Chapter 12: The Ghost Tower Trial 1
Since Xu Yang had the spirit pet of "Pan Tao", Xu Yang began to be interested in cultivating spirit pets. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
As a major sect of the Ghost Dao, the Heavenly Ghost Sect has a special place for spiritual pets to be raised-the Ghost Spirit Tower. The Ghost Spirit Tower is a large space magic weapon, which is said to have been created by the patriarch of the Heavenly Ghost Sect "Hidden Boundless".
Unlike other sects, the Ghost Spirit Pagoda is stocked with ghost spirit pets. The Ghost Dao Spirit Pet is more suitable for monks who practice the Ghost Dao Exercises in some aspects, such as the exercises and habits.
Ghost spirit pets are different from ghost things. The real ghost is born in another interface called the Netherworld. Ghosts need to survive for a long time in an environment where the power of the Netherworld is extremely strong. Ghost spirit pets are just special spirit pets that have some ghost characteristics and talents.
In ancient times, the aura of the Zhongyuan Continent was many times richer than it is now. The interface between the Netherworld and the Zhongyuan Continent - the Middle Metaverse, there are passages. A large number of ghost cultivators, ghosts, and ghost beasts from the Netherworld entered the Middle Yuan Realm through the passage. And with that comes a huge amount of netherworld power. There was also a terrifying battle between the monks of the Middle Metaverse and the ghost cultivators from the Netherworld.
But for some reason, a long time ago, the pipeline between the Netherworld and the Middle Metaverse disappeared, and the ghost cultivators all retreated to the Netherworld. Only the thinning Netherworld power is still left in the Zhongyuan Realm. However, due to the infection of the power of the Netherworld, some spirit beasts mutated and became ghost spirit beasts, and their descendants have been multiplying until now.
Ghost spirit beasts tend to be more ferocious than ordinary spirit animals, and are even easier to attack ordinary people and monks. Moreover, it is necessary for a monk to practice the ghost path exercises in order to make these ghost path spirit beasts perfectly recognize the master.
The powerful combat power brought by the power of the Netherworld was favored by some powerful people in the Middle Metaverse. The founding patriarch of the Heavenly Ghost Sect, "Hidden Boundless", was the best of these powers, using the power of the Netherworld to create a large number of ghost dao exercises.
The Heavenly Ghost Sect not only mobilized the disciples of its own sect to capture the ghost spirit beasts and put them into the Ghost Spirit Tower, but also publicly purchased the ghost spirit beasts at a high price and put them into the Ghost Spirit Tower.
In this way, on the one hand, the harm of the ghost Dao spirit beast to the Zhongyuan Continent was greatly reduced. On the other hand, make the best use of things for the use of the Heavenly Ghost Sect and strengthen the power of the Heavenly Ghost Sect. Therefore, more than fifty percent of the ghost spirit beasts on the Zhongyuan Continent were in the Ghost Spirit Tower.
The Ghost Spirit Tower has two functions.
First, it can be used by the disciples of the Heavenly Ghost Sect to capture ghost spirit beasts for their own use.
Second, the disciples of the Heavenly Ghost Sect can conduct special cultivation training and improve their cultivation by fighting with the ghost spirit beasts in the Ghost Spirit Tower.
Disciples of the Heavenly Ghost Sect who want to enter the Ghost Spirit Pagoda to capture the spirit pet need to pay a certain amount of Heavenly Ghost Coins. The higher the level of the spirit pet, the more Heavenly Ghost Coins need to be paid. The Heavenly Ghost Coin is actually a spirit stone engraved with the imprint of the Heavenly Ghost Sect. As a reward for disciples to complete tasks within the sect, it can be used to spend in various properties within the Heavenly Ghost Sect. The Ghost Spirit Tower is one of them.
The Ghost Spirit Tower has ten floors, and all kinds of ghost spirit beasts are distributed in the first to tenth floors of the Ghost Spirit Tower from low to high according to their realm. Legend has it on the tenth floor that there is a ghost beast equivalent to the Yuan Soul Realm.
