Dragon-Shaped Peach

The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!

This time, the peaches weren't aimed at people; they seemed to fly aimlessly through the air, as swift as shooting stars. Qin Yi leaped up and grabbed one.

It felt soft to the touch and smelled of peaches; it really did look like a real peach. But Qin Yi knew perfectly well that this was definitely not a peach. How could there be a peach in the world that he couldn't break even with a home run? Not even the skin was broken! It couldn't be a peach from heaven either!

"This is a transformation by witchcraft," Liusu said. "It's actually refined Soul-Seizing Essence Metal, a very hard material for crafting weapons, which has been transformed into the shape of a peach."

"This doesn't seem like Illusions."

"Who told you it was Illusions? It's just how it looks. Witchcraft is good at these kinds of tricks, turning people into frogs and stuff, it's not that interesting." Liusu's voice held a hint of disdain. "Immortal Method is the real deal—it can transform into a person, transform into itself, weave clouds into clothing, and ride hurricanes as steeds. You're supposed to be someone who can write Journey to the West, and you're surprised by this little transformation?"

Qin Yi's heart skipped a beat.

But at this moment, there was no time to think about the future; the priority was to solve the problem in the pool and save Ye Ling.

"The Blood Flood Dragon in the pool was so close to the peach, yet it wasn't affected by the bewitching spell. It wasn't because its cultivation was high enough to resist, but because it was raised by the same person and possessed its own resistance," Liusu said. "But such resistance is absolutely insufficient to prevent it from eating the peach!"

Qin Yi had a plan, and holding the peach, he waited attentively.

Ye Ling knew that as he stood by the pool, he would definitely continue to try to pull the Blood Flood Dragon upwards so that Ye Ling could help.

That is the opportunity!

Sure enough, not long after, there was a loud splash, and Ye Ling was once again sprayed with blood. The dragon's head followed closely behind, almost biting Ye Ling's tail.

"Eat the peach!" Qin Yi forcefully flicked his wrist, accurately tossing the peach into the dragon's mouth.

The dragon seemed to pause, and the air seemed to freeze for a moment.

Ye Ling fell to the edge of the pool, her snake body unrecognizable, her skin torn and bleeding, mixed with the blood from the pool, turning her into a blood snake. She couldn't even open her wings, and lay limp on the ground, barely alive.

The actual battle didn't last long; from the moment she retrieved the lotus, Qin Yi changed his formation, the clash at the bottom of the pool, to the arrival of the peaches, it only took about ten breaths. In fact, the time it took Qin Yi to get the peaches and wait for them to emerge from the pool was slightly longer...

Her level was far below that of the Blood Flood Dragon. She was able to survive only because her snake body was unaffected by the blood pool and she could move around incredibly smoothly. On the contrary, the Blood Dragon's body was too big, and it was somewhat difficult to maneuver at the bottom of the pool, which was why she barely managed to avoid many fatal attacks.

If Qin Yi is unable to save her life after she leaves the pool this time, she will truly become a dead snake.

The peach's hypnotic effect also affected Ye Ling; she felt her thinking was sluggish, her mind filled with violent and rage-filled thoughts of tearing everything apart, and she really wanted to bite someone...

But I'm too tired... I'd better go to sleep...

Ye Ling fainted, and her last consciousness was of being embraced by a warm embrace.

It's like the aura emanating from Qin Yi...

Qin Yi scooped Ye Ling into his arms and immediately turned and ran. That Blood Flood Dragon had gone mad!

A gigantic dragon, tens of feet long and wider than a house, suddenly leaped into the sky from the blood pool, accompanied by a deafening roar. Blood Rain rained down from the sky, each drop of blood creating a deep crater on the ground, turning the entire area within a mile of the blood pool into a scene of utter devastation.

It went berserk...

A dragon at the peak of its transformation form, still ferocious—only a fool would fight it. Qin Yi took off running, charging once again towards the giant tree with the Array Core.

The Blood Flood Dragon roared mournfully as it hurtled towards Qin Yi. The enormous dragon's body contrasted sharply with Qin Yi's figure below, like a rat scurrying beneath a passenger plane.

"Bang!" The dragon slammed down, crashing heavily to the ground. Qin Yi rolled away, narrowly avoiding the attack. Behind him, the ground where the dragon had struck had been cratered into a huge pit, and many monsters that had been rolling around and howling in agony were now smashed into a bloody pulp.

With the power of this Blood Flood Dragon, the Demon Refining Array probably won't do much damage to it; at most, it will suffer pain but won't lose its fighting ability.

Qin Yi remained calm, rolled on the ground, and immediately lunged at the giant tree, reaching out to pry at the Array Core.

The raised meridian patterns on the ground slowly sank back down, as if they had become one with the ground.

The cacophony of wailing demons quickly subsided, and countless demons stood up, their eyes fixed intently on the Blood Flood Dragon's belly.

There are also "peaches" there that are impossible for them to digest, which still affect their thinking.

