Chapter 462: Aftermath
The corpse of the ghost vine color ring was burned in the rainforest, which naturally caused a sky-high fire, but Feng Duyou had five fire orders in hand, and controlled the fire in time, and after the ghost vine color ring died, he put away all the flames on his body, leaving only a black body left there.
The three elders returned, their expressions were slightly embarrassed, especially Feng Duyou, whose already cloudy eyes were even more dim, and it seemed that the Five Flames Order that triggered the five-fold bonus was really laborious for him.
Feng Duyou returned the Five Flames Order to Xiao Cong, and said with a smile:
"This time thanks to the Fourth Young Master Xiao's Xuanbao, otherwise with the three of us, we may not be able to subdue it, this Xuanbao is good, but it is too consuming aura, now return it to Fourth Young Master Xiao, you can put it away." β
Xiao Cong smiled and took the Five Fire Orders and put them back in Mi Kei,
"Elder Feng has said it, no matter how good the Xuanbao is, it can only exert its due power in the hands of people, and this great victory is still thanks to the cooperation of the three elders, please accept Xiao Cong's worship. β
As he spoke, he bowed down.
Feng Du was flattered when he saw it, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to help,
"Fourth Young Master Xiao What are you doing, isn't this a torment for the old man, the gentleman is hard to chase, since he promised to escort Fourth Young Master Xiao through the Ancient Zhou Plain, even if we throw these old bones here, we will die well, besides, we are not just to escort Fourth Young Master Xiao through the Ancient Zhou Plain, this is also for ourselves, Fourth Young Master Xiao hurry up, the old man can't afford such a big gift from you." β
Xiao Cong straightened up and smiled slightly,
"No matter what, after all, it is Yu Xiao Cong who is gracious, and since he is gracious, he should be grateful. β
Shi Yusheng said with a big grin:
"What is not thankful, if you want to thank you, we should thank you, it's all to move forward, we just have to die hard, you are building a formation, you are brainstorming, and you are lending Xuanbao, your credit is more than a few of our old bones. β
Song will flatter at the right time:
"Elder Shi is right, Fourth Young Master Xiao's credit is much greater than ours, and it should be us who thank you. β
Xiao Cong was helpless and waved his hand,
"Forget it, no one can thank anyone, since they are all going to the same idea, then we should work together to go all out, and those who can work harder. β
Song will make a move,
"Fourth Young Master Xiao is wise. β
Next to him, Ah Zi's Spirit Swallowing Pill has not yet been refined, but it has reached the final stage, and the fire is being carefully controlled.
Xiao Cong felt that although the ghost vine color ring had been burned now, the distance from the porcupine next to it was still too close, if he interrupted the refining of the Spirit Swallowing Pill in a hurry, it would definitely cause all kinds of changes in the Heaven and Earth Qi here, but it would not be the porcupine next to him that was a threat to them, and the overlords around here would probably have to come to find out, and when the time came, they would not say anything about their previous achievements, and maybe they would fall here, which was really not wise enough, so Xiao Cong ordered everyone to stay here quietly, waiting for Ah Zi to successfully finish refining this furnace of Spirit Swallowing Pillγ
Swallowing the elixir given by Xiao Cong, the three elders who returned triumphantly began to sit cross-legged and meditate and breathe, and the others also sat down on the ground, because they were afraid that Ah Zi would be distracted, they were all entertaining themselves and finding things to do for themselves, and none of them spoke.
Xiao Cong sat beside Ah Zi, quietly observing the Spirit Swallowing Pill that had been formed in the Qijin Alchemy Furnace, and at the same time quietly feeling the changes in this space, the aura was indeed passing, at this rate, the aura that was dispersed in this space because of the Great War could almost be sucked into the Spirit Swallowing Pill, the difference must be there, but it was so far away, it was estimated that the overlords next to him would not notice it.
