Chapter 16: Broken Spear, Choice
Later, Gu Duzhong and Ling Mo recovered from pranayama one after another, and the medicinal power of the remaining karmic fire lotus seeds in Ling Mo's body helped him a lot, otherwise he would not have repaired his injured body so quickly.
Bian Lingxi has been guarding the two of them during this time, and he was relieved to see that they were all fine.
Gu Duzhong took a deep look at the Star Silver Grass, and said regretfully: "It seems that the Star Silver Grass really has nothing to do with us, so keep going!"
It stands to reason that Ling Mo still plays the role of pathfinder, but the old guy may have not taken back the imitation of the Eastern Emperor Bell for safety reasons.
Ling Mo felt that the people who came to this place back then should also be proficient in the formation, because the path he chose now was really sparse and broken compared to the surroundings, and it was very likely that it was a path that some people had explored back then!
On this road, Ling Mo also saw some broken weapons and battle armor and other things, several of which seemed to have been left recently, and there were still traces of blood on them that had dried up not long ago. Like on the bluestone road, Ling Mo didn't see the bones of the dead monk.
Maybe this place is really extraordinary, after the Star Silver Grass, Ling Mo and they have found some spirit grasses, such as dragon whiskers, jade red grass, and a few Ling Mo They can't name them at all, without exception, they are all rare treasures in the world, and those ordinary elixirs have not been seen.
Although the elixirs they encountered were good, they all grew in places where the magic circle was complicated, and Ling Mo and they had also tried it, but they all returned in vain and almost lost their lives!
After failing a few times, Bian Lingxi speculated: "Judging from the situation we have come, there are not many people who have entered this ancient land, and perhaps those opportunities that can be obtained have long been taken away by the predecessors!"
Ling Mo nodded secretly, the truth may be as Bian Lingxi said.
Along the way, Ling Mo had also seen things like battle armor weapons left on the ground, some of which had already been damaged by the magic circle, and even most of the runes in the magic weapons had been worn out. There are also many that are damaged at the touch and have long been damaged over a long period of time.
But there are no absolutes in the world, Ling Mo had just stepped on a place that didn't seem to be in the slightest danger, and suddenly several runes rushed towards Ling Mo!
Ling Mo snorted coldly, and several cold rays flew out from his fingertips to meet him. The cold light and the runes were annihilated at the same time, but Ling Mo didn't have any optimism in his heart, a murderous aura instantly locked on Ling Mo, like ten thousand steel needles piercing his skin.
The phantom of a war spear appeared where Ling Mo was standing just now, and the phantom of the war spear stabbed towards Ling Mo as soon as it appeared. Facing the war spear, Ling Mo rose with a pressure like Mount Tai, which was not at all what he could fight against now!
Boom!!!
At the critical moment, the imitation of the Eastern Emperor Bell was stimulated by the phantom of the war spear and awakened spontaneously to block in front of Ling Mo. The spear slammed into the bell, and the bell made a loud noise.
The war spear phantom seemed to be able to only send out one blow, and after a blow, the phantom vanished, but Ling Mo saw a narrow crack appear on the imitation of the Eastern Emperor Bell.
Of course, Gu Duzhong also saw the crack, and immediately turned pale, although this was only an imitation of the Eastern Emperor Bell, it was still an extremely powerful magic weapon. It was even mixed with some immortal gold, and its quality had almost reached the quasi-saint level, but it was actually hit by a phantom and a crack was made, which was difficult for him to accept. Also, what's going on with that phantom!?
Gu Dui urged the imitation of the Eastern Emperor Bell to blast towards the place where the phantom appeared, Ling Mo flashed to the side, in fact, he had a general idea of what was underneath, and if it was not bad, it would be a powerful weapon.
The rocks flew up, revealing the scene below, and a primitive war spear lay quietly in the rubble, and suddenly an ancient feeling came to me. Surprisingly, there was no unusual movement after the battle spear was revealed, and if it weren't for the earlier blow, even Ling Mo wouldn't have noticed that there was anything extraordinary about it.
