Chapter five hundred and seventy-four: Demon Blood Gulian
Jiang Fengxian's colorful peacock is also a wild and exotic species. It has a trace of phoenix blood. In terms of combat ability, it is not inferior to Zhou Yang's golden-winged thunder eagle.
At this time, after leaving Jiang Fengxian's cave with Zhou Yang, this beautiful big bird, which had been imprisoned for nearly a hundred years, suddenly started to have fun.
Sometimes it screams with excitement and loudness; sometimes it flies up into the sky and stops climbing until it reaches the bottom of the strong wind layer thousands of feet high; sometimes it flutters down and suddenly lands on a tall tree.
Go to the fruit tree and peck at the spiritual fruits on the tree.
That is to say, Zhou Yang's physical body is strong and his adaptability is extremely strong, so he was not tormented by it like this.
But he no longer wanted to play such exciting games with this bird, so after riding the bird for a while, he released his golden-winged thunder eagle and switched to this big golden bird.
The colorful peacock had also met the golden-winged thunder eagle before, and they even had a fight with each other.
At this time, when it saw Zhou Yang suddenly abandoning itself to take the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle, it immediately became angry and couldn't help but let out a loud "ouch" at Zhou Yang and the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle.
Zhou Yang couldn't understand the birdsong. Although he saw the annoyance of the colorful peacock, he pretended not to pay attention to it.
But the golden-winged thunder eagle couldn't stand the stimulation. It immediately scanned the colorful peacock with its hawk's eyes, then flapped its wings and released a golden lightning bolt towards the opponent.
The colorful peacock didn't seem to expect that the golden-winged thunder eagle would take action immediately. Before he could react, he was struck by the golden lightning.
Fortunately, the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle also knew that the colorful peacock was not an enemy, and the lightning did not use all its strength. Therefore, the colorful peacock did not suffer any serious injuries except for a large piece of feathers being scorched by the lightning.
But the fact that its gorgeous feathers were burnt made the colorful peacock even more angry than being injured, so it quickly roared back in anger. With a sweep of its long tail, it swept out a five-color spiritual light towards the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle.
.
The five-color aura of the colorful peacock combines the power of the five elements. When used for attack, it can disrupt the flow of mana in the enemy's body and make his mana chaotic. When used for defense, it can greatly weaken the power of the enemy's spell. It is a kind of offense and defense.
All have powerful magical powers.
However, the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle is not a five-element monster, but a thunder-attribute monster, and the five-color aura has little effect on it.
After being swept by the five-color spiritual light of the colorful peacock, it just stiffened slightly, paused, and then the golden electric light crackled all over its body to dispel the discomfort. Then it let out a proud eagle cry and quickly weaved a golden grid cover.
Towards the colorful peacock.
But the colorful peacock was on guard this time, and the five-color aura on its body shone brightly, forming a five-color shield to protect itself, easily blocking the attack of the golden grid.
But just when it was about to continue to use other means to counterattack, the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle suddenly stopped playing with it and directly turned into a golden lightning and left the place.
When the colorful peacock saw this, he naturally refused to give up. He immediately transformed into a ray of colorful rays of light and chased after the golden lightning in front of him.
In terms of combat power, the colorful peacock may not be inferior to the golden-winged thunder eagle, but in terms of speed, the golden-winged thunder eagle is far superior to it.
If Zhou Yang hadn't deliberately ordered the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle to drive at only 80% speed, I am afraid that within an hour, the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle would have been able to throw it out of sight.
After chasing for tens of thousands of miles, probably because he felt it was boring, the colorful peacock took the initiative to slow down its flight speed and gave up.
Seeing this, Zhou Yang couldn't really leave it alone, so he made the Golden Winged Thunder Eagle slow down a bit.
There are many powerful monsters and wild beasts in the wild jungle, but the aura of Zhou Yang's golden elixir monk has not been concealed. In addition, the two birds are very fast, so many monsters and wild beasts even see them passing by their territory.
, and I have no intention of attacking.
However, on this day, Zhou Yang, who was riding a golden-winged thunder eagle and passing by the edge of a certain mountain range, suddenly heard the roars of various beasts and birds coming from deep within the mountains.
