The Great Wild God - Chapter 212
Chapter 212 Heavenly Yao
Walking down the stone ridge, the disciples of Mount Qiyun in the valley opened up a path through the bushes that were as dense as a carpet.
Seeing the broken branches oozing black sap, Chen Xun was sure that this mountain range had been polluted by demons for a long time.
When Chen Xun and Li Yu entered Tu Shan, they encountered an alienated thorn snake that devoured blood. When they saw a human beast, they went berserk and ordered Chen Xun to kill them all with his sword. Not a single thorn snake retreated.
However, when the thousands of flying demonic rats saw the Nine Phases Spirit Flag’s illusionary Kui Long Dharma Form, they actually retreated into the deep valley. This made Chen Xun both shocked and suspicious.
It was highly likely that there were intelligent demonic creatures controlling these flying demonic rats behind them.
From the looks of it, cultivators of demonic fiends or desolate beasts might not lose their intelligence, but they might even distort their intelligence and become vicious and bloodthirsty.
Chen Xun raised his head and looked at the sky flames that seemed to cover the sky with flowing clouds. The battle at Jade Pillar Peak gave him a deep shadow, and he was also filled with worry about this trip.
Due to the existence of the Heavenly Flames, there would not be any powerful spirit birds in these areas. Therefore, it was extremely unlikely that they would encounter demonic birds contaminated by demonic fiends.
In the depths of Mount Tu’s Absolute Ridge, thousands, tens of thousands of years had passed, and human tracks were rare. No one knew how many powerful desolate beasts had developed intelligence. If these ferocious beasts cultivated demonic fiends and turned into bloodthirsty and fierce demons, the problem would be huge.
Xia Xiangyi, Zhou Yang, and the others walked over to greet the disciples of Mount Qiyun. As outer sect disciples, Chen Xun and Lei Wanhe were naturally unable to join in the liveliness. They were all on guard and resting outside.
Looking at Chang Xi’s beautiful eyes, she wished she could peel that young man alive and devour him. Chen Xun guessed that that person was most likely the Marquis of Yuan Dynasty’s Crown Prince Jiang Bin.
Although Jiang Ke is the eldest son of the Marquis of Yuanwu, he was born to a concubine. Jiang Bin was the future heir to the position of Marquis of Yuanwu.
The Marquis of Yuan Wu sent Jiang Ke to the Divine Night Sect to cultivate, while the Crown Prince, Jiang Bin, went to Mount Qiyun to cultivate. There was something strange behind this that Chen Xun could not figure out at this moment.
Chen Xun saw a dead demonic mouse in the stone ditch. He picked it up and saw that its soul was all gone, but its green scaled body was completely unharmed. Thinking that Mansion of Marquis Martial could also refine the Soul Locking Seal, he frowned slightly. He thought that Mansion of Marquis Martial might also have a secret technique to refine magical weapons.
A disciple of Mount Qiyun walked over and Chen Xun quietly handed the demonic mouse over to him.
“Go your Sunshine Way, I’ll go my canopy …”
Chang Xi suddenly raised her voice. Chen Xun turned his head in surprise and saw Chang Xi walking towards the distance with a face full of displeasure. Xia Xiangyi, Zhou Yang, and the others also had dissatisfaction and anger towards Chang Xi in their eyes.
Chen Xun guessed that Xia Xiangyi most likely wanted to advance and retreat with Jiang Bin and the other disciples of Mount Qiyun, so that they could receive each other. Chang Xi should have fallen out with them because of this.
“Big Boss, don’t leave me behind!” Chen Xun hurriedly followed.
Even if Chang Xi didn’t part ways with Jiang Bin and the others, Chen Xun would still find an opportunity to leave.
On the one hand, he was afraid that the people from Mansion of Marquis Martial would secretly cause trouble, and on the other hand, if Chen Xun wanted to collect some blood pills, it would be best if he could avoid the sight of Xia Xiangyi, Zhou Yang, and the others.
Now was the right time. Even if they returned to the sect, Xia Xiangyi would most likely only blame Chang Xi for acting without permission.
Chang Xi didn’t seem to hear Chen Xun’s voice. She stepped barefoot on the ink-stained Black Chu Mountain Rock and climbed up the left side of the mountain.
Chen Xun’s hands and feet weren’t slow either, and he followed closely behind.
Lei Wanhe and the other Cuiwei Lake disciples all looked at each other in dismay. For a moment, they were in a dilemma, not knowing what to do.
Normally speaking, they should advance and retreat with Chang Xi when they borrowed the cave that Chang Xi had opened up to cultivate, but this time, Daoist Gu Yang had clearly ordered them, the inner and outer disciples of Gu Yang Peak, to obey Xia Xiangyi’s orders.
