Chapter 149: Like Treading on a Tiger
Behind him was nothing but surging water, like a turbid yellow ribbon laid across the void.
The yin wind was piercing, the cold air chilled the bones, the fishy wind lashed the face, and the evil smell pierced the heart.
In the rolling waves.
One could still vaguely see countless water spirits with sharp claws and teeth, fierce and stubborn, each one eager to try, eyes shining with evil light, unable to wait to drag the carriage team into the mud sea.
Yet they were disgusted by the strange flower hanging on the dragon carriage, feeling like vomiting just smelling it.
Just by breathing in a few mouthfuls, that faint scent, like fine sandalwood, would drill into their seven orifices, sticking tightly to their blood flow, making these water spirits grab their hearts and scratch their livers, wishing they could vomit out their internal organs.
On one side was the hunger and thirst in their bellies.
On the other side.
Was the inability to endure the thick scent emitted by that strange flower.
The sandalwood scent for Chen Hang and the others.
In the perception of this group of water spirits, it was a stinking latrine, fermenting and smelling in the hot sun.
Just smelling a trace of it.
Made them feel dizzy, as if their bodies were about to be soiled.
"The so-called hundred poisons of the world, within five steps, there must be a cure—although this is the opinion of those sour scholars outside the Earth Abyss, it actually holds some truth."
Ding Wei wanted to show off, raised his hand slightly, and shook his head, saying:
"For example, this 'Tiger Pattern Flower' hanging on the dragon carriage, to ordinary sentient beings, is just a strange flower that never withers or fails, at most with a richer fragrance, and even its value for entering the cauldron to refine medicine is lacking.
But to Huo Luo and his blood descendants, the 'Tiger Pattern Flower' is the filthiest and foulest thing in this world! It must never be approached!
With this flower as protection, although this group of water spirits is fierce and stubborn, they absolutely dare not approach, and Huo Luo is even more lazy to bother, wishing we would leave quickly, so as not to soil his residence!"
"Brother Ding truly has extensive family learning and extraordinary insight."
Chen Hang smiled, bowed his hands, and praised him.
After crossing the Yellow Mud Sea safely all the way, Ding Wei was already quite satisfied with himself, and hearing this, he floated even more.
Chen Hang, who had obtained the cultivation method of "Yin-Eroding Red Water" and was summoned by Qiao Yu Bi, was treated with all kinds of flattery by even his father, Ding Xian, who wished he could treat him as an equal.
Since the elders in the family were like this, Ding Wei couldn't help but be moved.
If he could build a friendship with someone of Chen Hang's status, who knows what great benefits might be waiting for him in the future!
"Brother Chen, since we have crossed the Yellow Mud Sea, if there are no accidents, it should be a smooth road ahead."
Ding Wei smiled broadly and said: "At the current speed, at most six or seven days, we will arrive at the Golden Drum Cave where the True Person is. Here, I will first offer my congratulations to Brother Chen. The Great Dao is in sight, congratulations! Congratulations!"
The crowd of ghosts heard this and offered their congratulations one after another.
Even the two Nether Dragons let out a melodious roar.
Chen Hang bowed to thank them, his face calm, but he secretly thought:
"Six or seven days?"
It would only take six or seven days to arrive at the Golden Drum Cave, and they had already crossed the most dangerous territory of the Yellow Mud Sea, with countless armored soldiers following.
Yet Chen Hang still felt a sense of palpitations.
The warning from the Tai Su Jade Body was becoming increasingly intense.
Like thorns on his back, like sitting on pins and needles!
He frowned slightly, turned his eyes to Ding Wei, who still had joy on his face, and was just about to speak.
Just at this time, the spirits of the Yellow Mud Sea let out a clamor, making sharp, piercing cries.
That stretch of turbid yellow water suddenly surged like boiling soup in a cauldron, as if a giant beast was crashing through the waves underneath, shaking the hundred miles with a rumbling sound, raising waves that hit the sky.
Wind and tornadoes, spiritual energy in chaos, the momentum was extremely terrifying!
"What?!"
Ding Wei and the others were all dumbfounded, their minds lost by this sudden change, only when the giant waves roared over their heads did they hurriedly sacrifice their ghost artifacts in a panic, barely pushing away the turbid water.
The two Nether Dragons reacted first, swinging their tails, and raised a gloomy ghost light, wrapping all the ghosts and flying outward.
"Ang Gu!"
The sound waves rolled.
Like a ball of fire rolling across the ground!
An indescribable aura expanded in all directions.
The two Nether Dragons were touched by this aura and immediately trembled as if struck by lightning, their bodies shaking wildly, suddenly stopping.
"This... this..."
In contrast to the clamoring and cheering of the Yellow Mud Sea spirits, Ding Wei and the others were trembling with fear.
"Clearly we have already crossed the Yellow Mud Sea, why was this divine monster disturbed? In all the previous times, there had never been such a mistake?"
In the ghost light, Ding Wei shouted in shock: "Could it be that the 'Tiger Pattern Flower' is not working? That's not right, didn't it clearly suppress those water spirits just now?!"
