherwise, the fire valley would have been destroyed long ago.”
“Bang, bang, bang …”
“Hey, what’s wrong with you two?”
It was only at this time that the Gu cultivator surnamed Fang noticed the strange expressions on his two companions’ faces, and he quickly asked.
The Rank four Gu cultivator who was the first to speak endured the surging true essence in his body, barely managing to say, “Brother Fang, the two of us don’t have your cultivation, the thunder restrains us too much, our low level Gu spirits are already out of control …”
The other Gu cultivator also said in a raspy voice, “Brother Fang, please allow us to leave the valley. We will give way for the time being, otherwise, it will be unbearable …”
“Rumble …” “BOOM!”
This time, the sound of thunder seemed to have exploded outside the valley, the two low level Gu cultivators each let out a groan, and one of them was about to vomit.
Even that Gu cultivator surnamed Fang seemed to be affected by the sound of thunder as the primeval essence in his body became chaotic.
“Mm, not good. Even the fire spirit ant is on the verge of losing control from the thunder!”
The Gu cultivator surnamed Fang quickly strengthened his control over the fire spirit ant, causing the Gu’s true essence to continuously flow out of his body.
“Rumble …” “BOOM!”
This time, the thunder sounded like it was in the sky above the valley. The two low level Gu cultivators let out a loud cry, each of them prostrating themselves on the ground and circulating their primeval essence to calm the rampaging Gu worms in their bodies.
The Gu cultivator surnamed Fang, on the other hand, looked at the Spiritual Flame Ants that had fallen into complete chaos, and suddenly turned his head to look outside the valley.
“Only thunder can’t see lightning, that’s not right! Someone is plotting against us! Who, who is there! ”
Gu Master Fang shouted towards the outside of the valley. He didn’t even bother with the spirit fire ants on the ground that were already in chaos. With a wave of his hands, two Revolving Thousand Feet Gu Spirit Insects flew out from his sleeves, sticking close to the ground and swimming towards the outside of the valley.
At this moment, another thunderous roar exploded in the air above the valley.
“Boom …” “Crack!”
This time, just as the thunder started, the thunderbolts also appeared. Moreover, it was two thunderbolts falling from the sky side by side.
“Not good, quickly dodge!”
A lightning bolt as thick as a bucket fell from the sky. Its extremely powerful and majestic aura filled the entire valley in an instant, causing the Gu cultivator’s expression to change as he hurriedly ran towards the exit of the valley.
However, the two initial Dao Realm Gu cultivators were not so lucky as to even have the ability to dodge the two lightning bolts.
Just as he escaped to the entrance of the valley, he heard a drum sound, making him, who was caught off guard, dizzy.
Vaguely, he seemed to see a man come out from the forest, with a cowhide drum tied to his waist.
“Yes!”
Yang Linghe took the chance to take a few steps back as the two drumsticks in his hands flew out and struck towards the Gu cultivator’s body.
Although the Gu cultivator surnamed Fang was unable to control his body, he could barely react in the face of death. A jade bone armor appeared on his body, protecting him within it.
However, when Yang Linghe’s two drumsticks neared the Fang family’s Gu cultivator, they split apart from his left and right, striking towards the two sides of the valley.
There were two loud sounds in succession, and along with the sound of a large amount of rocks falling, the two Rank four Gu worms surnamed Fang were easily hit in the head by Yang Linghe’s drumsticks and their bodies were covered by the falling rocks.
“Ugh …”
After the Gu worm was killed, Gu Yin immediately spat out blood, his face like golden paper, and his entire body fell to the ground.
Yang Linghe did not dare to be careless, the two drumsticks coming back together at the mouth of the valley. One was aimed at his back, while the other was aimed at the back of his head.
Indeed, the originally dying Gu Master Fang suddenly erupted, opened his mouth and spat out, his tongue actually shot out more than a hundred feet, as though he was thrusting straight at Yang Linghe.
Yang Linghe seemed to have been scared silly by this powerful blow of the surnamed Fang Gu, and actually stood there with a look of shock on his face, not moving an inch.
Due to his severe injuries, Gu Fang was unable to dodge Yang Linghe’s two drumsticks, and was struck in the back of the heart and the back of the head.
However, the snake spear that the Gu surnamed Fang spoke of had also pierced through Yang Linghe’s body, but at this time, his life force had already disappeared, and’s body that was struck by the snake spear was no different from a bubble.
“That was close!”
Yang Linghe’s figure appeared seventy to eighty meters away from the forest. The previous figure, on the other hand, was just an illusion.
“That was close!”
Another voice came from the forest, Yang Xuanji then stuck his head out and looked at Gu Xian’s body in the distance, and asked: “He should really be dead now, right?”
“Don’t worry, he’s completely dead!” Yang Linghe said with certainty.
“That’s good!”
Yang Xuanji heaved a sigh of relief, then looked at the broken half of the jade in his palm and said painfully: “I lost so much. For these three guys, I actually gave up on my own identity plate and received a five colored lightning bolt. Why didn’t I use your jade pendant at that time?”
Yang Linghe, who was fighting with a widow on the body of the Gu Master Fang, laughed when he heard this: “Don’t forget, the method to hide the drum’s sound behind the thunder is something I thought of.”
Yang Xuanji was still in pain: “Without my cooperation, how could those three Gu cultivators have fallen into my trap?”
“Who asked your cultivation to be so low, and the power of lightning that you summon is also the weakest? Also, don’t think that I don’t know. You did something to the nameplate jade pendant and summoned the power of one lightning light four times, further weakening the power of the lightning. Stop talking nonsense, this nest of Spiritual Fire Ants is still alive, do you still want it? ” Yang Linghe’s voice came from the valley.
“Yo! Yo! Don’t move for laozi! That nest of Spiritual Flame Ants is mine!”
Yang Xuanji ran into the valley.
