From Family Fisherman to Water Virtue True Immortal-Chapter 201 - 196: Ice Feather Reappears

A chilly wind swept through, rustling the mountain woods, as wave upon wave of virulent miasma pervaded, inundating the mud that buried the ghastly white bones.

Every member of the Li Clan was on high alert; they knew that the enemy had definitely arrived and was watching them from the shadows.

"Screech!!"

The Dragon Flame Eagle cried out long, detesting the dark environment, and spat out a fiery and bright Dragon Flame.

A golden-red sea of fire spread out, resembling a sun piercing through darkness, the heatwave revitalized everyone’s spirits instantly.

The fierce fire scorched the miasma, immediately creating a vacuum around it, setting many dead trees ablaze, resulting in thick, billowing smoke reaching for the sky.

The Wind and Thunder Python flapped its wings, conjuring a violent tornado that dispersed the dense poisonous smoke and completely unveiled the scenes hidden in the depth of the mist.

Li Quanqing’s gaze shifted and he finally saw the true appearance of the White Bone Crocodile.

True to its name, this ferocious Demon Beast had a pitch-black body, with blood-red pupils that flickered with a cruel, bloodthirsty light.

On the surface of the Crocodile Demon’s body was a layer of ghastly white bone armor, covering its limbs and spine, sprouted with fierce spines showing its formidable power.

Dozens upon dozens of White Bone Crocodiles lurked in the swamp, about seventy in total, their pupils flickering with a crimson fire.

They sniffed the sweet scent of flesh and blood, baring their ferocious fangs, encircling the numerous clan members in a semi-circle.

"There’s also a Second Order Foundation Demon, force it out."

Li Quanqing spoke, facing an ordinary Foundation Demon, there was no need for him to act personally.

"Hiss!"

The Wind Thunder Horned Python King hissed, being a wild Demon Beast, it was extremely ferocious, its body surged with Demon Energy, sweeping across the sky, releasing its presence without reservation.

This was undoubtedly a provocation.

Shortly after, mud splattered from the swamp, and the White Bone Crocodile King burst forth from the depths of the island, its body agile and elongated, resembling a demonic mountain hovering in the void.

Its thick, lengthy tail kept sweeping around, producing fierce whooshing sounds as air tore through space. Below its White Bone Armor, grew thick, robust black Demon Scales.

The Crocodile King burst out from the miasma with an overpowering momentum, roaring as it showed its cruel, blood-thirsty glare.

Seeing the Foundation powerhouses before it, it did not hesitate; it turned and fled, completely abandoning its own kin and offspring.

"Capture it alive!"

Li Quanqing commanded, and three Foundation Demons attacked and surrounded it.

Simultaneously, the sea of fire spread, water surged, and Wind Blades enveloped in thunderous lightning covered the void where the Crocodile King stood.

Demon Energy swept across, shaking the void, as Heaven and Earth Essence Qi plunged into chaos, sparking a series of Spiritual Energy Storms, their might astonishing.

Below, the Li Clan members also took action, with Array Formation Spiritual Light flickering intermittently. They expertly maneuvered their Magic Artifacts, commencing the hunt.

This was a training exercise, but also a one-sided slaughter.

After six months of rigorous training, the young clansmen of the Li Family had long been working in perfect coordination, empowered further by the power of the Array.

Often, five or six young clansmen in the Qi Refining Middle Stage could easily corner and kill a Qi Refining Late Stage White Bone Crocodile, their stench-filled blood spraying several feet high.

Three Foundation Demons worked together to subdue the White Bone Crocodile King, alongside a reluctant roar, the Crocodile King was successfully captured.

Even then, it remained unbowed, clawing fiercely, swinging its sharp fangs, emitting thunderous roars in disgust.

Li Quanqing slowly descended, utilizing various Beast Taming Techniques, aiming to forcefully establish an Enslavement Blood Contract with this Great Demon.

Unfortunately, the temperament of the White Bone Crocodile was too violent, its pupils red as blood, emitting mad screams, making it almost impossible to communicate and tame.

This was quite common, as wild Great Demons naturally resisted subjugation, preferring death over subjection to Human Clan Cultivators.

Ultimately, Li Quanqing decided to end the White Bone Crocodile King’s life swiftly and decisively.

"Screech!!"

The Dragon Flame Eagle, excitedly flapping its wings, pecked and easily tore open the relatively soft belly of the Croc Demon, greedily devouring its tender and fatty innards.

"Hiss~"

The Wind Thunder Horned Python King disdainfully glanced at this crude fellow, coiling itself into a mound of purple-blue scales, its Wind Thunder Wings spreading elegantly and saintly.

This was the disdain a herbivore had for a carnivore.

The Canghai Whale bellowed, equally disliking the bloody scent, flapped its fins and flew up into the clouds, leaving the Dragon Flame Eagle alone to enjoy the feast.

After the Spiritual Sculpture had its fill, Li Quanqing collected the remaining Demon Beast Meat to prepare precious bait.

By this time, the battles of the Li Clan members and the Qi Refining White Bone Crocodile had also ended, leaving behind corpses of Demon Beasts and blood flowing profusely, dyeing the marshy mud red.

Only a dozen or so clan members had minor injuries, but after taking Healing Pills, they were no longer troubled.

"Quanqing, how should we handle these White Bone Crocodile eggs?"

Li Quanmo stepped forward, holding a pitch-black egg with white bone-like patterns on its surface.

"Are there no crocodile hatchlings?"

Li Quanqing asked curiously.

"There are a dozen or so, but they are extremely vicious, even engaging in cannibalism, and attack our clan members on sight, their thoughts in disarray; they cannot be tamed at all."

He said somewhat helplessly while holding the crocodile egg.

The White Bone Crocodile, notorious among Demon Beasts, is akin to the Demon Clan’s Demon Path groups, inherently chaotic and bloodthirsty.

"Let’s take them back to the Li Family first, then after they hatch, we will see if we can sign an Enslavement Blood Contract at birth to try taming them."

Li Quanqing reluctantly proposed a compromise.

These Demon Beasts mature into the Qi Refining Late Stage and share the same bloodline as the Thunder Horn Python; it was something he could hardly give up.

Hearing this, Li Quanmo nodded slightly, agreeing they had no other choice.

Li Clan members spread out to clean up the battlefield while exploring the Bone Island in groups of two or three.

Having gained from the Wind and Thunder Python’s nest, they were hopeful of finding something extra here too.

Unfortunately, this was not to be, as Bone Island was just an ordinary Second Rank Spirit Island, notable only for a decent Spirit Vein and nothing unusual.

Li Quanqing groomed the feathers of the Dragon Flame Eagle while feeling somewhat bored.

Suddenly, Li Quanshu approached, her face full of joy.

"Quanqing, see what I’ve found!"

She raised her palm, revealing a familiar ice-blue feather, enclosed in a thick layer of ice, crystal-clear, emanating an astonishing chill.

"This is... an Ice Phoenix Feather!!"

Li Quanqing’s eyebrows raised instantly, drawn by the aura released, the Ice Soul Cold Light in his Dantian stirring to activity.

Like a snow-white Chi Dragon spiraling above his Mana, flawlessly white, with a gripping coldness capable of freezing hundreds of miles of sea.

"Where did you find this feather?"

Li Quanqing was greatly surprised.

Having broken through to Foundation Establishment, his knowledge expanded, and he figured out that this feather had been shed by a Great Ice Phoenix Demon in the outer sea that failed its Nascent Soul breakthrough.

Indeed, he even speculated that there might be a secret sea route leading directly to the Demon Clan’s outer sea!
