Ye Qianming walked cautiously in the Cold Stone Valley. Old Man Leng Stone had told him before that there were many dangerous monsters and beasts in the Cold Stone Valley, some of which even Old Man Leng Stone was not willing to confront easily.
But as long as you follow the route noted down by the old man, you can avoid the more dangerous places, and most of the remaining ones are some first-order monsters.
Although these monsters are quite terrifying to mortals outside the valley, they are not something that Ye Qianming cannot deal with.
Following the old man's mark, Ye Qianming marched hurriedly while using his spiritual consciousness to carefully observe the surrounding environment. He avoided the territory of the second-level monster twice on the way, and finally arrived at the mine safely.
According to the old man's description, the mineral deposit is a cave buried underground, connected to a cave outside. Trapped here is the viper, a first-order monster beast that is highly poisonous, good at sneak attacks, and powerful.
Ye Qianming did not dare to raise his hand and took out a scimitar. This was a weapon that he had polished with some of the claws of the black-haired wolf before setting off. Although it was rough, it was still quite sharp.
Moreover, Ye Qianming also injected the spiritual power of the spiritual power bank into it, so that this scimitar, which could only be regarded as a mortal weapon, was temporarily promoted to the lowest level of immortal treasure. It is estimated that it will return to its original form after the spiritual power is returned.
weapons.
Letting go of his consciousness, Ye Qianming walked into the cave, and a cold and cold breath hit his face.
Ye Qianming knew that this aura was a type of evil spirit, so he mobilized his spiritual power to prevent the evil spirit from entering his body.
After walking for about half a moment, there was no light at all, and Ye Qianming could only rely on his spiritual sense to detect.
At this moment, there was a sudden rustling sound above his head, and Ye Qianming instinctively took a step back with ghost steps to avoid the falling objects.
This was a ground viper as tall as a man, with a black body, a huge body, green eyes, and two fangs that were threateningly exposed at Ye Qianming.
Ye Qianming's consciousness only detected his surroundings, but forgot about the rock pillars above the cave.
Ye Qianming was in no hurry to take action. Ground vipers tend to live in groups, and there might be other ground vipers around.
So I put my consciousness upwards, and sure enough, there were still three giant snakes circling!
Perhaps realizing that they had been discovered, the three vipers above also fell down, causing dust to rise on the ground.
However, before the three big snakes could stand up, Ye Qianming's scimitar was already in front of a ground viper.
He doesn't want to be surrounded, so it's better to strike first!
The sharp edge of the scimitar penetrated seven inches of the snake, but only made a small cut. It was obvious that the skin of this ground viper was too thick.
But Ye Qianming was not surprised, and immediately applied a Qingquan Palm, and the water spirit power penetrated into the ground viper's wound like dense silver needles, and then pierced the snake's body wantonly.
The big snake immediately fell to the ground in pain. Seeing this, the other three companions also opened their bloody mouths, trying to surround and kill Ye Qianming.
Ye Qianming made a prompt decision and crushed the viper's head with one foot, sending it back to the west. Then he used the Ghost Trail to quickly open up the space and escape from the encirclement of the three big snakes.
However, two of the ground vipers immediately turned around and sprayed out extremely corrosive venom, while the other crawled on the ground and moved quickly, trying to rush up to block Ye Qianming's retreat.
Ye Qianming threw the scimitar decisively and accurately inserted it into the head of the attacking snake. However, the wound was not deep and it could only make it struggle on the ground temporarily.
Ye Qianming then continued to use Gui Zubu to barely avoid two jets of venom.
"Venom and strangulation are both the unique skills of the Ground Viper. You must not fall victim to any of them."
Ye Qianming warned himself in his heart, and then struck the rock wall with the Qingquan Palm, causing the rock pillars above to fall off, trapping the two ground vipers who were about to pursue him.
Ye Qianming took advantage of this opportunity to step on the fallen rock pillar, and first inserted the scimitar completely into the head of the struggling ground viper, killing it.
After retrieving the scimitar, Ye Qianming could easily deal with the remaining two vipers.
