“Are you willing to become a Half-Dragonman in order to become stronger?” Lu Linshen looked at Su Jingxing.

The corners of the latter’s lips twitched.

“…Thank you for the information.” Su Jingxing gave his thanks.

“Ha, looks like you still don’t believe me.” Lu Linshen smiled. “Let’s go, we’ll go get the reverse scale before they send people over again. Sense carefully and you’ll know if I’m lying.”

With that, he soared into the air and flew quickly in the direction Su Jingxing had come from.

Seeing this, Su Jingxing followed suit.

A human and a Half-Dragonman swiftly rushed back.

Back at the huge pit where the Red Wyrm died.

Lu Linshen stood in the air and swung its claws at the ground quickly. At the end, it suddenly retracted them.

Swoosh!

A ray of light jumped out from the Red Wyrm’s corpse at the bottom of the pit and flew into the air, landing in Lu Linshen’s hand.

“This is the reverse scale of the Red Dragon.”

Lu Linshen handed a translucent scale the size of a washbasin to Su Jingxing and chuckled. “Hold it in your hand and try to sense and absorb it.”

“…”

Su Jingxing didn’t stand on ceremony. He took the scale and released half of his attention to sense its aura.

He immediately discovered a surge of scorching energy contained in the scale.

Although this scale was very small and thin, the amount of energy it contained was even more than the entire Copper Lake.

And this energy was filled with evil, bloodthirstiness, and violence. It repelled Su Jingxing greatly, and he wanted to throw it away immediately.

However, at this moment, Su Jingxing’s heart skipped a beat. He tried to draw a trace of energy and circulate Vast Ocean to absorb and refine it.

To his surprise——

Success!

Vast Ocean could absorb this violent and evil energy and convert it into spiritual essence cultivation, and it would not affect Su Jingxing at all.

Su Jingxing was overjoyed.

Glancing at Lu Linshen, he suddenly sped up the absorption and increased the amount being absorbed.

A violent and evil energy aura instantly emerged from the reverse scale and was absorbed by Su Jingxing, turning into Vast Ocean Spiritual Essence.

“You…”

Lu Linshen was shocked and shouted in exasperation, “Are you crazy? Didn’t you sense the viciousness of this energy…”

Its words trailed off as its wide scarlet eyes stared blankly at Su Jingxing.

“You… you’re actually fine?”

Lu Linshen looked like it had seen a ghost, its face filled with disbelief.

It could sense that after Su Jingxing absorbed the energy of the reverse scale, there was no leakage or change in his aura.

This meant that Su Jingxing could easily restrain and suppress the negative effects after absorbing the energy of the Red Dragon’s reverse scale.

This was astonishing.

In any case, this was the first time Lu Linshen was hearing and seeing this.

“I want this reverse scale.”

Lu Linshen was shocked. Su Jingxing began calmly, “It probably will affect you greatly if I take it, right? Why don’t you leave this place with me?”

“Yes, I can leave, but not with you.”

Lu Linshen took a deep breath and regained his composure. “You can take it, but I’ll report to the higher-ups that you took it. If nothing goes wrong, I’ll leave with my team to hunt you down outside.”

“And then?” asked Su Jingxing excitedly, instead of feeling any fear or aversion.

“Then, I’ll find an opportunity to get close to that beast!”

Lu Linshen gritted his teeth. “There aren’t many Half-Dragonmen in the third-realm, and only two in the fourth-realm. The one at the top is the Half-Dragonman King. In order to recover the reverse scale of the Red Dragon, all the Half-Dragonmen will be mobilized to hunt you down.

“But there are only a dozen or so candidates to be the leaders of the teams. I’m one of them, and that beast is also one of them.

“As long as the little beast leaves the Half-Dragonman King’s side, I will find an opportunity to kill it!”

“Good plan.” Su Jingxing nodded and pondered before saying, “I can help you complete this plan.”

“…Thank you!”

Lu Linshen bowed gratefully to Su Jingxing.

Compared to the slow growth brought about by the Red Dragon’s reverse scale, avenging its mother was Lu Linshen’s lifelong pursuit.

How could Lu Linshen not be grateful that Su Jingxing was willing to help?

It had come clean previously with this intention as well.

However, what he said earlier was a test.

