Chapter 302: Toxins
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
Lu Li was confused by the additional information in his mind. There was not much of it, only ways to control the Coffin of the Dragon King, but nothing else.
The demon said that he knew a way to open the Hall of Wicked Sorcery, but there was nothing about this, or the where the demon came from and why it was in the Coffin of the Dragon King.
If the soul of the demon was entirely consumed by the silver dragon, then the silver dragon mark should have transferred all the memory of the demon to him.
The demon was a powerful one!
That strange step and the ability to enhance the Apparition Skill were both skillful. Lu Li wanted those information and tried to use them for his own good.
Lu Li kept his mind concentrated on the silver dragon mark in the Soul Pond for a while but there was no more information. He now had to browse through the information to control the Coffin of the Dragon King, save Little White and fly out the Wicked Sorcery Mountain.
"Um?"
After an hour, Lu Li opened his eyes in confusion again. There was something missing about the ways to control the Coffin of the Dragon King. There was how to fly it, to open the outside shield and to cloak it, but nothing about how to open it!
In other words, Lu Li could control the Coffin of the Dragon King to activate the cyan-colored shield, control it to fly and to go invisible, but he couldn’t open it.
Lu Li had some serious doubts. Was the silver dragon mark in the Soul Pond doing it on purpose? Or did it know there was something dangerous in the coffin so it didn’t pass that information along to him? Or did the demon destroyed that part of the memory before it died so as to prevent Lu Li from obtaining the treasures inside?
Lu Li still could not figure it out after a while of deep thought. He got up, walked over to the Coffin of the Dragon King and poured Xuan Energy into the coffin slowly from his hands.
He then concentrated on the patterns and runes on the coffin, controlling them to move in a certain way.
"Buzzing~"
Soon, the runes and patterns on the coffin started moving about. The black vines on Little White automatically retracted back into the coffin and vanished.
"Whoosh!"
Little White rushed into Lu Li’s arms, licked him with its little tongue fondly and screamed in excitement.
"Little White, let’s get out of here!"
Lu Li patted its head and then jumped to the Coffin of the Dragon King. He put one hand on the coffin, closed his eyes and controlled the runes.
"Buzzing!"
With a glare, a cyan-colored half-transparent shield showed up. The shield could cloak the coffin. From the outside, the Coffin of the Dragon King had disappeared.
"Let’s go!"
Lu Li poured some more Xuan Energy in and moved several other runes. The Coffin of the Dragon King flew up and rushed into the dark purple fog.
The dark purple fog was full of toxins, very terrifying. There were many voodoo bugs in there as well. Luckily, none of those could get into the shield of the Coffin of the Dragon King.
Lu Li flew the Coffin of the Dragon King slowly. It was not because the coffin couldn’t be faster, but because Lu Li wanted it to. There were always Inhibition Formations in those places. Otherwise, the demon would have taken a direct route when it got in.
He tried to recall the way the demon took. Fortunately, during that time, the demon didn’t control his soul so he had some memory about the way in.
It took them the time for half an incense stick to burn on the way in, but for three incense sticks to burn on the way out. Lu Li hadn’t come out yet. There was still some dark purple fog ahead of him.
"Whew~"
At that moment, Lu Li halted the Coffin of the Dragon King. He heard sounds of heavy breathing coming from below him. The breathing was mixed with pain and agony, like the sounds made by a ghost.
"Is it… Ming Yu?"
Lu Li stopped for a while to listen into it. His pupils contracted as he realized the sound was familiar to him. Was it really Ming Yu?
Lu Li thought about it but didn’t take any rash actions. He turned to Little White and asked, "There is toxins in the fog and many bugs. There should be Inhibition Formation down there as well. Can you go in there?"
Little White was born to be able to control many Xuan Beasts and Inhibition Formations wouldn’t do anything to it. Therefore, Lu Li decided to ask it. Little White scanned downward with contempt, raised its head in pride and screamed. It seemed to be saying that this was a piece of cake.
"Okay, be careful. If it is Ming Yu, ask him to come up here. But if it is dangerous, get up immediately!"
Lu Li said seriously. Little White raised its head, kicked backwards with its four short legs and then rushed down in a white blur.
When it was about to go through the shield, Lu Li controlled the shield to be thinner for Little White to get out. Then with a glare, the shield came back up once again, stopping the dark purple fog and bugs.
"Whew, whew~"
It was Ming Yu down below. He had been here for several days without dying, which was attributable to his Profound Meaning. He used Force to confine the space near him so that the toxins and bugs couldn’t get onto him, but he was poisoned anyways. He had triggered some Inhibition Formation and some toxins got into his body. He was lying face-down on the ground, gasping for air…
Of course, that Ming Yu was still alive was also because he didn’t enter the depths of the Wicked Sorcery Mountain. The toxins outside were not as powerful. It would be worse deep inside it.
"Whoosh!"
From above him came a noise. It was Little White flying down. As it entered the sphere of control of Ming Yu’s Force, the latter was alarmed and glanced up with a glare of coldness in his eyes.
"Little White?"
Ming Yu of course knew Lu Li’s pet. He was shocked, then his eyes shone brightly. He loosened the control of his force so Little White could get down.
Little White landed next to Ming Yu’s head, patted his head with its furry claw and then pointed up.
Ming Yu trembled in excitement and then asked in a deep voice, "You… mean Young Master is up there?"
"Squeak, squeak~"
Little White screamed and nodded. It pointed up again, signaling Ming Yu to go up.
Ming Yu struggled up, closed his eyes and sat with his legs crossed. After a while, the Bead of Life in his abdomen glared and enlarged. Ming Yu put Little White on his Bead of Life and released Force at once to confine the toxins and bugs near them.
"Whoosh~"
Ming Yu flew up. The voodoo bugs could not move but toxins were everywhere. Ming Yu was moving through the toxins, so inevitably, he got some on his body.
Little White, on the other hand, was a wonder. There was a white glare around its body, which prevented the toxins from reaching it. When it flew down, none of the bugs would dare to go near.
"Ah~"
Ming Yu let out a muffled shout. There were already many toxins in him and he had been trying to force them out. Now, there were ten times more toxins inside his body, which gave him great pain that he almost fell down.
He controlled his Bead of Life and flew up with great effort. Lu Li felt someone was coming up so he opened the shield for Ming Yu to get in.
"Whoosh~"
Finally, Ming Yu landed on the Coffin of the Dragon King. He put away his Bead of Life at once and then he fell to the ground. His hands and legs were trembling. Many places of his skin were corroding and his back was covered in pus. It was a truly horrifying scene.
"Young Master!"
Even so, Ming Yu still found Lu Li as soon as he landed. When he saw his familiar Young Master was back, a glint of comfort and joy showed up in his eyes. He was even choking when he spoke.
"Get the toxins out. Don’t say anything!" Lu Li said solemnly. He took out several healing pellets from his ring to give to Ming Yu.
"Don’t move!"
Ming Yu said at once, "Young Master, don’t touch me. I have toxins on me. If you touch me, you will be poisoned as well. Don’t worry. I won’t die. I can force the toxins out slowly."
Lu Li halted his action and stared at Ming Yu nervously.
He felt touched. Ming Yu had rushed into the Wicked Sorcery Mountain, ready to die with his Young Master. If Lu Li stayed any longer inside, Ming Yu would die here, sooner or later.
