Chapter 241 - Chapter 241: Chapter 234: Getting the Bee Eggs 1 (2/2)
Qin Niu checked and found that the Diamond Ink Turtle’s water control ability had indeed advanced to the second order.
“I was originally planning to keep you here longer to serve as a sparring partner for my pet, but now that I’ve got my hands on the Green Demon Bee’s egg, 1 won’t let you remain in the world of the living.”
Qin Niu quickly approached the Blood Pool and fiercely chopped down at the blood figure over ten feet tall.
Critical Chop!
The Blade Qi instantly became several times stronger, ferociously striking the blood figure.
Just one chop was enough to cause it to collapse.
The Green Demon was indeed down on its luck, being perfectly countered by Qin Niu’s Ink Blade.
Its duplicate was useless; the blood figure it condensed couldn’t leave the Blood Pool.
With that chop, it let out a sharp and miserable scream before falling silent.
Flowever, Qin Niu dared not let his guard down.
The Green Demon was incredibly cunning; it wouldn’t die that easily.
What Qin Niu cared about most was the bee egg.
If it truly was a Green Demon Bee’s egg, just hatching it would give him a freakishly strong Green Demon Bee.
Fie could even make it lay eggs and establish his own bee swarm, just like the Ant Queen had.
An egg that the Green Demon valued so highly couldn’t be an ordinary bee egg.
The Blood Pool slowly returned to calm.
The entire space became deathly still.
Qin Niu was in no hurry to leave because he was certain the Green Demon was not yet dead.
In this situation, any mistake could allow the Green Demon to strike again, seizing the chance to take his life.
“Green Demon, you’ve nurtured this bee egg inside your body; it must be very important to you, huh? Tsk tsk, I’ve never seen such an egg that flashes with green sparks before. Such a high-grade bee egg; if 1 were to form a contract with it, it would certainly be a beautiful thing in this world.”
Qin Niu deliberately provoked the Green Demon with his words.
Still no response.
Fie wasn’t in a rush, wielding the Ink Blade in his hand, which burst forth with a brilliant Blade Qi.
Using the bright light emitted by the Blade Qi, he then explored the entire space.
Just as the Green Demon had said, there were no other exits.
The opening that had sucked him in was above his head, about twenty feet off the ground.
There was a peculiar vortex there, exerting a strong force, preventing the water from escaping down.
One had to marvel at nature’s wonders, capable of creating such extraordinary spectacles.
To get out, it seemed piercing through that vortex might be the way to leave.
But it wasn’t going to be easy.
Furthermore, right below the vortex was the Blood Pool; if he fell in, he would likely be playing right into the Green Demon’s hands.
I’ve got no choice but to take the risk.”
After surveying the entire space, Qin Niu decided to risk escaping through the vortex.
It was a pity he had only come in wearing a pair of shorts, carrying two Insect Jars, and nothing else.
If he had a Contractual Talisman with him, he might’ve been able to form a contract with the bee egg on the spot and further provoke the Green Demon.
The Green Demon was obviously feigning death and hiding within the Blood Pool, unwilling to come out.
For Qin Niu to enter the Blood Pool would be a death wish.
The blood within the Blood Pool felt extremely dangerous, obviously not something benign.
Under such circumstances, the only way out was to escape through the same spot where he was sucked in.
Fie ran forward with borrowed momentum and, upon reaching the edge of the Blood Pool, leapt powerfully into the air.
Misty Rain Traceless Step was unleashed, his figure soaring into the sky.
Below the vortex, he swung his blade in a chop.
Fie hoped to carve out a path, then make his escape.
Unfortunately, he failed.
Flis body fell downward.
At this moment, without any reaction, he’d likely drop directly into the Blood Pool.
A thought flickered in his mind; it might be better to go along with the trick.
■Struggling desperately,’ his body continued to fall toward the Blood Pool.
Just as his body was about to touch the surface, about three feet above the Blood Pool, the blood water suddenly revealed a ghastly face, opening a gaping maw.
“Fleh heh, I knew you were playing dead, you old demon.”
Qin Niu had been waiting for this moment.
The Ink Blade in his hand chopped down mercilessly.
The Slash Martial Skill activated with an Explosive Slash Effect.
The Ink Blade had now evolved a spirit, with a Talisman containing universal laws engraved within the blade itself.
Perhaps calling it a Talisman of the Great Dao was a bit of an exaggeration.
At the very least, it was a Talisman that aligned with the universal laws, one that the Ink Blade had evolved on its own.
Qin Niu’s cultivation had also reached the Innate Realm, and using the blade to execute Slash Martial Skills was like adding wings to a tiger.
Not every chop would produce an Explosive Slash Effect, but at least three out of ten would.
Bang!
The terrifying Blade Qi struck the bloody face within the Blood Pool, easily Rupturing it in two.
Then, continuing with an unyielding force, it Ruptured the entire Blood Pool’s water.
“Aah…”
From the Blood Pool came the Green Demon’s screams of fear and pain.
That chop had cost the Green Demon dearly.
On the contrary, the previous chop that had dished the blood-derived humanoid monster hadn’t likely hurt the Green Demon much.
Or at least, not seriously.
Even the cunning Green Demon hadn’t anticipated the last chop.
It was indeed a huge risk for Qin Niu.
Using the force of the chop, he twisted his body and successfully stood on the edge of the Blood Pool.
I’ll see if you’re really dead..
