Chapter 851: Poisonous Corpse at the Lake Bottom (2/2)
“Perhaps my Bonebrute puppet can approach and benefit from that Fiend corpse, when other living beings can’t.”
SHEW!
The enormous Bone Blood Demon answered Nie Tian’s summons and flew out of his ring of holding. Like a mountain, it crashed into the lake and started sinking.
All of the Water Moon Sect disciples gasped with astonishment upon seeing that scene.
Disdain instantly faded from the faces of those Worldly realm and Profound realm Qi warriors, with awe taking its place.
“That’s a Bonebrute!”
“A Bonebrute that’s been turned into a puppet!”
“Such an enormous Bonebrute! He must have been at a high grade when he was alive!”
Even Xie Wanting, who had been moaning over her brother’s probable death, snapped back to reality upon sensing the Bone Blood Demon’s appearance.
She flew back to Nie Tian and the girls’ air-transportation spiritual tool and asked with a puzzled expression, “Did you find anything?”
“There’s a dead Fiend with an unknown grade at the lake bottom.” Nie Tian didn’t hide the truth from her. “And that’s the reason why this lake contains deadly toxins. Since that extremely toxic corpse will do you no good, I’m going to collect it. As for the weeds that are growing at the lake bottom, I’ll leave them all to you.”
Xie Wanting was instantly enlightened. “So it’s a dead Fiend!”
She had come to a similar theory before, but hadn’t been able to confirm it since she had failed to see through the complete darkness in the depths of the lake with her soul awareness.
Besides, even though they had learned what lay at the lake bottom, they hadn’t found a way to fish it out.
Therefore, it was acceptable to them if Nie Tian was going to take the dead Fiend, which they had no use for, and leave the water-attributed weeds for them.
She nodded slightly with anticipation in her heart. “Good luck.”
The Bone Blood Demon’s enormous body soon vanished from everyone’s sight and sank to the bottom of the lake.
The Water Moon Sect disciples scattered on the lakeside couldn’t see what was happening at the lake bottom.
Only Nie Tian was able to see that the Bone Blood Demon swam to the dead Fiend, where it activated the Blood Sect’s Blood Refining Technique without hesitation to channel the residual flesh power from the corpse, along with the aura of death it had generated over the years.
Normally speaking, since Fiends’ flesh power contained deadly toxins, almost no living creatures, including spiritual beasts, would devour their corpses.
The Bone Blood Demon, however, was a unique existence. Since it had an innate strong resistance against toxins and had been vested with Blood Sect’s secret magics, it was able to channel flesh power into itself without being harmed.
The Bone Blood Demon, which had lost a significant amount of death power to Pergson’s Bone Shatterer, gradually recovered its strength as it continued to absorb the residual power of the Fiend expert, who had been dead for an unknown amount of years.
As it did, the dark green lake started to grow clear, as if it was being purged.
A hint of delight flashed across Xie Wanting’s eyes.
Time flew as the Bone Blood Demon continued to refine the Fiend corpse and build up its strength, and the lake continued to grow clearer and clearer.
Soon, two days passed, and the Bone Blood Demon was still working on the Fiend corpse.
By relying on the soul connection between him and the Bone Blood Demon, Nie Tian could tell that its battle prowess was soaring.
He even suspected that the Fiend’s grade from when it had been alive might be higher than the eighth grade. Otherwise, it shouldn’t take the Bone Blood Demon so long to drain it of its residual power.
Another day went by when Xie Yunhai suddenly appeared, covered in blood.
He was taken to the lakeside by Lu Yunfei. Limp and feeble, he slumped into the corner of their air-transportation spiritual tool.
However, his eyes lit up as he saw Nie Tian and the girls. “I can’t believe you’re here!”
