Chapter 888: Giant Bat
There were only two truths for the feeling the other party gave him. Net
Either it was a mistake in his spiritual sense just now, or it was a cultivator whose spiritual sense far exceeded his own, and it was very likely that outsider.
But no matter which result was revealed, it didn't seem too good for him.
The former was still fine; at most, he would lose some face in front of two juniors and his reputation would suffer. If it were the latter, the trouble would truly be huge.
Don't look at how he acted in front of the middle-aged man and the woman in palace attire, as if he could easily capture the seriously injured outsider. In reality, as one of the cultivators who participated in the interception battle, he felt great fear toward the outsider's divine abilities and that ferocious ferocity of fighting many alone.
He clearly remembered the miserable end of those few fallen cultivators, whose entire bodies were turned into purple ice, with even their Nascent Souls frozen. Even if the other party was seriously injured, dragging him down to perish together would probably be an easy task.
Forget it, there were no other Nascent Soul cultivators nearby. It was better not to risk verifying such a vague and life-threatening guess. Anyway, the Great Immortal Master and the Holy Maiden would personally deal with this person soon.
After weighing the pros and cons in his heart, the bald-browed old man sighed lightly and dismissed the idea of chasing after the carriage to stop the other party.
If he were two hundred years younger, he might have really wanted to take the risk. But now that his time was running out, he cherished his life even more.
The bald-browed old man watched the caravan gradually move away, standing motionless on the spot. This made the man and woman behind him look at each other in surprise. But they didn't have the courage to ask.
After Han Li's carriage had traveled more than ten miles, he still didn't see the owner of that spiritual sense from the station following, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
That spiritual sense had searched extremely quickly just now. Although his reaction was fast enough, he was ultimately not quite used to the state of his cultivation base dropping sharply. It seemed he had restrained his spiritual sense a bit late, and he didn't know if he had truly deceived the other party. And that spiritual sense was so subtle and secretive; it was clear that they had cultivated a special secret technique related to it.
Feeling slightly more at ease, he continued to restrain his aura and breath in the carriage without daring to be careless.
After walking for most of the day, Han Li's expression softened, and he began to slowly release his spiritual sense again, automatically covering all abnormalities within a radius of twenty miles. He flipped his hand, took out the eagle-eyed old man's storage bag from his bosom, turned the bag upside down, and poured out a pile of miscellaneous items in a flash of white light.
After scanning the pile of items, Han Li reached out and picked up a small bottle, opened the cap, and sniffed it under his nose. After a moment of thought, he shook his head and moved it aside.
He picked up another bottle and performed the same action, as if he were looking for something.
Finally, when an inconspicuous green jade bottle was opened, before Han Li could identify what was inside, a wisp of purple mist flew out. Han Li's expression sank, and without thinking, he opened his mouth and spat out a green light cluster, which immediately wrapped the purple mist inside.
But in an instant, the green light began to turn black and spread from the inside out.
Han Li's expression changed drastically. Taking advantage of the moment before the green light was completely contaminated, he blew a fierce breath, and the light cluster shot into the small bottle instantly. Han Li picked up the bottle cap and sealed the bottle mouth quickly.
Only then did he let out a long breath.
At least he hadn't worked in vain; obtaining some residual Bitter Poison was also a harvest that was not small. The Ten Absolute Poisons were basically items that could be sought but not found.
And the fact that the Kong family could have this poison showed that they were truly extraordinary.
After carefully putting this bottle into his storage bag, his heart stirred, and he extended a wisp of spiritual sense into one of the Fire Wolf tribe's carriages.
Inside, Feng Yue was holding a fist-sized round bead with both hands, sitting cross-legged in meditation with his eyes tightly closed.
Wisps of black qi were being poured from his hands into the round bead, making the bead pitch-black and shiny. In front of him was a large pile of medicine bottles, most of which had already been opened, and various colored medicinal pills were scattered messily to one side.
Seeing this scene, Han Li shook his head and withdrew his spiritual sense.
He could see at a glance that although the round bead was some kind of exotic treasure that could absorb some poison gas, it had already reached its capacity limit. Moreover, this absorbed poison gas would probably regenerate in a while, and it would have no effect on the Bitter Poison that had penetrated deep into his body.
Feng Yue's attempt to use these ten days to remove this poison was simply wishful thinking.
Han Li thought this to himself, then closed his eyes without joy or sorrow, and entered a state of meditation.
The next seven or eight days were relatively peaceful. Only two blind low-level Iron-Hoof Beasts bumped into the caravan. As a result, they were bombarded by several magic tools from the Tuwu Immortal Masters who were happy to see them, and naturally became spoils of war.
Only Han Li and Feng Yue, as well as another Tuwu Immortal Master who was escorting the team, stayed in the carriage without making a move.
Feng Yue was one thing. That other cultivator who also didn't like to go out aroused Han Li's interest. As a result, after a slight probe with his spiritual sense, he didn't find any abnormalities. It was a twenty-seven or twenty-eight-year-old young man who cultivated all day, as if he were just a more diligent Foundation Establishment cultivator.
After probing a few times, Han Li lost interest.
On the contrary, Feng Yue, whom he was constantly paying attention to, became impatient and uneasy after trying a series of detoxification methods in vain, and looks of despair appeared on his face from time to time.
His original black hair gradually turned gray and white.
This was understandable; for anyone who knew their death was approaching and was helpless to do anything about it, just this torment was not something an ordinary person could bear.
