Chapter 341: Corpse Spotted Stone
Under the guidance of Yue Lanqi, the three of them came to the place where the white stone was found, only to see that among the clusters of dream stones, an inconspicuous white stone was lying calmly on the edge of the dream stone, not even next to each other, under the reflection of the colorful light, it could not reflect any dazzling brilliance, it looked like a very ordinary stone.
"It's just an ordinary pebble, nothing special at all?" Milan picked up the white pebble with a cow, looked through it carefully, and finally spread his hands, said, and then threw it on the ground.
A hint of disappointment flashed in Mo Ming's eyes, and he was about to turn around and leave, but his face suddenly changed, he turned his head suddenly, looked at the white pebbles that fell to the ground in a daze, a trace of laughter slowly emerged, his mouth gradually opened, getting bigger and bigger, and then he suddenly laughed, and the two women looked at him with a puzzled face, wondering why he suddenly laughed.
Mo Ming didn't explain, and suddenly leaned down, picked up the white stone discarded by Milan, and held it tightly in his hand, as if he had obtained some treasure.
"Is it?" the two women looked at each other, "is this broken stone really some kind of nightmare crystal?" Milan exclaimed in surprise.
Mo Ming's palm was strong, he shook the hand holding the white stone, and then said with a smile: "You can go and pick some dream stones now." ”
Milan was confused as Mo Ming said, reaching out to touch a cluster of dream stones beside her, however, to her surprise, this time her hand did not pass over the ore again. Instead, I really felt the resistance of the ore, and there was a hint of coolness.
"The illusion is lifted!" Milan's eyes flashed with frustration as he pinched the Dream Stone he had just collected, "This broken stone is really a Nightmare Crystal, oh my God, I just dropped it on the ground." ”
Mo Ming put the white pebbles into the Ten Directions Killing Ring, in fact, he also felt very strange in his heart, the illusion formed by the Dream Stone was colorful and blurry, which could make people lose themselves and be unable to extricate themselves. And the Nightmare Crystal, which is also gathered and accompanied by the Dream Stone. The illusion it forms is the opposite, and it can make people have terrifying fantasies, like nightmares, tormented by nightmares but unable to escape. That's why it's a black crystal. But this white stone. It looked more like a toffee, and Mo Ming couldn't associate it with a nightmare anyway.
"Could it be that there has been a mutation?" Mo Ming secretly guessed in his heart, but then he didn't think much about it. Anyway, the illusion has been lifted, and the whereabouts of the disciples of the Yinnu Sect are still unknown, so he doesn't have time to find out the truth, "Forget it, let's go and ask the master directly after I go back." ”
Although a large number of Dream Stones were harvested, it also took a lot of time in the illusion, and at the same time, in the space corridor on the second floor of the Tower of Babel, where they disappeared, a group of people also arrived here.
"The imprint is gone here, and no new blank stone wall has been found in front of it, as if it suddenly disappeared when it arrived. ”
The eyesighted team members are reporting the results of the detection to Kai Ling, but her face has become gloomy, the corridor is full of traps, every step will trigger a layer of mechanisms, the strong mechanism puppets are not only powerful in attack, but what gives her the most headache is their stronger defense, the strong demonic energy attacks on the puppet, but it is like scratching, it has no effect at all, only a strong physical attack can cause damage to the puppet's body, but its strong defense makes them feel like crying without tears.
Although in the end, they all wiped out the puppet mechanism that suddenly burst out, but the battle also cost them a lot along the way, almost all of them were injured, and even two people died, but fortunately, they found a way for the puppet to weaken the attack, and came up with corresponding countermeasures, which changed the situation.
After many battles, they noticed that whether it was a human, a beast or a mechanical puppet, they all had a common feature, that is, the surface of their bodies seemed to be wearing a layer of hard armor, and after their attack fell on the puppet, the attack power would be evenly distributed throughout the body, so that it could effectively reduce the damage to itself, if it was just like this, it would be nothing, everyone joined forces, even if the damage was evenly divided, it should not be underestimated, and the most troublesome thing for them was that the armor tradition has a conductive effect, which can transfer the attack power acting on it to the ground, so that it is like Kai Ling and others' attacks are not on the puppet, but directly hit the floor like that, it is completely useless.
However, in the subsequent battle, a team member accidentally hit a golem to pick up a puppet and lift it off the ground, and at this time, they were surprised to find that the puppet that was picked up completely withstood their attack, and they realized that the armor must be in contact with the ground in order to transmit the attack, and then they found that when a mechanism is activated, no matter where they step on the corridor, it will not trigger the mechanism again, this discovery also made them breathe a sigh of relief.
"In that case, as long as we don't destroy all the golems, the mechanism will always be triggered, so we don't have to worry about triggering it again. Someone said this, but it turned out to be how wrong his idea was.
