Chapter 697: Famous Throughout Luotian, Greedy Wolf’s Small Treasure

Wang Lin slapped his Storage Pouch with his right hand, taking out a large quantity of Immortal Ascension Fruits. He calmly watched the Thunder Beast in the distance, which was tightly entangled by tentacles, struggling continuously but no longer daring to roar.

With a wave of his right hand, these Immortal Ascension Fruits immediately shattered into juice. After being ignited by his Primordial Spirit essence, they instantly transformed into a red mist. Carrying the red mist, Wang Lin stomped his foot and directly arrived at the spot where the Thunder Beast was trapped. He raised his right hand and struck down fiercely.

Only crisp cracking sounds echoed as the red mist quickly descended, enveloping the Thunder Beast. The tentacles wrapped around its body immediately loosened slightly, and their color gradually turned bright red.

Taking advantage of the loosening tentacles, the Thunder Beast's entire body immediately glowed with intense electricity. Carrying the electric light, its massive body quickly shrank, eventually transforming into the God-Slaying Chariot, and then it rushed out.

Wang Lin grabbed at the Void Realm with his left hand, pulling the God-Slaying Chariot into his Storage Pouch.

Evidently, the Thunder Beast was scared. It had originally been stubbornly unwilling to revert and return to the Storage Pouch, but now it had compromised.

After putting away the Thunder Beast, Wang Lin acted alone. Each time, he first used the red mist to temporarily loosen the tentacles, then landed on the ground, using the juice of the Immortal Ascension Fruits along with his own imprint, to integrate into the base of the tentacles.

He repeated this process. Fortunately, the number of Immortal Ascension Fruits in his Storage Pouch was enormous, exceeding what he had previously needed. Otherwise, with this method, they would have long been exhausted. But even so, the Immortal Ascension Fruits were still not enough.

Wang Lin proceeded cautiously, on high alert. Several days later, he finally infused the juice of the Immortal Ascension Fruits into the vast majority of the tentacles on this Cloud Mist Star.

"Seven or eight tenths of the Moon Gazer's tentacles have already been infused with the juice of the Immortal Ascension Fruits. I only need a thought, and the imprints on them will collapse. It's a pity the Immortal Ascension Fruits are all gone. If there were more, affecting all the tentacles would be even more perfect."

Wang Lin pondered for a moment, then abandoned the idea of leaving to continue searching for Immortal Ascension Fruits. This place was too strange, and Wang Lin worried that by the next time he came, there might be new changes.

Once the Moon Gazer truly awakened, the efforts to anesthetize it with Immortal Ascension Fruits would all be in vain.

Wang Lin's eyes flickered slightly. After landing on the ground, he sank downwards and drilled into the earth. Within the soil underground, there was even more viscous liquid. Immortal power circulated within his body, pushing these viscous fluids aside.

Without stopping, Wang Lin cautiously headed directly for the massive Golden Flame mineral vein deep underground. But he hadn't sunk far into the earth when Wang Lin's eyes flashed, and he carefully looked around.

Within the surrounding soil, Wang Lin discovered subtle fluctuations of immortal power. These fluctuations were congealed within the viscous liquid of the soil, appearing faintly.

Wang Lin clearly remembered that the last time he came here, the viscous liquid was murky, without a trace of immortal power.

"It seems that in the past century, someone entered the Moon Gazer's interior and cast a great Divine Ability Spell, which caused immortal power to remain within the Moon Gazer's body, and further caused the Moon Gazer to transition from its second state to its third state."

As Wang Lin pondered, he slowly descended. After an unknown amount of time, he arrived at the location of the entire Golden Flame mineral vein he had seen before, which was the Moon Gazer's Bone!

Flaming light flickered, dimly illuminating the deep, dark underground. Looking at the Moon Gazer's Bone before him, Wang Lin's eyes gleamed. His purpose for this trip was precisely this!

He placed his right hand on the Moon Gazer's Bone, about to absorb it, but immediately stopped, pondering with suspicion.

