Chapter 1068 - 318: Cave Maiden Zhan Li
Chapter 318: [Cave Maiden Zhan Li]
The Shepherd Master’s head, at the spot pierced by the Flying Sword fragment, has a trace of gray gas gathering.
This trace of gray gas writhes, and the wound on top of his head, with a bit of a bone fracture, is trying bit by bit to "push" the fragment of the Flying Sword inserted into his skull outward!
By the time Chen Yan crawled to his side, the Flying Sword fragment had been pushed out a sliver, even protruding beyond the skull, revealing a bit of metallic edge!!
Meanwhile, the Shepherd Master’s body trembled, his eyes wide open, and he made clattering sounds from his mouth.
The gray gas was gathering bit by bit at the few wound spots on his body, visible to the naked eye, his injured places, blood and flesh wriggling, growing.
The bleeding has gradually slowed down, even as the fleshy growth wriggled, the wounds are healing!
Chen Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
Luckily, he wasn’t careless.
If he had assumed victory earlier and stayed in place to recover his energy, this guy might have been able to stand up again soon!
This Ghost Race cultivator is indeed formidable!
No wonder the major Sects and Families in the Domain Realm are willing to pay high prices to purchase the Heaven-Crashing Ceremony, wanting their disciples to become cultivators of Ghost Race cultivation techniques.
The Shepherd Master felt Chen Yan crawling to his side, he tried to turn his head to look at Chen Yan, but his body couldn’t move. He could only forcibly move his eyeballs, looking sideways, fearfully at Chen Yan.
Chen Yan crawled beside his head, slowly sat up, sitting on the ground.
At this moment, Chen Yan was also covered in blood, different kinds flowing from his mouth, but his expression was stern, looking like a fierce ghost, his calmness terrifying.
Chen Yan withdrew his gaze from the Shepherd Master and instead sat there, opening the Storage Jade Pendant on his own, carefully taking out something to place on the ground in front of him.
He even took out from the Storage Jade Pendant...
A pair of chopsticks!
With his injured hand, trembling slightly from the severe pain while holding the chopsticks.
But Chen Yan cautiously held the chopsticks, using the tip to pick up the thing on the ground.
It was... a lump of something rather disgusting, seemingly a soft tissue part of a certain entity, black and purple intertwined, looking hair-raising.
Chen Yan took a deep breath, holding the object with the chopsticks, bringing it to the Shepherd Master’s mouth, and gently popping it into his mouth.
The Shepherd Master made muffled low growls, but his throat moved, eventually making a gulping sound, swallowing what Chen Yan put in his mouth.
"You... gave me to eat, what..." The Shepherd Master trembled.
Chen Yan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and after exhaling long, his previously tense body finally relaxed.
He threw the chopsticks, and at last no longer forced himself, lying sprawled on the ground, chest heaving, gasping for breath.
"Don’t worry, what you’re eating definitely isn’t anything good."
Chen Yan’s face twisted in pain, but he laughed heartily, "It’s... the Parasitic Spider’s venom sac!"
·
Parasitic Spider!
The one who fought Gu Tongbing to mutual destruction, almost perishing together with the Parasitic Spider!
The venom of that creature had evolved greatly after consuming the fruit of the Glazed Purple Treasure Vine!
Back then, when that entity was in a fight with Gu Tongbing like a clam, Chen Yan reaped the benefits as a fisherman, not only capturing Gu Tongbing but also taking the Glazed Purple Treasure Vine upon leaving.
And also!
With Chen Yan’s nature, he certainly didn’t forget to also scrape away the remains of the Parasitic Spider.
Though the Parasitic Spider was dead and mangled, Chen Yan still carefully extracted a portion of its remnants—the Parasitic Spider’s venom sac!
Inside that was the venom that poisoned Gu Tongbing!
·
The Shepherd Master’s cultivation, his true realm, is actually just the Second Realm, more accurately, the Peak of Second Realm.
He is just exceptionally powerful because he is a Ghost Race cultivator, walking the Ghost Race cultivation path.
Ghost Race cultivation, from entry level, allows comprehension of the Heavenly Dao, utilizing Heavenly Dao power! They can challenge higher-ranked cultivators across realms.
The Second Realm of Ghost Race can kill Third Realm!
And the Third Realm of Ghost Race can even contend with the Celestial Human Realm!
The Shepherd Master’s strength lies in this, a Peak of Second Realm can almost force an authentic Third Realm like Chen Yan to the brink.
But!
Chen Yan firmly believes, Second Realm is just Second Realm!
Even if one takes shortcuts in cultivation, with a certain cost, gaining higher combat power temporarily, cultivation isn’t just about combat strength.
Moreover...
This Parasitic Spider’s venom evolved after consuming Heavenly and Earthly Treasures!
This venom could even poison Gu Tongbing, a bona fide Celestial Human Realm!
Chen Yan doesn’t believe it can’t kill the Second Realm Shepherd Master!
If it can’t bring down the Shepherd Master, Chen Yan will resign himself!
·
Chen Yan fell asleep.
Having fed the venom sac to the Shepherd Master, he saw Gu Tongbing staggering toward him, climbing out from a pit formed by after a battle.
Only then did Chen Yan relax his mind, darkness encroaching, finally closing his eyes, and falling into a deep sleep.
Gu Tongbing wouldn’t harm him—he made a Heavenly Dao oath.
·
In a daze, Chen Yan felt someone feeding him water.
The water he drank flowed down his throat, into his stomach, and the burning sensation from his severe injuries in his chest and abdomen cooled, relieving much of the fiery pain.
