Chapter 251: Chapter 250 Being Chased Again

The Water Kirin prevented Xie Jiuniang from digging up the dragon scales.

She wasn’t the sort to be unreasonable, "All right, you two give me a reason that can convince me, otherwise, I’ll make you regret it."

"Master shouldn’t dig, this, this..."

The Water Kirin’s inheritance wasn’t complete.

It only knew not to dig, but couldn’t articulate a reason why.

Xie Jiuniang probed, "Is there a Dragon Soul here?"

"No." The Water Kirin was very certain of this.

"Then why can’t I dig up the dragon scales?"

"Water Water feels it’s so dangerous, so frightening, wu wu." For the first time ever, the Water Kirin broke down and cried.

This completely dumbfounded Xie Jiuniang.

A dragon corpse made it cry, this was far too timid.

Fine, to avoid making the Water Kirin cry, Xie Jiuniang decided, albeit begrudgingly, to take away the dragon corpse. So, she found the largest-capacity Storage Ring she had on her, which could easily contain a small mountain.

Next, she cleared out the items inside.

After that, she wrapped up the dragon corpse and squeezed it into the ring, before tucking it away into the Small Tortoise Shell.

Xie Jiuniang lifted her chin slightly, raised an eyebrow and asked, "What’s the matter? Not scared anymore, right?"

The Water Kirin was stunned.

Unable to stop its master from walking further and further down the path of courting death.

It was at this moment that Xie Jiuniang’s attention was diverted, as she looked down at her feet.

After the dragon corpse was moved, some ancient Array Patterns were left on the ground, broken and no longer functional.

In that moment, Xie Jiuniang finally realized something was odd, "Little Jianjian, could the indestructibility of the dragon corpse have something to do with these Array Patterns?"

"Don’t know." Jian Lingyan came over to examine the remaining Array Patterns, "It looks a bit like a trapping array."

"Then it has nothing to do with the dragon corpse not decaying."

The presence of a trapping array here was likely related to the dragon.

Xie Jiuniang picked up an unknown Beast Bone and traced along the Array Patterns on the ground, "Could this dragon have died trapped?"

"That’s a possibility." Jian Lingyan speculated.

The Water Kirin was dispirited, "Master, why are you collecting the dragon corpse?"

"Dragons, every part is a treasure. It’s rare to find a complete dragon corpse. Such a big opportunity, it’s only normal that I take it, isn’t it?" Xie Jiuniang didn’t understand what the little creature was worried about.

Now that the dragon corpse was collected and Jian Lingyan no longer felt any imminent danger, it began to antagonize the Water Kirin on purpose, "Exactly, dragon corpses are treasures. Dragon Balls, Dragon Tendons, True Dragon Spirit Blood, all are priceless treasures. Even those dragon scales are top-notch materials for Artifact Refining."

Jian Lingyan ingratiatingly added, "Dog master, save me a Dragon Bone when you can, I want to merge it into my sword."

"Sure."

Xie Jiuniang glanced at the hilt of the Broken Sword.

A dragon-shaped sword hilt, now to be fused with Dragon Bone, seemed quite fitting.

Having scavenged for a while, she collected all the useful items and discarded the worthless ones. What she picked through were a bunch of high-level Demonic Beast bones, incredibly hard and excellent materials for Artifact Refining to make bone swords and Bone Knives, etc.

At this point, Jian Lingyan and the Water Kirin were just as dispirited.

"Dog master, it’s already three feet taller in the sky," Jian Lingyan reminded lethargically.

Xie Jiuniang was puzzled, then suddenly realized what he meant and her mouth twitched fiercely.

Was this a dig at her for scraping the place clean?

Where on earth did Jian Lingyan learn these words?

But it was indeed time to leave; there wasn’t anything useful left.

Picking up the Water Kirin who was playing dead, she asked, "All set, can we continue on our way?"

At these words, the Water Kirin’s spirits lifted, "Okay, master!"

