Chapter 246 Black Beetle
A few days later, Lu Xiaotian looked at the dispersing black shadow in the sky with a somewhat ugly expression. When these damn duck-billed monster birds chased him before, they chased him too closely, and he injured one of them. He didn't expect these monster birds to be so vengeful. After chasing for several days, he, Su Qing, and Luo Qian got separated because there were too many demon birds in pursuit. As for the location of the Ningjin Fruit, only Su Qing knows. Now that he is alone, it is not easy to find the Ningjin Fruit.
The duck-billed monster not only held a grudge, but also chased him for several days. Now it reluctantly dispersed. When Lu Xiaotian came back to his senses, he realized that there were bursts of smoke surrounding the place where he was now. He smelled a fishy smell in his nose and felt a slight dizziness within a moment. Lu Xiaotian was shocked. The black smoke was poisonous. He quickly took out the antidote pill and swallowed it. The dizziness was a little lighter. No wonder these duck-billed monster birds gave up the pursuit. It was probably because of the poisonous mist here.
Anyway, we finally got rid of the pursuit of those demon birds, and we are safe for the time being. Lu Xiaotian looked around and saw that there was nothing else except black smoke. It's just that this place is an unfamiliar place for him. It may not be easy to meet up with Su Qing and Luo Qian. There are not only monks from Xuanye City nearby, but also monks from foreign lands. There are dangers everywhere, Su Qing and Luo Qian. They won't stay there and wait for him. Maybe it's unknown whether they have gotten out of the crisis. Don't think about the Ningjin Fruit for the time being. Lu Xiaotian felt annoyed. The most urgent task was to find out where he was first.
Thinking of this, Lu Xiaotian's heart moved and he took out the soul-forbidden bead that he had previously obtained from the red-turbaned old man Chang Dahai.
"Fellow Daoist, Friend Daoist, you have finally appeared." The Yuan Shen in the Forbidden Soul Bead originally looked a little dull, but suddenly felt a ray of spiritual consciousness sweeping in, and the Yuan Shen was immediately overjoyed.
"I have a question for you. Since you are a monk from Ten Thousand Beasts Pavilion, you are not unfamiliar with the area around Xuanye City." Lu Xiaotian asked.
"Not a stranger, not a stranger. My fellow Taoist, you are just a monk from outside. If you have any questions, just ask. I will definitely tell you everything I know." Yuanshen said quickly.
"Okay, now I am in a place full of dense forests, surrounded by towering trees, and a poisonous black mist is emitting everywhere. Do you know what this place is?"
Lu Xiaotian asked, he was alone and touched again There are no other monks, and now he can only ask the soul in the Soul Forbidden Pearl. He can feel that there are dangers everywhere here. If he wanders in without knowing it, he may inadvertently encounter some other powerful monsters. place, or strayed into other dangerous places. Since there is this soul in the Forbidden Soul Pearl, there is no reason to leave it alone.
"No way, you have entered the Mist Forbidden Area!" The soul in the Forbidden Soul Bead cried out.
“What kind of place is the Mist Forbidden Land?” Lu Xiaotian’s heart trembled, and he could tell from the other party’s shocked tone that this place was probably unusual.
“The Mist Forbidden Land is a mysterious place between Sunset Field and Qingchi Mountain. It is very dangerous. In the past, nearby sects or monks from Xuanye City accidentally entered the Mist Forbidden Land, and they usually died or were injured. Less than one in ten can survive. I heard that there were golden elixir monks who died here before, but it was quite a long time ago. I don’t know whether it is true or not, but the foundation-building monks wanted to get out of here alive. The chance is not that low." Yuanshen took a breath and said, "How did fellow Taoist come to this ghost place?"
"I was chased by a group of demon birds and had no choice but to avoid this weird place. , Do you think I am willing?" Lu Xiaotian said angrily. According to this Yuanshen's words, this Mist Forbidden Land is extremely dangerous, and it may not be easy to leave, let alone find Su Qing. Thinking that the Ningjin Fruit might be picked by others, Lu Xiaotian couldn't help feeling irritated.
"So that's it. I've only heard about this Mist Forbidden Land and have never actually entered it. If Chang Dahai was killed by fellow Taoist, there must be a glimmer of hope to successfully escape with the strength of fellow Taoist." Yuanshen heard Lu Xiaotian's angry voice and laughed dryly.
"So, you are not familiar with this place anymore." Lu Xiaotian said in a deep voice.
