Chapter 20!
The entrance to the cave of Baoji Xuantian is relatively narrow, and the five people can only enter it. The cave grows on the body of a giant tortoise, but when everyone enters the cave, they are surprised to find that it is a cave formed by rocks. The ground is not flat, but overall it is not so rugged, reaching out and touching the walls on both sides, it is slightly humid, and the air is more or less humid.
The five of them didn't dare to be careless, but Xiao Taohong was heartless and fun-loving, and she didn't seem to have any fear of the dark cave at all. Fortunately, the deeper the cave went, the more spacious it became, but the light became weaker and weaker, and when I saw that I was going deeper, I would lose my fingers.
"Big man!" Little Peach seemed to be close to the tall Ma Xie, and pointed to his shoulder and said, "I'm going up!"
Li Shuhang estimated that this martial artist from the Xiliang frontier of Beiju Luzhou was nine feet tall, wearing a sleeveless short brown dress, with a straight waist and knotted muscles. There are also two bracers of unknown material on his wrists, and a giant axe behind his back, which is very majestic. Although he doesn't talk much, he seems to have a very good temper, not the type of person who picks an axe and cuts people if he doesn't say the right three words, but there is a faint cold-blooded breath, which should be sharpened on the battlefield, right?
The big man didn't have any brains about the unreasonable request of the little girl, so he squatted down and pointed to his shoulder.
Xiao Taohong is also unkind, sitting on Ma Xie's shoulders with a buttocks, swaying her two calves, very satisfied.
Nangong Muying looked at the little girl's heartless appearance, and also smiled, took out a lighting talisman from her sleeve, waved her hand to light it, and the light around her was already quite weak. But unexpectedly, he didn't light up the talisman for a while, so he shook the talisman in his hand with a sigh, and it finally lit up. But before he could use his mana to float the rune in the air to illuminate the path ahead, the rune went out again and fell to the ground.
"Huh?" Xu Junfeng noticed the abnormality, and took out a lighting talisman in his arms, just like that.
"Stop!" Xu Junfeng hurriedly spoke up and stopped everyone. "The light charm doesn't light up! There's something weird in this hole. ”
"Well, mine too. ”
"Li Taoming, do you have any lighting charms?" asked the red-haired boy as he looked at the little girl sitting on Ma Xie's shoulder.
"I'll look for it, it seems to have been. "After groping in my bag behind my back for a long time, I finally pulled out a lighting charm and tried it, but it didn't light up.
"It's as if the Illuminator can't pull the aura. Li Shuhang had already found out, but he didn't think there was anything wrong, so he didn't react for a while. Because he could see that when the illuminator was lit, there was no aura around him.
The other four looked at Li Shuhang in a daze as if they had been struck by lightning.
"Impossible!How could the Ling Xiao Sect have a 'Forbidden Spirit Land'?" the red-haired young man said as he tried to use his skills to pull the spiritual energy into his body, but his face turned like ashes. "Let's go back first!"
The other three also tried to pull the aura, but after no result, Gu Du's complexion changed greatly.
"'Forbidden Spirit Land'?" Li Shuhang was a little puzzled
"It's a place where spiritual energy can't be gathered, magic weapons can't be used, and spiritual power can't be restored. Qi cultivators above the foundation can only use the spiritual power in their dantian, and they can't replenish it when they run out!" Nangong Muying explained as she walked back with everyone.
"The talisman can't be used either?" Li Shuhang asked urgently.
"The Illumination Talisman, a talisman that relies on the aura of the outside world, cannot be used. Xiao Taohong sat on Ma Xie's shoulder and replied, "But the high-level talismans, because they contain spiritual sources, can be used, but if you want to pull them, you can't." ”
In other words, after these talismans are opened, they have to be thrown out by hand.
"My sword skills will also be affected......," Nangong Muying said.
