Chapter 319 Slaying the Flood Dragon and Seizing the Extraordinary Treasure

The wind blows.

A faint smell of blood permeated the woods. Miss Sun squatted down to examine the corpse on the ground and said in a low voice, "They must have been killed last night!"

"It won't take more than three hours."

If it weren't for Duncan's God's-eye view, Sun would definitely be the most important support unit in the group.

Fu Jianhan picked up the Crimson Fierce Palm manual from the ground, flipped through it casually, and put it in his sleeve. He practiced martial arts from various schools and was used to collecting all kinds of manuals. This martial art followed the Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian and condensed a different kind of true energy. When he struck out with his palm, it was like a red-hot branding iron, which was very compatible with his true energy.

"It was probably those flying zombies that did it."

Yu Yaonu examined the wound and frowned, saying, "The corpse poison has attacked the heart. If it's not treated, it might turn into a zombie tonight."

She and Miss Sun, one studied medicine and the other studied poisons.

Can it even turn into a zombie?

Wouldn't that mean we could save them and kill them again tonight?
Duncan seemed to have thought of some strange way to kill monsters. Fu Jianhan, who was about to make a move, was stopped by him and said, "Don't rush, it will be useful later."

Upon hearing this, Fu Jianhan sheathed his longsword. He had spent many years operating in the northern frontier and was skilled in tracking. He had once single-handedly hunted down thirteen notorious bandits in the northern frontier. He simply squatted down to look at the footprints on the ground and said in a deep voice, "They went in that direction."

Duncan nodded slightly, zoomed in on the God's-eye view, and sure enough, he saw a fleeting red dot, right at the edge of the minimap.

"go!"

His figure soared into the air, and the others followed suit. However, unlike Fu Jianhan, Duncan saw not just one red dot, but two.

—The Mad Monk Who Breaks Bones (Flying Zombie) (Five-pointed silver-gray).

The nearest red dot was hiding under piles of rotting wood and leaves; if Duncan hadn't been using his God's-eye view, it would have been very difficult to spot them.

The flying zombie seemed to have regained some of its senses, hiding there motionless, as if it intended to ambush others.

The other red dot marker is rather strange!
Duncan had seen it before, but it disappeared quickly. However, it reappeared not long after, and it wasn't on the flat map; it seemed to be located on a different level.

"Could there be an underground river below?"

Duncan heard the sound of flowing water. The terrain in southern Xinjiang is quite unique, with many places having underground rivers and caves.

The legendary stalactites that have stood for thousands of years are said to originate from this region.

——Mysterious Serpent (transformed into a dragon) (five-star gold)!
South of the Black River, there lives a black serpent that eats dust.

The enemy's marker is difficult to detect, and its exact location is unclear. All that can be seen is a constantly moving red dot, which seems to be quite large, perhaps like a giant python.

"Stop!"

"Something's not right ahead. Yin energy is gathering; there's probably an ambush."

Duncan couldn't explain the God's-eye view, but he was a master of cultivating Qi and Sha. When he spoke, everyone immediately stopped. Fu Jianhan trusted him completely and asked, "Yin Sha condensing? Could it be that flying zombies created by that old monster from the Demonic Sect are nearby?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Yaonu took down the small basket from her waist, holding a flying insect in her palm. The insect trembled slightly, as if sensing some kind of danger.

She immediately said, "There should be something malevolent ahead; my Gu worms can sense it."

"I just don't know the exact location!"

Duncan pointed in a direction, then gestured to the others with his eyes. Fu Jianhan's figure soared into the air, climbing the ancient tree like a flying ape. Yu Yaonu flicked her long whip and quickly disappeared into the dense foliage.

Miss Sun gave him a serious look and said softly, "Be careful!"

Several silver needles appeared in her palm. She channeled her true energy into them, and they glowed faintly. Her figure disappeared like a butterfly flitting among flowers.

With Lu Shanjun absent, Duncan is the strongest front-line tank here.

A master of external martial arts is not afraid of being ambushed.

"I need to find an opportunity to let them know that my senses are far sharper than those of ordinary people."

Duncan moved slowly forward alone, as if drawn by the bloodstains, gradually approaching the location of the flying zombie.

really.

As his figure approached, the flying zombie immediately made a move, but it still endured and waited for its prey to enter its twenty-foot range.

Flying zombies, as the name suggests, possess the ability to fly and move with extreme speed.

Click.

As if Duncan had inadvertently broken a branch, the completely zombie-like Mad Monk could no longer contain himself. With a burst of energy, countless withered branches and decaying leaves flew everywhere, and a figure rushed towards Duncan like lightning.

