Volume 1: The Beauty of Misfortune Chapter 190: Poisoning
Under Yun Che's care, although Chu Yuechan's meridians have not recovered, her physical condition has improved a lot. Her originally pale face has a faint red color. However, her whole body is still paralyzed, and only her right arm and right hand can move slightly. In this extremely dangerous place, Yun Che stayed with her every step to protect her.
Chu Yuechan should not eat too much at each meal, a small bowl of fish soup is enough. After drinking the fish soup, Chu Yuechan gently closed her eyes and leaned on Yun Che's chest, her expression was very peaceful and calm... She didn't even notice that this sense of peace was better than when she was in seclusion in the sect's secret realm.
In the past five months, she has been sleeping for most of the time, and she has been lying in Yun Che's arms for more time than sleeping. From the initial rejection, to the gradual adaptation, and then to complete habit, and after habit, it will unconsciously develop into attachment... But the concept of "attachment" is completely unknown to Chu Yuechan. Because before Yun Che, she had never been alone with any man, let alone intimate contact. But this time, they were inseparable and had been close to each other for nearly five months, which was unimaginable to Chu Yuechan in the past.
No one knew what kind of state of mind she was in when facing Yun Che at this time, not even she herself knew.
"Sleep peacefully for a while, we will be able to leave here soon. By then, all your strength will be restored." Yun Che patted Chu Yuechan's pink back, his voice was gentle as if he was coaxing a baby who was about to fall asleep.
Not long after, Chu Yuechan's breathing became even and slow, and she had fallen into a light sleep.
Yun Che put away the things at hand, stood up with Chu Yuechan in his arms, looked ahead and said: "Moli, how long have we been here?"
"Today is the 141st day." Moli answered accurately.
"... So, there is less than a month left before the Cangfeng ranking battle." Yun Che frowned, and a little anxiety rose in his heart. He promised Lan Xueruo that he would definitely go back within half a year. Now, more than five months have passed, and he is still trapped in this trial land. Five months have passed, and he has adapted to this place. To complete this level of trial, all he needs is time. But to leave here, he still needs to kill more than 10,000 mysterious beasts. These mysterious beasts cannot be killed casually. Any one of them is a real spiritual mysterious beast.
And after the second level of trial, there is still a third level of trial.
After leaving the trial land, it will take a long time to get out of the Death Wasteland. After leaving the Death Wasteland, even if he travels day and night, it will take at least five days to return to the Blue Wind Imperial City...
If he doesn't leave here as soon as possible, he will not be able to catch up with the Blue Wind ranking battle, and he will not be able to fulfill his promise to Lan Xueruo.
"It seems that we must speed up the progress. We must kill the remaining mysterious beasts within ten days at the risk of our lives!" Yun Che said with a frown.
"Ten days? Humph, what a joke! To complete the trial, you still need to kill 16,000 profound beasts. If you want to complete it in ten days, you have to kill at least 1,600 every day! You have killed an average of 600 profound beasts every day in the past five months, which is already your maximum speed. It is impossible to kill the remaining 16,000 profound beasts in ten days... If you rush forward anxiously and lose your composure, you may be killed by the profound beasts instead." Jasmine warned.
Yun Che was speechless.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, a deafening roar came from far behind him. This sound made Yun Che frown, and then secretly cursed: "Damn! Why is it this guy again? He is simply haunting me!"
After saying that, Yun Che ran away without thinking. Not long after, a huge unicorn profound beast rushed past the place where he was standing before, chasing him with a gust of wind.
Although he had stayed here for nearly five months, and spent every day fighting against profound beasts of far higher levels than himself, Yun Che's profound strength still remained at the fourth level of the True Profound Realm. It was not that his profound strength had never shown any signs of breakthrough, but that it had been suppressed by him, preventing it from breaking through. Because when his profound strength breaks through, he will be unable to move for a short period of time, and cannot be disturbed by anything, otherwise it is very easy to cause damage to the profound veins. In this endless wasteland full of dangers, not only will there be no one to protect him when he breaks through, but Chu Yuechan will also be in the same dangerous situation as him, so the breakthrough of his profound strength has been suppressed by him.
Otherwise, with his daily and nightly fighting against the level-crossing beasts, plus the full opening of the fifty-four profound gates, it would not be an exaggeration for his profound strength to be raised to the eighth level of the True Profound Realm in five months.
Although he has not broken through, the suppressed profound strength is becoming increasingly strong. Even without the four great powers, his profound strength is far beyond the ordinary fourth level of the True Profound Realm.
The beast chasing him was called Tyrant Unicorn. It was a sixth-level beast in the Spiritual Profound Realm. It had fierce strength and an extremely tough body. With the strong protection of profound force, Yun Che could hardly hurt it even with Dragon Fault. If Yun Che didn't have Chu Yuechan by his side, he could still deal with it, but he had to hold Chu Yuechan in one hand and could only hold the sword with one hand. He couldn't be the opponent of the Tyrant Unicorn even if he rode a horse.
So whenever Yun Che met this guy, he would turn around and run.
Star God Shattered Shadow was an instant body profound skill, not a long-lasting acceleration profound skill, so it couldn't greatly increase Yun Che's movement speed, but Yun Che usually carried an eight thousand jin heavy sword. When he wanted to escape, he only needed to throw the heavy sword into the Sky Poison Pearl, and he would feel that his body was so light that he almost floated up. When he ran, he was even faster. It was just a matter of minutes to get rid of the Tyrant Unicorn.
