Chapter 411 The Thunderworm Beast Leaps Over the Dragon Gate [Please Subscribe]

Boom!

A thunderclap boomed in the sky, and a silvery-white bolt of lightning flashed in the air.

A sudden thunderstorm struck a certain area of ​​the Black Mist Marsh.

However, due to the obstruction of the black mist, even though people and monsters in the distance heard the booming thunder and occasionally saw flashes of silver-white lightning, they could not see what was going on there at all.

Moreover, it was just a thunderstorm. Even ordinary people experience this kind of weather many times in their lives, so how could it attract anyone's attention?

Those who hold this view are destined to miss a once-in-a-lifetime spectacle.

Amidst the dark clouds and lightning, a giant, one-horned python covered in silvery-white scales, like a trapped dragon ascending to heaven, slowly flew towards the dark clouds overhead, facing the falling lightning.

It wasn't flying very fast, as if there was a huge resistance above it.

At the same time, the lightning in the dark clouds seemed to come alive, feeling challenged, and decided to punish the audacious one who dared to defy the majesty of heaven.

Then, bolts of lightning continuously flew down from the dark clouds, striking the silver-white, one-horned giant python that had soared into the sky.

Each strike of lightning would blast the silver-white, one-horned python, tearing its skin and sending its scales flying, slamming its rising body down dozens of feet.

Even so, despite being struck by lightning and its body emitting blue smoke, the silver-white, one-horned python remained completely unconcerned, continuing to climb upwards with a fierce hiss.

"This is... could it be the legendary 'fish leaping over the dragon gate'?"

On the small island, Zhou Chun looked at the white silver-horned lightning python soaring into the sky, a look of shock flashing in his eyes.

He had only seen the extraordinary phenomenon of "fish leaping over the dragon gate" in certain ancient books.

It is said that only certain dragon-born monsters with great potential, when they transform into dragons, will cause this strange phenomenon.

As long as one can leap over the Dragon Gate and soar into the dark clouds, one will surely be able to transform into a dragon, and will definitely become a dragon with a very pure bloodline.

It should be noted that even dragons have varying degrees of aptitude.

The purer the bloodline of a dragon, the higher its potential will be in the future.

Tier 3 monsters are the minimum level for the dragon race; even the worst dragon will become a Tier 3 dragon after reaching adulthood.

Fourth-tier demonic beasts represent the ultimate achievement limit for most pure-blooded dragons. Their bloodline potential is almost exhausted at this level, and advancing to the fifth tier requires immense good fortune.

However, compared to those demonic beasts that are limited by their bloodline, the dragons have extremely high bloodline origins. When they advance from the fourth to the fifth rank, there are no bloodline limitations. It's just that they cannot push their bloodline potential to the limit.

However, in reality, if a fourth-order dragon can swallow the inner core of a fifth-order dragon and not be overwhelmed by the power of the inner core, then it will definitely become a fifth-order dragon.

This is a major reason why the dragon race is stronger than other demon beast races.

Zhou Daoyi's Azure Dragon evolved from consuming the inner core of a third-tier Azure Dragon, so its aptitude was relatively low, unlike pure-blooded Azure Dragons whose parents were both dragons.

In the future, there is a good chance of advancing to the fourth rank, but basically, once a monster advances to the fourth rank, its potential will be exhausted.

Furthermore, for a dragon, the lower its aptitude, the worse its supernatural abilities.

The higher the aptitude of a dragon, the easier it is for it to awaken certain powerful bloodline abilities.

It is said that the bloodline of the Jiaolong (蛟龙) originates from a true dragon.

True dragons are beings on par with immortals!

Theoretically speaking, a jiaolong can eventually evolve into a true dragon!

Originally, Zhou Chun was already quite fortunate to be able to transform into a dragon after taking the "Dragon Transformation Pill" for nothing, and he did not dare to have any higher expectations.

Even with the worst aptitude, it's still a dragon bloodline, a level higher than that of ordinary high-level demonic beasts. If it wants to continue purifying its bloodline in the future, it will have a clear path to follow.

