Shennong Sequence

Chapter 339 The gray remaining skins reveal thousands of beasts, and picking up corpses yields spirits!
Zhao Yun asked the Shadow Scythe Puppet to pick up the gray skin and examine it. It was bald and had no paint on it, as if it was just a piece of ordinary leather.

But just when Zhao Yun ordered the eighth-grade Shadow Scythe Puppet to destroy it, something unusual happened:
This piece of skin is extremely tough, at least the Shadow Scythe Puppet cannot damage it in the slightest!
Even the bald hair cannot be pulled...

Then, when Zhao Yun input a little of his own magic power into it, he could sense that there seemed to be a monster inside that was endlessly devouring magic power, and was able to continuously devour the magic power Zhao Yun input.

Immediately, after Zhao Yun disconnected the magic power connection, he also saw from the abnormal situation of absorbing the magic power that there was indeed something magical on this gray skin!

"This thing, and the statue, both came from the remains of a disciple of the Wanling Yudao Immortal Sect..."

Zhao Yun thought about it for a while, then used the "Great Method of Bringing All Beasts Back to Their Hearts" technique.

This time, the gray remnant of skin actually glowed with a slight glow.

But that was all. In the end, Zhao Yun still gained nothing from this piece of broken skin.

But no matter what, Zhao Yun could confirm that this thing was indeed a rare treasure related to the Immortal Sect. It was worth collecting and deciphering it when he became powerful in the future!
"The harvest is huge, but the hour is almost up. I don't have time to collect the remaining 10,000 low-grade spirit stones in the spirit stone vein... I don't have time to move so many spirit veins... I can only make choices among all the benefits!"

After Zhao Yun had recovered a little of his magic power and mental strength under the stone house, he quietly lurked and spied on the situation around the surface.

After confirming the scope of his own exploration and finding no problems, he looked at the Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth that could transmit information when it reached the surface.

Zhao Yun then used the Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth to ask Commander Tu about the situation of the assembly, and then confirmed whether the other party was still alive?
If he was not alive, Zhao Yun felt that it would be best not to go out of this earth.

It would be better to stay under the earth and sneak towards the ancient altar.

Of course, if Commander Tu was still alive, everyone would be happy!

This meant that Commander Tu and his men had survived the crisis a day ago.

Then Zhao Yun wouldn't have to worry about how to get close to the ancient altar.

In addition, Zhao Yun was somewhat curious about the battle situation on the Lingshan ground that day before, which caused the mountains and rivers to shake.

I don't know whether Commander Tu and his group of people scattered in the Holy Mountain encountered the source of the numerous dead souls of cultivators that appeared in the sea of ​​souls that was formed by the remaining meaning of reincarnation when they came out from the depths of the Dragon Soul Valley and guided the souls of all the dead creatures in the entire dragon beast world to gather together?

Or was it that everyone had previously united to drive away the group of soldiers wearing the same uniforms as when they killed the dragon beast in Lingshan, and now they have reunited and fought back?
Or perhaps, some special crisis has occurred again?

‘Buzz~’

When the Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth vibrated gently, it pulled Zhao Yun's thoughts back from his many thoughts.

“Finally a reply!”

Zhao Yun saw in the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror that Commander Tu wrote to him in a reply, which read:
'Where have you been for the past day?'

'Come over now and join us, we'll be leaving soon!'

Between the questions and the answers, Zhao Yun received a lot of information.

At least, isn’t Commander Tu still alive?

It would be easy to deal with if Commander Tu was still alive, as it proved that nothing serious happened between the vibration a day ago and the battle at Lingshan.

As long as nothing serious happens, Zhao Yun can walk around Lingshan with peace of mind and meet up with everyone.

Wait until Zhao Yun emerges from underground and steps onto the surface of Lingshan Mountain.

At first, everything seemed normal, but after walking only a few miles, a foul smell hit them in the face, and they could see the remains of some dead monks, soldiers, etc., crawling hideously on the ground.

Moreover, there was a dark aura between the brows of these monks!
There is an external manifestation in which, before death, all luck and destiny are forcibly stripped away.

What was even more bizarre was that the supplies and even the clothes of these dead monks were clean and tidy, and had not been opened or searched...

"Kill people, touch corpses, and destroy corpses!"

“What a traditional process…but you only did the first one?”

What's more, Zhao Yun was very surprised that the supplies on the corpses were still intact!
And alarm bells are ringing in my heart!
He immediately summoned five shadow sickle puppets from the divine spiritual realm, four of which were lurking around his body.

