Dragon's Origin

Chapter 160: Lifting the Curtain (Part 1)

"Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhe, Jie, Zhen, Lie, Zai, Qian Xing!" The Nine Syllable Mantra had been on Wang Sheng's mind ever since he completed the Negative Bixi transformation. Initially, Wang Sheng wanted to use the Nine Syllable Mantra to vibrate his body during cultivation, allowing spiritual Qi and his body to fuse more effectively, thereby enhancing his cultivation efficiency.

This direction was correct, at least for cultivation. But unfortunately, it only strengthened him internally and couldn't be used for attack, which seemed somewhat unsatisfactory.

It was the Shadow Old Eunuch who gave Wang Sheng a great hint. His cultivation was unique, and he could even control the direction of sound wave transmission when he spoke. During a simple cultivation session, Wang Sheng suddenly thought of the old eunuch's special skill and tried to apply it to his own Nine Syllable Mantra practice, which could be considered laying the foundation for future Yuan Soul enhancement.

The dragon has nine sons, among them Qiuniu, who loves music, and Pulao, who loves to roar. The Nine Syllable Mantra should be more compatible with Pulao. However, music and roaring are related, and Wang Sheng can cultivate them simultaneously, just like Bixi and Fuxi.

"Lin" and "Bing," the first two syllables, contained Wang Sheng's understanding during this time, especially his understanding of the old eunuch's method, and added some attack characteristics.

With Wang Sheng's current mastery of the Nine Syllable Mantra, he hadn't reached the point of easily injuring people. But being able to jolt Ah Da, who was fleeing in panic, was enough. Suddenly losing control of his body while running and falling face-first was perfectly normal.

So, what followed was logical. Unfortunately for Ah Da, he fell in a place where there was a highly venomous petal snake, which bit him twice, once on the nose and once on the wrist. It was a tragedy.

They had snake medicine. Before everyone set off, Yu Baozhai had proven the effectiveness of their snake medicine, and everyone had prepared a lot. However, the snakes in the Thousand Desolation Land were different from ordinary snakes. Their venom was fierce, and they all had a characteristic after attacking: rapid paralysis throughout the body. Without help, one could only wait for death, no matter how capable they were.

Would anyone help at this time? Obviously, the others weren't as stupid as Ah Da. They didn't understand what he was thinking. Even if they were anxious, they could just go back and bring people in to seize the opportunity. Why threaten Wang Sheng?

"I want half of his equipment," Wang Sheng told everyone to wait quietly until Ah Da succumbed to the venom and the petal snake slowly left. Only then did Wang Sheng go over, drag Ah Da back by his legs.

They weren't from the same force and didn't have any friendship. They had just been at each other's throats and were now enemies. Who would be polite to an enemy? Ah Da's equipment was immediately divided up.

Wang Sheng received a storage ring and a few bottles of pills that looked different. The others divided up the rest, even stripping off his military uniform and boots.

As for Ah Da's body, it was left at the gate tower. Wang Sheng and the others couldn't bury him there anyway. It was a dangerous place, and who knew what they would dig up?

Without Ah Da, even if the others had any ulterior motives, they wouldn't voice them and obediently followed Wang Sheng back. But on the way back, everyone carefully memorized the route they took.

Wang Sheng didn't take everyone back the same way they came. By memorizing both routes, they could basically determine the location of this place and discuss it with their respective forces' higher-ups after returning.

It took half a month to enter, but only ten days to return. When they saw the walls and huge gates of Worry-Free City in the distance, everyone except Wang Sheng felt a sense of relief after surviving a disaster. They finally made it out safely! As for Wang Sheng himself, he had been in and out many times and didn't feel anything.

Out of the ten people, six were injured, and only Wang Sheng and three others were unscathed. The situation should have been better, but two days before they were about to come out, four beauties were too embarrassed to relieve themselves nearby and relaxed their vigilance, thinking they were about to come out. They were attacked by a demon beast, and all four were injured.

If Wang Sheng and the others hadn't arrived quickly and rescued them in time, the four women would have died on the spot. The number of injured suddenly increased to six, causing Wang Sheng to scold them severely and without mercy.

On the walls of Worry-Free City, many people were watching every day, waiting for their return. Now they finally saw their figures, but when Wang Sheng brought them back, the total number was still one short.

"He violated the first rule and died," Wang Sheng didn't explain much. Facing the fiery gaze of the person from that sect who came to meet them, he simply said this as an explanation.

The other party dared to be angry but dared not speak. This was the inner city of Worry-Free City, not a place to fight. He could only suppress his anger and ask the other returning team members what had happened.

The others didn't hide anything and told them exactly what had happened at the time. Everyone said in unison that they hadn't fought each other. The most serious thing was just knocking away a long sword with an arrow, nothing more. Ah Da died from snake bites, which was an undeniable fact.

Hearing that the team had found a gate tower with a character that hadn't been weathered, all parties wisely didn't reveal too much in the crowded city gate. They took their people back and studied it behind closed doors.

The sect to which Ah Da belonged almost cursed Ah Da to death in their hearts. They had already reached the location, and they only needed to remember the location and bring people back. How could he be so stupid as to threaten Wang Sheng to enter on the spot? Was he blinded by greed? Was he crazy for credit? Or did he want to take a bite for himself first?

Wang Sheng didn't care about the thoughts and secret discords of the various parties. He left a sentence at the city gate: "Even the biggest thing can wait until I wake up tomorrow." Then he went straight back to his home, threw himself on the bed, and fell into a deep sleep.

Each time he entered the Thousand Desolation Land, even for Wang Sheng, it was an extremely exhausting task. He had to be vigilant at all times and deal with various emergencies. This time, it was quite good to bring the remaining nine people back alive. As Wang Sheng himself said, even the biggest thing could wait until he woke up.

However, Wang Sheng slept soundly, but the nine people who came out with him had no chance to rest at all. They were taken directly to the sect's family's stronghold in Worry-Free City, and then they drove away the irrelevant and unimportant people themselves. First, they had to draw the routes they had memorized in and out for the person in charge, otherwise, if they waited one or two days, they would forget one or two key points, and that would be a great loss.