However, to Zhou Chun's surprise, Bai Bai had such great potential and opportunities that he encountered the "Fish Leaping Over the Dragon Gate" phenomenon.

As long as you can leap over the "Dragon Gate" and successfully transform into a dragon, you'll be guaranteed at least a mid-level aptitude, and advancing to the fourth rank in the future will be a certainty.

Moreover, the supernatural abilities that the dragon will possess after its transformation will certainly not disappoint.

"Bai Bai, you have to succeed!"

As the owner, Zhou Chun couldn't help Bai Bai in any other way at the moment, so he could only cheer it on in his heart.

Looking up at the sky, bolts of lightning continued to bombard the silver-white unicorn python relentlessly. The python's once majestic and magnificent body was now mostly charred black.

But it showed no sign of giving up. Each time it was blasted down, it would proudly fly back up towards the dark cloud.

Once, twice, three times...

Towards the end, Zhou Chun couldn't bear to watch anymore.

Because the scene was just too horrific!

Since Bai Bai started following him, she has never suffered such terrible harm.

Its current appearance is no different from that of an earthworm, except that the single horn on its head is still flashing with lightning, and its whole body is charred black.

Zhou Chun had no idea where it would get the strength to continue flying upwards under these circumstances.

It can only be understood as the will of biological instinct, the instinctive desire engraved in the blood.

For dragon-born demon beasts, successfully transforming into a dragon is like ascending to heaven in one step, and encountering the "fish leaping over the dragon gate" opportunity is even more of a blessing from heaven.

Faced with such a divine blessing, even death would not deter one from taking a single step.

If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening!

This statement is not only applicable to human cultivators, but also to all seekers of the Dao in the world.

This continued for about fifteen minutes, until a fierce hiss of a snake rang out. Bai Bai, which was no longer in the shape of a snake, suddenly shot up into the sky like an arrow, forcefully smashing a bolt of lightning with its single horn on its head, and charged into the dark clouds.

This hiss became the last hiss that the Silver Lightning Python left behind in vain in the human world!

Suddenly, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth surged violently, rushing towards the dark clouds in the sky like a tidal wave.

That scene was about 80% similar to the celestial phenomenon that occurred when Lin Hongyu formed her Golden Core.

If Zhou Chun hadn't witnessed the whole thing, he probably would have mistaken it for a late-stage Purple Mansion cultivator successfully forming their core here.

Upon witnessing this scene, he felt extremely fortunate.

"Thank goodness I had the foresight not to let Bai Bai transform into a dragon in Tianyuan Immortal City. Otherwise, not only would the 'Fish Leaping Over the Dragon Gate' phenomenon not be able to be triggered, but even if it were, such a huge commotion would probably alarm half of the immortal city!"

If people find out that he possesses such a miraculous third-tier thunder dragon spirit pet, he probably won't dare to leave Tianyuan Immortal City.

Even so, Zhou Chun dared not relax for a moment.

Because of the strange changes in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it will inevitably attract the attention of the surrounding demons and cultivators.

Bai Bai, who has just successfully transformed into a dragon, is even more likely to become a target of covetous eyes from certain demonic beasts.

After all, compared to human cultivators who have to search for various spiritual herbs to refine into pills and consume them, the simplest way for demon beasts to quickly improve their cultivation is to devour the demon cores of other demon beasts.

Although lightning-attribute demonic beasts are relatively rare, Zhou Chun couldn't guarantee that there weren't any third-tier demonic beasts of this level in the Black Mist Swamp.

So he quickly instructed the wood spirits to keep watch and scout the entire island for him, and then quietly released the "Frostbee" and hid it on an ancient wooden puppet.

Looking up at the sky, a large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth converged and poured in, turning the dark cloud into a seven-colored spiritual pool. Bai Bai, who had successfully "leaped over the dragon gate," was now undergoing her final transformation within it.

In Zhou Chun's view, this transformation would definitely take a long time, and he might need to protect Bai Bai for a while.

As Zhou Chun had predicted, the strange phenomenon in the sky did indeed quickly attract some of the demonic beasts from the Black Mist Swamp.

