Chapter 585: Chapter 313: Plotting to Obtain the Divine Weapon

The remains of the ancient powerhouse were found, but there was a demonic qi lingering. If anyone else received this task, they would be lucky to survive without losing some skin.

Su Nan wasn’t too surprised, which was in line with the difficulty of the task.

He attempted to foresee again, trying to collect the stone coffin and its contents into his Personal Space.

As expected, he succeeded this time.

Confirming there were no problems, he quickly proceeded towards the sixth small mountain, collecting the stone coffin containing the ancient powerhouse’s remains.

“I still have sixteen foreknowledge times today. I should be able to use Death’s Foresight once.”

Su Nan prepared to use Death’s Foresight.

Since he was going to foresee, he naturally couldn’t limit it to just the resentful demon. He also planned to foresee the Death Desert.

“I’ve already explored the Death Desert several times in my foreknowledge, but apart from discovering that stone pillar, there’s no other gains.”

“Continuing to blindly search like this is definitely not the way to go. It seems that I can only try using the Incense Prayer Technique, and if that doesn’t work, I’ll have to consume Qi Luck.”

However, although the idea was good, there was a problem when he started foreseeing.

This time, it only consumed 5 foreknowledge times!

How long can 5 foreknowledge times predict? At most, just over four hours.

Just over four hours, not enough time for his avatar to reach the Death Desert!

[You found the remains of an ancient powerhouse who slew dragon demons and plan to hand it over to the resentful demon in Resentful Dragon Mountain while also controlling the avatar in Daxuan Royal Palace, preparing to explore the Death Desert.]

[Two hours later, your main body returns to Resentful Dragon Mountain. When you take out the coffin containing the ancient powerhouse who killed Dragon Demons, the resentful demon is overjoyed, very satisfied with you.]

[Under your gaze, the resentful demon removes the remains of the ancient powerhouse from the stone coffin, bit by bit, turning it into dust. Once it had vented its resentment, the demon prepared to thank you.]

[The resentful demon tells you that the ancient human expert killed it here in order to sharpen a divine weapon. However, after killing it here, the expert did not take away the divine weapon.]

[Now, the divine weapon is inserted in a small valley in this mountain range. If you want, you can try to take it as a reward for helping it fulfill its wish.]

“Huh? The resentful demon is actually letting me go fetch the Dragon-Slaying Sword this time?”

Su Nan was astonished.

You know, he couldn’t even get close to that valley before.

Now, just by helping the dragon demon find the remains of the ancient powerhouse and helping it resolve its resentments, not only does the resentful demon tell him about the Dragon-Slaying Sword in the valley, but also lets him take it away as a thank you. The contrast made Su Nan cautious.

This was clearly abnormal.

[The demon’s gratitude surprises you and, while excited, you realize there’s something wrong. You try to ask the resentful demon if there is any danger in pulling out the divine weapon.]

[The resentful demon does not hide anything and tells you that the divine weapon was sealed in the mountain by a formation set by the ancient expert, and in order to get it, the formation needs to be destroyed first.]

[To break that formation, you need to pour fresh blood on several Array Nodes.]

[Four hours later, under the resentful demon’s guidance, you find several Array Nodes and drench them in blood, but after completing everything, there is no sign of anything unusual or that the formation has been sabotaged.]

[Confused, the resentful demon asks you to pour blood on the Array Nodes again following the same order as before.]

[A minute later, after you’ve drenched all the Array Nodes in blood, there is still no sign of the formation being destroyed. The resentful demon is puzzled and does not understand why.]

[Two minutes later, the resentful demon checks every node and doesn’t find any problems.]

[Three minutes later, the resentful demon eventually traces the issue to your blood, suddenly asking you coldly why your blood doesn’t have Dragon Qi and is instead full of human Qi.]

[You don’t know how to answer, and the resentful demon finally understands that you are not a Dragon Turtle, but disguised as one.]

[The resentful demon is furious, and you die.]

“I’ve been discovered!”

Su Nan’s heart sank, not knowing where the problem was.

There’s something wrong with that so-called formation – it’s not as simple as the resentful demon said. It can’t be destroyed by pouring just any blood; at least, ordinary blood won’t work. Blood containing Dragon Qi is necessary!

As for why the formation requires blood containing Dragon Qi, Su Nan has no way of knowing and can only guess it has something to do with the Dragon-Slaying Sword.

“I’m afraid it’s impossible to find Dragon Demon blood. I’ll have to think of another way.”

Although Su Nan had consumed Dragon Blood Fruit, which granted him something similar to Dragon Qi, it was naturally very diluted when dispersed throughout his body. Even if there was Dragon Qi in his blood, it would be nearly undetectable.

If it were one or two drops, he could buy it from the Contribution Mall, but with a larger amount, he couldn’t afford it.

After all, this was a four-star Task involving an emperor-level resentful demon and a divine weapon. It wouldn’t be easy to complete.

“I wonder if using blood from the little guy would work?”

Su Nan’s eyes flickered as an idea emerged.

If his fake Dragon Turtle disguise didn’t work, then the real Dragon Turtle’s blood should, right?

However, how would he get blood from the little guy?

Su Nan had a headache; the blood needed to break the formation was not just a drop or two. Although he was the little guy’s master, getting it to offer some blood would be no small difficulty.

“Perhaps I can try using Li Water Beads.”

Su Nan looked at the Li Water Beads in the Contribution Mall, and another idea emerged.
