Rainbow Moon Seeking Immortality.

Chapter 416 Catching the Thief
Western Desert, Green Ghost Desert

At this moment, Qin Yiguan was hanging high above the head of the Claw Ghost Winged Lion, witnessing it fighting with another ancient soul beast and biting each other.

After nearly a week of eating lavishly, the Green-clawed Ghost-winged Lion has become radiant and energetic. Its two ghost wings are full and powerful, attracting many wild soul poisonous insects to parasitize it, and its combat power has been restored to its original state.

The ancient soul beast in front of him had a tiger head, a dog body, and a wolf tail, and its appearance was extremely strange.

It stretched out its limbs, dragged its mountain-like body, and pounced straight over, waving its sharp blue claws violently.

Roar--

The Green-clawed Ghost-winged Lion took the opportunity to calmly open its mouth, revealing its neatly arranged fangs. It seized the opportunity, raised its head and bit the right claw of the tiger-headed ancient soul beast in one fell swoop.

Then, the bitten right claw was sucked into the stomach of the Green-clawed Ghost-winged Lion. Its stomach and intestines could not digest humans or animals because it feeds on souls.

The tiger-headed ancient soul beast cried out in pain and whimpered immediately after losing its right claw. The wound took a long time to heal and it began to walk with a limp.

On the other hand, the Green-clawed Ghost-winged Lion looked as if it had just eaten an appetizer and was still not satisfied.

Qin Yiguan saw this and savored it in secret.

What the Green-clawed Ghost-winged Lion just displayed was the innate instinct of its own race, just like the breath of a dragon.

It is also because of this that the Green Clawed Ghost-Winged Lion is able to restrain the Soul Path, and the Ghost Demon Lord also uses this to develop the Soul-Devouring Technique.

In addition to directly increasing one's own soul foundation, the Soul Devouring Technique can also seize other cultivation memories and experiences. Although it cannot directly improve the realm of the school like dreams, after years of accumulation and development, quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes, which can also help to bring about the improvement of the realm of the school.

(Note 1)

Qin Yi Guan was quite envious of this technique, and now it might be an opportunity to subdue the Green Clawed Ghost Winged Lion.

Perhaps he could rely on observing and figuring out the key to the Green Claw Ghost-Winged Lion's innate instincts while controlling it, and thus acquire similar means?
He knew that his Taoist school's level was a little lacking, but there was no rush and he could just take it slow.

While he was thinking, the Green Clawed Ghost Winged Lion had already completed the slaughter of the tiger-headed ancient soul beast, leaving behind a soul core as big as a carriage.

Eighth-turn immortal material, ancient soul core!
Soul cores come in different sizes. The soul cores of ordinary soul beasts are only the size of rice grains, and they become as big as eggs when they reach the sixth level. The soul cores of the seventh level are larger, and the soul cores of the ancient soul beasts at the eighth level are as big as carriages.

The Green-clawed Ghost-winged Lion squatted in front of the ancient soul core, raised its head and looked up, staring at Qin Yiguan in the sky.

It is quite intelligent, and after these days of training, it has already understood that the human sent it here just for these delicious and sweet soul cores. Fortunately, it will be rewarded for its hard work.

Qin Yiguan grabbed in the air, and the ancient soul core slowly flew towards him.

After a rough inspection, he put it into the immortal orifice.

Of course, he did not forget to take out a millstone-sized Seventh Revolution Soul Core from his immortal orifice as a reward, and threw it to the Green Claw Ghost Wing Lion for it to enjoy.

This is also part of the play!
It is already quite difficult to control the ancient wild beast Green Claw Ghost Wing Lion. If one can gradually reach some kind of tacit understanding with it, it will undoubtedly help to greatly reduce the frequency of activating the Soul-pulling Immortal Gu, which is the main means, especially under the premise that the Soul-pulling Immortal Gu is only half-full for the time being.

In addition, the consumption of immortal energy is also a concern.

The white lychee immortal essence that he had given to the formation spirit before was about to be exhausted in these days. The consumption of the immortal-level Gu formation was no less than that of the immortal Gu house.

Killing an ancient soul beast will get you a seventh-level soul core, and killing an ancient soul beast will get you a sixth-level soul core. This is obviously the preliminary consensus reached by the Green Claw Ghost Wing Lion and Qin Yiguan.

The Green-clawed Ghost-winged Lion might have some opinions, but he would definitely not suffer any loss.

It is precisely because of such an ancient wild beast acting as a thug that the number of soul cores accumulated in his own immortal orifice has become considerable. There are several ancient soul cores, so there is basically no need to worry in the short term.

Qin Yiguan waved gently towards the Green Clawed Ghost Winged Lion who stood up and prepared to continue looking for soul beasts to kill.

'return!'

It immediately understood, looked around reluctantly, and then flew back to the second fairy orifice.

Qin Yiguan immediately changed direction and flew towards the outskirts of the Qinggui Desert.

“Not only did we feed the Green Claw Ghost Wing Lion, but we also harvested a considerable number of soul cores. We can now set off to the Mo Family Sand Wolf City to search for the Heaven Stealing Demon Lord’s true teachings. This will probably take some time, and after doing one more job, we can set off back. Time is really not enough… huh?!”

suddenly!

Qin Yiguan raised his eyebrows, and the reconnaissance methods he had been using allowed him to once again discover a familiar figure outside the Qinggui Desert.

