Chapter 339 - Blood of the Spirit Salamander
With Hu Zhongyuan and Chai Zhou taking the lead, the people around didn’t hesitate any more and all jumped down this cliff.
People like Shi Dan and Ling Xuan who were great in terms of spells they didn’t fear anything. They each cast their spells and floated in mid-air, falling towards the dense mist under the mountain.
In just a moment only Zong Shou was left on the peak of the mountain.
Zong Shou didn’t immediately follow along, instead, he walked to another side, still asking the same question, “Are you going to jump yourself or must I kick you down?”
In that empty land which had no one at all, the light in that area fluctuated. A pure black giant tiger suddenly appeared. It was Zong Shou’s rising moon tiger pet known as Little Zhi.
It was resting on the side of the cliff, its gaze was one of pity and innocence as it looked backward.
The thoughts he got through their mental connection made him facepalm. What a headache.
This tiger was afraid of heights!
He wasn’t willing to waste words on it, directly kicking this rising moon tiger down the tall cliff with his foot.
Following which the lightning winged sword suddenly flew up into the air and under his feet, dragging his body to fly downwards.
His body was wobbly and a little unstable. However, Zong Shou felt a sense of novelty, this was the first time he used spirit master methods to drive an artifact in the air.
Unfortunately, he was too rusty in terms of spiritual cultivation. He was unable to control it flexibly, as such he didn’t dare to do much and just conscientiously sunk into the mist.
Roughly after 1200 feet, Zong Shou had stepped onto flat ground. He could hear fighting sounds spreading from within the mist.
A moment later, Zong Shou could feel that someone was casting spells and summoned a frenzied wind to blow away the white mist.
Following which he saw Yiren and the others all gathered together. Only Hu Zhongyuan was slightly unlucky, getting entangled with a grade 5 elite beast that looked a little weird, he seemed to be in a difficult situation.
The mist around the elite beast still hadn’t faded, even with the wind blowing it was unable to cause the wind to dissipate. It faded in and out of the mist, appearing and disappearing. Even Hu Zhongyuan who had martial ancestor cultivation was forced into a difficult situation.
“It’s a mist wolf!”
Shi Dan’s brows furrowed as she bowed towards Zong Shou who was walking over, “Ruler, this mist wolf is a little weird, it is a little different from the one I have seen in the past.”
Xuanyuan Yiren had the same thought, however, the spells she cast were a little special. Some of the mist nearby was absorbed over and hung in front of her body, the color constantly changing. After Zong Shou got close, she heaved a sigh of relief and dissipated the spell, “I have already tested it, the mist is poisonous. However, it is in very small amounts so people above xiantian don’t have to mind. Only Ruolan needs to be careful and can’t spend too much time in the mist. However, with me taking care of her, she doesn’t need to worry.”
All of them all relaxed. Before this, they all held their breath, blocking off the air around there and cutting off connection with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Ruo Shui even split up some true qi to protect Ruolan to separate her body to maintain her breathing. Now she was ease and could unlock it.
Zong Shou knew that this would happen, his gaze fixed on the ball of mist around Hu Zhongyuan’s body.
It was indeed different from a grade 5 mist wolf. This elite beast was not only one level stronger than similar grade beasts. Many scales grew out around its body such that knives and swords were hard to harm it. Hu Zhongyuan struck it several times with the tiger king knife and it only gave rise to some sparks. The main body of this mist wolf itself wasn’t harmed at all.
This was the same as he remembered.
At this moment Zong Shou was in deep thought, thinking about the God-Emperor Game.
The scenario in the game was probably a lot different from the way the cloud world looked ten thousand years ago, but there was indeed several similar areas.
What was astonishing was that some of the mysterious presences were the same.
Zong Shou originally didn’t have high hopes towards the secret locations here. After all, there weren’t many detailed records in those books that were passed down in the future.
There was only one sentence which had some slight connection- ‘the spiritual salamander went up against Xi Zi, breaking its tail to survive. Its tail fell into a place where a saint was buried.’ Speaking of which it had some connection to his senior uncle, common people path senior master.
The so called place where the saints fell referred to nearby this place. It was said that during the cloud desolate era there were 12 saints, who for some reason, all fell together in one day. This was why that place was known as where the saints fell.
Following which Zong Shou had specially gone to test it out and prove, he realized that south of Xiping Province had a 70% chance of being the so called place of where the saints fell.
However, after all, it was something that wasn’t confirmed. The secret location that his friend found was most probably randomly made up by the game publisher.
However, Zong Shou was doing so just in case which was the reason why he came over to take a look. His true reason was to see if he could find some clues nearby to search for the true place where the spiritual salamander tail was at.
However, the situation in front of him surprised him.
How did the developer of the god-emperor game even know about such secretive matters? Moreover, its virtual game was the same?
Was that game developed by a company who was said to have a really deep background?
He connected it to the heaven swallow energy conversion technique and the book of eon extreme life. Many more questions swarmed his head.
He couldn’t help but be slightly distracted, however, a moment later his thoughts were broken.
Only to hear Hu Zhongyuan holler suddenly, “There are 3 more, how annoying! Why aren’t all of you all helping?”
