Chapter 177: Sea-Blue Abyss
Amidst towering mountains and endless forests, the Sea Blue Abyss was extremely prone to the emergence of miasma.
After the Hunting Blade Team entered the deep valley, approximately half an hour later, they were finally in the Sea-Blue Abyss.
Looking at the dense forest that covered the sky overhead, Ling Feng finally understood why this place was called the Sea-Blue Abyss.
The towering and dense trees completely blocked the sky, as if one were immersed in a sea of ??woods. Surprisingly, the tops of these trees seemed to have some peculiar luminescent organisms that cast speckled blue light onto the canopy of the dense forest, giving the impression of wandering in a blue ocean.
Of course, this was also because the entire gorge was filled with dense toxic miasma. Under the projection of these speckled lights, the miasma emitted a strange blue light.
The team continued to venture deeper into the Sea-Blue Abyss. Blood Python instructed everyone to protect Xiao Li in the middle and said in a deep voice, "Lone Wolf, Night Owl, you two go to the back of the team and pay attention to whether there are any big creatures biting the tail."
‘Biting the tail’ was a term used in hunting teams that meant to check if demonic beasts were following them or not. Generally, demonic beasts that had reached the third-tier advanced level already possessed some simple cognitive abilities, while fourth-tier demonic beasts had intelligence comparable to ordinary adults.
"Understood!" The two burly men responded, wielding their long swords as they walked to the rear of the team. Their combat prowess was second only to Blood Python and Chen Lei, and their battle experience was extremely rich. Compared to disciples of sects and descendants of prominent families, they exuded a more ferocious aura.
"Red Fox, you're the fastest. Wherever danger arises, you should promptly provide support," Blood Python addressed the fiery figure of the female team member, his voice carrying a hint of gentleness.
"Mhmm." Red Fox nodded slightly, drawing a flexible sword from her waist. She was also a seasoned hunter, having lived through near-death experiences with Blood Python in the Heavenly Forest for seven or eight years. Though their relationship was not openly declared, it was clear to everyone in the team.
Under Blood Python's leadership, the team continued to advance for three days, almost reaching the latter half of the Sea-Blue Abyss without encountering any major dangers.
During this time, some people sustained minor injuries, but Ling Feng did not hesitate to offer his assistance, actively helping to treat them.
Ling Feng's medical skills spoke for themselves; his methods of healing injuries far surpassed Xiao Li's in every aspect.
Therefore, over the past few days, Ling Feng's relationship with the other team members had become increasingly harmonious. Even Xiao Li, who had been targeting him all along, began to accept Ling Feng's presence. Although she still enthusiastically called him ‘pretty boy’, it was no longer with the same hostile attitude as before.
Ling Feng even taught Xiao Li some basic acupuncture and bone-setting techniques. How much she could learn depended on her own understanding, however.
"Prepare to capture the beast!" Blood Python roared. The members of the Hunting Blade Team each took out large nets woven from special materials, carefully watching the white tiger in front of them.
Blood Python took the lead in attacking, while the others seized the opportunity to try to capture it with the nets.
Quickly, with the seamless coordination of the members of the Hunting Blade Team, the white tiger was captured by seven or eight large nets. Seizing the opportunity, Blood Python ruthlessly pierced the white tiger's heart with a sword.
Roar!
The mutated Red-Eyed White Tiger, struck by the fatal blow, let out a heart-wrenching roar that pierced through the clouds and shook the surrounding dense forest, making it tremble with a rustling sound.
"Shit!" Blood Python's face changed dramatically. He hadn't forgotten that this was the territory of the Glacial Frost Dragon.
Grrrrr!
The cold pool in front of the team began to churn restlessly. Bubbles bubbled up to the surface, and huge waves surged as if some colossal creature was about to burst out of the water.
"Run!" Blood Python roared, not even bothering to collect the body of the mutated white tiger. He scooped up Xiao Li behind him and dashed out madly. The other team members didn't dare to delay either, activating their body techniques and fleeing frantically.
Faced with a fourth-tier demonic beast comparable to the mid-stage Transformation Realm, even Blood Python had no choice but to flee!
Bang!
A massive roar erupted from the water's surface, and a gigantic head burst out, its size alone comparable to that of the body of the previous white tiger. The head resembled that of a python, but with three sharp horns protruding from its crown and snout, all icy blue in hue. Its massive mouth gaped open, revealing several chillingly gleaming fangs.
It continued to sway its tongue, exhaling cold air from its nostrils. It directly blocked the path of the group after stretching its body and slamming down in front of the escaping hunters.
The owner of this head was none other than the Glacial Frost Dragon that had been sleeping in the icy pool!
The massive body of the Glacial Frost Dragon then soared out of the icy pool, continuing to block the path of the members of the Hunting Blade Team. As the Glacial Frost Dragon approached, a bone-chilling coldness pervaded the surroundings. Xiao Li, who was the weakest, began to tremble violently.