Well come!
Duncan charged forward, his palms brimming with malevolent energy, his fingers as sharp as gold and iron. With a deafening roar, the corpse of the Mad Monk was sent flying backward, only to spring back up straight.

This palm strike seemed to hit an iron plate, even producing a metallic clang.

After the Mad Monk of Broken Bones turned into a zombie, his bones and muscles became even more terrifying. His turbid pupils revealed a bloodthirsty look, and his mouth was full of sharp fangs. Unlike the zombies in later legends, he moved almost like an ordinary person.

A stream of corpse energy spewed from its mouth. After straightening up, the flying zombie once again soared into the air, as if it had sprung its legs and shrunk its body. Its sharp five claws pierced straight for Duncan's throat.

But just then, a figure descended from the sky.

Fu Jianhan's figure appeared on the treetop of the ancient tree. His three-foot-long sword condensed into a sword light, and a pure yang sword energy slashed out, leaving a deep wound on the monster's back that revealed the bone. However, no blood could be seen, and the wound looked like torn old leather.

The Thousand Spider Poison Hand.

Jade Waist Slave's figure followed closely behind, flying out from the other side. Her palms turned into a dark blue color, and the lines on her palms, under the circulation of true energy, resembled a blue spider. She lightly struck the back of the flying zombie, and the zombie's flesh instantly rotted. The putrid poison attacked its heart meridian, and even melted a bit of the bones in its spine.

Several points of cold light pierced the air, and the flying needles pierced the skull of the flying zombie.

The Meridian-Clearing Divine Needle.

Miss Sun fired nine silver needles in quick succession. Her technique was unique, capable of breaking through the protective aura of a master of external martial arts, and naturally, it could also break through the evil aura of this zombie. Two silver needles pierced directly into the flying zombie's eyeballs, one disappeared into its temple, and the other was sealed into its brow. All the silver needles were completely embedded to the root.

Aside from his role as Dongfang Bubai in the movies, Duncan has never seen anyone wield a flying needle with such masterful skill.

As soon as Miss Sun made her move, the flying zombie was momentarily stunned.

Without hesitation, Duncan slammed down with his palm, gathering all his inner energy in his hands, making them as hard as metal. With a crack, just like cracking a walnut, he smashed the skull of the Mad Monk. After the monster's head was smashed, it stood upright in place, like an iron stake, with half of its body buried in the mud.

"Dead yet?"

Fu Jianhan landed and tapped the corpse of the Broken Bone Mad Monk with his sword, making a loud thud.

A surge of malevolent energy entered his body.

Duncan's true energy bar instantly increased by a small segment, and the baleful energy within his body became even more condensed.

effective.

These zombies resurrected by the old monster of the Demonic Sect can actually improve his cultivation level if he kills them again, but mainly by increasing his malevolent energy, since zombies are inherently ferocious creatures.

"Should be dead."

Miss Sun frowned as she fiddled with the brain matter to retrieve the silver needles. She didn't carry enough silver needles with her, as each use of this miraculous skill would reduce the number of needles by a few, so she had to be careful with them.

The Five Immortals Sect's holy maiden stepped forward, examined the corpse from head to toe, and pulled out a small dagger, saying, "Help me out."

"I'll try to collect some corpse poison."

The four of them worked together, and in a small test, they even took down a five-star silver-gray flying zombie in one round. As long as they didn't encounter an ridiculously strong enemy, they had no problem at all.

"There seems to be some movement ahead."

Duncan leaped to the edge of the dark pool, glanced down, and a strange red color made his breath catch in his throat.

——Zhu Guo (wonderful object)!
Such rare and precious materials are simply impossible to find outside; they have been dug up by those seeking immortality and enlightenment since the Qin and Han dynasties.

When Fu Jianhan and the others arrived, they immediately became breathless. Yu Yaonu even looked somewhat eager to try, but Miss Sun said solemnly, "Where there is a spiritual object, there is bound to be danger."

Duncan then slowly said, "There seems to be something down there."

Miss Sun gazed intently for a while, then said softly, "It should be the Vermilion Fruit without a doubt."

"But it is not yet fully mature; it probably needs another ten years or so to mature."

Take that with you too.

These rare and precious materials grow extremely slowly, and they simply cannot afford to wait.

Does it necessarily have to be a thousand-year-old ginseng?
Is 990 years old not acceptable?

