Chapter 240: Branching out
In the final analysis, the strength of the lion crocodile demon is too far compared to Lu Xiaotian. After the bone claws were blocked by the native puppet, the Blazing Fire Sword carried the aura of destruction and cut off the lion crocodile. Demon Tail, Lu Xiaotian stretched out his hand and sucked the gray box containing the Seven Nights Ancient Flower into his hand. He could feel a strong suction force on the box, coming from the black mirror, but Lu Xiaotian sneered, and the gray box flashed away and entered the storage bag, completely cutting off the gray box and the black mirror. mysterious connection.
On the other side of the black mirror, he was dressed in green armor and a long green cloak. In the deep-set eyes of his skeletal head, the green-armored skeleton with purple fire flickering was extremely angry. The tall hills turned into powder. But it wasn't enough to unleash his fury. Although the boy in front of him was surprised by how quickly his strength improved every time they met, he was still pitifully weak compared to him. But it was the weak human in front of him who always ruined his good deeds. This Seven Nights Ancient Flower was different from the ordinary ones and was also of great use to him. He discovered it by chance and arranged for the lion crocodile demon to be killed. , green leopard, three skulls As a backup, he can absorb part of the power of the Seven Nights Ancient Flower, and his strength is far more powerful than the five monks at the peak of Foundation Establishment. But who would have thought that the six Foundation Establishment monks who arrived here, although their cultivation level is not high, All three of them actually have Alchemy Magical Artifacts. Could it be that among the human race, something as precious as the Alchemy Magical Artifact has begun to become widespread? Since the channel was not stable enough, at most it could only transmit a very small part of his power, and could not be transmitted to the other side. The green-armored skeleton had no ability, and watched helplessly as what he wanted fell into the opponent's hands. However, there was no chance at all at this time. The smoke from the skull had already touched Lu Xiaotian's sleep watch. At such a close range, it was impossible to defend against it. As long as the skull kills the annoying Lu Xiaotian and the difficult thunder monk is injured again, there is still a chance to deal with these guys in front of him.
“What?” Soon, the green-armored skeleton in the black mirror lost its color. The smoke from the skull had clearly invaded Lu Xiaotian’s body surface, but Lu Xiaotian’s body was faintly emitting a burst of red. With a golden light, the red scales loomed under the clothes, blocking the smoke from the outside.
The skull is greedy for the extremely powerful flesh and blood in Lu Xiaotian's body, but he is also extremely anxious. The opponent's defense is too strong and he cannot get in at all.
Lu Xiaotian was not sure about this change, but he attributed it to the defensive power of Taihao's battle body. It seems that the defense of Taihao's battle body is not only those magic weapons and swords, but also has such a miraculous effect on attacks from ghosts.
At this time, Su Qing recovered with the help of Luo Qian and expelled the gray mist that invaded her body. She and Luo Qian saw the gray mist forced back by Lu Xiaotian at the same time. They were shocked, but they could not After discovering the abnormality on Lu Xiaotian, it was natural that there was no way to know the powerful relationship between it.
The smoke that the skull turned into could not help him. Lu Xiaotian was overjoyed and had no scruples at the same time. He activated the power of the Blazing Fire Sword to the extreme. The raging flames were the fire of the Sun inspired by magic power. It also has a certain restraint effect on evil ghosts, and it is inspired by the Danyuan magic weapon. The smoke skull that was burned by the flames of the Blazing Fire Sword also screamed in pain, and the gray fog became much thinner in the blink of an eye.
The Gray Mist Skeleton seems to be less ferocious than before. Is it because the Seven Nights Ancient Flower was put away? Lu Xiaotian had some guesses in his mind. This made sense. Although the ghost clan was more difficult to deal with and was far more powerful than ordinary monks of the same level, it was still unreasonable to be able to easily crush them who were holding alchemy magic weapons.
“These damn skeletons have become weak!” Soon, Su Qing and Luo Qian, who were also very experienced in combat, noticed the change before them. They cheered up and besieged these skeletons with Lu Xiaotian. Since they had already Turned into a virtual body, and Qiye Ming disappeared. Gu Hua, three guys holding alchemy weapons, plus Luo Qian's power of thunder and lightning, not long after Luo Qian used a thunder gun to kill a gray fog skull, Lu Xiaotian also used Blazing Flame Lift The fire sword killed one, and the remaining one was also strangled by Su Qing's fish-scale golden whip.
A bizarre encounter resulted in the loss of two people. Except for Lu Xiaotian who got the Qiye Minggu Flower, the others fought fiercely and all suffered certain losses.