"You are so patient!" He raised a sneer, "The timing was not right before, and I didn't have time to deal with you. Now that you are still here, I will not be polite!"

With a thought, he completely left the Green Ghost Desert and leisurely landed on an unnamed sand dune, where he sat cross-legged with a restrained mind and a happy expression, as if he was counting the gains of this trip.

------

Deep in the sand, Linghu Xu had a troubled look on his face, and his mind was occasionally looking towards the famous dangerous place in the Western Desert, the Qinggui Desert.

"Why hasn't this guy come out yet? Could he really be trapped in there?"

Some time ago, the news that a wealthy Beiyuan rank 7 Gu Immortal had come to the Western Desert spread throughout the Western Desert Gu Immortal World, and Linghu Xu naturally knew about this.

As a Gu Immortal who had grown up as a thief and specialized in stealing, he knew the importance of finding the right target. Such a big 'fat sheep' with a lot of money and a lot of immortal materials was really hard to come by.

Therefore, after the other party left the Colorful Cave, he had been following him secretly. Even if the other party disguised his breath and appearance, he could recognize him.

And because of the opponent's strength, they were very far away, for fear of alerting the enemy, and the other party didn't seem to notice them.

He first followed the man and squatted in the Shocking Desert for a while, fearing that the other party had someone to lead him, so he didn't dare to go too deep. Then he followed him to the Green Ghost Desert.

At this point, he was very sure that the other party was most likely here to explore and hunt soul beasts.

But after waiting for almost a week, there was still no sign of the man, and Linghu Xu couldn't help but wonder if the other party had died in the mouth of the ancient wild beast.

During this time, he did think about turning around and leaving, but every time he thought of the other party's huge wealth, he became envious and chose to continue lurking.

Just as Linghu Xu's patience was running out, Qin Yiguan appeared in his sight again.

"Damn it! He finally came out." Linghu Xu suppressed his dissatisfaction and restrained his breath, fearing that the other party would notice and wait for an opportunity to follow him.

However, under Linghu Xu's gaze, Qin Yiguan slowly landed on a sand dune and sat cross-legged, as if he was counting his harvest.

"Since he was able to escape from the Blue Ghost Desert unscathed, he must be quite powerful. Is it really wise for me to steal his things?"

Suddenly, such a thought emerged in Linghu Xu's mind, making him hesitate for a moment.

But the next second, this thought was suddenly shattered by an invisible force, and was replaced by countless thoughts filled with greed, which interfered with his decision.

"I'll just steal and run. With my life-saving skills, as long as the other party doesn't react immediately, I can get away with it!"

With the expectation of getting the immortal material, Linghu Xu gritted his teeth and quietly touched it.

Everything was very peaceful. The other party was just like the other Gu Immortals he had attacked before. They were immersed in the matters at hand and were completely unaware and clueless.

"Yes, that's it... slowly... slowly..."

Swish!
In an instant, a curtain of color swept around, and countless firefly-like light spots appeared out of thin air, dotted the sky, and flew around in disorder.

The sky is no longer the azure blue sky under the bright sunshine, but is filled with densely packed bright stars, each of which symbolizes a star.

A starry light path appeared under Linghu Xu's feet, stretching out.

At the same time, a huge pillar of starlight was cast down, like a spotlight, shining precisely on the top of his head.

'Were you discovered?!'

With only this one thought flashing through his mind, countless star thoughts rushed into his mind along the starlight, invading his mind like a surging tide, attacking the thoughts that were relatively vulnerable.

If he was a 7th rank wisdom Gu Immortal like Gong Liangbai, he might be able to use the wisdom immortal killing move to resist the offensive of thoughts in his mind, counter one or two, and fight when the opportunity arises.

If he was the seventh-turn Flame and Thunder Immortal Zombie, who had mastered the complete inheritance of the Way of Wisdom and possessed certain means of the Way of Wisdom, he could also hold the situation in a stalemate and give himself some breathing space.

However, he is neither.

His name was Linghu Xu, and he was only a rank six Gu Immortal, and his main discipline was the way of stealing, which had nothing to do with the way of wisdom.

Linghu Xu was helpless in the face of the thoughts that were like waves hitting the beach and seemed to have completely lost their defenses.

But this does not mean that he chooses to sit back and do nothing.

In an instant, Linghu Xu decided to give it a try.

He used all of his remaining thoughts to call upon the poisonous insects in his immortal orifices, arranged them in order, formed a killing move of immortal way, and launched it brazenly.

This was the method he used most in his life, and it was also by relying on it that he could repeatedly steal countless immortal materials and treasures from other Gu Immortals and return with a full load.

Because of this, he was most skilled and easy in activating it. It almost became an instinct, deeply imprinted in Linghu Xu's bones, so that at this critical moment when his life was at stake, he once again chose to believe in it.

When he felt the mad consumption of the Green Grape Immortal Essence in his Immortal Aperture, the intensity was even more serious than the time when he stole the ancient wild plant from the fat lady.

'As long as I can steal the opponent's core Immortal Gu or life Immortal Gu, everything will be fine...'

Finally, the bright star thoughts completely occupied Linghu Xu's mind.

It can no longer mobilize a thought, or call upon even an ordinary Gu. It is like a puppet without a soul, a veritable walking corpse.

But the immortal killer move that had been successfully activated had taken effect, but the result... was no longer important.

------

The scorching sun of the Western Desert once again enveloped the land, but some people could no longer be seen.
