Chapter 938
, Second Protector
Xuanwu roared and tore the attacker to shreds.
Su Mu sat on the deck, a wine flask suddenly appearing in his hand.
He calmly drank his wine, and with a casual wave of his hand, he summoned the corpses that had been torn to shreds by Xuanwu into his hands.
Enveloped in a ball of fire, the creature's corpse had been refined into a lump of crimson gold.
"Xuanwu, be careful next time you make a move. Don't break it into so many pieces. You're wasting such good refining materials."
Su Mu spoke up.
Xuanwu frowned, looked at Su Mu, and couldn't help but say.
"You deliberately threw me out just now, didn't you?"
"That can't be."
Su Mu shook his head and denied it, saying, "We are all in the same boat now, we are all in the same boat, how could I do such a thing?"
This guy suddenly attacked me; I didn't have time to react.
Xuanwu frowned, his face full of suspicion.
It still suspected that Su Mu did it on purpose, but it had no evidence.
It still has to travel with the Shetland Sheepdog; it's not the time to turn against it yet.
"Hmph, you better be so. If I find out you're trying to harm me, I'll never forgive you!"
Xuanwu said coldly.
Su Mu shrugged, looking completely nonchalant, and even casually tossed the wine jug to Xuanwu.
Xuanwu shrunk its body and returned to the deck of the sand boat.
It took a swig of wine from the flask, its four eyes lit up, then let out a satisfied burp and lazily lay down.
Su Mu couldn't help but chuckle at the sight.
He channeled his power and continued to steer the sand barge forward.
The rustling sound echoed in the air.
The sandboat sped forward at breakneck speed.
A few moments later, they had already flown hundreds of miles away.
suddenly.
Su Mu spotted the figure of Black Dragon Ao Kun.
The black dragon Ao Kun was lying on the ground, its body mostly buried by yellow sand, with only half of its head exposed.
If he had arrived half a day later, Black Dragon Ao Kun would probably have been completely buried by the yellow sand, and it would have been difficult for him to find Black Dragon Ao Kun then.
Seeing this scene, Su Mu's heart sank.
Could Black Dragon Ao Kun be dead?
If this weren't the homeland of Black Dragon Ao Kun, he might have truly perished due to the loss of his power.
Su Mu wasn't sure if this was the hometown of Black Dragon Ao Kun and Xuanxuan Shangren. If Black Dragon Ao Kun really died, he would mourn for him for three breaths.
This time, instead of throwing Xuanwu away, he left the sand boat himself and flew straight above the black dragon Ao Kun.
With a flick of his sleeve, a fierce wind arose instantly, whipping up the sandstorm.
At this moment, Su Mu noticed that the black dragon Ao Kun's abdomen was still rising and falling slightly.
He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Black Dragon Ao Kun is still alive!
He fell from the sky and flicked his fingers repeatedly.
Several pills had already flown into the half-open mouth of the black dragon Ao Kun.
Upon consuming the elixir, the black dragon Ao Kun coughed violently.
The next moment, it suddenly opened its eyes, a fierce glint flashing in them.
call!
Black Dragon Ao Kun took a deep breath, and the power of heaven and earth surged wildly into its body.
It can actually absorb the energy of heaven and earth here!
Su Mu's heart stirred slightly.
Could it be that he really stumbled upon the hometown of Master Xuanxuan and Black Dragon Ao Kun by sheer accident?
Otherwise, why would the Black Dragon Ao Kun be able to absorb the energy here?
That being said, Black Dragon Ao Kun cannot cultivate in their universe; his power will only continue to dissipate.
Why didn't I feel anything unusual after I came here?
Su Mu slowly circulated the power within his body, without feeling any loss of power.
Not only did he not lose his power here, but he also felt that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here was even more abundant. With each breath, his strength even slowly increased.
The concentration of spiritual energy here far exceeds that of his own universe.
If these two universes could be connected, wouldn't the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here flow to his universe?
As Su Mu breathed in and out with the black dragon Ao Kun, a huge vortex appeared in the sky.
It absorbed all the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of a hundred miles.
Then this area spread outwards, two hundred miles, three hundred miles...
As the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of a thousand miles was completely absorbed by the Black Dragon Ao Kun, the Black Dragon Ao Kun's cultivation level began to increase at a visible speed.
