Chapter 527: Booby Trap
Chapter 527 – Booby Trap
“Divine soul type treasures ……”
Realist Cangwu mused.
“These types of treasures are extremely rare and uncommon, while not necessarily being effective against that Mystic Heart Vermin.”
“What’s more, there’s a possibility that it could cause serious damage to the Spirit Beast Divine Soul.”
“Do not utilize this method until it is absolutely necessary.”
Realist Cangwu made a decision.
“Senior uncle, you can look for the fifth or sixth grade protection spirit beasts within the blessed land, they are relatively simple minded and have strong spiritual awareness, they can collect their minds and disguise themselves and have a great attraction to those mind-obsessed vipers, so the probability is high that they will be able to lure it out.”
Seeing this, Lu Xuan said.
“Good, let’s follow what Master Nephew Lu said.”
Realist Cangwu let out a long whistle, his voice resonating through the clouds, and a few breaths later, a huge spirit beast with the head of a dragon and the body of a turtle rode through the clouds and arrived at great speed.
The spirit beast has a green and black mottled turtle armor, on which there are countless translucent lines swimming, forming a strange trigram.
“Little Cangwu, what’s the matter with calling me over?”
Having not seen it for a long time, the old dragon turtle still had a lazy look and said casually.
The JieDan realm’s Cangwu real person was a small child in its eyes in general.
Lu Xuan’s few people bowed their heads in silence, as if they hadn’t heard it.
“Senior Dragon Turtle, there are several inner disciples here, so at least give me some face.”
“What, do you still want me to call you Cangwu Zenith?”
The old Dragon Turtle snorted and saw Lu Xuan on the side.
“Lu kid, you didn’t come over to see your old friend even after arriving at the Ten Thousand Demon Cave?”
“Senior, senior just arrived not long ago, there are some things to settle first, I will go catch up with senior later.”
With outsiders around, Lu Xuan did not reveal his nature in front of the Dragon Turtle and said respectfully.
Zhong Hao’s few people greeted the old Dragon Turtle one after another.
Inwardly, they were all shocked, not realizing that Lu Xuan was so familiar with the Sixth Grade Protector Spirit Beast within the sect.
“Relying on me to lure out that Mind Vermin, huh?”
After Realist Cangwu explained the reason for the abnormal spirit beasts going berserk, the old dragon turtle asked.
“Yes, according to Master Nephew Lu’s suggestion, we must lure those Mind-Melting Vermin out and then find a solution.”
“Alright, but I need to divine first.”
The old Dragon Turtle was worthy of having lived for thousands of years, and was quite cautious, the green and black turtle armor on his back surfaced with a pattern of trigrams, the patterns constantly combining and changing, dazzling Lu Xuan and the others.
After confirming that there was no danger in this move, the Old Dragon Turtle quietly lay down beside the Abnormal Spirit Beast.
It collected its thoughts, its mind in a state of calm, its vast sea of consciousness completely undefended in general.
Lu Xuan and the others stood at a distance as they gazed and held their breath.
Realist Cangwu held a bronze ancient mirror, shining it at the direction where the old dragon turtle was.
The Abnormal Spirit Beast had been hissing towards the Old Dragon Turtle, trying every possible way to try and attack it, but it was only able to bluff its way through under the constraints of the Rope Phylactery.
A few moments later, just when the crowd thought that this method was ineffective, the intruded four-winged Thunderstorm Tiger suddenly quieted down, and a finger-thin, grayish-white monster worm that was like a poisonous snake slowly wormed its way out from the center of its brow.
The sea of consciousness of the old dragon turtle next to the convergence of thoughts and mind seemed to be a supreme delicacy to this strange insect, after it made a strong effort to break free, it kept wriggling and crawling towards the old dragon turtle’s head.
The old dragon turtle’s mind seems to be fascinated in general, completely did not find the figure of the gray and white monster worm.
After the Mind Bewitching Insect revealed its trail, it wasn’t that difficult to deal with it.
Just as it was about to invade the old dragon turtle’s head, the turtle shell on the old dragon turtle’s back suddenly flew up, and a trigram cage appeared out of nowhere, trapping the Bewitching Vermin.
