Chapter 873: Strangeness at the Bottom of the Lake
An ancient beast hiding in the lake?
Li Qing's pupils suddenly shrank. Flying in the air, he had no time to avoid being devoured by this ancient beast.
Unable to even see the appearance of this savage beast clearly, Li Qing only felt that the light around him suddenly darkened, and then there was a burning and slippery feeling on his body.
He was actually swallowed by this ancient beast that suddenly appeared!
"What a terrifying explosive force, there is no way to avoid it!" Li Qing exclaimed as he fell into the beast's mouth, and then he felt a squeeze, and his whole body suddenly fell without weight.
This ancient savage beast swallowed Li Qing into its belly in one bite without even chewing.
Li Qing, who was in the belly of the ancient beast, was about to use his magic power to kill the ancient beast from the inside, but at the next moment, the entire dark space completely suppressed him.
"Good guy, you are planning to refine me directly in your belly. What a huge appetite." Li Qing's eyes flashed and he gritted his teeth and whispered.
The stomach pouch of this savage beast is very strange. It actually has a suppressive effect on spiritual power. It is very difficult to activate mana inside, as if you are in a quagmire.
Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of waves in the dark space.
Strongly corrosive gastric juice surged in. At just the moment of contact, Li Qing felt waves of burning and stinging sensations coming from his skin.
Feeling his current situation, Li Qing finally knew what kind of ancient beast had swallowed him up.
“The spirit-eating beast looks like a hippopotamus, but has a bone carapace around its body. It is good at devouring all things to strengthen itself. Even many precious spiritual gold cannot stop this refining.”< br>
"What a bad luck. If I can't get out in a short time, I'm afraid I will be completely refined."
Li Qing sighed. He didn't expect to encounter such an extremely difficult ancient beast as soon as he entered the Tianguang Secret Realm.
In his belly, not only was it difficult for him to activate the magic power in his body, but even the vitality between heaven and earth was completely isolated, and he could not sense the existence of the vitality of heaven and earth at all.
In addition, Li Qing's strength was also passing away quickly in this sticky gastric juice package, and his physical strength could not have much effect.
Obviously, this spirit-eating beast was extremely well-prepared and used this method to kill many powerful beings without any disadvantage, without worrying about the prey breaking through its body.
No matter how dangerous the situation was, Li Qing quickly calmed down his thoughts and entered an unusually calm state.
He analyzed his current situation in the shortest possible time and then made a judgment.
“The spirit-eating beast is indestructible internally, but it can be easily killed by attacking from the outside.”
“No wonder he hides himself in the lake. This guy is really cunning. . ”
Thoughts in Li Qing’s mind flashed quickly, and he immediately came up with two ways to break the situation.
The first way is to wait for rescue. Spend time in the belly of the spirit-eating beast. As long as someone from the outside world discovers the spirit-eating beast in the lake, they can easily kill it. kill.
Because the spirit-eating beast is in its most vulnerable state during the process of refining the food in its belly, human monks of the same level can easily kill it.
“I’m afraid this method isn’t very practical. The location I fall into in the Tianguang Secret Realm is random, so it’s hard to guarantee that there will be other friendly beings near me.”
“And this spirit-eating beast It's so cunning that even my consciousness couldn't detect its existence when it was hidden at the bottom of the lake."
Li Qing rejected this method immediately. Compared with the hard work, it was tantamount to waiting for death. .
The second method is to give up resistance immediately, let yourself encounter a life and death crisis, and then use the corpse puppets brought from the lower world to resist a death disaster for yourself.
But Li Qing didn't know whether he could escape from the closed stomach space after the corpse puppet blocked him from death once.
"This method should be effective. Even if I can't escape from its belly, I can still use the corpse puppet to trick the spirit-eating beast into stopping refining me."
"After that, all you need to do is use your strongest means to kill this spirit-eating beast in an instant."
But in this way, a precious surrogate corpse will be lost.
Li Qing only has two of these things that are equivalent to his second life. One of them was knocked out by the Taoist body of the Wuxiang Saint Ancestor on the way to ascension. He was a little reluctant to use it. above this.
Besides, the stomach pouch of this spirit-eating beast is an excellent thing and can be used to refine some special exotic treasures!
So, he decided to use the third method!
These thoughts all flashed by in an instant. It seemed like a long time passed, but it was just a flash of lightning.
In an instant, Li Qing made a decision.
In the belly of the spirit-eating beast, he cannot use magic powers and physical power, so he still has a third power!
