Your secret game is absolutely poisonous!

Chapter 129 The Fragrance of the Source

Higanbana admitted it.

The Black Light arc of Frenzy is quite entertaining.

But for her, Ashina is the top priority of her strategy.

She won't spend too much energy on other secret realms until she has completely completed the Ashina arc.

And today.

The Ashina chapter will usher in major progress and breakthroughs!
Because in the past twenty-four hours, adventurers led by the Time Traveler, one or two thousand people online and offline, worked together to conduct a comprehensive study of "The Eternal Journey: The Gift of Insects" and "The Eternal Journey: The Return of the Dragon".

Blackrock Town in history.

Never before has the plot of a secret realm aroused such enthusiasm among adventurers.

There is strength in numbers.

With everyone working together.

Finally, the specific operation method of "Dragon's Return" was cracked.

This plan is more perfect than the ancient method of severing the Dragon's Blood, but it is also extremely harsh.

Among them, the ancient method of severing the Dragon's Blood requires one to go to the fairyland, find a material called "Dragon's Tears" and have the Dragon's Blood Son take it, and then kill the Son with the Undead Slash, or have the Dragon's Blood servant commit suicide with the Undead Slash.

This method requires sacrificing one of the Dragon's Heir Sons or Dragon's Heir Servant to temporarily break the Dragon's Heir Curse and allow the other person to return to normal.

however.

It only treats the symptoms but not the root cause.

So the adventurers decided to complete a "Return of the Dragon"!
According to the Yonglv Sutra, three things are needed to complete the Dragon's Return Plan, and these three things are: "Dragon Tears", "Ice Tears", and "Transformation into the Son of God".

Everything is extremely difficult!

Needless to say, the dragon tears are among them.

Let’s not think about how difficult it is to obtain dragon tears from the ancient gods.

Just getting to the fairyland is very troublesome!
Adventurers need to collect the Stone of Habitat, the Fragrant Water Lotus, and the Evergreen Sakura Wood to make the Fragrance of Origin. Only by possessing the Fragrance of Origin can they marry into the fairyland, otherwise they will not even be qualified to get close to the God of Origin!
After dozens of adventurers conducted investigations in Ashina, and with the information provided by Kuro and Yongzhen, they now have a general understanding of how to obtain these materials.

The "Stone of Habitat" may be found in a place called Shuisheng Village at the bottom of Ashina that has been lost for many years.

The "Fragrant Water Lotus" is a rare material that grows in the collapsed canyon Bodhisattva Valley behind Ashina Castle.

As for the "evergreen cherry tree", it is more troublesome. Although the previous generation of God's son brought an evergreen cherry tree from the fairyland, it is said that because the branches were broken off by his adoptive father Owl, the evergreen cherry tree has withered and cannot be used.

In other words, you must find the owl in order to get the Changying fragrant wood.

So complicated.

Such trouble.

The difficulty is extremely high.

But it aroused the fighting spirit of adventurers.

It is because of the difficulties that the challenges are worth taking!
Precisely because of the difficulty, the sense of accomplishment gained after completing this series of feats will be even greater!

Two or three hundred adventurers focused on Ashina Country have united together. They will spare no expense and use all means to complete the Dragon's Return Plan as quickly as possible!

First, select ten adventurer representatives.

Among them are adventurers such as Baihe Jushi, Higanbana, and Sanzhu.

They all have two characteristics.

First, higher levels and more energy provide more opportunities for challenges.

Secondly, their exploration progress in Ashina Country is obviously ahead of others. Their understanding of playing as wolves and fighting against Ashina is also ahead of others, so they can have higher exploration efficiency.

After the top ten adventurer representatives were selected.

They no longer need to queue up and can continue to challenge the secret realm, while others provide assistance, reference and intelligence support.

Only in this way can we ensure it.

Complete difficult tasks in the shortest time possible!

It has been many years since Baihe Jushi has seen adventurers so united and serious about a secret realm.

Naturally, I agreed.

Higanbana is a woman with a strong desire to win and win. When she saw that hundreds of adventurers attached so much importance to the Dragon's Return Plan, she naturally took the lead.

Be the first to clear Ashina Country!
If you can be the first to achieve the Dragon's Return!

This will be a major event that will be recorded forever in the history of Miracle City and on the monument of the Ten Kingdoms Secret Realm!
Must be achieved!

In this way, adventurers formed a raiding group.

They also held a special oath-taking ceremony.

