Mortal: Return of apprenticeship? Bug at the beginning

Chapter 18: The Eighteenth Palm of the Ink Dragon
Jiang Tongyue appeared in a basin.

The basin is surrounded by bizarrely shaped boulders that wrap the entire basin tightly, and in the center of the basin stands an ancient, huge bluestone palace.

"According to the information, there is a peak-level black phosphorus python in this bluestone hall. It has devoured many Qi training monks from the seven sects. I can't be wrong! This bluestone hall is the place where the black dragon lives in the original book!"

After comparing several maps in his hands, Jiang Tongyue raised his head, his eyes full of confidence.

After killing the Ice and Fire Wolf and obtaining the Heavenly Spirit Fruit, Jiang Tongyue went to several places and finally gathered the remaining two main ingredients for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill. Then he rushed to the Bluestone Palace.

No matter what, Jiang Tongyue must get the treasure chest guarded by Mo Jiao.

For this reason, even if it means taking some risks, he is willing to face the Mo Jiao, a top-level monster.

What's more, Jiang Tongyue has so many trump cards in his hand, and he is willing to try this little risk, so he might as well not cultivate this immortal!
Jiang Tongyue walked into the gate of the bluestone hall without hesitation.

Although the bluestone hall is very vast, its door is pitifully small, barely enough for two people to pass through side by side.

After entering the palace and passing through a winding corridor, Jiang Tongyue arrived at a hall.

The hall was very simple. Apart from a black tunnel in the center surrounded by jade railings, there was nothing else inside.

Jiang Tongyue held a defensive talisman in his hand, with the Hunyuan Bell suspended on his right shoulder, and then he walked cautiously towards the black tunnel.

Arriving at the tunnel entrance, Jiang Tongyue looked at the stone stairs that slowly extended downwards and walked straight down.

The passage below is built with bluestone, it is a little damp on both sides, and the entire corridor is very dark.

As a last resort, Jiang Tongyue took out a piece of moonstone to illuminate the scene, and only then could he see a little more clearly.

The further down they went, the more humid and hot it became, and Jiang Tongyue even started sweating profusely.

When Jiang Tongyue followed the stone steps and left the bluestone passage, he came to a swamp world.

This underground world is about thirty feet high, but several miles wide, and is filled with silt with black bubbles everywhere.

The tide that Jiang Tongyue felt just now was formed on this piece of mud. If it weren't for the cool breeze that came from the passage that Jiang Tongyue came from, the temperature of this underground world would probably be much higher.

There were tall piles of black soil surrounding the swamp, and growing in them were more than a dozen spiritual herbs, many of which Jiang Tongyue needed.

But these did not attract Jiang Tongyue's attention at all. At this moment, his eyes had been attracted by a small white jade pavilion in the middle of the swamp.

In the center of the white jade pavilion, a box that is twelve feet long and half a foot wide, emitting golden light, is suspended there.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Tongyue's heart couldn't help but pounding. If there wasn't a top-level monster, the Black Dragon, here, he would have pounced on it and taken away the box emitting golden light.

Jiang Tongyue thought about it, then threw out a dozen talismans. The talismans floated above the swamp, turned into dense fireballs, and bombarded the swamp.

These talismans are just low-level talismans, which are the spoils that Jiang Tongyue obtained from the cultivators of other sects in the Blood Forbidden Land.

Large ice cones, fireballs, and wind blades bombarded the swamp below, causing the swamp to shake violently.

As if angered by Jiang Tongyue's attack, the swamp was like boiling water, surging non-stop with a certain place as the center. The next moment, a huge, black, scaly snake-like monster appeared in front of Jiang Tongyue.

This is the legendary Black Dragon!!!

The black dragon is not big, only three or four feet long, but its entire body is covered with a layer of light black mist, with only its head and tail exposed.

Jiang Tongyue's expression became solemn. There was no doubt that Mo Jiao was putting pressure on him.

The Black Dragon is extremely powerful. A Black Dragon at the peak of level one can be said to be able to sweep across the entire Blood Forbidden Land, not to mention that the Black Dragon may also be able to advance to level two.

Once he advances to level two, his combat power will be comparable to that of the middle stage of foundation building, and he will not be able to defeat him no matter what.

Therefore, Jiang Tongyue must kill Mo Jiao directly before he enters the second level and win the battle.

At this time, the black dragon had already discovered the uninvited guest who had entered his territory and disturbed his rest. Therefore, a fierce light flashed in the black dragon's eyes, and he opened his bloody mouth, and a black water column swept directly towards Jiang Tongyue.

Jiang Tongyue did not dare to be careless. The Hunyuan Bell on his right shoulder flew up and blocked in front of him, taking all of Mo Jiao's attacks.

Although the defense of the Hunyuan Bell is extremely strong, the attack of the Mo Jiao still makes Jiang Tongyue feel very strenuous.

After all, his cultivation level was only the thirteenth level of Qi training.

At this time, Jiang Tongyue selected three talismans in his hand, and then he threw them out without hesitation.

Three talismans were suspended in the air, emitting dazzling blue light, followed by countless sharp ice cones shooting towards the black dragon.

The Mo Jiao stared at Jiang Tongyue with his fierce eyes. Facing the ice cones, he did not dodge or evade, but tried to block them with his own protective Mo Yun.

But it really underestimated these ice cones. It saw that these ice cones easily pierced through the black cloud that protected the black dragon and then fell on the body of the black dragon.

Even though the scales on the black dragon's body had strong defensive power, it was still in great pain from the bombardment of these ice cones. Some of the ice cones even pierced through the black dragon's body directly.

The black dragon did not choose to fight head-on, but dodged the attacking ice cones like a fish, while not forgetting to spit black water columns towards Jiang Tongyue.

The black water column of the Mo Jiao is extremely powerful, and at the same time it carries a terrifying corrosive force that can corrode the magic weapons of cultivators.

Unfortunately, the Hunyuan Bell in Jiang Tongyue's hand was returned by the system. Not only did it consume less energy, its quality was also comparable to the magic weapon of a Jindan cultivator.

Therefore, the black water column from the Mo Jiao fell on the Hunyuan Bell without causing the slightest ripple.

At this time, Jiang Tongyue continued to take out the intermediate talisman and attacked the Mo Jiao.

However, the Mo Jiao, which had just suffered a loss, had learned its lesson and no longer chose to resist Jiang Tongyue's talismans head-on, but swam around like a fish. This made it difficult for Jiang Tongyue's talismans to attack the Mo Jiao.

Even if there were occasional spell attacks on the Black Dragon, it would not cause any pain to it.

Jiang Tongyue slapped the storage bag, and the Chixiao Sword immediately flew out of the storage bag and shot towards the Mo Jiao.

Go ahead, Chixiao Sword, it's decided that it's you!
