Chapter seven hundred and eighty sixth the tomb of the beast
"Can't taking elixirs increase superpowers?" Zhou Sen disagreed. In his opinion, it was a matter of course.
"Halo, no, what I said is different from what you think. What you said is that people can increase their superpowers by taking elixirs, while I can make the effects of elixirs attach to objects. Remember the last time we communicated
That paper dragonfly?”
"Remember." Zhou Sen's heart felt inexplicably warm, and the feeling of looking forward to the letter was very good.
"Hehe, my super power can't drive that paper dragonfly." Shen Huimin's face showed a proud look.
"How did you do it?" Zhou Sen was shocked.
"I melted a kind of elixir with water, then soaked the paper dragonfly in the potion. After adding some elixir talisman craftsmanship, the superpowers can be gathered on the paper dragonfly without being scattered. Just a little bit of superpower can be used easily.
Control, it’s awesome!”
"Awesome!" Zhou Sen admired sincerely.
"Hmph, something even more powerful is yet to come. When the time comes, as long as anyone looks down on me, Shen Huimin, I will arrange thousands of paper dragonflies to attack him every day." Shen Huimin looked at Zhou Sen arrogantly.
"Haha, that must be awesome."
Zhou Sen smiled and didn't take it to heart. He remembered that the paper dragonfly couldn't even penetrate the window paper. It was really impossible to attack a person with super powers.
"You don't believe it, right? Well, when I'm done, I'll be the first to make you look good!" Shen Huimin said angrily when she saw Zhou Sen's disinterested expression.
"Auntie, please spare me. The window you stabbed with your sword almost froze me all winter."
"Ah...hahahahaha...why didn't I think of that?!" Shen Huimin laughed so hard that she burst into tears. She looked at Zhou Sen with a look of compassion and said, "You'd better seal that window, it's so big
It’s cold, oh, I feel uncomfortable just thinking about it..."
"No." Zhou Sen shook his head.
"Why not..."
Shen Huimin's voice stopped suddenly, a hint of shyness appeared on her face, she lowered her head and did not dare to look at Zhou Sen.
Under the light of the dreamlike energy stone, the lonely man and the widow seemed to be in a fairy tale world. The atmosphere suddenly changed. It became quiet, became tense, the blood flow speed became faster, and the heart beat faster...
Time passed little by little, and their breathing became more and more rapid.
Peng...
A muffled sound broke the silence of their world.
The two of them were shocked and turned pale. They followed the sound and saw a huge head emerging from the pool of water.
Moling Snow Leopard!
The wet head was close to the shore, and a Moling Snow Leopard slowly climbed up. It seemed very tired and almost struggled to climb ashore.
The two of them were shocked and stood up almost at the same time.
At this moment, the two people made an extremely ridiculous move. Zhou Sen stepped in front of Shen Huimin to protect Shen Huimin, while Shen Huimin subconsciously hid behind Zhou Sen.
This defensive action only lasted for a moment, and the two of them woke up at the same time. Obviously, Zhou Sen needs protection more now.
Shen Huimin held Zhou Sen's right hand with her left hand, and held the Ice Soul Divine Sword in her right hand to protect Zhou Sen, while Zhou Sen retreated half a body...
A strange scene appeared.
The Moling Snow Leopard climbed up from the water. He was exhausted, dripping with water, and was so depressed that he couldn't even shake the water off his fur.
The Moling Snow Leopard also discovered Zhou Sen and Shen Huimin. To their surprise, it did not attack immediately. Instead, it looked at Zhou Sen and Shen Huimin with a pair of dull eyes. Without the ferocity of the beast and its identity as Moling
The Snow Leopard's domineering spirit has the helplessness of a hero in his twilight years.
roar……
The Moling Snow Leopard suddenly let out a deep roar and raised its huge head like a proud king.
Zhou Sen and Shen Huimin glanced at each other. The roar of the Moling Snow Leopard did not make them feel threatened. Instead, they clearly felt that the Moling Snow Leopard seemed extremely tired, and even the roar had no strength.
