Chapter 16 Killing the Jiao
“Here and this area are where the death energy and evil spirits gather. If we pass by, it will easily trigger the reaction of the evil dragon.”
“But In these areas, as long as we have the invisibility and concealment skills, it will be difficult to In order to detect us, in the final analysis, this formation is just a natural formation."
Cultivation of Immortal Baiyi, headed by the alchemy talisman formation, Chen Qingfeng is a second-level formation mage, using the technique of concealment. After walking around and observing Mangshan for a while, I had a clear understanding of the formation here.
Lu Cheng also learned a lot by following him. At least he understood how he was sensed by the big white-scaled snake before.
Before he gathered Yin Qi, he also chose the place where the death Qi and Yin evil gathered on the Python Mountain. It was like standing on the wind, and his "popularity" was smelled by the big snake in the formation.
Now avoid these auras and use charms and spells to reduce the auras on yourself and others. The possibility of being discovered by the big snake is very low unless you bump into them directly.
"Brother Chen, you are proficient in formations, so can we find the nest of the evil dragon? This way you can arrange the formations more calmly, while Qingyun and I are preparing to ambush."
Although with the cultivation and preparation of the three of them, even if they are killed head-on, they will not suffer too much loss, but it is also a good thing to save more spells and mana.
In real-life swordfighting, if you can reduce the winning rate to 91%, you will never only reduce it to 82%. The best thing is to have a 100% chance of winning without losing yourself.
"Okay, let me give it a try."
Chen Qingfeng also agreed with Lu Cheng's idea. He held a compass and began to observe and make calculations around him.
Although Lu Cheng has endless experience in martial arts and sword fighting, he felt a little nervous when he saw Chen Qingfeng like this, and secretly made up his mind that he would never fall into other people's formation easily in the future.
A monk practicing, except for the true disciples of prominent sects, must learn a variety of immortal cultivation skills to earn spiritual stones to support himself and exchange for various immortal cultivation resources.
Chen Qingfeng studied formations, while his sister Chen Qingyun studied talismans.
The predecessor, Lu Cheng, came from a prominent family. After becoming a disciple of the Red God Son, all training resources were provided by the master. The only purpose of training was to reach the foundation-building realm. Otherwise, if he wanted to help the master, he would even attack him. There is no mana.
Fortunately, Lu Cheng has read a lot of miscellaneous books, and has also done some research on spells and talismans. Otherwise, Lu Cheng would really be starting with a collapse difficulty.
“Found it.”
Just as Lu Cheng and Chen Qingyun were meditating and exchanging their talisman experiences, Chen Qingfeng, who had been walking around for more than four hours, finally gave a Palm, determine the direction.
“I have roughly found three locations where the evil dragon may open its nest, and I am 70 to 80% sure. Let’s go explore it first and see if we can have a chance to ambush it.”
< br>
Chen Qingfeng's formation cultivation was pretty good, or the three of them were lucky.
There are three locations in Mangshan where evil dragons may open their nests, but only the first one allowed the three of them to pounce and miss.
When they arrived at the second place, the scalding foehn wind blowing towards their faces made the three of them look at each other and feel that they had found the right place.
“That evil dragon is an earth monster. This python mountain is just because of the bad habits of the Southern Barbarians, which caused the gathering of death and evil spirits but insufficient spiritual energy. It has been entrenched here for hundreds of years and built a nest. Naturally, it will take more. Some fire spirits, To make myself more comfortable.”
Even if it is not for the sake of cultivation, out of the instinct of earth monsters, they will collect fire spiritual objects and place them in their lairs if possible. Fire aids earth.
The three people in Lu Cheng looked at each other with excitement in their eyes.
"Go right in. If the evil dragon is inside, use the fire and thunder beads to block it directly. If it is not inside, we will take away the spiritual object first and then ambush it."
< br>The white-scaled snake is huge, it The snake path they usually walk on is also very wide, so it is not difficult for the three of them to go down. However, the further they go down, the stronger the foehn wind and the higher the temperature. If all three of them are not protected by magic, even if ordinary people find this place, once they find it, If you go deeper, I'm afraid it will soon turn into a charred corpse.
Luckily, the big white-scaled snake is not in the lair. At the deepest point of the tunnel, there is a cave with an underground river flowing.
Next to the underground waterfall, on the earth and rocks in the center of the cave, there are many iron stones and plants with a red halo placed on them, forming a spiritual pile together.
In the center of the spiritual pile are some white snake eggs.
“It’s not a loss even if we use Fire Thunder Beads this time. Although most of them are fire-elements, there are also some valuable fire-based spiritual objects in them.”
When the three of them approached the spiritual pile, a large group of huge bats suddenly flew down from above the cave. However, they did not attack the three of them, but flew away in all directions.
