Chapter 4: Seizing the Opportunity

  Favourite brothers and sisters collect them, welcome everyone to comment in the book review area.

  Waiting until Xiao Yi had completely absorbed this blood-like energy, the 108 Heavenly Veins hummed, and among the six connected Heavenly Veins, the blood energy surged like a tide, twisting into a long dragon of blood energy that fiercely charged towards the barrier of the seventh Heavenly Vein.

  Rumble!

  The seventh article, the heavenly pulse suddenly penetrated, a new force burst out instantly, seven heavenly orbits connected as one, blood and gas shook, and the rolling thunder sound was transmitted from Xiao Yi's body.

  Even at this moment, Xiao Yi felt that his own qi and blood seemed to have undergone some subtle changes. The crystal clear blood was like jade, more crystal clear than before, faintly emitting a faint golden light from within.

  This change had already occurred after Xiao Yi absorbed and refined the wild dragon's essence blood, belonging to the human tribe's bloodline, which was already different from the beginning.

  Suddenly, Xiao Yi's eyes moved slightly, and from a distance came several sonic booms rapidly approaching. After the span of ten breaths, the figures of Shi Yuan and his four companions appeared, passing through the layers of shrubs to arrive before them.

  "Xiao Ge!" Shi Lei's eyes flashed with surprise.

  "Are you alright?" Shi Yuan looked up and down at Xiao Yi, then saw the broken ancient tree and the elephant's blood on the ground, his pupils shrinking slightly.

  "We're here to help you." Yun Shan smiled foolishly, waving his white bone rod back and forth.

  Shi Qian glanced at Xiao Yi, then turned his head away, his gaze wandering among the trees and bushes. All of this was seen by Xiao Yi, who felt a slight warmth in his heart. Perhaps there had been some distance between them before, but from now on, it would all be cleared up.

  "What a powerful force." Li Yue walked to the front of the broken ancient tree, his expression serious. "Even a mid-stage Mammoth Elephant couldn't withstand it, Xiao Yi, what just happened?"

  Shi Yuan also came back to his senses, looking at Xiao Yi. After the initial shock, he was the first to rule out Xiao Yi. In just one year, he had forced the middle-ranking Arid Beast to retreat, something that even Shi Zhenxuan, the clan leader, couldn't do. From the scene before him, it was clear that the Mammoth Elephant didn't stand a chance and fled immediately after being injured. This showed just how powerful their opponent was.

  Roar!

  Suddenly, in the depths of the dark and ancient forest, a continuous howling sound began to rise, the ground rumbled, and a repressed breath started to spread.

  "This sound, it's the Mid-tier Peak Wild Beast, Golden Anaconda!" Líyuè's expression changed suddenly, "Snake swallows elephant, the snake tribe is the natural enemy of the elephant tribe, no wonder the Mammoth Elephant couldn't defeat it."

  "Quickly!" Shi Yuan shouted, "Before it discovers us."

  The middle peak of the savage beast, with a power close to the great completion of refining blood. Some of them, due to their innate talents, may not be able to reach the boundary, but their powers have already broken into the realm of great completion of refining blood. Relying on their powerful beast bodies, they can control this power.

  What kind of place is this gloomy mountain, how can it hide not only one mid-ranking desolate beast? This is just the outer reaches of the Pan Lei mountain range, and we haven't even entered the depths of a hundred miles yet. At this time, no one doubted the records in the ancestral letters of their tribe anymore, this gloomy mountain was indeed unusual, an ominous place.

  At this moment, Xiao Yi and the six people quickly left, after a stick of incense, the six people crossed over the dark mountain, re-entering the desolate ancient forest.

  "The Pan Lei mountain range is not to be underestimated, with an area of three thousand miles, hiding countless ferocious beasts. Changes can occur at any time and place. Although it's said that the outer areas generally won't have intermediate-level ferocious beasts, we should still be cautious. From now on, let's travel together in a group of six. We'll avoid some dangerous places if possible, to prevent unnecessary trouble and avoid great disasters." Shi Yuan said solemnly.

  When the six of them set out again, on the edge of the ancient forest, four green shadows appeared. One of the fairy soldiers furrowed his brow and said: "That mammoth giant elephant actually encountered a golden python. This kid's luck is quite good, unfortunately we didn't follow up at the time, otherwise one mammoth giant elephant would also be a considerable gain."

  "The snake swallowing an elephant, a great war, none of these are trivial matters. Even if the four of us join forces, we may not be able to stop them. Now, what we need to do is obtain that 800-year-old silver ginseng and bring along the heads of these six people from different tribes as a token of allegiance, then go to surrender to General Sun Shanwan."

  The sun sets in the western mountains.

  In the midst of a dense and ancient forest, a patch of darkness existed. Before nightfall, six people hastened with all their might, and the distance to where Silver Ginseng was located was only ten miles away.

  Found a dry cave, lit a bonfire, and the six of them sat cross-legged, eating some dried meat that had been blown by the wind. They didn't hunt wild beasts, as the thick smell of blood would bring great disaster.

  "We will rest here tonight and set out at dawn tomorrow to kill the python and seize the lotus!" Shi Yuan said calmly, with a glint of sharpness in his eyes.

  Then the six of them meditated separately, and the cave was so quiet that a pin drop could be heard. Even their breathing was almost imperceptible. The torches flickered, burning until only dark red embers were left, still emitting a few wisps of smoke.

  A quiet night passed without any wild beasts intruding into the cave. When the first ray of sunlight entered the cave, Xiao Yi opened his eyes. Not far away, Yun Shan was carefully wiping a white bone stick with a coarse and large bone stick that had been wiped to a snowy brightness. In the sunlight, it reflected a metallic luster. Seeing Xiao Yi looking over, he smiled and didn't think much of it.

