Chapter 541: Corrosive Poison Sparrow

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

A battle between a beauty and a beast had a very dramatic appeal. At the very least, Mo Wen was enjoying his time spectating and the thought of stepping forth to help did not even cross his mind.

Although Yin Banshuang was only of the beginning stage of the Golden Elixir realm, her battle abilities were very strong. Most of the ancient martial art practitioners in the beginning stage of the Golden Elixir realm were not even her match.

However, a seventh rank ground shell beast also had very strong battle abilities. Its defensive ability was especially amazing. With its entire body of scaly shells, even weapons could not penetrate it and neither water nor fire seemed to harm it. If the normal ancient martial art practitioner with the beginning stage of the Golden Elixir realm were to meet it, he would have no choice but to retreat and withdraw from the fight.

In order to kill this seventh rank ground shell beast, Yin Banshuang had even used the Tiger Claw spiritual weapon. The ferocity of a tiger was unparalleled and it actually exerted a strong pressure on the seventh rank ground shell beast, forcing its head down.

“The Tiger Claw spiritual weapon should be a medium grade spiritual weapon.” Mo Wen stroked his chin and looked at the battle demeanor of Yin Banshuang thoughtfully. Every time she unleashed an attack with the Tiger Claw spiritual weapon, she would be able to leave a deep wound on the body of the seventh rank ground shell beast. A normal spiritual weapon could not possibly be so powerful.

Spiritual weapons were split into levels, namely, the low grade, medium grade and top grade; profound level weapons were split in that way as well. Two similar spiritual weapons could have very big differences in their powers given that they have different levels.

Boom, boom! After a moment, the huge body of the seventh level ground shell beast crashed onto the ground with an explosive sound. Its blood stained the entire ground red. There were hundreds of injuries on its body.

Yin Banshuang panted heavily and slowly kept her Tiger Claw spiritual weapon. If not for the spiritual weapon, she was afraid that she probably would not have killed this huge chap successfully.

“Bravo, bravo,” Mo Wen clapped his hands and nodded continuously.

“It doesn’t seem very manly for you to hide behind a woman, right?” Yin Banshuang raised her brows to look at Mo Wen. Clearly, she had a grudge against Mo Wen for staying out of the battle. Although she had not asked him to help, it did not mean that she had wanted to battle the ground shell beast alone. The efforts of two people combined would definitely make things much easier than if she did it herself.

“Didn’t I give you the opportunity to display your skills?” Mo Wen said with a laugh. “Also, I am still so young so I am still a boy.”

“Disgusting.” Yin Banshuang had not imagined that Mo Wen would be so shameless. Still a boy? Such a disgusting person!

“This seventh level ground shell beast was killed all by myself. So, you won’t get a share of any rewards.” Yin Banshuang stepped forth without being too courteous. Then, she began to focus on dissecting the seventh level ground shell beast. Any seventh level monstrous beast would have extremely precious treasures in its body, especially the ground shell beast. Their scaly shells were actually the best material for crafting weapons. If the scaly shell of the seventh level ground shell beast was sold to the Weapon Forging Sect, it would fetch an extremely high price.

“I don’t mind, as long as you are able to bring it with you.” Mo Wen crossed his arms and looked as though he did not care about it at all. Indeed, he had no interest in it. The things on the body of the seventh level ground shell beast were of no use to him.

Upon hearing that, Yin Banshuang was so stunned that she even paused her dissection. What Mo Wen said was not wrong. It was impossible for her to bring along all the materials that she could retrieve from such a huge ground shell beast. Normally, if she was able to kill a seventh level ground shell beast, she would immediately carry the corpse and return to the large camp outside the Beast Lair.

However, this time, she had come with Mo Wen for a different purpose. It was not to get the materials from the seventh level ground shell beast. Instead, she had more important things to achieve.

Thinking of that, Yin Banshuang casually threw aside the materials that she had retrieved from the body of the seventh level ground shell beast. Brushing the dirt off her hands, she said, “Let’s go, we have important things to do.”

