After a century of worship, I became the ancestor of the tribe.

Chapter 288 The Mysterious Golden Brain! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Chi Huo Lu Wu's lament was not without reason; if it had such a grand formation, it wouldn't have been ambushed by Fei Yi last time.

It is precisely because I have been beaten that I can truly understand the importance of having a powerful protective formation.

Its shoulder was pierced by the bow-wielding monster, and a thick, icy black liquid gushed out from the wound under the scorching heat of the supreme yang flames, which burned into black smoke.

Although he was injured, he had severely damaged a fifth-tier monster, which was his biggest victory in many years.

Furthermore, it also took out the spirit fruit and the spirit tree.

Shen Can was inspecting the Golden Crow Bow. The entire bronze-cast bow exuded a coldness, and a chilling aura emanated from deep within the bow.

The Golden Crow script, which was clearly the epitome of Yang energy, had its fiery nature completely washed away by Yin energy.

As Shen Can's divine sense entered the Golden Crow Bow, he sensed a dim 'space'. This was the spirit realm that the magical artifact autonomously created after it gave birth to its spirit.

Within the spirit realm, a three-legged golden crow huddled together, its fiery aura belonging to the fire element long since extinguished, and the entire golden crow spirit had turned black.

The spirit of the artifact was still surrounded by wisps of cold, deathly energy, which even condensed into water droplets on its body, making it impossible to sense any life force at all.

In this state, you might say the Golden Crow Bow has a spirit, but the spirit is dead.

You might say it doesn't have a spirit, but it does.

Furthermore, in Shen Can's opinion, spirits and monsters don't seem to have the ability to forge, so how did the Golden Crow Bow get into the underground cave?

Clearly, a fifth-tier martial artist had entered the underground cave long ago, and perhaps due to bad luck, both the bow and the person were left behind.

"Buzz!"

Shen Can summoned the Broken Edge Spear, drawing out a divine fire from it that plunged into the Golden Crow Bow.

The supremely yang divine fire was hindered by the yin and death energy after entering the spirit realm. The collision between the two caused the spirit realm to shake violently.

Shen Can immediately reduced the intensity of the divine fire and split it into strands that entered the spirit realm. Unfortunately, the small-scale divine fire was not only unable to dispel the cold death energy, but was directly annihilated by the death energy.

The spirit of the Golden Crow Bow is terminally ill. Forcibly refining it with divine fire will cause the spirit and its domain to collapse, which will also affect the entire Golden Crow Bow.

If we use a small-scale divine fire, the firepower will not be enough to dispel the cold and deathly aura.

The bow, forged with the most yang energy and imprinted with the Golden Crow Witchcraft script, could extinguish any fire, demonstrating that the chilling, deathly aura within the cave was far more intense than imagined.

"How about it?"

Seeing Shen Can put down the Golden Crow Bow, Crimson Fire Lu Wu spoke.

It didn't say it would give it a try. The divine fire in Shen Can's hand was no weaker than its own natal beast fire. If Shen Can couldn't dispel the cold, deathly aura of the Golden Crow Bow, then it was powerless to do anything about it.

Red Fire Luwu wasn't interested in magical artifacts. It was naturally indifferent to them, and its claws, horn, and tail were more useful, which were equivalent to three magical artifacts.

Next, Chi Huo Lu Wu took out the spirit fruit tree.

"We agreed to split it equally."

Looking at the fruit on the tree, Akahō Rikugo swallowed hard.

We finally managed to snatch some food from the underground cave.

With a 'sizzle', the spirit fruit was split in two, and Crimson Fire Lu Wu opened his mouth and swallowed his half.

However, it did not swallow it directly. The spiritual fruit contained a strong, cold energy, and it used a gentle flame in its mouth to begin removing the cold energy from the spiritual fruit.

Unfortunately, the results weren't very good.

Left with no other choice, he could only swallow it whole and refine the essence of the spiritual fruit first. As for the side effects caused by the cold and damp energy, he could gradually eliminate them later.

Shen Can did not eat the spirit fruit directly. He sealed half of the spirit fruit and planned to take it back to see if he could dispel the cold energy inside.

Subsequently.

Both the man and the beast began to recover their depleted blood energy, and Shen Can swallowed the witch pills prepared for him by the clan in large gulps.

Akahira Rikugo lay down beside him, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep, and even started snoring.

The giant turtle formation slowly began to operate, blending seamlessly with the surrounding jungle.

This great formation is the one from the Aoshan Bo tribe. After Shen Can repaired and comprehended it, it has now become a small fifth-order formation that can be carried around.

A thousand miles outside the great formation, a wild beast resembling a long snake, with two pairs of wings and eight legs, hovered in mid-air, looking around.

This beast is none other than the Plague Beast King of the Giant Mountain Range, the Eight-Legged Fei Yi.

As it flew, it opened its mouth and swallowed the surrounding air currents, and thus arrived at the place where Shen Can and Lu Wu were resting.