Is it sick?
At this time, the two of them no longer had the initial panic.
This Moling Snow Leopard, let alone attacking them, was trembling when walking, and its body was already exhausted.
The Moling Snow Leopard took two steps toward the two of them, and seemed to realize that he no longer had the strength to launch an attack. He actually turned around and staggered towards a cave wall. After walking under the cave wall, the Moling Snow Leopard looked back again.
Looking at Zhou Sen and Shen Huimin, they lowered their heads and let out a helpless roar. Then, with all their strength, they jumped hard, and the huge body jumped onto a protruding rock wall that was not very high.
Behind the rock wall, the Moling Snow Leopard lay down and panted. Apparently, the jump just now had used up all the power in its body.
The cave suddenly became quiet.
The Moling snow leopard head lying on the rock wall stared at Zhou Sen and Shen Huimin without blinking. There was despair, helplessness, and unwillingness in his eyes.
"Zhou Sen, it's going to die." Shen Huimin felt a little sad. She had always wanted to hunt the Moling Snow Leopard, but when she witnessed a once majestic and dominant Moling Snow Leopard slowly losing its life in front of her,
She was sentimental and sad.
"You won't die for the time being, but we have to do something." Zhou Sen looked at the desperate eyes of the Moling Snow Leopard.
"What to do?" Shen Huimin was stunned.
"Yes, we discovered the cemetery of the Moling Snow Leopard. It thought this cemetery was no longer safe. When it was on the verge of death, it was in despair."
"It's going to die, so why despair?"
"Whether it is a person or an animal, they will have some thoughts when they are dying. The Moling Snow Leopard is a subspecies bred from the sacred leopard raised by Senior Shuimu. It is very spiritual in itself... Hey, maybe it can understand what we are saying.
"
"Do you understand what we are saying? No way!"
"I'll give it a try."
Zhou Sen took Shen Huimin's hand and walked under the rock of the Moling Snow Leopard, keeping a safe distance. Although the Moling Snow Leopard was exhausted, Zhou Sen still did not dare to risk close contact with the Moling Snow Leopard.
.
"Do you recognize this sword?"
Zhou Sen raised his head and looked at the Moling Snow Leopard. The Moling Snow Leopard was staring at the long sword in Shen Huimin's hand. It must have never seen the Ice Soul Sword, because its lifespan is only about seventy years old, and the water and wood superpowers are already dead.
It has been more than six hundred years, but the Moling Snow Leopards are descendants of the divine leopards. In their spiritual consciousness, they have a natural affinity for the Ice Soul Divine Sword. After all, this sword is the master of their ancestors.
The Moling Snow Leopard actually nodded.
"You are a spiritual and respectable Moling Snow Leopard. You must also know that a virtuous person will live in a thing without an owner! Although we are not considered virtuous, we can still be regarded as destined people. Don't worry, this Moling
We will not leak the Ling Snow Leopard’s cemetery, nor will we bother you again, we will leave it to the next person who is destined to do so!”
Mo Ling raised his huge head and let out a weak and low roar. He stared at Zhou Sen for a while, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes. Then, he slowly lowered his head, still looking in Zhou Sen's direction.
, gradually, the vision became dim...
"It's dead." Shen Huimin looked sad.
"Yes, it died, but it has no regrets."
"Are we really not here anymore?"
"Yes, we have harvested all the energy stones now. According to the number and lifespan of the Moling Snow Leopard, it will take a long time for each energy stone to appear. Therefore, there is no need for us to come. Perhaps, a few
In the next year, other people will discover this place, so let’s give them some surprises.”
"Zhou Sen, you are so kind-hearted."
"Haha, this is not a matter of heart. The energy stones of the Moling Snow Leopards take a long time to accumulate. If we kill the chicken to obtain the eggs, it will harm others and not benefit ourselves. If the Moling Snow Leopards know that the cemetery has been discovered, they may move away from Moling.
Then, Moling will lose this species forever, which is a huge loss to the nearby superpowers."
"Well, what about us energy stones?"
