Chapter 116: Tribulation and Trial
According to Zhang Fan's initial impression, even if it was an explosion at the level of two or three hundred thousand tons of nuclear bombs, it should not be able to kill and injure a mid-level powerhouse of thirty gold pills at once, even if the other party was a strong person in the direction of spiritual power whose own resistance was not very strong. But when everything disappeared, Zhang Fan, who came back and approached, saw the thirty fourth-order human-faced spirit fox Jin Dan who were almost killed in one move of the Divine Thunder Cannon, as well as more than two hundred beast slaves and demon beasts that were constantly scattered from the sky. Obviously, under the blow just now, these powerful opponents who tried to form a formation were killed in an instant.
Zhang Fan, who reacted slightly, recalled some of his preparations in the past, and was not relieved. These divine thunder cannons before him were all prepared to deal with genius-level Jindan peak powerhouses and even early Yuanying-level monks. In other words, it can only be used to deal with sixth-level demon beasts. Just talking about the speed of several thousand times the speed of sound plus the power of two or three hundred thousand tons of equivalent hydrogen bombs, it is basically equivalent to the quasi-full force of a monk in the early stage of the transformation of the gods. To deal with these third- and fourth-order demon beasts, and also form a dense formation to fight, of course, it is a second kill. "The next time I deal with a monster beast with this kind of character, I obviously can't use such a high-level thing... At this time, Zhang Fan couldn't help but think.
After less than thirty fourth-order demon beasts, more than two hundred third-order demon beasts and their servants were completely wiped out with a single blow, the second-order demon beasts in many other nearby areas were shocked and hesitated for a moment before they began to scatter and flee. And Zhang Fan also reacted to a large extent, and began to take the initiative without hesitation, and in almost a few seconds, he successively released and controlled multiple ordinary divine thunder cannons to carry out collective firing in a short period of time, and successively fired a hundred "divine thunder cannons" with a combined speed of about 30 times the speed of sound and 4,000 tons of modern explosives, and solved about 500 second-order demon beasts in a short time. Of course, "beast slaves" who do not have much "economic value" are not included. At this time, Zhang Fan didn't even let go of these second-order demon beasts, and of course he had some ideas of his own. If you can encounter some high-level places and auction houses or similar stores that can be exchanged for treasures in the future, low-level goods can also be exchanged for value and benefits. And it's certainly not as glaring as reselling too high-end materials or treasures. Even if you can't find this kind of place in a short period of time, even if it is meaningful to use it as a practice material to improve your refining spiritual system talisman.
In this way, after almost sweeping the core area of this area where the fourth-order demon beasts can gather, Zhang Fan entered the Qiankun Shield again, and the speed of the Qiankun Shield turned on to thirty times the speed of sound, and from the feeling that it looked like a bird in the light curtain, he moved forward again, heading towards another place marked in the "50 Million Miles of General Knowledge". That other place was of course also another suspicious place about 20 million miles away, about 10 million kilometers or so, in the activity area of a fourth-level demon beast.
With some familiarity with the habits of these Jindan-level high-level demon beasts earlier, Zhang Fan didn't dare to challenge the too strong spiritual power demon beast cluster for the time being. Otherwise, if you encounter more than thirty fifth-order demon beasts, even if you can win, will you consume too many top-level divine thunder cannons? That kind of thing is not like the divine thunder cannon at the level of dozens of times the speed of sound and a four-thousand-ton equivalent warhead, and the materials are relatively easy to find at any time...
The next place Zhang Fan went to was still a suspicious area dominated by fourth-order spiritual power demon beasts, and in about ten days or even about ten years in the Qiankun Shield, Zhang Fan first sealed a large number of fourth-order demon beast-level inner pills in a special method and filled them with a lot of spiritual energy in the storage bags he had captured in the first battle of the Luoyun Mountain System and kept them properly, and then further improved some of his attainments in spiritual power in the past ten years.
