Hong Ling, who was originally flying, suddenly stopped and took out the summons. When his spiritual consciousness scanned his face, his expression was dull for a moment, but after a while, the muscles on Hong Ling's face twitched, and his eyes flashed fiercely.
"Haha..." Hong Ling laughed evilly, his voice as crazy as a crow's scream.
Hong Ling's laughter subsided, and his eyes were full of killing intent and extreme excitement: "Lu Ming, as expected, you are the human monk. Haha, God help me, you killed my son, massacred my people, and then let
I have lost face in front of all the protectors. Now that I know that you betrayed the cave master, huh, if I don’t let your soul go to pieces, will I still have the face to live?”
Smiling evilly, Hong Ling rolled up his red robe, turned his whole body into a red light, changed direction and rushed directly towards Hong Ling Cave.
…
From the time when the white tiger appeared to when the giant lizard was finally killed, it only took a moment. During this period, the giant lizard, the monkey, and the triceratops were killed, but the giant scorpion turned against him and killed the monkey instead. It was really disappointing.
People were taken aback.
"Brother, after reaching the fourth level spiritual beast, my strength has increased several times. It is easy to kill a mid-level fourth-level kid. Even an early-level fifth-level master has some confidence." Xiaohu said proudly, fluttering his wings.
Lu Ming was surprised, "Haha, Xiaohu, you said you are a fifth-grade early stage spiritual beast, don't brag. Do you think you are really a divine beast?" Lu Ming laughed, although Lu Ming also knew that Xiaohu might be a divine beast, but he
It can't be an ancient beast like Xiaolong!
Xiaohu was furious and said angrily: "What do you know, this is my secret. You see, as my skills improve, I have changed a lot. When I experienced that forbidden technique, it was so painful.
Did I suffer in vain?"
"Besides, since we met you know that I have inherited the secret technique. How can ordinary spiritual beasts have it?"
Lu Ming was very clear in his heart. According to what he said at the beginning, Xiaohu needed the fourth level of Taoism to fully transform into a human form. Generally, only divine beasts can transform into human form at the third level.
But if the little tiger is a divine beast, why is it that when he reached the third level three years ago and went through the forbidden technique, he was still slightly weaker than the fungus silk? Lu Ming couldn't figure this out. He always felt that the little tiger was weaker than the divine beast.
Lu Ming and Xiao Hu were communicating with each other spiritually, but the giant scorpion was motionless. In fact, it didn't matter whether Xiao Hu was a divine beast or not, as long as the little tiger had enough strength, it would be better if it was a divine beast, so why bother.
"Xiaohu, what do you think we should do with this guy?" Lu Ming said aloud deliberately while looking at the giant scorpion. Xiaohu also turned around and looked at the giant scorpion, with a green light flashing in his eyes and an evil aura.
To the giant scorpion.
The giant scorpion took the lead and said: "Guardian Lu Ming, I know that with the cooperation of this senior White Tiger and the guardian you, the giant lizard and the others will definitely not be their opponents even if they include me. Since they are not opponents, I don't want to die like this. I hope that the guardian Lu Ming will die like this.
Take me in, even if Protector Lu Ming wants to replace that fungus in the future, I will definitely stand behind Protector Lightning."
"Oh?" Lu Ming looked at the giant scorpion but didn't say anything. Instead, he waved his sleeves and rolled out a stream of body-refining spiritual power and qi-refining spiritual power, directly removing the crystal cores of the monkey, triceratops and giant lizard.
Collected it, and also collected the storage bracelets and pill treasures of the three people.
"These three people didn't self-destruct in the end." Lu Ming couldn't help but laugh. The fourth-grade spiritual beast crystal core is a terrifying existence even for the Martial Emperor.
If the three of them self-destruct, at least the crystal core of the three of them, Lu Ming, will be lost.
The giant scorpion said: "Lightning protector, crystal core self-destruction, that is what idiots do."
"What kind of idiotic method?" Lu Ming asked rhetorically.
Giant Scorpion said directly: "When the spirit beast is killed, the soul still has a moment of residence time, which is enough time for it to self-destruct. It is one thing to have the conditions to self-destruct, but it is another thing to dare to self-destruct."
"First of all, once the crystal core self-destructs, the enemies next to it will feel the energy fluctuations early and avoid them very quickly. Even if the self-destruction can hurt the enemy, it cannot kill the enemy. The second reason is also the most important reason. Once it self-destructs,
My own soul will be blown to pieces!" There was a smile on the giant scorpion's face.
"On the one hand, you can't kill the enemy, and on the other hand, you have to let your soul fly away. How many cultivators dare? They all know the horror of the soul flying away. Once the soul flies away, it will truly disappear from the world forever." The giant scorpion face.
