Chapter 327: Madman Zhou Chuan
Just as Zhang Chen was devouring the fruit on the tree, among the people controlled by the Bashe, more than a dozen regained consciousness.
Moreover, the martial artists who were fighting them also sought new targets.
Those dozen or so people seized the opportunity, regained their clarity and reason, and immediately rushed towards the Bashe.
Then, more than a dozen snake eggs on the tree automatically fell off, landing on the ground to be snatched up by the dozen or so people, one egg conveniently in front of each person.
"Hehe, you actually came up with this kind of method, truly ingenious.
It's just that they are like ants in front of me, how dare they snatch snake eggs?"
Zhang Chen was about to withdraw his proboscis to kill those dozen or so people and snatch back the snake eggs.
He wasn't a fool; he could clearly distinguish which was more important, a dozen snake eggs or a single snake egg.
Zhang Chen wanted to pull out his proboscis, but unexpectedly, at that moment, the embryo within the snake egg seemed to move slightly, transmitting an immense suction force that directly held Zhang Chen in place.
Zhang Chen never expected that the Bashe would have such a trick up its sleeve.
Just with this delay, after those dozen or so people snatched the snake eggs, they swallowed them directly without saying a word.
In the next moment, red and blue light flashed around them, and then, with flashes of thunder and fire, they disappeared into the crowd without a trace.
"Good one, Bashe, you really have something.
" Zhang Chen sucked in essence, looked at the dozen or so figures running away, and a curve appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Can you escape?"
This place was at least a hundred miles away from the exit, and that time was enough for Zhang Chen to finish absorbing the embryo in front of him and then catch up.
Zhang Chen retracted his proboscis, ignoring the dozen or so people who had fled, focusing solely on devouring the essence within the embryo.
It took nearly half an hour for Zhang Chen to completely devour the fortune within the embryo, then he put away his proboscis and was about to chase after the dozen or so people who had run away.
Even with Xie Lingyun on his back, those dozen or so ordinary people would definitely not be able to outrun him.
But before he could take a step, suddenly the ground shook and the mountains swayed.
The Bashe's soul used some kind of method towards the distant earth, and a wall of earth dozens of feet high rose out of nowhere, blocking Zhang Chen's path.
Even ordinary Yin Spirit experts could control matter.
Although this Bashe only had a wisp of remnant soul, its power was still unfathomable.
The Bashe couldn't inflict supernatural damage on Zhang Chen, but blocking Zhang Chen's path and causing him some trouble was still no problem.
"Old fellow, you're asking for it yourself, don't blame me."
Zhang Chen looked at the tall stone wall, his eyes gradually turning cold.
If he were alone, it wouldn't matter; transforming into a vampire bat and breaking through would not be difficult, but he had Xie Lingyun with him.
It was easy for him to break through, but he couldn't bring Xie Lingyun with him.
Zhang Chen's gaze shifted, he looked at the Bashe's body, and then, without saying a word, summoned his proboscis and directly stabbed it into the Bashe's body.
The Bashe's body belonged to the mystery left behind by innate beings, and was naturally among the treasures of heaven and earth.
Zhang Chen's proboscis pierced into the Bashe's body, beginning to devour the essence of the Bashe's flesh.
Even after countless years, the hidden mysteries within the Bashe's body were still a massive fortune for Zhang Chen.
Zhang Chen had now advanced to the second level of Qi Training, and his devouring speed had also increased, at least doubling.
As that essence entered his body, Zhang Chen converted part of it into points for later use, and part of it into essence to supplement his foundation.
The Bashe's remnant soul was immediately anxious at this scene.
It wanted to control the mud and turn it into a large hand to suppress Zhang Chen, but before the large hand could approach Zhang Chen by ten feet, it was blocked by an inexplicable barrier.
No matter how it exerted its power, it couldn't do anything to Zhang Chen.
The power of cause and effect!
"Old fellow, when I devour your body, I'll see if you're still so arrogant!" Zhang Chen smiled triumphantly.
Snake eggs were good, but how could they compare to the vast fortune within the Bashe's body?
The Bashe's remnant soul circled anxiously around Zhang Chen, but it couldn't do anything to him.
That was its body, its foundation, and the key to storing its soul.
Moreover, in the future, when its souls reassembled and revived, its body could also be awakened with vitality.
Therefore, the body was crucial to it and could not be lost in any way.
Although it was anxious, it couldn't do anything to Zhang Chen and could only circle around him, even simply retracting the earth wall to signal that Zhang Chen could leave.
Zhang Chen didn't move at this time.
