Chapter 346: Spiritual Dream 7 Woods Bring Tumors Supernatural Dark Erosion Attribute (3k)
Above the night sky, the howling of battle erupting was incredibly terrifying. Shrubs on the ground were continuously rolled up like small balls and then dragged into the sky, twisted into scattered debris by the strong airflow.
“Damn humans! If you keep causing trouble here, he’ll smell your aura soon, and none of you will be able to leave.” Another collision of light flickered. The giant black unicorn let out a low roar from its huge mouth, and the sound of the wind echoed throughout the mountain range.
“It? As expected… it’s not just this herd of Black Cloud Beasts.”
retracting his gaze, Su Jiu held the tail of Huo Huo, who was fast asleep, and helplessly flicked him with his finger. After the latter slowly opened his eyes, he pointed at the black unicorn in the sky again and said, “Can you find a place with the same scent on it?”
“Hmm… the same scent? Let me sense it.”
Wriggling in Su Jiu’s hand, Huo Huo blinked his ruby-like eyes and sniffed in the direction of the battle. He then closed his eyes, seemingly contemplating the direction of the scent in his mind.
“We need to get these people to leave quickly. Those things are not simple either.”
Seeing this, Su Jiu didn’t stand idle. He looked at the people who were still capturing Black Cloud Beasts, then stuffed Huo Huo into his pocket and flickered away.
“Whoosh whoosh…”
The figure in the black robe shuttled through the wet, dark forest without a drop of water touching its body. In a short while, a beam of light entered its sight, and she arrived at the mountainous area with many people.
Glancing at the people still chasing the Black Cloud Beasts, some soaring in the sky, some rushing on the ground with skills, the flying sand and stones on the ground also formed a small battlefield.
With a light breath, Su Jiu exerted force with his feet and soared into the sky, landing on a large rock. He cupped his hands around his mouth and amplified his voice, “Everyone, stop catching Black Cloud Beasts! Didn’t you hear the black unicorn in the sky say ‘he’ is coming? Hurry up and leave!”
“Pfft, what problem could there be with the Saint Son around?”
As soon as the words fell, someone glanced at Su Jiu, but quickly averted their gaze, a look of disdain on their face, as if they didn’t want to bother with Su Jiu at all, making the latter feel a bit awkward. It seemed these people were all risk-takers for money.
At this moment, the brawny bounty hunter, who was still trying to catch a second Black Cloud Beast, also discovered Su Jiu’s figure. He twisted his head in mid-air and shouted quickly, “Don’t just stand there like idiots, come and help!”
“Mao Mao, I smell it! A sour smell! It’s to the left!”
Glancing at the other party, Su Jiu’s V Yi Qi (Ba,)〕 Ba Ling; (Qi.). Li Liu, as he was about to say something more, Huo Huo’s whisper came to his ears. The latter stretched out his head, resting on her pocket, flicking his tongue. If it weren’t for the two bulging small horns on his head, someone might have mistaken him for a corn snake.
“It’s indeed by the trees.”
Upon hearing this, Su Jiu also squinted and looked to the left. In that direction were several towering ancient trees, soaring into the clouds like giant black figures. Under the night, in this flat mountain range, they looked like giants guarding their territory.
Su Jiu formed a hand seal, and a red energy sword appeared at her feet. Without hesitation, Su Jiu lightly stepped on it and “whooshed” towards the tall, ancient trees.
“Damn it, why did she leave? My Black Cloud Beast is going to run away!”
“What bad luck. Captain, who did you call?”
The moment she left, a Black Cloud Beast was driven over, and behind that Black Cloud Beast, the brawny bounty hunter and a group of people were frantically chasing.
Su Jiu naturally couldn’t hear the brawny bounty hunter’s curses. Her body constantly weaved through the leaves, which were nearly half a person’s height. She spiraled up around the large trees several times, but couldn’t find a place that could accommodate such a seven to eight-meter-long monster.
“Thud!”
Landing on a huge tree root, feeling the damp and humid environment, Su Jiu frowned. Then, she lowered her head and asked Huo Huo, “Huo Huo, you said it was here, but I haven’t seen a place for such a large unicorn to sleep and rest… Did we make a mistake?”
Lying on her pocket, Huo Huo blinked his eyes and nudged his snake head slightly towards the sky, saying softly, “It’s a bit higher up.”
“Higher up?”
Hearing Huo Huo’s words, Su Jiu’s brows twitched. She also looked up slightly, and her eyes lit up a little. Her gaze penetrated through the dense, wide leaves, and she continued somewhat puzzled, “But I’ve already looked around the top quite a bit… except…”
“Is it the canopy?!”
Suddenly thinking of something, Su Jiu paused slightly, her eyes slowly widened, and she looked sharply at Huo Huo. That black unicorn could hover…
“Silly Mao Mao… I’ll take you up there. It’s very, very high. If the smell wasn’t too strong, Huo Huo wouldn’t have been able to smell it.”
Rolling his eyes, Huo Huo muttered, then gave a shake and began to enlarge. His scales shimmered with a faint silvery-white glow. In no time, a majestic nascent silver dragon, over ten meters long, landed at Su Jiu’s feet.