After they triggered the mechanism again, they did leave behind a slow armored heavy soldier as they had proposed before, and quickly left it behind, but when they dragged the armored heavy soldier out of a certain distance, this lone armored heavy soldier suddenly went crazy, it actually committed suicide, to be precise, it destroyed itself without warning, and when it disappeared, the demon disciples were shocked to find that this time, they actually triggered two mechanisms at the same time, and more puppets blocked their way forward, and it was this fierce battle that made them lose two generals。
It turns out that when the trap is triggered, there is a time limit, like a ring. There is a time limit for the competition, and the person who triggers the mechanism must destroy all the puppets within the specified time, if the time is exceeded, the remaining golems will disappear on their own, and those who fail the challenge will also be punished more severely, and will have to face a more brutal challenge.
The battles again and again caused Kai Ling and his party to consume a lot, and almost everyone hung up the lottery, all of them were injured, but it was not for nothing, and they finally noticed the relationship between the imprint on the ground and the mechanism. Then they followed the same force method as the three of Mo Ming before. came to the place where the three of Mo Ming disappeared.
"No trace of the Terrans has been found. Another member of the team with excellent ears closed his eyes and listened, and after a while, he shook his head helplessly, and he did not notice any movement in front of him.
Kai Ling's face was heavy. His gaze was slightly condensed. He stared straight ahead at the dark hallway ahead. But he secretly wondered in his heart: "There are obviously two blood stains at the door of the corridor that are about to dry up, they must have been left by those human races, but why are they missing?" And with their current condition, it is impossible to reach such a long distance, even if they find the marks on the stone slab, at most they can only reach here, and there is no trace of walking in front of them, have they disappeared out of thin air?"
"Are those Terrans all dead, right? and then disposed of as garbage?" a member of the team muttered in a small voice.
Kai Ling's eyes lit up suddenly, and the previous scene suddenly appeared in her mind, and her heart suddenly moved.
Yes, there are only two reasons why they can't be found, one is that they were wiped out in the battle with the golems and then swallowed under the floor as garbage, and the second possibility is that they didn't die at all, but found an entrance to the next level, which is the underground mire used to devour the golem's limbs to clean up the garbage. ”
Kai Ling's eyes froze suddenly, and she suddenly stepped out and stepped on a piece of the floor in front of her.
Rumble!
The mechanism was touched again, and a rumbling sound was heard on the wall in front of it......
And in the underground, I don't know how many meters, Mo Ming and the three of them are in trouble.
Boom Boom!
The huge sound continued to echo in the hollow underground space, and the three figures were fleeing frantically, and behind them, a giant earthworm with a thickness of nearly five meters followed closely behind them, and the rows of sharp teeth on the open mouth were superimposed, just row after row of sharp files, the cold light flashing on the tips of the teeth made people shudder, its appearance was the same as the sand worms seen in the desert before, only more stout, and the body surface did not have those hairy hairs, but instead there were layers of huge scales, and there were many uneven lines on the scales, so that it could move freely underground。
Rumble!
The giant insect used its thick tail to smash the obstacles blocking the road with just a flick, and the faces of the three of them suddenly changed greatly, and their feet couldn't help but speed up a little.
"Milan, it's all your fault, that you have to mine that ore, and you provoke this big guy, so that we have to burrow around here like rats. Yue Lanqi complained as she ran.
It turned out that it was Mo Ming and the three of them who were frantically fleeing, after coming out of the illusion of the dream stone, the three of them continued to move forward, and along the way, they found many precious minerals, and even some of them could not be named, Mo Ming also collected some of them all, and prepared to take them out, and then ask the Mushui Sect after returning to the sect.
"Is this also an ore, and why is the shape so interesting?" Milan asked, holding a gray crystal about five centimeters long in his hand, as he walked over to Mo Ming.
Mo Ming looked at it when he heard this, and when his eyes fell on the gray crystal shaped like a dog bone in Milan's hand, his face suddenly changed, and he asked urgently, "Where did you get this corpse spotted stone?"
"Is this thing called a corpse spotted stone? Why is the name so ugly," Milan muttered, then pointed to a stone forest not far behind him, and said, "There is a cave over there, and these corpse stones were found in that cave, and there are many of these ores over there, but the smell in that cave is too bad." ”
"A lot?" Mo Ming's heart jumped, his eyes instantly became heavy, and his feet moved, and the person had already rushed towards the direction of the cave that Milan pointed to.
Corpse spotted stone is a very rare associated ore, the human plane is very rare, but it has very special attributes, when refining the magic weapon, only need to add a little corpse spotted stone, it can make the magic weapon have the characteristics of anti-corrosion and anti-poison, perhaps this attribute is not even as good as a sharp attribute spirit sword for ordinary cultivators. But it often works wonders when it comes to the dangers that exist in nature.
