Chapter 1242: Failed

The fierce beasts all came for the Dripping Blood Stones but who knew that after the Devil Dweller came here, he almost took away all the Dripping Blood Stones.

A day or two was fine, but as time went on, everyone felt a little resentful.

No one knew how long the Devil Dweller would be here. If he did not plan to leave, would everyone not be waiting every day for nothing?

One day, after Ou Yangming took the Dripping Blood Stones and left…

A few Dark Ferocious Beasts quietly gathered and discussed in low voices. They deliberately avoided the fierce tiger so that it could not hear their conversation.

“This can’t go on. That Devil Dweller has been here for more than a month. This month, there were at least 100 Dripping Blood Stones from the waterfall, but we only got 5. If this continues, there’s no point for us to stay here.” A Ferocious Black Snake looked cunning.

“That Devil Dweller is insatiable. He won’t leave any way for us to survive. What should we do?”

These beasts were enemies before but now that a common opponent like Ou Yangming had appeared, they began to unite.

Nonetheless, they knew that even if they were tied together, they would not be a match for the Devil Dweller, so they needed to think of another way.

“Anyway, we can’t get the Dripping Blood Stones, and we can’t let that Devil Dweller have them for free. Dark Ferocious Beasts are enemies with Devil Dwellers. Now that we’re being pressed down by him, we can’t just let it be.”

“What should we do?”

The fierce beasts were very intelligent and were almost no different from the humans of the Great Wide World.

They discussed for a while and soon reached a consensus.

That was to let the 3 Demon Kings of Plum Mountain 15,000 kilometers away know about this strange place.

The 3 Demon Kings were also ferocious beasts. If they acquired the Dripping Blood Stones vein in the waterfall, the others could more or less benefit from it. If they let that Devil Dweller continue to stay here, the beasts would have no chance at all.

“Yes, we’ve discovered this place for more than a year. The big kings of Plum Mountain will probably know about this place soon. Why don’t we report it to them in advance? We can split the reward given by the kings equally.”

“Okay!” Some fierce beasts nodded.

“Be careful and report it secretly. We can’t let the Devil Dweller find out.”

“We must keep it a secret from that fierce tiger too. It’s with that Devil Dweller. After the kings finish off that Devil Dweller, we can’t let that traitor go either.”

“Yes, finish it off!”

The ferocious tiger lay on the ground with warmth. It had been living quite comfortably these days.

Due to Ou Yangming, these fierce beasts did not dare to offend him. They were terrified of him. This made the already proud tiger feel unusually pleased.

It was relying on someone else to be superior, but it was still respected by others.

The fierce tiger raised its head and looked at the group of mysterious fellows with puzzlement.

‘What are they doing?’

Those ferocious beasts deliberately avoided it. The fierce tiger did not know what they were doing.

Seeing that the fierce tiger had noticed them, the ferocious beasts spoke even softer.

“That fella’s looking at us. We can’t discuss this anymore. It’s decided. White Eagle, I’ll have to trouble you to carry out the mission to Plum Mountain…”

“Don’t worry. I’ll bring news to you in 3 days at most.” The white eagle nodded slightly.

It quietly left the herd of beasts. It spread its wings and flew into the sky. This white eagle had extraordinary strength. It was a flying beast, and it was a Ruler. Its flying speed was fast, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

In the forest.

Ou Yangming did not know what was happening at the riverbank. He was still carefully fusing with the Dripping Blood Stones.

He had gotten more than 100 Dripping Blood Stones from the riverbank during this period. The speed of the fusions had slowed down a lot but on average, there were about 3 Dripping Blood Stones fused every day. At this point, he had fused 99 Dripping Blood Stones.

His physical strength had improved by leaps and bounds compared to before. Compared to a month ago, his physical strength had increased by more than 10 times.

He could also get within 50 meters of the waterfall. As long as he took another step forward, hope would be right in front of him.

Despite that, fusing with 99 Dripping Blood Stones was also a bottleneck. As long as Ou Yangming could fuse with 100 of them, his life level would increase again, and he would evolve from an Ancient Devil Warrior to a Devil General.

A Devil General was a Ruler of the Great Wide World. In other words, once he broke through to the Devil General boundary, even if he did not use a single bit of spiritual power, he could still fight against a Ruler. This was terrifying. One had to know that the young fellow had only entered the Fallen Land for more than a month.

How long would it take for an ordinary person to cultivate to become a Ruler in the Great Wide World?

This would be a long journey, and the key point was that one would probably be stuck on the road as well.

Becoming a Ruler in just over a month’s time… If the people of the Great Wide World heard this, they would think that Ou Yangming was crazy.

Of course, Ou Yangming did not achieve everything from nothing. He had always stood at a very high level. This was something that other people did not have.

If it was not for the fact that he had great mental power as a guarantee, if it was not for the willpower that he had honed, and if it was not for the fact that he had obtained so many Dripping Blood Stones through his strength, he would not have had this opportunity at all.