As Huo Huo transformed, Su Jiu could feel some scarlet gazes directed at her. However, these were just monsters nesting in the ancient trees. When they saw Huo Huo’s appearance, they only dared to look at Su Jiu and not do anything else.
Without any pause, Su Jiu stepped on Huo Huo’s back, lightly conjured an energy shield to protect herself, and then rushed straight into the sky, like a giant silver-white sword piercing through the incomparably vast giant’s arm. The branches and leaves were broken through.
After about a minute of impact, Huo Huo, like a fierce dragon emerging from the sea, soared up with a flip, as if stopping in the clouds, floating above the giant leaves. Without much thought, she could directly spot a huge cave entrance at the root of the treetops not far away.
“Come back first.”
Patting Huo Huo’s head, Su Jiu smiled and put him away. Her gaze fell on the cave entrance, then she supported herself with external energy and landed beside the tree root. With her hand, she conjured a flame, illuminating the entire cave entrance.
As the light illuminated the entire tree root, Su Jiu was slightly stunned as she looked at the tree wall opposite her. Then, she looked down and discovered a hidden world within. The entire giant tree root was hollow.
Looking into the bottomless hollow tree root, Su Jiu took a deep breath. Her body suddenly jumped from above the hole of the giant tree. Borrowing external energy to float, after an unknown period of time, her feet gently landed on a flat surface.
“This is that unicorn’s lair…”
As soon as her feet touched the ground, Su Jiu dispelled the flame. The light within was not as dim as she had imagined. On the surrounding tree walls, there were occasionally some purplish-black crystal blocks embedded.
These crystal blocks seemed to be formed by that black unicorn. Su Jiu could feel that these black and purple crystal blocks contained extremely pure energy, a different kind of energy from magic crystals. This was more like the thing Bai Zhi had soaked in a jar before.
Breakthrough Potion!
The tree cave was adorned with these purplish-black crystal blocks, giving it a unique charm. Su Jiu had no time to admire them. She grinned slightly and then pried off the purplish-black crystal blocks, thinking to herself:
“Little fool Bai Zhi should also be lacking some of these breakthrough items. If she had these things, she should be able to break through to the Battle King level quite easily, right?”
After prying them off, Su Jiu chuckled softly and proceeded into this place that looked like a maze. She passed through long cave passages, and after a while, two forks appeared before her.
Her brows twitched, and then she closed her eyes. Her mental power spread out from her as the center. After a moment, Su Jiu suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the right passage, with a hint of surprise in her eyes—
“There’s a life aura?”
Without thinking further, her figure turned into a black shadow and swept away. Soon, she found a pile of black, shimmering crystals that resembled squid roe piled into a small mountain. On top of this small mountain, an egg the size of a calf lay there. The entire egg was predominantly black, with gold stripes around it. The gold stripes looked incredibly noble.
“You were captured and brought here by that unicorn, weren’t you?… But it’s okay now, child, you are freed.”
Glancing at the egg, Su Jiu nodded slightly and asked to herself. Then she took two steps forward, wrapped it in her black cloak, and threw it directly into the storage ring.
This thing should be worth quite a bit. Someone could help identify it, but it doesn’t seem like the egg of this black unicorn. The egg actually has a holy light attribute, for goodness’ sake.
After a silence of about half a minute, Su Jiu’s gaze fell on the black small crystals. She could feel the Dark Erosion energy contained within this thing, so this should be it. Then, she followed the description in the novel and picked it up directly—and put it in her mouth.
“So sour… so hot, but it should be temporary.”
In just an instant, Su Jiu’s small face turned red, hot air furiously puffed out of her nostrils, and black external qi surged all over her body. She could feel her Dark Erosion attribute rapidly increasing. Then, she sat cross-legged, stuffing “snacks” while cultivating…
Time passed by, and a violent tremor came from outside. Her eyebrows trembled slightly, Su Jiu exhaled a puff of black smoke before slowly opening her eyes. She suddenly extended her right hand, and with a “hiss!” a ball of black and red flame ignited in her palm.
“Finally, the Dark Erosion attribute has also reached extraordinary level one.”
Looking at the black flame, a hint of relief appeared on her face. With this, she had a means to injure a High-Rank Battle King.
“You useless thing, you almost got caught by humans! If I didn’t see your talent, I wouldn’t have promoted you to a unicorn and had offspring with you…”
“An aura close to a High-Rank Battle King!”
Supporting herself with her hand, Su Jiu suddenly heard a huge roar, causing the entire tree hole to tremble violently. She was instantly startled and quickly summoned Huo Huo, leaning against the wooden wall and concealing herself with her mental power.
Soon, another neutral voice sounded, with a hint of grievance: “My lord, it’s not my fault. It’s those humans who are too hateful, coming to capture my clan.”
“You go and capture those people! I’m going to see what’s going on with the egg! My connection with the egg has been severed!” The roar was accompanied by footsteps, and then with a “boom!”, the ground vibrated slightly as a behemoth descended!
