Chapter 74: Yuan Bo's Guess
Duan Yun was anxious at this time, and he spoke in his heart: "Master, if there is anything about your old man who can't wait for a while, I'm about to suffocate to death." β
He didn't feel anything in the body of the nine-headed human-faced monster just now, but when he saw the air in front of him, he felt that he couldn't bear it for a second anymore, so he didn't ask, he just swam to the water with his hands and feet, and took a few breaths of air greedily.
After being cool for a long time, he remembered what Yuan Bo had just said, so he hurriedly asked back with his soul power: "Master, what did you just find?"
"Didn't you find out?" Yuan Bo did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically: "The water in this pond is full of heaven and earth aura. Moreover, the aura of this heaven and earth is very warm and pure. β
"Full of heaven and earth aura?"
Duan Yun's spirit was suddenly stunned, because he was choked enough just now, but he only felt the temperature of the water in this pond, and the others didn't care too much, and under Yuan Bo's reminder, he also felt that there was indeed a trace of unusual hunger energy fluctuations in this water.
"Not bad. Without waiting for Duan Yun to speak, Yuan Bo explained: "Heaven and earth aura is a very wonderful energy, although it generally exists between heaven and earth, but only after the soul realm reaches the realm of psychic, can its existence be vaguely felt. β
"Although it can't be seen or touched, but each of us can't do without the nourishment of heaven and earth aura, if you live in a place where the heaven and earth aura is rich for a long time, ordinary people can prolong their lives, be physically strong, and plants can flourish and grow rapidly, and for cultivators and spirit beasts, heaven and earth aura will directly affect the results of their cultivation and the speed of growth. β
Hearing this, Duan Yun also suddenly realized in his heart: "No wonder this nine-headed human-faced monster can grow so big, it turns out that it is because he has lived in the place where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathers for a long time." β
"Under normal circumstances, the intensity of the aura of heaven and earth is the same. Yuan Bo continued: "Under the influence of the laws of heaven and earth, the rich aura of heaven and earth will naturally diffuse the aura of heaven and earth to the thin places of the surrounding aura of heaven and earth, and eventually reach a balanced level. Therefore, if there is a large number of heaven and earth spiritual qi gathered, then there are either rare genius earth treasures growing there, or there are extremely high-grade precious magic weapons. β
In the end, Yuan Bo firmly asserted: "The richness of the aura of heaven and earth in this pool of water is something I have never seen in my thousand-year lifespan, and I dare to assert that the treasure in this pool of water is absolutely precious to the extent of unimaginable, so even if you have to take a big risk, I suggest that you go back to that pond and look for it carefully." β
Hearing this, Duan Yun's heart was also excited, the baby that could make Yuan Bo, a picky old guy, so excited and excited, was definitely so powerful and precious that he couldn't even dream of it. It's so precious that it's worth the fight even at the risk of dying your life.
Although he still had to face the powerful nine-headed human-faced monster when he returned to the bottom of the water, he was not very afraid of this monster at this time, because he already had some experience in dealing with this monster.
He planned that once he was discovered by this monster, he would honestly let the other party swallow him in his stomach, and then carry out another intestinal adventure just now, although such an adventure was a bit dirty and disgusting, but it was no problem to save his life.
Thinking of this, Duan Yun plunged down and quickly dived to the bottom of the pool.
Things went very smoothly, the nine-headed human-faced monster had been sleeping all the time, although in the process of searching for the bottom of the pool, one of the heads had raised his eyelids to look at Duan Yun, but it may have not woken up yet, or felt that Duan Yun was too small to stuff his teeth, so he did not attack it, but continued to sleep with his head buried in it.
Under the guidance of Yuan Bo, he searched for the place where the aura of heaven and earth was strong, but unfortunately, this pond was too big, it was really not much smaller than the lake, fortunately, after Duan Yun knew the benefits of hibernation, he could hold his breath in the water for a long time without breathing, which made the search speed much faster.
After a painstaking search to no avail, Duan Yun stopped, scratching his head, with a puzzled expression on his face.
"Master, I've searched for several times, but I haven't found anything special. β
Yuan Bo was silent for a long time and did not speak, and only after a long time did he speak: "According to my estimate, there should only be two possibilities now. The first is that the treasure is buried deep underground, and if this is the case, it can be done with a lot of effort, but this situation is not very likely to work, and I am most worried about the second situation......"
Listening to Yuan Bo's tone becoming more and more heavy, Duan Yun was also secretly anxious, and he hurriedly asked, "Master, what is the second situation." β
"I think the second situation is the most likely, that is, that treasure is under the body of that nine-headed human-faced monster!" Yuan Bo said bluntly: "That monster should also know very well that the treasure is extremely beneficial to its growth, so it will definitely try to get as close to that treasure as possible, so as to better absorb the aura of heaven and earth." β
"What! under the monster's body?" Yuan Bo's speculation immediately made Duan Yun's heart sink, if it was really as Yuan Bo said, then if he wanted to take the treasure, he had to drive the nine-headed human-faced monster away, but that nine-headed human-faced monster was unimaginably powerful. Sensei said that if he drove it away, even if he hit it with all his might, he might not be able to shake the other party.
