Volume 3: A drop in the ocean Chapter 18: A Genius Meets a Strange Beast

Mo Yihan's eyes flashed, and before he was about to lose control of his body, he swung his long sword and slashed through the air, piercing the hole in the next moment! The runes on the iron plate suddenly disappeared, and with a clang, the iron plate fell to the ground, like scrap metal!
Then he swung the sword without hesitation. The dark green sword flew in the air in a dazzling trajectory, but the blade fell towards him!
First, the artery in his left hand! The dark green long knife slashed across his left wrist as fast as thin ice, leaving a black line of blood!
The next moment, the long sword was already in the left hand. With a slight raise, a stream of black blood gushed out from the artery in his right hand!
The dark green sword in Mo Yi's hand was moving like a cloud dragon, passing low, and his feet kicked, and two blood lines broke through the air at his ankles!
Then, he fell heavily to the ground, his teeth chattering, and he could hardly hold the dark green long sword in his hand. His hands were shaking violently...
This person is a genius! He is so bold and ruthless, his state of mind is probably beyond the realm of ordinary people!
"Soul-eating smoke"!
It is said that this poison is made from a mixture of datura and black spider juice, and is extremely toxic!
If it were someone else, he would have lost all his five senses, his whole body would be stiff and unable to move, and then he would have died suddenly. But this person was Mo Yi, so the worst situation did not happen!
Although the "Soul-Eating Smoke" is extremely poisonous and can eat away souls and kill people, it is not unpreventable.
Once the poison enters the human body, it does not rush to spread throughout the body, but only condenses into a line and goes straight to the heart through the arteries of the human limbs! Then once the venom is injected into the heart, it will cause sudden death immediately! Even if Mo Yi has become immortal, as long as the venom erodes the heart, it will cause the loss of all five senses, the limbs will be disabled, and he will be like a useless person!
However, if someone could control the flow of the poison in the body in the shortest possible time, and then attack the arteries of his or her limbs at the same time, cut the veins and then use spiritual power to squeeze out the poisonous blood that has been corroded, the worst outcome could be avoided!
However, the method of detoxification is not something that ordinary people dare to do. Not to mention how many people in the world can have such a high level of cultivation to suppress the rapid spread of toxins in the body to the heart. Just the fact that one can cut veins from all over the body to draw out poisonous blood in an instant is something that ordinary people cannot do.
First of all, you have to act quickly, because the poison will invade the heart through four arteries at the same time. If you are slow or any part is not treated in time, once the venom invades the heart, you will be doomed!
Secondly, the attack must be more accurate. If you cannot accurately determine the flow of the poison in the body, or your technique is not precise enough and you cannot squeeze out all the poisonous blood in an instant, or if you cut the wrong vital artery, the result will not be very good.
Thirdly, the attack must be ruthless. Not only must the veins be cut, but all spiritual power must be instantly increased to draw out the poisonous blood. However, the poison has an anesthetic effect. Once the poisonous blood is released, all the pain that was previously accumulated due to paralysis will surge out at once, both the original and the interest. The pain is probably no less than that of a thousand ants gnawing at your heart.
To possess the first two qualities at the same time, and to be ruthless and cruel to oneself, there are probably not many people like him in this world. But Mo Yi is a man who is bold and reckless, has precise swordsmanship, and is willing to be cruel to himself.
In the blink of an eye, he forced the soul-devouring and deadly "Soul-Eating Smoke" out of his body without any hesitation!
However, Mo Yi's condition was not much better at this time. Once the venom was removed, he felt the pain that was gnawing at his heart. His meridians felt as if thousands of ants were biting him. Beads of sweat flowed down his temples, and his teeth were clattering! At this time, Mo Yi only relied on his strong will and perseverance to hold on and not faint...
He fell to the ground, and he didn't know how long it took for him to calm down a little. He finally stopped his hands from shaking. He picked up the iron plate that he had just knocked to the ground. Just as he was about to take a closer look, a strong voice came over: "Hey, brat, I didn't expect you to be so powerful!"
Mo Yi felt that if he heard correctly, the sound must have come from the iron plate! The iron plate was originally a ring, and the skull in the middle was pierced by his knife, and now it has become a ridiculous copper coin shape.
He subconsciously loosened his grip and the iron plate fell to the ground with a clang.
"Hey, brat, don't be so arrogant! You threw me on the ground again, pick me up quickly!"
At this moment, Mo Yi heard it clearly and was 100% sure that the sudden sound was indeed coming from the iron plate. However, this iron plate was obviously a dead object, so why would it make a human voice?
Could it be... that something or someone is sealed in the iron plate?