Cultivation is a process of going against the sky, in addition to their own comprehension, more but with the help of external forces, with the help of a large number of resources, the cultivator can quickly break through the bottleneck and achieve higher achievements, but the treasures are in the spirit, usually hidden in some dangerous places in nature, many of the fierce places full of poisonous obstacles often grow some precious elixirs or spiritual mines, these poisonous obstacles are very powerful. But it discouraged those powerful cultivators.
However, the growth environment of corpse spotted stone is very special. Even a little cruel, corpse spotted stone is a kind of ore that accompanies corpses, and each corpse spotted stone must be surrounded by countless corpses, when a large number of corpses sink together. Over time, a kind of supreme yin qi will be produced. That is, corpse gas. And when the corpse qi is rich to a certain extent, it will produce a qualitative change, and the corpse bones will be nourished by the corpse qi for a long time. Over time, it may mutate and transform into a corpse stone, which grows under the continuous nourishment of corpse qi, and eventually becomes a corpse stone, and the formed corpse stone usually retains some of its previous form, so it will look similar to bones.
"Corpse markings are often only found in large ancient battlefields, and the number is very limited, only the ancient battlefield with tens of millions of corpses can gather so many corpses, in order to give rise to such a strong corpse qi, could it be that this underground space was once an ancient battlefield?" Mo Ming thought secretly in his heart, and at this time he had already come to the edge of the cave.
The cave found in Milan is not big, only more than ten meters in diameter, Mo Ming's brows are slightly furrowed, his face is a little solemn, but there is a very unpleasant, even some disgusting smell wafting from this not big cave, which is very strong.
Mo Ming leaned over to look into the cave, but his color suddenly changed, he finally knew the meaning of 'a lot' in Milan's mouth, only to see that on the inner wall of the cave, densely inserted corpse stones of different sizes, bursts of strange fluctuations echoed in the cave.
Wow!
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew out of thin air, stirring the disgusting breath in the cave, gushing out, and the smell of decay suddenly filled the air, and then sank.
"Gross!"
The three of them only felt nausea in their hearts, and their stomachs churned, this kind of smell even Mo Ming, who had long been accustomed to seeing dirt, frowned and couldn't bear it, while Yue Lanqi and Milan had already exaggerated their chests and retched.
"Huh?" Mo Ming's expression moved, the wind from the ground may not be without a reason, a gust of yin wind suddenly gushed out of the cave, there must be something changed in it, Mo Ming's heart moved, but his face suddenly changed drastically, "Could it be ......?"
Mo Ming turned around in shock, and suddenly shouted at Milan: "Milan, hurry up and bring the corpse spotted stone you collected!
Milan was stunned when she heard this, and looked at Mo Ming with some confusion, but before she could make any moves, there was a sudden rumbling sound in the cave, and then the three of them felt a sudden shock on the ground under their feet, and the sudden change caught the three of them a little off guard, and the unprepared Yue Lanqi even almost fell.
"It's too late!" Mo Ming's heart jumped violently, his face darkened instantly, and then his eyes sank, and he suddenly shouted at the two women who were a little panicked: "Hurry up and run in, escape!" and he himself suddenly turned around and jumped straight into the hole.
The two women were stunned when they heard this, and they didn't understand the situation yet, but they suddenly saw Mo Ming turn around and jump into the hole, and they were shocked.
Swish!
Just as the two women were about to reach the cave, a figure suddenly jumped out of the cave, but it was Mo Ming, who had just jumped down, and he was still holding a gray corpse spotted stone crystal with a length of one meter in his hand.
"Why are you still stunned? Hurry up, it's too late. Seeing that the two women did not listen to him and fled quickly, but came to the cave in the ground, they immediately shouted urgently, but their bodies did not stop, and rushed straight between the two women, and galloped deeper into the depths.
Yue Lanqi and Milan looked at each other, both of them didn't understand why Mo Ming was so nervous, but Yue Lanqi, as a maid, had a destiny that she had to obey, although she didn't understand why, she still turned around and chased her out.
"Cut!" one moment I will ask people to throw the treasure back in my hand, and then I will dig out a bigger one myself, what a ......" Milan muttered, but before he finished speaking, the ground under his feet suddenly sudden, the ground suddenly rose upward, and violent shocks continued to come from the ground under his feet, and there was a loud noise in the hole next to him, and the sound became closer and closer, louder and louder, as if something terrible was rapidly approaching, trying to rush out of the ground.
Milan's face changed suddenly, and he couldn't care about complaining anymore, so he ran away and chased in the direction of Mo Ming and Yue Lanqi.
Rumble!
And just as Milan left, a loud bang suddenly sounded, Milan looked back curiously, and was suddenly shocked, only to see a mountain of meat pressing on the place where she had just stood.
Roar......
In Milan's shocked gaze, the huge Roshan suddenly moved, and the top suddenly separated, revealing a bloody mouth large enough to swallow several elephants, and a low but penetrating roar accompanied by a strong rotten breath rushed towards her, and she realized that this Roshan was actually a fat giant insect body. (To be continued......)
