The Divine Dao Alchemy Emperor
Chapter 49
Everyone proceeded to do the assigned task – Liu Dong and his group went to hunt the Bright Wool Sheep while Ling Han took out various medicinal ingredients, preparing to concoct certain medicines.
It was only an Alchemy Emperor like Ling Han who could handle medicinal ingredients well enough to be able to create a medicine that was specifically targeted towards certain creatures. The medicine he made now could be considered harmless to other living beings, but only to the Red Scale Dragon Snake.
In many situations, alchemists were also poison masters. For example, the Little Poison Master, Yu Zheng. However, his abilities were far, far below Ling Han's.
Although the Bright Wool Sheep was not a powerful demonic beast, its flesh was extremely delicious. It was not only the favorite prey of many other demonic beasts, it was also considered a delicacy for humans. As a result, their population in the area reduced – is not an easy thing to find.
After three full days passed, Liu Dong and his group finally returned. Chen Peng Ju carried a creature that looked like a mountain goat on his back. It had a pretty wool coat that looked like the best brocade.
They finally caught the Bright Wool Sheep.
Ling Han fed the medicine he had made to the Bright Wool Sheep before making a cut on one of his legs. He then threw it into the lair of the Red Scaled Dragon Snake.
. . . The sense of smell of the big snake was quite strong. The smell of blood would definitely wake her up from her deep sleep, and since Bright Wool Sheep was her favorite food, it was her favorite, he will not be able to refrain from going out to enjoy another great meal even if it is full .
Why should they use live prey? That was because every Red Scale Dragon Snake was extremely careful. Unless its prey was something that had killed itself, it would definitely not eat it.
After Ling Han came out of the cave, he retreated with the others some distance away; they hid behind a large rock nearby so that the huge snake would not find their existence once it came out of the cave.
Not too long later, they felt the ground tremble beneath them, as if there was a raging giant beast nearby.
It was a red scaly dragon snake.
"Penet!"
A red-colored giant snake waved out from the entrance of the cave as if it was an arrow shot from a bow. Its diameter was larger than a bucket, and it was also very long. Anything they could see from his body was already close to 100 meters, yet there was still no sign of the tip of his tail.
There were two fine membranes protruding from the neck of the huge snake. Currently, the two membranes were vibrating, producing a strange "wu wu wu" sound.
Finally, the entire body of the huge snake came out. Its total length was about two hundred meters and its entire body was covered with red scales. Each scale is about the size of the bowl cap. It seemed to have gone crazy and was constantly clogging in all directions. Its long tail was like a whip, crushing many of the surrounding stones as it rampaged.
"Why hasn't the creature died from the poison?" Liu Dong and his group gasped in shock. They really can't understand it.
"Duh! It was a demonic beast at the ninth layer of the Element Collection Level! Moreover, he had inherited the slightest dragon bloodline, and had been recognized as the ruler amongst the demon beasts of the Tier! How could he die so easily!" Ling Han said, shaking his head. If it was that simple to kill him, he would not have to wait until he reached the peak period of the first layer of the Element Gathering Tier to come here.
"Oh, no, it's been watching us!"
The huge snake had an extremely strong sense of smell, so even if Ling Han and the others hid themselves somewhere under that wind, the snake still discovered their existence. It immediately weaved the giant's body and charged towards them.
"Si!" The large snake's tongue flickered, and the two membranes on the sides of its neck trembled, producing a strange sound. The stench is smelling above.
"Yu Tong, let's join forces, we have to hold him down!" Ling Han was not afraid at all. He simply drew his sword and threw himself forward.
Liu Yu Tong did not respond. He simply followed Ling Han closely, and for the first time, pulled his weapon of choice.
He is also a sword user.
Theoretically, Liu Yu Tong had also reached the ninth layer of the Element Gathering Tier, so he should not be at a disadvantage in terms of strength when facing this huge snake. However, the Red Scaled Dragon Snake possessed a strand of dragon bloodline, so whether in terms of strength or defense, it was still stronger than the others in the ninth layer of the Element Gathering Tier. Even Liu Yu Tong was not qualified to fight head-on.
It was the ruler of this cultivation level, and only other level masters had the ability to fight one on one!
