Chapter 2081: Blood Tooth Rice

"I think Fellow Daoist didn't take it to heart. However, these three great demon harms are indeed not trivial. Fellow Daoist, if you want to cross the entire desert in the future, it's better not to underestimate them too much. The three great demon harms are the Soul-Falling Wind, the Earth-Annihilating Sand, and the Illusion Howl Demon Wolf. I think Fellow Daoist should be very clear about this. But the danger levels of these three are completely different. Among them, adult Illusion Howl Demon Wolves only have Spirit Severing cultivation, but they generally act in groups. Even the smallest wolf pack will have seven or eight adult demon wolves. Once encountered, even if you can barely kill them, you will be severely injured. However, this harm poses no threat to Fellow Daoist. Because although the Illusion Howl Demon Wolves move like the wind in the desert, compared to the Eight-Legged Demon Lizard, their speed is still slower. As long as you can discover them in advance, you can easily shake them off. Of course, if Fellow Han didn't have a demon lizard as a mount, it would be another story. As for the Earth-Annihilating Sand, it is the second most dangerous harm in the Illusion Howl Desert after the Soul-Falling Wind..."

The yellow-haired burly man began to explain eloquently.

Although Han Li had already understood some of what the burly man said, he still listened attentively with a smile on his face.

Half a month later, Han Li, who was resting with his eyes closed on the demon lizard, moved his eyes and opened them. His gaze pierced through the gloomy wind and sand, and he vaguely saw a touch of green in a place over ten miles away.

And the next moment, the purple-haired woman's pleasant voice rang out ahead.

"Fellow daoists! Ahead is the Silver River Oasis. There is a small stronghold of our Bai clan there. We can rest and prepare there first before going to drive away that demon beast. That mineral vein is only half a day's journey from the oasis."

"Great, this Heavenly Monarch has been stuck on the demon beast for a whole month, and I'm truly tired of it. When we get there, I must have a good rest and eat a big meal. Brother Bai, the things you promised beforehand should also be taken out there." Luan Long Heavenly Monarch heard this, patted his round belly, and said with bright eyes.

"Haha, Brother Luan Long, rest assured. I know your demon arts are special and you must eat that thing to bring your demon arts into full play. When we get to the oasis, I will naturally offer that thing to you with both hands immediately." The purple-haired woman didn't have time to answer, but the yellow-haired burly man laughed and agreed.

"That's good. After consuming that thing, my magic power can temporarily increase by 30%, and I can have one more point of confidence in driving away that demon beast. However, the taste of that thing is truly delicious, rare in the world. I only ate it once years ago, and I still can't forget it." Luan Long Heavenly Monarch nodded with satisfaction.

"This is natural. Our Bai clan also spent a lot of effort to get that little bit." The purple-haired woman smiled and echoed.

Han Li heard this conversation from the side and felt somewhat surprised, but after his heart stirred a few times, he didn't take it to heart.

After a short while, the group arrived at the small oasis on the galloping demon lizards.

When Han Li and the others just entered the oasis, the various wind and sand that had been rushing toward them stopped abruptly, as if they had been isolated by an invisible force.

This entire oasis was only a few miles in size, covered with low shrubs of different sizes at the edges, but in the center, there was a black-green small lake half a mile in diameter. On one side of the lake, there was a piece of gray architecture built, all condensed from sand and soil, but it was exceptionally hard.

These buildings covered only a few acres, but there were strange fluctuations emanating from all around, seeming to be protected by some extraordinary restrictions.

Han Li swept his gaze over the small lake and finally stopped at the group of buildings.

These buildings were all inverted semi-circular shapes, no more than three or four feet high, and were significantly lower compared to ordinary buildings.

At this time, the yellow-haired burly man jumped off the demon lizard first, raised his hand to put the demon beast into the spirit beast ring, then frowned and looked at the buildings in the distance, suddenly emitting a long whistle like a dragon's roar.

The whistle rushed straight into the sky, as if rolling thunder in the low sky, but after a good while, there was still no reaction from the buildings, and no one came out.

This made the yellow-haired burly man's face sink, and he raised one hand, making a strange gesture to the people behind him.

Suddenly, the six Bai clan disciples, including Bai Yunxin, also jumped off the demon lizards and walked cautiously toward those buildings.

When they came into contact with those buildings, Bai Yunxin took out a pitch-black iron plate and shook it at the void in front.

Suddenly, a layer of black energy rolled out from the ground, drowning their figures, and then no sound came out.

The purple-haired woman and Luan Long Heavenly Monarch saw this, and their gazes became a few points more solemn.

Only Han Li looked at all this quietly, without any abnormality in his expression.

But no one noticed that blue light flickered incessantly in the depths of his pupils, piercing through the black fog and seeing the situation inside clearly.

Now, Han Li's Clear Spirit Eyes had been tempered by him for over a thousand years and already possessed some incredible supernatural powers. Piercing through the cover of these mere restrictions was just a trivial matter!