In an instant.
Only hearing another arrogant roar.
A giant beast, towering like a mountain, wrapped in a huge amount of turbid water, leaped above the clouds.
This beast had a wide nose and narrow eyes, shaped like a toad but with a yellow body, a horn on its head, and four feet under its belly, all like tiger claws, its heavy torso supported by clusters of turbid yellow water waves.
Looking from afar, it was like a giant mountain piled up with yellow jade!
"Huo Luo..."
Chen Hang couldn't help but be shocked, countless thoughts flashing through his mind in an instant.
But the next moment, he vaguely sensed something was wrong.
The warning from the Tai Su Jade Body did not become significant after this Huo Luo appeared.
And this Huo Luo...
Seemed to have no hostility?
The towering divine monster stood silently in the clouds, looking at the carriage team, which was as small as mustard seeds.
Chen Hang felt its gaze linger on him for a few breaths, its bright yellow pupils filled with complex colors, then moved away without a sound.
Suddenly.
The field fell into a dead silence.
Except for the cheering of the water spirits.
Everyone else dared not breathe, their hands and feet trembling, fearing to make any unusual noise and be swallowed by the Huo Luo in the clouds.
"Wait, this Huo Luo was heavily injured?"
Chen Hang's eyes fixed, and on Huo Luo's belly, there was still a clear palm print, imprinted on it.
With his eyesight, he could even vaguely see the fingerprints in that palm print...
And before Chen Hang could guess further, Huo Luo, sensing his action, roared again, lowered its mouth, and sucked violently!
Bang!
A huge white tornado suddenly appeared, rotating three times, like a divine pillar stirring the sea, sucking all the spirits living in the Yellow Mud Sea into it, spinning wildly into the sky.
Then it opened its big mouth and tilted its neck.
Those spirits, along with an immeasurable amount of turbid water, fell steadily into Huo Luo's belly.
"Ang Gu!"
After doing all this, this Innate Divine Monster didn't look back, roared loudly, and its four feet exerted force in the clouds.
With just one leap, it jumped out of the Yellow Mud Sea, not knowing where it was leaping to.
The world still remained with the thunder-like echoes, lingering for a long time.
The ghosts of the carriage team covered their skulls with their hands, frowning.
Only Chen Hang revealed a strange look on his face.
At this time, he looked, only to see that the vast surface of the Yellow Mud Sea had been forcibly shaved off several layers, vaguely revealing the craggy stone pillars and dense gravel like buckets under the sea surface.
In the depths of the seabed.
Was a vast stone hall, roughly repaired—
"Has this Huo Luo gone mad? It has lived here for hundreds of years, why move its nest suddenly, and even move all its descendants away?"
Ding Wei, who felt he had escaped death, was shocked and suspicious, but couldn't grasp any clues, subconsciously looking at Chen Hang.
Seeing his face still calm, his expression without ups and downs, only the deep darkness in his eyes added a few more...
"Go, go! I dare not touch it, and it has nothing to do with me anymore!"
The roar emitted by Huo Luo before leaving.
The ghosts only felt it was a ball of fire thunder exploding, the fierce sound booming, shaking the void until it seemed to sway twice, rippling indefinitely, making their eardrums swell.
In Chen Hang's ears.
It was a loud roar containing fear and helplessness, making him feel shocked.
Huo Luo...
And this body, what exactly was the origin?
"Brother Chen? Brother Chen?"
This moment.
Ding Wei called out a few times, making Chen Hang turn his head to look.
And this rare absent-minded appearance made Ding Wei feel surprised in his heart, hurriedly saying:
"Brother Chen, although I don't know what Huo Luo is going crazy about, even abandoning its old nest, this change will inevitably attract some prying and exploration. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. To be safe, we should leave as soon as possible."
Chen Hang nodded upon hearing this, also agreeing with Ding Wei's statement.
"To tell the truth, I have the same intention, but I have one more word. If it takes six or seven days to arrive at the Golden Drum Cave, it is still somewhat slow... I just felt a change in my heart, as if a great disaster was about to befall me. I wonder if we can go faster?"
Ding Wei was stunned, his heart jumping wildly, then looked at the two Nether Dragons dragging the giant carriage, asking tentatively:
"Two Dragon Elders..."
"Yes! If we stir up all our essence blood, we don't need six or seven days, at most three days, we can arrive at the Golden Drum Cave!"
Before Ding Wei could finish asking.
One Nether Dragon had already directly interrupted his words.
The other Nether Dragon roared, turned its huge dragon head toward Chen Hang, and nodded.
"Then I will trouble you all. For today's great kindness, I will definitely repay it in the future."
Chen Hang felt a little relieved, bowed solemnly, and said solemnly.
And the two Nether Dragons saw this and hissed with satisfaction, satisfied with this promise, swung their bodies, and a long rainbow appeared, heading straight for the distant sky.
In the blink of an eye.
They disappeared without a trace...
