Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 662 Ice Soul Ghost, Dragon Stirrings! (Two Chapters Combined)

"What about that flock of icebirds that appeared earlier?" Song Changming asked.

"Those ice birds are fighting pets raised by the Ice Soul Clan here. They come in flocks and are quite powerful," Tang Kecha said, and then also explained the Ice Soul Clan that he had mentioned.

Even though the entire Azure Valley is lacking in resources, it is not exclusively owned by this group of humans.

In fact, these humans, as outsiders, were merely hiding here.

The inhabitants of this place are a group of humanoid ice monsters, also known as the Ice Soul Clan as mentioned by Tang Kecha.

The day Song Changming fell from the sky into this Biyou Valley, it was because of this Ice Soul Clan.

“Ice Soul Ghosts eat people. We’ve fought them many times. A single Ice Soul Ghost is nothing, but when they appear in groups, we have no choice but to run for our lives,” Tang Kecha said truthfully.

He called this group of Ice Soul Clan "man-eating demons," which shows how ferocious they were.

"In addition, besides the Ice Soul Clan, five dragons have also been entrenched here in this Azure Valley for some unknown reason a few years ago."

At first, the five dragons clashed with the Ice Soul Ghost, and later they even drove the Ice Soul Ghost away.

We all suspect that one of these five dragons possesses the formidable combat power of an immortal, far beyond our capabilities to provoke.

Tang Kecha seemed afraid that Song Changming would do something foolish and venture into the dragon's den, so he emphasized it several times at the end.

After all, his life and death were already firmly tied to his master, Song Changming. Even if Song Changming wanted to die, he would do his best to save him. He didn't want to be buried with Song Changming.

"The strength of an immortal, huh?" Song Changming murmured, stroking his chin.

To be honest, he was quite curious about just how powerful the legendary immortals were.

However, this is just a one-sided inference and estimation by this group of people. Whether that dragon really possesses the strength of an immortal is not necessarily accurate.

After all, these people are only at the Grandmaster level in terms of strength, so how high can their vision be?

"In all these years, have you ever seen a real immortal?" Song Changming asked directly.

"Um, this."

The three of them exchanged a glance, all speechless for a moment.

They had never actually seen that legendary powerful immortal.

Occasionally, passing humans would exchange a few words with each other, hearing some things over the bush.

They believed that the dragon possessed the power of an immortal, and this was largely the basis for their judgment.

"It seems that even after arriving in the Primordial Land, immortals are not so easy to find," Song Changming thought to himself, and then asked.

"You should know how to become an immortal, right?"

Tang Kecha breathed a slight sigh of relief and nodded in response.

The secret to becoming an immortal was not only passed down on the primordial continent, but also had related stories in their respective small worlds.

"Legend has it that in the primordial continent, a supreme treasure will naturally emerge, called the Immortal Fruit. This is the most important thing for becoming an immortal; whoever obtains it can ascend to immortality!"

When Tang Ke examined the immortal fruit, his tone was exceptionally certain.

This does not seem to be unfounded, but rather an established fact.

"Immortal Fruit?" Song Changming pondered. In fact, this was not the first time he had heard the words "immortal fruit".

Previously, when he was talking to the Star-Devouring Dragon, the other party had mentioned that he wanted to find immortal fruits for him.

It seems that the claim of this "divine fruit" is quite credible.

However, since this immortal fruit is so important, it may not be so easy to find.

"Do you have any news about this immortal fruit?" Song Changming asked again.

Unsurprisingly, he soon received a negative answer.

These people only dared to hide in this secluded corner of the valley, so how could they possibly find that incomparably precious immortal fruit?

"Besides this immortal fruit, are there any other ways to become an immortal?"

"It is said that there is a celestial court up there, which will bestow celestial positions. Those who obtain celestial positions can go to that heaven to become gods. However, I only heard this from someone I passed by by chance, and I don't know if it is true or not," Tang Kecha said in a low voice.

In his view, this was just hearsay and not very credible.

Just as Song Changming was about to ask some more questions, energy fluctuations suddenly came from outside the cave, indicating that someone else had come to visit.

Song Changming glanced at the three people beside him, and the three understood and immediately stood up.

