Chapter 148: Poisonous Beast
"Maybe, that was just an illusion that appears while using the First Style of the Sea Dragon Descends. The first style of this spear skill is already a Low-Grade Immortal Rank skill. Anyway, I don't know anything about this rank's skill." Ye Xiao thought in his heart and calmed down.
"Now the first thing I have to do is to make a breakthrough in my cultivation and become a Martial King Realm martial artist." Ye Xiao thought in his heart and took his leave from the world of Heavenly Pearl, appearing in the room of the inn once again.
Without wasting any time, he once again arrived in front of the Alchemist Association and entered.
"Master!" Not long after that, Ye Xiao was standing before his master.
"Master, I am planning to go out once again. There is still one month before we will leave for the Grand Xia Empire so I'll just go out and look for the opportunities to make a breakthrough in my cultivation! I can feel that my breakthrough is near."
Ye Xiao had already decided to go and hunt down magical beasts, devour them, and breakthrough to the Martial King Realm.
When Grandmaster Wang heard this, he turned his head and extended his right hand toward Ye Xiao. On his hand, there was a pill bottle.
Ye Xiao took the pill bottle from his master, opened it, and saw that there was only one pill inside it, but when he saw that pill, his expression immediately changed.
He excitedly said, "Master, thank you!"
"There is no need to thank me. As your master, I have to at least give you this much help." Grandmaster Wang waved his hand said.
"Hmm! Master, then I am leaving."
"Go!"
After taking the pill from his master, Ye Xiao immediately ran toward the Cloudsmoke Forest once again.
The pill that his master Gave him was known as Spirit Advancement Pill which can play a big role if he wants to breakthrough to the Martial King Realm.
Ye Xiao once again entered the Cloudsmoke Forest. He didn't stop and continue to run deeper into the forest while ignoring every magical beast that he saw on his way there.
If he wanted to breakthrough to the Martial King Realm, he has to devour at least a Fifth Garde Magical Beast. Magical Beasts weaker than the Fifth Grade Magical Beasts were no help to him now. But he still hunted down two or three Fourth Grade Magical Beast and stored it in the Heavenly Pearl for Little Yellow.
"Zi! Zi!"
After almost one week of searching, when Ye Xiao was resting under the tree, he suddenly heard a very strange sound.
Ye Xiao estimated the general direction and started walking toward the source of that strange sound. When he arrived at the place from where he heard that strange sound, he saw that there was a cave that was going underground. If Ye Xiao has not heard the strange sound, he would not have been able to find this cave as it was hidden within the bushes.
When he entered the cave, he realized that his thoughts were still quite simple. The light inside was very weak. Of course, to the martial cultivation, the problem with this light was not that big of a problem. Once one reached the Qi Condensation Realm, their senses automatically become much sharper than before, they would be able to see clearly even if the light is slightly weak.
Yes, it was another matter if there is dark!
Well, the weak light was not that important, the truly scariest part was the dangerous environment.
"Zi! Zi!"
Suddenly Ye Xiao once again heard that strange sound. Compared to the one he had heard outside earlier, this time, this sound was several times more strange and frightening to listen to.
With this, it could be said that every step he took here, was filled with danger.
"Zi! Zi! Zi!"
Ye Xiao once again heard that strange sound but this time, he was terrified because he heard this sound from exactly behind his back.
"Wings of the Divine Dragon!"
Without thinking about it anymore, he immediately used the ability of the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon as a beautiful pair of wings grew out from his back. He flapped his wings and immediately flew forward at a very fast speed. This cave was small and narrow so he was unable to fly in the air.
"Swish! Swish!"
The moment he dodged, he saw two streams of blue light flashed where he was standing before. When he looked at the blue thing on the ground, he saw that it was poison.
He raised his head and saw a two-meter big poisonous insect, with a black carapace around its body. It also had a pair of wings on its back.
"A Fifth Grade Magical Beast which is about to advance to the Sixth Grade!" Ye Xiao looked at that magical beast and surprised to see that it was actually a Fifth Grade Magical Beast which is about to advance to the Sixth Grade.
That magical beast flapped its wings behind its back and fiercely charged towards Ye Xiao's. Its speed was so fast that only after when Ye Xiao was able to feel its bone-piercing sharpness did he react.
"Such fast speed, this guy…"
With another flap of his wings, Ye Xiao again immediately distanced himself from this strange magical beast. This was a strange poisonous beast. The carapace on its surface looked especially hard. Ye Xiao started to think of ways to kill this magical beast and devour it.
"Dragon's Claws!"
When he was unable to think of a way, he decided to fight with this strange beast head-on.
The enemy's head had a triangular shape. If this posture was used in the air, the speed, impact, and piercing force would achieve an extreme effect. It was fortunate that he was fighting with this beast inside this small and narrow cave otherwise, he was sure that with its speed if he were to fight it outside, there was no chance that he could stand against this strange poisonous beast.
"Ziii!"
Just when Ye Xiao transformed his hands into Dragon's Claws, a deafening sound rang out. He looked at the poisonous beast and saw it suddenly bursting forth with an incredible speed.
"Shua!"
"Swish!"
Ye Xiao's mind went into a frenzy. He could not dodge at this moment so he chopped down his claws toward it ferociously.
"Clang!"
Like a great bell ringing, for a time, the collision between the two instantly produced a terrifying sound wave. Ye Xiao was surprised to discover that his attack only managed to injure it a little while he himself was sent flying.
He vomited out a mouthful of blood, looked at the strange poisonous beast, and muttered, "This beast... What a tough defense!"
Ye Xiao was extremely shocked in his heart. Although he was in a sorry state because, and he did not manage to defend in time, but he did attack the strange poisonous beast with almost 80% of his strength but still, he was only able to injure it slightly.
Ye Xiao also quickly discovered that blood that was gushing out from the beast's body was actually green in colour. It means that this beast's blood was also poisonous.
As this beast opened its mouth to leak at its wound, a pair of venomous teeth appeared from time to time in its mouth. With a cold flash, drops of venomous liquid dripped from the teeth, corroding the surrounding plants and turning them into venomous water.
"This beast is extremely poisonous, and its speed is also incredibly fast. Not only that, but its defensive power is also terrifying. Moreover, my attack with 80% of my strength was only able to injure it slightly!" Thinking about the characteristics of this poisonous snake, Ye Xiao's face turned gloomily as he became extremely serious at this time.
He took out the sword from his spatial ring. He did not take out the Sea Dragon Spear because he was simply unable to use it with his current strength. He also guessed that if he wants to use the Sea Dragon Spear, he has to first make his breakthrough and become a Martial King Realm martial artist.
"Zi! Zi!"
The moment Ye Xiao took out the sword, the poisonous beast shot out once again. This time, its speed was even more shocking, bringing with it a fierce green 'poison arrow' that burst out from its mouth.
Ye Xiao flapped his dragon wings and flew backward, dodging the poison attack of the poisonous beast. Then he once again flapped his wings and flew forward. Because of his and the poisonous beast's speed, both of them appeared in front of each other almost in an instant.
Ye Xiao slashed down his sword on the poisonous beast's head with his full strength.
"Clang!"
The sound of a metal collision rang out in his surrounding.