Speeding like lightning all the way, the escape speed was extremely fast.
Only an hour passed, and they had left the Yellow Mud Sea far behind, passing through heavy mountains one after another.
And at this time, in front of a towering high mountain with deep forests and craggy rocks everywhere.
With the appearance of a blue light, a ball of black smoke gathered by yin ghosts suddenly appeared. The black smoke, holding a bone flag, looked around with satisfaction and laughed.
"Good nephew, you are truly a rabbit, making your uncle search for you for so long!"
He looked coldly at the dragon carriage driving from afar, shook the bone flag in his hand slightly, and the black smoke gathered by yin ghosts seemed to get some help, immediately rising with the wind.
With a "swish," it covered the territory of dozens of miles around!
And on the other side, the carriage team had just approached this ancient mountain when they saw the originally dark sky light darken completely.
Smoke and dust rolled, evil light surged—
In the black smoke, there were ten thousand ghosts wailing and struggling, and as far as the eye could see, there were these hideous and formless resentful souls.
Those miserable screams or laughter seemed to come from all directions, hitting the eardrums violently, or rising from the heart, making everyone who heard it feel shocked and cold on their backs.
"Refining ghosts into tools? This method must be a strong person blocking the way ahead!"
The two Nether Dragons looked at each other and ran away without hesitation!
But at this time, the wilderness was covered by black smoke, and no matter how they rushed left and right, they couldn't escape to safety.
The two Nether Dragons roared wildly, and again spat out arrogant yin fire from their mouths, but this spell, which could easily burn a Purple Palace high-merit cultivator to death, did not have any effect.
The black smoke blocking the front was destroyed, and immediately surged to fill it again, layer upon layer, as if endless.
The two Nether Dragons felt restless in their hearts, becoming increasingly uneasy.
The remaining ghosts acting as armored guards were even more unbearable, each one dumbfounded and at a loss.
At this moment, the black smoke slowly dispersed, opening a line, revealing a young man wearing a gray magic robe with a seductive and evil appearance.
He had long, narrow eyebrows, a pair of vertical pupils shining with cold light, holding a bone flag in his hand, his expression smiling but not smiling.
"This flag—"
A Nether Dragon suddenly had straight eyes, as if recognizing what the thing in Yue You's hand was.
And before he could say anything, Yue You slammed the bone flag into the ground, and the black smoke all around burst out with a heaven-shattering sound.
The creatures on the field exclaimed, feeling their souls overturned, and then felt the world spinning, unable to hold their bodies at all, being forcibly dismantled by an inexplicable force and thrown into the depths of the black smoke.
"Not good!"
Ding Wei's heart jumped wildly.
That inexplicable great force also treated the dragon carriage's restrictions as nothing, sweeping directly through, not only separating the carriage cabin and throwing it somewhere unknown.
Even the two Nether Dragons specially guarding Chen Hang roared wildly, falling heavily into the depths of the black smoke, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
At this time.
He didn't know who the target of this strange fierce person was?
But there was no time to do anything.
The next moment, Ding Wei's figure swayed, and he was thrown out, falling into the depths of the black smoke, falling into a mess.
When he finally climbed up with difficulty, he was covered by black smoke, unable to see his fingers.
Unable to distinguish east, west, south, or north...
Just as Ding Wei was fleeing in panic, but found that he was just spinning in place in vain.
Deep in the black smoke, a shrill laugh suddenly came.
Then a fierce ghost flew out, biting fiercely toward his head!
The light was dark, ten thousand ghosts crying.
In the blink of an eye.
All the ghosts and Nether Dragons around were dispersed and moved, leaving only Chen Hang alone, facing the young man with the strange origin.
"Alright, fortunately, Chen Yushu once passed me this left-handed refining trick, otherwise it would have been quite troublesome."
Yue You laughed with satisfaction, clapped his hands, and looked at Chen Hang:
"The miscellaneous flies are all gone, nephew, now it's just you and me, don't delay, let's go! It's time to send you home!"
"What does the Senior mean?"
"My name is Yue You, sent by your father Chen Chen Yushu to find you. The offspring is drifting outside, he sits in the room every day, weeping, missing you like crazy!"
Yue You laughed and opened his mouth:
"Let's go, let's go, you are specially cared for by Chen Yushu! I will take you back to the Innate Xiantian Xiantian Mo Zong to enjoy the ultimate happiness of the world!
Want to enter the Innate Xiantian Xiantian Mo Zong to cultivate the Dao? If you are a smart and sensible person, even if Chen Yushu promotes you to be a true disciple of the Innate Xiantian Xiantian Mo Zong, it is not impossible!"
Although this tone was relaxed and amiable, it hidden a sinister and malicious intent that could not be added!
The warning from the Tai Su Jade Body became more intense than ever at this moment.
His skin was aching and splitting!
The heart-piercing pain came in waves, continuously spreading throughout his body!
"So, the calamity actually responded here?"
Chen Hang reached out to summon, holding his sword, thinking. ===== CHAPTER 150 =====
