Immortal God of War
Chapter 1588: Chapter 1520: The Divine Beast’s Territory
Let’s talk about Qin Feiyang.
Outside, twelve days passed, inside the ancient castle, it’s already been a hundred and twenty days.
Exactly one-third of a year.
But for the sixth stroke of the Counter Curse Manual, he managed to only draft one-tenth of it.
Compared to the previous five strokes, the sixth one consumed significantly more Battle Intent and took much longer.
He estimated that to draft the last stroke, it would take at least three more years.
Fortunately, with the ancient castle, three more years are not a big deal.
Without the ancient castle, it would be a long process.
Because three years is enough time to accomplish many things.
"Elder Qin, come out quickly!"
Suddenly!
The Crocodile Emperor’s voice sounded outside.
Qin Feiyang paused, withdrew his arm, closed the Six-Character Mantra, and appeared on the Crocodile Emperor’s back.
What lay before him was a dense forest!
Endless.
Deep within the forest, towering peaks soared into the sky, everywhere was lush and vibrant.
Qin Feiyang immediately became excited.
To encounter another water source location!
The Crocodile Emperor scanned the mountains with eyes wide, chuckling, "Boss, can we discuss something?"
"What is it?"
Qin Feiyang asked suspiciously.
"Generally, water source locations contain Divine Artifacts or Divine Arts."
"If we find one later, can you give it to me?"
"After all, you have so many Divine Arts and Divine Artifacts, a couple more won’t matter, right!"
The Crocodile Emperor said.
"You cheeky fellow."
Qin Feiyang shook his head and smiled, "If there really is something suitable for you, I don’t mind giving it to you."
The Crocodile Emperor had given him armor, returning a Divine Artifact to him wasn’t unreasonable.
"Thank you, Boss."
The Crocodile Emperor was overjoyed.
Qin Feiyang jumped down, landing in front of the Crocodile Emperor, cautiously watching the forest, "Are you familiar with this place?"
"I’ve never been here before."
The Crocodile Emperor shook its head.
Qin Feiyang said gravely, "Be careful, there might be a powerful Beast Emperor in command here."
The Crocodile Emperor nodded, quickly shrank its body, and jumped onto Qin Feiyang’s shoulder.
Qin Feiyang took a deep breath, took a step forward, entered the forest, gently advancing forward.
Inside the forest, silence prevailed.
No traces of fierce beasts on the ground.
It felt like an ancient wilderness.
Suddenly.
The Crocodile Emperor observed the surroundings, suspiciously said, "Boss, do you feel something amiss?"
"Amiss?"
Qin Feiyang paused, stopped, looked around, "To be honest, I do feel something’s not right, but I can’t pinpoint what’s wrong."
"I feel the same."
The Crocodile Emperor nodded.
Qin Feiyang raised an eyebrow.
If it was only he who felt it, he might chalk it up to illusion, but even the Crocodile Emperor felt the same.
Clearly, there was something wrong with this forest.
After cautiously walking further, not even a mosquito was encountered, let alone large beasts.
The silence around felt somewhat eerie.
"So hot."
Qin Feiyang wiped his sweat.
As he wiped his sweat, both Qin Feiyang and the Crocodile Emperor stopped suddenly.
In such a cool water source location, why sweat?
Wait!
The Crocodile Emperor shook, hurriedly said, "Boss, retreat quickly!"
Without hesitation, Qin Feiyang turned and rushed out of the forest.
Soon.
Both returned to the original spot, glanced at the forest, then simultaneously looked up, seeing ten suns in the sky.
They finally realized what’s wrong!
Inside the forest, the temperature was no different from outside.
Meaning, it’s just as hot!
"Isn’t this a water source location? Why is it still so hot? Could it be an illusion?"
The Crocodile Emperor withdrew its gaze, suspiciously looking at the forest.
"Illusion?"
Qin Feiyang furrowed his brows.
He waved his hand, a strip of Battle Intent swept out, hitting a large tree, piercing through the trunk with wood chips scattering.
"Seems like it’s not an illusion."
Qin Feiyang murmured.
"Then something’s really wrong here!"
"In such hot weather, how can these plants survive, and grow so lush?"
The Crocodile Emperor said.
Qin Feiyang nodded.
Under the scorching of ten suns, even he could barely endure, let alone plants growing here year-round.
There’s definitely something fishy here!
Suddenly!
A strong sense of crisis surged in.
Qin Feiyang’s mind and body tightened.
Yet, he couldn’t find the source of the crisis.
What’s happening?
Just as he felt agitated, suddenly his abdomen ached, and purple-gold Dragon Blood spurted out.
"Huh?"
The Crocodile Emperor looked down surprised, saw Qin Feiyang’s abdomen had a thumb-sized bloody hole, transparent from front to back.
It immediately checked behind Qin Feiyang but saw nothing.
"Boss, what was it?"
It asked, puzzled.
"I didn’t see anything either."
"Just felt a very soft thing passing through my abdomen."
Qin Feiyang shook his head.
With his abdomen pierced, his Qi Sea was naturally destroyed, losing his cultivation.
He quickly took out a Spiritual Sea Pill, threw it into his mouth, then cautiously watched the forest ahead.
The Crocodile Emperor scanned behind, eyes flashing with sharpness.
As time gradually passed, that previous sense of crisis never appeared again.
However, Qin Feiyang’s lips showed signs of turning black.
Moreover, the wound on his abdomen also throbbed with a burning pain.