“Fellow Taoist, please don’t worry. Although I have never been here, several of my fellow disciples have experienced going in and out of this place, so I know a little bit about it. I hope it can be helpful to fellow Taoists. Qingchi Mountain is It is a branch mountain range of the Moon Mountains, but it is no less dangerous than the Moon Mountains, because the Sunset Wilderness is rich in products and has a large number of various monsters. Some of the monsters from Qingchi Mountain would enter the Sunset Wilderness for hunting, and over time, a kind of migration was formed. Because the Qingchi Mountains were distributed in a ring, they blocked the sunlight at the junction of the Sunset Wilderness, making the area heavier in yin. Over time, many monsters were born. Poison, forming a foggy forbidden area."
"Are there any seventh-level monsters here?" Lu Xiaotian asked.
“There were rumors before that the activities were very frequent, and the human monks who entered it narrowly escaped death. Later, the Jindan monks from Xuanye City fought with the seventh-level monsters and above, and killed many seven-level monsters. Monsters above level, high The high-level monsters retreated into the depths of the Qingchi Mountains, and now it is rare to encounter high-level monsters. "
Lu Xiaotian was relieved, as long as there are no monsters of level seven or above. , things will have room for maneuver.
"However, fellow Taoists, don't think that you can sit back and relax without having monsters of level seven or above. Many of the monsters in Sunset Wilderness and Qingchi Mountain live in groups. Those huge groups that move tens of thousands of monsters will Even if a Golden Core cultivator comes into contact, he will stay away. Once a Foundation Establishment cultivator falls into it, the result will most likely be death." Before Lu Xiaotian could relax, Yuanshen said in a solemn tone.
“Are there any huge groups of monsters in this area?”
“Yes, and quite a few. Outside the Lost Forbidden Area, there are huge groups of fire crows and fire bats. On the edge of the Lost Forbidden Land, there are also swarms of poisonous golden ants and golden leech swarms, not to mention the powerful duck-billed warblers inside the Lost Forbidden Land. Countless black beetle swarms, fearsome blood dog swarms... Once you accidentally get caught in one, even the golden elixir monks may not be able to save it. After countless years of reproduction, the number of these monsters has become so large that it can scare people. To the point of being dumbfounded." Yuan Shen's tone was very solemn, obviously recalling some previous scenes.
Lu Xiaotian was somewhat tempted just now. He had personally experienced fire crows and fire bats, and the other party said it in just one sentence. Lu Xiaotian naturally believed it. Those strange duck-billed birds that we encountered before were probably the duck-billed warblers that the other party mentioned.
"You and Chang Dahai are from the same sect. Have you ever heard rumors about the Ningjin Fruit nearby?" After briefly asking about the Mist Forbidden Land, Lu Xiaotian asked this most concerning question. "Ningjin Fruit? How did fellow Taoist know about this?" Yuan Shen said in an extremely surprised tone.
“Of course I heard about it from Chang Dahai’s mouth.”
“I know a little bit about Ningjin Fruit, but I’m afraid there are other people who know about Ningjin Fruit, although not all of them may know it. We can find the location of the Nugget Fruit, but we do not rule out this possibility. If you are determined, I can help you find the Nugget Fruit. However, as a deal, I hope you can do something for me. Something." Yuanshen said after hesitating for a while.
"What's the matter?"
"Now that my physical body has been destroyed, my soul has been sealed in this soul-forbidden bead, and I am no longer qualified to reincarnate. I'm afraid The only way to survive is to practice ghost cultivation. As long as my fellow Taoist helps me capture a ghost body, I will do my best to help my fellow Taoist obtain the Golden Condensation Fruit.”
"Ghost cultivator? How dare you? Don't you have a master? How about I get the Golden Condensation Fruit and then give the Forbidden Soul Pearl to your master?"
"My master? No, absolutely not. If he is Knowing that my incompetent disciple has turned into a ghost cultivator, I'm afraid he won't be able to spare me. If he begs my master, isn't that asking for death?" Yuanshen quickly shook his head and said.
"Ghost body, where can I find it with you? Those who can make ghost bodies must also look for evil things like the Inferi. This kind of place is not easy to find, and such evil things are infested. There are usually other filthy things in the place, which may not be easy to deal with," Lu Xiaotian frowned.
“I know of a place where there are indeed some powerful Inferi, no worse than monks in the later stages of foundation building. However, if you fellow Taoist don’t even have this strength, I advise you not to fight Ningjin. Guo's idea, lest he lose his strength and die," Yuan Shen said coldly.
