Chapter 956: Chapter 177: Strange Canyon, Massive Blood Demon Crystals! (Part 2)

When its entire body appeared, Zhou Xun finally saw its complete form clearly,

A strikingly bizarre bird, completely blood-red, with black patterns etched all over its surface, and with a form spanning more than five hundred zhang,

Its eyes were like crimson lanterns, emitting a bloodthirsty light, and its feathers were like sharp blades, shining with a metallic luster.

This giant eagle was evidently extremely displeased with Zhou Xun and his companions entering its territory, and it let out a thunderous screech, containing powerful sonic waves, sweeping toward the three on the platform.

Zhou Xun quickly formed seals with his hands, changed the spell, and instantly a blue-purple shield congealed in front of him, blocking the sonic waves outside,

Upon seeing this demon bird appear, a gentle light appeared on the body of Profound Armor Armadillo, followed by a layer of faint colored light reflecting outward,

Enveloping this demon bird,

Instantly,

The demon bird’s body sank downward, an invisible gravity pressing upon it, slowing its movements by several degrees,

As for Xiaojin, its light twisted and transformed into a cyan-gold flood dragon over six hundred zhang long,

"Roar!"

With a hiss, it swiftly turned into a golden afterimage, charging up to the demon bird, with the momentum of a claw to sever its head.

It was at this moment,

An unexpected change erupted,

A giant claw suddenly appeared at the side of the cyan-gold flood dragon, reaching for its waist,

It was another demon bird,

They were originally existing in pairs,

Two Middle-Grade Peak Tier Four demon birds, combined with their territorial advantage, no wonder they caused Zhou Xun some trouble.

"Ding!"

At that instant, the giant claw of the other demon bird fiercely grabbed the cyan-gold flood dragon, making a crisp metallic sound,

The aftermath of the collision directly dispersed the cloud mist within several hundred zhang, creating a void.

It was Xiaojin’s ’Profound Gold Body’ divine technique,

Once activated, its entire body seemed to have strengthened several times, even the Middle-Stage Nascent Soul demon bird couldn’t break its physical body.

It was the divine technique awakened during the breakthrough of Tier Four back then, extremely extraordinary.

Xiaojin, provoked by that grab, unleashed its ferocity, its tail like a whip, fiercely lashing backward, this strike carried the howling wind, even tearing the air into a visible distorted mark.

The newly appeared demon bird was clearly unprepared for Xiaojin’s rapid reaction, unable to dodge, was struck heavily on its side by the dragon’s tail.

The demon bird emitted a painful screech, its body being lashed sideways several zhang, the black patterns on its body flashing briefly, dimming somewhat,

Seeing the opportunity, Zhou Xun pointed his Thunder Sword at it,

"Go!"

The Profound Thunder Sword shot out like a purple flood dragon, in an instant reaching within more than ten zhang of the demon bird,

The demon bird sensed this, frantically flapping its wings, wanting to escape,

But at such a close distance, Zhou Xun wouldn’t let it escape easily,

The Thunder Sword circled lightly around the demon bird’s head, a head more than ten zhang in size fell with a boom,

Then a cyan light flashed past, transforming into strands of metallic threads, wrapping and controlling its demon body of several hundred zhang in layers.

The other demon bird seeing this, flapped its wings desperately, trying to escape with all its might,

After all, its companion was already dead, if it stayed, it would surely face the same fate,

It was at this time,

"Boom!"

Thunder sounded, a purple afterimage several zhang long pierced through its head,

The once invincible demon bird, died!

Afterward, it was slowly lifted by Profound Armor Armadillo, floating around the platform,

Next, Xiaojia stretched out its claw, piercing straight into the chest and abdomen of the demon bird corpse, when it came out, a palm-sized blood-red crystal lay on its palm,

"Master, look!"

With that, Xiaojia placed the crystal in front of Zhou Xun,

"This... this is..."

"Blood Demon Crystal!"

Zhou Xun looked at the blood-red transparent crystal, like a ruby, sensing the extremely familiar aura upon it,

How could he not recognize it, this was precisely a Tier Four Middle-Grade Blood Demon Crystal,

Immediately casting his gaze towards the cyan-gold flood dragon nearby,

Thus Xiaojin also retrieved, taking out a similar crystal from the chest and abdomen of the other demon bird, just with a slight size difference.

