In front of the opened entrance, Li Dabang's expression did not change. He took off the magical cloak on his body. The fiery red body was already stained with frost, and bluish-white marks were condensed in many places. He shook his hand lightly, and that
The mark peeled off immediately, and before it fell to the ground, it turned into a wisp of light smoke again, and instantly transformed into various shapes, just like the strange things that rushed out when the stone door was opened just now.
It's just that these ghost-like beings seem to have little interest in Li Da Bang and his men, and they wander around aimlessly, as if they are looking for some lost target.
"Don't use your spiritual power rashly, let alone attack at will."
Li Dabang stared at it for a moment and avoided a shadow that accidentally wandered over. "This object is a pure resentful spirit. It has already locked the target when the entrance is opened. There is no need to pay too much attention. Just avoid it carefully."
After saying this, he was about to be the first to step into the stone gate, but one of his subordinates stopped him first.
"President, I'm here to explore the way." It was his "Ghost Guy".
"That's fine."
Li Dabang did not give in, and threw the fiery red cloak to him, signaling for him to block in front of him. Everyone filed in, and the team member "Wild Lily", who had recovered most of his spiritual power, once again offered flowers to light up the road ahead, Ye Mo did as usual
After the break, he carefully guarded against possible risks, but this time he kept his team member "Black Bull" by his side. Reconnaissance was not his strong point.
The passage here is not narrow. Compared with the upper level, it seems to be wider. On the left side of the passage, where it connects to the stone door, there is a deep trench that leads to an unknown place. With the faint light inspired by the lilies, you can easily see
There are a few steep slopes, but other than that, everything is hidden in darkness.
Leader Jiang, who helped the president open the entrance and took the risk, was probably locked by the body of the resentful spirit that rushed out here, and fell into the depths along this passage. His current situation is unknown.
How, is he still alive? Ye Mo stayed at the edge of the ditch for a moment, his thoughts flying, and he remembered that Leader Jiang spent a lot more time looking at him than other team members.
Maybe it's just an illusion, he thought.
…………
"The good news is, at least we're still alive."
In the crystal shell, as soon as the black boy Yingge appeared, he immediately checked the surrounding situation, but did not find anything that could be used. "Why didn't you just listen to my warning and just run away? There are also some low-level people on the left and right."
Monk, is it possible that your fighting skills are poor?"
"Oh, yes, you look very bad." He suddenly realized, "If it hadn't been for the help of that slimy monster's accomplice, you might have been like that wretched braided man, and sooner or later you would have become one of my monster frogs.
of food.”
The wretched braided man should be the bodybuilding master Ge Ping... This title is quite accurate, "I had an appointment with Li Da Bang first. You don't know his background. He is the chief of Hokuriku, Tian
The great-grandson of senior monk Li Zhenlong."
"Heaven-level monk? In this way, you, a little leader, really can't be offended. Since you call me 'Chief', maybe your cultivation level is similar to that of my master Liubo Emperor. No, definitely not."
Maybe, it shouldn't be as good as my master." Ying Ge held his chin with his right hand, his dark face full of disdain, but then he was pushed hard by Jiang Chengzi.
"My master asked you to help me come up with ideas. Why are you mentioning your master? Is it possible that you can summon him to help?"
"Isn't this what I was thinking? Look, you interrupted my train of thought." The black boy Yingge was unhappy, "Anyway, I can't die. The worst I can do is hide. Why should I be anxious?"
"Then you won't even be able to find the owner in a short period of time. You might still be hungry for hundreds of years. When others find you, you might even eat up that precious piece of turf." Jiang Zhiwen personally helped his senior brother.
A touch up.
"What you naughty kid said makes sense."
Ying Ge suddenly realized, "Let's put it this way, Jiang Feng, you should recognize this thing. It is a pure evil spirit, also known as a resentful spirit body. It is a special existence condensed from the remnant souls of monks who suffered unfair treatment or were tortured during their lifetime. And
Judging from how pure it is, someone should have done it deliberately rather than naturally forming it." Yingge reached out and touched the inner wall of the crystal shell, and his hand immediately became filled with a rich green aura. Everyone looked at him in surprise.
Watching the next swallow, a moment later, a sudden shiver ran through the body, and the brows on the black face were knitted together, looking uncomfortable.