Mo Yi suddenly remembered that he seemed to have heard his father mention it five hundred years ago. There was a spell called "Spiritual Sealing Spell", which could seal the spiritual consciousness of humans or alien beasts in any object, and if the sealed object was not released, it would remain sealed for hundreds or thousands of years, and would never be able to reincarnate!
Could it be…
"Could it be the 'Spiritual Sealing Spell'?" Mo Yi asked without any context, and it seemed like he was mumbling to himself, but the other party understood what he meant and muttered unhappily: "You are a man of some knowledge!"
Now that we have confirmed our guess, things will be much easier.
Mo Yi pursed his lips, and a faint smile appeared . There is always a way out! All along the way, he had faced low-level creatures that could not communicate. Mo Yi was almost desperate. He didn't expect that there was one that could speak human language in this thing! Since it can speak human language, it must know something!
"Since the creation of the world, the benevolent are invincible." When Mo Yi's fingertips touched the eight small seal characters, he could still vaguely feel the powerful spiritual power attached to them.
The person who cast the spell must have been a very high level cultivator. However, Mo Yi was not sure whether the creature sealed inside was a human or a talking beast.
"What do you mean by 'you, you, you'? You are so rude! At least you should call me senior! When I was roaming the world, you didn't even know where I was!" The voice from the iron plate actually acted in an air of seniority in front of Mo Yi, probably because he thought from Mo Yi's voice that this boy should be very young.
Mo Yi snorted in his heart. Acting as a senior in front of him? He is really ignorant and fearless! Nowadays, there are not many people in the virtual world who are qualified to show off their age in front of Mo Yi, who has lived for more than 500 years...
Fortunately, Mo Yi was not in the mood to argue with him about this. He was more concerned about what was sealed inside, how it was sealed, and what it knew.
"Then may I ask, senior, are you a human or an animal?" Mo Yi waved the iron plate in front of his eyes with a teasing look on his face. For some reason, his mood, which had been tense for a whole day and night, actually relaxed a little at this moment. Perhaps it was because he had been killing low-level creatures for so long, and suddenly a thing that could communicate with seemingly high-level creatures appeared, which made Mo Yi feel interesting.
"You stupid humans are so rude! What beasts are you talking about? Be careful or I'll come out and tear your mouth apart! I'm the Ancient Blue Dragon, don't compare me with you stupid humans." Hearing the name of the Ancient Blue Dragon, Mo Yi's eyes suddenly lit up with a strange look!
The ancient blue dragon, this is a legendary beast that can call the wind and rain and cover the sky! Compared with the Qiongqi duck brother of that day, it is almost incomparable! If it calls itself a senior in front of him, Mo Yi will be speechless. Living for five hundred years is nothing, this ancient blue dragon has lived for more than five thousand years.
Legend has it that when the blue dragon appears, the world will be united! But how could such a legendary beast be sealed in such an ordinary iron plate? And it was also used to make a hidden weapon that releases poison gas?
Mo Yi couldn't understand it.
As if seeing through Mo Yi's thoughts at this moment, the iron plate suddenly lit up strangely in Mo Yi's hand. Mo Yi seemed to see a deep blue light flashing in the iron plate for a moment, and then that powerful voice echoed in Mo Yi's ears again: "Don't think I don't know what you are thinking, brat, you must think that I am either a fake or a fool, otherwise how could I be sealed here by stupid humans!"
Mo Yi didn't try to hide his thoughts after being guessed. It was the truth anyway. He chuckled and became interested: "Then I'd like to hear more about it."
"If you want to know, I'll tell you. There is no such good thing in the world." No one would have expected that the strange beast that called itself Canglong would act like a child at this time, with a tone of "I won't tell you, what can you do to me?"
Mo Yi couldn't help laughing, thinking that this old guy was really interesting. Could it be that he had been sealed for so long that his brain was damaged first?
However, even though it was funny, curiosity could still kill people, especially when faced with such a rare beast that was rarely seen in a thousand years. Of course, the premise was that it was not lying. This was a rare adventure, and even before that, it only existed in legends passed down by word of mouth. Even though Mo Yi had lived for more than five hundred years, he had never seen it in person. It was absolutely impossible to say that Mo Yi had no interest in it.
If he had encountered it somewhere else, perhaps Mo Yi would have just laughed it off, thinking that it was some delusional madman or a monster that had been sealed for too long and was talking nonsense. But at this moment and here, Mo Yi was actually willing to believe it, because he had encountered enough strange things along the way, hadn't he, starting with the puppet wooden bird that guided him here, to the zombies and talisman spirits he met later, all of which were ghost things that had long been lost. Since returning to the Void Realm yesterday, Mo Yi seemed to have been witnessing some ancient lost things.
