Starting From A Fisherman To Cultivate Immortality And Live Forever

Chapter 83: Dark clouds press down on the city, threatening to destroy it!

Dark clouds press down on the city, threatening to destroy it.

As the alarm bell rings.

On the walls of the Golden Sparrow City, a large number of warriors and city defense soldiers are moving as many crossbows as possible up onto the walls.

On several large platforms on the walls.

There are even large catapults being assembled on site.

These large war machines are difficult to maintain, and in order to save money, it has always been troublesome to arrange and assemble important components on site.

As the war weapons become more and more dense, the soldiers watching them gain some confidence in their eyes.

However, Su Ping knows that these war weapons are only providing some psychological comfort to the ordinary people in the city.

If the opponents are really adult monsters equivalent to the late stage of Qi Refining.

Whether it is crossbow arrows or catapults, they are simply too slow. If they can't keep up with the opponent's speed, their power is useless.

Under normal circumstances, when monsters attack the city, they can only rely on the combined efforts of scattered cultivators and warriors to fight to the death.

All the current arrangements are only to buy time for the wealthy families to delay and hide.

These monsters cannot stay in one place for a long time. If they can timely run into places like cellars, there is still a chance to survive.

"Why do these monsters come over? Clearly, I never actively provoke you!"

"Doing something for the immortal sect, I don't need it now!"

"But! Why do you still come to disturb my fishing business!"

Su Ping inspected the city defense, and just his appearance greatly boosted the morale and confidence of the soldiers and the people. He appeared calm on the surface.

But in his heart, because of the constant connection with the spirit mice Little White and Little Grey, he discovered the movements of those monsters in advance.

These monsters, shuttling through the mountains, forests, and rivers, have already entered the territory of the Golden Sparrow City.

And from the nodes where the scattered mice discovered their traces, Su Ping deduced.

These monsters, divided into three routes, are not targeting the Nine Leaf Mountain Market, but this Golden Sparrow City, the Lin Yue Manor on the outskirts of the city!

On one hand, Su Ping was annoyed that these monsters were bullying the weak and afraid of the strong, not attacking more cultivators in the market, but coming to find him, a supervisor in the mortal realm.

It was obvious that they were bullying a lonely cultivator, which was truly disrespectful to the monsters' principles!

On the other hand, he was somewhat fortunate that he had contracted with the spirit mice Little White and Little Grey.

Relying on their innate talents and supernatural powers to control the group of mice, he achieved the ability to gather intelligence on the surrounding areas that even a Foundation Building cultivator might not be able to achieve!

Not only because mice are inconspicuous in most areas, common enough, and can cast a wide net to compensate for their individual abilities with quantity.

More importantly, these controlled mice are under the mental control of Little White and Little Grey, and they themselves do not emit any spiritual fluctuations!

This makes them almost invisible to cultivators and monsters!

Even the spirit birds that can fly in the sky cannot compare to this advantage.

Especially for the invading monsters, they are more sensitive to demonic energy. Once they discover the appearance of a spirit bird in the sky, they will immediately realize that they have been discovered.

How could it be like now, even if they accidentally step on and kill one or two controlled mice.

Also completely unaware that his whereabouts had long been exposed to others!

"Battle cannot break out near the Linyue Manor!"

"If Linyue Lake is damaged and the fishing spot becomes ineffective... it would not be worth it!"

"Although I don't know if the terrain will be affected after the formation of the fishing spot, it is better to be cautious and not take this risk!"

"Even if I am curious about this issue in the future, I will have to wait until there are more fishing spots and experiment with those fishing spots that are of no use for special fish."

"The Red Blood Rainbow Carp is related to my holy body, nothing can happen to it!"

Su Ping no longer wasted time and, after boosting morale, went straight towards one of the monster beasts.

Just in case, Su Ping exchanged for life spirit medicine and purification spirit medicine.

There were also teleportation runes and strange tree seeds hidden in his sleeves.

Su Ping was confident that even if a Foundation Building expert came, they would not be able to deny him the chance to escape.

After all, which Foundation Building expert would expect a Qi Refining mid-stage cultivator like him to have so many life-saving items and be prepared in advance?

Boom!

In the mountain forest about a kilometer away from the official road, accompanied by the sound of thunder in the sky.

A six-meter-tall long-armed giant ape suddenly paused in mid-air, and a burst of blood blossomed from its chest as it fell from the high sky.

"Roar!"

The giant ape immediately bounced back up as soon as it landed.

But it was still hit on the left leg, and a bowl-shaped wound appeared on its thick leg muscles.

"You despicable human!"

The giant ape growled lowly, its roar filled with grievance and anger.

As one of the outstanding Qi Refining late-stage monster beasts.

This giant ape had actually discovered Su Ping hiding in the treetops.

Feeling Su Ping's vigorous blood and energy, the giant ape immediately felt that this was a human cultivator who was not weaker than itself.

Deep down, it had long been tired of slaughtering those weak ants, and its blood boiled with excitement.

It naively thought that the other party, as a cultivator, had come alone to wait for it.

Surely, they were going to have a thrilling one-on-one battle between cultivators!

But it didn't expect!

This despicable human cultivator actually took advantage of its close proximity, leaped high in the air without any leverage, and used a strange weapon to launch a sneak attack!

This was definitely not the life-and-death duel between cultivators that it had expected!

Facing the anger of the giant ape, Su Ping remained silent, only continuously pulling the trigger of the heavy sniper rifle, aiming and firing at a distance of one hundred meters.

With the leg injury of the giant ape and facing bullets traveling at four times the speed of sound, as well as Su Ping's senses no weaker than its own, it had no chance to dodge.