Layer upon layer of mindless demons charged fearlessly toward the Blood Flood Dragon, which was a dragon-shaped peach!

Ants can kill an elephant.

Moreover, the difference isn't as vast as that between an ant and an elephant. The lowest level here is a fully awakened spirit, and the highest level is a demon in the early or even mid-stage of the Transformation Realm. They might have already been tormented half to death by the Demon Refining Array, and individually they wouldn't be a match for the Blood Flood Dragon's attack. But what about thousands upon thousands of them?

Qin Yi once said that Minghe had no choice... If Minghe had no choice, then the Blood Flood Dragon obviously had no choice either.

The scene was filled with deafening roars and the sounds of various energies exploding and clashing, utter chaos. Qin Yi, carrying Ye Ling, turned and rolled behind the giant tree, catching his breath.

I never expected that the first level, the Sea of Skeletons, would be so easy, but the second level would be so dangerous, all because someone wanted to refine the Soaring Serpent.

I don't know if this luck is good or bad. I arrived just as the owner of this place was launching the Ten Thousand Demons Blood Sacrifice, which made the scene extremely complicated, but it seemed to be better than facing him directly.

But here's the question: what is this person doing right now? This place has been ravaged like this, even the Blood Lotus has been picked, the Blood Pool is half destroyed, and the Blood Flood Dragon has gone mad, so why doesn't he show himself?

As this thought crossed Qin Yi's mind, he didn't stop and quickly stuffed a pill into the mouth of the dying Ye Ling Serpent.

Only after stuffing it in did they realize that the blood lotus had been lying quietly in Ye Ling's mouth all along.

No wonder she remained silent the whole time.

However, this also prevented her from unleashing heavenly fire or biting, leaving her at the bottom of the pool purely to hide, without even the slightest chance to retaliate...

Qin Yi tenderly removed the blood lotus and tore off the lining of her clothes to bandage her body.

Almost no part of it was intact; the snake's body was a mess, and some wounds even exposed the bone... With such a small snake body, any deeper injury could have broken it in two.

"It was my carelessness... I should have just stopped her from going to get the Blood Lotus..."

Liusu said, "She herself wanted to take revenge on the owner of this place, and taking the lotus and leaving was the best way. You don't need to feel sorry for her; what she gained this time far outweighed her injuries."

"You mean the blood lotus? Is it beneficial to her?"

"Of course it is, and it's very useful. But we'll talk about that later. Now is not the time to think about it. The owner of this place hasn't shown up yet, most likely because he's been delayed by some important matter. Once that's done, we'll be dead for sure."

"Any suggestions?"

"Go to the other colored areas marked on the map and hide on the edge. That half-baked Witcher would never dare to go to those dangerous areas, otherwise he wouldn't be stuck in this desolate place." Liusu pondered for a moment, then continued, "Actually, I don't think this person's true strength is much higher than the Blood Flood Dragon he raises. At least he's not strong enough to kill so many monsters on his own, which is why he has to resort to scheming. Once you find a place to digest what you've learned and improve along with Ye Ling, you might be able to plan a comeback to kill him."

Qin Yi felt this made sense. After bandaging Ye Ling's injuries, he immediately wanted to leave.

Just then, a figure rolled down the hillside.

Human? Ye Ling said that one cannot take human form here. Does the presence of someone here mean that they are the master of this place?

Qin Yi immediately swung his Wolf Tooth Club.

Upon closer inspection, I was stunned.

The one rolling down the slope was a woman.

It wouldn't be so bad if she was just a woman, but the key point is that Qin Yi couldn't sense any Law Power from her at all, and she didn't even have any martial arts cultivation... She was just an ordinary person!

In that instant of hesitation, the woman had already rolled to his side, stopped by the tree trunk, her eyes closed and unconscious, clearly having already fainted.

This was a woman with a great figure, but she was dressed very conservatively, completely covered up. The style of her clothes and hair ornaments was also somewhat strange, reminding Qin Yi of some ethnic minority costumes. At this moment, her clothes were torn in many places from rolling down the road, and she looked quite disheveled.

Her face was covered in bloodstains from the rocks, and she was covered in dirt, making it impossible to see her features.

"... Great, can you assess her Law Power?"

Liusu's voice also sounded quite confused, "She really hasn't cultivated."

"Where's the Yao Qi?" Qin Yi knew that Liusu could now sense Yao Qi. The soul-nourishing effect she had received a few days ago was very good, as evidenced by her ability to help in these battles. Before, she had no strength at all.

"There's no Yao Qi either..." Liusu hesitated, unusually, somewhat unsure of herself. "My soul power is still a bit weak, after all. If she hides it well..."

Before she could finish speaking, she contradicted herself. "But she was so badly injured she fainted; she couldn't possibly have hidden it from me..."

Qin Yi stared at it blankly.

So, does that mean he's just an ordinary person who doesn't even have any cultivation skills?
