Chapter 95: This Is a Mythical Creature!
After ending the live stream, Qi Xuan sat on a piece of bluestone and gasped for breath.
He had been running around with a flushed face, and it was not easy for him to get rid of the pursuers. Only three-tenths of the Spiritual Energy in his body remained.
“I can’t take such risks next time.”
“Who would have thought that the insect swarm could form so many ferocious beasts?”
Thinking of the previous battle, Qi Xuan couldn’t help but feel a lingering fear.
He didn’t think so much in the insect swarm before, and he just rushed up in a moment of impulse.
After all, the Cold Moon Ephemeral was really too rare, and the one in front of him was of extremely high quality.
Fortunately, the Disintegration Talisman’s effect was explosive, and he had awakened his Yuan Core.
Otherwise, he would most likely have been left on the spot by those white ferocious beasts this time.
Qi Xuan sat on the big stone and seriously reflected.
Then he became happy again.
“No matter what, the Cold Moon Ephemeral is finally in my hands.”
He reached out and took out the Cold Moon Ephemeral from his Personal Space.
On the palm-sized white flower, the petals were like jade, emitting a faint light, smelling fragrant, and carrying a hint of bone-chilling cold.
This kind of Cold Moon Ephemeral of extremely high Grade, even if a normal person touched it, they would immediately freeze into an ice cube.
Fortunately, he was a Cultivator. With a little Spiritual Energy, he immediately dispersed the cold air that was rushing towards him.
Although it would be better to refine Pills with Auxiliary Materials.
But there were no Auxiliary Materials, and there was no Alchemy.
It’s better to eat it directly.
This thing is only useful now. When he reaches the Foundation Stage, it’s hard to say. There are too many Spiritual Medicines and Spiritual Plants that are more powerful than it in the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Not to mention that he would probably be drawing Silver every day at that time. If nothing unexpected happened, he should be able to draw a lot of Spiritual Plants similar to the Cold Moon Ephemeral.
“Hiss~ It’s so cold~”
Swallowing the flower, it melted in his mouth. Qi Xuan felt that his tongue was about to freeze.
Following that, a chill spread from the tip of his tongue to his abdomen, and then spread to his limbs and bones.
Qi Xuan immediately began to meditate and refine the Medicinal Effect of the Cold Moon Ephemeral.
One second.
Two seconds.
Three seconds.
Refining completed.
“It’s good to have awakened the Refining Essence, how much time does this save me?”
Qi Xuan couldn’t help but sigh:
“Let’s see how the Medicinal Effect of this Cold Moon Ephemeral is.”
Qi Xuan came down from the bluestone and casually pressed against a big tree next to him.
The next second, the big tree, starting from the point of contact with his palm, was quickly covered with a layer of frost, until the entire tree was completely wrapped!
And under his feet, layers of frost were spreading around, the small puddles nearby froze on the spot, and even the Insects that were swimming in the small puddles were completely frozen at this moment.
Seeing this scene, Qi Xuan couldn’t help but be overjoyed.
“As expected of the Cold Moon Ephemeral! Encyclopedia really didn’t lie to me!”
The most precious thing about the high-Grade Cold Moon Ephemeral is that it can add a layer of ice-cold attribute to Spiritual Energy.
Except for Precious Medicines like the Cold Moon Ephemeral, basically, one has to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm and cultivate a special Cultivation Technique to make Spiritual Energy take on various attributes and become more destructive.
And now, by taking the Cold Moon Ephemeral, he has achieved this in advance.
Of course, there is still a big gap between Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment.
If it was a Foundation Establishment Realm that launched this ice-cold Spiritual Energy, within a hundred feet, it could be frozen instantly, and it would not be limited to only within five feet of his body like this.
“I still have to practice!”
“I still have to find a way to level up!”
“But I’m also close to Qi Refining Stage 4 now, at most four days!”
“I hope I can open a good ability that is not inferior to the Yuan Core next time!”
Putting away his longing, Qi Xuan opened the Lottery page again.
He had experienced so much today, both the Golden Sand Scorpion and the Eight-Bladed Bug, he had to harvest a large batch of Popularity Points at least.
“It would be a success if I could get 100B!”
“95B is also acceptable!”
Qi Xuan suddenly looked at the upper right corner.
239B!
Subtracting the remaining 5B from last time, he harvested a total of 234B this time, another new high!
To be honest, the increase in Popularity Points was a bit abnormal. How could it keep increasing and breaking new highs? It was completely unscientific.
But he couldn’t care so much, anyway, it’s mine when it’s in my hands!
