Chapter 375: Counter-Ambush

along the way, several familiar people greeted him, but he only nodded and briefly chatted in a perfunctory manner.Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!Yu Da Yue is now in cha...Faced with a two-pronged attack, the cultivator surnamed Bao was unable to withstand it alone and quickly showed signs of defeat. In the end, he had nowhere to escape and wanted to commit suicide, but it was too late, and he was captured alive.

Kong Xin's eyes gleamed green, like a wolf pouncing on its prey. In the terrified gaze of the cultivator surnamed Bao, he bit down on his neck, and a strange 'glug glug' sound came from his throat. Warm blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth and dripped onto the ground, staining it crimson.

The blood was glaring.

The Bao surname cultivator's pupils gradually dilated, eventually losing their luster. The essence blood in his body was sucked dry by Kong Xin, leaving behind a withered corpse.

Seeing Kong Xin sprawled over the corpse of the cultivator surnamed Bao, greedily sucking blood with a frenzied look, the black-robed man's heart was filled with a chill, secretly wary.

Kong Xin raised his head, extending his crimson tongue to lick the blood from the corner of his mouth, a look of lingering satisfaction on his face. The ferocity in his eyes subsided, and the pallor of his complexion regained a tinge of color.

He furrowed his brows, drawing all the demonic energy within him. He transformed back into an innocent and harmless appearance once more.

The man in black chuckled, "Friend Kong, you've hidden yourself well! This old man has been wandering around Wuya Valley for so many years, only knowing that Friend Kong's reputation is excellent. Among those who do the guiding business, his reputation is the best, known by all. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, this old man would have racked his brains and still wouldn't have guessed that Friend Kong actually cultivates a demonic technique that devours the blood essence of others."

"Hmph! Kong usually only needs demonic beast blood. If not for Kong being careless this time and urgently needing the essence blood of a Foundation Establishment cultivator to heal his wounds, how could he be colluding with you, demon!" Kong Xin said disdainfully.

The man in black robes sneered, “I’ve only killed a few people. How can that compare to Daoist Kong swallowing blood fresh from living beings If others saw how you were lapping up blood just now, I doubt anyone would think I'm the more monstrous one. Since Daoist Kong is also one of us demon cultivators, why don't we continue working together and make a few more deals”

"Impossible!"

Kōng Xīn resolutely shook his head, "This situation is special. First, Kōng was injured and needed pure blood, and then the cold gold vein was discovered. It's a double win, so Kōng took the risk of ruining his reputation and brought in a few casual cultivators as scapegoats! This coincided with the initial disturbances in Wúyá Gǔly, and it's understandable that there were accidents within the valley. However, if this happens too often, it won't always be mistaken for an accident. Those old foxes in the trading guilds will definitely see through it. This is a one-time event, and we won't do it again!"

The black-robed man scoffed. "Friend Kong, with your talents, why bother fawning over those old fossils What's the harm in being exposed At worst, we'll follow me into the Wuyag Valley and become true demons. Wouldn't that be more enjoyable"

You don't know a thing!

Kong Xin gave him a look of disdain, kicked the corpse with his foot, took the mustard seed bag into his palm, and without looking back, threw it to the man in black.

Then, he shot out a wisp of spiritual fire, burning all traces to ashes.

"According to the rules, the next person's pouch is mine," Kong Xin looked around, "Let's go! We must destroy the tiger-wing sculpture's nest before the two Taoists arrive and lure the tiger-wing sculpture away. That woman is alone, she's not in a hurry. Those two Taoists are not good people. If we miss this opportunity, it will be very difficult to get them without any harm."

>

The man in black held onto the bag of seeds tightly, not putting it away. He looked at Kong Xin playfully, "Suddenly, I feel that the rules we set before were a bit hasty."

Kong Xin's face suddenly darkened, and he asked, "What do you mean"

According to Kong Dao's words, if they are true, that Qingfeng Taoist's flying sword is extraordinary. It's probably worth more than two or three top-grade artifacts.

