Chapter 848 Dragon's Blood
In the Dragon King Temple, Mo Hua leads the way.
But the atmosphere of the team is somewhat strange.
Gu Changhuai and Xia Diansi were on the left and right, one step behind him, guarding the ink painting and also watching out for Xiao Diansi.
Xiao Diansi still had a fake smile on his face, but now that Tu Qiong saw it, his smile was really only superficial.
The attitude of others towards Xiao Diansi is also very subtle.
Shui Yanluo is obviously in the same group as Xiao Diansi. There must be some intersection between the two of them, either overtly or covertly.
Before, when hunting water bandits on the island, Shui Yanluo was able to escape from the hands of Gu Changhuai and Xia Diansi, and it was Xiao Diansi who saved him.
Hence, Shuiyanluo obeyed Xiao Diansi's words.
But at the same time, he seemed a little wary of Xiao Diansi, and even had some indescribable fear.
This is very rare in the murderous Shui Yama.
Xie Liu obviously also vaguely knew the identity of Xiao Diansi.
At this time, among the several golden elixirs in the Dragon King Temple, he had the lowest status, the weakest strength, and the least say. Therefore, he could only follow Xiao Diansi, who was barely regarded as an "accomplice".
The weirdest one is Xiao Tianquan.
Xiao Tianquan and Xiao Diansi are both monks of the Xiao family, so they should be considered to be of the same spirit.
But after Xiao Diansi jumped, Xiao Tianquan didn't say a word. Now along the way, he even deliberately kept a distance from Xiao Diansi and stood next to Xia Diansi.
"The situation of the Xiao family seems to be quite complicated..." Mo Hua said silently in his heart.
As for Ouyang Feng and Hua Qianqian, they are still being "held hostage".
On the surface, Xiao Diansi no longer makes things difficult for them.
But Mo Hua also knew in his heart that as long as something happened, Senior Brother Feng and Senior Sister Qianqian could still only be used as "bargains".
But he really has no good solution now and can only act according to circumstances.
Mo Hua's eyes flashed slightly.
In this way, the hunting was still going on, and the group of people walked in the Dragon King Temple with a wary look.
Ink Hua led the way, following the traces of the **** monster, and occasionally asked Shui Yanluo about the layout of the Dragon King Temple to determine the route.
Among this group of people, only Mo Hua is a monster hunter.
Although Daoting Si Dian Si can also hunt, they are hunting people.
Although criminal cultivators like Shui Yama are familiar with hunting, they are usually hunted.
Only Mo Hua is a real monster hunter.
Therefore, among the monks present, no one is more proficient in the habits, behavioral habits, and weak breaths of monsters than him.
Of course, this monster may not be a monster, but the principle is the same.
Mo Hua looked up at the rafters, let go of his consciousness, and followed some clues to trace the monster.
It's just that the Dragon King Temple is wide, the halls are towering, and there are many rooms. In addition, the surroundings are gloomy and full of blood. After chasing after them, the monster disappeared.
Mo Hua could only guess, calculate, and find it bit by bit... At this moment, his expression suddenly moved slightly and he stopped.
Everyone also stopped.
Gu Changhuai asked: "What's wrong?"
Mo Hua said: "There is something..."
Then he thought for a moment, turned over slightly, and landed lightly on the rafter.
The beams were made of huge wood, which was unusually wide, and the area near the wall was in a mess, with a large hole dug out by something unknown.
Although the cave is large, the entrance is very shallow and you can see the bottom at a glance.
It seems like something has lived here.
Mo Hua guessed that it was probably the monster that used this place as a temporary lair.
He took a few steps closer and suddenly found a little bit of blood in the nest.
This blood stain is actually light blue, and the smell is very light. It does not have the filthy smell of human blood demon blood, but has a faint fragrance.
Fragrance?
Mo Hua frowned.
He looked at it and suddenly couldn't help it. He stretched out his finger and dipped some blood on it, put it in his mouth and sipped it.
At that moment, there was a roar of dragons in my ears.
Mo Hua's pupils trembled.
"dragon…"
Although he had never seen a real dragon, nor heard its voice, he suddenly felt certain in his heart. The sound that shocked his mind just now, as clear as gold and stone, was indeed the sound of a dragon's roar.
Dragon blood?
Mo Hua looked shocked and couldn't help but smacked his lips.
It's a pity that I didn't taste it.
The blood itself was very light, and the blood stains left behind were almost dry. There was only a trace of breath, which made Mo Hua taste a little bit, and he couldn't even taste it.
