The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

Chapter 594: Chapter 594: Mountain Devouring Serpent

“I’m saying you have to beat Zhou Yishui up badly. He’s too arrogant.” Fang Lin casually commented, his face didn’t twitch a bit when he lied.

Wang Erdan nodded: “I forgot to tell you, if you meet someone from the Five Elements Sect, don’t mention that you’ve seen me.”

“Mmm-hmm, I will remember it.” Fang Lin nodded repeatedly.

It wouldn’t be until Wang Erdan truly left that Fang Lin would let out a sigh of relief and then collapse on the ground like a dead dog yet again.

“This Undefeatable Naughty Man, he really is more formidable in person than his reputation suggests.” Steward Shen commented with a sigh.

Fang Lin laid on the ground, laughing, “The kid’s just an ignorant young man, it wouldn’t hurt for him to annoy Zhou Yishui a bit.”

“He’s all alone, yet he can move around without fear in this Hundred Beast Mountain. His strength is terrifying indeed.” Steward Shen added.

Fang Lin nodded, completely agreeing. In this extremely dangerous Hundred Beast Mountain, being alone is basically a death sentence.

Yet this Undefeatable Naughty Man, Wang Erdan, can move freely, which proves how powerful this man truly is, and how unshakeable his confidence.

“We can’t stay here for long, we should leave after a brief rest. The duo from the Western Guarding Palace will probably catch up soon.” Steward Shen stated.

Fang Lin hummed in agreement. The Jade Slip he had smashed when he fled contained a deadly array, which was a life-saving item given by Chen Yongnian.

Thinking of this, Fang Lin got angry. This old man was truly a miser, only giving him some Jade Slips that could lay down arrays, but not a single decent valuable item.

Fang Lin originally thought that no matter how stingy Chen was, he would at least give one or two life-saving treasures.

Unexpectedly, this old man Chen Yongnian gave him a handful of Jade Slips instead. Fang Lin was dumbstruck at the time. He had to suppress the impulse to curse and hypocritically thanked Chen Yongnian out of courtesy.

But now it seems that these Jade Slips do come in handy, at least they had played a crucial role at the crucial moment.

For now, Fang Lin swallowed several Pills in succession, and after he somewhat recovered, he released Zhou Zhishui and Zhou Xiruo from the Beast Bag.

Both women had woken up, but their condition didn’t look good. They were seriously injured.

Fang Lin gave them Pills, and then put them back into the Beast Bag.

Seeing that Fang Lin didn’t abandon the two women, Steward Shen nodded to himself. He had always seen Fang Lin as a ruthless and heartless figure. But now it seemed that Fang Lin wasn’t so ruthless as to completely forsake his humanity.

If it were someone else, they would have probably already abandoned these two women. After all, both women were seriously injured and practically useless now, they were nothing but a burden.

After a brief rest at this place, Fang Lin and Steward Shen crossed the river and followed a rough path to the top of the waterfall.

From here, they could appreciate the scenery beneath the waterfall, but neither Fang Lin nor Steward Shen were in the mood to take in the scenery. They went straight upstream along the riverbank.

The more the two walked, the more puzzled they became. In theory, there should be demons everywhere in this Hundred Beast Mountain, but here, whether it’s upstream or downstream, there seemed to be no demon beasts in sight.

This was somewhat strange.

Although they held some doubts in their hearts, the absence of demon beasts could be considered a good thing, for the two of them were injured, and if they were to encounter powerful demon beasts, they wouldn’t have the strength to deal with them.

After walking for more than an hour, Fang Lin and Steward Shen stopped to rest.

On their way, they were very careful to erase any traces they left behind, so even if the two from the Western Guarding Palace chased them, they wouldn’t be able to locate them easily.

They seized the opportunity to heal their wounds, even consuming two ancient medicinal herbs for healing their injuries.

Until night fell, the woman in black did not chase after them, but their injuries were mostly healed.

Steward Shen’s injuries were lighter and healed faster than Fang Lin’s, but since Fang Lin was injured more severely by the large ink-colored seal, he needed another night’s rest to recover completely.

But for safety reasons, the two of them took advantage of the darkness and walked a bit further.

There were dense forests on both sides of the river bank. Fang Lin and Steward Shen did not dare to enter the dense forest. Because of their previous encounters, they dreaded running into a demon beast’s territory again.

Right beside the river bank, Fang Lin crushed a Jade Slip and activated an array. The two of them meditated within the array for the night.

As dawn was about to break, Fang Lin opened his eyes and looked outside of the array.

Upon looking, Fang Lin’s face changed dramatically at once.

“Old Shen, we’ve got a problem.” Fang Lin quickly called out. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Steward Shen woke up from his meditation, looked around, and was also taken aback.

Outside the array, countless snakes of different colors, and patterns were coiling, just a glance could give one goosebumps.

There were too many snakes, stretching as far as the eye could see. Even the river’s surface was full of snakes swarming around.

Because of the presence of the array, these snakes couldn’t get close to Fang Lin and Shen, but they surrounded the array and more and more gathered.

“Could it be that we have entered the territory of the Snake Demon?” Steward Shen knitted his brows and looked rather uneasy.

Fang Lin agreed wholeheartedly, this place was most likely the territory of the Snake Demon, otherwise there wouldn’t be so many snakes.

But the strength of these snakes was meager, there wasn’t even a Three Transformations Snake Demon, basically, all were One Transformation or Two Transformations Snake Demons, they didn’t even take them seriously.

They could handle however many such low-level Snake Demons there were.

Just when Fang Lin was about to deactivate the array and break out, the broad river suddenly began to churn.

“Hmm?” Both looked towards the river, their faces filled with surprise.

Boom!!!

A column of water shot into the sky, and a slim figure flew out of the surging river, carrying a monstrous wave and an overwhelming aura of a demon beast.

Seeing this long-shaped figure, Fang Lin and Steward Shen’s faces changed dramatically, and their pupils contracted.

“Flood Dragon!” Both cried out in surprise, their faces looking as bad as could be.

The thing that soared from the river was actually a Flood Dragon!

The contemporary emperor of Xuan Country, in his younger years, had once come out of the Hundred Beast Mountain carrying the carcass of a Flood Dragon, which had set him on the path to being an invincible emperor.

But it was said that the current emperor of Xuan Country had only met an injured Flood Dragon, which is why he was able to kill it.

Under normal circumstances, even a Martial Artist at the Spirit Vein level would have a hard time killing a Flood Dragon.

Although the Flood Dragon isn’t a True Dragon and isn’t even comparable to a touch of a True Dragon, it’s nevertheless one of the powerful ones among many demon beasts because of its ‘Dragon’ attribute.

“It’s not a Flood Dragon! It’s a Mountain Devouring Serpent about to transform into a Flood Dragon!” Upon a closer look, Fang Lin immediately realized that this creature was not a Flood Dragon.