First, Gui Zunbu avoided the attack of the ground viper, and then kicked the surrounding rock pillars one by one to the two snakes gathered together. These stones became an excellent long-range attack method, and one of them was directly smashed to death.
As for the other one that was still surviving, Ye Qianming used Qingquan Palm to make up for it.
After the whole battle was over, Ye Qianming once again confirmed that the surroundings were safe, and attached two defensive talismans for the cave before he relaxed and adjusted his breath.
Not long after, Ye Qianming felt that the spiritual power in his body was not only fully restored, but also surging, as if he had made a breakthrough.
"This is your chance to break through to the sixth floor!"
Ye Qianming seized the opportunity and started to break through directly, but after all, his spiritual power was unstable after the battle. To ensure that he was safe, he borrowed a hand of spiritual power from the spiritual power bank as a guarantee.
However, this was unnecessary. This breakthrough went very smoothly. It took Ye Qianming less than a moment to break through to the sixth level of Qi Refining, which made him quite excited.
"Yes, I can feel that the absorption of spiritual energy has reached a higher level, and the amount of energy that can be borrowed from the spiritual energy bank has also increased."
Ye Qianming clenched his fists in joy, and then spent some time removing the snake skin, snake gallbladder, snake teeth and demon elixir from the ground viper. These are all good materials that can be used.
After a moment of preparation, Ye Qianming continued to move forward into the dark cave.
I also encountered vipers once on the way, but there were only two of them. Another time, I almost fell into a quagmire, but luckily Ye Qianming used Ghost Trail to escape.
After many adventures along the way, Ye Qianming finally came to the place where the old man Leng Shi talked about the mineral deposits.
This is an extremely rich mineral vein, with a large amount of hard cold iron and some associated spiritual stones emitting crystal light in this dark cave.
Ye Qianming looked at the mineral deposits in front of him and couldn't help but sigh: "These cold irons are more than enough to make a hundred swords!"
Ye Qianming wanted to mine immediately, but his cautious nature made him use his spiritual sense to explore again. After this inspection, he found anomalies.
Among the vast ores, a ground viper that was far larger than before coiled around like a hill. The snake's body was covered with cold iron ore, and it was perfectly camouflaged in the many ores. It closed its eyes and fell asleep.
"This is the second-order monster cold iron python?!" Ye Qianming was shocked. He didn't expect that there was a second-order monster here!
As its name suggests, Cold Iron Python is a second-level monster that is a viper that swallows a large amount of cold iron and buries cold iron ore in its body, forming a symbiotic relationship. Not only is its body extremely hard, but it can also recover from injuries by swallowing cold iron.
Extremely difficult to deal with.
It's not that Ye Qianming doesn't know the growth environment of the cold iron python, but the ground viper is weak in nature, and swallowing luminous ores like cold iron is against its nature. And the cold iron python was only there before the last demonic calamity.
It only appears when you are not afraid of light.
The cold iron python in front of me may be extremely lucky to have inherited the bloodline from its elders, so it has a glimmer of hope to advance successfully.
Ye Qianming frowned: "This is a bit troublesome. Although I can deal with the first-level monsters, the cold iron python is really beyond my ability. If I don't disturb it, I would still..."
"Tweet--"
At this moment, the fox's cry suddenly echoed in the cave, and then a familiar figure rolled down from behind.
Fox Xiaobai flew out with the storage ring on and landed on the mine, feeling dizzy.
And the cold iron python that was still sleeping was awakened by this movement. Its mountain-like body began to rotate, and its whole body straightened up, directly touching the high top of the cave.
"noob!"
Ye Qianming didn't have time to make the next step, so he immediately used Ghost Tracking to save Xiaobai, who fell with the ore. The latter chirped a few times, then got into Ye Qianming's arms and hid.
Ye Qianming wanted to use Ghost Trail Steps continuously to retreat, but Leng Iron Python would never give him this chance. With a powerful sweep of its snake tail, Leng Iron Mine was thrown away and fell onto the cave wall, causing the entire cave to collapse and a large amount of rain fell.
The rocks directly trapped Ye Qianming to death here.
