Chapter 167: Tension
It was a quiet night, and the two of them spent the night taking turns to be on guard.
The next morning, Lin Tianming and his two men left the temporary cave.
After a night of meditation practice, Lin Shilu's spiritual power was fully restored. Lin Tianming was in good condition. Although there were still some flesh wounds on his body that were not easy to heal, with his strong recovery power, he could recover in less than two days. Can be completely cured.
Feeling the surging spiritual power and blood in his body, those minor injuries had little impact on his combat effectiveness.
Lin Tianming looked good, and he had gained a lot from this trip, which made his handsome face always filled with a satisfied smile.
Looking at the cave where he stayed for two nights, he then took action to cover up the traces of the cave.
After covering up the cave, Lin Shilu took out the map. The two of them glanced at it and put it away again.
There were almost no accidents on the route they came from, and the two decided to continue along the route they came from and rush back to Qiankawabo City.
“Let’s go!” Lin Shilu ordered.
After speaking, Lin Shilu took the lead and walked away, leaping tens of feet with his feet. Lin Tianming was not to be outdone and quickly raised his legs to follow.
The two of them quickly passed over the rocks and giant trees, and soon disappeared without a trace.
After traveling for most of the day, the two of them walked hundreds of miles.
During this period, they only encountered a few low-level monsters, and they were killed when they raised their hands. Then they quickly left and traveled so far, but they still did not get out of the most dangerous inner area.
The scorching sun is in the sky and the sun is shining brightly.
At this time, the two of them appeared in a swamp area.
This is a huge swamp that can be seen as far as the eye can see. Inside the swamp, there are many mounds dozens of feet high dotted.
The two crossed the mound and were about to shuttle over. Gang Gang stopped after walking a thousand feet.
In front of them, two huge weird monster insects were baring their teeth, blocking their way.
Both demonic insects are three feet long, with shiny black torsos and centipedes under their bodies. They look fierce.
The two of them had also passed through this place when they entered, but they did not encounter these two demonic insects. Unexpectedly, they happened to meet each other when they left.
The two were about to bypass the two demonic insects, but they did not expect that the two demonic insects did not give up. They chased the two for a while, and occasionally spit out ice swords to attack the two.
Lin Tianming felt helpless for a while. Their harvest from this trip was already great enough. If they encountered each other on a regular basis, it would be good if he didn't cause trouble. Unexpectedly, these two monsters were still unwilling to let go.
He couldn't figure out why these two early-stage second-order monster insects should cause trouble for them. What was the difference between this and seeking death?
Seeing this situation, the dignified monk on the sixth floor of the foundation was actually chased by two early stage second-level monster insects.
Lin Shilu also said helplessly:
"Tianming, these are black-armored monster insects that like to bombard monks. Their defense is extremely powerful and their speed is also very fast. But since we happen to encounter them by chance, let's deal with them quickly! "
Lin Tianming nodded, and the two of them took out their magic weapons and killed the two black-armored monster insects directly.
Lin Tianming held the Tiangang Sword in his hand and slashed three sword qi in a row, killing one of the monster insects head-on.
To deal with these two monster insects, they had no pressure at all, so Lin Tianming did not plan to use the Earth Evil Sword.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
Seeing the silver-white sword energy coming, the demonic insect let out a strange chirp, and then swept its hundreds of insect legs quickly, at an extremely fast speed, and actually made no sound. Moving dozens of feet laterally, he easily dodged Lin Tianming's attack.
Lin Tianming was surprised for a while. He didn't expect that the demonic insect was really fast, which also made him feel his own shortcomings.
In previous fights, he used the Earthly Sword Formation to trap the enemy. Only when the enemy was restrained did he attack in turn. Even monks or monsters who were stronger than him could not survive within the sword formation. Live too long.
Without the suppression of the Disha Sword Formation, this demonic insect managed to escape the attack so easily.
After the blow failed, Lin Tianming put away his playful expression and became serious.
He fought with one hand, and a large number of fireballs fell from the sky. At the same time, the Tiangang Sword in his hand started to wave again.
Not to be outdone, the demonic insect raised its head and spit out several ice swords, stabbing directly at Lin Tianming at an extremely fast speed.
Lin Tianming raised his hand to create a wall of fire in front of him. The moment the ice sword came into contact with the wall of fire, the wall of fire composed of the five elements of spiritual power was pierced by the ice sword.
“Pfft…”
A soft sound was heard, and the speed of the ice sword dropped slightly. Lin Tianming took this opportunity to retreat more than ten feet.
