Chapter 108: Genuine Panic and False Premonition
Looking inwardly at the alarm of the monitoring elf, Zhang Deming was slightly stunned for a moment before reacting. Immediately, his complexion changed drastically, and he decisively walked out of the nurturing space.
At this moment, Li Shifan, who was outside, had already come to the side of the hidden formation and stretched out his hand.
"Wait!!" Seeing this, Zhang Deming said eagerly.
Li Shifan stretched out his hand, and the four of them turned their heads in unison, looking at Zhang Deming suspiciously.
"I don't know why, I suddenly have a bad premonition, so let's be careful first!" Zhang Deming, who was looked at by the four people suspiciously, paused and said with a little hesitation.
The three of them frowned slightly, Li Shifan's expression moved, he knew better than anyone that Zhang Deming had a lucky boss like Huang Lao behind him.
With such a big guy to take care of, this kind of premonition that seems to have no head or tail and is untenable is really possible.
After all, he occasionally has inexplicable feelings, and such a premonition has helped him survive in this back mountain more than once.
And in the past few days, since he entered the mission point, he has been inexplicably flustered, and he has never found the source.
"Senior Brother Evoker, how do you want to investigate?" Li Shifan said.
Zhang Deming smiled: "This is simple! ”
After speaking, Zhang Deming spread his hands, and a spiritual light appeared in his hand, and in a flash, it turned into a super-large spiritual seed the size of a grain of rice.
With the surge of Zhang Deming's spiritual power, the spirit seed actually changed in the palm of Zhang Deming's hand, and in a moment, under the strange gaze of the three people, he turned into a pearl villain.
With the flashes of dreamy light, the villain came to life directly.
Looking at this series of changes, everyone was stunned, especially Li Shifan, although he had always known the summoning of Zhang Deming's departure, he had always thought that Zhang Deming was summoned by the demon spirit.
After all, after seeing him a few times, Zhang Deming integrated into the demonic group into his body. Of course, more often than not, what I see is Zhang Deming's extremely good rattan technique.
Now that he suddenly saw the villain that the spirit seed had changed into, Li Shifan realized that Zhang Deming seemed to be summoning a plant, so the senior brother's hand vine technique was a summon for him?
That······ So the superb rattan technique, is it the vine demon bizarre of the senior brother, or the superb mastery that the senior brother controls when he uses it?
Perhaps it was the rattan technique that impressed Li Shifan too much before, but among the different expressions of the four people, Li Shifan's thinking kept diverging.
Nangong Cheng looked at the pearl villain and said: "It turns out that the demon plant summoned by Daoyou Go, no wonder it is called Summoning Spirit, I was wondering before, why Daoyou is so profound in vine art, it is indeed a summoning monk." Now that I look at it, everything makes sense. ”
When Nangong Cheng spoke, the pearl-sized person, after coming to life, shrank rapidly, and instantly became invisible to the naked eye.
The four of them were stunned again, and Tong Hou was stunned and said in surprise: "How big and small? A summoning variant of the Wishful Arts? ”
Originally, looking at the pearl man, everyone thought that this thing was that big, and no one thought about the size of the wish. After all, the art of earth shattering is so good that it is difficult to learn, and some are even rare and difficult to learn.
Zhang Deming smiled, looked at the two of them and said, "It's just a slight trick, it's embarrassing." ”
Between the words, another grain of rice-like spirit seed emerged, turned into a villain again, and then shrunk and disappeared. In this way, Zhang Deming threw out more than a dozen villains in a row, and about half of the spiritual power in his body was consumed.
Liangyi cultivation, the use of magic-level spells is already huge, summoning, or nurturing spirit summoning, it is even worse.
However, the benefits are also huge, the bean soldiers he summoned casually, plus the dream technique, are very smart, no less than the intelligence of an ordinary person.
Ordinary bean-sprinkling soldiers, if they want to make such a wise bean soldier, they can't summon it casually, at least they have to go through the bean soldier space, and it will not take a short time to conceive.
