I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

Chapter 233: Discussion on countermeasures before the war, Li Chen donated his blood.

At this moment, the two Dragon Kings were pacing back and forth in the Crystal Palace, as if waiting for something. Not long after, two old men dressed very similarly to the two Dragon Kings walked in from outside.

"Two brothers, what's the situation over at Huaguo Mountain?" Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East Sea, stepped forward and asked. It turned out that the two people were Ao Shun, the Dragon King of the North Sea, and Ao Qin, the Dragon King of the South Sea.

"Brother, there is a strange poisonous rain falling all over the mountains and fields over at Huaguo Mountain. All the shrimp soldiers and crab generals that we sent to investigate the situation at Huaguo Mountain when we came here have died because of being caught in the poisonous rain!" Ao Qin, the Dragon King of the South China Sea, replied. He saw with his own eyes that all the shrimp soldiers and crab generals that he sent over had died because of being caught in the poisonous rain. Fortunately, the shrimp soldiers and crab generals that he had brought with him were only a small number of scouts.

"If this goes on, Huaguo Mountain will be easy to defend but difficult to attack. They can come to our side, but we can't reach their side!" Ao Shun, the Dragon King of the North Sea, sighed helplessly. This poisonous rain almost cut off their thoughts of attacking Huaguo Mountain, because as long as they approached Huaguo Mountain, they would be drenched by the poisonous rain, leading to death.

"What on earth are these poisonous rains? Why are they so powerful?" Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, asked with a frown. He really couldn't understand why such strange poisonous rains suddenly appeared in Huaguo Mountain.

"As far as I know, this poisonous rain should be a spell cast by Xuanming, the Rain Ancestral Witch, one of the twelve Ancestral Witches who escaped. He is very powerful and we are no match for him at all." said Ao Qin, the Dragon King of the South China Sea. He had heard of the reputation of Xuanming, the Rain Ancestral Witch, and knew that his strength was unfathomable.

"What should we do? Are we just going to sit here and wait for death?" Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, asked anxiously. He didn't want to see his territory become someone else's back garden, where people could come and go as they pleased.

"At the moment, it seems that we can only strengthen the defense of the Four Seas Dragon Palace first, and then find a way to deal with the minions of the Rain Witch in Huaguo Mountain." Ao Shun, the Dragon King of the North Sea, suggested. He believed that only by protecting his own home first would he have a chance to fight back against the monsters gathered in Huaguo Mountain.

"Alright, then, let's do as Fourth Brother says." Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East Sea, nodded, agreeing with Ao Shun, the Dragon King of the North Sea. The four Dragon Kings then began to discuss how to strengthen the Crystal Palace's defenses and prepare for a possible attack from Flower-Fruit Mountain.

They discussed various strategies, including increasing the number of sea dragon soldiers, setting traps, strengthening magic shields, etc. At the same time, they also decided to send envoys to other sea areas to seek more support and assistance.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came: "The four dragon kings have gathered together, what are they discussing?" Li Chen said as he and Ao Xue walked out from their hiding place.

"Who are you? How dare you eavesdrop here?!" Ao Shun, the Dragon King of the North Sea, roared angrily, his eyes flashing with anger. However, Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East Sea, stepped forward to stop him.

"He is the immortal Li Chen who came to help us! He has great magical powers and unparalleled martial arts. He once repelled the Six-Eared Macaque and took back my natal dragon ball that was stolen from him!" Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, said excitedly.

Hearing this, the expression of Ao Shun, the Dragon King of the North Sea, eased a little, but he still remained wary of Li Chen. After all, he did not understand the true intentions and abilities of this stranger.

"So that's how it is. Since you are here to help, you are welcome." Ao Shun, the Dragon King of the North Sea, said lightly, his eyes still fixed on Li Chen, as if assessing his strength.

Li Chen smiled slightly and bowed to the four Dragon Kings: "I am Li Chen, nice to meet you, the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas." His tone was firm and confident, which made people feel a sense of trust in him.

Ao Xue was also standing aside, she looked at Li Chen, her heart filled with gratitude. She knew that if it weren't for Li Chen's help, she would have lost her life long ago.

"Immortal Li Chen saved my life when we were trying to steal the Dragon Ball before." Ao Xue said softly, with deep respect in her eyes.

