Chapter 645: Heavenly Artifact Stone Adze (Double More in One, Cough, Ask for Pink Ticket)
"This medicine seals your wound and starts healing now. Ning Xiaoxian said lightly, "However, this medicine has overdrawn your vitality, and in the next half a year, you will often feel weak and sluggish." "There's also room for powerlessness, but she can't say it.
Ajihun didn't care, and bowed deeply to her and Changtian: "Thank you two for saving your life." ”
The "fourth" urged on the side: "The cold noise is over, and the people have been saved, so let's go quickly." "This mine is not a place to stay for a long time, if a few more lizards and a few mountain anchors come in a while, then the fun will be great.
The group hurried back the way they came. With the help of the medicinal effect, Aji didn't need anyone's support for the time being, and everyone suddenly traveled much faster, only to see that there was a mutant lizard lying outside outside when they got out of the mine, and of course it was already dead. Boss Kun and the "Fourth" stared at each other, but they didn't see where the big guy's fatal wound was, and they couldn't help but be more curious about Ning Xiaoxian and Changtian's methods.
The bronze avenue in front of him was straight and straight, and it didn't look like there was an ambush, but there was a slight rustle behind him soon, and everyone knew that this meant that there was a mountain anchor approaching, so they quickly quickened their pace to find a hidden place before looking back and forth. Sure enough, I saw that more than 40 mountain anchors had rushed to the entrance of the mine, and they were working together to drag the corpse of the mutant lizard inside. This monster was originally their natural enemy, and they had a deep grudge against each other, and at this time, the mountain anchor was eager to eat its flesh, and he had no time to look at it from everyone.
Someone complained in a low voice: "Why do these big ants have to sacrifice their lives to squeeze into the mine, is there a treasure?"
A tentative agreement was reached. Ning Xiaoxian didn't hide his selfishness, and said with a smile: "There is a treasure." That mineral is a treasure to the mountain anchor. This ore is called dolomite, and the texture is softer. It's not very useful to humans, but if the mountain anchor doesn't eat every ten days and half a month, the carapace on the body will become softer and softer, and there is no longer the ability to protect oneself, and this underground palace is tantamount to waiting for death. Just like humans have to eat salt, otherwise the whole body is weak. So no matter how dangerous the Bronze Hall is, they must also venture forward. ”
She had just entered the mine. I also glanced at the situation there a few times. There are many low-level youkai in the Hidden Stream who regularly consume certain minerals, so this kind of trait is not unusual for her. Just like on Earth, many monkeys and parrots in the Amazon Valley usually eat berries that are slightly poisonous. It is also necessary to take a special clay lift on a regular basis.
The person she had just rescued from the lizard's mouth was named Han Chunlin, and when he heard this, he interjected: "This group of mountain anchors is really unlucky, and the ore that continues their life was actually stopped by the monsters in the bronze hall. ”
Ning Xiaoxian glanced at him and smiled: "I'm afraid that this was originally designed in the dungeon. These monsters have been living in the dungeon for a long time. It has adapted to an environment where there is almost no air, but it is impossible not to eat. If these lizards can't catch the mountain anchor for a long time, it is estimated that they will starve to death and will not reproduce to this day. ”
She concluded: "Therefore, a side hall was specially built between the habitat of the mountain anchor and the ore vein in this underground palace, so that the lizard can hunt the mountain anchor for a living. At the same time, the mountain anchor can eat the dolomite ore every ten days. The amount of prey caught by lizards is limited, which effectively controls the total number of lizard populations. ”
This was intentional by the designers of the dungeon? Everyone couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts. Han Chunlin said: "This group of big ants lives on the fish in the river? ”
Boss Kun thought further and muttered, "The mountain anchor lives on the prey sent from the river, and this big lizard uses the mountain anchor as its prey...... In this way, isn't there a more powerful monster in the back?"
As soon as this speculation came out, everyone swallowed their saliva in unison.