No, it's not an improvement, it's a recovery.
From the initial stage of the Dao Saint Realm, to the intermediate stage, and then to the advanced stage.
In just a short while, the Black Dragon Ao Kun had recovered to the perfect Dao Saint realm, similar to Su Mu's current strength.
Xuanwu also stared wide-eyed at this scene.
It is also the cultivation level of the Dao Saint Realm at its peak.
Originally, the Black Dragon Ao Kun was much weaker than it, but in just a short while, the Black Dragon Ao Kun actually caught up with it.
Is the spiritual energy here really that effective?
Xuanwu tentatively absorbed a wisp of spiritual energy from heaven and earth.
The next moment, its face turned deathly pale.
After the spiritual energy of heaven and earth entered its body, it automatically collided with and annihilated the power within its body.
Xuanwu looked thoughtful, and after a moment it understood what was going on, its expression turning very ugly.
These abyssal creatures are born from the turbid energy of heaven and earth.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is the pure and light energy between heaven and earth.
Heavy and turbid, light and clear, are inherently opposites.
This place is not suitable for abyssal creatures to live in!
Xuanwu made his own judgment, his face filled with indignation.
Why should abyssal creatures be confined to dark and gloomy places?
Only by consuming more flesh and blood will their life essence change, allowing them to go wherever they want and do as they please!
Xuanwu couldn't help but steal a glance at Su Mu.
If it can devour Su Mu, its flesh and blood will surely be transformed.
At that time, it will not only no longer have to live in the heavy and turbid air, but it may also have a chance to break through to the Dao Ancestor Realm.
Its four eyes darted around, and it couldn't help but start scheming.
Su Mu couldn't help but chuckle as he watched the abyssal creature ponder.
Xuanwu's four eyes darted around, and he knew what the other party was up to without even thinking.
If they were in the abyss, Su Mu would still be somewhat wary of Xuanwu.
After all, Xuanwu still has countless abyssal creatures under his command. If a real battle were to break out, even he might not be able to escape unscathed.
But now.
We've all fallen to this point, all alone, so what's there to be afraid of?
If Xuanwu really doesn't behave, Su Mu has a million ways to make Xuanwu wish he were dead.
Despite Xuanwu's considerable cultivation, its strength is truly insufficient for Su Mu to control it.
No sooner said than done.
Black Dragon Ao Kun took deep breaths and restored his cultivation to the peak of the Dao Saint Realm. At this moment, the area within a thousand miles had been turned into a vacuum by him.
Roars echoed from afar, and the black dragon Ao Kun finally stopped moving.
"Who is preventing me from recovering?"
Black Dragon Ao Kun opened his eyes, his fierceness undisguised.
It said viciously.
Su Mu chuckled to himself.
Unexpectedly, the first words that Black Dragon Ao Kun uttered upon opening his eyes were like this.
"Hey Ao Kun, you've recovered?"
Su Mu spoke slowly.
It was only then that the black dragon Ao Kun noticed Su Mu standing in front of it.
"Recovery is still a long way off. It won't take a hundred years for them to recover to the Dao Ancestor Realm."
Black Dragon Ao Kun said, "Su Mu, thank you."
It spoke to Su Mu for the first time with a serious expression.
Su Mu smiled slightly, "Is this really your hometown?"
I was worried that I had gone to the wrong place.
To be honest, I'm not sure if this is definitely your hometown.
"This is definitely not the place."
Black Dragon Ao Kun shook his head and said, "However, the environment here is similar to ours. Here, my power will no longer be lost."
Anyway, I've saved my life, so I guess I owe you one.
As for the way home, we can find it slowly now.
Heilong Aokun is no longer in a hurry.
The reason it was in such a hurry was because it could die at any moment.
Now, since the lifespan of a Dao Saint Realm cultivator is already quite long, it has plenty of time to slowly find its way back.
Besides, the environment here is similar to its hometown, so its cultivation level will not continue to decline, but rather there is hope that it will recover.
Once it recovers to the Dao Ancestor Realm, it will be truly immortal and possess an incomparably long lifespan.
As long as its lifespan is not exhausted, it can slowly find its way home, without any rush.
Black Dragon Ao Kun was no longer in a hurry.
Su Mu frowned.
If this isn't Heilong Aokun's hometown, then where is this place?
