A small casual cultivator!

Chapter 360: The Terrifying Giant Hand

Lu Luan walked all the way south.

At the same time, I was planning the route in my mind, recalling the previous map, and guarding against possible risks.

"My soul has been compressed to the point where I can only sense within a hundred feet."

Lu Luan felt heavy-hearted. He tried to spread out his soul, but it felt a bit difficult as the range was greatly reduced.

He gently touched his chest and said silently: "I hope that strange beast can really be useful to me."

Next, Lu Luan walked quickly and his figure jumped. Behind him, at the location of Tianyang Waterfall, as cracks appeared, figures came out from them from time to time and left in various directions.

No one flew in the air because everyone knew that was seeking death.

……

"Ok?"

An hour passed, and when they reached a mountain pass, Lu Luan slowly stopped because there were signs of fighting around him.

Not daring to be careless, he set up the Xuan Gang with a thought.

After unfolding his soul and taking more than ten steps forward, he saw a corpse under a rock, stuck diagonally on a tree stump.

Moreover, his death was extremely tragic. Only half of his body was left, and the other half was nowhere to be found. He was covered in blood, and it was possible that he had not been dead for long, as his pale eyes were still wide open.

Lu Luan walked over.

"Early stage of foundation building."

After arriving in front of him, he squatted down and reached out to sense the wound. Through the remaining breath, he easily saw the man's cultivation level.

"Huh? A storage ring."

He was surprised to find that there was a storage ring on this half of the body.

Xiaoxiao moved his hands and called it over. When he took a look at it, he found that it only had some talismans to restore its true essence and a dozen spirit stones. As for the talismans, they might have been used up in the previous battle.

"This corpse may still be useful."

Shaking his head slightly, he collected the bloody body. The flesh and blood body could be used to attract monsters.

"This man's wounds are very neat, somewhat similar to sword wounds. What killed him?"

Lu Luan murmured. He didn’t think that this was done by other cultivators who came in. Only a person with middle-level cultivation could kill an early-stage cultivator so easily. But if it was really a human, it would be impossible for him to leave the storage ring behind.

"Snapped!"

But just as he was about to look around to see if there was anything wrong, the piece of rotten wood that had just been inserted into the half corpse seemed to come alive, shaped like a spirit snake, and went straight to his forehead.

However, Lu Luan was protected by Xuan Gang, so the impact only hit the surface.

"what!"

Lu Luan retreated dozens of feet, startled, and wanted to reach out and grab him.

But when the thing saw that its attack was blocked, it immediately shrank back and quickly burrowed into the ground.

"It turned out to be a trap. The thing that attacked me just now... must be the tree roots. It seems that some ancient tree or vine has become a spirit. It deliberately left a storage ring and knew how to use human corpses to set traps. It seems that its intelligence is not low."

Lu Luan looked around quietly, thinking in his heart, if it had been someone else, they would have died on the spot.

The thing just now came quickly and left quickly, without a trace.

"call."

"call……"

But soon, there was a sound of breaking air in the surrounding forest, and those towering ancient trees kept shaking. He used his soul to carefully observe, but found nothing.

Lu Luan concealed his aura so as not to let the other party feel his strength.

"The monsters here have adapted to their surroundings and are hiding very deeply."

His soul had searched inch by inch, but could not find anything.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, his brows twitched, and he found something strange on the ground below. The next moment, he saw two gray vines emerge and entangle his Xuan Gang.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

Immediately afterwards, the ground shook and tentacle-like vines shot up into the sky, densely packed together, raising dust and blocking out the sky. Each vine was as thick as buckets.

No, look carefully, these are tentacles!

I saw that these tentacles were emitting waves, forming a transparent shell that wrapped Lu Luan inside.

Then, a ten-foot-tall octopus-like head with several dead branches and iron-like leaves emerged from the soil. It was a piece of old wood with roots and sprouts. Its skin was covered with bumps, and it had a violent aura all over its body, with bloodshot and gloomy eyes.

"This……"

Looking at the monster in front of him, Lu Luan's expression was a little strange. It looked so weird and he didn't know what it was.

"Prey, die."

The monster let out a hoarse roar, and the countless tentacles around it trembled, then all bent and stabbed towards his Xuan Gang.

Moreover, the end of each tentacle was like a long knife, constantly slashing at him with sharp attacks, leaving cracks on the ground.

But his Xuan Gang was as solid as a rock, and the strength of this monster was at best barely at the middle stage of foundation building, so it posed no threat.

"Humph!" Lu Luan smiled coldly, looked at his right hand, and said silently: "It's time to try you."

As he watched, the arm began to turn black, a layer of hard black scales appeared, and sharp claws extended from the fingers.

Take this opportunity to get familiar with this new arm.

