Chapter 42: The Scorpion
The four of them fought and walked, and after an hour, they finally got rid of the entanglement of the flower-eating beast. But the four of them also looked a little embarrassed, especially Xiong Xiangshen, who was covered with specks of blood. The most relaxed of the four is Mu Wei, with his three-inch tongue to encourage the bear elephant to sink and charge, he hid in the middle without spending a trace of spiritual power.
"It sounds like a spring flowing by!" Mu Wei tilted his ears to listen.
"Wouldn't we?! We've searched here many times, but there's no spring or stream flowing through it. Xia Heying replied. She had been here many times with the bear elephant Shen, and every time she came here, she was embarrassed, and she had hoped to find a place with water to wash the dirt on her body, but every time she couldn't do so.
Seeing that a few people didn't believe it, Mu Wei walked forward with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, only to see him turn around among the flowers, grass, mountains and rocks, and really found a clear stream when he walked out of a distance of less than 100 zhang.
The stream flowed completely between the rocks, and the bottom of the stream was full of small pebbles, and the grass was overgrown by the stream, and the flowers were still blooming rapidly. The stream is babbling, and countless bright petals float on the water, like a dream.
"Wow, there really is a stream! What a clear stream!" Xia Heying exclaimed happily, walked quickly to the stream, and picked up the water to wash his face.
"Why do I think this stream smells a little fishy?" Motoo frowned, for some reason, the stream gave him a dangerous message.
"No, the water is very clear. Xia Heying sent the spring water to her eyes, sniffed it gently, and then washed the stains on her face with confidence.
Seeing that Xia Heying was not abnormal, Xiong Xiangshen and Mu Wei jumped into the water with a cheer at the same time, completely ignoring wetting their shoes and socks.
Motoo always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't find the reason, he walked around the stream, watching the three of them play happily in the stream, but in the end he didn't touch a finger of the stream.
After resting for half an hour, the four of them gradually regained their strength. In particular, the appearance of the creek made Xia Heying regain that moist and refreshing feeling.
"I have long known that Senior Brother Yuan and Senior Brother Mu have keen senses and can perceive things that others can't, so it's really a wise move to bring you to the Lingering Valley this time!" Xia Heying sighed.
Xiong Xiangshen nodded frequently, and agreed with Xia Heying's statement very much in his heart.
"The deeper you go into the valley, the more likely you are to encounter elixirs or spiritual materials, last time Senior Sister Xia and I found the wind core iron in this direction, but unfortunately we encountered a psychedelic butterfly and had to retreat. It's only about four or five hours away from the location of the core iron. Hopefully this time I can get there in one go..."
"Psychedelic Butterfly?That's not too scary, it's just the appearance of forging veins for five weeks!" Motoo was a little puzzled.
"This lingering spirit insect spirit beast in the valley is not the same, the deeper they go to the valley, the higher their cultivation is, most of the psychedelic butterflies we encountered last time are forging veins in the realm of eight weeks of heaven, and some of the leaders have reached the realm of nine weeks of heaven!"
"How many psychedelic butterflies are there?" Motoo asked.
"Thousands are too many to count..."
Yuan Wei and Mu Wei looked at each other speechlessly, and thousands of psychedelic butterflies that had been forging veins for eight or nine weeks surged together, and the four of them had absolutely no ability to resist.
Seeing the doubts of the two, Xia Heying took out a small purple incense burner, "This is the spiritual artifact purple rhyme furnace that my master gave me, which can release a special fragrance and temporarily improve our realm, with its help, Senior Brother Xiong can temporarily reach the realm of gathering spirits, and I can also reach the realm of forging veins and great perfection, so I can barely resist those psychedelic butterflies." In fact, we don't need to kill all the psychedelic butterflies, we just need to resist their harassment, and then collect some of the core iron and we're done. ”
"Three-grade spiritual weapon! Senior Sister Xia is so generous!" Mu Wei's eyes were full of fire when he looked at the incense burner.
The third-grade spirit weapon is definitely a rare treasure of heaven and earth, and it is not something that ordinary immortal cultivators can have, you must know that what Yuanwei got after desperately consuming the powerhouse of the Gathering Spirit Realm was only a few second-grade spirit treasures.
"Although the three-grade spirit weapon is good, it is almost impossible for our Forging Pulse Realm Immortal Cultivators to use it, even if I try all my spiritual power, I can only barely sacrifice it for half an hour, which is why I usually don't use it. Xia Heying's words were a little helpless.
The appearance of the Ziyun Furnace gave Motoo Mu Wei some confidence. The four of them agreed on a general plan, and then continued to walk deeper into the valley.