In just a few seconds, the giant ape's head and chest were hit multiple times and fell to the ground seemingly lifeless.

Su Ping looked at the fallen giant ape, hesitated for half a second, and then fired again, revealing the giant ape's brain that was exposed on the ground.

The giant ape with an open mind suddenly twitched all over its body, then slowly stopped trembling.

Su Ping finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sure enough, even one of the most impulsive beast races is cunning and unpredictable."

"And, the vitality of these beasts is simply unimaginable. I must have at least shattered their hearts with those shots just now."

Su Ping muttered to himself, but still didn't put down the sniper rifle. Little White and Little Grey, the spirit mice hidden in his sleeves, made faint squeaking sounds.

In the mountains and forests, several large rats emerged from the ground and rushed to the body of the giant ape. Unable to bite through its fur, they began to follow the suggestion and search for its weak spots.

Su Ping waited for a minute before confirming one hundred percent that the giant ape with an open mind was dead.

Only then did he walk over quickly, cut the giant ape into pieces, and store them in several storage bags.

He put a piece of dried beast meat in his mouth, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it to restore his energy.

Then, he closed his eyes and observed the routes of other beasts through the group of mice. Su Ping set off quickly towards another group of beasts.

There were two beasts in the second group. When they passed by a village in the mountains, they conveniently solved their food problem there.

By the time Su Ping arrived, the two beasts had just satisfied their hunger and noticed each other at the same time.

They were two wolf beasts, both over three meters tall and seven to eight meters long.

However, their strength and spiritual power fluctuations were much weaker than the lone giant ape from before.

Su Ping suspected that the giant ape might have been the strongest among the attacking beasts this time.

But this didn't make Su Ping let his guard down.

Su Ping originally planned to use the same trick and shoot when the wolf beasts leaped.

But he found that the other side didn't play fair either and spewed out wind blades from their mouths!

Su Ping chuckled and quickly retreated into the dense forest.

The wind blades struck the ground, leaving several grooves before dissipating.

Su Ping, who possessed one-fifth of a Saint's body, ran so fast that the two wolf beasts, who were ready to chase, suddenly stopped in their tracks.

"So fast!"

"This human's physical cultivation is not simple!"

"There's something wrong with the dense forest, we shouldn't go in too deep!"

Amidst the astonishment of the wolf beasts, they instinctively prepared to retreat.

Seeing that the two wolf beasts refused to come in, Su Ping could only sigh and raise a pair of automatic rifles in his hands.

You thought it would be fine if you didn't enter the dense forest?

Hah! You're naive. In fact, the moment I appeared, you were already within the range of firearms!

The sound of gunfire echoed in the dense forest!

The wolf beasts sensed the danger, their hair stood on end, and they leaped up suddenly.

But they didn't expect that Su Ping was waiting for them to leap.

The muzzle kept firing, continuously shooting, and Su Ping's reflexes kept up with the wolf beasts.

Bullets with the full force capable of penetrating a five-millimeter steel plate struck these demon wolves in their abdomen and lower legs.

Although the wounds were not deep, the breach in their defenses caused them to howl in pain and fall to the ground, where they were subsequently hit by more bullets.

Su Ping finished firing the bullets and let go of the rifle with both hands, allowing it to fall freely to the ground.

The spirit mice, Little White, Little Grey, stood up from the ground and immediately caught the rifle that had run out of ammunition.

The demon wolves stared fiercely at Su Ping, thinking that this guy's strange weapon must have run out of bullets.

They were dumbfounded when they saw that the detestable body cultivator had actually pulled out a larger, pitch-black metal stick and aimed it at them!

One of the injured demon wolves, despite its severe injuries, tried to escape.

Bang!

The sound of a heavy sniper rifle rang out.

Bang, bang!

One shot, followed by another!

Like a funeral bell, it played the requiem for the village behind the demon wolves.

With an open mind, then beheading, and finally collecting the remains in the storage bag as materials!

After collecting the corpses of the demon wolves, Su Ping looked at the lifeless village, shook his head slightly, and remembered the place before leaving.

All he could do now was to inform the Lord's Mansion in Golden Sparrow City of the location when he returned to the city and let them handle the aftermath.

Hopefully, the artifacts that these demon wolves had no interest in could be counted and handed over to their descendants.

A second confrontation with mid-stage Qi Refining demonic beasts.

Although he relied on a little help from his weapons to gain an advantage.

Su Ping still keenly realized that his current physical qualities were even faster and stronger than these demonic beasts.

This was also a major reason why he could exert the advantage of his weapons!

"So, I'm already this strong. These mid-stage Qi Refining demonic beasts that have caused so much trouble and made the Inspectorate work tirelessly... I actually think they're... just like this?"

Su Ping raced to the side of a small river.

Then, he transformed into a fisherman and started fishing after setting up his fishing spot.

He was still using a baitless fishing hook.

With the heavy sniper rifle resting on his shoulder, he appeared harmless.

In the river, the last group of demonic beasts that invaded Golden Sparrow City, two mountain spirits, were swimming upstream.

Mountain spirits were similar to large monkeys with a snow-white body, but their bodies were slightly longer and their faces and noses were quite large.

When they bite, they can directly swallow an adult's head.

They thought they were being elusive and had a little cleverness, relying on their ability to hold their breath to try to dive and launch a surprise attack.

However, they didn't know that when they entered the water upstream, they had already been discovered by the big rat that was gnawing on fruits nearby.

Realizing that their target was clearly Su Ping, who was in the Linyue Lake, they simply ran back to the upstream bank of Linyue Lake and transformed into a fisherman to start fishing!