After the black mirror disappeared and several skeletal heads were killed, the sinister aura around them disappeared completely in the blink of an eye. Everyone was surprised. Where the black mirror disappeared, a bright light appeared faintly. When they got closer, they saw that the crack actually led to a rather vast world and connected to another place. Before, everyone thought this place was a deserted land. After the black mirror disappeared, this place was revealed, and there was even more rich spiritual energy.
"Let's go and see what kind of place this is." Su Qing's eyes flashed, and before anyone could reply, she took a few steps and passed through the narrow passage in the crack.
Hu Ruining looked at Lu Xiaotian and Luo Qian with inquiring eyes. Lu Xiaotian just pretended not to see them, curled his mouth slightly, and followed closely.
Through the crack, the world suddenly opened up, and the sky was clear and clear. Blue sky, white clouds, green grass.
"Don't forget that we still have the task of patrolling the foreign monks near Xuanye City. It has taken a long time along the way. We are almost at Xuanye City now. Should we go to the city to report first?" Hu Ruining suggested road.
"What are you reporting? The palace gate only told you that you are coming to Xuanye City. We will be able to kill a few more heads of foreign monks when the time comes, and that will be enough. How can we finally get to this mysterious place?" Return empty-handed." Su Qing curled her lips.
"But?"
"There's nothing good to say. It's up to you whether to go or not. I'm not going anyway."
As Su Qing looked at Luo Qian He and Lu Xiaotian saw the two of them nodding slightly and smiling happily. Compared with outsiders, the support of the two of them is enough.
"Okay, then follow the instructions of Senior Sister Su and the two senior brothers." Hu Ruining said helplessly.
Although Lu Xiaotian was following Su Qing, he secretly noticed that Su Qing had a look of surprise on her face after seeing the scene in front of her. Thinking of what Su Hongtao said before leaving Lingxiao Palace, Lu Xiaotian felt Move, right? Lu Xiaotian was not sure of his guess, but it was useless to think too much. Originally, he came with Su Qing this time, so he made up his mind to follow her. If what he expected was true, Su Qing should have discovered clues related to the Ningjin Fruit. Thinking of the Ningjin Fruit, Lu Xiaotian felt excited for no reason. It seems that this time he saw through the mistake and even though he fought a few skulls, it was not without gains.
A few people flew through the air for a while, and occasionally they could see wild beasts running on the ground, or several low-level spiritual beasts. With their current strength, they were ordinary fourth-level monsters. Beast, probably won't arouse much interest. It's just that this place is a bit weird. I walked around for a few days and saw a lot of mountains and rivers. There were also some low-level spiritual objects, but I didn't find anything too valuable.
As a result, Xia Ruining became a little impatient at first, and said in a deep voice, "I am not going out this time to enjoy the mountains and rivers. I want to go to Xuanye City first to meet up with other brothers in the Immortal Palace. If If you guys want to go back later, please forgive me for not accompanying you. "There's so much nonsense. If you want to go, just leave. Who would want to keep you?"
Su Qing crossed her arms and was too lazy to pay attention to Xia Ruining. It was Luo Qian who spoke. Ruining finally looked at Lu Xiaotian and found that Lu Xiaotian was looking at him with amusement, as if waiting to see his joke. For Lu Xiaotian, Ye , as long as you follow Su Qing, it doesn't matter whether you really go to Xuanye City. It turned out that among these people, he was already an isolated one. Care about Ruining couldn't help but feel a little angry, turned around and flew away with a livid face without saying a word.
"I knew you two would support me." Seeing Xia Ruining walking away in anger, Su Qing smiled happily.
“Let’s not talk about this anymore. Now that the idlers have left, there is no need to take us around in circles later.” Lu Xiaotian looked at Su Qing with a questioning look.
"How did you see it?" Not only Luo Qian had a trace of doubt on his face, but Su Qing herself was even more surprised. She originally thought she had done a good enough job, but she didn't expect Lu Xiaotian to have seen it long ago. .
“I’m confused, I didn’t expect such a thing to happen.” Lu Xiaotian shrugged.
"You are so cunning." Su Qing did not expect that Lu Xiaotian was actually lying to her, but there was no anger on her face, but a hint of appreciation on her face. What Lu Xiaotian admired in her was not his superior combat prowess, but his unique temperament of wisdom and calmness, which was truly fascinating. Among those who relied on their handsome appearance, there were many immortal cultivators such as Yushu. Linfeng is a handsome and unrestrained person, but she has seen too many people other than gold and jade. Su Qing has a deep-seated dislike for those who rely on their appearance and want to get close to her.
