Chapter 373: Life hanging by a thread
Half a year later.
Inside the secret passage.
The top-level beast spirit treasure Hunyuan Gun in Shen Ping's hand bloomed with layers of blood-colored light. A large number of special bugs like fireflies turned into pieces like moths flying into the flame when they encountered the blood-colored light.
Take the dazzling beast blood crystal.
Yin Ting couldn't help but smile and said, "This is the fifteenth one. There are indeed more beast blood essences in the middle area than in the dark area. In just half a year, we have obtained ten. If we continue at this rate, maybe in the remaining time You can harvest hundreds of them.”
Her cold and beautiful eyes were full of expectation.
The effect of beast blood essence is much stronger than that of beast blood heavenly liquid. If there are hundreds of them, I am afraid that it will be easy to comprehend the level of scales. But now, the strongest among all the beast spirit geniuses. It's the level of scales.
“I’d like to lend you your kind words.”
“Let’s keep working hard.”
Shen Ping put away the Hunyuan Gun and continued to move forward with Yin Ting. Although the number of bugs near the beast blood crystal in the middle area had increased a lot and the defense capabilities had been strengthened, during the past six months while he and Yin Ting were searching, By the way, he has mastered the first blood light of the Hunyuan Gun. With such a powerful form, no matter how many bugs there are, it won't be a problem.
Twenty.
Twenty-five.
Forty... In the past three years since arriving in the palace cave world, the two of them have obtained forty pieces of beast blood essence. This harvest is more than the combined total of the talented teams of the Demon Clan, Yan Clan and other races. This is because the exploration range of the two people is limited. If the eyes of the sea beast can cover the entire cave, then Shen Ping will get more beast blood essence.
……
middle area.
The team of geniuses of the Spirit Clan only obtained four beast blood essences in three years, and also lost more than ten geniuses. This is already a big loss for the Spirit Clan. There is no way, in the middle area There are too many bugs, and the power of the third form of the high-level beast spirit treasure cannot kill them immediately. Even if more than ten people in the team attack collectively, it is difficult to kill them all, so losses are inevitable.
However, the geniuses of the spirit race are quite satisfied with being able to get four, especially the strong ones. This means that they can also get the essence of beast blood, instead of just giving one to Linghao.
"Be careful!"
"If you encounter the essence of animal blood again, you must not be careless at all..."
"Look in front of you, there are beast blood essences, three pills, three pills!!"
An Eldar team that lost two ordinary geniuses entered a secret passage that day, and all the team members were Excited, they didn’t expect to see three!
“Wait a minute, the number of bugs around the three beast blood essences may be even greater. With the strength of our team, they might all die here, so we should inform Linghao and the others immediately!”
"This...there are three of them. If Linghao is notified, even if he gets it in the end, we won't have a share!"
"Yes, the essence of animal blood is a rare thing in the world. , We are only inferior to Linghao in terms of comprehension level. If we can have the essence of beast blood, we may not be able to reach his level, and we can even worship the emperor as our teacher!"
Hear the last sentence.
The temporary captain of the team was moved. He gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, let's give it a try, but we have agreed in advance that if there is any danger, Linghao must be notified immediately!"
So The thirteen geniuses prepared as if they were facing a formidable enemy. They deployed all means such as fairy formations, puppets, defensive beast spirit treasures, etc. Although these things could not cause harm to the bugs, they could delay them for some time, and as long as there were more With just one breath, they can activate the power of the third form of the advanced beast spirit treasure to kill all the bugs that come towards them.
“Go!”
The Spirit Race is not good at immortal skills, and they don’t have much research on puppets. However, they all have fairy puppets, but they are just rough compared to the human race. The combat power is of little help.
With the movement of three beast blood essences.
The surface of the nearby secret passage suddenly shone brightly, covering an area of dozens of feet.
The faces of these thirteen geniuses suddenly turned pale.
You must know that in the secret passage, all detection methods such as spiritual consciousness and mana are useless. Even if the immortal puppet encounters an insect, it will be instantly devoured and no residue will be left. The only way to take away the beast is to kill it. The blood essence needs to be obtained at close range, and like the one they encountered before, the light range of the bugs is only a few feet. They guessed that three bugs would be more, but they did not expect there to be so many.
“Escape!”
There was no hesitation.
The thirteen geniuses escaped at the fastest speed in their lives, and at the same time, they immediately sent a message to Linghao, the strongest genius of the Spirit Clan.
They reacted very quickly, but the narrow and winding passage affected their speed, but the bug was not affected at all, and soon caught up with the three people behind. The three struggled for a while, and finally Turned into blood.
However, their deaths bought some time for the rest.
Escape from death.
