Chapter 513: Chapter 467: Looting Corpses
Jiang Yuebai leaned against the tree branch, her white hair entangled with the tree’s trunk, delving deep into the tree, connecting her perception with the tree’s roots.
Through the complex underground network of roots, she observed the fierce battle happening fifty miles away.
The Grass and Wood Demon Clan, especially the vine type, inherently possessed the ability to parasitize large trees. Therefore, in the jungle, as long as her Divine Soul Power was sufficient, all the trees could serve as her eyes.
Jiang Yuebai rarely used this method and typically spread out the Wind Net, because using this method too often would result in insufficient Divine Soul Power, making her dizzy and unclear-headed.
"Sigh! Unable to split my Divine Thought, I can only focus on one thing. Otherwise, I could watch the battle and read a book simultaneously, but now time is wasted!"
With a sigh, Jiang Yuebai closed her eyes and ’saw’ large swathes of trees collapsing in the depths of the jungle, ’heard’ the murderous sound of the pipa.
A young male cultivator at the Early-Stage Golden Core stood amidst the collapsed trees with a pipa in his arms, his fingers flying, playing the disrupting part of the Dragon Herding Song.
"It’s nearing its limit, hold tight! Speed up the tempo!"
Roar!!
A dragon as thick as a water cylinder roared in pain, covered in talismanic paper, which emitted golden light and formed multiple chains binding it tightly.
The chains were firmly nailed to the ground by two male and female cultivators running back and forth, constantly launching new talismanic papers to continue suppressing the Tree Dragon.
The dragon was not large, with brown scales bearing wood grain. It was a young Tree Dragon.
This type of dragon had natural camouflage and would pretend to be a tree in the forest. If it remained still, it was hard to detect, often launching surprise ambushes on passing cultivators.
The tempo accelerated as the Tree Dragon’s body emitted green light, which the sound waves induced by the melody scattered. It could only rely on its massive body, with its tail sweeping wildly.
Debris flew as a male cultivator in Mid-Stage Golden Core, evidently the team leader, waved thirteen long nails, linking them into a line, shooting swiftly, aiming them fiercely at the Tree Dragon’s tail.
Thump thump thump!
Amidst the Tree Dragon’s miserable howls, dragon blood splattered as its tail was pinned to the ground by the thirteen long nails.
The group breathed a sigh of relief, and the team leader took out a large black nail as thick as an arm, engraved with runes.
He stepped swiftly to the front of the Tree Dragon, raised the black nail, and smashed it heavily at the dragon’s forehead.
Roar!!
Suddenly, a dragon roar erupted, accompanied by strong sound waves, blowing the male cultivator playing the pipa far away.
Just then, a more enormous Grass Dragon emerged swiftly from the ground, entwined with grass vines, crashing directly into the leader.
The Grass Dragon swirled its grass leaves, accompanied by the dragon power of Early-Stage Nascent Soul, as if thousands of dragon-shaped blades instantly severed all the Tree Dragon’s rune lock chains.
The female cultivator responsible for the rune lock chains was blown away by the aftermath, while the male cultivator, caught off guard, was bitten by the Grass Dragon, blood splattering instantly, half of his body gone.
The Grass Dragon spat out the half-person angrily, its dragon claw shook the ground, its dragon back arched, and its nostrils spewed two white streams, the fluttering dragon whiskers carrying fury.
Woo~
The Tree Dragon uttered a pitiful whimper, tears overflowing its eyes, its tail pinned to the ground, unable to rise.
"It’s a Grass Dragon!"
The team leader clutched his chest, got up, glanced at the dead companion, wanted to take the Storage Pendant and the fallen Dragon Prison Nail, but dared not approach, and could only retreat with the other two.
After the trio retreated, the Grass Dragon turned around, clawed the ground, and shook loose the pinned nails on the Tree Dragon’s tail, freeing it.
The small Tree Dragon, covered in scars, staggered to the Grass Dragon’s side.
Woo!
The Grass Dragon let out a low croon, indicating the small Tree Dragon to leave with it.
As the Grass Dragon was about to collect the belongings of the human clan cultivators on the ground, it suddenly saw the nails disappearing one by one, rapidly.
