Chapter 495: Chasing and intercepting
The two-color ruin spirits are rich in color, no longer like mist, but like ink.
It came straight towards Zhou Qing and wanted to take away his life.
But Zhou Qing was not in a hurry, Kun's clone floated out of his sleeves, and then Kun's clone suddenly grew in size and opened its huge mouth.
He actually swallowed the two-color Xu Ling in one gulp!
In the space inside the body, two colored ruin spirits appeared, jumping around and trying to rush out, but gradually, it began to melt and eventually dissipated.
This is the Void Beast!
The only thing that Kun’s clone wants to eat is whether it wants to eat it, not whether it can eat it.
Being alive or dead, there is actually no difference between them in front of the Devouring Talent.
So Zhou Qing has never been afraid of the extremely difficult to kill Xu Ling. Even if he encounters a monster that he cannot deal with now, Kun's clone can swallow it in one gulp and forcefully digest it. The only difference is the length of time.
If you want to avoid being digested, you either have to avoid being eaten by the Kun clone, or you have to break the space in its body and forcefully rush out.
But even a ruin spirit at the level of manifesting the saint and purifying the marrow obviously does not have the ability to break through space, even if it is just a small space.
Have you entered the "belly" and still want to overthrow the world?
The Ruins Spirit, which is as feared as a tiger by cultivators outside, is not difficult to deal with here in Zhou Qing.
The swallowing talent of Kun's clone is very restrained against this kind of monster. Even if it comes in large quantities at one time, it can still swallow them all. Four thousand cubic meters of space in the body can hold many ruin spirits.
Add some brine to the tofu, and one thing will be reduced.
But even with the Kun clone, a powerful weapon to deal with the Xu Ling, Zhou Qing's expression did not relax much.
I met the Xu Ling three times in a short period of time, which means that he should be attracting these monsters.
It's okay now, but as he continues to go deeper, he may encounter more and more ruin spirits and become stronger and stronger.
Kun's clone limit will always be exceeded, and then...
Zhou Qing didn't understand why these ruin spirits were targeting him, so he had no choice but to move forward.
Fortunately, the golden finger that emerged this month was Kun Kun, which added a lot of powerful combat power to myself.
If there is a [Dream Enlightenment] this month, the difficulty of the trip to Jiuyang Ruins may be doubled, or even more.
Next, Zhou Qing walked to a lake. In the Anyang Ruins, even the lake water was black, as if it contained a lake of thick ink.
On the lake, there was a faint layer of flame burning, which looked extremely strange.
The black lake blocks the way forward. It is so vast that even if you want to go around it, you can't get around it.
This lake is recorded in Jiuyang Encyclopedia and is called Anyang Lake. If you want to go deeper, you can only cross the lake.
If you can't fly, you can only swim across it, or cross it by boat, and it can't be an ordinary boat, otherwise it won't be able to withstand the flames on the lake.
It needs to be a boat made from the trees in Jiuyangxu to be able to withstand the barbecue of the lake fire and successfully cross the lake.
But a boat is only one of the requirements for successfully crossing the lake. There are other obstacles that prevent you from reaching the other side.
There is this kind of boat in Zhou Qing's space ring. After learning about the existence of Anyang Lake, he specially bought the boat from the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce.
Looking around, Zhou Qing also saw other tripartite adventurers.
One party, like him, is a loner.
The other two teams are small teams, one team has five people, and the other team has four people.
Including him, everyone from all directions was at the lake, but they were far apart from each other.
Everyone found each other and had no intention of communicating, and each was doing his or her own thing.
In Jiuyang Ruins, unless they meet someone they know by chance, few people would venture into contact with strangers.
If a stranger comes into contact with you suddenly, you have to be careful.
They may not be after anything else but your life.
Zhou Qing walked along the lake for a while, preparing to see where the Feng Shui treasures were. Finally, he selected a location and prepared to take out the boat and put it down.
"Poof!"
Suddenly, something rushed out of the black lake, very close to Zhou Qing.
Another two-color ruin spirit!
Zhou Qing’s face was as cold as frost, it was endless.
[Taibai] instantly unsheathed his sword and slashed across it, cutting the two-colored ruin spirit in half like cutting tofu.
But it immediately reorganized its body, opened its mouth and roared, and black and green flames surged out, heading straight for Zhou Qing.
