Chapter 96 Setting Up Traps
As time went on, Weng Buqi discovered that something was off. He couldn't catch up to Wang Xuanyang at all, and after searching for so long, he still hadn't left the foggy area.
He knew he was lost.
Fortunately, he has left his mark.
He took a deep breath, filled with strong unwillingness, and began to retrace his steps along the marks.
He didn't know how long he had walked, but suddenly he stopped. "This is wrong, I've been walking for so long, by rights I should have reached the passageway already, but where has it gone? And this landscape doesn't look right either."
He finally found something was wrong.
His face turned ugly.
"Could it be that this fog isn't as simple as it seems, and can not only affect one's spiritual energy but also create changes, a natural illusion?"
Weng Boqi began to worry.
He had no understanding of the formation method, and as for the so-called illusionary formation, he had only heard of it. It was unpredictable and changeable. If one wasn't skilled in formations, once they were trapped inside, it would be certain death.
He was able to enter the basin last time completely because of other Black Wind Thieves leading the way.
So his impression of the fog was limited to its impact on spiritual power detection.
As for other strange abilities, he didn't discover anything at all.
"What should I do?"
Even Weng Qi, who was determined and strong-willed, became flustered at this moment.
At this moment, Wang Xuanyang was paying attention from hundreds of meters away.
"Give up!"
Wang Xuanyang's face revealed a cold smile.
Time and time again he had to kill himself, if it wasn't for his good luck, he would have already become a pile of white bones. He developed a strong desire to kill Weng Buqi.
If this person is not eliminated, there will be endless troubles later on.
After going through so much time, he knew that kind-hearted people wouldn't live long. He had to be ruthless and merciless, at least towards his enemies, without any mercy in his heart.
"Now Weng Baoqi is trapped by me, but wanting to kill him is still quite difficult."
Wang Xuanyang began to think in his heart.
After all, his cultivation is too low, and his attack power is not strong enough to break through Weng Buqi's defense.
The environment here only affects the detection of spiritual power, but does not affect people's absorption of spiritual energy and recovery of symbol power.
So, wanting to slowly consume Wongboqi's symbol power is probably not a matter of one or two days.
Moreover, with Weng's cunning and treachery, it is possible that he will seize the opportunity to capture him, and he himself may also be in danger.
"What should I do?"
Wang Xuanyang silently analyzed: "The only thing that can break through Weng Buqi's defense is the treasure sword, unless I launch a sneak attack and catch him off guard, it's possible to break through his defense and kill him. However, Weng Buqi has already experienced the power of the treasure sword, making it extremely difficult for me to get close to him."
How can we deceive Weng Boqi and get the treasure sword close to Weng Boqi?
The fog here can't completely block the detection of spiritual power, so as long as his treasure sword is within a dozen meters of Weng Buqi, the other party will be alerted. With the other party's cultivation, it's too easy to dodge the treasure sword's attack.
Moreover, if one strike doesn't hit the mark, the opponent will become vigilant and realize that everything is being manipulated by themselves. At that time, it will be even more difficult to kill Wang Buqi.
However, no matter how hard Wang Xuanyang thought about it, he couldn't think of a solution.
No way, his cultivation is too low and he doesn't have any powerful killing moves on him either.
It would be great if there were a few more high-quality attack talismans.
"It seems like it can only be done through hard work."
Wang Xuanyang gritted his teeth.
Just as he was about to make his move, suddenly, his spiritual power sensed a powerful aura of a strange beast approaching.
There are still few exotic beasts in the deep gully, and it's hard to encounter them. The main reason is that there are too few animals in this deep gully, and even if there are exotic beasts, they can hardly survive.
"Great, an exotic beast has actually appeared."
Wang Xuanyang's face finally showed a hint of joy.
If he could tame this strange beast and have it fight alongside him against Weng Qi, then he would be able to gain the upper hand.
This is a large, cat-like beast about one meter in length, with a glossy black body and gray-green eyes. What's more terrifying is that this beast's tail is extremely long, over three times the length of its body, and it looks like a scorpion's tail, sharp and gleaming with a dark blue light.
Wang Xuanyang had seen data on this strange beast before, it was called a Scorpion-tailed Poison Leopard.
The most terrifying thing about this beast is not its speed, nor the sharpness of its claws and teeth, but that tail over a zhang long, which possesses potent venom; once struck, it's certain death.
Even at critical moments, this toxic and sharp tail can break off and shoot out, making it even harder to defend against.
Moreover, after breaking off, the tail tip can grow again, just like a gecko, which can regenerate its tail.
"Good fellow, enough for Old Man Wu to drink a whole jug."
Wang Xuanyang realized that his chance had come.
Although this strange beast is only a first-class strange beast, its danger level is absolutely among the top in the first-class strange beasts.
Now all we need to do is lure this scorpion-tailed leopard over here.
In the fog, although the scorpion-tailed leopard and other strange beasts may also be affected, after all, they have been living for a long time and have gradually adapted.
So these strange beasts in the fog have a unique hunting instinct.
Wang Xuanyang's heart moved slightly, and he hastily crept slowly towards the location of the poisonous leopard.
He was extremely cautious, after all, it was a top-notch demonic beast among the first-class demonic beasts. Wang Xuan Yang didn't dare to be even slightly careless, once he was discovered by the poisonous leopard, he would have no way of escaping.
When approaching the scorpion-tailed leopard within two hundred meters, the scorpion-tailed leopard had not yet detected it. Wang Xuan estimated that the scorpion-tailed leopard's sensing range should be within two hundred meters.
He stopped.
Suddenly, he used a sword energy to roll up a stone and threw it tens of meters away.
The sound of the stone hitting the ground spread out.
Wang Xuanyang hastily retreated in the direction of Weng Buoqi.
As expected, the scorpion-tailed leopard's sensory abilities and vision were greatly impaired in the fog, but its hearing became exceptionally sharp.
In an instant, the scorpion-tailed leopard sprang towards the place where the stone had fallen, like a black lightning bolt, its speed reaching an extreme point. The most peculiar thing was that the running trajectory of this scorpion-tailed leopard was actually arc-shaped.
In this way, Wang Xuanyang slowly lured him, and finally lured the scorpion-tailed leopard to within a hundred meters of Weng Buchi.
At this time, Scorpion Tail Leopard sensed the existence of Weng Bo Qi.
Weng Buchi was also horrified, feeling a terrible threat coming from the mist. He held his breath and a layer of water vapor appeared on his body, condensing into a strange water armor. The armor had countless wave patterns on it, which showed that its defensive power was extremely high.
At the same time, Weng Buqi's hand also had an additional nail that was only as long as a finger, with strange water patterns wrapped around it.
This is Weng Boqi's entry-level artifact - Flowing Water Piercing Bone Nail.
Once activated, it can be hidden in his water-based spellcasting and launch a sneak attack, which is his specialty.
Obviously, this potential threat made him go all out.
