Chapter 1832: Chapter 1817: Thousand Absolute Pill
"Second Elder, they have been here. I sensed the auras of Ye Zhen and Wang Baimu, but then their auras vanished into thin air."
The Three-eyed Demon Clan Dao Realm Venerable Jii Yan’s spiritual light dissipated from his nose as he walked over to a few bloodstains, first sniffing, then touching, and finally tasting with the tip of his tongue.
"The time this blood dropped here cannot exceed an hour, just a little over fifteen minutes."
"Additionally, I sensed a fierce spatial fluctuation, and the occurrence was recent. It should be before we arrived that those two used some spatial divine ability secret technique to leave," Jii Yan judged.
Jii Yan made these judgments, but the Three-eyed Demon Clan’s Second Elder, Jii Gongyue, had no reaction. When Jii Yan looked up, he saw Jii Gongyue staring fixedly at the Spirit Light Sparkling Five Seed Pomegranate in the center of Quagmire Lake.
"A Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object?"
Just one look, and Jii Yan inhaled sharply.
"Unexpectedly, Di Kuohai offered thirty Spirit Void Fruits as a bounty for this Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object, the Five Seed Pomegranate."
Speaking, the Three-eyed Demon Clan’s Second Elder Jii Gongyue burst into laughter, "The Five Seed Pomegranate can replenish source spiritual objects!
Heaven hasn’t abandoned the Three-eyed Divine Race, heaven blesses the Three-eyed Divine Race. With this Five Seed Pomegranate extending life, our Three-eyed Divine Race’s ancestors might have a chance to promote to Creation God. Once the ancestors achieve creation godhood...hahaha..."
At this moment, Jii Gongyue’s laughter resonated everywhere, shattering stones with its sound waves and causing ripples in the air, making the entire Quagmire Lake spring to life as if boiling.
"Roar!"
A massive blood-soaked mountain surged abruptly from Quagmire Lake, unable to bear Jii Gongyue’s laughter. The Goldback Crocodile Dragon stirred a wave of muddy tides, roaring wrathfully at Jii Gongyue.
Seeing five enormous Goldback Crocodile Dragons baring their bloody mouths and roaring simultaneously, Jii Gongyue’s laughter ceased abruptly, his expression turning rigid.
"Five Ancient Fierce Beast Goldback Crocodile Dragons of Half-step Dao Realm...," Jii Yan was dumbfounded.
At the same time, Ye Zhen felt a bit helpless.
Those five Goldback Crocodile Dragons were too cautious. Despite being provoked by Jii Gongyue’s laughter, roaring in defiance, they relaxed not one bit regarding protection of the Five Seed Pomegranate.
Helplessly, Ye Zhen could only take the opportunity to swiftly circle widely, sneaking into the back of the ten-mile protection circle that the five Goldback Crocodile Dragons had around the Five Seed Pomegranate.
Then, Ye Zhen tried to sneak deeper underground.
If Jii Gongyue were to discover his tracks, not only would Ye Zhen’s plans fall through, but even basic survival would prove difficult.
Carefully, stepping back a certain distance, even Jii Gongyue was unwilling to face five boundless Ancient Fierce Beast Goldback Crocodile Dragons simultaneously.
"Can you confirm that they have already left?" Jii Gongyue turned back and asked.
Di Kuohai’s bounty target was the Five Seed Pomegranate, seeing the Five Seed Pomegranate but making no moves, the logical choice is to retreat immediately using spatial divine abilities to escape.
Although this made sense, with pursuers behind and the five Ancient Fierce Beast Goldback Crocodile Dragons ahead, not to mention two martial artists below the Dao Realm, even for them, handling it was extremely perilous, forced to retreat.
But years of experience taught him to be wary and cautious.
Because just before, fellow Dao Realm Venerable Jii Tongduan was nearly done in by Di Kuohai.
Until now, even though Di Kuohai only possessed mid Dark Palace Realm cultivation, he dared not underestimate him anymore.
"Confirmed..." the words almost left Jii Yan’s lips before hesitating, "I will search again."
This time, Jii Yan pressed his nose right to the ground, while the spiritual light from his nose rippled outwards, extending even further, nearly covering most of Quagmire Lake.
