Chapter 558 Waiting for the Rabbit, the Remains of the Cliff Snake

A raging wind swept across the vast sea.

Suddenly, a huge figure shot over from afar like a meteor, and when he stopped, the sea water exploded into countless waves.

At this moment, the heavy rain had stopped, and the waves were shining in the sunlight, reflecting colorful colors.

Under the hazy halo, the huge figure slowly shrank, the air armor dissipated, the wings converged, and layers of air waves like steam pushed away the surrounding sea water.

But in a moment, as the waves fell back into the sea, Luo Chen returned to his body.

Looking at the naked body without any cover, he couldn't help but frowned.

Whether it is Tianpeng Transformation or Wang Yuan's Giant Spirit Transformation, there are problems in this regard. After the transformation, the clothes will be torn.

When the realm was low before, the body changed only one or two feet in size, and ordinary robes could expand with it.

But now that he has advanced to the late third stage of the ancient times, with full power transformation, it can easily move dozens of feet, and his top-grade robes can't bear it.

"Forget it, it's just a small matter after all."

He performed the healing spell, briefly controlled the injuries on his body, and put on a loose moon-white Taoist robe.

Afterwards, Luo Chen sank to the bottom of the sea and waited quietly.

With his full-strength burst speed, the period just now had allowed him to escape from the Xuanyan Sea by more than a thousand miles.

Ordinary third-level monsters could not catch up.

Especially the monsters on Xuanyan Island, which were not known for their speed. Crabs and turtles, and most of them were seriously injured by the thunder tribulation.

The only few great monster kings such as Jinzhao who had the spare energy to chase Luo Chen, were also hit by Luo Chen's Qingyang handprint that he had secretly accumulated for a long time, and they were already unable to take care of themselves.

Therefore, Luo Chen was not worried about being caught up.

He was waiting here now to meet up with Han Zhan and the Black King.

The evacuation point of Han Zhan and his team was a way out that Han Zhan had seen from Xuanyan Island through the formation. With the help of the Lanyun Misty Formation of the Fengshen Compass, they could escape calmly.

And Luo Chen also bought them enough time.

I think there won't be any accidents.

After waiting for about half an incense stick of time, Luo Chen opened his eyes in confusion from regulating his breath.

"Why haven't you arrived yet?"

Crash!

Luo Chen floated out of the sea, and looked in a certain direction with his spiritual eyes and consciousness, but there was no movement.

Strange!

The meeting place agreed with Han Zhan was here, but there was no sign of him yet.

Luo Chen's heart sank.

"It's not possible that Han Zhan forgot his loyalty and ran away!"

If that were the case, Luo Chen would be heartbroken.

At this moment, all the treasures in Han Zhan's hands belonged to Luo Chen.

The Ten Thousand Souls Banner, which had been cultivated for a long time and became more and more sharp, the Fengshen Compass, which was a must-have for home and travel, and the Demon King's remains snatched from the Black King's mouth.

Just these three things, in the increasingly turbulent North Sea Xiuxian world, millions of spirit stones could not take them down.

Especially the remains of the demon king, which is the body material of a fourth-level transformation demon beast. If it is handled well, it may be refined into some peerless treasure.

Otherwise, Luo Chen would not take the risk to take it.

Oh, yes!

And the Black King!

This black-scaled giant python, which was originally of poor aptitude, was cultivated by Kun Jiao and Luo Chen successively. Especially after taking a large amount of top-grade Emperor Liujiang, it finally tapped out its outstanding potential and has unlimited future prospects.

If it was abducted by Han Zhan, Luo Chen would have nowhere to cry!

It was only at this time that Luo Chen realized that the so-called Dao oath was not omnipotent.

The Dao oath that Han Zhan made to him only restricted Han Zhan from doing anything unfavorable to him before Luo Chen advanced to the Nascent Soul stage.

But the content of the oath did not restrict Han Zhan from leaving on his own.

For a time, Luo Chen's joy of obtaining the treasure also faded.

"No, I have to go find him."

Luo Chen checked his condition. He still had most of his mana left. Although his body was injured, it did not affect his normal combat power.

If he really encountered an enemy, he would have enough power to protect himself.

Following that direction, Luo Chen summoned a cloud of mana, activated the formation, and quietly flew along the sea.