“Let’s do a Ten Draws first!”
Qi Xuan directly pulled the lever, and in the sound of the music, he quickly got the result—
Six Spiritual Items.
Two of them were Spiritual Materials for Refining, which he couldn’t use for the time being, and the remaining four were all rare good things.
The first one was a Clarity Spirit Pill, which could be used to break the state of mental confusion and mental chaos caused by miasma, toxins, etc. In addition to the detoxification effect, taking the Clarity Spirit Pill usually could also quickly make the spirit concentrate, eliminate external interference, and increase the speed of cultivation. It was a very useful Pill.
The second one was also a Pill, but it was a Spirit Recovery Pill, which could quickly restore Spiritual Energy in the body after taking it. It was also a Pill often used by Cultivators in battle and escape.
But it was not as good as the Yuan Core. The Spirit Recovery Pill could only replenish at most five or six tenths of Spiritual Energy at a time, and even the Second Grade Spirit Recovery Pill could only replenish at most seven or eight tenths.
So is it possible for a Qi Refining Cultivator to take a Second-Grade Spirit Recovery Pill and then quickly replenish it in battle?
Yes, brothers, yes.
It can be replenished instantly, full to the point of exploding on the spot, and the enemy doesn’t even need to do anything.
In addition, there are other problems with Pills that restore Spiritual Energy, such as the more you take, the less Spiritual Energy you replenish. The first one is five or six tenths, the second one is three or four tenths, and the third one may be less than one tenth, and the effect is getting worse.
And after replenishment, the Spiritual Energy in the body will be very floating, and the Spiritual Energy in the body is far less condensed than usual.
Finally, taking it many times will accumulate Pill Poison, and it will take a longer time to slowly refine these Pill Poisons afterwards.
Despite so many small problems, and also possessing the Yuan Core, this super-superior substitute, Qi Xuan was still quite happy to draw the Spirit Recovery Pill. At least when the Spiritual Energy stored in the Yuan Core was used up, he could add extra endurance to himself.
Perhaps it was only that short endurance that could determine the final victory of the battle.
The third prize was our old friend, the Conceal Breath Talisman.
Needless to say, this thing has always been reliable.
As for the fourth one, it was a rather special Talisman.
This Talisman was called the Mountain-Piercing Talisman. It was a strengthened version of the Wall-Piercing Talisman. It could not only pass through walls, but also pass through small mountains that were even more massive. Of course, it was only small mountains. If it encountered those continuous mountain ranges, it would be powerless.
In short, this was also a very useful Talisman.
“The result is not bad, let’s do another Ten Draws!”
Qi Xuan pulled the lever again.
This time, he actually drew seven Spiritual Items.
Three of them were Spiritual Materials, two were Green Wood Pills and Spirit Recovery Pills, and the remaining two could be considered “big prizes.”
One of them was the Guaranteed Hit Talisman!
This was an extremely special Talisman. If it was attached to a weapon, even if you didn’t understand any swordsmanship moves, you could just slash with a sword, and the Talisman would take the blade to cut towards the opponent’s fatal weakness. It was fully automated and didn’t require any extra operations. It was simply the savior of various combat rookies.
For him, this Talisman was also a rare Precious Talisman. There were many Demon Beast weaknesses hidden deep inside the body in this world, which were not easy to find, and some could even move inside the body.
Although he had never encountered it before, it was not ruled out that he might encounter it in the future. In this case, the Guaranteed Hit Talisman was simply a targeted solution.
Putting away the Guaranteed Hit Talisman, and then looking at the next one, the corners of Qi Xuan’s mouth couldn’t help but slightly curl:
“I finally drew an Experience Card again.”
The Experience Card drawn this time was a set of finger techniques, called the Shattering Finger. It didn’t seem to be as open and close, and powerful as the Gale Palm and Space-Splitting Leg, but in fact, it was also not to be underestimated.
The Shattering Finger focused on penetration. For example, if you were hit by the Gale Palm or Space-Splitting Leg, because the area of force was large, each place would share the burden. If you were prepared in advance, you would only suffer minor injuries at most.
But it was different with the Shattering Finger. For key parts, such as the heart and throat, even if you were prepared in advance, you might be pierced on the spot if you were not careful.
The Shattering Finger’s attack area was small, but the attack depth was a bit exaggerated.
In addition, the Shattering Finger was relatively economical in terms of Spiritual Energy. After the Space-Splitting Leg was used, it was enough for the Shattering Finger to be used for several rounds. For continuous battles, especially battles where you encountered an excessive number of enemies, it could more obviously exert its advantages.
