"What kind of person is making noise outside? Disturbing the old man's sleep. ”

An old man's voice came from inside, and although there was displeasure in his tone, there was no reproach.

"Old-timers, we are passers-by and want to spend the night here. Duan Feng replied.

"Passers-by?"

A human figure appeared in the bright cavern, and an old man stepped out of it.

"It's been a long time since humans have been here, and the old man has forgotten what humans look like. ”

The old man was six or seven years old, with a gray beard hanging down to his chest, and the sparse hair on his head was very messy, and he was not tall, but he was in good spirits.

"Senior, please forgive me for the interruption just now. ”

Duan Feng knew that the old man who could live in this dangerous beast clan was definitely not an ordinary person, not to mention, the heat flow just now must have been caused by this old man.

"Hey, it's okay, anyway, no one has been here for many years, and the old man is really a little bored, so you came to relieve the old man's boredom. ”

"Senior, we're just staying overnight, and we're going to leave early tomorrow morning. ”

"Going?" asked the old man, puzzled, "where are you going?"

Duan Feng looked back at Han Qing, he didn't trust the old man in front of him, but if he didn't tell him the truth, I'm afraid they would never be able to leave, not to mention, this old man had lived here for so long, he must be very familiar with this place, maybe he could help them solve the problems they encountered.

"We want to go west. Duan Feng said.

"West?"

The old man looked back and said thoughtfully, "The west is a borderless land that is difficult for people and gods to enter, human beings go in and have no return, and the gods are also very auspicious when they enter, what do you have to think of, you have to go there?"

Duan Feng laughed and said, "Don't hide it from our predecessors, we are looking for something." ”

"What's that?"

Duan Feng hesitated, thinking to himself, since he had a request for someone, there was no need to hide it, not to mention, this old man didn't look like a bad person.

"Xihe Zhiding, I don't know if my predecessors have heard of it?"

"Oh?" the old man suddenly sat up straight, stared at Duan Feng and the four of them, looked them up and down, and said, "What are you looking for that Xihe Ding? That's an ancient artifact." ”

Duan Feng laughed miserably and said, "I don't know if my predecessors know about the current human world?"

"The things of the human world?" the old man thought for a moment, "The old man has not walked out of the cave for a long time, and he knows nothing about the things outside. ”

"That's it, now the human world is suffering a catastrophe, the Demon Venerable is rising, the vein of the earth is in danger, we need the Ding of Xihe to protect the vein of the earth, so that it does not fall into the hands of the demon world. ”

Listening to Duan Feng's narration, the old man just nodded slightly, not surprised, as if the affairs of the human world had nothing to do with him.

"I wonder if the seniors can give me some advice?"

The old man raised his hand slightly, waved it slightly, and said, "The old man doesn't know what Xihe Zhiding is, but it seems that you have to go to that borderless land?"

"I'm afraid, I have to go. Duan Feng said affirmatively.

"That being the case, the old man will not force you to stay, so you will set off early tomorrow morning. ”

As he spoke, the old man turned around and prepared to walk into the cave.

"The seniors, the younger generations and the other are unknown, and I hope that the seniors can give advice. ”

The old man looked back, smiled slightly, and said, "What's the matter?"

Duan Feng told the old man what they had happened during the day, and the old man nodded slightly as he listened, and when Duan Feng finished speaking, the old man suddenly laughed.

"I wonder if the seniors know what is going on, how can we regain our spiritual power?"

The old man pondered for a moment, then looked outside the cave again, and said, "Actually, what you just encountered was a formation. ”

"Formation?"

"Who would set up such a powerful formation here? Could it be that there are still people trapped here?"

That's a long way to say. ”

"I also ask my seniors for advice. ”

The old man let out a long sigh, sat across from the four, and began to remember.

It is said that in ancient times, there were three saints in the human world, named Yingnu, Mo Li and Haotian, and the three of them studied under the old man Baixu in the Holy Spirit Mountain to rest the spiritual method.

At the same time, three demon heads were also cultivated in the human world, namely the Ancient Evil Emperor, the Dark Lord, and the Ethereal Daoist.

The power of the three demons grew day by day, and later the Emperor of Heaven sent 300,000 heavenly soldiers and generals to prepare to exterminate the three demons, but the demons' spiritual method was too powerful, and the 300,000 heavenly soldiers and generals were wiped out in less than three days.

In desperation, the Emperor of Heaven had to ask the old man of Baixu to go out of the mountain to help exterminate the demon spirit.

And the old man of Baisu sent his three proud disciples, Infant Girl, Mo Li and Haotian, to come forward to conquer the demon spirit.

The three soldiers divided into three paths, leading the three demons in three different directions, preparing to cooperate with the heavenly soldiers to kill them separately.

Among them, Haotian was in charge of the Dark Lord, and he led the Dark Lord to Yinming Mountain outside the Nanming Sea, which was a big mountain that existed before the beginning of heaven and earth.