He showed no mercy to these demonic beasts, ordering the Wood Spirits to chase them away if possible, and bury them on the spot to use as fertilizer if they couldn't be driven away.

When the adventure team composed of several cultivators entered the island's territory, Zhou Chunyi received a message from the Wood Spirit, instructing the Wood Spirit to capture and trap the people first.

Not knowing how long it would take for Bai Bai to complete his transformation, Zhou Chun certainly wouldn't let the cultivators attracted by the strange phenomenon leave easily, even if he didn't kill them.

Otherwise, if the news leaks out, who knows if it might attract the attention of a Golden Core cultivator who might be interested in it.

As it turns out, Zhou Chun did the right thing.

Even after most of the day had passed, the seven-colored spiritual pool in the sky had not yet dissipated and was still continuously gathering spiritual energy from the surrounding heaven and earth.

At this time, the number of cultivators captured by the Wood Spirits on the island had reached more than a dozen, and the number of dead demonic beasts was no less than a hundred.

Just then, the Wood Spirit sent another message to Zhou Chun: two human cultivators at the Purple Mansion stage had broken into the island!

"Two cultivators at the Purple Mansion stage have arrived?"

Zhou Chun frowned, his expression instantly becoming serious.

With his methods, he naturally has no fear of ordinary cultivators at the Purple Mansion stage.

However, the Great Zhou Kingdom is a holy land for cultivation in the surrounding area, and the Purple Mansion stage cultivators here are generally more powerful than those in the Jing Kingdom. The Purple Mansion stage cultivators who dare to venture into the Black Mist Swamp are probably even stronger.

More importantly, there are generally not many rogue cultivators who can cultivate to the Purple Mansion stage.

If the person who came had some powerful background, whether Zhou Chun chased them away or killed them, he would have made an enemy of his own.

In that instant, Zhou Chun thought about many things.

But soon his gaze hardened, and he had made up his mind.

With a swift movement, he flew towards the location of the two Purple Mansion stage cultivators.

Soon, Zhou Chun met the two Purple Mansion stage cultivators who had arrived.

The two people were clearly visible; one was at the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion realm, and the other at the early stage.

The one with higher cultivation was a middle-aged man in a blue robe, while the one with lower cultivation was a swordsman in a green robe, carrying a long sword on his back.

The two were clearly surprised to find other cultivators at the Purple Mansion stage on the island. They were startled when they saw Zhou Chun and slowed down their escape.

Zhou Chun did not immediately attack. Instead, he stopped and bowed to the two of them, saying, "Greetings, fellow Daoists. I am Zhang Liang, and I greet you both."

Seeing his demeanor, the two also stopped their escape. Then, the middle-aged man in blue looked at him and said in a deep voice, "Since Fellow Daoist Zhang came from the island, do you know what the Seven-Colored Spirit Pool above is all about?"

"To be honest, fellow Daoist, the appearance of that seven-colored spiritual pool is related to one of my spirit pets. It is currently in a critical situation, and I am here to protect it!"

Zhou Chun had naturally anticipated this question and answered it accordingly.

However, upon hearing his answer, the middle-aged man in the blue shirt frowned, his eyes showing disbelief.

The swordsman in the green robe looked at him with disdain and said, "Do you think we're fools? What kind of spirit pet is so extraordinary that it could cause such a celestial phenomenon? I think a rare treasure has been born, and you want to monopolize it by tricking us away!"

It's no wonder the swordsman in green said that. After all, if Zhou Chun hadn't witnessed the whole process, he would have naturally assumed that the seven-colored spiritual pool, filled with spiritual energy, was a phenomenon caused by the birth of some rare treasure.

So despite the other party's impolite tone, Zhou Chun patiently explained, "Fellow Daoist, you misunderstand. I, Zhang, dare to swear an oath to my inner demons that there are absolutely no extraordinary treasures there. If you two fellow Daoists do not believe me, you only need to wait here with me until the seven-colored spiritual pool dissipates, and you will know the truth!"

"Hmph, you've got a good plan. You keep us tied down here while your companion sneaks off to retrieve the treasure... Do you think we're just greenhorns fresh out of the mountain?"