The Crocodile Emperor said, "This seems to be a sign of poisoning?"
"It’s poisoning."
Qin Feiyang nodded, took out a Detoxification Pill, and popped it into his mouth.
"What on earth is this thing?"
The Crocodile Emperor frowned as if he remembered something, and said, "Boss, I suddenly thought there are two fellows who might know what this place is."
"Who?"
Qin Feiyang asked.
"Gold Wolf and Silver Wolf."
"These two guys often go to other places to loot treasures."
"And this place is only a little over ten days’ journey from White Bone Canyon. I think they might have been here before."
The Crocodile Emperor explained.
Qin Feiyang contemplated briefly, then with a thought, Gold Wolf instantly appeared beside him.
The Crocodile Emperor said, "Wolf cub, look around here, have you been here before?"
Gold Wolf raised its head and gazed around the jungle.
Immediately!
It changed color drastically.
"What happened?"
Qin Feiyang and the Crocodile Emperor were both surprised and puzzled.
They knew Gold Wolf’s temperament, fearless of heaven and earth, yet now it was showing such an expression?
Could it be, they had inadvertently trespassed into a forbidden zone?
Gold Wolf swallowed, and said solemnly, "Listen to me, leave here at once!"
Qin Feiyang and the Crocodile Emperor looked at each other, even more shocked.
Because in Gold Wolf’s eyes, they saw fear!
"What is this place, after all?"
The Crocodile Emperor asked.
Gold Wolf said, "This is the territory of the Ghost Snakes."
"Ghost Snakes?"
Qin Feiyang was taken aback.
"Correct."
Gold Wolf nodded.
Qin Feiyang was stunned and said, "So, the one who ambushed me earlier was the Ghost Snake?"
Gold Wolf glanced at the wound on Qin Feiyang’s abdomen and nodded, "It’s definitely them, without a doubt. Once these guys hide, we simply can’t see them."
"So they were the guys."
"No wonder there isn’t even a fly in this jungle."
The Crocodile Emperor suddenly realized.
Then.
It scanned the jungle, eyes full of disdain, and said, "The talent ability of the Ghost Snakes is merely changing the color of their skin. As for strength, they don’t count for much. As long as precautions are taken, there’s no need to fear them."
"Wrong!"
Gold Wolf said.
"Where am I wrong?"
The Crocodile Emperor doubted.
"Not only wrong but extremely wrong."
"Do you know how my brother and I escaped when we entered here before?"
Gold Wolf said.
"Tell me."
The Crocodile Emperor said, somewhat dismissively.
"We begged bitterly."
"My brother and I begged for two days and nights, and only then did the ruler here let us leave."
Gold Wolf said.
"Is it very strong?"
The Crocodile Emperor asked in surprise.
"Extremely strong!"
"Even if all of us, all the fierce beasts combined, are no match for it."
"Because it is a Pseudo God!"
Gold Wolf stated each word with utmost gravity.
"What?"
"Pseudo God!"
At this point, not only the Crocodile Emperor, but even Qin Feiyang was unable to remain calm.
It turned out to be a Pseudo God!
This is simply terrifying!
"It stepped into the realm of the Pseudo God five years ago, the strength is extremely dreadful, and it also possesses a Divine Artifact, even mastering a Divine Art."
Gold Wolf said solemnly.
"Divine Artifact, Divine Art!"
Qin Feiyang’s eyes trembled, decisively retreating far with the Crocodile Emperor.
Gold Wolf also caught up, looking at the Crocodile Emperor sarcastically, said: "Now do you still dare say there’s no need to fear them?"
The Crocodile Emperor gave an embarrassed smile, looking at Qin Feiyang, said: "Boss, a strong dragon cannot overpower a local tyrant, I think we should find another route!"
Qin Feiyang glanced into the depths of the jungle, eyes flickering.
Gold Wolf raised its brows, looked at Qin Feiyang, said: "My suggestion is to bypass, but the decision is yours."
Actually.
Deep inside at this moment, it was extremely anxious.
Afraid that Qin Feiyang would make a decision to enter this dreadful area.
The Crocodile Emperor also watched Qin Feiyang closely, full of apprehension.
If the ruler here only had the Nine-Star War Emperor peak cultivation, then it would be possible to venture forth, but facing a Pseudo God, with their combined strength, it would simply be sheep entering a tiger’s mouth, courting death.
After a long time.
Qin Feiyang finally withdrew his gaze, turned to Gold Wolf, and asked: "Is the ruler you mentioned also a Ghost Snake?"
"Yes."
Gold Wolf nodded.
Qin Feiyang said: "What do you think, if I send Ghost Snake Emperor to negotiate with that ruler, will it let us pass through here?"
The Crocodile Emperor and Gold Wolf hurriedly shook their heads, anxious with worry.
"Boss, don’t act impulsively!"
"Although Ghost Snake Emperor is their kin, it’s also like you, from the outside world."
"It’s like in the human world. Even if one was originally family, suddenly an outsider gets involved, integration would prove impossible."
The Crocodile Emperor hurriedly explained.
"The key point is that Ghost Snake Emperor’s cultivation isn’t strong, the ruler here wouldn’t even give it the time of day."
Gold Wolf agreed.
"That makes sense."
Qin Feiyang nodded, meditated briefly, then transmitted his thoughts: "I’ll confirm the Ghost Empress’s position first."
With that, Qin Feiyang closed his eyes and began to carefully sense.
