Da Si Nong: I really don’t want to farm

Chapter 523 Capture Alive? Kill?
The black dragon was extremely ferocious, but after fighting it, Xu Yue found that it seemed to only have a few tricks up its sleeve.

It spews poison, which appears in the form of poisonous smoke, poisonous mist, or even poisonous water.

Dragon tail sweeps, rams, claw strikes, etc.

However, although there are not many attack methods, they are all very powerful.

Especially the poison, which is highly corrosive.

This dragon cannot be allowed to remain; if it were to leave the mountain, it would likely cause widespread suffering and destruction.

Farmers tend to focus on farming, so their means of attack are actually limited.

Or rather, it's not that fierce.

Xu Yue swept across the globe, overwhelming other cultivators, mainly due to his superior cultivation level.

In fact, not many methods were used.

This also meant that he didn't put much effort into researching attack methods.

This contest, however, also made Xu Yue realize his weakness.

However, he was still quite adept at dealing with this venomous dragon.

At least for now, he is still dealing with the situation using supernatural techniques, without resorting to magical artifacts.

After leaving the cave, they hadn't even used the flying sword yet.

Xu Yue had to admit that the scales of this poisonous dragon were very hard, comparable to those of a flying sword.

But is attacking with flying swords useless?

Obviously not.

Although it didn't pierce the scales, the force of the impact must have still caused some damage to the venomous dragon.

Xu Yue used his farming skills on the poisonous dragon.

Although they didn't kill the venomous dragon, they still managed to beat it into a sorry state.

"Why do I have a feeling that Xu Yue is using that poisonous dragon as practice?"

Yan Tian couldn't help but speak up, while Ning Yun beside him nodded.

They stood atop a distant mountain peak, watching the battle between the human and the dragon, their initial tension turning into thoughtful contemplation.

Xu Yue used the venomous dragon for practice, and they benefited greatly from it.

This may be the correct way to engage in high-level battles.

Is there still a market for using supernatural powers to fight enemies in close combat?

Yan Tian is a martial arts practitioner, so he has no choice but to consider this now.

“Five Elements Divine Powers, Seasonal Divine Powers!” Ning Yun said. “He hasn’t used any magical artifacts yet, not even his flying sword. Among the Earth Element Divine Powers, he is most proficient in them, but the Metal Element Divine Powers seem to be the most powerful. The Twenty-Four Seasonal Divine Powers are somewhat less offensive.”

“The agricultural school is probably not good at the art of killing,” Yan Tian said. “Among the various schools of thought, the military school is probably the most skilled in killing, but their cultivation methods have been lost.”

“Among the various schools of thought, which one was not skilled in warfare?” Ning Yun shook his head and said, “If one didn’t have some skills, how could one leave a name? However, relatively speaking, the Agricultural School was indeed not skilled in warfare, otherwise it wouldn’t have been lost so severely.”

If Mencius had not mentioned the Farmer School in his writings, it is doubtful whether the name of the Farmer School would have survived.

Perhaps it will truly be buried in history.

"Array?"

Yan Tian suddenly spoke up, seeing Xu Yue throw out several array talismans, which condensed into an array.

It was a trapping formation that confined the poisonous dragon within the array, and then many supernatural powers were unleashed upon it.

The venomous dragon roared in a sorry state, but to no avail.

In the void, a huge jade millstone appeared and instantly sucked the poisonous dragon into it.

Ning Yun and the others were naturally familiar with the millstone.

It was made by Xu Yue by imitating the stone mill.

Is its power really that great?
Is it due to Xu Yue's cultivation level, or did he refine the material again to a higher grade after his cultivation level improved?

However, the venomous dragon was also formidable. Although it was tormented again and again, and its screams were extremely shrill, the damage it suffered did not seem to be as great as expected.

It looks like it's covered in blood, but it's probably just some superficial wounds.

"It's a pity it's a replica," Ning Yun said. "If it were that stone mill, it could probably grind it into powder. Perhaps, there's no difference in the superiority or inferiority of different supernatural abilities, nor is it that they are not good at killing; it's just a matter of how they are used."

Yan Tian nodded in agreement.

At least one of Xu Yue's seasonal supernatural powers could have finished him off.

Perhaps, the coverage area is even extremely wide.

Yan Tian recalled the heavy snowfall in New York that summer.

If this were in ancient times, its destructive power would be off the charts.

It can be very powerful when used properly, whether in cold or hot conditions.

"One is hot and the other is cold? Thermal expansion and contraction?"

Ning Yun suddenly said something.

Yan Tian was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening.

Xu Yue is trying to break through the poisonous dragon's physical defenses using current technology.

The venomous dragon struggled frantically, but its life force continued to decline.

Then Xu Yue placed a sealing rune on it, causing complete and utter turmoil.

"Captured alive?"

Yan Tian was somewhat surprised.

He had only hoped to kill it, not capture it alive.

