Chapter 10, Spirit Stone Cave
Just treating the wound in this way is only a symptom but not a cure, after all, it is the work of the cultivation master, with their cultivation can stimulate the spiritual power in the body, and turn into a poisonous aura in the attack, as long as the other party is beaten out of the wound, those poisonous aura will enter the body. If you don't get treatment in time, you will inevitably be poisoned all over the body and eventually die violently.
Zhang Jingyi was a little anxious, and watched the "lazy cat" recover a little bit after cleaning the wound, so he made a decision.
"Lazy cat, I know that the elixir that those people are looking for should be what you need very much, but they are too strong for us to have a chance. And now that you're still injured, it's just an emergency treatment, and if you want to survive, you have to detoxify in time, so let's go back first. Zhang Jingyi hugged the dog covered in mud and blood, and felt a little distressed.
However, the earth dog in front of him seemed to understand human language, and he shook his head at Zhang Jingyi, and then whimpered a few times.
Seeing the dog's reluctant look, Zhang Jing sighed when he looked at the road. "Well, we'll take a risk once to avenge you. However, as soon as the elixir is in hand, it will leave immediately, and it will never stay again. ”
The dog in front of him nodded, and then licked Zhang Jingyi's face.
"I know you must have been wounded when you found out what they were doing, then you must know what happened to them, and your perception is far better than mine, and their movements must be clearer than mine. Now let's take a break, recharge our energy, and then do this ticket, and when they have a move, you can call me. ”
Next, one person and one dog entered the state of recuperation again, because it was already daytime, the danger factor was much lower than that at night, and there were four blatant cultivators not far away, and it was not their turn to be attacked by sneak attack, so Zhang Jingyi was no longer worried, but fell asleep with the "lazy cat" in his arms.
The sun gradually moved into the sky, and the scorching sun passed through the dense foliage of the forest, and fell on the ground as dappled bright spots.
After the four of them finished cultivating and recuperating in a clearing in the dense forest, they stood up and were all ready. Of course, the four of them all had their own thoughts, the three ghosts of Yan He were preparing for the treasure, while Wu Ba was trying to seize the opportunity to escape for his life.
After simply cleaning up, the four of them walked towards the mountain in the north direction.
Just as Yan He's three ghosts and Wu Ba were leaving, Xu Mo, who was sleeping lightly, had his ears fluttering keenly, and his eyes suddenly opened. Hmph! Even the dog master dares to hurt him, even if you can't get oil and water today, you can't make you feel better, Xu Mo thought secretly.
......
In order not to alarm the demon beast, the resting place chosen by the three ghosts of Yan He was not a short distance away from where the demon beast was, and after climbing three mountains, one man and one dog crept behind, until they saw the four people in front of them stop in front of a crack in the ground overgrown with various plants on the edge.
The fissure was at the foot of a steep mountain, about ten zhang long around the foot of the mountain, and almost as wide as an adult's height, but because the mountain was covered with vegetation, it was inconspicuous in the dense forested Qiaoling Mountain. If you don't get closer, you won't find it.
Yan He's three ghosts watched the surroundings vigilantly, and after making sure that there were no other people or demon beasts, they drove Wu Ba down. Wu Ba laughed flatteringly, but he couldn't resist, so he could only be forced to jump into this bottomless dark crack with great reluctance.
After a few people entered the ground for a long time, a bush not far from here trembled slightly, and then two heads of a man, a dog appeared.
If it is said that in the past few years that this local dog has grown up, the feelings and tacit understanding of this person and a dog have been cultivated, then this trip to Qiao Ling Mountain has allowed them to reach a stage of tacit understanding sublimation. There was no need to communicate anything, Xu Mo took the lead, and after checking on the edge of the ground to confirm that it was safe, he shook his head at Zhang Jingyi, so the 12-year-old boy followed.
Since there was no light in the cracks in the ground, it was pitch black when viewed from above, and there was a slight chill inside.
Xu Mo didn't hesitate at all, jumped onto a rock that lay out of the crack in the ground, and then fell to the bottom after a few consecutive jumps. At this point, there is no room for regret, and Zhang Jingyi is also tossing and turning.
The crack in the ground is about 20 zhang deep, and then the light that passes through the top is not bright, and you can still roughly see the general situation here, this is a karst cave about the size of a basketball court, and the stalactites hanging on the top are still dripping with water. The falling water gathers into a shallow pool on the ground, and the overflowing water forms a waterway that zigzags into the deep darkness.
Probably because of some reason, there was a crack in the ground above, and then there was a path to the bottom of the cave.
The cave extends in all directions, and there are no less than ten large and small cave entrances, and I don't know where it leads. Xu Mo sniffed back and forth on the ground several times before running towards one of the holes. Zhang Jingyi didn't stop at all, and followed the dog deep in.
