An Unforeseen Disaster

Chapter 38

After parting ways with Wang Xuan, there was no further contact between them, and Li Changmeng didn't immediately activate the spell.

During this period, Li Changmeng didn't stay in the Qingmiao Sect. Instead, he went to the Black Deer Mountain.

As a guest elder of the sect, he had ten days each month to leave the sect at his own discretion.

The Black Deer Mountain stretched for thousands of miles. It took Li Changmeng three days just to travel from the Qingmiao Sect to the Black Deer Mountain.

If he wanted to return within the agreed - upon time, he only had four or five days left to hunt monsters.

Even in a place with a large number of monsters, it was not easy to find second - order monsters.

Li Changmeng searched in the Black Deer Mountain for three days and only caught a few first - order monsters, which he could easily subdue with a single Soul - Driving Spell.

With their flesh, blood, and fur intact, he earned more than twenty spirit stones. The efficiency was quite high.

However, he was quite disappointed that he hadn't seen any second - order monsters.

"It seems I have to go back like this. Making this round - trip is not as good as planting some spiritual plants in the spiritual fields. Second - grade spiritual plants, and learning a few common spells. I reckon I could earn a few hundred spirit stones in a year."

After some calculations in his mind, he found that if he couldn't get any second - order monsters, it would be better to plant spiritual plants in the cave dwelling.

Carrying his catch for the day, a purple - furred marten, Li Changmeng decided to return to the sect today.

Just then, a figure rushed over.

"Sorry, fellow Daoist!"

The person left this sentence and threw something at Li Changmeng, then immediately ran behind him.

Before Li Changmeng could react, a half - human - tall ape - like monster rushed over, baring its teeth.

Judging from its aura, it was a second - order monster!

The female cultivator just now had the intention of shifting the disaster onto him.

And the thing she threw landed right at Li Changmeng's feet, a huge egg as big as a buttocks.

There were golden patterns on it, and it seemed to be absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

"Shifting the disaster onto me? In my opinion, it's like a gift sent to my door!"

He was just worried about not finding a second - order monster, and now this monkey monster had come at the right time.

The monkey glanced at the egg at Li Changmeng's feet, let out a roar, and rushed over with its claws flailing.

Monsters naturally absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and moon. Different from many spells used by cultivators, they had extremely powerful physiques.

Some monsters with powerful bloodlines even had innate spells and were extremely powerful.

The monkey monster Li Changmeng was facing was obviously an ordinary one. As it rushed over at high speed, it only brought up a gust of wind.

"Three - Lives Body - Protection Spell!"

Li Changmeng cast the spell and at the same time revealed his true form.

Suddenly, golden light shone brightly, and a monster that looked even more terrifying than the monkey monster appeared.

The monkey monster was shocked by the sight in front of it. Its small brain couldn't understand why the human in front of it had suddenly turned into this appearance.

A tentacle split from behind Li Changmeng and whipped towards the monkey monster.

However, the monkey monster reacted very quickly. The tentacle slammed hard on the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

The monkey monster bared its teeth. Even though it didn't know what the other thing was, its monster instincts made it pounce forward.

Li Changmeng stood still on the spot. Several tentacles split from behind him, preventing the monkey monster from getting close.

Facing the siege of the tentacles, the monkey monster opened its five fingers, revealing sharp claws. With a wave, the tentacles fell to the ground.

"Five - Spirit Wound - Healing Spell!" "Soul - Driving Spell!"

Apart from the tentacles attacking the monkey monster, several other tentacles on the periphery continuously cast spells.

The severed ends of the scratched tentacles quickly grew back.

The Soul - Driving Spell continuously hindered the monkey monster's movements.

As a first - grade spell, it was a bit ineffective against a monster of the same level. However, since monsters had weaker souls, it could always make the monkey monster's movements stagnate for one or two breaths each time.

Then the tentacles would launch a crazy attack, lashing the monkey monster until it was covered in blood.

It could be said that this monkey monster had already lost and would only be consumed endlessly.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, an eye grew on Li Changmeng's back, and a beam of golden light swept over there.

A female cultivator was hiding behind a tree, peeping furtively.

It was the woman who had shifted the disaster onto him.