But because the corpse of the ghost vine Caihuan was burned, most of the aura in the body was converted into energy, resulting in a bit of energy, but relying on a furnace of swallowing elixir, the absorption could not be completed, even if there was more space to dilute, even if the porcupine that was also a violent vitality might not be very sensitive to this, but there was not only one porcupine around, the overlord who was entrenched on three sides, and he could definitely detect the abnormal movement of the energy here.
This is another issue that needs to be solved urgently.
Xiao Cong thought for a while, and felt that he really didn't have a treasure to solve this problem at this time, and there was only one alchemist, Ah Zi, and now he couldn't spare his hands, and at the moment, it seemed that he could only use his housekeeping skills to build a magic circle to absorb the energy here.
I made up my mind in my heart, turned my head and said to Ah Zi:
"You put the time back a little longer, buy me some time, I'll have to get rid of the excess energy here. β
Ah Zi didn't respond, thinking that it was tacit.
Then, Xiao Cong said to the others:
"Trouble a few seniors to go around and be on guard. β
When Song Jiang and the others heard this, they got up and said "yes" and dispersed.
Xiao Cong took out a set of materials for building an array, and in just half a cup of tea, he laid down an energy accumulation array specially used to absorb energy, which was similar to the spirit gathering array used to drive the stone tower formation when he was in Snake Valley, but that spirit gathering array could not only absorb energy, but also absorb spiritual energy, which was a little more advanced than this energy gathering array - in fact, in Xiao Cong's opinion, it was not so advanced!
Combined with the actual needs, this time the formation is a magic circle with a master of the array, because it is too difficult to let the magic circle control the amount of energy absorbed, and whether it absorbs more or less, it will attract the attention of the surrounding overlords, so this time Xiao Cong has to go out in person, with his own estimate, to control the amount of energy absorbed, and return to the previous state as much as possible.
Xiao Cong stayed in the magic circle for nearly half a quarter of an hour, and when he came out, he found that his energy state was really about the same as before the war, and he couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart.
"I didn't expect it to succeed in one time, I thought I would have to come a few more times!"
Over there, Ah Zi was still holding on, sweating profusely, and seeing Xiao Cong being self-absorbed there, he asked loudly:
"Are you okay over there?"
Xiao Cong then remembered that Ah Zi was still buying time for him, and hurriedly replied:
"It's over, it's over, let's get it out of the oven. β
Ah Zi's hands changed the magic seal, and the purple flame slowly extinguished.
Xiao Cong put away the formation materials that could still be used, returned to Ah Zi's side, and said with a smile:
"Good work. β
Ah Zi lost a big roll of his eyes and complained:
"I thought it was just to lead the way, but I didn't expect it to be so hard to walk with you, if it weren't for the instructions of the mother before leaving, I wouldn't have bothered to care about you!"
Xiao Cong on Xiao Cong's face became more and more brilliant,
"Ah Zi girl is kind-hearted, we are also friends, you will never see death and not save you, right?
Ah Zi pouted,
"Who is rare, if you give me this alchemy furnace, I am still willing to laugh at it. β
Xiao Cong shook his head violently,
"That's not good, this stove was left by Zhong Liqiu's old man to our Xiao family back then, this is the only one in the world, I still want to find a successor for him to send out!"
"What do you think of me?"
Xiao Cong stroked his chin with his right hand like a star cloud, and after a moment of silence, he said:
"Well, you're fine, but you can't be too arbitrary, depending on your performance in the future. β
Ah Zi sneered,
"Look at what makes you scared, but also look at the future performance of this girl, this girl has the White Lotus Village behind her, it is rare to learn your broken mystical method, Zhong Liqiu is amazing, even if Xuanyuan Ancestor comes, this girl will not look at him more!
Xiao Cong was not annoyed, just smiled,
"If you don't say that I forgot, you are a cultivator, the inheritance of Zhong's predecessors is a mystical method, and you can't learn it if you want to. β
Ah Zi snorted lightly and turned his face away.
Xiao Cong is still provoking,
"You really don't want it, if you don't want it, I'll put it away. β
Ah Zi's head doesn't turn,
"It's all said, it's not uncommon!"
