Rushing to the Snake Cave
Do you think Badun can survive on its resilience and genetic strength?
"I can't tell!"
Can he use Dingkui?
"There's probably about a 10% chance!"
The salty sea breeze blew against his body, and bursts of Law Power light washed over Zhang Xuezhou.
He had been in contact with Ding Kui for far too long. The Grain Avoidance Instruction could not reduce his vitality to zero, and the actions of walking and maneuvering the small boat inevitably required his body to exert its strength, causing considerable damage to his body.
This type of injury is not a trauma involving internal or external bleeding, but rather a disruption of bodily functions, making it difficult to treat with Supreme Purity True Technique.
Zhang Xuezhou felt that his body was like egg white that had been boiled into egg white, and could only repair and replace itself through the body's own renewal.
"This thing is so dangerous, you should have just given up on it!"
Ren Yisheng initially had his eye on getting benefits from Montes Badun, but after Zhang Xuezhou shared his feelings, he felt that Zhang Xuezhou shouldn't have gotten involved in this trouble.
"Collisions are probably inevitable in the future, so it's always good to plan ahead!"
Zhang Xuezhou pondered what Xu Lu had said and realized that although Qin Meng was powerful, the higher one's rank and strength, the greater the chance of encountering him.
Compared to suffering later, he would definitely seize this rare opportunity.
As for how Badun will settle Ding Kui, and whether he will be tracked down by Hu Yu, that's all Badun's business.
Zhang Xuezhou had acquired valuable treasures before, and he knew very well that the higher the level of the treasure, the harder it was to possess, and the conditions for using it were extremely demanding.
Zhang Xuezhou believes that Badun has a 10% chance of winning the title. This judgment is based on the premise that the opponent may be a member of the Celestial Craftsmen. If the Celestial Craftsmen is someone else, Badun will inevitably end up with nothing and may even bring disaster upon himself.
"These fire meteor creatures are ridiculously powerful!"
Ren Yisheng pondered the fire meteor creatures he knew, finding them increasingly troublesome.
Leaving aside Ding Kui's abilities to warn, heal, and deprive people of their five senses, just the fact that Hu Yu and Hu Hao can develop ferocious beast groups and are capable of flight and transformation makes them difficult to guard against.
Compared to the Fire Meteor Creatures, they were inferior in both Gene Sequence and genetic weapons. Some highly lethal genetic weapons looked like toys when facing high-sequence creatures.
What do you want to do right now?
"I want to go to the Snake Cave to find the Qin Meng Secret Stone!"
Ren Yisheng asked in a low voice, and Zhang Xuezhou responded with a pale face.
The injuries he suffered could either be treated with X464's advanced medical technology, or he could only pin his hopes on the Qin Meng Secret Stone in the Snake Cave.
It's clear that Qin Meng can't offer Zhang Xuezhou high-end terms, so his current choice is becoming increasingly limited.
"Let's go now!"
Ren Yisheng reached out and grabbed Zhang Xuezhou, then ran directly towards the supply truck in Badun.
Zhang Xuezhou's physical condition made it difficult for him to maintain long-distance flights, so heavy trucks remained the best mode of transportation.
Compared to speeding straight ahead regardless of terrain, heavy trucks are not only slower but also have longer journeys, though they do not require physical exertion.
"You suspect that Ding Kui possesses domain-specific properties?"
The straight route to the snake den is a thousand miles, while relying on vehicles and other means of transportation requires traversing more than two thousand miles.
Even if you drive day and night without encountering any unexpected events, it would still take a whole day to reach the area where the snake cave is located.
Zhang Xuezhou took a moment to adjust, feeling his somewhat numb body. He made the rare use of voluntary sleep to recover.
He didn't get up until the scorching midday sun hit him, his body aching all over.
The aftereffects were so obvious that Zhang Xuezhou had to seriously consider everything about Ding Kui, and from time to time discuss and verify them with Ren Yisheng.
"I think Dingkui should be considered a treasure of its kind!"
Zhang Xuezhou had no prior knowledge of the field.