"The one with the least impact is the metal martial cultivation, but after using up the spiritual power in the body, it still has to be finished!" Xu Junfeng said as he quickened his pace. "The ...... with the biggest impact It's you Li Shuhang, you're a waste in the 'Forbidden Spirit Land'!"
Why? Because the monks in the Qi refining period can't store spiritual power in their bodies, they can only rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and now they can't rely on the mountains, so naturally there is nothing. Li Shuhang said that he understood, but he was awkward......
"Let's go back to the entrance first, and wait for the senior brothers from several other sects to come. It's just a few of us, I'm afraid that if we encounter any danger, we may not be able to deal with it. Xu Junfeng said. "Senior Sister Nangong, how long will it take for the disciples sent by other sects to arrive?"
"I heard from Master, three days is no more than five days. We waited for a day. It's about three or four days. "Nangong Muying
Indeed, in this Cave Heaven Trial, a total of twenty monks participated. Because they were the closest, they were the first to enter the hole. At this time, the other fifteen monks who came after him were the right choice.
"Wait!" Ma Xie suddenly stopped, he was walking in the forefront, and this stop basically blocked the road.
"What are you waiting for!" Xu Junfeng was anxious, "If we encounter any danger at this time, all we can rely on is that little bit of poor spiritual power." ”
"We're back to where we are!" Ma Xie said with certainty.
"Where are we, you mean, we're going around in circles?" Xu Junfeng couldn't believe it
"It should be right......" Nangong Muying picked up the lighting charm that had not been lit before from the ground.
"Haven't you seen a fork in the road along the way?" Li Shuhang felt that his voice seemed to be weaker at this time
"The big man and I are standing in place! Li Shuhang, you and Senior Sister Nangong go back. Xu Junfeng took out a bunch of dog's tail grass and threw it to Li Shuhang, "This is fluorescent grass, it can shine when you blow your breath, and throw one on the ground every five feet!"
Fluorescent grass has no effect other than a faint glow. But at this juncture, it came in handy.
Don't look at Xu Junfeng, he seems to be the most cowardly, but in case of emergency, he has a clear mind and doesn't say anything. And in fact, from entering the cave to going back, he stayed at the back, faintly meaning to break off for everyone. Let Li Shuhang and Nangong Muying explore the way, and they also made this decision based on the judgment that it is more dangerous to stand in place. In addition, among the people, the strongest ones are Xiao Taohong and Nangong Muying, leaving one at each end, which can be regarded as a reasonable countermeasure.
None of them are stupid people, and some things are tacitly understood. But this also made Li Shuhang look at the red-haired boy somewhat highly. The two looked at each other, nodded, and turned to continue on their way. But at this moment, Xiao Taohong, who had been sitting on Ma Xie's shoulder and had been silent, suddenly exclaimed
"Be careful!"
A figure hidden in the darkness above the top of the cave flashed down and rushed behind Xu Junfeng, who was facing Li Shuhang and the others.
A faint blue sword light shot out from the little peach's palm, and a creepy sound of flesh and bone separation sounded. The shadow let out a piercing scream, and turned around and flashed into the dark depths of the cavern.
Before Li Shuhang could react, Xu Junfeng flipped forward, turned around, squatted on the ground, drew his bow, and a series of actions flowed smoothly. Whoosh is three rockets shot out, and then three flames burst out in the depths of the cave, and everyone saw the situation inside, and they couldn't help but gasp.
Dense figures filled the cave at a depth of more than ten zhang. Some were standing, some were attached to the roof of the wall cave, and their pupils were shining with green light, staring straight at everyone.
"Corpse puppet!" Ma Xie said in a lost voice.
"Corpse puppet, when did Ling Xiaozong have such a vicious thing" The red-haired young man's head was as big as a fight, and the last thing he wanted to happen, he just watched it happen.
"Haha! It's fun!" Everyone didn't expect that at this moment, Little Peach would still be happy. I saw that her toes were a little on Ma Xie's chest, and the whole person shot out like an arrow
"Little Peach, you can't be reckless!!" Li Shuhang's impression of Little Peach is very good, among the people, except for Senior Sister Nangong, the one he doesn't want to have an accident with is Little Peach. didn't think much about it, pulled out "shut up", and rushed up.
