Chapter 203 Helpless
"There are some weird things ahead. With the strength of the Qi Refining monks, we can't get through it. Let's go and have a look." As the colder became colder, several Qi Refining monks were even frozen. He was so stiff that he couldn't move, so he had to be carried down to save his life. Lu Jinrong knew that his idea of forcing the Qi Refining monks to clear the way was no longer tenable.
"That's fine. It's related to the family's revitalization plan, and we can't have an attitude of protecting our own safety." Several other foundation-building monks also nodded, shook off the team of Qi-refining monks, and continued to search.
In fact, after entering the nest of the Cold Midge Spider, I saw a lot of spider eggs, as well as some scattered ice spiritual stones and water spiritual stones, and there were also a lot of middle-grade spiritual stones. So even if it is colder, the threat of the spider swarm is now eliminated, and those who can bear it will continue to search nearby.
"I'll look in front again to see if there's anything I want." Lu Xiaotian said.
"Then be careful. If there is danger, retreat immediately." Lu Feng said worriedly. They also relied on the Yuan Yuan Pill provided by Lu Xiaotian to prepare for entering Hunyuan Daozang later. Besides, after entering the reef cave of Tongtian Lake, Lu Xiaotian's previous suggestion had already saved them once. Naturally, Lu Feng and the others did not want anything to happen to Lu Xiaotian.
"Don't worry, the foundation-building seniors have already passed by, and there won't be any powerful monsters coming out again. It's just a little colder. If I can't hold on, I will come back." Lu Xiaotian fought. Make a gesture and walk forward directly.
Lu Feng thought about it and realized that it was right. Several foundation-building monks had just passed here. If there was danger, they would not have noticed it. Lu Xiaotian took the fire elixir, which made him more resistant to the cold. There are people in this lair. There are many spiritual objects, and if there is no danger, it is naturally good to harvest more.
"High-quality ice spirit stone!" When Hu Xiaomin followed the other four foundation-building monks to the bottom of the spider nest, she discovered a small cold pool covering several acres not far away. There were more than a dozen high-grade ice spirit stones scattered around the cold pool, but they were horrified to find that even with their strength in the foundation-building stage, they could not get too close to the cold pool even with the fire element's spiritual shield. Collecting ice spirit stones is even more out of the question.
“Three feet tall green frost sunflower!”
"Water Magic Stone!"
Lu Jinrong, Hu Xiaomin, his brother Hu Bin, and two other middle-aged men from the Lu family all had ecstatic looks on their faces.
Of course, Lu Xiaotian, who also had a strange look in his eyes, was following behind. At this time, he used the breathing technique to suppress the breath on his body to the extreme. There were ten high-grade ice spirit stones on the edge of the cold pool. Seven yuan, this is also a windfall for a foundation-building monk, equivalent to 170,000 low-grade spiritual stones. And the three-foot-tall Green Frost Sunflower is probably thousands of years old and can be used to refine the Green Frost Nightshade Pill, which not only heals the physical body, but is even higher than the Soul-Nourishing Pill in healing the soul. . For foundation-building monks, taking this elixir has a certain chance of greatly improving their cultivation.
Even if it is a golden elixir monk, it is also a healing elixir. However, there are certain disadvantages. Although this pill has miraculous effects, it is mainly effective the first time it is taken. The effect is greatly reduced after taking it for the second time. Not even as good as some ordinary healing medicine.
Several other ice-type spiritual objects are also valuable, so it’s no wonder that a few people are a little out of sorts. Lu Xiaotian thought to himself. It's just that the fire dragon scale armor he wore instinctively had a good defensive effect against the cold. He could still feel the cold here from such a distance. According to Lu Feng's introduction, the middle-aged man Lu Jinrong who took the lead, and the Hu family Hu Bin is a monk in the middle stage of foundation building. Although his cultivation is higher than him, he may not be able to easily approach the edge of the cold pool and collect spiritual objects. Moreover, this cold pool is probably not that simple. Lu Xiaotian’s eyes flickered. The cold midge spider naturally likes the cold and chose this place as its nest. Along the way, there were many spider eggs scattered everywhere, but only one near the cold pool. No spider eggs can be seen, and there are no traces of the activity of the cold midge spider. Those high-level cold midge spiders are also extremely powerful. The only explanation is that there are more difficult monsters in the cold pool, which prevent the cold midge spiders from getting too close.
While Lu Xiaotian was secretly speculating in his mind, Lu Jinrong began to use his magic power to withstand the severe cold and approached the three-foot-tall blue frost sunflower, when a sudden change occurred. A faint shadow, difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, jumped up from the cold pool. Lu Jinrong was shocked and slashed out at the phantom with his sword. The phantom just flickered and then disappeared, followed by several low screams that seemed to pierce the void.