The swordsman in the green robe snorted coldly, staring intently at Zhou Chun, his tone and expression revealing his opinion.

Clearly, he didn't believe Zhou Chun's explanation at all. He had already prejudged the idea that the Seven-Colored Spirit Pool phenomenon was a sign of the birth of a rare treasure, and that Zhou Chun had deliberately come to intercept them and seize the treasure.

The middle-aged man in blue spoke again at this moment: "Brother Li's words make sense. If what you say is true, and the Seven-Colored Spirit Pool is not a sign of a rare treasure appearing, why don't you allow the two of us to go and take a closer look? If there is no rare treasure, we naturally won't easily make enemies with you and ruin your opportunity for a spirit pet!"

Upon hearing this, both of them stared intently at Zhou Chun.

Zhou Chun, on the other hand, remained silent.

After a brief silence, he sighed softly and said, "Why is it that when I tell the truth, you refuse to believe me?"

Before he finished speaking, he raised his hand and patted the storage bag at his waist. Several magical artifacts flew out at once and launched an attack on the two people opposite him.

This is something he doesn't want to do, but he has no other choice now.

Bai Bai is still in the process of transforming into a dragon, and it's unknown when it will end.

If the two opponents were to discover that there was a newly born third-tier dragon in the Seven-Colored Spirit Pool, and that it was an extremely rare Thunder Dragon, it would be hard to say that they wouldn't be tempted to kill the newly advanced Thunder Dragon.

In that case, whether it's the rare inner core of the Thunder Dragon, or the dragon bones, dragon blood, dragon tendons, and other items on the Thunder Dragon's body, these two could become rich overnight.

The fact that cultivators dare to venture into the Black Mist Swamp demonstrates that they possess an adventurous spirit, making such an event highly probable.

Rather than testing their humanity like this, Zhou Chun would rather stop them now.

In this way, even if the two of them truly believed that the Seven-Colored Spirit Pool was a sign of a rare treasure's birth, they could still conceal the existence of the Thunder Dragon.

"You cunning scoundrel, you really did want to keep the treasure for yourself!"

The swordsman in green robes shouted in shock and anger, and his sword instantly flew out of its sheath, turning into a streak of green light as he slashed towards Zhou Chunfei.

However, Zhou Chun was protected by the Black Water Tortoise Shield, and the flying sword could not even break through the black light barrier before revealing its true form.

Zhou Chun himself completely ignored the attack of the green-robed swordsman. He simply activated the "Golden Rainbow Sword" to launch a fierce attack on the blue-robed middle-aged man, while raising his hand to unleash his magic power to activate the Fire Dragon Token magic artifact given to him by Lin Hongyu. He then condensed and released a crimson fire dragon that pounced on the blue-robed middle-aged man.

Perhaps sensing the power of the crimson fire dragon, the middle-aged man in blue did not dare to let it get close.

While using a black longsword to intercept the "Golden Rainbow Sword," he also summoned a blue banner, which condensed into a massive blue water snake to meet the crimson fire dragon.

But he soon experienced the sharpness of Zhou Chun's magical artifact.

His third-tier mid-grade magic weapon, the longsword, was quickly chipped with small nicks as it clashed with the "Golden Rainbow Sword," just like when Zhou Chun used his golden sword to fight against Wang Jun, the cultivator from Thunder Cliff Valley, with his silver-white spear—he simply couldn't win.

The blue water snake appeared to be several times larger than the crimson fire dragon released by the fire dragon token, but in reality, it was shattered upon impact and quickly torn apart and dried into wisps of smoke by the crimson fire dragon.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man in blue changed his expression and hurriedly activated his banner artifact to condense a new water snake to rush forward and block the fire dragon. At the same time, he transmitted his voice to the swordsman in green who was still fiercely attacking Zhou Chun with his sword: "Brother Li, this person's artifact is sharp, and he is probably not a simple person. You go and see what's going on in the Seven-Colored Spirit Pool. I'll hold him off for a while!"

"Alright, Brother Wu, please be careful!"

