Starting My Cultivation With Time Management-Chapter 880 - 20 Blood Puppet and Ancient Dragon

Just as they turned a corner, Luo Yan suddenly shouted:

“Be careful!”

Shi Liuli’s practical experience was still somewhat lacking, upon hearing “be careful”, her first reaction was not to summon her Flying Sword Treasure to prepare for attack, but to retreat subconsciously.

This retreat allowed an attack to come from the shadows, aiming straight for her heart.

Luo Yan, remaining calm in the face of danger, pointed with his hand, and brought down the Heaven-overturning Seal, instantly smashing the attacker back into the shadow.

On closer examination, the one that launched the attack seemed to be a large mass of… slime?

This name was too out of context, but smashed by the Heaven-overturning Seal in such a way, the attacker was left only as a pile of blood-red mud, truly unable to discern its shape and contours.

“Husband has smashed it too much.” Shi Liuli observed from the side, “There are no bone fragments, it seems to be made purely of blood and soft tissues.”

“Indeed.” Luo Yan scanned carefully for a moment and confidently said, “It should be a creation of some kind of sinister blood art.”

“Creation?” Shi Liuli said in surprise.

“Liuli, have you ever heard of the Dragon Puppet?” Luo Yan asked.

“Hmm, I have heard something about it,” Shi Liuli replied, “Legend says the Jiaolong clan has profound research in the realm of bloodlines, able to refine various creatures into their puppets, and then perform all kinds of unnatural modifications.”

“Exactly.” Luo Yan added, “The art of the Dragon Puppet, though initiated with flesh and blood, mostly utilizes flesh puppets, after all, blood contains racial traits’ origin essence, which affects the stability of the Dragon Puppet art.”

“What we are facing now, should be one of the more peculiar blood puppets in the art of Dragon Puppet.”

“I see.” Shi Liuli nodded, “Since there is the existence of blood puppets, it definitely proves there are dragons in the prisoner’s well.”

“The blood of blood puppets has contaminating properties,” Luo Yan continued, “One blood puppet is often easy to handle, just be careful not to get splashed by its blood.”

“What if there are a large number of blood puppets?” Shi Liuli looked ahead.

In front of them, the corridor was already filled with densely packed blood puppets.

Although these creatures had human-like forms, each one was skinless with muscles exposed, and blood vessels and meridians overtly visible, making them incredibly horrifying and chilling.

Shi Liuli quickly formed a hand seal and activated the Southern Dipper Galaxy Secret Technique, sending the river water of the Milky Way rushing forward.

Unexpectedly, these blood puppets dissolved upon contact with water, turning into numerous blood streams, swiftly rolling upstream along the river towards the unprepared Shi Liuli.

“A minor skill of carving insects, showing off one’s slight skill before an expert!” Luo Yan sneered and spurred the Five Elements Divine Light, sweeping it across the incoming blood water, instantly washing and obliterating it completely.

“Husband,” Shi Liuli calmly said, “we are probably being monitored.”

“Hmm.” Luo Yan also nodded.

Just after a blood puppet stealthily attacked Shi Liuli and was severely injured by the Heaven-overturning Seal, these blood puppets used the Blood Transformation Art that did not fear physical attacks. What else could it be if not someone directing these with a targeted strategy from behind the scenes?

But it doesn’t matter now. With Liuli’s Art Calculation ability and my overwhelming strength, no matter how you struggle, it’s useless!

As the two continued deeper, no more blood puppets appeared; it seemed that their opponents had realized that these inferior creations, no matter how many, could not possibly be a match for Luo Yan.

Instead, a faint blood fog became denser in the air, filled with a sickeningly sweet scent.

“It’s poisonous,” Luo Yan suddenly said.

“Is it?” Shi Liuli frowned and asked.

In this perilous situation, she continued to perform divination with a copper coin in her hand, but the Hexagram showed no immediate danger.

“If there were no toxins, why bother to release this blood fog?” Luo Yan confidently said, “It must be poisonous!”

He pulled out a Magical Treasure from his Heavenly Craft hundred-treasure bag, a leaf fan, infused it with True Yuan, and swung it forward, generating a fierce wind that dispersed the blood fog completely.

Whatever tricks you have, bring them all out quickly!

The opponent seemed to be running out of options and then sent a large number of blood puppets to launch suicidal attacks, full of ambushes, stealth attacks, and pincer movements, using all kinds of extreme measures.

If it had only been Shi Liuli, she might likely have been caught in the enemy’s tricks, but what experience does Luo Yan lack? Just a sweep of his gaze revealed any schemes, as his eyes could see through everything and leave nothing concealed.

Thus, the two of them finally arrived at a deep underground location.

This place was a huge cavern, very similar in style to the underwater cavern found in the Shennongjia Secret Realm previously.

A languid Jiaolong, with its lower half trapped in the ground, only exposed its upper body outside, was listlessly playing with a human corpse.

As Luo Yan and Shi Liuli entered the cavern, they saw the Jiaolong flick its claw, tossing the corpse aside, and said:

This 𝓬ontent is taken from fгeewebnovёl.co𝙢.

“Two little human children, to have made it here shows you have some strength.”

“Tell me, what are you here for?”

Shi Liuli slightly frowned and looked towards the distant corpse, wondering if this demon, given its heedless killing, could be bluffing in saying this.

Luo Yan, however, with his keen sight, noticed many bits of dirt on the body and understood it to be a freshly buried corpse from the Mass Burial Mound outside, which the ancient dragon had somehow brought down to play with.

He stepped forward and said aloud:

“We heard that there is a way to achieve Great Perfection in the Golden Core Realm here, and my spouse and I have specifically come to seek it out.”
