Chapter 176 Single Challenge (Subscription Request)

The next day.

It was the day when the Soul Devouring Bugs had to go to the wild to eat.

"Swish!"

Wu Tao pointed out with his finger, and used the Wind and Thunder Style with his fingertips, but he controlled it very delicately, without wasting a trace of spiritual energy, just enough to cut off seven inches of a snake-like monster that was flying towards him.

The snake-like monster was cut off by seven inches, and its two bodies rolled on the ground for a while, and then it died without moving.

The year before, Wu Tao had already advanced to a depth of 120 miles in the wild.

Of course, this was Wu Tao's cautious approach. Other adventurers and casual cultivators would often go three or four hundred miles, and even some brave casual cultivators and adventurers, seeking wealth and honor in danger, would directly advance five or six hundred miles.

Because they didn't go deep, they relied on hunting some first-level low-level monsters, how could they live?

Unlike Wu Tao, who was an equipment refiner, he could earn cultivation resources just by refining magic tools, and came to the wild just to feed his pets.

This was Wu Tao's first time in the wild since he broke through the ninth level of Qi Refining.

This time, he planned to advance a little further. As for how many miles he could advance, it would depend on how much his strength would increase after he broke through the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Even if he broke through to the ninth level of Qi Refining, Wu Tao would not think that he was that powerful. The ninth level of Qi Refining was only the peak of Qi Refining cultivators. There was also the foundation building stage above it, and there were second-level monsters equivalent to the foundation building stage.

Therefore, as soon as he arrived in the wild, he still released the soul-eating insect and let it enter the invisible state to check the surrounding situation.

When advancing fifty miles, Wu Tao encountered a first-level intermediate monster. When the soul-eating insect was about to eat the monster's soul with ease, Wu Tao sent out his mind to stop the soul-eating insect.

He wanted to try to kill this first-level intermediate monster with pure spiritual energy cultivation, rather than the body-tempering technique.

Without the killing move of the body-tempering technique, he only had the fireball technique and the Qingling sword scripture.

Wu Tao restrained his breath and did not release the breath of the ninth level of Qi Refining. Monsters also have the instinct to seek good fortune and avoid danger. If the monster senses his ninth level of Qi Refining, it will definitely run away.

He secretly came behind the first-level intermediate monster. The fireball technique has reached the expert level. It no longer needs to recite the spell to release it.

Moreover, with his current cultivation, it is a simple matter to release a few fireballs. It does not consume much spiritual energy at all.

He has never used fireballs against the enemy. The reason why he can practice fireballs to the expert level is that he only uses fireballs when he barbecues or destroys corpses.

This slowly raised the fireball technique to the expert level.

Wu Tao's breath is restrained, and the bone-shifting and shape-changing technique also has the effect of restraining breath. Therefore, he quietly came behind the first-level intermediate monster, and the monster did not find him.

When he got close to a certain distance, Wu Tao suddenly rubbed out two fireballs and smashed them at the first-level intermediate monster.

Bang——

With a loud bang, the first-level intermediate monster was hit by the fireball, which instantly burned its fur, and the flames invaded its body, causing the monster to scream.

Knowing that it was no match for the enemy, the monster wanted to escape.

But how could Wu Tao let it escape? The fireballs in his hand kept hitting the monster accurately. After a while, the monster was cooked to death, and it smelled like barbecue.

Smelling the aroma of barbecue, Wu Tao simply took out the seasoning from the storage bag, mixed the dry sauce, and ate the monster directly.

After eating, Wu Tao said to himself: "Sure enough, the higher the realm, the lower the realm of the monster or the cultivator, even the most basic spells, the opponent has no power to resist."

"This is the realm of crushing."

Wu Tao felt the pleasure of realm crushing.

After cleaning up, Wu Tao continued to explore. He did not forget that he came out to the wild to feed the soul-eating insects.

By noon, Wu Tao's storage bag had more than a dozen first-level primary monster corpses and nine first-level intermediate monster corpses.

At this time, he also came to a depth of 120 miles.

After breaking through the ninth level of Qi Refining and improving his strength, Wu Tao continued to move forward.

After walking about 20 miles, the Soul Devouring Worm fed back information to his mind, saying that there was a first-level high-level monster fifteen miles ahead.

After Wu Tao received the information, his eyes moved slightly, and he thought: "It just so happens that I have broken through the ninth level of Qi Refining. It's not easy to meet a first-level high-level monster. How can I not test my current strength?"

The test of his current strength he said, of course, is not to use the three trump cards of Soul Devouring Worm, Yinhun Banner, and Refining Corpse.

Instead, it is simply relying on his own ninth-level Qi Refining cultivation, well, and the cultivation of the body tempering technique. After all, the opponent is at the same level as him, so he can't be careless and needs to respect the opponent.

Thinking of this, Wu Tao asked the Soul Devourer to pay attention to the movements of the first-level high-level monster, and he himself set up the Three-Polarity Water and Fire Sword Formation nearby, just in case.

This "what if" was not because Wu Tao could not defeat the first-level high-level monster, but to guard against other factors, such as other teams of casual cultivators and adventurers. If he was a little tired after fighting with the first-level high-level monster, the other party would take advantage of the fire to rob him, which was also a way out.

In the wild, no matter what, you always have to leave some ways out.

After setting up the Three-Polarity Water and Fire Sword Formation, Wu Tao immediately restrained his own breath and quietly moved towards the location of the first-level high-level monster.

Soon, Wu Tao saw the first-level high-level monster. The monster was a monster that looked like a crocodile but not a crocodile, and a lizard but not a lizard. As for what it was called, Wu Tao did not study it in depth.

However, the aura of this monster gave him was that it was a late-stage monster among the first-level high-level monsters, corresponding to the ninth level of Qi Refining for the immortal cultivators.

But the aura is stronger than the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Wu Tao has just entered the ninth level of Qi Refining, and has not even achieved 1% of the progress. If it is only about spiritual cultivation, Wu Tao is not afraid of this monster, because he still has the limit of Qi Refining.

"Next, let's fight in an open and square battle, and then we can know how strong I am."

"So, this time, I don't use my trump card, I want to fight the monster with my own strength!"

When Wu Tao thought of this, he took out the ghost flag from the storage bag, chanted the formula, and a stream of ghosts instantly surrounded the first-level high-level monster.

The first-level high-level monster was startled, looked at the ghosts surrounding him, roared, and the fierce and barbaric aura on his body was completely released.

Before Wu Tao stopped, he released two more refined corpses to block the retreat of the first-level high-level monster to prevent the other party from escaping.

There were also soul-eating insects raiding the formation.

Finally, Wu Tao touched his storage bag with his fingers, and instantly held the Wind and Thunder Spear in his hand. A first-level high-level demon beast was worthy of his full effort.

"Come on, let's fight!"

Wu Tao walked towards the first-level high-level demon beast.

The first-level high-level demon beast looked at Wu Tao, and immediately knew that this human was the biggest enemy. It roared and rushed towards Wu Tao.

Feeling the fierce breath, Wu Tao's heart was as solid as a rock, without the slightest hesitation. The wind and thunder rose from his heart, and the great momentum of the spear was radiated from his body, colliding with the opponent's breath.

This was an invisible, momentum contest.