A dozen or so people became extremely small, and light wings appeared on their backs one by one, flying towards the formation.
After trying, Zhang Deming found that he made bean soldiers casually, and the highest cultivation was the same as him, and the spells he brought could only bring four at present, and the spells related to the rune core were easier to bring successfully.
For other spells, once there are more than two, there is a possibility that the summoning will fail. Of course, all this must be within two kilometers of him or the anchor point, well, now after being promoted to Liangyi, it has become about ten kilometers.
Once this range is exceeded, the spot mirroring will dissipate.
The bean soldiers will not dissipate, but the spells carried by the ordinary summoned bean soldiers will inexplicably dissipate and become an ordinary bean soldier, maintaining this state until the spiritual power is exhausted.
Sensing more than a dozen invisible bean soldiers in his palm, Zhang Deming immediately closed his eyes, chose a puppet, and visually switched in.
After a long time, Zhang Deming reopened his eyes. The four people who had been paying attention to him around him, seeing that Zhang Deming came back to his senses, Li Shifan looked at Zhang Deming and said, "Senior Brother Summoning Spirit, what is the situation inside?" ”
Zhang Deming frowned and said, "I didn't find anything abnormal, at least on the preliminary level, there is no difference from the surroundings." ”
"Then go in and explore?" Feng Mingyou asked.
Seeing this, Nangong Cheng also frowned and said: "I'm running here, what's the matter of giving up halfway." Since I have accepted the task, and there is no danger, it is obviously not like to turn back so directly. Let's go, it's a big deal to search quickly. ”
When several people heard this, they all nodded.
In fact, Zhang Deming wanted to turn around and leave, originally the purpose of entering the mountain this time was to help Li Shifan get promotion materials, and this purpose had been overfulfilled.
The second purpose is to see how the situation is, to explore what the map is like before, and to see if there are any unexpected benefits or anything.
Also, is there a chance to find the bad luck of the old ghost who plotted against him before.
Now it seems that there should actually be five such map markers, and they are five bridgeheads.
In the case of figuring out this, Zhang Deming was half sure that the big round ball in the Gengjin Secret Realm was mostly inside, and in this case, he was a little reluctant to take risks.
But although the task was sent by him, he was just an ordinary disciple on the surface, and in such a situation, it can't be said that the task will be canceled.
Coupled with the preliminary investigation just now, there is really no problem, since the other party is hiding, it is obvious that he wants to hide. In such a situation, it is not necessarily dangerous to go in.
Besides, his cultivation now, as long as he is not a big man of the four elephants, there is no problem with running easily, and the reason why he is a little hesitant is just because he is used to being cautious and does not like to take risks.
After pondering for a long time, Zhang Deming also nodded and replied: "Okay!" Go in and have a look, but try to be careful. ”
After the discussion was settled, everyone passed through the range of the Hidden Array and entered it. After passing through the formation and seeing the internal environment, the four of them were stunned.
There are still a lot of buildings in the entire mountain range here, and the style of the building complex is no different from the previous mountain range. The difference is the material of the entire building.
Most of the buildings in the previous mission site No. 1 were made of fire and warm rock, which was strange enough. But after seeing this mountain range, everyone realized that there was something even more peculiar.
All the buildings here have a silvery-white metallic luster, and even after an unknown number of years, they still have a certain luster, no rust, not much weathering.
The whole mountain range, with not much vegetation, looks as if it is made of metal.
"Metallic, so this place is heptogen? In this way, most of the previous speculations are true, and this task point should be the bridgehead of the Five Elements Blessed Land in the outside world. So there should be five such places? Li Shifan looked at the surrounding buildings and said softly.
Nangong Cheng also spoke: "It should be, what I'm more concerned about is, is the information we got enough?" Is the mission complete? ”
Tong Hou spread his hands and said, "The exploration task mentioned is vague, but we will carefully search the two places, it shouldn't be overdone!" ”
"Then let's get to work!" Li Shifan said.
