Chapter 17: The Lizard Cave
Xi Xiao looked down at the fold of the book in his hand, and began to make it difficult, "Do you want to learn or not?"
"Even if you want to learn it, you can't understand this ancient Sanskrit. Xi Xiao smiled bitterly and put it into a foot of space.
A few days later, Nishitaki scored the trip to the Silent Swamp to Nishiko.
In the six months since then, no one has visited, and Xi Xiao has never taken half a step out of the barracks to concentrate on practicing the exercises.
After the Qi Hold and Wash Pulse Recipe completed four cycles around the body, all the poison that Xi Xiao carried with him was exhausted, and the cultivation effect dropped to less than thirty percent. He shifted the focus of his cultivation to the "Yuanjia Tiangang Sutra", and so far he has refined 1.4 million Sea Essence Yuan, which is still 700,000 short of the third layer realm.
In terms of cultivation realm, since the big eyes devoured the blood of the giant tick mites, Xi Xiao's divine sense has become extremely keen, and the range of vision of his ears and eyes has more than doubled. The cultivation speed of the "Na Yuan Technique" has increased several times, and there is no need to hope for the occasional appearance of big eyes in sleep.
But what also made Xi Xiao depressed was that his body could already hold more than 14,000 Sea Essence Elements, but he still couldn't liquefy and break through to the Deep Sea Realm.
On this day, the herald came to report, and the commander Xi Jinxuan summoned all the generals to discuss the matter.
Xi Xiao came to the hall of the commander's camp on time, and the generals entered one after another.
Half a moment later, the West Scar came to the hall.
"Ladies and gentlemen, last night, auspicious golden light fell from the sky, and it was fleeting, and there must be treasures in the world. ”
As soon as these words came out, all the soldiers began to bow their heads and talk about it.
"It is said that the things that fell from heaven are all defective products abandoned by the heavenly court, but falling into the mortal dust is enough to make all forces crazy about it."
"In the previous treasure competition, my South China Sea is in a weak position, and the last time I won the treasure was more than a thousand years ago. ”
"Everyone, be quiet. As soon as Xijin's words fell, the hall immediately became silent.
"This time, I want to attack with all my troops, and I am bound to seize the treasure and raise the power of my Western Sea. ”
"The Beihai Dragon Palace has been hit hard by the East China Sea in recent years, so it will probably not participate in this competition. ”
"Remember, if you encounter someone from the Dragon Palace in the South China Sea, you will do your best to punish them, and if it is the East China Sea, you will act at the opportunity. ”
"The location where the golden light appeared must be in the turbulent desert, the whistling abyss, and the lizard cave, and I want to divide the troops into three ways. "The West Scar begins to announce the Treasure Hunt.
"General Pingnan Yan has recovered seven out of ten, leading 70,000 soldiers as the first way, heading to the whistling abyss. ”
"Protecting the country is the second way, leading 70,000 soldiers to the turbulent desert. ”
"Nishi Hongzhe is the third way, leading 100,000 soldiers to the lizard cave. ”
"The commander led the guard battalion to sit in the center and respond to the three-way army. ”
"The generals will go back and get ready, and set out at the end of the night. ”
After Xi Zhenzhen finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the hall, and the heralds began to distribute battle books one by one, and Xi Xiao was assigned to the Third Route Army led by Xi Hongzhe.
The time was approaching, and Xi Xiao led 1,500 rhinoceros soldiers to the gate of the camp.
"Let's go!" As soon as the hour arrived, the three-way army moved together and gradually disappeared into the night.
The lizard cave was 4,100 miles away from the camp, and it lasted two months, and the Third Route Army finally arrived.
Within a radius of a few kilometers, all the soldiers looked around, densely packed with small stone pinnacles stacked with strange stones, occasionally dotted with a few pieces of grass and a few towering trees, and there were hundreds of caves of different sizes distributed in the stone piles, the large ones were five or six zhang wide, and the small ones were only seven or eight feet.
There are a few cave entrances, originally lying on their stomachs a few five or six feet long gray-scaled lizards, sticking out their tongues and flicking their tails.
Nishi Hongzhe motioned for the army to stand still, and after half a pillar of incense, a shadow guard galloped from a distance.
"General Hui, I haven't seen anyone from the South China Sea and the East China Sea. ”
"Good. Xi Hongzhe answered, and then turned around and glanced at the 100,000 soldiers.
"After I discussed with General Nishitakakiraku, the army was divided into pieces, and the generals led their men and horses to enter the cave by choice. ”
"In case of danger or if you find a treasure from heaven, blow the whistle, and those who hear it must be supported as soon as possible. ”
"Also, the generals have already distributed the mother beads in their hands, if I crush the mother beads and the primer beads are broken, you must go out of the cave and assemble as soon as possible. ”
"Let's go. After saying that, Nishi Hongzhe led his guards into the lizard cave first.
All the generals also moved in unison, scattered in all directions, Xi Xiao transformed into a soft armor double axe, led the rhinoceros soldiers under his command, selected a cave more than 70 zhang away in front of the right, and took the lead in stepping in.
The cave is dim and damp, the potholes are in a slow downhill shape, Xi Xiao ordered people to take out the night pearl, keep throwing forward, and wait for the road ahead to be bright before leaving.
Only a hundred meters forward, the entrance of the cave forked, and Xi Xiao chose the cave on the left.
After a stick of incense, a gray-backed lizard with a length of five zhang jumped out two zhang in front of him, and the gray needles on his head were erected.
Without waiting for Xi Xiao to give the order, four strong archers stood behind him, full of bowstrings, "Xiu Xiu" four times, and sharp arrows were fired in unison, all of which shot at the back of the lizard.