Gu Dui urged the imitation of the Eastern Emperor Bell to detain the war spear, and Ling Mo and the others saw its full picture, the war spear seemed to be made of bronze, this was a section of its front end, only more than four feet long. I don't know how long the broken spear has been buried underneath, and you can still see mottled rust on it.
Even if he was detained by the imitation of the Eastern Emperor Bell, there was no movement in the broken spear. Gu Dui carefully grabbed the broken spear, and nothing happened, so he breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still cautious.
Ling Mo and Bian Lingxi didn't bother him when they looked at Gu Duzhong's serious expressions, and after a while, Gu Duzhong said in surprise: "Your Highness, it seems that our luck is good!"
Hearing this, Bian Lingxi suddenly looked up at Gu Duzhong, and his eyes were full of anticipation, to be said by Gu Duzhong, it is estimated that this broken spear is really extraordinary.
Gu Duzhong didn't sell it, and continued: "I don't know what grade weapon this weapon was when it was intact, the soldier soul inside it has long been gone. That phantom may have been the weapon's last obsession, but we inadvertently triggered it, which led the phantom to attack us. ”
"Although its divinity has almost disappeared now, its material alone is still a weapon that can threaten the imitation of the Eastern Emperor Bell!" Gu Duzhong said excitedly.
Bian Lingxi took the broken spear, and his eyes flowed with brilliance. Can it threaten the imitation of the Eastern Emperor Bell? I don't know what kind of style this weapon was back then.
I don't know what Bian Lingxi touched, the broken spear in his hand suddenly disappeared, Gu Duzhong was shocked and wanted to ask but saw the broken spear appear in Bian Lingxi's hand again, Gu Duzhong hurriedly asked: "What's the matter, how did it disappear just now!?"
It's no wonder that Gu Dusk lost his temper, after all, this broken spear is really too important, and he doesn't know what danger it will bring, so he can't afford to be a little negligent.
Bian Lingxi caress the broken spear and whispers: "Don't worry, I found that I can take it into my body." ”
Hearing this, Ling Mo looked at Bian Lingxi in surprise, knowing that there was no way to collect things into his body in the Xuan Realm. Although the Xuan Realm is a symbol of the beginning of cultivation, in the final analysis, it is still impossible to get rid of the limitations of mortals, and only when you reach the Heavenly Machine Realm can you truly begin to transcend, and at the same time, you also have the ability to collect foreign objects into your body.
It's not that the Tongxuan Realm must not be able to store things in the body, there are always some powerful spiritual objects that can be stored in the Tongxuan Realm or even in the body of people who have never practiced. Just like Ling Mo, who also didn't reach the mortal realm, wasn't he still stuffed a bunch of things in the Purple Mansion by Ling Yuxuan.
Gu Duzhong has already said that this broken spear has no soul anymore, but it can still be collected into her body by Bian Lingxi's traction, which can only say that this broken spear really has a big origin, and Bian Lingxi also has a relationship with it, Ling Mo can only sigh that Bian Lingxi's luck is really good!
The broken spear naturally belongs to Bian Lingxi, although Gu Duzhong is envious, he will not snatch it, after all, Bian Lingxi is half of his apprentice, how can there be a reason for the master to be an apprentice. As for Ling Mo, his current identity is a prisoner, and Ling Mo knows this very well!
Putting away the broken spear, the three of them continued on the road, still Ling Mo exploring the way. Moving forward along the path that his predecessor had explored, he found several more precious elixirs, but they were all protected by dense magic circles and could not be collected at all.
Not only the elixir, Ling Mo and the others also saw the fragments of several weapons, although they were broken and damaged, they still exuded a terrifying power, but unfortunately they were all protected by the formation and could not get them.
Along the way, Ling Mo and the others did not see a lot of fresh bloodstains, although they had also solidified for a while, but it was less proof that among the people who landed on the Cave Continent this time, in addition to the three of them, there were some unlucky people who entered this ominous place, and it was obvious that Ling Mo and they were now following behind those people.
