Chapter 101: Lingxi Horn
The two men were so shocked that they subconsciously slowed their escape, and were quickly overtaken by the leading pedigree horse, which then rammed their hindquarters from the left and right, causing them to scream in pain.
"Ouch! It hurts so much!"
"Ouch! My butt!!!"
The two of them groaned and clutched their buttocks, then angrily pulled out their most treasured magical weapons and hurled them at each other, not caring about anything else.
With a few loud "boom" explosions, the triangular horse was blasted away and fell to the ground, becoming a fragrant, burnt piece of horse meat.
But before they could continue running, a large herd of dwarf horses caught up from behind, forming a large circle that blocked their escape route, and then glared at them fiercely with their red eyes.
Despite being demonic beasts, the triangular horses still possessed a tiny bit of intelligence. They were wary of the two cultivators and their other magical artifacts, so instead of immediately charging forward to kill them, they slowly approached, probing their strength. The sharp horns on their heads gleamed coldly in the sunlight, making the two cultivators uneasy.
They've reached a dead end! Their spirit sword is broken, their spiritual weapons are exhausted, and their spiritual energy is depleted! What can they do? Are they really going to die here?!
Just then, one of the long-faced cultivators suddenly remembered how leisurely Su Luo and the other three had looked just now, and hope rekindled in his eyes.
These people must be quite capable to be able to protect themselves from the angry triceratops!
He immediately looked at Su Luo and the others, and shouted for help at the top of his lungs: "Please, help us!"
The round-faced cultivator beside him also cried out for help: "Please, save us! Help us!"
The group remained unmoved, and Chu Wenqing was even more disgusted by it, "You just deliberately lured the triceps here to harm us, and now you want us to save your lives? How dare you!"
"Please! We didn't mean to, we were just too strong against these monsters! If you save us, we will definitely repay you!"
"Yes, yes, yes! We will definitely repay your life-saving grace after we get out!"
"What do you want? You can repay me after you get out."
Su Luo suddenly spoke, but what she said was puzzling: "You can repay us now. I think you two must have something that would make us take action."
The two cultivators' expressions stiffened slightly.
Did this girl discover something?!
Chu Wenqing asked in confusion, "Su Luo, what do they have...?"
He was interrupted by Feng Xiyue before he could finish speaking. She glared at him and said, "Shut up! Su Luo has her reasons for doing things! What are you doing interrupting?"
Chu Wenqing said "Oh" and quickly shut her mouth, completely ignoring Feng Xiyue's words.
Song Qiao: ...
He didn't understand why these two senior brothers and sisters trusted Su Luo so blindly.
The two cultivators' hearts jumped as the triangular horse drew closer and closer. They hurriedly said, "We...we don't understand what you're saying...could you please save us first before we discuss anything else?"
"Saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda! Please lend us your help, and we will repay you with our lives. We can swear an oath! We have absolutely nothing left to give!"
Su Luo had already guessed that they would say that, and smiled.
"Hey, do you have to play dumb? Triangular horses are usually docile and don't like to fight. Although they have a strong sense of territory and don't like to be disturbed, they won't let anyone cause trouble in their territory. The fact that you two have provoked so many triangular horses to get angry and chase you for so long is enough to show that you must have done something to offend them. So how did you offend them?"
The two men's expressions changed drastically.
"I suspect there are only two possibilities: either you foolishly stole or killed the calf of the Triangular Horse, or you took some treasure after entering the Triangular Horse's territory. Am I right?"
"..."
Su Luo spoke eloquently, and Chu Wenqing and the other two suddenly understood, while the two cultivators felt their hearts sink.
Because she was right! They did indeed stumble upon the habitat of the triceratops by chance, and even found five rare rhinoceros horns there.
The Spirit Rhinoceros Horn is a particularly valuable spiritual plant. Its petals and green leaves are not only materials for making the Everlasting Elixir, but the horn-shaped part that is revealed after the petals open can also be made into a treasure to carry with you, which can increase the spiritual power and spiritual awareness of cultivators several times and accelerate the cultivation speed!
