Chapter 818: Lava


Although Han Li’s plan seemed reasonable, it wasn’t guaranteed that the poison would have any effect . As a matter of fact, Han Li wasn’t completely certain of the poison itself . After all, everything he knew of the Ten Supreme Poisons was from records . He hadn’t personally experienced them .

A moment later, any doubts the three cultivators possessed were completely banished . When the huge ape puppets had flown a hundred meters, the previously still mountain was filled with bewildered screams .

As soon as Han Li heard them, he suddenly felt the Qi and blood in his body roil while his minded cloud over; he nearly fell from the sky . In his alarm, he hastily circulated the entirety of the spiritual Qi in his body and stopped himself from falling . He then turned his head to look at his party members with his Brightsight Eyes . They weren’t in any better shape and their bodies also shook several times before they managed to recover .

Han Li frowned, overwhelmed with shock . That strange scream attack hadn’t targeted his spiritual sense but the Qi that the body possessed . Despite how powerful his spiritual sense was, it had no method of blocking this scream attack . It came as a surprise to him that the Purple-lined Scorpions possessed this innate ability . It was clear to see that the records didn’t describe everything .

As Han Li was mulling over what had happened, he saw ten or so purple-black streaks shoot out from the mountain and chase after the huge ape puppets in a blur . In that moment, Han Li hastily ordered the puppets to fly at their greatest speed and tear through the sky in streaks of white light .

Although it was only for an instant, Han Li was able to roughly see the purple-black streaks . In addition to their astonishing three-meter-long bodies, they had a pair of transparent wings and a purple-black carapace that shined with light . Aside from their size and wings, they appeared completely the same as an ordinary scorpion .

The scorpion at the very front of the swarm was twice as large as the others, appearing to be their leader . With the dreadful appearance of yellow mist trailing from its mouth, Han Li couldn’t help but stare at it .

The huge apes were clearly slower than the purple insects, but they had a head start . They drew the Purple-lined Scorpions away for the time being and soon became black dots in the distance .

Soon, Han Li loudly shouted, “Go! Some of the puppets have already been caught in restrictions . They will be overtaken soon . ” As soon as that was said, Han Li ceased concealing himself and shot forward, streaking through the air . His other two party members immediately set out after him, making their way to the mountaintop .

All three knew that if they didn’t rush past the mountain in this instant, it would be extremely troublesome given the speed of the Purple-lined Scorpions . Fortunately, they all moved quickly . Even without using the Thunderstorm Wings, Han Li was able to fly towards the mountain in the blink of an eye with his deeper cultivation .

At that moment, he felt the connections to his ape puppets disappear one by one . Dread filling his heart, Han Li sped past the scorpions’ nest .



When the cultivators made it to the other side of the mountain, they felt a wave of relief .

Marquis Nanlong smiled and said, “Fortunately, thanks to Brother Han’s Jadedove Poison and his puppets, we were able to make it past that trial . It would’ve been quite a hassle otherwise . ”


Han Li looked at Marquis Nanlong and calmly said, “It was nothing . It was only a matter of chance . ” Han Li skirted over the matter, knowing that the Jadedove Poison was originally something that Master Cang Kun had left behind .

Lu Weiying also complimented Han Li for easily resolving the matter . Han Li smiled and muttered a few words in response before heading on their way .

After continuing on for half a day without anything else happening, the temperature in the air began to rise .

The mountain ridge also became verdant as they continued forward, a stark contrast to the barren land that had surrounded them before .



Eventually, they arrived at a point where even the mountain rocks had become a fire-red color . A few of the nearby mountains even had cracks glowing with lava scattered across them that released burning air and grey ash like a prison of scorching earth .

Han Li and Lu Weiying revealed surprise upon seeing this, but Marquis Nanlong remained calm as he knew that they hadn’t deviated from the path .

Not long after, the three arrived at a huge red mountain that was over ten kilometers tall . Most of the mountain was covered in glowing red clouds and was surrounded by much smaller mountains, making it appear far more prominent .

When Marquis Nanlong saw the mountain, he stopped flying and the light surrounding him vanished . Han Li and the old man glanced at each other with excitement, knowing that they had arrived .

Marquis Nanlong let out a long sigh and he turned around, saying, “Fellow Daoists, there is a cave below the mountain, which is the nest of the Ancient Flame Toad and where the ancient cultivator remains reside . It is said that the creature is powerful . Let’s talk about how we should deal with it . ”

“Below the mountain?” Han Li raised his brow when he heard this and he soon spread out his spiritual sense . As expected, there was a huge fire-red cave inside the mountain that occasionally released waves of burning winds . Fearing that any further prying would alert the flame toad within, Han Li withdrew his spiritual sense .

Lu Weiying quickly said, “What is there to discuss? Fellow Daoist Han will take charge with his ice attribute techniques and we will provide support in slaying the flame toad . ”

“Brother Lu, this matter isn’t so simple . According to Cang Kun’s records, the Ancient Flame Toad’s nest is half submerged in lava . The beast will be able to flee into the lava when it is injured and quickly recover . Additionally, we will not have the advantage in that environment . Our best plan of action would be to place down a spell formation and draw the toad out of its nest . I have prepared an ice-attribute spell formation precisely for this reason . ”

Lu Weiying raised no objections after hearing the Marquis and Han Li didn’t find anything amiss about it either . With their plan of attack decided, they began to make preparations . In addition to Marquis Nanlong’s formation, Han Li also placed down his own spell formations to deal with any unexpected occurrences .

With that done, the cultivators concealed themselves as they waited for Han Li to lure the flame toad out of its cave .

Han Li slapped his storage pouch and took out his remaining white wolf puppet . He then sat down near the edge of the spell formation and sent the puppet into the mountain cave .
