Chapter 13: Gluttony and Blood
This winding tunnel is a grotto, which is the core of Gogo Mountain and is also the nest of gluttons. x
The walls around the grotto are covered with claw marks, and the gourmets have dug out very spacious, and there are even rock tunnels in all directions, so it is impossible to find out how large the grotto is.
Xia Jie slowed down and slowly leaned out from the mouth of the tunnel.
Although he is not afraid of gluttony, he also does not want to be besieged by gluttony again. Because the closer he got here, the stronger the suction became, and now he had to use the Fountain of Eternal Life to stand here well.
"It's ?!!"
Suddenly, Xia Jie's eyes suddenly widened.
I saw that the bottom of the grotto was full of gluttony, and they were lying on the ground like sleeping dogs.
Even in the middle position, the gluttonous beast king and the guards were distributed in a circle, they held the beast head high, looking at the grotto, one by one thin skin and bones, looking extremely hideous.
Xia Jie looked in the direction they raised their heads, and saw that the grotto dome was densely covered with green spars, one of which was the brightest and most magical.
The spar glowed with a green glow, and was guarded by the many hedras around it, like stars in the sky surrounding the moon, illuminating the entire mountainside.
Xia Jie subconsciously took a step forward, and quietly moved left and right, feeling the changing suction direction around his body, and after a while, he affirmed:
"This suction comes from it!"
But this conclusion made Xia Jie a little disappointed, in his conjecture, it should be a living creature, not a stone!
This also means that his previous abacus has failed.
"Is this gluttony, really an alien weapon? Biochemical xenomorphs?! ”
With doubts, Xia Jie followed the rock wall in the grotto, approached the center of the mountain, stepped on a gluttonous corpse, and walked towards the position of the gluttonous beast king.
As he got closer to the hedron, the suction grew stronger, until he reached the middle of the line, his hair stood straight as if it had been struck by lightning.
"Bang bang! Bang! ”
Xia Jie raised his leg and kicked away the gluttonous beast king and guards on the ground a few times, completely sweeping away this realm.
Ignoring the continuous consumption of the Immortal Spring in his body, he looked up at the grotto department, and suddenly smiled: "It doesn't matter what you are, since I'm here, I have to find out!" ”
Xia Jie stretched out his hand and grabbed his head, and the power of the five elements in his body instantly changed from a state of automatic operation to conscious control.
An invisible and colorless force poured out from between his five fingers and sank into the grotto, but the green spar shrank suddenly, and the green light was magnificent, as if it had a premonition of a crisis.
"Poof!"
The green light of the spar drummed, and it turned on his strength, like a loach, unable to grasp it, unable to hold it firmly.
"Get me down!"
Xia Jie's eyes tightened, he roared, and his five fingers snapped together.
The rock formations above the grotto, like living creatures, were surging in layers, like a big mouth, squeezing out the green spar.
After the spar left the grotto, he wanted to continue to emit green light, but Xia Jie stomped on the ground with his legs suddenly, and the stones under his feet suddenly stacked several feet high, pushing him to rise from the ground.
"Smack!"
A large white hand stretched across the air, holding the green hedron in his hand.
Xia Jie clenched his hands and fell back to the ground, his expression was shocked, because the green spar half the size of a palm was actually struggling in his hand!!
"This thing, it actually has a mind?"
And it's far more than that, just after this green stone was started, it seemed to sense the power of the five elements and the immortal spring that was full of Xia Jie's body, and the suction power instantly soared.
Later, it was not that Xia Jie couldn't catch it, but that it wanted to suck Xia Jie!
Due to the continuous replenishment of the Immortal Fountain in his body, that suction force could not even break through the defenses of the power of the Five Elements, let alone hurt his roots.
But this sense of threat completely angered Xia Jie, his eyes were horizontal, and his hands were suddenly closed.
"You want to drain me even because of this damn thing?!"
The power of the five elements instantly came out of his body, and Xia Jie's hands seemed to be wearing a layer of five-colored gloves, violently separating the green spar from the palm, and then turned into a five-color cage, binding it only between these square inches.
He looked down, the green hedron was silently stagnant in mid-air, and outside it was a green paste-like substance similar to amber, very clear and translucent, and in the middle, there was a green liquid the size of a thumb, like a slug constantly wriggling.
"Bugs?! Or ......"
Xia Jie was puzzled at first, but as the power of the five elements soaked into the stone, his eyes brightened, and his angry face instantly turned into a wild laugh.
"Haha, I didn't expect it! This is actually a pure bloodline essence, and the source of this bloodline is a real glutton! ”
He couldn't hide the joy at all, the feeling of being lost and regained, it was very amazing.
