Talisman Emperor
Chapter 34 – Icetail Bee
Every three years, the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain would appear in the Southern Barbaric Forbidden Territory.
If one wanted to find the entrance to the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain, then one would have to traverse through the vast forest where ferocious beasts roamed and enter the forbidden area. There was even a high chance that one would encounter a larger demon that remained inside, so it could be said that killing intent was hidden in every corner and it was extremely dangerous.
Now, along with the appearance of the impending Southern Barbaric Nether Domain, the pedestrian traffic on the bustling streets of Pine Mist City was clearly several times busier than before, and they huddled and frenzied like waves that seemed to be very crowded.
"Laurel City, Jade Town, Sandrop City .. It seems that cultivators from all the cities in the southern region have appeared. The Southern Barbaric Nether Domain trial this time was just an unprecedented major event! ”
"Well, who said it, didn't they? I wonder what the General Garden is thinking, it is actually secretly giving approval to cultivators from outside the city to be able to participate. Not to mention anything else, but solely for the sake of fighting for such a precious pearl, the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain trial this time around would not be peaceful at all. ”
"That's right . But I hear people say that most people don't seem to come solely for the sake of a very bad pearl. They seemed to want to search for some sort of immortal sword dwelling within the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain. I wonder if it's true or not? "
"The immortal sword stays? Pfft! Stop joking! The spirit energy in the Southern Nether Barbaric Nether Domain was depleted and extremely severe in the waves. Which immortal sword would be so bored as to build his residence there? ”
…
Along the way, various discussions filled the streets, very similar to the strange atmosphere when a storm was brewing.
"The Southern Barbaric Nether Domain will appear tomorrow, and the entrance will only be open for six hours. So, we should be rushing there all night. ”
Du Qingxi took out a jade map as they walked in front of the Southern Barbaric Mountain Range, then she looked for a while before saying with a serious expression, “Everything, be careful. Demonic beasts roamed within the Southern Barbaric Mountains at night and it was extremely dangerous. Don't let your guard down. ”
"Don't worry, Qingxi. Even if we meet the larger Demon Palace Violet Kingdom, the strength of the three of us will be enough to kill him. "Muanmu Ze lightly smiled as he spoke in a relaxed tone as if he was talking about a very simple matter.
Kill a demon bigger than the Violet Kingdom Palace?
Chen Xi's heart trembled, since this fellow dared to speak so highly, his strength would have already advanced to the Violet Palace Realm, and Du Qingxi and Song Lin would probably not be any different.
But, weren't Violet Palace Realm cultivators unable to enter the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain? Perhaps, they had a method to enter in their possession …
This question was related to a certain secret and Chen Xi was not familiar with the three of them. So, it was not good for him to ask further and he could only hide it in his heart.
Darkness enveloped the sky and scattered stars were strewn across the sky.
Looking down from the sky, countless human streams were like rows upon rows of ants as they flowed towards the Southern Barbaric Mountains, and his rough estimation placed them on no less than 10,000 people.
"Eh, I don't see things right? Duanmu Ze who was famous as a genius figure in the younger generation of Dragon Lake City also came? ”
“You are not wrong, that person must be Duanmu Ze. He should already have had cultivation at the 4th star Violet Palace Realm, and he might be the next successor of the Duanmu Clan. ”
"Wow! So he is the Duanmu Ze from my dream. Sure enough, he was as handsome and outstanding as the rumors said, too handsome! "
…
Just when Chen Xi's four-man group was intending to enter the mountain, someone nearby recognized Duanmu Ze and it instantly caused a shock wave of praise and exclamation marks.
Duanmu Ze's handsome face revealed a slight smile with a hint of complacency. He had been used to seeing such scenes in Dragon Lake City for a long time, so he did not think about it and smiled at Du Qingxi who was beside him. “I never expected to be recognized so quickly, these people really have nothing better to do. ”
"Since they have nothing better to do, then let's leave quickly," Du Qingxi said with her regular expression that was extremely cold like snow, it was as if everything around him was unable to arouse his interest.
Duanmu Ze was stunned, then he shook his head and smiled, yet in his heart he was secretly furious. This little Du Clan girl is too difficult to catch, could it be that she should encourage me to use force?
He had chased away Du Qingxi all along, but Du Qingxi's disposition was too cold, and she had tried many different methods which all ended in failure.
For a disciple from a famous clan like him, he could obtain many beautiful women if he wanted to, but in Duanmu Ze's eyes, those women were all just ordinary women. In the entire Dragon Lake City, only a few people were worthy of him, and Du Qingxi who was born from the Du Clan was undoubtedly one of them.
Du Qingxi's appearance was exquisite and she was extremely intelligent. Most importantly, she was the only daughter of the Patriarch of the Du Clan. If he married her, then not only would he obtain beauty, but he would also be able to gain the support of the Du Clan, and for Duanmu Ze, this was the result he wanted the most.
Since being the son-in-law of the Du Clan was equivalent to gaining the support of the entire Du Clan, and relying on this help, Duanmu Ze had full confidence in being able to climb the position of Patriarch of the Duanmu Clan.
Thus, even though he received a blow from Du Qingxi's cold demeanor right now, Duanmu Ze would absolutely not expend his mind to chase after Du Qingxi because of this.
But he was still a bit displeased in his heart, especially since Chen Xi was watching nearby.
This kid probably laughed to himself that I considered myself too tall, right?
Duanmu Ze glanced at Chen Xi but noticed that this person was in a daze, with a dreamy appearance, and actually gave Duanmu Ze a chance to find fault with him. For a moment, Duanmu Ze gritted his teeth with hatred and thought inwardly, After we enter the mountain forest, I will look for opportunities to deal with you, lowly servant!
