C1645 The Cave
And the forest was too dangerous.
The poison of these Soul Devouring Vines was even stronger than normal black water pythons. Even experts at the 7th or 8th level of the Sacred Martial realm would die if they were touched by these Soul Devouring Vines.
After searching around for half a day, Xiao Chen finally found a cave on a mountain peak. He entered it and drew a simple array on the wall.
He collected all the Soul Devouring Vines in the cave and set up a few layers of seals before nodding in satisfaction.
Then he sat on the floor with his legs crossed and started to cultivate to heal his body.
...
Zhou Yan returned to his family.
When one of the elders saw the injuries on his body, he was so scared that his face turned ashen.
Amongst them, only a genius youth like Zhou Yan could compete with the geniuses of his family.
Since Zhou Yan had suffered such a huge loss this time, the elders of the family naturally did not dare to be negligent.
"Where's the patriarch?" Zhou Yan asked.
"The Patriarch just went out to train and came back not long ago. During this period of time, he has been cultivating in seclusion, so he hasn't come out yet!" An elder at the side replied.
"Oh? Is that so? Then I won't see him for the time being!" Hearing that, Zhou Yan felt slightly relieved.
"Young Master, should we ask the other elders to help?" Another elder asked.
"No need!" Zhou Yan waved his hand and said: "This Xiao Chen is a great enemy. There is actually a terrifying devil hidden in his body. I suspect that this devil was sent down by the Devil World to specifically target our Zhou Family! I have to personally investigate whether or not he is that guy!"
" Young Master is wise. Your subordinate understands! "The elder hurriedly said.
"Also, you must be careful for the time being. Do not be possessed by that Xiao Chen's devil. If anything happens, report it to me immediately!" Zhou Yan warned.
"Yes, Young Master!" The elders said respectfully.
...
At the same time.
On the other side.
Zhou Yan's family was not far from the place where the Devil Curse had been activated.
In a room, Zhou Yan was lying on a bed.
At this moment, his entire body was covered in terrifying scars, looking extremely horrifying.
"Xiaoqian, oh, Xiaoqian, if I can get through this disaster safely this time, I will definitely fulfill my promise! At that time, I will marry you and marry you!" Zhou Yan muttered.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yan suddenly thought of something and frowned. A trace of gloominess flashed in the depths of his eyes, and he said: "Damn it, how could I have forgotten that I still have a special medicine on me? That medicine can suppress the Heart Devouring Gu in my body, but doing so will also cause my strength to drop. If my cultivation had broken through to the peak of the Ninth Level of the Saint Martial Stage, it wouldn't be a problem, but my physical body is not strong enough to withstand the erosion of the Heart Devouring Gu! "
"If it were any other Saint Martial realm expert, they would have been dead by now, but I am the young master of the Zhou Clan, so I must have a lot of treasures on me. I must think of a foolproof plan to prevent myself from being controlled by the Heart-Devouring Gu Insect! " When Zhou Yan thought of this, his face revealed a cold smile.
The treasures on Zhou Yan's body were not only the Devil's Relic, but also many precious and rare pills. He even had a Demon God Relic.
This Demon God Relic was a gift from his grandfather back then. It was a high saint grade treasure that could activate a powerful Defense Formation technique. It was also offensive in nature and extremely powerful. Furthermore, it could absorb all kinds of spiritual energy and could be stored in the Demon God Relic.
The reason why he was so confident in fighting Xiao Chen was because he was confident enough that he could defeat Xiao Chen and take back what belonged to him.
These pills were obtained when he was out playing. The value of each bottle of pills was comparable to that of a Two-star Emperor Grade pill. Furthermore, there were three hundred of them in total. Each bottle was worth hundreds of billions of High Rank Spirit Stones.
Zhou Yan had already refined these pills into Spirit Liquid. Consuming one would allow his combat strength to instantly increase by a small level. To someone with low combat strength like him, this was definitely a heaven-defying treasure.
After that, he closed his eyes and rested.
His body emitted a strong medicinal fragrance. A piece of the scab had fallen off, revealing bright red pimples, which looked particularly horrifying.
On these pimples, a black poison was slowly spreading.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
"Boom!"
A deafening sound exploded from Zhou Yan's body.
At that moment, his physical strength had increased by quite a bit. As his aura surged, it felt as if a Vicious Beast had awakened.
Not only that, but traces of black light began to appear on the surface of his body, as if a layer of black armor had covered his body.
This black armor gave off a powerful evil power that caused the surrounding space to distort, as if it would shatter at any moment.
"This is a demonic pattern!"
Sensing the aura emitted from Zhou Yan's body, the expressions of the two guards changed.
They did not expect their young master's strength to have improved so much in less than a month. It was simply unimaginable!
It was no wonder that the two of them were so shocked.
After all, Zhou Yan was the future hope of the Zhou Family.
"Alright, the two of you go and prepare. Wait for my order!"
Zhou Yan said lightly.
"Yes, Young Master!"
"Don't worry, Young Master. This subordinate knows what to do!"
The two maids immediately bowed and received the order.
Then, they turned around and left.
...
Zhou Yan stood up from the bed and walked down the stairs.
Dressed in a gray robe with a long sword at his waist, he looked extremely domineering.
"Young Master, you're awake?"
"Yes, Young Master. The weather today is not bad. Do you want me to take you out for a walk?"
The two maids walked to his side and softly asked.
"Alright, accompany me for a stroll!" Zhou Yan said indifferently.
After that, the group of people left the house and took a carriage, speeding out of the city.
......0
Zhou Yan's mansion was a manor, and it was built in a very luxurious manner. There were pavilions, small bridges, flowing water, fake mountains, gardens, and everything else. It looked as if it was real.
Furthermore, there was actually a river in this area. As Zhou Yan walked, he saw a bridge, so he stepped onto it and walked to the other side.
"This place is not bad. If we go further south, we will arrive at the wilderness. That place is too chaotic and not suitable for living!" Zhou Yan looked around, shook his head lightly, and said.
"Young Master, look over there. There's a small island! There's a small town on that small island. Should we go there and buy some food? "One of the maids pointed at the island by the lake and said.