Xu Yang didn't want to enter the Ghost Spirit Tower to catch ghost spirit beasts as spirit pets at the moment, because Xu Yang felt that "Pan Tao" was no worse than any other ghost spirit beast.
The purpose of Xu Yang's entry into the Ghost Spirit Pagoda is to exercise his fighting ability, and the second is to let Pan Tao cooperate with him to attack and cultivate the combined combat ability between himself and Pan Tao.
On this day, Xu Yang came to the location of the Ghost Spirit Pagoda through the small teleportation circle in the sect.
The Ghost Spirit Pagoda is located in an unnamed valley and is under the jurisdiction of the Ghost Spirit Academy, a branch of the Heavenly Ghost Sect.
In the square of the Oni Temple, the ground is clean and tidy.
Looking up, the Ghost Spirit Pagoda stood on the hillside opposite the square, and the pitch-black ten-story tower body flickered with strange runes from time to time.
Xu Yang walked on the square, thinking that the Ghost Spirit Tower was full of ghost spirit beasts, and couldn't help but shudder. Some trees are planted around the square, and the wind blows through the treetops, making a rustling sound that makes the surroundings quieter, and the silence makes people a little suspicious. Occasionally hearing a birdsong, Xu Yang would subconsciously look at the source of the sound.
Come to the entrance to the first floor of the Ghost Tower.
I saw a wooden bulletin board standing next to the entrance, and there were many disciples from various branches of the Heavenly Ghost Sect in front of the bulletin board.
The bulletin board clearly states the precautions for entering the Ghost Tower:
First, the entry fee. The first layer is 100 days of ghost coins per person at a time. The second layer is three hundred ghost coins per person each time.... The ninth and tenth floors are not open to ordinary disciples, and they must be approved by the Sect's Elder House before entering.
Second, the cost of arrest. To capture the ghost beasts of the first layer, you only need to pay 3,000 Heavenly Ghost Coins. The second layer only needs to pay 9,000 Heavenly Ghost Coins, and the third layer requires each Ghost Spirit Beast to pay 20,000 Heavenly Ghost Coins......
Third, the ghost spirit beasts in the center of each layer of the ghost spirit tower are stronger than the strength at the edge, so it is recommended to form a team of more than three people to enter.
Fourth, enter the time. Each person can only enter the Ghost Spirit Tower once per month. Each entry cannot exceed seven days......
Fifth, the disciples who enter it must have their own realm greater than or equivalent to the ghost spirit beasts in the same layer of the Ghost Spirit Tower, and they are not allowed to jump into the high-level ghost spirit tower to avoid accidents.
After Xu Yang carefully read the bulletin board, he handed over a hundred Heavenly Ghost Coins at the entrance. Through the dedicated portal, you will enter the first floor of the Ghost Spirit Tower.
The first floor of the Ghost Spirit Tower.
Looking around, the foothold is very flat, probably because people who come in pass through here, and the place is smooth and flat when trampled, like a small square. Not far away a small stream flows out of the valley in the distance and disappears into the grove on the other side. In the distance, a mountain rises tall.
As far as the eye can see, it is the same as the scenery of the mountains outside the sect, and there are no ghosts and spirit beasts at all. Xu Yang spread out his divine sense, and there was no spiritual power fluctuation within a radius of ten zhang, and the instinctive tension in his heart was reduced by one point.
This is the only entrance and exit on the first floor of the Ghost Spirit Tower, and many disciples enter and exit this floor every day. The ghosts at this entrance were scared away, if not caught. Thinking of this, Xu Yang decided to explore further.
"Pan Tao" squatted on Xu Yang's shoulder, and a man and a beast came to the edge of the central area on the first floor of the Ghost Spirit Tower. I saw a three-zhang wide river blocking the way in front of me, and on the opposite side of the river was a dense forest.
Xu Yang pinched the trick with his left hand, condensed the mana under his feet, and used the air control technique to fly over the river.
As soon as he reached the sky above the river, suddenly a splash rose under his feet, and a black ghost fish with huge bone spurs on his back jumped out of the water. Xu Yang secretly screamed that it was not good, and he ran the Dark Fire Technique at great speed to increase the height of the sky.