  Immediately, Shi Yuan and the other three opened their eyes one after another. After a night of adjustment, the spiritual state of the six had recovered to its peak, and an icy aura began to spread due to the impending slaughter.

  Ten miles away.

  Through a hidden and narrow corridor, six people entered a quiet mountain valley. The valley was not large, only about 100 square meters in size. A pool of ink-colored water sat at the edge, surrounded by several ancient trees over 3,000 years old that blocked out most of the sunlight. The massive canopies of the trees connected seamlessly, and rays of sunlight filtered through the gaps, casting a million tiny shadows on the ground, like a gentle rain.

  In the center of the Emerald Pool, there is a five-zhang-square green island. In the center of the green island, silver lights are flashing like stars twinkling in the sky.

  "Silver ginseng!"

  Shi Qian's eyes gleamed with desire as he let out a low whistle. The 800-year-old Silver Ginseng, ranked among the rarest of treasures, was enough to allow an ordinary person to open up twenty meridians and increase their spiritual power by twenty units.

  Only the silver ginseng is shaped like an infant, with a thickness of about the same as a normal person's forearm, two long legs deeply inserted into the soil, the ginseng leaves are emerald green, on top of which floats a string of dew drops, and the fragrance of ginseng wafts out, even just taking a breath can invigorate one's spirit.

  Eight hundred years of silver ginseng, a precious treasure, the entire Bloodstone tribe can't get much in a year, and ordinary soldiers get almost none. Now that there's an opportunity to obtain it, even if it's just a small amount from Cloud Mountain, his eyes widened, he clicked his tongue twice, swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

  "That green-scaled python is lurking in the depths of the pool." Shi Lei said in a deep voice, "To jump over the pool and get the silver ginseng, someone needs to attract its attention. Otherwise, even a strong warrior like Wu Zhang would not necessarily be able to defeat it in the water."

  Li Yue nodded and said, "There is a distance of ten zhang from the shore to the Green Island. Only Shi Yuan has enough cultivation to cross it, so what we need to do is attract all the attention of the Qinglin Jiao Mang."

  "I'll take care of restraining the Qinglin Jiao's movements." Shi Qian said, "With my aura to suppress its spirit, Li Yue, your archery skills are the strongest, attack its twin pupils and make it unable to attend to anything else. Yun Shan, you be ready to block its path at all times. As for Shi Lei, wait for an opportunity to strike its weak point."

  "Good!"

  Shi Yuan's hand grasped the Qing Tie knife, his entire body's aura slowly retracting, until it was almost imperceptible in the end.

  "Take action!" Shi Lei shouted loudly, he and Yun Shan simultaneously took action, the green iron spear lifted a ten-ton heavy boulder, heavily falling towards the pool surface.

  Yun Shan moved even faster, his footsteps quick and urgent, like a giant boulder rolling, the ground slightly shaking, thick blood and energy surging to the surface of his body, white bones cracking and falling, making a low humming sound, as they landed on the surface of the pond.

  Boom!

  Ten thousand water flowers burst open, a huge wave rises ten feet high, and the massive dark energy is instantly transmitted into the depths of the pool. In the blink of an eye, under the ink-colored surface of the pool, a huge black shadow appears.

  "Beware, retreat!" Li Yue shouted loudly, the purple bow in his hand, the curved bow with an arrow on it, and the thumb-thick purple arrow had a branding of cloud patterns.

  Roar!

  With a shocking momentum, the surface of the pond suddenly burst open, and a huge cyan python rose up, its dull roar shaking people's hearts. A cyan-scaled python, with a body as long as six zhang (about 20 meters) floating on the surface of the pond, had scales as thick as millstones on its body, shining with an eerie light in the fine rain. On top of the triangular python head, which was as big as a stone table, grew a white horn as long as one zhang (about 3.3 meters). At this moment, the two lantern-sized pale cyan snake pupils had not yet fully seen everything before them, and dozens of zhang away, Li Yue had already made his move in an instant.

  Wow!

  Zixia arrow shattered the void, a strong gust of wind whistled, like a purple mist, traversing the vast sky, directly pointing at She Tian's eyes. This was Li Yue's archery skills, which had already reached the realm of breaking through the wind. Within tens of meters, the power of his archery could reach its peak. Almost in an instant, Qinglin Jiao Meng felt a life-and-death crisis.

  Just as it was about to dodge, Shi Qianchen let out a loud shout, and his spiritual energy surged forth, unleashing a stormy momentum that instantly enveloped the creature. The sudden change caught Qing Lin, the green-scaled python, off guard, momentarily stunning it.

  Pfft!

  Blood splattered everywhere, and the purple arrow pierced its left pupil with a loud bang, shattering that lantern-sized snake eye into pieces.

  Roar!

  The green-scaled python let out a deafening screech, its shrill cry shaking the air as it thrashed about in agony, its massive body contorting violently.

  "It's now!"

  He shot out like an arrow, his footsteps connected, his body like wind and cloud, changing unpredictably, in the blink of an eye he arrived at one side of the shore, almost without touching the ground, he whizzed towards Tan Zhong's Green Island, instantly crossing ten feet of empty space.

  Boom!

  Although the snake's pupil was broken, the Qinglin Jiao Mang, who knew everything about Green Island, sensed the change at the first time. The thick snake tail broke through the waves, like a giant green whip sweeping through the air, making a fierce roar, and struck Shi Yu on the waist of the Green Road.

  "How dare you!"

  Almost in an instant, Shi Lei and Yun Shan shouted angrily, and the two of them rose into the air. If you like it, brothers and sisters, collect it down, and welcome everyone to comment in the book review area.
