Ancient monster essence blood!
The monsters at Moonwatching Peak are digging for the remains of ancient monsters in order to find the possible precious essence blood inside.
Su Nan suddenly realized, according to Zhou Lingyin’s words, that the bloodlines of ancient monsters are much more powerful than today’s monsters. It’s obvious that such essence blood would be useful not only to martial artists but also to monsters themselves.
“The benefits of merging with the bloodline of an ancient monster don’t just stop at reducing the conflict of bloodlines during promotion.”
“Martial artists who merge with ancient monster bloodlines will be much stronger when they advance than ordinary martial artists.”
“There is even a certain probability that after advancing, one will awaken some special bloodline abilities.”
Zhou Lingym explained the benefits of merging with the bloodline of an ancient monster.
Upon hearing this, Su Nan became even more interested in the so-called ancient monster essence blood.
If he could get a drop of it, wouldn’t his strength become even stronger? Merging with both the physique series and law-controlling class bloodlines would already make his strength surpass that of ordinary mortal warriors, and if he merged with the ancient monster bloodline as well, just how strong would he become?
He might genuinely be able to kill spirit-level monsters within the mortal realm!
As if sensing what Su Nan was thinking, Zhou Lingyin said casually: “I suggest you just stick to merging with ordinary bloodlines. Ancient monster essence blood is extremely rare, and every single drop that appears causes all the major forces to scramble for it.”
Extremely rare?
Zhou Lingyin’s words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Su Nan, immediately cooling his head.
He had just been attracted by the benefits of the ancient monster bloodlines but had forgotten how scarce such a thing was.
Ancient times were countless millennia ago, and the powerful remains of monster skeletons have already rotted away. It was under such circumstances that the essence blood would naturally be difficult to preserve.
Perhaps it was really as Zhou Lingyin said, that essence blood would only be preserved by coincidence, but such situations would definitely be rare!
This could be deduced from the dug-up bones on Moonwatching Peak.
Thinking about this, he didn’t have much hope for merging with an ancient monster bloodline anymore.
However, just when he was feeling disappointed, Zhou Lingyin suddenly changed the subject: “I mentioned earlier that if you can manage to steal what I want, I’ll grant you a mysterious opportunity.”
“But with your current rate of improvement in strength, you won’t actually need that opportunity.”
A mysterious opportunity?
Su Nan had a sudden thought, and for some reason, when he heard Zhou Lingyin’s words, he associated it with the ancient monster essence blood: “Could the mysterious opportunity you’re talking about be related to the ancient monster essence blood?”
Previously, under the pressure of Zhou Lingyin and wanting to use her power to leave the prison, he had agreed to help Zhou Lingyin steal the Bronze Bell.
At that time, Zhou Lingyin indeed said that as long as he successfully completed the task, she would give him a mysterious opportunity.
However, he was merely curious at the time and didn’t pay much attention to it.
That was because he had no confidence in completing the task.
Now that Zhou Lingyin brought it up again and told him about the ancient monster bloodlines, he subconsciously connected the two things together.
Instead of directly answering Su Nan’s question, Zhou Lingyin asked: “Do you know what kind of place Sky Wolf Valley used to be?”
Su Nan pondered for a moment and said: “An ancient battlefield?”
“How did you know?” Zhou Lingyin asked, somewhat surprised.
She had only asked the question casually, not expecting Su Nan to answer. But to her surprise, Su Nan actually knew.
Su Nan wasn’t surprised, as he had obtained this information from his foreknowledge and couldn’t be wrong.
Zhou Lingyin also thought of Su Nan’s background, and her eyes showed a hint of strangeness as she said: “Indeed, there was a great battle here in ancient times, and countless monsters died. The valley is buried with the remains of countless monster skeletons underground.”
“When I first entered Sky Wolf Valley, I accidentally discovered a drop of ancient monstrous essence blood in a skeleton.”
“And coincidentally, it was the essence blood of a Mortal-level demon of the physique series.”
“Senior, you have the essence blood of an ancient monster?”
Upon hearing Zhou Lingyin’s words, Su Nan’s initial disappointment disappeared in an instant, replaced by surprise and joy.
Zhou Lingyin just happened to have the bloodline of an ancient monster from the physique series. Wasn’t this prepared for him?
“Senior, rest assured, I will definitely get what you want as soon as possible!” he immediately promised.
If Zhou Lingyin was willing to give him the ancient monstrous essence blood, then he would have to think about how to help Zhou Lingyin get the things out.
It seemed that Zhou Lingyin was very satisfied with Su Nan’s reaction, revealing a faint smile at the corner of her mouth.
She said she told Su Nan all of this so that he would hurry up and complete her task.
With the goal achieved, Zhou Lingyin no longer continued on the subject, and instead asked, “What is your purpose for coming this time?”
Coming back to his senses, Su Nan looked at the Wolf Demon in the corner and said, “Senior, I plan to find a way to kill this demon.”
Zhou Lingyin’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she replied indifferently,
“You’re still not strong enough to kill him.”
Su Nan explained, “As you know, Senior, us Outsiders can revive once a day, no matter how severe our injuries, and be fully recovered the next day, but demons cannot.”
“So, I plan to fight this demon every day, and as long as its injuries worsen day by day, I’ll be able to kill it soon.”
He had thought of this method before, but he just hadn’t had time to implement it.
Zhou Lingyin’s face showed surprise, as if she didn’t expect Su Nan to come up with this method. After a moment of silence, she nodded and said, “If you’re determined to do this, I won’t stop you.”
“But I must remind you, once you awaken this demon from the illusion, I won’t
help you put him back into the illusion again.”
She won’t help anymore?
Su Nan was somewhat disappointed. If Zhou Lingyin was willing to help, even if it was to make the Wolf Demon fall into an illusion again, it would be a huge help to him.
However, he had anticipated this situation and had not relied on Zhou Lingyin.
After thinking about it, he did not directly attack the Wolf Demon, but first opened the door of Cell No. 24 and another cell door far away that had no demon in it.
He planned to lure the Wolf Demon into the other cell.
If he fought the Wolf Demon in Cell No. 24, unless he didn’t use the Blazing
Bird Bloodline, Zhou Lingyin would notice the problem.
Since Zhou Lingyin couldn’t see that he had fused with the Controlling Technique Bloodline, there was no need to let her know.
However, without using the Blazing Bird Bloodline, his strength could only compete with Mortal-level demons. To fight against the Wolf Demon, he was still lacking, so he had to lure the Wolf Demon to other prison cells.
Zhou Lingyin didn’t ask about his intentions, saving Su Nan the trouble of explaining.
After the preparations were done, he took a deep breath, then approached the Wolf Demon and launched an attack with all his might!
Now that the Wolf Demon was trapped in the illusion, it wouldn’t dodge, making this a rare and crucial opportunity.
Even if he couldn’t kill it outright this time, he wanted to seriously injure the
Wolf Demon and weaken its strength considerably.
Except for the Blazing Bird Bloodline, Su Nan didn’t hold back and used his full Bloodline Combat Skill, aiming a fierce blow at the Wolf Demon Guard’s head and heart.
Feeling the strong sense of impending danger, the Wolf Demon Guard awoke from the illusion at this moment.
Seeing Su Nan’s all-out attack, the Wolf Demon wanted to dodge it, but it was too late!
Bam!
Su Nan’s fists landed on the Wolf Demon’s body at the same time, causing it to fly back and slam heavily into the wall..