"Brother, get back!" The two monks from the Lu family behind shouted. Before they even had time to rescue, Lu Jinrong had already screamed and fell down.
Lu Xiaotian, who was watching the battle from a distance, was also shocked. A monk in the middle stage of foundation building died here in a blink of an eye.
"Brother!" The two middle-aged monks from the Lu family screamed, each using their magical weapons to slash at several phantoms. The Hu family brothers and sisters also came to help, but the phantoms were extremely fast. Several people's magic weapons were smashed several times.
"Ice Bee Scorpion!"
When the phantom stood still for a moment in the air, Lu Xiaotian was shocked. No wonder he hadn't noticed that Lu Jinrong was so dead just now. At this time, the fist-sized ice bee floating in the air with its wings fluttering was holding One foot long looks like a scorpion tail. A sharp needle at the tail is crystal clear. The strength of these three ice bees is not too strong, even lower than Lu Jinrong, but at the edge of the cold pool, Lu Jinrong has to use most of his mana to resist the cold air entering his body. The strength that can be exerted is limited, but the Ice Bee Scorpion acts well in this environment. Lu Xiaotian secretly thought that if he went alone, the result might not be much better.
The three ice bee scorpions are extremely fast, and the ice needles on their long tails are even more effective in breaking the protective shield. "Sister!" Hu Bin shouted sharply and slashed at the Ice Bee Scorpion with a knife, but the Ice Bee Scorpion actually stopped on Hu Xiaomin's neck. Hu Bin's knife couldn't help but slow down a bit, but unfortunately the Ice Bee Scorpion's tail had already struck hard. It stung Hu Xiaomin in the stomach. In an instant, Hu Xiaomin's head was covered with a thick layer of ice crystals. The whole person fell to the ground helplessly.
The Ice Bee Scorpions are too fast. If they have to concentrate on resisting the cold air and use the magic weapon at a speed, they cannot hit the Ice Bee Scorpions at all. Their speed is far inferior to the Ice Bees. Scorpion, even if you want to escape, it is not easy.
“My leg!” A monk from the Lu family screamed, his speed suddenly slowed down, and then he was stung by another ice bee scorpion. It didn't take long for his body to stiffen and he died.
escape! At this time, Hu Bin and the only remaining Lu family monk were frightened and had no intention of staying to collect the treasure. The only thought was to escape from this hellish place as soon as possible. But the three ice bee scorpions would not let these intruders leave. Hu Bin and the Lu family monks were in tandem. Seeing that they were about to be overtaken by each other, Hu Bin suddenly hit the Lu family monks on the chest with a backhand. The Lu family monks stumbled back in pain. His face was furious, but his anger did not last long before he was stung by an ice bee scorpion and fell to the ground.
It is quite insidious, Lu Xiaotian sneered, even the monks from the allied families will make the choice that is most beneficial to themselves when life and death are at stake, even if the cost is the lives of others. These ice bees and scorpions are not suitable to be fought against. The opponent is not only frightened by their speed, but also the terrifying cold poison that those few ice needles may contain. Otherwise, the several foundation-building monks who were hit by the needles would not be able to survive in such a short time. People died one after another. Of the five foundation-building monks, only Hu Bin has escaped, but he may not be able to escape safely. If Hu Bin is allowed to escape, the news about Qing Shuangkui will soon spread. ?
Lu Xiaotian was hesitating when to take action. Hu Bin, who had already escaped, also saw him. At this critical moment, Hu Bin did not have time to think about what a monk like Lu Xiaotian would do in the Qi refining period. Being able to go deep into such a cold place and being chased by several ice bees, he had no time to think about it. He just sneered and reached out to grab Lu Xiaotian in the air, intending to throw Lu Xiaotian to the following ice bees. scorpion. Although the Ice Bee Scorpion was faster, there were enough Qi Refining monks behind to act as shields. Hu Bin felt that there was still a glimmer of hope for escaping.
Lu Xiaotian's body was sucked up by him as expected, but soon, a terrifying aura soaring into the sky made Hu Bin's eyes widen.
A fiery red and crystal long sword stretched out from Lu Xiaotian's hand. Its power far exceeded that of ordinary magical weapons. Even in the hands of the master, Hu Bin had never seen such an amazing magical weapon.
"Alchemy weapon!" Hu Bin said with difficulty, and the Blazing Fire Sword had turned into a streak of fire and passed through his throat. He never expected that the young man in front of him who looked like just a Qi Refining monk would actually be a Foundation Establishment monk, and he actually had an alchemy weapon in his hand. There were more than thirty foundation-building monks from the three families in total. He knew them all, so how could he have expected that a casual cultivator would sneak in. What is the other party’s purpose? With a lot of questions, Hu Bin's consciousness was blurred. The fire power of the Blazing Fire Sword burned away his soul, and his consciousness fell into eternal darkness.