During this time, Zhang Fan also felt a kind of urgency that had been ignored before. Since he became a strong person who still built a foundation and cultivated two cultivations, his theoretical healthy life span increased from four or five hundred years old in the Qi refining period to six or seven hundred years old, which seemed to be very rich. But because he also practiced in the Qiankun Shield and even delayed for too long, he still has become an "older youth" in terms of external age. "It seems that even if this Qiankun shield can be exchanged for hundreds of times, it is not easy to use it, this round of "gathering" and "hunting" and even decades of cultivation in the Qiankun shield, if you can't get any important opportunities, you have to consider taking a risk... At this time, Zhang Fan couldn't help sighing.
Hundreds of years of healthy lifespan seem like a long time for ordinary people, but Zhang Fan, whose mental power and comprehension have been raised to the thirty-ninth level, can be more aware of the horror of the passage of time than ordinary people. It is no wonder that many monks who have lived for hundreds or thousands of years are willing to take all kinds of risks, and even participate in the struggle between people and forces... I also made up my mind here: after solving another batch of fourth-order golden pills, I may be able to challenge some of the more dangerous places in the "50 million miles of general knowledge" with common sense, and it is estimated that there is a certain probability of a sixth-order demon beast...
The second suspicious area of the fourth-order demon beasts in the "50 Million Miles of General Knowledge" that Zhang Fan came to was called the "Falling Soul Mountain System", which was also a vast area with a radius of about one million miles like the Luoyun Mountain System. However, it is still a large area of barren mountain forest, as in many places, but this mountain forest seems to be relatively gentle, and the dense and huge strange temperate trees generally rise to more than 100 meters, and even at noon, it seems to be as if it were night to travel in this dense forest. That perennial dark illusion would only make some ordinary people who were inferior in their minds feel a slight sense of fear, but when a master of spiritual power like Zhang Fan entered the jungle of the Fallen Soul Mountain, he actually had a slight fear that could barely be detected in his state of mind? This is a little strange. But fortunately, with his mental strength, he doesn't seem to have found any warning signs that can threaten his fundamental safety for the time being.
After going deep into this dense forest, and walking back and forth between the canopy and the bushes several times, Zhang Fan also discovered some doorways: this invisible towering forest seemed to have the effect of covering some aura, which could prevent some monks flying in the air outside from discovering even demon beasts with spiritual power of the first and second order. As a result, even a monk of Zhang Fan's level of spiritual power could only find some strange things when he flew under the tree. Fortunately, the trees here are very tall, and the density of the trees is not very large, flying ten times the speed of sound in it, with Zhang Fan's control ability at this time, he can also ensure that he does not hit the trees and trunks. Although Zhang Fan couldn't fully exert his mental power in this wood, which seemed to be affected to a certain extent, with his keen sense and temptation of the dangerous aura, he quickly approached the assembly place where the high-level demon beasts in the forest discovered that a powerful foreign enemy had broken in and launched a search and clearance.
"Seniors, why are you so unrelenting to our group of juniors? We were all a group of hard-working people in our lifetimes, so why bother us?" When Zhang Fan was getting closer and closer to the target in the gloomy forest, the enemy group that felt the threat seemed to be showing weakness and said, as if he intended to avoid fighting. However, judging from the trend that those breaths have not dispersed, it is obvious that he still feels that with his special geographical advantages, magic array, and military strength, he can compete with a strong opponent of Zhang Fan's level. After all, there has never been a character in this world who can make a move that is the peak of Jindan or even a higher level of attack power.
Zhang Fan thought about it roughly, maybe these legendary ghosts of the First Tribulation also have a spirit comparable to that of humans? After all, the ghosts of humans or monks are always different from demon beasts.