Yun Che ran at full speed ahead, the ground under his feet retreated rapidly, pulling the Tyrannical Unicorn further and further away. At this moment, Jasmine's warning voice suddenly came to his mind: "Be careful, there is a cliff ahead!"
As Jasmine's voice fell, a cliff also appeared in Yun Che's sight. He frowned, slowed down suddenly, and stepped firmly on the ground. After a long slide, he finally stopped at the edge of the cliff, but immediately, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Because looking down, this cliff was not high, less than fifty feet, he could easily jump down, and under the cliff was not a dangerous place, but a dense forest... Perhaps it would be more appropriate to say forest, because the sea of trees in front of him was connected to the sky, and even if he stood on a high place, he could not see the edge at all.
"How can there be a forest in the plain area?" Yun Che muttered casually, and was about to jump down, when suddenly, a dangerous gust of wind came from his right side.
Yun Che's eyes slanted, and his right hand stretched out like lightning, and his two fingers tightly grasped a thin and cold thing.
This was a black snake that was only half the thickness of a finger and not even as long as a long snake. Yun Che firmly grasped it by the seven inches, spitting out its pitch-black tongue and struggling painfully.
"Emperor Black Snake!" Yun Che, who knew all the poisons in the world, recognized this poisonous snake at a glance.
The Emperor Black Snake was very short and thin, and its body was fragile. If an ordinary child accidentally stepped on it, he could crush it to death. But such a fragile little snake was not only named "Emperor", but also a genuine spiritual beast! Because although it was fragile, it had extremely terrifying toxicity and speed. If it was touched by its fangs, anyone below the spiritual realm, regardless of human or beast, would die within ten breaths. Even if it was the spiritual realm, if it bit it, it would be difficult to survive for half an hour without a way to detoxify. In addition, its body was small and difficult to be discovered. When it moved, it was like a black lightning, which made it impossible for people to guard against it. Any spiritual beast, even the earthly beast, would have to take a detour when seeing it, and avoid it as much as possible.
With the Sky Poison Pearl in his hand, Yun Che would not be affected at all even if he was bitten by it. He stared at the Emperor Black Line Snake, and suddenly turned around to face the Overlord Unicorn that had already chased after him. He handed the Emperor Black Line Snake from his right hand to his left hand, and instantly sucked out all its venom with the Sky Poison Pearl. Then he threw it away, took out the Tiger Soul Sword that had not been used for a long time, and smeared the venom on the tip of the Tiger Soul Sword.
"... After the poison power of the Sky Poison Pearl disappeared, it seems that this is the first time to use poison." Looking at the tip of the Tiger Soul Sword, his mind flashed the tragic scene of the poison spreading throughout the city and corpses everywhere. His eyes dimmed quietly, and then he rushed towards the Overlord Unicorn like a gust of wind.
Seeing that this human who usually ran away when he saw it actually took the initiative to meet it this time, the Overlord Unicorn was stunned for a moment, then roared, bared its fangs, and pounced on Yun Che.
Whoosh!
The sharp claws of the Tyrant Unicorn slashed across a shadow of Yun Che. Yun Che's real body dislocated horizontally and rushed from its left side. The Tiger Soul Sword, which condensed profound energy, fiercely slashed its left side, leaving a wound about two inches long, large enough to draw blood.
Yun Che stopped, and the Tiger Soul Sword in his hand had been retracted, replaced by the Dragon Fault.
With the huge body of the Tyrant Unicorn, this injury was not a big deal. The Tyrant Unicorn, which had pounced in vain, turned around, opened its huge mouth, and pounced again, but just halfway through, its front legs suddenly tilted, and its entire body fell heavily to the ground, and then began to twitch. It kept stomping on the ground with all four limbs, but it could not stand up no matter what. Gradually, it began to let out bursts of painful roars from its mouth... Drops of dark blood slowly flowed out of that small wound.
Yun Che rushed forward and smashed its profound energy defense, which was already fragile under the erosion of the poison, with one sword, and then blasted its head with seven or eight swords in a row until it was silent.
"I don't know when the poison of the Sky Poison Pearl can be restored." Yun Che couldn't help but sigh. Relying on a little bit of poison, he almost effortlessly killed the Tyrant Unicorn that could only escape before. He knew better than anyone how terrible the poison was. At the age of less than 30, he was able to survive for seven years in the pursuit of the whole continent, relying on the poison of the Sky Poison Pearl. Under the Sky Poison of the Sky Poison Pearl, countless strong men who were many times stronger than Yun Che, even peerless strong men, died in his hands.
"If the poison of the Sky Poison Pearl is still there, in this trial ground, with the Sky Poison spreading, let alone 99,999 mysterious beasts, even if it is ten times more, they can all be poisoned to death overnight." Yun Che said with great emotion.
As a mysterious treasure, the Sky Poison Pearl's heaven-defying ability is more than just tempering.
Wait... Sky Poison spreading?
Yun Che suddenly perked up and looked towards the boundless forest below the cliff. After a while, he slowly laughed.
"Jasmine, do you believe it or not? If we are lucky, we can leave this place today."