Then the action officially began to launch an offensive against Ashina!
When the Black Stone Hammer King transformed into Alex and was active in Manhattan, New York.

The red spider lily has set off,

Head to the Collapse Canyon of Ashina!
With Higanbana's operation and the wolf's mobility and skills, the journey took three or four hours.

She first teleported to the underground of Ashina Castle through the Demon Buddha, and then walked through the intricate cave system in the opposite direction of Senpoji Temple to the ancient White Snake Shrine.

This White Snake Shrine is evidence that the ancient Ashina people worshipped the White Snake God as a mountain god.

The red spider lily continues to move forward.

Next, we will pass through the complex and extremely steep Falling Valley.

The overall terrain here is mainly thousands of meters deep vertically, with multiple layers of cliffs, ancient broken bridges and caves, and you must use grappling hooks frequently and accurately to pass through.

A single mistake can lead to destruction.

During this process, you will pass through a heavily defended iron cannon fortress with careful precautions.

This area is mainly composed of metal structures and wooden platforms, filled with gunpowder barrels and fortifications.

Among them is a group of descendants of the ancient Ashina Kingdom. They defend the dangerous places like bandits, rule the mountains and are extremely hostile to outsiders.

What's even worse is.

These guys have mastered powerful firearms. Perhaps due to the special materials of Ashina firearms, although the precision is not as good as those in the world of frenzy, the lethality is far greater than ordinary firearms in the world of frenzy.

In addition, there are several second-level, two- and three-star elite masters guarding the place. It is extremely difficult for adventurers to pass through it on their own.

To get through these areas.

Even Higanbana died nine times before she was able to break through the Iron Cannon Fortress and officially enter the deepest part of the Collapse Canyon.

"finally reached!"

The journey took four hours.

Finally, a ghost Buddha was activated in the depths of the canyon.

According to the information provided by the Ghost Buddha, this place is called Bodhisattva Valley.

The adventurer learned from Jiulang that Bodhisattva Valley is the bottom of the Falling Valley and the deepest part of the Collapse Gorge, and it is also the place where the "Fragrant Water Lotus" can be found.

“Is this Bodhisattva Valley?”

Upon hearing the news, alien adventurers such as Nancylia, Jinba, and Luke came to the crystal to observe.

"This place is too difficult to reach. Leader Higanbana is the only one who has successfully arrived!"

Everyone can see through the secret crystal.

Although Bodhisattva Valley is located at the bottom of the Fallen Valley, it is not a completely restricted area for civilization.

The remains of Buddha statues and stone sculptures of Buddha's hands can be seen everywhere here, and some Buddhist niches and caves can be vaguely seen on the cliffs on both sides.

These traces, combined with the name of Bodhisattva Valley, indicate that this place was once a religious treasure land in the very ancient past.

The antiquity and heritage of the Ashina land.

This can be seen continuously in these details.

Although Higanbana successfully arrived at Bodhisattva Valley, she did not dare to be careless at all. It turned out that caution was necessary, because after just a few steps, she encountered big trouble in the literal sense.

"It's the White Snake God!"

“It’s actually here!”

The adventurer saw through the secret crystal that a huge white snake appeared in Bodhisattva Valley. It was about 500 meters long and was most likely the same one that the Wool Warrior encountered during his previous adventure.

The White Snake God is a third-level monster.

Possesses almost overwhelming power.

When adventurers are discovered to have entered the territory, a frenzied attack is unavoidable.

Higanbana used her ninja prosthetic arm to move quickly, and finally hid in a cave, barely escaping the disaster at the critical moment.

"too frightening!"

The flower demon Iris was shocked and said, "I never thought that such a terrifying monster would be lurking in the Ashina Kingdom!"

Nancy Liya introduced: "The White Snake God is a third-level, two-star peak monster. It is overwhelmingly powerful to wolves. There is no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation!"

The dwarf Jinba and the dog-headed man Luke also felt a shudder from the bottom of their souls.

Even through crystal.

There is still a hint of instinctive fear.

They don’t know what it’s like to face this giant monster live!
While walking through the cave to avoid the White Snake God, Higanbana said, "Although the White Snake God is very strong, this guy must be killed!"

"why?"

"Because in order to complete the 'Dragon's Return' plan, one of the three main ingredients, Ice Tears, requires Snake Persimmon!"

The dwarf Jinba was stunned: "Snake persimmon? What is that?"

