Chapter 48: Frosty Skin and Jade Bones
It's no wonder that the Blood Raven of the Netherworld is said to have a deadly sonic scream. When it saw Zhao Zhuo fall to the ground, the Blood Raven moved again, bringing up another gust of wind to pounce on Zhao Zhuo. If it succeeded, I believe Zhao Zhuo would have died at the hands of the Blood Raven before he could even be killed by the Nine-Sectioned Python's strange poison.
"You're pushing me too far! Since you won't let me die, don't blame me then!"
Zhao Duo's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he spat out a mouthful of bright red hot blood. Instantly, his pale face showed an abnormal flush, clearly having forcibly used some secret technique.
"Northern Dark Breath Technique!"
Only to see that a mouthful of essence blood floated in front of Zhao Zhuo, twisted and turned, suddenly forming a mysterious symbol emitting an aura of mystery. Seeing the symbol, a hint of joy appeared in Zhao Zhuo's eyes, and his mouth uttered a sound like the great Dao's mysterious tone.
"My blood is dark and yellow, the North Ming spits out its breath, pulling the heavenly circle, destroying the divine thunder. Hiss!"
In an instant, Zhao Zhuo only felt the small space around him tremble, a divine thunderbolt radiating brilliant heavenly power descended from the sky and silently landed on You Ming's body.
"Quack!"
Youming Blood Crow only had time to let out a sharp cry, a black smoke rose up, Youming Blood Crow disappeared, and a blood-red Yuan Dan fell in front of Zhao Suo.
As he watched the dark and mysterious Blood Crow die under the secret technique, Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but let out a long breath, while secretly shocking in his heart. The ancient secret technique recorded in the Northern Ming's Devouring Heaven and Earth Secret Record was indeed powerful and fierce, although it hurt both oneself and others, but at critical moments it was the key to survival.
These mysterious skills almost all directly shook the laws of heaven and earth in a profound way, mobilizing the power of the laws to harm enemies, with their powerful might even surpassing some divine abilities.
However, displaying the secret technique is not without cost. At least Zhao Zhuang will be severely injured for a period of time. If he doesn't take good care of himself, there's a great risk of shaking his foundation.
Feeling the pure yuanqi in the Jingyuan Dan transformed from the blood raven's death, Zhao Cheng stretched out his hand to retrieve it. His magic slowly circulated, gradually suppressing the strange poison throughout his body. Shaking and swaying, he stood up, looked around to get his bearings, and then continued following the trail left by the Nine-Sectioned Python.
Perhaps there weren't that many powerful Bone Beasts in this forest, or perhaps Zhao was just lucky. Along the way, no more powerful Bone Beasts appeared, and even if they did, they were easily crushed by Zhao into a pile of shattered bones, not even able to form a Yuan Dan.
When standing in front of a vast expanse of white bones, Zhao Zhuo was stunned and stared at the huge pit in front of him. The pit covered an area of several thousand square meters and was dozens of meters deep. The bottom of the pit was filled with white bones, and large and small nine-section pythons made entirely of white bones were moving around in the pit.
He took a deep breath of cool air and involuntarily retreated several steps back, the scene in front of him left Zhao Zhuo utterly astonished.
Only a faint, gray mist floated above the large pit, which was undoubtedly the Nine-Sectioned Python's poisonous gas. What was astonishing was that the mist didn't seem to be spreading beyond the range of the pit at all.
Zhao Zhuo's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously swung his arm fiercely, sending a gust of wind towards the fog in the air. Suddenly, the originally calm fog began to churn up, as if it were boiling water. If that was all, the churning fog would have been nothing out of the ordinary, but when it reached the edge of the large pit, it seemed to be blocked by an invisible force, and not a single thread of it spread out.
"It's interesting, as expected. Where there are nine-sectioned pythons, there will be antidotes 90% of the time. It's just that the python's venom can't spread far, and it seems that the spiritual medicine that can cure the nine-sectioned python's poison is born around here."
Thinking of this, Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but secretly rejoice. Even Bai Jing thought that he had contracted the Nine-Sectioned Python's strange poison and was unlikely to survive, yet Zhao Zhuo didn't believe it.
After taking enormous risks and almost losing his life to the mysterious Blood Crow, Zhao Zhuo finally found the nest of the Nine-Sectioned Python.
Zhao Duo carefully observed every existence around the big pit, because perhaps an inconspicuous existence could eliminate the nine-sectioned python's strange poison in his body.
This large pit seems to be naturally generated, with sparse growth of wild grasses around it, and there is no extraordinary spiritual medicine present.
Suddenly, a bright green light appeared in Zhao Zhuo's eyes. Following the green light, he saw a weak and strange plant that seemed to be blown down by a gust of wind, struggling to emerge from a clump of wild grass. If one didn't look carefully, they wouldn't have noticed that such a strange plant was growing among the dull grayish clump of grass.
His eyes lit up, Zhao Xiao strongly suppressed the excitement in his heart and slowly walked to the front of the grass, trembling with his hands slowly opening that clump of wild grass. A faint, refreshing fragrance wafted over, and when Zhao Xiao smelled the fragrance, he suddenly felt the Nine-Section Python's poison stirring within him.
As if stimulated by something, the originally suppressed Nine-Sectioned Python's poison rapidly spread throughout Zhao Xiao's body, its speed far surpassing before.
It was as if there were tens of millions of ants crawling inside his body, that strange and unbearable itchiness, the pain that pierced through his heart almost made Zhao Zhuo collapse on the spot.
Zhao Duo fell to the ground with a thud, letting out a pained cry as his body convulsed. His skeletal system was slowly fracturing segment by segment under the effects of the Nine-Sectioned Python's venom.
"Ah, damn it, isn't this the poison that catalyzes the Nine-Sectioned Python's strange toxin?!"
Zhao Duo grasped the emerald green plant in his hand, his eyes turned red, and as he held it, the fragrance suddenly became thicker. As Zhao Duo breathed in the scent, the Nine-Sectioned Python's venom inside him grew even more violent, and his entire skeletal system was on the verge of shattering inch by inch.
"It's all over!"
No time to think about whether the green plant is poison or antidote, Zhao Shuo can only take a gamble, everything depends on whether heaven helps or not, if he is destined to die, then so be it.
A refreshing coolness flowed down his throat and into his body, instantly spreading the cool breath throughout his entire being. As the cool breath spread throughout his entire being, the originally extremely toxic Nine-Sectioned Snake's venom surprisingly merged with the cool breath, transforming into a warm current that nourished and mended the fractured bones at a speed visible to the naked eye. Zhao Xiao's skeletal system rapidly recovered, and even emitted a faint glow.
Under the gaze of divine consciousness, everything that happens inside the body floats completely in the mind, especially seeing the fractured skeleton recover at an incredible speed and even undergo earth-shaking changes.
"Skin as white as jade and bones made of ice!"
It was originally a phrase used to describe the strong of the Return to One period, and now it can barely be applied to Zhao Zhuo. Perhaps Zhao Zhuo's physical strength is still far from being comparable to that of a Return to Origin period strongman, but his skeletal system within his body is evolving towards Jade Bone.
It's also good to just raise it for now