“You can bear to do that?” Mo Wen’s mouth curled up into a mocking smile.

It was definitely not easy for Yin Banshuang to kill off a seventh level ground shell beast. Not only was her inner Qi used up, but she had also even depleted the spiritual stone from the use of her spiritual weapon. All in all, she had spent quite a bit. If she simply threw away the treasures on the body of the seventh level ground shell beast, it would be a huge loss on her part.

“Do you think I don’t know how to make an appropriate choice? Both of us clearly know what is more important.” Yin Banshuang glanced over at Mo Wen. Without another word, she flew into the passageway. In comparison to that thing, a mere seventh level ground shell beast was but a useless cloud. Naturally, she would not give up her chance of obtaining something better.

Mo Wen looked at the back view of Yin Banshuang who had disappeared into the passageway. He laughed cynically and after glancing around to make sure that there was nobody around, he extended his hand and waved. A blurry green light flashed by and wiped over the body of that seventh level ground shell beast. Then, an amazing thing happened. Immediately, the corpse of the seventh level ground shell beast had disappeared.

Mo Wen touched the Medicine spiritual ring on his hand. Then, he smilingly began to make his way through the passageway.

The layered passageway was very deep. Even after the two of them had flown for 1000 to 2000 meters, they had yet to reach the end. Located on a slope of 1000 to 2000 meters at least 600 to 700 meters deep, the second level of the Beast Lair was still hidden very deep inside.

In the passageway, there were some monstrous beasts levitating. However, they were not strong. With the combined Cultivation of both of them, they would be able to settle the beasts anytime.

There was a weird law in the Tan Zi Beast Lair. In the deeper layers, there were stronger monstrous beasts. Those strong monstrous beasts rarely appeared at the surface and were essentially non-existent there. Because of that, the human ancient martial art practitioners were able to judge which are the more dangerous regions and which are the comparatively safer ones.

For that reason, the monstrous beasts from the different layers in Tan Zi Beast Lair would not “visit” one another. Hence, the passageway was considered the safest place in Tan Zi Beast Lair. Even if monstrous beasts appeared, their Cultivations were not high enough. Moreover, they were monstrous beasts with very low intelligence.

A bright light had appeared at the front. Initially, it started out as a small glow but it was getting brighter and brighter.

“We have finally arrived at the end,” Yin Banshuang’s tense expression relaxed a little.

“Do you not find it odd that there is a bright light deep underground?” Mo Wen looked at Yin Banshuang weirdly.

“There’s nothing odd about it. I believe this is the first time that you have come to such a Beast Lair, right?” Yin Banshuang said calmly.

Mo Wen nodded his head. While he had seen a Beast Lair before, he had never seen one in this world.

“There are many weird ores in the Tan Zi Beast Lair. Some of these ores are able to shine just like lightbulbs, brightening up the dark underground. There are also some weird monstrous beasts that have luminous bodies. Everywhere these beasts go, the area is lit entirely.”

There were some areas in Tan Zi Beast Lair that were pitch dark. However, there were also areas that were completely bright.

Upon hearing that, Mo Wen nodded his head. Yin Banshuang truly had a much better understanding of Tan Zi Beast Lair than he did.

When the two of them flew out of the passageway, they were a few hundred meters in the air. It was as though they were levitating in mid-air. Of course, they were currently deep underground. It was just that they had gone into another space.

Mo Wen glanced downwards to see that the place was completely deserted. There were unknown weeds and grasses growing. Above their heads was a layer of soil. When glancing around, they were unable to see the ends of the place. There were many pieces of shining stones lodged in the surface of the soil. Some of them were as small as a thumb while others were as big as a person’s head, and some of them looked like a millstone. Those ores were shining brightly, lighting up the space underground. If one looked up, it would look just like a sky full of stars.

Cuckoo! An odd sound rang out. Initially, the sound seemed to be far away. However, as time passed, the sound got closer and closer.

