Chapter one hundred and seventy-ninth hole breaking the mystery
The cage made of vines and wood is becoming smaller.
Jiang Feng took out Mo Di's sword and activated the [Cold Curse] on it. A trace of coldness seeped out from the sword and spread rapidly to the surroundings. The originally bound cage seemed to feel a trace of fear, but it was not completely
Retreating, just a few feet, made this prison where I couldn't turn around become a little wider.
This plant monster ghost vine should be higher than the third level, otherwise, the effect of [Cold Curse] may make it retreat directly. Jiang Feng thought for a moment and released Jiang Zhiwen as well. He still looked confused.
"Master, where is this place and why is it so chaotic?"
"Shh, hurry up and start mowing the grass."
"What kind of grass is this? Is it delicious?"
"It's not delicious at all. This thing has trapped us. Junior brother, please do it quickly!" Jiang Chengzi slapped him on the head and gave him a small lesson, "Hurry up!"
Jiang Feng put on the gold and jade earrings, and the nearby spiritual energy was slightly concentrated. Although it was less than half the concentration outside the ruins, it finally prevented the spiritual energy from leaking out slowly. He handed the two disciples some Qi-boosting pills and ordered
While they were recovering their spiritual power, they used low-level fire talismans to continuously bombard the strange vines on one side.
The direction Jiang Feng chose was the side where the ghost vine was getting stronger. Brutal force, entanglement, spikes, and explosive fruits were all the abilities of the ghost vine that he knew now. It also required the use of cages and needles.
Judging from the trap itself, it should lack more powerful attack methods. If it can successfully reach the core of the ghost vine, then this thing may not be difficult to kill.
The low-level fiery talisman had little effect on ghost vines, but with the blessing of [Cold Curse], the cage where the few people were in continued to extend to one side. After half an hour, Jiang Feng replaced the few remaining spiritual powers of the two.
Apprentice, the progress of using the second-level fire talisman became faster. Jiang Zhiwen was actually better than his senior brother Jiang Chengzi in this aspect. He was born to use fox fire. After a short period of training, he could control the flame more accurately.
, and consumes less spiritual power than using the Fire Talisman.
The cage is constantly changing its position, and the vines around it are getting thicker and thicker. However, this plant monster seems to be very intelligent. It often suddenly throws dozens of explosive fruits from its thorns, making the area around the cage extremely sticky.
, unable to move forward again, they had to take a detour before continuing. Two hours later, the three of them seemed to still be quite far away from the center of the ghost vine.
This doesn't work, it's too inefficient.
Jiang Feng calmed down and thought carefully about how to get out of trouble. He soon discovered that the closer to the core of the ghost vine, the denser branches of the ghost vine would hinder themselves. Perhaps it would be a better idea to go deeper quickly.
I see.
“Meditation recovery!”
An hour later, Jiang Feng put the two of them away and put on the turquoise necklace. The silver-feathered arrow in his hand quickly condensed, and he aimed it at the densely coiled vines under him, and fired an arrow!
At the same time, Mo Di in his hand was replaced by the Lan Yan sword, and he struck straight down with a vertical blow along the rapidly widening path of the silver feather arrow.
boom!
Countless branches and vines were blown away. Jiang Feng almost traveled nearly a hundred steps with this move. The vines that were originally as thick as an arm also became as thick as a bucket, and the roots stood at his side. As the heat of the silver feather arrows dissipated, the roots began to grow.
The vines were squeezing towards Jiang Feng again. He quickly changed into Mo Di, and activated the [Cold Curse] quickly. Then he stabilized his body, released Jiang Chengzi and Jiang Zhiwen again, and repeated the same trick. Although the vines here
It was thicker and more resistant to flames, but the densely distributed vines made it difficult for even the fruits of the monster beast to squeeze in. The three of them moved much faster.
The light of the last flame armor talisman was about to fade away. Jiang Feng had no fire defense talisman. However, after many attempts, he found that using the golden light talisman in combination with the explosive talisman was more effective. Moreover, this ghost plant seemed to be here.
The center of the vine is different from what you imagined. It is a root tuber the size of a millstone and covered with two thick vines. It is buried in the soft black soil. If you get closer and listen, you will hear a pounding heartbeat coming from it.
This is the core of this ghost vine.
How to deal with it?
Kill him?
The Silver Feather Arrow is a solution, but it seems a bit wasteful. This monster may be one of the few existences in this valley that has little to do with Venerable Yuanchu. Maybe it is just one of the many monsters that Yuan Chu absorbed during his lifetime.
, but judging from his ability, he probably abandoned him early and left him to fend for himself in the ruins.
After thinking for a moment, when the flame armor talisman's light disappeared, Jiang Feng had already put on the flying bird silver hairpin, and the "power of burning fire" bloomed in his hand, touching the core of the ghost vine covered with hard skin.
hiss!