I don't know if those unlucky guys are dead, Ling Mo thought maliciously.
After groping through the ruins for nearly a day, the broken bluestone road reappeared in sight. Seeing the long-lost bluestone road Ling Mojing gave birth to a cordial feeling, after all, as long as you don't die on the bluestone road, there is no danger, which is like this ruined area, maybe a good place is a killing array with one foot, it is impossible to prevent it at all, and it is tiring to deal with.
The bloodstains were much less on the bluestone road, but they were not cut off because of the appearance of the bluestone road, Ling Mo didn't know what those people had experienced on the bluestone road, and he didn't know why the three of them were calm on the bluestone road, which was a mystery to Ling Mo.
It was not unexpected to see bloodstains on the bluestone road, but the appearance of a bloodstain immediately attracted the attention of Sanhe. The bloodstains I saw before were all in pieces, but this place was not, after a bloodstain, there was an endless bloodstain extending to the front of the bluestone road, and there were obvious traces of dragging, and there was even more blood near this bloodstain!
This bloodstain shocked Ling Mo, it was very likely that something had happened to the owner of the blood here, this bloodstain was left by him being dragged forward, that is, he should not be dead yet, and the blood splashes everywhere may have been left because of his struggle.
After sorting out the thoughts in his mind, Ling Mo first determined one thing, the thing that happened to the owner of the blood must be a living thing, and that person was estimated to be dead a long time ago and could not die anymore.
This was the first time the three of them had encountered the threat posed by living beings since they stepped into the ominous land, and the previous dangers were almost all brought by the magic circles everywhere, but no one was sure that those creatures that posed a threat to them were native to this ancient land or from these monks who had strayed into it!
Following the bloodstains, the three of them moved forward more carefully, they didn't know when something inexplicable would pop out.
The blood stains are getting lighter and lighter, it seems that the guy's blood is almost gone, judging from the traces of dragging, he also stopped struggling, for the monk is actually very difficult to faint, it seems that the guy has died by here.
After walking a while, a new trail of blood appeared in the sight of the three people, and both traces continued to stretch forward.
Finally, there is a new change, this time it is not bloodstains, but the bluestone road itself, there was originally only one bluestone road suddenly changed, and it branched out!
A three-way road appeared in front of the three people, and the trail of drag followed the bluestone road on the left. Except for the glaring bloodstains, the three paths are almost identical.
Ling Mo looked at Gu Duzhong, the meaning was obvious, where to go, you decide!
Gu Duzhong didn't dare to be careless, but walked to the place where the bluestone road forked, took out three pieces of tortoise shell and began to deduce, while the imitation of the Eastern Emperor Bell was suspended above his head to assist him.
The deduction quickly had results, but Ling Mo saw that Gu Duzhong's face had become bloodless.
Bian Lingxi looked at Gu Duzhong and stopped deducing and asked, "How ancient is it, which way shall we go?"
Gu Duzhong laughed to himself, "The result of the deduction is vague, and there is no clear result at all." But it wasn't fruitless, and when I was deducing, the soul of the soldier awakened, and it told me that it was safer to take the middle path. ”
Hearing Gu Duzhong say this, Bian Lingxi had no objection, and Ling Mo didn't have anything. After determining the route of the road, Ling Mo became a pathfinder again, although with his powerful spiritual sense, he didn't find which of the three paths was better, but purely from the feeling that the other two paths in the middle and on the right were much better than the bloodstained road on the left.
The fork in the road on Bluestone Road was so abrupt, and Ling Mo didn't simply see this as a branch. In a place where danger is everywhere, it's more like having them face a choice, a choice between life and death!
Maybe God always likes to joke, Ling Mo, who was in charge of pathfinding, just took a few steps out of his feet and there was a fluctuation without warning, this was a manifestation of the operation of the magic circle!
"Damn!" Ling Mo scolded secretly, and in a flash of brilliance, Ling Mo disappeared in place, leaving only the stunned two people.