"Being able to make the Moon Gazer transition from its second state indicates that the newcomer's cultivation is astonishing. If such a person were dead, then so be it, but if they are not dead, but rather hidden within the Moon Gazer's body or trapped, then activating the imprints on the Immortal Ascension Fruits when I absorb this Moon Gazer's Bone might draw this person out! If that truly happens, it will add many variables."

Wang Lin withdrew his right hand, remained silent for a moment, then followed the Moon Gazer's Bone forward. He planned to search carefully to see if there were any other Cultivators present here.

Wang Lin was always extremely cautious when caution was required, especially now that the matter was of great importance. A slight oversight could lead to death, leaving Wang Lin no room for doubt.

"Extracting the Moon Gazer's Bone from within the Moon Gazer's body, this journey, is among the top three most perilous events of my life." Wang Lin's eyes flickered, becoming even more cautious.

In the Ancient God Land, he relied on resourcefulness. In the Rain Immortal Realm, he relied on caution. In the Demon Spirit Land, he relied on decisiveness.

He moved along the Moon Gazer's Bone. After a long while, Wang Lin's steps suddenly halted, and his eyes burst with sharp light, staring intently at the Moon Gazer's Bone ahead.

There was a huge Rift there, and on the Rift, there was a layer of dried viscous liquid, obviously due to the passage of too much time.

This Rift was very deep, almost severing the Moon Gazer's Bone. Wang Lin clearly remembered that back then, this entire Moon Gazer's Bone definitely did not have this Rift.

Cautiously taking a few steps forward, Wang Lin looked closely, a hint of solemnity appearing in his eyes.

"No wonder the Moon Gazer transitioned to its third form. The pain caused by this injury is enough to enrage the Moon Gazer. The person who inflicted this injury obviously doesn't recognize the Moon Gazer, otherwise, they would never dare to do so."

Wang Lin's mouth curved into a cold smile. His body flickered, bypassing this spot and continuing forward. But he had not gone far when his body stopped again. He looked back at the huge Rift, feeling that something was amiss.

After a brief moment of contemplation, he returned to the side of the Rift and followed the dried viscous liquid with his gaze. After a long while, his eyes burst with sharp light, and he raised his right hand, waving it over the dried viscous liquid.

Immediately, immortal power surged forth, blowing like an immortal wind. The dried viscous liquid instantly melted, dripping around, revealing the deep Rift within.

Stuck deep within this Rift was a huge boulder!

Previously, the viscous liquid had obscured it, and Wang Lin had not seen clearly. Moreover, the surroundings of this boulder had almost assimilated with the Moon Gazer's Bone, becoming indistinguishable.

However, when Wang Lin left just now, he felt that the immortal power here was much denser than in other places, and the source of this immortal power was precisely that Rift.

Staring at the huge boulder that had already assimilated with the Golden Flame mineral vein formed by the Moon Gazer's Bone, the sharp light in Wang Lin's eyes dissipated, replaced by a strange glow.

"Greedy Wolf!" Wang Lin's face revealed a sinister expression.

Wang Lin had seen this boulder before. It was the Magic Treasure that had been taken from Greedy Wolf's hands in the Demon Spirit Land, from which he had extracted a mountain spirit to attack.

"They really came after me!" Wang Lin's eyes flickered. At this moment, he was no longer in a hurry to extract the Moon Gazer's Bone.

"I just don't know if they all came, or only a few, or perhaps only this Greedy Wolf!" Wang Lin stared at the boulder stuck within the Moon Gazer's Bone, stroked his chin, and then rushed forward, directly entering the huge Rift.

The surrounding bone walls were uneven, and a large number of Golden Flame Stones emitted a faint light, looking quite dazzling.

"The Seven Star Sword Formation was absorbed by the Moon Gazer's tentacles and its whereabouts are unknown, but this boulder here cannot be let go. Given Greedy Wolf's identity and habits, the Magic Treasures he possesses are definitely not ordinary items!" Wang Lin's eyes showed a strange light. After carefully looking around, he came to the edge of the boulder.