The original location where they stayed has been bombarded to create a deep pool, and a large amount of mud gushes out of the deep pool, quickly forming a pool.
Lin Tianming looked calm. He held the Tiangang Sword tightly and struck out a few more times. Then the wind blew under his feet and he jumped tens of feet toward the monster insect.
The demonic insect bared its teeth, and the mucus in its mouth fell to the ground. It looked at the powerful energy and blood in Lin Tianming's body, and it was full of salivation.
Seeing Lin Tianming's attack, the demonic insect squirmed all over and spit out a few mouthfuls of ice sword to kill Lin Tianming again.
In less than a breath, the sword energy and the ice sword collided.
There were bursts of explosions, and water suddenly splashed in the swamp below.
At the same time, a sword energy suddenly defeated the demon insect's ice sword and bombarded the demon insect's carapace.
"Keng..."
A sound like a metal collision came out, and a palm-sized crack suddenly appeared on the monster insect's carapace.
The pained monster twisted its body angrily, and after a burst of screams, it stared at Lin Tianming fiercely, looking very fearful.
Then one person and one insect fought together again. For a time, spells and sword energy attacked wildly, and earth-shattering explosions were heard throughout the swamp.
While Lin Tianming and Lin Tianming were fighting fiercely, on a hilltop more than ten miles away, an old man in black was staring at the faint fire ahead, showing a bloodthirsty smile.
"Hehe...it looks like he has some strength, go over and have a look, maybe there is a chance!"
After the old man whispered something, he jumped a hundred feet and quickly disappeared into the dense forest. .
Swamp...
Lin Tianming and the black beetle fought for more than ten rounds, causing damage to each other. However, Lin Tianming basically took the absolute initiative and most of the time suppressed the monster insect.
Lin Tianming, who became serious, no longer held back and took action again, preparing to resolve the battle as soon as possible.
He threw the Tiangang Sword in his hand into the sky, then made a special gesture with his hands in a seal, and at the same time recited the spell in his mouth.
“The first of the Nine Swords of Tiangang, kill!”
I saw countless fireballs suddenly appearing in the sky, and in the rain of fire, a golden sword fell down with an extremely fast speed.
The black beetle felt the strong aura and swung its body crazily, trying to get out of the quagmire under its feet.
The black beetle couldn't dodge at all, and could only watch as the golden sword struck his head.
"Bang..." A sharp and soft explosion came out, and the black beetle's head was cut off directly, and fell straight into the beach, causing a splash of water.
The main body twisted a few times and then stopped moving. It was obvious that it could no longer die.
Lin Tianming jumped up and came to the monster insect, checking the situation of the monster insect.
On the other side, Lin Shilu solved the battle faster than Lin Tianming. After all, with his sixth-level cultivation, he was able to kill the black beetles at the early stage of the second level easily and without much effort.
Seeing Lin Tianming solve the battle, Lin Shilu was very satisfied with his performance, and then he said with excitement:
"Tianming, peel off the carapace of the monster insect, and then take out the inner elixir. , this corpse is also a good thing, I think the Purple Golden Eagle and the Soul-eating Pearl will like it, just enough for them to swallow one each.”
Lin Tianming nodded, with a look of joy on his face.
After this trip, I got a lot of green void snake bodies, as well as this second-level demon insect. The purple golden eagle will not have to worry about food in a short time.
He quickly removed the inner elixir of the black beetle, and then waved the Tiangang Sword in his hand to remove the hard shell of the demonic insect, as well as the huge number of insect legs, so that none of them could be left behind.
Although it is not possible to refine higher quality spiritual weapons, it is still good for those members of the clan who are learning to refine weapons. If the fire of the clansman's weapon refining is sufficient, it is possible to refine first-level high-quality spiritual weapons. possible.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, all the shells and limbs of the two black beetles were removed, and they were all put in a storage bag and handed to Lin Shilu to take back to the family.
Lin Tianming took the corpse of the monster himself and worked hard for a while, collecting all the useful things and then covering up the traces of the battle.
Lin Tianming clapped his hands, walked up to Lin Shilu and said to him:
"Fifteenth Grandpa, let's set off!"
"Hmm!"
Lin Shilu nodded and was about to turn around and leave. At this moment, he seemed to feel something.
"Tianming, be careful!"
When he exclaimed, he raised his hand and struck Lin Tianming back more than ten feet. He himself also used the reverse thrust to retreat more than ten feet and landed in a small void. on the ground.