However, apart from Xia Xiangyi, Zhou Yang, and a few other Heaven Origin Realm experts accompanying him, Xia Xiangyi also held the Heaven Ranked Six Arch Solar Gathering Banner that Daoist Gu Yang had bestowed upon her before she left.
When they were in Scarlet Maple Castle, they had already sacrificed blood into the Six Leaders Sungathering Banner. If they really encountered any extreme dangers in the mountains, they could use the Six Leaders Sungathering Banner to defend against the enemy.
Chang Xi’s temperament was unpredictable and unpredictable. If she encountered any dangers, Chang Xi’s cultivation would be tyrannical and she would leave as soon as she said so. It would be difficult for the other disciples to escape from the danger.
After a moment of hesitation, Chang Xi and Chen Xun had already disappeared behind Shi Ling.
“Senior Sister Chang Xi probably doesn’t want us to follow and drag her down, does she?” Someone comforted himself.
Lei Wanhe gritted his teeth and chased after him with large strides, shouting, “Wait for me.”
********************
“What are you doing here? Aren’t you afraid of dying with me?” Chang Xi stood barefoot on a red rock, tilting her snow-greasy neck to look at Chen Xun. Under the light of the sky flames, her beautiful eyes were like two treasures, shining with a sparkling luster.
Chen Xun knew in his heart that Chang Xi was hoping that someone would follow him. He smiled and said, “We were born from the Great Leader, and death is the Ghost of the Great Leader. Besides, the Great Leader must have missed us, right?”
Chang Xi looked at Chen Xun strangely as she rebuked herself.
At this moment, Lei Wanhe, Yu Wenying, and Yu Wenyuan also chased after him from the top of the mountain range.
Although Cuiwei Lake was sparsely populated, more than 20 disciples had entered Tu Shan this time, and only Lei Wanhe and the others had chased after him. Chen Xun thought to himself that even if Chang Xi was in Cuiwei Lake, she would not be popular.
Yu Wenyuan couldn’t help but be angry when she saw that no one else was following her. “Fortunately, Eldest Senior Sister treated them so well. They actually turned towards Senior Brother Xia …”
“Nobody asked you to follow me. I still think you’re a burden!” Chang Xi said with a face full of disgust.
“If we go any further, we might encounter an extremely ferocious demon. Why don’t we just play around with soy sauce?” Chen Xun salivated and asked.
“Yes, yes,” Lei Wanhe echoed Chen Xun. “Those thousands of flying rats should be controlled by intelligent demonic beasts. We’d better be able to follow behind Senior Brother Xia and the others. If anything happens to them, they can be rescued in time. Senior Brother Xia will definitely accept your kindness in the future …”
Chen Xun thought to himself that this Lei Wanhe was truly sinister. He was clearly afraid of death and wanted to follow behind Xia Xiangyi and the others, but he could still pick words that moved Chang Xi’s heart.
“If you’re afraid of death, don’t follow me.” Chang Xi, however, was unable to move with a few words from Lei Wanhe as she turned around and dived into the deep valley to the north.
Chen Xun guessed that Chang Xi and the others had entered Tu Shan ten or so days ago. They must have discovered something, so they would turn around and meet up with them. They never thought that they would be unhappy with Xia Xiangyi and Zhou Yang when they first came here.
*************************
In the depths of the Tu Mountain, there were thousands of ravines. The peak was 10,000 feet high and the valley was 10,000 feet deep. There were countless poisonous insects, snakes, and flood dragons. Twenty thousand disciples of the various sects had entered the depths of the Tu Mountain. Chen Xun, Chang Xi, Lei Wanhe, Yu Wenying, and Yu Wenyuan had walked nearly a hundred miles north.
Walking to a hundred zhang tall chu red stone ridge, Chang Xi signaled for everyone to be extra careful. Ning Shen dived onto the stone ridge, and Chen Xun saw that there was actually a snake valley beneath the stone ridge.
Thousands of large black-scaled snakes were coiled within the dense valley of Yin Qi and Demonic Fiends. Looking at these giant snakes that were tens of feet long, or even tens of feet long, and were as thick as stone grindstone, spitting out bright red snake letters, Chen Xun felt a chill rush up from the back of his tail vertebrae.
The Thorn Snake Chen Xun had encountered before was no more than twenty to thirty feet long at most. It was as thick as a bucket. It was already extremely difficult to deal with. He hadn’t expected that there were so many mutated black-scaled pythons hidden in this valley.
