Chapter 1504: Evil Dragon Shows Might
These three Evil Dragons may be lower in realm, but their bodily advantage is too obvious.
Their huge bodies, once they appear, block out all the light in this stretch of sky.
An Evil Dragon's claw can dig into the bones inside a dragon-elephant's body, then after grabbing the dragon-elephant, it slams it down heavily.
Even an Evil Dragon can simply grab a dragon-elephant's head with one claw and lift it up; before it could even slam the dragon-elephant to death, its claws already reach into the dragon-elephant's neck and tear out its windpipe.
Another Evil Dragon seized the dragon-elephant's hind back; the dragon-elephant struggled desperately, trying not to be lifted, but with a 'ripping' sound, a large chunk of skin and flesh was torn from its entire back by the Evil Dragon.
To Ye Liuyun's Evil Dragons, capturing these dragon-elephants is as easy as an eagle catching a chick.
A single flap of its wing can send the thick-skinned, meaty dragon-elephant tumbling.
Those dragon-elephants have no real attack skills; aside from great strength and sturdy flesh, their bodies are quite clumsy, so against those Evil Dragons they are utterly helpless, getting caught with a single grab.
"What kind of ferocious beast is this!" the martial cultivators opposite, including Meng Zhangxing, all exclaimed in doubt.
They had never seen such a huge ferocious beast before.
Moreover, these Evil Dragons can also spew Demon Qi.
That old man, leading the martial cultivators, wanted to step forward to rescue the dragon-elephants, but was entangled by the ferocious beasts previously released by Ye Liuyun and company, who launched a fierce attack, leaving them no chance to strike at the Evil Dragons.
Soon, more than ten dragon-elephants were either caught and killed or flung to death by those Evil Dragons, after which the Evil Dragons directly swallowed them whole.
"Damn! How much food are these guys wasting!" Meng Zhangxing stared, eyes glazed with longing.
One dragon-elephant's massive body would be enough to feed his ferocious beasts for a long time.
But now, after being swallowed whole by those Evil Dragons, they still seem not to have eaten their fill!
That old man and the few martial cultivators, now lacking the dragon-elephants' support, are completely on the defensive, being chased and beaten by those ferocious beasts.
Ye Liuyun, meanwhile, directly launched a Spiritual Soul Attack against the head servant.
"I see!" After Ye Liuyun finished searching the soul, he directly annihilated that old servant's soul.
"What's up? What information did you find?" Meng Zhangxing asked curiously.
Ye Liuyun, while releasing a clone to help the ferocious beasts and ensure no enemy escaped, began to explain to everyone.
"It turns out everything you said is true! The Nan Xiang Empire indeed failed to find the treasure in the Fall Sunset Mountain Range. Luo Tianming's true purpose this time is simply to hunt for treasure." Ye Liuyun told Meng Zhangxing.
"Do they really know that we've seen through their plot?" Ya was most concerned about this question.
"Yes! Not only do they know, they even specially mobilized martial cultivators to hunt us down. They've also stationed a large army on the outskirts! Now I find it hard to dodge their pursuit, or even escape the Fall Sunset Mountain Range." Ye Liuyun sighed.
"How did they find out?" Ya didn't quite understand.
"Luo Tianming's forces moved early and encountered the martial cultivators we had scattered. After receiving the news, they immediately withdrew to gather reinforcements, which is why we didn't wait for him!" Ye Liuyun told Ya.
Upon hearing this, Ya's face fell in disappointment. "Those martial cultivators have indeed betrayed us!"
"That's not certain!" Meng Zhangxing said matter-of-factly.
At this point, those martial cultivators had already been taken down by Ye Liuyun's clone, and the Storage Rings were also retrieved by the clone.
"There's quite a bit of good stuff, huh?" Meng Zhangxing eagerly took it over.
"Haha, truly a grand move by the Empire! We've struck it rich!" he said, then began distributing the loot to everyone.
Ye Liuyun contributed the most, so he naturally got the largest share. But even those who contributed nothing still received a share.
Just the Spirit Stones in that old servant's hand are worth more than the treasures they've found these days. Moreover, there are also plenty of pills, weapons, and treasures.
Thus everyone was quite happy, only Ya remained worried.
Seeing this, everyone went to comfort Ya. But given the situation, Ya's worrying is useless; we can only see what happens after we go out.
"Since Luo Tianming already knows our situation, there's no need to insist on hunting down those martial cultivators—it would just waste time!" Guo Da suggested.
Ye Liuyun also agreed with his suggestion: "Yeah! Our main task from now on is to hunt for treasure, while keeping as much distance as possible from Luo Tianming and his group."
After they reached an agreement, Ye Liuyun went to handle the Life Spring Water.
His method is also simple: he just sticks his hand into the spring water and absorbs all the poison inside.
"Damn! This method… did you wash your hands beforehand? I'm going to drink this later!" Meng Zhangxing shouted from the side upon seeing this.
"If you think it's dirty, you can skip it!" Luo Yun took out a small bottle and began filling it with water.
"No way! This is Life Spring Water—dirty or not, it's still better than nothing!" Meng Zhangxing said, thick-skinned.
Immediately he then asked Ye Liuyun: "Are you sure you've removed all the poison inside?"
Ye Liuyun smiled, then directly transferred his portion of the Life Spring Water into the Space World, injecting it into the Life Spring Water pool.
He has plenty of this stuff. But it's indeed a valuable resource, so he can't do without it.
After everyone divided the Life Spring Water, Meng Zhangxing turned his attention to the rock wall.
"You say this Life Spring Water, where does it come from?"
"Haha, I was also thinking of blasting open the mountain wall to take a look!" Ye Liuyun also had this idea.
"Don't blast it! In case there's some mechanism inside, or we fear breaking something—we should dig!" Meng Zhangxing suggested.
Ye Liuyun looked at the hard wall, also too lazy to act, so he summoned an Evil Dragon, which clawed at the mountain wall a few times—each swipe could dig out a large chunk of stone, and in the end it actually dug out a big hole.
The hole's diameter is about a person's height, and underground there is a very narrow groove.
The cave as a whole slopes outward. The Life Spring Water flows out from that groove.
"Huh?" Seeing this, everyone was quite curious.
"Ya, send a ferocious beast in to check it out."
Ye Liuyun immediately also gathered up the ferocious beasts, preparing to go in and explore.
Ya instantly released a ferocious beast using a talisman, sending it into the cave to scout.
Not long after, everyone heard a 'ribbit'—a frog croak—and then Ya told everyone that the ferocious beast she had sent in had died.
"What realm is that toad?" Meng Zhangxing wasn't sure about the realm of that frog's croak.
"Heavenly Venerable Triple—its realm isn't high! But there's no fluctuation of True Essence inside. I'm afraid that ferocious beast wasn't killed by True Essence."
Ye Liuyun isn't sure now either whether that frog croak was a sound wave attack.
But he can be certain that there is no fluctuation of True Essence inside, and no sign of a fierce beast having fought.