Ye Qianming held a scimitar in his hand and frequently dodged the flying rocks thrown by Leng Iron Python. Ye Qianming was already tired of dealing with the opponent's playful attacks.
"We can't go on like this. In the end, we will definitely be tortured to death by this beast."
Ye Qianming was hiding while thinking of ways.
"Since we can't run away, we can only fight, but how?"
Ye Qianming thought about his methods. The only attack methods were a scimitar and the half-baked Qingquan Palm. If Lengquan had learned any of the three skills, the situation might have been different.
The only other means is your own spiritual world.
While thinking about it, Ye Qianming's eyes suddenly lit up. There was a way that might work!
"If I can find an opportunity to inject a large amount of spiritual power into this cold iron snake, and then give it back double the amount, maybe I can make it die of exhaustion of spiritual power!"
"Everything has spiritual power in its body, but Xiaobai is a spiritual beast, and like humans, it relies on spiritual power to cultivate. However, when the monster beast has not transformed, it can only improve its cultivation by swallowing flesh and blood. In other words, this spiritual power can only
It will put it in debt and not be able to use it!”
Although Ye Qianming had a plan in mind, he needed to control Leng Iron Snake, otherwise Ye Qianming could be seriously injured with a single sweep from the opponent.
So Ye Qianming took out the little fox in his arms and said, "Xiao Bai, help me set up the formation!"
Xiao Bai is a spiritual beast who is proficient in formation restraints. Ye Qianming's formations are not his strong point. He only knows a first-level formation that improves the absorption of spiritual power. Now he wants to set up a second-level demon locking formation, and he must cooperate with Xiao Bai.
The power of whiteness.
Although the fox Xiaobai was very afraid of the cold iron python, after hearing Ye Qianming's words, he still got out obediently and threw a few white hairs to Ye Qianming. When they fell into Ye Qianming's hands, they turned into hard ones.
white needle.
This is Xiaobai's ability. The hair on his body is the formation flag. Ye Qianming has been using fox fur to set up the formation for the past five years.
At this time, Leng Iron Python also seemed to be aware of Ye Qianming's different actions. Although he didn't know what it was, he instinctively put away his desire for fun and rushed towards Ye Qianming with his mouth wide open.
Ye Qianming was well prepared, and he dodged the cold iron python's bite with ghostly steps. Seeing that he couldn't catch up, the latter spit out another stream of venom and hit Ye Qianming's face.
Ye Qianming had no choice but to throw out his scimitar to resist for a moment. The scimitar turned into pieces the moment it touched the venom. Ye Qianming used this moment to avoid the subsequent venom and arranged a side
Formation flag.
Leng Iron Python turned around to give chase, but Ye Qianming simply circled with it, spinning around Leng Iron Python's huge body while setting up the formation flags one by one.
Leng Iron Python chased Ye Qianming from behind, but his body was gradually imprisoned by him. It wasn't until his head could no longer move forward an inch that he realized that his body was tied in a knot.
Ye Qianming's Demon Locking Formation was also completed at this time. Since he did not have the ability to arrange the secondary formation independently, Ye Qianming used Xiaobai's inspiration to place the formation flags and set up a simple version of the Demon Locking Formation.
Leng Iron Python, who was still trying to extricate himself, was suddenly suppressed by the pressure of the formation. His whole body sank, becoming weak and drowsy.
This demon-locking formation had weakened in duration and intensity. Ye Qianming had no physical means to take advantage of his illness and kill him, so he could only use his golden fingers.
After confirming the power of the Demon Locking Formation, Ye Qianming placed his hand against the cold and hard mineral skin of the cold iron python, and the spiritual power from the spiritual world was crazily injected into it.
Leng Iron Python seemed to feel the infusion of spiritual power, and instinctively made it feel danger, but its body was tightly controlled by the formation, and it could only let Ye Qianming do what he did.
The injection of spiritual power lasted for half an hour before Ye Qianming stopped.
At this moment, Xiaobai on the side came forward and raised the ring hanging on his short neck.
"Is this Master Chu's storage ring?" Ye Qianming took off the ring, his consciousness was directly connected to the storage ring, and he saw the message left by the old man Leng Shi.
