Chapter 719: Yun Cuicui takes the bait
The plan was confirmed, and Nie Chen immediately began to prepare. In her hands, there were a lot of low-level magic weapons, which she sent around the lake, and then deliberately made some abnormal phenomena to attract the attention of nearby monks.
This was not difficult, Nie Chen simply created some lightning and thunder, which attracted a few scattered cultivators in the distance.
They came to check it out and soon found the treasure scattered. However, the treasure was limited, far from enough to divide the monks who came, so a battle was inevitable.
After the fight, some of the monks were killed, and the remaining monks got their wish and got what they wanted.
However, they did not want to leave, but wandered around the lake, wanting more to gain. But what awaits them is not more treasures, but a catastrophe that will destroy their souls.
The moment they touched the lake, their flesh and blood were torn apart by an inexplicable force and merged directly into the lake. Even their spirits were not able to escape from it and become part of the lake spirits.
This shocked everyone and did not dare to contact it easily. But there are also high-ranking monks who have looked at it and found some clues. Within this lake, they felt the breath of soul power, and guessed that there was a soul-devouring monster in it.
They didn't dare to touch it again, but they couldn't resist the temptation of the treasure. In desperation, they had no choice but to spread the news, hoping to attract more high-ranking monks. Let them deal with this strange lake, and they will be able to make a profit.
All of this is what Nie Chen wants to see the most, and she naturally won't stop it. At this time, she was hiding in the cave and stepped up to contact the spell she had obtained.
This technique is not complicated, with Nie Chen's cultivation at this time, he has already mastered it in an instant. However, in order to be safe, Nie Chen still practiced repeatedly to ensure that he could be foolproof.
The news of the appearance of treasures in the lake soon spread, and along with this news, there was also the special feature of this lake.
When the news spread, it quickly attracted the attention of a large number of monks. There are monks who covet treasures, and there are abilities that are interested in the lake. They felt that the lake was special, or it was an opportunity for them to make a breakthrough.
But when they arrived, they found that it was not that simple. Although this lake contains soul power, it is not something they can absorb and use. Even a simple touch is not something they can bear.
A few monks were unwilling and wanted to forcibly collect the soul power in the lake. As a result, it was instantly devoured, devouring all the flesh and blood, and finally only a dry bone remained.
This time completely frightened the other monks, and no one dared to touch it easily. But the strange news here was spread again, and soon spread throughout the continent.
In one corner of the continent, there is a mountain with black rock accumulation. At the top of the mountain, there is a stone house made of black stone, and a nun sits cross-legged in the stone house. Her body was surrounded by a faint black mist, making her between the unreal and the solid.
This female cultivator is exactly what Nie Chen wants to find Yun Cuicui. She was seriously injured by Nie Chen before, and then hid here to heal. It's just that without the replenishment of soul power, her recovery is much slower.
As for collecting soul power again, Yun Cuicui didn't dare at this time. Nie Chen had searched for himself many times before, just according to the fatal point of collecting soul power by himself.
With her current state, once she is discovered by Nie Chen again, I am afraid it will be difficult to get out easily.
She has no way to hide this. No matter how secretive she is, it is impossible to be seamless and leave no trace.
Unless she really incarnates into a demon and directly devours the souls of the people. In that case, he might be able to replenish and restore his lost cultivation before Nie Chen found out. Then just flee this world and find another place to live.
But Yun Cuicui didn't do that, she remembered a phrase within the Dark Demon Inheritance. The power of the soul can be collected but not plundered, and the soul of the people can be consumed, but it cannot be slaughtered wantonly. Otherwise, they will be condemned by heaven and fall into a state of no return.
These are the words recorded in the Black Demon Inheritance, and no matter how bold Yun Cuicui is, she will not dare to disobey it easily.
Yun Cuicui had no choice but to hide in this corner that no one knew and slowly heal and recover. Although it was a long time, it was relatively safe for Yun Cuicui, and it was already her best choice.
It was also at this time that the news of the appearance of that strange lake was also accidentally learned by Yun Cuicui.
On this day, she wanted to go out and search for some resources, but she came across a few monks talking about it. Yun Cuicui was curious, so she casually grabbed them close and asked them carefully.
Knowing that there was a soul-devouring power in the lake, and that there was a soul-devouring power surrounding her, Yun Cuicui's heart was overjoyed. This is the resource she needs the most, and the appearance of this lake at this time is like a relief in the snow.
Of course, Yun Cuicui was also very cautious, lest this be Nie Chen's trap. However, after asking herself, Yun Cuicui denied this speculation.
The strangeness of the lake is by no means that a monk can transform it. If Nie Chen had such a skill, he would have become a prisoner of her subordinates a long time ago, and where would it be possible to escape many times.
Yun Cuicui was sure that this was an opportunity for herself. A quick recovery gives her the ability to open the space barrier and leave this dangerous world with a great opportunity.
Thinking of this, Yun Cuicui didn't hesitate any longer, and then set off to rush to the lake. With Yun Cuicui's cultivation, it didn't take much time at all, and after three days, he was near the lake.
However, Yun Cuicui did not step forward immediately, but stopped a hundred miles away. Then he conjured a spell clone and went to the lake to check the reality in person.
After some checking, Yun Cuicui completely put her mind at ease. In keeping with the legend, it is indeed full of soul power. It's just that this power is not something that ordinary monks can receive, and even she doesn't dare to touch it carelessly.
I don't dare to Yun Cuicui's special cultivation technique, but after getting closer, I can directly collect this soul power. If she cultivates around here, she can increase the speed of her cultivation and recovery by a hundredfold.
Yun Cuicui couldn't resist this temptation. After confirming many times that there was indeed no danger here, she approached and found a remote lake and began to frantically absorb the soul power here.
The place where she stood was already close to the lake, which ordinary monks did not dare to approach. Therefore, her cultivation did not need to worry about being disturbed by those ordinary monks.
Those treasure hunting cultivators, Yun Cuicui did not expel them. The presence of these monks had no effect on her. And their constant movement can also give Yun Cuicui some cover, so that her cultivation will not seem too abrupt, so as not to attract the attention of people with intentions.