Changtian said lightly: "It's very likely." The people who built this dungeon probably also thought that as time goes by, no matter how delicate the mechanism is, it will decay, and only two things can operate for a long time, guarding this dungeon from outsiders to invade, and the treasures inside will not be taken away by others. One of them is life that can reproduce and thrive to this day. I'm afraid that the further you go inside, the more powerful the monsters become. These things were originally used as guardians, and they became their own ecology in the dungeon. ”
Someone couldn't help but ask, "What about the other thing?"
"You should be familiar with it, it's a curse or a formation. "Chang Tian knows that these mortals in front of him have all cultivated some Heavenly Master techniques, and although they can't see the evil qi after expanding their divine thoughts like immortal cultivators, they can vaguely feel its existence. The endless and thickening evil qi was indeed able to maintain the continuous operation of the formation.
Ning Xiaoxian asked the question that had been entrenched in his heart from the very beginning: "Even immortal cultivators can't enter here, otherwise they will be suppressed by the strong evil qi and take away their sanity, how do you move freely?"
Boss Kun looked at her deeply, a little reluctant to speak, after all, this is also one of their hole cards. Ning Xiaoxian raised his eyebrows and reminded him, "Agreed?"
This is still the time to be in the same boat, so Boss Kun also pursed his lips and recounted the cause and effect in a few words.
It turns out that they really came from thousands of miles away. Boss Kun is a native of Kunshan, 700 miles away, and just by hearing this surname, he knows that the Kun clan was at least a prominent family in the local area. This family originally sat on thousands of acres of fertile land, and received soft hands every year to collect rent, which was indeed called the peak of incense, but more than 200 years ago, some clansmen worshiped under the famous Fangshi, and then invited the "Heavenly Master" back to worship carefully, and there were many descendants who learned the art of the Heavenly Master.
However, those who follow the way of the Heavenly Master end up losing their lives to being lonely and widowed, and the Kun family is no exception. Originally, it was a big family of nearly 2,000 people, and the generation of Boss Kun was already in ruins, and the only brother died fifteen years ago, and he was entrusted to him before he died, and this child was Aji. Boss Kun's mother-in-law has not given birth to a single egg so far, so she has always regarded Aji as her own.
The so-called barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes, the only two men in the Kun family are in the underground palace at the moment, no wonder Boss Kun dares to explain his background so briskly.
Speaking of which, this Kun boss is really lucky, and he thought that his generation would never engage in that bad luck again. To see if he could revive the incense of the Kun family, at the beginning he used his savings to buy a few acres of fertile land and came back to farm, but he didn't know that he would soon catch up with two years of floods and three years of drought. The crops in the field were almost dead, and then he relied on his own strength to become a merchant and learn to do business. How do you know that there are a lot of ways here, he has been deceived two or three times, and he has lost so much, he has no money in his hand, not to mention, and he owes a P share debt.
You can't owe anything to debt. So he had no choice but to go back to the old job of the Kun family. Fortunately, Boss Kun really has some ability in his hands, and his fame has gradually opened up in ten miles and eight towns, but anyone who meets ghosts and spirits. All came to him for help. After he returned to Fangshi, he had all kinds of smooth sailing, so he sighed, only that this is the will of heaven. I gave up the idea of finding another livelihood. After all these years of operation. He also pulled up his own team, that is, brought these people into the underground palace.
A month and a half ago, someone approached him and offered him a sky-high price that he couldn't refuse, asking him to rush to Chigui Mountain, seven hundred miles away, to explore a dungeon, and then pay the same gold and silver as a reward afterwards. Boss Kun said slowly: "That man said, whatever you find can belong to me." He only wants one thing in this palace. ”
Ning Xiaoxian listened attentively and asked, "What is it?"
"A heart-shaped stone. ”
Stone Heart. Why does this thing sound so familiar? Ning Xiaoxian frowned to herself, and Changtian had already sent a voice to remind her: "Back then, that little cat demon stole into the Mirror Sea King's Mansion, wasn't it a stone heart that he wanted to steal?"
