Chapter 52: The Powerful Essence of the Congealed Pearl

  In the dark of night, deep in the fog, mist swirled around, the marshes constantly bubbling with water, a eerie atmosphere pervaded here, yet it was a peaceful scene.

  Si Si

  Those wild snakes are drilling in and out of the forest, constantly spitting out letters.

  However, in a short distance, a spark of light lit up, and two figures flashed by. The two siblings arrived at the place where Wang Shi had stayed before.

  The two of them were instantly stunned by the scene in front of them, where large and small mud pits appeared on the ground, many trees were broken, a large number of wild snakes died, and corpses were everywhere, it can be said that everything was completely destroyed.

  "That...the Snake King is really furious!" The rough man's heart skipped a beat.

  "Big brother, I didn't see that young man's corpse!" At this point, the girl couldn't help but believe that Wang Shi was already dead. With such a big commotion, it must be that the snake king had become enraged, and with so many people stirring up trouble, who could stop them? Not to mention that young man.

  The rough man said bitterly: "It must have been swallowed by that snake king."

  The girl suddenly looked painful, tears dropping: "Brother, Second Uncle, Third Uncle they all died!"

  "I know they died for us, so we can't die! We must save Father!" the rough man said hoarsely.

  "Uh-huh, I know." The girl nodded and said.

  "Huh? There's a big puddle of... blood!" The rough man shone his torch on that spot.

  "What's wrong, big brother?" The girl asked in confusion.

  The rough man looked at the big pool of blood and suddenly said: "This is not human blood, it's the snake king's blood!"

  "Ah!" The girl was taken aback.

  .................

  A night without words.

  When the morning glow rises, the dark forest is surrounded by a belt of fairy mist.

  The dark forest is called the dark forest because all the trees here are black. This is a relatively vast forest on the mountain, and this mountain is very large, with many ups and downs.

  But here the beasts are very rare, this forest, this dark forest is as hard as iron trees, very suitable for making spiritual instruments.

  There is another mysterious place on this mountain, the closer to the core, the more people will feel their limbs weaken and their spiritual power gradually disappear. The closer to the very core, the more so. Wild beasts, although they do not have spiritual power, also feel weak. Therefore, it is feared to approach this dark forest.

  A figure was running quickly in the dark forest, with a serious expression and sweat constantly dripping down.

  "That damned feeling is still there!" Wang Shi's face looked unpleasant, knowing that the person must have come for him and brought a murderous intent. After Wang Shi's soul became stronger, he became more sensitive to this feeling, even though the person had not appeared until now, but the feeling still existed, with a pair of eyes staring at him from the dark, making his scalp tingle.

  "Someone wants to kill me, who? That Yu Jiu?! Evil cult's evil spawn!" Wang Shi thought and thought, but the only one he could think of was that Blood Escape person. However, Zhou Xuanming had told him before that a Blood Escaper would need at least half a year to recover, and his strength wasn't enough to make Wang Shi's heart beat faster now, producing fear in his heart.

  "Who is it? Do you have a grudge against me?" Wang Shi had been thinking anxiously. A night of fleeing for his life made some blood vessels appear in his eyes.

  "And this guy followed him for an entire night!" Wang Shi couldn't help but wonder what he was trying to do.

  "Either it's a Half-Step Condensed Bead cultivator, or... it's a Condensed Bead cultivator!" Wang Shi took a deep breath. Only these two kinds of people could give him such a strong feeling, to the point where he wanted to flee without a fight!

  He had originally thought of training, but was ambushed in such a way! He can no longer take that route on the map, because there are many powerful beasts on that route, and he can only temporarily plan to take a route with fewer beasts.

  "This route, a desperate gamble, may have a chance of success!" Wang Shi said in a low voice.

  ……

  In the dark forest

  "This place is indeed mysterious, making me feel weak and exhausted, my energy and blood dwindling, my spiritual power gradually disappearing!" Wang Shi exclaimed in surprise. His strength had begun to decline, his physical power shrinking, as if he had been hibernating.

  "I don't know what will happen to that person." Wang Shi chuckled, this forest would not make an exception for anyone, even if he was a powerful cultivator like Jingzhu.

  Wang Shi kept running towards the core of the Dark Forest, but at this pace it would take at least half a day!

  "Haha, you're quite a runner, kid!" Suddenly, a voice descended from the sky, like a sword piercing Wang Shi's heart!

  Wang Shi turned his head to look, and saw a figure flashing in and out of sight, quickly approaching him. It was an old man wearing white clothes, with white hair fluttering, staring at Wang Shi with a hint of mockery.

  Wang Shi's eyes narrowed and his face turned pale, as the old man's body emitted a thick and heavy pressure that was like a violent storm rushing towards him. An unprecedented crisis!

  "Essence Pearl... Strong One!" Wang Shi's face looked even more unsightly.

  "You're a sharp kid, but no matter how you try to escape, you can't get out of the palm of my hand!" The old man laughed.

  "Who are you? Why... want to kill me!" Wang Shi was still fleeing towards the core of the dark forest, but saw that old man keep following him.

  "A life for a life! You killed my grandson?!"

  "Huh? You're from the Song family! A person from Medicine City?!" Wang Shi exclaimed, he suddenly came to his senses and only then realized this person's origin, unexpectedly a member of the Song family!

  "You're quick to react, you've cut off my hope for this lineage! Come and take your life!" The white-haired old man didn't dare to lay a hand on the Wang family, fearing it would bring unnecessary trouble from Qingcang City. But now that Wang Shi was alone in this place, killing him would go unnoticed, and disposing of his body in the wilderness would be easy.

  Wang Shi felt his body getting weaker and his spiritual energy declining.

  "This place is indeed a bit magical." The white-haired old man also felt his spiritual power gradually disappearing.

  An old man with white hair followed Wang Shi for an evening, no doubt playing a game of cat and mouse, wanting to see what tricks this young fellow had.

  "The seventh layer of the Wilderness Realm, his soul is sharp and not weak at all. His body is strong and sturdy, his martial arts are powerful. If this young man continues to develop, he will definitely become a strong practitioner." The old man had figured out Wang Shi's true abilities and thought to himself.

  However, a jealous sentiment grew in the old man's heart. Why did such a figure appear in the small Wang family? And why didn't it happen to the Song family, who was many times stronger than the Wangs?

  Yesterday, Wang Shi and Hei She Wang's battle, the old man also saw it. This kid is only at the 7th level of the Wilderness Realm, but his powerful martial arts can actually shake a mid-9th level Black Snake! How could he not be shocked?

  "Very well, let's nip him in the bud!" The white-haired old man said coldly.

  ……

  "Heh heh!" The old man's white hair was disheveled, and a powerful spiritual energy shot out from his sleeve.

  Rumbling sound

  Such a casual blow, yet it burst out with a strong force, shaking the earth and making the entire forest tremble, leaving Wang Shimu feeling terrified and powerless.

  "What a powerful force! Is this the power of the Condensed Pearl?" Wang Shi's expression was somewhat fearful.