“Those are Yin bats. They can only survive in places where Yin evil spirits gather. In other words, this is almost a natural formation eye.”
Chen Qingfeng watched those flying away. The Yin Bat said so.
"Brother, Senior Brother Lu, do you think these snake eggs can still hatch? Let's pick the three best-looking ones and raise them into spirit beasts, right?"
Chen Qingyun has arrived at the Lingdui lair. He leaned over and looked at the snake eggs, then turned around and asked with interest.
The white-scaled snake itself is already between the second and third levels. If its blood descendants are well cultivated, there is a high probability of being promoted to the third level, which is also valuable to the three people present. high.
Lu Cheng stepped forward and stared at the pile of snake eggs and frowned slightly. He picked up one of them and pointed it at the skylight at the top of the cave.
"Dead eggs, dead eggs, still dead eggs, these are almost all dead eggs... This one seems to be alive."
Lu Cheng finally turned to the snake eggs in the pile of spirits. There was a snake egg with warm tentacles. It was pressed under the other snake eggs. He picked it up and faced the skylight. There seemed to be a small translucent dark red snake shaking inside. one time.
Lu Cheng's eyesight was very good, and he could faintly see that this tiny little snake seemed to have undulating peaks at the corners of its head.
"This is a dragon? No, the snake gave birth to a dragon!"
"This doesn't seem to be its offspring. This one should be used to devour. That evil dragon is here For hundreds of years in this territory, with the help of the death energy and Yin evil forces in this place, the potential of the blood vessels was unleashed to create this fire. The dragon spirit seed, but it does not want to breed heirs, but wants to eat it to purify its own bloodline."
Chen Qingfeng is proficient in formations and has read a lot before taking over the fire dragon spirit seed from Lu Cheng. Finally, he looked at the sky and looked at it for a while, but finally shook his head and said:
"It doesn't have enough vitality to hatch at all, and without the nourishment of these fire-based spiritual creatures, it will soon lose its activity and be of little value to us."
Chen Qingfeng shook his head with great pity, and then He handed the spiritual seed back to Lu Cheng, because he had discovered it and it was of little value.
Strictly speaking, this is a third-level spiritual seed. Unfortunately, it cannot be hatched and will die immediately if it is not nourished by a large number of fire-based spiritual creatures.
Except for the evil dragon that can purify its own bloodline by swallowing source blood, this thing is almost meaningless to other immortal cultivators.
“Can’t you survive at all?”
Lu Cheng looked at the Chen family brothers and sisters who were collecting ores and elixirs beside the spirit pile, and then looked at the fire dragon spirit seed in his hand.
A small cyan cauldron suddenly appeared on his right hand. With the push of its magic power, the lid of the small cyan cauldron opened and revealed an extremely weak golden light, sucking in the white egg on his left hand. Then, Lu Cheng, like the Chen brothers and sisters, began to search for valuable spiritual objects on the spiritual pile.
Because they are two siblings, and there is only one brother, Lu Cheng, the Chen family brothers and sisters deliberately set aside an area for Lu Cheng to avoid inviting people to come and help him. The food looks too ugly.
Just as the three of them were collecting most of the valuable spiritual objects in the spirit pile area, according to their experience, there was a faint vibration and low roar from outside.
"You came back quickly enough. It seems that those Yin Bats have a message function." Chen Qingfeng flicked the array flags into the spiritual energy nodes of the surrounding stone walls with a wave of his hand, and said at the same time:
"Qingyun, we were just busy collecting spiritual objects. We didn't make any preparations. Why don't we just use the fire thunder beads?"
Just those spiritual objects just now were enough for the brother and sister to harvest five to six hundred dollars. A piece of spiritual stone. These are not counting the gains from killing the evil dragon.
"It depends on the situation. If the situation is critical, there is no need to economize."
This was Lu Cheng's answer for Chen Qingyun as he unsheathed his sword. Some of the spiritual objects around the spiritual pile just now were elixirs. In the previous situation, they must be collected first. Otherwise, after a chaotic battle, all these elixirs would be crushed into mud, which would be a huge loss.
"Roar!"
In order to give birth to the fire dragon spirit seed, this big snake worked hard for a hundred years, and it was about to succeed. It successfully purified its blood and advanced to the third level.
Now it was taken away from its lair, so that when it threw itself into the cave, the body as thick as a small truck let out a terrifying roar, opened its mouth, and sprayed out the breath of filthy earth accumulated in the body. come out.
However, Lu Cheng, who was standing in front of the Chen brothers and sisters, had already taken the lead in activating the three Red Sun Hand-Spiral Blazing Fire Talisman.
