Chapter 132 Trapped
Meng Yueshan shook his head: "I don't think so. Forcibly forcing them can indeed control them in the shortest time, but doing so is tantamount to directly enmity with them, which will greatly affect future relations."
According to the original plan, they would directly seek cooperation with the Iron-backed Bear.
With the excuse of hunting the iron-backed bear, two ninth-level Qi refining experts and a first-level peak monster beast were used to forcibly control everyone.
Then directly force them to use spiritual magic. Those who surrender will be kept, and those who do not will be directly dealt with.
This simple and crude method is definitely more efficient and has a high success rate.
After hesitating for a long time, the two finally gave up on this non-illegal approach.
This kind of behavior is even more egregious than killing people and buying goods. Once they are discovered, the two of them will be ruined and will be regarded as evil cultivators. They will no longer be able to gain a foothold in this area.
And on the other hand, if you use this coercive method to subdue them, even if you use spiritual magic, these rebellious cultivators will probably not obey sincerely.
Even those with a more violent temper would rather die than use secret techniques.
So after careful consideration, the two chose a more troublesome but gentler method.
Let the Purple Demon Wolf Spider tie up the seven people, and then hang them on the cliff deep in the canyon like the living dead before.
Although the toxin of the spider silk is equally effective on Meng Yueshan and the two of them, it will not completely make them lose their resistance.
The two of them turned pale on purpose, and then waited for the others to wake up.
After one day and one night, as the dosage of toxins was gradually reduced, the remaining five people gradually woke up from the coma, but their bodies were extremely weak.
The toxins of first-level peak monsters are extremely deadly to monks at the eighth level of Qi refining.
If the Purple Demon Wolf Spider wanted to kill them, it would definitely not be a difficult task.
"We...where are we?" Xiao Lan opened his eyes in a daze and looked at the surrounding environment feebly.
The rest of the people were the same, looking around in a daze. Under the paralysis of the poison, not only their physical condition was greatly weakened, but their spirits also became sluggish.
Meng Yueshan said calmly: "Everyone, we failed and are now in the lair of the Purple Demon Wolf Spider."
Hearing this, several people who were thinking vaguely showed a trace of despair and panic in their eyes.
Lin Yuan smiled miserably and said, "But don't worry too much, there is good news now."
After hearing this, a glimmer of hope suddenly appeared in his despairing eyes.
Xiao Lan struggled to ask: "What's the good news?"
"Hehe, there are a few brothers in front of us. They should be enough for the Purple Demon Wolf Spider to eat for a few days. We can also take the opportunity to survive for a few more days."
Xiao Lan: "..."
Huang Long smiled bitterly: "Senior, you don't have to be so optimistic..."
Sword cultivator Bai Qiulin frowned and said, "Senior Lin, why are you still joking in this situation? It's better to think of a way as soon as possible to see if there is any way to escape."
"What Bai Qiulin said is true. As nine-level Qi refining experts, don't the two seniors have the means to deal with these two beasts?" Hua Niang asked softly, her pale and haggard face even more gentle and sad.
Lin Yuan still spread his hands indifferently and said carelessly: "What can be done? This big spider is too powerful. It should be more terrifying than the strong man at the ninth level of Qi Refining, and it is only one step away from building the foundation. ”
"Are you just going to sit back and wait for death?"
"That's not impossible. It would be a beautiful thing to be able to die in the same year and month as several beauties."
Although Lin Yuan was hanging upside down, his hands had broken free of the spider silk, and he hugged his head and said.
Seeing how indifferent he looked, everyone didn't believe his words even more.
Xiao Lan softened her tone and said feebly: "Lin Yuan, do you have any solution? Give me an accurate answer!"
"Is this...I don't know, this situation is indeed a bit troublesome..." Lin Yuan said with slight hesitation.
However, it was this attitude that made the other people more and more certain that Lin Yuan must have the ability to escape from here.
Huang Long struggled to twist his body, unable to break free at all, and said with difficulty: "Senior, since you brought us here, you can't leave us alone."
Hua Niang also frowned and said: "Since you two have the means, why are you unwilling to help? Are you going to watch us die here?"
"That's right, or are you doing this on purpose? Do you want to kill someone and seize the treasure?"
Meng Yueshan's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he snorted coldly: "I, Meng Yueshan, walk and sit upright, why do I need to use evil cultivators to kill people and seize treasures?"
"Then why is the senior unwilling to help? Is there any other reason?" Huang Long then asked.
The Hua Niang struck while the iron was hot and said: "Senior, please take action. If you can escape smoothly this time, the Hua Niang will be very grateful and will reward you two with generous gifts."
Seeing that he could not escape, Meng Yueshan looked embarrassed and sighed: "I don't need any reward from my fellow Taoists. I do have a way to escape, but once this method is leaked, it may lead to the disaster of killing. It is really not suitable to be exposed easily. ”
"Senior, does he really have a backup plan?"
There was a hint of surprise in the turbid eyes of several people.
Hua Niang hurriedly said: "Two seniors, feel free to use whatever means you have. We can swear by our Taoist hearts that we will never leak the news."
Meng Yueshan shook his head: "You and I meet by chance, how can we believe it?"
When Lin Yuan saw Meng Yueshan speaking, he no longer concealed it. He spread his hands and said helplessly: "And there is nothing we can do. This thing is very important, and our seniors will not let us be exposed easily."
"senior?!"
Xiao Lan looked at the two of them with doubtful eyes. As they exchanged a few words, the confusion in her heart became deeper and deeper.
Why did Meng Yueshan and Lin Yuan suddenly disappear for more than a year?
Why did they both break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining in just one year?
Xiao Lan knew the talents of the two of them very well. Although they were pretty good in casual cultivation, it was still very difficult to break through the ninth level of Qi refining.
The few conversations just now also brought a lot of doubts to her.
What is the hidden method?
It can actually arouse the covetousness of other monks, and even cause death.
Also, who are the seniors they are talking about?
A series of doubts made Xiao Lan's fuzzy thinking become even more sluggish, and finally he only condensed into one sentence: "Meng Yueshan, Lin Yuan, what are you hiding?"
The two looked at each other, faintly seeing a hint of cunning in each other's eyes.
When the conversation reaches this point, the plan is actually half successful.
Meng Yueshan sighed and roughly explained: "Xiao Lan, it's not that we can hide it from you. A lot of things did happen this year..."