Duncan saw the red dot approaching from God's perspective. It was a black serpent that was over ten zhang long, with scales all over its body like a dragon. He didn't know how many years it had been cultivating in this cold pool, but it didn't seem to have much intelligence.

This enlightenment also depends on fate; only when one's spiritual intelligence is awakened can one truly embark on the path of cultivation.

"How do I take it?" Fu Jianhan asked.

Miss Sun hesitated. Of the four people present, she had the best lightness skill. The pool was dozens of feet deep, and the others might not be able to succeed in an instant. However, she was also a little uneasy at the moment, and felt that there was some danger below the pool.

Fu Jianhan hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "How about I give it a try?" Neither of the two women were good at close combat. If they wanted to get the Vermilion Fruit below, either he or Duncan would have to do it.

Fu Jianhan's lightness skill also allows him to walk on water, but it is definitely not as good as Miss Sun's.

Duncan pondered for a moment, whispered a few words in Fu Jianhan's ear, his expression gradually becoming serious. He then nodded slightly, signaled to the people beside him, tied the vine around his waist, and then leaped down.

"careful!"

Fu Jianhan gathered his inner energy and, with utmost caution, sped toward the direction of that eerie red figure.

In an instant!
A huge, ferocious black shadow emerged from the bottom of the pool. It was extremely fast, and with a gaping maw, Fu Jianhan instantly unleashed a three-foot-long sword aura. The young lady Sun beside him also shot out silver needles.

"Xuan Snake!?"

"Heavens! The opportunity for me to master the Heavenly Serpent Bone-Changing Technique was right here!"

Yu Yaonu raised her hand and sprinkled out a cloud of poison powder, which was actually a prescription for snakes. The black snake was doused with the powder and immediately became agitated.

Up!
Come back here!

—The Buddha's feat of throwing an elephant!

Duncan unleashed his full strength in an instant, and Fu Jianhan, who had gone quickly, returned even faster, being flung away by him.

A short gun flew out.

Duncan leaped down and actually landed on top of the giant snake's head.

Miss Sun's silver needle pierced directly into the snake's eyes. Her hidden weapon was as fast as a shooting star, completely invisible to the naked eye. The black snake's scales, which were like black iron, were useless. Its eyes were instantly blinded, and after a painful hiss, it actually tried to escape into the underground river.

"Where to go!"

Yu Yaonu even used her most secret skills. Her long whip whistled through the air as she unleashed the Balong Whip Technique. Balong is the Bashe snake, and the saying "a snake trying to swallow an elephant" refers to the Bashe snake.

puff!

A spurt of blood gushed out.

Duncan's figure fell into the dark pool. Before he even touched the water, a vortex of energy erupted, and his figure flew across the water, stirring up waves a meter high. He channeled his inner energy into his head and slammed it directly into the chin of the black snake.

The black serpent went berserk, its body coiling around Duncan like a giant python, then it opened its blood-red maw, trying to swallow him whole.

"not good!"

"careful!"

Miss Sun's expression changed drastically, and she fired all twelve needles at once. However, the black serpent was not human, so it was difficult to seal its meridians and cut off its defenses. If the needles were fired at its scales, they might not even be able to break through its defenses.

Innate pure Yang sword energy.

Seeing Duncan about to be swallowed by the giant snake, Fu Jianhan didn't care about anything else. He drank a mouthful of strong liquor, ignited his true energy with the Dionysian Incantation, and unleashed a pure yang fire, transforming it into a three-zhang-long flaming sword that slashed down.

Yu Yaonu was also somewhat worried at this moment. She directly crushed the blood centipede in her sleeve, her pretty face turning from white to green as her poison skills were pushed to the limit.

It's now!

Seeing the gaping maw coming at him, Duncan didn't hesitate at all. He unleashed his true energy to the fullest extent, and his feet created a sonic boom as he broke free from the black serpent's coils with brute force. He then charged headlong into its open mouth.

Five Fist Sword Qi.

Duncan concentrated all his true energy and qi at his Shaoshang acupoint, causing his true energy to boil. A mouthful of blood choked him, and he also suffered internal injuries from the backlash of his true energy. Last time, when he blew up the pavilion, he almost suffered a qi deviation. A golden sword light flashed like a streak of light, followed by a loud explosion. Half of the Xuan Snake's skull was blown away.

The serpents dance wildly!

A sea of ​​blood churned!
Blood gushed from the Xuan Snake's body, even soaking Miss Sun, who was more than ten feet away. Duncan roared and grabbed the Xuan Snake's skull with both hands. Then, a tooth-grinding sound rang out as he ripped the Xuan Snake's head open from the middle, lifting the entire skull and exposing the brain tissue inside.