Such spiritual plants were naturally highly sought after by cultivators, which directly led to the extinction of the Spirit Rhinoceros Horn. For a thousand years, no one on the Azure Continent had seen a Spirit Rhinoceros Horn, so its value is self-evident!
They were ecstatic, thinking they were about to make a fortune, and didn't care about anything else, so they pulled them all out. But they didn't expect that pulling them out would attract the attention of those triangular horses, and they all chased after them like madmen.
Not only were they in dire straits, but their plan had also been figured out! Clearly, the other party wanted the spirit rhinoceros horn, but it was a spirit rhinoceros horn! How could they bear to give it away?!
Su Luo could see their reluctance, and scoffed sarcastically, "So, you two caused trouble and couldn't handle so many triangular horses, not only selfishly tricking us once, but now you want us to help you without giving anything in return? There's no such thing as a free lunch."
The long-faced monk roared, "So you're just going to watch us get killed?!"
The round-faced monk also glared angrily.
Chu Wenqing added, "Otherwise what? Survival of the fittest. Isn't that always the case in the cultivation world? You just tricked us, and we've already been merciful by not seeking revenge. You expect us to help you for free? We're not stupid!"
"you!"
The two men were furious, but they had no chance to waste any more words, because the horned horses couldn't wait any longer and pounced on them with their heads down. The two men screamed in fright and climbed up the big tree behind them like monkeys, hugging it and trembling.
The horns didn't hit anyone with their pounce; instead, they rammed the large tree with their horns, causing the leaves to fall heavily.
Because they carried the scent of rhinoceros horns, the horned horses refused to give up, circling the tree and occasionally ramming it with their horns, making the tree sway more and more.
The round-faced cultivator clung desperately to the tree, refusing to fall, tears welling in his eyes. "Brother, what should we do?"
The long-faced cultivator's face was deathly pale. He looked at the herd of horned horses below, knowing this couldn't go on. The tree was bound to fall sooner or later, and the moment it did, he and his brother would be crushed to death by its horns…
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder. He looked towards Su Luo for help, but he never expected that those people would sit on the ground, watching them make a scene and eating!
The long-faced cultivator was so angry he almost spat out blood. "You! You've gone too far! You actually stood by and watched someone die!"
Adhering to the principle of infuriating people without holding back, Chu Wenqing held a large chicken leg, took a deep breath, and exaggeratedly exclaimed, "It smells so good!"
Feng Xiyue's lips twitched; this junior brother really deserved a beating...
Despite her inner complaints, she didn't stop eating, afraid that if she ate too slowly there wouldn't be any left.
Song Qiao ate with his eyes narrowed to slits, not saying a word.
Su Luo spread her hands, "There's nothing we can do... Since you won't give us what we want, we'll just have to let you die."
"you!"
Before the long-faced monk could say anything more, the large tree they were hugging began to shake even more, showing signs of collapsing!
"Brother! Brother! What do we do?!"
Faced with a life-or-death situation, the long-faced cultivator gritted his teeth and ultimately gave in.
"Alright, I agree! As long as you're willing to save us, we're willing to give you half of the spiritual plants we've obtained!"
Su Luo smiled without saying a word.
Seeing that she wasn't taking the bait, the long-faced cultivator gritted his teeth and took another step back, "Then... just leave one for us brothers, and you can have the rest!"
Su Luo: "It's not enough."
"Don't push your luck!"
Just then, the tree creaked and groaned as it was hit, finally tilting downwards. The horns below were all poised, eager to fall.
"Ahhh!" the round-faced cultivator screamed in terror, tears streaming down his face. "Brother! Brother!"
The long-faced cultivator had no choice but to compromise, closing his eyes and saying, "As long as you can save us, we'll agree to anything! I swear on my inner demons!"
As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn! Life is the most important thing!
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, a talisman floated over and stuck to the tree, and instantly a domineering and pungent smell wafted out.
The two cultivators' faces immediately turned green, then they bowed their heads and vomited violently, "Ugh!"
"Ugh!"
The fumes made everyone vomit, and the horned horses, with their keen senses, were so irritated that their eyes rolled back, they foamed at the mouth, and then one after another collapsed with a thud.