"Take it outside the cave and leave a quiet cemetery for the Moling Snow Leopard here. After all, this is also the tomb of the mythical beast. Unless it is uniquely blessed by nature, the mythical beast will not choose this place. Therefore, staying here can be regarded as a good deed."
"Zhou Sen, it's so strange. Why did the Moling Snow Leopard come out of the water?"
"It's very simple. The water pool in this cave may be connected to an underground river or a mountain stream. When the Moling snow leopards feel that they are about to die, they will dive into the cave through the underground river."
"I see……"
…
Zhou Sen and Shen Huimin took away all the energy stones. They did not touch the body of the Moling Snow Leopard. They already had enough energy stones, one more was not too much, and one less was not too much. Moreover, looking at the Moling Snow Leopard's
With their lives gone, the two of them simply couldn't muster the energy to dig out the energy stones.
After leaving the Snow Leopard Cemetery in Moling, the two worked together to restore the huge turquoise to its original state. Some traces of friction caused by prying it open were also carefully covered up bit by bit by Zhou Sen with plant ash. It was very meticulous. If you don't observe carefully,
, it is difficult to see the difference. Once time passes, those friction marks will slowly disappear.
Zhou Sen also chopped the crowbar into several pieces and threw them into the fire to be burned.
Finally, all the work was completed. The two of them sat by the fire and looked at the blazing flames. In front of them was a pile of energy stones. Under the light of the fire, the energy stones emitted bright colorful streams of light.
The stream of light keeps changing with the flickering flames, making people feel like they are in heaven.
"How to deal with these energy stones?" Shen Huimin asked.
"We will bury it at the entrance of the cave later. That place is at the foot of the mountain, so you can easily retrieve it later. Moreover, most treasure hunters will only habitually search inside the cave and ignore the cave entrance."
"Yeah." Shen Huimin nodded in agreement.
"Huimin, can't you absorb the natural energy of the energy stone?" Zhou Sen asked.
"No, you must reach the third level of primary superpower to absorb the energy of the energy stone. However, the energy stone is not only used for practice, but can also be used to make magic weapons, talismans and some interesting gadgets."
"Magical weapons also need energy stones?" Zhou Sen's heart moved. He thought of the Thousand Gods Craftsmanship. Obviously, the magic weapon in Shen Huimin's mouth was similar to the Thousands of Gods Craftsmanship.
"Of course, where do you think the magic weapon comes from with such great power? Some masters of weapon refining can concentrate the energy of energy stones. For example, refining a sword like the Ice Soul Sword consumes extremely high-quality energy stones, which is unimaginable.
Moreover, a master-level weapon refining expert is required to compress the energy of the energy stone into the sword body. Once that energy is stimulated, the Ice Soul Sword will explode with great power."
"According to what you said, after the energy of the Ice Soul Divine Sword is used up, wouldn't it be just a piece of scrap metal?" Zhou Sen asked doubtfully.
"Theoretically, this is true, but in reality, it will take at least hundreds of thousands of years, or even longer, to use up the energy on a sword, because the owners of such swords themselves have high magical powers. When they fight,
They all use the superpowers in their own bodies, and the sword is just a medium, so there is no need to worry about the energy of the divine sword running out. Of course, in theory, this ice soul sword will eventually turn into mortal iron one day, but
, I, Shen Huimin, can't see it anymore, and you don't want to see it either, hehe." Shen Huimin stroked the blade of the Ice Soul Sword and couldn't put it down. Now Shen Huimin is in a very good mood. Not only did she find countless energy stones, but she also kept them.
It's hard not to be happy with this divine sword.
"Is there an artifact that will never run out of energy?"
"Of course, the energy of many ancient immortal weapons and artifacts will never be used up, and as time goes by, or the owner's magic power increases, they will become more and more powerful."
"Why?" Zhou Sen guessed that the magic weapon absorbed the power of faith.
"I'm not very clear about this... I remember my dad mentioned it once, saying that some treasures from the prehistoric era have some restrictions with boundless power. Those restrictions are so powerful, they can not only allow the treasures to exert powerful effects that can destroy the world, but also destroy the world.
