Chapter 111: Scaled Demon Tribe (1/2)

After the sword cultivator clone separated from the Scripture Storage Valley's group, he first took out the map and confirmed the direction before traveling on the flying sword.

His goal was clear. After a night of sleep, his energy was restored. After flying for a few days, he arrived at the region where mortals like himself had gone on a journey to seek immortality.

He even recognized the location where the Immortal Ascension Pavilion's convoy was stationed when they were attacked by the Scaled Demons!

Continuing forward, he quickly found a river. After flying for a long time, a place resembling the Redwood Forest Swamp appeared ahead.

It was currently nighttime. The bright moonlight shone down, penetrating the layers of green leaves in the forest. Finally, only a small amount of light shone on the water surface, forming several spots of light.

The flying sword retracted the flames and gradually lowered its height. Jiang Li controlled the sword cultivator clone to quickly enter the treetop silently. He stepped on the flying sword and agilely shuttled through the forest.

In this kind of swamp terrain, the air quality was not much better, and everywhere was filled with an unpleasant stench of decay.

However, as Jiang Li moved forward, a faint stench entered his nose. The indescribable smell gave him a familiar feeling.

His main body was thousands of miles away. He touched the scar that had long disappeared on his shoulder and recalled a creature that looked like a human girl regardless of whether it was male or female.

Scaled Demon!

This time, Jiang Li had two main reasons for letting out his sword cultivator clone.

First, he would try to return to the Shu Mountain Five Elements Peak and secretly learn the cultivation method manuals of the number one sect in the Great Mountain Region.

Second, he would continue to investigate the matter of the spiritual root seed and attempt to expose this plot as a Shu Mountain disciple.

After all, the betrayal of Elder Duan Shuang had already indicated that the spiritual root seed could control high-level cultivators. Then, there was very likely an extremely terrifying puppet network hidden behind this matter.

If his main body was exposed, he might be rewarded by the sect and be in the limelight. However, at the same time, he might also face the threat of the parasitic cultivators hidden behind the scenes.

The enemy was likely stronger than him and hidden in the dark. A backhanded sneak attack could end his transmigration life.

So, after thinking about it, Jiang Li temporarily gave up on the intention of letting his main body take the risk. The gains simply did not make up for the losses.

The sword cultivator clone's destination was the white-haired Scaled Demon tribe that year.

Through Yan Hong's connection with the Immortal Ascension Hall, he successfully obtained information about the location of the Scaled Demon Tribe.

At that time, the way that the Scaled Demon spat out the spiritual root seed was different from all the cultivators Jiang Li had seen later on.

Although its hair had turned white, it was not unconscious or on the verge of death. It could still survive for a long time!

Moreover, when a group of Scaled Demons attacked the campsite at that time, besides rescuing their own kind, Jiang Li felt that they mostly wanted to retrieve the spiritual root seed. This meant that this Scaled Demon tribe might very well know some secrets about the spiritual root seed.

At this moment, Jiang Li suddenly lowered his foot and raised it up, causing the tip of the flying sword under his foot to be raised up. It looked like a technical action resembling a skating board maneuver as he suddenly stopped.

In front of him stood several clay spears planted in the ground. The spears were crudely made from sharp wooden sticks, but on the spears, they pierced through the air as if through a gourd, each having seven or eight heads!

In fact, the top few heads were still relatively fresh. The remaining flesh and blood had not rotted completely.

He stood on his flying sword and frowned as he stared at the wooden spears!

”The guts of these vile animals… how dare they!”

They treated the heads of humans as decorations and stuck them near their territory to showcase the strength and honor of their tribe. This kind of behavior instantly infuriated Jiang Li.

They really were not of the same race! When Jiang Li was still a mortal back then, he even felt some pity when he saw those captured Scaled Demons.

Now, it seemed that he was really too naive and innocent.

Previously, he had thought that their young girl's appearance was beautiful, so it was a pity to kill her directly.

However, after thinking about it, the Scaled Demon's disguise as a beautiful human girl was clearly meant for capturing humans.

These creatures that looked like young girls mainly ate humans as their diet.

If not for the presence of a large number of human cultivators, who often slain demons and devils, limiting the range of activity of these other dangerous races, humanity would be in deep trouble already.