"If it's an ordinary resentful spirit body, I can eat some. It will be of some benefit to you and me, but I can't help you right now." Yingge shrugged, looking helpless, "But, you
This smelly snake with fairly keen senses should be able to penetrate this thing."
"I've said it many times, my name is Taihua."
The black snake spirit that was originally cruising around and observing suddenly sat cross-legged and glanced at Ying Ge, "I can fly out, but whether I can fly back is still unknown. There is something special on the outside of this crystal shell, and it was in the process of rolling just now.
, it seems like something is attached to it.”
Anything extra?
With Yingge and Taihua's prompts, Jiang Feng used the "Linglong Baoguang" to re-examine the crystal shell, but saw dazzling purple light all over the place, which was a symbol of pure spiritual power. It showed the essence of this resentful spirit body.
There is not much difference between the spirit stones, but they are severely polluted and cannot be used like spirit stones. And behind the purple light, there is indeed something weird that even the "Exquisite Treasure Light" cannot penetrate.
Taihua was worried about not being able to get in, probably because of this rearrangement.
"I've sensed it. The 'Finger of God' can also control one or two, but that thing is extremely
Tough, it's difficult to get rid of them all." Jiang Zhiwen also had limited control over his spiritual power, and his face turned red. A simple attempt exhausted most of his energy.
"Let me try it out."
Jiang Feng laboriously took out the "Hai Kunli Big Stick" from the storage bag. In this strange crystal shell, it is not difficult to activate spiritual power, but it is very inconvenient to condense and control it. Perhaps this magical weapon that relies on brute force can have some effect.
utility.
Everyone dodged and almost got close to the inner edge of the crystal shell. Only then did they free up enough space. Jiang Feng took a good stance and took advantage of the gap where the surge of spiritual power had not dissipated to hit the inner edge of the crystal shell with a stick.
Click!
There was a crisp sound from the crystal shell, and a tree-like crack spread upward from the impact point, but it did not last long. The crack that had not yet opened the gap soon followed a burst of spiritual energy on the crystal shell,
It healed quickly, leaving no trace at all. Due to this impact, the crystal shell spread inward a little faster.
"These resentful spirits gathered together in one place, as if a rudimentary spiritual intelligence was born." Taihua judged based on this.
"Lingzhi?" Ying Ge suddenly realized something, and his expression immediately became solemn. After a few breaths, he lost his temper, "It is true, but it is difficult to communicate. Otherwise, I can let us out by affecting its perception."
"We have a solution." Jiang Chengzi's eyes suddenly lit up, "Master, do you still remember those strange rice grains we picked up in the stone forest? Those things seem to be able to absorb spiritual power. If they are sprinkled on this crystal shell, it will
Won’t it have some effect?”
Sure enough, everyone's deliberation efficiency was quite high. Jiang Feng quickly took out the 560 "rice grains" and prepared to try one or two.
"Soft Jade Heart Marrow, did you pick up this thing?" Black boy Yingge immediately recognized the object, "This is the bottom sand used by the master to raise Silver Star Dragon Trout. Why, didn't you catch a few by the way? That thing is terrible
It's really delicious. I haven't eaten it for many years. I can exchange it with you for 'Shui Yuan Lan Ji Hua'."
Substrate for fish farming...
The three masters and apprentices' eyesight went dark, and they couldn't help but think almost at the same time that it would have been better if they had met Phantom Yingge earlier, so that they wouldn't have wasted so much time collecting a bunch of bottom sand for fish farming.
"But this kind of thing that can absorb spiritual power for a long time may be of some use." Ying Ge grabbed a handful and sprinkled it on the crystal shell around him, and saw the rice-like "soft jade heart essence" immediately attached to it.
On the surface, there were some black spots formed by dissolution, but the spiritual energy on the crystal shell kept surging towards the black spots. For a while, even the "soft jade heart essence" could not break through the crystal shell.
There are some ways!
"Yingge, you interfere with this thing's sanity!"
Jiang Feng suddenly sprinkled the pile of "soft jade heart essence" on the position where Yingge had just tried. Suddenly, a large group of black spots appeared one after another, and the advantage was immediately apparent. As Yingge's mind was disturbed, the area of the black spots became larger and larger.