After all, capturing them alive is much more difficult.

"Oh!"

The venomous dragon struggled frantically, and then shattered the sealing array.

Although there was an issue with the material of the array runes, the venomous dragon itself possessed a high enough level of cultivation.

Even if the materials used to make the sealing array are of high quality, the poisonous dragon will still be able to break free; it's only a matter of time.

Xu Yue's research on sealing array talismans was not very in-depth.

If they are difficult to capture alive, then kill them.

Even if they're dead, they can still be studied.

Swish!
The flying sword shot out instantly and pierced the head of the poisonous dragon.

The venomous dragon was only injured, not dead.

Isn't the vital point in the head?
Or is it just that its vitality is strong enough?

Xu Yue seemed to be deep in thought, then his flying sword rose again, directly slashing at the venomous dragon's vital spot.

This venomous dragon must have evolved from a python.

Xu Yue had already broken through the poisonous dragon's body; with a single sword strike, he pierced through its flesh.

Ok?
Xu Yue seemed to have discovered something, and immediately flew forward and pulled a golden bead directly from the wound.

The bead was golden yellow and emitted a pure energy.

Dragon Ball?

Or perhaps it's a dragon pearl?

Whatever it is, it must be something good.

Xu Yue didn't hesitate and put it away immediately.

He felt that if he refined and absorbed the energy of that bead, his cultivation level, even if he couldn't break through to the eighth realm, would probably be close.

This venomous dragon is extremely yin and evil, but this pearl is extremely yang and righteous.

All things in the world are in harmony with each other, yin and yang.

"Roar!"

The venomous dragon roared angrily, trying to snatch back what was its own, but it failed and collapsed, never to rise again.

Life gradually slips away until finally, death becomes inevitable.

The source of the poison in my body seems to have disappeared, and it will dissipate sooner or later.

The same applies to the surrounding poisonous fog; it just takes time.

"died?"

Ning Yun and the other person stepped forward and asked about Xu Yue.

As for the bead that Xu Yue had obtained before, they had naturally seen it as well.

However, none of them asked.

Xu Yue dealt with the venomous dragon, so the bead was naturally his spoils of war.

Besides, who could snatch something from Xu Yue?

Yan Tian never intended to use the greater good to coerce Xu Yue into handing it over.

"What should we do with this?" Xu Yue asked, pointing to the venomous dragon's corpse. "It should have research value, right?"

"It definitely has research value, and quite a bit," Yan Tian said. "After all, it's comparable to the seventh realm and has already transformed into a dragon." "How do we get it out?" Ning Yun asked. "We can't build a laboratory here, can we?"

The venomous dragon is dead, but the Ailao Mountains are still very dangerous.

No one knows if there are any other equally powerful, or even more powerful, items among them.

Moreover, before they encountered the venomous dragon, they were already in grave danger.

They are from the Fifth Realm.

It's hard to say whether those researchers will even be able to come here.

Building a laboratory?
Who will fix it?

It's impossible for them to fix it.

Therefore, the corpse of the poisonous dragon still needs to be taken out.

Helicopters probably won't be able to get in.

Were they to be dragged out?
"Simple!"

Xu Yue waved his hand and put the poisonous dragon's corpse into his storage magic artifact.

Storage artifacts cannot hold living beings, but the poisonous dragon was already dead.

"Your storage artifact has such a large space?"

Ning Yun looked at Xu Yue in shock. His storage magic artifact probably couldn't even hold one-tenth of the corpse.

The key question is, who would be willing to install this toxic stuff?

If it gets contaminated with poison, will the storage artifact still be usable?

“What we’ve refined now is naturally incomparable to what we used to be,” Xu Yue said. “Whether it’s the size of the space or the level of the magic weapon. If it were before, even if we had enough space, we probably wouldn’t have been able to hold the corpse of this poisonous dragon.”

"Aren't you afraid that your magic artifact will be contaminated by the poison of this venomous dragon?" Ning Yun said. "If that happens, wouldn't your storage magic artifact be rendered useless?"

“With the venomous dragon dead, its toxicity has decreased and its source is gone, so it won’t be difficult to dispel it,” Xu Yue said. “I can also remove the toxicity from storage artifacts.”

Ning Yun was speechless upon hearing this.

Yan Tian didn't say anything about it.

Nowadays, the materials for refining storage magic artifacts are not as scarce as before. Xu Yue's cultivation level is higher than before, and his refining skills are definitely better than before. So it is reasonable that he can refine better ones.

"The venomous dragon's corpse will probably still have to be kept at the Agricultural Science and Technology Academy," Yan Tian said. "The laboratory space built for that giant octopus is quite large."

He simply couldn't think of a more suitable place.

After all, if this thing is not handled carefully, it could cause a huge mess.

Although it was just a corpse.

But this corpse is poisonous.

They were already finding it difficult to resist, let alone ordinary people.

"it is good!"

