Chapter 124 Tiankeng
The next day, early morning.
The deeper you go into the mountains, the thicker the morning fog becomes.
Starting from Luoxia Chengfang City, we go deep into the Xiling Mountains for thousands of miles, where the fog is dark and the clouds are deep.
A small swamp appeared very abruptly among the overlapping mountains.
On the hill near the edge of the swamp, there is an old mulberry forest growing. Three or two drops of dew dotted on the delicate mulberry leaves, welcoming the arrival of the rising sun.
Suddenly.
A wave of spiritual power spread out from the depths of the swamp, stirring up the mist shrouding the depths of the swamp.
The wind and waves stirred up also shook the dewdrops off the mulberry leaves.
Looking towards the swamp.
A figure dressed in black and wrapped in tight clothes was fighting with a crocodile monster covered in spikes.
Not only did the man not expose a single finger, he even wore a hat on his head.
Its body is very strong, and he fought hand-to-hand with the monster, and he fought back and forth without losing the slightest bit.
The crocodile is no ordinary monster. It is more than five feet long, and its fangs are almost longer than an adult's calf.
Each roll causes mud and water to splash in the swamp.
The purple miasma in his mouth was puffed out and sprayed onto the vegetation growing around the swamp along the way, immediately turning them into black water.
It would be quite troublesome for an ordinary monk to take a sip or have his body touched.
However, the mist had no effect on the man in black.
He ran headlong into the miasma and threw a punch in the air, carrying the biting cold air.
Bang! The force of the fist reached the body, and the crocodile's huge body fell down with a sound, slamming into the mud, splashing mud all over the sky.
His eyes moved to the location where the fist struck, covered with crystal white frost.
"Roar!" The crocodile roared angrily as it was in pain, struggled to get up from the mud, and pounced on the man in black again.
The edge of the battle area between one person and one beast.
Kong Ji stood with his legs in the mud and watched the battle coldly.
Seeing that the monster stood up again, he gave a pertinent evaluation.
"The monster's physique is really terrifying. Such a powerful punch still did not cause fatal damage to this Yanglun Bajing Poisonous Takimist Crocodile."
After finishing speaking, Kong Geng looked at the man in black again and gave him a higher evaluation.
"The strength of the puppet refining is even more terrifying. This powerful puppet refining body is probably not under the ordinary physical cultivation of the eighth realm of Yanglun, and is affected by my frost and snow essence. Every punch is With cold air."
"The physical body and the cold air are combined into one, and the effect is one plus one, greater than two."
The man in black is the refining puppet that Kong Jin has just completed. , Xiling.
Although his physical strength is still far behind that of Yuan Xiao, who had been refined by the evil dragon.
But compared to ordinary physical training, it is not inferior.
Coupled with the influence of Kong Zhen's frost and snow essence, it is really not easy for ordinary cultivators in the eighth level of Yang Lun to defeat his puppet.
In addition, Liangu can't feel pain, so once the battle begins, he will fight to the death.
It can definitely intimidate opponents in battle.
"Unfortunately, the blood of the demon beasts used is only from the seventh level of Yanglun. If it were replaced with the blood of the demonic beast from the ninth level of Yanglun, I am afraid that the strength of this puppet refining can be improved a bit." Kong Ji watched the battle. , while lamenting the imperfections in making the puppet this time.
But even so, it’s already pretty good.
Able to challenge the eight realm monsters of Yang Lun at close quarters, this puppet can definitely become his own outstanding thug.
After watching the battle for a long time, and seeing that he could not attack for a long time, Kong Chi no longer stood idly by and watched.
“We can’t tell the winner for a while. If we continue fighting like this, don’t break my puppet.”
Muttering in his mouth, Kong Zhen took out the silver bow from the Qiankun pouch, while Lian Puppet and Poison Taki Mist Crocodile were fighting fiercely.
Look for the opportunity and shoot an arrow at the softest abdominal area of the Mist Crocodile.
Phew! The arrow traced a brilliant trajectory in the air.
With a long arc of ice blue, it instantly reached the front of the Poisonous Mist Crocodile.
Archery Chasing Stars!
Boom! The star-chasing arrow hit the poisoned Takigiri Crocodile's belly, and it erupted with a roar like a drum.
Although Poisonous Mist Crocodile's body is strong, its abdomen is its naturally weak point after all. In the end, it was unable to withstand Kong's star-chasing arrow, and the arrow penetrated directly through its abdomen.
A terrifying cold force erupted at the wound, instantly freezing the Poisonous Mist Crocodile's internal organs.
"Woo!" The Poisonous Mist Crocodile let out a shrill scream, trying to turn around and run away in pain.
Lian Puppet didn't give it a chance to escape at all. He hugged the Poisonous Mist Crocodile's tail, lifted its nearly five-foot-long body, and smashed it into the mud.
puff! The poisonous fog crocodile kept spraying blood with ice residue from its mouth.
Under the crazy beating of Lian Puppet, his eyes gradually lost their vitality and finally became completely scattered.
“Stop!” Kong Ji’s consciousness moved and he gave the order to stop the attack.
Lian Puppet silently put down the tail of the Poisonous Mist Crocodile and stepped aside.
The reason why Kong Xian asked Lian Puppet to stop was naturally to take its blood. If he swung it like that, all the monster's blood would be wasted.
However, it is naturally impossible to collect all the blood from such a large poisonous fog crocodile.
