Chapter 239 Cave
Chen Lin stood at the entrance of the cave for a while, then turned and left.
After returning to Black Corner City and wandering around for more than ten days, I felt that the group should come out no matter how deep they explored, so they returned to the cave.
First he took out a crow puppet, controlled it to fly in and checked it out, and then followed it in.
There is no light in the cave, it is dark and damp, and the feet are not flat.
But this was nothing to the Foundation Establishment monk. He took out a luminous stone and moved forward with the faint light.
The cave is winding and winding all the way down.
The crow puppet opened the way in front, and Chen Lin followed behind. The deeper he walked, the deeper he went. A layer of water droplets appeared on the rock walls on both sides, and there were puddles of water in the low-lying areas under his feet.
In addition, he also found that the deeper he went, the colder it became. It was not an ordinary drop in temperature, but a feeling that chilled the soul.
“Jiji!”
Suddenly, a strange scream appeared from the depths of the cave.
This sound is not only harsh, but also makes people feel trembling.
Immediately, several large bat-like monsters appeared in the Crow Puppet's field of vision.
Just as Chen Lin was about to take the puppet back, his vision was suddenly interrupted and the crow puppet had been destroyed.
However, he is now a foundation-building monk, and this mental damage has no effect. He hangs the high-grade spiritual weapon Red Fire Sword in front of him, waits for the first black shadow to rush up, and then cuts it out with one sword!
"Bang!"
When the sword light fell, there was no scene of blood splattering. The monster exploded directly and turned into a ball of black gas.
What surprised Chen Lin even more was that this black energy was immediately absorbed by the next monster. This monster grew in size out of thin air and charged towards him fiercely!
Chen Lin immediately struck out with another sword.
The sword moved freely and struck the monster accurately. However, this time it failed to kill it with one blow. Instead, it was killed with another sword blow.
Just like before, this monster also exploded with a bang, turning into a denser mass of black gas, which was immediately absorbed by the third monster that rushed out.
After being absorbed, this monster became even larger and its momentum increased dramatically. Besides this one, there was a constant sound of flapping wings in the cave, which was harsh and disturbing.
Chen Lin did not dare to kill again, but instead played a defensive talisman, forming a light shield around his body.
I don’t know how many of these things there are, and the more they fight, the stronger they get. If they are fused to a certain number, it may be possible to reach the strength of a Golden Core monk.
The defensive talisman is a second-level high-level one. It can block attacks in the later stages of foundation building. After being activated, Chen Lin felt relieved and looked for a solution.
But he soon discovered that the defensive light shield was barely able to resist those ordinary monsters, but the big guy fused with black energy slapped it several times with its sharp claws, and the shield began to shake.
“Hmph!”
Chen Lin snorted coldly, flipped his wrist, and a golden silkworm net appeared in his palm. Then, with a pinch of magic, the golden silkworm cocoon turned into countless golden threads and disappeared. up in the air.
The next moment, a giant golden net was formed, wrapping all the monsters that rushed out.
"Collect it!"
Chen Lin's mind moved, and the golden net quickly tightened, wrapping these monsters together, making strange chirping sounds.
Seeing this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that it is still possible to capture them alive. They will not explode by themselves, nor will they bite and devour each other.
Although the crisis has been temporarily resolved, Chen Lin is still at a loss. These things cannot always be kept in the golden silkworm net. How to deal with them is still a problem, and he has not caught them all. There are still more deep in the cave. The sound of flapping wings is present.
He tried many methods, but failed to find a way to completely kill the monsters in the golden net. Instead, he exploded a few more, and the black energy was swallowed up by the strongest monster, making this One of them became like a big eagle, and under its crazy struggle, the golden silkworm web was broken open.
Seeing such a scene, Chen Lin did not dare to blindly experiment anymore. Hearing the sound of flapping wings in the cave getting closer and closer, he planned to exit first, study it carefully, and then explore again.
Just when he pulled back, a monster suddenly rushed out from below. He did not dare to use flying swords, talismans and other means, so he pointed out in desperation.
"Plop!"
The strange bird responded and fell to the ground.
Chen Lin looked at this scene in astonishment. This time, his body did not explode!
In sight, the monster corpse on the ground began to fade and disappear, leaving only an inconspicuous small black bead.
The Soul-Destroying Finger is actually effective?
Chen Lin came closer with a strange color, wrapped the black beads with magic power, and inspected them carefully. After finding nothing special, he took out a jade bottle and temporarily put it in it. .
Then, he hit the struggling monster in the golden silkworm net, and soon the monster disappeared, leaving only a small pile of black beads.
The largest one is about the size of a quail egg, exuding slight strange fluctuations.
Chen Lin was overjoyed and secretly said that one thing would bring down another. At the same time, he complained that such important information was not marked by Mu Linglong. Although the black beads could not fuse with each other, for the sake of safety, he still collected them separately and moved on.