“I still have 39B left, let’s continue to save it.”
“Counting it up, I have already drawn fifty draws. It’s only fifty draws away from the hundred-draw guarantee of the Bronze Pool. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be a matter of these few days. I don’t know what I can draw.”
“Second-Grade Spiritual Item, Second-Grade Spiritual Item.”
Thinking of the Substitute Death Talisman he had just used, Qi Xuan couldn’t help but chuckle twice.
After the Lottery, Qi Xuan didn’t waste time. He immediately meditated on the spot to restore the Spiritual Energy in his body.
Being in the dangerous Dense forest, he had to be prepared for battle at all times. Only three-tenths of the Spiritual Energy was really too dangerous.
Fortunately, as the concentration of Spiritual Energy in the surrounding environment continued to increase, his recovery speed was also accelerating rapidly.
After about half a day, he not only restored the Spiritual Energy in his body to perfection, but also replenished the Yuan Core, which had been exhausted.
In addition to the gains after the Lottery, he basically returned to the peak state of being able to fight and run away at any time.
Being still, Qi Xuan did not continue to stay in place to cultivate. Instead, he wandered around, preparing to first find out the surrounding environment to prevent any unexpected changes.
After walking for not long, he suddenly heard the roars from afar.
“What’s going on?”
Qi Xuan immediately went to the direction where the sound came from.
Not long after, he arrived at a valley, where there was a loud noise and constant roars. Two huge beasts were fighting in the deep lake in the valley.
These two Demon Beasts, one was a Six-Clawed Black Serpent with a body covered in green, dense Scale armor, a single horn on its head, and six claws on its abdomen, and the other was a Spiked Demon-Patterned Crocodile with a body length of nearly twenty meters, covered with black spikes and round spots.
Whether it was the Six-Clawed Black Serpent or the Spiked Demon-Patterned Crocodile, their Auras had already approached Third Rank, and were at the same level as the Serrated Tyrant Yuan that had been chasing him.
But these two were obviously much stronger than the Serrated Tyrant Yuan.
Because they, like the Stone Iron Beast, were powerful Demon Beasts that came with their own Race talent.
They not only relied on their strong Physique to fight the enemy, but could also use special skills.
As for why these two powerful Demon Beasts suddenly started fighting, Qi Xuan found the reason at a glance.
Behind the Six-Clawed Black Serpent , there was a red, oval Fruit that was about to mature. At first glance, it looked like a red-skinned mango, but it was called the Demon King Fruit.
If humans took it, it could only inspire wisdom and speed up thinking, and the effect was about the same as the Cold Moon Ephemeral of the lowest quality.
But for Demon Beasts, that was a very rare Precious Medicine. After taking it, it could not only increase spirituality, but also strengthen their own bloodline, and even awaken new skills.
Therefore, it was understandable that the two of them would fight.
If there were similar Precious Medicines among humans, they would probably fight even more fiercely than the two of them.
Originally, Qi Xuan planned to hide on the side and secretly watch the fun. If they both suffered, he might be able to pick up a bargain.
But now that he saw the Demon King Fruit, he couldn’t keep hiding.
Because the Demon King Fruit would mature soon, and although these two were fighting, they also retained a bit of strength.
Once the Demon King Fruit matured, they would immediately rush up to devour it.
He wouldn’t be given any chance to reap the benefits.
“It’s difficult, it’s difficult.”
“Although I have recovered to my peak state now, if I try to snatch food from the tiger’s mouth, I’m afraid I will be targeted by the two of them immediately.”
“Although the threat of these two guys is not as good as the Eight-Bladed Bug swarm, the skills they carry are also not to be underestimated.”
“Wait a little longer, wait a little longer.”
“If there is a chance, I will take action. If there is no chance, I will forget about it. Although the Demon King Fruit is precious, I am not a Demon Beast. It is best if I can get it. If I can’t get it, I will pretend I haven’t seen it.”
Qi Xuan comforted himself, unaware that his every move was being projected on the Light screens all over the world.
And next to his Light screen, there was another Light screen.
In the Light screen, there were also two giant beasts fighting. One was the Six-Clawed Black Serpent guarding the Demon King Fruit, and the other was a huge eel that looked very smooth, like blue jade.
In the grass by the lake, many Exploration Team were vaguely lurking.
Seeing this scene, the netizens were shocked:
“I’m dizzy, how did we run into it again?”
“This is too coincidental, right?”