Until he encountered Dingkui, a treasure with area-of-effect destructive power.
Regardless of gender, strength, or protective gear, it directly suppresses all living beings.
This is similar to the area-of-effect strikes of spiritual intimidation and realm pressure, but Ding Kui used light to demonstrate this power, which Zhang Xuezhou had previously found difficult to perceive directly.
"But I feel that what you're describing as Dingkui is more like radioactive damage caused by special materials," Ren Yisheng replied solemnly.
"The radioactivity of materials is uncontrollable, and the range of radiation is limited, while Dingkui is controllable. The instantaneous impact can affect a radius of ten miles. This may be the limit of Hu Yu's use of Dingkui, but not the limit of Dingkui itself," Zhang Xuezhou corrected. "Moreover, Dingkui is not only capable of destruction, but it also has the ability to guard and protect, and it can also heal. The injuries you inflicted on the white dragon were healed in just one night. This is something that radioactive materials cannot do!"
"This is outrageous."
"I think it's outrageous too!"
If Zhang Xuezhou had any similar insights, he had only seen Yuanshi Tianzun display similar abilities in Zixiao Palace.
Compared to Ding Kui's power, Zhang Xuezhou felt that the abilities displayed by Yuanshi Tianzun were even more outrageous.
This meant that Zhang Xuezhou wouldn't be confused by the treasure just because he had seen Ding Kui. He had also heard about the evolution of cultivators in another world and knew very well that Law Treasure without a continuous source would inevitably be eliminated, and in the end, the cultivator's own abilities would still dominate.
This made Zhang Xuezhou think more about whether he could learn from Ding Kui, since the cultivators in the other world also imitated treasures to create techniques that were slightly weaker.
He and Ren Yisheng discussed the potential domains that Dingkui might possess, but how to imitate and achieve one's own domain was a difficult task.
Between the two, only mental deterrence is close to the range of the domain's attack. However, Ren Yisheng's control is derived from deterrence and suppression. Returning to the deterrence and suppression of the Dragon Elephant Combat Technique would be a step backward. Moreover, Ren Yisheng's deterrence is powerless when facing Sequence Holder with resistance layers.
"If there's anyone leading the Ninth Sequence, you should be among them!"
Zhang Xuezhou recounted the story of Ding Kui and explained his own understanding, leaving Ren Yisheng feeling like he couldn't swallow this food that had been fed to him.
He was well aware that Zhang Xuezhou expected him to realize the domain power defined in the sequence, but Ren Yisheng found that he had no chance of doing so.
Ren Yisheng is currently struggling to control his mental storm, making it difficult for him to sustain prolonged combat. He is clearly still a long way from reaching the level of the Ninth Sequence.
It seems that Zhang Xuezhou is still in the Fourth Sequence. Ren Yisheng believes that as long as Zhang Xuezhou can solve the problem of weak gene catalyst, it would not be surprising if he catches up with or surpasses him in the sequence in the future.
He repeatedly urged Zhang Xuezhou to expedite the Gene Sequence, which left Zhang Xuezhou with no choice but to nod in agreement.
Without firsthand experience, it's difficult to see through the illusion; conversely, those who have truly witnessed it can readily understand.
As long as there are breakthroughs in the sequence of each country, the number of Sequence Holder at the same level will continue to increase. Ren Yisheng had no way to advance, and he obviously wanted to see what Zhang Xuezhou might achieve in the future, so as to truly benefit himself.
"We're not far from the snake pit!"
Ren Yisheng, who can drive at breakneck speed, possesses a level of mental strength that far surpasses that of ordinary people in terms of perception, giving him a significant advantage in controlling vehicles and other machines.
The heavy truck arrived at the Snake Cave area mountains two hours earlier than Zhang Xuezhou had anticipated.
Hearing Ren Yisheng's reminder, he couldn't help but shake his numb and aching body, and quickly looked at the chaotic area.
A day and a half had passed, and Zhang Xuezhou found it difficult to guess the current situation of the snake pit.