After walking for almost two quarters of an hour, the field of vision suddenly widened, and an empty space appeared in front of us.
There are several forks in the road here, and the sound of flapping wings is occasionally heard from one of them, indicating that the monster came out of this passage.
But he was no longer worried.
Along the way, he killed at least nearly a hundred of these monsters, and even deliberately let some of them devour and fuse, and obtained several black beads the size of pigeon eggs, and one as big as two eggs.
The Soul-Destroying Finger is simply the nemesis of this thing, destroying as many as it comes.
After observing for a while, Chen Lin took out the jade slips of the map, compared them, and came to one of the downward forks.
The marks on the map are not very detailed, but if he had not entered the wrong cave, he should have been heading straight down here.
“Huh?”
Suddenly, Chen Lin's eyes moved and he looked at the corner of another fork in the road.
Sent the luminous stone forward, and sure enough there was something there, it turned out to be a storage bag!
I picked up a storage bag while walking, but Chen Lin was not surprised. Instead, he became alert.
The storage bag is the lifeblood of a monk's fortune. It will never be dropped except by death.
Of course, it could also be a trap, left here intentionally for fishing, but it is estimated that no one would choose a place where few people come here a year to kill people and seize treasures.
After hesitating for a moment, Chen Lin took out a foundation-building puppet and directed him to pick up the storage bag.
After the puppet opened the storage bag on the spot, he poured out a lot of items. The treasure light flashed inside, and it looked like there were a lot of good things.
After waiting for a while and seeing that there were no traps, Chen Lin took out a few more foundation-building puppets and escorted them over to check.
"Huh?"
When he came to the fork in the road, he found a corpse lying a little bit inside the cave entrance, his eyes wide open, as if he was unwilling to die in peace.
Moreover, he had seen this person before. He was one of the four people he met outside the cave that day!
Chen Lin stepped forward to check and confirmed that the scars on the opponent's body were caused by the bat monster. He felt a little relieved. This kind of monster might be difficult for other monks, but it posed no threat to him. .
I don’t know if the other three also died or left.
After sighing for a while, Chen Lin put the things back into the storage bag, then came to the vertical hole, took out a new crow puppet, and controlled it to explore the situation.
After a while, he also used the floating technique and slowly floated down.
The empty space fell into darkness again, and occasionally there were bursts of strange noises coming from several other forked passages.
After a while, a figure wearing a monk's robe slowly walked out of the passage where the corpse was. He stared at the entrance of the cave where Chen Lin entered for a long time, and then whispered: "It turned out to be going down. It doesn't seem to be the case. You came here for the altar, but you were careful enough, and there are still puppets in the foundation-building stage, so you saved your life."
The monk muttered, and then did not move the corpse, but followed it. Head back towards the surface.
Chen Lin went all the way down, no matter how far he went, the passage finally became slant again, allowing him to land on the ground.
After walking forward for about half an hour, we followed the map marks and turned several forks. Finally, our eyes lit up and we arrived at our destination.
This is a black pool that is constantly rolling. Mu Linglong calls it the soul-washing pool, saying that after soaking in it, the soul will become purer and more closely integrated with the body, and it can also allow people to sense their own soul. Strengthening it is extremely helpful for practicing the Soul-Destroying Finger.
The reason why he was willing to risk running so far was not actually to practice the Soul-Destroying Finger, but because he was interested in the second effect mentioned by the other party, which was to increase the closeness between the soul and the body.
After traveling through so many years, Chen Lin felt that his soul was not completely integrated with his body. Although there was no abnormality, there was always a sense of separation, especially after practicing the Soul-Destroying Finger, this feeling became more obvious. .
Otherwise, he has already received the inheritance of the Silver Fairy, and it is impossible for him to need such a long time of polishing to reach the entry level.
Perhaps Silver Fairy didn’t expect it, thinking that he would be able to achieve success after filling his body, so she gave him the inheritance jade slip and paid no attention to it. She didn’t remind him of this spell until she saw him again. importance, and his words also showed a little disappointment in his cultivation speed.
"I hope this place can give me some surprises!"
Chen Lin whispered, took out a small cage from the package, and after removing the black cloth covering it, a mini monkey was revealed come out.
In fact, with his wealth and status, it is not difficult to get a spirit beast bag that can hold living animals. However, the spirit beast bag can only accommodate spirit beasts that recognize its owner. Cultivating a spirit beast is very labor-intensive. , and he didn't meet any suitable spiritual beast cubs, so he didn't go get those.
This is a first-order monster silver-tailed monkey. Apart from its size, its body structure is very similar to that of humans, and its intelligence is also very high. He brought it here for experimentation.
Even Mu Linglong doesn’t fully understand the reason for the formation of this pool, so he naturally has to be more careful.
