Chapter 1266 - 1263: Bat Dragon

Xiao Bai also came up and said, "The sonar from the Bat Dragon can cause hallucinations in people, so don't waste time with it. You must deal with it before it sends out the third sonar wave."

Chu Hao nodded, and the two of them attacked simultaneously.

Xiao Bai said, "I'll send you over."

Xiao Bai activated the Heavenly Path Pupil, picked up a stone, and shot it out.

At the next moment near the Bat Dragon, he performed a displacement pupil technique, switching Chu Hao with the stone!

The Bat Dragon probably never imagined being repositioned this way.

The great sword slashed down, and one of the Bat Dragon's heads was directly severed, blood splashing everywhere.

"Ding... Killed Bat Dragon, gained five million experience points."

"Ding... Bat Dragon dropped an item, Bat Dragon Ear."

Item: Bat Dragon Ear

Function: Can listen to any sound within a hundred-mile radius

Chu Hao obtained a pair of Bat Dragon Ears, thinking to himself it's a pretty good item.

However, slaying a Bat Dragon with a higher level than himself only rewarded him five million Pretentiousness Points, which was somewhat underwhelming.

This is the System's rule: the higher the level, the fewer experience points, but the higher the rewards for dropping items.

Xiao Bai revealed the beast core of the Bat Dragon, handed the fist-sized beast core to Du Peng, and said, "This beast core can absorb the Bat Dragon's beast core curse mark, which was just now, the one that can cause hallucinations in people."

Du Peng shook his head and said, "It was you who killed it, I..."

Xiao Bai said, "Since you're Zhang Han's friend, you're my friend too."

Chu Hao smiled and said, "Take it."

Du Peng said emotionally, "Thank you both."

Along the way, when encountering Heavenly Throne Realm Shanhai Beasts, they would be swept away. Chu Hao and Xiao Bai cooperated seamlessly, with hardly any missteps.

Chu Hao's experience points also increased rapidly, killing five Shanhai Beasts, with two occasions where items would drop, a very high probability.

Finally, the three decided to head deeper inside.

Chu Hao hadn't forgotten his quest to seek Ice Marrow at the Extreme Cold River, so he proceeded there.

"Boom"

On arriving, a big battle had already taken place, and the three came just as it was reaching its conclusion.

Dozens of sword-carrying men in white were besieging a King Realm Shanhai Beast.

This Shanhai Beast was a Purple Crystal Double-winged Male Lion, with purple crystals on its head, immensely fierce.

As for those men in white, they were from the Sword Dynasty.

Among them, Wan Jianxing, the number one young genius of the Sword Dynasty, was also present.

Du Peng exclaimed, "So powerful."

Xiao Bai said, "This Wan Jianxing is said to have cultivated the Wan Jian Technique to the fifth level, making him a top-tier existence among the sword cultivators of the Sword Dynasty."

The Purple Crystal Double-winged Male Lion was very powerful, circling in the air, spewing purple blue ghostly fire from its mouth. When it hit the ground, being scorched would reduce even a soul to ash.

Having killed to this point, everyone was very exhausted by now.

"Everyone, fall back."

Wan Jianxing wielded his sword and attacked with Reverse Sword Technique.

His sword cut through the purple blue fire, as the violent Sword Qi directly targeted the Purple Crystal Double-winged Male Lion.

It was too fast.

This strike opened a gash on the neck of the Double-winged Male Lion, blood gushing like a fountain.

The Double-winged Male Lion finally collapsed.

After dealing with the Double-winged Male Lion, Wan Jianxing didn't immediately extract the King Realm beast core but instead coldly said, "Have you watched enough? Come out."

Xiao Bai walked out, smiling, "As expected of Wan Jianxing."

The Sword Dynasty people, seeing it was the Purple Guard from Jiuhua Glory Holy Land, were not tense but rather sat down to rest and recuperate.

Because they knew that as long as Wan Jianxing was present, nothing would go wrong.

Wan Jianxing said, "Xiao Bai."

Xiao Bai asked curiously, "You recognize me."

Wan Jianxing gave a faint smile and said, "The owner of the Heavenly Path Pupil, with the Nine-hook Golden Pupil renowned in the world, the only one in the Shanhai Realm's Jiuhua Glory Holy Land's Purple Guard, who doesn't know."

Xiao Bai smiled but said nothing.

Du Peng was rather surprised; he had never known Xiao Bai's identity. Chu Hao hadn't been in the Purple Guard for long, but he had already made such strong friends?

Xiao Bai said, "We're just passing through."

Wan Jianxing said, "Brother Xiao, may I have a word?"

Xiao Bai nodded, and the two went elsewhere to talk.

Du Peng looked at the Purple Crystal Double-winged Male Lion's body and marvelled, "So amazing, that strike just now could penetrate the flame."

Chu Hao also had to acknowledge, Wan Jianxing is indeed very strong.

A girl from the Sword Dynasty proudly said, "Of course, my brother's swordsmanship is unmatched."

Wan Jianxing approached and said, "Xiao Yu, don't talk to strangers, how many times have I told you."

Xiao Yu stuck out her cute pink tongue.

"Brother, I'm not alone."

This Xiao Yu was sweet-looking and very cute, giving off a little sister next door vibe. Chu Hao said, "Your brother is right, don't talk to strangers lightly."

Xiao Yu pouted, "Why are you saying that too."

Wan Jianxing said, "Brother Xiao, then farewell."

"Farewell."

Xiao Bai and the others left.

Along the way, Xiao Bai curiously said, "Aren't you curious why he wanted to talk to me?"

Chu Hao said, "Why should I ask? It's your matter."

Xiao Bai smiled, "True, but since you don't ask, I can't help but want to tell."

It's no wonder; Xiao Bai was used to being alone. Suddenly making friends, the two shared bloodlines of the Shanhai Realm, which loosened his tongue significantly.

Xiao Bai said, "Wan Jianxing wanted to recruit me into the Sword Dynasty, said I could be a guest of honor, and later be their Great General or something."

Du Peng's eyes widened: No wonder he's in the Purple Guard; the terms offered are indeed different.

Xiao Bai said, "Honestly, I'm a bit tempted. You know, you and I must build a strong network in the Shanhai Realm."

Chu Hao knew what he was thinking.

Joining the Sword Dynasty, when the Foreign Ghosts invade, he could lead the Sword Dynasty to assist.

Chu Hao said, "You decide for yourself."

Xiao Bai sighed, "Can't you give a little advice?"

Chu Hao rubbed his chin, saying, "Consider first what you can bring them. After all, they're sword cultivators, and you're not. Will you be ostracized?"

Xiao Bai said, "You're right."

Finally, they arrived near the Extreme Cold River.

Following the map given by Wang Junyi, the Extreme Cold River lay ahead.

Finally, they saw a cliff, with the icy cliffs below stretching endlessly, emitting a chilling and piercing cold air.

Xiao Bai said, "Are you going down there?"

Chu Hao nodded, "Hmm, there's something down there I need. I'll go alone."

Chu Hao put on the Sage Master's Cloak, burst with high speed, and rushed down the glacier.

It was indeed very cold below.

However, he quickly reached the ground, surrounded by glaciers on all sides, as if in an ice cave.

Based on the information Wang Junyi provided him, Chu Hao ventured deeper into the frigid cold. The colder it got, the more likely he would find Ice Marrow.

"So cold!" Even with Yin Yang Force protecting him, Chu Hao still felt the bone-piercing cold.

He headed towards the source of the cold, and surely found a piece of Ice Marrow.
