Chapter 877 - 877 Blood Rakshasa!
877 Blood Rakshasa!
That night, Sikong Changfeng came to the Nether Mountain. He was here to deliver books to Yu Wan and Yan Jiuchao. He still did not know about the Sang family’s Rakshasa matter. The books he sent were all books related to the Sikong family’s inheritance. Although it was important to find the medicinal primer, the most important thing now was to resolve the Rakshasa matter. Otherwise, they might not be able to live to find the medicinal primer.
“May I go to the Sikong family’s library?” Grandma said.
“Of course.” Sikong Changfeng agreed without hesitation. Putting aside his relationship with Yu Wan, just the Sang family was now their common enemy. There was no reason for the Sikong family to hide anything.
Sikong Changfeng brought Grandma to the library.!!
The Sikong family had so many books that even the disciples of the Sikong family had not finished reading them. The two of them stayed in the library for a long time and only got up and left in the latter half of the night. After that, Grandma did not return to his room to rest. Instead, he made a list and asked Sikong Changfeng to finish the things on it as soon as possible.
Sikong Changfeng called the best experts and craftsmen of the Sikong family and made the things on the list overnight.
The next evening, Yan Jiuchao left the secret room.
Grandma had been waiting for him for a long time. When he finally saw him, he quickly walked forward and called out to him, “Jiuchao.”
“Grandma.” Yan Jiuchao nodded.
Grandma looked at the room behind Yan Jiuchao. He had passed by here just now and did not enter. It seemed like he was going out. “Are you going down the mountain?”
Yan Jiuchao said, “I’m going to the Sang Family’s forbidden area.”
Grandma paused and frowned. “You want to kill Rakshasa?”
“If there’s a chance, I’ll kill him,” Yan Jiuchao said.
Grandma looked at the endless mountains and said, “I was far away at that time and couldn’t accurately sense the Rakshasa’s realm, but I guess his cultivation is not inferior to the Ghost King, so you have to be careful.”
“Young Master, I’ll go investigate first.”
A familiar voice sounded beside Yan Jiuchao. Yan Jiuchao turned around and saw Shadow Thirteen, who had been unconscious for a few days, standing upright under the porch, looking at him eagerly.
Yan Jiuchao glanced at him. “You’re awake?”
“Yes.” Shadow Thirteen bowed and said, “My strength has also recovered.”
Yan Jiuchao looked at him steadily. With a flick of his sleeve, an internal energy hit Shadow Thirteen’s chest and flowed around his dantian and meridians. Then, he retracted his internal energy and placed his hand behind his back. As he turned around and entered the room, he said indifferently, “Let Shadow Six go with you.”
Shadow Thirteen cupped his hands and agreed. “Yes!”
…
Fifteen minutes later, Shadow Thirteen returned to Shadow Six’s room. Shadow Six rushed over. “What did Young Master say? Did he agree?”
“He did. You’ll go to the Sang Family’s forbidden area with me tonight.” Shadow Thirteen was still worried that his strength was not enough and Young Master would not agree to him going. Actually, compared to being an injured person who stayed in his room and did nothing, he was more willing to risk his life for Young Master.
“We’ll leave when it’s dark,” he said.
Shadow Six nodded. “Alright, then eat something first. I’ll go ask Qing Yan how to get to the Sang family’s forbidden area.”
“Ask what? Isn’t it enough for me to go with you?” Qing Yan strode in with a heavy bag in his hand.
Shadow Six’s gaze landed on his bag. “What is this?”
“Aren’t we going to the Sang Family’s forbidden area to investigate the Blood Rakshasa’s situation tonight? No matter what, we have to get some protective treasures,” Qing Yan said with raised eyebrows. He took out the items that Grandma had asked Sikong Changfeng to prepare one by one. “This is talisman water that can hide the aura of the sacrificial soldiers on your bodies. This is a blood pill. When necessary, we’ll feed it to the Blood Rakshasa so that we don’t let him eat us as a sacrifice. Also, this is a chain specially used to tie the Blood Rakshasa. However, we better pray that we won’t use the chain. After all, that means that we’ll have a direct confrontation with the Blood Rakshasa. Whether we die or not is secondary. The main thing is that we’ll alert the enemy, and it’ll be difficult to ambush them in the future.”
“Oh, alright, I remember it.” Shadow Six divided the talisman water and the blood pill into three portions and carried one each. There was only one iron chain, so Qing Yan carried it.
“I almost forgot about this.” Qing Yan took out a small porcelain bottle. “This is the Blood Clotting Powder. Sprinkle it into the blood pool. If it’s already the Rakshasa King, then the Blood Clotting Powder is useless against it.”
As the saying goes, know yourself and know the enemy and you will win a hundred battles. The outcome of a head-on battle was not high, so there was only a sneak attack. However, even if he wanted to sneak attack, he had to figure out Rakshasa’s habits and residence. The blood pool was only a place for him to cultivate, so it might not be around all the time.
Also, how they were going to leave after the sneak attack was a very important problem. Tonight, they had to figure out the background of the Rakshasa and the terrain of the Sang Family’s forbidden area.
Shadow Thirteen looked at the dark sky. “It’s getting late. Let’s go!”