During the flight, he always paid attention to the fluctuations of his soul.

The Black King was his spirit beast. When he enslaved him, his soul blood had been collected by him. There was a certain connection between the two.

As long as the distance was not too far, he could unilaterally sense the approximate position of the other party.

After flying for about a few minutes, the cloud suddenly stopped on the sea.

Luo Chen looked up at the sky, and a beam of light left in a hurry. The powerful aura that burst out of it was enough to be at the seventh level of the golden elixir!

In particular, that aura was quite familiar.

"It's Gu Shaoshang!"

"Why is he here, and he looks like he's running away."

Just when Luo Chen was puzzled, a whirlpool appeared in the sea ahead, and then a huge black-scaled python surfaced. Its body was thick and fat, and it had a ferocious horn on its head. If you don't look at its appearance, just the momentum, it has a bit of majestic atmosphere.

It's the Black King!

Luo Chen was delighted and withdrew the Hidden Formation.

The Black King also noticed it and swam over quickly.

"Master, the Black King has fulfilled his mission!"

As he spoke, he opened his mouth and spit out a ball of bright yellow light, which flew out and hovered above the two of them.

Just by taking a look, Luo Chen felt a sense of simplicity and heaviness.

Looking closely, he saw a tortoise shell circling inside the bright yellow light, with dense patterns on it, forming a hexagon as a whole.

Such orderly turtle back patterns are extremely rare in the world of immortality, and only those with outstanding talents can condense them.

"Is this the Demon King's remains - the Black Rock Armor?"

With one move of his hand, he got the tortoise shell.

After looking at it carefully, Luo Chen carefully put it into the storage ring, and then looked at the Black King.

"Then what happened to Gu Shaoshang?"

The Black King was a little confused, "I don't know. When I just escaped from the underwater spring, I found him blocking the outside. It was Senior Han who took action himself to scare him away."

Frightened?

While Luo Chen was confused, a scale on the Black King's back opened, and the Ten Thousand Souls Flag flew out from it.

Luo Chen took it and Han Zhan's voice reached his ears.

"That junior is quite good, and he is proficient in formations. Perhaps he, like us, saw through several hidden escape routes on Xuanyan Island, and then waited on our escape route."

"Did you have a fight with him?"

"That's not true. After all, I am a dignified Yuanying real person. How can I fight against the Jindan junior again and again? I just released a wisp of Yuanying's aura to scare him away."

I see!

Luo Chen couldn't help but nodded, but he was still a little confused. If he scared people away in one go, why did he delay for a long time.

Perhaps knowing Luo Chen's cautious temperament, Han Zhan explained a few more words.

It turns out that the Ring-headed Turtle clan also knows several ways to survive on Xuanyan Island.

After the death of the clan leader and the great elder, the corresponding ring-headed turtle demon king took the surviving clansmen to evacuate, and their road was also one of the evacuation routes.

In order to prevent the two sides from colliding with each other, Han Zhan and Hei Wang had to slow down their speed, and it took a long time before they finally left Xuanyan Island.

As soon as he came out, he met Gu Shaoshang who was waiting for help. This was the scene that Luo Chen saw when he arrived.

"Okay, this place is too close to Xuanyan Island. It's better to leave first just in case!" Luo Chen said.

"Do you want to leave the Xuanyan Sea and return to Feiyan Islands?" Han Zhan asked.

Luo Chen shook his head, "We have to process the batch of third-order demon crab materials in advance before we can go back. Otherwise, if we delay for a long time, those materials will not be suitable for brewing Black Emperor Paste."

As he spoke, he held the Ten Thousand Souls Banner in his hand with a roll of mana. Han Zhan got in at the right time and handed over the God Conferring Compass at the same time.

The Black King shrank in size and huddled under Luo Chen's magic cloud.

With a pinch of the spiritual secret, the gray magic clouds dissipated into the sky.

…

It is located on a small, soulless island tens of thousands of miles away from Xuanyan Island.

A seagull perches above.

On this day, a ray of light fell into it.

The seagull hurriedly greeted him, "Master, you are back."

"You came back ahead of us. Have any outsiders been to the Coral Trench Cave?" Luo Chen looked at Tianxuan and asked.