The remaining ten geniuses returned to the main passage and looked at the secret passage in front of them with lingering fear. These insects were really terrifying.
“Let’s wait for Linghao to come over.”
The temporary captain said helplessly.
......
At the moment when Linghao of the Spirit Race took away the three beast blood crystals, the maps of all the beast spirit geniuses changed, and there were five more lines on the map at the bottom. There are ten more secret passages on the top 100 maps, and there are twenty more secret passages on the top ten maps. These secret passages are all located in the branch areas of the main passage.
Yin Ting noticed the map changes and quickly reminded Shen Ping.
After reading the map.
These side roads are a bit far away from where the two of them are. They need to walk five or six side roads and it will take more than half a year to reach them.
To go or not to go.
The two had differences for the first time.
Shen Ping planned to go. Since there were changes, it meant that there must be animal blood essence in these new secret passages, but Yin Ting did not want to go, because in her opinion, there was no need to waste time. Anyway, they were exploring the vicinity along the main passage. You can also get a lot of animal blood essence from the secret passage.
More importantly, Yin Ting deduced that the geniuses of other tribes would most likely go to the Chadao area to explore, so they would have a chance of encountering them.
“Don’t worry, I have mastered the first layer of blood light. Even if I encounter the top ten most powerful geniuses, I can still save my life if I can’t defeat them. Besides, if I encounter them, just avoid them in advance.”
See what Shen Ping said.
Yin Ting had no choice but to agree to go to the Chadao area.
The two people immediately changed direction and followed the markings on the map to follow a bifurcated road on the left. During this period, Shen Ping used the Eyes of the Sea Beast to explore nearby secret passages from time to time. Unfortunately, they found nothing. After walking for seven months, the two finally arrived. New dark passage area.
And just arrived here.
Before Shen Ping could activate the strange beast talent to check, Yin Ting sensed a strange fluctuation.
“It’s the essence of animal blood!”
“I didn’t expect that the essence of animal blood in this area can be clearly sensed.”
Both were surprised.
Previously, the search for beast blood essence relied on Shen Ping's talent. If there was no Eye of the Sea Beast, then they would have to explore every secret passage like other genius teams. Not only is the efficiency low, but it is also easy to waste. time.
But here, the fluctuation of the beast blood essence is very strong.
Shen Ping hurriedly opened his talent.
Sure enough, there was a large number of insect energy auras in a dark passage ahead, covering a range of hundreds of feet, which frightened him greatly.
"Hundreds of feet?"
Yin Ting frowned, "Are you sure?"
"It's hard to say."
"Let's test it first."
The two of them came to the secret passage and walked in a zigzag manner for five or six days when they saw the essence of animal blood suspended in front of them. "Four!!"
“There are so many, no wonder the range of nearby insects exceeds a hundred feet!”
The two of them were surprised and happy.
Shen Ping said hurriedly: "You retreat to the entrance of the secret passage first."
There are so many insects. If the power of the first form of the top beast spirit treasure does not kill the insects, then It's troublesome.
He didn't want anything to happen to Yin Ting.
Yin Ting showed hesitation, but she also knew that staying here would only get in the way. After repeatedly reminding Shen Ping to be careful, she retreated to the entrance of the passage.
Chi.
When the animal blood crystals are shaking.
The cave wall flickered, and more than a million strange bugs were densely packed and overwhelmingly swept towards Shen Ping. The strange beast puppets were swallowed up immediately, and no traces were left.
Tsk tsk.
The blood lines on the tip of the Hunyuan Gun suddenly burst out with bloody light as the strange beast's mana was poured into it. Immediately, the surface of the Hunyuan Gun was surrounded by blood lines, and the blood light suddenly appeared like a sword light. Pierced the space in front of him, the cave wall collapsed, and a large number of insects were wiped out.
The power of this form, the blood light is just a kind of brilliance that bursts out when activated. Its real power is still in the gun body, but the blood light alone can kill the bugs, and there is no need for Shen Ping to use the spear again. .
See all the bugs annihilated.
Shen Ping breathed a sigh of relief. After easily taking away the beast blood essence, he returned to the entrance of the passage.
"The journey of more than half a year is finally worth it."
If we were in the main passage, with the previous efficiency, we could get more than ten beast blood essences in half a year, but judging from the four of them connected together, this time There is probably a lot of animal blood essence in the fork area.
The two of them did not dare to delay and continued walking towards the next secret passage.
Halfway.
The rich beast blood essence fluctuates continuously, but there is no secret passage nearby. However, Shen Ping can see the breath of insects in the distance with his talent.
"These secret passages should belong to other Tianjiao maps. If we go there, we have to take two detours."