The bigger the crystal, the thinner the crystal shell. Taking this opportunity, Jiang Feng raised the big stick in his hand and struck it suddenly. Where the black spot was, there was a gap as big as his head.
"Throw the fallen chalcedony back and continue to widen the gap!" Jiang Feng asked his two apprentices to quickly help, but they did not dare to pause in their hands. Although it was damaged, the crystal shell recovered very quickly, but it was too fast.
Hua took this opportunity to swim out first.
"Right side up!" From a different angle, Taihua seemed to see the weakness of the crystal shell.
With everyone's combined efforts, the gap became wider and wider, and the restrictions on the control of spiritual power also weakened. Jiang Feng was able to use his spiritual power to increase the power of the "Sea Kunli Big Stick". Soon, everyone was able to escape smoothly. Jiang Feng
I casually hit a light screen talisman, and then I could see clearly the appearance of the crystal shell from another angle.
It is round, but not perfect. The surface is covered with black lines, which are not thick. This is why it is difficult to find inside. In the place where the black lines are densest, there is something like a grimace. It must be this.
The "head" of an object, from which a small amount of spiritual wisdom originates.
The crystal shell is still struggling to restore its original form. Due to the loss of dissolution, its volume is gradually shrinking. Although it is not known what the use of this object is, it must be quite dangerous. Jiang Feng has also given up the idea of taking it away and reusing it.
Thinking about it, looking around here, the position where everyone is standing is a ditch more than one foot wide. They stopped just now because there was a large fallen rock in this passage, blocking the path of the crystal shell, and above this place
, crystal shell barriers grow from both sides of the channel, and are tending to thicken.
Although he couldn't sense the aura of any monks around him, for safety reasons, Jiang Feng put everyone away, and then jumped to the vicinity of the crystal shell. His spiritual power turned into a ball, and he smashed the rocks blocking the crystal shell's progress.
Broken, the way back is blocked, and the front is unknown. This crystal shell left here is just the right way for him and his party to explore the way.
Taking advantage of the terrain, the crystal shell rolled again. Jiang Feng carefully followed it. About a quarter of an hour later, the crystal shell fell straight down. When Jiang Feng flew over, he saw that it had fallen into a groove embedded in an unknown rock.
Inside, the groove is slightly larger than the crystal shell. If you consider that you destroyed the crystal shell from the inside and caused it to shrink, then the groove should just be able to accommodate the crystal shell.
It can be seen from this that this arrangement should have been prepared in advance. The question is, who made this exquisite arrangement, and who is the owner of this place? I saw that the crystal stones near the groove lit up one by one.
, then dimmed again, and Jiang Feng knew that this arrangement had failed due to his own reasons.
Jiang Feng did not dare to take off those crystal stones rashly. Although they seemed to be valuable, he was worried that the nameless rock, like the entrance, had a special mechanism. Especially when he followed the direction of the rock and slowly went deeper.
As we were traveling slowly, we soon discovered that there was not just one groove, but dozens of them.
There are many, but there is no crystal shell inside, so I don’t know where it went.
Was it absorbed by this nameless red rock?
After walking forward for tens of feet, the rock finally reached the end and turned upward, extending to an unknown location. Under the bend of the rock, there was an octagonal pool that had dried up.
The pool is ten steps square and more than a foot deep. The four walls are vermilion, as if soaked in blood. At the bottom of it, in a pool of almost dry blood, is a strange-shaped magic circle engraved on it. When you get closer, you can see it.
, the warm and bloody breath hit my face.
It seemed that it had just been inspired. By sharing his vision with the shadow following closely, Jiang Feng discovered more details. For example, on the bends of the rock, there were obvious traces of blood dripping from time to time, and on the top of the magic circle, another one seemed to have been annihilated.
There are still some remnants of the magic circle.
Inadvertently, Jiang Feng got very close, and a dull sound suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Sacrifice your blood to me, and I will exchange it with you for your spiritual stones."
Huh? Is there a living thing here? At the same time as the sound came out, the nameless rock shook slightly. Jiang Feng immediately took a few steps back, only to see a slight bulge in the center of the rock, as if something was wriggling in it. After a moment,
Then a head the size of a millstone emerged from it.
