Wei Chou reached out and deftly took out the Demon Devouring Bow from his waist. He slowly drew the bowstring, and spiritual energy instantly condensed into an arrow of light. Wei Chou pointed it at the Lightning Umbrella Dragon's neck with a serious expression.
At this time, the Lightning Umbrella Dragon had finished eating the Bloodthorn Vine Wolf's head. It immediately bit down on its neck and dragged it back. It was also at this time that the Lightning Umbrella Dragon revealed a weak spot on its neck. There, a few scales had been torn off by something, revealing a scar. This was the chance Wei Chou had been waiting for!
"Whoosh!"
The arrow burst forth in the cold wind. By the time the Lightning Umbrella Dragon heard the sound of the wind, it was already too late. It howled in pain as the arrow hit its neck. Wei Chou's arrow had just hit the Umbrella Dragon's wound.
Lin Muyu cheered inwardly. The cold wind at night was very cold, and the wind changed direction very frequently. The hill was almost 150 meters away from the Lightning Umbrella Dragon, and Wei Chou's arrow had actually hit its target from such a distance. Wei Chou's arm strength and eyesight were definitely among the best in the entire Royal Guard. This ability alone was enough to earn him a place in the Royal Guard!
At this time, the Lightning Umbrella Dragon roared angrily. It put down the vine wolf's corpse and rushed up the hill. It looked like it couldn't restrain its anger. Unfortunately, its movements were a little sluggish, and the poison from the Demon Devouring Bow was quickly spreading through its neck.
"Go!"
Lin Muyu let out a low roar and rushed down the hill with the Dragon Spirit Sword in hand. Her martial soul shone brightly, and the gourd walls were successfully activated. After the gourd walls blocked the Umbrella Dragon's attack with a clang, the Dragon Spirit Sword quickly swept across and directly chopped the scales on the Umbrella Dragon's neck.
"Crack …"
A Holy Grade weapon was different from a Mysterious Grade weapon. The sword directly cut through the scales on the Umbrella Dragon's neck, cutting in by almost five centimeters. Blood instantly flowed out.
"Roar …"
The umbrella dragon roared and suddenly raised its head. Suddenly, bolts of purple lightning condensed in the surroundings, forcing Xiahou Sang and the others to retreat. Their white battle robes were almost charred black. Only Lin Muyu alone could withstand the lightning attack. Her battle boots stepped on the ground, and she endured the numbing feeling of the lightning all over her body. The Dragon Spirit Sword slashed at the Lightning Umbrella Dragon's head for the second time.
"Crack …"
The pseudo-dragon's scales were shattered. How could it withstand such a fierce attack? Its head was already bleeding. It roared and raised its sharp claws, landing directly on Lin Muyu's waist.
The moment the Dragon Scale Wall shattered, Lin Muyu felt a dull pain in her waist. A large piece of the Holy Palace Armor had been torn apart, but her body did not suffer much damage. She did not expect the Thunder Umbrella Dragon to be able to counterattack after suffering such a heavy injury.
Steeling her heart, Lin Muyu's wrist was filled with demonic energy as she directly injected the Second Element's Profound Energy into the longsword. With a low roar, she pressed the Dragon Spirit Sword against the Umbrella Dragon's head and pushed it straight in!
"Crack!"
The sharp blade penetrated the Spirit Beast's head. Demonic energy danced wildly. The Thunder Umbrella Dragon could not withstand it anymore. It cried out in pain and fell to the ground, its body twitching. Lightning continued to flash around it. Xiahou Sang, Wei Chou, and the others did not have the courage to step forward.
…
"Phew …"
Lin Muyu heaved a sigh of relief. Holding the longsword, she smiled and said, "Luckily, Wei Chou's arrow injured the Umbrella Dragon first. Otherwise, we would not have been able to kill it so easily."
Wei Chou looked at the snowy ground that had been scorched by the lightning and said, "My Lord, your green gourd's defense is stronger. That's why we were able to defeat it. Otherwise … I'm afraid we would have all been burned to ashes by the lightning."
"Mm." Xiahou Sang nodded in agreement.
Lin Muyu did not listen to the praise. He dug out the Thunder Umbrella Dragon's Spirit Stone. A 6,500-year-old Light Spirit Stone was exactly what he needed.
"My Lord, we can return to Lanyan City now." Wei Chou smiled smugly and said, "I didn't think it would be so smooth. Hmph, Ze Tian Palace's Supervisor Che Qiong made things difficult for us. He probably didn't think that we would be able to complete his almost impossible mission so quickly, right?"
"No."
Lin Muyu shook her head and said, "We can't leave yet."
"Why?" Wei Chou and Xiahou Sang were both stunned.
"Because there must be another Thunder Umbrella Dragon." Lin Muyu said with certainty, "Just now, this Thunder Umbrella Dragon could have eaten this rattan wolf here, but it dragged this Thunder Umbrella Dragon back. This means that it needed to feed the other umbrella dragon. Also, this umbrella dragon's neck is injured. It's obvious that an even stronger spirit beast fought it. This means that the other umbrella dragon is already heavily injured. Otherwise, it would have come out to look for food. Since this is the case, we need to continue searching here. Since we're already here, let's maximize the benefits."
