Chapter 25 Demonic Cultivator and the Great Serpent
After listening for a while, Su Qingyan gave up the idea of continuing to watch the excitement.
I felt a vague sense of unease.
If the demonic cultivators go to Plum Blossom Village, will they discover the Xuan Shui Catfish hiding in the nearby Black Water Pool?
It's not impossible.
In order to find the opportunity of the Mysterious Water Catfish, I have already invested 1 point of my family's luck, so I can't let other cultivators get there first.
So he leaned close to Little Grey's ear and whispered, "Go quickly and check out the situation at Plum Blossom Village."
"Fly higher, so that the demonic cultivator doesn't spot us. Also, look for any ponds or pools east of Plum Blossom Village."
chirp——
Little Grey soared into the sky and flew rapidly eastward to find the location of Plum Blossom Village.
It took about 20 minutes for him to return to Su Qingyan's side with the information he had gathered, and he chattered away for a long time.
It seems to contain a lot of information.
Su Qingyan listened patiently and sorted through the information in his mind.
Little Grey's expression was a bit messy, but after some sorting, Su Qingyan was still able to fully "understand" what it meant.
First, there are the ponds to the east of Plum Blossom Village. There are about five, six, seven, or eight of them, some big, some small, and some irregular. Little Grey isn't good at math, so he can't count them very clearly.
However, it mentioned that among these pools, the easternmost one, closest to the Biyue Mountains, is the largest, and the water inside appears black and is bottomless.
There seemed to be the presence of demonic beasts nearby.
It was just that they were too far apart, and Little Grey was flying too high, so the aura it sensed wasn't very clear.
In addition, Little Grey focused on observing the situation inside Plum Blossom Village. Just as the villagers who had escaped from Plum Blossom Village said, there was a demonic cultivator in the village who was massacring the entire village.
The other party seems to be practicing a very extreme demonic cultivation technique.
He killed a large number of ordinary villagers, piled their bodies together, and then melted them into a black liquid, which is what the villagers of Plum Blossom Village call black blood.
Only one drop of "black blood" can be extracted from the corpse of a mortal.
"What is the approximate cultivation level of that demonic cultivator?"
"Can you tell?" Su Qingyan asked Little Grey.
After hearing the question, Little Grey thought for a moment, and then chirped a few times in response.
This time, Little Grey expressed himself quite clearly, and Su Qingyan "heard" him very smoothly. The general meaning was: the demonic cultivator's cultivation level was much higher than theirs, but not by more than one minor realm.
In other words, that demonic cultivator was still at the early stage of Qi Refining.
He definitely hasn't reached the mid-stage of Qi Refining; he's most likely around the third level of Qi Refining.
"The other side is quite strong. We don't have the ability to rid the people of this scourge. Let's leave this mess to the cultivators of the Zhou family of Jin Su Mountain."
"Since this demonic cultivator isn't targeting the Blackwater Pool, we don't need to worry about him too much."
"Little Grey, go find a path that leads to the largest black pool, one that goes around the village. We'll avoid contact with that demonic cultivator and stay away from him." Su Qingyan scratched Little Grey's neck and released it again.
Based on the information brought back by Little Grey and the hints given on the attribute panel, Su Qingyan estimated that the group of Xuan Shui catfish were hiding in the largest black pool.
He planned to use the Shadowless Earth Spirit Needle to act quickly, catch the Xuan Shui Catfish, and leave.
In just over ten minutes, Little Grey found a route that ran along the edge of Plum Blossom Village. By winding through the woods, it would reach the Blackwater Pool.
The center of the village where the demonic cultivators were located could not be seen throughout the entire journey.
Su Yanqing followed Little Grey to a spot not far outside Plum Blossom Village and found a crooked willow tree to tie the packhorse to.
According to the information brought back by Little Grey, there is the aura of an unfamiliar demonic beast near the Blackwater Pool. If the packhorse is startled and makes too much noise, attracting the demonic cultivators, it would be very bad.
"Little Grey, if we keep following this road, we'll reach Blackwater Pool, right?" Su Qingyan asked.
Little Grey nodded.
Su Qingyan continued, "Then I can walk by myself. Little Grey, you fly up into the sky and keep an eye on that demonic cultivator for me. I'm worried that he might have some means to detect our presence."
"If they get close, we won't even have time to react."
"It's always better to be cautious."
With Little Grey on guard in the sky, Su Qingyan felt very at ease and quickened his pace considerably.
Just as he was about to reach the Blackwater Pool, Little Grey suddenly flew back, chirping and whispering information in his ear.
"You mean you flew too low this time and were discovered by the monster near the Blackwater Pool? That monster is a large snake at the early stage of the first tier, and it's hiding deep in the Blackwater Pool."
"It spotted you, and then half of its body popped out."
"Then, the demonic cultivators in the village suddenly discovered a giant serpent monster that had emerged halfway out of the black pool."
"Did that demonic cultivator head towards the Blackwater Pool in the end?"
Little Grey nodded quickly, indicating that Su Qingyan's understanding was correct.
"Although I can clearly perceive what you are trying to express, the way you monsters express information is quite different from us humans. When there is too much information, it is easy to get confused."
Su Qingyan couldn't help but mutter a complaint, then continued in a low voice, "Then let's not rush things."
"Let's sneak over and check it out."
"That giant serpent monster is actually hiding in the Blackwater Pool. With this thing guarding it, catching the Xuan Shui Catfish in the Blackwater Pool will probably be a very difficult task."
"Now that the demonic cultivator is gone, it's actually a good thing for both of us."
"If that demonic cultivator and the giant serpent beast fight to the death, we can pick up two free 'heads' and get a double kill."
As he spoke, Su Qingyan's excitement was evident in his eyes.
So he immediately led Little Grey Grey like a thief, tiptoeing towards the location of the Blackwater Pool, much slower than normal walking speed, making almost no sound.
The demonic cultivators who rushed over were much faster.
When Su Qingyan and Little Grey's heads emerged from behind a large rock, the demonic cultivators had already entered a standoff with the giant snake demon beast in the Blackwater Pool.
Hiss--
The giant serpent demon kept sticking out its tongue, threatening the demonic cultivator.
At the same time, Little Grey, hiding behind the rock, translated all of the serpent monster's threatening words and whispered them to Su Qingyan: "It said you'd better not fight me, or I'll either kill you or seriously injure you so that the guy hiding behind the rock can take advantage of you."
However, this demonic cultivator couldn't understand the language of the giant serpent beast.
They completely disregarded the giant serpent monster's display of power.
He took out a small white and green porcelain bottle from the storage bag at his waist and said somewhat maniacally, "Using the essence and blood of mortals to refine this 'Demon Blood Guide' is the worst possible choice."
"To get the best blood from cultivators, you have to pick those who are alone and weak, but weak cultivators generally don't wander around in the wild alone."
"The best is the blood of demon beasts... but most demon beasts hide in deep mountains and forests, which are not only hard to find but also very dangerous. The Biyue Mountains have the most demon beasts, but unfortunately I dare not go in."
"I'm the kind of person who values my life very much."
"Fortunately, God has been kind to me, sending a first-stage level one demon beast like you to my door."
"You're so big, you must have a lot of blood inside you. I reckon I can refine more than ten drops of 'Demonic Blood Essence' from you. I'm so excited! Look, my hands are trembling!"
"Once I subdue you, you giant water snake, I'll definitely be able to help my little darlings take their place!"
"By then, I will be able to seize more resources and break through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining."