The white mist is steaming, and the water vapor in the core of the ghost vine is evaporating rapidly. The ghost vine is struggling hard, his
The roots crazily stretched deeper into the ground, trying to suck out more water to replenish its losses, but all its efforts were in vain. When the red spiritual power in the flying bird's silver hairpin was about to dissipate, this millstone-sized
The core of the ghost vine has shriveled into a heart-shaped object not much bigger than the palm of your hand.
Let's call you "Kido Xinmu".
All the vines at the root of the ghost vine are broken, which is where it is most vulnerable. If this thing has a chance to transform, it may be able to make up for these fatal flaws. However, as a plant-like monster that cannot move in its body, once it reaches the core of the root,
, there is only one way to die.
He took out a jade box and placed the "Ghost Vine Heart Wood" inside, but the storage bag rejected it. It seemed that the ghost vine was not really dead, but just fell asleep due to dehydration. Jiang Feng could not think of how to deal with it for the time being.
, it can only be put into the spirit beast bag for temporary storage.
The three of them pushed aside the vines that had not completely withered and walked along the direction where the ghost vines extended. The vines and ghostly face leaves should be first-level materials, but apart from feeding monsters, they should be of no use, and the quantity
There were so many that even the storage bag couldn't be put down, so Jiang Feng could only give up.
After struggling for so long, Jiang Feng's physical and spiritual power had bottomed out. In order to avoid possible risks, he had to consume a second-level fire spirit stone and use Mo Di's [Snow Hidden] to restore his spiritual power.
If you are lucky, you will consume exactly twice the spiritual energy and still have seven times of your own reserves left, but you will not be able to use it again within two hours.
However, it would take time for Jiang Chengzi and Jiang Zhiwen's spiritual power to recover, so Jiang Feng decided to rest for a while and wait until [Xue Zang]'s cooldown recovered before continuing forward.
…………
Yuanchu Taoist Palace.
Dust was flying on the narrow stairs, and the group kept their distance. After walking for half a quarter of an hour, they arrived at a new location. Unlike the previous altar, this place was more like a library.
Ten six-foot-long and nine-foot-high bookcases are arranged in sequence in the field of vision. Most of the books on them are rotten, with only a few jade slips still shining with cyan light.
The number of jade slips is not large, there are three in total.
Because of what happened before, everyone still did not move forward, but waited for the first person who was willing to try.
"I come."
Unlike Zeng Baojun, who tried to exchange magic weapons for the first time, Leng Tingtao was the first to take the initiative this time. He strolled to the bookshelf, first observed all the remaining jade slips, and finally stopped at one of them casually, taking
He picked up the jade slip, placed it on his forehead, and took it off after a while.
He did not speak, but threw the jade slip in the air and played three symbols in a row. A white light curtain instantly appeared in front of everyone, and dots of golden light gradually merged into countless words.
Several prefectural-level people are all famous people, and they are no strangers to this ancient demon text. Only Zhou Zhenglian from Tianlimen does not understand the text above. However, he cannot control the situation in the field by building a foundation, so he is not in a hurry.
Asked, because of the previous turmoil, he was now faintly at the end of the team, only keeping a relatively close distance to Zeng Baojun of Chixiamen.
"I am Yuan Chu. All of you fellow Taoists are destined to be with me if you can come here."
"I have spent my whole life wandering alone without leaving any disciples, so I am willing to give my life's gains to those who are destined for me."
"A scroll of jade slips is actually a Taoist scripture, which contains all the experiences of rushing from the earth level to the heaven level;"
"The other jade slip is the formation that Gu Qing has loved all his life. Everything here is created by what Gu Qing has learned in his life. All fellow Taoists have naturally experienced it."
"Both of them can be obtained by those who are predestined, but they can only be used by one person for reference, and they will automatically disappear."
"Whoever gets this jade slip must clear out all the people in the place before leaving."
"That's fair."
Is this asking us to kill each other?
This thought popped up in everyone's mind, and the distance between them and other people gradually widened a lot.
"The old Yuanchu thief is very calculating." Zeng Baojun was the first to say, "I don't agree with everyone fighting to the death. We just need a fair way. First of all, is anyone willing to give up?"
Cui Yinghuan from the Li Sect, Zuo Fengting from the Jincheng Sect, and Zhou Zhenglian from the Tianli Sect quietly withdrew from the circle. However, the three Xuan-level monks from the Lingcong Chamber of Commerce did not move, even the Xuan-level monk Pu Ziyu who had his life span removed.
, also stayed in the circle.
"Are you no longer afraid of Yuan Chu's words?" Zeng Baojun looked at Chu Anlan who had not moved. When he chose the magic weapon, the other party clearly refused to participate.
"You pretend to be a ghost, do you deserve to call yourself 'Gu'?"
Chu Anlan looked around, his eyes burning, falling on the black walls that seemed to fit tightly around him.
, he has tried this wall before, and the talisman has limited effect on it. This is not because the material itself is rare, but because of the power of the formation. The formation absorbs all the power and keeps the place sealed and stable.