Xia Jie hadn't seen the gluttony he expected before, and he had already had the idea of giving up, but when he detained the spar in anger, it gave him another surprise.
It was clearly mentioned in "Incarnation Outside the Body" that in order to refine the essence and blood of the alien beast, it is necessary to integrate its body from beginning to end, and the more complete it is, the more the strength of the incarnation will be closer to the original strength of the alien beast, and then increase the strength of the monk himself, so that they can complement each other and increase the strength several times.
Although the bloodline here is only a short inch long, the tail finger is thick, and the weight is really small, but its essence is the real blood of the beast!
Moreover, this is not an ordinary beast, but a gluttony with supernatural powers, and the suction force is enough to prove its identity.
With its essence and blood state, it has the strength to rival Xia Jie at this stage, so even if its lack is obvious, Xia Jie has decided to refine it!
"Now that my cultivation has reached a relatively high level, even if I continue to retreat, it will take thousands of years to break through to the third stage. For today's plan, it is to refine this gluttonous body and further enhance my strength, if I can inherit the gluttonous power of devouring the heavens and the earth, then the speed of my cultivation will be greatly improved! ”
Xia Jie calmed down and sat cross-legged on the ground, at this moment he didn't care about the smell around him, and devoted himself to the process of refining this green spar.
His palms were facing each other, and wisps of the power of the five elements were like spider silk, gushing out of his hands, as if pulling up a rainbow, suppressing the green light in the belly of the mountain.
"......"
The glue-like crystal layer was peeled off inch by inch under the continuous impact of the power of the five elements.
This is not an extraordinary thing, but a layer of alien mana crystals, so it cannot be broken with a simple substance, and can only be destroyed with this kind of five elements of mana, which is also an extraordinary power.
As the crystal layer decreased, the essence blood in it continued to distort, and the sucking force became stronger and stronger, and it was also like a flea, flickering in the crystal, constantly colliding with the surrounding five-colored light bodies.
Xia Jie was silent, and continued to maintain his full output, regardless of the suction, no matter how it impacted, refining wholeheartedly.
Half an hour later, the greenstone in his hands had completely disappeared, revealing the green liquid.
Although Xia Jie did not follow the specific steps of "Incarnation Outside the Body" to do the entire refining process, but the path is the same, no matter what the previous steps were, anyway, he had to go to the step of refining essence blood in the end, he just saved the previous trouble, picked up a trick, and did it in one step.
"The most critical step!"
Xia Jie's face was heavy, and the power of the five elements between his hands suddenly closed, integrating this wisp of green blood into the five colors.
Refining essence blood and turning it into an incarnation is a very difficult step.
First of all, through one's own mana, the will in this essence and blood must be rubbed away, and secondly, it is integrated into the body, and the body here refers to the essence and spirit of the whole person, including flesh and bones, will and soul, and even one's own mana foundation.
Although this method seems to change the foundation of a person, in fact, it is not fully compatible with the human body.
The five elements form a formation, and the key to sticking to the body and soul is here, it can build an insurmountable gap between the body and the incarnation, so that the essence and blood of the incarnation cannot be affected, let alone pollute the true body.
Xia Jie slowly closed his eyes, he no longer saw with simple vision, but with his own mind perception, through the power of the five elements as the medium, to wear out the will inside the essence and blood from the subtleties.
This will is the remnant of the gluttonous essence blood, and it is roughly the same as the idea he transmitted through the power of the five elements, and the two sides started a great battle between this square inch of green blood.
And this 'war' is completely one-sided crushing.
Xia Jie has a steady stream of replenishment from the Fountain of Immortality, but the gluttonous essence blood only has such a weight, and after only three hours, this green blood is no longer moving.
Then, under the matchmaking of the power of the five elements, the green blood merged into Xia Jie's palm one by one, turning into two green mist in an instant, and integrating into his most superficial flesh and blood.
Then through the flesh and blood penetrated into the bones, and finally soaked into his will, and in the end, the green blood filled the whole body, forming a thin layer of lines under the skin, and gradually turned into a blood-white color, which was consistent with Xia Jie's original body.
"Click......"
Xia Jie opened his eyes and got up, the bones in his body made a crisp sound, he looked at the dust on his arm, and was surprised to find that the process of refining essence blood to form an incarnation turned out to be a long time later!
"Time is really getting less and less valuable!"
He didn't know how long it had been since this moment, as for using the weight of the Immortal Fountain to keep time? That's not accurate, because most of its consumption comes from combat, not just the passage of time.
But as he did, time is not worth much!
The immortal fountain of the tomb of the Dragon Emperor can live forever for three thousand years, and there are countless worlds where other immortal things exist.
