Capítulo 1226: Chapter 1211: Small Arsenal
The three of them instinctively looked at their legs and feet, which were stepping in the grass, and now were dripping with blood, countless thorn-like weeds had silently pierced into their skin.
Among the thorn-like weeds, a few spots of crisp green were strikingly conspicuous.
What terrified Hee Cheng and Jiangg Changzhong was that the blood flowing from the wounds on their legs had already started to turn green and black, clearly indicating that those thorny weeds piercing their skin were poisonous.
As for Jiangg Hao, whose cultivation reached the Fourth Stage of the Dao Entrance Realm, his expression turned incredibly fascinating in an instant.
“Spiritual power, why can’t I activate my spiritual power! My divine soul power, why can’t I activate my divine soul power…”
Jiangg Hao’s cultivation at the Fourth Stage of the Dao Entrance Realm was quite strong. To deal with him steadily, Ye Zhen specifically gave Little Demon a bit of Jade Finger Scorpion Poison, resulting in the current scene of Jiangg Hao’s immense fear.
He could feel the spiritual power within his upper and lower dantian, his Spirit Palace was intact, but he couldn’t mobilize any power.
“No worries, it’s just a little poison!”
Ye Zhen chuckled heartily, his hands flew like lightning, directly sealing off Jiangg Hao’s limbs’ joints, thoroughly sealing his divine soul power, then Little Demon drove the thirty Plum Blossom Essence-Stealing Needles into the bodies of Jiangg Hao, Hee Cheng, and Jiangg Changzhong.
The soul-devouring characteristic of the Plum Blossom Essence-Stealing Needles was brought to the extreme under Little Demon’s influence, madly extracting the spiritual power from the three people’s bodies.
Jiangg Hao, Hee Cheng, and Jiangg Changzhong’s expressions were as if they’d seen a ghost, screaming silently, only the rapidly depleting spiritual power inside them steadily proclaiming that their lives were on a countdown.
Hee Cheng and Jiangg Changzhong were one thing, but Jiangg Hao, this Fourth Stage Dao Entrance Realm entity, had boundlessly abundant cultivation and spiritual power, almost like a river, while Little Demon’s cultivation aura within the Yimu Spiritual Vein surged crazily.
The speed at which the thirty-six Plum Blossom Essence-Stealing Needles extracted spiritual power from Jiangg Hao’s body was incredibly fast, and Jiangg Hao’s cultivation aura was rapidly plummeting.
Third Stage of Dao Entrance Realm!
Second Stage of Dao Entrance Realm!
First Stage of Dao Entrance Realm!
Ninth Stage Establishment!
Ninth Stage of Vein Forging Realm!
In less than half a quarter-hour, Jiangg Hao’s cultivation fell below the Vein Forging Realm, that trace of spiritual power was nearly negligible, and Jiangg Hao instantly appeared to have aged decades, his eyebrows and beard turning extremely gray and withered.
Meanwhile, Little Demon’s cultivation rose from mid-stage of the First Stage of the Dao Entrance Realm to the late Second Stage of the Dao Entrance Realm.
As for Hee Cheng and Jiangg Changzhong, under the extraction of the Plum Blossom Essence-Stealing Needles, they couldn’t hold on for even fifty breaths and were drained completely. Their cultivation was almost negligible to Little Demon.
The only pity is, Ye Zhen could not benefit from this kind of extracted foreign cultivation.
Only a freak like Little Demon, relying on the traits of various strange woods and grasses, could absorb others’ cultivation with impunity.
Of course, Ye Zhen had no intention of wasting these three.
Under the incomparably terrified gaze of the three, Ye Zhen directly smashed their top of the skulls, forcibly shattered the Spirit Palaces already on the verge of collapse due to spiritual depletion, extracted their innate divine souls, laid on heavy seals, and threw them into the storage ring.
When time permits, these three, especially Jiangg Hao, could at least add a bit to Ye Zhen’s divine soul cultivation.