There was also a hint of seriousness.
Lu Ming and Xiaohu glanced at each other. What the giant scorpion said was really right. The self-destruction of the crystal core and the self-destruction of the Nascent Soul are generally difficult to kill the enemy. After all, even self-destruction has a start-up time, and the enemy can stay away from it.
.Even if he is seriously injured, he will not die. If he cannot kill the enemy, who would be willing to lose his own soul?
"But the only use of self-destruction is to prevent the enemy from getting your Nascent Soul." Giant Scorpion said with a smile.
Lu Ming suddenly laughed. In this battle, he got three crystal nuclei in one breath. These crystal nuclei are the energy core of those spirit beasts. If he goes back and practices hard this time, he will definitely make great progress.
"Then why didn't the three giant lizards blow themselves up?" Lu Ming said, "Didn't they blow themselves up so that I can't get the Nascent Soul? It seems they are still timid."
The giant scorpion said disdainfully: "Do they dare to self-destruct? What's more, the monkey and the giant lizard have no chance to self-destruct. I directly smashed the monkey's head with one punch and destroyed his soul. Senior White Tiger was also destroyed.
The head of the monitor lizard also destroyed the soul. Without the soul, they would not be able to self-destruct even if they wanted to. As for the Triceratops, since he is dead, what use is the crystal core? Those selfish people will not have the courage to let their souls fly away!"
Ju Scorpion looked at Lu Ming and said doubtfully: "Protector Lu Ming, don't you know that this soul is very fragile, and it can be destroyed directly with just one blow from the power."
Lu Ming was surprised. Lu Ming had not studied this aspect too deeply, but when he thought about it carefully, it was true. When Lu Ming killed the triceratops just now, he only destroyed the heart. If he directly destroyed the head and shattered the soul, that would be the simplest way.
.
Kill the enemy, and make the enemy's soul fly away, and there will never be a chance to recover!
"Not just the soul, even if the Nascent Soul is fused and separated from the body, it is extremely fragile. Look at those super masters who have lost their bodies, why do they practice Sanxian? It's because although they have a lot of energy, their own defense is too low and they don't dare to
Attack each other with the enemy." Lu Ming understood it as soon as he heard it.
Even masters who have reached the fifth level will not fly out of the body with crystal core fusion souls to fight with others.
Firstly, the defense itself is not strong enough. Secondly, the crystal core fuses with the soul. Once the crystal core is injured, the soul will be easily damaged, which is fatal. Without the body, those super masters will also have to practice Sanxian and gather the body of Sanxian for protection.
Core crystal nucleus.
Lu Ming now had a good impression of the giant scorpion, "Giant scorpion, this time I betrayed the cave master. If you don't die, what will you do if you inform the cave master? Cutting the grass without eradicating the roots is not a good idea. I
There is no reason to let you go." Lu Ming said thoughtfully.
Hearing what Lu Ming said, Ju Scorpion's face suddenly became serious. Ju Scorpion raised his palms and said solemnly: "I, Ju Scorpion, swear to God, if I betray the Lightning Protector and reveal his secrets, then I will be killed by the thunder.
Killed to death, his soul will be scattered, and he will never be reincarnated." The giant scorpion's voice was loud and serious.
Both Lu Ming and Xiaohu sensed a special feeling, which is a feeling that can only be felt by the soul. The feeling of the fluctuation of heaven and earth!
"Okay." Lu Ming smiled. As a cultivator, Lu Ming knew very well about swearing. If these oaths are broken, they will definitely be fulfilled. Maybe some mortals in the mortal world who don't know anything will swear casually.
Lu Ming and the others did not dare to swear casually.
"However, you and my second brother Xiaohu will hide for a while now. When everything is safe, I will notify you directly through a summons." Lu Ming had already made a plan in his mind and immediately said to the giant scorpion.
Ju Scorpion smiled and said: "I understand the meaning of the protector. I believe you, Protector Lu Ming, will shift the responsibility to me this time."
Lu Ming smiled. It felt good to have a smart subordinate, especially one who would never betray him.
"Protector Lu Ming, I have something to tell you. This matter is very important. If you fail, your plan may not be implemented." The giant scorpion's face was slightly solemn. Lu Ming also looked at the giant scorpion, ready to listen.
Giant Scorpion said.
"Protector Lu Ming, the giant lizard passed the summons before he died and spread the news that you are a traitor."
Lu Ming's expression suddenly changed.
Oops! Cold sweat broke out all over Lu Ming's back. Once the news of his betrayal spreads, the cave master of the Red Spirit Cave will never let him go. The Red Spirit Anaconda is an extremely powerful spirit in itself.
The beast has reached the early stage of the fifth-grade spiritual beast.