One more person was left behind, specifically to go up and dig around and check the body on the ground.

It was then discovered that one of the bodies was a Confucian monk named Meng Zimo, one of the remaining 23 people in King You's team. He died here quietly.

Then, Zhao Yun asked the Shadow Scythe Puppet to turn over the corpse and take away the space magic weapon and valuable things.

But the corpse and all the worthless things on it were discarded.

Of course, Zhao Yun still had some moral principles. As his magic power surged, the ground nearby sank into a pit, giving all the dead bodies a final resting place.

In addition, Zhao Yun needed to hurry on his journey, so he threw everything he picked up from the corpse into the divine spiritual realm, and asked Xin Ruyin to help dismantle and classify them to see what good things were still left.

Especially in this sacred mountain, the flesh and blood of the dragon beasts hunted by everyone, and even everyone has a little bit of spiritual beauty on their body... These are all precious materials that need to be recycled!

Zhao Yun continued to move forward, but he continued to discover new corpses along the way.

There were people from King You's team, soldiers, some barbarians, and some people whose specific forces could not be identified...

There were one, two... and more than ten similar incidents. Corpses were lying everywhere, luck was drained away, and supplies were not taken. Such an abnormal death situation made Zhao Yun more cautious, and he had to escape carefully.

In addition, there are some explanations for these anomalies:
Either the murderer has not gone far away yet and is waiting to return to retrieve the item;

Either these materials are not worth their attention;
But no matter which situation it is, it is fraught with danger and extremely troublesome!

Therefore, Zhao Yun's subsequent actions were even more cautious.

It was not until Zhao Yun discovered the body of a man in Xiangjia clothing who had died together with five soldiers, combined with the previous evidence of the loss of luck, that he finally pieced together the truth:
The great battle that shook the mountains and rivers a day ago should have been the confrontation between Commander Tu and his men and the attackers from the Xiang family.

It is very likely that when Commander Tu and his men were finally unable to protect themselves, they united with these soldiers who had also suffered heavy casualties to jointly resist the Xiang family! And now, among these dead bodies, there are still bodies of people from the Xiang family.

In addition, Commander Tu said that he wanted to leave this sacred mountain.

It was obvious that they had already driven away those people from the Xiang family who had launched a sneak attack.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yun secretly thanked his lucky stars that he had made the right decision to follow Commander Tu, his "big brother", after coming out of Dragon Soul Valley.

He collected more than twenty corpses and threw them directly into the divine spiritual realm. After letting Xin Ruyin pick up the corpses, Zhao Yun finally reunited with Commander Tu and others.

Commander Tu looked up and down at Zhao Yun, who was unharmed and not even in the slightest sign of embarrassment, and asked in confusion:

"General Zhao, where have you been for the past day? Did you encounter any attacks from the Xiang family during that time?"

When Zhao Yun listened to what Commander Tu said, he was proved that what he had just thought in his mind was correct.

I made up a half-truth in my mind:

"I'm Si Nong, so I naturally know some underground skills. When the war just broke out, I realized something was wrong, so I hid under the ground. It's only been a day and a half since I dared to come out and contact you, right?"

Moreover, Zhao Yun would not reveal that he had obtained a seventh-grade spiritual vein, two high-grade spirit stones, and one hundred mid-grade spirit stones. This was already a huge resource equivalent to 30,000 low-grade spirit stones.

What's more, the spirit stones Zhao Yun obtained were all five-element spirit stones with normal attributes. They are much more useful than the official unified salary issued by the Great Zhou Divine Dynasty, more than half of which are mixed with the Yin spirit stones produced in the Yin World.

In addition, Zhao Yun concealed the opening chapter of the ancient immortal sect's immortal scripture, "The Art of Killing Me with the Ming Dao", as well as the aurora pure white jade statue, the piece of gray skin and other opportunities that he had obtained.

After all, his teammates were suffering, and only nine people were left, including himself.

If he showed off his talents and boasted about all the great benefits he had gained when his teammates were suffering heavy casualties, wouldn't he meet people who were jealous of him... and be envied?
If by then you are accidentally stabbed in the back, wouldn't you be doomed?
So when others are sad, we naturally have to create some sad examples of our own.

Otherwise, it is easy to be overjoyed and end up in tragedy...

At this time, everyone in the team also noticed Zhao Yun who had returned.

Ji Daoyuan looked at Zhao Yun, who was wearing shiny armor and was unscathed, and muttered:

"He was lucky enough not to be killed by the Xiang family during the previous riot."

Ji Daoyuan continued walking away while muttering.