“Actually, it’s very normal. The two Six-Clawed Serpents guarding the Fruit look exactly the same, so the time of maturity should be about the same. In addition, the huge movement caused by the battle between the giant beasts, as long as the ears are not deaf and they are nearby, they will definitely go over to investigate.”
“But what’s the use of going? These giant beasts don’t look easy to deal with. Not to mention those Exploration Team, even Qi God, I don’t think he can pick that Fruit.”
“Yes, look at that attack. A claw falling on the mountain wall can create a big pit. If it falls on a person, I’m afraid it will blow the person up on the spot?”
“Hehehe, you people, you underestimate our Baltic Joint Exploration Team too much.”
“The team in the grass is a Joint Exploration Team composed of elites from Denmark, Switzerland, Finland, and other Various countries. It is not an exaggeration to say that each member is one in ten thousand. What’s more, there are our Frogman in it. The reputation of the Danish Frogman force, I don’t need to say more, right?”
“What is the Frogman force?”
“This is a special forces unit of Denmark, under the command of the Naval Headquarters, with a total of about one hundred people. It is famous worldwide for its underwater combat capabilities and is extremely good at underwater raids at night.”
“Tsk tsk, it’s going to be dark soon, and they really ran into the advantageous area of operation.”
……
While the netizens were chatting, they saw that the Baltic Joint Exploration Team had already begun to take action.
Several Frogman wearing dark green diving suits, wearing mesh masks, and equipped with a complete set of underwater weapons systems, entered the water like ghosts, approaching the opposite side silently.
Seeing this scene, the representatives of Denmark, Switzerland, and other Various countries in the United Nations temporary camp all stood up from their seats, watching their actions with nervous faces.
On the other side, Qi Xuan also took action, but he didn’t get up and go into the water. Instead, he followed the left bank of the lake, using the cover of the Jungle, bypassing the long arc, and quickly approached the opposite side. He had already quietly used the Conceal Breath Talisman on the way.
Double lines were advancing, and both sides were acting at the same time. The netizens’ minds were all attracted for a while.
In the picture, the Six-Clawed Black Serpent was still fiercely fighting with its opponents, and most of its attention was focused on its opponents, and a small part was focused on the nearby Demon King Fruit. It had no spare energy to pay attention to the movements in other places.
After an extremely long minute, several Frogman safely bypassed the battle zone from the side and came to the back of the Six-Clawed Black Serpent .
But the closer they got, the harder it was to get close, because the movements of the two giant beasts in the battle were too violent, and the range of the impact was too wide. It was almost impossible to secretly approach the Demon King Fruit. Even if they forced their way in the open, it would be difficult to do.
At this moment, the Exploration Team lurking on the riverbank sent a signal to them, and then dozens of people in the forest simultaneously fired at the two giant beasts, pouring out a flood of metal.
Amidst a series of sparks and crisp sounds, the battle of the two giant beasts was interrupted on the spot. The Blue Jade Eel, which was closer to the outside, turned around and issued a threatening muffled roar to them, but only received several grenades after being launched.
In the loud explosion, the embarrassed Blue Jade Eel was completely enraged, turned around and rushed towards them.
Even the Six-Clawed Black Serpent , which was slightly behind, also stepped forward a few steps to prevent the Demon King Fruit behind it from being attacked by the opposite bank.
And at this moment, the Frogman, who had been lurking for a long time, suddenly jumped out of the water, and suddenly picked the Demon King Fruit that had just matured, and quickly plunged into the water again and disappeared.
Seeing this scene, the representatives of Denmark and other countries were all extremely excited, and some even clenched their fists and roared in a low voice.
The netizens all over the world also cheered:
“We got it! We finally got it!”
“The Spiritual Fruit is in hand! Praise God!”
“Celebrate for the Frogman! Celebrate for the Baltic! Celebrate for humanity!”
“Although the ferocious beasts are strong, they are ultimately inferior to our human wisdom!”
“This is a great victory worth remembering! It is our white people who first picked the Spiritual Fruit after landing on the island! Breaking the record of zero!”
……
However, the festive atmosphere in the Live Stream Room did not last long, and then it took a sharp turn.
The Six-Clawed Black Serpent , which sensed that the Spiritual Fruit had been snatched, was instantly furious.
It suddenly opened its mouth, and a dark blue color was sprayed out of its mouth. In the blink of an eye, half of the lake was completely frozen.
Then, it patted the frozen lake surface with its right front claw, and the next second, a large mass of ice cubes was immediately shaken out of the lake.
In the ice cubes, the Frogman, who were maintaining a diving posture, and the Demon King Fruit, which was guarded by the Frogman in the middle, could be vaguely seen.