"Ao Kun, do you know where this place is?"
Su Mu asked in a deep voice.
Black Dragon Ao Kun has been saved, but he's now fallen into a pit.
Originally, it was only Black Dragon Ao Kun who wanted to go home, but now there is another person who needs to go home.
As for Xuanwu, it was not even within Su Mu's consideration.
"I know."
Su Mu assumed that the black dragon Ao Kun didn't know either, but to his surprise, Ao Kun spoke up. "You know?"
He said, somewhat surprised.
It was just a casual question, but I never expected that Black Dragon Ao Kun would actually know.
"Do you remember when I said that if you took me home, I would tell you a big secret about Xuanxuan?"
Black Dragon Ao Kun replied irrelevantly.
"You mean, this place is related to Master Xuanxuan?"
Su Mu's expression hardened, and he said in a deep voice.
"That's right, this is Xuanxuan's backyard!"
Black Dragon Ao Kun sneered, "This is what I want to tell you. That bastard Xuanxuan built himself a back garden and hid all his treasures in it."
Hehe, I didn't expect we'd be so lucky to find this place.
"Su Mu, let me tell you, let's loot this place clean, then we'll be rich!"
"The treasure trove of Master Xuanxuan?"
Su Mu looked surprised.
Ordinary people either carry treasures with them or build a cave to hide them.
Master Xuanxuan is so generous, treating this whole world as a treasure trove?
Su Mu glanced at the black dragon Ao Kun with a strange expression.
If even the Black Dragon Ao Kun knows this, then the secret is probably no longer a secret.
Could someone who was tricked into leaving his home and nearly died in his own universe possibly discover the secrets of the Mysterious Master?
Black Dragon Ao Kun was completely manipulated by Master Xuanxuan, so it would be strange if it could discover Master Xuanxuan's secrets.
Su Mu guessed that, most likely, this was a place that Master Xuanxuan had deliberately let Black Dragon Ao Kun know about.
Heilong Aokun was still very pleased with himself.
This guy is a classic example of someone who gets sold out and then helps the seller count the money.
Su Mu couldn't help but chuckle to himself.
To be honest, wasn't Black Dragon Ao Kun also manipulated by him?
Even now, Ao Kun, the Black Dragon, doesn't know that he has no way to send it home.
Fortunately, by sheer luck, Su Mu managed to save the life of the black dragon Ao Kun.
Have you been here before?
Su Mu pondered for a moment and asked.
"I've been here."
Heilong Aokun said with certainty, "Xuanxuan took me to your place by passing through here."
Su Mu became even more certain that Black Dragon Ao Kun had most likely been deceived by Master Xuanxuan again.
Master Xuanxuan brought it here on purpose.
However, Su Mu is not sure what Master Xuanxuan's purpose is.
"Since this is the place where Master Xuanxuan hides his treasures, didn't Master Xuanxuan arrange any guards here?"
Su Mu asked in a deep voice.
"I am very sure of that."
Black Dragon Ao Kun nodded and said, "I saw the Twelve Protectors when I came here last time."
They were just twelve Dao Saints at the peak of their cultivation; their strength was only average.
Su Mu's face darkened.
Twelve Dao Saints at the peak of the Dao Saint realm, their strength is just average?
Have you forgotten your current level of cultivation?
You still think you're that powerful Dao Ancestor realm expert from before?
You've only just recovered to the peak of the Dao Saint realm.
With twelve Dao Saints at the peak of their cultivation, killing you would be no problem at all.
"There are twelve Dao Saints at the peak of their realm, and countless other powerful figures. This is not a place to hide treasures; it's a den of dragons and tigers."
Su Mu sighed, "I wonder if those Dao Saints at the peak of their realm would believe me if I said we were just passing through."
Before Su Mu could finish speaking, an aura shot into the sky from the front.
That aura was extremely powerful; it was clearly the guardian that Black Dragon Ao Kun had mentioned.
The moment that aura appeared, it approached at an extremely fast speed.
First, Xuanwu killed the sand worm, and then the black dragon Ao Kun recovered his cultivation here.
It would be strange if these guardians hadn't noticed such a commotion.
It was already beyond Su Mu's expectations that only one protector had come.
He turned his head to look at the black dragon Ao Kun, and then at the Xuanwu lying there lazily.
