Lady Lin’s First-ever Journey to Immortality-Chapter 529 - A Broken Arm
Chapter 529 A Broken Arm
The inner side of the bat ring connected to Mu Tiannan’s finger looks ordinary, but countless sharp red thorns thinner than vellus grow there. These sharp thorns are all over his body. There are exactly 206 thorns, which is the same as the number of bones of a human.
Each red thorn is closely connected with Mu Tiannan’s bones. These red thorns make him live longer. However, the pain almost kills him every time it occurs!
The bat ring is being stripped. Over the past more than three hundred years, those thorns and Mu Tiannan’s bones have almost merged with each other. If he wants to strip them now, the pain will be more severe than that of peeling off skin and bones. It’s similar to flaying a part of the skeleton.
Mu Tiannan’s face always looks pale but now it’s even worse. His forehead is covered with beads of sweat larger than soybeans. The blue color around his eyes and ragged clothes make him look miserable. He doesn’t look noble anymore.
But when the bat ring is gradually stripped off, unconcealable joy on Mu Tiannan’s face overwhelmed with pain can still be seen.
He has betrayed the rule of the world of cultivation. He cultivates to be a monster with the body of a human. The bat ring enables his personal ability to improve quickly while it is actually a shackle to Mu Tiannan.
Men live for several decades and death comes on time. That’s not his choice. He went abroad, pursuing a wild life. He remembers that he had lived a drinking and muddling life for a few years until he met Roddick of Blood Line in an underground bar in New York.
Roddick was very hostile to Huaxia people. It followed him out of the bar just to suck his blood.
“The wolf has a winning game when the shepherds quarrel.” Another old monster had been hiding in the bat ring for several years. It woke up and chose drunk Mu Tiannan.
“Do you want to achieve immortality?”
A trace of sober flashes in his drunk eyes. Immortality? There is probably nothing in this world that is truly immortal. He heard that the person went to a dangerous place again and the date when she would be back was undecided. The difference between a mortal and a cultivator was that time would never be equal to them. Maybe when she comes back, he will be dead of drinking too much and have cadaverous odor.
Mu Tiannan laughed.
“Immortality? I’m not interested. But I’ll be interested if you know how to help an inept person begin his cultivation.”
Just with a short conversation, he readily sold himself to the devil.
It is not a way of the Human School, the Monster School, or the demonized School to cultivate to be a monster with the body of a human. He would definitely be abhorrent to the world of personal ability.
However, he just wanted to live. He doesn’t really care about getting the power promised by the old bat…
Today, he is finally going to be free.
Mu Tiannan sees that the ring has been stripped off and the red thorns are withdrawing. Finally, there is a sincere smile on his twisted face.
The black shadow Venerable is also waiting for the ring to be placed on the altar.
It is also not in a good condition. Back then, it separated its primordial spirit to attach itself on the blood bat and leave the secret land. Its body had been gradually consumed since then.
The Blood Line and Lin Luoran had a battle. Because of the war, Heaven’s Doom split its primordial spirit and its own body was also affected.
The sacred bat ring of the Barbarian Blood Line saved it, but it also divided its primordial spirit into two parts.
Now the primordial spirit in the ring is independent. If not combined with the one in the ring, the second primordial spirit will be independent either.
It knows everything that happened to its second primordial spirit, including the fact that it took a lot of time to go to a lot of trouble. It didn’t enjoy Mu Tiannan as a good meal, but allowed him to collect twelve jade plates and return to secret land.
The two primordial spirits originate from the same source, so they definitely have the same mentality—devouring!
It wants to devour the mature second primordial spirit. Of course, the second primordial spirit also wants to take advantage of its weakness to devour the main primordial spirit.
The bat ring is placed on the altar, and some red thorns are still there. The altar is for trapping the black shadow Venerable, so it will not allow a second primordial spirit. Regardless of the second primordial spirit’s will, the power of the altar forcibly combines it with the main primordial spirit of the black shadow Venerable.
A black shadow is stripped away from the bat ring by the altar. The battle between two primordial spirits is about to begin.
Mu Tiannan has collapsed to the ground in pain. He grits his teeth and smiles, “The ring has been placed on the altar. What’s the point of holding on to me?”
The black shadow Venerable ignores him. Roddick has always been suppressed as the second primordial spirit. Now it finally can laugh, “Can’t you tell? Yellow-skinned monkey, since the very beginning, you have been a body container it raised. You are a shell prepared for its own primordial spirit. How can it let you go easily?”
Mu Tiannan’s complexion changes drastically and Roddick feels very happy. It is about to ridicule him with a few more words, but it does not find Mu Tiannan’s smiling eyes when he lowers his head.
“I knew it.”
His voice is gentle and peaceful, and his pale face flushes with excitement, making him look like a castaway nobleman. Although his clothes are ragged, he is still glowing.
Yes. When he had the deal with the devil, he knew that he couldn’t quit easily once he chose this way. Therefore, he has prepared that he would pay a heavy price for freedom one day!
The black shadow Venerable senses the abnormal mood of Mu Tiannan while the second primordial spirit senses the Venerable is distracted at this moment. It feels that this is a unique opportunity so it launches an attack. The second primordial spirit thinks it should take advantage of its weakness and kill it now!
The black shadow Venerable doesn’t care too much about it. It has just been a few years since the second primordial spirit was separated. It is not able to rebel at all.
The black shadow Venerable always thinks Mu Tiannan can never escape. However, he also chooses the same moment to rebel!
The thorns of the bat ring are still connected to his joints. Mu Tiannan knows this is his only chance. He can’t remove the ring. The only choice he has is acting desperately to survive—“sacrifice the knights in order to save the queen”!
