I Accumulate Spirit Roots for My Next Life - Chapter 321 - 188: Guagua’s Revenge (Part 2)
Chapter 321: Chapter 188: Guagua’s Revenge (Part 2)
Now, we can only hope to leave a trace of breath when that person uses the spring to break the Immobilization Talisman.
“It must be here that the impact breaks the Immobilization Talisman!”
After arriving at the spring beneath the main island, the four women conducted an investigation and captured the weak remnants of the Immobilization Talisman.
At this moment, Li Jizhou was also observing the four women within the array.
The cultivation of the four women at the Late Stage of Core Formation slightly surprised Li Jizhou.
As expected of the Divine Son of the Shangguan Immortal Race from the Central Domain, even his maidservants are at the Late Stage of Core Formation.
However, Li Jizhou could also feel the frail breath in the dantian of the four women. Although they had reached the realm, it was clearly forced, their foundation was shaky, and their magical power weak.
They were far from the standard of ordinary Late Stage Core Formation cultivators.
“Quickly collect the magical power aura in this place; even a little bit will allow the young master to seek the help of an advanced Divination Master!” The eldest quickly took action.
Li Jizhou’s array was only a hundred steps from the spring, and the four women passed by the edge several times.
However, with the concealment of the Quasi-Fourth Tier Illusion Array, the four women noticed nothing unusual.
Li Jizhou’s expression changed slightly upon hearing their words.
Divination again!
Li Jizhou had always held deep dread for the mysterious art of divination.
The reason he was anxious to leave the swamp and return to the Eastern Desolation was partly because of this—as the business alliance had once hired a Tier Three Advanced Level Divination Master to divine Li Jizhou’s location, and although it backfired, it was already very formidable.
Now, the Shangguan Immortal Race might dispatch a Nascent Soul True Monarch to the swamp, perhaps even having divined many of his secrets.
The swamp was no longer safe.
Of course, the Eastern Desolation was not absolutely safe either.
Still, without Nascent Souls, few truly threatened him.
The master of these four women, Shangguan Liuyun, was one such threat.
After being busy for half a day, the four women left dejectedly, because when Li Jizhou broke through the Immobilization Talisman, Bai Yi had already scorched the site thoroughly.
Except for the Primordial Spirit power within the Tier Four Immobilization Talisman that hadn’t completely dissipated, everything else left no trace.
“Shangguan Liuyun!” After the four women departed, Li Jizhou looked on gravely.
“Never mind, there’s no need to worry unnecessarily. At worst, I’ll just focus on cultivation here and strike for Nascent Soul!” In the end, Li Jizhou laughed heartily, dismissing further thoughts.
At the same time, deep within the Tier Three Sea Domain, nearly approaching the border of Tier Four Sea Domain,
Guagua’s pair of multicolored eyes swirled around anxiously, sensing something amiss.
This place was already a transition zone between Tier Three and Tier Four Sea Domains, with each Tier Four Demon Beast being a regional overlord, possessing territorial desires, and entering recklessly wouldn’t matter even at Tier Three Late Stage.
“Guagua!” Guagua called out to the crab, communicating through Divine Sense.
Just as the crab stopped, a tentacle suddenly rose and swiftly entangled Guagua.
Guagua was shocked, looking again at the tentacle binding it,
this moment was just like seventy years ago.
The squid’s aura was clearly at the Tier Three Late Stage pinnacle, still a step ahead of Guagua.
“Gua!” But Guagua at this moment wasn’t relying on itself.
With a fierce growl, four Quasi-Fourth Tier Puppets burst from the Hundred Treasure Bag, quickly surrounding the squid.
Guagua’s skin also instantly changed from multicolored to pitch black, as infinite toxins seeped from its body.
In an instant, the squid’s tentacle erupted with dark energy.
“Roar!” The squid roared and released Guagua.
“Gua!” Guagua also let out a fierce cry, as its long tongue shot out rapidly.
Boom!
A fierce battle was on the verge of erupting.
For now, Guagua had not made the four puppets act.
It wanted to attempt revenge on its own first.
In a flash, chaos filled this area, with seawater gushing, endless underwater sand and stones tumbling, the whole region in turmoil.
Bang!
Moments later, a tentacle struck hard upon Guagua.
Guagua soared backward, a three-foot-long blood mark on its back, shocking to behold.
Yet it tore off the front of a squid’s tentacle with its mouth, the squid’s blue-green blood surging forth.
They fought to a draw.
This time, the two creatures battled physically, compared to attacking with magical techniques, this method was the most powerful, yet also the most dangerous.
The squid evidently recognized Guagua long ago and was also avenging the grudge from seventy years ago.
Guagua flipped up again, looking at the squid with renewed eyes, suddenly breaking into a grin.
Then it chewed up the squid’s tentacle tip and swallowed it.
While grabbing the treasure material from the tentacle’s tip and storing it in the Hundred Treasure Bag, preparing to bring it back to Li Jizhou.
