#1971 - Hunter becomes prey
The ancient town of Pingsha is far from the county.
Hua Qi's realm is only the Middle Sky Realm of a Demigod, so his speed naturally cannot compare with Jun Wuxie and Hua Qing and Hua Hu, who are in the True God Realm.
Plus, Hua Qi is also with Big Black Dog.
Although Big Black is not fast, its stamina is amazing, which surprised Jun Wuxie and others.
Only then did they begin to observe Big Black carefully.
They discovered that it was a descendant of some ancient bloodline, most likely a mixed-blood descendant of a Primordial creature, with an impure bloodline.
Because it may not have any cultivation conditions, it is still in the first few realms of the Saint Realm, and its bloodline talent is in a dormant state.
However, although it is a descendant of a Primordial creature, its bloodline is too mixed, which seriously affects its potential.
"You guy, I thought you were just an ordinary dog who knew a little bit of cultivation, but you actually have Primordial bloodline in your body.
It's a pity, your ancestors were indiscriminate in their choice of food, mating too much, which led to your bloodline being too mixed, seriously affecting your potential."
Hua Qi likes this Big Black Dog very much, and thinks it is very humane.
These days, when he is cultivating, Big Black Dog accompanies him quietly every day.
"It's okay, I will find a pure-blooded Primordial creature for you as a Dao companion in the future."
Hua Qi rubbed Big Black Dog's head.
Big Black Dog seemed to understand what he said, its eyes lit up immediately, and saliva flowed from its mouth.
Hua Qi and others were speechless when they saw this lustful dog's eyes light up and drool when it heard about a pure-blooded Dao companion.
"Find a time to give it some Heavenly Dao luck, and cleanse its marrow and tendons by the way."
Jun Wuxie secretly said to Jingya's secondary body with his divine sense.
Jingya's secondary body nodded.
Along the way, they traveled through thousands of mountains and rivers.
They spent more than half a month, and the county seat was still very far away.
However, they almost always traveled on official roads, and everything went smoothly.
Until they passed through a bamboo forest.
The environment here was a little unusual.
The official road passed through the bamboo forest.
It is not known how large this bamboo forest is. The green bamboos inside are verdant, each dozens of meters high, with bamboo nodes as thick as sea bowls.
The ground was covered with fallen leaves. Except for the places where the wheels had rolled over and left traces, the road surface was almost invisible.
Stepping on the bamboo leaves made a slight rustling sound.
The bamboo forest on both sides of the official road was very quiet, without any sound, not even the sound of the wind.
The entire bamboo forest seemed to be in a static state.
"Divine Lord, something seems wrong."
Hua Qing said secretly with his divine sense.
Hua Hu and Hua Qi also noticed the abnormality. They quietly approached Jun Wuxie, but on the surface, their expressions were normal and they continued to move forward.
"Don't panic, I'm here."
Jun Wuxie's divine sense sensed everything within a few miles.
Continuing forward for more than a hundred meters, in the quiet bamboo forest, in the depths on both sides of the official road, the bamboo leaves suddenly swayed slightly.
Such a slight movement was not sensed by Hua Qing, Hua Hu, and Hua Qi.
But Jun Wuxie captured it accurately.
Almost at the same time, a burst of blazing rune light bloomed in the depths of the bamboo forest on both sides.
Sharp killing intent swept over, causing Hua Qing, Hua Hu, and Hua Qi to instantly feel terrified and their bodies turned cold.
Terrifying killing intent had locked onto them.
That dazzling light shuttled from the depths of the bamboo forest on both sides!
Those were crossbow bolts, made of special metal, several meters long, covered with rune divine principles.
Hua Qing, Hua Hu, and Hua Qi's pupils contracted at the same time, and their bodies turned cold in an instant.
The crossbow bolts that were locked onto them and shot at them were too terrifying. Before they even hit them, they felt a huge crisis of death!
