Chapter 133 The Gray Beast
A fiery red figure appeared about forty or fifty feet away from her.
At this moment, the fiery red figure, adorned with an intricate and magnificent set of fiery red horns, stepped out from the nearby firethorn forest, its feet treading on flames.
Soon it stood by the clear stream, lowered its head, and stuck out its tongue to lick the water.
Crimson Flame Deer?
Cui Ying whispered something, then immediately stopped breathing and extinguished the fire.
The crimson deer that appeared before her had a huge antler on its head with seven or eight forks. It was a large deer and should be a male spirit deer at the seventh level of Qi Refining.
As for why this Crimson Flame Deer appeared here, Cui Ying looked at the babbling brook at her feet and instantly understood.
Just then, with the appearance of the Crimson Deer, a rustling sound came from the firethorn forest behind them.
Under Cui Ying's watchful gaze, several more Crimson Flame Deer of varying sizes emerged, their antlers swaying as they looked around. They stood beside the Crimson Flame Deer at the seventh level of Qi Refining, licking water to quench their thirst.
"It's truly a blessing from the gods; it came to us without any effort at all."
Cui Ying sighed softly, and without caring about the spirit fish that was about to be roasted, she and Ta Xue and Jin Xie moved in a few flashes and silently surrounded the group of Crimson Flame Deer. With a wave of her hand, silver-white sword energy shot out towards the Crimson Flame Deer with the highest cultivation level.
"Boom boom"
"Boom boom"
Half an hour later, after several bursts of silver and red spiritual energy, the corpses of two Qi Refining Level 4 Crimson Flame Deer lay on the bank of the stream. The Qi Refining Level 7 Crimson Flame Deer, covered in wounds and panting heavily, was still confronting Cui Ying.
Not far away, the golden scorpion's purple aura surged violently, and its golden tail hook stood upright; while Ta Xue transformed into a black shadow, staring intently at its opponent.
Although both are at the seventh level of Qi Refining, this Crimson Flame Deer is far stronger than the previous one.
If it weren't for the Snowwalker and Golden Scorpion holding it back, it probably would have escaped long ago.
Even so, she fought him for a long time using all sorts of methods.
Unfortunately, if that fine, fiery red deer hide were taken to a robe shop, it would probably cost nearly half a spirit stone.
"Yo ah"
Just then, the Crimson Flame Deer let out a low roar, and its two strong and powerful legs slammed hard into the ground, immediately unleashing a ring of crimson energy from beneath its feet.
In an instant, the ground shook violently, catching Cui Ying off guard and causing her to stumble.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Crimson Flame Deer stomped its feet on the ground and charged towards Cui Ying like a burning fireball.
Before they even got close, a suffocating heatwave swept over them with astonishing force.
But Cui Ying, faced with this situation, did not dodge or avoid it. Instead, she simply flicked her sleeve, and a silver-white sword aura shot out from her body.
"puff"
The Crimson Flame Deer's massive body trembled, and it darted past Cui Ying with its head tilted, running dozens of feet before crashing heavily to the ground, unable to move.
"call"
Just as Cui Ying breathed a sigh of relief and Ta Xue and Jin Xie chased after them, a dark gray beast suddenly sprang out of the bushes ahead.
The monster resembled a leopard and a cat, covered in long fur and scales, with sharp fangs in its mouth. Its body was covered in a grayish aura, and its movements, though seemingly slow, were actually as fast as lightning.
Strangely, both Ta Xue and Jin Xie avoided the approaching monster as if it were a formidable enemy, not daring to let it get close at all.
"It's that gray lemur from before."
Cui Ying frowned slightly, never expecting that she would one day be the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
Just as the gray leopard had reached the Crimson Flame Deer and jumped onto its corpse, swaggering down to tear at it, the golden scorpion couldn't help but launch an attack.
Without the gray beast making any move, a gray blade of energy flew out. The golden scorpion was a little too slow to dodge, and although the blade of energy was still several feet away, a muffled "hiss" sound was heard. Immediately, the golden scorpion was sent flying several feet away as if it had been severely injured, and a deep bloodstain appeared on its back.
"court death."
But at that moment, Cui Ying let out a low shout, flicked her wrist, and the Yao Guang sword flashed with silver light. Suddenly, a silver sword aura half a zhang long appeared and slashed towards the gray beast with lightning speed.
"puff"
This time, it was the gray leopard that was sent flying backward and crashed into a huge rock. Most of the scales on its belly and back were shattered by the single slash, but the chilling sword energy was still embedded in them.
The gray leopard let out a low growl, then turned its head and opened its mouth full of fangs, biting the almost transparent sword energy into pieces. The wound was filled with gray energy and began to heal rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
But just then, a series of hissing sounds suddenly rang out nearby, and more than a dozen golden lines flashed by, instantly piercing through various parts of the gray lion beast's body.
Immediately afterwards, a flash of purple light appeared in the sky, and a huge tail hook descended from the heavens, swaying before firmly embedding itself in the skull of the gray monstrous beast.
Immediately, a stream of dark, purulent blood spread like ink, and a purple aura rolled out from the nearby grass, whereupon the golden scorpion slowly crawled out.
But the gray leopard's eyes blazed with rage. It raised its right forelimb and grabbed the golden scorpion's tail hook on its head. With what seemed like an ordinary exertion, it pulled the golden scorpion off the ground like pulling up a radish, and then with a violent shake, it made the scorpion dizzy.
All of this seems complicated, but it actually happens in the blink of an eye.
Seeing that the golden scorpion had been captured, Ta Xue, who was standing next to him, suddenly had a surge of black energy. Instantly, several thick black ropes shot out from a distance, and after a flash and a spiral, they bound the gray lion beast tightly.
Meanwhile, in the distance, Cui Ying was chanting incantations, her hands rapidly forming hand seals in front of her chest before she channeled all her magical power into the short sword in front of her.
After a burst of silver-white light, the Yao Guang Sword unleashed seven or eight thick silver sword energies at the gray beast in front of it with a few "whoosh" sounds.
Moreover, these silver sword energies, though initially vague, connected and transformed into a silver full moon.
Seeing this, the gray leopard in the distance seemed to know that something was wrong. After letting out a roar, its arms, which flashed with gray light, suddenly yanked open, and the black ropes on its body began to crack open inch by inch with a "sizzle".
Just as the gray beast was about to struggle free, Cui Ying stopped chanting, and the silver moon immediately shot out, transforming into a vast expanse of silver light that completely engulfed the gray beast.
A deafening roar followed as the silver moon descended, causing the entire ground to tremble.
Faced with this scene, Cui Ying did not relax at all; instead, she stared intently at the huge chasm she had carved out.
Sure enough, after scanning her surroundings a few times, she immediately saw an inconspicuous gray figure suddenly dart out.
Just as Cui Ying was about to make her move, the gray shadow transformed into three afterimages, each running in a different direction for a distance before disappearing into the nearby dense forest.
Cui Ying waited a while longer and found that there was no trace of the gray leopard beast in the vicinity. If it weren't for her nearly depleted dantian, the injured golden scorpion, and the huge ravine reminding her, it would have seemed like an illusion.
After confirming that the Golden Scorpion's injuries were not serious, Cui Ying then remembered her grilled spirit fish.
But after such a long delay, the spirit fish she had grilled had long since turned into a pile of charcoal and was no longer edible.
Fortunately, she wasn't very hungry. To avoid any further complications, she quickly adjusted her breathing to recover some of her mana and began to dismantle the three Crimson Flame Deer.
