Chapter – 148 Goblin Snake Beast
In the dense Demonqi of the Demon valley, the team of those five people moved forward, with Long Yu following them from a fair distance away.
Since Long Yu was very skilled at hiding himself while following his enemies, it was almost impossible for them to have discovered his presence.
“Although this Demon valley is home to various vicious beasts, it is not so easy to find a beast for hunting…..”
While following the opposite party, Long Yu realized that the situation inside the Demon valley was far from what he had expected before entering the valley. Most of the beasts living here were keeping themselves hidden and could launch a sudden sneak attack at any point of time!
Since these beasts also had the ability to sense the martial cultivation level of other creatures, humans included, if a martial expert with a strong cultivation level was to approach them, they would simply hide themselves in the lush green surroundings.
As the human martial experts could absorb the neidan of a beast after killing it in order to enhance their cultivation with the rich demonqi, in a similar fashion the beasts could also kill the human martial experts and absorb rich xuan qi from their bodies in order to enhance their cultivation levels.
Therefore, it could be concluded that the Demon valley was not a place where human martial experts would come and kill the beasts. Rather, it was a place where the humans and the beasts slaughtered each other mutually for enhancing their respective cultivation levels!
A weak human martial expert could simply not survive inside the Demon valley.
If a strong martial expert could venture deep inside the Demon valley and could stay safe and sound, it might be because the other beasts were afraid of his cultivation level and simply did not want to mess with him.
“These devil beasts have some wisdom of their own. Therefore, in order to be able to kill at least one Zhenling realm beast, it will require not just strength but also some luck…..”
Long Yu thought to himself.
The beasts of the Demon valley could not be killed so easily by the human martial experts.
However, once killed, a devil beast could not only provide with a top grade spiritual level neidan but its whole body could be used by a martial expert in order to enhance his cultivation!
This made Long Yu think deeply about this matter. If he manages to kill a devil beast, he cannot let the carcass rot there because even the carcass could help him in achieving the much-needed breakthrough!
Each body part of a devil beast could be used to compound various immortality pills which had special value for the enhancement of the cultivation.
Regarding the compounding of immortality pills, Long Yu did not have much knowledge. If he manages to kill a devil beast, he cannot carry the carcass with him. The only safe place to hide the carcass was the nine hidden dragon mark.
The nine hidden dragon mark’s storage space placed Long Yu in an advantageous position as compared to the other martial experts venturing into the Demon valley.
Preoccupied with these thoughts, Long Yu kept on following the team of five people, and now they had reached a special region inside the Demon valley. In this region, a great number of quarry stones were scattered, topped with overgrown weeds. It seemed like a complexly drawn labyrinth.
“Be careful!”
The five-member team stopped several feet away from the entrance of the stone labyrinth as if they discovered something.
“It appears to be the lair of the rock rhino beast. I cannot sense the presence of the Zhenling 4th layer leader of the rock rhino herd, but if their leader appears, we all should retreat immediately.”
They had not realized that Long Yu had followed them all this way and was now hiding in the bushes only a hundred feet away from them.
As Long Yu heard their words, his heart throbbed fast. Had the time to kill a devil beast finally arrived?
Just then he listened to a distinct loud roar which was coming from the rock labyrinth in front of them. This roar was actually containing the enormous strength of a world principle of domain level, which immediately suppressed all five people standing there!
Suddenly the beast made an appearance. It looked like a rhinoceros, but its body seemed to be made of rocks and his whole stature was bigger than the stature of two adult men combined together.
It was a fully grown adult rock rhino beast!
“It has a cultivation level of Zhenling 4th layer. It must be the leader of the herd!”
This made the eyes of those five people shine brightly with excitement!
They could clearly assess that this rock rhino beast was actually pregnant. Therefore, even though it was a Zhenling 4th layer beast, its battle efficiency was not high at that time.
On the forehead of this rock Rhino beast was a huge horn which was covered with granite-like scales. If one could kill this rock rhino, this horn would serve as a great battle weapon!
Fate had bestowed great favor upon them all!
The five people mustered their strength immediately and were ready to fight now. Although this rock rhino beast was carrying little rock rhino babies inside its belly, its battle efficiency could not be completely neglected!
Long Yu watched the happenings from his hiding place and noticed that even though those five people were ready to fight and were standing in their fighting positions, still none of them launched an attack on the rock rhino beast.
However, he soon understood the reason.
The rock rhino beast could have killed these five human martial experts with great ease by staying inside its labyrinth, but it had taken the initiative and jumped out of the labyrinth!
Long Yu just would not believe that the rock rhino had jumped out of its habitat without having some secret cards in its hand!
Since the five-member team did not have much experience, they carried themselves with great alertness. However, the attraction of this rock rhino beast was so strong that they could not think of other possibilities.
No matter what danger they had to face, they were resolute about killing this rock rhino beast and seizing its neidan as well as the horn on its forehead!
Without any further hesitation, the five people launched their attacks on the rock rhino beast. Its whole body was attacked by Zhenlings, various martial skills and charm level world laws simultaneously.