The deeper into the valley, the shadows of dense shrubs gradually appeared in addition to the flowers and plants, and the unknown rattans also grew rapidly, but the life and death cycle of those vines was longer than that of the weak flowers and plants. It's a pity that they still can't condense that aura in their bodies, and they can't become elixir-like existences.
"Another spirit beast is coming!" Yuan Wei suddenly realized, and at the same time, the staff condensed a pale cyan dragon shadow and pounced on a bush a hundred feet away.
"Squeak!" a huge iron-blue scorpion screamed and rolled far away, but it didn't die.
"This is the Broken Scorpion, that pair of claws can clip Jin Ge, and the stinger on the tail is even more poisonous, Senior Brother Yuan can't let him get close!"
The scorpion crawled on the ground, the height of a mountain wolf, the thick tail was a foot long, high in the air, the stinger on the tip of the tail flashed with a cold and faint cold light, looking at its cultivation, it also had the realm of forging veins for eight weeks!
Although Motoo's fierce blow did not kill it, it also brought a lot of shock to it. The scorpion raised two pairs of crusts in front of him, and the four pairs of long feet swung rapidly, and his whole body was like a cyan boulder rushing towards the four of them.
"Bang!
The bear elephant sinks like a beast out of the cage and the broken scorpion collide together at high speed, making an earth-shattering loud sound, and the two sides of the confrontation bounce back more than ten zhang in the sound, and the bear elephant holds the ground with a heavy sword, and after stopping the retreating figure, he pounces again without hesitation. The huge scorpion was even more fearless of life and death, and the two sides fought together again.
Xiong Xiangshen is the realm of forging veins and great perfection, and it can even be regarded as stepping into the realm of gathering spirits with one foot, so he has pressed more than one scorpion in his cultivation. Moreover, the scorpion is a spirit beast after all, and its wisdom has not been opened, and it is much inferior in exercises, relying more on instinctive talent. Even so, Xiong Xiangshen struggled to gain a decisive advantage after dozens of rounds of fighting.
"That Broken Scorpion has a rare outer skin, this is like the armor of a human immortal cultivator, Senior Brother Xiong really has no good way to take it, only after exhausting its spiritual power can it be completely eradicated..."Xia Heying was worried, for such a good defensive spirit beast, she was even more helpless, even if she used all her strength, her dagger could not even leave a white spot on the broken scorpion.
"Senior Brother Xiong, let me try!"
Yuanwei's heart moved, it was the first time he had encountered such a spirit beast as the Broken Scorpion. But he faintly felt that this was a hard-to-find whetstone, which could hone and improve his skills.
"Ice Condensation!" Motoo shouted.
Two cyan dragon shadows broke away from the snake staff, as if they had independent sapience, one turned into a huge ice shield to block the way of the scorpion, and the other circled around the scorpion and turned into a huge block of ice to freeze it in it.
The scorpion was indeed strong, and even in the midst of the great ice, it still struggled for a long time.
Seeing that the Broken Scorpion was gradually exhausted, Yuan Wei walked over to take a closer look. The small eyes of the broken scorpion were hidden under the hard armor of the head, shining with a spiritual light, as if mocking.
Yuan Wei was startled, but before he could react, the long tail of the broken scorpion pierced the ice like a spear and pierced the ice and pierced the top of Yuan Wei's head.
Almost subconsciously, the snake staff in Yuanwei's hand met the tail spine. The half-foot-long spike clicked into the mouth of the staff.
The poisonous spiritual power of the broken scorpion continued to infiltrate the snake staff, and Yuan Wei naturally didn't want that spiritual power to erode him, so he had already used his spiritual power to cut off the snake staff's connection with himself.
Under the stalemate between Yuanwei and the Broken Scorpion, the toxin of the Broken Scorpion can only swim in the snake staff, constantly refining the snake staff itself.
After about a stick of incense, the snake staff emitted a dark gray light all over its body, as if it had spirituality, and suddenly began to take the initiative to ask for the spiritual power that devoured the Broken Scorpion.
The Broken Scorpion sensed that something was wrong, but because its body was still frozen in ice, it helplessly watched as all its spiritual power was devoured by the snake staff.
There was another moment of incense, and the incomparably hard broken scorpion shattered into the ice with an uproar, leaving only two armor-like pieces of armor on its back, and its spiritual power and even flesh and blood were swallowed up by the snake staff.
"Two pieces of scorpion's back armor! That's a good material for forging armor!"
"Senior Brother Yuan's snake staff is really good, it should be a good embryo of the best artifact!"
This scene completely shocked Xia Heying and Xiong Xiangshen, and they circled around Yuanwei, exclaiming from time to time.