There are many passages in the cave, and Shen Ping and Yin Ting's map is only a small area. , during this period, if they had not relied on the talent of strange beasts, the two of them would have missed a lot of beast blood essence in the middle area.
Yin Ting said, "The two roads are not far away and can be reached in seven or eight days. What you need to worry about is that if you rush there, you may encounter the geniuses of other tribes."
Shen Ping nodded. There are no other geniuses in his line of sight now, but it is not necessarily the case if he rushes over. Moreover, the cave environment is special, and the range that his strange beast talent can detect is affected. If he sees other geniuses, then other geniuses will basically His location can also be sensed through spiritual consciousness.
"You wait here, my escape speed is fast, I should be able to take away the beast blood essence before the other geniuses go."
After saying that, he activated strengthening and teleportation.
It takes seven or eight days to take a detour, but it only takes half a day for him to teleport.
And there are three beast blood essences in this secret passage.
No other genius entered that secret passage until they returned.
……
A few days later.
One of the teams of demon geniuses came to this secret passage.
There are still fluctuations in the magic power of strange beasts in the secret passage, and the cave wall has also been damaged a lot.
“Damn it, the prodigies of other races got there first!”
“At the main passage, other teams of our race only met once. Unexpectedly, we met in the side road area. In the end, Who is so efficient? ”
"Don't waste time, continue to the next secret passage. The beast blood essence in this branch area can be sensed. The competition will probably be fierce."
Not only the Demon Tribe, the Flame Tribe, the Monster Tribe, but also The secret passages marked on the maps of the Jie Clan and other geniuses were all visited by Shen Ping, which made them very angry, because judging from the destruction marks of the secret passages, there were more than three in them.
"It must be the Spirit Clan. Their Linghao ranks very high, and the map is more detailed than ours. There may be other shortcuts leading here."
"The abominable Jie Clan and Among the Stone Clan, they are the only ones ranked higher than our Spirit Clan.”
“These powerful tribes already occupied a lot of the top 10,000 people, but now they even want to grab the beast blood essence, and they can’t even let anyone live. ! ”
All tribes immediately became suspicious of each other. Even the four tribes of Monster Tribe, Demon Tribe, Flame Tribe, and Spirit Tribe were at odds with each other. After all, the essence of beast blood was extremely valuable.
The instigator, Shen Ping, was very excited. He really came to the right crossroads area. In just half a year, he had obtained more than a hundred pieces of animal blood essence. Counting the previous ones, there were already one hundred and fourteen. More than ten.
“So much beast blood essence will definitely allow Fellow Daoist Shen to understand the level of scale armor!”
Yin Ting was also very happy.
Shen Ping smiled and said, "It's not enough. I can't enter the scale armor level alone."
Yin Ting was moved in her heart. This was the essence of animal blood. Let alone a Taoist couple, even clan members with blood ties would have conflicts, but Shen Ping always thought of her.
“We’ve almost explored this branch area, let’s go back to the main passage.”
Recently.
He and Yin Ting encountered many teams of geniuses from various races, and they were becoming more and more frequent. Even if they avoided it in advance, sometimes it was too late. However, the gains this time were not small, and there was no point in staying here to explore. Too meaningful.
Yin Ting nodded.
The two of them did not stop, but returned directly along a branch passage towards the main passage.
However, just as they left the edge of the branch area, the cave wall of the branch suddenly shone, and the range was more than a thousand feet!
Chichi~
Almost instantly.
The insects in the passage swept towards the two people's position overwhelmingly.
Shen Ping reacted very quickly, directly urging the top beast spirit treasure to display blood light, and at the same time took out hundreds of strange beast puppets to block the surroundings. At this moment, even half a breath delay would be of great help to the two of them.
Yin Ting also activated the higher beast spirit treasure.
For a while.
Blood and whips intertwined in the passage.
The strange beast puppets were destroyed one by one, but the insects were still densely packed.
"Quick, hide in the palace."
Seeing this, Shen Ping took out a palace-type animal spirit treasure and asked Yin Ting to hide in it.
Yin Ting did not dare to hesitate at all and quickly entered the palace.
The defense of the palace animal spirit treasure is extremely strong, even an insect needs two breaths to completely engulf the palace.
Then the Hunyuan Gun in Shen Ping's hand waved, and bursts of silver-white gun shadows mixed with blood completely enveloped it, forming a blood gun field, killing all the insects that flew over.
After five breaths.
The blood and gun shadow disappeared.
There was a look of relief on his face. The moment just now was too dangerous. If anything went wrong, he and Yin Ting would both fall here.
After Yin Ting came out, there was fear in her eyes, "There is no animal blood essence in this passage, how come there are so many bugs?!"
