I picked up skill fragments in the demon world

Chapter 108: Don't come over here!

Zhang Shicheng had high hopes for Zhang Chen. After all, Zhang Chen's skills were truly heaven-defying. If Zhang Chen was given time to develop, or if he could assist Zhang Chen on the path of cultivation, he would definitely become a great help. Even when the time came to fight the imperial court, Zhang Chen would surely be able to lend a hand.

He desperately wanted to bring Zhang Chen under his command.

However, faced with Zhang Shicheng's overtures, Zhang Chen simply smiled lightly, and then continued to wander around the Crystal Palace. Although the first level of the Crystal Palace was very large, because the items within had been emptied by the Pingbian Prince's Mansion, the entire palace looked empty and there was nothing worth paying attention to.

The Pingbian Prince's Mansion could be described as plucking feathers from a passing goose, truly not leaving behind a single bit of fortune. Everything visible in their wake was completely looted.

The three levels of the Crystal Palace were each smaller than the last. In the time it takes to burn an incense stick, Zhang Chen had already finished exploring.

In the end, he was disappointed. The Crystal Palace was not suitable for hiding people. If he wanted to hide, he could only go outside the Crystal Palace. So he said to Zhang Shicheng, "You can leave now."

Although there was still a long time before the deadline for Soul Hook, the date for Soul Hook was three days, and only two hours had passed, but Zhang Chen's purpose had been achieved, so there was no need to keep Zhang Shicheng's soul.

Most importantly, what if those two old guys finished dismembering the body and ran away? Wouldn't Zhang Shicheng be stuck staring at him? Where would he escape to then?

If he couldn't escape, when Zhang Shicheng caught up with him, it would be his death.

Zhang Shicheng took a deep breath upon hearing this, his eyes fixed on Zhang Chen. After a long while, he said, "I've learned something! I hope that when we meet again next time, I can still learn from your methods."

After Zhang Shicheng finished speaking, he didn't linger. His Yang God transformed into a stream of light and flew away. Not long after, a shocking battle sound came, accompanied by dragon roars and angry shouts. Zhang Chen quickly ran out of the Crystal Palace. At this time, his heartbeat stopped, and then his whole body curled up and was frozen into a ball by the ice, wrapped in the ice.

The Beast Control skill was activated, and a large snake swam over and swallowed the ice into its belly in one gulp.

The ice that Zhang Chen froze was an oval shape, most suitable for snakes to swallow. The truck-sized python effortlessly swallowed Zhang Chen, and then swam freely in the cave lake.

If you want to hide yourself, the safest place is not to hide in a certain place, but to hide in a place that can constantly move around.

Although Zhang Chen had sealed himself in ice, he was not completely without sensation of the outside world. As the great battle raged, the powerful shockwaves swept through, causing the water to surge and stir. Snakes scattered in panic in the water, and the python also fled among the snakes.

But at a certain moment, as the great battle broke out, dragon blood flowed into the lake, and the snakes in the lake boiled, frantically swimming towards the direction where the blood was flowing (the dragon blood came from the true dragon's aura. Originally, Zhang Shicheng's body was not alive, and the true dragon's aura and water energy constantly transformed into blood, similar to the function of hematopoiesis).

All spirits in the world, if they want to attain the Dao, must have aura. And at this time, the blood of the pseudo-dragon is the aura of all snakes.

By obtaining the blood, they can transform their bodies, open their spiritual wisdom, enter the mysterious forbidden realm, and become great demons who have 'become a climate'.

Although there are demon clans outside the Guan, it is more appropriate to call them beast clans. They do not have any special abilities, but are just a group of barbarians and beasts mixed together. Only those who have obtained aura can transform into true great demons who have mastered extraordinary power.

What is a demon?

That which is beyond common sense is a demon!

The python that Zhang Chen was parasitizing was now going crazy, stirring up waves and rushing straight towards the Crystal Palace where the dragon blood was flowing.

Zhang Chen did not stop the python's actions. At this time, it was logical to let the python move instinctively. Now all the snakes are heading for the dragon blood, but he wants to stop the python and go in the opposite direction. Even a fool would know that there must be a problem.

Just feeling the tremors coming from the river, the constantly surging undercurrent, Zhang Chen's eyes revealed a solemn look.

The entire lake seemed to be boiling at this time, and the undercurrents in the lake were surging. Even the python found it difficult to swim in the undercurrent.

But for the python, it was only difficult, and it could not stop its desire for dragon blood at all.

