Chapter 501: Exploring the Bottom of the Lake
And Qingfeng was already ready to capture the souls of Zhao Fang and his four apprentices, and the space blockade had already been arranged. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
When the spirit peak of Hua Longfei and the four people flew out of the heavenly spirit cover, they were suddenly sucked into the transparent container in Qingfeng's hand by a powerful suction, and the soul shot like electricity, and the blue soul fire quickly rushed into the container, completely blocking the sight of the soul of Hua Longfei and the four people.
They screamed in terror, but their voices could not be heard, and in less than two or three hours they would be burned into nothingness under the scorching fire of their souls.
Ling Feng couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, they shouldn't have died with Zhao Fang, but, if they want to blame, they can only blame Taibai Immortal Mountain and Qingyu Valley for being two different forces, and they are the same as fire and water.
Qingfeng put the container into the space ring, but frowned and adopted, looked at Zhao Fang who fell to the ground, and said, "Which of the two of you discovered Zhao Fang's soul just now?" ”
Yuwen shook his head, and Lingfeng also shook his head, now they can completely release their spiritual sense, and after some exploration, none of the three of them found Zhao Fang's soul, and now Qingfeng began to wonder, did this Zhao Fang use some means to hide his soul? If he is given a chance to escape, then in time, if he refines another physical body, he will regain his peak strength, and then all their efforts will be in vain.
"Let's look for it again." Lingfeng said that his spiritual sense had already been continuously probing within hundreds of thousands of zhang in the surrounding area, but he still hadn't found Zhao Fang's soul.
At this moment, Ling Feng looked at Qingfeng and then at Yuwen Jue, their faces were not very good-looking now.
At a glance, it was clear that neither of them had discovered Zhao Fang's soul.
"It's strange, could he have evaporated from the world?" Qingfeng Channel.
"Let's look for it again, if we can't find it again, we can only give up." Yuwen decided, with Zhao Fang's strength, there must be some way to completely hide the soul breath, even if he refuses to show up, then the three of them are digging three feet into the ground, and there is nothing they can do with him.
Ling Feng nodded and said, "It seems that this is the only way." ”
Next, the three of them searched carefully for a while, but in the end, they still didn't find Zhao Fang's soul and had to give up.
Ling Feng's mood was a little heavy, and he turned around and glanced at the soldiers not far away.
The heavy rain suddenly stopped miraculously at this time, the dark clouds dispersed, and the sky was sprinkled with warm sunshine.
The soldiers couldn't help but cheer when they saw the sunshine, and now they felt how happy they were to see the sun.
"Disperse them." Lingfeng Road.
The huge column of water in the big lake has slowly fallen, and finally turned into a stream of water like a big spring, churning in the center of the big lake, Lingfeng gathered all the soldiers, stood on a high place, first glanced at the water flow in the center of the big lake, and then his eyes fell on the soldiers.
"Brothers, I am very unfortunate to tell you that the Third Elder of Qingyu Valley and his four apprentices have all died, and now that you are free, from now on, return to the Heavenly Jade Empire." Ling Feng said loudly.
All the soldiers were very shocked, Zhao Fang of the Xiaoxiao Heaven Realm and his four apprentices with the strength of the Taixiao Heaven Realm actually died? What happened as they watched the huge column of water?
They couldn't believe their ears.
Ling Feng knew that those soldiers couldn't believe it, and explained: "After Lord Zhao left the Great Lake, he was already seriously injured, and he was bewitched by the things at the bottom of the lake, and the six relatives did not recognize him, and they did something to his four apprentices, which caused the current tragedy, no matter what, today, you are all free, you can choose to add the Heavenly Jade Empire, or you can choose to stay." ”
Everyone was silent, the death of Zhao Fang and his four apprentices was nothing more than excellent news for them, they no longer had to be persecuted by Zhao Fang, they no longer had to do manual work, and they no longer had to be oppressed like coolies.
It's just that things are really that simple?
At least Lu Hong didn't think so, his little eyes kept turning, thought for a while, walked out of the crowd, came to Lingfeng, and whispered: "Wu Fan, where are you going to go?" ”
Ling Feng stared at him, Lu Hong's thoughts, Ling Feng had already seen it clearly, assassinating Zhao Fang, this guy was also involved.