After luring the Dark Venerable Lord to Yinming Mountain, Haotian gathered his life's strength, with Yinming Mountain as the center, within a radius of thousands of miles, and laid out this Qingyuan Array.

"Qing Yuan Array?"

"Yes. In the Three Realms, any living creature that enters this Qingyuan Array will lose all the spiritual power in its body, and no one is an exception, which is also to prevent people in the Demon Realm from rescuing the Dark Lord. ”

"And then?"

"Later, the Dark Venerable Lord was trapped in Yinming Mountain, but after all, he was a demon spirit who had been cultivating for ten thousand years, and it was afraid that his spiritual method alone would not be able to completely shut him down, so Haotian put an ancient giant beast around Yinming Mountain. ”

"The North Sea Monster?"

"Exactly, in fact, its name was originally Kuntou, it was a pet raised by Haotian in the Tianchi of the Holy Spirit Mountain, and later absorbed the aura of heaven and earth all the year round, and became a demon beast. ”

"So where did Haotian go?"

After arranging all this, Haotian did not return to the Holy Spirit Mountain to continue his cultivation, but disappeared without a trace, and to this day, no one knows where he went. ”

Duan Feng looked at the fluorescent distance, imagining the scene of how Haotian fought against the Dark Venerable back then, and at the same time, after a long night, it seemed that he could see this ancient evil god of the same level as the Demon Venerable who was imprisoned on the far other side.

"Then how can we restore the spiritual method?"

"Restore the spiritual method?" the old man thought for a while and muttered, "It's not impossible to restore the spiritual method, but it's a little difficult. ”

"It's okay, please tell us quickly, we really need to find Xihezhiding as soon as possible. ”

The old man walked to the entrance of the cave, pointed to the bay in the distance, and said, "Actually, if you want to restore the spiritual method, the way is very simple, but it is very difficult to do. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

The old man smiled slightly and said, "If you want to recover your spiritual power, you only need to kill the kuntou in the sea, and then suck its spirit element, and the spirit method will naturally come back." ”

After listening, the four of them looked at each other, not to mention now, even if they didn't lose their spiritual magic, it would be difficult for them to kill that behemoth with their abilities, let alone now.

"Is there no other way?"

The old man shook his head slightly, "There is only one way. ”

Then the old man added, "But you can also climb over the Holy Spirit Mountain, as long as you are out of the scope of the Qingyuan Array, your spiritual method may also come back, but it will take you three months, I don't know if you have the patience." ”

"Three months is too long for us to have that much time. ”

"That's it, there's only one way. ”

Duan Feng frowned and looked at the sea in the distance, which looked even darker against the background of fluorescence.

"The matter has come to this point, and I can only fight to the death. ”

"But we are going to die, and we are sure to die. ”

"Now we can't go back, behind us is the territory of the beast clan for more than a thousand miles, without the spiritual law, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to leave here alive, not to mention, without the peak of Xihe, the human world will inevitably be occupied by the Demon Venerable, and when the time comes, there will be no place for us. ”

"You don't have to be pessimistic, in fact, if you want to kill Kuntou, it's not impossible. ”

Duan Feng felt that things had taken a turn for the better, and hurriedly asked, "Ao, what can you do?"

"Legend has it that the Kuntou is most afraid of a creature called the Star Worm, which can restrain the Kuntou. ”

"Starworm?

"The star worm lives on the cliffs in the northern part of Crescent Bay, a thumb-sized water worm, with eight limbs, sharp mouths, and social life, which can penetrate the armor of the kuntou and suck its blood marrow, and their mouths are highly poisonous, once the armor of the kuntou is drilled through, it can no longer heal, and can only wait for death. ”

"But we haven't seen any star insects along the way?"

"Star bugs like shady places, they only appear at night, and they only cling to the roots of the Demon Feather Grass, sucking the juice of the Demon Feather Grass, and once they feel threatened, they will immediately burrow into the ground, and no matter how much you toss, they will not come out. ”

"Then how can we capture them?"

"That's the difficulty, there's only one way to get them out. ”

"What's the solution?"

"It's to lure them with the blood of the kuntou. ”

Duan Feng's face once again showed a look of disappointment, wasn't it a paradox? they couldn't get close to the kuntou at all, let alone get the blood of the pants.

"Could it be that we really can't get over it? Could it be that this catastrophe in the human world is really inevitable?" Duan Feng said as he looked into the distance in disappointment.

The old man looked at Duan Feng, smiled, and said, "It's a coincidence, do you think we are destined?"

As soon as Duan Feng heard this, he immediately understood what the old man meant, he must have another way.

The old man smiled mysteriously, stretched out his hand behind his back, took out a small bottle from behind, and said with a smile: "I happen to still have this bottle of Kuntou's blood stored here, it has been many years, I thought it was useless, but I didn't expect to meet you today." ”

"Senior!" Duan Feng's eyes flashed with expectation, "Thank you." ”

The old man waved his hand slightly and said, "Forget it, you can use it, but I don't know if I can help you." ”