Mo Hua looked pityful, but then his heart couldn't help but jump.
“Dragon King Temple…is that monster related to the 'dragon'?”
The scales on its body, could it be... dragon scales?
Because it is a dragon scale, it is indestructible to swords, invulnerable to spells, and is stronger than any gold or iron I have ever seen.
Then what's flowing on it...is dragon blood?
“No, that's not right…”
Mo Hua shook his head again.
The dragon is a divine beast, and it will never look so bloody.
And although the monster is strong, it is obviously far from the legendary "dragon".
It also eats people and drinks human blood. The blood must have been contaminated, so the blood flowing in its body is definitely not dragon blood.
"It's very possible that the dragon's blood is just a primer."
“The monster ate the dragon's blood and refined it in its body, so that it could grow such hard “dragon scales”, possess such deep blood, and have a strong body...”
Mo Hua nodded slightly, feeling that this guess was reasonable. At the same time, his eyes brightened slightly.
Now it seems that there are many more secrets in this monster than I thought.
No matter what, this monster must be caught and studied carefully.
Of course, he would not be able to catch this monster on his own.
Fortunately, he now has a bunch of "thugs".
Mo Hua jumped down from the beam, and Xiao Diansi said with a fake smile, "What's up there? The young master has been looking at it for so long."
He and Gu Changhuai were on guard against each other, so they did not go up to see it in person.
Mo Hua said: "There is a nest where monsters once lived. It is probably not far away. You can look for it again."
He hid the matter of dragon blood.
It was impossible for Xiao Diansi to think of it, so he just nodded, "Okay."
After that, ink painting still leads the way.
But he circled around the area and found a lot of the monster's whereabouts, but he couldn't see the monster's figure at all.
While Mo Hua was frowning and thinking, his heart suddenly trembled, as if something was beating.
“Dragon's blood…”
The dragon's blood he had just licked seemed to come back to him now.
Mo Hua felt that the speed of blood flow in his body seemed to have become faster.
There was another dragon roar in his ears. His heart was beating faster and faster, his meridians were swollen and painful, and his limbs were a little numb, as if the dragon's blood was awakening in his body bit by bit, devouring his blood.
Even if there is only a trace of dragon blood.
Furthermore, it may not be the blood of a true dragon.
But with his frail body, he couldn't bear it at all.
Mo Hua's physical body is really poor and his bloodline is weak. The power of this "dragon" far exceeds the load of his body.
“It's over, I wouldn't have eaten randomly if I had known better...”
Mo Hua regretted it deeply.
Fortunately, dragon blood is not something he can just eat if he wants.
Just now, he only licked a trace, not even a blood star, so the chaos in his blood only lasted for a moment, and then gradually calmed down.
Mo Hua felt cold sweat break out on his forehead and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Xia Diansi on the side saw this, his expression changed slightly, he stretched out his white palm, gently wiped Mo Hua's forehead, frowned and said:
“Ink painting? What's wrong with you?”
“It's okay,” Mo Hua sighed, “I'm so hungry.”
Xia Diansi was a little confused and didn't know what he was talking about.
How can you have a bad stomach after eating so well?
"Sister Xia, I'm fine. Let's continue looking for the monster. The monster's matter is more important..." Mo Hua quickly changed the subject.
Seeing that Mo Hua was fine, Xia Diansi no longer hesitated, but nodded and asked:
“The monster seems to have disappeared. How can we find it now?”
Mo Hua also frowned. He let go of his consciousness again and felt around, but still found nothing.
The monster seemed to have disappeared.
Suddenly, Mo Hua's heart trembled again.
Mo Hua was startled.
Not finished yet?
But when he took a closer look, he discovered that it was not his own heart that was beating, but another heart...
That monster's “heart”?
Mo Hua closed his eyes, held his breath and concentrated. After a moment, he opened his eyes, his expression suddenly enlightened.
It is not the beating of the heart.
It is...a kind of induction between the souls.
Mo Hua frowned slightly.
He had just eaten a trace of dragon blood. This trace of dragon blood seems to contain an ancient divine beast "spirit".
Through this trace of "dragon blood", the ink painting seems to have a subtle resonance with the "soul" of this ancient mythical beast.
He can sense the flow of other dragon's blood in the Dragon King Temple.
In other words, it means being able to sense...the location of the monster.
Mo Hua felt a little unbelievable.
Dragon blood contains "divine soul"?
Why?
