Chapter 46: The Iron Tower
There are still a large number of gerbil star beasts pouring out of each cave, and everyone can only wait patiently.
Ji Fan's super combat power was once again reflected.
He flashed quickly, and every time he stopped, the long knife in his hand swept across the ground.
Except for Tao Yuyan, who was the weakest in cultivation, the rest of them were fighting.
Ye Xiuyuan, Ling Yun, and Ling Yue are also Star Body Realm cultivators, and their combat power is also extraordinary, at least they have more than enough self-preservation.
The number of gerbil star beasts is huge, but their individual strength is really not very good, most of them have not even cultivated, not even a first-level low-level cultivation.
Those slightly larger gerbil star beasts, in fact, are only first-level low-level strength, not to mention second-level powerhouses, even first-level high-level ones are difficult to encounter.
They can't pose much of a threat to Ji Fan and the others in a short period of time, but they are so fearless and crazy to attack, but they can continue to consume the strength and state of Ji Fan and the others.
The rat sea tactics are also extremely terrifying, and besides, there is no second-level existence among them.
Even if there is a second-level existence among the 100,000 gerbil star beasts, then there are by no means a few of their second-level powerhouses.
After holding on for a cup of tea, there was finally a cave where there were no more gerbil star beasts pouring out, and everyone quickly rushed in.
"Childe, are you going to dig a cave up now?"
Tao Yuyan asked Ji Fan.
"You say, 'What is the end of these caves?'
Ji Fan first asked, and then guessed to himself: "I think the end should be the nest of the gerbil star beast." ”
"It's a real possibility. ”
Ye Xiuyuan nodded, and said in surprise: "Brother Ji, you don't want to go to their lair, do you?"
"Why don't you go and have a look?"
Ji Fan said with a relaxed face: "These gerbil star beasts have all run here, their nests must be very empty, and we may be able to gain something." ”
"Brother Ji, do you know something?"
Although he had only been in contact for a few days, Ye Xiuyuan could see that Ji Fan was a very cautious and cautious person, and Ji Fan proposed to go to the gerbil star beast's lair at this time to have a look, definitely not just out of curiosity.
"Huh. ”
Ji Fan smiled and said, "I once saw in a book that the nests of the Star Sand Beasts in the Flying Stone Desert often have something unusual. ”
"Oh?"
Ye Xiuyuan pondered for a moment, his heart was crossed, and he said, "Then let's go and take a look! Once the gerbil star beast here loses its attack target, it will definitely return to its nest soon, we must hurry!"
"I'll lead the way in front, Brother Ye, you and Miss Lingyun are guarding behind. ”
After giving an order, Ji Fan took the lead and quickly advanced towards the depths of the cave.
Along the way, it was discovered that the cave did not exist alone, and that there were many openings that connected to other caves.
This is the territory of gerbilsmen, and there should be a large number of gerbils living in this criss-crossing cave.
This cave is not too deep and long, and everyone has been running for less than a hundred breaths, and the cave has reached its end.
Sure enough, as Ji Fan expected, at the end of the cave was a huge lair.
This nest is also deep underground, more than a thousand feet high, and the diameter of the round base is more than three hundred feet.
The stone walls of the entire lair are covered with dense holes.
In the center of the base of the lair, a three-story iron tower was erected.
The tower is 20 zhang high, and the bottom and top are regular hexagonal shapes, and the bottom is only slightly larger than the top.
The entire iron tower looks extremely heavy, but it is covered with a thick layer of dust, and there is nothing strange about it.
But in the lair of this gerbil star beast, the existence of such an iron tower is a very strange thing in itself.
Of course, apart from this tower, it is naturally impossible for this lair to be free of gerbil star beasts, but the number is not much.
After taking a closer look, Ji Fan's faces also became serious, because the few gerbil star beasts here were all huge, and their strength was obviously not weak.
This should be the lair of the strong people in the gerbil star beast clan, and ordinary gerbil star beasts dare not set foot in it easily.
"Brother Ye, there must be something good in that tower. ”
"After a while, the two of us rushed to the iron tower, first attract the gerbil star beast powerhouses in the iron tower, and then you use the star magic bead to contain them, and I will go into the iron tower to take a look. ”
"Miss Lingyun, a few of you will stay in this cave, and while you are on guard, you will dig a way out. ”
"These gerbil starbeasts are very fond of devouring the stars, if you do encounter a large number of gerbil stars, and you can't resist them, throw some stars to fight for, this will reduce your pressure. ”
After a few words, Ji Fan took Ye Xiuyuan and jumped to the bottom of this huge lair, and quickly rushed to the front of the big iron tower.
"Tsk!"
Several huge gerbil star beasts spotted Ji Fan and the others, and they pounced angrily.
Whew......
Ji Fan and Ye Xiuyuan were back to back, and he waved the long knife in his hand, struggling to resist the attack of the gerbil star beast.
The big movement here has attracted the attention of a lot of gerbil star beasts, and more and more gerbil star beasts have rushed over, many of which are second-level existences.