The Hegemon lifted the tripod.

Black Tiger Fist.

Duncan smashed the black serpent's brain with a punch, and a foul stench hit him. The black serpent's venom had reached its throat, but it was no longer able to spew out its poison.

Rumble!
Water splashed everywhere.

Duncan's figure fell into the dark pool, one arm cradling the still twitching corpse of the black snake. He was slightly out of breath and seemed to be struggling as he said, "Come and give me a hand!"

"It's going to sink!"

This black serpent is over ten zhang long. If it sinks to the bottom of the dark pool and gets caught in the underground river, then all our efforts will be in vain.

None of them were good at diving, so they couldn't retrieve it at all.

Plop.

Yu Yaonu was the first to jump into the water to help, and Fu Jianhan followed suit. Miss Sun threw out the vines, and after everyone tied them up, they together pulled the enormous creature out of the water.

"call!"

"I never thought we could take down such a big guy!"

"It's almost turning into a dragon!"

Fu Jianhan accidentally drank a few mouthfuls of dragon blood, and his face turned a little red.

Duncan took a breath, looked at the jade-waisted slave girl beside him stroking the corpse of the black serpent as if she had seen a supreme treasure, and said in a deep voice, "Don't just stand there. Can you cook?"

"First, stew a pot of dragon meat to replenish your vital energy."

You definitely can't take this with you.

Let's have a meal first, and leave the rest nearby. We can deal with it slowly after we take over Baoxuan Cave.

"meeting!"

Yu Yaonu nodded repeatedly, then broke open the snake's body, first taking out a huge snake gall, and handed it to Duncan, saying, "Little brother."

"Eat this first; it will cure all poisons and bring you benefits in the future."

Duncan nodded, cut it open with his sword, dividing it into four portions, one for each person. It was incredibly bitter; even the men who had crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood were frowning in agony.

Yu Yaonu seemed to be very familiar with snakes. She cut herself to the seventh inch, her face filled with wild joy. Ignoring the blood covering her body, she pulled out a strange, fist-sized, crimson elixir.
Demon elixir?

Miss Sun also looked surprised. She took off the vermilion fruit, pondered for a moment, and had already figured out the ingredients for the elixir.

Given the limited resources available, we'll allocate as many points as we can.

It would be such a waste to eat it directly.

If the Medicine King's Cauldron were here, she might actually be able to concoct some extraordinary elixirs.

The group stayed there for half a day.

When they left, Fu Jianhan's mark had turned into a five-pointed silver-gray mark, while Miss Sun's power had increased significantly, turning into a five-pointed gold mark. Yu Yaonu did not show any obvious improvement, but she had gained a special affix called "Heavenly Serpent Bone Transformation Technique".

I don't know if it's just my imagination, but her waist really does look a bit like a snake's waist.

The black serpent's corpse was hidden in a corner of the dark pool.

I do not know how long it has been.

A whooshing sound rang out, and then a strange woman in a blood-red robe appeared. Her eyes were hungry as she searched for something, and finally found the corpse of the black snake at the bottom of the dark pool.

The woman pounced forward and drank the blood to her heart's content. She drank for an unknown amount of time until the black serpent's essence was almost completely drained.

When she finally raised her head, her stunningly beautiful appearance changed, as if she had transformed from a pretty young girl into a mature woman. This transformation was no less remarkable than the miraculous feat of the Heavenly Mountain Child Granny.

A drop of blood dripped down her crimson lips. After drinking the essence of the black serpent, the eerie woman's dark eyes seemed to regain some clarity.

She paused for a moment, then took to the air and chased after Duncan and his group in the direction they had gone.

This eerie woman awoke from the thousand-year-old tomb, her vital essence depleted and her mind clouded. Now, having absorbed the essence of the Xuan Snake, she had finally regained some of her strength. Her delicate brows furrowed, as if deep in thought. She sniffed the air and murmured, "The Undying Body of the Heavenly Demon?"

"wrong!"

Why does that person practice such strange techniques?

The people she encountered after waking up all had strange and unusual ways of cultivating the Heavenly Demon Undying Body.

Duncan had fought the Black Serpent before and was also injured. His blood was mixed in with it. She was extremely surprised by just tasting a trace of blood.

This tastes amazing!

If she hadn't known the other person's age, she would have almost thought she had drunk a mouthful of blood from a blood pool, or that she had tasted a trace of the blood of a demon god.

The blood of Chi You and Xing Tian tastes just like this.
