The bottom of the abyss in the center of the lake was pitch black. The huge dragon chased the young man away, and the deepest part gradually calmed down, as if it had returned to its original state.
However, in the depths of the darkness, in some hidden corner, a figure was crouching there quietly.
He held his head high and waited until everything around him was quiet again before he stood up.
"That person is at the tenth level of Qi Condensation and has many magical weapons on him. Although this hidden dragon has the strength of Qi Condensation Great Perfection, it is about to establish its foundation and is at its weakest. It is not impossible for that person to escape."
This person is Xue Kong.
He didn't want the young man to die at the hands of Yin Jiao so soon, otherwise, he would not have enough time to find what he wanted in the future.
Xue Kong spread out his spiritual sense, turned around and left, seizing the time to search carefully at the bottom of the abyss.
"The Thousand-Eyed Ant is truly extraordinary. Not only was that person unable to detect the fake body it created, even the Hidden Dragon hesitated for a moment and didn't notice anything."
"Unfortunately, the fake body can only be created once. If the fake body dies, the Thousand-Eyed Ant will die with it."
Previously, Xue Kong didn't have much hope for the fake body created by the Thousand-Eyed Ant, but now he sees that the effect is quite satisfactory.
The bottom of the abyss was full of rubble. Xue Kong was worried that the hidden dragon might come back at any time, so he couldn't use the fireball technique to illuminate the area. He just used his spiritual sense to scan and search carefully.
"Dragons are inherently lustful. A Jiao cultivates for thousands of years to transform into a dragon. This hidden Jiao itself is special, its entire body is cold and yin, and even the demonic energy within it is extremely yin."
"Every breakthrough in cultivation is equivalent to a human's tribulation. The scales on the Hidden Dragon's body will gradually fall off and be replaced by new, more powerful scales."
"These shed scales are the ultimate Yin material I'm looking for."
After searching for an incense stick of time, Xue Kong finally got eight scales.
As the Hidden Dragon was about to establish its foundation, the scales on its body fell off piece by piece, scattering all over the abyss.
The area under the abyss is extremely large, and the scales are the size of a palm, either floating away with the water flow or stuck in the cracks of the rocks. Xue Kong is very satisfied that he can find eight of them in the time it takes to stick an incense stick.
He is not greedy.
After obtaining the eight scales, he immediately put them into the storage bag, raised his head, and swam towards the surface of the water.
This is the hidden dragon's lair. If the hidden dragon returns, with his cultivation level, it will be impossible for him to escape no matter what. The wisest choice is to get away as soon as possible.
Xue Kong displayed his cultivation and swam upwards quickly like a fish.
Halfway through the swim, his face suddenly changed. He quickly stopped where he was, restrained his cultivation, and withdrew his spiritual consciousness. The surging water hit his body like a huge wave, blowing him away.
Xue Kong stretched out his arms and paddled hard, struggling to maintain his balance so as not to bump into anything.
Although he couldn't see, he could feel that a huge monster was rushing towards him from not far away.
"Yin Jiao came back so quickly! Was the young man killed?" Xue Kong was surprised and glad that he was not greedy enough and left early, otherwise he would be doomed now.
Only after the surroundings returned to calm did Xue Kong activate his cultivation and slowly swim upstream.
The darkness in my sight gradually decreased.
A ray of light came from the top, and a look of joy flashed across Xue Kong's face. He accelerated towards the water surface, and the white light became brighter and brighter until he left the water surface and breathed fresh air again.
Xue Kong only then realized that it was already night and the bright moon was hanging high in the sky.
Returning to the shore from the center of the lake and dispersing his spiritual protection, he smiled happily: "It was worth the trip."
Suddenly, Xue Kong saw traces of blood on the gravel not far from the shore. He walked over and saw that the blood had dyed the gravel red. The blood had not dried yet and was still warm to the touch. It must have fallen not long ago.
Is he injured? Or dead?
Xue Kong narrowed his eyes slightly.
If the other person dies, then it's all over.
If the opponent is just injured, this is the best opportunity to kill him.
Judging from the amount of blood on the gravel ground, if the young man was only injured, he was probably seriously injured.
Xue Kong slapped his storage bag with his right hand, took out the black talisman paper, injected spiritual power into the talisman paper, and soon it turned into a huge black wolf demon spirit.
"Follow the smell of blood and find the injured people nearby." Xue Kong gave the order.
The black wolf demon spirit raised its huge head and sniffed. There was a faint smell of blood in the air, which ordinary cultivators might not be able to smell, but it captured it in one go.
He moved his strong limbs and quickly followed the direction of the smell of blood.
The young man was indeed not dead.
Relying on the pile of magic weapons accumulated on his body, he withstood the attacks of the dragon again and again. Although his injuries became more and more serious and the magic weapons were destroyed one by one, he managed to save his life.
Until almost all the magic weapons were destroyed.
At the cost of his right arm, he escaped from the abyss, returned to the shore, and fled desperately.
Fortunately, the dragon didn't seem to have a strong desire to kill him. It only chased him to the shore and then returned to the bottom of the water. The young man was able to escape death.
At this moment, the young man was leaning against a huge rock. His face was pale, his lips were bloodless, his eyes were dull, and his head was covered with fine cold sweat.
He stopped the bleeding of the broken arm, and only severe pain was felt.
"With this broken body, it is impossible for me to gain anything in the Demon Valley. After I go into seclusion to recover my cultivation and heal my injuries, I will leave immediately." The young man made up his mind and stopped getting involved.
No matter how precious the treasures in this Demon Valley are, let others fight for them.
"I never thought there would be such a ruthless person in the world, using his own life to lure me into the trap and drag me down... The devil cultivator is really crazy and terrifying, it makes me tremble with fear."
"only……"
The young man sneered and snorted disdainfully, "He probably never imagined until his death that I could escape from the clutches of a Qi Condensation Great Perfection dragon. In the depths of the Nine Netherworld, I wonder if he'll regret it."
"Haha, hahahaha."
He laughed at Xue Kong for overestimating his own abilities.
He laughed and said that even though Xue Kong was cruel and ruthless and even took his life into consideration, he was still no match for his treasures.
As he laughed, the injuries on his body became more serious.
The young man groaned, and a hint of regret appeared in his eyes.
If they had had better eyesight at the entrance of the Demon Valley at that time, and had seen the extraordinary qualities of Xue Kong and the other three, and had not attacked them, would they be living a prosperous life now, and would more than a dozen of their companions have not died?
It’s a pity that things have come to this point. There is no point in regretting it, it will only add to the sadness.
When the young man felt that he was able to walk again, he stood up and planned to find a safe place to recuperate.
Just then…
"Xue has never regretted anything he did in his life." An extremely calm voice sounded behind the young man.
Hearing this voice, the young man's heart suddenly twitched, and his body, which had just taken a step forward, froze in place.
His expression froze, and a strong look of disbelief appeared on his face.
He turned around suddenly and saw a ghostly figure standing quietly not far behind him. His face was expressionless and the moonlight falling on him exuded a sense of tranquility.