It's not surprising that there are roars of birdsong and beasts in the mountains, but the roars of birdsong and beasts are so dense all of a sudden, and the sounds are full of impatience, which is a bit unusual.
More importantly, when Zhou Yang sat down, the golden-winged thunder eagle and the colorful peacock flying not far away stopped flying uneasily after hearing the roars of these birds and beasts, and circled and danced in the air and whispered to him.
stand up.
"You want me to take you there?"
Zhou Yang looked at the two spiritual birds with eyes full of expectation, pointed thoughtfully to the depths of the mountains and asked.
Hearing his words, the two birds immediately nodded in unison, then looked at each other again, let out an angry cry of disapproval, shook their heads, and stopped looking at each other with great pride.
Seeing this situation, Zhou Yang couldn't help but shook his head, and then warned with a stern face: "You can take me there, but you must obey my command in everything. Anyone who dares to act without permission will be punished when he returns."
I have been locked up in the spirit beast ring for thirty years, and I won’t be able to come out even for a moment!”
For the two birds who yearn for the sky and freedom, a spirit animal ring that only allows them to spread their wings slightly and walk around a few times is definitely the last place they want to stay.
Not to mention thirty years, if they had a choice, they wouldn't want to stay even for three days.
So when they heard Zhou Yang's warning, they all shrank their necks and nodded repeatedly to express their understanding.
So, Zhou Yang immediately took two birds and flew towards the place deep in the mountains where the roars of beasts and birds were heard.
After flying six to seven hundred miles in this way, Zhou Yang, standing on the back of the golden-winged thunder eagle, used the magical power of "Lihuo Golden Eyes" to see clearly the situation in the distance.
In a valley basin hundreds of miles away, I saw a budding blood-red lotus blooming slowly in a blood pool filled with the blood of monsters and beasts.
And around the blood pool, which was more than a hundred feet wide, there were already thousands of monsters and savage beasts gathered in a dense crowd.
These monster beasts, the weak ones are only at the second level, and the powerful ones are at the fifth level. Regardless of whether they are weak or powerful, they are all staring at the bloody red lotus in bud in the blood pool with scarlet eyes.
It is the color of greed.
"It turns out to be the [Ancient Demon Blood Lotus], no wonder it attracts so many monsters and savage beasts to gather here!"
Zhou Yang withdrew his gaze and murmured to himself the origin of the bloody red lotus with his eyes twinkling.
[Ancient Demon Blood Lotus] is an extremely special fifth-level spiritual object. It only has an effect on demonic beasts and savage beasts. It can help demonic beasts purify their blood and improve their cultivation strength.
This kind of spiritual object is no different from ordinary spiritual lotus at ordinary times. Only when it matures, will it emit a unique fragrance, attracting monsters and wild beasts to gather around it.
The strange fragrance emitted by [Ancient Demon Blood Lotus] when it matures can confuse the intelligence of demonic beasts and wild beasts, causing them to kill each other. The dead demon beasts and brutal beasts covered in blood are the mature and evolved form of [Ancient Demon Blood Lotus]
The best resources.
The blood pool in Zhou Yang's sight had swallowed up the bloody corpses of many demonic beasts and savage beasts before he arrived.
Even now, there are many low-level monsters. The savage beasts couldn't resist the temptation and couldn't help but step into the blood pool. Then they fought in the blood pool to fight for the ownership of the [Demon Blood Ancient Lotus]. In the end, they themselves became
He got the nourishment for the [Demon Blood Ancient Lotus] to bloom.
However, high-level demonic beasts and savage beasts are extremely resistant to the strange fragrance emitted by [Demon Blood Ancient Lotus], so they will not be lured into the fight.
But Zhou Yang knew that this kind of restraint would still be effective before the [Ancient Demon Blood Lotus] matured. When the [Ancient Demon Blood Lotus] matured, these high-level demonic beasts and high-level barbaric beasts would fight desperately for this spiritual piece.
things.
If a fourth-level high-grade monster can eat the [Demon Blood Ancient Lotus], it will most likely be promoted to a fifth-order monster. If a fifth-order monster eats the [Demon Blood Ancient Lotus], it will also have the opportunity to directly increase its strength to a small level.
