Chronicles of the Green Vine: A Mortal’s Path to Immortality

The dwarf, while commanding the flying daggers and protecting his whole body with a round shield, was slowly retreating, a sense of retreat rising in his heart.

But as soon as he retreated, several iron thorns appeared beside him, blocking his retreat.

Zhang Ling coldly watched the dwarf, commanding the black sword magic weapon and the Cold Star Sand to attack fiercely.

At the same time, the vines on his arm shook, striking heavily at the dwarf like a long whip. Each strike made the dwarf's protective round shield hum.

"Fellow Daoist, I am a cultivator from the Beast Control Sect. I can hand over the storage bag. What happened before was a misunderstanding. Please let me go this time," the dwarf pleaded, his face covered in cold sweat.

Zhang Ling remained unmoved, continuing his attack, the dwarf only able to parry.

However, this person's round shield magic weapon was also a high-grade magic weapon, making it difficult to break through for a time.

But magic weapons also have their limits. A quarter of an hour later, the dwarf's face was pale, and his spiritual power was almost exhausted.

Zhang Ling's face was also gloomy, and his spiritual power had also consumed about 60%.

"Fellow Daoist, if you really want to force me to fight to the death, then let's die together." Suddenly, the dwarf looked at him fiercely, patted his storage bag, took out a red talisman, injected spiritual power into it, and activated the talisman.

The talisman exploded in the air, forming a large cloud of red, instantly covering a range of twenty zhang.

Skyfire Talisman!

Seeing the effect of this talisman, Zhang Ling's face changed.

And the dwarf seized the opportunity, held the round shield above his head, the small knife magic weapon circling in front of him, opened a path in the thorny vines, and quickly fled to the other side.

The sound of rustling and clattering came from the air.

The Skyfire Talisman turned into a fire cloud, dropping fireballs one by one. Each one was the size of a watermelon, and left a large pit when it hit the ground.

This person seemed to want to delay his speed with this large-scale spirit talisman, in order to escape.

Zhang Ling snorted coldly, advancing instead of retreating, determined to kill the enemy. He also retracted the flying sword magic weapon, and replaced it with the Earth Element Shield, injecting spiritual power into it, a piece of yellow light gathered on the small shield.

Stepping on the ground, large pieces of soil and rocks were also attracted to the shield, condensing into a rock shield about ten feet in size.

Taking a look at the dwarf's position, Zhang Ling also held the shield above his head. At the same time, with a gentle flick of his hand, a red light flashed, and a slender flying needle shot towards the dwarf.

Fireballs fell from above, hitting the Earth Element Shield, and a burst of explosions came.

Seeing that the dwarf was about to escape the range of the Skyfire Talisman, a thin needle pierced his back of the head, but it was blocked by the aura shield on his body.

However, this also stopped his footsteps, and the dwarf was knocked to the ground by this blow.

Large fireballs fell, and the dwarf quickly activated the magic weapon to deal with the attack of the Skyfire Talisman.

Zhang Ling did not let go of this person, constantly urging the Red Thread Needle magic weapon to attack the dwarf's aura shield.

The dwarf's shield was a high-grade magic weapon, but it could only guard one direction, and was being used to resist the attack of the Skyfire Talisman.

The defensive power of the aura shield on his body was determined by the injected spiritual power, and he was doing his best to resist the sneak attack of the flying needles.

Zhang Ling also controlled two magic weapons, but half of the Earth Element Shield's defense came from the power of earth and stone, and the consumption of spiritual power was much less than that of ordinary high-grade magic weapons.

And the dwarf could only defend with all his might, while resisting the Skyfire Talisman, he also had to exert all his spiritual power to protect his shield, resisting the flying needle sneak attack. The consumption of spiritual power was much greater than his.

As long as he persisted for a moment, this person would definitely not be able to escape.

Sure enough, after only a few breaths, the dwarf couldn't hold on anymore. The aura shield on his body weakened by more than half.

Zhang Ling seized the opportunity, controlled the flying needle to break through this person's defense, and killed the enemy.

Zhang Ling grabbed the dwarf's storage bag, and quickly escaped the attack range of the Skyfire Talisman.

More than ten breaths of time passed, and the power of the Skyfire Talisman was also exhausted.

Looking at the dwarf's body, it had turned into ashes, and the ground within a range of more than ten zhang nearby had also turned into a pitted scene.

This person hid nearby without revealing any aura, and set up traps. Using the corpses of male cultivators and the remains of demon beasts to disguise as a death by poisoning, to lure other cultivators.

If he hadn't been holding a defensive spirit talisman in advance, if he had been slightly slow, he would have lost his life at the beginning.

He looked at the two storage bags and a spirit beast bag he had obtained. There was also the round shield magic weapon and the golden small knife.

It's just that these two magic weapons, after the dwarf died, without the blessing of spiritual power, were attacked by the Skyfire Talisman and were dilapidated. Although they were not destroyed, their power was greatly reduced.

Zhang Ling could only helplessly put them away, and quickly left the spot.

Soon after, he sat in a hidden rock cave to check the storage bag, one of which contained large and small jade boxes, which contained the spiritual herbs and other things collected by the dwarf.

The value is not small, but there are still no two main medicines for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

The other bag contained common things such as jade slip magic weapons. There were one hundred or so spirit stones, including two middle-grade spirit stones, one fire attribute and one earth attribute spirit stone.

This is a surprise, Zhang Ling smiled.

It seems that this person is really a cultivator of the Beast Control Sect, after all, casual cultivators rarely get middle-grade spirit stones.

There are as many as seven magic weapons, four middle-grade magic weapons, and three high-grade magic weapons. It can be said that it is a small harvest.

The value of the magic weapons adds up to more than a thousand spirit stones. But some are dilapidated, and there are some bloodstains left. It seems that they were also seized from other people.

Zhang Ling tried it out and took a fancy to two high-grade magic weapons, a long sword with blue light all over, and a fiery red snake-shaped jade tablet.

The blue long sword is a cold attribute magic weapon, the attack comes with a layer of cold mist, it is a good attack magic weapon.

The snake-shaped jade tablet can release two fire snakes after being activated, it is also an attack magic weapon, it is very powerful, but it consumes a lot of spiritual power.

In addition to the magic weapons, there are more than ten talismans and several bottles of pills, including a bottle of pills to restore spiritual power, a bottle of detoxification pills, and two bottles of spirit gathering pills.

Finally, there are a few jade slip books, and Zhang Ling also roughly read them. To his disappointment, the content is ordinary, just ordinary five-element exercises and magic tricks.

However, when flipping through a fire attribute exercise book, three somewhat broken pages fell out, which seemed to be torn from another book.

It records a secret technique called Breath Concealment Technique. After Zhang Ling read it, his face showed joy.

The Breath Concealment Technique is the secret technique used by the dwarf to hide his aura. It seems that this person relied on this technique to hide his aura.

Zhang Ling has also heard of this secret technique, but it is rare to see it outside. It is said that a rough Breath Concealment Technique costs thousands of spirit stones to buy.

This kind of advanced spell is even a secret technique of some sects and is not passed on.

Zhang Ling became very interested in studying this Breath Concealment Technique.

There are dangers everywhere in the Burning Flame Valley, and the closer you get to the center, the more dangers appear. The strength of the demon beasts encountered is also stronger.

In just a few days, hundreds of cultivators have died.
