Cultivating Loser’s Counterattack - C83 Create a Chance to be Alone
As the group rode on the tiger-sky Flying-artifact through the forest, the Demonic Beast’s roars rose and fell one after another. Gu Qing did not doubt that there was no chance for her to survive after falling down. After all, she only had the strength of Middle Period of Foundation Stage, and if there were thousands or even tens of thousands of Demonic Beast down in the forest, her levels were all different.
At that place, a man wearing a crown was standing with his hands behind his back. Although there were no wrinkles on his face, his eyes were filled with the vicissitudes of time, so this should be the Demon King who had lived for more than a thousand years.
After they climbed down from the tiger-sky Flying-artifact, Loong Ao walked in front of them and said to the king of the demon race, “Royal father, they are the ones who saved me.”
The forty year old man stared at Gu Qing and the others with his bright eyes, then nodded his noble head, “You have saved my son, but on account of the crown prince, I will give you a chance. However, I will declare in advance that the thing is not easy to obtain, and that it still depends on your good fortune.”
Yun Tian nodded, “Many thanks to the Monster King for giving us this chance.”
The Monster King gave a soft “En” before turning its head to look in the direction of the black volcanic rock.
Gu Qing and the others also looked in that direction. In front of them, the black volcanic rock was emitting a fragmented light under the illumination of the sunlight, and a vortex was gradually formed in the middle of the black volcanic rock.
The crowd waited for another fifteen minutes before that faintly discernible vortex appeared. The Monster King turned to look at them and said, “The Demon Domain Secret Realm has already been opened, whether it’s a blessing or a curse will all depend on your luck. This king wishes you all success in returning.”
Yun Tian nodded to the Monster King and was the first to walk towards the center of the vortex.
Yun Yan followed closely. Seeing that, Gu Qing also followed immediately.
But right at this moment, Loong Ao’s voice sounded from behind him, “Wait!”
Gu Qing and Yun Yan were walking at the back, and stopped at the same time. Yun Tian quickened her pace, and with a flash, she disappeared within the whirlpool.
Loong Ao’s gaze did not notice Yun Tian’s movements, and only focused on Yun Yan, “You cannot enter.”
Yun Yan’s face changed, “Crown Prince Loong Ao, what do you mean?”
Loong Ao smiled slightly, “The Spirit Demon Realm normally wouldn’t be opened to humans. This time, this crown prince specifically begged the Royal Father to let them in to thank the two of you. You and this crown prince aren’t related, so you can’t enter.”
Yun Yan’s beautiful face froze, but she still remembered her demeanor. However, after a while, she endured the surging anger in her heart and said to Gu Qing: “Junior Sister Gu, since Crown Prince Loong Ao has opened the secret realm to repay your gratitude, then go ahead, I’ll wait for you outside.” Saying that, she lowered her voice and said, “I remember! We must help Taoist Changhua get the item! ”
Just as Gu Qing was about to ask what it was, the Spirit Demon King’s emotionless voice came out from behind him, “Little miss, the secret realm’s gate is about to close, if you do not enter now, you might not be able to enter.”
After Gu Qing heard these words, she did not have the time to waste with Yun Yan and the others, in a flash she rushed into the whirlpool.
Yun Yan watched as the two figures disappeared, a trace of sadness flashing past her eyes.
The Demon King at her side ignored her and said to his son, “Ao’er, I have already done what I promised you. Don’t forget what you promised me.”
Loong Ao lowered his head, respectfully standing at the side, “Royal father, don’t worry.
This trip to the human world made him realize that only his strength could determine everything. Even if he was the crown prince of a demon race, he could only be bullied by grown people before he could take the pill out of his mouth.
He slowly turned his head, looked at the Secret Realm’s gate that was gradually disappearing, and said in his heart: Gu Qing, you saved me twice, and I will also repay you.
After receiving his promise, the Demon King nodded in satisfaction, turned around, and left.
Loong Ao turned to look at Yun Yan at his side, “Are you coming with me or are you waiting here?”
Loong Ao had always been a stubborn person, he did not feel that anything was amiss with his previous actions, but since Yun Yan already hated him and did not dare to reveal his feelings, she replied without raising his head, “Thank you, Crown Prince, I will wait here for them.”
Loong Ao curled his lips and said no more. He turned around and left with Hu Tian.
Yun Yan stared at the place where the entrance to the secret realm had disappeared, her face alternating between green and white. She never would have thought that being busy and spending so much time together would give Gu Qing and Yun Tian the chance to be together alone. She felt a stifling feeling in her chest that could not be evacuated. She knew that her Senior Brother treated Gu Qing as a special person and she was really worried that this trip to the Secret Realm would let Yun Tian realize her thoughts.
Senior brother, Yan’er cannot blame you for thinking about other things, but Gu Qing cannot enter your heart either, if not, Yan’er will not be willing!
Gu Qing felt the world spin around her, and in a blink of an eye, she was already in another place, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Yun Tian standing at the side, as if he wasn’t curious about her appearance alone.
