"Where are you two heading?"
An icy voice echoed, causing Liu Huo to shudder and hide behind Chen Yi.
Chen Yi, however, was significantly calr. He began to speak using a preditated explanation and first greeted Ghost Face:
"Greetings to Elder Ghost Face.
So here's what happened. After the five of us were taken away by the, uh, by your junior sister, she devoured our three comrades first.
Just when it was our turn, it seed like she received so kind of urgent business and left abruptly, flying off with one of her magical instrunts.
So...we thought we'd try to find so food near the water, and that's when you found us."
While Chen Yi was speaking, Liu Huo nodded continuously behind him, indicating agreent.
"Hmm? She had so urgent business and left? What could be more urgent than consuming your vitality and blood?"
Ghost Face frowned and shrugged,
"Oh well. Since she's gone, there's no need to hide anymore. Co with back to the cave. I still need two more people for my supplentary pills.
No need to go hunting now, excellent!"
Chen Yi was helpless and decided to keep a low profile for the ti being and follow Ghost Face back to the cave.
As for Liu Huo, he felt that Chen Yi was going to be his guide for survival from that mont onwards.
But when they returned to the cave, they got a shock.
Out of the 32 initial captives, aside from the five who were taken by the witch, only around ten remained after just half a day.
"Half the people are gone, where did they all go?"
As soon as Ghost Face left, Chen Yi hurriedly asked.
It was then that Mr. Zhao, who was crouched in a corner wearing his lavish clothes, spoke up:
"Chen Yi, why are you back? It's better to escape if you can. Coming back here is like walking a road to death!
That monster makes illicit human pills by draining our spiritual roots and vitality and blood, combining them into human blood spirit pills to enhance her spirit roots!"
"Oh? How did you learn about this?"
"I've seen this forbidden thod in books from my family.
The thod was initially developed by the ancients using heavenly and earthly treasures as the dicinal ingredients. It was a counterintuitive life-changing technique used to aid the offspring of noble families in their spirit root enhancent. But now, since the environnt has drastically changed and spirit objects have beco scarce, big shots in the demon path have modified the technique. Now they use human blood and spirit roots as the main ingredients,
using 49 people's blood spirit roots to create supplentary pills, and then adding a dual spirit roots individual as the main ingredient. Even though this pill has severe side effects and greatly differs from the ancient thod using heavenly and earthly treasures, it offers a chance for spirit root enhancent. Every few decades, so demon cultivators risk their lives for it,
and we are unlucky enough to encounter one right now.
So Chen Yi, can you still run?"
Chen Yi remained silent as he absorbed the new information, then shook his head: "We can't run."
"Then let's fight back? Otherwise, we'll all die here. In fact, I've reached the first level of Qi Refining and can use Mana. I have a way to break the simple prohibition outside."
What Mr. Zhao didn't say was that he had a trump card up his sleeve, but he planned to use it at the very last mont.
Chen Yi did not imdiately agree. Instead, he said: "I'd appreciate it if you could tell more about the detailed steps to create the human blood spirit pill and the specific requirents for taking this spirit pill."
After a while, Chen Yi had gained so basic understanding and was deep in thought.
Resistance was necessary, they couldn't just sit around waiting for death.
But they couldn't act rashly. Even though he had the strength of the third level of body refining, he had no experience in fighting in the Immortal Cultivation World. A careless move would not end well if pitted against a demon cultivator at the seventh layer of Qi Refining.
They needed a gradual approach, to slowly find the breakthrough. Gradually, Chen Yi had a vague plan in mind.
Why is it so hard just to cultivate peacefully?
"Mr. Zhao, don't rush. Together, we're not a match for that monster. Let take so ti to think."
Chen Yi did not commit to Zhao Chengyu right away, since Zhao was the main ingredient in this batch of human pills. Losing one or two others wouldn't be a big deal, but Mr. Zhao would surely be closely monitored.
"Hey hey hey, don't leave!" How could Zhao Chengyu not be anxious? He was a dual spirit roots genius, destined for Immortal Cultivation. He can't possibly die just as he has started out?
"Liu Huo! You're Chen Yi's right-hand man, you persuade Chen Yi. We can't just sit and wait for death?!"
At first, Liu Huo had respect for Mr. Zhao, but seeing how Mr. Zhao was in the sa predicant as them, and even worse off, he felt oddly satisfied.
Liu Huo shot Mr. Zhao a grin then said, "I listen to Chen Yi. He's my big brother now!" Afterwards, he turned to the corner where Chen Yi was seated.
.....
Plan A: Find the opportunity to ambush Ghost Face while he is refining the pill. Utilize his strength at the third level of body refining and his Huajin ability, combined with Vajra Eight Steps and Wave Stacking Strength, accumulating Vitality and Blood for the strongest attack.
There's an 85% chance that Ghost Face can be killed with a single strike.
"No, the success rate of 85% is too low, and the risk is too high.
Even if the ambush is successful, my strength at the third level of body refining and Wave Stacking Strength will be exposed. If I am noticed by a demon cultivator or an important person in the Immortal Cultivation World, unpredictable changes might occur.
It's not worth it. Only as a last resort should I take action.
At least, I cannot be the main force in the ambush to kill Ghost Face. I need to find soone to act as a shield for , drawing most of the attention away."