The sword light flashed, and even the flames were cut away. The speed and power far exceeded the two-color ruin spirit and once again it was shattered under the sword, and its life still had not come to an end.
The two-color ruin spirit, which is comparable to the bone refining realm, is simply not something that ordinary bone refining warriors can deal with.
The changes in Zhou Qing's place also attracted the attention of the other three parties.
“It’s the Xu Ling. The man was attacked by the Xu Ling.”
"Two-color Xu Ling! That man is really strong. He suppressed the two-color Xu Ling and beat him."
"The two-color Xu Ling is difficult to kill, but his true energy and strength are limited, and now it's Jiuyang Chao, this person is really unlucky."
"..."
The two teams whispered, and the lone traveler glanced at Zhou Qing and left in the boat. .
Not long after, the four-person team also left.
It was not them who met the Xu Ling, and it had nothing to do with them.
Only the last five-man team is left, still watching here by the lake.
In the team, a man who was as short as a child but with a relatively mature face whispered:
“This man looks like he is just about a master of bone refining, and he can deal with a two-color ruin spirit. Even if it can be killed, both sides will suffer losses.”
“Brother, what do you say?”
They were far away from Zhou Qing, so it was impossible for them to see clearly Zhou Qing's specific realm. They could only judge his strength based on Zhou Qing's performance.
To be able to suppress a two-color Xu Ling, you must have at least a master of bone refining. This also requires that the Xu Ling is not too strong, not close to the level of a three-color Xu Ling. .
In the middle of the five people, stood a middle-aged man. He looked ordinary, but his eyes were quite sinister. He stared at Zhou Qing for a while and shook his head.
“Anyone who dares to enter Jiuyang Ruins alone is either a fool or someone with two skills. He looks very young and has such strength. I’m afraid it’s not easy.”
“No. What’s the benefit? We don’t have to provoke such people. Our main goal is the palace. Try not to cause unnecessary problems and preserve our own strength.”
"When we get there, there will be a lot of competition. If there are no clear benefits, there is no need to waste strength elsewhere."
"Brother is right." Another charming woman in cool clothes with her navel exposed and legs echoed. .
In the team, a young man dressed as a scholar smiled and said:
"Hey, although there is no need to take the initiative to provoke him, we can wait. If he dies in that In the hands of the Xu Ling, we can avenge him."
"If the five of us can deal with a two-color Xu Ling, it will definitely be no problem."
The last person in this five-person team was an old man. He just glanced at Zhou Qing and stopped paying attention. He also didn't speak at this moment.
And this team of five people has been standing here and not leaving, seeming to have adopted the scholar's opinion.
When Zhou Qing was fighting with the two-color Xu Ling, he would naturally not forget to pay attention to other people.
After seeing the two parties leaving one after another, except for the five-person team who stayed and looked at him from time to time, Zhou Qing's eyes flashed with cold light.
In Jiuyang Ruins, everyone must be imagined as an enemy. There are no rules and no laws here.
Strength is the only truth.
When others are fighting monsters, standing and watching from a distance can basically be regarded as having evil intentions.
Perhaps there are indeed people with good intentions who are ready to draw their swords to help when the road is rough.
But do you dare to bet?
Bet they are not bad people?
However, Zhou Qing didn't care about them, and still concentrated on killing the Xu Ling.
Sword after sword, this Xu Ling was chopped to pieces by Zhou Qing no matter how many times, but he was still alive and well.
What kind of power created this monster!
One of the most undesirable dangers in Jiuyang Ruins is truly worthy of its name.
Killing a Ruin Spirit basically depletes one's true energy and physical strength, and is unable to deal with other troubles.
And Zhou Qing also discovered that killing Xu Ling with weapons was basically a more energy-saving way.
If you use true energy to temper this method, the loss will be far greater than using weapons.
And fortunately, a ruin spirit of this level does not have any magical powers. It can only control the flame corresponding to the color of its body, and fight with people with its almost immortal body.
Finally, when Zhou Qing shattered the Xu Ling for the last time, it could never be reorganized and was completely wiped out.
Feeling the remaining true energy in his body, Zhou Qing shook his head slightly.
This kind of monster is simply an evil beast!
