#172 - Chapter 171 Dark Dragon
"Nethergrass?" Ape Twelve blurted out, taking two steps forward, his foot heavily landing on the ridge where the you soil met the strange soil. Crumbling earth fell, emitting a sizzling, corrosive sound in the dark soil.
Bijing Suanni Beast suddenly darted out, biting Ape Twelve's hind leg and dragging him backward with all its might. At the same time, Fire Crow Taoist hurriedly reached out to stop him, "Clan Leader Ape, please wait! There's danger in this soil!"
After taking two steps, Ape Twelve sensed the danger with his powerful beastly intuition. It was an indescribable palpitation, a crisis so powerful that he couldn't possibly cope with it on his own. He then followed the Bijing Suanni Beast's pull and retreated about twenty feet.
The Hou Tu Transformation Cauldron in Zhang Yuanjing's arms was also stirring restlessly. "Kid, this is the place. Beneath this soil lies a Nether Dragon, with quite a bit of strength. This old man has to deal with it first before I can enjoy the delicacies in peace! However, this guy is very timid and will hide at the slightest disturbance.
"Later, you must fly to the central location as quickly as possible and pluck out those few green grasses. Those grasses are a precious medicine that it has been guarding for many years. After they are plucked, it will definitely be enraged and come out to fight you. At that time, this old man will destroy it.
"However, when flying over this soil, be careful to seal off your five senses and divine sense, otherwise you will be deceived by its illusion and throw yourselves into the net, falling into the soil. This old man is very tired now and doesn't have the strength to fish people out of the soil."
Zhang Yuanjing quickly asked, "Senior, is that grass Nethergrass?"
"Nethergrass? How would this old man remember its name! It's just a few miscellaneous things born from the turbid Yin energy. It can enhance the Yin spirit, but it has a strong corrosive nature, and ordinary people can't withstand it! Alright, stop talking nonsense, this old man can't wait any longer, go and act!" The Hou Tu Transformation Cauldron nagged a few words, sounding a little impatient.
At this moment, the Bijing Suanni Beast finally let go and made squeaking sounds. The two apes were stunned when they heard it.
Ape Thirteen then transmitted a message to Zhang Yuanjing, "Yuanjing, the Bijing Suanni Beast says there is a powerful demon in this soil that we can't defeat!"
Zhang Yuanjing nodded, "Senior Divine Cauldron has already explained it. He will deal with this demon, but we need to lure it out."
Fire Crow Taoist asked in a deep voice, "What did Senior Divine Cauldron say?"
Zhang Yuanjing pointed to the location of the central green grass with his right finger, his expression solemn, "Senior said that we must seal off our five senses and divine sense and fly to that place as quickly as possible to pluck out the five green grasses. He specifically instructed that the demon under the soil is called Nether Dragon, which is best at confusing people's minds. If we fall into its illusion, we will fall into the soil ourselves and never be saved."
Fire Crow Taoist had roamed the cultivation world for hundreds of years and had never heard of the name Nether Dragon, but since Senior Divine Cauldron said so, it must be a very powerful demon.
He didn't ask any more questions immediately, but keenly pointed out the key to flying over the strange soil, "Since we have to seal off our five senses and divine sense, then we have to estimate the time first, otherwise we will either fly too far or not reach it. Did Senior say that we should go one by one, or fly over together?"
"He didn't say. However, if there is danger, it's better for everyone to be with me!" Zhang Yuanjing pondered slightly and said slowly.
Fire Crow Taoist nodded, which was what he expected. Among the two people and three beasts, he had the fastest escape speed, followed by Ape Thirteen, and the slowest was of course Zhang Yuanjing, the Foundation Establishment cultivator. He pondered for a moment and suggested, "Then let this old Taoist fly with you all in a ray of light. It's only five miles in total, so I'm not afraid of consumption."
Zhang Yuanjing immediately said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Senior."
Ape Twelve then asked expectantly if the green grass in the center of the strange soil was Nethergrass.
Zhang Yuanjing smiled, "Senior Divine Cauldron doesn't remember the name of the grass, but he said that this thing can enhance the Yin spirit, so it's probably the Nethergrass that Clan Leader Ape is looking for!"
Ape Twelve was overjoyed and bowed to Zhang Yuanjing repeatedly, not knowing whether he was thanking Zhang Yuanjing or the Hou Tu Transformation Cauldron.