Although the snake eggs were good, in terms of the content of essence and fortune, they certainly couldn't compare to the Bashe's body, so Zhang Chen didn't chase after them at this time, but continued to devour the essence, energy, and spirit within the Bashe's body.
The essence, energy, and spirit within the Bashe's body were like a vast ocean, and Zhang Chen was like a person holding a water pump, trying to pump the ocean dry.
Although it would take a long time to pump the water out of the sea, as long as he kept pumping, there would eventually be a day of success.
"The Bashe's body is ten thousand miles long, what you see is just the tip of the tail exposed in the soil.
At your current rate of extraction, even if you extract for ten thousand years, you will not be able to extract the fortune from its body.
Your time is precious, don't waste it here, hurry up and find the legendary Buzhou Mountain."
The Great自在Heavenly Demon, seeing Zhang Chen indulge in the pleasure of devouring essence, quickly stepped forward to remind him: "Boy, the Bashe's essence is good, but don't delay the important things."
"Don't worry, I naturally know what I'm doing."
Zhang Chen replied slowly.
His Soul Hooking skill had been activated, with a three-day protection period.
Within these three days, the other party couldn't do anything to him.
When the three-day period was about to expire, it wouldn't be too late for him to leave.
The Bashe's remnant soul couldn't leave its body too far, probably only within the area covered by this hypnotic field.
As long as he left this place after three days, even if the Bashe's remnant soul had great abilities, it couldn't do anything to him.
At this time, Zhang Chen only hated that his cultivation was too low and his devouring speed was too slow.
Otherwise, if he devoured the entire Bashe today, he would definitely be able to collect the resources to transform his foundation.
Just as Zhang Chen was rambling, at this time, the fighting in the field became even more tragic.
Those corpses continued to disappear into the ground, and the number of people was constantly decreasing.
Time was slowly passing, and as the sounds of fighting in the field gradually stopped, the number of survivors became fewer and fewer.
Suddenly, a noisy sound came from the distance, and thousands of people rushed towards this place.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Chen knew that the dozen or so people who had obtained the snake eggs must have run out, and then, after some publicity outside, the people outside couldn't help but lead experts to kill their way in.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Chen couldn't help but shake his head secretly: "This Bashe is calculating.
It constantly uses snake eggs to lure people from outside.
Although it can't get out, it can call people from outside to come in."
Zhang Chen was too lazy to pay attention to those who had lost their minds and were fighting each other, he just quietly devoured the blood.
However, as time passed, more and more humans rushed to this place on the second day. Zhang Chen even saw some familiar faces, such as the senior brothers of the Yellow Heaven Dao.
On the body of that Bashe, four or five more snake eggs appeared at some point, red and very tempting, driving everyone into madness.
In the afternoon, another figure was seen walking from a distance. The figure was dressed in black, with a strange astral energy flowing around him. Even in the spiritual world, he still possessed extraordinary power. Every move he made was accompanied by the circulation of enormous martial arts energy and blood. Behind him, wolf smoke of energy and blood rose, actually resisting the bewitching power of the Bashe. He walked straight towards the body of the Bashe all the way, and everyone who stood in his way was knocked unconscious by him one by one. In a short time, he had arrived nearby.
Zhang Chen looked at Zhou Chuan, a hint of surprise in his eyes: "This person is not affected by the Bashe?"
While Zhang Chen was surprised, Zhou Chuan was also looking at Zhang Chen with a look of surprise, especially when he saw Zhang Chen's palm pressed against the trunk of the 'peach tree', standing there quietly without moving. He was a little curious: 'I rely on martial arts will, the charm of the Water God, and the power of the Dragon Yuan to resist that bewitching power, but why can this person in front of me, who is clearly just a mortal body, resist the bewitching power?'
"What is this little brother doing here?" Zhou Chuan was not in a hurry to pick the fruit from the tree, but looked at Zhang Chen curiously with his eyes.
"I advise you not to pick the fruit from the tree, but leave quickly." Zhang Chen's Dharma Eye saw that this person's body was like a furnace, especially since there was an aura of divine blood martial arts transformation from the 'Earth' era flowing around him. He felt a sense of love for talent and reminded him.
"Why?" Zhou Chuan was stunned when he heard this.
"Because what is in front of you is not a peach tree at all…" Zhang Chen did not hide anything and directly narrated the cause and effect, then looked at the person opposite with a burning gaze: "That apricot is the snake egg of the Bashe. Once swallowed, although you will gain mysterious power, you will also be parasitized by the Bashe and eventually be seized by the Bashe."
Zhou Chuan not only did not panic when he heard this, but instead revealed a look of great joy: "Does the Taoist friend mean that the apricots on this tree are the eggs of the Bashe?"
