Chapter 295: Subduing the Purple-Striped Scorpion, the Remains of the Ancient Monk
It is not a wise move to offend Ye Changsheng in the Demon Valley. No matter which of these three people, no one wants to be targeted by Ye Changsheng here.
So, after some quick thinking, Nanlong Hou and Xuanjizi immediately laughed and said, "Since Brother Ye is so sincere, how can we refuse?"
Han Li suddenly thought and sent a voice message to Ye Changsheng: "Brother Ye, I can help you, but I don't need you to give up the 20% of the treasures. How about I help you today and repay you a favor?"
Han Li owed Ye Changsheng two favors, and this debt had always made him feel uneasy. Today, he seized the opportunity to pay it back and repay the favor first.
Ye Changsheng frowned when he heard this, thinking to himself that it is not so easy to repay a favor.
Han Li is a guy who is quite good at seizing opportunities. Ye Changsheng doesn't want him to repay this favor so easily.
However, he changed his mind and realized that he would need Han Li's help to enter Lingmiao Garden soon, so this could be considered a great advantage for him.
In that case, let him return the favor. This way, neither side will be at the expense of the other.
After thinking about this for a while, Ye Changsheng smiled and said, "Okay, as long as you help me subdue these poisonous insects, I'll repay you with a favor!"
Hearing Ye Changsheng's words, Han Li was first delighted, and then felt relieved.
It was as if a huge stone pressing on my heart had been removed.
Dozens of small flags of different colors appeared in Ye Changsheng's hands. At the same time, he looked at the three people, his expression suddenly became cold, and he said grimly:
"Since the three Taoist friends have already promised me, I'll be frank with you. If any of you dare not put in your best efforts and this fails, don't blame me for being rude!"
Hearing his words, Nanlong Hou and Xuanjizi were both shocked and their faces turned stiff.
From what Ye Changsheng said, if he failed to subdue these poisonous insects, he would vent his anger on the three of them.
After thinking about Ye Changsheng's fighting power and might, the two of them suddenly felt that his threatening words were very powerful, so they quickly put aside all their previous thoughts.
With a smile on his face, he quickly said, "How could that be? Don't worry, Brother Ye, we will do our best to help you!"
Han Li also immediately expressed his opinion: "Junior brother will do his best to help you!"
"Okay, in that case, thank you all my fellow Taoists!" Ye Changsheng's gloomy expression immediately changed, and he said with a sunny smile.
He started to get busy, setting up the formation around him, and then handed the three small flags that controlled the formation to the other three people.
Then, he placed the Green Dove Poison in the formation, and he, Han Li, Nanlong Hou and the other four people immediately dispersed.
An extremely pungent smell spread to the surrounding hills. Ye Changsheng and the other four hid without a trace. Not long after, a wave of unusual movements was heard from the distant hills.
A few noisy strange noises were heard. Upon hearing these noises, the true energy in Ye Changsheng's body immediately became agitated. Han Li, Nanlong Hou and others also shook, and were almost exposed from their hiding places.
Everyone was startled. This flying purple-striped scorpion was indeed a bit strange. It actually avoided the spiritual sense and directly attacked people's true energy.
No wonder Xuanjizi is so wary of him.
Just as everyone was muttering to themselves, suddenly from the distant hilltop, a dark purple light of about thirteen or fourteen years old flew straight towards this side.
They were so fast that it was almost impossible to capture their shapes, but in a quick glance, everyone still saw the specific appearance of these flying purple-striped scorpions.
These purple-striped scorpions are incredibly large, each one is about ten feet in length, shiny dark purple all over and have a pair of transparent wings.
However, the scorpion flying in the front was much larger than its peers, and was as long as two meters. It seemed to be the leader of this group of scorpions.
Seeing his ferocious appearance with yellow mist coming out of his mouth, Han Li and others' pupils shrank slightly, and they felt very afraid.
The aura of the two purple-striped scorpions in the lead is probably approaching that of a divine beast, and their strength is definitely at the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage.
This group of purple-striped scorpions is extremely powerful. If we could subdue them all, we would be invincible.
Nanlong Hou and others had the same thought at the same time. They felt quite unwilling to see these purple-striped scorpions being taken away by Ye Changsheng, but they didn't know how to say anything now.
