Chapter 164: The Snipe and the Clam Fight, Blood Lotus in the Spiritual Pond

The secret realm of the cave is not very big. Even though there are many forbidden formations inside, which divide the tombs, people who enter here cannot directly reach the center of the cave.

But not long after, Yu Que and others met them in the cave in groups of three or four.

Among them, Yu Que, because he thought that his cultivation level was low, even though he had quite a few skills, he still moved cautiously in the cave.

When he noticed movement in front of him, several people in front of him had already started fighting with each other.

"Liu Laoqi, what the hell are you doing? Why are you so cruel?"

"Hehe, life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are determined by God. Don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless."

Sharp shouts and screams continued to be heard from the front.

Yu Que concealed his body and narrowed his eyes slightly, but still chose to go forward to take a look.

Soon, a dry pool appeared in the dim environment, and in the center of the pool, there was still some crystal clear liquid.

The moment he saw the liquid, Yu Que's heart beat fast. He felt as if he had seen a priceless treasure. An impulse from his soul made him want to take it for himself.

In his agitation, his eyes were slightly red.

In particular, there was a richer spiritual energy floating in the air, which made his breathing suddenly heavy.

But when the breathing sound became heavier, Yu Que thought to himself, "Not good."

Before he could retract his gaze, two sharp gazes were cast from the dry pool, staring closely at his hiding place.

"Which brother is here again? Why don't you come out quickly?"

"Why are you talking nonsense? Let's deal with this guy first, and then we can see who's better."

Seeing that his whereabouts had been exposed, Yu Que thought for a moment, then calmly came out from the corner and bowed to the front:

"Two brothers, you guys go ahead and do your work. I'm just passing by."

When they saw that it was Yu Que, the two guard commanders breathed a sigh of relief, with a hint of contempt in their eyes.

At this moment, next to them, a ten-foot-wide pool was already filled with corpses. The dozen or so corpses were all wearing military uniforms, and they had died in tragic ways, some had their energy sucked dry by ghosts and gods, and some had their bodies destroyed by magic.

Others held weapons against each other and died together.

Thick blood dripped into the pool, flowing along the lines on the bottom of the pool, all the way to the crystal clear "spiritual liquid" in the center, gradually dyeing it red.

"It turned out to be Master Yu."

"What a coincidence, it turned out to be the Bimaweng brothers."

The two sides in the pool, who were originally about to share the same hatred for the enemy, were instantly at odds with each other again.

When the two men saw that the person coming was Yu Que, they did not regard Yu Que as a competitor, so they did not plan to join forces to get rid of Yu Que first, lest they would be ambushed by the other person while joining forces.

"Master Yu, you are here for the best. This beast is so cruel that he killed all my colleagues just for a few treasures."

"Nonsense! If you don't help me, I'm afraid this guy will kill you to silence you."

As they spoke, two fierce ghosts appeared and disappeared around them. The seventh-grade spiritual light was dazzling, and they immediately started fighting each other again.

Buzz!
The wind was howling, and the blood in the pool was shaking constantly.

The two men's figures flashed continuously, and their magic power was powerful.

When Yu Que saw that the two men were indeed commander-level figures, his face became serious and he immediately retreated to the side.

He had just entered the secret realm of the cave, and he hadn't even figured out what the real good things in the cave were, so there was no need for him to fight to the death with others.

Just as he wanted to retreat, a long whip was swung out from the center of the pool and hit him hard, smashing the beam of the pool in front of him into pieces.

If Yu Que was hit hard by this attack, with his physique, he would be cut in half on the spot.

Murderous intent immediately emerged in Yu Que's eyes.

The two commanders were still fighting each other, not paying any attention to Yu Que at all.

The person who made the move even joked:

"Brother Yu, now is not the time for you to leave. If you don't help me, there is no point in saving your life."

Roar!
The two ferocious bodies of ghosts and gods becomes increasingly powerful as they fight each other. The rolling yin energy reaches several feet high, causing their heads to directly hit the top of the cave.

However, facing the appearance of two ghosts and gods, Yu Que showed some fear on his face, but he was not panicked. Instead, he felt relieved.

Because he could see that the two men in front of him had already started a real fight, were injured and lacked strength, and their momentum was far inferior to that of the seventh commander Fei Wu. Perhaps they were just immortals who had just entered the seventh rank.

