I Pick Up A Bunch Of Attributes

Chapter 253 - 253 Charge Ahead Together

253 Charge Ahead Together

“However, since you’re here, I have to make some changes to my previous combat method.”

Feng Xia’s eyes flickered slightly.

He thought of many things in an instant.

Previously, his combat style was completely one-on-one. There was no obvious strategy. If he could win, he would charge ahead. If he could not, he would escape. Now that he had Zhu Youniang with him, this method was not very nimble.

After all, this young girl was not just a pretty face without any combat strength.

Feng Xia pondered for a moment and quickly came up with a new battle plan.

If they could win, they would charge ahead together. If they could not, they would escape together.

It was perfect.

“There’s still half a month left. Since I have to collect two sets of talismans, I can’t be as relaxed as before. Moreover, I don’t know if that Holy Son will cause any new trouble…”

Feng Xia pondered for a moment before turning to look at the demon fox Bai Xiao. “You…”

Bai Xiao immediately shuddered and said with tears in her eyes, “Young… Young master, you’re not going to add homework for me, are you?”

Every time Bai Xiao thought about the cultivation techniques Feng Xia had given her, she would get a terrible headache. Although the demon fox was a demon beast with higher intelligence, it was bloodline inheritance that everyone valued more at the end.

Refining cultivation techniques was naturally not a problem, but for her to deduce incomplete cultivation techniques…

She felt that her head was now even bigger than the tail behind her!

It was not as if she was a human tool… no, a fox tool!

“I don’t have that many cultivation techniques for you to complete for the time being.” Feng Xia shook his head and Bai Xiao heaved a sigh of relief. However, immediately after, her heart was in her throat again as Feng Xia continued, “No matter what, finish these cultivation techniques first. If you have any questions, you can ask me.”

Oh, do I still have to finish them…

Bai Xiao secretly stuck out her tongue with a reluctant expression, but on the surface, she still lowered her head and whispered, “As you wish.”

“Oh, right, I haven’t finished yet.”

At this moment, Feng Xia suddenly added, “Do you know where the Heavenly Stairway is?”

…

“Fine, fine, fine. If you want to be the boss, I’ll let you be the boss.”

On the other side, the Holy Son seemed to be exceptionally tolerant of the way Long Da was throwing a hopping mad tantrum. He did not seem to be angry at all as he smiled warmly and said, “Little fellow, do you know how lucky it is for you to become my mount?”

“Pah!” Long Da’s reply was rather simple and filled with disdain.

“Even if you don’t understand it today, you will definitely understand it one day.” The Holy Son smiled and took out the egg from his Dao Platform. He held it in front of his eyes and examined it carefully.

He could see that the eggshell was covered in complicated and fine patterns that looked like it was constantly changing. It traced the mystic of the bloodline and deduced the truth of the Great Dao, making one feel dizzy and intoxicated.

If it was another living being with weaker cultivation or mental fortitude, they might become too immersed and would forget to eat or sleep until their flesh and blood essence dried up!

However, the Holy Son did not have such concerns. He gently caressed the eggshell as if he was caressing an exquisite treasure. There was a faint smile in his eyes that made Long Da’s hair stand on end.

No!

Stay back!

Let me go!

“This guy is definitely a pervert…”

“Kid, I want to take you to a place. It’s the birthplace of the first Demon Emperor of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons, a real dragon cave. Even the first level of the entire Demon Imperial Tombs is built on that True Dragon Cave…”

The Holy Son said indifferently.

Others might not know the secret of the Demon Imperial Tombs, but as a monster from the deepest part of the Demon Imperial Tombs, no one knew the structure of the entire Imperial Tombs better than him!

The True Dragon Cave was the birthplace of true dragons. It was a top-notch blessed spot. Even if one was not from the Dragon Clan, one could use the dragon cave to nurture oneself and increase one’s cultivation and strength.

“True Dragon Cave?”

Long Da was shocked when he heard this. He was immediately overjoyed.

There was actually such a good place in the Demon Imperial Tombs?

Although he came from beyond the heavens and knew that very soon, the tomb of the legendary expert—the Supreme Demon Dragon Emperor—would be connected to the space of the Demon Imperial Tombs, his understanding of the Demon Imperial Tombs itself mostly came from Qing Lin.

Whatever Qing Lin did not know, it was naturally impossible for him to know.

He had found a fake dragon cave earlier. Just by being there, he had already obtained great benefits. It was also there that he was mistaken by the Holy Son to be an opportunity in the Demon Imperial Tombs and then the Holy Son kept “feeding” him with his own blood essence and treasures!

Just the fake dragon cave was enough for him to improve further. His foundation was incomparably solid, and he even had the confidence to try to break out of the shell again.

So…

What if it was the True Dragon Cave?

Just the thought of it was enough to tempt him. At the thought of this, Long Da did not hesitate any longer. Instead, he immediately connected to the spiderweb network. “Fellow practitioner Feng! Fellow practitioner Feng! I’ve found a True Dragon Cave…”

The Holy Son did not notice Long Da’s little actions.