"Could it be, the ones attacking us just now weren’t actually demon beasts, but Blood Demon Generals?"

"Yet they obviously had demon bird appearances, while the Blood Demon Child he refined, though somewhat different in size, already bore human form!"

"Could it be, demon beast corpses could also be refined into Blood Demon Children?"

Zhou Xun couldn’t help but be shocked by his own conjecture,

But, since the corpses of Human Race Cultivators could serve as refining materials for Blood Demon Children, why not demon beasts,

Moreover, their bodies are even stronger.

At the same time, he also had a slight suspicion about the owner of this relic,

It must be quite closely related to the "Blood Yin Scripture" he possessed!

"Hopefully, the upcoming journey can confirm my guess!"

Upon this thought, Zhou Xun slapped the Blood Demon Bag at his waist, five spiritual lights flew out, transforming into five towering Blood Demon Generals,

It was indeed Jia Yi and Jia Wu among them.

Once they emerged, they showed extreme joy, even transmitting a wave of delight equally,

Observing their state, they appeared extremely comfortable, as if being... like a fish in water!

Seeing this, Zhou Xun took out the two Blood Demon Crystals from earlier,

Sensing this unique aura, Jia Yi and Jia Wu instantly became excited, transmitting a wave of yearning consciousness,

Then Zhou Xun casually tossed the two Blood Demon Crystals over to them, now that they were at the Tier Four Low-Grade level,

These two Blood Demon Crystals were just right to accelerate their evolution.

If they could advance to the Tier Four Middle-Grade, a sure killer move would be added to his arsenal.

Retrieving Jia Yi and Jia Wu back into the Blood Demon Bag,

Looking at the boundless cloud mist ahead, Zhou Xun couldn’t help but feel a touch of anticipation,

"If I can hunt more ’Blood Demon... Beasts’, Jia Yi and Jia Wu’s promotion to the Tier Four High-Grade Blood Demon Crystal would certainly be enough!"

"Let’s move on," Zhou Xun transmitted to Xiaojin and Xiaojia, the two beasts understood, earlier Jia Yi and the others’ performance,

They were already aware of Zhou Xun’s intentions,

Naturally, it was to hunt ’Blood Demon Beasts’ to obtain Blood Demon Crystals.

Xiaojin once again transformed into human form, following closely behind Zhou Xun along with Xiaojia.

The three cautiously continued downward, as the altitude decreased, the concentration of Spiritual Qi became even richer,

Almost tangible, breathing in gently, one could feel the Spiritual Power joyfully circulating within the body.

However, the surrounding cloud mist also became denser, visibility reduced to less than ten zhang, the range of Divine Sense probing compressed to around two hundred zhang.

Descending another two thousand zhang, Zhou Xun sharply detected the surrounding Spiritual Power fluctuations turning unusually chaotic. Feeling joyous, he signaled to Xiaojin and Xiaojia to be ready for combat.

It was then that a low roaring sound came from below, filled with fierce and bloodthirsty aura.

Next, a gigantic demon beast slowly emerged from the cloud mist.

This creature resembled a mythical creature, its body burning with eerie black flames, its scales emitted cold glows, each as large as a millstone.

Its eyes were like two blood-red flames, emitting a terrifying light, each of its four thick legs like huge stone pillars, making muffled sounds as they pressed the air.

"Well well well, yet another Tier Four Middle-Grade Blood Demon Crystal delivered!"

Seeing the situation, Xiaojia activated ’Thousand Layers of Profound Light’, a yellow light enveloped it, instantly slowing its movements by several degrees,

Next, Xiaojin revealed its original form and engaged the Blood Demon Beast in battle,

Taking advantage of their intense battle, Zhou Xun’s ’Jun Mang’ Thunder Spear instantly pierced through its head, another Tier Four Middle-Grade Blood Demon Crystal obtained,

In the following time, Zhou Xun spent hunting Blood Demon Beasts,

A full four days later, it was then the two arrived at the bottom of the canyon,

By this time, the number of Tier Four Blood Demon Beasts they hunted had reached fourteen, among which one was at the Tier Four High-Grade level.

"Finally arrived!"

Looking at the vast complex of buildings ahead, Zhou Xun’s eyes carried a curious gleam, at this moment his Blood Demon Bag transmitted waves of disturbance,

The Blood Demon Generals inside showed expressions of both yearning and fear.
