Chapter 008: The Arrival of the Cold Crows
Shh ... ...
Two cold crows chased after Old Master Zhong.
Soon, at that small hill, once we cross this mountain, we will be able to evade the gaze of the cold crows
With a hint of tension, Old Master Zhong continued to walk forward, following the traces of the fight. Before long, he came upon a corpse.
Upon this realization, Old Master Zhong's heart brightened. He swiftly activated the Hongluan Heavenly Scripture. As the scripture was invoked, a layer of pink protective shield suddenly formed around Old Master Zhong. While it possessed no capability to withstand physical attacks, it effectively repelled the miasma outside.
After flipping through the silver wolf for a while, when he came across the knife marks left by his own large blade, Old Master Zhong finally confirmed that this wolf was indeed the silver wolf that had tried to eat him that day
Anti-Miasma Pill
Outside, one must either avoid being hunted to death by two cold crows, or face the possibility of being pursued by even more crows from behind, or else come in and fight it out.
Standing at the summit of a mountain peak, Old Master Zhong surveyed the surrounding landscape. To the left, between the continuous range of mountains, there was an abundance of miasma, which densely shrouded the internal environment. The terrifying black miasma resulted in a significant reduction in the number of wild beasts and demonic creatures in that area
With a swift motion, he turned his body and charged towards the area of miasma on the right
The inner elixir, the inner elixir of the silver wolf, represents the most direct distinction between demon beasts and wild beasts: the inner elixir. Demon beasts already possess an inner elixir, while wild beasts do not
Dizziness? Is it not possible to avoid it with the use of the illustrated book and the Zhuang Wan?
Perception
Outside, two cold crows are unwilling to leave, what should be done? The Red Luan Heavenly Scripture is merely the first layer, and it cannot operate endlessly
Wow
Wow ... ...
Wow ... ...
However, Old Master Zhong discovered that although his arm had a numb sensation, his head was only slightly dizzy, yet he still retained some awareness
While climbing the mountain, suddenly, Old Master Zhong heard a thud.
Upon hearing this sound, Old Master Zhong was taken aback, raising his head to look. A crow? No, a white crow. A winter crow? With its wings spread, it surprisingly reached over two meters.
Call ... ... ''
In a short while, the poison in the body will be completely resolved
Although the small dagger is small, it is much sharper than the large sword
The demon beast absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and moon through its inner elixir. Similarly, this inner elixir is also filled with the essence of the sun and moon. Although, in the eyes of other cultivators, this small demon wolf cannot perform even a single spell, and its inner elixir is certainly the lowest quality, for Elder Zhong, it is a great treasure
It is dire, it is dire; if this continues, I will surely be dragged to death by the cold crows. After fleeing for more than an hour, the cold crows relentlessly pursued me, just as Old Master Zhong was growing anxious.
On the right side, there is a north-south flowing river, which rushes powerfully and is truly magnificent
Upon witnessing this scene, Old Master Zhong sensed that something was amiss. The cold crow? The chill? This, this silver wolf is frozen stiff? Could it be that the illustration is indeed the work of it?
He let out a long sigh. According to the map, he was on the right path. If he maintained his previous pace, in another two months, he would reach Kaiyangzong.
Grasping the large knife, Old Master Zhong quickly fled beneath the towering trees. This remote mountain area, with its dense forest, provided him with significant advantages.
Run! Run quickly!
As he fled towards the miasma zone, Old Master Zhong's feet suddenly became somewhat stiff, and his shoes were already covered with a considerable amount of frost and snow
It intruded in
This is a small hill, situated in this abrupt valley. It appears as if it were artificially constructed, for the surface of the hill is filled with hard rocks, while the soil beneath the small hill contains few solid stones
On the third day, Old Master Zhong's clothes were torn in many places, yet he resolutely continued his journey into the mountains
Old Master Zhong wiped the sweat from his forehead and used his vital energy to dispel the coldness in his arms and legs. He glanced at the cold crows circling outside, reluctant to leave. A wave of fear surged in his heart; the dangers of this mountain were too great. If he had not reached the innate stage, he would have died long ago
wolf carcass
Upon seeing this, Old Master Zhong felt a surge of joy. He swiftly channeled his mental energy to merge with his true qi, creating a mist of red luan that continuously expelled the miasma within his body
Upon thinking of this, Old Master Zhong steeled himself, running while using his somewhat numb right arm to reach into his bosom and retrieve a black pill resembling a book.
