Chapter 360: Chapter 353: The Demon Bird That Can Instantly Kill in the Spirit Qi Realm_1

“`

Because it was night, the scenes on the mountain peaks were not very clear.

As for discerning the people on the peaks, that was even more out of the question.

Atop the peak, Qin Niu had left behind some Termites.

Now that his Termites could be mass-produced, taking out a few in this kind of emergency situation was really nothing.

Leaving them on the mountain served mainly for surveillance.

It also allowed Qin Niu to experiment with using Termites to infiltrate the peak and gather intelligence to see if it was feasible.

If those Termites were wiped out, he could afford the loss.

“Bastard, dare to deceive me! I will not spare you!”

A mournful curse came from the peak.

Suddenly, a blaze of fire lit up at a position a few hundred meters from the near summit.

“Kill him!”

Qin Niu prayed in his heart, hoping the Demon Bird would kill that elder.

Screech!

The cry of the Demon Bird came again from the peak.

A figure enveloped in flames screamed as it shot down from the battle site towards the foot of the mountain in haste.

The elder seemed to be overpowered and was already fleeing down the peak at high speed.

judging by the situation, he seemed to have been set ablaze.

“What kind of Demon Bird is this? Even a Spirit Qi Realm expert seems to lose in mere seconds before it. Could it be that a Fire Phoenix really resides on Perching Phoenix Mountain?”

Qin Niu pondered in his heart.

The higher the mountain peak, the colder it is at the summit.

The Fire Phoenix should prefer a hot environment.

This mountain peak was not very tall, after all, it was only around three thousand meters. Perhaps this was why the Fire Phoenix chose to perch within it.

If it were peaks of four to five thousand meters in altitude, the snow at their summits would generally not melt year-round.

If over eight thousand meters, those mountains would almost belong to a world of ice and snow.

Nobody, not even those in the Innate Realm, could easily cross peaks that were eight thousand meters high.

And that’s without considering if there were beasts or Demon Birds blocking the way. Just the cold, the snow, and the strong winds on the peaks were enough to make them a natural barrier.

In the dark of night, the firelight on the mountain flared up again, accompanied by the cry of the Demon Bird.

And the elder’s screams of agony.

“Ah…”

In the silence of the deep mountains, it was especially clear.

Judging by the screams, his injuries were definitely not light.

But the elder was extremely tough and did not die. His body was already on fire; he didn’t bother with putting it out but instead turned into a fire person and ran for his life down the peak without a care for anything else.

Seeing how miserable the elder was, Qin Niu couldn’t help but feel fortunate that he hadn’t recklessly entered the mountain to investigate that day.

If he had been discovered by the Demon Bird, with his Innate Realm cultivation, he probably wouldn’t even have had the chance to run for his life.

“If this man escapes and recovers, he will surely come to settle the score with me. ‘Strike while the enemy is sick, take his life,’ I must use this opportunity to kill him outright.”

Qin Niu was also a ruthless man.

He rarely made a move.

But once his survival was threatened, he would take the risk and strike, striving to eliminate the threat.

Harboring a hope that strong enemies would not come after him was not his style.

He liked to hide his abilities but occasionally, when pushed into a corner, he would take an exciting route and face his opponent in a life-and-death struggle.

Poisonous Ants were a trump card he could currently use.

The elder was seriously injured right now. After escaping the pursuit of the Demon Bird, he would definitely find a place to extinguish the flames and rest for a while.

Qin Niu quickly calculated the elder’s escape route and set up Poisonous Ants in advance.

Despite the large setup, whether they would be able to bite the elder was still unknown.

As long as one successful bite from a Termite was achieved, its potent poison would immediately add injuries to the already injured elder.

The Demon Bird atop the mountain could fly and was extremely angry at the intrusion into its territory.

It pursued the elder fiercely.
