Chapter 17: New Understanding
The courtyard was a mess, and there was a smell of blood. This tragic battle was like a slap in the face, completely waking up Ao Zhan.
The battle in the Netherworld Continent is not as simple as that of the Ao Xia Continent, and its forms are varied and the means are numerous. Artifacts, elixirs, armor, talismans, etc., are all external factors that enhance combat effectiveness, and once these things are used properly, they will have terrible effects.
Hu Xiong was not in the early stage of the Void Underworld, and after using the Ghost Blood Burn, his skill regressed to the late stage of the Void Immortal, but he swallowed the pill, which caused his strength to increase greatly in a short period of time.
In particular, the Hidden Void Pill he ate actually restrained all his breath, and he approached Ao Zhan silently, almost cutting him in half. After failing to hit a blow, he spilled out a large piece of talismans, among which the red talisman exploded with such a strong impact that it directly fractured Ao Zhan's chest. Among them, there are also two kinds of talismans, one that paralyzes the nerves after exploding, and the other that inhibits the operation of spiritual power after exploding, which is very weird.
"Netherworld Continent, not comparable to Ao Xia Continent, just one Hu Xiong, almost made me die. Ao Zhan sighed.
"You divide three drops of essence blood to keep them from dying. Sighing, Ao Zhan hurriedly ordered the little centipede to prevent Ao Hu and the three of them from being seriously injured to death.
"Give it to them?" the little centipede was a little reluctant. It burst out of Hu Xiong's body and lay on the floor, and it could be seen that Hu Xiong was only a pair of bones and skin at the moment.
"There's something important after that, they're important and they need to recover quickly. Ao Zhan explained.
The little centipede did as it was told, squeezing out three jewel-like blood beads from its tentacles, which were so strong in vitality and majestic in energy that even Ao Zhan was moved.
Three drops of blood fell on the eyebrows of the three people, and in an instant, the spirit of the three people who were originally dying suddenly rose, and both internal and external injuries were slowly healing.
"Give them some time, and then they can cultivate and recover on their own. I'll take a look at Hu Xiong's bracelet first, hey, although this time is miserable, it can be said to be a lot of gain!" Ao Zhan smiled and whispered.
Not to mention anything else, at least the Buddha Slaughter Nine Ring Knife has been successfully obtained!
In order to be able to refine the Buddha Slaughter Nine-Ring Knife, he wanted to get rid of Hu Xiong, but Hu Xiong had been hiding in the Hu family, and he had no chance, who would have thought that he would send it to the door today.
In addition, the pills and talismans that Hu Xiong devoured were also deeply attracted to Ao Zhan. He was defeated in two faces, and he didn't even have time to use the blood refining technique, a large part of the reason was because of those weird talismans and pills.
He picked up the storage bracelet on the ground, dripping his finger blood, and easily refined the blood, successfully establishing the blood contract. After some investigation, Ao Zhan looked happy.
"Hey, I didn't expect Hu Xiong's storage bracelet to be a good thing, the internal space is almost ten times wider than mine! Hmm, there are a lot of pills, talismans, and spars, but it's a pity, there are no annotations and I don't know the use of the effect, go back and let the Treasure Pavilion tell me to distinguish it." Ao Zhan bowed his head and muttered to himself.
Immediately, he picked up Hu Xiong's war knife again. This war knife is pitch black all over, and although the blade is wide, it is not as exaggerated as the Buddha Slaughter Nine Ring Knife.
After also establishing the Blood Contract, Ao Zhan nodded and said, "Xuan-rank primary artifact, ethereal knife!"
After clicking on it, Hu Xiong's bracelet contained a lot of elixirs, talismans, and crystals, but there were not a few nether stones. He guessed that it might be because Hu Xiong was eager for revenge, so he only brought some Nether Stones to restore his spiritual power, and focused on the pills and talismans that enhanced his cultivation and attack power.
After doing all this, he sat down and took out a large number of top-grade Nether Stones to recover. Now that he has learned the trick of absorbing the energy of the Netherstone from Ao Jue and the others, he no longer has the luxury of pinching and exploding to absorb it.
Pure and majestic energy continues to pour into the body, impacting the blocked meridians, nourishing the internal organs, and relieving injuries.
Time passed quietly, and it was already early the next morning. Looking at it, Ao Hu and Ao Jue are no longer in serious trouble, and can meditate and recover independently, but Ao Xi has been unconscious.
"The breath of life is no longer disordered, and there is no fear of life, but why are you unconscious?" Ao Zhan came to Ao Xi's side and made a brief investigation.
"Master, how is Ao Xi, why haven't you woken up yet?" asked Ao Hu with a frown, his tiger eyes full of anxiety.
"I don't know. Ao Zhan shook his head.
Just when the three of them were in a hurry, footsteps suddenly sounded in the house.
"Someone!" Ao Jue was startled, immediately arched his body, and put on a posture of poised to endure the pain.
In the next moment, a woman led two blue-robed men to appear in everyone's field of vision.
"Jing'er?" Ao Zhan breathed a sigh of relief.
"My lord, who are you?" The person who came was the female guide of the Treasure Pavilion, Shopping Jing'er, and at this moment she was staring at the four of Ao Zhan with a surprised expression.
"Why are you here?" asked Ao Zhan.