Song Changming did not want to reveal the new relationship he had established with these three people.

With another wave of his hand, the cave door was moved open once more.

The visitor was the old man who had previously spoken with Song Changming.

He was somewhat surprised to find that Song Changming and the other three in the cave were all unharmed.

Clearly, he was one of the people who knew the true nature of Tang Kecha and the other two.

When Tang Kecha and the other two visited Song Changming together, he had already noticed something and knew that Tang Kecha was about to make a move again.

As expected, this new kid is likely to suffer too.

But seeing the current situation, it seems he was overthinking things.

He certainly didn't think that Tang Kecha and the other two would have a change of heart and let Song Changming go.

It's more likely that Tang Kecha was simply more patient this time and chose not to make a move today.

"Senior Fufeng, what brings you here?" Song Changming, as the owner of the cave, asked.

"Gentlemen," the old man Fu Feng coughed lightly and said seriously.

"The paper cranes I arranged brought news that those dragons are making unusual movements, and Biyou Valley is likely to be flooded!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Kecha's expression also turned serious.

Because of the dragon's power, it naturally attracts their special attention.

They had to be careful to deal with any move the dragon made.

“If it’s not targeted at us, and it’s just a flood, it’s nothing,” Fran said, brushing a strand of golden hair behind her ear.

“That’s natural, but this time all five dragons came out of the Dragon Pool at the same time. I’m worried… Hey, Fran, where’s your scepter?” The old man suddenly changed the subject and asked.

He knew that the scepter in Fran's hand was practically her lifeline, and she never let it out of her sight.

This was the first time he had ever seen Fran empty-handed.

"I've put it away," Fran said, turning her head away somewhat awkwardly.

Old Man Fufeng didn't ask any further questions, only saying that everyone should gather outside the cave first, so that they could retreat immediately if there was any danger. Tang Ke glanced at Song Changming subconsciously, and seeing that he didn't give any instructions, he agreed.

For human groups who have long been accustomed to hiding and fleeing, having no fixed abode is inevitable.

They rarely stay in one place comfortably for too long, let alone truly settle down in one place, because that would be too dangerous.

To avoid danger on the original continent, they need to be more vigilant and extremely careful.

Any storm, if they were unfortunate enough to encounter it, could potentially take the lives of all of them at once!

In response, Song Changming chose to follow the main group and wait and see how things develop before making any further plans.

By the time Song Changming and his group arrived outside the valley, they were among the last to receive the notification.

At this moment, a large number of people had gathered in the valley, more than Song Changming had expected, with as many as seventy or eighty people in sight!
These people all had different auras, and their intensity varied.

Tang Kecha and the other two, who have already become his slaves, are probably not even in the top five in terms of true strength among this group.

With just a quick glance, Song Changming noticed several elderly men, whose lifespans were unknown, whose auras had steadily reached the level of Grandmasters.

If he could also acquire some extraordinary treasures, his strength would probably surpass that of some grandmasters and great demon kings!

This is normal, after all, they have been in the Primordial Continent for a long time, and in their respective small worlds, they were among the most talented and powerful individuals, or even the strongest.

Such a talented person could not possibly remain on the original continent without any gains, wasting his time in vain.

Even Tang Kecha and his two companions gained something; the materials used to forge his iron fan and the jade stone on the Fran Scepter were all things they obtained from the original continent.

Others also gained something, more or less, but some showed off their treasures while others kept them hidden and never revealed them.

"It seems that not all of these people are good-for-nothings," Song Changming thought to himself.

Tang Kecha and the other two had really disappointed him; they were just using their magical artifacts to act aggressively.

It now appears that Tang Kecha and his two companions were simply not strong enough, but that doesn't mean the other humans on the Primordial Continent were also incompetent.

In fact, the outstanding individuals who emerge from each small world vary greatly in strength and weakness due to their different upbringing.

The weak are very weak, and the strong are very strong.

Upon arriving at the Primordial Continent, the cultivation and strength they had acquired from their small world could only serve as their starting point.

What kind of opportunities they can obtain in the primordial continent will determine the upper limit of their future growth, including whether they will have the potential to become immortals.