The sharp sound of piercing through the air resounded through this bamboo forest. The crossbow bolts instantly shot to the front, about to pierce through them.
"Don't move!"
A golden light bloomed, and Jun Wuxie released a golden blood energy sphere, covering Hua Qing, Hua Hu, Hua Qi, and Jingya's secondary body inside.
Clang!
The crossbow bolt shot on the golden blood energy sphere, bursting out a harsh metallic tremor, splashing a piece of sparks.
Immediately, the crossbow bolt was bounced away, pierced through dozens of green bamboos before stopping, and the runes on the crossbow bolt quickly extinguished.
Immediately afterwards, a sharp sound of piercing through the air sounded.
In the depths of the bamboo forest on both sides, bursts of dazzling light flashed.
All of them were that kind of terrifying crossbow bolt, launching a dense barrage at them.
Under the protection of the golden blood energy sphere, watching the overwhelming crossbow bolts being blocked, Hua Qing, Hua Hu, and Hua Qi still felt terrified.
The killing intent contained in those crossbow bolts was too terrifying.
If they were to deal with them alone, they would be shot and killed in an instant. It would be difficult to dodge, let alone resist!
After several rounds of shooting, there was no more light flashing in the depths of the bamboo forest on both sides.
Obviously, the enemy's number of crossbow bolts was limited.
This kind of crossbow bolt was made of high-grade metal, which was very costly. Failing to kill the target and instead being scattered by the runes, making the crossbow bolt unable to automatically fly back and difficult to recover for reuse, the people controlling the crossbow cart had no more bolts to use.
"It seems that they didn't exaggerate. You can even withstand the crossbow bolts of the Divine Archer Crossbow Cart. You do have some tricks!"
A cold voice came from the depths of the bamboo forest on the right side of the official road.
"Hmm, your defense skills are excellent. I'm very curious, what kind of defensive ancient artifact do you have on your body that allows you to achieve such a degree of defensive strength."
A voice also came from the depths of the bamboo forest on the left side of the official road.
Almost at the same time, two groups of people walked out from the depths of the bamboo forest on both sides.
Their footsteps stepped on the ground, blooming with divine principle runes, and their speed was very fast, as if shrinking the ground to an inch. The distance of a few miles quickly came to the official road, surrounding Jun Wuxie and the others.
"Are you people from the county?"
Hua Qi looked at them. The leaders were two old men with white hair and beards, and the others were middle-aged people.
The clothes they wore all had the same family crest.
Obviously, these were people from the same family, obviously people from the same family, ambushing them here.
"Otherwise? Could it be that those small towns have strong people like us?"
One of the leading old men looked at them with a sneer, "Apricot Blossom Village, I have heard of you.
For generations, you hid in the village to avoid being exterminated by Mang Village, but now you dare to come out to participate in the Heaven-Given Battle competition.
It seems that this person from outside the world is your reliance."
Speaking of this, he looked at Jun Wuxie and said, "I heard that you obtained a God-Rank Three special divine fruit in the Heaven-Given Battle competition. Is this true?"
Jun Wuxie smiled when he heard this, "What, you want it? Are you here to kill and steal treasures?"
"Could it be that we are here to have a heart-to-heart talk with you?
Jun Wuxie, right? The God-Rank Three resource you obtained is destined to be short-lived.
This world is far more cruel than you imagine.
Once the news that you possess a God-Rank Three resource spreads, countless people will come to kill you.
The final outcome is already doomed. You don't need to struggle, struggling is useless.
Instead of benefiting others, it is better to dedicate the God-Rank Three resource to us. As long as you agree to be a battle servant in our family and sign a battle servant soul contract, considering your good talent, we will not only not kill you, but also use resources to cultivate you."
"A group of ignorant things."
These people actually wanted him to be a battle servant.
"You refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!
We gave you a way out, but you don't want it. Then we will kill you and take the Three God-Rank resources ourselves!"