These pythons revealed fine fangs that seemed to be made of Nine Nether Iron, and they were actually devouring their fellow creatures. Yu Wenying and Yu Wenyuan looked at them with gloomy expressions.
Chen Xun thought to himself, No wonder the disciples of the various sects hadn’t discovered these giant black-scaled pythons before. It was actually because these giant black-scaled pythons ate the same kind of flesh and blood, and hadn’t left this snake valley before.
Chen Xun waited until he withdrew with Chang Xi and the others. At this moment, a low howl came from the depths of the Snake Valley. The Big Black Scaled Snake stood upright as if it had heard a military order, and then swam towards the east side of the Snake Valley.
The bushes on the east side of the Snake Valley were quickly pushed out by the snakes. Chen Xun saw a deep hole in the ground on the east side of the Snake Valley.
Chen Xun picked up a stone and threw it at the nearest large black-scaled snake. He then said to Chang Xi with a muffled voice, “I have a wonderful use for shattering its soul.”
Chang Xi was impatient and Chen Xun pointed at her. His beautiful eyes glanced sideways at him, but the giant black-scaled snake was already rushing over in alarm.
When the python reached the top of the mountain and saw Chen Xun and the others, the bright red snake messenger spat out and opened its mouth to spit out poisonous mist. Chang Xi casually threw a dozen strands of sword intent into the body of the giant black-scaled snake.
This python, which was nearly ten feet long, had lost its soul in the blink of an eye and was silently lying on the corpse stone ridge.
Chen Xun thought to himself that Chang Xi’s ability was something that he probably wouldn’t be able to catch up with even after cultivating for ten years. He took out a Soul Locking Seal from his spatial ring and sacrificed it with blood into a puppet battle soul that he had successfully refined a long time ago. Then, he refined the puppet battle soul into the python’s body.
The python seemed to have come back to life and stood with its head held high.
After refining the three souls and six souls into Soul Essence, they would become puppet battle souls.
A puppet’s battle soul could drive a mechanical puppet made of gold and stone, so naturally, it could also drive a human and beast that had just died.
Puppet Demon Weapons were not limited to mechanical puppets refined from golden stones.
If he could use the souls of these pythons, he would be able to refine a purer soul that matched the python’s body-and even if the python died, its body could be further refined and strengthened with secret techniques-and it would be able to form a stronger python demon weapon.
Chen Xun refined the puppet’s battle soul into the python’s body, but it was uncomfortable.
Although the python was already dead, the vicious remnant soul in its body was like an ocean. Chen Xun’s spiritual sense, which was connected to the puppet’s battle soul, was almost swallowed up by this extremely cold and bloodthirsty pure tempered will.
Chen Xun finally managed to fuse these remnant souls into the puppet’s battle soul, and a layer of sweat oozed out from his back. However, through the puppet’s battle soul, he discovered that controlling the python’s body was more flexible, and he could clearly sense that the blood pill beneath the python’s stomach was about the size of a stone bowl.
The python spat out the blood pill. Taking advantage of Chang Xi’s dilemma about whether to snatch it or not, Chen Xun put the blood pill into his spatial ring at lightning speed. Then, he ordered the python to swim down the valley and follow the snakes into the cave.
The entrance to the cave was deep and narrow, but after swimming for more than ten kilometers, the cave gradually opened up and was filled with dense demonic qi and fiendish demons. Chen Xun’s spiritual sense penetrated through the python, and he still couldn’t see how deep the cave was.
After traveling for more than twenty li, he saw an underground river appear in the depths of the cave. It was surrounded by jade phosphate snake eyes. It was as eerie and eerie as it was said to be.
Demonic fiends surged out from the dark river like black mist. Chen Xun felt that this dark river was most likely directly connected to the spatial rift of the Thousand Demons Realm.
At this moment, the sound of beeping came from the depths of the cave, and an infinite fierce aura permeated through it.
Although Chen Xun only had a little spiritual sense left in the python’s body, there was also a depressing feeling that he couldn’t breathe. Suddenly, he saw a naked giant that was more than ten feet tall walk out of the cave. It wasn’t walking out, it was swimming. It was supposed to be the legs of the naked giant, it was actually a gigantic snake tail.
Chen Xun was so frightened that his hands and feet were ice-cold. He expected that there was a spirit demon hidden deep within the Tu Mountain, but he never expected that it would cause them to crash into a Heavenly Demon that could already transform into a form.
The python-tailed giant’s naked chest was also covered in dark snake scales. His huge face was indescribably ferocious and terrifying. He held a black steel halberd in his hand, and his scarlet one-eyed eyes were like lightning as he looked at the giant snake under Chen Xun’s control and casually released a black fiend attack …