It has the power, and it can also absorb the power of nature. It is said that there is an ax that can split the sky."
"Split the sky!" Zhou Sen was shocked.
"Hehe, that's nothing. There is also a kind of bow and arrow that can shoot down the sun."
"Shoot down the sun...then...then...where are those treasures?" Zhou Sen suddenly felt a rush of blood, and immediately thought of some mythical stories on the ancient earth. Only after Zhou Sen came into contact with the God of Death and Nuwa,
He has determined that the characters and magic weapons in those mythical stories are often real.
"How do I know? Those are stories from countless to hundreds of thousands of years ago. Many treasures appeared at least a few thousand years ago."
"What a pity..." Zhou Sen looked regretful.
"It's a pity for your head. Stop dreaming. It would be nice to have a black gold dagger for you to use. Do you think those ancient immortal weapons are so easy to get! The treasure of many cultivating sects is the Gao
Ancient weapons are not much stronger than my Ice Soul Divine Sword. Occasionally, some sects have hidden ancient divine weapons, but they do not know how to use them. Instead, they are coveted by others. Over the past thousands of years, I don’t know how many cultivating sects have harbored ancient divine weapons.
, ended up killing everyone, sometimes, having a good weapon is not a good thing, but an Ice Soul Sword like mine is powerful and practical, and will not arouse the covetousness of others, how nice it is!" Shen Huimin pouted!
He blew on the edge of the Ice Soul Divine Sword with a proud look on his face.
"That's true." Zhou Sen nodded. He understood better than anyone else the principle of "pregnant with a jade is a crime."
"Zhou Sen, don't you get some energy stones?"
"Get some." Zhou Sen randomly selected some low-quality energy stones, about a dozen pieces, wrapped them in cloth, and put them in his small bag.
"Why did you take some low-level energy stones?" Shen Huimin was puzzled.
"It's useless for me to hold it. Besides, I don't want to be coveted and get killed. By the way, you must also be careful not to reveal your money to others. Don't let the news leak out. It's best not to tell your parents."
"Ah... there are so many energy stones. It would be difficult to explain them if I didn't tell them."
"Think about it, if you tell your parents, and your parents tell the people they trust, and the people they trust tell the people they trust, and spread the word from ten to ten, in the end, everyone will know about your Shen family.
There are hundreds of top-quality energy stones, what do you think will happen?"
"What will happen?"
"First of all, there will be many people who have friendship with your Shen family who will find various reasons to ask your parents for energy stones. Then, some people with evil intentions will pay attention secretly, and may even have the intention to snatch them.
Although your father is powerful, there are many people who are more powerful than him in the world of cultivators. Do you think he can protect more than 200 energy stones?"
"Can't..." Shen Huimin's head was filled with scenes of others coveting her energy stones, and a look of fear suddenly appeared on her face.
"Yes, your Shen family definitely can't protect so many energy stones, so it's best not to let the third person besides us know. As for your father who needs energy stones to practice, just give him a few energy stones.
That is, but don’t give too much, haste makes waste. If you can achieve enlightenment and become an immortal by relying on energy stones, it is estimated that the Han Empire already has as many gods as dogs. This shows that energy stones can only play a supporting role, and
You can't really make people achieve enlightenment and become immortals. You gave your father a lot of energy stones, but you harmed him." Zhou Sen slowly guided Shen Huimin. He had to convince Shen Huimin not to reveal the secret of the energy stones before he had a chance.
Share these energy stones with Shen Huimin.
"Hmm, then how do I explain it to my parents?" Shen Huimin looked distressed.
"There is no need to explain. Even if they ask, you can choose to refuse to answer. They must have guessed that it was the energy stone that I got with you. You just need to keep silent. Moreover, after you took out more than a dozen energy stones,
, it’s enough to shock them, they never dreamed that we still have hundreds of energy stones.”
"Haha, that's right! If these energy stones weren't in front of me, I wouldn't believe it myself." Shen Huimin picked up an energy stone and kept shining it under the firelight, shining the gorgeous light on Zhou Sen's face, giggling non-stop.