The Grass Dragon shook its head in confusion, blinked as all the nails vanished, and an invisible hand stretched toward the waist Storage Pendant of the half-corpse.
Roar!!
The Grass Dragon let out an angry roar, its sound waves and airflow revealing Jiang Yuebai’s figure. She clutched the Storage Pendant tightly, and as the Grass Dragon opened its mouth to bite her, she shouted loudly.
Immobilization!
The small restriction for the Dragon Clan activated, freezing the massive head of the Grass Dragon mid-air while Jiang Yuebai swiftly seized the Storage Pendant and turned to flee.
Roar!
The Grass Dragon roared, breaking the restriction, soaring upwards, its massive dragon tail crashing down toward Jiang Yuebai’s head.
Jiang Yuebai’s lips curved slightly, her body exploding with a flash of golden light, instantly transforming into a large Eight-Armed Vajra Illusion that raised two arms to grab the Grass Dragon’s tail.
"Off you go!"
Suppressing with the essence blood of the Winged Dragon, the Eight-Armed Vajra Illusion exerted the Barbarian God’s Great Strength, swinging the dragon tail mightily, directly slamming the entire Grass Dragon to the ground like a whip.
Boom!
The ground cracked open, the surging air currents sweeping across.
The trio who had escaped earlier were once again caught off guard and flipped over, spitting blood as they turned back, glimpsing the towering Eight-Armed Vajra Illusion through the swirling dust and wood debris, like an Ancient Barbarian God, exerting unparalleled strength and shaking the world.
The Early-Stage Nascent Soul Grass Dragon was utterly helpless in its hands, being grabbed by both ends and pulled forcefully.
Rip——
The trio gasped, watching wide-eyed as the Grass Dragon was torn apart, as effortlessly as pulling noodles.
The severed Grass Dragon howled in pain, its entire body suddenly scattering into countless strands of grass, fleeing in all directions, impossible to catch.
Jiang Yuebai dissipated the Eight-Armed Vajra Illusion, noticed the small Tree Dragon had fled too, didn’t want further entanglements, and quickly left.
As she departed, the trio returned only to find no trace of anyone, just two large footprints on the ground, half a person’s depth.
"What... what was that?"
The trio exchanged glances, looking bewildered.
Jiang Yuebai wore a smile as she sped through the forest, tossing the dragon-shaped Storage Pendant, searching for a safe place.
"Against a dragon of such a huge size, one restriction can only immobilize its head. The ’Barbarian God Skill’ is the real tool."
After running over a hundred miles, Jiang Yuebai found a dead tree with a large space inside.
She set up a great array to hide within, taking out the items scavenged from the corpses.
Fourteen nails, one large, thirteen small, they seemed to be a specially crafted Magic Treasure for dealing with dragons.
"I’ve never seen the runes on them before, are they unique to the Green Dragon Realm?"
Jiang Yuebai observed for a while, then set the nails aside for now, breaking into the Storage Pendant’s Divine Sense Mark.
With her Divine Sense probing inside, Jiang Yuebai covered her face.
"Next time, I’ll let Bai Jiuyou open this kind of thing. She’s nobler than me, having been the Witch Ancestor, she surely has better luck than me."
Within the Storage Pendant, there weren’t many Spirit Stones she only managed to retrieve a bit over three hundred.
"When will I ever have enough to buy a Method to refine Essence Blood!"
She risked her life to scavenge from corpses, only to find so few Spirit Stones, how miserable!
Jiang Yuebai continued to extract items, the Storage Pendant predominantly contained talismanic paper used to imprison the Tree Dragon, with a total of over one hundred sheets.
The runes on them were new to Jiang Yuebai, giving her direction for enhancing her talisman techniques.
"With so much Dragon Blood, did this person bathe in it?" Jiang Yuebai took out five large gourds, each labeled, all filled with Dragon Blood.
"This is..."
Jiang Yuebai pulled out the sole Jade Scroll inside, it bore special runes and a crack, indicating a limit on viewing times.
Jiang Yuebai cautiously checked it, then burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, truly a turn of fate, with hope appearing amidst difficulty, no wonder this guy is so poor. Turns out, he’s already bought a Method for refining Essence Blood, wonderful, wonderful. Seems my luck isn’t that bad after all~"