But just then, the rock rhino beast congealed its own Zhenling entity which immediately defended the beast and smashed one of the Zhenlings!
An expert lost his Zhenling in an instant and his face turned red all of a sudden.
However, it was not his fault because his team was just not strong enough to combat with this rock rhino beast.
After all, the Zhenling entity congealed by the rock rhino beast was at least ten times more powerful than the Zhenlings congealed by those five men!
(Mystique: Zhenling entity is much refined and powerful compared to a normal Zhenling. One can congeal Zhenling entity after stepping into the fourth layer of Zhenling.)
However, even if the rock rhino beast seemed formidable now, with its megalith Zhenling entity fully defending it from all the attacks, its battle efficiency was still low.
Four people from that team made the best use of this time and launched their best martial skills to attack that rock rhino beast once more.
Boom!
The sudden impact of these terrific forces shook the legs of the rock rhino beast. However, these attacks couldn’t cause any major damage to the beast as its skin was as hard as the granite rock!
Because of this hard granite skin, the body of the rock rhino beast didn’t receive any injury at all!
This granite skin was actually a defence mechanism of this rock rhino!
But just then, a sudden mournful shout reached the ears of those four people.
They were shocked to see that the expert who just lost his Zhenling a moment ago was screaming pitifully. His agonising screams pierced their ears as his face started turning blue. He fell down to the ground, clutching his chest.
“It’s a sneak attack by a Goblin Snake!”
Immediately, the four people started panicking.
The favourite attack of Goblin Snakes was to crush a human’s body to break the bones inside and then bite it, pouring the deadly poison in the veins which would soon reach the victim’s heart and kill him.
The deadly poison killed that expert within a few seconds as his face turned completely blue!
They had not expected that while they would be dealing with a rock rhino beast, a Goblin Snake would attack them unexpectedly!
They should have thought about it earlier!
Otherwise, why would the rock rhino beast take such a bold step to jump out of its labyrinth?
“Run, let’s get out of here!”
The head of that small party had been killed by the Goblin Snake just now, and the other four people were only at Zhenling 3rd layer. It was impossible for them to deal with two Zhenling 4th layer beasts at once.
Moreover, Goblin Snake was the most feared of all the beasts that dwelled inside the Demon valley!
The four people, without uttering another word, immediately fled in four different directions in order to save their lives.
However, as soon as they turned to flee from the place, the black Goblin Snake nipped the arm of one of those four people and fiercely bit him.
“Brothers, save me!”
With this cry of merely three words, his body became limp and fell down. His face started turning blue and before anyone could do something, he was dead.
Long Yu saw that the Goblin Snake had changed its direction now and was chasing the remaining three. Its speed was so high that if Long Yu had to escape from it, even the lunar wings couldn’t have helped him!
It could be imagined that there was no chance of survival at all for those three people while the Goblin Snake was chasing them down.
But this gave Long Yu a golden opportunity!
As Long Yu saw the black poisonous Goblin Snake dart away behind the three people, he now eyed the staggering rock rhino beast.
Although the granite skin defence mechanism displayed by the rock rhino beast had protected him from any external injuries, the impact of the attacks made by the five member group had infiltrated through the granite skin and seeped into its body. As a result, the beast was not able to stand properly now.
So now, Long Yu’s target was that rock rhino beast!
“Nine hidden dragon prance!”
With the nine hidden dragon prance, Long Yu covered a distance of 100 feet immediately!
Meanwhile, he bit his finger and sprinkled the blood on the tip of his Qian dragon spear, thus activating the black lines on the tip displaying Lamella touch.
The spear, containing a tyrannical strength, was now rushing towards the rock rhino monster at a tremendous speed.
The rock rhino beast responded to this attack immediately.
Although its outer appearance was gross and unwieldy, still it displayed great martial expertise. As soon as it detected the sneak attack directed towards it, it activated the granite skin defence mechanism once again.
It also congealed its megalith Zhenling entity and charged it towards the spear!
However, this reaction from the rock rhino beast was already anticipated by Long Yu.
“Now die!”
Long Yu immediately displayed his ghost flash technique. He disappeared into thin air and a moment later, re-appeared behind the rock rhino beast.
At this moment, the megalith Zhenling entity and the spear had collided with a booming sound.
The Qian dragon spear was worthy of being called a top-grade spiritual level battle weapon. Even after colliding with a strong Zhenling entity like the megalith, it wasn’t damaged one bit!
If any ordinary battle weapon had collided with the megalith, it would surely have shattered into a hundred pieces.
At this moment, without the support of its Zhenling entity, the rock rhino beast could barely withstand the martial skill bombardment displayed by Long Yu.
“Nine hidden dragon fist, Awakening palm samsara! Intoxicated hell!”
The intoxicated hell and awakening palm samsara complimented each other and made the attack more ferocious, enveloping the whole body of the rock rhino beast immediately.
The rock rhino beast was not only shocked by this powerful attack, the nine hidden dragon fist also caused its cultivation level to drop down by one level, so now its cultivation level was merely Zhenling 3rd layer.
Long Yu pounded his fist to the ground.
“Nine hidden dragon fist, burst stream!”
