Chapter 16: The Shadow Stone
"Li Hexian, what's wrong? What's wrong?"
Suddenly, he lost his psychic connection with Li Hexian, and the little fox screamed in a hurry because he was suddenly attacked. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Li Hexian was stunned for a moment, came back to his senses, and said, "It's okay, wait a minute, I have made a discovery." β
Lee Chord stands on a rock, overlooking below.
This rock is a little higher than the surrounding area, so Li Hexian raised his eyes at the moment and saw a wide range.
Looking over at this moment, the overlook map of the Black Water Dragon Turtle Island and the map in his mind gradually overlapped.
"It can't be so coincidentalβ" Lee muttered, patting the storage bag and pulling out a delicate box.
This box was the loot obtained by killing Qian Liang at that time.
Inside the box, there is an old map.
When Lee saw the map at the time, he couldn't recognize the place it depicted.
But standing on the rock just now, he inadvertently glanced down, and he was surprised to find that this map seemed to depict the topography of Black Water Dragon Turtle Island!
At this moment, he shook the map open, compared it slightly, and immediately confirmed his judgment.
Whether it is the overall outline of the map or some of the details, at this moment, Li Hexian compares with the terrain and landforms he sees, and they all match one by one.
"It's really the map of the Black Water Dragon Turtle Island-" Li Hexian's brows furrowed slightly, "Is this just a coincidence?"
Looking at the map in his hand, Li Hexian couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"Qian Liang is the fourth layer of the Mortal Realm, according to reason, if he doesn't die, he will definitely come to participate in this outer disciple assessment, but looking at this box, it is obviously to be dedicated to someone.
Coincidentally, the map depicted the Black Water Dragon Turtle Island, that is to say, when there were still two months before the assessment of the outer disciples, he already knew that the location of the assessment was chosen here.
Who gave him this information? Where did he get this map, and to whom is he going to dedicate it?"
Li Hexian looked up at the sky and thought about it carefully, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there seemed to be a conspiracy in this.
Looking at the map carefully for a moment, Li Hexian suddenly jumped at the corner of his eyebrows.
At this moment, through this map, the entire Black Water Dragon Turtle Island, overlooking it, is like a huge eyeball.
And in the very center of the eyeball, that is, in the center of the Black Water Dragon Turtle Island, there is a significant topographic depression.
And on the map, this center has also been marked with an imperceptible mark, as if to remind those who receive it to pay attention to this location.
"Is there something there? Qian Liang gave this map to someone, just hoping that someone would go there?" Li Hexian's brain kept running, kept thinking, and soon speculated on all kinds of possibilities.
After a long while, Li Hexian came back to his senses amid the constant calls of the little fox.
He glanced at the map again, memorized the terrain of the entire island, and then shook his head: "I have to think so much about what to do, go and see for myself, don't you know what's going on, it's just a waste of time to think here for so long and make all kinds of guesses." β
With this thought, he immediately felt relaxed, settled down, and told the little fox about the fact that he found that the map depicted the Black Water Dragon Turtle Island.
"How coincidental is it?" Listening to the little fox's tone, it also seemed to think that this matter was not so simple, "I'll go through the ancient books later, and see if there is any mention of anyone who has depicted the map of the Black Water Dragon Turtle Island." β
"Good. Li Hexian nodded, and held the stone that the little fox asked him to find before in the palm of his palm, "I have found the black stone you asked me to find before, what is this?"
This stone was only the size of Li Hexian's little thumb, but at this moment, Li Hexian felt an eerie chill from the top of the stone.
This chill seemed to pass directly over his flesh and bones, and went straight to the bone marrow.
Even Li Hexian, who has such a strong blood and blood, feels a little unbearable if he takes it for a long time.
"That's the Yin Soul Stone. The little fox explained, "It is a stone that can suck people's souls." β
"Ghost cultivator?" Li Hexian frowned.
He knew that in the Immortal Spirit Continent, some cultivators would fall into the Demon Dao in order to pursue power, and these cultivators, according to the evil arts they cultivated, were divided into blood cultivation, ghost cultivation, and so on.
Ghost cultivation is to reverse yin and yang, manipulate yin souls and dead corpses, etc., relying on ghosts to enhance their own strength and even extend their lifespan.
Because they have been accompanied by Yin Soul all year round, ghost cultivators also give people a sense of Yin Qi, and in order to get a powerful Yin Soul corpse, they will take the initiative to harm people, and even some ghost cultivators will kill hundreds of thousands or millions of people in order to sacrifice a powerful magic weapon, and inflict all kinds of torture on ordinary people, just so that these people can accumulate enough resentment and fear before they die, and provide them with use.
Therefore, among the demon cultivators who are like rats crossing the street, everyone shouts and beats, and the ghost cultivators are the kind that everyone sees and criticizes.
