Chapter 848 Dragon Blood


Chapter 848 Dragon Blood
In the Dragon King Temple, Mo Hua was leading the way.

But the atmosphere in the team was somewhat strange.

Gu Changhuai and Xia Diansi were on the left and right, one step behind him, protecting the ink painting and also watching out for Xiao Diansi.

Xiao Diansi still had a fake smile on his face, but now Tu Qiong saw that his smile was really only superficial.

The attitude of others towards Xiao Diansi was also very subtle.

Shui Yanluo is obviously in the same group as Xiao Diansi. The two of them must have some intersection, overtly or covertly.

When they were hunting water bandits on the island before, Shui Yanluo was able to escape from the hands of Gu Changhuai and Xia Diansi because it was Xiao Diansi who saved him.

Therefore, Shui Yanluo obeyed Xiao Diansi's words.

But at the same time, he seemed a little wary of Xiao Diansi, and even had some inexplicable fear.

This is very rare in the murderous Shui Yama.

Xie Liu obviously also vaguely knew Xiao Diansi's identity.

At this time, among the several golden elixirs in the Dragon King Temple, he had the lowest status, the weakest strength, and the smallest say. Therefore, he could only hang out behind Xiao Diansi, who was barely considered 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 like-minded.

But after Xiao Diansi jumped back, 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".

But on the surface, Xiao Diansi no longer embarrasses 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 expression.

Mo Hua led the way, following the traces of the bloody monster, and occasionally asked Xia Shuiyan about the layout of the Dragon King Temple to determine the route.

Among this group of people, only Mo Hua is a demon hunter.

Although Daoting Si Diansi can also hunt, they are hunting people.

Although criminal cultivators like Shui Yanluo are familiar with hunting, they are usually hunted.

Only Mo Hua is a true demon hunter.

Therefore, no one among the monks present was 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 beams, 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, the monster disappeared.

Mo Hua could only guess, calculate, and look for 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 gently, and landed lightly on the beam.

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 that 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 trace 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.

Fragrant?

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, a dragon's roar sounded in his ears.

Mo Hua's pupils trembled.

"dragon……"

Although he had never seen a real dragon or 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 the 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 allowed Mo Hua to 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'?"

Could the scales on its body 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.

Dragons are mythical beasts and would 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. In this way, 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. Only then could it grow such hard "dragon scales", possess such deep blood, and have such 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 wary of each other, so they didn't go up to see it in person.

Mo Hua said: "There is a nest where monsters once lived. It's probably not far away. You can look for it again."

He hid the dragon blood thing.

Xiao Diansi couldn't have thought of it, so he just nodded, "Okay."

After that, ink painting still led the way.

But he circled around the area and found a lot of the monster's whereabouts, but he couldn't see the monster at all.

While Mo Hua was frowning and thinking, his heart suddenly trembled, as if something was beating.

"Dragon blood..."

The dragon's blood he had just licked seemed to come back to him now.

Mo Hua felt that the blood flow in his body seemed to be 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 little by little, devouring his blood.

Even if there is only a trace of dragon blood.

Moreover, it may not be the blood of a true dragon.

But with his frail body, he simply couldn't bear it.

Mo Hua's physical body is too weak and his bloodline is weak. The power of this "dragon" far exceeds the load of his body.

"It's over. If I had known better, I wouldn't have eaten randomly..."

Mo Hua felt regretful in his heart.

Fortunately, things like dragon blood are not something he can just eat if he wants.

He just licked a little bit, 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 let out a long sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Xia Diansi's expression changed slightly. He stretched out his white palm, gently wiped Mo Hua's forehead, and frowned: "Mo Hua? 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.

It's so good, how can I have a bad stomach?
"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 felt it carefully, he discovered that it was not his own heart that was beating, but another heart...

The monster's "heart"?
Mo Hua closed his eyes, holding his breath and concentrating. After a moment, he opened his eyes, his expression suddenly enlightened.

Not the beating of the heart.

But...a kind of induction between souls.

Mo Hua frowned slightly.

He had just eaten a trace of dragon blood. This trace of dragon blood seems to contain the "spirit" of an ancient mythical beast.

And through this trace of "dragon blood", the ink painting seems to have a subtle connection with the "soul" of this ancient mythical beast.

He could sense the flow of other dragon blood in the Dragon King Temple.

In other words, it can sense... the location of the monster.

Mo Hua felt a little unbelievable.

Does the dragon's blood contain "soul"?
Why?
The reason why mythical beasts like 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.

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 strange, so he had no doubts.

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 who silently looked 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 Mo Hua 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 in the field, either Diansi or evil cultivators, were rich in experience. They 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 unknown reasons, and then suddenly encountered vicious hands and were slaughtered.

The murderer does not use magic or spiritual weapons, he 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 was a plaque hanging high in the main hall. It was wide and thick, with blue paint as the base and ancient gold hot stamping. There were three large characters written on the plaque:

"Yaksha Hall".

Everyone looked in the direction of Mo Hua's finger and frowned.

Shui Yanluo said: "Where is the monster?"

"It feels like 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 a slash, 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 demon hunters for generations. My demon hunting skills are all 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 will never be defeated in a hundred battles. 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 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 the scale armor it wears, it 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, "Can't it be broken even by the combined efforts of peak foundation-building monks?"

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 and 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 monsters 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 unknown sources in its body 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 set them up in advance."

Everyone hesitated.

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, and my spiritual consciousness is limited. 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 painting 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 felt that these words were okay.

Mo Hua added: "The situation is urgent. We should all 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 keep 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, a second-grade snare. It can tie up the enemy for a while."

"It's inconvenient to arrange the formation. I rarely use it, so I usually don't bring it..."

With Gu Changhuai and Xia Diansi taking the lead, others more or less brought something out.

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, and secretly withheld the spiritual weapon or formation that "trapped the enemy", so he 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..."

In this way, Mo Hua gathered the wool and "collected" all the formations and spiritual weapons used to trap and bind the enemy from almost everyone.

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.

The plaque was made of unknown materials. It was as solid as gold and iron and had never broken. However, it fell from the eaves after being struck by the sword energy, revealing a dark and bloody hole behind it.

"really……"

Xiao Diansi's pupils narrowed.

Then there was a sound in the cave, and a monster holding a fleshy limb and eating deliciously slowly came out.

As if its meal was suddenly interrupted, the monster was furious, its eyes were blood red, and it screamed.

The sound was very strange, like a man-eating yaksha in the river, or some kind of powerful alien beast.

Mo Hua heard it now and could distinguish it clearly.

The sound of this monster is a bit like... "dragon roar".

Mo Hua's eyes flashed slightly.

Now that the monster has appeared, everyone started to attack without hesitation.

The war is about to break out.

Gu Changhuai activated the green 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 sword technique from the Xiao family.

Ouyang Feng was injured and Hua Qianqian was poisoned, so the two couldn't 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, with four Jindans joining forces, Mo Hua wasn't worried at all.

Everything is going according to his plan.