"In this case, there is nothing more to say. I will destroy the Soul Forbidden Pearl." Lu Xiaotian was annoyed. The Ningjin Fruit was indeed valuable, but he had the Ningjin Pill. If he was willing to risk some Risk, by operating secretly in Wangyue City, you might not be able to exchange for the Golden Nugget Fruit. You must know that in the eyes of other monks, the Condensing Gold Pill is much more precious than the Condensing Gold Fruit. After all, no matter how high the level of elixir refining is, there is no guarantee that the elixir will be made in one furnace. He didn't have to ask for the down-and-out spirit in front of him.
"No, no, fellow Taoist, I'm begging you." Hearing Lu Xiaotian's angry tone, Yuanshen suddenly panicked, "Otherwise, I will help you get the Golden Nugget Fruit first. , you go to another place, there is a skeleton there, I will make do with it and use the skeleton as the main body, so you don't have to help me hunt down the Inferi, just Just help me protect the law while I transform into a ghost cultivator. What do you think, fellow Taoist?"
Lu Xiaotian thought for a while and nodded in agreement. In fact, he was not unwilling to help the other party hunt down someone. The stronger Yin Zhi just doesn't like the threatening tone, but now that the other party has changed its target, Lu Xiaotian is also happy. It doesn't take much effort just to take things off. After all, ghost cultivators will definitely commit a lot of sins in the future. Once this incident is over, they may be enemies if they meet again in the future.
"Huh?" As soon as the negotiation with Yuanshen was completed, there was a subtle rustling sound in the dense forest, and it seemed like something was moving.
"What's wrong?" The soul is trapped in the Forbidden God Pearl. Only Lu Xiaotian's soul can communicate with it after entering, and cannot feel the situation outside.
"There seems to be a lot of things moving not far away, there is a dense rustling sound, let me go and have a look." After Lu Xiaotian said that, he planned to go and see what it was. Knowing yourself and the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger. He didn't want to be What a sudden attack.
"No, it's a swarm of black cockroaches. Run quickly, run to a place where there is no sound, otherwise it will be too late." As soon as Lu Xiaotian took a step, Yuanshen screamed in fear.
“A swarm of black cockroaches?” Lu Xiaotian was stunned. Countless black beetles the size of fists, like cockroaches, oscillated their wings and burst out several feet away. Countless black beetles formed a black stream. The wave of waves surged toward Lu Xiaotian. Dozens of mountain apes and tigers with different auras were running away in panic at this time. However, they did not escape far before they were submerged by the turbulent black wave. Especially the mountain ape, which had already reached the strength of a fifth-level monster. With the slap, countless black beetles were smashed to pieces, but these black beetles seemed to have no fear at all. Hundreds of black beetles were just a drop in the bucket in terms of a huge group. The mountain ape took a few random shots, and then dozens of black beetles crawled up its forearms and feet, and got into the mountain ape's hair to bite. The mountain ape screamed strangely and slapped its two forearms wildly. The black beetles that climbed onto the mountain ape first were killed without any suspense. However, if one mountain ape killed one, there were two, three, or even more black beetles. The beetle crawled onto its body, and in a blink of an eye, the originally earthy yellow mountain ape crawled on its body. Covered with thick black armor, the mountain ape howled miserably, and struggled to roll on the ground after beating to no avail. But before long, there were so many black beetles crawling on the mountain ape that it rolled into a huge ball. The black beetles They rush in and out fearlessly, and they become even more crazy when they smell a trace of blood.
In the blink of an eye, the originally powerful mountain ape was submerged by the black wave.
There were also several demon rats and demon monkeys who climbed into the trees and looked at the black tide surging on the ground in horror, trying to avoid the disaster. But the black beetles climbing up the big tree quickly dispelled the illusions of these monsters. Not a moment later, these demon rats and demon monkeys screamed and fell from the sky together with the black beetles on their bodies.
Although the strength of each one did not exceed the third level, seeing the black waves made Lu Xiaotian's scalp tingle despite his courage. Especially those monster beasts that were submerged by the black wave. The strong ones could only struggle for a moment. Facing this kind of black beetle that was not afraid of death and had no fear, it was really helpless. Lu Xiaotian exhaled and directly took out the black flying sword, intending to fly away with the sword. But soon, Feijian didn't move at all.
"What's going on? I can't fly with my sword in the Lost Forbidden Land. Is there any way?" Lu Xiaotian's heart tightened, and he quickly locked his consciousness into the Forbidden Soul Pearl again.
"What, you actually encountered such a thing. There are indeed many strange things in the Mist Forbidden Land. Bizarre space restrictions appear every once in a while, and monks are completely unable to fly in the air. There is no other way now, run away!”
