Chapter 55 The mantis stalks the cicada
The fire-spotted toad is a second-level monster in the early stage. Its cultivation level is comparable to that of a great monk in the early stage of human race's foundation building.
What people didn't expect was that it could actually transform into a spiritual elixir and use it as bait to lure human monks. It was really insidious!
Ning Daoran's heartbeat quickened. This fire-spotted toad had a second-level fire-attribute demon core. It was the treasure that he had been unable to obtain a few years ago.
Since we met today, let’s take revenge on the three fellow Taoists from Ziyun Sect!
By the way, I took the materials from the Fire-spotted Toad.
……
He escaped among a morning glory vine, let go of his spiritual consciousness and scanned the area within a hundred feet, confirming that except for himself and the fire-spotted toad, there was no other life breath.
Take action!
The breath-containing technique, invisibility technique, and sound-absorbing technique at the return-to-nature level were in full swing. He fired the techniques one after another, and quickly and quietly escaped along the surrounding trees and vines.
Not long after, Ning Daoran was less than ten feet away from the fire-spotted toad, but the other party didn't notice him at all.
“Hiccup~~~”
The fire-spotted toad had just devoured the flesh and blood of so many human monks. He burped, narrowed his eyes, and his body slowly became smaller, turning into a Tianluo grass swaying in the wind again.
Ning Daoran took out a big green dragon from his storage bag and stared straight ahead. Although what he saw in his eyes was Tianluo grass, the figure and position of the Fire-spotted Toad were clearly visible when he glanced at it with his spiritual consciousness. !
The five fingers of his left hand moved slightly, and suddenly a strand of blood-colored thread trembled violently.
Amidst the sharp and suppressed sound, a piece of broken porcelain went straight to the head of the fire-spotted toad from the front!
"Gugua!"
The fire-spotted toad screamed and retreated involuntarily.
However, at this moment, Ning Daoran fell silently from the wind like a fallen leaf, heading straight for the back of the fire-spotted toad's head!
The tip of the Green Dragon Spear in his hand was wrapped with a wisp of the silver dragon's afterimage, and it struck the Fire-spotted Toad's Tianling Cap with tens of thousands of kilograms of force!
Secret Technique·Silver Dragon Gets Water!
"Peng!"
With a loud noise, the protective aura condensed with evil energy above the Fire-spotted Toad's head instantly shattered. The powerful force of the Azure Dragon Spear shattered the skull in an instant, opening a skylight above the Fire-spotted Toad's head.
"Gu..."
The fire-spotted toad let out a hoarse scream, but it did not spread too far. It was all suppressed and wiped out by the sound-absorbing technique of the Return to Nature level.
Ning Daoran's body was in the air, he aimed at the blood hole on the top of the fire-spotted toad's head, raised his left hand, and shot out a fiery red sword finger with a "chi"!
The Samadhi True Fire, which is based on the eleventh layer of Evergreen Technique, is so terrifying. It penetrated the body of the Fire-spotted Toad in just one stroke, and the sword energy created a large hole from the top of the head to the chin.
"Puff puff puff!"
Raising his hand, six more shadowless needles flew out, piercing all the important veins where the fire-spotted toad's demonic energy circulated, and then added another shot!
The fire-spotted toad immediately lost all breath and was killed directly.
Ning Daoran's movements were smooth and smooth. He first raised his hand and sucked a second-order fire attribute demon core into his hand, and then put the entire body of the fire-spotted toad into the storage bag.
A second-level monster is full of treasures. Take it back and break it down in detail.
"Whoosh!"
The moment the gathering was completed, Ning Daoran fired a magic spell, and his body immediately sank into the ground, leaving this place with the Earth Escape Technique.
……
Two hours later.
Ning Daoran slowly moved forward along a dark mountain range, hiding from the beginning to the end to avoid being discovered by other monks.
Soon after, a strong medicinal fragrance came from near a vigorous and ancient pine tree.
"Huh?"
Ning Daoran frowned and found a purple-red ginseng hidden under some fiery red maple leaves.
Suddenly, his mind went blank. It turned out to be purple blood ginseng. It was exactly the same as what was recorded in the prophecy distributed by the sect. It was purple blood ginseng, one of the three main medicines of the Foundation Establishment Pill!
Moreover, this is a purple blood ginseng that is at least five hundred years old.
Purple blood ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, and Ningxin grass. These three elixirs can be used as foundation-building pills as long as they are one hundred years old. Purple blood ginseng that has been used for five hundred years has a chance of refining top-grade or even fine-quality foundation-building pills. It will be greatly improved!
Ning Daoran unexpectedly encountered the main ingredient of the Foundation Establishment Pill so quickly.
He was a little agitated, his heartbeat was racing, and his breathing became difficult.
No, it always feels like it shouldn't be so easy.
He frowned, still hiding in a dead vine about fifty meters away from the purple blood ginseng, spreading his consciousness, and using his consciousness to explore the nearby disturbances.
After a few breaths, I found a breath under a rotten leaf.
He is a monk with perfect Qi refining. He uses some kind of breath-condensing method to lie dormant here motionless, like a hunter waiting for his prey, very patient.
If Ning Daoran hadn't possessed spiritual consciousness in advance, he might not have been able to detect the existence of this person at all.
"So insidious..."
Ning Daoran only felt a chill running down his spine and was extremely scared. Fortunately, he had restrained himself from getting too excited just now.
At this moment, a voice came from afar.
"Sister, this is it..."
A female cultivator in a plain skirt came over holding a jade slip-shaped magic weapon. The moment her eyes fell on the purple blood ginseng, she was filled with surprise: "Look, it's purple blood ginseng and the three main medicines of the foundation building pill." One!”
"Junior sister, be careful."
Her senior sister is slightly older and is a young woman who has perfected her Qi refining skills.