She snapped into it. In the past, when she rescued the little cat demon, she heard him say that the sect elders asked him to steal into the Jinghai King's Mansion and steal the stone heart, and now there is one in this underground palace, that is to say, there are at least two of these stone hearts in the world?
However, the underground palace was only accidentally opened half a year ago due to a natural disaster, how did the person who hired Boss Kun know what treasures were hidden here? Listening to these Fang Shidao, the doubts in her heart became more and more, and she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Changtian, but saw that his eyes were shining, and he was not the slightest confused, and suddenly thought in his heart: "Could it be that he also knows?" After all, this underground palace is a relic of tens of thousands of years ago, and it is the same era as Changtian, and he knows more secrets than her, isn't it normal?
While she was thinking about it, Boss Kun had already continued: "At that time, that person had already said that this underground palace could not be entered by idlers, and I am afraid that even those land immortals would avoid it. We want to get in and out safely, unless we are clinging to it. "The palm of the hand is open, and there is a rectangular thin-edged stone blade lying inside, only the length of the index finger, the width is less than the two fingers together, the polishing technique is rough, and the edge of the blade has been repeatedly sharpened, and it does not look sharp, probably even if you cut a blade in the palm of your hand, it will not hurt anyone. If anything, it's that it still glows dimly in the dark.
She wondered, "What is this?"
Boss Kun shook his head and said, "I don't know." The man gave us one, and we were skeptical, after all, this thing was no different from ordinary stone chips, but after entering the dungeon, it began to glow. ”
Changtian suddenly interjected: "This is not a stone blade, but a stone adze, which was originally used by the ancient ancestors to cut meat and remove bones, and later evolved into a ritual weapon used to worship the sky, with at least twelve pieces in a group." Every ritual weapon that embodies the power of the Great Wish may be given a gifted supernatural power, called a celestial weapon, which is extremely rare and unique. This group of stone adzes has probably been used by barbarians to communicate with heaven and earth for a long time, and over time, they have also possessed their own magical powers, perhaps it is the power of evil and untouchable. ”
The evil qi in the underground palace is the gathering of the blood and evil power between heaven and earth, if there is this stone adze, even mortals can indeed enter and flow freely. However, the effectiveness of this treasure ends here, and people have to deal with all kinds of changes in the underground palace.
It's just that the person who has such a treasure doesn't come by himself, but asks mortals to come in and get it? She shook her head and said, "It's weird everywhere before it is done. Do you dare to take such a job?"
Boss Kun smiled bitterly: "I have been traveling south and north for so many years, and I have never encountered such an evil thing." But the price that the man offered, I really can't refuse, in addition to enough gold and silver for children and grandchildren to eat for several lifetimes, there is also the long-lost secret book of the Kun family, which records many Heavenly Master spells, I can't help but be impressed, and ......" He coughed lightly, and the old face actually showed a little twist, "He said that there is still a medicine in his hand, let me take it, and I can give birth to a son......"
Being middle-aged and having no queen is the biggest regret of mortals. Man dies for money. Birds die for food. The benefits thrown by the mysterious owner are honey bait that Boss Kun has to swallow.
As for seeing things secretly, hiding one's body odor and breath. It is not a difficult task for the Celestial Master, they usually need to hunt ghosts and subdue demons, otherwise the demons smell the breath of the living, and the Celestial Master can still have a chance of winning? Speaking of this, Boss Kun was obviously much more relaxed, and there were other Celestial Masters who also participated in the discussion.
Almost every school of Celestial Master has his own method of breathing, which can seal the pores of the whole body. It does not allow the smell to leak out, and some can hold the breath for a long time, or even breathe only through the skin. The method adopted by Boss Kun and others is to wear dried small Lingxiang beans. The beans are about the size and color of red beans, and they can be harvested after filling in the autumn and filtered on the body surface. Keep the foul air out of the way. The air in the dungeon is very thin. It's time for the little Lingxiang beans to take effect.