Xie Jiuniang didn’t know how the Water Kirin found the route to leave, but followed it through many more caverns and up a winding stone passage.

Finally, light appeared from the darkness.

It was the light at the end of the tunnel.

Xie Jiuniang walked out of the tunnel excitedly, greeted by verdant green pine trees.

In front of her was a pine forest, with thick layers of pine needles accumulating on the ground. Stepping on them, there was a squeaky sound, and her long boots sank seven parts deep. Xie Jiuniang hastily employed her light body technique.

Xie Jiuniang said, "Have we left the Longyuan Abyss?"

"No, my abilities are still being restricted." Jian Lingyan didn’t like this place very much.

The Water Kirin’s eyes shone brightly as it excitedly pointed ahead.

Xie Jiuniang probed with her Divine Sense, still finding it restricted, so she took out a new Puppet Horse, bonded with it, and mounted it to follow the Water Kirin forward at a gallop.

Just as she emerged from the pine forest.

A blade light attacked, and Xie Jiuniang pressed her palms against the back of the Puppet Horse; her whole body flew up into the air, avoiding the slash.

The Puppet Horse, however, was cleaved into two halves.

"Who dares to ambush your granddaddy?"

Xie Jiuniang soared into the sky.

In midair, the ambusher’s second blade light was on its way. If she continued to fall, she would collide with the blade light. In a moment of peril, she cleverly activated a Flight Charm.

And soared up once again.

Narrowly avoiding the deadly strike.

Xie Jiuniang looked at her ambusher with murderous intent, "Who are you? A sneaky rat that hides its head and shows its tail."

The ambusher was dressed in a black robe.

Not just a black robe, but also wearing a black cloak.

The connected hood of the cloak covered the person’s face. Even if the face were visible, it couldn’t be seen clearly, as the person wore a mask. Therefore, Xie Jiuniang’s scolding of the ambusher for being sneaky and petty was quite fitting for the situation.

However, Xie Jiuniang’s sarcasm seemed to be of no concern to the other party.

They kept trying to deal her a deadly blow.

She found herself in an awkward situation and after several exchanges, realized that the ambusher’s strength appeared to far exceed hers?

If it weren’t for the environmental restrictions on strength, Xie Jiuniang might not survive three moves at the hands of her opponent.

"Damn it, what have I done to provoke you?" Xie Jiuniang, holding her Broken Sword, barely managed to fend off an attack from her opponent.

Then she turned to flee.

She was pursued yet again!

Block again, and flee again.

After a few escapes, Xie Jiuniang realized that her pursuer was like a persistent plaster, impossible to shake off.

Jian Lingyan was even anxious for her master, "Quick, run for your life, it’s a Nascent Soul!"

"Shit, what?"

Nascent Soul? Were they after her life?

Wasn’t the competition in Longyuan Abyss supposed to be absolutely fair? How could a Nascent Soul infiltrate and pursue her?

What wretched luck is this!

Xie Jiuniang, infuriated, threw a Thunder Explosive Bead behind her, "I’ll blast your sorry ass to smithereens."

Boom!

A loud explosion ensued.

Turning her head to look back, that person had dodged the explosion.

The Thunder Explosive Bead didn’t trouble the pursuer, who knocked it away as soon as it was seen.

So it exploded elsewhere?

"I say, senior, which Sect do you belong to? You’re truly shameless! You agreed to a fair competition, yet you play dirty? Aren’t you afraid that the powerful beings above will trouble you?"

As Xie Jiuniang fled, she rambled on.

Don’t think she was just talking; she also casually dropped some of the small artifacts she had refined, leaving the person chasing her disheveled and dusty. If it weren’t for the fact that a Nascent Soul was there as a safeguard, they might have indeed been played to death by her.

Just like now.

As the black-clothed person chased forward, a Puppet Beast suddenly appeared on the ground and clung to one of his legs.

Then, it self-destructed!

If he hadn’t shielded himself with Spiritual Power in time, that leg would have been destroyed.
