Chapter 176: Approaching the Spiritual Spring
Just when the two had fought for about forty rounds, Ma Yilong raised his long sword and stabbed the tall man's right eye. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
When the tall man saw it, he deliberately slowed down, and when he got Ma Yilong's long sword only a few inches away from his eyes, he reached out with his left hand and grabbed Ma Yilong's long sword, and at the same time, the long sword in his right hand stood up and stabbed Ma Yilong in the left rib.
Ma Yilong snorted lightly, gritted his teeth, and suddenly launched a fierce attack. At this moment, Ma Yilong did not dodge or dodge, stepped forward, and the divine sword in his left hand was directly aimed at the throat of the tall man.
Seeing this scene, the tall man first showed a trace of surprise, but the look of surprise flashed, and then he showed a look of disdain.
In the tall man's disdainful look, his long sword passed through Ma Yilong's left rib, and Ma Yilong's divine sword pierced his throat in an instant.
"You ......"
The tall man covered his throat with one hand and kept pointing at Ma Yilong, and his face changed to an expression of disbelief.
"There is a secret hidden in the depths of this water, which can allow immortal cultivators to restore their original spiritual power!"
After Ma Yilong whispered this, he raised his right foot, kicked the tall man out, and then plunged into the water. This is the third time that Ma Yilong has entered the water, and he is familiar with the road, and he quickly reached a distance of more than thirty zhang, and recovered his spiritual power. Under the effect of the healing spirit bead, Ma Yilong's injuries also recovered quickly.
After half a pillar of incense, Ma Yilong jumped out of the water again and floated down next to the tall man's body.
Although there was a deep hatred between him and the tall man, Ma Yilong still followed his principles, and after taking off the other party's storage bag and package, he bowed slightly, took out the fire fold, and incinerated the tall man's body.
All along, Ma Yilong's principle has not changed. The only exception was the short man he killed earlier, who really didn't have a chance at that time, and Ma Yilong naturally didn't think much about it.
After incinerating the tall man's body, Ma Yilong found the short man's storage bag and the snow wolf skin he had left behind earlier from his baggage.
After tidying up his things, Ma Yilong took out the lantern in the tall man's baggage. After staring at this object for a few moments, Ma Yilong smiled.
Ma Yilong was inspired by the other party and found a small thick branch from nearby. After splitting this branch with the divine sword, Ma Yilong used the divine sword to cut out a deep groove in the first half of the two halves of the branch, and then in the middle position, cut out a place that happened to be inlaid with a luminous stone. Ma Yilong set the luminous stone, aligned the two halves of the branches, wrapped them together with strips of cloth, and left a small strip of cloth.
In this way, when the night comes, this object can directly shoot out a small beam of light and shine on the ground in front of him, completely avoiding the trouble that Ma Yilong encountered before, and it is much more flexible than the lantern of the tall man.
The strip of cloth left behind is just right to tie this thing around the waist.
Ma Yilong looked at his invention more and more satisfied, and after carefully looking at it for a long time, he nodded with satisfaction, tied the luminous stone tube to his waist, and went straight upstream along the stream he found earlier.
Not long after walking along this stream, several other streams faded away and finally disappeared from view. Ma Yilong went all the way up, and only found traces of people appearing in a few places along the way.
However, because the stream itself is winding and does not lead directly to the center of the holy place, the road should be very detouring. At the end of the day, Ma Yilong only approached the center of the holy land for more than sixty miles.
The day before, Ma Yilong had walked more than 80 miles, so Ma Yilong was much behind. However, Ma Yilong has a huge advantage at this time.
Watching the sun slowly set in the west, Ma Yilong's feet accelerated, and after walking two or three miles, a waterhole appeared again in front of him, about forty zhang deep. Ma Yilong glanced around and jumped down.
In this pond, there is also a demon beast. However, it was only a third-level anaconda, and when it encountered this beast in the depths of the bottom of the pool, Ma Yilong, who had recovered to the peak of qi refining and cultivation, easily killed it in one round!
Ma Yilong quickly recovered his energy at the bottom of the pool, returned to the shore, and continued on his way. At this time, the sky was completely dark, and the night was still out of sight, Ma Yilong smiled and took off the luminous stone tube on his waist, and took out the cloth stuffed at the front end of the groove.
A light blue beam of light shone on the ground under his feet, and Ma Yilong showed a smug expression. With this treasure, you can see the road under your feet clearly without alarming people or beasts in the distance, which is really the best choice for walking at night.
Ma Yilong, who had recovered his strength, held this lighting "magic weapon" invented by himself in his hand, and continued to rush day and day. Before dawn on the third day, he drove out more than 60 miles. In this way, Ma Yilong chased back the little time he had delayed before.
Because no one has discovered the secret of the spell failure area, and no one will take a fancy to the spiritual spring like Ma Yilong, naturally no one will choose this long way. Ma Yilong's journey can be described as smooth sailing, and the traces he saw by chance at the edge of the stream were only left when someone came to fetch water.
In the spell failure area, there is no difference between every cultivator and ordinary person, and naturally they can't do without water, and it is normal for Ma Yilong to see these traces.
However, after Ma Yilong chased the journey all night, there was no trace of anyone in front of him. This shows that Ma Yilong is far ahead.
When the sun set on the third day, Ma Yilong finally reached the central area of the Holy Land, and also reached the vicinity of the source of the spiritual spring.
At this time, the sound of flowing water in Ma Yilong's ears suddenly increased a lot, and the slope of the stream began to increase, the boulders under his feet were steep and slippery, and the road became difficult to walk.
Ma Yilong took off the luminous stone tube and continued to hurry. After walking out of three or five miles with difficulty, a cliff more than 40 zhang high appeared in front of me. The water flows down from the cliffs, making a loud noise. This is what Ma Yilong heard before.
Obviously, the location of the spiritual spring should be on the cliff. However, the cliff is unusually steep. The cliffs are straight up, and the boulders on the surface are as smooth as a mirror, and it is impossible to climb at all.
If it weren't for the fact that this was in the spell failure zone, at such a height, any immortal cultivator could easily fly to the top of the cliff with a single stomp of his feet. However, this is the area where the spell fails, and the immortal cultivator here is equivalent to an ordinary person. As an ordinary person, this road is almost inaccessible.
Even if you are a person with strong martial arts, even if you are very good at light skills, in the face of such a stone wall, a stone wall that has no place to grasp and survive, there is no way to go up at all.
Ma Yilong looked at the stone wall in front of him and couldn't help frowning. (To be continued.) )