Although Zhao Yun was not offended by Ji Daoyuan's behavior, he did not think too much about it.

Because his eyes fell on the hundreds of soldiers gathered next to the team, and everyone was at peace with each other for the time being... This was quite strange.

These soldiers had previously been driven out of Lingshan by Commander Tu.

Isn't this holding a grudge?
However, after Zhao Yun arrived, whether it was the people from King You's team or the soldiers and other forces, they all set out together and headed for the ancient altar.

And as long as we wait half a day, that is, tomorrow on February 2nd when the dragon raises its head, we can offer a blood sacrifice on the altar, open the passage of time and space, and then we can truly enter the world of real dragons!
In addition, when Zhao Yun was on the road, he also used the Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth to contact Master Sun briefly.

Master Sun is safe and sound now. When he sensed the danger, he used the earth escape technique and hid under the ground.

In addition, Sun Zhengxuan also told Zhao Yun in detail about what he had discovered. Whether it was his ritual spiritual plant, the Blood Cattail Tree, or Zhao Yun's ritual spiritual plant, the Blood-sucking Vine, they should both have a great interest in the flesh and blood of these dragon-like creatures!
After all, this dragon is one of the supreme true spirits, and its physical strength is naturally unparalleled.

Regardless of whether it is the blood cattail tree or the blood-sucking vine, they are both life forms in the blood path.

Naturally, these blood-path creatures still have a certain preference for the bodies and flesh of such strong people.

Even when a certain amount of blood fragments are extracted from the flesh and blood of these powerful bodies, it can stimulate these blood path spirits to derive various special abilities...

After hearing this, Zhao Yun looked at Xin Ruyin, who was sorting out the supplies remaining on the twenty or so corpses that were moved into the Divine Spirit Realm directly after him.

In addition, Xin Ruyin had already classified the supplies, dragon beast flesh, spiritual objects, etc. that Zhao Yun had initially collected from the space storage magic weapon.

"Just by picking up corpses, I have inherited the resources obtained by dozens of people during their explorations in this small world of dragon beasts, as well as the various resources they prepared for entering this small world of dragon beasts...

In the end, I estimate that I can gather 100,000 low-grade spirit stones. This is equivalent to one person being able to gather more than 5,000 spirit stones... This amount is already quite good!"

Zhao Yun then asked the blood-sucking vines that were ready to move in the blood spirit field, and the blood dragon cicada that had not reacted for the time being, to go to Xin Ruyin's side to devour some fresh dragon beast flesh and blood.

After a moment, Zhao Yun's mind, which was spiritually connected to the Blood-sucking Vine, suddenly sensed the warning from the Blood-sucking Vine.

Zhao Yun's mind sank into the divine spiritual realm, where he saw the blood-sucking vines baring their fangs and claws, and a blood-colored vine firmly holding down the body of a Xiang family monk.

And next to the corpse, there was a drop of bright red blood buzzing and trembling.

Zhao Yun's pupils suddenly shrank - this was the same blood poison that Lord Longze had discovered in his body!
Moreover, this blood Gu can resonate with the essence of the physical body, and even the golden light spell that can restrain external evil and eliminate dissidents can be deceived!

This is enough to show how dangerous this thing called 'blood parasite' is!
Zhao Yun immediately mobilized divine power and imprisoned the blood parasite with the power of heaven and earth in the divine spiritual realm.

In addition, Zhao Yun also saw that the blood-sucking vine showed a strong desire to devour the blood parasite.

After a little thought, he let the blood-sucking vine devour it.

Perhaps this could allow the blood-sucking vine to evolve new abilities?
However, if the Blood-sucking Vine can really evolve into a special ability related to "Gu", then in the future, the Blood-sucking Vine will definitely be a great help to Zhao Yun!
But the question that follows is, why does this blood parasite appear on the Xiang family?

Didn’t the Xiang family hire a Gu cultivator to target them before?

How come the situation is reversed?

Could it be that this Gu cultivator did not have any good feelings towards this group of people from the Xiang family, so he placed more Gu insects before leaving?
Furthermore, these people in the physiognomy school were unaware that they had already been planted with poisonous insects in their bodies, which only showed the strangeness of the unpredictable fate...

Therefore, all kinds of questions about "Gu" burst out in Zhao Yun's mind because of the blood Gu that suddenly appeared from the person of the Xiang family.

However, Zhao Yun ultimately failed to connect the source of the "Gu" with the fact that the leader of the Xiang family, An Le Sui Zhenren, had his fate usurped and eventually his body possessed!