It's really hard to say how strong Funutai's true strength is.
"There is no need to worry, Protector Lu Ming." Juscorpio said confidently.
Lu Ming looked at the giant scorpion at this moment. Seeing that he looked confident, he couldn't help but have a glimmer of hope. He immediately asked: "I don't know what you can do, giant scorpion. Just tell me?"
The giant scorpion nodded and said: "Protector Lu Ming, the protectors under Hongling Cave Mansion each have their own agenda, who is absolutely loyal? Even if the giant lizard tells other protectors this news, do those protectors mean to take the lead? The strength of the protector Xiaolong is not the same.
I said it was just for fun."
As soon as these words came out, Lu Ming felt relaxed. With Xiaolong here, would those people dare to go against Lu Ming?
"What's more, is what the giant lizard protector said true?" The giant scorpion monster laughed.
Lu Ming was startled, and then he also laughed. Yes, the news delivered by the Guardian Lizard must be true? Could it be that the Guardian Lizard framed him? Anyway, all the witnesses present were dead, and there was no proof.
Speaking of which, Lu Ming didn't know what to do, so he was really an idiot.
"Giant Lizard, he said I betrayed, can't I say he betrayed? And I have witnesses." After discovering this, Lu Ming's plan changed again. Originally, Giant Scorpion was not allowed to go back, so he hid outside for a period of time.
. Now it is time to let Ju Scorpion go back. This is a great witness. The main reason is that Ju Scorpion was considered to be very honest in the past.
Giant Scorpion also nodded. "But Protector Lu must kill one person, and that person is Hong Ling. Hong Ling has a grudge against you. He knew the news and must have tried every means to confuse the cave master. I know the cave master, although he is considered a tycoon.
, but the suspicion is serious. Once the red spirit is successful in bewitching, then..."
Lu Ming heard what Ju Xie said and knew it in his heart. Outsiders might be intimidated by Xiao Long's power and would not offend Lu Ming. After all, even if they reported it, it would not be beneficial to those people. Instead, they would offend Lu Ming. But Hong Ling was different.
, he will definitely try every means to deal with Lu Ming.
"No, he is in the cave right now. Even if I rush back with all my strength, it will still take me half a day." Lu Ming's expression changed.
The giant scorpion smiled and said: "If my information is good, then the red spirit must have followed us out. Now, Protector Lu only needs to send a message to Protector Xiaolong and let Protector Xiaolong investigate. If Xiaolong is with the cave master, he will
Kill him directly. If he is not in the cave, let the little dragon protector prepare to stop and kill the red spirit outside the cave."
Lu Ming thought of something. If Hong Ling knew the news and told the cave master directly through a summons, that would be terrible.
Ju Scorpion seemed to have guessed what Lu Ming was thinking, and said: "Don't worry, protector, the cave master must not know that the cave master has been in retreat since a hundred years ago, and he is most afraid of anyone disturbing him during the retreat. Even when he is in retreat, he
Not even bringing a summons, this is something that almost every protector knows."
Lu Ming smiled. He and Xiaolong had just arrived at Hongling Cave, so they didn't know about this.
"Xiaolong, go and check to see if the red spirit is in the cave. If it is, kill it directly. If not, prepare to kill the red spirit at the entrance of the cave. No matter what, you must not let the red spirit see it.
To the cave master."
Through the summons, Lu Ming passed the news to Xiaolong. Xiaolong, who was extremely courageous, was the best at doing this kind of thing. Lu Ming was also relieved.
"Protector Lu, I have a secret to tell the protector." In order to show his loyalty this time, Ju Xie seems to have told everything. In fact, Ju Xie also knows that if he hides the secret, Lu Ming will find out about him one day.
Hiding it is not a good thing.
The giant scorpion could clearly see that Lu Ming now had two super masters, Xiaohu and Xiaolong. According to his judgment, Xiaolong and Xiaohu were at least as strong as the late fourth-grade spiritual beasts, or even stronger. With such strength, he had no intention of seeking refuge.
question.
Lu Ming had a smile on his face: "Oh, what secret?"
At this moment, Lu Ming was also very satisfied with the giant scorpion. The giant scorpion said seriously: "No matter how diligent a person is in cultivation, he will not be in seclusion at any time for a hundred years. And according to the investigation of his subordinates, the fungus was not so diligent a hundred years ago.
.Furthermore, a hundred years ago, there were more than twenty Dharma Protectors in Hongling Cave. However, I don’t know what happened, and most of the Dharma Protectors were suddenly reduced.”
"Combined with the fact that he has often retreated in the past hundred years, I think there must be something in the reason why Funutai has retreated at any time in the past hundred years, and this matter must be related to the sudden disappearance of those protectors." The giant scorpion's eyes flashed with light.