After being sabotaged by Feng Xia twice in a row, he did not have much strength left, especially his original soul power. He had completely restrained it, so that not a trace was being leaked.

It was also because of this that the Holy Son did not notice that he had been cleanly betrayed by an egg without him realizing it!

…

On the other side, Feng Xia and Zhu Youniang had just entered the depths of a ruin.

Based on his exploration during this period of time, he had basically confirmed one thing. There were many ruins and buildings in the Demon Imperial Tombs. Judging from their styles, they did not seem to belong to the same race. In fact, they might not even belong to the same era!

Obviously, they could not have all been built by the first Demon Emperor alone.

“There are so many different kinds of ruins. Maybe they don’t all belong to the Demon Imperial Tombs originally, but the Demon Emperor teleported them over using great magical power and refined them into a part of the space in the Demon Imperial Tombs…”

Feng Xia grabbed Zhu Youniang with one hand and stroked the relief carvings on the wall with the other hand. A thoughtful look flashed across his eyes.

He could not help but have a trace of doubt. Could this be a different form of sacrificial burial?

“Or could it be that the first Demon Emperor used this action to collect the remains and relics of various races?” Feng Xia frowned. He still lacked some key information and was unable to deduce the truth.

“Never mind, I don’t have to think so much. I’ll defeat the guardian here first.”

Feng Xia perked up slightly and looked at the giant standing in the tall grotto.

The latter had obviously noticed the three intruders. After a deafening roar, the giant’s feet cracked the ground, and with the purest physical strength, he brazenly rushed towards Feng Xia.

“Youniang!”

“Coming!”

Boom boom boom boom boom—

A huge battle erupted!

After an unknown period of time, the earth-shaking commotion finally gradually subsided. Feng Xia let out a long breath and landed on the ground with Zhu Youniang. His body swayed and he almost collapsed to the ground.

This giant’s strength was undoubtedly ranked top among the guardians that Feng Xia had encountered!

“Seriously… I almost failed!”

Feng Xia panted heavily. The girl beside him was also drenched in perspiration. Her clothes were totally wet and clung tightly to her body, her high bosom heaving up and down.

The girl moved lazily and flopped around to lay in Feng Xia’s arms.

The demon fox Bai Xiao stood at the back and watched on.

“This giant’s strength seems to have reached the level of a demon king. The strength of the body is comparable to a Primal Core divine weapon. Even when parts of the body fall off, they turn into smaller stone giants to continue fighting!”

“It’s only because of his clumsy movements and lack of combat experience as a true demon king that led to him being slowly worn down to death by me and Youniang. This also means that the Azure Dragon incarnation is still quite a distance away from the demon king level.”

The corners of Feng Xia’s mouth curled up slightly. He was not dejected to know of this distance.

This was because not long ago, there was still a huge gap between the two. If the gap had narrowed by such a large margin now, it would presumably not be long before the Azure Dragon incarnation could completely cross it.

“As expected, it was right for me to let the Azure Dragon incarnation break through as soon as possible. In addition, the light balls dropped due to the attribute superpower seem to be able to be used on the incarnation…”

Otherwise, given that Feng Xia did not have much experience in the Primal Core Realm, even if the Azure Dragon incarnation was miraculous and had an extraordinary bloodline, it would still be impossible for him to maintain such rapid progress.

He still had to rely on his true form’s strength.

“This is the Stone Clan’s ancestral land that you spoke of?”

Suddenly, the demon fox Bai Xiao’s ears twitched and she sat up from the ground. The fur on her thick tail stood up and it swayed behind her at a high speed. She looked at the entrance of the grotto warily.

“Ha!” she said in a low voice.

There were outsiders coming!

“By the way, did you guys make a mistake? How is this place dangerous? Along the way, we haven’t encountered any danger at all except for a few big and small cats.”

“Impossible. I saw it clearly in the ancient books. In the first level of the Demon Imperial Tombs, this ruin that belongs to the Stone Clan hides one of the top inheritances…”

“But what we encountered along the way is too different from what you said, right?”

“It’s possible that the particular ancient book was from an earlier era. As time passed, the living beings in this ruin gradually died. In the end, they became what we saw.”

Suddenly, the footsteps stopped.

Many pairs of eyes blinked and their gazes intersected, causing the surrounding air to instantly freeze.

“You have obtained the inheritance here?”

A few pairs of eyes landed on Feng Xia and the others. Suddenly, one of the figures exclaimed in surprise, “That guy… seems to be the recently notorious Xia Donghai!”

“It’s really Xia Donghai…”

“He looks very weak!”

“Look carefully at his body. The Yin energy is obviously much denser than the Yang energy. The Yin and Yang are not well balanced, which means that he has only just reached the Primal Core Realm! This is a situation that newbies who have just entered the Primal Core Realm often encounter!”

The few outsiders were silent at first. They looked at one another and then yelled at almost the same time.

“Hand over the inheritance immediately and we, the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, will spare your life!