The reason why mythical beasts such as dragons are called mythical beasts is because their "spirits" can be integrated with flesh and blood?
Mo Hua was secretly shocked, but now was not the time to think about this. He turned his head and said to everyone:
"I know where the monster is, follow me..."
Then Mo Hua looked confident and walked towards the corridor on the right.
The people behind him looked at each other, wondering how Mo Hua knew about it.
However, Gu Changhuai and Xia Diansi had always trusted Mo Hua, so they followed without much hesitation.
Shui Yanluo knew that the ink paintings were weird and his skills were very weird, so he didn't doubt it.
Xie Liu wants to get the water prison box from Mo Hua, and he will follow whatever he says.
Xiao Tianquan hesitated for a moment and followed the crowd.
Xiao Diansi was the only one, silently looking at Mo Hua's back, his eyes becoming more and more surprised, and he felt more and more elusive about this young master.
He was silent for a moment, his eyes flashed with blood, and he followed the ink painting silently.
Everyone followed the ink painting until they walked to a small square, where they saw corpses everywhere.
On the ground paved with bluestone, blood splashed on the ground like ink, like wild grass.
The monks at the scene, either Dian Si or evil cultivators, were rich in experience and could tell at a glance that a massacre had occurred here.
And it was a “massacre” that was caught off guard.
It seems that not long ago, these temple guards gathered here for some unknown reason, and then suddenly encountered a vicious attack and were massacred.
The murderer does not use magic or spiritual weapons, but only relies on the powerful power of the body.
There is a high probability that it is that monster.
Mo Hua looked around, used his soul to sense it, and then pointed at a plaque in the distance.
“There.”
It is a plaque hanging high in the main hall. It is wide and thick, with blue paint as the base and ancient gold hot stamping. There are three large characters written on the plaque:
“Yaksha Hall”.
Everyone looked in the direction of Mo Hua's finger and frowned.
Shuiyan Luo said: "Where is the monster?"
“Based on my feeling, it's in that direction…”
Mo Hua said it was "based on feeling", but his tone was very firm, "It should have dug a hole behind the plaque of Yaksha Hall to hide."
Hearing this, Xiao Diansi drew out his long sword and wanted to try it, but was stopped by Mo Hua.
“Don't do anything casually, as it will scare off the enemy.”
Xiao Diansi glanced at the ink painting, silently put away his sword, and said: "Then what should we do based on what the young master said?"
Mo Hua looked confident, "Don't worry, leave it to me. To be honest, my ancestors have been monster hunters for generations. My ability to hunt monsters is inherited from my family..."
Xiao Diansi's eyes were subtle.
This young master, I don't know what kind of inheritance he has received since he was a child. He knows a variety of things, weird and unexpected.
"Okay, I'll follow you, young master." Xiao Diansi said.
Mo Hua nodded, and then said:
“Know yourself and your enemy, and you can win a hundred battles without danger. When hunting monsters, you must be prepared for a rainy day and be prepared before you start.”
“Otherwise, if you are a little negligent, you will suffer big losses.”
“According to the current situation, this monster is riddled with blood. The dragon...fish scales are hard, the body is extremely strong, and the blood quenched on the claws and claws is both fishy and highly poisonous.”
“It looks like a second-grade one, but it's definitely not something that ordinary foundation-building monks can win.”
“Especially its scale armor, which is invulnerable to weapons, water and fire. No matter whether it is spiritual weapons, strength, or spells, it seems that it cannot be broken.”
Xiao Diansi frowned slightly, "With the combined efforts of the monks at the peak of foundation building, they can't break it?"
Mo Hua pointed at Xie Liu and said, "Ask him."
Xie Liu didn't want to admit it, but he had to tell the truth, "I used Guishui sword energy to cut dozens of swords, and the scales were not damaged at all."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone knew what was going on.
Xie Liu is a golden elixir. He has pushed his cultivation to the peak of foundation building. He has cut dozens of swords, but he can't break the scale armor. The other golden elixirs are not much stronger even if they are strong.
“Therefore,” Mo Hua said, “in a head-on battle, it is estimated that it will be difficult to take down this monster, let alone kill it.”
“But it seems to have a weakness…”
“Weakness?” Xie Liu frowned.
He fought with the monster for dozens of rounds, but he never found any weakness in the monster.
Mo Hua nodded and said, "Its weakness is the blood and energy around it."
“Everything in the world operates according to laws.”