Xu Mo smelled in this cave, except for the smell of the four people and some younger brothers, insects and beasts, there was no other abnormal smell. However, after the initial surprise, he quickly reacted, this was not the usual way for the third-order demon beast to enter and exit, it should have entered through a small entrance to carry out a sneak attack.
This Yan River Three Ghosts seems to be an old fritter in the rivers and lakes, and they have already surveyed after coming here, and they don't swagger to grab things, but find a way to attack in a roundabout way, and they are indeed extremely cautious.
After walking along this narrow and sometimes wide cave for nearly an hour, there was a faint light in front of me, how could there be light in this kind of deep cave? The nerves of a man and a dog also became tense, and it seemed that I was afraid that I would really be in front of the nest of the third-order demon beast.
The end of this deep hole is not a natural formation, it is a very new crack, and it is estimated that it is a crack in the huge building that has just opened. However, there has been no earthquake in the Qiaoling Mountains recently, and the origin of this crack is a bit abrupt. However, when Xu Mo thought that this nest was the place where the demon beast hid its treasure, it was impossible to leave such a gap for people to come and go freely in his nest.
In this way, could it be that this crack was caused by the battle between the two third-order demon beasts? Thinking of this, Xu Mo gasped, what a terrifying power it must be to be able to blast such a big crack on the mountain!
In addition to palpitations, he could only be more careful, Xu Mo carefully listened to the crack mouth with his ears pricked up for a while, but still did not find anything abnormal, so he poked his head out and glanced around the corner.
In front of him was a huge hollow, the shortest point was no less than forty meters high, but on the walls of this huge deep cave, there were countless points of light dotted with stars. It was quite surprising that such a scene appeared in this damp and gloomy environment, like a gentle sprinkling of moonlight, making the whole cave carry a little fairy aura.
After making sure that there was no danger, a man and a dog had the courage to walk into the huge hollow, and Zhang Jingyi touched the source of the light from the cave wall. It is a spar that exudes warmth, and when you hold it in your hand, it seems that the breath of your whole body is fluttering, and from the touch of the skin and the spar, you can clearly feel that it contains very rich energy.
"It's ...... Spirit stone?" After carefully observing the spar in his hand, Zhang Jing carefully compared what he saw in the book again and again, and said with great shock.
Xu Mo also took out a piece with his mouth, licked it a few times with his tongue, and confirmed that it was really a spirit stone.
Because the aura contained in heaven and earth is too thin, for people whose cultivation is too low, although these aura can also be absorbed, the speed is very slow, and I am afraid that it will not be able to improve by one level after ten years of absorption. Of course, some top-level exercises can increase the speed of absorbing aura, but after all, it is definitely not enough for cultivation if it is too thin, so the spirit stone rich in aura has become the fastest thing to cultivate.
In the cultivation realm, spirit stones are hard currency, just like the currency of the mortal realm. And such a small piece of spirit stone, if it is sold to a monk, it can be exchanged for thousands of taels of silver, but this entire wide cave is dotted with spirit stones, if they are all dug up, it will definitely be rich and rival the country!
Even if he knew that this trip was not for the spirit stone, but looking at the wealth full of holes, Rao is Zhang Jingyi, who usually didn't care so much about glory and wealth, suddenly had his eyes lit up.
Xu Mo glanced at the young man, Che, I really haven't seen the world, and I was stunned by this little thing. I think that when Lao Tzu was reincarnated as a big man, that kind of financial resources were enough to make the entire Qiaoling Mountain Range covered with spirit stones.
However, he couldn't speak, so he had to bite Zhang Jingyi's trouser leg and drag it in, even so, this poor boy in the mountains and wilderness still dug a few spirit stones as fast as he could, and hid them tightly in his arms, for fear of losing them, and finally reluctantly followed the dog deeper into the hole.
Along the way, you can see all kinds of abandoned spirit stones on the ground that have been absorbed, and after there is no spiritual energy, the spirit stones are no different from ordinary rocks, which shows that these third-order demon beasts have a great demand for this spirit stone when they are cultivating. And this empty hole is probably a place where demon beasts are specially used for cultivation on weekdays.
After about ten minutes of walking, you came to a huge cave the size of several football fields, which seemed to be in the middle of the cave. One end is shining through a little light, like a cave entrance, which is probably where the monster beasts enter and exit on weekdays, and the other end can see the bottom, but there are also several bifurcated holes, and I don't know what they are used for.
There are no more spirit stones here, but there are a lot of luminous stones on the top, which shine with starlight and are quite romantic. It can be seen that this demon beast is not as chaotic as the other rude beasts, and it is still a demon beast with a bit of taste.