"It was inconvenient to tell you before because there were outsiders present. Now I am dead and can go. I will not hide it from you two. This trip is for the Ningjin Fruit. But to find the Ningjin Fruit After that, I will take priority. If there are more than three, the more will belong to me. You two will give me your full help. Is there any problem?" Su Qing stared at the two of them.
"I will do whatever my junior sister says." After Luo Qian heard the news about the Ningjin Fruit, he was surprised at first, and then said matter-of-factly.
“No problem.” Lu Xiaotian secretly said that as expected, Su Qing was frank with the two of them about such an important matter, obviously she also had absolute trust in the two of them.
"That's good, let's go." Su Qing breathed a sigh of relief and smiled happily. She knew Luo Qian's thoughts clearly. He seemed arrogant, but he was also loyal and upright. Not a person with bad intentions. She has nothing to say to her. On the contrary, Lu Xiaotian, who is ordinary and low-key in the eyes of most people, has more ideas. But for Lu Xiaotian's population, Su Qing can trust her. As long as Lu Xiaotian agrees, she will never regret it. If it was an ordinary trivial matter, Su Qing naturally did not need such a solemn guarantee from the two of them. It was just about the Ningjin Fruit. Grandpa Su Hongtao had repeatedly confessed it, and Su Qing also laid an ambush first.
After Xia Ruining left, the atmosphere between the three of them became much more harmonious. Although Luo Qian was still somewhat resistant to Lu Xiaotian, this was considered an internal conflict. Once they encountered foreign enemies, the three of them had the experience of fighting side by side many times, and they were from the same sect, so the relationship was natural. It is also extremely reliable. Moreover, the cultivation level of the three of them is already quite high. Each of them has a Danyuan magic weapon. Even an ordinary ninth-level foundation-building monk is far from their opponent. Su Qing and Luo Qian even know that Lu Xiaotian also has a six-level magic weapon in his hand. An earth-type puppet at the pinnacle of his level, with powerful attacks and extremely abnormal defense capabilities. During the foundation building period, it would be difficult to have an opponent. The skull of the previous Peak Ghost Lord was also chased and beaten by native puppets.
Although the number of people is smaller, Su Qing and Luo Qian are quite confident. It was a completely different mentality than when I was building the first level of the foundation when I received the mission of patrolling.
Not long after the three of them left the place, a familiar shadow returned to the place like a ghost. Feeling the faint mana fluctuations in the air, the shadow stood still, and the face revealed turned out to be Xia Ruining who had made excuses to leave before.
"As soon as I left, this little bitch was talking and laughing with the two boys, obviously planning something. Let's follow up and see what these guys are planning. If it is a conspiracy What a treasure, if I really bring someone with me to go sightseeing. "After my people arrive, I will set up a trap, then surround and kill these three people, and seize the alchemy weapons from several of them. This will not only bring back a great achievement, but also a windfall." Xia Ruining's face showed no trace of emotion. He was hiding a burst of greed. There was no one around at this time, and there was no need to hide anything. Xia Ruining made an inconspicuous signal on the spot. It looked like the footprints left by an ordinary wild boar in the soft grass when it ran by. I'm afraid even if others see it, they won't be able to find anything.
What Xia Ruining didn't know was that after Su Qing and the others left, Lu Xiaotian would occasionally look back inadvertently.
"Senior Brother Lu, what are you looking behind?" Su Qing was already paying attention to Lu Xiaotian, so she naturally noticed Lu Xiaotian's actions.
"It's nothing, I just thought Xia Ruining's behavior before was a bit strange." Lu Xiaotian said casually.
"What's so strange? You just like to be suspicious. By the way, I remember the battle we had with the foreign monks a few years ago. Before you left, you told me to be careful about Brother Xun. Leave him alone. We left after saying such strange words, and we didn’t see what Senior Brother Xun did to us afterwards,” Su Qing said with her mouth licked.
“That’s not entirely true. Although Senior Brother Xun didn’t do anything to us, I heard that the Senior Brother who went to other places to perform palace tasks with Senior Brother Xun said that several Senior Brothers also suffered misfortunes. According to Their descriptions of the state of death were similar to Song Hu's. It was obvious that they had From the hands of the same person." Speaking of this matter, Luo Qian looked at Lu Xiaotian solemnly and said, "Did you discover something? If there was something, all the brothers in the palace should have died. Only by eliminating hidden dangers”
