Chapter 800 Thunderous Hook Serpent
About three more days passed, and Cang Li, who was immersed in body tempering, slowly opened his eyes, revealing a hint of joy.
He gained a lot this time, and now he is confident that he can go toe-to-toe with Cang Ming.
"Hmm? Where's that pretty boy?"
However, when he looked back, Zhao Mu was nowhere to be seen, and even Yu Ying had vanished without a trace.
"Humph~"
He chuckled and said disdainfully, "It seems you couldn't withstand the tearing force from a deeper level and ran away with your tail between your legs in fear. Yu Ying, Yu Ying, when you get the Book of Ten Thousand Spirits, you'll come begging to me."
Cang Li's eyes were full of smugness, anticipating the scene of Yu Ying bowing her head to him.
As for that pretty boy, he didn't care about him at all.
Although the time spent in the swamp and the distance penetrated cannot accurately compare the strength of both sides, they can, to some extent, compare the intensity of body tempering.
Clearly, that pretty boy is far inferior to him.
Just an ant.
Women are so superficial; they can be fooled by appearances alone.
......
Meanwhile, Zhao Mu and Yu Ying, who had already left, were sparring in a safe place.
As for the result.....
Tie.
But Zhao Mu knew very well that this was because Yu Ying had held back.
Even now, I am still no match for her.
"You don't have to keep accommodating me. You should also focus on improving your own strength. Without the help of Yu Ling and the others, you are already a step behind Cang Ming and Yin Yu. Now you put me first in everything. I'm afraid... Ugh!"
As Zhao Mu was speaking, Yu Ying suddenly reached out and placed two slender fingers on his lips. The softness of her fingertips made Zhao Mu's pupils dilate slightly.
This action...
That's too much.
But he didn't dare to retaliate.
"You don't need to remind me, I know it."
Yu Ying smiled faintly, clearly appreciating Zhao Mu's concern. Looking into his eyes, she said, "In the core of Canglan Marsh, there is an ancient medicinal garden where I can find what I need."
"What?"
Zhao Mu asked curiously.
"Yin-Yang Spirit Spring".
"The Yin-Yang Spiritual Spring?"
Zhao Mu was a little confused because he had never heard of such a thing before.
"Ok!"
Yu Ying nodded and explained, "This Yin-Yang Spiritual Spring is one of the spiritual springs used to irrigate the herb garden. It contains a rich ancient aura, which is of great benefit to my accumulation."
"Not only that, this spiritual spring will also bring you considerable benefits. We can soak in it together then."
???
Want to soak together?
Zhao Mu subconsciously glanced at the other person's exquisite body covered by a cool white dress.
"What are you thinking about!"
Yu Ying turned her head slightly, not wanting Zhao Mu to see her embarrassment, and scolded, "Of course I'm wearing clothes! What are you trying to do, you pervert!"
"..."
Zhao Mu felt a chill run down his spine. He was now 100% certain that this Fairy Yu had taken a liking to him.
The implication couldn't be clearer.
"Cough cough~"
Zhao Mu didn't dare to answer. After coughing twice, he immediately asked, "Are there many people who know about this Yin-Yang Spirit Spring?"
“Extremely rare. This was discovered by my Yu family ancestors by chance.”
After explaining for a moment, Yu Ying added, "However, quite a few people know about that herb garden. We're bound to run into some people there, so we'll have to be careful. And..."
"And what?"
Seeing Yu Ying's bright eyes suddenly rise and meet his gaze, Zhao Mu asked curiously.
"and......"
Yu Ying said somewhat embarrassedly, "The location of the Yin-Yang Spirit Spring is uncertain. My ancestor in the Yu family accidentally stumbled upon it back then. Many people in later generations have tried to find it, but to no avail. So, it's not certain whether I can find it or not. If I can't find it, then I can only collect some rare spiritual herbs and then go to the Five Elements Battlefield."
"The Five Elements Battlefield?"
"A battlefield left over from ancient times, containing unknown opportunities, a place that many people flock to. My Yu family's ancestor obtained a heaven-defying opportunity in the Five Elements Battlefield and rose to become a high-ranking member of the family."
"This place is really complicated."
Zhao Mu sighed. He had been too busy to look at the map before, so he had been relying on Yu Ying, who was like a human map, all along. "Let's go, I'll help you find the Yin-Yang Spirit Spring first."
"Ok!"
Yu Ying nodded, and the two immediately headed towards the core of Canglan Marsh.
The journey is not short; even traveling at full speed, it would take at least ten days to arrive.
Along the way, they encountered few dangers, mostly some sixth-tier demonic beasts. The only one that was relatively dangerous was a seventh-tier early-stage Thunder Hook Serpent, which was not only quite strong but also launched a sneak attack.
Fortunately, Zhao Mu was highly alert; otherwise, Yu Ying would have been pierced through the shoulder by those dagger-like fangs.
The Thunder Hook Serpent is highly venomous, and their antidote pills are completely useless.
You never know, you might lose your life.
"Whoo~"
As Yu Ying gasped for breath, he clasped his hands in thanks to Zhao Mu and said, "Thank you so much for saving my life, Brother Zhao. I never expected that there would be a seventh-order Thunder Hook Serpent in such a place. It was too dangerous."
The Thunder Hook Serpents of Canglan Marsh are few in number, and most of them are scattered in places full of poisonous miasma, such as the Moli Refining Swamp. It is almost impossible to encounter them in calm waters.
Of course, none of the people who came in this time were capable of controlling the Thunder Hook Serpent.
Because this thing, strictly speaking, is comparable to the royal family of demon beasts, and is one of the best among demon beasts, unlike those brainless creatures like the Ghost Wolf Fish.
"It's just my duty!"
Zhao Mu chuckled lightly. Throughout the journey, his duty was to patrol the area around the police station, since his spiritual sense had a wider range!
"Thank you very much. After we leave the Langhuan Secret Realm, I would like to ask Brother Zhao to come back to the Yu family with me. I will repay you handsomely."
!!!
Zhao Mu was startled. What do you mean by a generous reward? Are you trying to introduce me to your parents?
"No need. This is simply a collaboration between us, and it's my duty. Didn't you also defeat the Thunder Hook Serpent?"
He dared not agree casually and could only try to brush it off with a joke.
Yu Ying did not insist any further and steered the treasure ship toward the core area.
On the tenth day, they finally arrived at a misty archipelago. The islands here were scattered like stars, numbering at least tens of thousands, each of varying sizes. Moreover, the suppression of divine sense here was far greater than in the tempering swamp.
"Could there be something like the Nightmare Ghost Willow on this too?"
Recalling his harrowing experience in the training swamp, Zhao Mu subconsciously asked a question.
"Hard to say."
Yu Ying's expression was solemn. "Whether or not there are Nightmare Ghost Willows is unknown, but this place is the core of the entire Canglan Marsh, and it's also the remains of an ancient medicinal garden. The environment is definitely better than other places, so..."
Got it!
Zhao Mu understood. To put it bluntly, the danger here far surpasses that of other places, even the previous training swamp.
Dry!