On the Immortal Spirit Continent, large-scale ghost cultivation had been wiped out thousands of years ago, and now the few that remain dare not appear casually.
Once it appears, it will be hunted down and killed, and it will never die.
It was precisely because of his disgust with ghost cultivation that he heard that this Yin Soul Stone could absorb souls at this moment, so Li Hexian's first instinctive reaction was disgust.
The little fox seemed to sense Li Hexian's thoughts, and explained: "The pure Yin Soul Stone is naturally something used by ghost cultivators, but the Yin Soul Stone in your hand has too many impurities, if all the impurities are removed, I estimate that it is less than the size of a grain of sand." So let alone sucking people's souls, I'm afraid that even an ant can't be crushed to death. β
Li Hexian pondered for a while, and then asked, "Can the Yin Soul Stone accumulate into a Yin Soul Stone that is enough to absorb people's souls?"
"Uh......" The little fox was stunned and said in surprise, "You want to ...... Cultivating the exercises of ghost cultivation?"
"It's not. Li Hexian said: "I may be useful to the Yin Soul Stone in the future, and the so-called exercises are not good or bad, only the people who perform the exercises are good and bad." β
Hearing Li Hexian say this, the little fox was shocked, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt that Li Hexian was particularly reasonable.
It knows that Li Hexian has the ability to absorb qi and blood.
But in its impression, it had never seen Li Hexian take the initiative to absorb human cultivators.
Often, even if he killed an enemy, even if the enemy was a human cultivator, he wouldn't absorb it.
The objects he absorbs are all wild beasts, zombies, and demons.
If it was a person with a bad heart and an ability like Li Hexian, I am afraid that he would have fallen into the demon path long ago and become a notorious blood cultivator.
The little fox believed in Li Hexian's character, and he was able to walk through the Bamboo Forest of Inquiry, which also showed that he was a person with an extremely firm mind and would not be easily shaken, so the little fox quickly found a book about the Yin Soul Stone and explained it to Li Hexian.
"The Yin Soul Stone will only appear in places with strong resentment, and the deceased must have extremely strong resentment and unwillingness at the moment of death, and it itself is strong enough, so that in the long years, it can give birth to the Yin Soul Stone.
In essence, the Yin Stone is not a stone, but a substance that resembles a flow of water and a stone, which can be gathered from less to more. β
The little fox explained, and added: "This black water dragon turtle itself is an ancient fierce beast, and it has cultivated to the point of the Void Demon Saint, this strength, in the entire Xuanyue Sect, I am afraid that few people can match it."
It was brutal by nature, and when it was suppressed by the sect master of the Xuanyue Sect, it was unwilling and resentful. These grievances are now not only condensed into the Gargoyle, but also condensed into the Gargoyle's body.
The Northridge Corpse Land we visited before, although there were countless corpses and ancient battlefields, the zombies there were not strong enough, so they couldn't produce Yin Soul Stones.
In comparison, there is a small possibility that the Huangquan Ancient Land can condense a little bit in the gathering places of some zombie emperors, but the number is definitely much less than that on the Black Water Dragon Turtle Island. β
Li Hexian smiled when he heard this: "Then I should grasp this opportunity, after this village, there will be no such shop." β
"Yes, and the more pure resentment a gargoyle, the greater the chance of having a Yin Soul Stone around, but the greater the danger. The little fox said in a concerned tone, "You have to be careful. β
"I know. Lee nodded and stepped forward.
His gaze was directly at the center of the Black Water Dragon Turtle Island, the place that had been marked on the map before.
Five days passed quickly.
In the past five days, Li Hexian has approached the center of the Black Water Dragon Turtle Island.
But because the Black Water Dragon Turtle Island is too big, and the terrain is complicated, and in many places, it can only be detoured, so Li Hexian is still about two days away from the center at the moment.
In the past five days, he has killed many demonized desolate beasts, and absorbed extremely abundant qi and blood.
It's a pity that the kind that was similar to the Demon Tree before, but I didn't encounter another one, which made Li Hexian have some regrets.
In addition to this, he also killed several resentful demons, so that the number of Yin Soul Stones in his hand reached six.
These Yin Soul Stones, like the original one, are full of many impurities, according to Li Hexian's estimate, after extraction, the condensed essence is not very big.
"The main thing is that I haven't been able to meet the Demon Leader, and this is the fifth day. Lee shook his head.
In the past few days, on the way to the road, he also saw the corpses of some miscellaneous disciples of the Xuanyue Sect, except for when he first came here, he never saw a living fellow disciple.
Li Hexian had a faint feeling that there was a force that separated them after these miscellaneous disciples entered the Black Water Dragon Turtle Island.
Thinking of the map of unknown origin, Li Hexian felt more and more that things were a little weird.
After walking some distance further, all of a sudden, Li Hexian's heart moved.
He heard the sound of a fight not far ahead.