The small seal script Qingfeng Talisman, the Golden Blade Evil Killing Talisman, the Red Yang Palm Flame Fire Talisman, the Black Gold Armor Talisman, and the Invisibility Concealing Qi Talisman are the second-level high-grade talismans used by the predecessor Lu Cheng to use the Fire Cloud Mansion Technique. After the replacement, he only had about five cards of each type. At this moment, Lu Cheng directly inspired three cards.
Three red sun-like fire beads hit the foul earth breath spewed out by the white-scaled snake in a "pin" shape, causing a loud explosion.
Because it was closest to the big snake, the fire and smoke almost enveloped it, and all the damage was borne by it. This is accurate prediction and proactive attack.
It is a pity that most monsters are rough-skinned and fleshy. Although the vital parts of the head were injured by the flaming talisman mixed with its own foul earth breath, this degree did not cause the white-scaled snake to be fatal. trauma.
Just the fierce light in its eyes flashed, and some mental clarity was restored in the urgency.
The huge figure dived down, and the big snake landed on the land and activated its magical power. The whole body seemed to merge into the water quickly, intending to kill these intruders by taking advantage of the geographical location surrounded by rocks.
"So fast!"
The Chen family brothers and sisters were a little frightened when they saw the speed of this monster's earth escape for the first time.
The Way of Heaven indeed makes up for its shortcomings. Although the cultivation of monsters and beasts is not as fast as that of human monks, the control of innate magic and magical powers and even the longevity of life are incomparable to human monks.
Lu Cheng closed his eyes and allowed his body and mind to enter a state of ultimate concentration.
In fact, this was also the first real fight in his life: life and death, neither side had the slightest leeway.
However, Lu Cheng felt that his whole body was trembling with excitement, as if burning blood was pouring out from the bottom of his heart!
This intense excitement between life and death is something that cannot be simulated in virtual online games no matter how realistic the technology is.
"Roar."
The big white-scaled snake suddenly jumped out from under the earth and rocks, as easily as jumping out of the water, and rushed straight towards Chen Qingyun, who was still a little unable to react.
Facing the huge mouth that suddenly appeared in front of him, with its scarlet snake letters and sharp teeth, Chen Qingyun heard his brother's exclamation, but he had not yet responded.
He saw a dark shadow suddenly passing in front of him.
But it was Lu Cheng who blessed himself with the Qingfeng Talisman. The Qingqi whirlwind surrounded him and accelerated his movements, allowing Lu Cheng to save Chen Qingyun in time after successfully identifying the target of the big snake's attack.
Hold the female cultivator's waist and drag her away from danger.
“This evil dragon is much more ferocious than we expected. If Qingyun had hit him hard just now, even if he had a magic weapon to protect his body, he would not have died on the spot, but he would have lost the battle immediately. Ability, serious injury"
"Turned into golden formation, rise!"
With the activation of Chen Qingfeng's formation, the formation flags at the surrounding spiritual nodes all diffused spiritual light. It spread quickly, dyeing the surrounding mud and rocky ground a golden color.
"Roar."
The big white-scaled snake wanted to continue to bite Lu Cheng and Chen Qingyun, but when it stretched out half of its body, it was suddenly pulled away.
The land around it turned into gold, and the earth and rocks were transformed into gold in a short period of time. Of course, the earth escape technique was ineffective. It even temporarily embedded the white-scaled snake in place.
"The golden blade kills the evil talisman and attacks it within seven inches."
The seven-inch mark is the fatal vital point of a snake. It is located below the head and above the abdomen, roughly at the heart. Hitting the seven-inch mark means hitting the snake's vital point, which can kill the snake immediately.
As for the Golden Blade Evil Killing Talisman, Lu Cheng also knew that Chen Qingyun had it in previous exchanges. This kind of talisman has a good armor-breaking effect among low-level talismans.
With the activation of the talisman, two golden light blades overlapped in front of Lu Cheng and Chen Qingyun, and both slashed at the big snake controlled by the golden dungeon formation.
Stab it.
The golden blade passed by, and dark red blood spurted out.
Two second-level high-grade talismans, even if they hit seven inches, are not enough to kill the white-scaled snake.
But it was enough. Lu Cheng put down Chen Qingyun to activate the invisibility talisman. In the eyes of the Chen family brothers and sisters, Senior Brother Lu was charging with a sword. The whole person went through a somewhat twisted trajectory and rushed to the big snake. .
But from the perspective of the white-scaled snake, the human monk who posed the greatest threat to it disappeared in an instant!
The key to sword fighting is to avoid the real and attack the weak.
For Lu Cheng, who was once the number one sword fighting maniac in the Jiutian World, avoiding the opponent's sight and killing him with one sword is almost a technique that has been integrated into his own instinct.
When the white-scaled snake saw the young Taoist again, he had suddenly appeared in front of it, controlling the flying sword, and stabbed it diagonally from bottom to top, deeply piercing the seven-inch vital part of its body that had already broken through the scales. .
