Chapter 1415 Blood Demon Body
"Okay! No problem!" After a brief discussion with the Red Spirit Demon King, Xiao Mian readily agreed to the other party's request: "Everyone! Have a good trip!"
As he spoke, the Huofu had already made way for the Blood River Passage.
The Blood Treasure Ship, however, did not sail over at the first opportunity.
However, the passage guarded by the Huofu was the only correct route.
If the Blood Treasure Ship did not move forward, it would have to retreat - retreating would lead it deeper into the Blood River Formation!
The Huofu went deep into the Blood River Formation to save people.
The Blood Treasure Ship only wanted to escape from the Blood River Formation as soon as possible!
After a moment of silence, the Blood Treasure Ship finally sailed over slowly.
Soon, the two treasure ships passed by each other...
The Blood Treasure Ship, which was ranked in the Xuan level, was also very large - the Xuan level treasure ship Lingchuan in Nanyue State back then was a behemoth that shocked Xiao Mian!
But in front of the more powerful Huofu, the Blood Treasure Ship was outclassed.
When the Blood Treasure Ship was halfway to the Huofu, a blood light shot up from the Huofu, like a blood chain, wrapping around the Blood Treasure Ship.
The Blood-clothed female cultivator standing on the bow of the Blood Treasure Ship sighed and flew up.
The two blood lights collided between the Huofu and the Blood Treasure Ship.
Then, the two blood lights merged together and shot towards the Huofu...
The blood light fell on the bow of the Huofu, revealing the appearance of the Red Spirit Demon King - the Blood-clothed female cultivator had become a defeated opponent of the Red Spirit Demon King!
The Blood-clothed female cultivator, like Blood Poppy, was only at the initial stage of the Nascent Soul.
The Red Spirit Demon King was an eighth-level transformed demon.
Moreover, the Blood-clothed female cultivator was already in a state of great difficulty, and faced with the attack of the Red Spirit Demon King, there was no room for her to fight back...
But in this way, the Blood Treasure Ship did not leave.
Although the Red Spirit Demon King only captured the Blood-robed Female Cultivator, he did not take any action towards the Blood-colored Treasure Ship. Even the Huofu Ship was watching the situation.
The Blood-colored Treasure Ship was crowded with people.
"Central Earth Cultivator! Why did you betray and hurt my leader?"
"My fellow Blood Shadow Killers! Please be careful! We did not hurt your leader, but you did! Think about it carefully..."
The Red Spirit Demon King said disdainfully.
Xiao Mian stood at the bow of the Huofu Ship, looking at the Blood-robed Female Cultivator's situation.
With a glance of his Spirit-seeking Eyes, Xiao Mian had a clear view of the Blood-robed Female Cultivator's situation.
Sure enough!
The Blood-robed Female Cultivator had the Blood Evil Qi entering her body, and her flesh and bones had already been corroded...
Not to mention fighting the Red Spirit Demon King, it was already a miracle that she could stand there!
Before that, Xiao Mian had some doubts about the Blood-robed Female Cultivator's situation.
Now seeing that the Blood Shadow Killer of the Blood Treasure Ship knew nothing about the Blood Clothes Female Cultivator, Xiao Mian's suspicion grew stronger.
Glancing at the Blood Clothes Female Cultivator, Xiao Mian snorted coldly.
"Blood Shadow Killer, although he is a bandit, he is also quite famous for his chivalry. Since you know that there are also ways to thieves, I wonder if you have heard of: When the master is worried, the minister is humiliated, and when the master is humiliated, the minister dies?"
"You! You coerced my master, and you want to intimidate us?"
"Let me ask you: How did you, a mere Xuan-level treasure ship, stay safe and sound in the Blood River formation? On the contrary, your leader was invaded by the blood evil spirit and reached a point where it was difficult to recover - do you know this?"
"What...what!?"
A shout was raised on the Blood Treasure Ship...
"Hmph! The reason why you can survive until now is that every time you pass through the tributaries of the Blood River, you let her spy on the situation first and then make a decision?"
"This...this is not forced by us! She volunteered..."
Halfway through, there was silence on the Blood Treasure Ship.
Voluntary?
Who would voluntarily give up his life?
Obviously, things were just as Xiao Mian guessed.
Because the safety of the Blood River branch could not be determined, the Blood-clothed female cultivator actually used herself as bait and passed through the Blood River first to check whether it was safe.
In this way, the Blood-colored Treasure Ship was certainly saved.
But the Blood-clothed female cultivator was on the verge of death...
Even if Xiao Mian and Huo Fuhao let each other go, it was still unknown whether they could successfully escape the Blood River formation.
Now that the Blood-clothed female cultivator was on Huo Fuhao, the Blood-colored Treasure Ship was in a dilemma.
In the end, Huo Fuhao cleared a passage and towed the Blood-colored Treasure Ship over.
Although the Earth-level Treasure Ship was inferior to the Heaven-level Treasure Ship, it was already a rare mobile fortress and aerial fortress in the cultivation world.