They all dared not to work idly, otherwise if they failed, Ye Changsheng would most likely take his anger out on them.
So, when all the dozen or so purple-striped scorpions flew into the range of the formation, the four of them moved at the same time.
Four small flags were waved at the same time, and four kinds of light, gold, green, red and black, suddenly rushed out of the formation and gathered into a huge ball of light flashing with four colors, wrapping the fourteen purple-striped scorpions in it.
These purple-striped scorpions immediately noticed something was wrong and roared, turning into dark purple rays of light that hit the light shield.
The light shield suddenly trembled violently. Nanlong Hou and others saw this and hurriedly increased their magic power input to suppress it.
The light shield gradually shrank smaller and smaller, and the purple-striped scorpions were trapped inside and unable to break out.
Even their indestructible tail needles could not break the formation. Before long, thin ropes stretched out from the formation and tied up the purple-striped scorpions tightly.
Seeing this, Ye Changsheng hurriedly presided over the formation and took out a dozen silver talismans.
After sticking a piece of this talisman on each of the purple-striped scorpions, they instantly became soulless and lay there motionless.
Then, Ye Changsheng took out a jade box, and in front of the envious looks of Nanlong Hou, Han Li and others, he put the purple-striped scorpions into the jade boxes one by one, and then pasted talismans on the jade boxes one by one.
Under the protection of numerous prohibitions, Ye Changsheng was able to collect the purple-striped scorpions with confidence. He then put away the formation and bowed to the three people, saying, "Thank you three Taoist friends for your help!"
Han Li and the others were extremely envious. Watching Ye Changsheng gain so many powerful helpers, they felt mixed emotions .
Nan Long Hou forced a smile, cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, Brother Ye. Once you have subdued these fourteen purple-striped scorpions, Brother Ye will truly be invincible in the world!"
“Haha, Brother Nanlong, you’re joking. Without a divine consciousness at the level of the God Transformation Realm, it would be difficult to forcibly subdue these purple-striped scorpions. Whether I can succeed is another matter!”
“Moreover, even if we can really tame one or two of them, it doesn’t mean we can be invincible. After all, the world is so big, and there are endless hidden masters!” Ye Changsheng said with a laugh.
Hearing this, Nanlong Hou and others obviously did not believe it. They just regarded it as Ye Changsheng's humble words.
"Let's go. Now that we have dealt with these purple-striped scorpions, it's time for us to go and see the fire toad!" Ye Changsheng said with a smile.
He did not want to dwell on this topic too much. The other three people saw this scene and forced a smile, so everyone walked towards the valley ahead.
As they moved forward, soon a huge red peak several thousand feet high appeared in front of them.
When Nanlong Hou, who was leading the way, saw the huge peak, his escape light paused and his figure stopped.
"My fellow Taoists, the cave under the mountain ahead is the nest of the fire toad. The remains of the ancient monk are in this nest. It is said that the beast's spiritual perception is not weak, so we should stop and discuss it first." Nanlong Hou pointed to the mountain ahead and said with a serious expression.
Hearing this, everyone was cheered up. After walking for such a long time, they finally arrived.
When he sent his spiritual sense over there, he saw that there was indeed a large fiery red cave at the bottom of the giant peak, with gusts of hot wind blowing out from time to time.
Nanlong Hou turned around and looked at everyone and said, "According to Master Cangkun, almost half of the Fire Toad's lair is built in lava. No matter how seriously injured the beast is, as long as it jumps into the lava, it will recover immediately."
"It would be better for us to set up a magic circle first, lure it out, and then take action against it!" suggested Nanlong Hou.
Naturally, no one would object to this, so they immediately began to set up the formation and prepare means of lure.
Not long after, a huge toad three meters wide and five or six meters long rushed over with great momentum, lured by several of Han Li's puppets, and its skin, which was shining like fire, emitted waves of heat.
"Get started!"
When it rushed into the range of the formation, a loud shout was heard, and then the four of them took action one after another, using various magic weapons to attack the fire toad.
Ordinary magic weapons have no effect on this fire toad, let alone being unable to hurt it.
Even if it is injured, a red light will immediately emerge from the body of this ancient monster, and then the injury will slowly disappear.
