Chapter 571 Honeyscale Dragon
As soon as Ye Kang finished speaking, all the tribal warriors turned red.
Even the most composed Eight Pillar Warriors were now furious, their beards bristling and eyes wide with rage, shouting, "You audacious madman! How dare you be so arrogant? Do you really think there's no one left in Northern Plains?!"
Ye Kang was even more innocent: "Fellow Daoists, treasures are born from heaven and earth, and only the capable can obtain them. Why are you targeting me?"
He found a seat and sat down, a smile always on his lips.
Seeing his composure, the other eight warriors did not dare to make a move.
After all, he is someone who can kill Icefield Ghost Wolf with one punch. Nobody knows his true strength. Who would be the one to stick their neck out?
Helpless, an old man with eight pillars coldly said, "Beiyuan is hospitable. Since you are guests from Chongtian Temple, you are naturally qualified to come here to seize treasures. However, fists and feet have no eyes. If you get hurt or bumped, don't blame Beiyuan for bullying you with its power."
Ye Kang nodded: "Of course."
After saying that, no one said anything more, but stared coldly at Ye Kang, their eyes full of threat.
This place is a treasure trove for powerful martial artists, and Ye Kang came here precisely because he sensed its powerful aura.
Martial artists below the sixth pillar level are not qualified to approach.
Zhamu and the others had come down long ago, but they could only stand on the outermost edge and couldn't even see what was going on inside. They were basically just there to join in the fun.
Soon, another half day had passed.
More than a dozen powerful martial artists arrived along the way.
The last six to arrive were all dressed in the same clothes, with muscles bulging like bears and veins coiled like dragons. They all had unusual buzz cuts and were clearly top-tier body tempering martial artists.
Ye Kang's eyes narrowed immediately upon seeing them.
The people of the War God Cave.
Of these six people, one has six pillars, two have seven pillars, and the remaining three have eight pillars.
Their equipment appears weak, completely inferior to the surrounding tribal warriors.
But the reality was quite the opposite; nearly thirty tribal warriors bowed their heads and clasped their hands, not daring to look directly at the six people.
The six people immediately looked at Ye Kang. One of the middle-aged men walked over and said, "Fellow Daoist, we heard that you are a disciple of Chongtian Temple? Why have we never heard of you before?"
Ye Kang looked up and met his gaze, but without saying anything, he directly took out Nie Qingzhen's visiting card.
The middle-aged man frowned, took the visiting card, glanced at it, and immediately looked surprised.
"Since he is Master Nie's disciple, well then, let's see who has the best skills."
The middle-aged man returned the visiting card, a scene that immediately silenced all the tribal warriors.
Since even the master had admitted it, they naturally couldn't say anything more and could only glare fiercely at Ye Kang.
The middle-aged man continued, "I am the War God Cave King Xu. Since you have the ability to come here, I will not stop you. I will only remind you that this treasure is of great benefit to Body Tempering Martial Artists. If you... wait? You are a Body Tempering Martial Artist?"
Wang Xu was stunned for a moment. Although Ye Kang didn't look like someone who had undergone body tempering at all, he had clearly felt a physical force just now.
Moreover, it is extremely magnificent, even comparable to itself.
But looking at his physique, there's no sign of body tempering at all; his muscles are so barely defined, so the tempering must have been done incorrectly.
Wang Xu shook his head inwardly. In the War God Cave's concept, body tempering naturally required having a healthy and beautiful body, just like them.
Only a body forged through countless trials can unleash its full potential.
He was somewhat disdainful of Ye Kang, but he nodded and said, "Since you are also tempering your body, you can naturally seize the treasure. However, I must remind you that this treasure is called Heartfire Burning, which is a rare ice-attribute plant that can greatly enhance the power of qi and blood, but it has side effects."
As he said this, a mocking smile appeared on his lips.
"You have no Daoist partner by your side. If you were to truly obtain the Heart Fire, you would likely explode and die."
Ye Kang was completely bewildered. He then looked ahead and, sure enough, most of the experts were in pairs. Even those without partners were followed by several timid martial artists.
For example, there was a beautiful woman who was stronger than a bear, with the cultivation level of the Eight Pillars, and three handsome young men following behind her.
His expression was strange, and then he recalled what Zhamu had said earlier.
This treasure seems to help the tribe multiply.
Could it be that……
"Hehe, you seem to be a smart one. I've already warned you that if you insist on taking the treasure, you'll have to bear the consequences."
After saying that, Wang Xu walked directly to the ice section in front of him and waved his hand to remove one layer of the formation.
Then, ripples spread out, revealing a gigantic skeleton within the ice section. The skull alone was thirty feet in size, and its size in life was unimaginable.
Many people gasped in shock, as this was the first time they had ever witnessed such a horrifying sight.
Wang Xu said, "Three hundred years ago, when the War God Cave was being explored here, this skeleton was discovered. According to ancient records, this was an ancient honey-scaled dragon, a lewd beast of heaven and earth. After its lifespan ended, its honey scales would liquefy and a strange flower would grow in them, called Heart Fire Burning."
"This flower inherits the lewd nature of the Honeyscaled Flood Dragon, but it has an extremely strong amplification effect on the physical body, especially the power of qi and blood, which can almost double and transform. Even among rare and precious plants, it is an extremely top-tier existence."
As he spoke, Wang Xu glanced at Ye Kang.
The meaning is obvious.
You're coming alone, so what if you manage to grab it?
Without a spiritual partner to extinguish the fire in your heart, you're just courting death.
Ye Kang felt the many mocking gazes, but his face only showed longing.
Rare and precious plant!
Another rare treasure! My physical body has reached a bottleneck, and I desperately need such a precious plant to break through!
As for side effects, it doesn't matter. How could it affect someone with such a strong will?
Seeing that Ye Kang remained unmoved, Wang Xu's expression hardened, feeling that this man was ungrateful.
The people of Chongtian Temple are indeed all so arrogant and annoying.
But it doesn't matter. With me here, this guy has no chance of getting the Heartfire Burning. No wonder he's so relaxed.
Wang Xu smiled and continued, "The Honeyscale Flood Dragon is not adapted to extremely cold environments. It has been frozen in this glacier for 100,000 years, and its Heart Fire has grown extremely slowly. Fortunately, when it was discovered 300 years ago, it was already close to maturity. Now, another 300 years have passed, and it is time for it to mature."
After saying that, he stretched out his palm, and to everyone's amazement, his physical strength trembled, and he shattered all the ice in front of him with incredible precision.
However, the skeleton of the Honeyscaled Flood Dragon remained intact and unaffected.
This demonstrates the precise control of force by a top-tier body-tempering martial artist; truly worthy of the War God Cave.
Nevertheless, the tribal warriors behind them stood up one after another, their auras rising, ready to fight.
Wang Xu said easily, "Brother Xie, you may not know this, but we people of Beiyuan value strength above all else. Although the War God Cave taught them the methods, they will not bully them when it comes to seizing opportunities. As long as you have the ability, you can come and snatch them."
As he spoke, he silently looked at the ice cave ahead.
Ice chips fell off the skeleton, revealing the complete skull.
Inside the skull, a small pink flower was about to bloom.
