Chapter 636 - 257: Golden Crow Bow
Not far from the Spirit Fruit, a spirit monster lay on the ground, snoring, with strands of Yin Qi swirling around its mouth and nose, forming a domain hundreds of feet in radius.
Within this domain, no other spirit monsters existed, and the Spirit Fruit Tree happened to be within its Yin Qi domain.
"Which of us will attract the spirit monster?"
Red Fire Luwu looked at Shen Can and asked.
It had tried several times to pick the Spirit Fruit, the most recent attempt getting within a hundred feet of the Spirit Fruit Tree, but it was ultimately discovered.
One could say that trying to pick it quietly was almost impossible.
The Cold Yin Qi domain released by the Tier Five Spirit Monster surrounded the fruit tree, and even the slightest fluctuation in Yin Qi would awaken it.
The simplest strategy was to split up, one to lure away the spirit monster, and the other to seize the opportunity to pick the Spirit Fruit.
Shen Can used his Divine Sense to scrutinize the spirit monster. This creature resembled a lion-tiger hybrid, about seven or eight feet in size.
Its entire body was dark green, with three black spikes on its back. Each of its claws was three feet long, with eerie Witch Runes glimmering faintly on them.
"I’ll lure it away!"
After assessing, Shen Can spoke up, "Remember to pull up the Fruit Tree too."
"We’ll meet outside the Earth Cave."
At this moment, Red Fire Luwu had restrained its aura to the utmost, with the entire beast hidden in the dense forest.
Shen Can quietly moved toward the direction of the valley.
Upon entering the Earth Cave, his Divine Sense was suppressed by ten percent, but the remaining thirteen thousand feet still allowed him to clearly perceive everything inside and outside the low valley.
Indeed, there was only this one Tier Five Spirit Monster nearby, but during his journey, Shen Can also noticed that this spirit monster was swift, not inferior to those of the same tier among the Holy Envoy Race.
In the valley, the spirit monsters lying on the ground were mostly Tier Four, numbering over twenty, with dense, lower-tier ones sticking to the ground as if absorbing the power of the earth.
The closer he got to the Tier Five Spirit Monster in the valley, the more biting the cold became.
As he approached the Cold Yin Qi domain of the Tier Five Spirit Monster, Shen Can swiped his palm, unleashing the Profound Qilin Palm, sending a Five-Colored Qilin charging towards the spirit monster.
The moment the palm imprint appeared, piercing noises erupted from the frigid air in all directions, instantly awakening the spirit monster snoozing on the ground.
The Yin Qi within several hundred feet erupted instantly, and the spirit monster’s dark red eyes turned ferocious and cold, staring intently at Shen Can.
Roar!
The spirit monster let out an angry roar, and an overwhelming force of extreme cold surged forward, conjuring sheets of gray ice out of nowhere as the ground rapidly froze.
By now, Shen Can was already flying out of the valley.
He couldn’t engage the battle directly in the valley; otherwise, the Spirit Fruit could easily get damaged.
Seeing Shen Can fleeing, the spirit monster emitted a wail, its massive body soaring, spewing cold breath as it rapidly pursued Shen Can.
Shen Can fled swiftly, intending to lure the spirit monster out of the Earth Cave before making plans.
However, this move alarmed all the spirit monsters in the surrounding forest.
These spirit monsters, though mostly Tier One or Two, were numerous, rushing towards him like phantoms with strands of Yin Qi.
In his hand, Shen Can formed an imaginary grip, and the Breaking Spear manifested in his hand.
The spear moved effortlessly, the Golden Crow Red Flame dancing on it, countless Golden Crow Witch Runes sweeping over all directions.
Wherever it passed, no matter if they were unranked spirit monsters or Tier Three, or even Tier Four spirit monsters, they were all reduced to ashes under the Red Flame.
In the blink of an eye, the spirit monsters within a radius of a thousand feet were cleared away, and the scorching heat and Yin Qi clashed continuously, making a sound of irreconcilable conflict.
At the same time, the vacuum area formed by vanquished spirit monsters within a thousand feet was quickly occupied again by new ones pouring in from all directions.
In the dim, cold realm, countless ghostly lights rushed in from all around, too many to count.
The Breaking Spear in Shen Can’s hand was like a sun in this dark land, attracting countless spirit monster gazes.
A horde of cold, dark spirit monsters chased after the scorching sun, like moths to a flame.
No wonder Red Fire Luwu got into a fight when it came in. The Luwu Divine Flame was Supreme Yang, and once discovered, it too became a target chased by countless spirit monsters.
These rushing spirit monsters, though weak, could indeed slow down the pace a bit.
At this moment, the Tier Five Spirit Monster behind was just about to catch up.
Woo!
The eyes of the Tier Five Spirit Monster showed bloodlust and cruelty, its sharp claws reaching out with extreme cold to grab at a distance.
As Shen Can fled, he turned around, thrusting the spear backward.
The Red Fire on the Breaking Spear turned into a stream of light, rushing straight toward the Tier Five Spirit Monster.
The scorching heat dispersed the Yin cold, shattering the condensed Yin cold claws, landing on the spirit monster’s body.
With a squelch, the spear light punctured one bloody hole after another in the spirit monster, but immediately an even colder aura surged out of the wounds, freezing the spear light into solidity.
Roar!
As the seemingly Divine Gold-like tough flesh was wounded, the pained spirit monster roared in fury, its body emitting a sound like whistling thunder.
Along with the Thunder Sound, the tangible cold breath exhaled by the spirit monster quickly evolved into densely packed Witch Runes, rapidly coalescing into a vague phantom.
Just when the phantom was about to take form, the surrounding cold qi surged several times, with a trend of continuing to rise.
At this moment, roars came from the distant dim realm, sounding like thunder, vibrating the Yin cold air from afar.
Yet another Tier Five Spirit Monster.
Hmm?
Shen Can’s Divine Sense scanned over thirteen thousand feet around, but he hadn’t detected the appearance of this Tier Five Spirit Monster.
In an instant, a series of beast shadows emerged around him, exuding an imposing aura, with the Divine Forms of Kui Ox and Luwu particularly vivid.
