Chapter 124: Ruins
As we all know, in the sects, especially in the big sects, there must be a place like the back mountain for the disciples who make mistakes, that is, the place of punishment.
If the Thunderstorm Dungeon is the punishment ground of the Great Thunderwind Demon Sect, then it is not surprising that there is a teleportation array.
Due to the fear of triggering the aura storm, they couldn't fly in the air, and there was spiritual fluid under their feet to slow down the speed, and the group moved even slower.
It was probably because of the density of the aura, after getting the first thunder crystal, he encountered several more pieces along the way, all of which were in Xianmeng's pocket.
"It seems a little different. Immortal Meng was keenly aware of the subtle changes in the surrounding environment, and aside from the thunder aura, they seemed to have arrived from one space to another, and one or two could be seen from the spiritual liquid that had turned red under their feet.
"Yes. Shi Qiu said, "It's within the range of the teleportation array, be careful." β
Before Xian Meng could react to the meaning of this caution, she suddenly felt something, her body rose up, and she took a few steps to the side.
Where she had landed, a thin hand poked out.
Its surface was still dripping with undropped spiritual fluid, and the golden color was faintly reddish, which at first glance looked like blood. The skin wraps the bones, and the muscles are shriveled and sagging, as if they are old corpses that have been dried for thousands of years.
"What is it?" Xian Meng was startled.
Gu Lang had already made a move, gathering golden aura in his hands, and after refining in the Thunder Pool, the momentum on his body became more and more restrained, but it became more and more unfathomable.
As if a layer of golden light had crossed his hand, Gu Lang grabbed his thin arm with his five fingers and lifted it up, pulling out the whole thing trapped in the spiritual fluid.
The light flashed, and the sharp cut a golden arc in the air, with a faintly flickering thunder aura, it was the monster's other hand, with long nails, and it had a fight with Gu Lang's hand after transformation.
"Thunder Corps. Shi Qiu's head was slightly sideways, and the black contract beast formed around him, perhaps due to the environment, there was a golden brilliance in the black contract beast.
"Hah?!" Xian Meng kicked away the thunder corpse that was attacking her.
The corpses that had been hidden under the spiritual liquid but seemed to have dried for a long time were exposed to the water, and they stood up one by one to make an attack posture, there were more than twenty of them, and the thin armor condensed by the thunder aura on the surface was covered, and they did not make a single movement when they approached.
"Boom!" Although Xianmeng's cultivation has not reached the Jindan stage, the refining body of these days has highlighted the effect, even if it is just a random punch, it has a strength comparable to the middle stage of the Jindan, not to mention the blessing of other means.
"Bang bang. "There are constantly thunder corpses that are knocked into the spiritual fluid, and they are still tireless, waiting for the scattered armor on their bodies to re-condense and quickly impact again.
There was still a day left before they were teleported out of the thunderstorm dungeon, and at this time they were very close to the location of the teleportation array, and if it hadn't been for the sudden appearance of the thunder corpse that dragged them back, they might have entered the ruins to explore.
"Is there a way to get rid of it?" After two hours of hard fighting, Xian Meng's heart also had to persist thanks to his own elixir.
But this is the thunder pool, there is a steady supply of energy to the thunder corpse, and if it goes on like this, it will definitely be consumed first on his side.
Even if it can increase combat experience, it doesn't make her happy.
And there is no treasure on these thunder corpses for her to grab, which is a complete waste of time!
Well, the latter sentence is the point.
"Go in that direction. Shi Qiu controlled the beast and pointed in a certain direction.
Well, in fact, there is a piece of gold all around, and I can't tell which is which, Xian Meng only knows that it is right to follow Shi Qiudong.
"How are these thunder corpses formed?" There was movement in his hands, and his feet did not fall, and Xian Meng's punch hit the armor of the thunder corpse's heart, if there was one, and the huge force shook the thin golden color away, and the thunder corpse was thrown out more than ten meters.
"Their power is strong. Xian Meng shook his hand and said, "If you continue to evolve at this speed, you will reach the Yuan Infant Stage in another hour." β
This is not the most terrifying, at the beginning, the Thunder Corpse actually only had the strength of the late stage of foundation building, and it grew with the increase of time, and now it is comparable to the late stage of Jindan.
There is no doubt that if it continues to develop, it will not only be in the Yuan Infant Period, but it is estimated that it will be able to reach the Fusion Period, and then the three of them will be killed in seconds.
"It's almost there. Shi Qiu's commander, the Qi Beast, and Kung Fu explained, "Those who were decomposed by the golden aura still had a trace of residual thoughts before they died, which is the origin of this thunder corpse. β
"In addition, the thunder corpse has a characteristic, which is to suck people's vitality and grow. Shi Qiu looked sideways at Xian Meng, "Don't you feel it?"
