The Urban Medical Martial Immortal

Chapter 1506: Chapter 1499: Giant Python

Dead Spirit Swamp.

Lin Tian followed the Demon Cloud Ghost twins, Sikou Hen and Sikou Shen, delving deeper into the swamp.

The surrounding mist grew thicker and denser.

The view was murky, one could barely make out the larger ruins emitting black smoke.

Here, there seemed to be a strange power blocking Divine Sense.

Even Lin Tian couldn’t extend his Divine Sense beyond a dozen meters.

Trying to see what was in the ruins, or if there might be any treasures, was very difficult.

Looking up, the sky was gray as well, and the mist seemed to stretch into the Void.

If not for the company of Sikou Hen and Sikou Shen, Lin Tian would have flown up to check things out.

But this place was too strange and unknown, so he chose to be cautious.

”Is this an ancient battlefield ruin?”

Lin Tian knew nothing about this place, so he turned around to ask the Demon Cloud Ghosts.

But after clearly seeing the two, he couldn’t help but chuckle.

Sikou Hen and Sikou Shen were both emitting black smoke, as if their entire bodies were about to combust.

That black smoke, Lin Tian could see, was a mix of the poisonous gas and Demonic Qi from the Dead Spirit Swamp, forming a terrifying corrosive aura that was melting their clothes.

If not for their strong cultivation, they might have been injured by now.

But even so, they were extremely uncomfortable, and their faces were somewhat pale.

”The ruins ahead can wait! Can you help detoxify us first?”

Sikou Shen said with a pained expression, frowning as he spoke to Lin Tian.

Lin Tian nodded with a smile, stopped, turned around, and said, ”Your cultivation technique is quite unique to be countered by the swamp’s poisonous gas! If there were other strong opponents here, killing you would be as easy as killing chickens or dogs! But tell me, are you here for the possible treasures within these ruins or something else?”

From the beginning, Lin Tian had been calm and collected when facing them.

Here they were, in the terrifying swamp, yet he remained composed and calm.

This astonished Sikou Hen and Sikou Shen, filling their hearts with doubt.

”Humph, what’s the harm in telling you!”

Though they were puzzled, the two didn’t think too much about it, and Sikou Shen said to Lin Tian, ”But you need to detoxify us first!”

”That’s simple! I’ll detoxify you every so often to ensure you don’t die here!”

Lin Tian smiled blandly, flipped his hand to take out a silver needle, and began detoxifying them.

Using the silver needle to remove toxins from their bodies was faster and more thorough.

Five minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and Lin Tian stopped his hand.

The black smoke on the two began to dissipate slowly, and their faces gradually turned rosy.

”Your ancestral technique can even counter the poisons here; it’s simply miraculous!”

Feeling relieved once more, Sikou Shen couldn’t help but praise.

Sikou Hen, with a stern face, also nodded in agreement.

He looked at Lin Tian with increased curiosity and doubt.

Who is this young man?

Questions filled Sikou Hen’s mind.

But.

Eventually, he didn’t have time to delve deeper and spoke up, ”This time, we’re in the swamp for the Dead Spirit Pond deep within! It holds extremely precious treasures, supreme refining treasures! If obtained, there’s a chance to create a top-level Spiritual Artifact! Compared to those ruins’ treasures outside, they’re nothing!”

Dead Spirit Pond?

Lin Tian raised his eyebrows, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.

Supreme refining treasures with a chance to forge top-tier Spiritual Artifacts; that’s no small feat!

”Is the Dead Spirit Pond at the deepest part of the swamp?”

Lin Tian curiously inquired.

”Exactly! Initially, I wanted to let the people outside lead the way, but with you, Little Friend, it’s much easier this time! As long as you lead us to the Dead Spirit Pond, I guarantee you’ll receive great benefits! Once there, we won’t be affected by these toxic mists!”

Sikou Shen seized the conversation, saying to Lin Tian, ”If we truly reach the Dead Spirit Pond, not to mention rewards, the Demon Cloud Ghosts will owe you a debt of gratitude!”

At this, Sikou Hen beside also nodded with a smile.

However.

In their eyes, a glimmer of coldness flickered.

The name Demon Cloud Ghosts, in the Demon Cloud Ridge Cultivation Domain, struck fear into countless cultivators!

Normally, these two were merciless killers.

Owing a favor?

That doesn’t exist!

If they didn’t need Lin Tian’s help, they might have already turned on him!

Lin Tian also wasn’t naïve enough to believe their words.

Sikou Hen and Sikou Shen both exuded a thick, murderous aura.

That level of malice was only found in those who had killed countless people.

Even so, Lin Tian remained fearless, intrigued by the idea of venturing into the depths of the Dead Spirit Swamp to see the Dead Spirit Pond. If he could obtain that refining treasure, all the better.

”Alright! If there’s a reward, why not go with you?”

Lin Tian straightforwardly agreed, standing up to continue onward.

”Good! When we reach the place, I’ll make sure you receive an unmatched reward!”

Sikou Hen grinned widely, responding with a smile.

Truly a fearless newcomer, just don’t blame us if you die!

Sikou Shen smiled without speaking, secretly laughing coldly.

The three continued forward.

Soon, a massive ruin appeared ahead, right on their path.

The ruins were shrouded in rolling black smoke, a stench wafting through the air.

Apart from this.

A long-abandoned, ancient aura hit them without warning.

Black skulls, broken swords, shattered skeletons, crumbling walls...

At a glance, it was extremely shocking.

Lin Tian ventured into the ruins, his Divine Sense covering a range of a dozen meters, yet he found no intact treasures or anything noteworthy.

Traversing the rugged ruins, the mist ahead grew denser, surging like waves.

Moreover.

Faintly, one could hear indistinct rumbling sounds.

”Could there be demon beasts inside? The treasure map of the Dead Spirit Pond didn’t mention that!”

Walking behind, Sikou Hen and Sikou Shen frowned simultaneously, exchanging a glance.

Lin Tian’s expression turned serious.

Boom~

Suddenly, a huge noise erupted from the rolling mist ahead.

The mist swept open like a wave, and a colossal shadow broke through the clouds from a dozen meters high.

The head of a massive python appeared in their sight.

Within the swirling mist, it resembled a giant mountain.

Its icy, flickering eyes and the snake’s tongue were terrifying to behold.

Especially as the python’s demonic energy surged like huge waves upon its emergence.

”A third-level top demon beast! Equivalent to a Golden Core Cultivator! Move back!”

Sikou Hen shouted at Lin Tian, stepping forward to charge the giant python.

At the same time, he turned to Sikou Shen, saying, ”Let’s take it down quickly! Who knows if other demon beasts will show up! If there’s another creature around, we’re in trouble!”

The two, having reached the Golden Core Realm and experienced countless life-and-death situations, were well-prepared for such scenarios.

Moreover, it was clear they were determined to obtain the treasures of the Dead Spirit Pond!