Zong Shou was brought back to his senses. There were 3 more grade 5 beasts who pounced over in the mist.
Chai Zhou slightly shook his head and smiled involuntarily as he saw that, “Just now who was the one who said that he wanted to personally kill that mist wolf to take revenge?”
Only then did Zong Shou realize that there were bite marks on Hu Zhongyuan’s hand. Luckily he wore a layer of heavy armor and his injuries weren’t heavy. He couldn’t help but laugh involuntarily, giggling out.
Before this he was distracted due to the matters about this area, now that he had come back to his senses, he immediately suppressed all his questions and stopped bothering about it.
After all, at this moment, he had returned to ten thousand years in the past. Even if he had doubts on the game developer company, there was no way he could run back to ten thousand years in the past to investigate. This memory was destined to be left unsolved.
Waving his hand to signal to Chai Zhou and Xuan Ling to stop. Zong Shou pointed forwards together with his fingers. The lightning winged sword once again rose into the air and slashed into the mist.
At the start, he displayed the cloud shocking god destroying sword intent which was also hidden in the mist and silently flew over. It wasn’t until it got close did the purple lightning glow suddenly accelerate and a lightning glow exploded out. The sword speed and strength instantly increased to the maximum. It directly slashed across the head and one grade 5 mist wolf was slain in one hit!
He reached out with his hand and grabbed over that giant elite beast. When it was in front of him, he realized that not only was this mist wolf covered in scales, but it also had numerous pimple and tumor-like things, some of them were oozing out thick pus. Just looking at it made one’s hair stand on their ends.
Zong Shou didn’t care much, using his sword to slash open the stomach and carefully cut into its heart.
Hu Zhongyuan was panicking at the side, he scowled miserably and grumbled out loud, “Ruler, you can’t leave me like this. Can you bear to watch me die here?”
The strength of the mist wolf originally exceeded that of same grade beasts, its body was indiscernible and uncertain. Within this dense mist, it could display all of its skills.
Hu Zhongyuan had just entered the Xuanwu ancestor realm and hadn’t merged with his 7th spiritual vein. To deal with one of them was already really tough. The combined attacks of 3 beasts caused him to be in straitened circumstances, unable to handle the situation.
Zong Shou wasn’t moved. He wanted that fellow to face some problems. He focused and took out several drops of silver-white blood from within the body of the mist wolf.
Xuanyuan Yiren who was watching from the side was instantly moved. The aura of the blood was similar to the liquid that he had taken from the grass. Moreover, it was even thicker and purer. Thinking about it, Xuanyuan Yiren was enlightened.
“So that’s the case! These mist wolves have spent so many years in this mist and have been infected by the water and energy within the mist. Accumulating it through the days and the months, their powers raised quickly whilst their body was deeply infected by the poison. This blood should be the essence blood that the body of the beast had formed after it had purified and filtered right?
As she said that, Xuanyuan Yiren’s eyes glowed. Be it martial cultivators or spirit masters, or these elite beasts, once their vital energy reached a certain level they would be able to reject and detoxify the poison.
This silver-colored blood liquid was what was formed after the mist was purified and concentrated. Not only was it not poisonous, but it was extremely pure.
If this thing was used to refine pills, it would have a miraculous effect!
Zong Shou had long felt that Little Gold who was on his arm was tempted and desired for it. He didn’t stop it and allowed it to swallow the silver-white essence blood.
In the next instant, he saw several threads that were so thin that one nearly couldn’t see them form on the jelly-like body of Little Gold. It caused the mysterious patterns on its outer skin to become more and more complete.
The people here were instantly delighted. That silver-white blood was indeed effective and looking at Little Gold, it was harmless too.
“This item is the most effective for my monster race and elite beasts and can help improve bloodline. Normal people can also eat it, but it would only help strengthen the body and the true qi. It had the bloodline of an ancient god beast, once it reached a certain thickness and has an intelligence of its own. It can help one comprehend martial arts as well as the laws of heaven and earth. It will also be helpful for spirit masters…”
Zong Shou explained whilst he felt slightly regretful. Unfortunately, Yin Yang wasn’t here. Who knows where he went to.
If not, this mist, which quality was the same as the spiritual origin blood, should be even more effective for the spirit race. He instructed, “Actually this essence blood isn’t totally without poison. If one accumulates roughly hundred drops, the poison would be strong enough to cause even martial ancestors to have a chance of death. One cannot have too much of it. Everyone has different talents so 120 drips are the max. Also, when we hunt these beasts, it is best to slay them with one shot when their blood is boiling!”
As he said that, everyone didn’t need Zong Shou to explain anymore and they all understood what he meant.
When one’s blood was active, the quality of the silver essence energy would be better. However, if one was badly injured it would lower the purity of this essence energy.
Hu Zhongyuan was already using up all his energy to subdue the 3 mist wolves. Just as he was about to injure one of them with a knife he heard what Zong Shou said. He instantly retracted his hand and frenziedly went to block. His eyes shone a bright glow as he looked greedily at those 3 elite beasts.