Nancy Liya explained: "You can understand that the material made from the essence and blood of the White Snake God is very precious."

Luke: "Killing the White Snake God...this is too difficult!"

Time Traveler: "The hardest part is that you have to collect two snake persimmons to make Ice Tears, one fresh and one dried."

The so-called fresh persimmons are snake persimmons made from the fresh essence and blood of the white snake god.

The so-called dried persimmon is a special kind of snake persimmon formed by the worship of fresh snake persimmons for hundreds of years.

It’s difficult!
Several alien adventurers.

The human adventurer watched by the crowd.

Everyone feels the difficulty of the dragon's return home.

Whether it is Dragon Tears, Ice Tears, or the Transformation of God's Son, obtaining and making them is extremely difficult. No wonder Ashina has never succeeded in thousands of years.

“I believe we can do it!”

"This is the problem and test the Lord has given us!"

"Since Old Thief Qi would ask such a question, he must have a perfect way to answer it. We can't let Old Thief Qi look down on us!"

"..."

Red spider lily passes through the cave.

Finally got rid of the threat of the White Snake.

She continued to explore deeper into Bodhisattva Valley, and finally saw a huge reclining Buddha in the distance, and below the Buddha was a large open shallow beach.

“There’s a ghost Buddha!”

"The direction is correct!"

"It's not a good idea for a demon Buddha to appear in a place like this."

"This means there might be considerable danger ahead, perhaps even a formidable enemy!" "..."

The red spider lily activates the ghost Buddha to continue moving forward.

In the deepest part of the shallows, beneath the huge reclining Buddha, she discovered a giant beast.

It was a giant ape with white hair, facing the reclining Buddha with its back facing the adventurer, while in front of it was protecting a bluish-white lotus.

"This is... Fragrant Water Lotus!"

"found it!"

"This is one of the three main ingredients for making the Source Fragrance!"

"A legendary flower that blooms in areas where thick source waters accumulate!"

"..."

All the adventurers were extremely excited.

At least five adventurers headed to Bodhisattva Valley.

But so far only Higanbana has arrived.

After going through untold hardships and literally escaping death, we finally made a major discovery!

Although Higanbana was very excited, she did not dare to be careless at all, because the giant ape next to the fragrant water lily caught her attention.

[You have unlocked the Monster Guide: Lion Ape! ]

"This is no ordinary ape!" Higanbana said solemnly, "It has the strength of a second-level four-star!"

Level 2, four stars?

So strong?
Everyone was shocked.

Wolf's ninja skills and body are recovering along the way.

His strength is constantly improving, but it is only at the second-level, two-star level.

The gap is quite big!
But the red spider lily is not afraid at all.

He pulled out the wedge pill and walked towards the lion ape.

"Roar!"

The lion ape was startled and turned around.

This giant ape was five meters tall. Its neck was pierced by a huge sword, and there was a deep knife scar on its left cheek. Its whole body exuded a ferocious and violent aura.

After taking a piece of Agong candy, Higanbana immediately launched an active attack.

This giant ape is indeed powerful, but its attack methods are not complicated. It includes continuous claw strikes, dangerous ground-smashing techniques, continuous hammering, and jumping and re-shooting.

With Wolf's current strength and Higanbana's operational level, most of these attacks can be seen through and defended against.

The lion ape also has some attacks, such as spitting poison gas and various grabbing abilities.

Such attacks are unstoppable.

The red spider lily can also avoid it with the help of the wolf's crisis warning.

After adapting for a few rounds, she gradually found the rhythm of the battle.

After more than a dozen rounds.

The lion ape was at a disadvantage.

Higanbana's eyes flashed with brilliance, she dodged a grab, suddenly jumped up, and grabbed the sword stuck in the giant ape's neck.

Although this sword is quite old, it pierced the lion ape's tough fur, with most of the blade embedded in the neck, which is just right for adventurers to use.

With a sudden force.

The lion ape's entire head was cut off.

Higanbana casually stuck the sword into the ground and glanced at the headless ape corpse, "Nothing more than that!"

Done.

Walk towards the lotus.

Just about to pick it.

"Boss Higanbana, be careful!"

"No! This monster isn't dead yet!"

not dead?

impossible!

The red spider lily suddenly turned around.

The headless lion ape has stood up again.

Black blood was flowing from its broken neck, and insects could be vaguely seen moving in it. It held its own head in its left hand and pulled up the large sword on the ground with its right hand.