Jing'er eased her mind and responded, "The time agreed between the lord and my pavilion master yesterday has passed, and the pavilion master is worried that there will be changes, so he specially ordered me to bring the elders in the pavilion to invite." These two are also the main persons in charge of this mining of the Netherstone Vein, Elder Lei Tong and Elder Lei Dian!"
When Ao Zhan heard this, he couldn't help but glance at the two of them. These two have dark skin, majestic figures, long hair black and bright like silk, tiger eyes as bright as stars, and their faces are eighty percent similar, they should be twin brothers.
"My lord, what the hell is going on?" Jing'er asked.
"Hu Xiong of the Hu family sneaked in last night to kill me, and was killed by us after a hard fight. Ao Zhan's words were concise and clear.
"Is it just Hu Xiong alone, how is this possible?!" Jing'er couldn't believe it, but the corpse on the ground was indeed the only one.
"You might be able to identify these pills?" Ao Zhan didn't explain any more, just turned over and took out a bunch of pills, which were dazzling.
"Hey, this is the Hidden Void Pill!Hmm? This is the Blood Condensation Pill!This is the Apocalypse Strength Pill!The Chonggong Demon Pill!The Nine Lives Dao Pill!" Before Jing'er could speak, Lei Tong and Lei Dianben exclaimed first, their eyes flashing with a scorching light.
"Two, is there any elixir among them that can make her wake up?" Ao Zhan asked.
"She?" the two elders stared at the diamond-shaped mark on Ao Xi's forehead with some surprise, they didn't understand why Ao Zhan would care about the life of a war slave, after all, this life might not be as valuable as a pill.
"It's time to drive the two elders!" Jing'er said to the side.
Lei Tong and Lei Dian glanced at each other, and then Lei Tong said, "If you want to cure his illness, you need to know the reason." I just watched her unconscious, but I don't know why she was unconscious?"
"She's been kicked in the head!" Ao Hu said in a low voice.
"Kicked in the head?" Lei Tong frowned, came to Ao Xi's side, poured a trace of spiritual power into her head, and examined it carefully.
"The back of the skull was shattered, and there was a lot of blood in the skull. I don't know what you gave her to keep her alive, but to revive her, she needs a precious elixir. Lei Dian sighed.
"Is there anything here?" asked Ao Zhan, holding a pile of bottles and cans.
"Yes, Nine Lives Dao Dan!" Lei Tong nodded, looking affirmative.
"Nine Lives Dao Dan ......" Lei Dian and Jing'er were both stunned.
"It's good to have it!" Ao Zhan looked at the only Emerald Green Pill and wanted to give it to Ao Xi without hesitation.
"My lord, you may not know the preciousness of the Nine Lives Dao Pill, this Nine Lives Dao Pill can be exchanged for two war slaves in the Netherworld, why ...... for her" Jing'er kindly reminded.
"Thank you for the reminder!" Ao Zhan's expression was cold, and he didn't hesitate to let Ao Xi swallow it at all.
The two brothers Lei Tong and Lei Dian were stunned, and Jing'er blushed in embarrassment. Ao Hu and Ao Jue's blood and qi surged, and their bodies trembled slightly. After knowing the value of the Nine Lives Dao Pill, Ao Zhan was able to give it without thinking, which was a manifestation of emotion and a gift of dignity.
As soon as the Nine Lives Dao Pill entered, the turquoise light instantly swirled around Ao Xi's body, and a vast vitality spread, and even tender grass grew in the cracks of the stone slabs under him.
It didn't take long for Ao Xi, who had been unconscious, to slowly open his eyes, revealing a blank gaze.
"It's worthy of the Nine Lives Dao Pill!" Lei Dian sincerely admired.
"Yes, but it's just a cup of tea, and it's no longer in the way!" Lei Tong also sighed.
"Are you okay?" Ao Hu took Ao Xi from Ao Zhan's hand and gently dragged her head, his face full of anxiety.
"I'm fine, I'm just tired. "Ao Xi is a little weak.
"You are seriously injured, thanks to the medicine given by the master, otherwise ......" Ao Hu said and shook his head.
"Thank you, master..."Ao Xi wanted to get up and thank you.
"You have a good rest. Ao Zhan stopped, turned his head and said to the three people in the Treasure Pavilion, "Three, me and my people are seriously injured, and I'm afraid today's trip will be postponed." ”
"That's not going to work, the Iron Family has already set off, and we have to go today. Since your people are seriously injured, stay in Black Iron City, you can rest assured, we can guarantee your safety. Lei Tong said resolutely.
Ao Zhan frowned when he heard this, he secretly speculated that without the help of Ao Hu and the three of them, his safety was actually not guaranteed, God knows if this Treasure Pavilion would attack him?
"My injuries can't be hurried quickly, and the black iron knife is also very powerful, your pavilion master said that it is almost to the fifth order, I am very worried that in that kind of sudden moment, you can't guarantee my safety. Ao Zhan thought about it and expressed his concerns.
"Then are you willing to carve out detailed geographical coordinates?" Lei Tong looked at him and said.
"That can't be. Ao Zhan shook his head resolutely.
"That's right, so your safety is an extremely important part of this trip, and my second brother and I will do our best to protect you. Besides, I can tell you that our Pavilion Master is very optimistic about you, do you understand?" Lei Tong smiled.
"Be optimistic about me?" Ao Zhan wondered, why did the mysterious pavilion master look at himself, and what was he optimistic about?
"Take a break, and then come with us. Lei Tong nodded and said.