Lu Xiaotian didn’t hesitate at all and threw Hu Bin’s body towards the oncoming ice bee scorpions. Although he has fire dragon scale armor on his body, his defense is far inferior to that of the dead Lu Jinrong and other foundation-building monks, but there are areas that the fire dark scale armor cannot protect. He does not want to use his body to test the protection of a few ice bees and scorpions. sharp. After throwing Hu Bin's body out, he retreated violently.
The several ice bee scorpions naturally had no interest in Hu Bin's body, and they avoided it in a flash. Regarding Lu Xiaotian, who also escaped, the several ice bee scorpions with high intelligence were slightly hesitant. They could feel the aura of a large number of human monks farther away, and they were killing them endlessly. The red long sword in this man's hand just now posed an unprecedented threat to them, with its scorching heat and sharpness that could cut everything apart. Let Ice Bee Scorpion have an instinctive resistance. After circling for a while, several ice bees and scorpions withdrew to the cold pool.
However, although the Ice Bee Scorpion withdrew, Lu Xiaotian was not willing to give up the idea just like that. He was interested in the seventeen high-grade ice spirit stones on the edge of the cold pool, as well as the green frost sunflower, five The Foundation Establishment Monk is very interested in the storage bag. A horse will not be fat without nightfall, and a man will not be rich without windfall. The elixirs he needs to pay to improve his cultivation are several times higher than those of ordinary monks, and the spiritual herbs used to refine these elixirs must be ripened with spiritual stones. Although there is no shortage of spiritual stones at the moment, it is natural to accumulate more if circumstances permit.
But the ice bees and scorpions in the cold pool were extremely troublesome. He went there alone. Even though he had the Blazing Fire Sword in his hand, he didn't have much chance of winning. These ice bees and scorpions were too Weird. After a while, Lu Xiaotian's eyes lit up, he released the centipede puppet, and then let the centipede puppet bite the 2,000-year-old piece of cold iron wood with its mouth. The two rows of centipede feet moved quickly, first killing the nearest one killed by Lu Xiaotian. The monk's storage bag was captured.
Then Lu Xiaotian controlled it to quickly come to the edge of the cold pool. The centipede puppet approached the cold pool, and the three ice bees and scorpions rushed out again angrily. Although the Centipede Puppet's speed is not slow, it is much slower than the Ice Bee Scorpions. Soon, the Centipede Puppet was stung several times by three Ice Bee Scorpions, and two Ice Bee Scorpions even stopped at the Centipede Puppet. A sharp sting on his back.
Lu Xiaotian, who used his deputy soul to control the centipede puppet, smiled. The scary thing about this ice bee scorpion, apart from its terrifying speed, is that the needle on the scorpion tail can break the monk's body protection. Spirit shields, and most of the body-protecting magic weapons. As long as a human monk is stung by it, he will be infected by the cold poison above. All his magic power and blood will stop running, and he will die in a very short time. This is how Lu Jinrong and several foundation-building monks died before. Even if Lu Xiaotian was wearing fire dragon scale armor, he would not dare to approach easily, because his head was not within the protection range of the scale armor, and he would not be saved if he was stung. But the centipede puppet is different. This puppet is not made of flesh and blood. Even if it is stung, it will not be infected by the cold poison of the ice bee and scorpion tail needle. Even if it suffers some damage, it will not be as deadly as a human monk. The centipede puppet is a high-grade spiritual stone. As long as the high-grade spiritual stone is not consumed, or the important areas of the head are not damaged, a few stings in other places will not be fatal at all.
The Ice Bee Scorpions have extremely high intelligence. Two of them stopped on the backs of the Centipede Puppet. One of them has already started to attack the Centipede Puppet’s head. However, the Ice Bee Scorpions’ attack power is not very powerful. It can produce devastating explosions and other effects, and it is not known for its strength. It's just that the tail needle is unusually domineering. Lu Xiaotian calmly controlled the Centipede Puppet to block the vital part of its head with a piece of two thousand year old cold iron wood that even a Golden elixir monk would be hard-pressed to destroy. After being stung several times by the ice bee scorpions, they found that the piece of cold iron wood was not affected at all. Several ice bee scorpions circled around the centipede puppet in annoyance, somewhat like a dog biting a hedgehog but unable to bite it.
Lu Xiaotian smiled, and the Centipede Puppet swaggered proudly to the seventeen rare high-grade ice spirit stones on the edge of the cold pool, as well as the three-foot-tall blue frost sunflower, and some other valuable ice stones. The spirit-binding grass and the storage bags of the four monks were all looted before wandering back.
The three ice bees and scorpions chased for a short distance, and after finding that there was nothing they could do about the centipede puppet, they could only fly back to the cold pool very anxiously.
It was really a profit. Lu Xiaotian sent all these gains into the barrier, and he felt a little happy.