The swordsman in green nodded slightly, then abandoned Zhou Chun and attempted to bypass him to explore the Seven-Colored Spirit Pool.

But at that moment, a beam of emerald light suddenly shot out from the island, instantly piercing through the black mist on the island and arriving in front of the swordsman in green.

At the critical moment, a cyan protective shield suddenly appeared from the swordsman in the green robe, blocking the emerald green beam of light.

However, the swordsman in the green robe was also blasted away, his momentum halted.

"A third-tier demonic beast!"

In mid-air, the swordsman in the green robe looked in the direction from which the emerald beam of light had come, his expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but cry out.

Yo—

On the island, the azure spirit deer, transformed from a wood spirit, let out a long, ethereal cry. Emerald green wooden spikes then condensed around it, instantly unleashing a barrage of arrows towards the swordsman in blue.

Seeing this, the swordsman in green quickly formed a hand seal and made a sword incantation towards the green flying sword. The flying sword immediately transformed into a green sword rainbow that spun and flew forward in the air. In an instant, it shattered the wooden spikes in the sky with its sharp sword light and flew towards the green spirit deer.

Faced with such an attack, the azure spirit deer remained completely calm.

A vibrant green light emanated from the antlers on its head, quickly condensing into a green light curtain above its head.

After the cyan flying sword struck the emerald green light screen, it only caused the screen to sway slightly before it could no longer advance even an inch.

Upon seeing this, the swordsman in green immediately changed his sword technique, and his green flying sword instantly unleashed more than a dozen sharp green sword energies, striking the emerald green light screen along with the flying sword.

This attack finally had an effect, and the emerald green light barrier shattered instantly.

But when the light curtain dissipated, there was no trace of the blue spirit deer inside.

Before the swordsman in green could ponder the whereabouts of the azure spirit deer, a chill suddenly surged from behind him.

Without thinking twice, he hurriedly activated the power of his protective magic artifact to its maximum, and the azure light shield around him suddenly became much brighter.

But this still couldn't save his life!

As four streams of white, icy air landed on it, the cyan light barrier was frozen and shattered in less than a few breaths, and the swordsman in the cyan robe inside was quickly frozen solid by the "Heavenly Frost Chill".

Immediately afterward, a flash of green light appeared, and a jade-green spear shot through the air, instantly shattering the head of the swordsman in the green robe.

"Brother Li!!"

Not far away, the middle-aged man in blue, who was still struggling with Zhou Chun, saw this scene and was both shocked and angry. He shouted angrily.

Then, his face filled with shock and anger, he roared at Zhou Chun, "You killed Brother Li! The Qinglan Li family will definitely not let you off! Just wait for Senior Li's revenge!"

Before the words were even finished, he turned and ran away.

"Where do you think you're going!"

Zhou Chun gave a low shout and immediately flew off on his sword to give chase.

But Wood Spirit was ordered by him to stay on the island and continue to protect Bai Bai.

However, the environment of the Black Mist Swamp is clearly not friendly to the side that is chasing the enemy.

After chasing the middle-aged man in blue for a distance, Zhou Chun was escaped by the man using a water escape technique.

When he returned to the island, he found that the Wood Spirit was fighting a third-tier demon beast and was being completely overwhelmed by it.

"It's a Thunderworm Beast!"

Zhou Chun looked at the demon beast fighting the wood spirit, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

The monster looked just like a giant earthworm.

It was several dozen feet long, with rings of silver-white thunder patterns growing on its black skin, and a silver-white horn several feet long growing from its head.

This is also a very rare high-level monster with both earth and lightning attributes, named "Thunderworm Beast".

These "Thunderworm Beasts" prefer to live in swampy mudflats. During thunderstorms, they come out to absorb the power of lightning to temper themselves.

The single horn on the head of the "Thunderworm Beast" is an extremely rare item, naturally possessing the ability to attract and avoid lightning.

This substance can be refined into magical artifacts that can summon heavenly lightning for attacks, and can also absorb the lightning magic and supernatural powers of enemies, making it extremely miraculous.

"It seems there really aren't any fifth-tier demonic beasts in this Black Mist Swamp, otherwise this 'Thunderworm Beast' wouldn't be able to roam so freely!"

