Chapter 164: Soul? Blood Demon? Dragon Scale?

"Speak up, what did you encounter inside?"

Chen Chuyang didn't get angry; instead, he wanted to know what was inside the Wild Dragon Snake's corpse.

Xiao Liyu blinked, then began to recount slowly.

"I went in, and I was just soaking in blood, just soaking in blood, and then I felt no danger, so I swam forward; Master, you said you wanted to find the inner elixir, so I tried."

"I swam forward for a while, encountered a barrier, and then returned to the wound spot."

"After that I tried several times, and without exception I always returned to that place."

"Moreover, Master, I constantly felt that after entering the corpse, those eyes kept staring at me, the feeling grew stronger, no doubt, someone was watching me."

"Then I didn't dare stay any longer and fled out."

Xiao Liyu recounted everything it had encountered, leaving no detail untouched.

Chen Chuyang lowered his head, pondering, someone is watching it, doesn't that imply?

They are also being watched, yet they don't sense it— is the problem with them, or is Xiao Liyu at fault?

It shouldn't be; Xiao Liyu doesn't lie, nor would it scare me with such a thing. So there's only one question: Xiao Liyu is telling the truth, and those eyes really are staring at it, constantly staring— is it because of Xiao Liyu's bloodline?

"Eyes? Staring? Is the Wild Dragon Snake still alive? Or, after the Wild Dragon Snake died, did something terrifying arise within its body?"

It's not impossible; when such a monster dies, its body becomes a treasure ground, and the birth of something terrifying isn't out of the question.

This world is mysterious; anything can happen.

If that's the case, then it would be trouble.

The Wild Dragon Snake corpse is right before us; we can't leave empty‑handed.

If I don't get it in my hands soon, Chen Chuyang won't be at ease.

"How about trying again?"

"If what's inside doesn't kill us, does that mean it can't act?"

"Or what?"

Can't determine; regardless of the situation, it's indeterminate.

Chen Chuyang fell into contemplation, pondering for the duration of an incense stick, yet still had no clue.

He began to hesitate, drawing a lot of Wild Dragon Snake blood into his hand, enough for him to use for a long time.

"How about returning first, and study it slowly next time?"

Can't be hasty; the more hurried, the more dangerous.

Next time, when he becomes stronger, he'll slowly enter the Wild Dragon Snake corpse's interior.

This corpse has been placed here all these years without incident; it can't be that it would go wrong just because he leaves for a month, right?

The danger inside is beyond Chen Chuyang's control, and he can't locate those staring eyes.

Hoo hoo hoo.

Glancing into the cave, Chen Chuyang took a deep breath, then produced a spiritual stone, set up a Formation, covering the area.

Just in case, preventing others from finding this place is also for his own sake; if something is inside and he emerges, wouldn't that—?

How this cave formed is a big question.

After arranging several Formations, taking half a day, Chen Chuyang looked at his masterpiece, quite satisfied.

"Finally finished setting up; with these Formations in place, if anything emerges inside, it will surely be bound by the Formation, and I'll know."

"Moreover, this cave heaven probably can't stay hidden long; leaks have begun everywhere, I must speed up."

The cave heaven is already showing signs of damage bit by bit.

For unknown reasons, this cave heaven will eventually be exposed.

When that time comes, it will be found quickly, and Chen Chuyang must accelerate.

But the danger inside is uncertain; he can only proceed step by step.

"Hope those people don't discover this place so quickly."

Chen Chuyang glanced at other parts of the cave heaven; they can't be repaired nor hidden.

According to his estimate, within a year it will be discovered.

He still has plenty of time.

"Let's go."

"Yes, Master."

Xiao Liyu was terrified of Master Tou Tie and insisted on returning to investigate.

The Wild Dragon Snake corpse is dangerous; it doesn't want to go in a second time, nor be stared at by those eyes— very dangerous.

After they left, the mountain peak trembled once.

The Wild Dragon Snake corpse stretched out, and a pair of eyes slowly opened, watching Chen Chuyang and their backs.

"Human?"

"And that little carp, the Xiao Liyu that carries my bloodline, how amusing."

"Is this place about to be discovered? I must speed up."

The voice gradually faded.

The eyes, after closing, the surroundings fell into darkness again.

At the same time, in some part of Longshe Cheng, a figure stared at a dragon scale in the palm of its hand.

The scale was large, flashing a different light.

He traversed every corner of Longshe Cheng, moving under the night, and finally appeared in a remote spot of Longshe Cheng, the scale in his hand emitting a faint glow.

"This is it, indeed, the Wild Dragon Snake truly fell here."

"Those people are all searching for the Wild Dragon Snake corpse; the Wild Dragon Snake corpse is mine."

He looked at the spot before him, his body flashed, and he walked toward the ground beneath.

He passed through a great distance and arrived underground.

His figure appeared again.

A newly opened cavern.

Inside the cavern, there was a faint aura, a dense aura.

"This place?"

"Is this the aura? The aura of the Wild Dragon Snake, indeed, this aura cannot be mistaken."

"Sure enough, destiny is on my side."

"Hahaha."

He spread his hands, and a surge of blood Qi burst from his body.

The blood Qi seeped outward, passing through the soil, and kept descending.

Then, he sensed a layer of barrier.

"Cave Heaven, just as expected. After the Wild Dragon Snake fell, it formed its own Cave Heaven, thereby cutting off contact with this realm. Had this Cave Heaven not been on the verge of collapse, I might… not have discovered this place."

"Fortunately, I found a scale of the Wild Dragon Snake, which allowed me to locate this place."

"The Wild Dragon Snake's corpse, its Cave Heaven, and perhaps those people."

He looked at the Cave Heaven before him; there was a fissure that had not yet fully opened.

Unable to enter.

"The Cave Heaven is about to collapse; it will take some time, and I can use this period to make some arrangements."

"Those people are delicious blood food; if I devour them, my strength will rise a notch, and then no one can stop me."

"I, the Blood Demon, will unify this world."

"Heavenly Heart Sect, Spirit Sword Sect, Yin Gui Sect, Great Qi Dynasty, and those bastards, I will make you repay your blood debts in blood."

He pressed his palms together and began the arrangement.

The blood Qi sealed that fissure, preventing the inner aura from leaking.

This place can only be known by him; others must not be told.

After the arrangement, he looked at the cavern, then took out an altar.

He placed it on the ground, and his hands began to power the altar.

"Activate."