"Immortal body!"
Xuanjizi exclaimed, looking at the wound on the fire toad that was healing automatically, with an ugly expression.
Ye Changsheng used a sword energy to cut off one of the fire toad's legs. Immediately, a scream was heard, and the fire toad twitched and fell to the ground.
Then Ye Changsheng immediately clenched his hands, and a ball of blue flame appeared from his hands. It rushed out and instantly wrapped around the fire toad.
In an instant, the ancient fire toad that had been so powerful just now was frozen in blue crystals in the blink of an eye, unable to move at all.
Ye Changsheng clapped his hands, walked forward and knocked on the ice crystal. In an instant, the body of the fire toad shattered and a thumb-sized red ball flew out of it.
The Fire Toad's Inner Pill is obtained!
His decisive and efficient approach made Nanlong Hou and others feel cold in their hearts.
This fire toad was so tricky, but he killed it easily. Such strength is really frightening.
The attitudes of these people couldn't help but become more respectful.
Nan Longhou chuckled and said, "This time we were able to kill the fire toad so easily, thanks to Brother Ye's help. Now let's go take a look at the remains of the ancient monk!"
"Let's go!" Ye Changsheng put away the fire toad's inner elixir and said lightly.
Then, everyone collected the nearby magic circle and headed towards the cave under the giant peak.
Four shocking rainbows arrived at the entrance of the fire toad's nest in an instant and flew in without stopping.
After entering, a lava lake appeared in front of us. The fire toad before lived in this lava lake.
Around the lake was a reddish rock ground, with a few flashes of green on it. It turned out that some spiritual herbs were growing on it, which immediately surprised everyone.
Ye Changsheng noticed that Han Li, Nanlong Hou and others were looking at those spiritual herbs. Obviously, everyone felt that the spiritual herbs that could grow in such a place must be extraordinary.
Especially for someone like Han Li who was very interested in various medicinal herbs, he carefully identified each spiritual herb.
But soon, everyone's eyes shifted away from these spiritual herbs and looked at a stone platform opposite the lava lake.
This stone platform is obviously very old. Although there are many runes carved around the platform, the four corners of the platform have long been corroded and dilapidated.
In the center of the stone platform, there was the remains of a monk wrapped in a green robe, lying there quietly.
The remains had long since turned into a pile of bones, but each of these bones was surprisingly translucent and as clear as crystal, which was really weird.
After seeing the remains, Nanlong Hou and others were immediately surprised!
"It seems that this is the remains that Master Cangkun mentioned. Fellow Taoists, let's go there together." Nanlong Hou put away the smile on his face and remained calm.
Everyone nodded when they heard this, and then immediately flew over the lava lake and directly to the stone platform opposite.
"Huh!" A hint of surprise appeared on Xuanjizi's face.
Nanlong Hou and Han Li also had strange expressions on their faces, and everyone's eyes turned to the robe on the corpse.
When their spiritual consciousness was reaching out to the skeleton, a green light burst out from the robe and bounced their spiritual consciousness away.
"This robe is a little strange ." Xuan Jizi stared at the robe and murmured.
Nan Longhou took a closer look and said calmly, "It's nothing, just a green silk robe."
Ye Changsheng's eyes flickered, and he also said: "This is a kind of robe woven from the silk of ancient spiritual silkworms. It can resist the detection of cultivators' spiritual consciousness. Although it is a rare item in the current world of immortal cultivation, it is said that it was common in ancient times."
He grabbed the robe and tore it into several pieces. Ye Changsheng grabbed one of the pieces and said calmly, "There is really nothing special about this robe!"
Seeing that this thing was destroyed so easily by Ye Changsheng, Xuan Jizi no longer paid attention to it. It seemed that this thing was indeed common as Ye Changsheng said.
Han Li, on the other hand, twitched his eyes slightly, glanced at the piece of clothing in Ye Changsheng's hand for a few seconds, and said nothing.
With his divine sense, he could see what was hidden in the fragment, but since it had already been caught by Ye Changsheng, Han Li naturally couldn't say anything.
After Ye Changsheng tore off the robe, a black storage bag appeared on the corpse.
The four people present entered the Demon Valley, and the nominal target finally appeared.