At the moment of crisis, a ball of blue-white electricity crossed under Xu Yang's feet, and with a bang, it accurately hit the head of the huge black fish, and the blue-white arc exploded in an instant, and the rising momentum of the black ghost fish came to an abrupt end, and it fell headlong.
The pu fan was like a fishtail grazing the soles of Xu Yang's feet, and fell back to the water with a pop, splashing.
Xu Yang turned his head and smiled at "Pan Tao" and said, "Well done." ”
"Peach" nodded proudly.
At this moment, I only heard a noise on the surface of the water, and a huge splash was lifted, and a hideous giant crocodile with a gray-green body and a huge body jumped out of the water, biting the fish that attacked Xu Yang just now. The huge crocodile's mouth shook violently back and forth, and the fish was torn and shattered into the belly of the giant crocodile, shedding only a pool of blood. The cruel law of the jungle is embarrassing.
"There are many crises here, and it is not reckless to enter the central area alone. Xu Yang secretly begged in his heart.
Cross the river and come to the dense woods.
With the lesson just now, Xu Yang decided not to use the Sky Control Technique lightly.
Xu Yang walked cautiously into the woods. After a stick of incense, it has come to the depths of the woods. There was a rustling sound in the woods, as if something was approaching. Xu Yang hurriedly squatted down, concealed his breath, and quietly observed.
Not long after, a huge Black Wind Bear appeared in Xu Yang's field of vision. This bear is long, the hair is dark and translucent, and the body is as strong as a wall.
Xu Yang spread out his divine sense, found that there were no other spirit beasts around, and after carefully observing the surrounding terrain and scenery, he decided to make a move.
Holding his breath and concentrating, using the trees as cover, he quietly approached and made a detour behind the Black Wind Bear.
Xu Yang waved his hand, and Pan Tao jumped down and disappeared into the grass on the ground. Secretly urging the Dark Fire Technique, with a flick of his wrist, a fist-sized fireball roared out.
The two small ears of the Black Wind Bear moved twice, and he was already aware of the abnormal movement in the air. As soon as he turned around, a huge bear paw slapped on the fireball like a shovel mixed with black wind. With a "snap", the fireball was smashed and dissipated into a large spark in the void.
The Black Wind Bear instantly spotted Xu Yang not far away, staring at the incoming enemy with a pair of small green eyes, opening his mouth and mouthing bloody, and with a roar, the surrounding branches rustled.
Xu Yang had already prepared, condensed his mana under his feet, jumped hard, and jumped onto a tree not far from him.
Seeing that he couldn't attack Xu Yang, the black bear grinned at Xu Yang on the tree, and let out a series of dull whining screams from his mouth. Immediately after, a pair of sturdy fleshy palms slapped on the trunk of the tree. There was a click, like a child folding a hemp stalk, and the tree with the big mouth of the bowl broke in response.
Everything was expected by Xu Yang, and he jumped to the other side, and with the rebound power of the landing, he urged the mana to quickly jump onto another tree.
The Black Wind Bear followed like a shadow, and with another slap, another tree with a thick bowl mouth snapped.
In this way, Xu Yang jumped around in the woods, and from time to time used the Dark Fire Technique to shoot fireballs to delay the Black Wind Bear's actions.
The Black Wind Bear is like a vole, a cup of tea, and the trees within a radius of more than ten zhang are all knocked down by it, and a large area is scattered horizontally and vertically. The Black Wind Bear stretched out its black tongue, panting heavily, its movements were much slower, and its two green eyes looked listless.
Taking advantage of the decline in the strength of the Black Wind Bear, Xu Yang quickly made a judgment. When he raised his hand, a cone appeared in his right hand. Three fireballs were sent out in a row, and a cold glow faintly appeared in the third fireball, and the fire cone was hidden in it and shot out.
The bear's paw waved, and the two fireballs in front of him were smashed with two "bangs".
The moment the black bear struck the third fireball, the fire cone hidden in the third fireball burst out and nailed it to the black bear's shoulder.
With a pop, the small half of the fire cone had already sunk into the black bear's shoulder, and in an instant, a large amount of hot blood flowed down the wound.