Song Changming concealed his aura, hiding his energy and blood, and blended into the crowd, looking like Tang Kecha was traveling with them, not standing out at all.

However, a few people glanced at Tang Kecha and Song Changming.

They were clearly aware of Tang Kecha's character and were surprised that he had spared Song Changming without making a move.

But they didn't say much about it and didn't pay much attention to it.

To put it bluntly, what does the life or death of Song Changming, this 'newcomer,' have to do with them?

"Fellow Daoists, if that dragon attacks, we will have to find another place to survive. Until then, we must be prepared at all times and remember not to reveal our whereabouts," said Old Man Fufeng.

"If those Ice Soul Demons attack, we will unite and fight them. They want to eat our flesh and blood, but we also want their Ice Souls!"

As the old man Fufeng spoke, his tone became noticeably unfriendly.

"Okay!" Several people in the crowd responded to the old man's words.

It's clear that this old fellow still holds considerable influence among the people here.

Meanwhile, Tang Kecha, who was beside Song Changming, also wisely whispered to Song Changming and continued to do his part in explaining.

"The Ice Soul contains the potential for them to become spirits, and it is of great use in refining weapons, pills, and cultivation. This Azure Valley is short of resources, so the Ice Soul essence on these Ice Soul Ghosts can be considered a rare and valuable item."

"Furthermore, as that old man Fufeng once mentioned, these spirits from the primordial continent all have certain research value, and perhaps they hold the secret to becoming immortals!"

As Tang Kecha spoke, Song Changming simply nodded indifferently.

For him, who had just arrived on the Primordial Continent, everything on the Primordial Continent was worth his careful observation and study, not just these native spirits and monsters.

Seeing that Song Changming remained unmoved, Tang Kecha's eyes flickered, but he did not continue speaking.

Song Changming then turned to look at him.

"Stop thinking such things. If it happens again, I might get angry."

Song Changming's tone was not harsh, but his words made Tang Kecha feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave, and a look of panic appeared on her face.

If there weren't so many people around, he probably would have already knelt down and apologized to Song Changming.

"Master, I just think that old man Fufeng may have discovered some secret related to becoming an immortal, and he has no intention of harming you!" Tang Kecha said in a flustered voice as his lips moved slightly.

“If you had intended to harm me, you would have already perished, body and soul,” Song Changming said slowly, looking at him calmly.

"Although they have no intention of harming me, they do intend to take advantage of me."

Tang Kecha felt a sudden, unbearable, stinging pain in his soul, as if it were being pierced by a thousand needles.

His face turned pale, and he hurriedly begged for mercy.

He had indeed just considered using Song Changming to deal with old man Fufeng.

He had always felt that the old man Fufeng must have discovered some secret related to becoming an immortal, but he was no match for the old man, so he wanted to encourage Song Changming to take action so that he could get a glimpse of the secret.

If Tang Kecha harbors ill intentions towards Song Changming, the Binding God Seal on his soul will detect it immediately.

These thoughts of exploitation, though not maliciously directed at Song Changming, did manage to evade the Binding God Seal's perception. Unfortunately, Song Changming eventually detected these intentions, nearly costing him his life.

"I'm giving you this warning. From now on, use your cleverness in the right places," Song Changming said, squinting his eyes.

"Yes, yes." Tang Ke paused for a moment, then quickly agreed, and the stinging pain in her soul finally subsided.

Fran and Biyougen exchanged a glance, both speechless.

Old man Fufeng stood on a high rock, sitting cross-legged, gesturing with his hands.

"Old Man Fufeng has mastered a technique of transforming paper cranes into spirits. Under his control, the scattered paper cranes can observe any unusual activity in the valley at any time."

"When you fell into the valley, it was his paper crane that saw you, which led us to come and rescue you."

Tang Kecha explained cautiously. It must be said that he was indeed very perceptive. When he was by Song Changming's side, he could understand without Song Changming saying much.

After what had just happened, he started calling her "master" more and more naturally, unlike Fran and Biyougen, who were still somewhat awkward.

Boom!

Soon, a loud rumbling sound came from the depths of the valley.

The anticipated great flood surged in, with waters tens of meters high rushing in like dragons, instantly submerging the valleys.