So under the cold eyes of the others, Yu Que also showed a hint of sneer on his face. He flicked his sleeves, and thirty ghost cavalrymen appeared around him.

Yu Yu!

The ghost cavalrymen trampled on the corpses in the pool and tightly surrounded the ten-foot-wide pool in the center.

The appearance of so many eighth-rank ghost soldiers made the two bandit commanders, who had originally looked down on Yu Que, change their expressions in unison.

Among them, the commander who had not attacked Yu Que just now shouted:

"Master Yu, you are so good at hiding your abilities. Master Yu, please send troops to help me kill this beast!"

Yu Que's eyes flickered. He could have pretended to be friendly with the person who was shouting at him, killed the other person, and then dealt with the other party.

But a sense of violence also rose in his eyes.

Yu Que raised his white-back sword, pointed at the two people in the pool, and sneered:
"Why bother with so much trouble? You two must be exhausted. I will take you both on your way."

As soon as he finished speaking, the thirty ghost cavalrymen under his command swarmed forward and charged into the two people in the pool.

The two men were furious when they heard this and immediately wanted to kill Yu Que first before talking about anything else.

But the two of them had already been fighting in the pool for a few moments, and everyone else except them had died in the battle. The two of them had expended a lot of energy.

Therefore, facing the groups of ghost soldiers attacking them, even if they were seventh-rank immortals, they were panic-stricken and fearful for a moment.

puff puff!

As for the remaining ghost cavalrymen, they were all fearless and brave. Even if their ghost bodies were shattered by one blow from the enemy, they would still trample and bite the enemy madly.

After a few rounds, the two commander-level figures were forced to retreat together by Yu Que, with a hint of surprise on their faces.

What surprised them even more was that when Yu Que saw that they were already trapped in the center of the pool, he moved his fingers lightly and dispatched the soldiers in the pool, causing two ghost cavalrymen to self-explode in front of the two commanders.

The next moment, a cry of pain rang out: "Is this—real fire!?"

"Shu Zi, you dare!"

I saw clusters of black and red flames rising from the pool, covering the two commanders' bodies, and immediately climbing up to cover the ghosts and gods outside their bodies.

This is why Yu Que used the two ghost cavalrymen that he had finally refined into true fire as ignition consumables on the two commanders. "Brother Liu, calm down. Although this guy has true fire energy, his quantity is limited. Let's see who can outlast the other!"

Inside the clusters of true fire, the two commanders truly felt the icy chill of the dead souls.

In their haste, they did not think of breaking out, but tried to stick together and use their own magic power to withstand the burning of Yu Que's true fire.

Faced with this scene, Yu Que's eyes became even brighter.

He smiled and said nothing. He just took out a stack of paper money from his sleeve and scattered it in front of him like snow, as if he was burying the other person.

Soon, a scene that made the two commanders shudder with fear appeared.

The true fire that surrounded them suddenly burned more vigorously, as if it had been blessed by the energy of true fire.

There was an outcry of disbelief:
"This is impossible. How can paper money and incense activate the true fire?"

"Could it be that these paper money contain the energy of true fire?"

Yu Que naturally would not give any explanation.

He possesses the Fire Crow's fire seed in his body. Although the Crow Fire in his hand has not yet reached the sixth level, its essence is actually higher than the true fire of the three-headed snake crow. It's just that he lacks his own magic power and cannot support the true power of this thing.

And now, he has already ignited the crow fire on the two commanders.

Their magic power was burned by the crow fire and turned into nourishment for the crow fire. The power it burned was even more violent than what Yu Que could maintain on his own.

On top of that, Yu Que added some incense and paper money. With the help of the strong incense, this fire would be like adding fuel to the fire!

It can be said that the only chance for the two opponents to survive is the moment when Yu Que uses true fire.

When they saw the true fire surging, if the two commanders chose to flee quickly, without Yu Que's care, the true fire that fell on them, even if it was strong, was rootless, and they had many ways to extinguish it.

"No!" A shrill cry suddenly rang out in the pool.

One of the two commanders immediately ignored everything and tried to escape at the risk of his life.

But at this time, Yu Que had a sneer on his face and pointed at the other party again.