Zhou Chun stared intently at the "Thunderworm Beast," having already gleamed with intelligence through its existence and thus gained insight into some of the secrets of the Black Mist Swamp.

It is important to know that because of the lightning-avoiding function of the "Thunderworm Beast" with its single horn, not only do human cultivators become greedy upon seeing it, but fifth-order demonic beasts or fourth-order high-grade demonic beasts who know the wonderful use of its single horn will regard it as their own possession and will not let it out of their sight.

Because when a demon beast advances from the fourth to the fifth rank, it will inevitably undergo the "Heavenly Tribulation," which is also known as the "Transformation Tribulation" by cultivators.

Once a demon beast survives the "Heavenly Tribulation," it will not only advance to the fifth rank, but will also gain the ability to transform into human form.

Fifth-tier demonic beasts are also known as "demon kings." They are more intelligent than mortals and have an incredibly long lifespan, far surpassing that of Nascent Soul stage cultivators. Sometimes, they are even more difficult to deal with than Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

When fourth-tier demonic beasts undergo the "Heavenly Tribulation," the unicorn horn of the "Thunderworm Beast" can help them withstand part of the tribulation's power, increasing their chances of successfully passing the tribulation.

Therefore, if there really is a fifth-tier demon king in the Black Mist Swamp, it must have discovered this "Thunderworm Beast" long ago and imprisoned it.

Zhou Chun estimated that this "Thunderworm Beast" had probably been attracted by the previous "Fish Leaping Over the Dragon Gate" phenomenon long ago, but had been hiding in the shadows without making a move.

It wasn't until he chased the middle-aged man in blue away that the beast found an opportunity to devour Bai Bai, who was in the process of evolving.

After all, for a monster like the "Thunderworm Beast," if it could swallow a Thunder Dragon Inner Core with attributes that matched its own, it could save a hundred years of hard work and advance to a mid-grade third-tier monster without any problem. It could even greatly enhance and improve its own bloodline.

Unfortunately, before it could get past the Wood Spirit, Zhou Chun returned.

At this moment, upon seeing Zhou Chun return, the "Thunderworm Beast" immediately abandoned the Wood Spirit and fled to the ground, attempting to escape using the Earth Escape Technique.

However, among the five elements, the wood element happens to restrain the earth element.

The moment the Thunderworm Beast touched the ground, lush green grass and trees sprouted where it landed, instantly draining and disrupting the surrounding earth elemental energy. They also formed a large net of roots underground, trapping it in one fell swoop.

Although it quickly unleashed lightning from its single horn to shatter the tree roots, it was no longer able to use its earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magical ability) here.

Zhou Chun had already arrived and immediately released several "Frostbees" that he had previously gathered in his sleeve.

The Thunderworm Beast had witnessed the power of the Frostbee before, and upon seeing Zhou Chun release it, it immediately let out a terrified roar.

Then, something surprising happened to Zhou Chun.

Suddenly, a surge of yellow light appeared above the Thunderworm Beast's head, and it voluntarily shed its silver-white horn.

As soon as this object left the body of the Thunderworm Beast, the Thunderworm Beast's aura suddenly dropped, and its cultivation level decreased by several tens of percent out of thin air.

Furthermore, the rings of silver-white lightning patterns on its body dimmed considerably.

The Thunderworm Beast, however, tossed its head, wrapped its detached silver-white horn in its magic, and flew towards Zhou Chun, emitting a hoarse hiss. Its head repeatedly thumped the ground, as if begging Zhou Chun for mercy.

"Wow, you're quite clever, you beast!"

Zhou Chun let out a surprised exclamation, also astonished by the "Thunderworm Beast's" highly intelligent behavior.

It's not surprising that a monster would beg for mercy, but the "Thunderworm Beast's" highly intelligent behavior is something that ordinary monsters cannot do.

Zhou Chun guessed that this "Thunderworm Beast" probably had another opportunity, ate some spiritual object that helped to awaken the spirit, and that's why it knew to sacrifice the pawn to save the king, using its most valuable silver-white horn to exchange for its own life.

