Brainstorming

"Compared to the Dragon Scorpion Desert, the remaining four areas are not necessarily safer..."

Gu Heng remained calm on the surface.

But his eyelids kept twitching and he had already started brainstorming, so he didn't even pay attention to what Shu Tao said next.

Those little dragon scorpion beasts that were just killed actually had the strength of the Spirit Severing Stage?

But the last time he had someone help test his strength was just... more than three months ago, at the foot of the Ancient Flower Mountains, when he met the old cultivator from the East Frontier Alliance by chance. With his help, Gu Heng had his first understanding of his own strength after becoming a cultivator.

At that time, he was just a Nascent Soul, right?

Naturally, Gu Heng did not doubt whether the old cultivator was deceiving him. After all, he was a serious cultivator and had shown his skills before. So, Gu Heng believed whatever he said. If he said he was a Nascent Soul, then he was a Nascent Soul.

But what is happening now?

There is no doubt that the two sisters Shutao and Shuying definitely had no reason to make fun of him. It must be true that he was chased so badly just now. But it was precisely because of this that Gu Heng had a brainstorming session.

If what she said was true, then the five or six dragon scorpion beasts just now all had the cultivation level of the Spirit Severing Stage...

He was just a "Nascent Soul" cultivator, and he dared to rush into their faces like that. Logically, he should have died instantly!

Although Gu Heng started practicing late, he knew all the basic common sense of practitioners. If a Yuanying stage cultivator rushed against a Spirit Severing stage cultivator, even if a hundred Yuanying stage cultivators were combined, the Spirit Severing stage cultivator would still win.

At most, those in the Spirit Severing Stage would fight until their hands were tired and they might not even have time to catch their breath, but those in the Nascent Soul Stage would literally risk their lives!

So.

Just now, I killed a dragon scorpion beast in the Spirit Severing Stage with one sword. That would definitely not be possible for a Nascent Soul Stage.

No matter how hard you try, you can't do it!

Then there are only two possibilities.

The first is that during the three months when he was slacking off in the deserted city and didn't even try to practice, his strength jumped directly from the Nascent Soul stage to the Spirit Severing stage, which means he increased his strength while being idle.

Or maybe, the result of my first "strength test" was wrong!

I have never been in the Nascent Soul stage, but because of that old cultivator from the East Frontier Alliance, at most, with his ability, he can only measure the strength of the "highest Nascent Soul stage"!

Gu Heng could only come to these two conclusions; any other guesses were basically unreasonable.

Either he became stronger by staying idle for three months, or he had become very strong from the moment he unlocked the "cultivation function"... Or, it is also possible that he had been very strong a long time ago, and the change was not caused in just a few months.

But Gu Heng simply ignored the last conclusion.

I used to live a real mortal life. I had no money and no strength. Whenever I met a foundation-building cultivator, I had to pretend to be humble and fawning. It was so painful just thinking about it.

"...Fellow Daoist Gu, Fellow Daoist Gu?"

Shu Tao pulled Gu Heng's sleeve for a long time before Gu Heng came to his senses.

"Are you okay?"

"Oh, I'm fine, I was just thinking."

Gu Heng's brainstorming session ended.

Conclusion, no matter what, he has become stronger, not to the Nascent Soul stage, nor to the Spirit Sorrow stage, but to the kind of strength that can treat Spirit Sorrow stage monsters as stakes and kill one with one sword!

Above the separation is the fusion!

But Gu Heng felt that it was more than that.Because a few days ago, what he killed were not these young dragon scorpion beasts, but adult dragon scorpion beasts!

Moreover, there is also a particularly huge super giant scorpion, which is similar to the leader of the demon clan and the king of demon beasts.

As a result, he hit it with a flying knife and it died instantly. At that time, Gu Heng thought that these scorpions were good-looking but useless.

But now it seems that it might be because he is too powerful, rather than Scorpion being too useless.

So, the young Dragon Scorpionmon is in the Spiritual Distortion Stage, what is the strength of the adult Dragon Scorpionmon and the giant Scorpion King?

have no idea.

Moreover, Shutao and Shuying seemed to know nothing about this.

According to them, the Holy Dragon Cave is opened once every five thousand years, but they themselves don't know much about it.

Gu Heng was still quite excited, although not as excited as when he first learned that he could practice.

Becoming stronger was expected, but now he still couldn't figure out whether he became stronger by AFK or he was already strong.

But it doesn't matter what.

At least I am not a little Karami like Yuanying.

"Uh...you two sisters, your next plan is to go back to your senior sister's team, right?"

Gu Heng asked.

"Well, that's the only way. We can't survive here with just two people, not to mention hunting monsters and accumulating 'Holy Dragon Blood'."

Shu Tao knew that she had no choice. Neither she nor Shu Ying were strong enough, at least not good enough to be included in this group. If they did not stick together, they would surely die.

"In that case, I'll give you a ride."

Gu Heng decided to send the Buddha to the west.

"How can this be so embarrassing? Fellow Daoist Gu was just passing by, and he could have ignored us two, but now he has to trouble you to carry two useless burdens..."

Shutao looked like a strong and sunny girl, but when she opened her mouth, she made people feel depressed, as if she was having a hard time living.

This kind of personality is mostly caused by some kind of trauma.

"I'm an old acquaintance of your senior sister. If I leave you two alone, it will be very awkward when I meet her next time. So I've decided!"

Gu Heng's tone was firm.

He is so capable, so what's wrong with taking care of his two younger sisters?

There is no rule that prohibits bringing girls.

"...Okay, I'll trouble you then."

It was hard to refuse such a kind offer, and it would be disrespectful to refuse it. He had saved the two sisters in the first place, so Shu Tao couldn't say no at this point.

"Miss Shutao, please lead the way. I am not familiar with this place. You should have something that can sense the main group."

"some."

Shu Tao poured Taoist power into the identity token on her waist and pointed to the northwest.

"That way."