"You two! If you want to die, don't drag us down!!" Xu Junfeng is crazy!
"Hahahaha, pierce you all!" "Ice Blade" Little Peach seems to have turned into a little madman as soon as she fights. I saw a light blue spell appear in front of her, and a palm-length ice blade shot forward out of thin air, shooting a group of corpse golems standing or crawling in front of her into a broken limb and flying sideways, blood splashing everywhere, and a gap was forced.
A corpse golem attached to the roof of the cave tried to pounce on Little Peach from the dead corner above, but was chiseled into the wall with a punch from Ma Xie, who arrived later. Ma Xie stepped on the corpse puppet, grabbed its head and pulled it out, then held the ugly head in his hand, threw it to the side, and lowered the head of the corpse puppet. Then he began to open his bow left and right, crackling and crackling, and blasted the corpse golems hooked on the wall one by one.
By the time Xiao Taohong's wave of dense ice blade rain was over, Li Shuhang had already rushed to her front. Using the impact of stepping on the empty step, in the narrow hole, he made an all-round rush attack, and the "shut up" long knife was extremely sharp, and if it slashed through the body of a corpse puppet, it would be divided into two parts. It's just that for Li Shuhang, this kind of slashing feeling is not pleasant, coupled with the rapid movement in the air, the thick blood clots of the severed limbs and remains splashed everywhere, and his stomach is already overturned, and he is miserable.
It is very simple to say why Li Shuhang can still use magic, because the "broken spirit" can both close and open the door. Li Shuhang had tried it on the way back before, and the so-called "forbidden spirit land" was actually the exit of the spiritual energy that had been completely closed, so it could not be mobilized. In essence, it is the same path as Li Shuhang's innate secret method "Breaking the Soul". As long as he slightly urged the "Broken Spirit" to open a few spiritual energy holes, he could smoothly absorb the spiritual energy. For him, it's not difficult.
But for Xu Junfeng, who shot flaming arrows from time to time in the back, it was a bit mixed.
"Li Shuhang! You have built the foundation, why didn't you say it earlier!"
"I didn't!uh~~~ I'm talking about it later, the blood clots have fallen into my mouth, vomit~~~" Li Shuhang continued to move up and down in the hole while spitting.
At this time, Nangong Muying also fought side by side with Xiao Taohong, and both of them used intensive attack spells to open a flesh passage in the corpse puppet group. Li Shuhang and Ma Xie responded on both sides, killing the fish that slipped through the net, while Xu Junfeng shot the corpse puppet crawling from the top of the cave with a bow and arrow in the rear. The more the five of them fought, the more comfortable they became, and they faintly formed a breakthrough formation, and the actual combat was still very important.
"The flesh and blood on the corpse puppets are highly poisonous, and they can't be glued, let alone hurt by their claws and teeth," Xu Junfeng reminded loudly from behind
"Then what should I do, you just talked to me and it went into your mouth!!" Li Shuhang was in a hurry!
"You don't have an antidote, swallow one first!"
Most of the corpse puppets were made by monks who had mastered evil spells such as corpse alchemy refining the corpses of ordinary mortals. Generally, they don't have too strong physique and strength, and they are definitely a lot stronger than ordinary people, but they are definitely useless against immortal monks. But it's miserable, this is the "Forbidden Spirit Land", except for Li Shuhang, all spells and abilities have been greatly weakened, and the magic weapons and talismans hidden in the body are not very easy to use. In addition, these corpse puppets have an endless meaning, and their slaughter speed shows no signs of decreasing. After a full advance for more than an hour, everyone began to feel tired. Especially Li Shuhang, as early as half an hour ago, he didn't dare to use the "step step" to be cool in the hole, so he could only honestly use "shut up" to chop, but even so, whether to use the "wind blade" and "broken spirit" to deal with emergencies is almost the end of the crossbow.