Ye Zhen didn’t overlook their storage rings either.
Particularly Jiangg Hao’s storage ring, which piqued Ye Zhen’s anticipation.
Previously, that incredibly terrifying Sky-Breaking Dragon-Slaying Crossbow was retrieved from Jiangg Hao’s storage ring.
A powerful divine sense directly blasted open Jiangg Hao’s storage ring, yet Ye Zhen’s expression was somewhat disappointed.
There was no Sky-Breaking Dragon-Slaying Crossbow, presumably such a priceless strategic weapon had to be left behind when Jiangg Hao departed.
It must be said that this trio of Jiangg Hao, Hee Cheng, and Jiangg Changzhong were penniless.
The three of them combined had only about two hundred thousand low grade spirit stones.
As for the Psychic Spirit Pills that Ye Zhen desperately needed, Hee Cheng and Jiangg Changzhong together had only four and a half, while Jiangg Hao had twelve.
Though the quantity was quite limited, it was barely enough for Ye Zhen to cultivate for a while.
When leaving Xiansheng Water Mansion, Ye Zhen left all the more than a hundred Psychic Spirit Pills gained from the Chi Jiao to Liao Feibai and the three Great Saints of Jinghai.
Ye Zhen understood that the three Great Brothers of Jinghai chose to stay in Xiansheng Water Mansion not just because it suited their development but also because it served as a gateway to and from the True Profound Continent, and they only felt assured by personally guarding it.
With a casual flick of a Green Flame Skyfire, in a few breaths, the three bodies turned to ashes.
Carelessly hitching up his pants, Ye Zhen swaggered back to the camp, swaying with each step.
Perhaps due to the geomagnetic field and power of the earth vein or some other unidentified reason, the range of divine sense radiation was significantly compressed.
On the True Profound Continent, with Ye Zhen’s four-colored innate soul light, the divine sense could radiate within a twenty-mile range at full power regardless of consumption. If confined to a one-mile radius, it could be sustained with minimal consumption.
However, on the Primordial Continent, this range was forcibly shrunk by tenfold.
Even when Ye Zhen exerted all his strength, his Divine Sense could only spread within a kilometer radius at most, and in this state, Ye Zhen could only persist for a hundred breaths before his Divine Soul Power was completely exhausted.
Under normal circumstances, when Ye Zhen spread his Divine Sense within a hundred-meter radius, the consumption of Divine Soul Power was at an acceptable level.
This weakening left Ye Zhen a bit helpless. Vaguely, he could sense that compared to the True Profound Continent, the Primordial Continent seemed to have countless unseen restraints.
Perhaps this was what was known as the Heavenly Dao.
The only thing to be grateful for was that Ye Zhen’s ability to attach Divine Sense Power to Water Spiritual Power and Earth Spiritual Power was not significantly affected in straight-line control, but it was very laborious to disperse it broadly.
Normally, Ye Zhen could only spread the Four-colored Innate Soul Light to about a hundred meters, so how far could ordinary martial artists with Three-colored Innate Soul Light spread theirs?
Therefore, Ye Zhen wasn’t at all worried that Princess Jie Youu and Guo Yu left in the camp would discover the commotion here.
So, when Ye Zhen returned boldly with his waistband pulled up, Guo Yu, who had been watching expectantly, immediately changed his expression and subconsciously asked, “Huh, where are they? Didn’t you run into Commander Jiangg and the others?”
“Oh, Commander Jiangg, those three discovered a demon that has been tracking us and went to hunt it down!” Ye Zhen chuckled.
Hearing this, Guo Yu was suddenly taken aback, “There’s really a demon?”
As soon as he spoke, Guo Yu immediately realized that the so-called demon story was entirely concocted by the four of them to fool Princess Jie Youu. Moreover, even if there were a demon, Jiangg Hao should be dealing with Ye Zhen, not leading people to hunt it down.
Though he realized it, unfortunately, it was too late.
