Chapter 51: The Cave
The west side of Fenglian Mountain has always had the most demon beasts, and there are many dangers. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
But it is also the place where the most treasures and harvests are the most abundant.
A figure swept softly through the woods, and the birds that had startled a tree flew up.
After following ten miles of land, Cheng Mo finally came here.
It's a wall, a mountain wall to be exact. There is a gap in the mountain wall, and if you look closely, it turns out to be a gap between the walls between the two mountains. Cheng Rui's footprints went into this gap.
Cautiously, Cheng Mo also got into the gap, walked for a moment in the wall between the two mountains, and found a dark cave.
Because it is in the wall between the two mountains, there is little light transmission, and then a cave is formed in the belly of the mountain, and the light is even darker. Cheng Mo frowned, picked up a few dead branches casually, lit them, and reluctantly used them as lighting. He cautiously held the torch and walked slowly into the cave.
According to the instructions of insight into all things, Cheng Rui should be in this cave, Cheng Mo is careful with every step he takes, he must guard against any creatures hiding in the shadows.
After walking for a distance of about one or two hundred meters, the light in the cave became dimmer and dimmer, and Cheng Mo's walking speed slowed down even more. Just as he was walking forward, he suddenly heard the sound of "呑呑", Cheng Mo's ears were very sensitive, and an invisible crisis seemed to be attacking from behind.
I don't know where the sixth sense came from, Cheng Mo dodged and dodged, as if some strong wind was dodged by him.
Then the flickering fire in his hand shone on the cave wall, and Cheng Mo found a large cloud of dark green liquid on the wall, as if it was the juice sprayed by some poisonous insect.
The sound sounded from behind, and Cheng Mo turned around vigilantly and bounced towards the opposite wall. The moment he bounced to his feet, he finally saw the creature that had attacked him, a giant scorpion.
The scorpion is half the size of a man, especially the two pairs of pincers are like harpoons in the hands of fishermen. The pincers were full of stingers, glowing with a fluffy glow in the trance of the fire. The tail behind the scorpion is about half a meter long, stubbornly standing behind its back.
A term flashed through Cheng Mo's mind: Cave poisonous scorpion is a kind of demon beast that likes to live in dark caves, and is usually cultivated by scorpions that are more than a hundred years old. This scorpion is so poisonous that if a practitioner below the entry period is hit by the venom, he will die instantly in less than ten seconds.
"The first time I met a demon beast, it turned out to be this guy......" Cheng Mo gasped, a little apprehensive in his heart.
The cave scorpion in front of him raised two big pincers proudly, and suddenly the tail behind it was violently elongated and smashed towards Cheng Mo's chest. Cheng Mo leaped forward and dodged this attack. At the place where I landed just now, I saw that the stones were falling one after another, and the huge stones were smashed into countless small gravels.
"That's a lot of strength!"
Cheng Mo thrust the firelight in his hand into the cave wall and stabilized it on the wall. Then he rolled and landed firmly behind the scorpion, and when he landed, the sword in his hand was already unsheathed, and it slashed at the scorpion's big tail!
There was a crisp "Kala", like a slash on a steel whip, and sparks flashed from the collision between the two. Cheng Mo's long sword pressed the scorpion's tail, making it impossible to lift it, and the blade of the sword slid down the scorpion's tail towards the scorpion's body. The long sword rubbed against the scorpion's tail and made a "click" sound, and when the blade of the sword slid to the last bone joint of the scorpion's tail, Cheng Mo suddenly stopped.
"Unload the palm!" Cheng Mo snorted lightly, stepped on the scorpion's bone joint, and the sword in his hand was not idle, and slashed upwards in the opposite direction of the foot!
Cheng Mo hurriedly turned around to avoid it, and the poisonous juice splashed everywhere, spraying all over the cave wall in front of him.
Taking advantage of the pain of the cave scorpion's broken tail, Cheng Mo suddenly got up, jumped up like a cheetah, and fell heavily on the scorpion's back. The safest part of the cave scorpion is its back, where it has no weapons to attack but rests steadily. Cheng Mo stepped on the back of the cave scorpion, and the scorpion was furious, and the two big pincers came to the back mercilessly.
A look of triumph flashed in the corner of his eyes, and Cheng Mo actually handed the sword in his hand in the direction where the scorpion's big pincers came from!