After taking an elixir, his true energy recovered quickly, and his tired body was nourished. After a while, Zhou Qing glanced at the team of five, then took out the boat he bought and threw it away. On the lake, take a boat ride.
It is said to be a boat, but in fact it can only accommodate two or three people. It is a small and micro boat.
The mature woman saw Zhou Qing leaving and said:
“This person is not weak, he is a master in the bone refining realm.”
The short man said: "Eldest brother and Mr. Gan are in the marrow-cleansing realm, and we are no worse than him."
The middle-aged man nodded, "Since he doesn't need our help, there's no need to provoke him. We Let’s go too.”
Their ship is larger than Zhou Qing’s, after all, it has to carry five people.
The boat floated quickly to the other side of the lake. Zhou Qing carefully observed the surroundings and stared at the lake to prevent other accidents.
"Beast, seeking death!"
After a while, there was movement from the distance. Zhou Qing turned around and saw that the group of people had been attacked by a huge crab beast and was killing the beast.
Withdrawing his gaze, Zhou Qing was still rowing his boat.
This is the second danger of Anyang Lake. There is nothing under this dark lake.
The existence of water beasts has always been a headache for those who cross the lake.
At this time, Zhou Qing found that the lake surface in front of him suddenly fluctuated, as if something was swimming below.
This made Zhou Qing's expression a little solemn. He felt a strong energy and blood, and a fierce energy.
It is a water beast.
Soon, the wave of water saw Zhou Qing.
“Crash!”
A white-bone snake head rushed out of the lake and looked directly at Zhou Qing.
No, can you still live without your brain?
The thoughts in Zhou Qing's heart were endless, but the movements of his hands were not slow. [Taibai] stabbed out fiercely, directly colliding with the bones of the snake head.
"Stuck!"
The snake's head exploded immediately, but the snake's body was still able to move and wrapped directly towards Zhou Qing.
At this time, he also saw the whole snake.
The size of this snake is not large, it is similar to the pythons in his previous life, and the body of the snake looks normal and has no abnormalities.
Until Zhou Qing saw the snake's tail...
Hell, where the snake's tail should have been, there was actually another triangular snake head!
This turned out to be a unique two-headed snake. No wonder the snake with its head turned into bones just now is still alive.
The python came over, trying to wrap around Zhou Qing and strangle him to death. The snake's head at the tail also opened its bloody mouth and bit him.
Zhou Qing's expression remained unchanged, and he calmly swung his sword and struck the snake directly.
The strange snake neighed and tried to turn around, but Zhou Qing punched the snake on the head again, knocking its head off.
[Taibai] turned sideways and struck the snake again. This time, it broke the snake in two. The sword turned again and struck the snake's head again. It cut off the snake's head directly and fell into the lake. .
The snake body finally stopped struggling and died completely.
The white bone snake head is just a decoration.
Zhou Qing grabbed the body of the headless snake, dug out the beast beads, burned the sun fire, roasted the snake directly, and fed it to Kun's clone.
All in one go.
The location of the beast bead is not fixed, and there is no saying that it is only in the head of the beast.
It may appear in any part of the beast.
After dealing with the strange snake, Zhou Qing continued to drive forward, while the five people on the other side also dealt with the crabs that attacked them.
Generally speaking, practitioners who dare to cross Anyang Lake to go deeper are confident in their own strength.
Unless they are besieged by Xuman beasts here, there will rarely be any accidents at the hands of Xuman beasts.
The boats made of Jiuyangxu trees, in addition to resisting the black flames on the lake, can also confuse the wild beasts under the lake to a certain extent and reduce the probability of being attacked.
So being besieged by wild beasts rarely happens.
An Yang Lake blocks the weak from entering the An Yang Ruins, like a screening.
In Anyang Lake, the most dangerous thing is not the Xu beast or even the Xu spirit, but the lake itself.
If you are extremely unlucky, you will encounter a natural disaster in the lake, which is the most deadly and will swallow people into Dark Sun Lake and never come out again.
The wrath of heaven and earth itself is the most difficult to resist.
But there are very few such unlucky people.
Zhou Qing obviously cannot be such a bad guy, he has always been very lucky.
As for being targeted by the Xu Ling, it is obviously not a matter of luck.
On the next waterway, there were also attacks by wild beasts, but they were all dealt with by Zhou Qing. Finally, Zhou Qing successfully reached the other side and put the boat away. When he came back, the boat would still be there. used.
