Chapter 2363: Sea Luo Snake
This place, is actually an inland sea.
From a bird’s-eye view, the farthest end of this inland sea connects to the boundless ocean.
However, this body of water lies entirely inland.
It is only connected to the boundless ocean by a tiny waterway.
At this moment, it is precisely noon.
Near the inland sea, the sky was clear, and the scenery was very pleasant.
Of course, Zhou Yu had no mood to enjoy the scenery.
He was cautiously exploring this inland sea.
Based on his experience, the calmer the place, the more unimaginable dangers it harbors.
What’s more, they were now within the Ancient Realm.
Zhou Yu flew at a moderate speed over the inland sea.
He wanted to explore the entire inland sea to decide whether to help Duan Tian find the materials he needed.
However, after exploring for about half an hour, Zhou Yu’s expression shifted from calm to solemn.
Because, during this half hour, in such a vast inland sea, he didn’t sense a single trace of a Demon Beast.
What did this imply?
There’s no Demon Beast in this sea?
Absolutely impossible!
So, there’s only one possibility left.
This inland sea surely has a powerful Demon Beast with a strong sense of territory.
Realizing this, Zhou Yu immediately slowed his flight, his eyes continuously flickering with thought.
He initially came here hoping to easily acquire those materials, and if he could, he would.
But if there was danger, he would leave without hesitation.
However, although he felt something was amiss, he still hadn’t sensed any powerful Demon Beast presence.
Just as Zhou Yu hesitated.
Suddenly, at the limit of his eyesight, a giant island appeared.
Zhou Yu stared at that enormous island, and a trace of surprise appeared in his eyes.
He carefully recalled what Duan Tian had mentioned earlier.
The materials Duan Tian wanted seemed to be on an island within the inland sea.
Only, he wasn’t sure if this was the one.
Zhou Yu had planned to give up, but unexpectedly, he stumbled upon an island.
Given the circumstances, Zhou Yu immediately changed his mind and decided to land on the island and take a look.
Having made up his mind, Zhou Yu immediately activated his movement technique, transforming into a flash of lightning heading straight for the island.
In no time, Zhou Yu reached the island.
Before setting foot on the island, Zhou Yu’s Divine Sense had already covered the entire island.
Indeed, he found some special Spirit Wood on the island.
This Spirit Wood was unique to the Ancient Realm and happened to be the materials Duan Tian wanted.
Zhou Yu waved his hand, and a Blood Sword appeared.
It was the Blood Spirit Godslaying Sword, which Zhou Yu hadn’t used for a long time.
As Zhou Yu’s strength increased rapidly, this Blood Spirit Godslaying Sword, once his greatest trump card, hadn’t been used for a long time.
Because his opponents were too strong for the Blood Spirit Godslaying Sword to be much help.
But it was quite handy for collecting and chopping wood.
Zhou Yu immediately wielded the Blood Spirit Godslaying Sword, sweeping it towards the Spirit Wood not far in front of him.
However, at that moment, the previously calm sea around the island suddenly erupted, and a Water Dragon appeared out of thin air, attacking Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu’s expression changed slightly, then he immediately controlled the Blood Spirit Godslaying Sword to counterattack.
Bang!
Along with a muffled sound.
The Water Dragon was destroyed by the Blood Spirit Godslaying Sword.
In the destroyed Water Dragon, a smear of scarlet appeared.
Zhou Yu squinted, discovering a strange snake within the Water Dragon.
This strange snake was entirely cyan, but its eyes alone were an unusual blood-red.
Seeing this strange snake, a flash of puzzlement crossed Zhou Yu’s eyes.
This strange snake seemed familiar, but he couldn’t quite remember where he’d seen it before.
As Zhou Yu pondered.
The scarlet on the snake’s body suddenly spread quickly across the sea surface.
In a blink, the sea surface within a radius of several dozen miles turned entirely scarlet.
Before Zhou Yu could react, hundreds upon thousands of similar strange snakes shot up from beneath the scarlet sea surface.
All these strange snakes were glaring maliciously at Zhou Yu.
Just like ferocious wolves staring at their prey.
What shocked Zhou Yu the most was that as these strange snakes gathered, their scales uniformly turned scarlet.
Binding together, making the entire sea surface scarlet.
Truly eerie beyond compare.
At that moment, a spark of insight flashed in Zhou Yu’s mind.
"That’s it, this strange snake is called the Sea Luo Snake."
Previously, while in Black Cloud City, he had inadvertently seen a record of the Sea Luo Snake in an ancient text.
If Zhou Yu remembered correctly, the Sea Luo Snake’s entire body was filled with venom.
This venom, even a Divinity Transformation cultivator hit by it, would likely not escape death.
And for those in the Void Refinement Realm, though not fatal, it was frightening enough to be feared.
Logically, such a terrifying Demon Beast would be avoided by most cultivators.
But, the reality was the opposite.
Every year, numerous cultivators attempted to capture these Sea Luo Snakes, even though most would return empty-handed.
Moreover, at least a thousand Divinity Transformation Realm cultivators have lost their lives trying to capture the Sea Luo Snake.
Nevertheless, people were consistently undeterred.
The reason was simple, the Sea Luo Snake’s gallbladder is an exceptionally rare material.
Additionally, the Sea Luo Snake’s gallbladder is an ideal Pill Medicine material for engendering Demon Beasts and Spiritual Insects.
However, the Sea Luo Snake had been extinct in the Heavenly Origin World for at least a million years.
Yet unexpectedly, they still existed in this Ancient Realm.
Now, Zhou Yu finally knew why this inland sea was so quiet.
It seemed this place should belong to the Sea Luo Snakes.
Of course, these matters were what Zhou Yu read about in ancient texts.
The ancient texts described them as highly venomous.
But to know the true extent of the venom, it still needed testing.
He had the Brahma Heaven Demon Body, and ordinary poison would not affect him.
Zhou Yu immediately waved his hand.
He unleashed a torrent of Demonic Qi around him, forming a black armor in an instant.
This was the Four Ding Yuan Armor Technique.
Then Zhou Yu activated the Divine Soul Firebird, releasing the Primordial Spirit True Fire around him.
Flames have always been the bane of venom.
With the Primordial Spirit True Fire, his defense reached a new level.
After fortifying his defenses, Zhou Yu’s gaze turned icy.
He pointed his hands repeatedly, and countless Thunder Light flickered into existence.
The Heavenly Punishment Thunder Array was set up by Zhou Yu.
Upon finishing all these preparations.
The scarlet sea surface in the distance also began to move.
A scarlet wave surged, sweeping towards Zhou Yu.
The scarlet wave was filled with Sea Luo Snakes.
At least a thousand of them.
With unstoppable momentum, they surged within one hundred feet of Zhou Yu in an instant...