After a cup of tea's time, the black energy that had been emanating from around the buildings suddenly vanished. The figures of Bai Yunxin and the others appeared again in front of these buildings. This woman bowed deeply to the yellow-haired burly man not far away and reported:

"Reporting to the ancestor, the stronghold restrictions are intact, but the original disciples left behind are nowhere to be seen."

"Nowhere to be seen! This is the only oasis nearby; where could they have run to?" The yellow-haired burly man's face sank upon hearing this, and he said coldly.

"This... this junior truly doesn't know, and I didn't find any traces of fighting left in the stronghold!" Bai Yunxin replied with some panic.

The yellow-haired burly man's face turned fierce, and he was about to say something, but Han Li suddenly smiled and spoke:

"Fellow Daoist Bai! Regardless, let's go in first. This is not a place for detailed discussion!"

"That's true, it was my negligence. Fellow daoists, let's go in together!" The burly man was stunned, but immediately remembered something, his expression softened, and he said.

"Then this Heavenly Monarch will not be polite, I will take a step first!" Luan Long Heavenly Monarch laughed, moved his body, and disappeared from the demon lizard without knowing how, appearing behind Bai Yunxin and the other disciples in a flash, and walked toward the largest building swaggeringly.

Seeing this, the yellow-haired burly man laughed dumbfoundedly, then greeted Han Li and the others to jump off the demon lizards and walk into the group of buildings.

After a short while, all the Body Integration existences appeared in a hall about ten feet in size, while Bai Yunxin and the other disciples were ordered by the burly man to stand guard outside the door.

"I just swept this area with my spiritual sense. It is indeed as Xin'er said; there are no traces of fighting here, and the restrictions and magic arrays outside are also intact. Clearly, these disciples left this place on their own." The purple-haired woman sat on a meditation cushion, frowning and saying.

"According to our orders, these disciples must take turns monitoring the demon beast's movements. Could it be that they were all swallowed by that demon beast? But that's not right either. Even if that demon beast went on a rampage, there should have been someone left behind here." The yellow-haired burly man shook his head, also appearing somewhat puzzled.

"Forget it, regardless of how these Bai clan disciples disappeared. But they are just some low-level disciples, so why take them to heart? Just take out that thing and let me have a good meal before we talk." Luan Long Heavenly Monarch blinked his small eyes and said impatiently to the yellow-haired burly man.

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Luan Long, don't be anxious. Since our brother and sister promised you beforehand, we will naturally not go back on our word. Fifth Sister, take that thing out and give it to Brother Luan Long." Seeing Luan Long Heavenly Monarch's eager look, the yellow-haired burly man immediately laughed and agreed.

The purple-haired woman showed a hint of charm, shook her wrist, and a stream of white light sprayed out from her storage bracelet. A translucent jade box appeared on the table in front of her.

Luan Long Heavenly Monarch was overjoyed, grabbed the jade box from the table with his fat hand, and opened the lid with a "whoosh."

Han Li and Han Qizi's gazes naturally swept into it at the same time. As a result, Han Li's pupils shrank, and even Han Qizi let out a light "eh" of surprise.

Inside the jade box lay a rice-like fruit. However, this rice was half a foot long, with one end thick like a baby's arm and the other end sharp. It was blood-red and faintly emitted a strange fragrance, making one's mouth water just by smelling it.

"This is Blood Tooth Rice!" Han Li stared at the rice, muttering in shock, but seemed somewhat uncertain.

"Unexpectedly, Fellow Han is so knowledgeable that you can recognize this rare treasure. This is indeed a rare thousand-year Blood Tooth Rice. Consuming this rice can not only increase essence and blood and improve the physical body, but for someone like Fellow Daoist Luan Long who practices blood-series demon arts, it can stimulate essence and blood potential, allowing magic power to temporarily surge by 20-30%. This is also one of the rewards the Bai clan promised Fellow Daoist Luan Long. However, the taste of Blood Tooth Rice is even more delicious, rare in the world. As long as you eat one bite, the fragrance can remain in your teeth for months."

"I also seem to have heard of this thing, but this is the first time I've seen such a strange treasure. Tsk tsk, I heard that this Blood Tooth Rice is not only extremely harsh to grow, but must be continuously irrigated with the essence blood of some special strange beasts to grow and bear fruit. And it seems that even the lowest-quality Blood Tooth Rice must be grown for a hundred years before it can be eaten. Brother Bai can actually get such a thousand-year Blood Tooth Rice, which truly opened my eyes." Han Li said slowly with a complex expression.

This Blood Tooth Rice was a specialty of the Demon Realm, but it was extremely rare even in the Demon Realm. It was also one of the few things Han Li had been keeping an eye on and planned to get during his trip to the Demon Realm.

Because this thing was one of the few things he knew of that could still have some effect on his physical body.