“There is indeed!” Ye Zhen’s mouth curled into a grim smile, and a beam of Soul Refining Divine Light suddenly shot from his eyes, directly striking Guo Yu’s forehead, catching him off guard.
Guo Yu didn’t even let out a scream, his eyes opened wide, the light in them fading instantly, and he fell heavily to the ground with a thud.
“What happened?”
The intense Divine Soul Waves from the Soul Refining Divine Light alarmed Princess Jie Youu inside the tent, and a shadow inside the tent got up, seemingly about to come out.
Ye Zhen, almost at the fastest speed, flashed to Guo Yu’s side, snatched the storage ring from Guo Yu’s hand, and stuffed Guo Yu’s body into the Red Moon Soul Ring.
Having completed all this, he stood still just as Princess Jie Youu emerged from the tent.
“Where are Commander Jiangg and Young Master Guo? Why are they all gone?” Seeing only Ye Zhen left, Princess Jie Youu was somewhat puzzled.
“Your Highness, Commander Guo and the others just discovered traces of a demon that has been tracking us these past few days, and the four of them went to hunt it down,” Ye Zhen said.
“Demon?”
Having been abducted once, Princess Jie Youu shuddered suddenly, her face turning pale as she retreated back into the tent, then poked her head out again, saying, “Guard Ye, you… stay a bit closer to my tent…”
Ye Zhen smiled silently, walked close to Princess Jie Youu’s tent, and sat down cross-legged, a wisp of Divine Sense probing into Guo Yu’s storage ring, and his mood instantly turned a bit joyous.
It seemed that Chief Guo spared no expense for his illegitimate son after gaining the title, earning substantial military credits.
There weren’t many Psychic Spirit Pills, just over fifty.
But various healing and detoxifying pills, each type had more than ten bottles, and there were dozens of Spirit Talismans for escaping and safeguarding.
At any rate, Ye Zhen saw five Ten Thousand Miles Cloud Smoke Talismans alone.
The number of Low Grade Spirit Stones actually exceeded a million, Mid-grade Spirit Stones were over ten thousand, and there were more than a hundred High Grade Spiritual Stones with green light flowing, seemingly containing extremely pure Spiritual Power.
But the most precious wasn’t these, but the controlled military weapons of the Great Zhou Empire stored in the storage ring, practically a small armory.
After mixing on the Red Maple Ship for half a month, Ye Zhen had learned a lot.
For instance, the Flame Spirit Burst Demon Crossbow was a powerful single-soldier military crossbow.
The crossbow wasn’t large, just over a meter, but combined with its matching set of Flame Spirit Burst Demon Arrows, one shot could blow a Peak Ninth Stage Establishment Realm existence to pieces.
But this Flame Spirit Burst Demon Crossbow fired ten arrows with one pull, and even if the opponent had a Soul Artifact for protection, it could be blasted.
Even a Dao Entrance Realm existence with a Soul Artifact for protection could be seriously injured.
And in Guo Yu’s storage ring, there were unexpectedly twenty Flame Spirit Burst Demon Crossbows!
If twenty Flame Spirit Burst Demon Crossbows fired ten arrows each simultaneously, they could certainly form suppressive firepower, potentially even stalling a Divine Communication Realm existence.
After Guo Yu assumed military duties, with the distribution of these twenty Flame Spirit Burst Demon Crossbows among dozens of staunch loyalists, he could indeed sweep an army of about a thousand.
It would be hard not to earn military credits.
Even more astonishing, in Guo Yu’s storage ring, there were actually as many as two thousand cases of Flame Spirit Burst Demon Arrows engraved with countless Talisman Patterns to match the Flame Spirit Burst Demon Crossbows!
Ten per case, that’s twenty thousand arrows, enough for these twenty Flame Spirit Burst Demon Crossbows to continuously cover blasts a hundred times, enough to destroy a small army.
“Why didn’t that old scoundrel Chief Guo embezzle a Sky-Breaking Dragon-Slaying Crossbow?” Ye Zhen expressed some regret.