The long-lost Kunpeng magic suddenly started to circulate in his body, and the thick Kunpeng divine power circulated in his body.
唳~!
A sharp neighing sound like the mourning of a thousand birds resounded in the belly of the spirit-eating beast, and the powerful Kunpeng divine power surged out of Li Qing's body.
"Kunpeng Botian Tu!"
At this moment, all the gastric juice attached to Li Qing's body was shaken open, and Kunpeng's unique power burst out from his body.
In the belly of the spirit-eating beast, a Kunpeng seemed to be churning endlessly, and a series of killing techniques were unleashed.
Not long after, at the bottom of the lake that had just returned to tranquility, a huge spirit-eating beast opened its eyes, with fear in its pupils.
For so many years, its unstoppable methods encountered an existence that it could not swallow smoothly for the first time.
"Roar!"
The spirit-eating beast roared in pain and wanted to vomit Li Qing out. The severe pain from its abdomen made it unbearable.
But it was too late, his body was suddenly pierced by a Kunpeng claw, which was formed by Li Qing's palm.
Immediately afterwards, the palm that looked like a Kunpeng claw retracted, and then stretched out again.
Kunpeng probed his claws, but this time, Li Qing directly crushed the soul-eating beast's heart, and other organs were also shattered by Kunpeng's divine power.
Soon, the bottom of the lake was dyed with thick scarlet blood, and the soul-eating beast's vitality quickly disappeared.
After feeling that the magic power in his body was no longer suppressed, Li Qing rushed out immediately.
He looked at the blood-stained bottom of the lake, with a look of distress in his eyes. This was all the true blood of wild beasts, and he could probably sell it for a pretty good price when he took it back to Xuan Ancient City.
Fortunately, his essence and blood were in his body and were not lost immediately, otherwise Li Qing would be extremely distressed.
Without saying anything, he immediately put the dead spirit-eating beast into a storage bag, not letting its true blood flow away and be wasted.
“This harvest is pretty good. I directly killed a spirit-eating beast that was equivalent to the late stage of becoming a god. Its blood essence and stomach bag are both worth a lot of money.”
“The only one. It's a pity that the stomach bag is already damaged. If it is to be refined into a rare treasure later, I'm afraid it will be defective and it will take more effort."
If he can kill this spirit-eating beast from the outside, he should be able to harvest a complete stomach bag, and then even with a little refinement, he can turn it into a powerful exotic treasure.
Once the opponent is included in this rare treasure, I am afraid that the sky will not respond and the earth will not work.
It is difficult to use both magical power and physical powers, unless he is like Li Qing, who has the third kind of powerful killing power.
For example, some monks with special physiques, or powerful races like the True Spirit Kunpeng, who have exclusive blood inheritance. "Actually, the ultimate divine soul attack and kill technique can also break the situation, but although I have been nourishing the divine soul these years, I have not cultivated any powerful divine soul attack and kill technique."
< br>
"Now that I have time, I have to find a way to make up for this!"
After doing all this and confirming the results of the battle, Li Qing was ready to leave the blood-stained bottom of the lake.
But soon he stopped and continued to dive, reaching the bottom of the rugged lake.
There is not a single fish swimming here, and the surrounding area is scarlet, with the lake water stained with the true blood of the spirit-eating beast.
Li Qing discovered that the lake water with blood did not continue to spread, but slowly settled towards the bottom of the lake.
"Has all this blood been absorbed? There is something strange at the bottom of the lake!"
Li Qing, who used Kunpeng's magic, now transformed into the form of Youkun, and could move freely in the water without being affected at all.
He quietly watched the blood-stained lake go deep into the ground, and finally disappeared.
I saw that the water level of the entire lake had dropped a lot, and it had seeped into the unknown bottom of the lake.
After all the blood-stained lake water had penetrated cleanly, the surrounding area returned to clarity, and the bottom of the lake filled with silt below also revealed a simple pattern.
6◇9◇书◇Bar
“It’s really strange. Today is a blessing in disguise.”
“But these true blood alone may not be enough to open the bottom of the lake. It needs to be more secretive!”
Li Qing naturally couldn’t bleed himself, so he took out a white jade porcelain bottle.
What is inside is Huang Pizi's blood essence. A fifth-level god-transformation stage Huang Pizi only extracted three bottles of blood essence.
It was worth a lot of money. When the young master of the Hou family in Xuan Ancient City came to force him to buy it, he didn't sell it because he had other uses for keeping the blood essence.