Zhang Yuanjing waved his hand, signaling him not to be too polite, and then said to the two giant apes with a serious expression, "This Nether Dragon is very powerful. When flying, you must guard your original intentions, close off your five senses, and turn yourselves into ignorant and unconscious beings. You must not have any doubts, curiosity, or fear, and release your five senses to observe the surrounding situation! Remember, if there is danger, Senior Divine Cauldron will clear it for us!"
The Golden-Backed Giant Ape clan was naturally impatient and easily impulsive, so he had to repeatedly warn them. As for the Bijing Suanni Beast, it was naturally cautious and intelligent, so he didn't need to say much.
"Senior, let's begin!"
Fire Crow Taoist nodded, sacrificed his flying magic weapon, and cast a spell. The flying sword grew larger in the wind, and then a white light was generated, swirling around the sword. Fire Crow Taoist took the lead and landed on the sword light, then signaled one person and three beasts to come up quickly.
After everyone and the beasts stood on the flying sword, Fire Crow Taoist pointed with a magic formula, and the flying sword generated several more white lights, wrapping the two people and three beasts. He shouted in a low voice, "Go!" and the flying sword soared into the air for thirty feet and shot towards the rear.
"This old Taoist will test the speed first. When turning back, listen to this old Taoist say the word 'close', and immediately close off your five senses and divine sense! Remember, remember, don't hesitate!"
The flying sword, wrapped in sword light, shot five miles to the rear, then circled around, split open the dense yellow mist, and shot directly towards the few green grasses in the center of the strange soil.
A Core Formation cultivator can fly at least 130 to 140 feet per breath at full speed. If there are special escape techniques and drugs to assist, it is possible to reach two or three times that speed in the short term. Fire Crow Taoist had attained the Dao with three thousand fire crows, so he had many insights into escape techniques, and could reach nearly 200 feet per breath at his fastest. At this time, he was carrying one person and three beasts with his sword light, and his speed was greatly reduced, but he still had a speed of one mile per breath.
The flying sword arrived at the junction of the dark soil and the strange soil in five breaths. He shouted, "Close!" and then closed off his five senses and divine sense, entering a state of confusion, with only a glimmer of clarity in his mind, counting the time. One breath, two breaths, three breaths...
For the two people and three beasts, this was undoubtedly an extremely difficult five breaths. Abandoning all external sensations, abandoning the awareness of all dangers, entrusting their lives to a Divine Cauldron Senior who was powerful but very unfamiliar, no one, including Zhang Yuanjing, could completely avoid a trace of distracting thoughts.
When Zhang Yuanjing instructed the two apes, he was eloquent and every sentence made sense, but when it came to practice, he was also in a daze, as if in a dream, with incredible scenes, dangerous encounters, and seductive temptations, both real and illusory, not knowing whether they were subconscious external sensations or internal perceptions generated in his mind.
If there was an observer, they would be able to see that when the sword light entered the sky above the strange soil, a cloud of gray mist quickly floated out of the dark soil, covering the sword light. In the gray mist, various strange scenes were幻化, and there were also mournful "呜呜呜" sounds.
After two breaths, another white aura in the shape of a palm stretched out from the soil, grabbing towards the sword light. However, at the moment when the white aura palm grabbed the sword light, the sword light trembled slightly and drilled out, continuing to fly towards the green grass along the original route.
A shrill scream came from the ground, and another cloud of black aura冒出, turning into a huge ferocious beast's head, opening its mouth wide, blocking the flying sword's path, waiting for it to throw itself into the net. In the beast's mouth, two rows of sharp teeth were dripping with black liquid, which was very terrifying.
Seeing that the flying sword was about to crash into it, its sword light flashed brilliantly, and at the moment when the sharp teeth bit down, it accelerated and rushed into the beast's mouth, then穿出 from the back of its head, and instantly arrived above the five green grasses.
Among the two people and three beasts, the most difficult one was Fire Crow Taoist. He was clearly just flying at full speed, but the consumption of mana was greater and faster than a life-and-death battle with someone of the same rank. What was even more fatal was that he had to maintain sufficient clarity, and accurately count the five breaths of time with internal perception, without the assistance of external sensations. This was a great test of his Dao heart.
Fortunately, as a seasoned rogue cultivator, his temperament was quite strong. At the critical moment, he restrained his doubts, stabilized his spiritual soul, and rapidly lowered the sword light when the last breath passed. He only heard a "嘭" sound, and the sword light crashed into a hard clod of earth and dissipated. The two people and three beasts inside also released their divine senses and five senses in time, protected themselves, and looked around. Sure enough, they were already in the central land, and they had also fallen in the middle of the five grasses.