With a whoosh, a fire snake flew out from his sleeve.

This fire snake broke through the opponent's magic barrier easily like a hot knife cutting lard, and fell on the man's body, causing him to scream even more miserably.

This man was forced to do this, and his body had to expand rapidly. In the blink of an eye, layers of armor that looked like dead wood grew around him, turning him into a tree man.

Clap, clap, the vines kept slapping on its body, trying to put out the burning real fire.

However, this action had no effect at all, and instead made the true fire burn more fiercely.

The fire snake just now was transformed from a trace of sixth-grade true fire energy in Yu Que's hand.

Just a trace of sixth-grade true fire energy is enough to increase the power of Yu Que's Crow Fire to a higher level, leaving the enemy with no resistance.

Sneering.

The other person was so frightened when he saw this that he wanted to run away immediately while Yu Que was not paying attention.

As a result, Yu Que snapped his fingers again, and another trace of true fire energy flew out, swirling and landing on this person's body, amplifying the true fire on his body surface.

Next.

Amidst a few howls, the two huge ghosts and gods commanding their bodies were completely drained and ignited by the crow fire, transforming into two trembling torches.

However, during their dying struggle, several ghost cavalrymen under Yu Que were accidentally involved and were buried with them.

This immediately made Yu Que show a trace of pain on his face.

He only lost his life, but what he lost were the soldiers he had worked so hard to train.

Yu Que then gathered the remaining twenty-one ghost cavalrymen and turned to protect himself tightly to prevent any spies from secretly attacking him.

Just when Yu Que was estimating that it would take at least a quarter of an hour to completely burn the two seventh-rank commanders to death, something strange happened in the dry pool.

Streams of spiritual energy rose from the spiritual liquid in the pool.

Sensing the rich spiritual energy, greed and brutality suddenly arose in Yu Que's heart, making him stare straight at the spiritual liquid.

In his sight, a crystal blossomed from the spiritual liquid, then swayed and unfolded, turning into a crystal clear flower, shaped like a lotus, with more than ten petals.

This thing was originally transparent, but it was rooted in the spiritual liquid dyed red by blood, and a trace of red surged up, turning it into scarlet in the blink of an eye.

"Spiritual plant? Wonderful thing of heaven and earth?"

Yu Que looked at this thing and his breathing became heavy.

He suppressed the greed in his heart and acted cautiously, so he did not immediately go forward to take it off.

Sure enough, the next moment, the scene that made him fearful appeared.

The blood lotus, which originally looked magnificent and weird, suddenly rose up with its petals, grew bigger with its fangs and claws, and then grabbed the two commanders who were struggling in front of it.

With howls, the bodies of the two commanders fell to the ground, and their souls were swallowed by the huge lotus mouthparts and chewed continuously.

Yu Que's eyelids twitched when he saw this scene.

The nameless fire in his heart was extinguished, and his body quickly retreated.

Just when Yu Que was afraid of this thing, the blood lotus that had swallowed the two commanding souls suddenly trembled all over and swayed continuously, as if it had eaten something unclean.

Yu Que stopped retreating suddenly. He looked carefully and found a trace of true fire coming out from the blood-colored flower bud.

Layers of blood light surged on the snow lotus, trying to extinguish the true fire, but the true fire was tenacious and the two refused to give in.

Seeing this, Yu Que's eyes lit up and he was filled with surprise.

Obviously, after this strange spiritual plant accidentally swallowed the crow fire, it could not control itself and was now in a state of "indigestion".

"And eat more!"

Yu Que immediately took out some fluffy paper money from his sleeve and scattered it forward. He also held a few incense pills in his hand and threw them at the blood lotus.

With the blessing of the rich incense, the Blood Lotus trembled even more, but it still chose not to speak and spit out the two commanding souls in its body.

Although it has already brought disaster upon itself, even if it spits out the souls of the two commanders, it will be of no avail.

As the creature trembled, it chose to retract its body, shrinking once again to the size of a baby's head and sinking into the spiritual liquid.

Seeing this, Yu Que narrowed his eyes slightly.

He looked around for a few times, then simply snapped his fingers and released the Fire Crow directly from the ancestral temple. It circled over the blood lotus, continuously spitting fire to burn it...