In other words, he and that Zhang Feng both had some secrets, secrets about Wu Fan's plan to assassinate Zhao Fang.
Ling Feng once thought about ending up with the two of them, so that this secret would be buried in the ground with the two of them forever.
After thinking about it, he gave up this idea, he had killed enough mortals, if he had the blood of mortals on his hands, I was afraid that it would be detrimental to his cultivation of immortals in the future.
Moreover, Lu Hong and Zhang Feng, they only knew that the person who planned the assassination of Zhao Fang was Wu Fan, but they didn't know that his true identity was Lingfeng.
And now, Lu Hong came over and asked him where he was going, the purpose was very simple, they were now back to the Tianyu Empire, it was already very unsafe, Qingyu Gu knew that the three elders and the four disciples under him had died in the hunchback grass beach for unknown reasons, the first one would arrest them for interrogation, and after that, they would go to the Yuma Grassland to come to the Barren Temple.
As for what means the high-level leaders of Qingyu Valley were going to use to investigate the death of Zhao Fang and his four apprentices, that would be a matter for the future.
"I haven't decided where I'm going yet." Ling Feng smiled faintly and said.
Lu Hong asked again, "You don't plan to go back to the Heavenly Jade Empire?" ”
Ling Feng shook his head and said, "I have no home and no mouth, and the four seas can be my home, so why do I need to go back to the Heavenly Jade Empire?" ”
Lu Hong nodded, "Since you have decided, then I will follow you in the future and be your little brother." ”
Ling Feng shook his head again and said, "You shouldn't follow me, if you really like to be an officer, I believe that those commanders of the Chongzhen Empire will definitely welcome you." ”
Lu Hong was stunned, he thought about following Lingfeng, just because he was resourceful, he would definitely be able to avoid the pursuit of Qingyu Valley, but now he directly refused and showed himself a way.
Lu Hong lowered his head and thought for a while before he said, "Thank you brother for your advice." ”
Now that he has figured it out, maybe joining the army of the Chongzhen Empire is not a bad thing, although he is only a minor officer, he also has a lot of information about the army of the Tianyu Empire, I believe that this information is useful for the Chongzhen Empire.
He turned around and returned to the team, called Zhang Feng, and whispered to the other soldiers, but no one spoke.
But they all took a step, followed Lu Hong and Zhang Feng, and walked into the distance.
Ling Feng watched the soldiers go away, and then turned his head to look at the tent not far away.
The tents are still there, but the people are gone.
……
In the evening.
There were a few sunsets burning in the sky.
On the edge of the great lake, a bonfire was raised, and the flames were as red as the sunset.
On the edge of the fire, Lingfeng stirred the game surrounded by flames, and the fragrance was overflowing.
Yuwen lay lazily on the ground, the ground was very damp, he deliberately took a quilt from the tent and spread it on the ground, but there was still moisture constantly through the quilt, seeping into the clothes, and now his back was wet, but he was lazy to turn over, and kept his eyes closed.
Qingfeng has been sitting quietly by the campfire, holding a shiny throwing knife in his hand, staring at the flying knife all the time, his eyes unblinking.
The three of them seem to be very relaxed, but their spirits are secretly tense.
It's been an afternoon, and Zhao Fang's soul hasn't come out yet.
"Alright." Ling Feng pulled back the roasted golden hare from the fire, and was not afraid of the heat at all, reached out and tore off a leg, and handed it to Yuwen Jue.
Yuwen never opened his eyes, reached out and took the rabbit leg, took a bite, and chewed, "Fragrant!" ”
Ling Feng smiled, tore off another rabbit leg, and threw it at Qingfeng, Qingfeng caught it, cut the meat on the leg into thin slices with a flying knife, tied it up again, and sent it to his mouth, chewing while saying: "Wait until tomorrow morning, if we can't find that old guy again, we will go back." ”
Ling Feng nodded, didn't speak, he looked at the big lake that had completely regained its calm, and there seemed to be expectation and concern in his eyes.
It's been a long time.
"Senior brother, tomorrow morning, you can go back first." Ling Feng said suddenly.