Through the devouring airflow, it caught the residual flame aura left by its old rival, Crimson Fire Lu Wu.

But once they reached this point, the aura vanished.

"It seems the old web crawler has learned some tricks."

After circling the great formation several times, a hint of surprise flashed in the eight-legged fat relic's small triangular eyes.

It has been lurking at the entrance of the underground cave for many years, all for the purpose of ambushing the fifth-tier creatures that enter the cave.

Despite being a plague beast, it can't release plagues at any time.

Without a large number of corpses, it would be difficult for a large-scale plague to spread, especially since the sun is extremely hot, which is very unfavorable for the spread of the plague.

To other creatures, the scorching heat brought by the golden crow's passage back then has dissipated.

However, in the perception of the eight-legged Fei Yi, the temperature in this area south of the Juyue Mountains was still higher than before.

In the days when they could not release the plague, they could only stay in the underground cave and sneak up on the creatures that entered the cave to barely survive.

At this moment, the eight-legged fat creature was still unwilling to give up, and it once again began searching around the jungle where the great formation was located.

The blazing fire on Chi Huo Lu Wu's body was like a campfire in the night, leaving more fire energy in the path it passed through.

These things might not have been noticeable when Chi Huo Lu Wu came to the underground cave, since he came quietly.

However, after entering the underground cave and fighting with the monsters, the fire energy on one's body will naturally be released during the fight. If one gets injured or something, a little bit of that energy will naturally leak out on the way back.

That's why it had the chance to ambush Crimson Fire Lu Wu last time. The two chased and fought for millions of miles, but unfortunately Lu Wu still managed to escape in the end.

Unexpectedly, only a few decades later, Chi Huo Lu Wu dared to come to the underground cave again.

When it sensed the commotion and rushed to the jungle outside the cave, it did not see Red Fire Lu Wu.

In the remaining battlefield, the aura of fire seemed even more intense.

This made Fei Yi somewhat suspicious. Could it be that Lu Wu, who was severely injured by it last time, had obtained some kind of opportunity? Otherwise, why did it feel that the residual Crimson Fire aura was even stronger?
This intensified aura made the eight-legged fat relic somewhat uneasy.

It hates the most extreme form of Yang Flame.

The crimson flames on Old Lu Wu's body intensified, making him extremely uncomfortable.

After wandering around for a while, the eight-legged fat man, unable to find any trace of Lu Wu, disappeared into the jungle in despair.

……

"puff!"

Inside the tortoise shell formation, a long, drawn-out sound made Shen Can, who was recovering, open his eyes. He then opened the formation to let in some fresh air.

Red Fire Rikuo's large face, covered with dark golden fur, subconsciously lowered its head.

"This fruit is too cold in nature."

After saying that, Akahō Rikugo looked out from the opening of the great formation. "Feiyi has been here."

Shen Can glanced at Chi Huo Lu Wu, and then heard Chi Huo Lu Wu say, "I have been entangled with it for thousands of years. No matter how deeply its aura is hidden, I can still sense it."

After Shen Can released his divine sense, he sensed corroded leaves in a forest. A strange and faint aura lingered around the corroded leaves.

This location is beyond the range of Chi Huo Lu Wu's divine sense.

They really are old rivals; they can sense this.

"This old thing hides near the cave, specializing in ambushing fifth-order creatures that come and go. Relying on its wings and the ability to spread plague and poisonous mist, it has repeatedly managed to escape unscathed."

Red Fire Lu Wu's eyes were filled with murderous intent; it had suffered quite a bit at the hands of the Fat Relic.

Once the plague enters the body, even if his divine fire wants to expel it, it will require a great deal of effort.

Are there many fifth-tier beings coming to the underground cave?

Shen Can asked Chi Huo Lu Wu.

"I've met two fifth-tier members of the Mujiang clan."

Chi Huo Lu Wu said, "This race is very skilled in wood-related activities. Like plants, they can sprout. Although their lifespan is not as long as that of my wild beasts, it is not much different."

“Your Cloud River Valley should have a fifth-level human. I met him once a few years ago, but I haven’t met him since Fei Yi released the plague in Cloud River Valley. I don’t know if he’s dead or alive.”

"The Piercing Chest Clan has three fifth-level beings, one of whom is in the mid-stage of the fifth level. Back then, Fei Yi went to the True Mountain Domain where the Piercing Chest Clan was located, but he was beaten back before he could do anything."

"There are two fifth-tier earthworms in the Daidi Tulou, and one of them was rumored to have reached its end more than 500 years ago."

At this point, Chi Huo Lu Wu glanced at Shen Can and said, "As you know, lifespan is a thing. People say that when your time is up, no one can really say for sure. Who knows if you're dead or not?"

"In Tianze there is a Xiangliu. Outside the territory of the Juyue Mountains, far to the south there is a great river. It is said that there is a very strong dragon king there, whose strength is unknown."