The head had a short, not sharp horn, but it had no face. It was made of the same material as the crystal shell. As soon as it appeared, a disk the size of a bowl appeared in front of Jiang Feng, seemingly asking for help.
It wanted blood, and next to the faceless crystal beast, several spiritual stones of various colors loomed on the rock surface, seeming to tempt Jiang Feng to accept its deal.
Oh, in this cave full of resentful spirits, are there fellow black boy Yingge? Jiang Feng sneered in his heart. Naturally, he would not give his blood to the other party for the spirit stone. For a monk, the value of blood forms
With life, if it is the more precious heart essence and blood, once it is obtained by the enemy, it is more likely to be restricted by others, and even become the puppet of others. However, this does not mean that others will not accept the faceless crystal beast.
Conditions, as evidenced by the blood in the small pool.
The faceless crystal beast waited quietly for a long time. Seeing that Jiang Feng didn't make any move, it disappeared into the rocks together with the flying disk and the leaping spirit stone, and disappeared in an instant. This move was quite surprising.
Jiang Feng reminded him that he might be able to escape by escaping into this rock and going straight up. However, he immediately gave up this idea and had just fought with the crystal shell. There were only sixty rice-like "soft jade heart essences" left. If he encountered
As for the faceless crystal beast, I'm afraid it's going to be a disaster.
In addition, this faceless crystal beast also made Jiang Feng understand the whereabouts of those crystal shells before. If he could not escape, would he also become like this, or merge with this faceless crystal beast. Thinking about this
, for the faceless crystal beast that came to trade, in addition to being disgusted, I felt a lot of sympathy in my heart.
I don’t know who unfortunately got trapped here and became the core of this faceless crystal beast. However, it seems that its intelligence has been almost wiped out, and there is only a trace of the residual thought of trading with others. Even if there is a way to save it, it will only be one.
It's just a soulless existence.
Feeling regretful in his heart, Jiang Feng walked around and continued to move forward. The darkness immediately hid his figure, and the surroundings became lonely again. Only the pool of nearly dried blood occasionally stirred up ripples that were not fresh.
…………
It was actually a little hot inside the passage.
This is Ye Mo's feeling, which means that there may be veins of earth fire below here. Soon, this conjecture was confirmed.
In front of him were six wells of earth and fire, arranged in a zigzag pattern. Under the attention of everyone, he saw the president and opened the third well, the fifth well, the second well, the fourth well, and the first well in sequence.
Between the mouth and the sixth mouth, the fiery heat that filled this place suddenly became warm, and once you were in it, you no longer felt agitated from time to time.
At the same time, a stone gate in the distance also opened with a bang. What was different from before was that this time the "ghost guy" was ordered to stay behind, but Ye Mo was actually named and followed the president to investigate along with three other monks.
The president seemed to know something, this was Ye Mo's first feeling. But without the "ghost guy" to find the way, this responsibility fell on Ye Mo.
The road behind the stone gate was winding and narrow, but not long. Soon everyone arrived at a platform that was dozens of steps square. Ye Mo noticed that there seemed to be messy footprints under the dust here.
At this time, he was suddenly inspired. He saw a faceless head emerging from the rough screen wall in front of him, and a sentence sounded in his ears at the same time:
"Sacrifice your blood to me, and I will exchange it with you for your spiritual stones."
A jade plate that seemed to be made of crystal stone quickly flew to his side. Ye Mo subconsciously took a few steps back and carefully looked at the faceless crystal beast with short horns, and an idea suddenly occurred to him.
Is it possible that my father encountered this thing back then and started the family's rise? Sacrificing blood, is this why his father is always weak when he comes back?
"Boring, continue!"
He heard the president chuckle, and the doubts in his heart were suddenly washed away. Because he had a mission, Ye Mo didn't dare to think deeply about it, so he quickly moved on. After a while, the road came to an end.
No, it can't be a dead end. Otherwise, how did his father come here? Ye Mo shook his head secretly in his heart. Just as he was about to deny his idea, he saw the president taking two steps forward and reaching a slightly smooth stone wall.
In front of me, I took out a piece of yellow paper from my sleeve.
That was the only relic left by his father, the one he presented.