Therefore, there were many empty areas on the Earth-level Treasure Ship to carry other small treasure ships or flying boats. If necessary, other treasure ships or flying boats could be taken in.
In other words, the Blood-colored Treasure Ship was captured by Huo Fuhao!
While arranging the blood-colored treasure ship and the blood-shadow killers on it, Xiao Mian, after obtaining the consent of the Red Spirit Demon King, faced the blood-clothed female cultivator alone.
Watching Xiao Mian and the blood-clothed female cultivator enter the wing room, the Red Spirit Demon King remained calm.
At this time, General Xuan Ling came over.
"Have you told him about that matter?"
"I have mentioned it to him, and he said he remembered it!" After bowing, General Xuan Ling asked softly: "Can he really do that?"
"Of course not now! But as long as he doesn't die, Nanyuezhou will be his world in the future. As long as he remembers it, there will always be hope of success!" Looking at the bloody evil spirits outside the Huofu, the Red Spirit Demon King sighed: "This boy should not be underestimated! I finally understand why His Highness the Demon King paid attention to him before leaving!"
"Your Highness the Demon King!?"
"You can withdraw! Let's see how he can turn the tide!"
"...Yes!"
Putting aside the secret discussion between the Red Spirit Demon King and General Xuanling, let's talk about Xiao Mian.
After entering the wing room, Xiao Mian pointed at the blood-clothed female cultivator without saying a word.
Although the blood-clothed female cultivator was at the level of the Nascent Soul Patriarch, she had been seriously injured in order to protect the blood-colored treasure ship from the erosion of the blood-colored evil spirit. After that, she was subdued by the Red Spirit Demon King. Although she was not injured, she did not have the strength that a Nascent Soul Patriarch should have.
Moreover, even if it was the Nascent Soul Patriarch in his prime, what was there to fear for Xiao Mian?
This finger pointed out all the retreat routes of the Blood-robed Female Cultivator.
Therefore, this finger hit the Blood-robed Female Cultivator's vital point on the forehead.
The thick blood evil energy flowed through Xiao Mian's fingertips...
The Blood-robed Female Cultivator had originally closed her eyes and waited for death.
But soon, she suddenly opened her eyes and stared at Xiao Mian.
It turned out that Xiao Mian's finger did not inject the blood evil energy into the female cultivator's body, but used himself as bait to extract a large amount of blood evil energy from the female cultivator's body.
These blood evil energies are extremely poisonous to ordinary cultivators.
But for Xiao Mian, who practiced the Blood Evil Finger, they are excellent spiritual materials.
It can not only collect blood evil energy, but also save the Blood-robed Female Cultivator, and then deceive the other party's trust, why not do it?
Moreover, Xiao Mian still has something to discuss with the Blood-robed Female Cultivator.
After a long time, Xiao Mian's finger left the other party's forehead.
"You..."
"The descendant of the Blood Demon! My identity doesn't need to be revealed, right?" Xiao Mian spoke vaguely, "If the Blood Spirit Root is exposed, the whole world will punish it!"
"You are..., it's really you!? But how do you know..."
"The Blood Sea was saved by me. Now, fellow Daoist Blood Poppy and the Blood Shadow Killing Bandits on and off the Blood Sea are resting outside the Blood River Formation!"
In order to gain the trust of the Blood Clothes Female Cultivator, Xiao Mian tried his best to flatter himself.
According to what Blood Poppy said, Ni Dongliu agreed to find the Blood Shadow and Blood Killing, two Xuan-level treasure ships, and rescue these descendants of the Blood Demon.
But the Blood River Formation is so vast, how can Ni Dongliu save them just by saying so?
The Blood Clothes Female Cultivator and the Blood Treasure Ship are in such a predicament, which means that they have not met Ni Dongliu, so Xiao Mian's lies cannot be exposed!
And because of the blood poppy mixed in, it was half true and half false, seemingly true and not true...
The blood-clothed female cultivator had already encountered a life-and-death crisis, and had previously witnessed Xiao Mian's amazing ability to play with the blood evil spirit in his hands, so she subconsciously believed it.
Let me ask, if he was not the descendant of the blood demon, how could he save himself from the dilemma?
Of course, taking a step back: it is not impossible to regard Xiao Mian as the descendant of the blood demon!
After successfully deceiving the blood-clothed female cultivator's trust, Xiao Mian began to find out the truth about the other party.
For example, this blood-clothed female cultivator is called Xue Fusu.
For another example, the blood-colored treasure ship is the Blood Shadow.
As for the matter of risking his life to protect the Blood Shadow, Xue Fusu also told the whole story.
"Xue Fusu! Even if you are the descendant of the blood demon and have mastered some of the blood demon inheritance, it is not easy to persist to this point, right?"
"This..."
"Blood Demon Body!"
With a chuckle, Xiao Mian revealed Xue Fusu's last trump card.
It turns out that this Xue Fusu is not only a descendant of the Blood Demon, but also a Blood Demon Body.
The Blood Demon Body is a powerful existence that is known as one of the three major demon bodies along with the Annihilation Demon Body and the Destruction Demon Body. If not for this, Xue Fusu would have died long ago.