Xiao Cong poured out the remnants and pills in the Qijin Alchemy Furnace, and put them into the mustard together with the Dan Spectrum, leaving only six Spirit Swallowing Pills in his hands, ready to give them to them when the three elders finished breathing.
After waiting for a while, it occurred to me that without his own instructions, several elders and tribal leaders might not dare to come back, so Xiao Cong said to Ouyang who had the best foot strength:
"Ah Xun, go and call them all back, it's time for us to leave. β
Ouyang Xun replied with a "good", and hurriedly left with the secret method.
Seeing that Xiao Cong was fine now, Xingliuyun leaned over and said with a smile:
"I said, Satoshi, have we forgotten something. β
Xiao Cong knew as soon as Xingliuyun's attitude that this guy didn't hold back any good farts in his heart,
"Something to say. β
Xingliuyun laughed a few more times,
"Look, the corpse of the ghost vine color ring has not been burned through, I wonder if there should be something in it, right, it is said that the long worm with a high level of profundity is likely to cultivate a spirit bead for the subsequent use of the Jiaohua dragon, that is a great thing, this ghost vine color ring is in the middle of the moon realm, and there may be one in the body!"
Xiao Cong listened and thought, at first he felt that what Xingliuyun said made a little sense, snake creatures do exist to walk Jiaohua dragon, and this is the lifelong wish of many ordinary snake creatures, which is tantamount to the human monk's change of life, but there are some exceptions, such as the snake emperor clan, they disdain to walk Jiaohua Dragon, because they think that their bloodline is no worse than the dragon clan, and another point is that even if snake creatures can succeed in walking Jiaohua Dragon, but what they achieve is not a real dragon, and even the current dragon clan is not comparable, at most it is just a Jiaolong, saying that Jiaolong may be confused with Jiaolong, but to put it bluntly, it is the so-called dragonγ
In the ancient books that Xiao Cong saw, Jiao and Jiaolong are not the same thing at all, Jiao is Jiao, not a dragon, although the dragon is not a dragon, but it is closer to the dragon than Jiao, and people don't know much about Jiao, so they call Jiaolong Jiaolong.
But after thinking about it carefully, he felt very unreliable, because the spirit snake walked Jiaohua Dragon, and the body must be pure, and this ghost vine color ring also refines a thirteen-section vine in its body, just this point, he can't walk Jiao in this life, let alone turn into a dragon, as for whether the so-called spirit bead has been cultivated in his body, although Xiao Cong doesn't know, but it is not rare, of course, these are secondary, I'm afraid that the whim of Xingliuyun will cause extraneous branches, in case there is something else in the body of the ghost vine Caihuan, so that their whereabouts are exposed, wouldn't it be too much to lose, so he resolutely denied Xingliuyun's idea,
"No way!"
The nebula is incomprehensible,
"Why, have you forgotten what I told you before, there is a cheap and not to take advantage of the turtle king bastard, the ghost vine color ring is not to take advantage of the cheap, a spirit bead of a strong person in the middle of the Moon Realm will definitely come in handy in the future!"
Xiao Cong sneered,
"You save it, a mongrel, what kind of spiritual bead can it refine in its body, and it also walks Jiaohua Dragon, it is so beautiful, what should you do in a hurry, don't be delusional." β
Xingliuyun did not give up, and said in a righteous and stern manner:
"Seeing is believing, you didn't cut it open, how do you know that there is no spirit bead in it, besides, things are precious, maybe the spirit bead in the body of this ghost vine color ring is more precious!"
Xiao Cong sneered,
If you really want to dissect his body to take a look, I won't stop you, but you can think about it, if something happens in between, you can leave us all here if you are not careful, and weigh it in your heart, whether it is the importance of the spirit bead or the importance of life. β
Xingliuyun was speechless, and after thinking about it for a long time, he still didn't dare to act rashly.