Now that Su Jingxing had agreed, it was a happy ending for everyone.

…

“The plan can be like this…”

After leaving the huge pit where the Red Dragon died in, Su Jingxing and Lu Linshen found a remote corner to discuss countermeasures and perfect their plan.

Simply put, Su Jingxing would be the bait to attract the attention of the various hunting teams of the Half-Dragonmen and give Lu Linshen a chance to get close to the child of the Half-Dragonman King.

As long as the other party was a distance away from the Half-Dragonman King, Lu Linshen could seize the opportunity to kill it, even if it meant perishing together with it.

This was Lu Linshen’s obsession and pursuit.

Of course, in the plan, Su Jingxing, who would be chased by more than ten teams of Half-Dragonmen, would naturally be in great danger.

With the Half-Dragonman King personally taking action, once caught, Su Jingxing would have a pitifully slight chance to escape.

But fortune comes with risk!

This was because when Su Jingxing returned to the place where the Red Wyrm died with Lu Linshen, he took out the cards he had extracted from the dozen or so Half-Dragonmen corpses.

When he read the information, he realized that these cards were all Black Body Cards!

Those were only Half-Dragonmen between first-realm and second-realm, but their physical bodies were actually comparable to other devils in the third-realm.

Every one of them was so powerful that Su Jingxing extracted the Black Body Card after their deaths.

As for the Black Body Cards, 10 of them could increase his spiritual martial body by one class.

Even if the number of Black Body Cards required continued to increase as his realm advanced, there was no need to worry.

Every death of a Half-Dragonman would give one Black Body Card.

Hadn’t it just perfectly resolved this problem?

How could Su Jingxing miss out on such a great opportunity?

Without Lu Linshen, it would have taken a lot of time for Su Jingxing to go deep into the Half-Dragonmen den alone or search for Half-Dragonmen everywhere to hunt. The risk would also have been several times higher.

Su Jingxing didn’t fear Half-Dragonmen below the third-realm.

But it would be extremely difficult for Su Jingxing to deal with any Half-Dragonmen in the third-realm, fourth-realm, or even the Half-Dragonman King.

Take Lu Linshen for example. If Su Jingxing were to fight it, he would at most have a 50% chance of winning.

This was the keen intuition of a powerful soul power, and its prediction of danger.

Therefore, since Su Jingxing had to hunt and kill the Half-Dragonmen, it would be more convenient for him when they were lured out of the Red Dragon Cave Abode.

If he made a move in the Red Dragon Cave Abode, Su Jingxing would be trapped here once passageway’s duration was up.

On the contrary, there were many benefits by going outside.

For example, divert the trouble and let the Half-Dragonmen and the Red Dragon Heavenly Pigs fight to the death so that Su Jingxing could hide in the dark and extract cards.

Cough cough!

At this thought, Su Jingxing’s breathing quickened.

…

After ending his discussion with Lu Linshen, Su Jingxing immediately put away the Red Dragon’s reverse scale and followed the direction he came from to find the entrance of the passageway.

When entering, one had to accelerate to a certain extent to enter the door in the void.

There was no need to go through so much trouble to get out.

The Red Dragon Cave Abode was directly connected to the shore of the lake outside. Su Jingxing did not need to speed up and could just walk out.

On the shore on the east side of Copper Lake, Su Jingxing walked out of the void.

He was in no hurry to take action. He released his perception and discovered that there were many devils hiding around.

There were beasts on the mountain and aquatic creatures in the lake.

These devils had most likely locked onto the entrance because they were attracted by the giant flaming dragon.

Moreover, the Red Wyrm and Su Jingxing had entered the void one after another and disappeared.

Any devil with normal intelligence would understand that the location of the entrance was unusual.

Unfortunately, they were not fast enough and could not find the entrance to the Red Dragon Cave Abode.

They could only guard outside and wait for an opportunity.

Now that Su Jingxing was out, this opportunity had finally come!

Roar!

Roar!

“Catch him!”

A series of shouts and roars suddenly sounded from the mountain and in the water.

The calm atmosphere by the lake was instantly broken.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Swish! Swish! Swish!

One by one, the first and second-realm devils of various sizes pounced at Su Jingxing as they shouted.

Thick devilish energy instantly exploded in the air and swept out.

“Firmament——Nirvana Palm!”