Seeing that nothing could be hidden from Xiao Mian, Xue Fusu chose to acquiesce.
"Xue Fusu! Now you want to go out, and we want to go in. If we go our separate ways, we will certainly be in danger, and you will definitely be in danger! It's better for us to cooperate. You tell me about your previous experience in the Blood River Array, and help us break through the Blood River Array. I guarantee that your Blood Demon's descendants will be safe and not harmed!"
"I can tell you about my previous experience in the Blood River Array! Even if I stay to help you find the Middle-earth monks, it's fine. But how can you guarantee that my Blood Shadow ship will not be harmed? It's not that I underestimate you! Although you are the descendant of the Blood Demon, you haven't condensed the infant after all. Will the demon king really obey you?"
"You don't have to worry about that! Separation or reunion, it can be decided with one word!"
"..."
Xue Fusu fell into silence.
Xiao Mian's promise is not guaranteed at all.
But if he doesn't believe Xiao Mian, Xue Fusu has no other way.
Believe in Xiao Mian, there may be a glimmer of hope; don't believe in Xiao Mian, you will die!
After a long time, Xue Fusu nodded.
"Okay! I want you to do this, this, this, this..."
At that moment, Xiao Mian discussed with Xue Fusu and left the wing room.
With the Blood Shadow Killer Bandits on the Blood Shadow as hostages, Xue Fusu was doomed.
If Xue Fusu didn't care about these Blood Shadow Killers, he wouldn't have to fight so hard before.
Therefore, Xiao Mian was not worried about Xue Fusu's attitude.
After that, Huo Fu waited quietly in front of the fifth branch of the Blood River.
According to Zhen Wuquan's calculations, the moment of change of the Blood River formation finally came.
Xue Fusu, with a bloody robe, stood proudly at the bow.
Taking a deep breath, Xue Fusu flew up and rushed to the branch of the blood river.
This was the task Xiao Mian gave to Xue Fusu - as before, through Xue Fusu's personal test, to determine which of the six branches was right and which was wrong.
If Xue Fusu entered the wrong branch, she would withdraw immediately.
If Xue Fusu disappeared, it meant that the branch was the right one.
After the first charge, Xue Fusu quickly returned. The bloody robe on Xue Fusu's body seemed to be getting thicker, and even his pupils were full of blood.
Obviously, Xue Fusu's first charge was in the wrong direction.
Without stopping, Xue Fusu charged for the second time, but he stumbled again.
After several attempts, it was not until the fifth time that Xue Fusu disappeared for a long time.
At the bow of the Huofu, Xiao Mian and the Red Spirit Demon King looked at each other.
The Red Spirit Demon King waved his hand, and the Fire Blessing went full steam ahead, heading for the branch of the blood river where Xue Fusu disappeared for the fifth time.
Silently, the Fire Blessing crossed the blood river, and was safe and sound.
Xue Fusu quietly floated at the other end of the blood river and returned to the Fire Blessing.
At this time, Xue Fusu looked like a blood man...
Holding the unconscious Xue Fusu, Xiao Mian didn't bother to be polite with the Red Spirit Demon King, and sent him to the wing room to treat him.
Bloody evil spirits were extracted from Xue Fusu's body.
Gradually, Xue Fusu regained consciousness.
Opening his eyes, Xue Fusu looked at Xiao Mian with a complicated expression.
"But are you blaming me for being afraid of death? That's right! I can do the same thing you can do!" Sitting beside Xue Fusu's bed, Xiao Mian said frankly: "If the blood spirit root is exposed, the world will punish it. The identity of the blood demon's descendant is extremely sensitive, and I can't take this risk. Therefore, you must come forward to identify the true direction of the blood river formation. Of course, if you are useless, do you think there is still a place for the Blood Shadow on the Huofu?"
Xiao Mian's words were sharp and to the point. Although a little mean, they were extremely realistic.
Xue Fusu was stunned when he heard this, and after frowning slightly, he gradually let go.
That's right!
If Xiao Mian showed the ability to identify the direction of the blood river, what use would she have?
If she, Xue Fusu, was useless, what use would the Blood Shadow have?
"You should have a good rest! I have a bottle of 'Blood Spirit Pill' here, which can dissolve the fierceness in the blood evil spirit, so that you can better absorb them and strengthen yourself."
As he spoke, Xiao Mian took out a small porcelain bottle and handed it to Xue Fusu.
This Blood Spirit Pill is a secret medicine inherited from the Blood Demon Dao.
Since the demise of the Blood Demon Palace, the name of the Blood Spirit Pill has disappeared from the cultivation world.
Previously, Ni Dongliu taught Xiao Mian and others the four inheritances of the Blood Demon Dao of Dugu Jianmo through the Blood Demon Gang Demon Sword. The Blood Spirit Pill is one of the inheritances of the Blood Demon Dao.
After getting the formula of the Blood Spirit Pill, Xiao Mian secretly planned and refined it.
The purpose was to practice the Blood Demon Finger.
Now giving it to Xue Fusu is appropriate...