Upon realizing this, Old Master Zhong was taken aback, and in a state of panic, he quickly circulated his energy to expel the poison. In that brief moment, the miasma had already entered his body, and Old Master Zhong's arm had begun to turn black.
The Pest Repelling Pill can prevent a hundred types of miasma, effectively resisting many kinds of noxious vapors. However, it remains uncertain whether it will be effective in this particular area
The sound? It came from the foot of the mountain he had climbed. Old Master Zhong squinted his eyes, stood still, and began to observe carefully. After decades of building a business empire, he had long understood that a seemingly insignificant anomaly often represents a significant opportunity. If grasped well, it could lead to abundant profits; even if nothing comes of it, there would be no loss.
Handle it with care. Old Master Zhong continued to walk deeper into the mountains
At that moment, suddenly, a faint sound of a bell rang above Old Master Zhong's head
At this moment, the cold crow was staring at Old Master Zhong, its eyes turning red as if Old Master Zhong were its enemy
Cold crow? Demon beast?
Looking into the distance, Old Master Zhong took a few leaps and landed at the foot of the mountain, preparing to continue walking northward. However, just as he reached the bottom of the mountain, Old Master Zhong suddenly stopped.
As the cold crow cawed, a stream of white vapor quickly emanated from its mouth towards Old Master Zhong
Although the silver wolf has thick skin, it is now dead, and the aura of the demon no longer protects its skin. Coupled with the unusual material of the small dagger, after the duration of an incense stick, it was finally pierced by Old Master Zhong.
Wow ... ...
The two cold crows indeed did not wish to enter the miasma zone, and they kept cawing loudly outside
At that moment, Old Master Zhong felt a bit dizzy
... ...
Old Master Zhong furrowed his brows as he surveyed the surrounding environment
It is imperative to leave quickly, to traverse this miasma zone, to climb over that small hill, to escape the sight of the cold crows, and then continue on the journey
The broadsword has long been lost, and Old Master Zhong has no intention of concerning himself with it any longer. Run, there is only running now. But can one really escape? Two cold crows, two cold crows.
Old Master Zhong looks at the sky; now, although it is not summer, the sun is blazing in the sky, and it is impossible for it to freeze, isn't it
Upon realizing this, Old Master Zhong was taken aback. He cautiously glanced around, confirming that there were indeed no other monsters nearby. He swiftly drew out a small dagger and slashed at the abdomen of the silver wolf.
Old Master Zhong fled rapidly, while the cold crow seemed to pursue him relentlessly. No matter where Old Master Zhong ran, it followed him there, even in some open spaces, it continued to exhale cold air, as if it wanted to freeze Old Master Zhong to death.
The vital energy circulates rapidly, but it can only provide a certain level of resistance; the miasma is still slowly entering the body
Did the silver wolf die? Was it killed by a more powerful demon beast? Surely the silver wolf, upon seeing any demon beast, would charge forward without hesitation? As a result, it was unable to withstand the attack, and instead of successfully overpowering its opponent, it met its own demise
Is it safe now, really safe?
Yesterday, that silver wolf? Old Master Zhong was taken aback upon seeing the image in the book, quickly approaching. At this moment, the silver wolf was covered in wounds, with streaks of blood appearing as if cut by sharp blades. Moreover, its body was covered in countless frost and snow, freezing it in place.
Suddenly, a cold crow flew towards me, two cold crows
Upon seeing the white chill, Old Master Zhong instinctively recoiled. The chill sprayed onto a large tree, and in the blink of an eye, the tree was covered in frost and snow. Was it frozen?
Upon seeing this peculiar sight, Old Master Zhong's previous thoughts became even more intense. Although the auspicious moment of Hongluan would not last long, Old Master Zhong still began to search around. Soon, he discovered a cave in a very concealed corner.
Inside, everything was frozen stiff. After searching for a while, Old Master Zhong finally found a silver bead the size of a fingertip.
Looking at his hands, Old Master Zhong felt even more anxious. The cold crows outside circled without leaving. What should he do
Frozen
On several occasions, if it had not been for Old Master Zhong's quick evasion, he would have already been eroded by the cold. However, even that fleeting chill that brushed past him left Old Master Zhong's arm feeling somewhat numb
Red Luan Mist
Is the tree broken? Is the grass flattened? Was there a fight here before? Moreover, it seems that it was quite intense.
The Pest-Repelling Pill was crafted through the combined efforts of many esteemed medical practitioners invited by Old Master Zhong, representing the utmost limit achievable by mortal means.
Without hesitation, Old Master Zhong quickly ran towards the north