Not only did she shift the disaster, but now she also wanted to reap the benefits without doing any work?

Li Changmeng wouldn't tolerate her. He immediately cast the Incense - Transforming Spirit Spell at her.

"What kind of monster are you!"

Seeing that Li Changmeng had discovered her, the woman jumped out directly.

Zhao Wenyue had originally planned to steal two monster eggs and leave, but unexpectedly, she had been chased by the monkey monster for a long time.

On her way to escape, she met a "kind - hearted person" who could help her withstand the monkey monster.

However, after running for a while... Zhao Wenyue felt a twinge of conscience.

Actually, she had something on her that could deal with the monkey monster.

After some thought, she decided to go back and save the cultivator.

Even though the monkey monster was at the middle stage of the second - order, monsters were usually weaker than cultivators of the same level, so the cultivator should be able to hold on for that long.

Unexpectedly, there was no fellow Daoist there. Instead, there were two monsters fighting each other. Moreover, the hideous - looking monster seemed to have a powerful bloodline and could cast spells.

And she had been discovered by it.

Zhao Wenyue dodged the spell just in time.

"Humph, since that's the case, I assume that kind - hearted fellow Daoist has already met with misfortune. Then you two monsters should go and accompany him in death."

Zhao Wenyue looked pained as she took out a talisman. The moment it appeared, Li Changmeng felt a trace of the pressure of a Core - Formation cultivator.

This trace of pressure was very faint and was not enough to affect Li Changmeng. However, it also indicated the origin of this talisman - a Core - Formation - stage cultivator.

A huge sense of crisis hit him.

If you have such a powerful talisman, why were you being chased by a little monkey monster?

This was just crazy!

However, it was too late to say these things now. What he should think about now was how to survive the attack of this talisman.

"At this moment, I can only..."

Looking at the female cultivator, Li Changmeng quickly made a decision in his heart. He used his tentacles to tie up the monkey monster and threw it to the other side.

Zhao Wenyue's hand that was activating the talisman paused for a moment, and her attention was distracted by the monkey monster for an instant.

Li Changmeng seized this opportunity and rushed in front of Zhao Wenyue at the fastest speed. The tentacles behind him tightly wrapped around her.

Spell - Incense - Transforming Spirit Spell!

"Let me go! You dirty monster. How disgusting!"

Zhao Wenyue struggled desperately, but Li Changmeng remained unmoved. He had almost been killed by that talisman just now.

Fortunately, at the beginning, he had obtained information through his Hundred - Eyes Supernatural Power.

[Zhao Wenyue] [Greedy for Wealth] [Not Good at Fighting]

Because she was not good at fighting, Li Changmeng dared to use the monkey monster to distract her attention.

The Incense - Transforming Spirit Spell took effect on Zhao Wenyue, creating a connection between the two of them. Relying on this connection, Li Changmeng could transfer the power of incense wishes to Zhao Wenyue.

"Just in time, I'll see what will happen to a cultivator under this spell."

The power of incense wishes surged towards Zhao Wenyue.

An inexplicable aura came over, and Zhao Wenyue showed a pained expression. It seemed that something was stirring under her fair skin.

Just then, a white light flashed, and Zhao Wenyue disappeared from the spot.

"A teleportation - type magical tool?"

Li Changmeng didn't dare to stay in place and immediately fled.

Obviously, just now, the life - saving magical tool on Zhao Wenyue had been triggered. It was obvious that she had a powerful background.

If he didn't leave quickly, he would be in big trouble if she found him.

Before leaving, Li Changmeng directly killed the monkey monster and also took the monster egg with him.

Not long after Li Changmeng left, a figure appeared.

"Who is it! How dare you hurt my daughter, Zhao Jianming!"

The pressure of a Core - Formation cultivator spread wantonly, and the divine sense continuously scanned the surroundings, but there was no sign of anyone.

At this time, Li Changmeng had already left the Black Deer Mountain far behind and had restored his human appearance. He didn't even have time to process the monster materials.

Even if there was only a one - in - ten - thousand chance of attracting a Core - Formation cultivator, Li Changmeng didn't dare to stay for a moment longer.

He would deal with these materials after returning to the sect.