Looking at the densely packed vines that had wrapped him into a ball, his eyes turned slightly cold and he raised his right hand to the side.

The next moment, cold rays of light were seen shining through the tree roots that were tangled into a ball.

"Goo!"

"Woo!"

The shrill screams echoed in the mountains, deafening. The half-beast, half-tree monster twisted its body desperately, as if it was being skinned and flayed, struggling and wailing...

After seeing the terrifying strength of his, the monster wanted to escape, but Lu Luan waved his arm, grabbed the vines, and with an effort, pulled its entire body up.

Soon, the narrow mountain pass was filled with vines that were still jumping.

After a few breaths.

The screams stopped.

Lu Luan was suspended in mid-air, grabbing the octopus monster's crown with his right hand and lifting it up. After being imprisoned, it was unable to move or make a sound.

In this short while, all the other root-like tentacles had been torn into pieces by him, leaving only the head. However, its vitality was very strong, and although it was severely damaged, its roots were not cut off.

When it looked into Lu Luan's eyes, the bloodshot eyes no longer had the arrogance they had before, but instead, there was a deep fear. It had fought with countless beasts in its life in this world, but this was the first time that it had been left with only its head, without any power to resist.

Lu Luan looked at it and murmured, "This monster looks strange. It has flesh and blood, but it also has plant characteristics. It's rare to see one."

However, he had also seen such a creature before, namely Elder Deer. Before he transformed, Elder Deer's antlers were two vibrant spiritual trees.

"Don't kill me. I know where the elixir is nearby. With your strength, you can definitely get it."

This monster is also afraid of death, and said in a hoarse voice to prove his worth.

"Magic medicine?" Lu Luan frowned, with a hint of interest in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared. He thought that the medicine must have grown in a dangerous place, otherwise it would have been swallowed long ago.

Time is running out, and finding that strange beast is the most important thing. He doesn't want to waste time on other things.

Looking at it, Lu Luan seemed to be thinking about something, and said coldly: "If you don't want to die, answer my question, how long have you been in here?"

Hearing that there was still a chance of survival, the demon's eyes lit up and he quickly replied, "I... I don't know. It's not like the outside world where there is a fixed day and night cycle, but roughly speaking, it should be more than a hundred years."

It has a very high intelligence, not inferior to humans. Over the years, it has killed many cultivators who came in to explore, and has also searched their souls, so it naturally knows about the outside world.

"In that case, do you know this kind of monster?"

Lu Luan waved his hand, and the shadow of a strange beast appeared in front of him.

The demon looked at it, and his eyes immediately became dim. "This... I don't know. Although I have lived for so long, I have been hiding in this valley to practice and have never gone out."

"Then go to hell!"

Lu Luan had a blank expression on his face and exerted force on his hands.

"Gu... gu..."

The monster couldn't scream, it could only make gurgling sounds. The severe pain tore at it, and its eyes almost bulged out.

"It seems that you really don't know."

Lu Luan shook his head in disappointment and put the head into the storage ring.

He did not kill it. After all, it was also a magical medicine. If he could get out alive, he could give it to Xiao Can to train him. Maybe it would be useful to him.

It took only more than ten breaths of time for the valley to return to calm, and Lu Luan continued to run quickly towards the south.

Of course, sometimes he would climb up high and check the terrain with the map he bought in his mind to make sure he didn't go in the wrong direction.

……

"boom!"

"boom!"

"what happened?"

Another three or two hours passed, and Lu Luan was carefully moving between the mountains when suddenly, a series of dull sounds came from the sky.

Looking around, I saw many dark clouds appearing from nowhere in the sky, and there were bursts of thunder.

"This cave is changing!"

Lu Luan's face immediately turned ugly. He knew that the operating laws of this world were very complicated.

As this change occurred, one could feel the air around him becoming more stuffy, and his spreading soul was being compressed back little by little.

The light was fading quickly and the wind was blowing hard.

"Roar!"

"Woo!"

The monsters hiding deep in the forest let out earth-shaking roars and became active.

"Ok?"

Lu Luan's eyes suddenly looked into the distance. It turned out that on the top of the mountain, a giant bird rushed out quickly, making a sharp sound. It had purple and green feathers all over its body, and when it flapped its wings, it could create a strong wind.

"boom!"

He heard a deafening roar, and was shocked to see a large, hairy, earthy-yellow hand reaching out from the foggy valley! The bird cried out in fear, and was grabbed. Under the powerful force, it vomited blood and died instantly.

After catching the prey, the big hand slowly retracted into it.

"This……"

The strong wind ruffled his long hair. Lu Luan stood on a high place, staring into the distance in shock. How terrifying must the owner of such an arm be?

The giant beast with the strength to move mountains was wondering what kind of horrible place he had come to.
