Top enlightenment at 100 years old-Chapter 626 - 615: Blood-Colored Tokens, Sudden Ambush
"What is this place?"
Ji Haoyuan immediately used the Dao Eye for observation.
In the next instant, his pupils involuntarily contracted.
Because under his Dao Eye, he surprisingly discovered that all the plants shrouded in the dense fog were growing sharp teeth like reversed thorns.
And on them, there was an incredibly terrifying devouring Dao resonance pervading.
"Be careful!"
Wei Tian suddenly spoke to warn.
In the next moment, Ji Haoyuan and the other two heard a piercing scream in their ears.
Buzz!
Instantly, all three felt their Primordial Spirits tremble.
As if an extremely sharp steel needle aimed to pierce their minds and delve deep into their Primordial Spirits.
Boom!
At that very moment, an incomparably brilliant blaze rose from Ji Haoyuan’s body.
The blaze formed a spear in mid-air and shot explosively towards a certain patch of forest ahead.
Rumble!
Resembling rampant thunder.
The entire dense fog was shaken apart in a large area in that instant.
As the blaze burned, a vast area of plants ahead fell into that boundless sea of fire.
However, to Ji Haoyuan, Wei Tian, and Wei Qinglan’s surprise, amidst the burning plants emerged cries akin to a baby’s wail.
Whoosh!
Simultaneously, a light blade accompanied by fierce screeches suddenly swept out from behind them, aiming directly at their necks.
"Courting death!"
Feeling the threat of the light blade, Wei Tian swept his hand through the void.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
An intense trembling immediately resounded through the air.
Next, a massive array of knife lights like a waterfall clashed fiercely with the approaching light blade from behind.
Rumble!
Instantaneously, the space shattered explosively.
But, within that sky-filled brilliance, a giant shadow suddenly swooped down towards them.
This caused Wei Tian and Wei Qinglan’s pupils to contract slightly.
Ji Haoyuan hesitated not in the slightest.
He reached for the Immortal Treasure bow and pulled it to a full moon.
With a zing.
An arrow imbued with infinite sharpness abruptly broke through time and space, instantly arriving before the colossal shadow.
"Roar!"
Accompanied by a dazzling blaze rising, the three of them clearly saw.
Opposite them stood a creature covered in rotting scales, with a human head and serpent body.
Its back startlingly bore a pair of giant white bone wings.
As they flapped, endless rules of desolation followed along.
Hit by Ji Haoyuan’s Immortal Treasure arrow, its body immediately splattered with patches of dark light.
Ji Haoyuan, however, showed no courtesy towards it.
He continuously pulled the bowstring.
In a blink, he fired dozens of arrows consecutively.
Rumble!
With a massive explosion, the creature with white bone wings and a human head snake body, its enormous form was blasted apart.
Soon, powder like gray ash scattered down.
Ji Haoyuan saw clearly, within the fragments of ash appeared a hexagonal object akin to a Blood Crystal.
Swish!
Ji Haoyuan immediately grabbed it.
Wei Tian and Wei Qinglan promptly moved close to inspect.
After a brief moment.
Wei Tian spoke, "This thing, could it be the token of the secret site’s classic inheritance?"
Wei Qinglan said, "Just one of these, probably isn’t enough.
Perhaps we need to collect a certain quantity."
Listening to the siblings’ words, Ji Haoyuan pondered slightly.
If that’s the case, the most important task for them thereafter is collecting similar token-like Blood Crystals.
And in the ensuing time, their experiences gradually confirmed Ji Haoyuan’s speculation.
Because in the following days, they encountered many similar monsters.
Whenever they killed those monsters, such a token-like Blood Crystal would be left on them.
Several days later.
Ji Haoyuan and the others departed from the forest-like region, arriving on a vast plain.
But to their astonishment, no matter where they went, the surrounding fog never diminished even slightly.
Most importantly, as they proceeded deeper, the fog increasingly impaired their senses.
At least Ji Haoyuan believed that without using the Dao Eye, he could only discern a range of about one hundred miles.
A hundred miles may seem vast, but for Immortals at their level, it is scarcely any different from having something at arm’s length.
In the event of any disturbance, this distance would be far inadequate as a safe buffer zone.
Swish!
While continuing forward, ripples suddenly stirred in the void around them.
In the next moment, an extremely terrifying sword aura suddenly appeared behind the three.
"Who is it?"
Wei Tian focused his gaze.
In the next instant, an extraordinarily brilliant blade light sliced out from his hand.
Crash!
The blade light seemed to cleave through time and space, containing countless floating rule fragments.
With a thunderous boom.
An upward light flame soared in the air.
Wei Tian, surprisingly, staggered back several steps.
"Brother!"
Wei Qinglan immediately advanced with concern.
Ji Haoyuan also raised his eyes towards them.
He saw Wei Tian gently shake his head at them.
Then, his and Ji Haoyuan’s and Wei Qinglan’s gaze turned forward.
Over there.
At some unclear time, four figures appeared.
Leading them was a youth clad in blue robes.
He emanated a mysterious Dao resonance all around him, accompanied by brilliant Immortal light.
He appeared as if a Celestial King descending from the nine heavens.
Ji Haoyuan confirmed he didn’t recognize the individual.
He glanced towards the Wei siblings beside him.
He saw confusion reflected in their eyes.
Then Wei Tian spoke up, "Fellow Daoist, between us, shouldn’t there be any past grievances?
Could you explain your actions just now?"
"Swish!"
The blue-robed youth smiled faintly.
Looking at Wei Tian, Ji Haoyuan, and the others, he spoke in a commanding tone:
"It’s just that I want something from you.
Hand over those bloody tokens you obtained earlier. I dislike repeating myself." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
"Bloody tokens?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Haoyuan and the Wei siblings instantly realized what he referred to.
Simultaneously, a surge of anger brewed in their hearts.
After all, the opponent had just now attacked them without holding back.
Now, he spoke in a condescending and self-righteous manner, as if dismissing their very presence.