Faced with such a great temptation, no monster could be able to endure it, including the golden-winged thunder eagle and colorful peacock that Zhou Yang sat down on.
"Be honest with me!"
"I will take action to stop those fifth-level demonic beasts and savage beasts later depending on the situation. Which of the two of you can finally win the [Demon Blood Ancient Lotus] depends on your own ability."
"But one thing I hope you will keep in mind is that no matter who gets the [Demon Blood Ancient Lotus] first, the other party must not fight for it anymore, and must help the other party to stop other competitors from snatching it."
"Whoever dares to violate these two points, I will pluck all the feathers from his body and make him lose all his feathers within a hundred years!"
On the back of the golden-winged thunder eagle, Zhou Yang looked coldly at the two restless spiritual birds, and issued a warning and threat to them in advance with a sharp tone.
He would naturally help the two spirit birds compete for the opportunity to advance to the fifth level, but he would never allow two spirit birds to fight in their nest. This was his bottom line.
Whoever dares to break his bottom line will never be spared.
The two spiritual birds were both very intelligent. After hearing his stern words of warning, their restless hearts quickly calmed down, and they nodded silently, accepting his warning.
Next, Zhou Yang and the two spiritual birds waited more than a hundred miles away, without rushing forward, lest those high-level monsters and savage beasts feel threatened and join forces to drive him out in advance.
After waiting like this for half a day, by the time it got dark at dusk, less than a thousand of the thousands of monster beasts surrounding the blood pool were left.
But the [Demon Blood Ancient Lotus] in the blood pool still has several petals that have not opened.
At this moment, several fifth-level monsters and savage beasts that had been watching quietly suddenly took action.
roar!
A giant tiger with red hair suddenly raised its head and let out a roar. Suddenly, dozens of third-level monsters gathered around the blood pool. The beasts were directly shocked by the terrifying sound waves, and their blood vessels burst on the spot.
He fell to the ground dead.
At the same time, a black-haired giant ape with a height of more than seventy feet stretched out his hand as wide as a house and slapped a group of third-order demon wolves gathered in the air, and a powerful force was exerted on them through the air.
On those demon wolves, twenty or thirty demon wolves were all beaten into mincemeat on the spot.
Then a white-feathered monster bird with a wingspan of more than thirty feet swooped down, its wings spread out like two pairs of scissors, and flew around the blood pool for several times, killing all the hundreds of third-level monsters.
Cut into several pieces.
The actions of these three fifth-level monsters and savages were like some kind of signal, and soon the fourth-order monsters and savages followed suit and slaughtered many third-order monsters and savages.
The blood of the corpses of these slaughtered monster beasts will be attracted by a strange force to flow into the blood pool, eventually becoming the nourishment for the [Demon Blood Ancient Lotus] to bloom.
After almost all the third-level monster beasts were slaughtered, there were still two petals of the [Demon Blood Ancient Lotus] in the center of the pool that had not yet bloomed.
Seeing this scene, those fourth-level monsters and beasts suddenly became frightened, and a few of the weaker monsters and beasts immediately turned around and ran away, trying to escape.
But as soon as they made a move, the attacks of several fifth-level monster beasts fell on them.
After killing as many as nine fourth-order monster beasts in this way, the [Demon Blood Ancient Lotus] fully bloomed.
roar!
The red flame giant tiger roared, and the tiger took the lead and rushed towards the [Demon Blood Ancient Lotus].
Its whole body was burning with blazing red flames, and like a huge red meteor, it landed on the blood pool in the blink of an eye.
But just as it opened its bloody mouth towards the [Ancient Demon Blood Lotus], a huge black iron fist as big as a house suddenly hit its waist, sending it flying away on the spot.
The black giant ape knocked away the red flame giant tiger with one punch, and fished the bloody red lotus in the blood pool directly with the other hand.
But when its palm was about to touch the bloody red lotus, a white sword energy suddenly fell from the sky and struck its outstretched palm fiercely.
Ouch~
A scream sounded from the mouth of the black giant ape. The palm it stretched out towards the bloody red lotus was actually cut off in half by the white sword!