Finally, at a certain moment, Zhang Chen sensed that the python had finally rushed into the Crystal Palace. But before the python could devour the dragon blood, a earth-shattering roar suddenly came, and Elder Wu of the Yellow Heaven Dao's angry roar resounded in the underground space: "Old man, since you are not willing to give us a way to live, then let's all die!"

Then there was a loud noise, followed by the python shaking constantly, hitting the walls back and forth, as if it had been thrown out.

Through the sensing of water vapor in the air, Zhang Chen seemed to have a small radar in his brain, simulating the scene outside.

The Crystal Palace collapsed!

As if bombarded by artillery shells, the Crystal Palace was directly torn apart, and countless pillars began to collapse.

As the Crystal Palace collapsed, the earth cracked open a gap of unknown depth, the lake water began to pour in, and the python was also swept into the gap along with it.

"You actually dug out my eyes! Dug out my dragon whiskers! Stole my flood dragon pearl! Return my eyes! Return my dragon whiskers! Return my flood dragon pearl!" Zhang Shicheng's angry voice was like a roaring dragon, constantly resounding underground. The turbulent water swept more violently, and the python was completely unable to control its body, and could only drift along with the water in the torn crack.

"Is this the Yang God? That's a crystal stone ground, and it was directly torn apart?" Zhang Chen was secretly shocked.

He remembered what the fox spirit had said before, that the true dragon tomb that the Emperor's daughter was buried with seemed to have been torn apart because of the existence of the ninth rank, which led to the leakage of dragon energy.

"The Yang God already has the ability to change the world and control the energy of heaven and earth. I should run as far as possible in the future," Zhang Chen slowly swam along with the python in the water, neither hurried nor slow.

What does the fierce battle outside have to do with him?

There is no more good fortune here, and he is too lazy to compete for it. As for the dragon meat? In his perception, it seems that Xie Xuan and Elder Wu did not dismember the other party. Only the huge dragon-shaped phantom was constantly running and slaughtering the two in the water.

"Strange, how could the two of them be so kind? At any rate, it is also flood dragon flesh and blood, how could they let it go? And the flood dragon has already had its blood sucked dry by me, how is it still alive?"

Just as countless thoughts flashed through Zhang Chen's mind, he suddenly heard a 'bang', and a wave suddenly exploded on the water surface. A figure fell from the high sky, smashing the water and stirring up three feet of waves.

"Damn it, someone actually got close." Zhang Chen hid inside the python's belly, and when he sensed someone falling near him, he was dumbfounded.

Truly, man proposes, Heaven disposes. I hid myself away, yet someone still came right up to me?

If Zhang Shicheng is drawn here, and the two sides erupt in a great battle, the earth-shattering power fluctuations alone would probably leave me with no place to be buried!

"Don't come over! Don't come over! Leave quickly! Leave quickly!" Zhang Chen prayed silently: "Please, don't let him attract Zhang Shicheng!"

Just as Zhang Chen was praying silently, he suddenly heard the sound of a dragon's roar. Sensing the water mist, a blurry figure crashed through it and charged in.

"Damn it, are you old geezers bullying people? Why didn't you chase that warlock? Why are you chasing me?" Xie Xuan stood in the water and cursed.

"You have the nerve to say that!"

"Xie Xuan, return my dragon pearl!" Zhang Shicheng's voice echoed within the cave, and with his angry roar, the underground river began to surge.

"Return your dragon pearl? I dug it out with my own ability, why should I return it to you?" Xie Xuan retorted, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. He stood on the water, his eyes fixed on Zhang Shicheng: "I didn't expect you to have even nurtured a dragon pearl. You're only one step away from transforming into a dragon, just lacking the right opportunity. Now that I have your dragon pearl, when I report to the Emperor Dasheng in the future, I'll have something to show for it. With this dragon pearl, it won't be a problem for my Emperor Dasheng to extend his life by five hundred years. For the sake of my Dasheng's long-term stability, for the sake of my human race's peace and tranquility, why don't you contribute your dragon pearl to serve my human race? In the future, my human race will surely thank you."

"You bastard, why don't you dig out your own heart and offer it to the Emperor!" Zhang Shicheng roared back, his voice filled with rage.

Taking his dragon pearl to curry favor with the Emperor? What a joke!

He should offer his dragon pearl for the sake of the human race? That dragon pearl was the key to him gathering water energy and transforming into a dragon. How could he contribute it for the sake of the human race?

Why?

Could that Emperor Dasheng represent the entire human race? Why couldn't he raise an army and unify the world?

