Chapter 556: Magical Shield

From a distance, the black figure looked like a person.

Qin Niu did not dare to approach rashly, and approached cautiously with a knife.

The black shadow was still moving, with several branches wrapped around it. This time he saw clearly that this was a person.

Unfortunately, he arrived a step too late, and the man had already been killed by the branches.

The flesh and blood all over the body was quickly sucked dry, leaving only bones, skin, and the clothes on the body.

Qin Niu directly used his flames to drive away those branches, and the unfortunate man's body was helplessly scattered on the ground. It was no longer possible to distinguish this person's appearance, only the dry wrinkled skin wrapped around the skeleton.

The identity of this person can be vaguely distinguished from the clothes on his body.

He remembered that he was a tall and mighty middle-aged man with the cultivation of an immortal, but he did not expect that he unfortunately died here.

After driving away the murderous branches, Qin Niu began to search for the trophies on the corpse.

He reached out and pulled at the man's clothes. The treasure must be hidden inside.

It would be great if I could get another storage bag.

What Qin Niu is lacking now is high-end elixirs and defensive equipment. If he could get another storage bag, he could put one on the surface for use and the other secretly for storing important items.

Such as banknotes or something.

"Ayo!"

He never expected that when he reached into the corpse's arms to search for treasures, he would be bitten by something.

He retracted his hand as fast as lightning and quickly distanced himself.

Two bloody holes appeared where he was bitten, and the blood quickly turned black. The area around the wound is also rapidly turning black.

It's obviously highly poisonous.

Fortunately, he has a black spider Gu in his body that can absorb almost all venom. And the more powerful the venom obtained, the faster the Black Spider Gu's strength increases.

The venom in his right hand was quickly sucked away by the black spider Gu, and Qin Niu's right hand returned to normal.

The numb feeling is gone.

The blood flowing out of the wound also turned into the normal bright red color.

He performed Changchun Gong to heal his wounds, and the two tiny blood holes healed quickly.

After suffering such a big loss, Qin Niu would naturally not let go of the poison hidden in this corpse.

This time he used the ink knife to directly lift off the clothes on the corpse, and a small black snake with a pair of horns on its head escaped from it in fear.

I was bitten by it just now.

"I can't spare you!"

Qin Niu's eyes were quick and he slashed with his sword.

It's just that this little snake is very powerful, and it actually dodged with a flick of its body.

Just when he was about to use another method, there was a red-eyed golden toad in the basket on his back. The long snake head rolled out like lightning, pulled the little snake directly into the mouth, and then swallowed it in one gulp.

"Well done, Toad!"

Qin Niu praised.

However, he soon discovered that the Red-Eyed Golden Toad seemed to have been bitten, and its body was quickly covered with a layer of black gas, which was a sign of poisoning.

"I'll help you clean up the venom!"

Qin Niu is going to use black spider Gu to help the red-eyed golden toad detoxify.

As a result, the Red-Eyed Golden Toad refused.

It is immune to most venoms, so a bite from this unknown two-horned snake should not be fatal.

"Okay, if you can't resist it after a while, I will help you remove the poison."

Qin Niu didn't worry about it anymore.

He wasted no time in searching the corpse for loot.

The storage bag was not found, but only two bottles of elixirs, more than ten thousand taels of silver notes, and a small angular shield were found.

This small shield is only the size of a palm, and is dark brown in color. It does not look like it is made of metal.

He really couldn't tell what the specific material was.

However, he couldn't help but be secretly happy when he found tiny faint runes inside the shield. Now that he has some advanced equipment, he also has some discernment.

Any equipment with such tiny runes on it is a good thing.

Some may even be magic weapons.

After turning the body over, Qin Niu discovered the treasure again. A fairy energy that bloomed with a colorful halo was attached to the corpse's back.

"This is a good thing, and it makes me feel better."

Qin Niu said nothing and took the time to refine this immortal energy.

He didn't even bother to study the small shield.

I thought it would take at least an hour or two to refine this immortal energy, but I didn't expect it to be much easier than refining the immortal energy for the first time.

In only about half a quarter of an hour, he successfully refined this immortal energy.

As this immortal energy entered the body, the immortal energy in the Dantian grew stronger, apparently doubling in thickness.

His cultivation seemed to have improved a lot.

Immortal energy is really a good thing. If there are opportunities to pick up bargains along the way, he wouldn't mind picking up a few more.

The loot has been collected, so Qin Niu will naturally not stay here anymore.

He flew forward, but he was studying the small shield he had just obtained in his hand.

I tried injecting power into the small shield, but there was no obvious change.

His power is like being injected into ordinary stones and wood.

"Does it need to be refined before it can be used?"

In the past, Qin Niu could only use the clumsiest method to refining this kind of treasure, dripping blood on it to identify its owner. This method may not always work.

Now I have learned a new method.

Directly mobilize the immortal energy to refine this small shield.

After his immortal energy doubled, the speed of refining equipment was obviously more than doubled.

It didn't take long for the small shield to be successfully refined.

He tried to input a little power into the small shield again, and "hiss", the small shield directly showed a layer of condensed aura on the surface. It was obviously much stronger than the defensive gas shield of the pig king's leather armor.

"Is this small shield a magic weapon?"

Qin Niu was not sure.

He has not cultivated magic power yet, and even if he gets a magic weapon, he can't show their full power.

But even if he can only exert part of the power of this small shield, his defense can be increased several times.

On the way, he continued to move forward, and his goal was the mountain gate of Bailian Xianzong thousands of miles away.

While running, he felt that his left ankle seemed to be attacked by something.

Looking down, it was another black snake with two horns on its head.

It was biting Qin Niu's left foot.

The sharp fangs wanted to bite through the pig king's leather armor, but it failed.

Although Qin Niu was not afraid of its venom, he didn't dare to let it bite. He quickly waved the ink knife to pick it open.

The little snake was extremely agile, dodging in a flash, and even bouncing straight towards Qin Niu's face.

Before Qin Niu could swing his knife at it for the second time, the red-eyed golden toad attacked again, following the same method, and swallowed the little snake into its mouth like eating a bug.

It can be seen that the black gas on the surface of the red-eyed golden toad has almost disappeared.

This shows that the venom of the little snake did not cause much damage to it.

But as it ate the second little snake, it seemed to be bitten again. The black gas that had just faded appeared again, but it was lighter than the first time it was bitten.

Its resistance to snake venom should have been strengthened.

"I thought this two-horned little snake was the pet of the dead immortal, but it seems not."

Qin Niu realized that the immortal was probably not killed by the plants here, but was poisoned after being bitten by the little snake. He was entangled by those branches during the detoxification process, which led to his accident.

After all, the immortals who can break through the third level all have some life-saving trump cards.

That person also had a very good shield, which could almost resist most attacks.

Qin Niu had already run for more than a hundred miles, and except for the dead burly male immortal, he had not met any other challengers along the way.

There were only a hundred people in total, and this barren land was extremely vast, so it was normal that they were hard to meet.

He turned his head to check the red-eyed golden toad in the backpack, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong.

It was trying to digest the small snake it had swallowed. (End of this chapter)