She cleared her throat, “About that, they said that the Spirit Demon Realm is not easy to enter. The two of us only let us in after saving Crown Prince Loong Ao.”
Hearing that, Yun Tian nodded slightly before turning his gaze to the front, “This place is very dangerous, you have to follow me closely.”
Gu Qing’s heart warmed, and she softly replied with an “En.” Only then did she turn around to survey her surroundings. It was actually a desert.
She slowly followed behind Yun Tian. The surroundings were completely silent, only the sound of their footsteps could be heard.
They walked for around an hour, and Gu Qing also stared at Yun Tian’s back for two hours. This feeling was very good, there were only the two of them in the world, and although the distance between them was like right now, Gu Qing was not discouraged. She would do her best to close the distance between them and stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
At this moment, Yun Tian suddenly raised his hand to signal for her to not move. As expected, Gu Qing stopped in her tracks, her gaze moved away from Yun Tian, and looked forward. The vast desert remained calm, but the clear sky was covered by a layer of dark clouds. It gave off an extremely oppressive feeling, as if something bad was about to happen.
Gu Qing, who was staring straight ahead, suddenly widened her eyes. Not far in front of her, a small hill appeared in the middle of the desert, as if something was struggling with its bindings.
Gu Qing’s heart sank. She had only been in cultivation for a few years, and even though she had seen Demonic Beast before, she had never seen such a scene.
Yun Tian tilted his head, “Go back a bit.”
Gu Qing replied with an “En”. Yun Tian then flew up, and at the same time, she retreated tens of feet.
After standing still, she raised her head to look ahead and just happened to see the “pu pu” sounds of sand dunes coming from the desert. One after another, giant worms drilled out from the sand dunes.
The insects’ bodies were all red, and each of them was no weaker than a giant python. Although their speed was not fast, there were still a lot of them. In the blink of an eye, it had surrounded Yun Tian.
Gu Qing worriedly looked at Yun Tian’s figure. Her body subconsciously wanted to rush forward, but she stopped herself from doing so. She did not know the strength of the bugs. If she did not rush forward to help Yun Tian, she would probably drag him down.
Thus, he forcefully held back his steps. At this moment, Yun Tian’s figure flashed and he disappeared from where he stood in the blink of an eye.
Puchi …
When Yun Tian appeared in Gu Qing’s field of vision, the sound of meat being cut was heard.
Woo …
The bug on Yun Tian’s back let out a mournful roar. Then, it straightened its huge body. From afar, it looked like a towering iron pillar.
Yun Tian’s attack was successful. He didn’t stop at all. The black liquid that was spat out by the bug flew past it and landed on the back of another bug.
Puchi …
After succeeding with the attack, Gu Qing was relieved for Yun Tian. Suddenly, she saw the countless bugs behind Yun Tian raising their bodies, Gu Qing’s pupils contracted, and shouted: “Martial Uncle, behind you!”
Yun Tian heard the voice and flew up without even turning his head. Almost at the same instant his body disappeared from where he stood, a stream of black liquid sprayed onto the bug under him.
“Chi, chi, chi …”
In the blink of an eye, a large bug comparable to a giant python was corroded into a pool of blood by the black liquid.
Gu Qing felt her heart racing out of her chest. She stared at those giant bugs. She had no doubt that if she rushed up to them, the black liquid would corrode her within a few breaths.
But when Yun Tian faced so many bugs by himself, it was not easy to deal with them.
What should he do? What should he do?
She rolled her eyes and thought of a countermeasure. At the same time, she noticed that Yun Tian kept avoiding the bugs and sneak attacks every time. Unfortunately, there were too many bugs, so even though Yun Tian had killed quite a few, he still did not have the upper hand.
No! She had to help Yun Tian, or else when he ran out of energy, both of them would be in danger.
She thought for a bit, the only skill she could take out was the Withered Handprint, but it consumed too much spiritual energy.
Her eyes constantly moved, and she quickly came to a decision.
With Yun Tian in the middle attracting the attention of these bugs, she only needed to pick up the loopholes at the edge. Although there were dangers, it was still much safer compared to Yun Tian. When that time came, she just needed to kill a bug and run far away to recover.
After feeling that it was feasible, Gu Qing chose a worm not far away. That insect was at the outermost edge, maybe Yun Tian did not attract its attention, so at the moment, it could only crawl around leisurely, Gu Qing carefully touched the back of the insect, and her heart seemed to jump into her throat.
Just as she was about to form a seal, the bug suddenly turned its huge head, and Gu Qing’s figure clearly appeared in a pair of gigantic eyes.
Gu Qing’s eyes widened, and before the bug could even react, Gu Qing smashed the Withered Handprint into its huge body. After doing everything, Gu Qing was not in a hurry to see the results, so she turned and fled.
Only when she returned to her original position did she turn around to look, only to see that the spirited big bug was now lying on the ground, completely lifeless.
