Tumor Sword Immortal

Chapter 204 Blood-Soaked Whale

Watching the wisps of blood slowly seep into the crimson bead.

Pei Xia tried to activate her spiritual power and successfully drew out a drop of bright red beast blood from the blood bead.

After the blood droplet leaves the worm, it absorbs relatively little blood energy, and can only continue after one drop.

But this drop of blood was exceptionally pure, and Pei Xia could clearly sense the immense bloodline power contained within it, belonging to the Sea Patrol God.

Pear stood next to Pei Xia and they exchanged a glance. Both of them realized that they had entered a treasure mountain... no, a treasure sea!

If a single drop of blood can seep out in a mere moment from the blood vapor floating in the air, then what if it were placed in a river of blood...?

Pei Xia used her spiritual power to carefully soak the blood bead in the bright red river beneath the boat, and its absorption and purification speed was indeed much faster.

Before long, the entire bead was filled with blood and became completely saturated.

“The blood of the Sea God, the Void Return Realm…” Pear took the blood bead from Pei Xia’s hand, her eyes practically lighting up.

For a cultivator at the sixth realm, there are many materials to choose from when drawing talismans and setting up arrays. Among them, the blood of demon beasts is relatively primitive and easy to obtain, but its composition is relatively mixed, so it is not considered the best choice.

But the blood of the Sea Patrol God, especially the purified blood bead, can be considered the top-grade material, right?
"Unfortunately, it's still a bit too little." Lu Li, still not satisfied, sighed regretfully.

The blood bead was only the size of a thumb, and the blood of the sea-patrolling god within it was probably only enough to draw a few talismans, certainly not enough to set up an array.

Otherwise, try diluting it later...

As Li Zi pondered the blood droplets, Pei Xia chuckled and exclaimed, "Quite a lot, quite a lot!"

The girl looked up and saw several slender black shadows swimming towards their small boat in the bright red blood river.

Previously, Pei Xia was somewhat wary because she didn't know his origins.

But at this moment, he was afraid that not enough people had come.

These worm-like monsters are not strong and should not produce any earth-shattering treasures. However, it is precisely because of their living environment and the existence of the sea patrol god's blood that they complement each other and become natural treasures!
Oh my, the little thing is so cute!

He raised his spiritual energy, and sword energy flowed freely.

Following the directions indicated by the talisman, Pei Xia headed towards the hollow beneath the mountain, slaying demonic beasts along the way and collecting blood beads.

If he weren't worried that there might be some large creature lurking in this river of blood, he would have even deliberately released his spiritual power to attract more of it.

By the time the small boat slowly approached the location of the talisman, Pei Xia already had eleven blood beads in her hand.

These blood beads are all of the same size, and after being intentionally soaked by Pei Xia, they have all been filled with the pure blood of the Sea Patrol God.

Holding it in his hands, even Pei Xia, who is usually unmoved by treasures, felt a little envious.

He let out a long breath, suppressed his burning desire, and stuffed all the blood beads into the emerald jade. Because there wasn't enough space, he even dispersed the few calculation cores that had condensed earlier.

Tsk, at this point, he couldn't help but think again, this jade pendant is truly a treasure. Although his two pieces concealed his aura, Han Youzhi's four pieces didn't. When will it be able to attract a few more people like Qiu Sheng...?

"Pei Xia, take over." Lu Li called out from behind him.

As the small boat drew closer to the talisman on Cao Heng's body, Pei Xia also gradually approached the underground cavity mentioned by Sai Jiu.

My good brother was right; at the end of the underground blood river, there is indeed a huge void at the top.

Unlike the cave Pei Xia used to slide into the Blood River, this one didn't have tough white walls. Instead, the bottom was clearly pink flesh and blood. Through the light of the Blood River, one could vaguely see dense, crisscrossing stone pillars within the hollow. This was Brain Mountain, and if I'm not mistaken, the summit was the brain of the Sea Patrol God.

However, looking up at the empty space above, Pei Xia couldn't help but fall into another problem—how to get up there?

I'm not at the Dao Proving Realm, so I can't fly through the air. If you have any leverage points that I can use to jump, I might give it a try.

Pei Xia looked down at the pear: "Can I throw you up there and then you shoot me?"

Pear shook her head in fright: "What are you talking about? This is at least thirty feet tall! Moreover, the blood river's spiritual energy is dense and mixed. I reckon it can't pull you up."

In the past, during the Five Virtues and Eight Phases era, although they did not have the ability to fly, their strong physiques were enough to traverse mountains and valleys in reality, so they never cared about flying.

After being infected with the Calamity Pig, his cultivation level dissipated, and he didn't think he would need to consider this matter in the future.

If I had known that leaving Weishan would lead to these series of misfortunes, I should have made more preparations. With my master's wife's abilities, it wouldn't have been difficult for her to forge a flying magic weapon for me.

Pei Xia thought to herself that once she left the belly of the Sea Patrol God and arrived in Maizhou, she should make more preparations and improve her strength. After all, when she went to Liancheng Fire Vein to face Ru Tao, the danger would probably be even greater than that of the Sea Patrol God.

But what should we do now that we're facing this hurdle?

Pear grumbled behind him, scolding Sai Jiu for not speaking clearly—but it was more likely that Sai Jiu only knew about this place, and had never actually seen the actual Naoshan Hollow.

Just as Pei Xia was deep in thought, ripples of light suddenly appeared in the Blood River.

The blood surface first swelled up, then quickly dispersed, and the dense spiritual energy began to quietly gather towards something deep inside.

Just as Pei Xia was on high alert, a huge black shadow slowly rose from the bottom of the Blood River!
The shadow was huge, with a width of over ten zhang. Pei Xia initially thought it was because he had killed those worm-like monsters before, which attracted some kind of beast master or something.

But as the thing rose higher, its shadow became clearer and clearer, and Pei Xia slowly began to feel a sense of familiarity.

It looks like something I've seen in the outside world.

"Hold on tight!" he whispered to remind Lu Li, trying to get her to grip the plank tightly.

Without saying a word, Pear hugged his waist along his legs.

As the colossal creature beneath the River of Blood emerged from the water, the small boat was also placed on its back. Its streamlined shape and magnificent posture proved its identity.

A whale!
Pei Xia couldn't help but cover her forehead amidst the violent shaking.

This is so counterintuitive, what does Blood Whale say?!

Is this an exceptionally large whale that has grown under the nourishment of spiritual blood, or a terrifying demonic beast that has already completed the infusion?
Before Pei Xia could observe carefully, a disturbing tremor suddenly came from beneath the small boat.

Then, a thick column of blood suddenly gushed out from the whale's blowhole!

The violent power generated in that instant brought Pei Xia to her senses; this was definitely a powerful demonic beast!

But from another perspective, this unexpected event actually helped Pei Xia solve her immediate problem.

The thick pillar of blood lifted the shattered boat and, protected by Pei Xia's protective aura, propelled it straight into the hollow. Seizing the opportunity when the hollow stone pillar was right in front of them, Pei Xia and Lu Li leaped out and clung tightly to the solid stone pillar.

It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early!
Pei Xia looked down at the giant creature in the river of blood.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he had a feeling that the giant whale was looking at him too.