Tianxuan shook her head quickly, "I checked, but there was none. Even if some low-level sea monsters strayed into the coral trench, they were preyed on by the nearby blood coral, and they have not been found there yet."

Luo Chen nodded. He was not found, which meant he was still safe.

I need to go there first and deal with all the demon king crab shells, and then I’m not in a hurry to leave the basal sea area.

He asked Tianxuan to stay nearby and be wary of foreign enemies, and then Luo Chen took the Black King back to the Coral Trench.

As soon as he arrived at the Coral Trench, he took out the Fengshen Compass and prepared to rearrange the Lan Yun dense fog formation.

"You are still so careful." Han Zhan said with a smile.

While controlling the compass, Luo Chen replied casually: "It's always good to be careful when going out. Otherwise, I would have been surrounded by the Demon Spider Crab clan back on Tianxuan Island."

Once surrounded, it's not that easy to break through.

In that battle on Xuanyan Island, he broke out of the interception circle with overwhelming force, so he was well prepared.

But if someone is ambushing you in the cave, even if you use all your strength, you may not be able to escape.

If the enemy is a monster like the Demon Spider Crab that is good at sensing and blocking, it will be even more difficult to escape!

Just as he was setting it up, Han Zhan suddenly said: "Expand the range of the formation."

"Um?"

"Cover a mile of land!" Han Zhan estimated the number.

One mile of land is about five hundred meters in radius, and Luo Chen usually converts it this way.

Although he was a little confused, he still did as he was told.

In an instant, with the blessing of mana, the Conferred God Compass was filled with aura, and the formations that had been outlined before began to spread outward.

The water surges and the red mist fills the air.

The blood coral trench, which was already red, suddenly became even redder.

For those who don’t know, I thought a third-level blood coral was born here.

Just after Luo Chen expanded the area covered by the formation, Han Zhan said, "Didn't you realize that there is something extra in your Ten Thousand Soul Banner?"

Luo Chen was stunned.

He really hasn't checked this thing out yet.

Although this soul refining flag was personally sacrificed and recognized by him, it was usually controlled by Han Zhan most of the time. It can be regarded as Han Zhan's shelter and "food and shelter" for the other party.

Therefore, I usually don’t pay much attention to the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

At this moment, Luo Chen couldn't help but look surprised when his spiritual consciousness penetrated into it.

Soul!

Countless souls!

Not only the two previous ghost kings, thousands of ghost general level souls, but also tens of thousands of densely packed low-level souls.

Not only that, there are even more than a dozen remnant souls of the Demon King inside!

"What are these?" Luo Chen couldn't help but ask after half-reading.

"hehe."

Han Zhan smiled slightly, "When I was monitoring the battlefield for you, I didn't do nothing. I just collected some ownerless residual souls. It didn't take much effort."

What do you mean by not taking any effort?

Luo Chen was speechless.

For a moment, he also understood why those demons who were proficient in the soul path liked to wander around the ancient battlefield. They were all for collecting powerful souls!

Some even went further and would take the initiative to stir up trouble and control the outbreak of wars of all sizes.

Even low-level soul-refining demons have manipulated the outbreak of wars behind the scenes in ordinary countries.

There is no other reason, it's just that the benefits are too great.

On the battlefield, the bloody and murderous aura is too strong.

In that environment, any soul that can survive, even if it is just a residual soul, as long as it is well cultivated, is definitely a great weapon.

The souls collected by Han Zhan, those tens of thousands of low-level souls, are not worth mentioning for the five royal crabs, which have millions of crab soldiers and generals. But for the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, it is a great supplement of manpower.

As for the dozen or so third-level residual souls, as long as they devour each other and replenish each other in the future, perhaps several complete third-level ghost kings can be born.

By then, the power of this Ten Thousand Souls Banner will surely increase several times!

I guess this is what Han Zhan intended!

He kept a hand before, not only because he didn't want to waste the source, but also because he was in a dilemma of being a good cook without rice.

Now that the Ten Thousand Souls Banner has a foundation, he can calmly use some means in the future.

"For me, this is a good thing. I got a sharp weapon out of thin air, and I can make up for the combat power gap after losing the Xuanhuo Sword."

Luo Chen's eyebrows were full of joy.

Before he could praise Han Zhan, the other party suddenly said: "Don't you want to take a closer look?"