Ling Han possessed the Five Element Origin Nuclei and his strength was almost the same as that of the same cultivation level, so he did indeed have the right to name 'ruler'. The problem was that his current cultivation level was still too low!
Even if the two of them worked together, they were still forced to jump and dodge in all directions, proving the immense power that this snake possessed.
"Patience, it's been poisoned, so it can't last much longer. But we definitely can't let him run," Ling Han said.
"Ein!" Liu Yu Tong nodded.
Ling Han used all of his abilities, and each wave of his sword would form four flashes of Sword Qi. "Pu, pu, pu, pu," four wounds appeared on the body of the Red Scaled Dragon Snake. On the other hand, his actual sword did not even manage to pierce through the scales of the huge snake.
This was the power of Sword Qi, and this was also why it was something that would be highly respected by any respectable swordsman. And when they saw the four flashes of Ling Han's Sword Qi just displayed, Liu Dong and his group were completely stunned, their mouths agape; they were completely speechless.
However, the backlash of the huge snake was also extremely fast and ferocious. His tail whipped and shattered stones shot out a terrifying force, causing bloody spots to continuously appear on Ling Han's body.
Ling Han did not even make a sound of pain at this moment. Instead, he began to stimulate the Blood Lone Wolf within his body.
"Weng," the Five Elements Origin Nuclei within his Dantian began to spin at an even greater speed, causing his strength to increase. At the same time, the circulation of the Unbreakable Heaven Scroll allowed his wounds to begin to recover at an extremely fast speed.
The circulation of these two different techniques, along with the fierce battle he was having now, caused the Origin Power in Ling Han's body to be consumed at an extremely fast speed.
For others who were fighting at his full strength, he might be able to last for about half an hour, but for Ling Han, ten minutes was already his limit.
But, he had long anticipated this situation and prepared a large number of intermediate-tier Origin Return Pills for himself. If he started to feel that his Origin Power was flowing out, he would take one of the pills; there should be no problem for him to continue fighting for around twenty minutes with his current pill supply.
They had to restrain the big snake by all means. . .
. . . because he had concocted the medicine to "target" the red-scaled dragon snake. The snake had Yin properties, so he had set up a large store of medicinal ingredients that had Yang properties or had fire alignment, causing the Yin and Yang within the snake body to conflict, damaging the life force of the Red Scale Dragon Snake. But it is also very easy to cure this poison. As long as he dived into the river, using the water to extinguish the blazing flames within his body, he would be able to fully recover after three or four days just by resting.
Under the influence of his instincts, the Red Scaled Dragon Snake would definitely go looking for water, so they had to stop him here at all costs. If not for this, Ling Han would have the entire group hide in a further place and wait for the Red Scale Dragon Snake to die before returning to collect their rewards.
After the battle lasted for a while, the initial anger of the huge snake passed and instead became restless. It felt like hell was raging within his body, causing him to feel the pressure of death approaching. It no longer attacked ferociously but its head instead turned around, intending to flee.
"Where do you think you're going!" Ling Han quickly waved his sword in a slash. He had entered the Seven Wind Mountains first for the Earth Dragon Grass, and second, for the inner core of this huge snake so that he could concoct the Pill KB Transcending Origin. If he wanted to increase his cultivation level in a short period of time, he would have to rely on the external support of these medicinal pills.
"Pa," the huge snake waved its tail, creating a terrifying shockwave. Although his tail did not directly hit Ling Han, the resulting shockwave caused Ling Han to fly backwards.
The ninth layer of the Element Gathering Tier is indeed powerful!
Ling Han was sad. The higher the cultivation level, the harder it is to miss the cultivation level when challenging someone. The Element Gathering Tier was still fine, but once he reached the Gushing Spring Tier, even a difference of one layer would become an immeasurable abyss. If he, with the cultivation level of the first layer of the Gushing Spring Tier, fought against an opponent in the ninth layer of the Gushing Spring Tier, he would instantly be obliterated in one move. There was no way he could extend the battle even longer.
Liu Yu Tong produced a light whistle as his long sword waved freely like rain, and a high-level Yellow Class sword art opened. His attack was like rain, and effectively fended off the Red Scaled Dragon Snake's attack.
