55: Curse and resentment, besieged by monsters!
However, an even more brilliant blazing sun descended above Jue Wuying's head.
Then, a multicolored tiger, its fur bristling, quietly emerged from within the blazing sun.
Its entire body was filled with the might of Li Huo.
It roared as it pressed down on him!
"How is this possible!"
Jue Wuying roared in disbelief, but the tiger paid him no mind, tearing off Jue Wuying's head with a single bite!
Pfft!
Blood sprayed into the air, dangerous and bloody!
Afterward, the remaining warriors were all killed one after another.
Wang Teng clapped his hands and ran over, sneering.
"Who did he think he was? Taking my Three Flames Devouring Sparrow Technique head-on?"
"And then he wasn't convinced, so he took another Great Yang Fire Subduing Tiger Formation."
"He's really a fierce man."
"Too bad, he had bad luck."
Shen Li tilted his head, but picked up Jue Wuying's Storage Pouch.
Seeing the Yao Beast's corpse emitting yellow light, Shen Li was about to go pick it up.
Unexpectedly, Wang Teng's paw was faster.
He picked up the largest crystal and winked at Shen Li.
"I killed it, it's mine."
But before he finished speaking, the largest yellow crystal melted like ice and snow, and then a strange power slipped from his fingertips.
It then reached Wang Teng's hand, forming a Hyena pattern.
Shen Li, holding a wooden box, explained with some exasperation.
"You're really fast."
"What is this thing?"
Wang Teng shook his hand in horror, finding that he couldn't shake it off no matter what.
Shen Li explained with a half-smile.
"It's a curse and resentment, haven't you read any books?"
Wang Teng shrieked.
"How was I supposed to know this beast had such a method?"
"Hyena Sand Beasts act in groups and are extremely vengeful. If anyone dares to kill such a Sand Beast without permission, they will be branded the first time they come into contact with this 'Sand Beast Spiritual Essence.'"
"Then, Hyena Sand Beasts within dozens of miles will be able to sense your aura."
"To encircle and annihilate you."
Shen Li picked up the other Spiritual Essences. These Yao Beasts were like NPCs in an Immortal Martial World; they could drop equipment after death.
If there were enough of these 'Spiritual Essences,' they could be melted into a Great Spiritual Essence, which could increase sand affinity and the strength of techniques. Although the increase was small, accumulating them would be a good thing.
And when Shen Li said this, Wang Teng clearly panicked and quickly stepped forward.
"Then what do I do?"
Shen Li shrugged.
"How should I know what to do? Anyway, you can't stay in Black Ridge City, Brother Wang... go escape on your own?"
"Shen, you are truly shameless! We agreed to share hardships and blessings, I've been working like a dog for you, and now you want to abandon me? Are you even human?"
"Look at you... so anxious again."
Wang Teng was jumping up and down like a monkey, he really couldn't understand why the person in front of him was still so calm.
He quickly asked.
"Quick, is there a solution?"
Shen Li laughed and said.
"Brother Wang, do you know why these Hyena Sand Beasts act in groups?"
"Why?"
"Because they're very weak!"
"And these beasts are particularly good at assessing the situation. You've heard of these Hyena Sand Beasts encircling outdoor caravans, but have you ever heard of them attacking a city?"
"Clearly, they are very timid."
"But with this brand, it can greatly increase their ferocity, making them fight hard to attack the city... These aren't Yao Beasts, aren't they just extremely precious Spiritual Essences, one by one?"
Hearing Shen Li say this, Wang Teng instantly relaxed a lot, but he quickly thought about it again and said with an unpleasant expression.
"They don't attack cities, they're weak, and the curse can stimulate their ferocity... Damn Shen Li, don't tell me you're going to use me as bait?"
Shen Li said innocently.
"Brother Wang, you can't blame me, can you? Look how fast your hand is, who can resist that?"
"I originally wanted to give it to Ruo Liuli or Qiu Ya to handle, but since Brother Wang is so eager, I can't spoil your fun, can I?"
Wang Teng gritted his teeth.
"Shen, I am a Cultivator, not a warrior."
"I've long heard that the Wang Family has a unique body tempering method, now I can finally witness it."
"Shen... I will never rest until you are dead!"
The sandstorm grew thicker, and shouts came from all around, one after another.
Wang Teng felt countless eyes staring at him, but Shen Li kindly reminded him.
"Brother Wang... it's getting late, hurry up and run."
"Oh, right, circle around first... wait until we've set up our defenses, then we'll annihilate them in one fell swoop!"
"And... absolutely do not look back!"
"Damn it... you just wait for me!"
After Wang Teng finished speaking, he shot off like a spring onion from dry ground, rushing towards Black Ridge City!
And in the increasingly hazy sandstorm, the figures of Hyena Sand Beasts began to appear one after another!
Wang Teng's shriek was so loud in the sandstorm!
Seeing this, Shen Li led the rest of the people to clean up the battlefield, and in about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, they quickly arrived at the outer city wall.
A violent explosion suddenly occurred in the sandstorm. Without a doubt, it was Wang Teng's Small Fireball Technique.
Indeed, crisis can trigger a person's potential! The speed of his spellcasting was almost instantaneous!
Shen Li nodded with satisfaction, like an old father.
Then he began to rummage through Jue Wuying's Storage Pouch.
The first thing that caught his eye was the Spirit Stones Shen Li needed to purchase able-bodied men and cold stones. Now, they were returned to their original owner.
Shen Li essentially acquired all these able-bodied men for free.
Next were some higher-quality cold stones, clearly intended for Jue Wuying's transactions, which conveniently went to Shen Li.
And when he looked at the deepest part of the Storage Pouch, there were two glowing Jade Slips, and Shen Li's eyes lit up.
Indeed, a person cannot become rich without unexpected wealth, nor can a horse grow fat without night grass. He hadn't expected Jue Wuying to have some status in the Jue Family.
He even carried two techniques with him!
[Little Wind and Snow Technique]
[Frost Wall]
These two techniques were minor techniques. The latter was naturally the Frost Wall that slowly formed in the sandstorm earlier, but its power was not strong.
After all, the fire, earth, and wind attributes in the sandstorm were too strong, and these happened to counteract the ice attribute.
This was also the reason for Wang Teng's ridicule.
And the former... was a technique similar to the Small Cloud Rain Technique, except one produced rain and the other snow.
It seemed to be for auxiliary use, not for combat.
Shen Li had consumed a Vermillion Fruit in his early years, and his Spiritual Root was water and wood attribute, unlike the difficulty of cultivating the Little Sand Burial Technique.
Cultivating these two minor techniques, which perfectly matched his own attributes, was effortless.
In just a moment, the spell seals could be initially outlined in his mind!
Then, a figure suddenly shot out from the yellow sand, wailing like a ghost.
"Shen! Are you going to do this or not! Hurry and save me!"
"I don't care anymore, I'm going back to the city!"
A Hyena Sand Beast suddenly darted out, its four limbs tracing a fierce trajectory in mid-air, and then it bit fiercely into Wang Teng's exhausted backside!
He entered the range of the Yunmai Heshui Formation.
A shimmering ice wall quietly formed, trapping the Hyena Sand Beast within it.
At the same time, as Shen Li nodded, Qiu Ya shot up, landed among the crowd, killed the Hyena Sand Beast, and then brought him back to the city wall.
Then, a command was given!
The city gates opened, and the Yuting Guards stood side by side, holding their long blades.
Then they charged out!