Li Chen nodded slightly, signaling Ao Xue to be more polite. He turned to look at the four Dragon Kings and continued, "I know everything you just said. Huaguo Mountain is surrounded by poisonous rain, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. The key is how to break through the invasion of the poisonous rain!"

"Correct!"

Hearing Li Chen's words, the Four Sea Dragon Kings all echoed. Then, the Four Sea Dragon Kings continued, "That's right, that's exactly what we're worried about. The poisonous rain is too fierce. Even the slightest bit of it will kill everyone instantly, leaving nothing behind!"

"But I have taken anti-poison pills before, which can resist toxins. Maybe I can use the anti-poison pill properties in my blood to refine some pills, so that the shrimp soldiers and crab generals can also resist toxins." Li Chen expressed his idea, just like when he fought against the Hundred Immortal Butterflies before, using the anti-poison pill properties in his blood to make pills to resist poison.

"Anti-poison pill? Legend has it that the method for refining this pill has long been lost, and even the Supreme Lord Laojun in heaven can't make it. How dare you take such a pill?" The Dragon King of the East Sea exclaimed in surprise. After all, once taken, this pill can protect against all poisons in the world.

According to common sense, this kind of pill would have long since disappeared into the long river of history! However, Li Chen not only obtained the poison-avoiding pill, but also swallowed it!

"In that case, your blood should also possess the same power. We can just use your blood to refine a pill with the same effect as the Poison-Repelling Pill. If we can let the shrimp soldiers and crab generals eat it, they will be able to resist the poisonous rain that is currently covering Flower-Fruit Mountain!"

Ao Run, the Dragon King of the West Sea, thought for a while and came up with the answer to the question.

"But the poison-repellent pills refined in this way are only effective for a short period of time, and our shrimp soldiers and crab generals have to fight those monsters for a long time. Time is too short! If we want to refine a longer-lasting, or even permanent, pill, we must use the essence and blood of Immortal Li Chen!"

Ao Qin, the Dragon King of the South China Sea, continued. Hearing the words of the Dragon King of the South China Sea, everyone fell into deep thought. Yes, this kind of poison-repelling pill refined from blood only lasts too short a time. To refine one that lasts longer, or even permanently, one must use a portion of Li Chen's blood essence to refine it.

However, using Li Chen's blood essence is the essence of human blood, and it cannot be used unless it is a critical moment! Moreover, blood essence is the blood of a person's heart. If it is used now, Li Chen's combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

By then, with his combat effectiveness greatly reduced, the key question becomes whether Li Chen can still defeat the Six-Eared Macaque and the White Ape guarding Huaguo Mountain?

But if a permanent anti-poison elixir is not developed, the result may be that Li Chen will have to attack Huaguo Mountain alone and face the siege of thousands or even tens of thousands of monkey monsters. Adding the Six-Eared Macaque and the White Ape will make the battle even more difficult!

"No need to say more, hurry up and use it. Make this permanent anti-poison pill overnight!"

As Li Chen spoke, he conjured up a container that could be used to hold his own blood and essence. He then cut his chest with a knife, and a large amount of bright red blood gushed out of the wound. These were exactly Li Chen's blood and essence!

Li Chen used a container to collect all his blood essence into the container, and then handed them to the four Dragon Kings! After seeing the Dragon Kings successfully obtain his blood essence, Li Chen suddenly fell backwards. Fortunately, Ao Xue supported him and he did not fall down.

"Thank you so much, Immortal! Thank you so much! From now on, you will be my honored guest throughout the world! We will never let you down! Quickly bring us the best Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng!"

The four Dragon Kings kowtowed together to thank Li Chen for his sacrifice, and then they quickly ordered the shrimp soldiers and crab generals to carry the precious thousand-year-old ginseng and ten-thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum to present to Li Chen, in order to help Li Chen quickly recover his essence and blood and improve his cultivation.

Afterwards, the Dragon Kings of the South and North Seas went down to refine elixirs in preparation for tomorrow's battle with the Monkey Demon on Mount Huaguo! The remaining Dragon Kings of the East and West Seas, along with Ao Xue, stayed behind to take care of Li Chen.