After a hundred breaths, Jii Yan slowly stood up, "Second Elder, I can confirm they have already left."
At that moment, Jii Gongyue’s forehead suddenly opened, releasing thousands of fine golden lights shooting out, sweeping up and down.
Thorough as if with a sieve, sweeping the front and back space within this passage.
Even nearby, the Quagmire Lake was scanned thoroughly.
The golden light striking the Goldback Crocodile Dragons’ skin, sparked wildly.
Although it caused no harm to the Goldback Crocodile Dragons, it did successfully anger them.
The five Goldback Crocodile Dragons, just laid down, emerged once again from Quagmire Lake, swinging their bodies and roaring in fury.
With the Goldback Crocodile Dragons’ actions, the entire Quagmire Lake started to boil violently again.
Witnessing this, the Three-eyed Demon Clan’s Second Elder Jii Gongyue nodded in satisfaction.
The Goldback Crocodile Dragons, with their angry roars, using their power to shake Quagmire Lake, now even the most skilled escape technique couldn’t remain intact.
It seems that no one is hiding in Quagmire Lake.
Meanwhile, Ye Zhen, who had sneaked to the deepest layer of Quagmire Lake, felt horrified.
Had he not been cautious, he might have been discovered already.
"Since those two really have left, we need to quickly retrieve this Five Seed Pomegranate before they gather any reinforcements. Jii Yan, do you have any suggestions?" Jii Gongyue asked.
"Second Elder, facing five Half-step Dao Realm Goldback Crocodile Dragons together is too dangerous. It’s better to find a way to lure one out, then together we can slay it. With each one less, the pressure we face will decrease accordingly.
If we can lure out two Goldback Crocodile Dragons, we can rush into Quagmire Lake to seize that Five Seed Pomegranate," Jii Yan suggested.
Hearing this, Jii Gongyue nodded, "I think the same. Get ready. These creatures are crafty. Once ashore, I will attack, and you must cut off their retreat.
When blocking their retreat, be careful of the other four Goldback Crocodile Dragons striking from behind."
"Understood!"
A few breaths later, a flash, Jii Gongyue and Jii Yan vanished into thin air, but ten miles from the lakeshore appeared a Black ** Tiger exuding fresh bloody scent, its flowing blood enticingly urging the five Goldback Crocodile Dragons to raise their heads, drooling profusely.
Guarding the Five Seed Pomegranate here, they hadn’t tasted decent flesh for hundreds of years.
They’re tempted!
Several breaths later, the strongest Goldback Crocodile Dragon swung its head vigorously, its not-so-long tongue wrapped in mud like a whip, curling toward the Black ** Tiger.
The mud whip curled up, rolling the Black ** Tiger back to Quagmire Lake, where the five Goldback Crocodile Dragons swiftly tore it apart, devouring it cleanly in moments.
A few breaths later, Jii Gongyue and Jii Yan reappeared facing each other.
The first attempt to lure had failed.
At the same moment, a fierce expression crossed Jii Yan’s face, "Second Elder, I possess a precious Thousand Absolute Pill, and once dissolved, even a Dao Realm expert would meet their doom from the poison.
Since these creatures love to eat, let’s send them to their graves with this Thousand Absolute Pill."
"Thousand Absolute Pill?"
The Three-eyed Demon Clan’s Second Elder Jii Gongyue was overjoyed upon hearing this, "That’s excellent. Bring it out quickly."
"Rest assured, once we bring this Five Seed Pomegranate to offer to the ancestors, the value of your Thousand Absolute Pill will be rewarded ten times or even a hundred times over from the ancestors."
"Mm!"
Nodding, Jii Yan flew to a distance, took out a dark red pill, carefully dissolved it with beast blood he carried, and used spiritual power to lace it across newly extracted Demon Beast corpses from his storage space.
This time, they placed five poisonous corpses in total.
Jii Gongyue and Jii Yan placed five toxic Demon Beast corpses ten miles away, then poured a barrel of beast blood that emitted an irresistibly alluring scent to the Goldback Crocodile Dragons.
Exchanging smiles, Jii Gongyue and Jii Yan disappeared into the distance once more.
