Bearing the blue sky

Chapter 105 The Wonderful Use of the Silver Cudgel

Do it if you want!

Zhu Ge immediately began to carefully observe the giant python's posture.

The giant python tightened its body, spiraling around Liu Jianjian's torso, especially around her chest and heart.

"Jianjian, how do you feel?" Zhu Ge asked.

"I feel like I'm going to die!" Liu Jianjian cried out in pain, "Master, save me!"

"I'm asking about your physical sensations." Zhu Ge shook her head: "What did your body feel? After being tightened?"

"Arrogant!"

Before Liu Jianjian could speak, the giant python roared, "You human brat, how dare you disregard me? Let me tell you the truth, my entanglement technique is invincible!"

"I would ambush and strike, using the heat from my prey to locate it, and then suddenly strike, using my barbed teeth to bite down on the prey so that it cannot escape."

"I can also tighten my invincible body with every exhale of my prey, so that the prey can only exhale and not inhale, and the pressure continues to rise."

The giant python grew increasingly arrogant as it spoke: "I am now sensing the heartbeat of this hedgehog. I will only relax my grip when her demonic heart has completely stopped beating. I will never loosen my restraints prematurely."

"I see." Zhu Ge said thoughtfully, "Then you can go die."

After saying that, Hua Liusha's red mist roared out and rushed directly in front of the giant python's body.

The Wedding Ghost—Bewitching!

After his previous encounter with the leopard, Zhu Ge had already devised some strategies to counter the enemy.

Hua Liusha is a "Double Happiness Ghost," and its innate ability to bewitch is difficult for any demon beast of the same level to match without a method of protecting its soul.

In this situation, instead of Zhu Ge going up to fight this giant python, it would be better to let Hua Liusha do it.

"Whoosh!"

Hua Liusha's red mist directly entered the giant python's body.

The giant python stiffened, then slowly loosened its grip on Liu Jianjian's body.

"I was so scared, so scared!" After being untied, Liu Jianjian returned to her real appearance and kept patting her chest and panting.

Zhu Ge shook her head, too lazy to say anything about Liu Jianjian.

Liu Jianjian was naturally thick-skinned and tough; she wasn't seriously injured even when he hit her all over the place the first time they fought.

How could being tied up mean you'd be on the verge of death?

Now it seems that this is indeed the case.

"Look, you can't even beat someone of the same level. If you don't practice martial arts properly, you'll be preyed upon again," Zhu Ge warned.

Just now, Liu Jianjian offered virtually no resistance. She was completely waiting for Zhu Ge to come and rescue her.

They've been slacking off too much; they need to be fixed.

"No one usually likes to hunt hedgehogs," Liu Jianjian retorted, but then added, "However, Master is right, I must work hard! If I take three demonic beasts into the hedgehog enclosure, I can use their abilities to protect myself."

Zhu Ge nodded.

He had naturally also reviewed and learned about the cultivation techniques that Lord Lantern bestowed upon Liu Jianjian and Zhu Sisi.

The technique Liu Jianjian obtained, called "The Demon Hunting Divine Art," includes defensive methods.

Unfortunately, these two techniques are too advanced and are beyond Zhu Ge's ability to learn.

Otherwise, Zhu Ge really wanted to incorporate these two techniques into his own martial arts.

"I'm done eating."

At this moment, Hua Liusha's red mist surged out from the giant python's body and returned to Zhu Ge.

"Brother, I feel I've broken through to the mid-stage of the Essence-Seizing Realm." Hua Liusha's voice was filled with joy: "Indeed! As True Monarch Ti Deng said, absorbing only the extreme Yin souls of living beings will better suit the name 'Essence-Seizing Realm'!"

The second realm of the Ghost Path is called "Seizing Essence," which involves seizing the essence of all things in heaven and earth and integrating it into one's own body.

However, under the admonition of the True Lord of the Lantern, Hua Liusha should only absorb yin energy and not yang energy if he wants to reach a higher level.

What is taken away is not received entirely, but selectively.

If one accepts everything, the third realm will become the "Demon Realm".

If one only absorbs Yin energy, it is called "Yin Soul," which is the third realm, the Yin Soul Realm.

This knowledge is a core secret passed down only in ordinary aristocratic families.

The Lord of the Lantern informing Hua Liusha of this knowledge is truly a great kindness.

"It's good that you've broken through." Zhu Ge smiled and said, "There will be many more opportunities to seize the essence in the future. I will strive to break through to the Yin Soul Realm in one fell swoop."

Normally, it would be very difficult for Hua Liusha to make a breakthrough.

Where can I find so many souls for her to absorb?

But things are different now.

War has broken out across the land.

Many years after the passing of the Holy Emperor, all sorts of strange and unusual creatures, including demons, ghosts, spirits, and gods, are now everywhere.

They're everywhere!

Normally, Zhu Ge would be worried that killing a few demonic beasts would provoke retaliation or something.

But now?

The Plague God Sparrow and the Red River Dragon Python have already unleashed their power, intending to slaughter all the humans in the region.

In that case, what is Zhu Ge afraid of?

"Just do your best to digest it," Zhu Ge said. "Jianjian and I will go spar with the monsters. If we encounter a suitable monster, Jianjian will subdue it; if not, you can devour it, little sister."

"clear!"

"Yes, Master!"

"Let's go! Let's continue the hunt!"

Zhu Ge collected the giant python's carcass and then continued hunting with Liu Jianjian.

It has to be said that things are much better now compared to before when we couldn't find any monsters even after traveling more than ten kilometers.

Monsters are everywhere!

They encountered a second-realm giant python not far from where they came out; who knows what else might be waiting for them.

"Pfft!!!"

Just then, the soil beneath their feet broke open, and a rat crawled out.

They had only been out of the valley for a short time when they encountered their second monster!

"I'll do it!"

Zhu Ge extended her palm directly.

The giant python strangled him!

Zhu Ge had just observed the coiling method of the transformed python, and now he immediately used it.

He grabbed the spirit-possessed rat with his palm and then slowly tightened his grip with his five fingers using some kind of binding technique.

"Squeak!!!" The rat let out a squeak and bit down on Zhu Ge with its long teeth.

The skin wasn't even broken.

"Bang!!!"

Not only did it not bite through, Zhu Ge actually crushed the rat.

"No, this binding force is worse than just crushing it." Zhu Ge frowned.

The giant python that just transformed clearly used three-tenths of its power.

However, he only used three parts of his strength to achieve one part of the desired effect.

"Also, it seems like my stick could be developed in this direction?"

Zhu Ge looked at the silver staff in his hand and fell into deep thought.

The silver rod was made of star-picking silver and was fired by the True Lord of the Lantern.

This silver rod can be changed in length, thickness, hardness, and so on, according to the owner's wishes.

It is a fine silver rod that can be long or short, thick or thin, soft or hard.

"In that case, if I were to fight an enemy with a staff, and suddenly the staff turned into a whip, lashing the enemy a few times, wouldn't that be exhilarating?"

Zhu Ge's eyes lit up.

Unconventional!

Everyone tries to block the stick head-on.

What if the stick suddenly softens and turns into a whip?

Moreover, pulling them out isn't the end of it; they can also use the python constriction technique to tightly bind and restrain the enemy.

"This method is feasible!"

"Let's give it a try and see how the silver staff can change shape at will."