The squid, seeing this, grew increasingly furious, its remaining nine tentacles frantically flailing.
At that moment, however, Guagua lifted its head, no longer looking at it, instead controlling the puppets through Divine Sense to take action.
It had already proven itself to be strong, there was no need to exchange injury for injury anymore.
As soon as the four quasi-fourth tier puppets made their move, the squid was immediately panicked.
The puppets didn’t do anything at first, but once they acted, the squid instantly felt endless pressure.
The pressure brought by the four puppets at the same time was no less than the pressure it felt when it accidentally entered a Tier Four Sea Domain and was gazed upon by the Tier Four Demon King back then.
Boom!
In an instant, the four puppets charged out together.
The squid, almost at the peak of Tier Three Late Stage, couldn’t withstand even three moves, and its body and soul perished immediately, without any chance to self-destruct its Dantian.
“Quack, quack, quack!” It laughed three times, then swiftly collected all the treasures held by the other nine tentacles.
Seventy years ago, from its hands, a piece of Dragon Saliva Cold Gold was obtained, and Li Jizhou crafted his life-bound magical artifact.
Yet now, all ten tentacles of the squid were treasures again.
The rest of the items were unfamiliar to it, but when collecting the seventh piece, it paused in surprise.
Li Jizhou, seeing this through the shared vision, instructed it to try injecting demonic power.
It was a gold spiritual artifact resembling a seashell, not of an offensive type, but looked like it had some peculiar function.
“Quack!” Following Li Jizhou’s instructions, it infused a trace of demonic power.
Instantly, it was taken aback.
Once the seashell absorbed the demonic power, there was a slight tremor inside, and then a crab crawled out.
And as soon as this crab emerged, it grew little by little, its aura changing rapidly, until it reached the size of the crab that had just brought it here, looking exactly the same!
This shocked it greatly, making it leap in front of the crab for a close examination.
In the array, Li Jizhou was also astonished.
Never expected that squid great demon accidentally obtained such an exotic treasure.
It seemed to be able to replicate living creatures,
though it was unclear what exactly this living creature’s condition was.
Li Jizhou looked forward to studying it carefully upon returning, hoping it might have some effect on nurturing Gu insects.
Afterward, Li Jizhou examined the treasures on the other nine tentacles of the squid.
He expressed great praise to it.
This was also the reason why Li Jizhou so readily agreed to its quest for revenge this time.
With the treasures in hand, to avoid undue delays, Li Jizhou instructed it to return immediately.
Having avenged its great grievance, it was naturally overjoyed and immediately packed up the puppets and turned to leave.
“Boom!”
“Spare me, sirs! I’m just passing through, please show mercy!”
Just as it surfaced, there was a loud noise above, followed by a heartbreaking plea for mercy.
“Hmph! Just passing by? Where are you heading?” A sharp female voice rang out.
Through its vision, it saw it was the four women who had just left from the underwater spring.
“Junior wishes to visit the Sea Domain of the Five Elders Association.”
The one intercepted by the four women turned out to be a familiar face.
It was none other than the voluptuous beauty Qi Yuan!
“Heading to the Sea Domain of the Five Elders Association?” The four women gave a cold smile upon hearing this.
“Every word I say is true!” Qi Yuan replied humbly.
“Who are you? Why go to the Sea Domain of the Five Elders Association? What are you doing there?” The four women pressed relentlessly.
“I am Qi Zhou, acquainted with the Island Lord of the Sea Domain of the Five Elders Association, visiting a friend.” Qi Yuan responded, appearing quite fearful.
“Acquainted with the Island Lord? You know Jiang Li?” One of the four women asked teasingly.
Qi Yuan paused slightly: “Reporting to the seniors, my good friend is Jiang Li.”
“What a coincidence!” The four women laughed, then scrutinized Qi Yuan for a moment.
Though Qi Yuan wore a disguise, under the scanning of a Divine Sense at the late stage of Core Formation, it was easily seen through.
“Remove the disguise.”
Hearing this, Qi Yuan obediently returned to her true appearance.
“Tsk tsk, not bad, truly worthy of being a friend of Isle Master Jiang, indeed birds of a feather flock together! Since you wish to meet Isle Master Jiang, come with us!” One of the four women said, impressed with Qi Yuan’s looks.
Bringing this girl back to the young master might please him.
“I do not understand the seniors’ intentions?” Qi Yuan asked confusedly.
“Heh, nothing much, your friend Jiang Li is already by our young master’s side.” The four women were unwilling to waste too many words on this female cultivator, whose magical power aura seemed to be only at the early stage of Core Formation.
“Hmm?” Qi Yuan was even more puzzled.
“No bother for the seniors, I am quite close now, if Isle Master Jiang is not on the island, I shall seek other friends first and wait for her.”
“Hmph! Do you not understand words? Come with us immediately, otherwise, don’t blame us for being ruthless.
Moreover, the Sea Domain of the Five Elders Association was annihilated by us half a year ago, with no survivors. There is no need for you to waste time going there!”