[You have unlocked the Monster Guide: Headless Lion Ape! ]

"Immortal Bug!"

Higanbana makes a judgment.

She immediately reached out to pull out the Undead Sword.

The headless lion ape suddenly let out a roar that shook the valley, and the roar seemed to transform into a red, fishy wind that swept over.

not good!

The red spider lily felt as if it was enveloped by a red fishy wind. In an instant, its internal organs shook violently, it felt dizzy and fell into a state of disorientation.

next moment.

The headless lion ape raised his sword and slashed it down.

A flash of sharp knife light turned the adventurer in front of him into a headless man.

"hateful!"

A few minutes later.

Higanbana challenges again.

This headless lion ape is very powerful, almost reaching the third level of strength, and has the characteristics of immortality, so it is not easy to deal with.

Especially the Lion's Roar!

This move not only has considerable lethality, but also has a mental attack effect. Once hit, the opponent will lose the ability to move and be killed.

Failed five times in a row.

Higanbana finally found a way to deal with the headless lion ape. She can use the fear-repelling powder and the mechanical umbrella ninja tool to fight against it.

Finally on the sixth challenge.

Higanbana mastered the correct fighting style, accurately deflecting every fatal attack and seizing the opportunity to pick out the giant centipede-like undead insect in the lion ape's neck.

"Go to hell!"

Quickly pull out the Undead Slash.

With one blow, the undead insect was cut in half.

Another knife stabbed into the headless lion ape's body.

The giant ape let out a cry of pain and relief, and finally collapsed completely.

"Won!"

"Boss Higanbana is awesome!"

"This is definitely a very powerful enemy."

"From my perspective, among the current adventurers in Miracle City, there are no more than five who are capable of defeating it on their own within ten lives."

"The lion ape seems to have a story. Why is it here guarding the fragrant lotus?"

"Where did the knife on it come from? Who came here to fight this terrifying beast and almost kill it?"

"Actually, this expert has already won, but I didn't expect this lion-ape to be immortal. I'm afraid the outcome won't be good..."

Higanbana was also satisfied with such a thrilling battle, and she liked the feeling of heartbeat, excitement, and even tension and fear.

In this state.

The speed of cultivation will be greatly accelerated.

Sometimes, the red spider lily only blames itself for being too brave.

So few secret realms make her nervous, let alone afraid, otherwise her cultivation level would definitely be higher.

Don't waste time.

Pick the fragrant water lily immediately!
Higanbana asked, "How's the progress with Elder He and Elder Zhu?"

The white deer immediately said, "The old chairman and the old deer dean Baihe were trapped in the Hidden Forest for a long time. Fortunately, they have found a way out of the forest and successfully entered the Shuisheng Village."

Silly Goose: "Although we haven't found the Habitat Stone yet, we'll probably find it soon."

Higanbana nodded with satisfaction.

It seems that I am ahead again.

"With the old dean's ability, there will definitely be no problem in opening up Shuisheng Village!"

"With intelligence and strategies, Boss Higanbana will definitely be able to pass through the Hidden Forest and Aquatic Village more quickly."

"We can get two of the three main ingredients of the Source Fragrance within today!"

"As for the last Evergreen Flower... I don't know where my foster father is hiding. He's probably somewhere in Ashina Castle. It won't be too late to return to Ashina after I find the other two materials!"

"..."

Higanbana said, "Old He and his men haven't yet conquered Shuisheng Village, so I won't go there for now. After all, I have something important to do here."

The Time Traveler asked, "Do you think..."

"That's right!"

Higanbana glanced outside Bodhisattva Valley and said, "The White Snake God's Snake Persimmon is the most important ingredient for making Ice Tears and achieving the 'Dragon's Homecoming'. I'll have to challenge it sooner or later anyway, so I want to give it a try!"

All the adventurers looked shocked.

It’s fine that Higanbana defeated the powerful Lion Ape.

She is actually going to continue to challenge the even more powerful White Snake God!

So crazy!
Can it be successful?

The adventurers are looking forward to it.

Qi Ji is also following the adventures of the adventurers in the Ashina chapter.

He had to admit that these guys were more active and efficient than he had imagined.

According to the current time and progress.

There is a great chance that we can collect the three major materials to make the Origin Incense and enter the Origin Palace within one day today.

If Higanbana really succeeds in killing the White Snake God and getting the fresh persimmons, she might be able to complete the extremely difficult perfect ending, Return of the Dragon, in one go!
