Refining the Mountains and Rivers Chapter 1519

Chapter 1251: Bad Luck Star

So there was something even more terrifying hiding within the black storm. No wonder those bees had run away, not even caring about the prey right near their mouths.

This was the first time Qin Yu saw the mantis-like beast, and the thought that popped into his mind, or more precisely a clear intuition, was that those two saber-like limbs he saw would be extremely, extremely difficult to deal with!

Reality proved Qin Yu’s judgment was correct. With a soft tearing sound, his black robes were torn open and a neat wound appeared on his body. A bit of blood seeped out, accompanied by a slightly numb feeling.

It was poisonous!

Qin Yu frowned. Even with how formidable his body was, he still wasn’t able to fully resist it. It proved just how overbearing and ferocious this poison was.

Fortunately, poison was something he hadn’t feared since many years ago. The numb paralytic feeling began to gradually dissipate.

But on the surface, Qin Yu’s complexion became even uglier. His face darkened and a trace of panic appeared in his eyes.

Across from him, the mantis beast’s eyes surged with blood and the fierce light shined even stronger. As he thought, this thing had intelligence. In other words, Qin Yu’s performance just now wasn’t for nothing.

Having spiritual wisdom and such fierce strength combined into one made this creature much more difficult to deal with. But sometimes, the smarter someone was, the faster they died.

Because while it had enough confidence, it never realized that the prey it targeted at the start had decided to kill it from the very beginning and was already beginning to do so.

The black storm was its home and it had no influence on the mantis-like beast. It flapped its wings, riding along the wind.

Its pitch black forelegs seemed to fuse into the black storm, obtaining a burst of speed. They came and vanished without a trace, leaving one’s heart racing in panic.

Qin Yu did his best to dodge, but more and more wounds appeared on his body. Gradually, a hazy color covered his face. It became difficult to breathe and the blood that soaked his robes started to turn black and emit a rancid smell.

The mantis beast’s blood red eyes started to reveal a dignified look. This seemingly common-looking human possessed a surprising degree of strength.

But within the black storm, even if this human had the power to fight a dragon he still wouldn’t be able to use it. He could only be worn down until he died.

It was almost time. The poison should have invaded this human’s blood and marrow and he should have reached his limits by now. It was time to give him the fatal strike.

Two sharp forelimbs rubbed against each other, causing a splash of sparks. This was a subconscious action done by those from the praying mantis race when they were excited.

It had a premonition that this prey must be delicious. Eating him might even help it break through its limits and allow its strength to rise to a whole new level.

At this moment, Qin Yu was also deep in thought. The play was about to come to an end. If this praying mantis beast attacked again, he really would be poisoned.

After all, detoxifying was always slower than poisoning. If enough poison accumulated in his body from the wounds, it would definitely have an impact over time.

Hum –

Its wings shook like taut bowstrings. Then, they suddenly released and emitted high-pitched buzzing sounds. The praying mantis beast rushed over, its speed faster and its saber-like limbs even faster.

Qin Yu secretly praised the beast. It turns out you were also hiding your strength. As a creature from ancient times, should you be this sinister? But what a pity, when it comes to being ‘sinister’, that is something my human race has never been afraid of!

With a thought, the power of space concentrated into a point and burst out. After losing the protection of space, the slightly rotten wounds on Qin Yu’s body all burst open at once. Flesh and blood spurted out and his face paled.

But what was exchanged for paying this price was that the mantis beast who shot towards him like an arrow suddenly paused.

It seemed to sense some intense crisis. The mantis beast screamed out loud and the vibration speed of its two wings accelerated. Small cracking sounds came from around its body – this was the spatial imprisonment rapidly breaking apart!

After continuing this act for so long, the opportunity he waited for had finally arrived. Qin Yu certainly wouldn’t give it a chance to run away.

But sometimes, no matter how great a plan was, it couldn’t keep up with the changes of time. Just when Qin Yu raised his hand and a silver moon appeared behind him and he was ready to cut down, a figure suddenly rushed out of the black storm and ran straight at him.