"Quick, pluck the grass nearby!"
Zhang Yuanjing shouted, and conveniently took out the Spirit Restraining Hoe and dug out a small grass with black stems and long leaves next to him. Fire Crow Taoist was also not slow, and also pulled out a small grass with black stems and long leaves. The closest to the thick-stemmed, round-leafed grass in the middle was Ape Thirteen. He shook his somewhat dazed head, stretched out his two large claws, and grasped the thick stem of the grass.
"唳!" An extremely shrill voice came from the strange soil, scaring Ape Thirteen's hands to stop.
"Pull it out!" Zhang Yuanjing and Fire Crow Taoist shouted at the same time.
At this time, Ape Twelve and the Bijing Suanni Beast had already pulled out the other two small grasses with black stems and long leaves by the roots.
Ape Thirteen gritted his steel teeth, glared angrily, and lifted his arms, pulling the long grass out of the soil.
"尨!" The voice below became extremely angry, and then a head that was thirty to forty feet long stretched out from the dark soil. It looked like an ox, with horns like a deer, eyes like shrimp, and a long mouth like a donkey, not much different from the head of the legendary holy beast dragon, except that this head was composed of a cloud of gray mist, and only the two eyes were凝结 from some kind of strange black substance.
As soon as this head came out, it opened its giant mouth and bit towards the five-丈 square soil in the center of the strange soil, as if to swallow all the people, beasts, grass, and soil in one gulp.
"Wahahaha, a Nether Dragon that has凝出 Yin crystals, this old man has made a fortune today!"
The Hou Tu Transformation Cauldron had been lurking for so long and could no longer hold back. Especially after seeing the two black eyeballs on the dragon's head, it trembled with excitement. With a "噌" sound, it flew out of Zhang Yuanjing's arms, showing its true form while releasing yellow light, covering the huge dragon head.
The Nether Dragon was originally fierce and menacing, and its huge pressure suppressed the two people and three beasts on the ground, making them unable to move. But when the small cauldron came out, it was terrified and lost its color. Its neck retracted, its head lowered, and it wanted to hide back in the soil.
However, the yellow light extended extremely quickly, and in an instant, it locked the two dragon eyes, and then wrapped the entire head. The part below the neck was severed from the middle because the dragon's body below was pulling too hard. Only half of the neck remained in the yellow light, and the rest still缩回 into the soil.
Then, the Hou Tu Transformation Cauldron, which had completed its true form, generated a powerful suction force, pulling the dragon head that was fixed by the yellow light into the cauldron.
Although the dragon head was separated from its body, its strength still remained. At this critical moment of life and death, it struggled desperately, and its mouth kept发出 "唳唳" screams, shaking the two people and three beasts to the ground, with blood flowing from their mouths, noses, ears, and eyes.
The Hou Tu Transformation Cauldron trembled all over, shaking out a坨 of black, oily mud,砸 on the dragon's mouth, sealing it up, and the screams were immediately interrupted.
The Nether Dragon had no choice but to summon its body below. A huge dragon body that was three hundred feet long flew out of the soil, with fish scales and phoenix feet, a white belly like a snake, and raised its long tail,抽 towards the Hou Tu Transformation Cauldron.
The Hou Tu Transformation Cauldron's outer yellow light flashed, and its figure disappeared, then appeared on the other side of the dragon's head in the yellow light. At the same time, the suction force increased sharply, forcibly swallowing the two black dragon eyes into the cauldron.
The Nether Dragon's head and body convulsed, rolling in the air, but its mouth was sealed, and it could not shout out despite having ten thousand pains.
Taking this opportunity, the Hou Tu Transformation Cauldron suddenly increased five times in size, and the mouth of the cauldron was like a dark abyss, from which a burst of obscure Qi surged, wrapping the dragon's head and body and pulling it into the cauldron.
The Nether Dragon struggled to the death, and its dragon body broke apart, 化整为零, falling towards the soil below. The Hou Tu Transformation Cauldron's Qi increased again, sucking multiple sections of its body into the cauldron. But still, a few sections escaped and quickly遁 towards the strange soil.
The Fire Crow Taoist, who was sitting on the central land and meditating to heal his wounds, suddenly opened his eyes, sacrificed the Xuan Tie Great Gourd, and对着 a ten-丈 long Nether Dragon tail,收 it, sucking the remnant body of the Nether Dragon composed of gray mist into it.