Xu Yue nodded.

In his view, the best place for a laboratory is a remote, secluded place.

After all, if the toxicity were to be released, that would be a real problem.

However, Xu Yue was confident that he could control the toxicity of the corpse within a certain range.

Even if the experiment leaks, it won't spread.

"There are many high-altitude animals in the Ailao Mountains. Should we catch a few to take back?"

Ning Yun spoke, which drew strange looks from Xu Yue and the other man.

“Most of the animals that break through the mountain's defenses are poisonous,” Xu Yue said. “Why would you capture them and take them back? Do you intend to live with them day and night?”

“We’ll take them back for research,” Ning Yun said. “Besides, are all the broken-mirror animals in the mountains poisonous?”

“Then take your time looking. I have no interest in wandering around these mountains,” Xu Yue said. “Where’s the golden eagle you brought?”

“The poisonous fog is dangerous, and I dare not let it in,” Ning Yun said. “After it’s removed, I can come back with a shout.”

“Then you can let it take a look; perhaps it can find a mount that you like,” Xu Yue said. “As for those poisonous animals, whether they have research value, you can ask the professionals first.”

Even though it had research value, Xu Yue had no intention of helping them catch it.

It wouldn't be difficult for them to capture someone, even someone at the fifth level.

As for whether there are any realms above the fifth level in these mountains, I have no idea.

Xu Yue went back, still by helicopter.

Instead of going home, I went to school.

Yan Tian followed.

As for Ning Yun, he stayed in Ailao Mountain, hoping to capture a prestigious mount.

It seems unlikely that things will go as planned.

Because it is very difficult to surpass Xu Yue's horned ox.

That's a mythical beast.

However, are there other mythical beasts that survive, or are there animal bloodlines that have reverted to their ancestral forms?

No one knows.

"This, this, this is..."

When Red, Ma Bohan, and the others saw the corpse of the poisonous dragon, they were so shocked that they were speechless.

Do dragons really exist?
Has the world really changed, and are we going back to the age of mythology?
Otherwise, why would all sorts of things like the Flood Dragon Pearl appear?

“A venomous dragon in the Ailao Mountains,” Yan Tian said. “It is comparable to a seventh-level cultivator. You must be careful. Although it is dead, its venom is incredibly potent. Even fifth-level cultivators would find it difficult to withstand, let alone ordinary people. Therefore, safety measures must be taken.”

Reid and the others were stunned for a moment, then nodded.

One giant octopus was enough for them to study.

Later, he even obtained the blood of a nearly sixth-realm green ox from Xu Yue for research, but now an even more formidable one has arrived.

We can't study it all, we really can't study it all.

Researchers are very cautious, but Xu Yue still took several precautions.

After all, if something really happens, he will suffer the biggest loss.

Because this laboratory is located inside the Agricultural Science and Technology College.

Besides the researchers, the faculty and students of the college were the first to be affected.

After finishing his work, Xu Yue was about to go back when Zhang Ruoyu stopped him.

He also stopped Yan Tian at the same time.

“We’ve been arresting more and more spies lately, and almost all of them are cultivators,” Zhang Ruoyu said. “Their target is probably the school’s laboratories.”

Zhang Ruoyu had already reported this matter to his superiors, but felt it was still necessary to mention it to Xu Yue and Yan Tian.

He was a member of the military, and he knew very well that the military would provide him with support, but it would be limited.

So, for safety's sake, let's try to get some benefits from the Special Administration Bureau and Xu Yue.

He's been feeling a lot of pressure lately.

Even though he is now at the fourth level.

The Four Realms are no longer at the pinnacle.

He might not be so badly beaten that he couldn't even beat a dog, but he would be easily defeated by a cow.

It is said that there are many animals in all four directions of Shennongjia.

Ning Yun brought back a fox of the fourth realm and a golden eagle.

The key point is that there is also a giant octopus of the fifth realm in the school.

That's alive.

Zhang Ruoyu was a soldier, so it's understandable that he might have a fear of insufficient firepower.

If you can recruit some experts, that's a win.

"I'll apply to the higher-ups to move the Shuzhou Special Administration Bureau branch to Gong'an City," Yan Tian said. "Security at the school definitely needs to be strengthened."

Yan Tian looked at Xu Yue as he spoke.

Zhang Ruoyu also looked at Xu Yue.

Peach Blossom Village is teeming with experts.

"How about moving the camp from Taoyuan Village here?" Xu Yue said. "It can also be expanded. Uncle San can continue to serve as an instructor then."

Yan Tian and Zhang Ruoyu naturally offered their strong support.

The campsite in Taoyuan Village is small and no longer practical.

The key is that the camp is moving here, so Xu Jianghe, as an instructor, will definitely come along.

At least we'll have more time to get here.

He is, after all, a fifth-level cultivator, so he naturally has a certain deterrent effect.

The fact that the camp was located next to the school was itself a deterrent.