You can also cross the lake by swimming, but the existence of underwater beasts obviously makes swimming across the lake extremely difficult and full of dangers.
It is a reassuring feeling to be on land again.
Zhou Qing was even happier that he didn't meet the Xu Ling when crossing the lake.
He glanced at the five-man team, and then left directly, heading in the direction of his destination.
They did not intercept Zhou Qing, which shows that they are not the kind of reckless people.
In other words, he is quite smart.
After walking for a short distance, a swamp appeared, and there were some buildings with partially exposed outlines on the swamp.
Like eaves, like tiles...
Obviously, there used to be civilization here, but it was just buried.
Zhou Qing was not surprised when he saw this scene.
The Jiuyang Ruins are not just about the natural scenery of heaven and earth. There are large areas of architectural ruins in many places. There are many records in the Jiuyang Encyclopedia.
In the past, some people even found treasures and some bones in the ruins of those buildings.
It can be seen that before this place became Jiuyang Ruins, people lived here and even established sects.
Just overnight, everything was destroyed, leaving only a ruins burning with flames.
Unlike the boundless Tianxu, which has been confirmed to be the mountain gate of Tianming Sect, the former owner of Jiuyang Xu is more mysterious.
Even if someone got something here, they couldn't figure out who and what sect this place belonged to before, and there are no relevant records in the Boundless Sky Ruins.
Although the two ruins appeared on the same night, later generations did not find the connection between them.
But everyone is certain that there cannot be any connection between the two places.
Otherwise, why would the Destiny Sect be destroyed and only this place would have problems?
Why don’t such places appear in Tianyue County and Tianhai County?
Zhou Qing observed the swamp. There were still black flames burning, and some places were bubbling.
No one knows how many beasts are hidden under this swamp.
It is said in Jiuyang Encyclopedia that the strength of the Xu beasts encountered after crossing Dark Sun Lake will be greatly improved.
Zhou Qing found a relatively dry and hard area and carefully began to move forward.
But after he walked halfway, Zhou Qing stopped again, with a look of helplessness on his face.
To his right, in the muddiest place, a head appeared, with two eyes, one black and one white, staring at him.
Another two-color ruin spirit.
The entire body of this two-colored ruin spirit from the head down was buried in the swamp, with only its head sticking out.
Zhou Qing walked forward, and the heads of the two-colored Xu Ling also moved, their eyes always falling on him.
Zhou Qing really wanted to say, stop following me, I am the man you will never get.
“Hoo!”
Zhou Qing ran wildly, faster than the wind. He wanted to pass through this swamp quickly and fight the Xu Ling here, but he suffered a lot.
If you fall into a swamp, that's another problem.
The heads of the two-colored Xu Ling began to move on the swamp, chasing Zhou Qing.
Obviously the physical body is in an environment like a swamp, but its speed has not slowed down at all.
"Roar!"
This sudden burst of movement also alarmed the beasts in the swamp. They roared and got out of the swamp.
But after seeing the head of the Xu Ling, these Xu beasts actually fled towards the distance in a tacit understanding.
This is a strange sight. The wild beasts actually have something to be afraid of.
But the Xu Ling is the enemy of all life in Jiuyang Xu.
However, this saves Zhou Qing a lot of trouble, at least he will not be besieged by the ruin spirits and wild beasts.
“Boom!”
The swamp exploded with a bang, and then the Xuling flew up directly and pounced on Zhou Qing.
Zhou Qing flicked his left hand and continued to run forward, leaving the Xu Ling with only a huge abyss mouth.
You want to eat me?
Why don’t you ask me if I want to eat you!
Leaving Kun's clone to devour the Xu Ling, Zhou Qing ran wildly and finally emerged from the swamp.
According to the news from Kun's clone, the ruin spirit had entered its stomach.
"This is the fourth time. Killing this kind of monster directly is really an advantage for them."
Zhou Qing was very angry, thinking about how to give the Xu Ling a different way to die. He first asked Kun's clone not to digest the Xu Ling for the time being.
But at this time, five figures appeared in front, blocking Zhou Qing.
Zhou Qing stopped and looked at the five faces one by one.
I heard one of the people blocking the road ask:
“Is there something about you that attracts the ruin spirits?”