"Is there anything else?"

Luo Chen was curious and his consciousness probed deeper into the soul banner.

The further inside, the more souls there are. I hadn't noticed it before with a quick glance.

Now I saw that the fighting souls seemed to be gathered around one place.

When Luo Chen saw the real body of that place clearly, his face changed drastically.

"This!"

He exclaimed.

Then, his magic power surged, and the soul refining flag grew in the wind, expanding to the extreme, as long as nine feet.

Then, the soul flag opened wide, and a thing as wide as two or three feet slowly "swam out" from it.

When the thing appeared, the breath spread immediately.

The Black King, who was lying at the door of the cave, raised his head in surprise and doubt.

"Master, what is that?"

Luo Chen did not answer him, but controlled his magic power as much as possible to guide the things inside out.

One foot, two feet, three feet... until a hundred feet later, its real body was revealed.

It was a giant snake!

A hundred-foot giant snake!

The huge body, winding across the coral trench, even though it has no vitality, the remaining breath still oppresses the blood corals nearby to crawl gracefully, as if they are naturally afraid.

Looking at the scarred body of the giant snake, which looks like dead wood and charred.

Luo Chen swallowed his saliva and looked at Han Zhan.

"Cliff snake?"

Although Han Zhan's slightly illusory face was full of smiles, he also showed a bit of fatigue at this moment.

"It is the ring-headed turtle that failed to cross the tribulation. However, although it failed, it also shed its shackles and has the body of a cliff snake."

"This, this, this..."

Luo Chen sighed again and again, and couldn't help shaking his head.

"You really gave me a big surprise!"

Han Zhan said tiredly: "Although I can't help you much in fighting, this kind of trivial matter is still insignificant."

This is not a trivial matter!

A cliff snake corpse, although it has not yet transformed and failed to pass the tribulation, it is still a top-level demon king of the third level.

If it is released, there are many people willing to pay a high price to buy it.

Even if it is kept for personal use, some of the materials on it are very useful.

Selling it, Luo Chen is naturally reluctant to sell it.

But keep it for personal use?

For a moment, Luo Chen was a little confused when looking at the cliff snake corpse. How to use it properly?

Just when he was in a dilemma, he felt a rubbing on his calf.

Looking down, the Black King was rubbing against him carefully and flatteringly.

"Master, this..."

Luo Chen frowned, "This is not something you can eat."

"He can really eat it."

Luo Chen looked up and saw Han Zhan smiled.

"When I asked this little guy to take action before, I gave him some conditions, including the body of this cliff snake. Just give it to him. Anyway, this cliff snake failed to transform and was bombarded by thunder tribulation that was strengthened dozens of times. The materials on it are actually of no use to you."

The Black King also looked at Luo Chen eagerly, "Master, when I was helping you to grab the Xuanyan Armor, I was almost beaten to death by Jinzhao and others."

Luo Chen's expression kept changing, and his consciousness kept going in and out of the cliff snake.

After many inspections, he had to admit that Han Zhan had some truth.

This snake corpse, which looked no different from charcoal, had indeed lost eight or nine out of ten spirituality. Whether it was used to refine medicine or make magic tools, the effect was relatively ordinary.

After all, this was not a monster beast that was resistant to thunder attributes, but a water-attributed monster that was naturally afraid of heavenly thunder.

It was a blessing in disguise to be able to keep such a complete corpse.

In comparison, his own gains were the dozen or so corpses of the Demon Crab Kings and the Black Rock Armor that the Black King had taken away for him.

After some thought, Luo Chen retracted his reluctant gaze.

"Okay, I'll give it to you. Don't stop working after you eat it."

The Black King quickly bent his body on the ground and kept bowing to Luo Chen.

"Thank you, Master. I will work hard for you until my death!"

Heh, this guy is really speaking the human language more and more fluently.

However, seeing the desire in the Black King's eyes, Luo Chen also realized that this cliff snake corpse that failed to transform might be another great fortune for the Black King!

If the Black King becomes stronger, it will also be a great joy for his master.

So.

Luo Chen's inner depression suddenly disappeared and he smiled.

"This trip to Xuanyan Island is really fruitful. It can be called my first great harvest in history!"

Feeling comfortable, he stepped into the cave.