If only one protector at the peak of the Dao Saint realm were to come, the three of them working together might be able to ensure that the enemy would not return.
However, once action is taken, there will be no room for reconciliation.
Twelve Dao Saints at the peak of their cultivation were not someone the three of them could easily deal with.
Moreover, both Black Dragon Ao Kun and Xuanwu are the type who are strong but brainless. The real fear is that if they get into a fight, they won't be able to control each other.
“Ao Kun, Xuanwu, when that protector arrives, you two should not make a move yet. Let me communicate with him first.”
"You two, follow my instructions."
Su Mu said in a deep voice.
Why should I listen to you?
Xuanwu shook its snake head and muttered something.
"Are you looking for a beating?"
Black Dragon Ao Kun glanced at it and sneered, "If you dare disobey, believe me or not, I'll kill you?"
Su Mu saved my life. Just do whatever he tells you to do. Why all the nonsense?
Black Dragon Ao Kun looked around, his face beaming with pride.
"You didn't bring any of your men with you. The two of us could kill you in no time!"
Xuanwu rolled his eyes and remained silent.
A wise man doesn't suffer a loss he can avoid.
I'll tolerate it now that there are more of you.
You just wait.
Sooner or later, I will devour both of you!
Xuanwu thought to himself.
As they spoke, that powerful aura had already flown to their front.
The newcomer was humanoid, but had a rooster's head on its neck, with a pointed beak and a bright red golden crown on its head.
His eyes shone brightly.
It looked at Su Mu and his two companions from below the mountain, and its gaze finally landed on the black dragon Ao Kun.
"Are you Ao Kun?"
The chicken-headed man opened and closed his pointed mouth, uttering a sound.
"It's enough that you recognize me."
"Black Dragon Ao Kun spoke up."
"Cough cough."
Upon hearing that Heilong Aokun was about to improvise, Su Mu quickly coughed twice.
Black Dragon Ao Kun then realized what was happening.
It wouldn't pay attention to anyone else.
But since Su Mu had just saved its life, it still had to give Su Mu some face.
Moreover, Black Dragon Ao Kun now has great faith in Su Mu's abilities.
Aside from Master Xuanxuan, Su Mu was the most capable person that Black Dragon Ao Kun had ever seen.
“Hey you, this is Su Mu, my brother.”
Black Dragon Ao Kun pointed at Su Mu and said, "He has something to say to you now, so you all better show him some respect, or I won't let you off the hook."
The chicken protector frowned, but it assumed that the black dragon Ao Kun was still at the Dao Ancestor Realm, so it didn't say anything and instead looked at Su Mu.
"Su Mu? I've never heard of that name before. What brings you here?"
As it spoke, it shook its head repeatedly, looking around, and finally spotted the sand barge, a sharp glint flashing in its eyes.
It recognized that it was made from the corpse of a sandworm.
Sandworms are the monsters they raise.
You have to consider the owner before you beat a dog. If the other party comes to your door and immediately kills the sandworms they are raising, isn't that a provocation?
If it weren't for its fear of the Black Dragon Ao Kun's strength, it would have already spoken out in anger.
Su Mu's eyes were sharp, and he naturally noticed the change in the other party's expression.
He couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
At his peak, Black Dragon Ao Kun was quite a figure; he was able to intimidate these guardians.
"I am just a nobody."
Su Mu said calmly, "We are just passing through this place today."
These sandworms have offended us, and we have only taken action to protect ourselves.
"This chicken protector, we mean you no harm, so you don't need to be nervous."
"Just passing by?"
The chicken protector sneered, "No one would believe that even a three-year-old."
This isn't a major thoroughfare, so why would anyone pass by here?
You're here for that matter, aren't you?
Its tone was sarcastic, and its face was full of vigilance.
That matter?
Su Mu's heart skipped a beat. Were there really other secrets here?
"I have no reason to lie."
Su Mu shook his head and said, "To put it bluntly, you are not qualified to make me lie."
I was just passing through and had no interest in anything else.
If you don't believe me, you can personally escort us out of here.
Su Mu said seriously, "If you send us away, you won't have to worry about us doing anything."
Are you kidding me?
The Chicken Protector's face darkened. "How could I possibly have the ability to send you away?"
You're saying this on purpose because you're certain I don't have the ability, aren't you? (End of Chapter)