The Six-Clawed Black Serpent opened its mouth wide and swallowed the entire ice cube on the spot.
In the sound of crunching, blood was sprinkled, and its aura changed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and its six claws quickly turned golden.
The Six-Clawed Black Serpent let out a roar that shook the sky, and suddenly rushed to the side of the mountain wall, and in the blink of an eye, it turned over the mountains and disappeared.
At the same time, the Blue Jade Eel, who witnessed the Demon King Fruit being swallowed by the Six-Clawed Black Serpent , was instantly furious to the extreme.
Facing the Exploration Team, which was still constantly attacking it, it suddenly flashed blue electric light all over its body, and the amazing Thunderstorm spread forward, and in the blink of an eye, the Jungle, which had been constantly spitting fire, fell silent and turned black.
The Light screen suddenly disappeared.
The representatives of Denmark and other Various countries stood there blankly, looking stunned and full of disbelief.
“Spiritual Fruit…”
“Our Spiritual Fruit…”
The Swiss representative almost burst into tears on the spot.
The French representative, the British representative, and others all went over to comfort them, and their mouths were almost unable to hold back.
“It’s okay, we also lost a Spiritual Flower.”
“Yes, everyone has no harvest, so don’t worry about it.”
“Continue to work hard to explore, and maybe you can find a new Spiritual Fruit!”
……
Facing the failure of the Baltic, netizens all over the world couldn’t help but sigh.
So far, no human Exploration Team has successfully picked any Spiritual Medicine from the island.
The only one who created the record of picking was that guy.
But even he, I’m afraid it’s hard to snatch that Spiritual Fruit, right?
After all, those ferocious beasts are not ordinary ferocious beasts.
Which ferocious beast is freezing and splitting lightning?
This is simply a mythical creature!
While the netizens were thinking, their eyes couldn’t help but focus on the only remaining Light screen.
Then they saw Qi Xuan sneaking near the Spiritual Fruit like a thief.
Just as the Spiritual Fruit matured, the two giant beasts had just interrupted their attacks and turned around to snatch it. Qi Xuan , relying on the closer distance, suddenly rushed forward, grabbed the Spiritual Fruit, and without stopping, quickly ran into the forest.
The Demon King Fruit was snatched away in front of them. Both the Six-Clawed Black Serpent and the Spiked Demon-Patterned Crocodile were all in a state of rage.
The two giant beasts immediately chased after them.
The Spiked Demon-Patterned Crocodile was relatively large in size, and was blocked by many trees, and its speed immediately dropped sharply.
Seeing the Six-Clawed Black Serpent chasing Qi Xuan , it was unwilling, and snorted heavily. The next second, countless spikes on its back aimed at the direction of the one person and one snake, and suddenly burst out.
The sharp thorns instantly pierced through the trees, like a rain of arrows, and rushed towards them.
The Six-Clawed Black Serpent immediately released a Freeze Breath, freezing a large area of the incoming thorns on the spot, but several still landed on its body, nailing it and causing a painful roar.
On the contrary, Qi Xuan , because of his small size, and with the large Six-Clawed Black Serpent as a cover, and with the reminder of the Spiritual Sense, calmly avoided the sharp thorns that were rushing towards him.
Even after dodging, taking advantage of the Six-Clawed Black Serpent’s pain, he hurriedly fled forward again.
The Six-Clawed Black Serpent couldn’t care about revenge and quickly chased after Qi Xuan .
Running all the way, Qi Xuan still couldn’t get rid of the Six-Clawed Black Serpent , and was even chased closer and closer by it.
After all, it was Second Rank Peak, and its Realm was much higher than his. If it weren’t for the fact that his Physique had been greatly strengthened with Silver Steel Grass, he would have been caught long ago.
Just as Qi Xuan was hesitating whether to throw away the Demon King Fruit, a small mountain suddenly appeared in front of him.
Seeing the small mountain, his eyes suddenly lit up, and without saying a word, he activated the Mountain-Piercing Talisman, and with a flash, he disappeared into the mountain wall.
On the contrary, the Six-Clawed Black Serpent , which was chasing closely, couldn’t stop in time and slammed into the small mountain, instantly shattering countless rocks, and almost buried itself completely.
It raised its head, not caring about the single horn on its head that was almost broken, and looked around urgently, but it still couldn’t find the Aura of the Demon King Fruit.
After confirming that the Demon King Fruit was lost, the Six-Clawed Black Serpent suddenly let out a roar of impotent rage.
