Chapter 70 Who is truly the chosen one?
As expected, this group of puppets gave them a lot of trouble, even the senior brother was no exception, because this puppet was too good at copying.
Cultivation and techniques—they fight against another version of themselves, and can only constantly break through their own limitations.
Gradually, everyone began to feel exhausted. Of the five people present, only Long Mingyue and the senior brother still had swords in their hands; the others had already started hand-to-hand combat.
"Senior Brother, we're doomed if this keeps up! Think of something!" Senior Brother Liu gasped for breath, still trying to block the puppet's attack. Sure enough, he was knocked away and coughed up blood.
"Senior Brother Liu!" Long Mingyue was also anxious, but her puppet kept pestering her and couldn't block the attack for Senior Brother Liu at all.
Although Ji Yun Shen didn't speak, he silently swung his sword even faster at the scene before him, but it was no use, as the puppet on the other side still perfectly copied his movements.
"Bang!" Jiang Kuan couldn't dodge the puppet either, and was hit hard by a palm strike.
Next was Senior Brother Zhao, who was also beaten until he vomited blood.
Suddenly, when Long Mingyue's sword struck the puppet, she noticed something was wrong.
"The back of the neck! Senior Brother, attack the puppet's back of the neck!" Long Mingyue quickly told everyone her discovery.
Seeing this, Ji Yunshen gathered the remaining sword energy and stabbed it towards the back of the puppet's neck.
Sure enough, the puppet immediately stopped attacking.
Seeing this, the others also exerted all their strength to attack the back of the puppet's neck. In the end, all the puppets stopped attacking and stood motionless in place.
Long Mingyue was exhausted, just like everyone else, and lay down on the ring. Only Ji Yunshen maintained his composure and sat cross-legged on the ring.
"Damn it, I didn't even fight this hard in the sect's individual battles back then!" Senior Brother Liu said, lying on the ground, panting heavily.
Long Mingyue was so tired that she didn't even want to nod, and could only silently agree in her heart.
Fortunately, after everyone adjusted their breathing, they all regained some energy.
Only then did they realize that the barrier around the arena had disappeared, and they looked at each other, at a loss for what to do.
Just as they were about to walk out of the arena, a flash of light sent them back to the spot where they had started picking the Moon Spirit Grass.
"We're back! By the way, did you all get your rewards?" Senior Brother Liu was the first to recover and began to share with everyone.
"Hahaha, what I got are a hundred ancient pill formulas!" Jiang Kuan laughed loudly, throwing his head back.
Senior Brother Zhao said he got a book on planting spiritual herbs, and Senior Brother Liu got a book on one hundred methods of weapon crafting.
The eldest brother obtained a book on formations, and Long Mingyue obtained a sword manual. Of course, what she didn't mention was that she also had a puppet in her storage bag.
As for whether the others received anything extra, judging from Jiang Kuan's expression, Long Mingyue felt they didn't.
"Damn it, my pill formula isn't the most genuine and precious one! I was the one who entered the secret realm first!" Jiang Kuan felt resentful upon hearing about the other people's rewards.
Senior Brother Zhao was so annoyed he just wanted to roll his eyes. He should have known better than to take this job for spirit stones.
If you're complaining that others got more, why don't you say it's because Long Mingyue found the puppet's weakness, and Senior Brother put in a lot of effort!
He could see clearly that when fighting the puppeteers, Jiang Kuan's puppet was the weakest, and everyone had to block it for him from time to time. It was really too much.
"Here, take this!" Ji Yunshen handed the array jade slip in his hand to Long Mingyue.
"Thank you, Senior Brother! Please take a look at this sword manual first!" Long Mingyue really wanted to see the formation, so she didn't stand on ceremony.
"Hey, junior sister, do you want to see my weapon forging?" Senior Brother Liu chimed in.
"Yes, I also have a guide to planting medicinal herbs!" Senior Brother Zhao also shared.
Seeing that everyone had already expressed their opinions, Jiang Kuan could only pretend to be generous and said, "You can also take a look at my prescription!"
"Fine, fine, I won't look at anything else, but I absolutely must see your pill formula!" Long Mingyue wasn't going to put up with him.
"Long Mingyue, don't go too far!" Jiang Kuan gritted his teeth.
Long Mingyue ignored him. It was a rare opportunity for everyone to share the rewards, so why not take the chance to make a copy for everyone first, and we could worry about whether we would need it later!
Despite Jiang Kuan's reluctance, he made sure to make every single copy. Only the eldest brother remained unmoved. Seeing this, the senior brother Liu directly made a copy for him, ensuring that no one was at a disadvantage and no one was taken advantage of.
They continued onward and soon came to see a large patch of Fire Spirit Grass.
Jiang Kuan couldn't wait any longer and ran off to pick the fruit, leaving everyone else behind.
Long Mingyue and the others did not have fire spirit roots, so they did not have a great need for fire spirit grass. However, they could earn points by picking it and sell it for spirit stones, so they started picking it.
While they were picking the fruit, they suddenly heard a scream. They saw Jiang Kuan running frantically towards them, as if something was chasing him.
"Holy crap, it's a Fire Cloud Beast! Where did Jiang Kuan get this thing from?!" Senior Brother Liu exclaimed and ran away.
Seeing that something was wrong, Long Mingyue and the others quickly ran after Senior Brother Liu. They saw that the Fire Cloud Beast behind Jiang Kuan was running and occasionally spitting out a ball of fire, which made Jiang Kuan scream and yell.
"Damn it, Jiang Kuan, don't run behind us!" Senior Brother Liu was furious. Wherever they ran, Jiang Kuan chased after them, and the Fire Cloud Beast followed.
"That won't do. Senior Brother Liu, I have a concealment talisman." Long Mingyue quickly distributed the concealment talismans to the group.
With the talisman activated, Long Mingyue and the others vanished instantly. Unable to find them, Jiang Kuan could only randomly choose a direction and run away.
The Fire Cloud Beast glanced in the direction of Long Mingyue and the others, but in the end, it still breathed fire and chased after Jiang Kuan.
"Phew, thank goodness they're gone!" Long Mingyue and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
"Um, is it alright to just leave Jiang Kuan alone like this?" Senior Brother Zhao hesitated, after all, this was the big spender.
"It's alright. The Fire Cloud Beast only breathes fire when it's angry. Don't worry, it won't die. It'll let Jiang Kuan go once it's had its fill of playing with him. Let's take advantage of this time and raid its lair!" After Senior Brother Liu said this, Senior Brother Zhao was no longer worried and decided to go raid its lair together.
As for Jiang Kuan, let's just let him run around a bit more for now.
The group of four quietly entered the Fire Cloud Beast's cave. As expected of a fire-attribute spirit beast, the cave was also very hot, with even flowing lava.
"Fireline Lotus!" Long Mingyue spotted the treasure inside the magma at a glance.
Damn, could this Jiang Kuan really be the chosen one?
Long Mingyue was starting to lose her composure. They had actually encountered such a fire-attribute natural treasure, and the lotus flower had already formed seeds.
The eldest brother glanced at her, then quickly picked the lotus flower. "Let's retreat first. Jiang Kuan can't hold off the Fire Cloud Beast for long!"
Sure enough, not long after they left the cave, the Fire Cloud Beast returned, and the group decided to go find Jiang Kuan.