It didn't take long for a few strong gerbil star beasts to be killed from the big iron tower, and their size was even larger, and their cultivation was obviously stronger.
According to the plan, Ye Xiuyuan decisively sacrificed the Star Phantom Bead, once again causing an illusion to appear in the surrounding large space.
"Brother Ji, you must act quickly, I have urged the Star Phantom Bead twice in a short period of time, and this time the illusion can last for a shorter time!"
Ye Xiuyuan reminded.
"If I don't come out before the illusion collapses, you don't have to wait for me, just rush back and join them. ”
Ji Fan put down this sentence and rushed directly into the big iron tower.
The first floor of the iron tower, which looks like the palace hall, is not only very spacious, but also very solemnly arranged.
Beneath the iron wall facing the gate, there were more than a dozen staircases, and at the top of the staircase was a dark golden throne.
The iron walls on the left and right sides are engraved with many strange words, and Ji Fan doesn't know a single word.
In the center of the hall, there are two rows of large iron pillars, which are also engraved with patterns that I don't know whether they are spells or words, and there are some patterns of birds and animals.
The whole hall was empty and silent.
There was no valuable discovery, and time waited for no one, Ji Fan didn't dare to rub in, so he immediately walked down a staircase and quickly went to the second floor.
There is no door on the second floor, so you can go up the stairs and go directly to the second floor.
Ji Fan didn't walk in directly, just glanced inside at the entrance.
The second floor was the same size as the same floor, but it was much more empty, and there were no iron columns.
However, on the wall facing the staircase, there was a square black slab that clearly protruded.
On the black stone slab, there were scratches of different shades, which looked like sword marks.
There was also no useful discovery on the second floor, and Ji Fan went directly to the third floor.
The third floor is already the top floor, but there is an iron door that looks thick and heavy.
The iron door was tightly closed, Ji Fan hesitated for a moment, but still had the courage to push it with his hand.
Rattle......
The heavy iron door was slowly pushed open.
When the crack in the door widened to two feet wide, a dangerous qi suddenly appeared, and Ji Fan's star soul was also trembling, and he dodged without thinking about it.
Shout!
A brown star-striped demon light, like a sharp sword, flew out from behind the iron gate, and if Ji Fan reacted a little slower by half a beat, he would definitely be hit.
Judging from the strength of this star-striped demon light, the star beast that emitted this demon light should be a second-level mid-level cultivator, and Ji Fan rushed directly into the third floor.
He first saw a giant ding, and then he saw the gerbil star beast at the foot of the giant ding.
The giant tripod is two zhang high, has three legs, and the diameter of the round belly is not less than two zhang, and the body is engraved with strange spell patterns and indecipherable words.
There is a lid on the top of the giant tripod, but the lid does not look like a metal one, but more like a relatively large bone fragment, on which it is also engraved with spell patterns and words.
The entire third floor was very hot, and Rao was already a fourth-order cultivator of the Star Body Realm, and he was sweating profusely just after he came in.
The gerbil starmon looked huge, in fact, it was only half a zhang tall and more than a zhang long, but it was obviously different from the other gerbil starmon in that its fur was not earthy gray, but mostly dark brown and small half fiery red.
"Tsk!"
It seemed that Ji Fan was very dissatisfied with Ji Fan's invasion of the third floor of the iron tower, and the gerbil star beast suddenly stood upright, waving one of its front paws, and screamed angrily at Ji Fan.
Ji Fan knew that a battle was inevitable, and he couldn't compete with the gerbil star, so he could only rush forward and strive to take the initiative.
This is a second-level mid-level gerbil star beast, and its cultivation is about the same as Ji Fan's, but Ji Fan has awakened the existence of the star soul, and he is in an absolute advantage in the soul realm.
Moreover, Ji Fan has already completed a physical transformation, and he will not suffer in terms of body.
It was precisely because of these dependences that he dared to break into this tower alone, even if he encountered a second-level high-level gerbil star beast, even if he could not win, he could retreat with his whole body.
Whoosh ......
But when it really started, Ji Fan found that the other party was extremely powerful, not only moving extremely fast, but also two claws like iron hooks could frequently threaten him.
Gradually, he discovered that although this was a second-level mid-level gerbil star beast, it was not far from the second-level high-level.
If it weren't for the special environment of the Jiuchen Secret Realm, if it was on the Tianchen Continent, Ji Fan was confident that he would easily defeat the opponent in front of him, but the truth was that there was no if.
Fortunately, although the other party's hair color is different, the defense of the fur is not very strong, and the long knife in Ji Fan's hand can tear it apart.
The other party is not good at stubble, and when its claws scratch Ji Fan, it can also tear Ji Fan's armor.
Both of them did their best, full of starlight, the star-striped brilliance burst non-stop, and the powerful momentum caused the entire third floor to be raging in the wind.
Every time Ji Fan hit the opponent three times, the opponent could also scratch him once, thanks to his star soul, which improved his reaction speed and accuracy of judgment.
After nearly a hundred breaths of hard fighting, Ji Fan's clothes and armor were in tatters, and he was covered in deep blood, and his opponent finally collapsed. Peerless Star Soul