“The operation of the formation requires energy from the formation eyes. Every movement of the monk requires blood supply from the heart and sea of Qi to supply the spirit. Even the demon beasts also rely on the demon pill to provide demon power..."
"The same is true for the monster. It relies on the filthy blood that comes from nowhere to move around, nourish and hunt."
“Once the blood is exhausted, it has no energy supply and can only wait to die.”
“Therefore, the key points of hunting this monster are sleepiness and exhaustion.”
“With so many golden elixirs present, there should be no problem in consuming them. The main problem is that I am 'sleepy'.”
Mo Hua asked everyone: "Do you have any spiritual weapons or formations to trap the enemy? You can take them out and lay them out in advance."
Everyone was a little hesitant.
Shui Yanluo frowned and said, "Kid, don't you know how to set up formations yourself?"
Mo Hua sighed and said helplessly:
“I am only in the middle stage of foundation building, my spiritual consciousness is limited, and the formations I have set up are also of limited levels. How can I possibly restrain this second-level peak monster?”
“What's more, I've almost used up all my formations along the way.”
Gu Changhuai looked at the ink paintings with a strange expression, but said nothing.
Although Xia Diansi knew that the level of the ink painting formation was not low, he did not know how high it was, so he had no doubts.
Several other people thought this was okay.
Mo Hua added: "The situation is urgent and everyone should work together. If we don't come up with the means now, it will be too late to regret if we are trapped and die in the Dragon King Temple."
Everyone thought for a moment, but Gu Changhuai took out a pair of chains and two formations first:
"This chain is Daotingsi's standard trap, used to ambush in advance. The formation belongs to my Gu family. I usually put it on my body, but I don't have much chance to use it."
Then Xia Diansi also took out a snare, "This is the Xia family's snare. It's a second-grade snare. It can tie up the enemy for a while."
“The formation is inconvenient to arrange. I rarely use it, so I usually don't bring it..."
With Gu Changhuai and Xia Diansi taking the lead, the others also brought out something more or less.
Including Xiao Diansi, Xie Liu, Shui Yanluo and Xiao Tianquan.
But Mo Hua felt that it was still not enough, so he watched his words to see who was hiding something, secretly withheld the spiritual weapon or formation that "trapped the enemy", and looked at him with piercing eyes, with an attitude of not giving up until he was clean.
“I leave it all to you…”
“Not enough.”
“So many spiritual weapons and formations are enough.”
Mo Hua shook his head, "That monster is cunning and fast. It is not easy to trap it. You must be fully prepared. Otherwise, once it escapes and hides deep in the Dragon King Temple, it is very likely that it will not be captured again." It's gone.”
“Okay…”
Just like that, Mo Hua gathered the wool and "collected" almost all the formations and spiritual weapons used to trap and bind the enemy from everyone.
In this way, he felt relieved.
After that, he observed the terrain, "commanded" everyone to set up formations, occupy positions, prepare spiritual weapons to trap the enemy, and the "hunting" began.
Xiao Diansi struck out with his sword, creating a streak of sword light and striking the plaque of Yaksha Hall.
This plaque was made of unknown materials. It was as solid as gold and iron and had not broken. However, it fell from the eaves after being struck by the sword energy, revealing a dark and **** hole behind it.
“Sure enough…”
Xiao Diansi's pupils narrowed slightly.
Then there was a sound in the cave, and a monster holding a fleshy limb and eating deliciously slowly came out.
As if his meal was suddenly interrupted, the monster was furious, its eyes were blood red, and it screamed.
This sound is very strange, like a man-eating yaksha in the river, or some kind of powerful strange beast.
The ink painting can be heard clearly at this time.
The sound of this monster is a bit like..."dragon roar".
Mo Hua's eyes flashed slightly.
Since the monster appeared, everyone did not hesitate and started to attack directly.
The war is about to break out.
Gu Changhuai activated the cyan wind blade, and Xia Diansi condensed the ice sword energy.
Smiling Tiger and Xie Liu both use Guishui swords.
Shui Yanluo used a water torture whip, and Xiao Tianquan used a set of swordsmanship from the Xiao family.
Ouyang Feng was injured and Hua Qianqian was poisoned, so the two of them could not do anything.
Mo Hua was the youngest and had the lowest level of cultivation. He was very self-aware and did not take action. Instead, he chose a clean step without blood stains and sat aside to watch the show.
None of the monks in the field are really good at it, and they all have rich experience in fighting.
What's more, Mo Hua is not worried at all because four Jindans are joining forces.
Everything is going according to his plan.