Kong Jin stepped forward and, following the formula for extracting the blood essence of monster beasts from the Divine Exercise Puppet, he made a seal on the wound on the abdomen of Poisonous Mist Crocodile that he had shot through. The demon blood all over Poisonous Mist Crocodile immediately condensed around the wound, forming a jar of crystal clear blood beads.
That is the blood essence of the monster beast, and it is also the essence of the monster beast.
After putting the blood essence of the monster beast into the jar, Kong Jin asked Lian Puppet to peel off the most valuable crocodile skin of Poisonous Mist Crocodile. That crocodile skin can be used to refine medium-sized magic weapons, and its value is Not cheap.
After doing this, Kong Zhi did not leave immediately, but slowly walked into the depths of the swamp with the Lian Puppet in his hands.
Actually, this is not the only way to get to the destination, so he deliberately chose a detour.
The first is to test how strong Lian Puppet's actual combat ability is.
The second reason is because he noticed that there is a kind of elixir called blue crystal grass in the swamp, which is one of the materials for refining the Little Breakthrough Pill.
Confucius has collected almost all the other elixirs for refining the Little Broken Mirror Pill during this period, except for this Orchid Crystal Grass.
The reason why Little Broken Mirror Pill is so precious has a lot to do with the rarity of Blue Crystal Grass.
Anyway, Cangwu Sect’s Lingcaotang does not sell orchid grass.
The yield of Blue Crystal Grass is not high. In such a swamp, there are only three plants growing next to the lair of the Poisonous Mist Crocodile.
The shape of the leaves of blue crystal grass is somewhat similar to the veins of rice leaves in the seedling stage.
But if you observe carefully, you will find that there is blue crystal fluorescence in the veins of the orchid grass, which is the sign of the orchid grass.
"Three orchid crystal grasses can be used to make three furnaces of small broken mirror pills." After storing the orchid crystal grass in a jade box specially used to hold elixirs, Kong Jiang left with satisfaction.
He has to rush to the depths of Xiling, and this detour is entirely for these three orchid crystal grasses.
While walking, Kong Ji glanced at Lian Puppet who was following him.
The black clothes and bamboo hat were deliberately put on by him.
In this way, it would be difficult for others to see his identity as a puppeteer. At most, he would be classified as a type of monk with a withdrawn personality.
Kong Xian also thought about putting the Lian Puppet away.
But after careful consideration, we decided to use him as an open card.
The defensive power of its puppet body is very good. When necessary, it can also help it block magic weapons and Taoist magic.
Compared with hiding it, it is obviously more convenient for Kong Jiang's future actions to be exposed.
Kong Ji seemed to have thought of something fun, and smiled at Lian Puppet: "You will be my eldest brother from now on."
"Yes!" Under the bamboo hat, Lian Puppet issued a low response.
Of course, Lian Puppet’s voice was also produced under the control of Kong Ji’s spiritual consciousness.
Its body is already dead, how can it respond to Kong Jiang.
"Unfortunately, my current Jin Ming Divine Refining Technique can barely control one low-level refining puppet. If I could have a few more, I could form a troupe." Kong Ji thought happily.
As Kong Ji leaves the swamp, he returns to the main route.
You can clearly see more traces of human activities along the way.
That's why Kong Jiang didn't follow those people.
So many monks are rushing towards one place, and they cannot rise into the air like the powerful ascending wheel, so they will inevitably leave traces on the ground.
After another day of walking like this, Kong Jiang finally reached his destination at noon on the third day.
Standing on the towering peaks.
Confucius stood beside him with an Lian Puppet.
His eyes widened slightly, looking at the huge sinkhole on the ground in front of him, which seemed to be the entrance to the underworld, suddenly appearing in his field of vision.
Phew!
The howling wind kept blowing out of the tiankeng, making Kong's clothes flutter.
The scope of the sinkhole is so huge that it is jaw-dropping. It is roughly estimated to be twenty miles in radius, which is several times larger than Luoxia City.
Looking down the sinkhole, you can only see a deep black, and you can't see the bottom at all.
It is like a huge mouth of the abyss, waiting for prey to enter.
The area around the Tiankeng has long been surrounded by monks, scattered here with the Tiankeng as the center.
The monks were wary of each other. Occasionally they communicated, but they would retreat after a few words. They all had a strong sense of caution.
The monks fought from time to time, and the onlookers booed each other.
This place should obviously be an inaccessible place, but now it is even more lively than Luoxia City.
“Could this sinkhole be the entrance to the Little Blessed Land in Xihuang?” After Kong Ji stood on the top of the mountain and looked around, he took out the parchment from the Qiankun bag and compared it repeatedly with the position of the sinkhole in front of him on the map. .
I was surprised to find that the geographical locations of the two are highly overlapped.
This made Kong Jiang’s face look even weirder.
"This tiankeng doesn't look like the entrance to a blessed land, and how do you get in? Jump in?"
The sight is fixed on the bottomless tiankeng.
The lower you go, the darker it becomes, and there is a strong wind that can make even monks lose their balance.
Even the geniuses on the Hidden Dragon List would not dare to go down into the sinkhole rashly.
No wonder those monks gathered on the tiankeng and did not dare to take a step.
"Maybe there is another turning point, let's go and take a look first." Standing there and taking a breath, Kong Xian walked towards the tiankeng with Lian Puppet.
Sorry for the late update! ! !
