Chapter 3: Giant Octopus, Dragon Transformation

In the area surrounding a river of blood, a large number of eerie-looking zombies and skeletons were wandering around aimlessly. Numerous white bones could be seen flowing down the river from time to time.

Qi Bei sat on a sturdy branch of a large tree several hundred meters away, calmly watching in the direction of the river. Meanwhile, about ten undead creatures were roaming around the tree.

How can I pass through so many undead creatures? And how can I cross this river of blood? Qi Bei wondered aloud, rotating a silver arrow in his hand.

It seemed impossible to force his way through the river of blood as it would attract thousands of undead creatures. Besides, the river was more than a hundred meters wide, and he could not simply cross over by swimming to the other side without drowning.

As he swept his gaze in all directions, Qi Beis eyes suddenly brightened up. The silver arrow in his hand stopped spinning.

Upstream of the river, there were two rock mountains on each side. There seemed to be fewer undead creatures on these rock mountains. If he cleared them out, he could fling a rope made of tree bark over to the opposite mountain with a longbow and then glide across to the other side.

However, although it seemed simple in theory, it was difficult to put into practice. It was not hard to fling the rope to the opposite side, but Qi Bei was not sure if it could support his weight stably. Nevertheless, it was the only way he could think of.

Qi Bei lightly jumped off the tree, moving toward the direction of the rock mountain with silent footsteps.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

On the mountain, two skeletons were trudging aimlessly.

Suddenly, a faint silver light flashed, and the red glow in the hollow eye sockets of both skeletons went out almost at the same time.

Qi Bei appeared from behind a boulder and picked up the arrow that had passed through the ear holes of the two skeletons. However, he found no undead beads after checking their skeletons.

Just as Qi Bei was about to stand up, he suddenly felt a bad premonition in his heart and quickly rolled forward, shooting a bone spear in the opposite direction.

Zhi.

A green venom corroded the rocks on the ground where Qi Bei had just stood.

Not far away, a zombie with pale green skin was pierced through the chest by the bone spear, stuck to a rock, and struggling to break free.

Green venomous zombie? Damn, I almost got caught in his trap. Qi Bei cursed, rushed over, and sliced the zombies head into two with a swift motion.

A green bead fell from the rotted brain fluid.

Green bead It seems that luck is on my side today. Qi Bei grinned slightly. Among the undead beads, the green bead was a medium-level bead, which was higher than the lowest-level blue bead and lower than the high-level silver bead.

Not every undead creature possessed an undead bead. For example, a low-level undead bead was rare, but a high-level silver bead was even rarer.

However, Qi Bei only knew that the undead bead could be used as an energy stone and had detoxifying effects, and he was not sure if it had any other uses.

Qi Bei continued to move toward the top of the rock mountain, clearing out any scattered undead he encountered along the way.

At dusk, Qi Bei finally arrived at the top of the rock mountain.

He untied the bark rope he had prepared along the way and carefully observed the opposite rock mountain for a while. After making sure nothing was wrong he tied the rope tightly to an arrow, pulled back the bowstring, and took aim.

With a twang sound, the arrow shot out like a meteor with the bark rope trailing behind it, piercing precisely through the two branches of a large tree that had grown on the opposite rock mountain. Qi Bei pulled back on the rope and the arrow settled in the center of the two branches.

Haha, my luck is on fire today. It seems passing this blood river will not be a problem. Qi Bei punched the air in excitement and then tied the rope to a huge rock on his side to create a rope bridge.

He placed his longbow on the rope bridge, holding onto the two sides of the bow with his hands, and used his foot to push off and launch himself forward, sliding across to the other side.

Looking down at the dense swarm of undead below, Qi Bei couldnt help but feel a sense of accomplishment.

Soon, Qi Bei found himself gliding over the top of the Blood River, and looking down, he could see the situation in the river more clearly.

Many corpses were floating in the blood river, and the shadows of unknown creatures swam across the surface. It was like hell itself.

Qi Bei was secretly shocked, and the sense of accomplishment he just felt suddenly turned into an inexplicable fear.