The countless translucent lines on the cage continuously tightened, directly cutting the Mystic Heart Vermin into countless pieces. “Just this strange bug?”
“If you guys hadn’t warned me beforehand and invaded my mind, I probably wouldn’t have even known about it.”
The old dragon turtle said slowly.
“Perhaps this Mind-Melting Vermin has some ability to confuse the mind, and can invade spirit beasts without a sound.”
Lu Xuan guessed.
Next, the Old Dragon Turtle and the Cangwu Realist did as they had been doing, luring out the Mind-Melting Vermin Bugs from the bodies of more than a dozen abnormal Spirit Beasts one by one, before destroying them with the speed of a thunderbolt.
The Mystic Heart Vermin Insects were all adults, cultivated without the light cluster rewards for their sake, so Lu Xuan didn’t apply to leave a single one alive.
“Senior nephew Lu, I’ll also trouble you to give these spirit beasts a good inspection to see if there’s anything lurking within them.”
After all of the Mindless Vermin Insects inside the abnormal spirit beasts were booby-trapped, each of them lay down on the ground and slept soundly, not at all like the raging and restlessness they had before.
Lu Xuan nodded as he heard this and walked forward to inspect the more than ten spirit beasts that had fallen into slumber one by one.
“There’s no problem, it’s just that their minds are too depleted, they need to recuperate for a period of time, and they can be fed some ordinary elixirs that restore their minds.”
Lu Xuan said in a deep voice as he came in front of Realist Cangwu after checking.
“That’s good.”
Realist Cangwu let out a sigh of relief and looked at Lu Xuan with a look of appreciation in his eyes.
“I’ve heard of Master Nephew Lu’s attainments in Spiritual Plants, but I didn’t expect that it’s no less in Spiritual Beasts.”
“Indeed, when Senior Brother Lu doesn’t make a move, he shocks the four seats when he makes a move.”
Zhong Hao recalled the method Lu Xuan had once used to help him solve that pair of Shouting Yin Beasts’ conception problem and concurred.
The rest of the few were equally impressed by Lu Xuan’s ability and exclaimed in admiration.
“Luck, luck, just happened to have seen it.”
Lu Xuan said modestly, and with a twist of words, he continued to suggest to Realist Cangwu.
“Senior Uncle, I think we can use this method to check the rest of the spirit beasts within the blessed land, especially the ones that have recently returned from the various secret realms.”
“As of now, this Mind-Melting Vermin is not contagious, but there’s no guarantee that there aren’t any other spirit beasts that have been infiltrated into the sea of consciousness.”
“Alright, I’ll make the arrangements.”
Real Cangwu nodded his head crisply in agreement.
Although this was a big project, as long as it guaranteed the safety of all the spirit beasts within the blessed land, a little hard work was nothing.
As for the sect cultivators, since the cultivator’s spiritual sense was far more powerful than that of the spirit beasts, and they had various means of protection, and their minds were complex, it was very difficult for the Mind Vermin to unknowingly invade the cultivator’s sea of consciousness, so there was no need to worry too much about it.
After checking out the Vermin Vermin, there is not much for Lu Xuan to do.
He then said goodbye to Cangwu real person, before leaving, but also with the old dragon turtle to make an appointment, then come over to see it.
Before he left, Realist Cangwu gifted him a thousand sword seals as a reward for solving the Spirit Beast Rebellion this time.
Lu Xuan couldn’t resist, so he had to accept it. One thousand Sword Seals, equivalent to two fourth-grade Spirit Seeds, was easily earned in less than a day, making him feel that knowledge was wealth.
“Senior Brother Lu, wait.”
Just as he flew out of the thick cloud mass for not long, wanting to use the teleportation array to return to the sect, a gloomy voice came from behind.
Lu Xuan followed the voice and saw Chen Luo flying towards him at breakneck speed.
“Senior Brother Chen, I wonder what I can teach you?”
Lu Xuan looked calm and waited for Chen Luo to land in front of him and asked in a deep voice.