Their eyes were fiery and their hearts were excited.
God-Rank Three resource, ah. With that kind of resource, as long as they keep the news from leaking, their family has the potential to produce a Heavenly God Realm powerhouse within a limited time.
At that time, even if the news spreads to the ears of those dominant forces, they will not be afraid.
To win the world and become one of the overlords, their family has this hope. This is a godsend opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
"It's just relying on a defensive ancient artifact.
We would like to see how long your defensive ancient artifact can continue to release its defensive effect!"
After the two old men finished speaking, they made a gesture.
Immediately, the dozen or so strong men who followed them directly took action, launching a fierce attack on Jun Wuxie and the others from all directions.
These people were all strong men in the Great Sky Realm of the True God, and their strength was much stronger than that of the Middle Sky Realm.
The realm alone was ten times stronger, not to mention that their talent and strength were higher than most of the True God Middle Sky Realm in the ancient town.
Just as they took action, Jun Wuxie suddenly disappeared from the spot, and the golden blood energy sphere protecting Hua Qi and the others also disappeared.
He stepped on the 'Line' Word Formula, and his speed was so fast that the attackers could not see clearly at all.
His figure flashed past the side of every True God Great Sky Realm powerhouse who launched the attack.
In the blink of an eye, his extremely fast shuttling figure stopped, and the bodies of all the attackers instantly froze.
Their eyes widened, filled with horror, and they desperately covered their necks with their hands. Crimson blood spurted out from between their fingers, forming a blood mist.
Their lips trembled, as if they wanted to speak, but they could only make gurgling sounds.
The next moment, more than a dozen heads fell directly from their necks.
"No... Impossible..."
The confident and smug expressions of the two old men just now had completely turned into horror at this time.
Their faces were pale, and they looked at such a scene in horror. Their bodies swayed, and they took a few steps back, their bodies cold and their legs trembling.
"Do you still want to kill me and steal treasures now?"
Jun Wuxie took a step towards the two old men.
Their bodies trembled violently, and they fell to the ground with a thud.
They had never seen such a powerful person in their lives.
He actually killed more than a dozen of their True God Great Sky Realm powerhouses in an instant, causing their strong men to lose their heads!
What kind of strength does it take to do this!
At this moment, they realized that they had kicked a steel plate.
Realizing what was happening, they immediately tried to use secret techniques to send messages to their families, but Jun Wuxie intercepted them and obliterated them on the spot.
"You… who exactly are you? You clearly haven't reached the True God Realm, how can you possess such terrifying strength!
We don't believe it! This must be an illusion! This old man doesn't believe such a person exists in this world…"
They retreated backward, using both their hands and feet, as Jun Wuxie stepped forward. They were terrified, a stark contrast to their previous aggressive confidence.
"Hahahaha, you actually dared to try and deal with my master? You're truly a bunch of fools seeking their own destruction.
Do you know why the people from those forces in Pingsha Ancient Town were able to survive and bring the message to you in the county town?"
"Could it be that you did it on purpose?"
Hearing this, they were both fearful and furious, roaring hysterically: "You actually dared to use us as bait! This is outrageous!"
They were so angry they wanted to vomit blood.
They thought they were the hunters, but in the eyes of others, they were the prey from the very beginning.
"Your families are finished.
There's still some distance to the county town. I'm curious to see which other forces in the county town will jump out. I'll deal with them all together when the time comes."
As Jun Wuxie spoke, he prepared to kill them.
The two old men were so frightened that they scrambled to their feet and ran, looking utterly pathetic, regretting that their parents hadn't given them two extra legs.
However, just as they ran, two golden finger beams pierced through their heads with a *噗* sound.
The two old men's running bodies suddenly stopped. They abruptly turned their heads, blood flowing from their foreheads, their eyes filled with terror and unwillingness. Their lips trembled, and they uttered the word 'You' before collapsing to the ground.