"What are you going to do?" Qingfeng had already eaten the meat on the rabbit's leg, and was holding the remaining bones in front of him to look at them.
It seems that the bones have a great attraction to him.
"I have something to do." Lingfeng Road.
"Are you sure you're really not going back with us?" Qingfeng Channel.
Ling Feng said with great certainty: "Sure, this matter is very important to me, and I have to do it." ”
Qingfeng's eyes flickered, and he didn't ask Lingfeng what he was going to do, now that the assassination mission had been completed, they could rest for a while, and now, Lingfeng had become an ordinary disciple of Taibai Immortal Mountain, where he wanted to go, he only needed to say hello to his master.
"Do you have to tell your master when the time comes?" Qingfeng Channel.
Ling Feng nodded and said, "Then it's troublesome Senior Brother Qingfeng." ”
"I'd better go." At this moment, Yuwen decided to sit up and said.
Qingfeng glanced at Yuwen Du and said, "That's fine, then you can go." ”
"Senior brother, be more careful." Yuwen dug Lingfeng's shoulder and said.
Ling Feng smiled and said, "Don't worry." ”
The bonfire was bright, the game was fragrant, the three of them ate it, and each hid to pretend to sleep, until the early morning, there was still no soul fluctuation within a radius of hundreds of thousands of zhang, Qingfeng and Yuwen decided to set off back to Taibai Immortal Mountain.
After Lingfeng said goodbye to them, he waited for Qingfeng and Yuwen Jue's breath to disappear completely, stood on the edge of the big lake, looked at the clear water, and said to himself: "Zhao Fang, what happened to you at the bottom of the lake?" ”
For the sake of Feng Xiao, this big lake, he must go down, the ancient demon dragon bone, he must receive the hand.
However, now Ling Feng is worried about whether he can deal with the ancient demon dragon soul alone, and even the strength of Zhao Fang Xiaoxiao Heavenly Realm was seriously injured after going down to the lake, and Ling Feng is not at all sure that he will be able to come out alive after going down to the lake.
Even if he can live, his fate will definitely be worse than Zhao Fang's.
The sun gradually rises and the Great Lake is fully illuminated.
Lingfeng had been standing on the shore for a long time, like a sculpture, motionless.
Finally, he took a deep breath, his gaze became sharp, he jumped up, and instantly reached a height of more than ten zhang, drew a beautiful line in the air, and plunged into the lake with a thud.
The lake water in the morning was cold, although it was not as penetrating as ice water, but it still made Lingfeng shiver after entering the water.
The constant foam in front of him floated to the surface of the water, and the spiritual peak burst out, running spiritual power, standing still, gently bowing his head, looking into the depths.
Because it was underwater, his vision was a little blurry, but he still saw a huge dragon shadow emitting a red light in the darkness at the bottom of the lake.
Ling Feng's eyes couldn't help but widen, and his heart beat faster, this is the remains of the Ancient Demon Dragon!
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Ling Feng instantly regained his composure, below, there is still the Ancient Demon Dragon Soul that is still not dispersed after tens of millions of years, and he is not at all clear about the strength of that guy now.
However, he was sure that the strength of the Ancient Demon Dragon Soul would definitely be able to crush him.
After hesitating for a while, Ling Feng finally paddled his arms, cooperated with his hands and feet, and swam towards the bottom of the lake.
Quiet, the surroundings are very quiet, quiet except for the sound of his gentle stroke, there is no sound, he has drawn a long foam in the water, unconsciously, has reached a depth of more than ten zhang.
By this depth, the light had become very dim, and only a few thick eyeliners shining from the surface of the lake flickered in front of his eyes.
The strong water pressure pressed his clothes, clinging to his body, making him feel very uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but speed up the speed of running his spiritual power.
The spiritual power gathered around his body, forming a white light spiritual power cover, completely isolating the water pressure from the outside.
Without the interference of water pressure, Lingfeng dived a lot faster, and after a few breaths, he advanced more than ten zhang.
When the light arrived here, it seemed to have been absorbed by the water, and the surroundings were completely plunged into darkness, Ling Feng took out a night pearl and put it in his mouth, and with the white light emitted by the night pearl, he saw that the surroundings were full of flocculent objects the size of sand grains.
