Chapter 1641 Exposed
Chapter 1641: Exposed! Chapter 1641: Exposed! Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Although they were still no match for him, Ye Chen did not want to fight them rashly. Therefore, he used the Moon Dust Gauze to avoid them. Before he found the Green-eyed Demonic Snakes, he would preserve as much of his strength as possible. As Ye Chen walked around, he observed his surroundings. The plants here were affected by Yin and demonic energy, so most of them had strange shapes and dull colors. Some of them had even mutated into demonic plants. Earlier, he saw a greenish-black tree suddenly extend its branches and pierce a demonic rat that was bigger than an ox, melting its flesh and absorbing it. However, on Truth Island, the Yin and demonic energy, which was unbearable for cultivators, had no effect on Ye Chen. Firstly, his cultivation foundation and physical body was exceptionally strong. Secondly, the Gengjin energy in his body had a strong restraining effect on evil-attributed energy. Therefore, to Ye Chen, this thick grayish-black fog was basically harmless. Ye Chen suddenly thought of the Heavenly Demon Cult. If he had joined the Heavenly Demon Cult and cultivated the Demon Dao cultivation technique, his strength would definitely increase greatly if he fought with others on Truth Island. “If I were a demonic path cultivator, this place would be quite suitable for cultivation.” “Right, when will the Demonic Eye awaken? The owner of the voice behind the Demonic Eye is most likely a demon mighty expert,” Ye Chen muttered as he walked. Xiao Yao’s voice suddenly rang out. “Kid, you’re right. This place is indeed suitable for demonic path experts to cultivate, so you should keep in mind that there might be some here.” “What?” Ye Chen was shocked. Although the demonic energy here was dense, the island was dominated by all kinds of demonic beasts and plants. No matter what, demonic path cultivators were still humans. It was too dangerous to cultivate here. “If there really is a demonic path expert here,” Xiao Yao continued, “that person’s cultivation level would not be too high. Higher-level demonic path cultivators wouldn’t choose this place under normal circumstances. The ones you might encounter here will most likely be Dao Integration realm ones.” “Still, the demonic path cultivators who managed to survive here shouldn’t be too weak. Usually, these will be people on the run, so they will be quite dangerous. If they spot you, they will probably try to kill you in order to avoid having their whereabouts exposed, so be careful.” Ye Chen nodded and his expression became more serious. After walking around for half a day on the island, Ye Chen still could not find any traces of the Green-eyed Demonic Snakes. Frustrated, he asked, “Why are they so hard to find? Is there some sort of special technique needed to find them?” Xiao Yao replied, “They like to lurk around and hide, so it’s normally quite difficult to find them. Given time, you’ll stumble upon them sooner or later.” “However, there are also some tricks I can teach you. From what I’ve seen while you walked around, there are enough materials on this island to refine a kind of bewitching snake incense that is very tempting to the Green-eyed Demonic Snake. If you use it, you can probably bait them into a trap.” “Will this attract more than one?” Ye Chen asked. “Green-eyed Demonic Snakes don’t have the habit of living in groups,” Xiao Yao replied, “Moreover, they are territorial, and the incense’s range is smaller than the average size of the territories. There’s no need to worry.” Ye Chen smiled. “That’s good. I got my hands on some formation treasures from Xiao Lang’s storage ring that I can probably use to deal with them.” Xiao Yao then said, “To refine the Bewitching Snake Fragrance, you need a Dao Integration-grade Red-Tailed Demon Rat’s demonic core and a 500-year-old Blood Yin Flower. These two materials can be found on the island. Together with some of the materials you have, you should have enough to refine the Bewitching Snake Fragrance.” Ye Chen closed his eyes and recalled what he had seen on the island. He had indeed seen those two items more than once. They were considered relatively common species on Truth Island. He then headed in a certain direction. He remembered that there was a five-hundred-year-old Blood Yin Flower beside a cold pool ahead. If it were not for the powerful aura he sensed inside the cold pool, he would have plucked the Blood Yin Flower. However, in order to refine the Snake Bewitching Fragrance, Ye Chen had to fight the demonic beast in the cold pool even though he knew that it was guarding the Blood Yin Flower. At the same time, he would also be able to use the opportunity to test out how powerful the demonic beasts on this island were. Soon, Ye Chen arrived at the edge of a cold pool. The cold pool was four to five hundred meters in diameter and the surface of the pool was emitting wisps of cold air. Even with Ye Chen’s physique, he felt a chill when he approached. Ye Chen took a deep breath. With a wave of his hand, four formation disks landed nearby and created a small formation. This formation was primarily used to conceal energy fluctuations, as he was worried about attracting the attention of other demonic beasts. Ye Chen activated the formation disk and circulated his spiritual energy to activate the Moon Dust Gauze. Specks of light arose from the Moon Dust Gauze. When the specks dissipated, Ye Chen’s aura and body almost completely disappeared. He quietly approached the Blood Yin Flower, but was quite worried. The Moon Dust Gauze consumed a lot of spiritual energy upon activation. However, the concealing effect was also very obvious. At this moment, Ye Chen had already reached the edge of the pool and could feel something swimming inside. Its aura was quite powerful and seemed to be a mid-stage Dao Integration realm creature. They had arrived! Ye Chen finally reached the Blood Yin Flower. He took out a small pale golden shovel, and in an instant, scooped up the Blood Yin Flower by its roots and sealed it in a jade box. At this moment, a deafening roar suddenly rang out from the cold pool! A monster that was more than ten meters long surfaced and landed on the shore. Its blood-red eyes stared at the location where the Blood Yin Flower had originally been. Seeing that it was gone, it let out an even angrier roar. It couldn’t sense the aura of any creature, but in its anger, it started rampaging about. A bloody flame whistled out from its mouth and attacked the space around it. Ye Chen was slowly moving away from the cold pool. When the monster came ashore, he turned around and saw that the monster was actually a giant black crocodile with blood-colored patterns on its pitch-black scales. This was a Blood-Patterned Demon Crocodile! Ordinary Blood-Patterned Crocodiles were half-step Creation realm creatures once they matured. This Blood-Patterned Demon Crocodile was not yet mature, but it was not far from it. “I’ve been discovered?” Ye Chen was slightly surprised when he saw the blood-red flames shooting toward him. Given Ye Chen’s current cultivation level, he could not move quickly when using the Moon Dust Gauze. As such, he did not bother to conceal himself any longer. His figure suddenly moved as he dodged the menacing blood-red flames by a hair’s breadth. At the same time, Ye Chen’s figure was also completely exposed to the Blood-Patterned Demon Crocodile.