The night became increasingly dark, like black ink enveloping the entire Southern Barbaric Mountains. Waves of terrifying ferocious beast roars sounded from afar, adding an aura of carnage that caused one's heart to pound.
When faced with this scene, even Song Lin whose eyes were sound asleep could not help but open, and her gaze shone with an unusual brightness.
When faced with this kind of insulting and threatening provocation, Chen Xi chose to directly ignore it.
A barrier?
At that time, I wondered who would be the barrier.
When he recalled the scene of him hunting ferocious and cunning ferocious beasts every night for the past three months, Chen Xi was instead filled with pity for Duanmu Ze. So what if you are a Violet Palace Realm cultivator? Those demonic beasts were not weak, and they were all evil and ruthless with various methods of attack …
After they entered the mountain, Duanmu Ze led the group to show his gentleness. His white clothes fluttered as he walked forward with a sword in his grasp, and coupled with his handsome and refined smile, he was actually able to arouse admiration in most girls.
Du Qingxi did not mind that, Song Lin had always been sleepy and tired of following behind the group, and it was unlikely that Chen Xi would snatch the limelight from this attention looking for Young Master.
So, all this time, Duanmu Ze seemed to think of himself as the main character of the group. Chen Xi had advised him to change paths a few times but was firmly rejected by him, according to the way he said it. "Even if there was no path, sword cultivators would still have to use the sword in their hands to carve a path, and taking a detour was not the way a sword cultivator did things …"
Chen Xi did not say anything more, because since one wanted to suffer misfortune, then no one could stop that person.
After which, somewhere in the luxurious forest with flowers and trees, a swarm of Icetail Ports surged as Chen Xi had expected.
As a 4-star Violet Palace Realm sword builder, Duanmu Ze was naturally unafraid of these little things, and he immediately unsheathed his sword. As the sword lights splashed out, the swift and ferocious sword qi looked as if it was fired from a bow, and in the blink of an eye, over 100 Icetail Bees were instantly annihilated.
“So it's a bunch of little bees, really disappointing opponents. "Muanmu Ze had a satisfied expression as he sighed with emotion. At the moment when he intended to put away his sword, his expression suddenly froze and his eyes revealed a feeling of astonishment.
Many red and swollen bumps appeared on the skin of his face and hands, and his handsome face even became like the head of a roasted pig. It was so horrible that people couldn't see it.
"Aah!" Duanmu Ze let out a miserable shrill cry, as the severe itching on his hard-to-bear skin caused him to be unable to take care of his pads, and his hands violently scratched his face.
"What's going on?" Du Qingxi was shocked inwardly, and she was very confused in her heart when she saw Duanmu Ze scratching his Gate in an unsightly manner.
"Oh, Brother Duanmu, did you use monkey fists?" Song Lin opened her sleepy eyes and muttered, "I remember that you hate monkey fists the most. You say that the posture is too ugly and that affects aesthetics and cushioning. ”
“Although he killed the Icetail Bee, his face and hands were stung by the sting of the Icetail Bee. That's why it's so itchy and unbearable. '' Chen Xi frowned as she spoke, yet in her heart, she was instead very happy.
This Icetail bee is about the size of a thumb and is completely black. Their stings are fine like cow hair and crystal clear. When a stinger falls onto one's skin, it is like ice joining into water and impossible to keep. In addition, the poison will directly attack the blood and cause red swelling that feels itchy and unbearable appear on the skin.
"Since you know, then why didn't you say it before?" Du Qingxi coldly glanced over and spoke with a slight blaming tone.
"I advised him, but he said that as a sword cultivator, he should use the sword in his hand …"
Not waiting for Chen Xi to finish, the distant Duanmu Ze who was scratching his Gate suddenly roared. "Son, shut up!"
"Let's go, I'm fine. “Mu Ze breathed heavily for a while, then firmly endured the itchiness in his body as he stood up, and his body trembled as he walked forward.
“Okay, Brother Duanmu cares a lot about the most important things. In Dragon Lake City, Brother Duanmu would undoubtedly be number one in terms of giving birth. Now that her appearance had become like this, she must have felt bad in her heart, right? "Song Lin lazily sighed, and his gaze consciously or unconsciously glanced at Chen Xi, then his eyes drooped as he once again fell into a drowsy state.
"Oh, if I had known earlier that he was so afraid of itching, I should have advised him once more, and none of this would have happened," Chen Xi said with an innocent expression.
When this entered Duanmu Ze's ears, it caused the evil flames in his heart to increase explosively. Especially when he thought of his unsightly demeanor fully entering Du Qingxi's eyes, he was angry until he spat out a mouthful of blood, and he roared in his heart. Motherfucker! This guy must have done it on purpose! He did not warn me well but deliberately gave a sarcastic comment now! Just wait! I will definitely teach you a lesson!
"Young Master Duanmu, there are still some demonic beasts that cannot be considered formidable up front, should we take a detour?" Chen Xi looked as if she was moved by conscience and asked with concern.
Duanmu Ze's body froze, then he replied ferociously, "Thank you, but there's no need!"
As he spoke, it seemed for the sake of venting the anger in his heart, Duanmu Ze quickened his pace. The sword in his hand was unceasingly waving, and the vines and grass blocking his path instantly turned into ashes.
"You seem to be very familiar with this place?" Du Qingxi frowned as she asked.
Chen Xi nodded. “I previously came here for a period of time. ”
"Why don't you lead?" Du Qingxi asked carefully.
Chen Xi looked away at Duanmu Ze and did not say anything, but what she meant was completely revealed.
“You lead after this. '' Du Qingxi said in an indisputable tone.
"okay!" Chen Xi nodded.
AH ~
Right at this moment, Duanmu Ze's sad and shrill scream was once again heard from a distance, and his voice revealed boundless anger and terror, seeming to have faced some sort of frightening thing.