These things are found in almost every body of water, mixed with dead fish and rotten shrimp, plant corpses, and dust, it is not surprising, but what makes Ling Feng feel surprised is that there is not even a living thing in this lake, not even a fish, a shrimp, or a turtle with a hard shell.
Ling Feng couldn't help but wonder if it was because the bottom of this lake was the burial ground of the ancient demon dragon, and its demonic nature affected the environment of the great lake, causing the extinction of the creatures in the lake?
Thinking about it, his movements still did not stop, and by the time he swam to the bottom of the lake and touched the cold mud and sand, almost half a pillar of incense had passed.
After estimating, Lingfeng was shocked to find that the depth of this big lake was at least one hundred and fifty or sixty zhang, and if the water was drained and looked down from the shore, this was a veritable cliff.
He tore away the mud and sand, grabbed a stone at the bottom of the lake with his left hand, and when the sand had settled, he turned his head to look at the huge skeleton that was barely two feet away.
Because of the limited range of light from the Night Pearl, he could only see the tip of the iceberg of bones, and what appeared in front of him was like the vertebrae of an ancient demon dragon, and the huge bone joints were connected together, extending into the distance like an iron chain.
On this iron chain of bones, there are also semicircular ribs, round by circle, in the shape of a barrel, thick in the front and thin in the back, which are arranged very regularly towards the tail of the bones.
Because it had sunk to the bottom of the lake for too long, the water-eroded surface of the bones of the ancient demon dragon was covered with fingernail-sized particles that emitted a faint red light.
Ling Feng took out a flying knife, took one out and tested the hardness in his hand, the thing was like steel, and he used his spiritual power to crush it.
Now Ling Feng had also realized that the huge red dragon shadow he saw on it was the work of these glowing red stones.
As for how this thing was formed, it should be that this large lake contains a special mineral, which has been precipitated for many years, and a layer of crystals has been attached to the bones of the ancient demon dragon.
Turning his head, Ling Feng glanced into the distance, the surrounding mud and sand, there were very obvious shovel marks, obviously, Zhao Fang had already cleaned up this place when he came down.
Ling Feng realized at this time that the old guy was really careful, but he didn't need to do it again.
Slowly, he paddled lightly, holding the huge skeleton and floating forward, counting the number of ancient demon dragon ribs as he floated.
It wasn't until he swept past the last rib and only a long spine was left in front of him that Ling Feng stopped, and secretly thought in his heart: "There are twenty-four pairs." ”
There are twelve pairs of human ribs, each pair is symmetrical to each other, and the number of ribs of this ancient demon dragon is twice as much as that of humans, and now Lingfeng began to calculate, if he used this ancient demon dragon bone to refine a skeleton for Feng Xiao, he would need to trim and splice it in order to form a perfect human skeleton.
Next, Ling Feng went from the sternum part of the ancient demon dragon's bones to the tail, and then circled back, stopping at the twentieth pair of ribs, his right arm hugged the huge ribs, wrinkled and adopted, thoughtful.
After careful inspection, he found that this ancient demon dragon skeleton was extremely intact, and there was no trace of defects, but he had to spend a lot of effort to clean up the mineral crystals attached to the surface of the bones.
Also, this huge skeleton is nearly half a zhang wide and ten zhang long, and it is impossible to completely fit into the space ring without shrinking.
Because of this, Lingfeng was worried, he couldn't carry this huge keel back to Taibai Immortal Mountain, right?
As he pondered how to put away the ancient demon dragon bone, danger was slowly approaching him.
In the darkness in the distance, two huge red lights suddenly lit up, and an invisible wave affected the lake, rippling small wrinkles.
"Knock knock!"
It was like the sound of a heartbeat, which sounded from the ribs, and the water played a role in transmitting, and the sound reached Lingfeng's ears, as if someone had struck a huge leather drum in his ear, shocking and powerful.
"Knock knock!"
The voice sounded again, Ling Feng was instantly alert, and looked at the chest cavity of the bones, he really thought that even if this ancient demon dragon had been dead for I don't know how many years, there was still a breath of life, he had already turned into the heart of the sludge at the bottom of the lake, and now he was rejuvenated and beating.