"Can you tell me, do you know of a lonely city called Henglan Zongli?" Zhang Fan suddenly asked at this time. This is a lonely city about 10,000 miles away from here, which is obviously not far for a Jindan-level monk, and he should be able to hear a lot of things. If the other person has intelligence, he should be able to follow his own words. ”
But then, the voice began to ramble like an immature chatbot at the beginning of the 21st century, making Zhang Fan sure that these targets should be ghosts without intelligence. Perhaps, the ghost-like demon beast on this face will also have to reach the level of the Yuan Infant level to evolve enough civilized spiritual intelligence?
These first-order ghosts were indeed extraordinary, although the mental skills at medium and close ranges were not too strong. But the ability to conceal his whereabouts and even arrange the magic circle is very strong, and when Zhang Fan broke into the threat area, he found himself suddenly in the phantom array. The surrounding dark forest instantly becomes full of birds and flowers, which makes people feel particularly relaxed. A group of young girls who did not seem to be much of a threat seemed to be running towards them from the flowers, and there were forty-eight of them.
It seems that they feel that such a phantom array will be recognized by a strong person like Zhang Fan, and these little girls seem to have no intention of hiding their identities: "Save us! We know that the superior is a kind person, and as long as the superior can take us away, we are willing to give everything we have ... ”
Outwardly, perceiving the aura of these little girls is roughly the level of converting the strength of the second-order demon beasts, but when these children approach from all directions to a position of about twenty steps away from them, which seems to be some distance away. Zhang Fan felt a panic that he only felt when facing a strong enemy who could match him, so he subconsciously used a divine thunder cannon that had already been arranged in the Qiankun shield to violently fire in the direction of the threat. There is no doubt that just what you see on the surface will not give you such a big sense of threat.
Under the violent backseat, his body retreated a distance of twenty zhang in an instant, and the violent explosion covered almost the entire space. At least in a short period of time, the three 4,000-ton equivalent Shenlei artillery shells arranged near the exit of the Qiankun shield made Zhang Fan himself feel a huge impact at such a close distance, and if he hadn't dodged in the Qiankun shield in time, maybe even he would have been injured. The explosion of tens of thousands of tons of modern equivalent explosives has also opened up a vacant land with a radius of about 100 acres in this magical fantasy forest.
Forty-seven unique energy soul cores suddenly appeared at this time, and after the explosion, it was obvious that this ghost-oriented monk also had a unique energy core after improving his combat power to the fourth-order demon beast level. Zhang Fan had no intention of letting it go, and quickly took advantage of the time, flow, velocity, reaction and mobility in the Qiankun Shield. Obviously: these ghosts and monsters have a super ability to cover their breath, and their mental skills are not weak, but they are obviously more vulnerable in the face of thunderstorm attacks.
At this time, Zhang Fan suddenly felt a stinging pain in the top of his head, and it seemed that he suddenly felt like an electric shock. So he reacted quickly and maneuvered desperately within the Qiankun shield. But it seems that he still got hit, a terrifying ghost king whose stealth ability can completely shield his perception, and he was not hit hard in the previous explosion, seems to follow Zhang Fan into the Qiankun shield in an instant, and instantly broke through the "talisman" that Zhang Fan had just tried to make before and lurked in Zhang Fan's sea of consciousness.
Zhang Fan didn't expect that in this place where this group of fourth-order demon beasts should theoretically exist, there was actually a three-tribulation ghost that stood out from the crowd and was equivalent to a seventh-order shape-transforming demon beast, and it was also the three-tribulation ghost at the level of its step-transformation demon beast, which completely blocked Zhang Fan's perception of the thirty-ninth-order spiritual power, and could easily go straight into the other party's soul to start a seizure.
"Hehe, God help me! I really didn't expect this monk to have such a level of heavy treasure!" a middle-aged woman's voice laughed, although the voice is not true or false like those monsters that can only translate beast language into human language like chatbots or game NPCs, but being able to make accurate evaluations based on previously unknown things shows the essence of having human-level intelligence. Zhang Fan is different from the kind of prepared situation in many fantasy novels when he encounters a strong enemy, but encounters a strong enemy who has the ability to fall into trouble under a completely unexpected situation.