As blood sprinkles like rain, Mu Tiannan disappears in an instant.
An arm is broken at the elbow, lying in a pool of blood on the ground. The slender fingers are still connected to the bat ring on the altar by red thorns. The vigorous smell of blood excites the blood bats and they all flutter around.
The black shadow Venerable is fighting with the second primordial spirit for control. It is stunned immediately, and the second primordial spirit also freezes.
They compete for control. After that, they definitely need a body to leave the Lost Land with twelve jade plates. However, their chosen body abandons an arm and runs away regardless of the blood poison remaining in his body.
Things become a little troublesome.
Roddick laughs triumphantly in the ring. The yellow-skinned monkey tricked it, and the old bat occupying its room also doesn’t get any benefits. Shouldn’t it be happy?
The black shadow Venerable is fighting with the second primordial spirit and it releases a gust of black smoke. The bat ring is sizzling loudly while it is being corroded. Roddick’s laughter is fading.
It whispers, “Look, Crystal, they kill each other.”
Crystal certainly can’t hear it. Roddick’s voice is blown away by the wind, and it is inaudible in the sound of bats flapping their wings.
Crystal died of Heaven’s Doom triggered by the old bat. Roddick also died of the old bat. Perhaps it is because of doomed ties between Western Blood Line and Eastern bat monsters.
The black shadow Venerable destroys talkative Roddick. With a wave of his hand, tens of thousands of blood bats fly out from the endless cave, following the taste of the broken arm on the ground. They cover the sky and the sun. Wherever they go, monsters of secret land escape all around, not daring to face the sharp momentum.
Mu Tiannan is now a hundred miles away. He has forborne patiently for many years. If Lin Luoran hadn’t entered the secret land together, he would have been transported out of the Lost Land after he broke his arm and got rid of the ring. He would have destroyed all jade plates so the old monster would be left in secret land forever.
But Lin Luoran was also here.
Mu Tiannan smiles bitterly. He can’t stop the bleeding of his broken arm. Those blood poisons are destroying his body. If he hadn’t cultivated to be a monster with the body of a human, his physical body would not have been so strong. The pain of blood poison is so bad that it makes people want to commit suicide.
He can’t stop the bleeding, so he can only seal up the veins of his body. The bleeding is gradually stopped, and half of his body is almost paralyzed. It is not possible for him to move.
Is his pursuer coming soon?
Bats have no eyesight and they rely on sound waves to locate. Vampire bats are different from ordinary bats in that they are naturally more sensitive to blood.
When Mu Tiannan escapes, he passes through seven water pools and three swamps. He takes a bath for ten times. Finally, he even jumps into a mud puddle to cover up the smell of blood completely.
Then he gets a simple flight cabin that can only accommodate two people from the pendant world hanging around his neck. He comes on board and lays down. When the door is closed, three hours has passed since Mu Tiannan escaped from the bat cave.
Three hours later, he finally can relax to deal with his wounds.
The flight cabin is small so it is considered as simplicity. Mu Tiannan’s storage pendant is only a few square meters in size. It is extremely difficult to obtain this flight cabin under all-day surveillance of the old bat and Roddick. It is the latest simple flight cabin invented by high-rank alliances in the Galaxy with advanced space technology.
Its small size enables it to travel at a faster speed. The outer cabin made of new alloy will not be damaged by the sharp claws of blood bats. Even though Mu Tiannan has great ability, it is still not easy for him to get such a flight cabin.
However, it is worthy.
The soft brush in the cabin gives Mu Tiannan an air bath, and then drains the muddy water out of the cabin. After that, it disinfects and bandages him.
Mu Tiannan lays in the cabin. Hiding safely, he then chooses to search around. The flight cabin disappears in place.
The analysis data is constantly flashing on the screen. Lost Land is full of mysteries and rampant monsters. In this place, data analysis becomes inaccurate. Sometimes the screen will be filled with question marks.
Unlike Lin Luoran, Mu Tiannan has prepared to enter Lost Land for a long time. In addition to the jade plates that can help to transmit, he also tries very hard to collect secret land maps compiled by cultivators of various countries in the past few years.
Mu Tiannan has just regained freedom. Driving the flight cabin to wander on the edge of areas marked dangerous, he doesn’t even feel tired at all.
In fact, his lips look pale and bloodless. What he needs most at this moment is a good rest.
As the flight cabin searches all the way, some messy codes suddenly flash on the screen that Mu Tiannan is staring at.
He feels that the flight cabin is hit by something, and then it shakes violently.
A snake’s head stretches out and it looks at the slippery iron box. Through the cold metal, it can feel the fluctuation of jade plates.
Another snake’s head also stretches out. It looks at the weird-looking box, and chooses to turn it over without hesitation.
The flight cabin shakes. Mu Tiannan is about to command the cabin to fly high when the tail of the double-headed snake follows up.
“You have jade plates with you.”
It’s the first sentence the double-headed snake says.
Mu Tiannan puts his finger on the button. As long as he presses it gently, strong acid will be sprayed fromthe surface of the cabin. He specially prepares this for bats and he hopes this big snake will also like it—
“She also has jade plates… you are teammates.”
Mu Tiannan stops. The double-headed snake shakes its heads and laughs quietly.
“Oh, you are also attacked by blood poison of the old bat. Hand over the jade plates and I will send you out of secret land. Or maybe… you want to be sent back to the bat cave?”
Mu Tiannan now only has a right hand and it gets a little stiff.
On the other side, when Mu Tiannan is choosing, the white light in the underground palace of the lotus pond has already hit towards Lin Luoran’s eyebrows—
