Chapter 1733 1237: This Old Man's Got Some Skills
Amidst a fierce blizzard, a white figure suddenly soared out from the depths of the snow mountain.
It was a Warcraft Zhang Menglong had never seen before, its body resembling a gigantic eagle, but with a horned head and a massive dragon tail! Its body was adorned with white feathers, seemingly made of pure ice crystals, reflecting a kaleidoscope of colors in the sunlight.
The Warcraft's body exceeded 200 meters in length, exuding a particularly savage aura. Zhang Menglong could sense that its power was similar to Gu Xiao's current body, meaning this Warcraft was a Body Refinement expert among Warcrafts!
Warcrafts' bodies were inherently much more formidable than humans, coupled with the long-term tempering by the icy temperatures here, its physical strength was terrifying! Moreover, this place is the single occurrence location of Cold Marrow Jade Dew; it's clearly here for this substance. Not only can it help humans refine their bodies, its effects are also significant on Warcrafts.
Therefore, the physical qualities of this Warcraft have likely reached an extremely terrifying level.
"Gou Dan, what level of strength do the old man and this Warcraft have?"
[Dean, this Warcraft is probably only a Level One Ultimate Lifeform. The old man, he's already a Level Two Ultimate Lifeform.]
"Old man, can you handle it?" Zhang Menglong looked worriedly at the old man, knowing that ordinary martial artists already struggle to defeat Warcrafts of the same level, especially since this Warcraft is a level higher and unusually special. Zhang Menglong couldn't help but sweat a bit for him.
"Never ask a man if he can do it," the old man instantly unleashed a power and aura completely different from his seemingly unassuming exterior. This force wasn't explosively external like the Warcraft; it was more humble, mysterious, containing profound insights.
"Young man, I'll stall it, but can only hold on for half an hour; it's too cold here, I need to expend a lot of energy and effort to fend off the cold, at most, I can fight it evenly!"
The old man muttered while speaking, "In another place, within an hour, I could twist its head off to use as a toilet!"
"Stop bragging, if you have real skills, show them fast!" Zhang Menglong quickly took cover, as the Warcraft, after circling once in the sky, had begun diving towards the two of them.
The Warcraft named Ice Dragon Clear Sky Sparrow, was originally a native creature, boasting Level Two Ultimate Lifeform status, reigning as a tyrant within the Hong Yun Empire. Even the three Dao Realm experts were no match for it one-on-one.
Besides being born with a rich High-Grade Dragon Clan bloodline, its strength also greatly benefited from the Cold Marrow Jade Dew. Since it discovered this spring, it had made the snow mountain its lair.
Cold Marrow Jade Dew takes tens of thousands of years to condense, each time yielding only a few hundred drops. To prevent discovery, it employed many methods to conceal the Dew's aura, hence only Zhang Menglong and the old man noticed.
It did not expect humans to discover the undeveloped Cold Marrow Jade Dew, nor did it anticipate the human's formidable strength. While neither they could harm each other, it couldn't enjoy the Cold Marrow Jade Dew.
It had just repelled the human once, but within minutes he got pushy again; how could it bear it? Ice Dragon Clear Sky Sparrow knew that if it couldn't eliminate this darn human, it wouldn't enjoy the Cold Marrow Jade Dew peacefully!
"Boom!" The old man and Warcraft clashed instantly; despite looking frail, the old man unleashed incredible force, head-butting Clear Sky Sparrow's chest while clutching its sharp claws.
Due to the powerful inertia, the old man was knocked flying instantly, while the bird and human slid thousands of meters across the ground. Remarkably, Clear Sky Sparrow's body was held back by the little old man's brute strength!
"Wow, this old man has some skill!" Zhang Menglong exclaimed; the old man seemed to employ some special method, boosting his strength to nearly rival the Warcraft.
"Byakugan, activate!" Zhang Menglong's eyes turned pure white, exposing all energy flows in his vision circle!
Apart from the circulating power on the old man, Zhang Menglong saw two forces rushing into the old man's body, one being ambient energy, which ordinary martial artists could utilize.
The other, however, was beyond Zhang Menglong's understanding, a thing called fortune!
Since obtaining the Heavenly Pride Order, Zhang Menglong had studied the fortune energy, a mysterious power, assumed to be qualitative, like height and weight.
Now, as the fortune energy entered the old man's body, transforming into another power, his brute force stemmed from this energy!
"This old man's got something!" Zhang Menglong was astounded at the novel use of fortune energy.
"Kid, stop gawking, get moving!" the old man punched Clear Sky Sparrow, but most power was blocked by its sturdy ice armor, barely inflicting damage, while the punch numbed the old man's fist.
"Got it!"
Reluctant to intervene further, Zhang Menglong knew the old man wouldn't last long, needing to find the Cold Marrow Jade Dew before the infernal bird recovered.
The temperature in the snow mountain was several magnitudes lower than outside; Zhang Menglong had to summon a second Strange Fire to withstand the dreadful cold.
The Strange Fire, however, was conspicuous, like a beacon in the cold; Clear Sky Sparrow spotted Zhang Menglong, abandoning the old man to fly toward him.
"Old man! Can you manage?" Zhang Menglong shouted frantically.
"Go, leave it to me!" The old man grabbed Clear Sky Sparrow's tail tightly; despite its struggles, it couldn't approach Zhang Menglong.
Clear Sky Sparrow was clearly frantic; this Cold Marrow Jade Dew aggregation was awaited far too long, if taken away, years of guarding and waiting would be in vain.
"Keep holding on!" Zhang Menglong quickly delved into the snow mountain to search for the Cold Marrow Jade Dew trace.
[Straight ahead!]
[Turn left!]
[Dean, you can't tell left from right? I said turn left! Why go right? Who taught you driving?]
[Whoa, wrong again, you can't tell directions at all!]
With Gou Dan's guidance, Zhang Menglong traversed the maze-like caves until, after ten minutes, he located the Cold Marrow Jade Dew site.
A small puddle containing a shallow liquid, yet teeming with pure energy, made Zhang Menglong's Destruction Demon Dragon bloodline boil, whispering him to drink it all.
Zhang Menglong hastily brought out an exquisite container to collect the substance, gathering a total of 127 drops. He stored 87 drops in another bottle and hid it at the Super God Academy; splitting the rest evenly wasn't unfair?
"Screech!" echoed a sharp cry from afar.
"Hmm? Could it be that bird got hurt?" Zhang Menglong wondered, "That old man's got something!"
"Wait!" Suddenly, Zhang Menglong felt a chill behind him; a pair of ghostly blue eyes slowly emerged…