Zhang Deming, who was silent, said at this time: "Let's act together, don't divide the troops here, I always feel a little uneasy." ”
The four of them paused slightly, and glanced at Zhang Deming in unison, and Li Shifan was also a little flustered, so he was the first to reply: "Okay, there's nothing wrong with being careful, anyway, it won't be delayed for long." ”
When several people heard this, they all nodded and agreed to explore together. After agreeing, the five of them began to explore again.
······
After going through this for most of the day, the four people who began to look nervous all relaxed.
Everyone explored all the way to the top of the mountain, but they didn't find anything special, and they still found nothing.
Zhang Deming is unusually cautious, and it seems that it is all superfluous. This place doesn't look as deserted as the previous one, but it's just a complex of buildings.
After the real exploration, several people found that the inside was about the same. Only these buildings, because of their unique materials, are relatively well preserved, so they look slightly less deserted.
Half a day later, at the top of the mountain, everyone stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the surrounding scenery, Tong Hou said a little blindly: "What now?" Is this the way to hand in the task? ”
Li Shifan said with a somewhat strange expression: "Otherwise, what else, it's just an exploration task, there are no specific requirements, we have already explored the two places, can we still make flowers?" ”
Between the words, there is always a feeling of wanting to leave quickly.
Feng Mingyou also hesitated and said, "If you hand over the task like this, will it be judged to be completed?" If there is such a task in the sect, it will definitely not work to be handed in like this, what is the situation of the alliance's task determination mechanism? ”
Nangong Cheng also spoke: "Now that the exploration has been completed, it is useless to discuss these, a force like the alliance, since it has sent a task, it should have a perfect handling mechanism."
So it's possible that we think we're just going around the bush, but the league has already gotten what it wants. ”
During the conversation between several people, Zhang Deming frowned and fell silent. In the nurturing space, since entering here, the monitoring elves have not stopped flickering.
But Zhang Deming was highly tense and completed the search of the entire peak, and he did not see the host, that is, the half-point figure of the original round ball. Could it be that when he modified the surveillance backdoor, something went wrong?
No way!
As soon as the idea came out, Zhang Deming denied this speculation, and if he wrote from scratch, there might be problems. But Zhang Deming's monitoring was changed on its interface.
Other functions written by yourself are no problem, this has an interface, the function of changing on it, such a simple operation, and a trial operation, it is impossible to have a problem.
Then either the main metal ball has a special means of concealment, or they are not in the right place, or both.
But they've already carpeted their search and shouldn't ······
Wait, carpets······ Ground floor?
Zhang Deming thought of something, his eyes flashed, and he looked down at the metal-like mountain under his feet.
"Senior brother, what should we do, continue to search, or just hand over the task?" The four of them discussed and made no decision, Li Shifan looked at Zhang Deming, who had been silent since he entered here.
When Zhang Deming heard this, he came back to his senses slightly, looked up and saw that the four of them were staring at him, and paused: "Since you have finished exploring, let's go back."
We've done our honest exploration, and this will definitely not change, and the alliance has a perfect mission decision, so don't worry about that.
It's just that we don't get any other information, at best, the reward may be mediocre, and there are no windfalls.
And as the remnant of the five elements, I'm willing to be decent. With an extra reward, it's a sign of an unexpected situation. Accidents involving blessed land, I don't think that our kind of cultivation can easily resist it. ”
When several people heard this, they pondered for a while, and Nangong Cheng replied: "That's okay, let's go back, after leaving the mountain, just hand in the task together." ”
Seeing this, everyone nodded and made such a decision. Immediately the five of them began to set off and headed out of the mountain.
When he came to the edge of the hidden formation, Zhang Deming's figure paused slightly, and he glanced back at this metal peak. The four people behind him were also stunned, and they all glanced back.
Immediately, the five of them passed through the formation and left here. The moment he left the hidden formation, Zhang Deming's hanging heart relaxed slightly.