"Very well, considering how difficult your cultivation has been, I'll spare your life today and form a good karmic connection with you!"

After scrutinizing the Thunderworm Beast with a flickering gaze, Zhou Chun finally nodded and decided to let it go.

To him, the most valuable thing about the Thunderworm Beast was its silver-white horn.

While the other demon cores also have considerable value, and perhaps letting the Thunder Dragon swallow them could increase its cultivation level, they are not essential.

The Thunderworm Beast is extremely rare in the cultivation world, and even fewer can grow to the third rank like this Thunderworm Beast.

If we spare its life today, it might come in handy someday!

After making this decision, Zhou Chun immediately raised his hand and retrieved the silver-white horn. He then put away the attacking magic weapon and made the wood spirit suppress its hostility.

Upon seeing this, the "Thunderworm Beast" immediately bowed to him with great joy, then quickly snaked along the ground for a distance. Finally, a flash of yellow light appeared on its body, and it used the technique of burrowing underground to disappear without a trace.

After watching the Thunderworm Beast depart, Zhou Chun turned back to look at the silver-white horn in his hand, stroking it with affection and exclaiming, "What a treasure! If someone needed this, they'd probably trade a magic weapon for it!"

After all, this is a treasure that can help a fourth-tier high-grade demon beast overcome the "Heavenly Tribulation"!

For those fourth-tier high-grade demonic beasts, if they had magic treasures, they would be willing to exchange two or three of them for this item, let alone one.

Zhou Chun hadn't figured out how to use this item yet. Since he already had the Thunder Dragon Bai Bai as his spirit pet, he figured he didn't need to refine it into a magic weapon. He could only keep it for now and see how it went later.

After collecting the Thunderworm Beast's horn, Zhou Chun went to collect the body of the swordsman in green.

This person seems to have some background. Judging from the words of the middle-aged man in blue, he seems to be from a family that produces Golden Core cultivators.

Unfortunately, this is the Great Zhou Kingdom, and a mere Golden Core family that Zhou Chun has never even heard of can't really cause any trouble.

Even if Zhou Chun had used his real identity, he wouldn't be too afraid of a Golden Core family.

After all, as long as he wasn't directly confronted by a Golden Core cultivator, with the help of the Thunder Dragon after its successful transformation into a dragon, there weren't many people in the Purple Mansion stage who could kill him.

At this moment, a random fire burned the green-robed swordsman's corpse to ashes. Zhou Chun then waited for Bai Bai's evolution to finish while cracking the green-robed swordsman's storage bag.

Several hours later, before Bai Bai had finished evolving, Zhou Chun had already opened the storage bag of the green-robed swordsman.

Because he had come out to venture into the dangerous Black Mist Swamp, the swordsman in the green robe didn't have many spirit coins in his storage bag, only a few thousand. However, he had quite a few spirit items produced in the Black Mist Swamp, as well as some monster materials. It seemed that he had been inside for quite some time, and now they had all benefited Zhou Chun.

The cyan flying sword he used was also a mid-grade third-tier magic weapon, worth a considerable amount of spirit coins.

After a careful inspection, Zhou Chun found some tampered items in the green-robed swordsman's storage bag, including a bottle of valuable healing pills, several spirit coins, and a seven-hundred-year-old medicinal herb.

He could sense that these things had been left with hidden divine imprints, which he guessed were the work of the Golden Core cultivator from the Green Robe Swordsman family.

If someone were to kill the swordsman in green and then be careless enough not to notice the unusual nature of these things, they could really be in deep trouble.

Unfortunately, Zhou Chun was always cautious and came from a family of Golden Core cultivators. He was not a shallow person, so it was impossible for him to be fooled by such methods.

He burned all the problematic items and also destroyed and burned the green-robed swordsman's storage bag.

In this way, there's no need to worry about being found by that Golden Core cultivator from the Qinglan Li family after leaving the Black Mist Swamp.

After waiting patiently for several more hours, a clear and melodious dragon roar suddenly rang out in the sky.

Lei Jiao Bai Bai has finally evolved successfully!
