Grandmaster's hands had at some unknown moment already produced two gauze masks, first handing one to Sai Joshi, and subsequently put the other on his face.
Sai Joshi subconsciously brought up the gauze mask, eyes unblinkingly fixed on Mr. Hog's actions. Following that one thunderous sound, he only saw a yellow light cover suddenly release, as powerful as a thunderbolt, the six ten year hell wolves were all completely covered within.
The six hell wolves' bodies, under Mr. Hog's attack were flung up like broken burlap sacks, immediately plunging down more than ten metres away, with two hell wolves' waists smashing against tree trunks, howling pitifully, but unable to rise.
The several other wolves on the ground rolled about briefly. Sai Joshi relied on Purple Heavenly Eye to clearly see, from those hell wolves' mouths fresh blood was flowing, he could see how powerful the shockwave had been. Following a short period of wuu wuu sounds, other than the two hell wolves on the ground unable to rise, the several others had quickly run away.
Grandmaster at this time still did not neglect to instruct Sai Joshi,
"Wolves and dogs bodies are very alike in structure, called 'copper head, iron bones, weak waist', the waist is their bodies' weakest vital part."
While speaking, Grandmaster stepped forward with big steps, at some point he had drawn a short knife, cutting the necks of the two unmoving hell wolves, spreading more realgar on the bodies, covering the smell of blood.
"Look, spirit rings are about to appear."
At Grandmaster's warning, Sai Joshi started taking note. Following the death of the two ten year hell wolves, from the body gradually rose a ring of faint white light, the rings rippling like mist in the emptiness overhead, as if they could drift away at any time.
"This is a spirit ring, these were killed by me, so if my spirit power had just achieved the advancement requirements, right now could I could absorb these spirit rings to attain the advancement objective. The specific method, is to use my spirit power to draw the spirit ring to my body, and immediately after that begin meditation, absorbing the energy of the spirit ring."
Faint blue light rose from Grandmaster's hand, beckoning towards one of the spirit rings that emerged from the hell wolves, that spirit ring already floated over, circling about Grandmaster's body. But it did not permeate.
"My current spirit power is not sufficiently advanced, therefore, the spirit ring can't be absorbed by me. Within two hours, it will disperse on its own. Little Sai, hand me two white radishes."
"Oh."
Sai Joshi fumbled at his waist, drawing out two white radishes from 32 Moons and handing them to Grandmaster.
Grandmaster offhandedly tossed them towards Mr. Hog, who, following a burst of excited luoluo sounds, gulped down the two radishes with lightning speed.
"Variant spirits' characteristics already cannot be understood like ordinary spirit theory. Mr. Hog can rely on eating food to reduce my spirit power consumption. But for its only three attacks, every time one attack is used it must immediately replenish."
"Does Mr. Hog only eat white radish?"
Sai Joshi asked.
Grandmaster gave him a pained look, saying:
"You saw, Mr. Hog attacks by farting, if not for bringing up gauze masks, perhaps right now you already could not endure the smell. Spirit beasts similarly cannot stand it, therefore those hell wolves fled quickly. White radish, with regard to hastening flatulence there are few foods that can compare. With two to replenish, in approximately half the time, Mr. Hog can recover what is spent in one attack."
This also worked? Sai Joshi wanted to laugh a bit, but seeing in Grandmaster's eyes a trace of bitterness, he did not dare let laughter escape. He could imagine how possessing this kind of spirit that attacked by farting, among spirit masters, was a very embarrassing matter. With Grandmaster's proud temperament, how could his heart feel comfortable?
"Luoluo, luoluo, luoluo… .."
As in a moment hurried calls abruptly rose, the bitterness in Grandmaster's eyes was immediately replaced by a cold light, and he pulled at Sai Joshi's hand.
All around suddenly grew quiet, and a slight rustling sound clearly reached Sai Joshi's ears, vaguely. The air seemingly became somewhat stinking, the stink was not at all strong, even with a touch of sweetness and tea fragrance.
Sai Joshi's nose wiggled, subconsciously blurting out,
"There's poison."
Grandmaster's right hand waved, this time, the two rings of light on his body completely moved over to encase Mr. Hog, vigilantly looking in the direction of the rustling sound,
"Tonight is unexpectedly this unquiet."
The rustling sound came to an end. Sai Joshi pushed his Mysterious Heaven Kally skill, working his Purple Heavenly Eye to the limit, looking in that direction. Indistinctly, he seemingly saw a dark green triangular snake head held up in a shrub, a pair of ruby like little eyes looking straight in their direction. Perhaps fearing the effect of the realgar powder, it did not continue to approach.
"Teacher, there."
Sai Joshi raised a finger in the direction of the snake head's location. Right now was already too late for Grandmaster to think about why Sai Joshi could see a place his eyes still could not reach. With lightning speed he drew out a flare from the wrist spirit tool and tossed it in that direction.
The flare already ignited in the wind, rolling and illuminating the area, and this time grandmaster also saw the snake head. Mouth inhaling a mouthful of cool air.
"It's a datura snake, why would this kind of ferocious fellow appear on the outskirts of Spirit Hunting Forest. Hope it's a ten year."
Siisi, siisi, as if infuriated by the flare, the snake head slowly rose, issuing siisi sounds towards Mr. Hog. But the realgar powder deterrent still existed, and it still did not advance.
Grandmaster said in a low voice:
"Datura Snake's venom is extremely potent, it has not only a paralysing effect, but also causes powerful damage to the body's nerves. It's one of the most terrible among poison attribute spirit beasts. Its body is extremely tough, difficult to hurt with common sabres, its mouth and eyes are the only weak points. But datura snakes are very good at consistently protecting these two places, its speed is also incomparably fast. Most frightening is its aggressive character. Encountering humans it will practically always launch an attack. Realgar powder may not be able to restrain it for long, it's waiting for an opportunity."