.
"Yes, I don't believe it either. By the way, Huimin, I need some cash. Banknotes are also acceptable. Help me exchange some cash."
"Well, there is heavy snow now and the roads are blocked. There is not much cash in circulation in Niejiaqiao. However, there are some large-denomination banknotes. When the time comes, I will find a way to get some banknotes and imperial coins for you."
"Okay, don't let others know."
"I know, this is a secret between us, I won't tell anyone." Shen Huimin smiled as brightly as a flower, with a charming and innocent look that made people's hearts beat.
"Yes, the secret between the two of us."
Zhou Sen's tense nerves slowly relaxed, and he secretly breathed a long sigh of relief. It seemed that Shen Huimin would not talk nonsense outside.
Convincing a woman to keep a secret is more difficult than going up the mountain of swords and the sea of fire.
Zhou Sen looked at Shen Huimin.
Shen Huimin looked at Zhou Sen.
In the middle is a pile of energy stones that emit colorful streams of light.
The cave suddenly became quiet, so quiet that you could hear their heartbeats and breathing.
"Zhou Sen, I'm so tired." Looking at it, Shen Huimin couldn't stand it anymore, her face turned red with embarrassment, and she lowered her head.
"There are still a few hours until dark. Let's bury the energy stone first. You can rest for a while."
"Um."
The two stood up, raised the torch and took the energy stones to the entrance of the cave. Zhou Sen used Shen Huimin's Ice Soul Divine Sword to dig holes and bury the energy stones in some hidden places. More than 200 energy stones were buried in twenty places. The burial location
It looked messy, but there were traces to follow. After Zhou Sen told Shen Huimin to find the method, Shen Huimin looked amazed.
According to this burial method, even if someone accidentally finds one of the places where the energy stones are buried, they will never be able to find another place.
After burying the energy stone, the two returned to the cave where the bonfire was burning.
The two sat side by side on a rock beside the fire, falling into endless silence.
"Zhou Sen, talk to me." Shen Huimin suddenly squatted in front of Zhou Sen, holding her face in her hands, tilting her head and looking at Zhou Sen.
"Don't you want to sleep?"
"I feel like I'm in a dream now." Shen Huimin smiled lightly and looked at Zhou Sen.
"Is it because of the energy stone?"
"Well, there are so many that I want to dig them out and check again to see if they are all a dream."
"Haha, it's not a dream. Look, it's real." Zhou Sen took out an energy stone from his baggage and placed it on a small stone in front of the fire. The energy stone gave off a fascinating dreamy light.
"It's true."
Shen Huimin also took out an energy stone and put it together with Zhou Sen's energy stone. The two energy stones reflected each other, and the entire cave was illuminated like a fairyland. Shen Huimin looked at the colorful light of the energy stone infatuatedly.
Time passed bit by bit, and Shen Huimin put away the energy stones from time to time, and took out the energy stones from time to time, repeatedly proving that she was not dreaming.
Zhou Sen could only play this boring game with Shen Huimin with a wry smile.
Of course, Zhou Sen is not boring. He likes Shen Huimin's simplicity and innocence very much. It is precisely because of Shen Huimin's simplicity and innocence that Zhou Sen can get along with Shen Huimin.
Shen Huimin doesn't have any opinions of her own. Her ideas are often childish and ridiculous, but more often they are whimsical. When she is focused, people will look at her, and when she is careless, people will scold her. Such a character makes Zhou Sen feel safe, at least.
, Shen Huimin will not threaten his survival.
Shen Huimin trusts Zhou Sen very much, which is why Zhou Sen is pleased.
In fact, Shen Huimin is also scheming and clever. She is also very greedy for money. She will even use Zhou Sen to test the elixir she refined. However, she is kind-hearted and has no government. Her scheming is obvious to everyone when she comes into contact with Shen Huimin.
Over time, she became a transparent person, and her inner thoughts could be judged from her expression. Her cleverness and scheming would only make people smile...