"Back then, there was a Kui Niu descendant clan in the southern part of Tianze, but it hasn't appeared in the world for a long time. It's unclear whether they have a fifth-order rank."

"Including myself, the snow beast, the Fei Yi, and you, plus those lurking in the wilderness, in the area spanning tens of millions of miles north and south of the Giant Mountain Range, there should be twenty to thirty fifth-order beings, and there should be some sixth-order beings as well, but I don't know about them."

"When I advanced to the fifth rank, I spent over a hundred years traveling all over the north and south of the Giant Mountain in search of a place with abundant source energy, during which I almost died more than ten times."

Besides beings of the same level, there are also some strange places inhabited by many strange creatures. Although there are no fifth-level beings guarding these places, even a fifth-level being would be bound if trapped inside.

Left with no other choice, I had to return, afraid that if I went any further, I would truly be eaten by some unknown creature.

"Beast King, do you still remember the path you've traveled? You can make a map out of it."

"can."

Akahiko Rikugo immediately agreed.

After giving Shen Can the map, Chi Huo Lu Wu's big eyes darted around, and he continued, "I also know the location of a spiritual object, a place that Fei Yi also knows."

It's a pity that no one has been able to get there all these years. Should we try to retrieve it?

Seeing Shen Can looking over, Chi Huo Lu Wu didn't explain.

总不能说它一个兽又菜又爱来，发现了灵物都没有被带走，每一次都被暴揍一顿跑出来？

Shen Can readily agreed.

"This time, let's grab what we can and run; let's not fight the monsters."

Shen Can sensed his restored blood energy and felt that he could still pull off another heist. Besides, with the great formation, he could rest anytime he could escape.

"Let's go, take this magical object, and see if it gets angry."

The man and the beast stealthily slipped back into the cave.

Two days later.

At the entrance to the underground cave, energy roared, and the chilling energy exploded in mid-air like blooming epiphyllum flowers.

Two slightly disheveled figures repeatedly leaped back and forth between the gaps in the exploded Yin Qi flowers.

The energy surged onto his body, only to be completely burned away by the attached yang flames.

Shen Can landed on Chi Huo Lu Wu's back, gripping the Broken Edge Spear, and with each swing, he accurately blocked the attacks coming from behind.

Meanwhile, the crimson flames on Chi Huo Lu Wu's body continuously blasted away the cold, yin energy blocking his path.

Behind them, as many as nine fifth-tier spirits relentlessly pursued them, each time they opened their mouths, they would exhale a vast ocean of yin energy.

The other lower-level spirits, empowered by the Yin energy, charged at the two of them with even greater ferocity, as if they had been injected with beast blood.

The man and the beast, panting heavily, ran out of the jungle and ran for thousands of miles without daring to stop for a moment.

Then, they found a place to set up a witchcraft array and hid themselves.

"Such a big commotion will probably attract the attention of that dark, treacherous creature, Fei Yi."

After hiding in the witch's formation, Lu Wu opened his mouth and continuously emitted yin energy.

The two energies, the most yang and the most yin, crackled and popped in its mouth.

Shen Can was in a similar state, with cold, damp vapor emanating from him, quickly forming a pool of icy water around him.

The broken spear hummed, and a burst of flames completely evaporated the puddle.

Not only did they get a beating after entering the underground cave, but they also failed to bring out the spiritual object that Lu Wu had mentioned.

The main issue is that the actual situation differs somewhat from what Lu Wu had previously known.

It's not too bad; at most, there are twice as many monsters in the vicinity.

The spiritual objects were not the spiritual fruits one might imagine, but rather piles of dark golden bones.

On the golden bone mountain, a broken skull bearing witchcraft floats.

Before Shen Can could even sense the witchcraft on it, the spirit discovered him.

But in that fleeting moment, his consciousness resonated slightly with the witchcraft on the golden skull.

Then, the man and the beast started running, and were chased and beaten all the way out of the cave.

"What exactly are those things? How can there be so many spirits guarding them!"

have no idea."

Chi Huo Lu Wu shook its head. This was also the first time it had seen the bones up close. Before, it knew there was a golden light and felt a powerful aura.

"Let's talk about it another time."

Shen Can looked inward at himself and saw that his meridians were wrapped in a layer of gray ice crystals. His intense blood energy was circulating continuously, beginning to melt these yin ice crystals.

The two of them rested for more than half a year. Fortunately, the yin energy that entered their bodies only floated on the surface of their celestial veins; otherwise, it would have taken some effort to remove it.

After activating the great formation, Chi Huo Lu Wu looked around and wandered around for a while before revealing his surprise.

"Huh, Fei Yi isn't here?"

"Could it be that too many spirits were attracted, scaring this reptile, or did it think it was another powerful fifth-tier creature that entered the cave?"

After having this thought, Akahira Rikugo's mood instantly brightened.

After Shen Can put away the formation, he said, "I need the Beast King to lead the way. I'm going to the Holy Envoy Clan's lair to collect a debt."