At this moment, the opportunity to become a Ruler was right in front of him. As long as he successfully fused with this Dripping Blood Stone…

Ou Yangming took a few deep breaths and adjusted his breathing.

Most of the parts of his body had been fused with Dripping Blood Stones. Fortunately, they would automatically fuse with his blood once they came into contact with it. Otherwise, if his body abandoned his skin and bones, he would probably be left with stones.

Ou Yangming chose to fuse the 100th Dripping Blood Stone with his left palm.

This spot had never been fused before, so the chances of success should be a little higher than the other spots.

Of course, it would only be a little bit. Ou Yangming himself did not have much confidence.

When he fused the 99th stone, he was already very reluctant. Whether he would succeed this time or not, he had no confidence at all.

The power of laws still surrounded him tightly. He carefully cut open his palm.

With that, the Dripping Blood Stone entered and began to melt. Ou Yangming could almost feel his blood boiling.

Veins popped up on his arm, and the blood vessels protruded high as if they were about to explode.

Ou Yangming gritted his teeth and persevered.

The pain almost made him faint. Ou Yangming kept hinting to himself. His eyes were wide open and bloodshot, but he refused to let his eyes close. Once he closed them, it was very likely that he would pass out, which also meant that the fusion had failed. He did not care about this Dripping Blood Stone. What he cared about was his time.

“Puff!” Suddenly, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

His blood gradually stopped boiling. He did not faint, but the fusion still failed.

“What’s going on?” Ou Yangming first swallowed a healing pill, and he looked somewhat dejected.

He recalled the memory of the Ancient Devil Warrior again and found that there were other reasons for the failure of fusions with Dripping Blood Stones, but fainting was the most important and most common one. The Ancient Devil Warrior was only a small figure in the Fallen Land. Even if the young fellow had completely absorbed his memory, it was only a small novelty for the Fallen Land.

Furthermore, Ou Yangming had only received a portion of the soul fragments with the Soul-sucking Art.

‘Could it be that this is a bottleneck for me?’ Ou Yangming thought about the possible reason. That said, with his situation at this moment, he was unable to analyze the reason at all.

‘It’s better to treat my injuries first. After my injuries recover, I’ll try again. Even if I still fail, I have to find out the reason.’

Ou Yangming was not worried about the Dripping Blood Stones. Every day, a few Dripping Blood Stones would rush out of the waterfall. Those stones were almost all in his bag as he did not stand on ceremony with the fierce beasts.

Those who were not his kind had different thoughts. Ou Yangming was a human, and under the absolute suppression of his strength, the beasts were glad that he did not kill them. If it was any other ruthless powerhouse, it was very likely that that powerhouse would have destroyed all the fierce beasts present and monopolized the place.

Even if one could not suppress the news, it was still beneficial to have lesser people know about the mysterious place.

Ou Yangming did not have the intention to kill those fierce beasts. Moreover, he had relied on his methods to obtain the Dripping Blood Stone. Even if there were occasionally some that slipped through him, he did not ask for them. This was good enough.

After eating the pills and resting for half a day, the injuries in Ou Yangming’s body gradually recovered.

Looking at the time, it was almost time for the waterfall to erupt again, but Ou Yangming did not get up.

He still had more than 30 Dripping Blood Stones in his hands. The amount was more than enough. It would not matter even if he let the others have the stones for a day.

After his body recovered, he once again tried to fuse with a Dripping Blood Stone.

On the beach, the waterfall was flowing.

Those fierce beasts looked around. Their eyes were full of curiosity.

“That greedy Devil Dweller didn’t come today?” The Snake Demon asked in surprise.

For more than a month, that Devil Dweller would come here on time every day. Today, the time had passed, but no one came.

“Do you think he sensed something and ran away early?” A fierce beast asked.

“No, we were careful when we discussed it. He wouldn’t know at all. Besides, judging from his character, if he knew that we’re secretly setting him up, even if he planned to leave, he won’t let us have it easy.”

“That’s true.”

“Could it be that he left by himself?”

Once these words were said, the other fierce beasts did not look too good. If that fellow left by himself while they went to report to the Demon Kings, would they not be lifting a rock and smashing their own feet?

“The possibility isn’t high. Isn’t that fierce tiger still here?”

At this time, a strange sound came from the waterfall.

“It’s about to erupt.”

The fierce beasts looked at the waterfall in front of them and started to become nervous.

Not long after, a rapid stream of water suddenly fell. It was like the water of the milky way, sprinkling down from the nine heavens.

With a boom, everyone rushed forward. 2 Dripping Blood Stones flew out from the stream.

Without Ou Yangming’s intervention, the Dripping Blood Stones were naturally obtained by the beasts.

“What a pity, that guy didn’t come this time, but there are only 2 stones.”

Those ferocious beasts that did not get the Dripping Blood Stones did not look good.