I said why is the wood aura in her body consumed so quickly, obviously she uses gold aura for her usual attacks, but it turns out that she is going to repair the vitality that has been sucked away.
Damn, if you stay any longer, won't you become a dry corpse?!
The walking speed was slow, but I finally reached my destination.
The thunder corpses attacking around seemed to sense that something was wrong, and the attack slowed down, and the outermost ones began to consciously retreat, and Xian Meng and Gu Lang took advantage of this opportunity to quickly converge towards Shi Qiu.
The sky swirled for a while, and I don't know when they touched the teleportation array, and when they reacted, all the thunder aura that had been surrounding them disappeared.
Immortal Meng suddenly felt something, and raised her head sharply.
A large medicine garden, with sufficient spiritual energy, spiritual plants everywhere, and the rich heaven and earth vitality is chaotic and viscous like spiritual liquid, and it is the kind of thunder aura that can be directly absorbed and used for cultivation, and it is by no means a violent thunder aura.
For a moment, Xian Meng thought that he had entered the treasure treasure realm in a daze.
The forbidden storage can be vaguely seen in the sky, the medicine garden is shrouded in it, and in the distance, you can see something that looks like a fence, it should be built by man, but it has been old for a long time and is badly damaged.
"We've entered the ruins?" Xian Meng was vigilant, when he first arrived at a place, it was taboo to take it lightly.
Shi Qiu smiled, "It seems that it is, I didn't expect that after so many years, the teleportation array can still be used, but." He shrugged, "As I sensed just now, this is probably the last time, and we'll have to go out on a different path." β
Xian Meng took the steps he had just taken and retracted it, squatting down and pulling up a herb next to him, "It's good to be able to come in, we can also be regarded as smuggling, right?" I heard that the ruins have been open for five months, and there will always be a way to find the passage slowly. β
However, the ruins have been explored by so many people over the years, and it is estimated that there are not many treasures left inside, which is really unpleasant.
But then again, the medicine garden they arrived at after being teleported was completely unintentionally unpicked, and there was a complete variety of medicinal herbs in it, many of which she had never seen before, which was really strange.
As if seeing Xianmeng's doubts, Shi Qiu glanced at Gu Lang, who was already eating not far away, and said, "Do you know how vast the territory of this ninth island is, it is not surprising that there are places that have not been explored. β
"What's more, the area that can be connected to the place of punishment is most likely not often moved around or is set as a forbidden place, and it is far away from the mountain gate, and there may be many prohibitions in it......" Before the words were finished, Shi Qiu looked at Xian Meng and teased, "Or do you have to have someone to fight with you to feel at ease?"
Xian Meng's answer was of course no, and then his eyes lit up and said, "In this way, it is possible that the area around this medicine garden has not been explored?!" How many treasures must be unearthed there?!
Shi Qiu shook his head, and found that the circuit with Xian Meng had never been on the same line, or could this be called the generation gap caused by his long-term seclusion?
As for Gu Lang, do you dare to stuff the spirit fruit into your mouth a little faster, but you are also carrying the blood of the ancient demon beast, can you be a little more reserved?!
The spiritual plants in the huge medicine garden are all over the place, and you can get a lot of gains by taking a few steps casually, and it is not like exploring the ruins, but to pick up treasures.
After nearly sixty percent of the medicinal plants in the medicine garden were in the bag, an accident appeared.
A hundred-foot-long beast with a long, slender neck covered with dense scales, with a total of six legs, at first glance it looks like an elephant's legs.
"Boom. With a kick lifted and landed fiercely on the prohibition above, the mountains shook for a while, and the earth shook violently.
Xian Meng looked up in amazement, "When did this big guy appear?"
Shi Qiu also seemed to have gained a lot, and said very calmly, "It was there from the beginning." β
Xianmeng, "!" Why don't I know!
At this time, the giant beast was very angry, this medicine garden is the place it is in charge of, because there is a ban on storage, it thinks that no one can enter, in fact, it has been the case for the past hundred years, who wants to wake up and see that the lingzhi inside has been picked seven, seven or eighty, it is simply provoking its majesty!
However, this prohibition is not something that it can unravel, and I don't want to see these people inside continue to pick unscrupulously, so I want to forcibly break the prohibition and kill them as soon as possible.
Perhaps because of the protection of the giant beast, the prohibition above the medicine garden was not firm, and under a few tramples, it was broken by the force and shattered.
The rich aura of heaven and earth was instantly dispersed, forming a small vortex of aura.
"I'll go!" Xian Meng dodged to the side, and the giant beast actually used his head as a pile driver, and every time he lowered his head, it was a hole, and after a few times, the spirit plant was destroyed a lot.
"Someone's coming. Shi Qiu said calmly.
"What's the movement?!" a voice came from outside.