After guessing the possibility of going underground, Zhang Deming always felt that he was stepping on a mine and leaving the mountain, only then did he feel a sense of relief and put his hanging heart back.
The five of them quickly left the mountain, but he confiscated none of the dozen or so bean soldiers that Zhang Deming had summoned before. After you have a guess, don't go down to the ground to take a look, I'm sorry for coming out this time.
Of course, he didn't act rashly, but let a few bean soldiers merge into one, lying quietly on the edge of the mountain. When he returns to the sect and his safety is guaranteed, it's not too late to act.
If you're away from home, it's always good to be careful.
After he returns to the sect, he will explore the underground again, if there is an accident, he is just a bean soldier, or a temporary summon, and it is not the kind of carefully cultivated, and he will not feel distressed if he is abolished, at most the spell will be broken, and he will be eaten by a little backlash.
If you really find the host, hehe······ He may not be able to do anything about it, but the sect has been looking for this thing.
This host sphere fused with the earth spirit of Gengjintian, making Gengjintian half useless. For this thing, the sect can be very tight.
If it's really confirmed, he can't get it, he can completely close the door and let the Taishang Elder go, throw out the big move of the sect, and go straight to the lair!
But don't worry, wait until his body returns to the sect, and his safety is guaranteed.
Bean soldiers are different from mirror doppelgangers, they don't need an anchor point, and they don't dissipate if they leave the anchor point within a certain range. Therefore, he did not need to rush at all, and was ready to talk about it.
······
After confirming the return trip, under the leadership of Zhang Deming, he avoided a lot of demon beast areas along the way, and harvested a few one- and two-star spiritual materials, but the most precious thing was the main material of the business path obtained before.
A few days later, in the shallow area of the Hengduan Mountains, on the slopes of the small hill where they first met. After a few days of trekking, the crowd returned here.
After a trek of about ten days, Zhang Deming and the three of them were nothing, and the cultivation of Liangyi was already able to clear the valley to a certain extent. Ten days and half a month, at most half of the night.
But Tong Hou and Feng Mingyou, because of the little rest along the way, most of them rested for a while when their spiritual power recovered. In addition, there are occasional battles along the way, so the two of Tai Chi are a little tired.
After the five people returned here, the three of them took out their respective materials from the storage bag, and looking at these materials, Zhang Deming said:
"This harvest, the big head should be the main material of this business---- red silk to energy grass, and the demon dog bloodline of the pangolin and thunder spirit dog, do you have any materials?"
When several people heard this, they all looked at each other, but no one spoke.
Seeing this, Zhang Deming said: "No one needs materials, then settle the spirit stone!" ”
Nangong Cheng frowned slightly and said, "Then when will it be settled, how many days do I need to stay in Tianling City?" ”
When Zhang Deming heard this, he said with a smile: "If you are in a hurry, I have enough spirit stones, and I can use spirit stones for settlement, of course, this can only come at the normal market price, including these two materials."
If you're not in a hurry, we can find a shop or something, do a small auction or something, and we should be able to sell a few more spirit stones. ”
When Nangong Cheng heard this, he shook his head directly and said: "Such a store auction, there are no more than a few spirit stones, and it is very troublesome, if you have spirit stones, settle it at the market price, and the extra spirit stones will be your hard work." ”
The two materials add up, and the top sky is only two or three thousand spirit stones, and if you have a small in-store auction, if the market is limited, it would be good to have more than two or three hundred spirit stones.
If the five of them spread it again, it would only be about a few dozen yuan, and it would be troublesome for a long time, which Lingshi Nangong Cheng obviously felt that it was not worth it. After all, he is a Liangyi monk, and his net worth is still a little bit.
As for the other materials, they are very ordinary, although they are also worth a little spirit stone, but they will not fluctuate too much, so it doesn't matter if they shoot or not.
"Well, if it's troublesome for a few days, I'll earn dozens of spirit stones or something, so it's better for me to go into the mountain. It's too much trouble, forget it. Li Shifan also replied.