"There's an exit ahead!" Ma Xie, who is tall and tall, was the first to discover hope, after all, he was a person who grew up in the mountainous and dangerous Beiju Luzhou.
"Are you sure?!" Xu Junfeng asked with a dry mouth. Since Li Shuhang was no longer using that dazzling footwork, his pressure had greatly increased, and some fish that had slipped through the net needed his bow and arrow to solve.
"Sure, it's right ahead!" the giant axe could not be used in the cave, and Ma Xie used a pair of fists to open the way from beginning to end. The corpse puppets hit by him were like smashed watermelons, with soup all over the ground and minced meat flying everywhere.
"You help me guard it, I'll open the sword mound!" Nangong Muying, who had been silently chiseling the formation, opened his mouth and ordered everyone
"Li Shuhang, Ma Xie, fight!" Xu Junfeng replied and urgently ordered the two flanks.
"What do you mean?" Li Shuhang was a little confused.
"Just go all out!" the red-haired boy didn't hesitate to explain
While speaking, Nangong Muying stopped the sword chisel formation. He took out a silver talisman from his sleeve and put his hands together in front of his nose, as if he was accumulating spiritual power.
As soon as the momentum of the chiseling array was loosened, the attack of the corpse puppets immediately intensified.
Li Shuhang immediately unfolded all his spells, almost trying his best to speed up the slash, and his fatigue rose rapidly.
Ma Xie was not idle, and finally pulled out the giant axe behind his back, and almost the whole person was against the back of the giant axe, roaring and rushing forward.
Little Peach let out a coquettish cry, her long hair was windless, and there were eight more runes around the round spell in front of her, and eight spear-shaped ice edges swirled forward with the runes.
Xu Junfeng bent his fingers and raised his eyebrows, pulled out a golden arrow from his forehead, put on the bowstring, and shot out with a full bow. The golden arrows flew all over the place, but all the corpse golems within five feet of each other were instantly burned to ashes.
The four of them start to really desperately!
Maybe it's only a few breaths, maybe it's been a few days and nights, or maybe it's the time for a cup of tea and a stick of incense. Li Shuhang has no time to calculate the length of time. But he knows very well that as long as his mind is relieved, he will pass out and will not be able to fight again. However, he knew that he couldn't, and now the whole team couldn't do without anyone, even if he was dragging his feet.
"Get out of the way!" Nangong Muying's crisp voice sounded "Wanli Cloud Tu"!
Nangong Muying opened her hands, and a cyan transparent quaint little sword dragged a chain, which swept out of thin air between her palms. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a giant sword more than ten feet long, destroying and decaying, filling the entire cave. The greatsword went all the way forward, bringing up a cloud of dust and rubble, and the whole cavern rattled. The cave was opened by Nangong Muying's trick, and the dazzling sunlight swayed in.
When Li Shuhang's intuitive giant sword passed by, even the snot and tears were dragged forward with a handle. Looking at Nangong Muying, she was already paralyzed on the ground. Without saying a word, Li Shuhang tried his last strength, flashed to the fairy in white, and hugged him in his arms. At this time, you must not fall!
"What are you still doing in a daze, rush!" Ma Xie roared angrily and grabbed Li Shuhang's back collar and threw it out.
Li Shuhang hugged Nangong Muying tightly, panting, trying his last strength, performing his empty steps, and rushed out of the cave.
"Little Peach!Xu Junfeng!Ma Xie!" Li Shuhang, who was already in mid-air, turned around and roared towards the hole in the cliff!
"Hahaha~~Here it is~" The first to fly out of the cave was Xiao Pink, and then Ma Xie also jumped out of the cave with the soft Xu Junfeng, and the corpse puppets chasing behind him fell off the cliff one by one.
"! there's a cliff out there!!" Li Shuhang yelled in despair, tears and snot still hanging from his face.
