Serpent Ancestor

”Alright!”

Without hesitation, Xu Bai climbed onto Xu Hei’s back and wrapped herself around him.

”Hold on tight!”

With a thought, Xu Hei transformed into a bolt of lightning, shooting off into the distance, leaving countless afterimages in his wake, making it impossible to discern direction or reality.

Ever-changing Fish and Dragon, seventh level!

In that instant, he widened the gap between himself and the blue frog by ten thousand feet.

”What?!”

The blue frog was instantly dumbfounded.

The opponent’s sudden acceleration and the creation of numerous afterimages made him lose track of his target in an instant. He tried to find traces on the sea surface, but the water was in chaos, making it impossible to track. Even if he found them, he couldn’t catch up at that speed.

He could only watch helplessly as the countless black and white snake figures vanished into the distance.The blue frog felt both angry and humiliated, a towering rage rising in his heart.

What made it worse was that they ran away, and still had the audacity to show off their affection right in front of him. Damn it!

”Fine! Very well! Xu Bai, you dare reject me, you’ve successfully caught my attention. I, Yuan, refuse to believe this!” The blue frog muttered darkly, diving into the water.

…………

Xu Hei sped all the way to the territory of the Turtle lineage before stopping.

By now, the blue frog was far behind, unable to catch up. Even if he did, he wouldn’t dare do anything on the Turtle’s territory.

Xu Bai reluctantly climbed down from the snake’s back, saying, ”Thank you, you’re really fast!”

”Of course, as a male, I have to be fast!”

Xu Hei felt quite proud of the compliment.

”……” Xu Bai suddenly fell silent.

At this moment, a deep voice came from afar.

”Xu Bai, the black task is fraught with danger, come to me, and I will give you something to save your life.”

It was the voice of Elder Green Turtle.

It was only natural to offer some protection to important disciples who were about to venture out.

”I’ll be right there!”

Xu Bai quickly nodded, then said to Xu Hei, ”Xu Hei, actually, you could try asking Elder Mo, he might have something good too!”

Xu Hei’s eyes lit up, of course, he was also about to face danger, as the last member under Elder Mo’s command, he should get some benefits too.

”Alright, I’ll give it a try.”

Xu Hei immediately left, heading straight for the newcomer assessment island.

Before long, he arrived at his destination, landing on the island.

At this moment, Elder Mo was lying at the entrance of the cave dwelling, his chest rising and falling, snoring like thunder.

Xu Hei approached, but Elder Mo didn’t even bother to open his eyes.

Xu Hei hesitated for a moment, feeling awkward about directly asking for something, so he awkwardly said, ”Elder Mo, I’ve come to see you.”

Elder Mo stopped snoring and said, ”Spit it out quickly, don’t disturb my sleep.”

Xu Hei said, ”It’s nothing much, just wanted to thank you for teaching me the immortal spells. I’ve already learned the first move of the Azure Dragon Combat Technique, Dragon Tail Swing, but I have some questions about the technique, like... the force application.” ℝÁŊօΒĚ𝙎

Xu Hei stammered, unsure how to ask, so he started with something else.

Elder Mo finally opened his eyes, looking at Xu Hei in surprise, ”What nonsense are you talking about?”

”Huh?” Xu Hei looked puzzled.

”I didn’t leave anything on the island, no combat technique you mentioned.” Elder Mo closed his eyes again, turning over to continue sleeping.

Xu Hei was dumbfounded, quickly saying, ”But the drawings on the wall...”

”You must have seen wrong, you must be hallucinating.” Elder Mo interrupted him.

”……” Xu Hei was speechless.

Elder Mo was definitely pretending, but since he wouldn’t say, Xu Hei didn’t press further.

”Elder Mo, could you give me some guidance on the Elemental Infant stage’s insight?” Xu Hei asked again.

”Why are you asking about that when you’re only at the mid-stage of the demon core? Wait until you’ve reached the Great Perfection of the Demon Core Stage!” Elder Mo replied.

Xu Hei was left speechless, since Elder Mo was unwilling to answer, he had to resort to his special skill.

Xu Hei lowered his head, showing a sad expression, and sighed, ”I’ve taken on a black task, extremely dangerous, but I have no choice. If I die out there, Elder Mo’s lineage will be left with no one.”

Hearing this, Elder Mo, who had been listless and snoring, suddenly sprang up, staring intently at Xu Hei, his eyes shining.

”You took on a black task, are you courting death?” Elder Mo scolded.

”It’s like this, I’m also forced by circumstances...”

Xu Hei explained his situation.

Elder Mo listened in confusion, the more he listened, the more puzzled he became. It seemed he was unaware of the arrangements made by the six major demon clans.

Xu Hei had to explain the ins and outs again, and only then did Elder Mo understand.

”Ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous! Who sends newcomers to the Giant Shark lineage? And to carry out a black task, utterly ridiculous! Are the high-ups of the Penglai Sea raised on crap?”

Elder Mo was furious, cursing loudly.

Xu Hei was also stunned, helplessly saying, ”So, I can only seek your help, others have their elders and backers, but I have no one to rely on. If you have any life-saving techniques, please share them with me.”

”Also, I won’t take your help for nothing, I can exchange it with ancient spirit medicine!”

Xu Hei took out a thousand-year-old spirit medicine, with eight left.

Elder Mo glanced at the ginseng-like spirit medicine, then at Xu Hei, sighing helplessly.

”Can’t do anything with you, kid. What did you say earlier?”

”Azure Dragon Combat Technique.”

”Not that, the next one.”

”Elemental Infant insight!”

”That’s right, I can give you that!”

Elder Mo opened his mouth, spitting out a golden jade slip, saying, ”This is the decree of the Elemental Infant stage. As long as you activate it, you can use the Elemental Infant insight against enemies. Generally speaking, human cultivators are better at these, while we demonic beasts mainly rely on our physical bodies and immortal spells, not focusing on insight damage.”

”Even if there is insight, it’s all about enhancing combat power, nothing bizarre will appear, you can use it with confidence.”

Xu Hei’s mind immediately recalled the insights contained in the stone wall of the cave dwelling, the Azure Dragon Combat Technique.

Those insights could materialize, showcasing each move and technique, extremely powerful.

”Thank you, Elder Mo!”

Xu Hei carefully stored the golden jade slip, expressing his gratitude solemnly.

The reason for seeking the Elemental Infant stage’s insight was also because his Dragon Battle in the Wild required insight to unleash!

”Also, don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to, my Flood Dragon skin is almost plucked bald, and you still want to pluck more, do you have any conscience!” Elder Mo scolded.

”……” Xu Hei was at a loss for words.

The old Flood Dragon’s skin was indeed almost bald.

”If you want something, go to the Treasure Pavilion to exchange for it, don’t bother me!”

After saying this, Elder Mo tossed a token, then lay down, snoring thunderously, probably impossible to wake.

Xu Hei stared at the token on the ground, his eyes gleaming, and picked it up.

This was a token symbolizing identity, Xu Hei also had one, but in terms of material and pattern, the two were completely different.

Elder Mo’s token was obviously more advanced, entirely pitch black, covered with dragon patterns, while Xu Hei’s was plain and ordinary.

”Treasure Pavilion? Exchange?”

Xu Hei pondered, then took to the air, flying towards the Treasure Pavilion.

Not long after Xu Hei left, Elder Mo opened his eyes, swallowed the spirit medicine on the ground, chewed twice, and muttered to himself, ”Hmph, young people these days, so outrageous! For the sake of this spirit medicine, I won’t hold it against you.”