"Hand over the dragon pearl, and I'll spare your life. Otherwise, today will be your death!" Zhang Shicheng's voice was icy cold.

"If I were you, I'd leave here quickly. While your physical vitality hasn't completely dissipated, hurry and reincarnate, instead of lingering here," Xie Xuan replied.

"By swallowing you and taking back the dragon pearl, I can take your identity and lurk beside the Emperor Dasheng. Using the Dasheng dragon energy to make up for my missing true dragon fate, it might not be impossible to transform into a dragon again," Zhang Shicheng's voice was filled with coldness.

In the underground river, Zhang Chen listened to the movements outside, his scalp tingling: "What did he hear? Is this something he should be hearing?"

Then, the Beast Control skill took over the giant snake's body, controlling it to swim into the distance.

At this time, all the snakes were fleeing for their lives. Zhang Chen controlled the giant snake to escape, so it didn't seem too conspicuous.

The giant snake swam continuously. After only three hundred meters, Zhang Shicheng and Xie Xuan began to fight again, and terrifying energy fluctuations spread in the underground. The terrain in their hands was like plasticine, constantly being kneaded and changed, turning into new shapes.

Terrifying aftershocks spread towards Zhang Chen's direction. Countless rocks turned to dust in the wake of the terrifying energy, and countless snakes were turned into mincemeat under the impact.

Seeing the surging energy about to reach Zhang Chen, he had no choice but to activate Water Control. All the water within a fifty-meter radius instantly turned into Weak Water. When the shock wave hit the Weak Water, it didn't cause the slightest ripple, as if it never existed, and was directly absorbed and dissolved by the Weak Water.

Weak Water countered all weight and all force.

Zhang Chen quickly stopped his actions, afraid of being seen, and then drove the giant snake to continue fleeing into the distance.

The chasm torn apart by the previous great battle was unknown how deep or how long. Zhang Chen swam for two hours, but still hadn't reached the end.

"I've probably swam dozens of miles, right? This place should be far from the battlefield. I've escaped. I might have even left the scope of the Yellow River?" Zhang Chen thought to himself.

"Next, I'll just lie flat and be a salted fish for a while. When the fifteenth of next month arrives, I'll turn into a vampire bat and fly out," Zhang Chen thought happily. His harvest this time was good. Not only did he master the Weak Water skill, but his Blood Control skill had also evolved again. He just didn't know what kind of surprise it would evolve into.

Zhang Chen sensed that the crystal core in his body had turned into a ball of blood, completely covered by a blood-red silk cocoon. Even Zhang Chen himself couldn't see the changes within, and could only find a way to check after the skill evolution was over.

"It's just that this time's harvest is a bit small. I thought that some skills could be dropped from this great battle, but I didn't expect to only pick up a Weak Water Technique," Zhang Chen lay in the giant snake's belly and began to carefully analyze the key to it.

"Could it be that only by obtaining a mysterious existence can skills or points be dropped? Xie Xuan and the mysterious warlock Wu Changlao both entered the spiritual realm through acquired cultivation. Only the heteronymous king Zhang Shicheng obtained the true dragon aura, which could barely be considered mysterious, and dropped a pile of experience points. It's just that, perhaps because both of us have dragon energy, no skills dropped from Zhang Shicheng."

Thinking of this, Zhang Chen looked at his own True Dragon Fate, which was shrinking and trembling in his body. It was too disappointing!

This place was full of dragon energy. If he was bolder and went out to devour the dragon energy in the sky, he would definitely usher in a wave of evolution.

Complaining was useless. Zhang Chen began to shift his mind and think about future matters.

Just as countless thoughts were flowing through Zhang Chen's mind, suddenly a dragon's roar accompanied by an explosion came from the direction he came from.

"What the hell? Why is that sound getting closer and closer?" Zhang Chen in the snake's belly shuddered, and a bad premonition suddenly surged in his heart. But who knew that the next moment, he heard a splash on the water surface, and a shadow directly dispersed the water vapor and fell beside the giant snake.

"What a sin!" Zhang Chen had the urge to curse at this time. This Xie Xuan was simply haunting, it was too hateful.

He finally found a place to hide, was it easy for him?

Unfortunately, the more you fear something, the more it comes. As the leader of the Northern Inspection Division, an old schemer among old schemers, Xie Xuan saw the giant snake Zhang Chen was hiding in with a sweep of his eyes.

"Perhaps this thing can help me escape," Xie Xuan muttered to himself, covered in dirt.