A black line appeared ahead. At first, the black line was very thin. As time went by, it got thicker and thicker. By the end, it had covered the entire sky and essentially hogged all the space.

“That is the Corrosive Poison Sparrow! Run fast.”

With one glance, Yin Banshuang’s expression had become infinitely pale. Her headful of hair danced in the wind and it was as though she had already turned to run without even thinking.

Mo Wen blinked his eyes. Without a second word, he followed behind Yin Banshuang to return to the passageway once again. Although he did not know what the Corrosive Poison Sparrow was, that group of monstrous beasts had covered the entire sky. Simply thinking about it would make one tremble in fear. Not just them, even if an entire martial art sect had been surrounded, they would not come to a good end.

Yin Banshuang flew for another 500 to 600 meters before slowly coming to a stop. “We are simply too unlucky. After just reaching the second layer, we already encountered a group of Corrosive Poison Sparrows. It was a good thing that we were so close to the passageway. If not, that would have been the end of us in Tan Zi Beast Lair.

Yin Banshuang still had fear in her heart. Monstrous beasts from the different layers very rarely appeared in passageways of this kind. Hence, hiding in the passageway was considered the safest method.

“Corrosive Poison Sparrow?” Mo Wen asked curiously.

“The Corrosive Poison Sparrow is the most frightening monstrous beast in the second layer. Individually, they are not powerful. However, they are when they gather as a group, as they cover the skies the moment they appear. Inside their bodies, the Corrosive Poison Sparrows have a type of corrosive poison. The poison that they spit out can even corrode a stone.”

“Perhaps you have never witnessed a Corrosive Poison Sparrow traveling across space. It is said that the total poison spat out by 100000 of the Corrosive Poison Sparrows could completely corrode an entire mountain. Every time a group of Corrosive Poison Sparrows travels through space, many mountain peaks disappear.”

“It is not a secret that there are Corrosive Poison Sparrows in the second layer of the Tan Zi Beast Lair. However, people normally do not encounter them. That is because the Corrosive Poison Sparrows are often deep in sleep underground. They would only group up and appear outside during the hunting season. Their power of destruction is so strong that they could even handle the ninth layer of the Tan Zi Beast Lair.”

Yin Banshuang breathed in deeply. The group of Corrosive Poison Sparrows was rare but they had gotten the chance to meet it. This luck of theirs was really...

“That group of Corrosive Poison Sparrows should have gone far away from us by now.” After waiting for about 15 minutes, Mo Wen flew out once again from the exit. At the moment, the space of the second layer was completely calm. The group of Corrosive Poison Sparrows had disappeared entirely. Only the ground was full of bumps and hollows. Many of the stones had corroded halfway or turned completely black, letting out puffs of black fog.

The ends of the place could not be seen. Clearly, it had been a scene caused by the poison of the Corrosive Poison Sparrows. Mo Wen did a rough calculation, only to work out that there must have been at least hundreds of thousands of the Corrosive Poison Sparrows before!

“The second layer is different from the first layer. Even with our high Cultivations, we may lose our lives if we are not careful. Be very cautious,” Yin Banshuang said as her expression grew solemn. They had already encountered the scariest bunch of monstrous beasts in the second layer upon entering. Just what kind of omen was that?

“There are still others in the second layer,” Mo Wen sensed something and he looked towards the north-west direction.

“Hm?” Upon hearing that, Yin Banshuang looked over as well. Her detection abilities were not as good as Mo Wen’s so she was only able to sense the abnormality after a while.

She furrowed her brows before saying, “There’s no need to care about others. It is very normal for some human ancient martial art practitioners to appear in Tan Zi Beast Lair at such a time. After all, the resources in the second layer are much more abundant than in the first layer. Let’s rush over to the fifth layer immediately to prevent others from reaching there first. I suspect that this time, there is a huge number of human ancient martial art practitioners surging into Tan Zi Beast Lair. I’m afraid it’s too late to change the fact that news of that thing has already gotten out.”