The ability of mortals is really not to be underestimated. Ning Xiaoxian looked at it fun, and asked for a handful of beans to put on the sachet, and sure enough, after taking two deep breaths, he felt that the air was much fresher. As for the stone adze, she also asked Boss Kun for two and gave one to Changtian. With this thing in hand, she suddenly felt that the pressure around her body was cleared. The originally pervasive, silky snake-like evil aura around her immediately avoided her, and the uncomfortable feeling of suffocation disappeared. Naturally, Lord Shenjun didn't need this thing to avoid evil energy. But it is natural to do a full set of plays.
As he spoke, everyone could see the shadows on both sides of the Bronze Avenue, in fact, there were many low stone houses, but everyone didn't bother to explore them. Ning Xiaoxian said curiously: "This underground palace was only opened a small gap by the power of earth trembling, and it saw the light of day again. How did your owner get the map here?"
Boss Kun shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then I don't know." The picture he gave was not detailed, only a rough indication was indicated, and there were several places that were still wrong. It's like a water room in the corridor, which is not marked on the map. It's a pity that I can't show it to you now, but the man made me memorize it on the spot, and then burned it in front of me. He pointed to his head, "So, now the map is here." ”
That's why his teammates don't leave him: he's the only one who knows the way forward.
Ning Xiaoxian was about to speak, his eyes were fixed, but he looked overhead: "The lizard is here." ”
Everyone's expressions were all grim, and they were all vigilant. Sure enough, a few seconds later, as they passed a large pillar, another soft tongue shot out of the shadows, this time directly on the human head. Presumably, after the mutant lizard observed, it found that the human head was the most vulnerable, so it changed its strategy and no longer took the enemy in the middle like a predatory mountain anchor.
However, the biggest skill of this kind of monster is to sneak attack kung fu, and Boss Kun and his party have been prepared in advance. Although this lizard shot quickly, it was also expected, although the person who was attacked by him did not have Ning Xiaoxian's skills, and he couldn't avoid it, but he didn't look panicked, and after being caught in the head by the long tongue, he grabbed a handful of red, red and white powder from the waist bag with his backhand, and sprinkled it on the tip of the tongue of this soft tongue at once.
With a "whoosh", this originally powerful and invulnerable soft tongue actually let go of the prey in an instant, and then the wolf retracted, retracting almost faster than the catapult. The lizard didn't know what to attack, let out a few terrible baby cries, and the mountain-like body actually took two steps back, and then shook its head desperately, as if something had run into its brain.
Ning Xiaoxianqiong's nose moved slightly, and she laughed out. Changtian frowned and said, "What is this? It tastes so spicy." "Which of these mortals played, why didn't he understand?
"It's not a magic power or a spell, so naturally you can't understand it. She couldn't stop laughing, "This powder is made of Chaotian pepper, wasabi, glutinous rice, Sichuan pepper, ginger, and pepper root...... Even if this lizard's tongue is used for predation, after all, it still has a sense of taste, and it is no wonder that it is not stunned when it suddenly comes into contact with such a terrible spiciness. She pointed to the lizard and said, "If you look at its current movements, it is estimated that the wasabi powder has choked on its brain, and it doesn't taste too beautiful." "Wasabi is pureed like wasabi, and most people know that the effect is so special when you eat it in your mouth.
Changtian's face suddenly became very exciting. Ning Xiaoxian also cooked in Yinliu, and used this Chaotian pepper on one of them, which seemed to be the second day when the two had an awkward quarrel...... Even if he has a supernatural power, he can't practice the Tao to his tongue, and the smell of the devil is still fresh in his memory. He glanced at the monster sympathetically. It's quite a bit of sympathy.
Others are not clay wood carvings, and they have used their own means when they have gained precious time. Boss Kun muttered a mantra, and wiped the index and middle fingers of his left hand on the spine of the sword. This mortal iron, which was originally sharpened like clay, suddenly looked smart, and the sword body emitted a faint brilliance, and even the tip of the sword spit out a half-foot-long sword light. He was quite agile, and after he caught the lizard's neck, he stabbed it out with a sword.