"Why should we follow the ideas set by Yuan Chu? He is just a fallen heaven-level person!" As he spoke, Chu Anlan once again tested the strength of the wall with only his spiritual power and estimated the difficulty of breaking the formation.
"It's a fake heaven level."
Qiu Nanjia from the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce took over and added. She looked at Mu Qianxue, who had been silent since entering the room, "Friend Cultivation, what do you have in mind? I think you also understand the formation, why don't we go over it together.
How about next?"
"Since you don't want to fight fearlessly, why not break the formation first? Maybe there will be other gains. I am willing to contribute a fourth-level non-standard formation-breaking talisman."
Chu Anlan gave his own point of view and offered tempting conditions. A fourth-level non-standard formation-breaking talisman was worth a lot of money. Many monks of the same level would be very distressed if they took it out, but for those who are in charge of the Li Sect Spiritual Land
For him, this is nothing.
What he cared about in his heart was actually the relationship between Yuan and Chu. He didn't want to be contaminated by his words and affect his clarity of mind just because he got something.
Although the previous exchange of magic weapons seemed attractive, for his wealth, anything that could be purchased with spiritual stones was not attractive enough to him. And the collection of monks' experience, such as Taoist Scriptures and Formation Books,
It's not that spiritual stones can be bought. Therefore, he wanted to get one of them, but it was impossible for Yuan Chu not to leave behind his handwriting. So, if he could find out the residual pieces that he suspected of being alive and kill them completely, this so-called handwriting would
, naturally there is no need to take it to heart anymore.
"You guys, aren't you afraid of Venerable Yuanchu's punishment?"
Pu Ziyu from the Lingcong Chamber of Commerce suddenly jumped out of the circle. His face was gloomy, his eyes were dull, and his arrogant attitude and behavior were obviously inconsistent with his identity and level of cultivation.
Whoosh!
Suddenly a long sword was inserted into his back. It was Qiu Nanjia. "Yuanchu, you'd better come out and say it yourself. Is it so interesting to consume the life span of the living?"
"Haha," Pu Ziyu spat out a mouthful of bright red blood, but he did not die. "Fellow Taoists, your eyes are indeed bright and you can realize that I am still alive." He raised his head, his beard and hair turned from black to white. Shouyuan seemed to be being further influenced by him.
Killing, "If those who have traded my magic weapon don't want their Taoist hearts to be stained, how about helping me to kill a few people who didn't exchange it? I am willing to change the conditions and hand over the Taoist scriptures and formation books to you. I
Having said that, it’s fair.”
"Times have changed, old thief." A flash of inspiration suddenly appeared on Mu Qianxue, and a dense golden net rolled up a cloud of black mist and held it in one place, "Is this what you mean by the dusty Taoist heart?
?”
"Um?"
Pu Ziyu's gray eyes stared at the struggling black mist, "I am unlucky to encounter the formation master's handiwork. However, you alone may not be enough. Think about it, you can be promoted to the heaven level.
Don’t you all need the Taoist scriptures?” He looked at the remaining people with his eyes like dead fish.
A meat ball the size of a heart suddenly bulged out from Leng Tingtao's arm. The ball rolled for a moment before breaking off from his body and turning into a small dark beast. The little beast had no arms or legs, only one
It had only blood-red eyes and spikes all over its body, and its whole body was densely covered with black energy, which was exactly the same as what Mu Qianxue had thrown.
Liao Shenchang didn't hesitate, and suddenly squatted down. His physical strength and spiritual power fluctuated violently, and his cultivation level dropped to the earth level. He stood up, leaving a pool of black dust on the ground.
"You have actually prepared a way to crack it a long time ago. It seems that I am the only one who is lagging behind." Zeng Baojun said with a smile, "Brother Leng, if I guess correctly, it was you who sent a message to remind them, right? This good man actually asked you to do it.
.”
"Although I don't have a way to break it, I have completed the conditions you set. So, old thief, you'd better make a clear path. Do you think our brains are all broken after we have cultivated to the earth level?"
"In that case," Pu Ziyu snorted coldly, his haggard figure shriveled up a bit again, "Then come on, let me see the strength of you rookies!"
Layers of black light surged around his body, and the same aura surged like wild waves on the bodies of the three Xuan-level people who had exchanged magic weapons before, Cui Yinghuan of the Li Sect, Qiu Chengzhi of the Tianli Sect, and Zuo Fengting of the Jincheng Sect.
He moved and rushed towards several earth-level people without fear.
Zeng Baojun hurriedly moved a step to the left to avoid Cui Yinghuan, a monk from the Li Sect who was showing signs of demonization. It was initially judged that Cui Yinghuan was hopeless. It seemed that the care mentioned by the cousin of the head could not be fulfilled. But he added
Incredibly, Zhou Zhenglian, a monk from Tianlimen who also exchanged magic weapons, seemed not to be affected by Yuanchu's words.