"Yeah."
The junior sister raised one hand, and suddenly a wisp of fiery red sword floated over Xiang's shoulder, the tip of the sword pointed at the surroundings warily.
The senior sister took out an amulet from her sleeve and stared forward with a pair of red and phoenix eyes.
"Junior sister, be careful. Dig out the whole purple blood ginseng. Don't touch the rhizome. It will damage the medicinal properties."
"I know, senior sister."
At this moment, a bloody ray of light suddenly passed through the rotten fallen leaves, and then the junior sister's heart was pierced, a cloud of blood spilled from her back, and she died tragically on the spot.
"Junior sister!"
The senior sister was shocked and hurriedly burned the talisman, and suddenly a yellow spiritual light enveloped her body.
But the second bloody ray of light passed by again, and penetrated the senior sister's throat with a "puff". The force was so strong that it even lifted her body into the air, like a broken leaf. "..."
Ning Daoran said nothing and watched helplessly as the two senior sisters fell.
There is no other way. It is better to ignore this kind of thing, not to mention now is not the best time to take action.
The man hiding in the dark, his blood-colored flying arrow weapon is very powerful. It can even penetrate the body-protecting aura of a first-level mid-grade talisman. If he takes action, it is best to find an opportunity to kill him with one strike. .
……
After the two sisters from Xingyue Pavilion died tragically, the man didn't come out to touch the bodies.
He was still hiding under the fallen leaves, motionless.
Ning Daoran frowned. With such good patience, this person is really troublesome!
After a while, footsteps were heard again in the distance.
This time it was a man wearing the uniform of a Ziyun Sect disciple. He looked like a middle-aged man and was at the ninth level of Qi refining. He was extremely cautious.
"Huh?"
After he smelled the smell of blood, he quickly lay down, and then used some kind of breath-condensing method. The breath quickly became weak, and then he cast a spell, and his body actually began to blend with the color of the surrounding terrain.
He actually practiced the art of invisibility to a small degree!
Ning Daoran shuddered slightly and sighed in his heart: I am not alone...
The man moved forward slowly, taking dozens of breaths before moving a step. He first came to the bodies of the two female cultivators in Xingyue Pavilion and touched the bodies first.
The look he looked at his senior sister was a little hot, and then he looked at the purple blood ginseng, and his eyes became even hotter.
He moved forward slowly and silently, trying his best to blend in with the heaven and earth.
But there is nowhere to hide from the prying eyes of hunters.
"Whoosh!"
A streak of blood burst through the sky!
"Who?!"
The male disciple of Ziyun Sect was shocked and hurriedly stood up to resist, but it was already too late.
A cluster of blood-colored arrows shot from his forehead and penetrated the entire skull, splattering a cloud of plasma on the ground behind him.
In the grass, the perfect master of Qi refining still did not show his head.
If Ning Daoran is not in a hurry, then he won't show his face. It depends on who can outlast the other.
Another moment passed.
There were footsteps in the distance, and the figures of two Steel Gate Sect disciples appeared.
They are a pair of brothers who are at the ninth level of Qi refining.
"Purple blood ginseng!"
The senior brother recognized the old ginseng plant under the tree at a glance!
"Senior brother, be careful, someone has been killed, and there are probably guardian monsters nearby."
"That's right!"
The senior brother frowned: "You don't need the purple blood ginseng, but those people's storage bags... Junior brother, maybe we can just take the storage bags without provoking the guardian beast."
As he said that, the senior brother took out a magic weapon rope from the storage bag, threw the rope far away, and then took out a jade flute, and he started to play the flute.
Amidst the sound of the jade flute, the rope raised its head like a snake, and its body snaked away. In the blink of an eye, it took out all three storage bags from the male disciple of Ziyun Sect, and then returned directly to its owner.
"Got it!"
The senior brother took the storage bag and put the rope and jade flute into his arms.
"Junior brother, run away!"
The two of them turned into afterimages and flew away in the wind.
……
‘Fuck...’
Ning Daoran was dumbfounded. As expected of a member of the Gangmen Sect, he was so disrespectful of martial ethics?
"嘁......"
Among the fallen leaves, the figure seemed unable to bear it. He suddenly stood up and shook off the leaves on his body. He looked like a sinister young man, wearing the uniform of a true disciple of the Soul-Eating Cult.
It's not surprising that he is a demonic person.
"Don't fall into my hands, you bastards of the Steel Gate Sect, or your bones will be wiped out!"
He spat, seemed to be tired of playing, and walked straight towards the purple blood ginseng.
"Poof!"
Unexpectedly, he had just taken three steps when his body suddenly swayed, a bloody thread flashed across his neck, and his entire head immediately rolled down from his body.
The mantis stalks the cicada, followed by the oriole.
From beginning to end, this person thought he was strategizing and had everything under control, but he did not discover Ning Daoran's existence at all.
It took a long time to wait for a stick of incense.
After confirming that there were no other oriole, Ning Daoran ran away directly. He reached out one hand to touch the corpse skillfully, and took out the storage bag and magic weapon of the soul-eating sect's Qi Refining Consummation disciple, as well as the purple blood plant. All the ginseng was included in the bag.
Then he fled away and left this ominous place.
There was a set of blood-colored sleeve arrows in his hand, which were the treasures of the disciples of the Soul-Eating Sect just now. They are the first-class magic weapons. They are at the same level as the shadowless needles and broken porcelain shards. They can kill people invisible and are a good thing.
So underground, Ning Daoran immediately refined this set of sleeve arrows and quickly transformed them into his own combat power.
In order to rank in the new book list, today’s two updates will be postponed to the early morning, and tomorrow’s will be restored to the original time.
This new book doesn’t understand the rules, it loses blood, and it makes me cry when I talk about it.