The commanders and elders came back, Yue Shanlun, Feng Duyou and Shi Yusheng The three elders also opened their eyes and stood up, Song Jiang was still that serious flattery, and at this time, unexpectedly, he bowed to Xiao Cong again, and praised:
"There is no omission in the whole thing, thanks to Fourth Young Master Xiao's thoughtfulness, Fourth Young Master Xiao's methods are really embarrassing. β
Xiao Cong was already tired of Song Jiang's sycophancy when he saw the stitches, but at this time, he still had to pretend to be smiling and polite, and he really felt a little painful.
"Song Commander has won the award, how can the younger generation have any thoughtful and clever means, it is all up to the seniors to give a chance to experience, the seniors intend to cultivate the younger generations, and the younger generations naturally understand in their hearts, of course, they must spare no effort. β
Zhang Tianxiao laughed and said:
"Fourth Young Master Xiao, I find that you are too modest, it stands to reason that being modest is not a bad thing, but if you want to say that a few of our old horsemen cultivate you, then we can't afford it, suppress the ghost vine color ring with the Five Fire Order, and use the refining spirit swallowing pill to block the spiritual energy and energy, even if I give me ten heads, I can't think of it, so you have clever means, I am convinced!"
Several other leaders also laughed one after another:
"In the future, I will follow Fourth Young Master Xiao, but I will really learn. β
"Isn't it, if you can learn half of the essence of Fourth Young Master Xiao, you will still be worried about the peak in this life. β
......
The more Xiao Cong listened, the more disagreeable he became, knowing that these people were entertaining him, and only after they had enough of enjoying themselves did he say calmly:
"It's not too early, seniors, shouldn't we continue on our way?"
Everyone said yes again and again, and the group finally set off again.
Xiao Cong still limited the scope of the investigation to a radius of two miles, relying on his keen spiritual sense, to understand the situation within these two miles as much as possible, although he experienced a great victory, but Xiao Cong's vigilance did not lower by half a point, so this section of the road went much smoother.
Xiao Cong is not a saint, even if he thinks about it thoroughly, people are still invincible to heaven after all, because they have been merit-based before, and they have not gone much north, ignoring the fact that the Tu Lagoon River in the deeper part of the ancient Zhou Plain has reached nearly a thousand branches, and as long as it is close to the water, it can be regarded as a dangerous area for them.
No, as I walked, I faintly heard the sound of water, and listening to this sound, the amount of water should not be small!
The faces of the commanders became a little ugly, Xiao Cong's face was even more ugly, the road was brought by him, and he could not escape the blame for such a thing.
Needless to say, Xiao Cong was the first to stop, and he would only push himself into the abyss if he was wrong, and he didn't do this kind of stupid thing to save face.
"Can't go any further, it's too dangerous, go, go back. β
Song Jiang and the others were obviously relieved, if Xiao Cong insisted on going that way, they would really have to follow obediently, and now Xiao Cong himself stopped, which made them feel relieved in their hearts, "To say or not to say", this kind of entanglement is really painful.
Xiao Cong's decision was made by the people, and naturally no one objected.
Everyone turned back a long way, and the re-chosen path was to go north as much as possible on the premise of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, it was obvious that these were not the wisest choices, but it was safe to go all the way.
Xiao Cong couldn't help but wonder a little in his heart, it stands to reason that the stronger the overlord who inhabits the place closer to the Tu Lagoon River, but now he found that the strength of the overlord distributed on both sides seems to be almost the same, and it is quite a bit of a group, which is very strange, the only explanation is that there is a very powerful and headache overlord ambushed nearby, otherwise the overlords who have always been arrogant will not have such a tacit understanding and "unity".
But he couldn't see the specific location of this overlord, so he could only take it step by step, walking on thin ice.
Obviously, the Song generals on the side also discovered this situation, although they covered it up well one by one, but they still leaked a little worry.
The further he goes, the fewer overlords he inhabits, Xiao Cong has a strong ominous premonition, but the overlords behind him are too advanced, there is no time to drill, and he is pulling the whole body, and one side is in difficulty and all sides are supporting, forcing him to take people to move forward.
It didn't take long to walk, and the confusion became clear, because there was a quiet water in front of it, and a good place like this must have a strong entrenchment, and the end could not be walked.