The edge had already assimilated with the Moon Gazer's Bone, making them indistinguishable. One could even see some Golden Fire Stones growing within the boulder.

"The assimilation is very thorough, which makes it a bit difficult. The power of the Immortal Ascension Fruits cannot be used right now." Wang Lin pondered for a moment, then formed a sword with two fingers of his right hand and tested the hardness of the boulder. This object was extremely hard; Wang Lin's finger, imbued with immortal power, left no trace on it. His eyes flickered, and he channeled a trace of Ling Tianhou's Sword Qi into his two fingers. He simply gave up on trying to obtain the complete boulder, instead reducing its size by three feet, bypassing the assimilated part, and waving downwards at the edge.

Silently, a Rift appeared on the boulder, slowly extending deeper. Finally, a faint cracking sound was heard, and this side edge of the boulder detached from the Moon Gazer's Bone.

Wang Lin chose his position very cleverly, completely avoiding the assimilated parts and not stimulating the Moon Gazer.

Coming to the other side, Wang Lin carefully observed for a moment, then waved his two fingers again. This time, he was even more cautious, because the assimilation of the boulder on this side was much more severe than on the other end.

Wang Lin's two fingers of his right hand slowly moved along the assimilated veins, about to fully excavate the boulder. But just then, Wang Lin's fingers suddenly paused. A chill came from behind him, instantly making his scalp tingle.

He didn't even dare to release his Divine Sense. Under the pressure of this chill, it was as if someone had closed their eyes and was pointing a sword at their glabella, causing a throbbing pain.

This feeling, accompanied by a chill, appeared on his back.

This feeling was constant and vaguely tended to grow stronger. Wang Lin's eyes flashed with a cold light. He waved his right hand over the boulder in front, grabbed the carved-out boulder, and shot upwards. At the same time, he pointed his left hand behind him.

Body Fixing Art!

All of this was completed in an instant, without any hesitation. The moment Wang Lin moved, a muffled roar came from behind. As he grabbed the boulder, Wang Lin's speed was incredibly fast. As soon as he flew out, he immediately put the boulder into his Storage Pouch, and without looking back, he plunged into the soil. He also unhesitatingly used one of the escape Divine Abilities he had learned from the old man in the Demon Spirit Land. Behind him, roars echoed. The moment he flew up, his Divine Sense swept out, and he was immediately horrified to discover that the thing behind him was a small Moon Gazer, mostly submerged in the soil, with its front section about ten zhang long!

This small Moon Gazer was enveloped by the Body Fixing Art, and its charging momentum paused slightly, giving Wang Lin the best opportunity to escape. In just an instant, Wang Lin's figure disappeared. The small Moon Gazer regained its movement, but with blood-red eyes, it scanned in all directions, roaring, then retracted its body into the soil and vanished.

In the distance, Wang Lin moved extremely fast, traversing through the soil. The scene just now made him even more aware of the dangers here.

"Just how many Moon Gazers are there here!" Wang Lin's face was gloomy.

What made him feel most terrified was that the Moon Gazer had appeared extremely strangely. He hadn't detected it at all. He hadn't encountered such a phenomenon in a very long time.

"That Moon Gazer is also in its third state. Damn Greedy Wolf, what exactly did he do to cause such a change here? If he merely inserted a boulder into the Moon Gazer's Bone, it definitely wouldn't be like this!"

Wang Lin, who was in the midst of fleeing, suddenly stopped. He seemed to have thought of something, and his face grew even gloomier.

"Could it be…"

I regret writing about the Moon Gazer's chrysanthemum, it's a bad omen. It caused my monthly votes to plummet, and now even the recommendation rankings are unstable. I'm only 300 votes away from dropping off the list. If others make a push, renegade immortal will be knocked from tenth place directly to sixteenth, a six-place drop, a bloody mess.

Please give me your monthly votes, let me hold on for a few more days before being knocked down again. I need to recover; being continuously knocked down is very painful!

Please give me your recommendation votes, Fellow Daoists. Give Er Gen the same level of support as last week, to avoid being knocked down six times in a row. That would be the most tragic thing of 2010.