"What a big monster! What's the matter, you can't get inside, there's a formation set up here, there must be a treasure!"
"Quick, let's break it together, don't let anyone get ahead of the curve. β
Xian Meng heard the voices of many people, gritted his silver teeth, and found that Shi Qiu was also looking over, and the two made the same decision, "Go!"
There are a lot of people, and if you see that most of the medicine garden has been picked, you will definitely not let go of the three of you, it is better to take advantage of the fact that before people come in, the good elixir spirit plants will be picked by yourself and others, and you will receive it when you see it first.
Besides, with these people as cannon fodder, the giant beast can also resist one or two.
The three of them had the idea of retreating, but the demon beast refused to let them go, and fireballs spewed out of their mouths and shot in all directions, and the medicine garden was immersed in fire for a while.
This is a typical example of not pleasing oneself and never letting others be good.
"Wasteful, wasteful. Seeing that the spirit vegetation was burning, Xianmeng's heart was simply dripping blood, but the demon beast cultivation was at the peak of the Jindan stage, and it was only a trace away from breaking through the Yuan Infant stage, which was far from something she could handle.
While retreating, they did not forget to accept the herbs when they saw them, and the breaking of the ban provided them with a good escape path.
"Whew. Finding a woodland, Shi Qiu laid a few prohibitions around, and the three of them finally had a break.
Xian Meng took out the fruit pill and threw a bottle to Shi Qiu, they are now considered people in the same boat, and she will not be stingy with her own people.
This is the first time Shi Qiu has taken the pill from Xianmeng's hand, opened the cork and sniffed it, his expression moved, he quietly took the next one, and put the rest away, "Thank you." β
After a little breathing, Xian Meng looked around, and finally fixed his gaze on Shi Qiu, "How do we go next?"
Since the ruins of the nine islands are very large, you can't go blind, even if the exploration time is five months, if you search every inch of land, the time is still not enough.
A medicine garden like Fang that has not been discovered is a good example, otherwise it would not have waited for them to come and get it.
Shi Qiu thought for a moment and frowned slightly, "Although I came here once, I left early due to some accidents during that exploration, and I didn't know the specific situation inside." β
Xian Meng didn't ask what the accident was, and sighed, it seems that it is not possible to find clues in Shi Qiu.
"Speaking of which, if the teleportation array just now can still be used, wouldn't we be able to come in whenever we want?" Xian Meng thought of this.
Gu Langgaba bit the spirit fruit, and during the trip to the medicine garden, his private small treasury was enriched a lot, and he didn't have to worry about running out of food in a short time.
The corners of his mouth hooked, and Shi Qiu smiled, "Do you know why the quota for entering the island is in the hands of the big forces?"
Xian Meng shook his head, "I heard that it is necessary to maintain the large array and pay resources or something." β
"Not bad. Shi Qiu pointed to the top of his head and nodded, "If there is no isolation array above, we will rush in and face only an ocean." β
Xian Meng gasped, imagining such a scene, an environment full of sea, surrounded by submarine whirlpools that can't get out, just thinking about it makes people desperate.
The journey of exploring the ruins began, and without a clear goal, it could only be taken one step at a time.
Of course, what Xian Meng wants most at present is to see if he can find an opportunity to break through the Jindan period inside, only in this way can Gu Lang Xiuwei lift the ban, reach the Yuan Infant Stage, and be able to walk sideways in the ruins.
Half a month passed, and there was not much harvest except for the medicine garden that started.
Before I came in, I thought of Cheng DΓΉ, who had been explored, and this result was not surprising.
But Xian Meng was still inevitably frustrated, so she had to spend her time on cultivation.
"This is the testing ground of the outer disciples of the Great Thunder Wind Demon Sect. Shi Qiu glanced around and said, "Maybe there will be a harvest." β
Xian Meng nodded, and pointed with his hand, "Kraken." β
Yes, and it is a large kraken, and the isolation array only isolates the sea water, and the demon beasts that were originally entrenched on the island still exist, and it has become an obstacle for the monks to explore.
It is also a coincidence that the prohibition on the medicine garden that I just entered was already in zΓ i, and the seawater must be blocked on the way to ensure the integrity of the growth of the spiritual plants inside.
And the long-necked demon beast has been guarding for some years, first, to peek at the treasure inside, and secondly, for fear of breaking the ban and causing the sea water to pour in, destroying the elixir, so he has not dared to make any moves.
This came and went, and he was reluctant to do it, so he cheapened Xian Meng and others who did not take the usual path.
"Mother, I smell the fragrance. Gu Lang said suddenly.
Xian Meng was overjoyed, "Where is it?"
Gu Lang raised his hand and pointed at the place where he had said the trial assessment before.
Someone over there also discovered that the demon beast was in existence, and the two sides were fighting. R1152