But when Xiao Cong and the others found out, it was too late, because the other party had already discovered them first.
A breath in the middle of the Moon Realm surged like a tide, and half of his black head gradually appeared in the grass in the water, Chu Zhengduo exclaimed,
"It's a fishy marten!"
When Xiao Cong heard this, he felt his head big for a while, and he couldn't help but scold,
"His ancestors, I didn't expect to meet so soon!"
Ah Zi'e frowned slightly, turned her head and asked:
"Your spiritual sense is so powerful, and you have avoided so many dangers along the way, why can't you find it!"
Xiao Cong smiled bitterly,
"This question, I also wonder, if it is not for its ability to do this, it is because of this water......"
A purple white eye,
"Anyway, the problem is not with you!"
"Are you questioning my outstanding abilities?" Xiao Cong said with a smile, his expression very funny.
As he spoke, the fishy marten had completely emerged from the water, good fellow, there was not even a single hair on this shiny skin, it looked like armor from a distance, with a long mouth, small eyes, pointed ears, strong limbs, and a snake-like tail behind it, the most important thing was the smell, my God, it really smelled bad and disgusting.
Ah Zi and the ghost girl beside him vomited directly.
The nebula covered his nose and screamed,
"I'll go, I look like this, my body still stinks, I'm afraid this guy will die and come back to life!"
Xiao Cong covered his nose, although he had sealed his nasal cavity with a magic method, it didn't work at all, the fishy smell on this fishy mink was the same as his mother's magic, and it spread into his nasal cavity in wisps, unhindered.
"Commander Song, what do you want to do, although this guy is a Taoist in the middle of the Moon Realm, he is definitely stronger than the average middle of the Moon Realm, in your opinion, to fight or not to fight?"
Song Jiang also covered his nose, his expression was uncomfortable, but at this time, he still had the heart to laugh,
"If he dies there, we probably won't be able to enter it in the future, and he will stink to death!"
"What do you mean, just fighting?"
"Let's fight, we have an advantage, but this time the fourth son of Lao Xiao will help, we can only contain him, if we want to kill him, we have to rely on the magic weapon in the hands of you and that girl." β
"Okay, let's fight, pay attention to safety, and solve it quickly. β
Ah Zi tilted his head and asked:
"Do you still need to refine the Spirit Devouring Pill this time to lock the breath and energy of this space?"
Xiao Cong thought about it, shook his head and said:
"Don't do it, this thing is extremely fast, if you can't keep the medicine here, it will have to come up and attack you, besides, someone will definitely be injured in this battle, you take out the poison-swallowing eggs and prepare, and give people poison at any time." β
Ah Zi nodded,
"Good!"
Xiao Cong turned his head and said to the three elders Yue Shanlun, Shi Yusheng and Feng Duyou:
"The three seniors just experienced a fierce battle before, this battle does not have to fight for their lives, if you go, it will be a greater loss for our side, and it is best to do what you can. β
Yue Shanlun arched his hand and said:
"It's rare that Fourth Young Master Xiao is worried, after taking the Spirit Swallowing Pill you gave, our lost aura has been restored, and it is within my duty to be loyal to the Lord and protect the Master, you can rest assured, we will not let you down in this battle." β
Xiao Cong didn't have time to talk to them, so he only said, "Take care, elder", and then turned around and said to Xingliuyun Ouyang Xun:
"You two must protect Sister Younu, her Shang Tu Sword is crucial to this battle!"
Ouyang Xun agreed,
"Don't worry about this, it's on the two of us!"
The star cloud is still the frivolous face of the two ruffians,
"What are you kidding, she's my sister, I don't protect her!"
Xiao Cong pretended not to hear, and said to Yin Nuo:
"Hongxiang will be handed over to you for the time being!"
Yin Nuo bowed his hand,
"Fourth Young Master Xiao, don't worry, if anyone wants to harm Little Brother Hongxiang, step on my body first!"
Xiao Cong nodded, took out the Zhuxian Sword with his hand, and shouted to the others:
"Up!"