The master who released the white sword energy, the white-feathered monster bird, took advantage of the black giant ape's pain to retract his palm, and turned into a white stream of light that flew through the air and rushed toward the bloody red lotus.
But as soon as it flew over the blood pool, a huge red fireball struck it first, blowing it away with a "bang".
But the red flame giant tiger with blood bleeding from the corner of his mouth came back to kill him again!
In this way, the three fifth-level monster beasts refused to give in to anyone and started fighting over the ownership of the [Demon Blood Ancient Lotus].
They were very measured in their attacks. No matter how fierce they were, they controlled their power so as not to hurt the [Ancient Demon Blood Lotus].
Even if the aftermath of some fights occasionally overflowed, it would only cause the bloody red lotus to sway slightly, without actually hurting the spiritual creature.
And when the three fifth-level monsters and beasts were fighting, those fourth-level monsters and beasts were also ready to move. Some impatient ones saw an opportunity and wanted to take advantage of it, so they suddenly rushed over and prepared to grab the [demon blood].
Gu Lian] ran away.
Any demonic beast that does this will be blasted to pieces by the concentrated fire of three fifth-level demonic beasts.
And after the bodies of these dead high-level monsters fell into the blood pool, the bloody red lotus became even more vivid.
Zhou Yang, who was watching the battle from a distance, narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw this situation. He was about to take action, but temporarily gave up the idea.
Regarding the spiritual object [Demon Blood Ancient Lotus], he had only seen relevant introductions in the classics, and his understanding of it came entirely from the records in the classics.
But in fact, due to the harsh conditions for the birth of this kind of spiritual creature, it is basically only possible to be born and mature in places where monsters and beasts are densely concentrated, such as the wild jungle and the Duanyun Mountains.
A mature [Demon Blood Ancient Lotus] was born in such a place, not to mention whether any immortal cultivators could discover it in time when it was born. Even if someone like him happened to discover this thing by chance at this point in time, he might not be able to
Seize food from the jaws of a group of monsters and beasts.
Therefore, in the world of immortal cultivation, there may be many monks who know about spiritual objects such as the [Demon Blood Ancient Lotus], but there are very few monks who truly understand the details of this spiritual object, at least Zhou Yang doesn't know much about it.
Therefore, when he saw that the [Ancient Demon Blood Lotus] was already in full bloom and could actually absorb the essence and blood of the corpses of monsters and beasts to grow, he was surprised and at the same time couldn't help but want to see how far it could grow.
The three fifth-level monsters and beasts actually discovered the situation of the [Demon Blood Ancient Lotus], but at this time they were in no mood to kill those fourth-level monsters and beasts to continue nourishing this spiritual creature.
Because the current [Demon Blood Ancient Lotus] is enough to greatly increase their strength, and none of them want to miss the opportunity to obtain this spiritual object by killing those fourth-level monster beasts.
In this way, as time went by, the three fifth-level monsters and savage beasts also used real fire, and tried their best to attack each other with various powerful methods, and each of them began to lose their glory and bleed.
After the blood they shed falls to the ground, it will be absorbed by the [Demon Blood Ancient Lotus], making this spiritual object bloom even more beautifully.
After fighting like this all night, the black giant ape, as a savage beast, couldn't hold on anymore.
During the battle that night, as a savage beast, it was repeatedly attacked by two fifth-level monsters with concentrated fire. The situation was not miserable.
If it weren't for the fact that the two fifth-level monsters had different opinions and wanted to eat the [Ancient Demon Blood Lotus] whenever they had the opportunity, I'm afraid it would have been torn alive by the two monsters.
But even so, it barely managed to hold on until dawn, but it lost too much blood and could no longer hold on, so it began to think about retreating.
The red flame giant tiger and the white-feathered demon bird did not stop the black giant ape from retreating. Their target was the [Demon Blood Ancient Lotus], not this fifth-level savage beast.
If the other party retreats, they will lose a strong competitor, so they will naturally be less troublesome.
But when Zhou Yang, who had been watching the battle, saw this situation, he finally took action.
