A valley with passages extending in all directions occasionally rang with deafening explosions. After a while, the explosions died down.
Inside the valley, Su Yuntao, Venerable Ten Thousand Poisons, and Lin Qingyu were discussing something. Two pools of black blood lay on the ground, giving off a foul, nauseating stench, while the earth bore obvious signs of corrosion.
"Daoist Zhang, your poison arts are becoming more and more formidable. Even a Seventh Order Demon Beast isn't your match."
Su Yuntao praised him.
"Save the pleasantries. We should hurry and kill those two Wind-Fire Lions, get our hands on the Seven-Star Jade Zhi, and leave this place as soon as possible. There are plenty of fierce beasts and Poisonous Insects here. I heard that Xuanfeng Zhenjun, one of the Nine Disciples of Xuanqing, encountered an Ancient Giant and was seriously wounded by it. My poison arts are no problem against ordinary Seventh Order Demon Beasts, but they won't be enough against an Ancient Giant."
Venerable Ten Thousand Poisons urged them on. Their main purpose in coming to the Barren Wilds this time was to obtain the Seven-Colored Jade Zhi.
Seven-Star Jade Zhi that was less than ten thousand years old was nothing special. Seven-Star Jade Zhi that was over thirty thousand years old could increase a Demon Beast's chances of undergoing Transformation. The older it was, the better the effect, making it remarkably similar to the Nine Radiance Dragon Beard Fruit.
A Demon Beast taking Seven-Star Jade Zhi could increase its chances of undergoing Transformation, but that did not mean it would definitely transform after consuming it.
Su Yuntao nodded and was just about to say something when he sensed something with his divine sense. His brows furrowed.
"Not good, Poisonous Insects are coming. They're Human-faced Scorpions!"
Su Yuntao's expression changed.