Zhang Chen looked at Zhou Chuan with a happy face, feeling a little inexplicable, not knowing what this guy was thinking. Why wasn't he afraid, but instead had a happy expression on his face: "That's right. This is the trick of that beast. If an unsuspecting person comes here and swallows the snake egg, they will definitely be seized by its offspring. I see that your body is full of energy and blood like a dragon. You must be a human genius, so I can't bear to see you lose your life in vain. You should leave quickly."
When Zhou Chuan heard Zhang Chen's words and looked at Zhang Chen's young face, he was over forty years old and was actually 'cherished for his talent' by a little baby. He couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart.
"Are you saying that as long as I swallow the Bashe's egg, I can gain the Bashe's power?" Zhou Chuan repeated the question.
"That's right." Zhang Chen nodded.
Hearing this, Zhou Chuan's eyes revealed a burning light: "If I can defeat the will of the Bashe's young snake, wouldn't that mean I can replace it and take away the Bashe's ability?"
"Theoretically, that's right." Zhang Chen replied, then came back to his senses and looked at Zhou Chuan with a ghostly look: "You don't think you can defeat the will of the Bashe's larva and seize the Bashe's larva, do you?"
"I can try!" Zhou Chuan jumped up and directly picked a snake egg from the tree, holding it in his hand to examine it: "My martial arts will has reached its limit and reached a bottleneck. The will of this Bashe's larva can be used as my whetstone. If I defeat the will of the Bashe and devour it as nourishment, my spiritual will will definitely improve by leaps and bounds and enter another world. If I fail… failure is just failure. What's the point of living if martial arts cannot be broken through?"
As Zhou Chuan said this, he took the Bashe insect egg and swallowed it directly.
"Madman! Really a madman!" Zhang Chen watched in stunned silence.
After Zhou Chuan swallowed the Bashe snake egg, no abnormality appeared on his body, nor did any thunder or lightning appear.
The remnant soul of the Bashe on the side looked at Zhou Chuan, a hint of disdain in his eyes. He was just a mere human蝼蚁, yet he wanted to use his will to defeat the will of his children and grandchildren and replace them. It was simply wishful thinking.
After Zhou Chuan swallowed the snake egg, he looked at Zhang Chen and said: "May I ask for the little brother's name?"
As he spoke, fire and lightning suddenly burst out of his mouth, startling Zhou Chuan to quickly close his mouth.
Zhang Chen looked at the firelight spewing out of Zhou Chuan's mouth, knowing that earth-shattering changes must have occurred in Zhou Chuan's body, and it was not as peaceful as it seemed on the surface.
"My name is Zhang Chen. May I ask for the uncle's name?" Zhang Chen asked back.
"Zhou Chuan." Zhou Chuan quickly spat out two words.
Zhang Chen was stunned when he heard this: "Zhou Chuan, the number one martial artist?"
"What number one martial artist? Just a seeker of the Tao. I wonder what little brother is doing?" Zhou Chuan looked at Zhang Chen curiously.
"I see that the body of this Bashe contains a mysterious essence." Zhang Chen said with a smile.
Zhou Chuan was stunned when he heard this, looking at Zhang Chen in surprise, and then looking at the 'fruit tree' in front of him, a fiery look appeared in his eyes: "That's right, this is the holy Bashe of heaven and earth. Its flesh and blood must contain incredible creation. If one can bathe in its blood, one's body will definitely be transformed again."
Zhou Chuan threw a punch, the air emitting a harsh explosion, and then his menacing punch smashed into the tail of the Bashe. The next moment, a 'crack~' sound came, and the Bashe's body remained as still as a mountain. A mysterious Dao rhyme flashed on its scales, directly shattering Zhou Chuan's arm.
"Damn!" Zhou Chuan looked at his broken arm, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Even a Yang God powerhouse would have to treat his punch with caution, but it landed on the scales in front of him and actually shattered his arm?
Is this the power of a congenital creature?
Even if the deceased Bashe was powerful in life, it was already dead, wasn't it? His full blow couldn't even break the opponent's skin? The difference was a bit too big. At this moment, a strange thought suddenly arose in his mind, feeling that he was too small.
Looking at Zhang Chen, who was devouring the essence of the Bashe's flesh and blood with a light touch, he knew that the other party must have some kind of special supernatural power, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of thought in his heart:
"Which family is the little brother from? I see that you have an extraordinary aura, and your eyebrows are somewhat similar to the Zhang family in Shangjing. Could it be that you are from the Zhang family in Shangjing?"
