Chapter 119 Absorbing Blood Qi
Because this scene on the top of the mountain is really overwhelming.
There were a pile of monster corpses, as well as many corpses of cultivators.
These are not the most important things. The main thing is that in the center of these corpses, there is a flag.
The flag was blood red with hideous patterns painted on it. The longer one stared at it, the more one could feel a terrifying aura constantly coming towards them.
This pattern seems to be alive, and perhaps it is normal for it to suddenly emerge from the flag later.
Chen Li took a few steps back. Could this be the Soul-Killing Flag that Zhou Cheng mentioned?
The surrounding blood and energy were constantly being absorbed, and the originally shriveled corpses were gradually revealing their bones.
The corpses that had long since turned into bones had been severely weathered and turned directly into a pile of powder.
Seeing this scene, Chen Li almost didn't dare to take any action.
Escape? Or reclaim it?
These are almost all things that give Chen Li a headache.
In the end, Chen Li took a deep breath and chose to recycle it directly.
But not now. In his current situation, let alone retrieving the Soul-Killing Flag, it would be very difficult for him to even deal with an enemy of the same level.
Fortunately, the Soul-Killing Flag has a range. As long as Chen Li doesn't get close to it, he will not be attacked by the Soul-Killing Flag.
With such a large amount of blood and energy, Chen Li also had a bold idea in his mind.
He immediately sat cross-legged, took a deep breath, and began to practice the Blood Evil Technique.
The surrounding blood and energy continued to flow into Chen Li's body, and his originally serious injuries were gradually recovering at this time.
It seems that my bet was right this time. I can actually snatch blood and energy from under the nose of the Soul-Killing Flag.
The Soul-Killing Flag is an ownerless object. It is not intelligent like a monster, nor is it likely to have thoughts like humans. It can only attack and defend, and instinctively absorb the blood and energy around it.
Therefore, even if Chen Li seized and absorbed the blood and energy right under the nose of the Soul-Killing Flag, the Soul-Killing Flag would not have any reaction.
As time passed, Chen Li's injuries were gradually recovering, and his spiritual energy was also recovering bit by bit.
It wasn't long before Chen Li felt a breath approaching this side.
When he felt this breath, Chen Li frowned, stood up immediately, turned around and prepared to fight.
But the next moment Chen Li discovered that the person coming over was not an enemy, but Zheng Yuan.
Zheng Yuan was in a miserable state at this time. His protective gear was damaged a lot and he had many scars on his body.
Seeing him in such a mess, Chen Li was a little surprised: "Didn't you not get attacked by that person? Why are you in such a mess?"
Zheng Yuan had an unhappy expression on his face and said, "Don't mention it. Although I wasn't chased by a mid-stage Jindan cultivator, I happened to run into a mid-stage Jindan monster that was eating. I lost a lot of treasures before I escaped."
Chen Li could only smile bitterly, he never thought that Zheng Yuan's condition was even worse than his.
"Speaking of which, how did you escape from that guy's pursuit?" Zheng Yuan looked at Chen Li and asked him.
Chen Li said calmly: "It's nothing, actually. I just used some of my trump cards."
Slightly used some trump cards?
Hearing Chen Li say this, Zheng Yuan became a little confused.
But then he thought again, Chen Li even has a spirit pet in the early stage of the Golden Core, and it can easily appear in his sight.
Then Chen Li must have a bigger trump card.
Of course, Zheng Yuan would not ask about it. These things were his own secrets, and how could Chen Li tell him easily?
Originally, Zheng Yuan was planning to take a rest here, but after seeing the Soul-Killing Flag not far ahead, his face changed.
"Why is the Soul-Killing Flag in this place!" Zheng Yuan's face was full of shock. He had come here just to look for treasures, but by coincidence he found the Soul-Killing Flag.
Chen Li said, "I was also quite surprised just now, but when I saw the body over there, I roughly understood what happened."
Zheng Yuan looked at the corpses over there. Those were all traitors of the Red Blood Sect.
"It's really strange that they would appear in this mountain range. Do they know something?" Zheng Yuan touched his chin and muttered to himself.
Chen Li shook his head and said to Zheng Yuan, "They are traitors and want to take the Soul-killing Flag for themselves. They must know that the Red Blood Sect will send people to look for it, so they found a place like this where even you have never been."
Zheng Yuan nodded. Perhaps it was just as Chen Li said. They came to this mountain range for this reason.
It's just curious why all the people here are dead.
"It's strange. Logically speaking, the person who controls the Soul-Killing Flag should not die, but why are there so many corpses here?" Zheng Yuan looked at so many corpses and had too many doubts in his head.
Chen Li spread his hands helplessly. He didn't know what the Soul-Killing Flag actually did. Of course, one thing he knew was that as long as you didn't get close to the designated location, the Soul-Killing Flag would not react no matter what you did.
"Maybe the controller is somewhere else, or maybe he has accidentally entered the secret realm of the treasure map." Chen Li boldly stated his hypothesis.
Zheng Yuan didn't continue talking. Maybe this was really just as Chen Li said.
However, given the current situation, they are also very clear that this matter is definitely not as simple as they thought.
"Then you recover first, and we'll go in later." Chen Li said to Zheng Yuan.