The moment the two left the place, nine flying needles bombarded their previous foothold at a terrifying speed, blasting nine bottomless holes into the ground.
"A set of flying needle instruments?"
After he stabilized his body, Lin Shilu's expression changed. He held the spirit sword in his hand and stared nervously behind a mound in front of him and said:
"Fellow Taoists are here, why hide!"
Behind a mound a few hundred feet away, an old man in black crawled out of the soil, with a look of annoyance on his face.
Before this, he heard the fierce battle between Lin Tianming and the Black Beetle, and relying on his body skills and cultivation, he groped his way to hide here.
Seeing that Lin Shilu and his two brothers were not as good as him in cultivation and had consumed a lot of spiritual energy, they had evil thoughts.
Little did he know that Lin Shilu seemed to have noticed it long ago and was always vigilant, causing his fatal blow to fall short.
Now that they have a grudge, it is no longer within his control to escape.
The old man in black had a calm face and came out openly. He cupped his hands towards Lin Shilu and said:
"This fellow Taoist, I have no evil intentions. I just accidentally let go. Since everyone If everything goes well, how about we just give up?"
Lin Shilu's face was full of disdain after hearing the shameless explanation from the old man in black.
How could a dignified foundation-building monk be able to let go? This explanation is too far-fetched.
"Hmph!"
Lin Shilu's face was slightly angry, and he glared at the old man in black, thinking in his heart.
The old man is at the seventh level of foundation building, one level higher than him. If he were alone, he would probably not be his opponent.
But Lin Tianming is here, and with his magical power, he can almost face monks on the third or even fourth floor of the foundation. With the two of them joining forces, there is no chance of winning.
More importantly, if he hadn’t been alert just now, Lin Tianming might have been seriously injured or even killed. If Lin Tianming died, the family’s further hopes would be shattered, and he would become the sinner of the family. .
Thinking of this, Lin Shilu said angrily:
"Fellow Taoist intends to reconcile as soon as the attack fails. Do you really think that I am made of clay?"
As Lin Shilu spoke, he unconsciously He moved slowly toward Lin Tianming.
The two of them gathered together, each holding a weapon in their hands, watching the old man in black's every move vigilantly.
Although there is no chance of winning, if they really fight, they have at most a 30% chance of winning, and there is a high probability that both sides will lose.
As a result, they had to be cautious and be ready to deal with the threats posed by the old man at any time.
The old man in black sneered when he heard Lin Shilu's words.
Although he has the intention to give up the fight, his cultivation is there. Even if he loses, his life will not be in danger. If he cannot defeat him, there is still no problem in escaping.
It is this cautious, even timid character that has allowed him to live for more than a hundred years and have made many enemies, and he has even reached the late stage of foundation building.
Seeing that the old man did not speak to refute or make any moves, Lin Tianming stared at the old man in black nervously and looked at him.
He opened his colorful eyes and looked at the old man in black.
Under Lin Tianming's gaze, the old man in black's disguise and the spiritual weapon that concealed his aura had no effect.
Looking at the real face, Lin Tianming exclaimed.
“Gu Tong!”
Lin Shilu on the side looked puzzled, but he quickly remembered what Lin Tianming mentioned when he came back from the lobby of Fangshi, and quickly remembered Gu Tong’s identity.
When the old man heard Lin Tianming's exclamation, his expression suddenly changed, and he was no longer as calm as before.
He traveled around the world of immortality and did a lot of shameful things. The reason why he was not killed by his enemies was because of the art of disguise and the spiritual weapon that concealed his aura.
Unexpectedly, Lin Tianming could easily see through the disguise technique that he was so proud of. How could this not frighten him?
But when he thinks about his identity being exposed, if his enemies find out, he will definitely be in a lot of trouble, and may even be in danger of his life.
Thinking of this, the old man in black was not going to let the two of them go, and decided to kill them here so that he would not be exposed.
"They actually found out. It seems that these two people can't stay. If they run out, there will be endless troubles!"
Making up his mind, he looked gloomy and took out a shiny golden item from his storage bag. He holds the small seal in his hand, ready to take action at any time.
Seeing the old man's reaction, Lin Tianming and Lin Tianming also looked like they were facing a formidable enemy.
Lin Tianming held the Tiangang Sword tightly in his hand, with a prepared expression. Lin Shilu held his spiritual sword and stared at Gu Tong warily.
The two sides were in a stalemate with each other, and no one dared to act rashly.
For a moment, the atmosphere was tense.