Wei Chou was dumbfounded. "It's just as Commander Qin Lei said. The Commander is a genius who is skilled in both the pen and the sword. Xiahou Sang and I would never have thought of such a deduction."
Xiahou Sang chuckled and used a dagger to take out the Spirit Stone from the rattan wolf's skull in the Thunder Umbrella Dragon's stomach. He smiled and said, "I only know that Spirit Stones can be sold for money. That's enough …"
Lin Muyu nodded and said, "Let's go and find the umbrella dragon's nest. It shouldn't be far. We just need to follow its footprints."
"Yes!"
…
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. The moonlight fell on the snowy ground, creating a dazzling white.
Lin Muyu and the rest followed the Umbrella Dragon's footprints. After about half an hour, they finally found that the footprints extended all the way to a cave under a mountain. They could smell an abnormal stench from afar. There were even some bones piled up outside the cave. Some of them belonged to humans, but the bones were black and had moss on them. They must have been there for a long time.
Wei Chou frowned and said, "Maybe the umbrella dragon in this cave is more powerful?"
"Not necessarily."
Lin Muyu said lightly, "If the umbrella dragon in the cave is more powerful, it should have come out to look for food."
"Milord, let me go first!" Xiahou Sang said with cupped fists. He was probably worried that something would happen to Lin Muyu, so he let his subordinate go first.
However, Lin Muyu shook her head and did not say anything. Instead, she walked in with her sword. The stench became even stronger. As they went down the cave, the snow melted and formed a small canal that flowed into the cave. As a result, Lin Muyu's steps were very slippery. She could faintly hear a low growl when she was about ten meters into the cave.
Lin Muyu raised her Dragon Spirit Sword. Immediately, the Saint Grade Sword burst into flames and illuminated everything around it.
At the end of the cave, there was some dry grass and tree branches. An even larger Umbrella Dragon was entrenched inside. Its neck was a mess of blood and flesh. It was indeed injured, to the extent that it did not even have the strength to move. All it could do was open its eyes and growl at Lin Muyu.
"Ah?!"
Wei Chou was shocked the moment he stepped into the cave. "Milord, this is a female dragon. The mother of the umbrella dragon from before should be like this. Also … this is a ten-thousand-year-old umbrella dragon that failed its tribulation!"
Lin Muyu also saw that there were a total of nine distinct golden lines on the female dragon's head. As for the tenth, it was a little dim and scattered. It was as if the process of condensing was suddenly interrupted. Needless to say, this female dragon must have been attacked in the process of transforming into a true dragon. That was why she ended up in such a miserable state.
"She's injured. Her dragon essence is leaking." Xiahou Sang suddenly pulled out his steel sword and said, "Milord, let's finish off this ten-thousand-year-old Thunder Umbrella Dragon immediately. Since we've already killed its son, let's go all the way."
Lin Muyu knew that there was no need to be soft-hearted at this time. She nodded and said, "Let's give her a clean death."
"Don't worry, milord!"
Xiahou Sang suddenly leaped forward and stepped on the female dragon's head. He raised his sword with both hands and stabbed the wound on the female dragon's neck.
"Pfft!"
Blood splattered everywhere. The ten-thousand-year-old umbrella dragon raised its head and howled in pain. However, it could not fight back at all. Xiahou Sang turned the hilt of his sword and cut off the female dragon's neck. In the blink of an eye, the umbrella dragon's head drooped. It was dead. A wild beast spirit flashing with lightning appeared in the air.
"It's a ten-thousand-year-old wild beast spirit!" Wei Chou smiled and said, "Commander, aren't you already close to the peak of the First Heaven of the Heavenly Realm? Why don't you try to refine this umbrella dragon's wild beast spirit? A fresh ten-thousand-year-old spirit beast's wild beast spirit is too precious. It's not a treasure that you can come across just because you want to! "
Lin Muyu nodded. After so many days of cultivation, he could indeed feel the fighting aura in his body filling up day by day. He was almost at the point of saturation. Almost every day, he had a premonition that he was about to break through his limits. He just hadn't had the opportunity to do so. This was a good opportunity. The umbrella dragon's element was light, but it also had the power of thunder and lightning. Lin Muyu cultivated in a very mixed set of laws, so he didn't care what kind of wild beast spirit it was.
Xiahou Sang swung his saber at the umbrella dragon's head in an attempt to extract the spirit stones, but he couldn't cut through it. He shook his head helplessly and said, "My saber is only of fine quality. My Lord, why don't you use your sword to extract the spirit stones?"
Lin Muyu couldn't help but smile. He swung his sword and immediately broke the umbrella dragon's head. He took out a fresh 10000 year old light spirit stone and put it in his Cosmos Sack. Then, he propped the Dragon Spirit Sword on the ground and began to release his martial soul to refine the wild beast spirit. At the same time, he ordered, "The few of you guard me outside the cave. Be careful, there may be other spirit beasts here."
"Yes, my Lord, don't worry and cultivate!"
…
The six-tiered green gourd emitted a hissing sound as it greedily absorbed and refined the wild beast spirit. Lin Muyu felt an extremely empty feeling in his Qihai, as if no amount of spiritual power was enough to fill it. This was a sign that he was about to break through. He was secretly delighted and quickly released the refining cauldron to assist in the refinement. This way, he could finish it faster. After all, this place was simply too dangerous.
