Chapter 54: The Monster in the Cave
The sleep after entering tranquility through the meditation method is the "preservation of mind and body", also known as "fetal breath".
This is the optimal rest mode. When the consciousness is quiet, in a dream-like but not a dream, the right consciousness cooperates with the physical instinct to consume the nutrients stored in the body, repair and shape the body in a perfect way.
One or two hours of spiritual sleep can meet the daily needs of ordinary people. Even if you are injured and deficient, you can still recover by sleeping for a while longer.
After waking up, Anjing felt full of energy and refreshed. Although some muscles in his body still ached and the injuries had not been completely resolved, this was only because there were not enough nutrients in the body and the time was too short.
"I'm in good shape."
With his heart beating powerfully, Anjing stood up and jumped smoothly from the beam to the ground: "Is there nothing abnormal?"
On the forehead, the mark of the sword spirit slowly retracted into the skin: "No. Nothing happened."
"Good thing." An Jing's eyes were bright at this moment, his energy was restored to full strength again, and he scanned the surroundings: "If you attack me when I just arrived, I can only use less than half of my strength. If you attack me when I am resting, I can only use six or seven at most. become."
"And now, I can at least exert 90% of my strength."
Regardless of whether the possible spiritual monsters are present or not, they are watching carefully from the side or waiting for their prey to step into the trap.
At least An Jing has restored his condition to the best possible condition.
After resting, Anjing began to check the two roads coming and going.
The way they came is naturally the way the corpses came from. In other words, it is the road leading to the 'exit of the ruins'.
The way to go is the way that the corpses came here and wanted to explore in depth, the way that leads to the 'depths of the ruins'.
Both An Jing and Sword Spirit felt that going deep into the ruins was not a good idea: "Even the professional exploration team failed here. With our strength, going deep will mean death."
However, it is necessary to explore the situation a little bit.
The path was located at the side and rear of the attic of the ancient ruins. It was a deep and winding corridor that went deep into the ground. Anjing felt that there seemed to be waves of moist hot wind blowing out of it: "Is this underground a hot spring? There seem to be other vents... …”
He shook his head slightly, with no intention of exploring further - there was heat and water, which meant there was probably life.
The deeper you go, the greater the danger.
The way here...
"Something has been here."
Just when he came to the edge of the passage behind the corpse, An Jing suddenly stopped and the sword spirit was quite curious: "Oh? How did you see it?"
An Jing frowned and looked at a corpse that he had plundered: "After I plundered it, I specially placed this skeleton here and stacked it up."
"But now, the bones are scattered and there are traces of being trampled on."
An Jing half-crouched down cautiously, holding a jade dagger in his hand, observing the trampling marks, but he couldn't tell what kind of creature's footprints they were: "Strange thing, not animal prints, hoof prints, shoes, apes or something... "
"Instead, it looks a bit like a reptile, with some tentacles climbing up. Could it be an octopus in an underground hot spring? An octopus that eats brains and souls?"
"No, it's not an octopus, it's a bit like..."
Grass leaves and vines.
An Jing saw a few fluorescent marks on the crushed corpse.
He thought of the fluorescent vines behind him in the underground cave.
He hid in the attic of the ruins, avoiding the fluorescent vines, so he rested for three hours without being disturbed. --call.
An imperceptible cold wind blew by.
Without any hesitation, An Jing turned around and at the same time slashed the palm of his hand with the jade dagger!
The Blood Fiend Sword instantly regrouped, and then, following An Jing's turn, he twisted his waist, stretched out his arm, and turned into a full red arc, slashing straight at the black shadow that suddenly appeared behind him!
puff! Something was chopped open, and the sound of liquid splashing was heard, but along with a weird roar, the scattered vines suddenly turned into seven or eight whip shadows, whipping towards An Jing's place!
But at this time, Anjing did not retreat but advanced. The whipping only caused huge damage at the ends, but it was powerless when it was close to the body.
And the blood evil long sword in his hand was extremely sharp. As he swung it, the roots were cut off, just like cutting paper to separate oil, breaking a mat to cut grass. In an instant, four or five vines were cut off.
Then, An Jing was holding a long sword in both hands, and the sword light flashed, piercing the middle of the black shadow's body.
Then, with a crisp cutting sound, An Jing pulled and pulled, cutting the monster's body into two pieces!
But it was at this moment that An Jing, who was slightly relaxed, heard the sword spirit's reminder: "Pay attention, be alert!"
"This monster is not dead yet!"
"Yes, this is a vine!" And An Jing immediately realized that if everything went as he guessed, there was no way this monster would die because its body was cut off!
Sure enough, in the next moment, all the fluorescent vines in the entire cave suddenly lit up!
Its color is incandescent and its shape is like a net, making this dim underground cave look like daylight!
At the moment when the light shines brightly, the invisible soul shock spreads, and the soul shock that is enough to instantly kill the Inner Breath Realm warrior fills the entire cave.
At the same time, the vine aggregate that had been chopped into two parts began to squirm again and was about to rush towards An Jing!
However, apart from An Jing's body shaking, he still held the sword tightly in his hand.
A bloody halo of light flashed away.
This arm tightly grasped the hilt of the sword, and then swung it with a trail of red flames, swallowing the sharp edge, and slashed out one vertical, two horizontal, and three swords.
Wherever the sword edge passed, the vine aggregate turned into four parts, then six parts, and eight parts.
These sword energy was just like the sword An Jing slashed out when he broke through the inner breath. It was powerful and burst out of the body, cutting traces on the ground and splashing dust all over the sky.
The vine aggregate that was cut again collapsed to the ground, and the many fluorescent vines that had experienced the mental shock also dimmed, and the entire cave fell into darkness.
Only An Jing's eyes were left, and the evil sword in his hand was flowing with flaming blood.
"It's easier to deal with than expected. It's an ambush monster."
Having completely eliminated his opponent, An Jing breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head tiredly.
With the protection of the sword spirit and the blessing of fate, Anjing's mental resistance is really not low.
Especially since he had been on guard for a long time and had a vigilance in his heart. Therefore, when the vine monster hit his soul with all its strength, he was just stunned for a moment and felt a stinging pain in his skull, but he was not unable to move.
This sure-kill weapon had little effect on An Jing, and the next step was naturally massacre. After An Jing took a breath, he planned to cut these vine aggregates into minced meat and kill them completely.
However, when the cut was halfway through, An Jing also discovered something extraordinary.
A human skull.
