Unfortunately, it hadnât overcome the hurdle of the Wood Charm when Zhou Chun returned.
At this very moment, seeing Zhou Chun return, the âThunder Wriggle Beastâ immediately abandoned the Wood Charm and tried to escape into the ground, attempting to flee using the Earth Escape Technique.
However, among the Five Elements, the wood element happened to restrain the earth element.
As soon as the âThunder Wriggle Beastâ touched the ground, emerald green plants grew at the point of contact, instantly absorbing and disrupting the surrounding earth element energies. Moreover, they formed an intricate web of roots underground, entrapping it.
Although it quickly shattered those roots with thunder released from its silver-white horn, it was no longer able to use its Earth Escape Divine Skills in the area.
Meanwhile, Zhou Chun had already closed in, immediately releasing several âSkyfrost Cold Beesâ from his sleeve that he had collected earlier.
The âThunder Wriggle Beastâ had previously witnessed the might of the âSkyfrost Cold Beesâ and, seeing Zhou Chun release them, let out a terrified howling noise.
Then something astonishing happened.
The âThunder Wriggle Beastâ suddenly emitted a yellow light from its head, surprisingly shedding its silver-white unicorn horn.
As soon as it departed from the âThunder Wriggle Beastâsâ body, the beastâs aura diminished sharply, and its cultivation level dropped by a significant percentage.
Furthermore, the silver-white thunder patterns on its body immediately dimmed substantially.
But the âThunder Wriggle Beastâ flung its head, wrapping the shed silver-white horn with mana and sending it flying towards Zhou Chun, while letting out a hoarse whimpering sound and nodding its head repeatedly towards the ground, as if begging for mercy from Zhou Chun.
âOh, you beast, you are quite clever!â
Zhou Chun exclaimed in surprise, also astonished by the âThunder Wriggle Beastâsâ highly intelligent behavior.
Demon beasts begging for mercy was not unusual, but such an intelligent display as shown by the âThunder Wriggle Beastâ was beyond the capabilities of ordinary demon beasts.
Zhou Chun guessed that this âThunder Wriggle Beastâ very likely had a fortuitous encounter and consumed some spiritual items that aided its awakening, allowing it to learn the strategy of sacrificing a part to save the whole, using its most valuable silver-white horn to save its life.
âWell, given the difficulties of your cultivation, Iâll grant you a good turn today and spare your life!â
After examining the âThunder Wriggle Beastâ with a flickering gaze, Zhou Chun eventually nodded, deciding to let the beast go.
To him, the most valuable thing on the âThunder Wriggle Beastâ was this silver-white unicorn horn.
Although its demon core was also valuable and could potentially enhance Thunder Flood Dragon Baibaiâs cultivation level, it wasnât essential.
Besides, âThunder Wriggle Beastsâ were a rare sight in the Cultivation World today, with few achieving the third rank like this one.
Sparing its life today might prove beneficial in the future!
Having made this decision, Zhou Chun immediately reached out to capture the silver-white horn, then withdrew his attacking Magic Artifact, and also had the Wood Charm withdraw its hostility.
Seeing this, the âThunder Wriggle Beastâ joyfully bowed repeatedly towards him, then swiftly slithered along the ground for a distance before flashing a yellow light on its body and vanishing underground using the Earth Escape skill.
Watching the âThunder Wriggle Beastâ depart, Zhou Chun turned to gaze at the silver-white horn in his hand, lovingly stroking it as he exclaimed, âWhat a treasure! If someone in need comes across this, theyâd probably trade a Dharma Treasure for it!â
After all, this is a treasure that could aid a fourth-order high-grade demon beast in transcending the âHeavenly Thunder Tribulationâ!
As for those fourth-order high-grade demon beasts, if they possessed Dharma Treasures, theyâd willingly trade not just one, but two or three pieces for this item.
Zhou Chun hadnât thought of how to utilize this item for the time being, given that he had Thunder Flood Dragon Baibai as a spirit pet. He probably wouldnât need to refine it into a Magic Artifact, so he decided to store it for later use.
After securing the âThunder Wriggle Beastâsâ unicorn horn, Zhou Chun proceeded to handle the remains of the blue-robed swordsman.
The man seemed to have some kind of background, as the words of the middle-aged man in the blue robe hinted at a connection to a Golden Core family.
But unfortunately, this was the Great Zhou Kingdom, and a mere Golden Core family unknown to Zhou Chun couldnât cause much trouble.
Not to mention, Zhou Chun hadnât used his real identity, and even if he had, he wasnât too afraid of a Golden Core family.
After all, as long as he wasnât confronted directly by a Golden Core Stage cultivator, with the help of Thunder Flood Dragon Baibai who succeeded in transforming into a Flood Dragon, there werenât many at the Purple Mansion Phase who could kill him.
At this time, he casually set the blue-robed swordsmanâs body ablaze, turning it to ashes. Zhou Chun then waited for Baibai to complete its evolution while cracking open the blue-robed swordsmanâs storage pouch.
Several hours later, while Baibai had not yet finished evolving, Zhou Chun had already opened the blue-robed swordsmanâs storage pouch.
Since the venture was in a dangerous place like the Black Mist Marsh, the spirit coins in the blue-robed swordsmanâs storage pouch were indeed few, only a scant few thousand. However, there were a considerable number of spiritual objects produced within the Black Mist Marsh, as well as some materials from demon beasts, indicating a stay there for quite some time. Now, they were all Zhou Chunâs gain.
The cyan flying sword he used was also a third-order mid-grade Magic Artifact, worth quite a few spirit coins.
Upon thoroughly inspecting the blue-robed swordsmanâs storage pouch, Zhou Chun found several tampered items, including a bottle of valuable healing pills, a few spirit coins, and a 700-year-old spiritual medicine plant.
He could sense the subtle divine sense marks left by someone, likely a Golden Core Stage cultivator from the blue-robed swordsmanâs family.
If someone had killed the blue-robed swordsman and carelessly ignored these anomalies, they might have fallen into a big trap.
But Zhou Chun was always cautious and, being from a Golden Core family, wasnât someone of shallow experience. Such tactics couldnât deceive him.
He incinerated all the problematic items and destroyed the blue-robed swordsmanâs storage pouch as well.
This way, he wouldnât have to worry about being tracked down by that Golden Core Stage cultivator from the so-called Qinglan Li Family after leaving the Black Mist Marsh.
Zhou Chun then patiently waited for several more hours until a clear dragon chant suddenly rang out in the sky.
Thunder Flood Dragon Baibai had finally successfully evolved!
