The flood dragon let out a sharp scream and started to twist crazily, using its head to hit the ground. However, Tang Zheng held onto the sword hilt tightly, allowing the sharp sword to completely sink into it. Please add |
The two pairs of eyes were so close that they could see the burst of light in each other's eyes. However, the flood dragon was filled with the unwillingness of the dying Erza, while Tang Zheng was filled with an irresistible killing intent.
Finally, the flood dragon's screams gradually subsided. Its pupils began to dilate as its life force slowly drained away. With a boom, the flood dragon fell limply to the ground, completely dead.
Tang Zheng pulled out his War Soul Sword and walked towards the elder: "Elder, how are your injuries?"
The elder squeezed out a smile with difficulty, "We won't die, Lord Envoy. We didn't manage to protect you well, we deserve to die ten thousand times …"
Tang Zheng immediately stopped him, "Elder, I should be the one saying that. I am your envoy, yet I was unable to protect you. It is my dereliction of duty to let you take the risk."
The elder's eyes were filled with emotion.
"I'll go take a look at Ye Yuan first."
Tang Zheng walked down the mountain path and finally found Ye Yuan. He was unconscious, Tang Zheng checked and saw that his muscles and bones were injured, but it was not life-threatening.
It was already not easy to survive the battle with the Flood Dragon. The Witch Clan's resistance to attacks was indeed strong.

After waking Ye Yuan up, the two of them returned to the entrance of the cave, only to discover that Fang Shishi had already fainted, and her face was gradually covered in a layer of green.
The elder turned pale with fright, "Lord Envoy, Miss Fang was poisoned by the snake venom just now. Hurry up and give her the medicine." As he spoke, he took out a porcelain bottle from his bosom.
Tang Zheng was shocked. He was recovering his power earlier and did not know that she had been poisoned by the snake venom. He did not dare delay and immediately fed her a pill.
The green color on her face had not completely faded, but it was controlled and did not spread to other places. In the end, it gathered on her forehead and formed a small dot.
Tang Zheng knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked: "Elder, her snake venom does not seem to have been completely removed."
The Elder was bewildered. After observing for a long time, he said, "Yes, this Flood Dragon's poison is many times more potent than ordinary snake venom. My pill is effective against ordinary snake venom, but it can't completely remove the Flood Dragon's poison."
"Then what should we do? Will she be in danger?" Tang Zheng turned pale with fright. He would rather be poisoned himself than let Fang Shishi be poisoned, let alone if anything happened to her.
"Lord Envoy, don't worry. The poison in her body is temporarily under control. When we return, I will carefully look for a way to detoxify it." The elder said.
Tang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, but he hated that flood dragon to the core.
Fang Shishi slowly woke up and saw Tang Zheng's ashen face. She hurriedly asked, "What happened? Where's that Mang Jiao?" Before Tang Zheng had killed the Mang Jiao, she had fainted due to the poison.
Tang Zheng quickly hugged her tightly and comforted her, "Don't worry, I've already killed that beast. “
Fang Shishi revealed an expression of relief: "That's good, it's too powerful, I'm not its match."
"Don't talk for now, rest well."
Fang Shishi supported his arm and stood up, revealing a smile: "Don't think of me as so weak, I'm fine."
Seeing that she was really fine, Tang Zheng was slightly relieved. However, when he saw the green color on her forehead, his heart could not completely relax.
"Lord Envoy, this beast is strange. Do you think it was attracted by the things in the cave?" The elder asked worriedly.
Tang Zheng glanced at the cave and said with a frown: "There is a high chance that it is that huge egg. That is definitely not an ordinary thing. For the Python Dragon to be so impatient to obtain something, it must be a treasure."
The elder said, "That's for sure. After all, this is the Holy Land of my Witch Clan, and the things inside are sacred objects of the Witch Clan. Of course they are treasures, but this Holy Land has existed for who knows how many years. Why didn't that Mang Jiao come to the Holy Land before, but now?"
This was the same question that troubled the few of them. They looked at each other in dismay, and finally cast their gazes towards Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng thought for a long time, then asked: "Elder, why weren't there any animals on this mountain before?"
"According to the ancestors of the Witch Clan, there are also restrictions in the Sacred Grounds, so the fierce birds and beasts do not dare to approach."
"But this time, the Mang Jiao came up the mountain. Could it be that this restriction has also weakened?" Tang Zheng guessed.
The elder thought for a moment, then nodded: "There is indeed such a possibility. Sir, you have weakened the restrictions on the Witch Clan in the Ten Thousand Mountains, so the restrictions on the Sacred Grounds must have also been weakened. That's why this beast dared to trespass into the Sacred Grounds."
"That means the Sacred Grounds are no longer safe. There will be other beasts attacking in the future."
Hearing that, the elder's expression changed greatly. He looked at the cave and said worriedly, "Then what should we do? The sacred objects of the Witch Clan are definitely not allowed to be touched by these beasts. Furthermore, the sacred objects are related to the fate of the Witch Clan, so they are definitely not allowed to be lost. "
"Elder, when you go back, send your clansmen to patrol the Sacred Grounds. I'll guard this place first." Tang Zheng sighed and said.
"That's the only way. Thank you for your hard work, Sir."
"I'll stay behind to accompany the envoy." Ye Yuan said.
The elder nodded and went down the mountain alone. When he passed by the Python Flood Dragon's corpse, he stopped and said, "Sir Envoy, this Python Flood Dragon's entire body is a treasure, it cannot be wasted, especially the inner core in its stomach, it is greatly beneficial to cultivation."
