Hiss!
Perhaps sensing the threat of death, the flames on the Crimson Flame Nine-Headed Dragon intensified.
It also produced a sizzling sound, like the crackling of flames burning intensely.
If the Crimson Flame Nine-Headed Dragon initially had a somewhat playful attitude, now it's truly serious.
For hunters, watching their prey struggle helplessly is the most interesting thing.
Now the roles are reversed.
Having cultivated some intelligence, the Crimson Flame Nine-Headed Dragon gradually came to understand this point.
Nine heads kept shaking.
A ghostly green light enveloped almost the entire body.
The surge of spiritual energy reached its peak, and so did the stench.
With his aura fully unleashed, the oppressive force he displayed caused the surrounding space to shatter slightly, revealing a terrifying void.
Xu Heng's indifferent face only showed a hint of contempt in response.
Then, he waved his hand dramatically.
Boom
Countless sword lights instantly coalesced.
The air itself began to fill with the sounds of clashing weapons.
The sword light transformed into a rain of swords, which fell gently.
In an instant, the sky darkened.
A violent surge of spiritual energy swept outwards.
The pungent smell of blood clashed with the clang of weapons.
A buzzing sound resounded.
The hard rock turned into powder upon contact and scattered into dust.
Several bright lights flashed by, followed by several loud bangs, and dust filled the air. When the dust settled, the surroundings gradually became brighter.
Zhou Mu looked around, then stared in shock.
This deep mountain has been razed to the ground, leaving it completely empty, standing out starkly against the backdrop of towering peaks.
The Crimson Flame Nine-Headed Dragon vanished before it even had a chance to resist.
As a demon beast that had taken a half-step into the realm of Saint King, it was completely powerless against Xu Heng.
"My God, that's incredible."
Zhou Mu murmured in shock.
He was shocked, but also somewhat relieved.
If the system hadn't intervened in time, he would have really died here.
He seemed to have figured out that this elusive system only appeared when he was about to die, and then started the lottery.
Once his crisis was resolved, the powerful being he had summoned also disappeared.
Now he was a little annoyed.
Does he have to keep flirting with death every time?
If the system malfunctions, he'll be gone.
Thinking of this, much of the joy of surviving the ordeal was instantly dispelled.
Suddenly, a faint green light appeared before their eyes.
He stared intently at it.
Amidst the swirling dust, the bead stood out conspicuously, enveloped in a ghostly green light.
When Zhou Mu's gaze fell upon it, the bead moved slightly, as if a small snake was wriggling inside.
"This must be the demon core. It looks pretty good, but I wonder what it tastes like."
As a seasoned foodie, his first thought was naturally food.
However, seeing that it didn't look very appetizing, and being able to clearly smell a strong fishy stench when you got close, I immediately lost my appetite.
It's inedible, but it's still a good treasure.
It was, after all, the demon core of a demon beast that had fallen after the death of a half-step Saint King level. Even an ordinary Saint Warrior would probably not be able to subdue it.
As expected, as soon as Zhou Mu held the dark green bead in his hand, he felt an extremely violent aura gathering in his palm.
The temperature of my palm is also gradually rising.
A sizzling sound, accompanied by a burnt smell, wafted out.
At this moment, a fierce glint flashed across Zhou Mu's face.
He suddenly opened his mouth wide.
He actually swallowed the demon core that emitted a ghostly green light.
After a long while, he swallowed and carefully examined himself. Apart from an indescribable fishy and bitter taste between his teeth, there was nothing else unusual.
Before long, he felt his cultivation level gradually improving, a wave of heat swept through his body, and the strength in his limbs began to increase.
A crimson flame totem flashed across his skin.
Zhou Mu clicked his tongue and patted his lower abdomen, saying, "This demon core is indeed a good thing. I only ate one, and my cultivation level has increased a lot. But it's still too little."
It's not that he's greedy.
However, that system was too unreliable, and he dared not entrust his life and fortune entirely to it. It was always better to become stronger on his own.
After pausing for a moment, his gaze fell upon the depths of the cave.
You can vaguely see a dark hole there.
It is extremely well hidden.
If the entire mountain hadn't been leveled, that hidden cave would probably never have been known.
"If nothing unexpected happens, the Sixth Son's Top-Rank Diagram should be in there."
His godfather was a cautious man to the core; even his closest daughter knew that she was hiding in this cave.
As for the exact location, no one knows except Ye Qing himself.
So, the mural we saw at the beginning was probably just there to distract people.
If it could be destroyed so easily, then the Six Sons Upper Armor Diagram would be far too worthless.
Following the narrow passageway, they walked in the dark for half a day until they saw a rich, milky-white halo ahead, at which point Zhou Mu's expression changed slightly.
Then he strode away.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, he slowly pushed open the heavy door.
With a creak, my vision was enveloped in a milky white halo.
Inside the dark room, the walls were surrounded by a strange, even beautiful, glow.
A faint floral fragrance wafted into my nose.
Instantly, my whole body felt as if it had undergone a profound purification, and I experienced an indescribable sense of comfort.