This time, the lizard's skin was harder than wood and stone, and it couldn't withstand the sharpness of the long sword. Dark blood gushed out like a fountain. The monster howled angrily and opened its mouth to bite him.
Another Celestial Master in the team let out a low shout. He was already taller than the others, and now he didn't know what secret method he used. The size has skyrocketed, and it looks like he is more than seven feet tall (about two meters two, cough, almost equivalent to Uncle Yao's height). The muscles of the whole body suddenly tensed. Every line is like steel cast in iron, and the skin even has a faint metallic sheen. He had been guarding Boss Kun's side, and at this moment he stepped forward, exhaled, and slammed his big fist on the lizard's eyeframe.
"Porphyry" sounded, such as defeat. After eating this punch, the lizard's huge head was deflected, and even its body was tilted outward.
Ning Xiaoxian's eyebrows jumped slightly. She herself was born in physical cultivation. The observation of power was the most careful, and the power of this Celestial Master suddenly burst out in just one breath. It's not less than 30,000 catties! You know, this is already far beyond the strength of ordinary monsters, almost reaching the standard of the giant power demon species, and when she was competing for the dragon elephant fruit in the hidden stream, her strength was not much greater than this.
At this moment, the "fourth" threw out four soul nails, each of which had black gas lingering on it, and after the shot, it went directly through the lizard's flippers and was firmly nailed to the ground. The lizard struggled hard, but for a moment it couldn't get out of the four nails that were less than the length of a palm.
And in Changtian and Ning Xiaoxian's eyes, they clearly saw that there was another mystery on the nails, and after each one was tightened, a ray of black light floated on the nails, and then three smiling imps floated out and pressed the nails firmly to the ground.
These little ghosts looked white and fat, with only a faint red light in their eyes, and they were extremely excited as soon as they appeared.
Taking advantage of this buffer, Boss Kun raised his sword again and cut into the wound on the lizard's neck again. He was also very particular about dropping his sword, and this time he finally cut off the strong muscles and cut off the lizard's trachea.
This move was originally tried and tested, after all, the key to most creatures is in the head and pharynx. But this lizard struggled even harder, its limbs were strong and powerful, how could it look like it was exhausted?
Everyone was surprised, and Ning Xiaoxian couldn't help but say in a loud voice: "The air in the underground palace is scarce, this monster doesn't need to breathe much, you have to pick and break its arteries or heart to be effective." ”
Boss Kun suddenly understood, the tip of the sword changed direction, and it really stabbed straight into the main artery. The blood between the lizard's throat was like a fountain, fluttering hard, and the black nails on its four feet couldn't control it, so the giant force heavenly master simply raised his legs and pressed its body.
It took a while for its struggle to slow down, and finally it stopped moving.
Although Boss Kun and the others won, they were all a little panting, especially after the battle, although the figure of the Giant Force Heavenly Master was restored to its original state, his face turned two points pale. Ning Xiaoxian asked, "How long is the road?"
Boss Kun heaved: "We have gone about a third of the way!" He was also bitter in his heart, but he was a person who was used to leading the team, and he knew that if people's hearts were sluggish, it would be even more difficult to deal with them, so he tried to say it lightly. Just now they besieged this lizard, Ning Xiaoxian and the two stood by, and the four or five of them worked together, and it took a lot of effort, so they understood more clearly the gap between themselves and Ning Xiaoxian. He had a few thoughts in his heart, and when he looked at Ning Xiaoxian again, he felt that this girl's smile seemed to be laughing at his suspicions.
Ning Xiaoxian looked at him with flickering eyes, knowing that he had a plan in his belly, but he laughed it off and didn't bother to speculate. In the face of Changtian's absolute strength, what use can mortal intrigues and tricks be?
Although mutant lizards are not easy to deal with, they are better than mountain anchors in groups, but rather like dividing their own territory to live. (To be continued......)