Seeing Duan Yun hang his head, Yuan Bo persuaded unhurriedly: "You don't have to be discouraged, this monster can't stay motionless here all the time, it at least has to hunt, there are no other creatures in this pond besides it, so if he wants to hunt, he must leave the pond, as long as it moves its nest, we will take the treasure away immediately." β
Then, Duan Yun nodded, acquiesced to Yuan Bo's suggestion, and then surfaced, preparing to find Xiaoxue first, and then wait for the opportunity to start while cultivating here.
He immediately went to the place where he was devoured by the nine-headed human-faced monster, and prepared to start looking for Xiaoxue from there, but as soon as he arrived at that place, he found that Xiaoxue had not left, and was still waiting for him in the same place.
As soon as Xiaoxue saw Duan Yun, she was stunned for a moment, and then jumped into Duan Yun's arms without hesitation, followed by a touching picture, although it was only a few hours apart, but the feeling for the two of them was like a world apart, making them hug each other tightly and cry, feeling each other's warmth and existence.
For the rest of the time, Duan Yun stayed near the pond, cultivating while waiting for the opportunity to capture the treasure. But after nearly a month of waiting, he was a little disappointed, and he found that the nine-headed human-faced monster seemed to be afraid that others would snatch its treasure, and it would not leave the pond at all.
Duan Yun was puzzled at first, he didn't understand why this monster didn't need to eat, but the strange discovery a few days later made him feel lightheaded for a while, because he saw with his own eyes that this super monster with a mouth full of sharp fangs actually ate the aquatic plants in the pond......
At first, Duan Yun couldn't even believe his eyes, whether it was a common-sense judgment of his appearance, or the record in the "Fairyland Monster Illustrated Book", this nine-headed human-faced monster was definitely a pure meat eater, and from the monster's painful expression when eating aquatic plants, and the difficult appearance every time he swallowed, it could be concluded that it was extremely dislike to eat aquatic plants.
No matter why this originally carnivorous nine-headed human-faced monster would eat aquatic plants, but under the nourishment of this pool full of heaven and earth spiritual energy, the aquatic plants in this pond grew extremely fast, even fast enough to support the huge appetite of the nine-headed human-faced monster, in short, it led to a result that Duan Yun didn't want to see the most, that is, the nine-headed human-faced monster didn't need to leave the pond at all, and all the eating, drinking, and Lazar were all carried out in the pond.
During this time, Duan Yun also tried a lot of methods, trying to lure the nine-headed human-faced monster away from the pond, such as deliberately making a loud noise, catching some fairyland monsters as food lure, etc., although the nine-headed human-faced monster also had a great reaction to Duan Yun's deliberate creation of these gimmicks to lure him, but its body, just like Mount Tai, did not leave the pond half a step at all, even in the face of those fresh food, its eyes were on fire, and it fell down cracklingly, it also tried to restrain its appetite, and still stayed in the pondγ
After many temptations, Duan Yun came to a conclusion, that is, this nine-headed human-faced monster is definitely intending to protect this pond, presumably it also knows that this pond has a very magical effect on its growth, even if it can only eat dry and unpalatable aquatic plants, even if it has to endure endless loneliness for this, it must stay here inch by inch, and take this magical pond as its own.
The plan to divert it from the pond has basically failed, and now Duan Yun still has two choices, the first is to give up, but according to Yuan Bo's speculation, the hidden treasures in this pond are definitely not trivial, and it would be a pity not to take them;
The second option is to re-enter the monster's body and attack the monster as it passes through its relatively fragile intestines, killing the monster.
However, Yuan Bo advised him that it was best not to use this method as a last resort and out of desperation, because this method was too dangerous.
First of all, Duan Yun was too weak compared to this nine-headed human-faced monster, and the opponent could instantly kill it with a random attack, so if the other party's first choice was not to swallow it, but to use other means of attack, in that case, the plan would not be implemented, and even his life might not be saved;
Secondly, even if the monster was going to swallow Duan Yun, there was no guarantee that the monster wouldn't chew it after reaching its mouth, in that case, Duan Yun would still be a dead end;
In the end, even if he successfully entered the body of the nine-headed human-faced monster, he was sure to kill it, but he couldn't guarantee that he would last long enough to ensure that he could successfully escape after killing the monster, and he didn't know if the two exits of the nine-headed human-faced monster would be completely closed after its death, if that was the case, Duan Yun would still have to trap the monster in its belly.
Although the hope of waiting for the nine-headed human-faced monster to leave was very slim, Duan Yun still waited for a few more days, and after seeing that it was still fruitless, he finally decided that he still had to enter the body of the nine-headed human-faced monster to make a last stand, a treasure that could make Yuan Bo, a thousand-year-old monster tremble, even if it was worth taking some risks.
