Seeking the Tao in the Mortal World

Chapter 65: Dragon-Shaped Peach

This time, the peach didn’t come for anyone. It seemed to fly through the air aimlessly, as fast as a shooting star. Qin Yi jumped up and grabbed it.

It was soft to the touch and had the fragrance of peach. It really looked like a real peach, but Qin Yi knew very well that this was definitely not a peach. How could there be a peach in the world that couldn’t be smashed by his home run? Not even the skin was torn! Even flat peach couldn’t do it!

“It is transformed by a voodoo spell.” Liu Su said, “It’s actually the refined soul snatch fine gold, which is a very hard weapon-refining material, but it was refined into the shape of a peach.”

“This touch doesn’t feel like it is an illusion.”

“Who told you it was an illusion? It was just refined into this appearance. Voodoo is good at doing these tricks, turning people into frogs, and so on. It’s boring.” Liu Su said with contempt, “Immortal arts are the real ones. There are thousands of changes, changing people, changing oneself, weaving clouds into clothes, and riding hurricanes as horses. You can make up the story of Journey to the West, why are you even surprised by this?”

Qin Yi’s heart was pounding.

But at the moment, he had no time to think about the future. The first priority was to solve the problem in the pool and save Ye Ling.

“The Blood Scaled Dragon in the pool was originally so close to the peach, but it was not affected by the charm. It is not because it has high cultivation to resist the charm, but because it is raised by the person who refined the peach, so it has resistance against the peach.” Liu Su said, “But it definitely can’t resist eating the peach!”

Qin Yi knew what to do. He waited attentively while holding up the peach.

Ye Ling knows that I’m standing on the edge of the pool, so she will definitely lead the Blood Scaled Dragon up so that I can help.

That’s the opportunity!

Sure enough, not long after, there was a loud sound of water. Ye Ling rushed out of the blood pool again, and the dragon’s head followed closely, almost biting Ye Ling’s tail.

“Eat this!” Qin Yi waved his hand vigorously and accurately threw the peach into the dragon’s mouth.

The dragon seemed to pause for a moment.

Ye Ling fell to the edge of the pool. Her snake’s body was mutilated with deep wounds all over. Mixing with the blood of the blood pool, she completely turned into a bloody snake. She couldn’t even open her wings and lay dying on the ground.

In fact, the battle lasted only a short time. From the time she took the peach, Qin Yi changed the array, the battle below the pool, and the peach flew in, there were only a dozen seconds in total. On the contrary, Qin Yi was standing longer at the edge of the pool with the peach…

There was a big gap in level between her and Blood Scaled Dragon. She could survive because her snake body was not affected by the blood pool and was very slippery. On the contrary, the scaled dragon’s body was too big to move at the bottom of the pool, so Ye Ling could barely dodge many fatal attacks.

If Qin Yi didn’t have a solution for the scaled dragon, then she would really be a dead snake.

The peach’s charm actually had an impact on Ye Ling. She also felt that her thinking was sluggish. Her mind was full of violence and desire to tear everything apart and bite…

But I’m too tired… Let’s go to sleep…

Ye Ling fainted. Her last consciousness was that she entered a warm embrace.

Its the smell of Qin Yi…

Qin Yi held Ye Ling in his arms and ran away immediately. That Blood Scaled Dragon had gone crazy!

A huge scaled dragon that was tens of meters long and wider than a house suddenly flew up from the blood pool with a deafening roar. Blood rain splattered all over. Every drop of blood caused a deep pit on the ground.

It had gone rampant…

The dragon was at the peak of the Morph Stage and was rampant. Only a fool would fight it. Qin Yi rushed towards the giant tree with the core array again.

The Blood Scaled Dragon roared madly and flew toward Qin Yi. The huge scaled dragon body formed a sharp contrast with Qin Yi’s figure below, like a mouse running under an aeroplane.

“Thud!” The dragon slammed to the ground hard. Qin Yi rolled and narrowly avoided the slam. A huge deep hole was caused by the slam. Many beastkins that were wailing and rolling in agony on the ground were smashed into meat pies.

With the power of this Blood Scaled Dragon, the beastkin refining array probably would be less effective to it. At most, it would feel painful, but it would not lose its combat effectiveness.

Qin Yi was very calm. He rolled up on the ground, immediately rushed toward the giant tree, and reached for the array core.

The raised meridian patterns on the ground slowly sank again as if they were one with the ground.

The noisy beastkin wailing sound soon stopped. Countless beastkins stood up and stared at the Blood Scaled Dragon’s belly with burning eyes.