The fact that the young man hadn't collapsed immediately made Han Li somewhat surprised.
However, in his heart, he was silently calculating the days.
This only direct bloodline of the Feng family had only two or three days left to live.
Han Li himself had already finished comprehending the formula given by Great Expansion Divine Lord two days ago, and he felt much more at ease. Now, even if his identity were exposed and Nascent Soul cultivators suddenly attacked and besieged him, he wouldn't need to be overly afraid.
This afternoon, near dusk, the caravan of several hundred people stopped when they reached a large river about several hundred feet wide.
They began to replenish water, cook, and rest.
When Han Li heard the sound of the nearby river flowing, his heart stirred, and he actually left the carriage.
"Immortal Master, do you have any orders?" The delicate and pretty girl named Ying Shan was eating something like bacon, and when she saw Han Li come out, she hurriedly threw the food aside, her face flushed red, and she bowed respectfully to Han Li.
Having traveled together for so long, this was the first time Han Li had walked out of the carriage on his own, which naturally made the girl somewhat panicked.
"It's nothing, I've just been meditating in the carriage for so long, I came out to take a look." Han Li turned his gaze to the girl's young and tender face, then looked at the hard food, and said gently.
"Then... Immortal Master Han, I will go get you some fresh water." The girl still looked somewhat at a loss.
"That's fine. Although I have long since practiced Grain Grain Grain Grain Grain Bigu, it wouldn't be bad to drink some fresh water." Han Li looked at the large river not far away and nodded.
Upon hearing this, the girl felt much less uneasy and immediately answered happily, took a water bag, and ran toward the river.
There, people from various tribes had lit campfires and set up some roasted meat like beef and mutton.
Han Li looked at the girl's slender back, and it seemed something in his heart was touched again, and a smile appeared on his face inadvertently.
After a while, the girl returned to Han Li's carriage with a water bag in one hand and a piece of roasted meat in the other, somewhat out of breath, and handed both items over somewhat embarrassedly.
"Immortal Master, this roasted meat tastes good. Would you like to try some?" The girl said somewhat eagerly.
"Alright! It has been many years since I have eaten these things. Eating some shouldn't be bad." Han Li smiled lightly, took the roasted meat without refusing, and took a bite. The taste was truly not bad.
Seeing this, a cute smile appeared on the girl's face.
"You are preparing to participate in the Spirit Opening Ceremony, right? It has been hard on you to stay by my carriage all these days. Extend your hand, let me see your spiritual roots." After eating a bite, Han Li stopped, flipped his palm, and said calmly to the girl.
"Thank you, Immortal Master." Upon hearing Han Li's words, the girl was stunned for a moment, but immediately became undisguisedly excited and extended her jade arm.
Han Li grabbed the girl's wrist, circulated spiritual energy through her body, and pondered. In fact, if his cultivation hadn't fallen to the Foundation Establishment level, he wouldn't have needed to touch her body to see it clearly with secret techniques.
"Immortal Master Han, how is my aptitude? Do I have a chance to become an Immortal Master?" The girl couldn't help but ask, her face filled with anticipation.
"It's alright. Becoming an Immortal Master will not be a problem. However, being able to meet me can be considered your opportunity. Take this bottle of medicinal pills before the Spirit Opening Ceremony." Han Li relaxed his five fingers, flipped his other palm, and a milky white small bottle appeared in his hand, which he handed to the girl.
"This is..." The girl took the small bottle, somewhat bewildered.
"Although it is not a precious medicinal pill, it can still do some work in improving your constitution. Perhaps in the future, it can let you go further on the path of cultivation." Han Li said nonchalantly.
He had long since looked down on medicinal pills that could wash the marrow and change the meridians for low-level cultivators.
"Thank you for the reward, Immortal Master!" The girl was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed again happily.
"Get up, how far you can go in the future depends on yourself. By the way, this river before us is so wide, could it be a tributary of the Tian Shui River that runs through the south?" After Han Li waved his hand, his gaze left the girl, and he suddenly asked about the origin of the large river before them.
"What Immortal Master said is correct, this is indeed a tributary of the Tian Shui River. If we walk another hundred miles or so forward, we can see the main stem of the Tian Shui River. That is the true Tian Shui River." After the girl carefully put away the bottle, she said happily.
Upon hearing this, Han Li did not speak. But all the information about the Tian Shui River appeared in his mind.
If he remembered correctly, this river was incredibly long and was the largest river in the Tianlan grassland. One end was connected to the Shun River within the Great Jin territory. And the two happened to have an upstream and downstream relationship.
He had a faint idea in his heart and couldn't help but ponder.
Han Li's expression stirred, and he suddenly raised his head to look at the sky on the other side of the river, his expression sinking.
"You go and notify your tribe leader quickly, saying that something is flying toward here, but I don't know if it is passing by or aiming at us." Han Li ordered the girl in a deep voice.
Ying Shan was startled by these words and hurriedly nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. Then she ran toward Ying Lu and the other leaders by the river.
A moment later, there was a commotion by the river, and everyone hurriedly spread their legs and ran back toward the vehicles.
As a result, before most people returned to the vehicles, green light flickered in the distant sky. Then a gloomy low roar came, and a giant bat covered in green light appeared there, growing from small to large.
Its ferocious and terrifying appearance made the mortals in the caravan feel their hearts jump with fear.
The few Immortal Masters who remained in the vehicles also walked out one after another, all looking over with solemn expressions.
