154: Chapter 184 Battle against the Fire Qilin

"Mm!"

Jiang Ling nodded.

No matter what, he had to obtain the most resources this time.

Following Medusa's guidance, Jiang Ling dashed forward quickly, soon arriving at the base of a cliff.

Medusa pointed halfway up the cliff and said, "That is a nine-leaf spirit-communicating grass!"

"Looking at its age, it's likely tens of thousands of years old. If I eat it, my strength will definitely increase by a huge margin!"

"Then go ahead!"

Jiang Ling picked up Medusa and threw her upward with all his might!

Whoosh!

Medusa instantly flew near the nine-leaf spirit-communicating grass!

Medusa's body suddenly grew larger, and with one gulp, she swallowed the nine-leaf spirit-communicating grass.

After eating it, Medusa turned back into a small snake and slowly fell from mid-air.

She had already recovered quite a bit of Divine Power; although she still couldn't fly completely, making herself float a bit was no problem.

Jiang Ling grabbed Medusa with one hand, tossed her onto his neck, and continued searching for other Heaven And Earth Treasures!

"This is a Nine-Headed Fleeceflower Root, Master, let me eat this too!"

"This is a Nine Yang Divine Plant, Master, let me eat this too!"

"This is a Phoenix-Tail Cockscomb Flower, Master, let me eat this too!"

"Uh... this is a Purple Gold Mineral Vein!"

"Master, you can dig this out. It's very valuable, a top-grade Material for forging weapons!"

"If you can't dig it out for now, you can mark it and bring others to dig it next time!"

...

Under Medusa's guidance, Jiang Ling moved extremely fast and obtained many things.

However, the vast majority were eaten by Medusa!

"Master, there's a very powerful exotic beast ahead!"

"There must be a treasure!"

Suddenly, Medusa's small head perked up, looking forward!

Jiang Ling nodded and immediately flew over.

When he got close, Jiang Ling saw a tall exotic beast lying at the entrance of a cave.

This exotic beast had a majestic and powerful body with well-defined muscle lines, containing endless power. The scales covering its body were a vibrant crimson, like a blazing fire, each one shimmering with a dazzling light as if formed from solidified magma.

Its head was massive and majestic, its eyes like burning fireballs, projecting a scorching and sharp light that made one dare not look directly at it. The single horn on its head was as sharp as a sword, gleaming with golden light, as if it could pierce through any obstacle.

"Is this... a Fire Qilin?"

Jiang Ling was startled.

"It is indeed a Fire Qilin!"

Medusa's eyes lit up. "It's guarding here; there must be a treasure!"

"But this Fire Qilin's strength seems very high!"

Jiang Ling gauged it and found that he wasn't certain he could defeat this Fire Qilin!

"It's okay, Master, let's attack together!"

Medusa said excitedly, "I smell a powerful Heaven And Earth Treasure inside this cave!"

"It's definitely worth the risk!"

"Alright!" Jiang Ling nodded.

Since they had encountered it, he would be unwilling if he didn't give it a try.

Medusa quickly slithered down from Jiang Ling's neck and transformed into her original form.

Jiang Ling held the blood transformation divine saber and moved forward slowly. A strange blood-light flickered on the blade, like a bloodthirsty beast eager to tear apart its enemy.

Medusa followed closely behind in her half-human, half-snake form. Her cold and elegant face was now full of vigilance, and the thick snake tail of her lower body slithered slowly on the ground, making a slight friction sound, like a giant python waiting for its chance.

Before they had gone far, the Fire Qilin discovered their presence.

The Fire Qilin stood up abruptly, its eyes burning like flames, letting out a low roar.

Raging flames burned all over the Fire Qilin, making it look like a living volcano, illuminating the cave in a bright red.

Its ferocious face was filled with majesty and anger, as if warning the two uninvited guests: "How dare you invade my territory? I'll make sure you never return!"

"Go!"

Jiang Ling gave a low shout and rushed toward the Fire Qilin holding the blood transformation divine saber.

Medusa also revealed a ferocious expression, her eyes wide with piercing killing intent!

Seeing this, the Fire Qilin suddenly opened its large mouth, and a torrent of scorching flames surged toward Jiang Ling and Medusa. The flames were like a violent fire dragon, baring its fangs and claws as it pounced on them.

Jiang Ling reacted quickly, his body flashing as he swung the blood transformation divine saber, unleashing a sharp Saber Qi in an attempt to split the fierce "fire dragon."

Medusa quickly twisted her snake tail and retreated. At the same time, her eyes were fixed on the Fire Qilin, preparing to find an opportunity to launch a petrification attack, her gaze just like a hunter waiting for the best moment to shoot.

However, the Fire Qilin's flames were too powerful. Although Jiang Ling's Saber Qi weakened part of the flames' power, some flames still pounced on him.

The flames were like a demon's claws, instantly igniting the corner of his clothes and burning his skin.

The dragon scale battle armor on his body was actually completely unable to withstand it!

But Jiang Ling did not retreat; instead, like a brave warrior, he charged into the flames.

Medusa saw her chance and whipped her snake tail hard at the Fire Qilin, her tail like a heavy steel whip.

The Fire Qilin dodged to the side, but it didn't expect Medusa's tail to emit a mysterious power, causing slight signs of petrification to appear on its side, as if it had been draped in a layer of rigid armor.

This caused the Fire Qilin's movements to slow down slightly.

Jiang Ling took the opportunity to use the Heaven-Slaying Demonic Saber Blade Technique. His figure instantly became ethereal, and the blood transformation divine saber was like a bolt of blood-red lightning flashing through the darkness, continuously leaving wounds on the Fire Qilin's body.

But the Fire Qilin's Realm was extremely high, having reached at least the Sixth Order Late Stage. Its hide was thick and its flesh tough; these wounds didn't cause fatal damage but instead further enraged it.

The Fire Qilin roared, the flames on its body surging again like a torrential wave. It whipped its tail violently, its powerful force whipping up a gust of wind that knocked Jiang Ling and Medusa back several meters.

Jiang Ling crashed into the cave's stone wall like a cannonball, spitting out a mouthful of blood and leaving a shocking mark on the wall.

It was only because Jiang Ling's Chaos Body was strong enough; otherwise, he would have exploded and died instantly from that hit.

Medusa quickly rushed to Jiang Ling, using her body to block subsequent attacks like a loyal guardian.

She launched another petrification attack, this time successfully causing one of the Fire Qilin's front legs to petrify completely, making it look like a heavy stone pillar.

The Fire Qilin's movements were greatly restricted, but it still relied on its powerful strength and flames to counterattack, like a trapped beast making its final struggle.

Jiang Ling endured the pain and stood up again, his eyes filled with determination as the Destruction Divine Thunder was activated at this moment.