Just then, a red-colored shadow broke through the water and shot toward Qi Bei in the air with lightning-like speed.

Whats going on? How can I suddenly breathe? Qi Beis emotions stabilized as he realized he was still in the bloody head of the giant creature, but miraculously he was able to breathe and his body was filled with strength.

Next, Qi Bei discovered the blood-red crystal in his left palm.

Is this the crystal the core of this giant octopus? Qi Bei was stunned for a moment, then tentatively released the crystal. But as soon as his hand left the crystal, he couldnt breathe anymore. Whenever he grabbed the crystal again, he could breathe immediately.

Treasure! Surviving great danger must bring great fortune. That saying is true after all. Qi Bei held the blood-red crystal close to his skin and began to search for a way out.

After half an hour, Qi Bei finally drilled his way out of the dead octopuss body.

Looking at the giant bloody creature lying motionless, Qi Bei became angry and stabbed it fiercely with his bone spear.

Hmm?

At this moment, Qi Bei was shocked to discover that there was a purple metal chain embedded under the head of the bloody octopus. No wonder this octopus, who was severely injured, remained in place without leaving. It turned out to have been tethered here by someone powerful.

Following the purple metal chain, Qi Bei found a place not far from the riverbed where a pile of bones accumulated.

Qi Bei cleared away the pile of bones and an ancient magic circle suddenly appeared. The chain was tied to the center of the magic circle.

Qi Bei had no clue what the purpose of this magic circle was, so after circling around it twice, he decided to leave.

But at this moment, a black ancient book suddenly floated out from Qi Beis body on its own, emitting a faint glow that was particularly dazzling in the bloody river water.

The ancient magic circle on the riverbed also suddenly activated, and a mysterious rune appeared in the center.

At this time, a rune also floated out from the black ancient book, and these two runes appeared to be exactly the same.

The two runes merged instantly, and suddenly the ground shook and the mountains trembled.

With a clang sound, a black sword light like lightning shot straight to Qi Beis forehead, making his heart go cold.

Qi Be didnt have time to react and instinctively reached out his hands to grab the sword energy.

The sharp blade cut his hands, causing blood to flow and staining the black sword red.

Gradually, the sword energy on the black sword disappeared and it turned into an inconspicuous black iron sword.

Qi Beis consciousness became blurry and he only felt a continuous burning sensation in the palm of his left hand, where the dragon pattern was located, forming mysterious characters imprinted in his mind.

Dragon Transformation!

The Nine Transformations of the Divine Dragon was the true core technique of the Divine Dragon Art, which could only be triggered by a woman with an extremely high level of Yin energy.

Although Qi Bei had reached the first level of the Divine Dragon Art, he had not completed the first transformation of the Divine Dragon.

The Divine Dragon was formed by the ultimate Yang energy in the universe, and the so-called Dragon Transformation required a woman with the highest level of Yin energy to balance it. Otherwise, extreme Yang energy would be generated in the body, turning the physical and spiritual body into ashes.

Whenever a woman with the highest level of Yin energy was around, Qi Beis dragon-shaped imprint on the palm of his left hand, the Dragon Seal, would produce a response.

And as long as any part of the womans body touched the Dragon Seal, it would leave a mark on her soul.

This mark was not a form of enslavement, but the woman on whom this mark was placed would be relatively more attracted to the owner of the mark. The balance of Yin and Yang was the law of the universe.

In other words, since Qi Bei triggered the Dragon Transformation, he would have to find women with extremely high levels of Yin energy from all over the world to stabilize his energy if he didnt want to be turned into ashes by the extreme Yang energy in his body.

But now the problem was that Qi Bei was only cut by a black sword, but inexplicably triggered the Dragon Transformation technique.

What Divine Dragon Art? I think it should be called the Divine Art of screwing me over, Qi Bei bitterly smiled. The excitement of reaching the first level of the Divine Dragon Art had long been extinguished.

At that moment, the ancient magic array suddenly shattered, and Qi Bei was swept away by a torrent downstream.