To unlock the secrets at the bottom of the lake, more real blood might be needed. Li Qing simply took out a bottle of yellow-skinned blood essence and poured it out carefully.
This essence and blood did not spread like ordinary blood. Even if it fell into the lake, it still maintained the complete appearance of a drop of essence and blood and did not dissolve in the water.
As a bottle of essence and blood was poured out, the ancient veins and traces on the bottom of the lake absorbed all the essence and blood.
Soon, a layer of halo spread out, and a hole appeared in the center of the lake bottom, like a giant beast opening its bloody mouth.
A large amount of lake water poured into it, and a whirlpool appeared on the lake.
Seeing this, Li Qing rushed directly into the opening that looked like the mouth of a giant beast. After entering, he used his own magic power to seal the opening so that the lake water would no longer flow in.
He was afraid that when the lake dried up, it would attract other people who entered the Tianguang Secret Realm to investigate.
“It really takes blood to unlock the secrets at the bottom of the lake. If ordinary beasts were lurking at the bottom of the lake, they would have noticed the abnormalities at the bottom of the lake long ago.”
“But The spirit-swallowing beast is different. This ancient beast eats people without spitting out bones. Not to mention blood, there is not even a hair left, and it is completely refined directly in the stomach pouch. "
After entering the entrance to the bottom of the lake, Li Qing spoke with anticipation in his eyes.
This entrance is very deep. After isolating the lake water above, you can still hear the sound of the water flowing into the lake below.
After a long time, an underground chamber appeared in Li Qing's sight, where all the water had seeped out.
Before Li Qing could move, the stone door of this basement opened on its own.
Boom!
When Li Qing saw the situation inside, his heart skipped a beat.
The first thing that catches the eye is a transparent crystal coffin, inside which lies a withered skeleton. This withered skeleton is dressed in gorgeous clothes and has not decayed after countless years.
“Hiss!”
“I’m afraid this is the real golden jade garment. Compared with this, the golden jade garment I refined in the lower realm is nothing.”
The gorgeous clothes worn by this withered skeleton looked like they were woven with gold threads, and there was also a layer of inner armor like Nine Heavens Mysterious Jade attached to it. The whole thing was completely natural, and there was no trace of any refining.
"At least it's a Xuan-grade spiritual treasure. No, it might even be an Earth-grade spiritual treasure!"
Li Qing made a judgment immediately, and the burning in his eyes became a little more intense.
He couldn't help but stepped forward and wanted to open this transparent crystal coffin!
But before he could touch the coffin lid with his hand, he felt a sharp pain in the palm of his hand.
At this time, he realized that the crystal coffin was not suspended in the air by itself, but was suspended in the air by transparent and tough silk threads.
"It is actually a specially refined crystal silk. I am afraid that the spiritual materials must be repeatedly hammered and refined hundreds of thousands of times to be able to refine such a silk thread."
"This kind of weapon refining technique, It’s really unheard of.”
At this moment, Li Qing didn’t dare to move around anymore. These crystal threads were so tough and sharp that even his physical body couldn’t resist them.
Just now he just touched it slightly with his hand, and a bloodstain appeared on his palm.
“It’s such a strange way of refining weapons into silk. Even the consciousness cannot easily detect the existence of these silk threads.”
"It is definitely the best raw material to use as a concealed weapon to hurt people."
"I wonder if such a weapon refining method is hidden in this basement."
>Yes, in addition to this transparent crystal coffin, there is also a stone table in the basement, on which there are volumes of things like notebooks.
These notes have been weathered for who knows how many years. If there is even the slightest disturbance, they will probably turn into ashes.
So Li Qing did not dare to act carelessly, but instead used his spiritual consciousness to memorize the contents of the scroll in his mind.
"Some of them are in the common language of the spirit world, and some of the runes are very weird, and I can't understand what they mean at all."
"Ignore it, just write them all down for future research."
>
The last article in the volume of manuscripts written in the common language of the spirit world reads:
"I have a premonition that my death is imminent. It seems that my grievances have not been washed away in the end. Until now, no one of my clan has come to release me and return my mana and cultivation."
"I am not willing to give in. Could it be that Is there no one who has reversed the verdict for me? It’s not fair that I bear all the sins alone.”
"Have they forgotten me after so many years? The promise I made back then."
"Haha, it seems that I actually buried myself in this crystal coffin that I made with my own hands, and the only burial objects were this. A gold-lined garment. "
"It's really ridiculous."
The note only left these words at the end. Even after an unknown number of years, Li Qing could still feel the weight of the owner in the coffin. unwillingness and regret.