The “peach”, that was impossible to digest, was still affecting their thinking.

Layers upon layers of mindless beastkins rushed toward the Blood Scaled Dragon fearlessly. That was a dragon-shaped peach!

The ants kill the elephant.

What’s more, the gap between ants and an elephant was not as big. The lowest level here was the Spirit Initiation Stage, and the high level ranged from the Morph Stage early stage to the intermediate stage. Maybe they couldn’t fight the Blood Scaled Dragon on their own under the effect of the array, but what about thousands of them?

Qin Yi once said that even Ming He couldn’t do it… Since Ming He couldn’t do it, this Blood Scaled Dragon obviously couldn’t either.

The scene was filled with earth-shaking roars and various energy blasts. It was very chaotic. Qin Yi carried Ye Ling, turned around behind the giant tree, and took a breather.

I really didn’t expect that the sea of ??skeletons in the first level was so easy, but the second level was already a near dead experience. It was all because someone wanted to refine the Flying Serpent.

I don’t know if I’m having good luck or bad luck. We happened to come at the moment the master of this place wanted to sacrifice these thousands of beastkins, which made the situation very complicated. But then again, it seems better than facing the master directly?

But here comes the question, what is this person doing now? This place has been messed up like this; the Blood Lotus has been picked; the blood pool is half ruined too; the Blood Scaled Dragon has even gone crazy, but why hasn’t he shown up yet?

While Qin Yi was thinking, he quickly stuffed a pill into the mouth of the dying Ye Ling.

After stuffing it in, he discovered that the Blood Lotus had been lying quietly in Ye Ling’s mouth.

No wonder she remains silent.

But this also means that she couldn’t release the heavenly flame, and she couldn’t bite. She is really purely dodging at the bottom of the pool without counterattacking once…

Qin Yi took off the Blood Lotus distressedly and tore off his cloth lining to bandage her body.

Almost no part of the snake’s body is intact. Some of the injuries are deep into the bones… Such a small snake body, if the wound was deeper, her body could be broken into 2 halves.

“I was careless… I shouldn’t let her get the Blood Lotus…”

Liu Su said, “She also wants to take revenge on the master of this place, so taking the lotus and running away is the best way. You don’t have to feel bad. Her gains this time are much greater than her injuries.”

“You mean Blood Lotus? Is it good for her?”

“Of course. It’s very useful to her. But we’ll talk about this later. Now is not the time to think about it. The master of this place hasn’t shown up yet probably because he was delayed by something important. Once he has dealt with it, we will definitely die.”

“Any suggestions?”

“Go to the other colored areas marked on the map and hide at the edge. This amateur shaman will never dare to go to those dangerous areas, otherwise he would not be trapped in this desolate land.” Liu Su pondered for a moment, then continued, “Actually, I think this person’s real strength may not be much higher than the Blood Scaled Dragon he raised. At least he is not strong enough to kill so many beastkin monsters alone, so he has to set up a trap. Wait until you find a place to digest the experience gained, and Ye Ling has made further progress, you could even kill him later.”

Qin Yi felt that it was reasonable. He bandaged Ye Ling’s injury and wanted to leave immediately.

At this moment, a figure rolled down the hillside.

Human? Ye Ling said that this place cannot transform into the human form. Does it mean that he is the master of this place?

Qin Yi immediately waved his mace.

He took a closer look, but was stunned.

It was a woman rolling down the slope.

Not only it was just a woman, but Qin Yi didn’t feel any spiritual force from her at all. She was not even martial artist… just an ordinary person!

Just a moment, the woman rolled to his side. She was stopped by a tree trunk. She seemed to have fainted.

This was a woman with a good figure, but she was dressed very conservatively and tightly. The style of her clothes and hairpins was also a bit weird, which reminded Qin Yi of some ethnic minority costumes. Her clothes had been torn rolling down the hill.

Her face was also covered with bloodstains from scratches by rocks. Her face was covering with dirt.

“…Stick Stick, can you sense her spiritual force?”

Liu Su also sounded very confused, “She really has no cultivation.”

“What about beastkin aura?” Qin Yi knew that Liu Su could now sense the beastkin aura. Its soul had been nourished very well recently. This could be seen from the fact that it was able to help in the last few battles. Previously, it had no power at all.

“No beastkin aura too…” Liu Su hesitated rarely. It seemed a little unsure, “My soul power is still a bit weak after all. If she hides it well…”

Before it finished speaking, it denied itself again, “But she has already fainted. How could she still hide from me…”

Qin Yi looked at it blankly.

Then, this is really an ordinary person who doesn’t even have a cultivation?