He did not rush to fight for the [Ancient Demon Blood Lotus], but followed the black giant ape away. After waiting hundreds of miles away from the blood pool, he used all his means to intercept and kill the fifth-level savage beast.
When the black giant ape was at its peak, its strength was not inferior to that of a fifth-level high-grade monster. It was really not easy for Zhou Yang to kill it.
After all, it can still escape even if it can't defeat Zhou Yang. With the powerful vitality of the fifth-level savage beast, it is really difficult for Zhou Yang to kill it with one strike.
But now after a night of fighting, its strength is less than half of its heyday. How can it be the opponent of Zhou Yang who is waiting for work.
The battle lasted for less than a quarter of an hour. Zhou Yang used the "Taiyin Zanpakutō" to chop off the head of the black giant ape, then opened its chest and took out the most precious beast's heart.
The heart of a fifth-level savage beast is much more valuable than a fifth-level demon elixir, because the demon elixir is easy to obtain, but the savage beast is difficult to find.
This beast's heart can even be used as the main ingredient in some life-extending elixirs, and it is no exaggeration to say it is worth millions.
Because of some plans in his heart, after Zhou Yang took the heart of the beast, he did not touch other parts of the black giant ape's body. Instead, he used his magic power to lift it up and flew to the blood pool with the two spiritual birds.
.
The black giant ape, which is dozens of feet tall, weighs as much as a 100-foot mountain. If Zhou Yang hadn't been a Golden Core monk, he would not have been able to use his magical power to hold his body and fly like this.
After flying hundreds of miles like this, Zhou Yang directly entered the battlefield, and under the angry and frightened eyes of the two fifth-level monsters, he threw the black giant ape's body into the blood pool.
Suddenly, due to the fall of this huge object, the bloody water in the blood pool suddenly rose several feet higher.
According to Zhou Yang's induction, as soon as the black giant ape's body fell into the blood pool, the blood essence in his body was absorbed by a strange force and rushed towards the [Demon Blood Ancient Lotus].
It can be clearly seen that after receiving the corpse of this fifth-level beast as nourishment, the flower core at the center of the bloody red lotus began to fall off visibly to the naked eye, and the baby shapes of lotus seeds grew.
"Yes, since there are lotus flowers, of course there are lotus seeds!"
"I wonder what effect the lotus seeds will have if they are allowed to mature!"
Zhou Yang looked at the baby-shaped lotus seeds bulging on the bloody red lotus with bright eyes, his eyes full of surprise and expectation.
His intuition told him that if those lotus seeds could be matured, the efficacy of the lotus seeds might no longer be the same as that of lotus flowers, which only had an effect on monsters.
The two fifth-level demonic beasts also saw the changes in the [Demon Blood Ancient Lotus]. When they first saw this change, their eyes also showed surprise, and they obviously understood that the role of lotus seeds would definitely be greater than that of lotus flowers.
But when they thought that the appearance of the lotus seeds was conceived from the essence of the black giant ape, they immediately came back to their senses and looked at Zhou Yang with shocked and angry eyes, guessing what he was thinking.
"It seems that you have already guessed it, but it doesn't matter. If you are afraid of death, you can escape now, or let me pick up an [Ancient Demon Blood Lotus] for nothing."
Zhou Yang had a joking smile on his face, and the words in his mouth made the two fifth-level monsters furious.
They fought desperately all night and finally drove away a competitor. How could they tolerate Zhou Yang, a human with no strength at all, to pick the fruits of victory?
roar!
The giant red flame tiger roared, and a huge red flame fireball spit out from its mouth, slamming into Zhou Yang, directly responding to Zhou Yang's words with actual actions.
The white-feathered demon bird was not willing to retreat. It also vibrated its wings and slashed at Zhou Yang with two white sword auras.
At this moment, facing the threat of Zhou Yang, a human monk, the two fifth-level monsters who had previously been fighting to the death finally put aside their grudges temporarily and chose to join forces to fight against the enemy.
Seeing this, Zhou Yang calmly ordered the two spiritual birds behind him: "Go kill those fourth-level monsters, remove their demon pills, and throw their bodies into the blood pool.
"
Then he stood up to fight two fifth-level monsters.
