"Come on, set up the formation first and wait for him to lure the fox bear over!" Shen Lian winked at Tao Ming.
"Okay, I'll be right there!" At this moment, Tao Ming's eyes suddenly became firm, as if he had made up his mind.
On the other side, Chen Changsheng first cast spells such as acceleration and flight on himself, and then came to the vicinity of the cave.
Although the entrance to the cave was dry, a strong fishy smell emanated from the inside, most likely from the remains of wild animals eaten by the fox bear.
Without rushing into the cave, Chen Changsheng shook his hands and more than ten fireballs formed a straight line and shot straight out of the cave. After a while, the sound of explosions was heard...
“Ouch!”
Suddenly, the fox bear who was sleeping in the cave was suddenly awakened by the fireball. It roared, stared with red eyes, and rushed out.
"Wow, such a big fox bear?"
Seeing the fox bear rushing out, Chen Changsheng couldn't help but be surprised...
This fox bear was at least twice his size, and was about five meters tall when standing. Its huge claws slapped directly towards Chen Changsheng's head.
"Stinky bear, come and catch me!"
Chen Changsheng casually cast another fireball at the fox bear.
A low-grade first-level spell wouldn't hurt, but it would be uncomfortable.
Especially in the eyes of the fox bear, Chen Changsheng was only a first-level one, and he actually dared to provoke it, a second-level one. It was simply a fancy way of seeking death!
“Ahhh…”
The angry fox bear first patted Chen Changsheng's chest with its huge claws, and then took big steps and chased after him.
Chen Changsheng was very fast and had been playing with the slightly clumsy fox bear, easily luring it to the designated location.
"The fox bear is coming, quickly activate the formation!" said Chen Changsheng.
"Okay, here I come!"
Tao Ming and Shen Lian activated the formation in unison. Suddenly, a hazy, ochre-colored light barrier appeared, trapping him and the fox bear together...
"You...did you make a mistake? Why did you lock me in here too?"
"Quick, open a hole and let me out!" Chen Changsheng pretended to be panicked.
"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Chen, I'm sorry, I made a mistake, a mistake. Once this formation is activated, we won't be able to control it unless our spiritual power is exhausted. Just have some fun with that fox bear in there!" Shen Lian said with a wicked grin.
"What? You...you guys...I'm trapped in here and can't run away. Do you want me to fight the fox bear alone?" Chen Changsheng said angrily.
"Yes, let's have a one-on-one fight. We believe that with Brother Chen's strength, a mere second-level fox bear is nothing!" Tao Ming said lightly.
"Friend Shen, Friend Tao, you deliberately tricked me out just to harm me, didn't you?" Chen Changsheng said angrily.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, please don't talk nonsense. You were obviously harmed by the fox bear. What does it have to do with us? Now you should just have fun with the fox bear. We will go pick the golden and jade Ganoderma lucidum first!" Shen Lian teased.
From the voice, it can be heard that Shen Lian is in a very good mood at the moment!
Chen Chong, aren’t you a genius?
Aren't you a talisman maker?
Aren't you about to break through the ninth level of Qi training at such a young age and have the hope of building a foundation?
Humph, when you die, all your treasures will be mine, mine!
The fox bear was led out of the cave. At this time, there was no other danger in the cave. Tao Ming and Shen Lian entered the cave side by side. Seeing the golden jade Ganoderma lucidum not far from the cave entrance, they couldn't help but feel excited.
"It's the Golden Jade Ganoderma. That's right, it's the Golden Jade Ganoderma. And looking at the golden lines on it, it's a mature Golden Jade Ganoderma!" Shen Lian's voice began to tremble with excitement...
"Fellow Daoist Shen, the Golden Jade Ganoderma is right in front of us, so you should pick it first!" Tao Ming reminded from the side.
"Picking, yes, we have to pick it now... Golden Jade Ganoderma Lucidum, Fellow Daoist Tao, you go first!" Shen Lian said with a smile.
"Me?" Tao Ming was stunned when he heard that.
"Yes, you come!" Shen Lian nodded.
"Okay, I'll pick it!"
Tao Ming nodded when he heard this, took out the jade box he had prepared in advance, and bent down to pick the golden jade Ganoderma lucidum.
Behind him, Shen Lian stood behind Tao Ming, a chill rising in his heart, and a dagger suddenly appeared in his hand...
"Brother Tao, don't blame me. The Golden Jade Ganoderma can only be exchanged for one Foundation Establishment Pill. How are we going to divide it between you and me?"
“Go to hell!”
Shen Lian held the dagger and stabbed Tao Ming in the back with all his strength...
However, what Shen Lian expected did not happen. A golden light flashed behind Tao Ming in time, blocking the dagger outside the light shield...
"Golden light shield?"
Suddenly, Shen Lian's face darkened...
This Tao Ming also seems to be prepared...
"Brother Shen, what are you doing?"
Tao Ming quickly took the golden jade Ganoderma lucidum away, then turned around and looked at Shen Lian with a gloomy face.
Although he had already guessed it, when Shen Lian really attacked him, Tao Ming still couldn't suppress the anger in his heart...
The two have known each other for decades, and have become good friends and confidants since they were in the middle stage of Qi training!
Decades of friendship, and the result...
"So you are also on guard against me!" Shen Lian said coldly.
"If I hadn't been on guard against you, I would have died just now. Brother Shen, you and I have known each other for more than 20 years, and our friendship is stronger than gold. Is it not as strong as this golden jade Ganoderma lucidum?" Tao Ming said angrily.
"Tao Ming, don't make yourself sound so innocent. If you have nothing to hide, why would you be on guard against me?"
"You and I both know what the Golden Jade Ganoderma Lucidum means. Chen Chong is nothing but a damned ghost. But between you and me, only one person can leave here and take the Golden Jade Ganoderma Lucidum to exchange for the Foundation Establishment Pill!" Shen Lian said lightly.
"You're right. Among the two of us, only one can leave here. You do it!" Tao Ming said with a sneer on his face when he heard that.
"Then let's see what happens... You... My magic power... Tao Ming, you despicable, shameless, filthy thing, when did you poison me?"
Shen Lian, who was about to fight to the death, felt his entire body sore and weak just as he was about to mobilize his magic power. The magic power in his body seemed to be like a quagmire, stagnating in his dantian and unable to be mobilized at all...
A cultivator without magic power is just a mortal!
Just like Song Yingxing who was imprisoned for decades by Emperor Xizong of the Great Zhou Dynasty...
"Poison? This is just a magic-dispelling powder. As long as you don't overuse your magic power, it won't take effect. Besides, after three days, this medicine will be useless."
"I did this just to be on the safe side. You said that human cultivators are the most ungrateful and heartless. As long as you don't attack me, nothing will happen."
"For the sake of our past friendship, I would only take the Golden Jade Ganoderma and spare your life. But now... since our relationship has been torn apart..."
"Brother Shen, don't blame me. Go and keep Chen Chong company. You won't be lonely on the road to the underworld!" Tao Ming said coldly.
"Oh? Really? But why am I not dead yet?"
At this moment, another figure appeared at the cave entrance. Tao Ming and Shen Lian's faces changed drastically...
How could a person who was already doomed to die appear at the entrance of the cave?