Tang Zheng thought of the Red Chain Snake's inner core and nodded his head to show that he understood.
"Shishi, sit down and rest first. I'll take this Python Flood Dragon's inner core."
Fang Shishi was eager to give it a try: "I'll go with you, I've never seen an inner core before."
"This Python Flood Dragon is a demonic beast. As long as it is a demonic beast, it will have an inner core. The inner core contains the spirit energy of heaven and earth, and is also the essence of the demonic beast. After consuming it, one's cultivation will increase greatly." Tang Zheng said.
Ye Yuan also nodded his head in agreement, "However, this demonic beast's inner core is only useful to cultivators, because a normal person's body would not be able to withstand so much energy. Cultivators can circulate their energy and refine it."
Tang Zheng looked at Ye Yuan with admiration. Although he was not able to cultivate yet, he knew a lot.
Ye Yuan understood the look in his eyes, scratched his head and said: "This was all taught to us by the elders, the elders are the ones who understand the most in our Witch Clan."
"You're injured, so you should rest well." Tang Zheng warned.
Ye Yuan shook his head: "Sir Envoy, I don't know how many times I've been injured while hunting. Although it's a little heavier this time, it won't take my life. When the elders bring back the medicine to treat me, it won't be a big problem."
Tang Zheng did not try to persuade him anymore. The few of them arrived in front of the Python Flood Dragon's corpse. Its body, which was over ten feet long, meandered through the forest.
If an ordinary person were to see such a huge monster, they would probably be so scared that they wouldn't dare to move. Only this group of fierce people would dare to fight against it so bravely.
"Sir Envoy, let me do this kind of work." Ye Yuan volunteered.
Tang Zheng shook his head: "Its scales are incomparably hard, ordinary weapons would not be able to harm it in the slightest. Even if it is my War Soul Sword, if I do not activate my Innate Qi, I will not be able to harm it, so let me do it."
Tang Zheng activated his Innate Qi, and the War Soul Sword glowed with a black light. With a few slashes, the Python Flood Dragon's stomach was cut open.
The scales of the Python Flood Dragon were as hard as iron, but the flesh inside was very fresh and tender.
Ye Yuan said: "The entire body of the Python Flood Dragon is a treasure, its scales can be used as armor, and its meat contains more spirituality than the meat of ordinary animals, it is also a good thing to refine one's muscles and bones. Back then, when it ate our clansmen, we gathered the power of our entire clan to kill it and use its flesh to help our clansmen refine their muscles and bones. Now, Sir Envoy has finally helped us achieve this wish. "
"Oh, the Python Flood Dragon actually has so many benefits." Tang Zheng's heart moved, "Then are there any other Demonic Beasts in the Ten Thousand Huge Mountains?"
Tang Zheng's strength had increased greatly. If he could hunt Demonic Beasts and obtain enough Demonic Beasts' inner cores, then his and Fang Shishi's power would increase by leaps and bounds.
Ye Yuan shook his head regretfully: "There are still a lot of ordinary beasts in this mountain, but a Demonic Beasts like this Python Flood Dragon that has already gained intelligence is very rare …" Suddenly, he paused for a moment, and said hesitantly: "But I've heard the elders mention a place before. It's a forbidden area, at the westernmost part of the Ten Thousand Huge Mountains.
Tang Zheng was overjoyed, and asked: "Then do you know the specific situation of that forbidden area?"
Ye Yuan shook his head: "Our clansmen never go to that place, but the elders should know a lot about it."
Tang Zheng made up his mind that he would definitely ask the elders about this place later.
"Tang Zheng, look at that shiny thing, isn't that the Neidan?" Suddenly, Fang Shishi pointed to a sparkling and translucent thing the size of a baby's fist in the Python Flood Dragon's abdomen.
Tang Zheng and Ye Yuan looked over at the same time. If this wasn't an inner core, then what was it?
Back then, the Red Chain Snake's inner core that Tang Zheng had consumed was only the size of a fingernail, but this inner core was many times larger than that one, so the energy contained within could not be compared.
Tang Zheng took it out and placed it in his palm. The inner core was sparkling and translucent, like a huge pearl.
This was the first time Ye Yuan and Fang Shishi had seen this thing, and both of them opened their eyes wide at the same time, like two curious babies.
"Shishi, hurry up and consume this inner core. It will help your cultivation." Tang Zheng said.
Fang Shishi pouted and shook her head: "I don't want it, you were the one who killed the Python Flood Dragon, moreover, you need to raise your strength even more."
"My cultivation has just broken through, and I'm now at the first stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage. If I rashly consume this inner core before I can consolidate it, it won't be of much benefit to you, so it's most suitable for you to consume it. In the future, you will also face danger alone, so you need to increase your strength as soon as possible."
After the summer vacation, Fang Shishi would be going abroad. Without Tang Zheng by her side, Fang Shishi could only rely on herself, so he had to do his best to make her stronger.
However, there was one thing he was lying about, and that was that it was not impossible for him to consume the inner core right now, but he could only use this excuse to persuade Fang Shishi to consume it. Otherwise, how could a stubborn girl bear to consume such a treasure?
Fang Shishi did not suspect anything and excitedly accepted the Neidan. She opened her mouth wide and swallowed the Neidan. Immediately, countless amounts of energy entered her eight extraordinary meridians.
"Hurry up and refine this energy." Tang Zheng warned.
Fang Shishi immediately sat down cross-legged and activated the Cloud Water Art. The Python Flood Dragon's energy was slowly refined by her, and her Innate Qi rapidly increased …
