Chapter 169 Ancient Cultivator's Cave
The attacks of the water element are different from those of fire. Although the water element is water, we know that water can take on many forms. In other words, the water element's playing cards can actually transform.
Before the cards were launched, Bai Ke had already infused them with spiritual power, which rapidly cooled their water element.
At this moment, the wolf demon was surrounded by several cards from all sides, unable to break free or escape, and could only be trapped inside.
The water element card flew out and transformed into icy blades and spikes, sweeping continuously towards the wolf pack.
The wolves were either burned by the Five Flames or pierced by ice spikes. Before long, they were completely incapacitated and lay on the ground covered in wounds.
The disciples had never seen anything like it before, and they were all amazed and impressed. They had never seen such a powerful magical artifact before.
With just a few swift moves, Bai Ke rendered the wolf demons powerless to fight back, causing them to feel even greater awe and respect for this senior brother.
Lin Xiu, who had intended to see him make a fool of himself, instead ended up letting him steal the spotlight. Seeing the admiring and envious looks the surrounding disciples gave Bai Ke, Lin Xiu felt even more uncomfortable.
Seeing that the wolf demons had lost their fighting ability, Bai Ke raised his right hand and stretched it out. The playing cards returned to their original state and were hidden in his palm.
At this moment, the disciples gathered around, looking at the pack of wolf demons. One disciple asked, "Senior Brother, what should we do with these wolf demons?"
Upon hearing this question and looking at the scattered wolf demon corpses in front of him, Bai Ke decided to burn them to prevent other wild animals from eating them and getting infected, in order to prevent future troubles.
Before anyone could see what Bai Ke was doing, he had already thrown a ball of flame down where the wolf demons were.
A series of small, random explosions could be heard.
Bai Ke frowned as he looked at the still-pulsating true fire in his hand. He suddenly remembered the fire dragon essence he had once fused with. It was clear that this extremely masculine true fire clashed with the yin energy in the wolf demon's corpse, which was why it exploded.
"Alright, the wolf demon has been eliminated. Let's hurry up and finish the mission." Bai Ke turned around and said to his disciples.
The disciples bowed in unison and replied, "Yes, Senior Brother!"
At this moment, Bai Ke walked over to Lin Xiu, looked at him, and said, "Lin Xiu, I know you've always been unconvinced by me. Since that's the case, let's take this opportunity to have a fair and just competition. If we're going to win, let's win spectacularly."
"Bai Ke, what are you trying to do? What trick are you going to pull this time?"
"I don't want to play any tricks. Since we are both vying for the position of Heavenly Strategy Saint, let's rely on our strength."
You knew perfectly well that this bead was defective, yet you deliberately let me take it so easily. Weren't you just using me as bait to see what kind of big fish you'd catch?
"So what? I did scheme against you, what can you do about it?" Lin Xiu showed no embarrassment at being seen through, but instead calmly admitted it and asked Bai Ke in return.
"I'm telling you this not to settle scores with you later. The matter of the corpse transformation in Moyun Kingdom is related to the Netherworld Beast Forest. Since that's the case, why don't we cooperate, compete fairly, and explore the Netherworld Beast Forest separately?"
"Let's see who can first find out why this wolf demon mutated and why the zombies appeared. How about it, dare you?"
Seeing that Lin Xiu seemed unconvinced, he smiled and asked, "What, are you scared? I'm discussing this with you so frankly, and you still don't dare to agree?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiu said defiantly, "Hmph! Bai Ke, don't try to provoke me, I won't fall for it."
However, I've agreed to what you just mentioned. I want to see who's more capable; we'll see who has the better skills then!
"Alright, since you've agreed, let's begin the competition! I'll take my men and head out first. If anything happens, fire a signal flare. Goodbye."
After saying that, he ordered his men to head deeper into the beast forest. Meanwhile, Lin Xiu, watching Bai Ke and his companions depart, was lost in thought. He seemed to be...understanding Bai Ke less and less...
"Let's go! Let's check from this side to that side!" After saying that, Lin Xiu led another group of disciples into the depths of the beast forest from another direction.
Bai Ke's group walked forward, searching as they went. "Senior Brother, we've been searching for most of the day and haven't found anything suspicious. This Beast Forest is so vast, and the fog is so thick. How long will it take us to find it?"
"Hehe, don't rush. I think this is very strange. Perhaps what we're looking for is in a deeper place."
After he finished speaking, the other disciples laughed and joined in the commotion, mocking the disciple who had spoken earlier for being too impatient and saying that haste makes waste.
As they walked, Bai Ke suddenly stopped. "That's right! Why didn't I think of that? We could use our divine sense to explore the surroundings first. Otherwise, if we keep searching like this, we'll really be looking until next year."
"Everyone, stop for a moment. I'll use my divine sense to explore the surroundings so we don't have to keep searching." Upon hearing this, everyone obeyed and stopped, alerting their surroundings to protect Bai Ke.
Bai Ke calmed himself down, channeled his inner energy, and used his divine sense to scan his surroundings. After a while, Bai Ke couldn't help but say, "Huh? That's strange, why isn't there anything..."
"How could this be? Could it be that it's not in this beast forest?" Just as Bai Ke was racking his brains trying to figure it out, a sudden thought struck him. "That's right, how come I didn't think of that!"
"A mustard seed can contain Mount Sumeru." Bai Ke had some insights into the laws of space in the small world of Tian Long Ba Bu, and was wondering about it when he suddenly remembered it.
So, based on his understanding of the laws of space, Bai Ke investigated again and finally discovered it.
"Come on, this way!" With that, he led the way, and the disciples followed behind.
The further they went, the more weeds they encountered, making the path increasingly difficult. Gradually, the weeds and branches turned into thorny brambles, forcing the group to slow down and proceed cautiously step by step.
After all, the Netherworld Beast Forest is no ordinary place. If we accidentally get injured or fall into a trap, wouldn't that slow down our progress and delay important matters?
The group walked for a long time, but still hadn't reached their destination. One of the disciples couldn't help but ask, "Senior Brother, is this really the direction we're looking for? This road is so difficult to walk; it doesn't look like a place that demonic beasts or ordinary humans would find."
“If you want to leave, then leave. Why are you making so many excuses? When has our senior brother ever missed something? Don’t worry, just hang in there a little longer, we’ll definitely find it. Let’s all be careful,” another disciple replied.
This time, after walking for a short while, the disciples heard Bai Ke's voice: "We've arrived!"
The disciples looked up and saw that they had stopped beside an ancient tree. After observing carefully for a while, one of the disciples suddenly discovered that there was a hole under the tree. The hole was surrounded by dense weeds and branches, and it would be difficult for anyone to find it without careful observation.