Qin Yu almost slashed out with this strike. But at the last moment he forcibly took it back. He grunted and stuffily coughed.

The first sound came from his silver moon sword intent being interrupted, and the second was from being struck by this woman. Did she not look ahead? She knew she was going to run into him and didn’t slow down at all!

Qin Yu was annoyed. He looked down to see Cang Zhu. Her face was pale and panicked. All of her previous haughtiness was gone and she looked like a frightened cat.

Bang –

The spatial imprisonment broke apart. Qin Yu raised his head and saw two mantis beasts gathering in front of him. He couldn’t help but sigh.

Things were troublesome now.

Killing one was difficult enough, let alone two. And since one had already suffered losses, it would obviously be much more difficult to trick them.

He should turn and run. As soon as this thought appeared he pressed it down…he simply couldn’t run away. Within the black storm, the praying mantis beasts could move with ease and comfort. Even if he vomited blood he wouldn’t be able to escape.

If he couldn’t run then he could only go all-out. Looking at the two mantis beasts, he saw an ominous light exploding from their eyes. He thought that the possibility of them ignoring their grievances and peacefully parting ways was slim to none.

“You brought this trouble, is there anything you can do?” Qin Yu furrowed his eyebrows.

Cang Zhu shook her head, flustered. If she had something she could do, would she have run around in a panic?

Qin Yu sneered, “Then I’m sorry, but I can only run away. I hope that these two beasts will be too busy eating to chase after me.”

Cang Zhu’s face paled. In her eyes, the deceitful Qin Yu who kept his depths hidden would undoubtedly be able to do this. She subconsciously hugged Qin Yu tightly, desperately shaking her head as tears came out.

Mm…there seemed to be a deviation from his previous judgment. Although they weren’t particularly large, they were larger than average.

Peh! What time was it to have such thoughts? His mind must be confused by the storm!

Qin Yu restrained his thoughts. He sighed inwardly. Since she was scared to the point of crying, there really was nothing he could do about it. Honestly speaking, this was different from what he expected. Before, he had clearly felt that she and Tan Hai weren’t easy people to deal with.

Sure enough, to be a man was suffering. At the critical moment, he still had to rely on his own efforts to survive. Although it was nice to have the fragrance of jade fill his senses, Qin Yu wasn’t in the mood to enjoy these things.

He reached out a hand and grabbed Cang Zhu. As her eyes filled with horror and panic, he fiercely flung her into the distance, muttering, “Stupid woman, if you don’t run now, are you waiting to die?”

After he finished speaking he rushed out. Since he couldn’t trick them, he could only brace himself and continue. If he took the initiative, he should be able to gain some advantage.

Buzz –

Buzz –

It was the sound of vibrating wings. The two mantis beasts rushed over. As he thought, the target of these two bastards was her.

Qin Yu had already guessed this, even if it was only verified now. Otherwise he wouldn’t have flung Cang Zhu far away.

It wasn’t that he was being merciful towards the beautiful. If she really did qualify as being a buffet dinner for these two, he would have turned and run away.

Bang –

A heaven-shaking sound erupted from the black storm. The shockwaves created by this sent Cang Zhu flying back again before she could steady herself.

She continued rolling around for some time before coming to a stop. With a pale face, she bit her lips and looked into the distance where the terrifying shockwaves of battle were erupting. That man was fighting against two of those praying mantis beasts.

He was indeed strong, much stronger than she imagined. But the environment of the black storm was too poor. Would he be able to survive?

Cang Zhu had no idea. But she felt as if she had misread him. He didn’t seem as deceitful or loathsome as she first thought.

She drew a deep breath and left. She had to find Tan Hai as soon as possible. Since over half of her strength was still sealed away, she didn’t have the ability to protect herself.

Of course, there was still another thought hidden in her heart. If she could find Tan Hai, perhaps there would be enough time to save Qin Yu’s life.

Whoosh –

Cang Zhu’s form vanished within the black storm.
