Chapter 387 Waiting for the rabbit
The mountain wind howled and the branches and leaves in the forest rustled, as if foreshadowing the coming of a storm.
Boss Pig was forced into a desperate situation, and his heavy breathing was particularly clear in the silent mountain.
He stared at Gu Yang intently, and the fear in his small eyes was gradually replaced by madness.
It could see that the two humans before it had no intention of letting it leave alive. Since it was going to die anyway...
"Since you refuse to tell me, then you'd better not live." Gu Yang said coldly, and a cold spiritual power condensed at his fingertips.
Boss Pig suddenly grinned, the fat on his face twisted with ferocity. He slapped his chest hard, and the Nascent Soul in his body suddenly burned, and the violent spiritual power swept through his body like a raging fire.
His skin cracked and blood oozed out, but he still stared at Gu Yang and Hu Qing, his voice hoarse like a devil:
"Even if I die... you won't have an easy life! Lord Beast King... won't let you go!"
"Oh no! He's going to self-destruct!" Hu Qing's pupils shrank, and he reacted extremely quickly. With a wave of his sleeves, a white spiritual light shield instantly unfolded, covering the two men and the dragon.
boom--! ! !
A deafening explosion resounded through the sky, and the entire mountain collapsed instantly under the impact of the violent spiritual power, with debris flying everywhere.
Smoke and dust rose into the sky, and a huge mushroom cloud slowly rose, covering the sky and the sun.
The terrifying shock wave swept across the surroundings, and the trees within a hundred feet were instantly turned into dust, and the ground cracked, as if the end of the world had come.
Inside the light shield, Gu Yang's face turned pale and his heart was beating wildly. At that moment, he almost thought he was going to die here.
Hu Qing's face was solemn, and the spiritual energy in his body was consumed madly to maintain the stability of the light shield.
Xiao Zi growled angrily, slapping the ground with his dragon tail anxiously, obviously extremely dissatisfied with Boss Pig's behavior of destroying all the treasures before his death.
The smoke and dust gradually dissipated, and the original mountain had disappeared, replaced by a huge deep pit.
Hu Qing removed the light shield, his face looked slightly pale, and it was obvious that he had consumed a lot of energy.
He took a deep breath, calmed the spiritual energy surging in his body, and said in a deep voice: "This pig man is really cruel. He would rather self-destruct than reveal any information."
Gu Yang looked at the ruins in front of him and sighed, "What a pity! I was hoping to pry something out of him."
Xiao Zi growled, his golden vertical pupils filled with anger, obviously still brooding over Pig Boss's self-explosion before his death.
It had originally hoped to find some treasures, but now all its hopes were dashed.
Hu Qing pondered for a moment, his eyes sweeping towards the distant mountains and forests, and he said calmly, "Since the clues are gone, we can only wait and see."
"Waiting for the rabbit by the tree?" Gu Yang was stunned. "You mean...ambush that palace elder?"
Hu Qing nodded: "That's right. Since they need human flesh and blood, someone will definitely come. We just need to set up an ambush nearby, and maybe we can get something."
Gu Yang frowned, "But according to Boss Zhu, these elders are at least at the Dust Breaking Stage or above. If we act rashly, the risk is too great."
Hu Qing raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a cold smile: "Don't worry, I won't act rashly. If the other party's strength far exceeds ours, we will retreat immediately."
Hearing him say this, Gu Yang breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to let his impulse lead to the annihilation of the three of them.
"Let's go, find a secluded place to rest first, and then make plans."
After Hu Qing finished speaking, he flashed and flew towards the dense forest in the distance.
Gu Yang and Xiao Zi looked at each other and quickly followed.
………………
As the night deepened, the mountains were shrouded in fog and the moonlight was obscured by thick clouds, leaving only a few scattered dim stars.
Hu Qing and Gu Yang hid in a natural cave halfway up the mountain. The entrance of the cave was covered by dense vines and it would be difficult to find them without careful exploration.
Inside the cave, Hu Qing sat cross-legged, holding an ordinary standard long sword in his hand. The sword was dull and not even the lowest-level spiritual weapon.
He closed his eyes and concentrated, replaying the key to the first move of "Jiuxiao Jinghong Sword" "Pointing the Star" in his mind over and over again - a cold light condensed at the tip of the sword, as fast as a meteor, and a fatal blow.
"The opening move is so difficult, it's worthy of being the inheritance of Senior Sword God..." Hu Qing sighed in his heart.
He tried to circulate his spiritual power, trying to condense a hint of cold light on the tip of the sword, but every time the spiritual power flowed to the tip of the sword, it disappeared without a trace like a drop in the ocean.
"It still doesn't work." He opened his eyes and frowned slightly.
Gu Yang sat aside, playing with a piece of spiritual ore he had snatched from the Orc Tribe. Seeing Hu Qing's repeated failures, he couldn't help but laugh:
"Your swordsmanship is too mysterious. Even the opening move is so difficult to practice?"
Hu Qing glanced at him and said calmly, "If it were easy, would it be my turn to learn it?"
Gu Yang shrugged and said no more.
Although he did not understand swordsmanship, he knew that what Hu Qing practiced was definitely not an ordinary skill and it must be difficult. After all, it was the swordsmanship created by the Sword God, and it was also the other party's famous skill.
Just then, a rustling sound came from outside the cave, and then a purple shadow rushed in. It was Xiao Zi.
It held a magical herb with a bright blue light in its mouth. It flicked its tail and proudly threw the magical herb in front of Gu Yang.
"Robbery again?" Gu Yang picked up the spiritual grass and felt the rich spiritual power contained in it. He couldn't help but click his tongue, "These orcs really have hidden a lot of good things."
Xiao Zi raised his head and made a low gurgling sound in his throat, as if showing off his trophy.
Hu Qing glanced at the spiritual herbs and said calmly, "Don't be too ostentatious. If you attract powerful orcs, we will be in trouble."
Xiao Zi curled her lips, obviously not taking his words to heart.
In the past few days, it has been looting orc tribes everywhere and reaping rich rewards. It has already tasted the sweetness, so how could it be willing to stop?
Seeing this, Hu Qing said no more and continued to focus on practicing swordsmanship.
He took a deep breath and tried to focus his sword energy again. This time, he slowed the flow of his spiritual energy, allowing every bit of it to converge precisely on the tip of the sword.
"Concentrate!" He shouted softly, and the tip of the sword suddenly lit up with a faint cold light. Although it was as small as a firefly, it really existed!
"It's done!" A hint of joy flashed in Hu Qing's eyes.
However, before he could be happy for long, the cold light flickered like a candle in the wind, and then went out completely.
"It's still a little short..." He shook his head, but he felt more confident.
At least, he has touched the threshold.
Seeing this, Gu Yang patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Take your time, we have plenty of time anyway."
Hu Qing nodded and was about to continue practicing when his expression suddenly froze and he looked up abruptly outside the cave.
"Someone is coming." he whispered.
Gu Yang and Xiao Zi immediately became alert, restrained their breathing, and held their breath. After waiting for so long, is it finally coming?
A moment later, a slight sound of footsteps was heard in the distant mountains and forests. It seemed that there was more than one person.