The few of them changed into their night clothes and used their qinggong to go to the Sang Family’s forbidden area.
The Sang family’s forbidden area was located on the west side of the Sang family’s residence. On one side was the Sang family’s mansion, and on the other was the Yuxiu Mountains.
Qing Yan and Yue Gou had accidentally entered the forbidden area from the mountains.
“I remember there’s a river…” Qing Yan said as he recalled.
“That way!” Shadow Six discovered a stream that spanned the mountains.
They flowed through the stream.
Qing Yan had no impression of the rest of the journey. However, because they had walked past it, Shadow Six found his and Yue Gou’s footprints on the ground. He followed the footprints and followed them into the Sang Family’s forbidden area.
Qing Yan was not a sacrificial soldier. The Asuras of the Sang family were not sensitive to his aura, but Shadow Six and Shadow Thirteen were different. The two of them had no choice but to take out the talisman water that Grandma had concocted and apply it on themselves.
Shadow Six was crying from the choking smell. “By the way, what’s this talisman water made of? Why does it smell so strange?”
Qing Yan thought for a while. “I think it’s… horse urine?”
Shadow Six: “?!”
The three of them continued forward.
Shadow Thirteen suddenly stopped Shadow Six and Qing Yan and whispered, “Don’t bring the match. Also throw away the Night-Luminescent Pearl.”
“Why?” Shadow Six asked in confusion.
“Rakshasa doesn’t like it,” Shadow Thirteen said.
“How do you know?” Shadow Six looked at him blankly.
Shadow Thirteen frowned. “Intuition. Throw it away quickly. Don’t alert the enemy.”
“Oh.” Shadow Six obediently threw it away.
Qing Yan pursed his lips. “You threw it away when he told you to? Why are you so obedient? You’re not his little wife!”
Shadow Thirteen looked at him coldly. “If you continue to talk, I’ll throw you away too!”
Qing Yan shut his mouth resentfully.
After throwing away everything that had light, the three of them came to an inconspicuous hole. They were getting closer and closer to the Sang Family’s forbidden area. The three of them even held their breaths.
Is this the place? Shadow Six asked Qing Yan with his eyes.
Qing Yan frowned and thought for a while. It seemed like it, but it didn’t seem to be… He didn’t remember… Didn’t all the caves in the world look the same?
Shadow Six and Shadow Thirteen exchanged glances. Shadow Thirteen nodded and gestured for him to press down. Shadow Six understood and pushed Qing Yan and Shadow Thirteen away before walking in.
Qing Yan tugged at Shadow Thirteen’s sleeve. Why did he let Shadow Six enter first? If there was danger inside, he would be the first to die!
This was the difference between a scout and an assassin. Pathfinding was a scout’s business. Shadow Thirteen was in charge of attacking. When carrying out a mission, if only one person could survive, that person would be an assassin. This was because if assassins could not bring back the news, it was even more impossible for scouts with inferior martial arts to do so.
However, Shadow Thirteen did not let Shadow Six take the risk because of this consideration.
There were traces left behind by Qing Yan and Yue Gou inside. He did not understand these things. If he walked ahead, it would be easy to destroy the scene.
As it turned out, Shadow Thirteen’s decision was right. The cave looked small, but after walking for a while, they entered a huge cave. There were five small caves in the cave, and each of them led to different places.
Shadow Six investigated and still entered the third cave on his left.
Shadow Thirteen and Qing Yan followed. Along the way, they did not even see a rat. From this, it could be seen how terrifying the monster in the blood pool was. After walking for an unknown period of time, the cave began to emit a thick smell of blood. Qing Yan covered his chest and gestured that the smell of blood was even stronger than last time.
Shadow Thirteen frowned. It seemed that the offering of the purple-clothed Saintess had indeed made the Blood Rakshasa stronger. They could not help but clench the blood pills in their hands. The blood pills were made of beast blood and could not be compared to offerings, but they could still be used as a snack.
After taking another three to four steps, they arrived at a huge cave. What greeted their eyes was a red blood pool with a lonely wooden bridge on it.
Qing Yan was dumbfounded. The color of the blood pool had deepened. Suddenly, footsteps came from another entrance of the cave. The three of them hurriedly flashed behind a rock.
“Seriously, we have to pour blood inside every day!”
“Stop talking. If we anger that thing later, you and I will be unable to bear the consequences of failure!”
“It’s not here!”
It was two seventh-stage Asura Kings. The two of them each held two buckets of blood in their hands and poured them into the blood pool. After doing this, the two of them left without looking back.
Shadow Six and the other two looked at each other. Two Level Seven Asura Kings could not defeat a Blood Rakshasa. This was too terrifying.
“Did they say that the Blood Rakshasa isn’t around just now?” Qing Yan asked softly.
“Yes.” Shadow Six nodded. “That’s what I heard.”
“Perfect! Let’s try the Blood Clotting Powder!” Qing Yan said.
Shadow Six took out the medicine bottle.
“Let me do it,” Shadow Thirteen said.
He took the medicine bottle from Shadow Six, removed the cork, and squatted down by the pool. Just as Shadow Thirteen was about to sprinkle the Blood Clotting Powder in, a bloody hand suddenly reached out from the blood pool and pulled Shadow Thirteen down!