"Squeak.." The lizard screamed and turned to flee.
After the four archers finished shooting, they quickly retreated, and the four javelinmen in the rear moved forward again, predicted the lizard's retreat route, leaned back and charged their strength, and after a moment, their bodies leaned forward suddenly, and the left foot slapped the ground, and the javelin drew a small arc and shot out rapidly.
"Whoosh" four sounds, two of which missed, one was inserted one foot in front of the lizard in front of the left, the other was inserted three inches away from the right side of the lizard, and the remaining two were lizards in the middle, which were inserted into the neck and left back respectively, and directly fixed them on the ground.
The lizard twitched a few times, then collapsed to the ground, and stopped breathing with a flick of its fingers.
The soldiers stepped forward, sealed the lizard skin* in a can, and handed it to Xi Xiao by a lieutenant.
"I only need lizard essence blood, and the rest will be shared by you when this battle is over. Xi Xiao took the jar containing the essence blood and put it into a foot of space.
Ever since the big eyes in his divine consciousness sucked the essence blood of giant tick mites, he brought about a reborn transformation for Xi Xiao, and since then Xi Xiao has a soft spot for the essence and blood of ancient beasts.
When all the soldiers heard Xi Xiao's words, they were overjoyed, and they were all ready to try.
Moving forward, the gray-backed lizards began to swarm in groups of threes and twos, and the soldiers scrambled to kill them without any need for Xi Xiao to make a move.
The further down he went, the wider the entrance to the cave became, and after half an hour, it could accommodate ten people walking side by side.
Grayback lizards were encountered more and more along the way, starting in groups of five or six, but none of them put any pressure on the team, and they were still easy to kill.
An hour later, one hundred and forty-three gray-backed lizards had been killed, and one hundred and forty-three jars of essence blood were also piled up in the space of Xixiao.
"Ahh Just as the team was in full swing, several screams were heard from the end of the team.
The soldiers turned around and saw that several red-backed lizards appeared at the end of the team at some point, and as soon as their tongues spit out, they brought out a hot red magma, burning several people at the end of the team to death on the spot.
"Whoosh" sounded one after another, and the reacting soldiers threw out the javelins in their hands, and inserted several red-backed lizards into hedgehogs, ending its life in an instant.
"Turn the double-headed formation!" Xi Xiao ordered.
"Order!" The four hundred soldiers at the end of the team turned around in unison, facing the rear, and then retreated and began to march, while Xi Xiao fought in the middle of the team.
From here on, there are no more grayback lizards, all of which are mutated species.
In addition to the red-backed lizards, white-backed lizards that begin to spray ice begin to appear, and once hit, their whole bodies are instantly frozen, and soldiers with heavy boring skills need to strike together. The ice is shattered, and then the spirits are poured to warm up, and it will take a moment or three before gradually recovering.
The most frustrating is the greenback lizard, which sprays green splatters of venom and can attack multiple people at the same time. The antidote in the army has no miracle effect, and those who are hit will inevitably fall into deep fainting.
A few miles further down, Xixiao's team killed more than 190 lizards of various variants, but they also paid the price of losing dozens of people.
"Someone!" After a cup of tea, Xi Xiao said in a low voice, signaling the front army to turn around, lean down, and order someone to pick up and put away the night pearl that was thrown.
Then he fell to the ground and crawled quickly towards the end of the line, and after a flick of his fingers, he stopped at the end of the line and stared intently at the night ahead.
After a stick of incense, the sound of Baobao's footsteps came from more than a dozen feet away.
"General, there must be people from the East Sea or the West Sea on this road, otherwise how could not a single lizard ghost be seen!"
"It's okay, wouldn't it be nice to let him collect it for us first. The short and fat middle-aged man at the head of the team, holding a giant axe, said with a disdainful expression.
The general has a point. The lieutenant beside him looked flattering.
When the visitor walked five zhang in front of Xi Xiao, Xi Xiao clearly saw the short and fat man hanging a "South China Sea" pendant on his waist.
The well-trained soldiers of the West Sea also heard the sound of dense footsteps, but without Xi Xiao's order, they continued to lie on the ground, holding their breath without moving.
The short and fat man walked forward two more feet, frowning slightly, and there was a faint sense of foreboding in his heart, "Why is it so quiet.."
The man was about to shout to warn the soldiers to pay attention, when a roar suddenly exploded in front of him.
"Kill!!" the sonorous boy's voice rang out.
"Kill !!," everyone cheered in unison.
The slightly chubby man was startled, his body was slightly sluggish, and then he looked up, only to see that three feet in the dark night ahead, a long black shadow bounced up from the ground, and quickly pressed towards him.
When the other party jumped half a foot in front of him, the short and fat man saw the opponent's movements clearly, and was holding an axe in his right hand and sweeping his neck, and then looking at the other party's appearance and cultivation realm, he was not afraid of anti-joy, and waved the giant axe to meet him.
"Ninefold child in the shallow sea realm, it's really beyond my strength!"
The giant axe is powerful and fast, and the latter swept to the opponent's waist first, seeing that the other party did not avoid it, he was even more excited, "This guy is so vulnerable!"
But after a moment, the smile froze before it had time to bloom.
The giant axe slashed at the opponent's waist, and the armor was split with a "click", thinking that it could cut off the young man's waist, but he heard another sound, and the giant axe did not split into the flesh, but on the soft armor in the armor.
Splitting the armor has already dissolved half of the force, and when it hits the soft armor, after the tip of the axe is brought in by an inch, the soft armor seems to be undamaged, but the force is completely dissolved.
The slightly chubby man was stunned at first, but when he came back to his senses, he saw that the young man's right axe had already swept to half a foot of his left neck.