If I don't recover well, when I enter here later and face the dead souls in the Soul-Killing Flag, it won't be as easy as I thought.
"Then let's work out a strategy while I'm recovering." Zheng Yuan said as he took out a pill from his space ring and swallowed it.
Chen Li nodded, "So what kind of strategy do we need?"
"When the time comes, after we two go in, we will first deal with the dead souls in the Soul-Killing Flag, and then find an opportunity to break through to the front of the Soul-Killing Flag. Then, as long as we stick this thing on the Soul-Killing Flag, we can seal it temporarily." As he said that, Zheng Yuan took out two talismans and handed one of them to Chen Li.
Chen Li nodded, then turned to look at the Soul-killing Flag over there, "Isn't it possible to fly directly through this location?"
"The Soul-Killing Flag is not as simple as you think. If we can really do this, then anyone can seal the Soul-Killing Flag." Zheng Yuan explained to Chen Li.
Chen Li nodded. In that case, he would need to keep an eye on the time.
After a brief rest, Zheng Yuan's injuries and spiritual energy had recovered.
"It's worthy of being a fourth-grade elixir. The medicinal effect is indeed powerful." Although Zheng Yuan felt distressed, the effect of the medicine was indeed amazing.
Chen Li slowly stood up and looked at the Soul-killing Flag not far away. "Then, let's get started."
Zheng Yuan nodded and took the lead to step into the warning range of the Soul-Killing Flag.
For a moment, a bloody aura continued to emerge from the Soul-Killing Flag.
The blood and energy continued to condense into dead souls, and their strength was extremely powerful.
"It seems that this Soul-Killing Flag is really terrifying." Chen Li couldn't help but exclaimed in amazement when he saw so many dead souls.
There are not only those who practice cultivation, but also those who engage in demonic beast activities. No one knows how many lives this Soul-Evil Flag has devoured.
At this moment, Chen Li rushed forward without any hesitation.
He was extremely fast and slashed directly at a figure not far away.
After this figure disappeared, it regrouped in a very short time and launched an attack on Chen Li.
"Damn it, why didn't you tell me that these things cannot be destroyed." Chen Li looked at the phantom of the monster that was condensed again and couldn't help but frowning .
Zheng Yuan replied: "Shouldn't this be common sense? Otherwise, why do you think the Soul-Killing Flag is one of our Red Blood Sect's treasures?"
Chen Li didn't know how to answer, but now he was very clear that if he didn't deal with the matter as soon as possible, these ghosts would probably just use their physical strength to show off to Xiaohao.
So Chen Li circulated his spiritual energy and then rushed directly to the location of the Soul-Killing Flag not far away.
Just when Chen was about to reach the Soul-Killing Flag, several ghosts of monsters appeared and blocked his way.
Moreover, the souls of these monsters were of high levels, and they bit Chen Li directly.
Chen Li did not dare to be negligent and simply took a few steps back.
It was clearly getting close to that place just now, but now it has retreated back to its original position.
Zheng Yuan's situation was even more miserable than Chen Li's. Most of the dead souls were running towards Zheng Yuan.
"Damn it, what's going on? Do you think I'm easy to bully?" Zheng Yuan frowned. There were only a few ghosts on Chen Li's side, but there were more than a dozen ghosts attacking him.
Although their realms are not as high as Zheng Yuan's, as long as they have blood and energy, they can regenerate infinitely and are almost immortal.
But Zheng Yuan is a living person, and the spiritual energy in his body will be used up sooner or later.
So he did not exercise his power right away.
These ghosts are not the main force.
There are three ghosts in the early Jindan stage in the evil soul flag, which will only cause more trouble.
"We can't delay this any longer." Zheng Yuan gritted his teeth and muttered to himself.
He bit his finger and immediately smeared the blood on his dagger. Then, dark demonic energy continued to emerge. The ghosts around seemed to be affected and were actually a little afraid.
Seeing these ghosts stagnate, Chen Li immediately rushed towards the Soul-Killing Flag not far away again.
He held the talisman in his hand. As long as he could stick the talisman over, he would be able to complete the task easily.
But at this moment, he saw a figure appear and hit him with a stick.
Chen Like didn't dare to move forward any further, so he immediately stepped back to avoid the attack.
It was a ghost that looked a little old, with a sinister smile on his face.
The aura of this ghost was fluctuating so violently that Chen Li gasped.
Could this be one of the three Jindan stage cultivators who were absorbed by the Soul-Killing Flag?
"Damn it, it's appeared so soon." Zheng Yuan couldn't help but say after seeing it.
Chen Li didn't pay much attention to it and just kept staring at the dead soul.
This ghost holding a stick looks quite powerful, but I don't know how strong he is.
Chen Li thought about it in his mind and gradually took a few steps forward.
Suddenly, the opponent's stick appeared in front of him.
Fortunately, Chen Li reacted quickly and deflected the opponent's attack with the black sword in his hand.
Otherwise, Chen Li would have been seriously injured by this blow.
Looking at the atmosphere around him, Chen Li seemed to realize a problem.
The reason why these ghosts can gather together is all because of the blood energy released from the Soul-Killing Flag.
If I could absorb all this blood and energy, wouldn't I be able to win without fighting?