Well, these people's fortunes are about the same anyway. A little loss is nothing to me.

Who would have thought that a mere wandering cultivator could possess such a treasure

"Although I ventured into the depths of the cave at great personal risk to lure the demon lord, my efforts proved futile. Nevertheless, I endured hardship and contributed to the cause."

"Comrades, just take the best treasure directly. What if the rest of the things can't even catch up to that flying sword Old man would have to split everything equally with you, wouldn't that be a huge loss"

The Robed Man moved with both emotion and reason, finally saying: “Cold Gold Mine Mother, 70% will still belong to Kong Daoyou. The rest of the things will be divided equally between you and me. Otherwise, this old man's heart won't feel comfortable. If I accidentally lose in a duel and fail to leave any living witnesses for Daoyou to devour blood essence, don’t blame me.”

Kǒng Xīn glared angrily, the man in black calmly bore Kǒng Xīn's furious gaze, unmoved.

"Good!"

Kong Xin gritted his back teeth, "As you wish!"

The hooded figure laughed heartily, opened the pouch of the Bao surname cultivator, and took everything out, laying it on the ground. He said generously: "Friend Daoist, choose first!"

Kōng Xīn let out a cold snort, glanced casually, took the lump of frigid gold ore, erected a teleportation light, and soared away.

The Dark Robe Man didn't mind Kong Xin's attitude, collected the remaining things, and followed closely behind.

The earth was cracked and dry, with no grass or trees growing. It was desolate and barren.

In the depths of the mountains, dozens of giant birds circled above the peaks. These angry birds, when they spread their wings, were over ten zhang long, and the patterns on their feathers resembled tiger stripes very closely.

This roar wasn't like a bird call, it was coming from them! The demonic beast, the Tiger Winged Griffin!

The Black Robes and Kong Xin arrived quietly, staring at the Tiger Wing Griffin's nest and the shadowy mountain behind it, where Huanglong Grass grew.

"Well, I left them a long way to go. Those two Taoists haven't arrived yet. Let's find a place to hide first..."

Kong Xin searched around, finding nothing unusual near the nest or on the mountain. His expression eased slightly.

Unbeknownst to them, as soon as Kong Xin's voice fell, a sudden sound erupted from behind them.

"Kong Dao, are you looking for us"

>

At this time, the only ones who could be ambushing here are Qin Sang and Yun Youzi.

Within the vast and intricate Wuyagu Valley, countless trackers roamed its depths. It was uncertain just how many there were. Their presence could attract the attention of powerful forces from the Demon Gate, who preferred to remain uninvolved. However, they also feared repercussions if someone perceived them as a threat.

After parting ways with Kongxin, the two discussed and decided to first lurk near the Tiger Wing's sculpture nest.

Firstly, the road ahead is fraught with danger and there are few opportunities to rest. Now we should focus on getting our state back to peak condition.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Secondly, I am also holding a mindset of watching and waiting.

>If the other party is not coming for them, it's best to stay out of their way.

If the other party sets their sights on them, there's no escape. No matter who the opponent is, or their strength, they must be killed!

Although their true objective was not to harvest Huang Longcao, the location was close to the second layer, and the other party might guess their intentions.

This is a tricky one! It looks like you're asking me to:1. **Extract text** from within the HTML tags ``. 2. **Translate that extracted text into English**.3. **Return only the translated English text**, keeping the original HTML tags in place.Let me know if this is correct! If so, please provide the content between the tags and I'll be happy to translate it for you.

If the opponent ambushes them while they are crossing the ancient barrier, it will be a big trouble.

Having evaded Kong Xin and the others' gaze, Yun Youzi took out his Lingzhu flying boat. The two of them steered the boat, traveling at a speed far exceeding Kong Xin's expectations, and arrived near the Tiger Wing Carved Nest early.