With a "bang", the scorpion's large pincers clamped on the hard long sword. As if sensing that something was wrong, the scorpion's big pincers snapped downward, only to hear a "click", and the steel-infused long sword was crisply clamped in half. Cheng Mo's face changed slightly, and then he became more and more calm.
He picked up a severed sword on the ground, sandwiched it between his fingers, and looked at the knuckles of the scorpion's big pincers. The power of the whole body is concentrated between the two fingers, and all the aura is poured into the two fingers, and the fingers seem to be ignited by the blue flames, and they actually evaporate with a faint fireworks breath.
A glimmer flashed in Cheng Mo's eyes, and his fingertips suddenly exerted force, and half of the long sword pierced towards the scorpion's left pincer!
"Whew!"
The scorpion's big pincers were suddenly hit by the sword body with a roaring wind, and a majestic force pierced through the thick carapace of the scorpion's big pincers, gradually cracking from the tail of the pincers until the pincers were cut flat by the blade of the sword, and then the force penetrated the last connection that involved the scorpion's body, and the scorpion's big pincers were heavily penetrated!
The severed left pincer flew up and smashed into the cave wall opposite.
The scorpion was in pain, and the remaining single pincer swung violently. Cheng Mo took the other part of the broken sword, looked at the connection of the scorpion's pincers, and stabbed it fiercely! The surging spiritual power penetrated the bone joints of the scorpion pincers, only to hear a crisp sound, and the remaining single pincers also fell to the ground.
"Whew......" Cheng Mo let out a breath, and when the scorpion rolled over in a rage, he quickly jumped to the ground. He took a few steps back and wiped the sweat from his forehead, he had consumed a lot of his spiritual power with the two blows just now, and now he was obviously a little tired. But fortunately, he practiced the Great Dao Heart Sutra, and it didn't take more than a moment for the spiritual power in his body to work again.
Now the cave scorpion has broken its tail and pincers, and only a sleek body remains. To deal with such a demon beast, I'm afraid it's not too difficult anymore.
Cheng Mo saw the right time, aimed at the scorpion that was rolling, and launched the final blow!
He threw the half-severed sword in his hand, and the broken sword was mixed with the whirring wind like a falling meteor, whistling and stabbing into the scorpion's abdomen. Hearing only a "poof", the broken sword was inserted squarely into the center of the belly of the cave scorpion, like a huge nail nailing the scorpion to the mud floor of the cave.
The cave scorpion struggled vigorously, constantly spewing dark green venom from its mouth and wounds, and after a while, it was completely paralyzed and died motionless.
Cheng Mo breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the broken sword that nailed the poisonous scorpion in the cave, but seeing that the hilt of the broken sword was full of poisonous juice, Cheng Mo carefully tore off the corner of his clothes and wiped the venom on the hilt of the sword repeatedly. Although the sword is only half hilt, it can still be used. Maybe the blade of the sword contaminated with the venom of the cave scorpion is a good tool for him to defeat the enemy by surprise.
Cheng Mo put the half of the broken sword into the scabbard.
Gently wiping the sweat from his forehead, Cheng Mo looked at the corpse of the cave scorpion that was divided by five horses in front of him, and let out a long breath. This was his first time fighting demon beasts, and the rumors about demon beasts in the past were all in the academy, or from his mother Ye Lanzhi's mouth. Now that he encountered a first-order cave scorpion for the first time, he actually won after a battle, but Cheng Mo did not have any smugness in his heart.
Winning is not easy.
A first-order demon beast is so powerful, so wouldn't the second-order and third-order be even more difficult to deal with.
This victory can be regarded as a fluke, fortunately there is only one demon beast, otherwise the consequences are unimaginable.
Taking off the torch inserted in the cave, Cheng Mo continued to walk towards the cave, and now he became more and more careful.
A first-order cave scorpion is so powerful, who knows what else is strange in the cave? Just as he was cautiously moving forward, the fire shone at the end of the road, and there was a huge stone door.
The stone door was hidden, and there was a faint light inside.
Cheng Mo looked inside very carefully through the crack in the door, but saw that there were a lot of boxes piled up inside, and the boxes seemed to contain golden treasures, which seemed to be a treasure trove.
